Quick Review On My N1 Case

So I picked up THIS case from Amazon there what I think...

Pros:
-Makes typing easier
-Protects phone from scratches
-Makes phone a lot less slippery
-Nice feel in the hand
-Actually makes buttons easier to press for me
-Disguises phone (if you don't want everybody to know you have a N1)
-Stopped me from lightly tapping the outside of the screen while holding it so I don't have those inaccuracy problems because of lack of multi-touch
Neutral:
-Seems to block the bottom microphone a bit but people say I still sound crystal clear.
Cons:
-Phone doesn't look as good
-Blocks dock connectors
Should you buy it?
I think so it made my N1 a lot more usable and I feel a lot more comfortable with it now because without it my N1 feels very fragile.

I ordered this case, im glad its good, one question, is it a lint magnet?

As far as I can tell, no.

Whats' the name of that cool clock & weather widget? Been searching the market for something like that...

slightly off topic.... are you using HTC's Sense or some other apps/tweaks?

It's called Weather Widget(s) you need to get the donation version for the flip clock. No special workarounds for Sense it's just a widget that looks like HTC's flip clock

Thank you so much on that review. I just might consider on buying that case.

I have the translucent version of this case. I think it looks slightly better than the black one, though not by much.
I pretty much agree with the OP's review. The dock connectors at the bottom are blocked, so I guess after the docks come out I may be looking for something else. It's fine for now.
It does keep the camera from getting scratched up when the phone is laying on a table.
And no, it's not much of a lint magnet.

I have the same case as the OP... and I agree on his spot on review!
But... (at least for me) it is a "lint magnet".... as I think most silicon cases are.
When the "docks" come out, I think you will need to remove almost any case in order for it to fit. All "external" cases add some bulk.
My plan it to install a full body film and *still* use the silicon case.
Here is why...
I am a little anal when it comes to "protecting" my phone. I paid full price for this bad boy, and want it to last. My G1 after about 16 months still looked like it was just out of the box.
When you use these silicon cases... dust and other crap still get inside of them. Then when you take it in and out of your pocket, that stuff acts as a really fine sandpaper and after a while you will notice some wear. Now, I am not a big fan of the whole phone film protector, but I plan on keeping it hidden under my case.

How is taking the phone in and out of your pocket? Does the silicone make it more difficult?

Maybe a little microfiber or felt inside the case would make for a better fit and better protection? I'm assuming the inside is just plastic...?

Just got mine today and it feels great in my hand. Its a little bit loose around the sides, but I feel it's much more protected than with out one.

Short Review and Photos of Mesh (Hard Case) Casing

Hello everyone! Just wanted to share this with the people here. Bought an Orange mesh case on ebay via London Magic Store and have been very happy with it. It's so nice that I am considering buying the white and possibly the blue one as well.
It doesn't provide as much protection as the gel cases, but it makes the device easier on the eye. It simply looks sleek.
Now on to the photos:

this orange one looks great!
i'll wait until my red one dies, if ever... LOL
have anyone wondered.... Why the hell the cases does not cover the bottom of the phone??????, we just need a pin size hole for the mic
all these slick great looking hybrid (soft/hard) cases are like that... why?
not like we have any connectors there

I thought the mesh cases were the ones with holes in them? Usually, on Ebay, these are just referred to as "rubberized hard back case" or something like that.

I'll wait for my white to die off too.. LOL.
But somehow, I prefer the real mesh design (the ones with holes all over) but they don't come in orange.
As for the bottom opening, it's most probably to retain the flexibility of the case, so U can snap in and out easily. Mine came with a hairline crack at the bottom.. but it's a minor thing.. so Im not bothered.

maybe that's the reason
otherwise i can't understand why the soft gel / rubber ones are fully wrapped, but the nice stylish ones are butt naked
i already have a full gel one, it's great for protection, but sometimes it gets a bit on the edge, when the finger is too close to the end of the screen.
so i prefer the stylish models like the orange one, makes using the phone easier, the finger doesn;t get caught in the way of the gel/rubber cases when sliding close to the edge of the screen

