It looks like they've got a decent amount of Nexus stuff.

Personally, I'm waiting for incipio

This is what I went with for mine:
Crystal Skin
Should be similar to the ones that were popular with the myTouch / Magic. The resin TPU ones.
And for screen protectors I will see if these are any good. Seems to be an invisible shield / BSE clone.
As long as they hold up until more accessories become available I'm fine.
I don't think the cases from fommy are good because some of the cases block the proximity sensor on the phone.
I've had the resin TPU one on my magic for quite some time, and its the best I have ever used. It doesnt add alot of weight to the phone, and lso one of the easiest to install.
I really hope somebody comes out with a carbon fiber case, that would be sweet.
I am getting the privacy screen protector from Fommy and I'll post back my findings on the sucker.
It'll be cool if moshi comes out w/ something. My friend has one for her iphone and it looks sweet! It is very stream-lined and doesn't make your phone any fatter. I typically hate cases. However, I think what moshi has looks pretty sweet.

That skin looks pretty cool. Care to share any pics of it installed onto your phone when you have a moment?
I know in the past people were saying that magnetic closures messed up the G1's compass over time. Is that turning out to be true? I would think the N1 and any other phone with a compass would suffer the same fate if that is the truth. I like having my compass..
I bought the Ferrari car charger from that site. I ain't get it yet but when I will, ill post a review.
never order from fommy! i had the worst experience with them. i ordered the screen protector and the clear case (both were pre-order).. and also another screen protector for my N97.. later realized they didnt have the cheapest deals.. wanted to cancel the order the same day i ordered them. called customer service, noone picked up. tried a hundred times.. emailed them as well to no avail. come monday, i get a confirmation email that one of the items was shipped. argh! finally after calling nonstop, a customer rep finally picked up. I can only be refunded for the two items that hasn't shipped yet.

Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with fommy. I on the other hand had no problem with the site. I had no problem calling them and asking them and speaking to a representative.
What about the battery they have...That doesnt look like the right battery! It says it fits 3-4 phones....Dosent look right...What do yall think?
Be very careful ordering from Fommy
Anyone with a few minutes should take a look at this forum thread. It is a long thread and I don't expect anyone to read it all. The bottom line is Fommy does not have much of a credibility when it comes to their salespeople.

Don't order a ton, who knows how long they will do this for.
Just saw this on AndroidForums, thanks for the tip rubi76.
Just 2.85 USD! I couldn't turn it down... I will let you know how it is... I bought the BSE last time and gave up trying to put it on... although I will be keeping my phone in an otterbox defender I want to try this out!
Yeah, I ordered one as well. How can you say no when you just pay for shipping.
cheers. ordered one too, hopefuly it wont take too long to ship from the US to england.
Thanks. 4.88 USD, I ordered two. Now my Dad can't say I don't think of him. Haha.
Ordered one too, only 2,24€!
Good looking out. I ordered one too. I wonder if i can put this on inside my Defender case, and if so, how will it change my touch screen performance? Can't be too careful, right?
Just got one thanks for the heads up
thanks! got mine for $2.84! hopefully its good!
I've been looking for a case for long time just ordered one, thanks a lot!
Nice! Ordered 2 as well. Will let you guys know how long international shipping takes.
Thanks for the info, been looking for one and couldn't pass up this deal
=D ordered one too. A friend sms'ed me about it
I like these a lot actually. I've never used THIS brand, but I ordered invisibleSHIELD by ZAGG when I initially purchased my Nexus One in February. Its been great for me. My only complaint, as you see in the pictures, is it leaves small areas uncovered (along the crease lines). Its such a small area, but of course mine got a small nick right in between on the side crease when my son pulled it off of the dresser.
Other then that, it saved my ass when I was moving a dresser and metal pieces and one hit my pocket and put a thick scratch on my screen protector that's part of this shield but did not go through.
I'd order this for the $2.34 but I LITERALLY don't even have $2 in my account until Tuesday, as sad as that is lol.
Awesome! Thanks!
just ordered two of them thinks for the tip sir... was going to order like ten but then i said thats not nice lol so only two but thanks
Thanks OP. Got myself one. Even though i havent put on my bestskinsever, couldnt miss out for $2.85.
Wow just noticed its not just for the N1. Its for every phone on their site. First 1000.
Amazing, just got myself one, can't beat the $2.85 price!
I cant place my order, paypal send me and error:

