Hello there,
First, Id like to thank xda member xjarl for letting me try this case. Original post HERE I believe you can find his products HERE.
Appearance and Quality
I have the VZ ipad slim case. So I'm no stranger to the idea of how to use the slim case. With that being said, I couldn't see any significant difference between the two cases, the material on the VZ case feels thicker to me, but as far as quality they both seems to be in the same line. Looks very nice
Usability
Here is the main diff. between all of the iPad1 cases and this case- This one fits perfectly out of the box. Inside material feels to be very suede-like and the TP feels very secure. Using it in whatever angel feels better as this has 4 points of contact at all time, and closing it is great as well. This one works with a touchstone, although why would someone use a cover while charging is beyond me
IDK if xjarl will be selling them and at what price, but I would def. encourage you to buy it if in the range of ~$18

I have a case that looks very much lke this one (identical in fact) aand is made by Poetic. I concur about the fit and the feeling of security. I haven't found it to charge well on the Touchstone though. The retaining tab at the side gets in the way, so I haave to possition the Touchpad 'off-center' on the dock. Often takes a bit of adjustment to get it to start charging. I tend to just take it out of the case to charge.

PS - nice review and pictures BTW.

I have the poetic case and love it.
To charge on the Touchstone, I just put it on in landscape mode with button to the right and center it.
Yes it's off center but charges

I was looking for the HTC metallic cases online, and found them on many sites for $19.95, which I didn't want to pay after seeing some posts on here saying the clips wore down. I found them on htcpedia.com for $8.99 for metallic, and $9.99 for the clear and black ones.

I've never purchased from them but you can use Paypal and there are customer reviews on the products so I gave it a shot. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else was interested!
What do you mean by metallic? are they metal or metal apearance with a plastic build..
That's just what HTC calls them, I don't know. Look at the pics?
Does metallic mean they're like my case? Mine looks plastic but the inside of it is metal, something about the signal, I don't know for sure.
Hmmm, if someone does decide to order, would like to hear a review on the quality.

Search this forum. There previous posts about it. Also a user from here made a YouTube video about the black one. Just search for it on there.
Also ime metallic refers to color and not material.
Here, I got the links for you.

I have the clear case. Bought it at my local T-Mobile store for $9.99. It has a very snug fit but looks amazing as it lets the sexinesss of the G2 show. The case has the stand which allows the phone to sit up on its own in landscape or portrait. Be careful pulling case off the back of the phone. Very tight and if not careful will scratch phone.

I think you're mistaken - these HTC cases don't have kickstands. I think Body Glove or someone made that one.
Anyway, just a quick review - my case got here in 2 days with Fed Ex (NY to IL), I'd definitely buy from that website again. The case made the phone seem bulky at first but after the first day I was used to it, and it doesn't seem odd at all anymore. I like the finish a lot. I would recommend these cases, especially since they're made by HTC and that gives them the best fit possible.

They are great, but they really get in the way when typing on the top row of keys.
Nonsense!
I wish shipping wasn't $6
For example like this one:

Just want something till the wireless charging orb comes out.
Nothing yet, but I know Seidio has one coming up in January. Don't count Nillkin out yet either or even Poetic lol. But nothing with a kickstand yet.

Looks like the Nillkin's for the Sensation but rubber. Also can you tell if that can be used in landscape?

If it's anything like a picture frame stand then yes it should be able to. I assume all these kickstand cases are made primarily for landscape so it should work. The case looks a bit too thick for my taste.

I hope so. I have the nillkin case for my sensation that looks almost exactly like it. For kicks (pardon the pun) I pulled it out to see if that ever did landscape and the case itself does not. It tipped over in landscape. Maybe the phone uses it's own corner to prop it up as well?

Nice find! Not in the market for one, but that one actually looks good! LOL

Best Case I've used so far. The caseology dual layer.
It gives great protection, just adds a little bulk, case with a good grip.
There's a lot of cool color combination and best of all its just 7.99$.
the Quality is amazing, you can compare it with those 30-40$ case, I highly recommend this case!

Cool! It's close to my Spigen Neo Hybrid but it costs a third of. Now I'm looking for an economic thinner case. I've seen a lot of tpu cases but the only thing I really want is an edge that protect camera glass.:good::good:
Wife has the purple one on her S5. She loves it and the price was spot on :good: I'm a case whore so I think I'm going to try the gold mesh one for mine, currently using a Spigen.
just bought one of these myself. got the android green one with the iCarez 9H Tempered Glass screen protector. Hope it fits with the case, guess we'll find out!
thanks for the find!
- Off Topic- i just realise
Just bought this real leather flip cove caser on Amazon.de (Germany) for 6,99 euro`s. Link http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00IXEKEW4/ref=pe_386171_38075861_TE_item_image.
I don't like magnet near the device. I'm always scared about that

Tablets have been utilizing the tech for awhile now, I think it'll be okay unless you have a floppy disk reader or platter-based hard disk in there!
just got the case today. fits really well. the only thing i dont like is the sides seem a little sharp. im sure that will wear down in time. also i recommend the iCarez 9H Tempered Glass screen protector for this phone.
just ordered this. same color as OP. yay for free shipping
I have the case, its nice and good protection also very well priced. But for me this case adds way too much bulk onto the phone, I've made the brave choice to be caseless

Hey guys I recently bought a UAG casing for my S5 online, and I realized that it doesn't really fit? I'm not sure but it looks like the casing isn't wide enough for the phone or something. Alot of times it feels liek the phone is "popping out" in a bad way, and I can see the gold trim around the phone too.
Do you think I bought a fake one? Cos it's very tough to remove the phone from the casing too and I can hear the creaks and feels like the phone is gonna bend or something!

It depends on where u bought it online? I have a clear one and right now prefer it over a ballistic case and a spigen slim armor cs case. Fits perfectly, and the phone is secure in it. It can be a little tough removing the case, but I prefer it that way... :good:
Mine fits perfectly in my case. It is a little hard to get out, but that it because it fits so perfectly. You shouldn't see any gaps or even any part of the bezel. I have seen a lot of fake UAG cases where they are, for lack of a better term, "warped" and don't fit snuggly, leaving gaps around the bezel. I would be a little concerned that you got a fake one. Where did you buy it? Also, the pics posted aren't coming up on my end to look at it.
I am looking for a good steer. One that doesn't mind being killed, skinned, tanned and slapped in the most minimal way on the back of my Pixel Xl.
Anyone know such a cow?

But seriously, I am not sure of any leather cases that are not of the wallet type. This one is simply a pouch...

Shame right. I love leather covers with no front. Such a rare happening in phones these days.
Also got that Maxboost clear case and MEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH. Thick rear and I hate that. I don't want protection, just grip.
I'm surprised Google didn't come up with one to be honest. Even the iPhone had a nice leather case from Apple. It survived many concrete falls when getting out of my car.
Would be nice if these guys made stuff for the Pixel:

@slickwraps has a couple of the leather-like backs. Personally I'm hoping for the ostrich or football pig leather types ie https://www.slickwraps.com/natural-series-wraps-skins-for-nexus-6.html
I wish SENA would make a couple cases for us

Awe, thats a shame, @slickwraps naturals were fantastic on my Moto Nexus 6..
Yeah I'd love a minimal leather case, a la GS7E. I haven't really seen anybody who makes decent comparable cases.
