So i just got my case , ordered it from ebay, was £2.99, think its gone up to £3.99 now, but its nice! I mean its plastic, and it takes away a bit from the niec glass feel, but it sure beats a cracked phone lol
Made a video here - http://youtu.be/jdE-1LVqbrA
Link to the case is in the description
Nice! Can you still see the nice effects of the back of the nexus?

I mentioned it in the video, you can , but only in the bottom right corner , i mean, the case is nice, but it doesnt feel quite as nice as the glass , but i just dont wanna break it lol
Nice video review, thanks. I am really torn with whether to get a case or not. I really do love the look and feel of the phone without a case or bumper, but as you said it's nice to have some type of protection.
For me I think the clear case or a bumper would be the best options because you still want to be able to see that pretty back side. Thanks again.
Ordered the clear 1 myself still waiting on it coming though...
Wireless Charging?
The main thing holding me back from getting a case is that it seems like most of them would interfere with wireless charging. I'd love to see a review that includes testing with a Qi charger.
Ended up ordering a clear one even though my nexus is not here yet LL3

Just ordered the clear case. For under $2 Canadian you can't go wrong.
thanks for the review on youtube, i ordered this one in red.
its now £3.90 but it comes with an s pen and possibly a screen protector (i dont know)
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310513140819&var=610164948368
i ordered this from an uk based ebay store because i didnt want to wait 3 weeks or more for a similar case to ship in from china...
I did a review on one of these too.

I have this same case (except the black one) and use the energizer QI charger and it works just fine through the case. After it's been charging for a while it has a little stuck feel to it just like when plastic gets warm. It's not melting or anything, but it has a feel like there was a small magnet holding it in play after it gets warm. Doesn't do that without the case.
I'm not a huge case fan and I would use the phone naked because I'm really careful with my stuff, but the phone slides from the glass back. Different surfaces at different speeds, but I have seen it fall off many things from watching it. I am going to try a back screen protector and see if that prevents it from sliding and just go with that if it does. That a side, this case feels really good for the price.

Hello, pretty new to this forum, but just wanted to thank everyone for the help in advance. I know there are similar threads and there is a master thread for cases, but I've looked though most of it and was unable to find a solid answer.
Basically, I am looking for a semi transulent thin case for the HTC One XL (US Version) that provides a lip for camera protection. I have found some interesting models online, but I am unable to figure out if they would be comptabile with the US version. If anyone could link me or provide insight on the fit to the US model that would be great.
I have listed below a few names of possible cases that I need verification on for fit to US version.
Nillkin Hard Cover Case (White)
HTC HC C700 Ultra Thin Hard Shell Case (Clear) <--- Would be my favorite option, but most concerned about fit
BENKS Magic Cookies <--- Looking for a place to buy this, but also concerned about fit
Once again, I understand that there are similar threads, but this thread is mainly concerned with the fit to the US version of the HTC One X.
Thanks again.
My wife and I both use this case: http://www.amazon.com/Cimo-S-Line-Back-Flexible-Case/sim/B007WGFNHU/2
It fits the US version perfect for me. Provides a lip for the camera, translucent/clear and really shows off the phone, good grip on the sides, and it provides enough protection for small drops. My only negative would be the power button was a little hard to press on mine at first but it's fine now and wasn't ever an issue on my wife's.

I'm glad you started this thread because that is exactly the situation I'm in. I wouldn't want the tpu case posted above though because those clear tpu cases have always yellowed very quickly for me. I'd prefer what you described in a non-yellowing clear or translucent hard case with a tiny lip on the front to protect the screen when placed screen down.

That being said I still just ordered one of those TPU cases from Amazon since they're having a 60% off sale right. I figured for 3 bucks and change including shipping it would be worth a shot.
Use coupon code onexsale at checkout if you're interested.

What he said
I think people make a big deal about the size difference. 0.42mm longer is barely any difference, and it's length which most cases don't cover.
I think the only problem case wise you'll find is with cases with pogo pin cutouts, they won't align. Other than that you'll mostly be fine. (opinion)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PU-LEATHER-...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item2576d5cc20
What do ya'll think?
Am I right to guess that there won't be many cases available for this phone?
I kinda like it, reminds me of those leather pouches that used to come with BlackBerry's. Picking up a black one probably.
Remember that the Nexus 4 is significantly larger than the iPhone 4 (which is the model phone they have used for the case) so the case may be too small for it. :/
iPhone 4:
115.2mm H
58.66mm W
9.3mm D
Nexus 4:
133.9mm H
68.7mm W
9.1mm D
However those cases look really good for the price. Hmmmm...
Looks like a nice case. I'll certainly consider this as one of my leading contenders for a day-to-day holster for my N4. Thanks for the link.
I ordered this one to protect the phone until I get a case for it, it fits the Galaxy S 3 so it should be able to fit the LG Nexus 4:

Thanks! Might order 1 in case I got tired of bumper case.
Id definately buy one of these but have smilar concerns as the poster above, nowhere on there does it give you the dimentions
If they're designed for and Iphone 5 then it isnt going to fit an N4
Stret
I will pick up a HTC sensation xl leather slip case. The dimensions look about right and should suffice until something better is released.
Looks like the One X cases would also work, think I will get this for now: http://goo.gl/iVzQ4
I did ask the seller if it would fit the Nexus 4. He/She said that the case would fit and is the XL case. So I guess the picture is just stock?
For £2.40 and free P&P, there's no point in not trying. If this fits, it will be perfect as I didn't want to get a case to hide the glass and holographic design.

Black and brown on their website. That brown looks really good, obvious grain, love it. If I'd have found their site first, I would have been torn between black and brown. They also have hot pink, but that just looks tacky.