QUESTION
I um also ordered also ordered one for my coworkers iphone4 and my boss blackberry curve she paid the shipping so it was free all the way good find op... but question how long does shipping take
Ordered my SM-910C Note 4 on Friday. Bought overnight shipping. It will arrive sometime today. Looked hard at dozens of cases on eBay and a few on YouTube on Saturday. Even though this case looks chunky, the phone itself will probably feel huge in lady hands, so I bought it. The case shipped from Maryland and believe it or not, it arrived in my morning mail. Love this case. My fingers will have to stretch but it looks and feels like a tank ... I won't have to worry about whether or not it will protect my Note. Besides the size, just know, this case os HEAVY even without the phone in it. I don't care though. diane

Give us some pictures.
do you have a Verizon phone? The pictures they posted online only show one hole position and with the change in Verizon Note 4 microphones I am curious if they support that.

I don't have the Verizon phone.
I'm also have two love mei cases from 2014,yeah it surely heavy even without the Note.Firstly have one from eBay,disappoint that the glass comes broken and wait the replacement glass from seller and it never comes until now,if someone of a same experience from eBay seller? Again ordered from lovemeicases.com and get the case shortly as order confirmed and have it for protection all the way, firstly I'm hanging between love mei and lunatik and now come to a conclusion that the love mei case is a reliable one indeed if you don't care too much the bulky,for the case don't effect the operation experience as expected,let alone the extreme protection performance,the only thing you may care is going to buy from verified seller,anyway,purchase from eBay seller is not a pretty experience indeed....good luck!
Preorder currently up. Not available with prime as of posting this.
Looks really nice imo. Love the minimalism and branding moved to the side. Wish the fingerprint cutout was more precise like the Verus case, the cutout is right around the beveled ring. Regardless will be getting this case, Diztronic has always made awesome simple cases. Thought I'd post incase people were waiting or about to buy another.
Nice, I will definitely buy one. I always support Diztronic when they make a case for a device I own.
Hopefully @OneStepAhead might confirm the USB-C port opening is as large as the thin device and case will allow. Seems like we're going to have some hit or miss stuff going on with some cables and cases, heh. Obviously with such a thin device and case, it can only be so big, though.
Thanks for the heads up!
Edit: Does not seem to be on their website yet. I usually order there so he doesn't have to give a cut to Amazon, lol.

i pre-ordered the black one last week since ive had it on my note 3 previously, and absolutely loved it. I can post pics if anyone wants them once i have it.
Hopefully it will be available soon for non US/Canada based buyers. Very happy with my previous Diztronic cases.

I'm curious... what colour did everyone get? I went with Charcoal Grey for my Aluminium N6P. But I was thinking I'd like to customize it a bit with a rainbow "X" logo from DBrand or Slickwraps (just for the heck of it) and was thinking maybe the Black version would make the logo "pop" a bit more...
Just saw the listing on Amazon. Love Diztronic cases, have used them on my last 2 phones.
haven't got my shipping yet ....

Mine shipped from OAK CREEK, WI. Estimated delivery 11/7
just tracked my order and even though it still says November 16th on Amazon, i will have it in my house on Monday the 9th.
My charcoal grey will be here Monday! Love me some Diztronic cases.
Guess it might be a bit hard to tell atm. Though does anyone think a dbrand skin will be able to be applied to the back of this case easily? Lots of people did this with the OPO and it looked awesome.
anyone get theirs yet?
I have used a Pitaka case in the past on my Note 10+, and the experience was pleasant. It was a little rough around the edges/cutouts but it wasn't so bad. So I decided to order one for my 8 Pro as well. Given the pandemic, shipping hasn't happened despite ordering 4-5 days ago, and I'm considering the Latercase as a result.
Pros of the Pitaka is that it has the ability to connect magnetically to car mounts and what not, but that's about it (vs the Latercase at least). But I'm about to order the Latercase to check it out.
Has anyone had experience with the Latercase? Are they shipping quicker? Any qc issues?
I appreciate any input!
I ended up ordering both too, I'm in the UK still waiting on latercase after 10 days of getting my shipment notice. I chalk it down the covid situation because last time I ordered my latercase for my pixel 4 XL it was super fast and smooth. They can't do much since it's been stuck with DHL and has said "processed at origin".
Pitaka case just arrived yesterday and I have it on the phone.
I'm very happy with the pitaka, it's exactly what I expected, I've had one before on my pixel 2. It's fit and finish is great and the cutouts are perfect. It has a nice lip over the camera too, so you don't need to worry about placing the phone down and damaging the camera.
But since we are talking minimalist cases here, unless you need the magnetic features... I'm going to guess the latercase is what I'll stick with... Since the pitaka is slightly thicker at 0.85 where as the latercase is only 0.6, probably due to not having any magnets inside.
In addition... If the latercase is how it is pictured on the website... It has more precise cutout holes (around the flash module and autofocus) none of the phones colour is shown... On the pitaka I can see the phones colour because the cutouts are slightly too big. You can also see the phones colour show on the front and sides, which doesn't bother me in any way... I wonder how the latercase compares.
I will post an update once my latercase arrives, hopefully soon! I pre-ordered it 6 weeks ago!