Naiveness ;> It's to save money, simple as that. Making a case which covers the top and bottom requires more precision work in order for it to snap in/out easily enough and beside that it also require more material and design work.
Back to topic though, you tricked my expectations Not nice playing with people's mind like that, saying it's a mesh case review when it's not. Anyhow, t'is a nice case, I should be getting the black version within a day or two.
As far as protection goes... Not really expecting much, if any at all. Pretty sure I'll end up buying a case mate tough case or something similar for the scenarios when I know I'll be more likely to drop things. Too bad they're pretty expensive, in comparsion.

but the mesh case and this case is identical
just different colours
the mesh has holes, this one is solid

Coz if I'm not wrong, the mesh cases are official Samsung accessory, made by Anycall. There's a shop here (set up by some China nationals) that sell cheap cases and they happened to have something similar to the one shown here, with various colours... They're S$15 and look cheap. Not sure if they are the same.
Do note the price varies alot.. U$11++ for the mesh ones and U$3++ for this with free shipping..

ihave the same case from london magic store but in purple and its great, gives the phone a lot more solid feel without making it too chunky.
also recived an orange mofi case to keep it in and even with the case on it fits in fine, very pleased

Anybody knows if this cases fit Samsung Galaxy SL (i9003)? I would love to buy one, but I don't know if it's going to fit with my phone!
Thank you mates!!

Nice looking case. Im stuck with some half metal half plastic pile of depression that scratches after the slightest graze. Seems like i got what i had for the money......

Evocel Case (Slim Armor)

Did anyone test this case, it looks nice. Just like spigen cases.

It looks like a spitting image of a Spigen case. It does look nice just wonder how much bulk it adds, I know I sound like a broken record but I do not like cases that add too much bulk.
I have a Spigen case for my Nexus 5, and it is very nice but adds a lot of bulk.

yea i agree with this i had a spigen neohybrid for nexus 5 made it thick. and since its not rounded like the case in the back you lose the functionality of the rounded back where you can tip the phone one way or another for the display when its on its back. but i like it too.

Can any one confirm if this case has a flat back?

one of the reviews on amazon claimed it did indeed have a flat back, thus rendering the "rock to activate active display" feature unusable

Pictures anyone?

The case is freaking awesome. By far the best case I've ever bought for any phone. I would post pics but damn Tapatalk won't let me.

Update:
The case kept hitting/pressing on the volume rocker and power button which lead to constant bug reports being generated. Sucks cuz it was a great case. It took me a while to figure out wtf was happening lol

I bought one, we will see how she goes. Looks badass though.

I also picked one up on amazon yesterday. Will post some pics once it arrives.

Got the case
I got the case in blue. The price is right for sure. I actually love the case because it makes it angled and square. The buttons on the side feel awesome to click now too. The cons are that after two days of having it in my pocket the outside blue plastic corners are picking up the black from my pockets. That's the only issue really, my headphones and charger fit perfectly on it and it feels snug, there is a slight bend in the rubber at the top but NBD. Also, the plastic outside is mat, not shiny though the pictures would have you believe otherwise. Let me know if anyone else wants detail or pics.

how thick does it make the phone?
anyone try the BRILA cases also?

I am getting my replacement today... I will post some pix

eh, mine comes tomorrow lol impatient

size
About 1.5cm, still fits in my pocket, all good. Gonna pick up a darker colour one today because the blue edges are turning dark.

It does some damage on the leather back

This company is legit. I got a replaced back for the color because it got messed up. They were super cool about it.
"I went ahead and included the Shadow Blue case for you, thinking that this color might wear the best. We hope that our effort to assist you shows that we care about you and if you can send us a quick note when you receive the package, that will be much appreciated. Thank you very much, Matt, and please have a wonderful evening!"
These guys have my respect.

Adopted case

Anyone with a 6p try it with the adopted case bought from the Google store?
If so how is it?
Sent from my Nexus 5

I've got the case but the 6p comes in tomorrow.

The case is decent quality but very ordinary looking. The biggest issue which is a deal breaker for me is the fact that it's very difficult to take screenshots due to a design flaw in these cases. The ridges on the inside of the case don't line up perfectly with the buttons. Try it yourself and you'll see what i'm talking about.

My phone is on route

Also this case causes issues if you use a tempered glass screen protector and causes it to either lift up or issues with the edges of the case going over the glass.

Frosty!