That brown is nice :good: But would it look good with the Nexus 4? I haven't bought one, because I'm still holding out in hopes for other cases/pouches/etc.... BUT for the price, I think I should just take the plunge. When you receive it, could you comment back on how it fits? Or make a review!? :good:

I own the case in purple, I've had it for about a week, I am absolutely in love with it, I got it on ebay for 10$ and It was worth every dime, it adds bulk but I like to know my device is protected, it makes me feel like I can throw my phone on my bed when I get home and it wont break, I have the xtremegaurd installed with it front and back, and the case just feels great, the cut outs are perfect, and the microphones are covered with mesh to keep out air? I guess? The cover on the headphone jack and the cover on the charging port is a nice add on, havent really used the stand much but its sturdy, doesn't feel cheap at all, enjoy the case guys
Purple? As I know, there are only 3 colours: black, white and red.

This case has its ups and downs but I overall think its an exceptional case for the price tag.
Pros: Feels premium, looks amazing, feels good in the hand, great design.
Cons: Scared to drop it, weird way to install, doesn't offer protection to back & camera.

I didn't watch the video with sound yet... but it doesn't look like a full aluminum case... just a bumper (ie, the back isn't covered) so there should be no signal loss. He also stated there is "doesn't off(er) protection to back & camera.". So I think its just a bumper.
There are other threads that show that you have no issues w/ wireless unless you use an aluminum back.

Yes, you're right. It is a bumper case. I've heard even with the full aluminum cases that you only lose one bar of signal so it still wouldn't be that bad.

Yeah.. I did.. I got it from ebay. I explained that in the video and on annotations. Only reason I didn't post a link is because ebay links change a lot. Just go on ebay, type in Luxury Aluminum Bumper Galaxy S 4, look for a US seller, and look for an aluminum bumper picture with indents on the side of the case. You'll find it. I highly recommend it too btw. I've been using it for a week and it looks great and feels good in the hand.

Very good review. Couple suggestions... turn off auto-focus on your camera and then pick up a piece of white posterboard stock and a couple of desk lamps at Target or K-Mart. Something along the lines of this. With your existing good narration, your videos will be near pro quality.

Yeah but try using NFC with a full aluminum case. There is a reason Apple makes the top and bottom of the back of the iPhone 5 out of glass. instead of it being edge to edge aluminum on the back. Full aluminum definitely affects reception.

Very true! But some people don't even know what NFC is! Some don't even use it. Lol

Apple actually puts the bluetooth and wifi radios under the glass pieces on the back panel. So they probably didn't see it as being a good idea to put those under the aluminum as well. An aluminum bumper with a nice glass, polycarbonate back could work well though.
Does any1 know any pure wood cases for the 6P.... I do know about toast but its technically not a case... And it's application is a bit tricky...
Thanks!
Cover-Up's #WoodBack is on the way...
Cover-Up are working on some wood / polycarbonate snap cases for the 6P as we speak! They're due to land at cover-up .com in a few weeks time. If you wanted to drop us an email we'd be happy to let you know when they're ready?

Sent a DM with my mail... Thanks for the heads up
Just out of curiosity, can you tell us where (regionally) your wood is sourced from? And are the cases made/assembled in the U.K.?
And finally, would the Snap case protect the rear camera visor of the phone?
Cheers!

No problem!
Our wood is sourced from all over the world, depending on the species. Some of our woods come from the US and Canada (for example our Walnut and Maple), whereas others come from Asia (Bamboo), South America (Mahogany and Purpleheart) Africa (Padauk and Black Limba) and Europe (Carpathian Elm Burl). The wood is transported to our small studio in South Wales, UK, where it's laser cut and hand-sanded before being combined with our TPU/polycarbonate snap cases.
Our cases for the Nexus 6P will be a variation of our standard #WoodBack case called the #WoodBack Explorer case. These cases are made with rubber-like edges for added grip and impact protection, and feature a raised bezel to protect the screen. Due to the "snap on" style of the case, it will offer some protection to the rear camera visor by very slightly raising the rear of the device from any surface when placed face up.
I hope that helps, any other questions please let me know

Glad to hear the case will be of the Explorer series! It would be really nice if the top and bottom of the phone were also protected by the rubber bumper. Consider my interest piqued, and I'm looking forward to product photos in the days (weeks?) to come

Yep, happy to confirm that the top and bottom of the phone will be protected by the Explorer case. I'll let you know as soon as the photos are available, hopefully later this month

That sounds interesting. Have you ever made one our of purple heart wood? I know it's a really hard wood thus making it hard to sand/cut

We actually do make one with purpleheart. Fortunately due to the small size of the finished piece of wood (and the benefits of using a laser for cutting!) we don't really notice any extra work with this in comparison to our other woods.

That's good to hear, do you have any pictures of one in general?

Unfortunately we can't engrave Nexus on the back of the case because we'd it's a trademarked logo and so we can't replicate it
The good news is cases will be available for pre-order in around a week's time, and ready to ship in 3 weeks time. I'm sorry that the wait has been longer than expected, but we wanted to make sure the cases were 100% right before they're listed for sale.

I have a question regarding a special order of a wood skin if you don't mind sending me a PM to discuss it since its not related to the 6P

Will you guys be able to make wood case with inbuilt Qi receiving pad? I'm interested in getting 6P but the lack of wireless charging is holding me back

Such a case would require your USB C port to be occupied all the time. There hasn't been much interest according to another qi thread here, since our phones charge so quickly and last so long.
I do wish wireless charging was here though [emoji53]

Maybe they could make a male C plug and a female one on the case, with the qi receiver.. That would ensure that you can plug in the cable as well