Please add some pictures of both cases on your phone
How about Air Case from Pitaka?
I'm using the mag case from Pitaka, really enjoy it. I heard about the Latercase but never used it.
Talking about minimalist cases, there's another case from Pitaka that looks minimalist, and it has no magnetic feature. It's called the Air Case. It looks better than the mag case from the picture on the site.
Has anyone had experience with that?
I recieved my latercase around a week ago. Very happy with the product and the shipping (Im Norwegian)
both of these are not designed for drop protection so its a shame

My pre order still has not arrived in the Netherlands. Good to see you are happy with it, makes the waiting worth while...
I would love to use either of the cases but until they close up the buttons and cover those along with the top and bottom on the devices they won't be a fit for me.
I like minimalistic cases like these but want every side, button, etc covered. It's 100% possible as mnml has cases like that and so do other 3rd parties cases.
If and when they do that, then I'll buy. Just feedback. Not meaning to complain.

Using the fathers days' 15 % promotion makes it £34 from pitaka. Quite a margin vs amazon.
I got both cases... Just received the Pitaka today and have been using the Later case for 2 weeks now.. by looks, both are identical.. by feel I like the Pitaka more, you can feel the metirials in the case better than the Later case... also for some reason the camera ridge is a bit higher which will give the cameras slightly extra protection... Also the later case is thinner, I guess the Pitaka has the metal liners inside the case so it feel more sturdier...
Let me know if you like to see pics of both on and off the device...

Also if anyone is buying the Pitaka case... Install Honey... That gave me a $7 discount by applying a promo code at check out.... Hope this helps..

Jesus, I don't know why I didn't think to check Amazon first.
I ordered off Pitaka's website at a small discount well over a week ago and have a feeling I'll be waiting a while for the case to get here. Amazon over here has the case at full price but it'll be delivered in 2 days, that's just silly. I have half a mind to buy it and return it when the original one comes.
For anyone wondering about the Later Case, mine just arrived today, I also have one on my S20 Ultra, highly recommend, the quality and feel is absolutely spot on.......?
Those who already received the Pitaka: does the wireless charging work as promised?
Following the thread and looking forward to someone with both cases do a side by side comparison
Never buy latercase, it's a rip off of Pitaka, they even sued them. Shameful........but that's MHO.

While I'm no big fan of Lew or Latercase, the fact that it's a rip off of a Pitaka case has been rather disbursed. Yes, they are quintessentially the same in terms of looks - but they aren't identical. There's a different feel to each one and a different build quality. It's not like Lew is literally ordering his case exactly where Pitaka gets theirs from and just brands it as a "Latercase". He uses a different carbon fiber weave, his cases have a different texture/feel, and they also don't possess the magnet that's built into the case.
I have no allegiances with either company, but the Pitaka just makes sense for me because their case has the magnet that allows me to just throw the phone on the magnetic mount on my car. I'm hoping the OnePlus Warp wireless charger works with the case is all, since that's how I primarily charge the phone.
At this point I'm frustrated with the wait time with the Pitaka case. I ordered it on June 5th and it probably won't be here for at least another 4-5 days. I could've just ordered it off Amazon and got it way sooner.
How's the shipping for the Latercase looking?

I hope you have better luck with your order than I am. I ordered on the 1st. Last update was on the 6th. Emailed 3 times and finally got a canned reply yesterday stating my order had been handed off to the carrier and it wasn't their problem.
