I recently made myself on of these cases, it protects the whole phone, looks quite cool and is reasonably cheap at the same time.
What's the verdict? If its worth it i may make a few !

Do you have any details? Materials? Cost? etc?
No need to open a new thread about it.
Personally, I don't think the carbon fibre looks nice on the Sensation.
What I would be interested in is the back cover being made out of carbon fibre
How'd you make it? If so, send one my way, I'll do a extensive review on one w/ a youtube video, if you like.
Just messed about with a sheet of 3m Di-noc and an cheap case of eBay nothing special, check this thread, sorry i didnt realise you could add a poll to an old thread!
Cheers
Got the materials for a few cases on order, pm me if you want to make an offer, just to get started !
...should be here by the end of next week at the latest
Carbon Fiber look Sensation Case
I like the look of the case you made.
Great effort.............
How much would you charge for it?
thanks,
JK Minoch
Hi, where about are you from? Seeing as nobody has been interested, it would cost pointlessly high, especially if you re not form the UK.
Check out my other thread on this, you should be fine and will save money doing it yourself, but of course i will make one if you want me too.
Thanks
Me ? No never I like flashy things, this just looks boring.

I guess I'll have to wait for that, I'm still curious to see how the extended battery is going to look or if they will manage to keep it pretty flush.
I would bet some of the best extended batteries will end up being similar to the HD2 ones, where they have a kick stand built in!
As for case, there are some gels starting to roll out, and what not, but given that the phone is not even a month old, not as much as we would like. Give it a couple months, and most all accessories that are available for the iPhone will be out for this.
hi
any one try this case??
and what is your opinion about it
thnx

I guess if you drop it a lot..otherwise it's gross...
Its looks like it might interfere slightly with the right and left edges of the screen. I'm thinking that it probably doesn't provide much more protection than the Case-Mate while the Case-Mate is IMHO much more pleasing to the eye.
For some reason that one just doesn't look good on the Nexus.
Do you really need something else to hinder the antenna's signal?
Who the **** would use that? seriously. You pay so much for a state of the art device, and you want to wrap it in a $5 piece of aluminium... for what purpose exactly?
This is great, its bullet proof. It might save you. LOL.
what an ugly piece of **** that is. yuck

It's definately NOT bullet proof. Aluminum is one of the softest metals. It'd be rad if they could make the Aluminum look like black gunmetal. Mmmmm. I'd get that.

Available for the 10.1 only so far and hearing the rumours that 8.9 is being discontinued I am not holding my breath big frown...tears almost.
I have a business idea that is revolving around the use of this tablet outdoors for mapping and utilising the 4G network.
I mean what gives? In Australia they don't even offer any other size in the 4G tablet? Its 8.9 or nothing. Surely they would make more accessories give that....ohhh but no!!!
If anyone can source me one of these tough cases I will donate! Promise! I am deadly serious now
This is about as close as I can buy AFAIK?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006WBVU50?is=l
That is very nice for the money. Gives pretty good protection but the tab stays slim.
It looks exactly like the one I bought from amazon. Good little case, made of hard rubber, but still keeps the tab thin and light. I also have a leather portfolio cover, which is nice cause i can type easily in landscape, but the linked cover is amazing for reading books, as there is no flap in the way while reading.
i have a vipertek one i got from amazon for 20$. good quality. not a tough case but it gets the job done.

I just got one of these and its... okay.
In trying to keep it slimline, the 'long' edge has minimal overlap on the screen with the result that, in portrait mode, the case folds back where your hands are in contact with it.
Its better than nothing but not exactly what I would call rugged.
Hi all,
Around 2 weeks ago I found the following cover on the internet. It was only $2,40 so I decided to buy it and try it out. I was kinda skeptical to the quality since it was so cheap, but honestly the quality is rather good! I have been using it for a day now and I have to say, for a case this cheap it feels great. It's nice to have in your hands, I personally like the design. Also it has quite a rubbery feel which feels nice in your hands and also helps it laying on slippery surfaces. Also it is flexible, not too much though. I feel like it will definitely protect my phone if I might drop it or anything like that. The only thing I don't like too much is that the hard buttons are also covered by the cover. However this is not that a big deal, they still function nicely.
Here are some pictures of the cover itself.

Here is one of the cover used on the phone
If any of you guys would like to order this here you have a direct link to the cover:http://dx.com/p/protective-soft-tpu-back-cover-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s4-i9500-transparent-201232
This link is for the transparent one I am using, they also have it in black if you prefer that. So if you are looking for a cheap, but good quality cover for your phone I would definitely recommend this one! Also the ordering process is quick, and delivery to Holland only took around 10 days. You also don't have to pay shipping fees so you have a cover for only $2,40. Worth a try right?
For anyone worrying it says GT-I9500, this also fits on the GT-I9505 version since the phones are exactly the same in size etc.
Has anyone seen a true bumper case for the Note 7? Meaning without a back panel.
I noticed a couple aluminum ones popping up on Ebay but I know those always cause signal issues.
That is exactly what I am looking for too. Hopefully a nice one comes out, or at least someone finds one.

Rhino Shield is showing a pre-order to get an idea of how many people want them. I've had them on my iphone 6 plus and nexus 6p. They're awesome bumper cases and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. I hope they finalize the design and get the note 7's out soon because i'll be buying one on day one.
I use a clear one. Looks decent enough.
