no.. but you can't go wrong with seidio cover cases.. they go for $30-20 online but you can hopefully fine them at your local best buy stores for $10. I'm happy with my cover.. it's not slick as carbon fiber or metal nor it's rough, i can say the case is just perfect..

There are also the "Chrome" Casemate Barely-there's on Ebay, fwiw.

I'm leaning towards this one it has a metal back finish with a silicone wrapping the phone. What do you guys think?

when it is difficult but not impossible, very careful when disassembling
the material 3m is expensive

Hay thanks, saw your link, purchased it, applied it. Ive been looking for a nice carbon fiber case/skin. Its just unfortunate that the nexus one doesnt have to many case options. heres a couple picks. i believe they're 3m di-noc carbon fiber vinyl. Nice to the touch, the issue comes at the edges where its round, and the added thickness makes it incompatible with the dock which was my biggest woe.
UPDATE: Removed the bottom part, I use the dock to much and cant handle the incompatibility, i think it look just fine without the bottom part.

I put a carbon fiber vinyl on my nexus one then I a got a TPU case with a see through back and black edges for more protection since the carbon fiber only cover battery door and bottom. not the best looking but I think it looks ok.

Best TPU case ， good for protection

True but I rather be "bulky" and have peace of mind than to cry later with a broken phone.

I bought one of these cases when i first got my phone. STAY AWAY. From the white one atleast. The color of the case used to mess with my camera sensor causing all my shots to come out all washed out. Case sure did look good though.

Just a warning: the glossy black case does scratch (being glossy black)

That HTC Sensation Tough Case looks like the OtterBox commuter.
I am using the Commuter and I love how it looks, much better build quality that the one for the EVO 4G and HD2.

The case looks much better in the pictures, but still is a nice looking case. I got it from the link in the op. The free goodies and nothing special. And the case fits perfectly.

I use a FlexVue Case, bought off eBay.... Its pretty cool the way the middle is clear, kinda fancy if ya ask me !

You should look into ghost armor instead...I have the carbon fiber skin on my grey hox from them and it looks and feels great.
Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk 2

I've never tried the skin on my HOX but I do have their carbon fiber skin installed on my touchpad. It feels really nice and holds up well. I've had it for almost a year, and it's still holding out just fine. So I'd say that the same is true for this one.

I want the skin but I'm not sure if it will like a "skin" or part of the phone. I just do.t want something cheap looking. Got a link to the ghost armor skin you have?

If you say "instead" it is implied that there is some reason why ghost armor is better or this skin is flawed... otherwise it doesn't mean anything.

This skin looks sick! but I want the looks of my HOX just the way it is sexy and appealing....

Looks good on the AT&T black model, on the white one not so great IMO

I am concerned how well it would stick around the corners. It also provides zero protection for the camera. Finally, the whole purpose of a case is to be able to take it off and replace if it gets scuffed damage. How cleanly does this remove?

First off, you keep comparing this skin to a case, they're two totally different things.
Second, it is easy to remove, just wipe it off after.

I'd have to agree with vioalas about comparing the two. This is for someone who is more concerned with the aesthetic of the phone that a case may take away. In term of protection, obviously a case is better but you'll have to deal with the extra bulk.
And for the corner, as I said, I don't have the skin on my HOX. I have it on my touchpad so I can't be certain about the quality of this skin on a HOX. But on my touchpad, it took the skin around a week to totally adhere to all the corners. Since then, I'd really have to use force to peel it out.

Cruzerlite Persona's for the One S

So I saw these became available over the weekend and had to order them. I got 3 of them. I got the Black & White Abstract (Inverted), Camo Light Green, and Andy Scratched. As I have said in the past, I had this series on my Gnex and that is why I rushed to get these. Let me say again, not disappointed. Highly detailed, great TPU feel (not plasticy like some would think by the looks) and kickass designs. It doesnt have the volume cut out but as I have said before, I actually am happy it isnt. I dont click them on accident with any of my Cruzer Lite cases on. All other cut outs are perfect. Ive become a pro on putting on these cases. FYI, there is a wrong way to put them on. Start from the top and then the bottom right side and then finish up with the bottom left side. This way, all the cutouts match up 100%. I have a crappy cam in bad lighting so the pics are crap. Im sorry. Check out cruzer lites site or amazon for high res ones.
I thought the Andy Scratched was going to be my fav but once I got the camo one up close and noticed there are Andy's hidden in there, its now my fav.

Which case do you mean? The personas are more a fancy and the A2's have the Andy on the back with texture.

I'm talking about the andy scratched case. Do the green scale looking part feel different to the rest of the case or is it just glossy?

It feels like the rest of the case. The persona line is just fancy designs. They dont add any different feel.

What's the difference between the 'Persona,' 'A2,' and plain TPU cruzerlite cases?
I like the design of the 'Argyle' type, but if it's not as good quality materials I may opt for another.

Persona is their fancy line with all the different designs, the A2 is what got them famous with the Andy in the case design, which also adds to a better grip I think and the plain is just a plain tpu one with no grip. I have the persona and A2 and I have the A2 on my phone 90% of the time.

Thanks man
these are really cool appreciate the post

Dbrand skins out today

Per https://www.facebook.com/dbrandSkins/posts/421055668019174:0 they should be out today.
Yay!

Trying to figure out what route I wanna go w/ the 6P in regards to skins, lol.
I've been using a mix of colors with the carbon fiber; but I might go w/ a wood skin this time.

Nice.

For anyone who plans on just doing the back with a carbon color, check this out. Basically you're buying 2 and getting 1 free.
https://dbrand.com/mkbhd/nexus-6p

Any legit dbrand COUPON discount codes?

I'm getting the frost color 6P. What skin color/texture do you guys think would work well with it?
I got frost because it's such a beautiful color but I know a skin would probably work better for me than a case because the phone is already large and adding a case will add to the bulk.

The graphite 6P with white carbon and black carbon camera and logo looks ridiculous. Need a graphite 6P for that black fingerprint reader and dark sides. Great contrast.

I kind of want to go with a wood skin...
Opinion time! Aluminum phone - mahogany or zebra wood?

Here's my personal preference

Uhhhh yeah... No, maybe? I'm betting a TGSP won't go edge to edge like the skin will. I could be wrong. These skins are cut really precise, so putting it on top of something else might leave gaps at the edges.

I've had a front skin from dbrand before. It has a slight lip on it so no. I personally wouldn't buy a front skin again. I hated when my finger slid into the edge of it.

I'm not sure which one to go with.

Also, if they are releasing a copper skin, they might surprise is with other stuff. I'm going to wait a few days before deciding.