As others have said, the case is decent but not without issues. It is a plain TPU case with nothing particularly special going for it. It is probably a little overpriced for what you get; Diztronic and others will be releasing similar cases for cheaper if you can wait.
It does cause issues taking screenshots, though they are not insurmountable; you need to be careful how you press buttons through it to do so. As someone else said, it is incompatible with some of the current screen protectors. I tried the intelliARMOR, but they are a no go together. IntelliARMOR is working on a revised version of their protector.
Overall, I like the case. It is of good quality and it looks good, if plain. The black one looks good on my aluminium phone with the silver fingerprint sensor giving it some flair while not looking out of place.
I prefer the microfiber backed case though. It is essentially the same case with the same problems, especially the overpriced part, but with a different look, feel, and better grip.

Sure! Give it a few weeks for the phone to get here...

Here you go.
The case is ok. Not bad, but not great. The cutouts could be a lot better and on the front, the case covers too much of the edges imo. Kinda hard to swipe from the edges if you use that functionality a lot in apps. I should've probably waited for something else but this one looked pretty slick on the google store. Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I really like the Adopted case, it fits nicely and snuggly without adding too much bulk. It does look a bit plain and of course like any other case it hides a lot of the beauty of the device...yes...including the visor which it has grown on me over the days.

I've had some issues with 3rd party USB C cables. The cutout on the case for the USB isn't large enough. I'm thinking about enlarging it but haven't decided just yet what to use.

I thought about using a soldering iron. I'm not sure how he did it though without deforming the cutout. An iron doesn't generally remove material it just sort of melts it away and pushes it back.
Also, this is such a thin device that if you remove much you risk separating the cover completely at the charge port. I'm not convinced you can remove enough for many 3rd party cables. It almost requires a different case design.

Does anybody have a 50% code off for adopted case they dont need? Would greatly appreciate it.

This is my clear favorite since I literally HATE flip cases and generally think, that cases should not kill the elegant shillouette of a phone.
So I don´t link monster security safety cases either. But that´s just me

I have found these which let you add custom images:

I ordered this one Flip Leather Case, but when i ordered it come from China (available in EU warehouse now) and is stil in transit.

Is there a flip case that has a magnet inside and smart sleep function? To turn on and of the phone when it flips? I didn't find on ebay.

Curious if anyone got one of these cases

Sandstone Case
I got this one from eBay. Copies the sandstone finish from OnePlus. The ring stand can be removed.
Item number: 291908663865(Can't post links yet)

I wanted one like the caselogic I have for my Note 4 but could not find. This one at least sort of "looked" the same. But it doesn't lol. the side gold color is silly and ugly but it is $5 and delivered from USA. So its a cheap much better solution till I can find what I want/need
PS: caselogic for note 4 is beter cause it has hard case on the side. this Chinese doesn't (it just changed the side color.

good things about the case:
1. protects well the screen
2. using the fingerprint almost makes me feel that this case is a must. it fits my finger so perfectly that I have no miss reading it
3. because the side part is much stronger than the original case I don't accidently turn off the screen anymore when I rotate the phone
overall: not pretty but very functional case

I got the black leather case from the first link you posted from amazon... got it to hide the almost-rose-gold phone body color that was the only option to purchase during the 'lightning deals'. It fits really well, added grip on the sides, the fake leather backing gives it a nice texture but very plastic-y, doesn't overheat, overall it offers very little protection on the corners and the front glass is protected by the border of the case but only minimally. Hope this helps.

the leather is not even close to be leather. it is plastic imitating leather. The caselogic is way much better texture. My hope is that as the phone gets more popular a company like caselogic decides to build a case for. But ... it is only $5 and way much better than the one that comes with it.
I do like that i have to actually put some pressure to click in the buttons. this way, i never accidentally click on anything. And i never missed a fingerprint reading since i changed to this case. Link i gave is the same one, but delivers fast from usa.
if anyone find one that is real leather and not plastic in the sides please let me know.
this is what i want:

Bought this case https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N8Y8WUD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Fits exactly as it should, slightly thicker than the stock case so the camera is _slightly_ more protected. Also has the thicker bumpers on the edges in the same material as the rest of the case. Not incredibly shock-proof but it fits the phone very well, looks nice, and when paired with the full-front Toshion screen protector it is very classy IMO. Pictures to come later when I get home!
