I was perusing the Rearth Case thread and from there came across the i-Blason TPU case. Like the Rearth, it's $10USD well in US, not sure if it's available internationally yet.
I have it on and sporting it right now. I do like it. It gives the phone better grip IMO. The only negative is that it's not clear. I mean you can still see the nexus name but not the sparklies lol. I have also posted a pic of a holster that I had back when the HTC Sensation first came out and I needed some sort of holster before Seidio came out with one. Don't mind the cords lol...

Um, I already ordered two other cases but I like this one better.
Put it on my wish list.
I also ordered this same case, in the frost, I will also post my impressions about it.

If someone could comment on a good glossy tpu case (maybe this one is), I find those have much better grip than matte.

I don't have a N4 but waiting for one eventually and wanted to see what cases there are. Currently I have a Sensation with an i-Blason case and love it as well. Anyone want to try it out? I personally want a clear/frost one. Other colors are black and pink.

I respectfully disagree with your opinion. For my Sensation, I have both the cheap ebay ones that can be bought for around 2-4 dollars and I currently have the i-Blason. Yes they are similar, but the main difference for me when I got these for my Sensation was that the openings and buttons did not align 100%. With the i-Blason, on the Sensation anyway did. So that is why I was inquiring if anyone has tried these out yet.
But you may be right, you never know with new products, but I want to see the proof in the pudding.
I don't know about their quality yet, but I pre-ordered with them because they claimed to be shipping on the 13th. So I figured I'd pick it up just because it was the first case I saw available.
Well turns out it didn't ship until the 21st and that was the last day of their expected timeframe that it would be delivered. They did not expedite the shipping and would not get back to me about requesting a refund on the shipping.
At this point, even if it's a nice case I'm sending it back. I don't like doing business with companies that fail to communicate (and yes, at least with Google I had someone to call regardless of them knowing something, they still answered. They also honored Free shipping for failing to meet shipping timeframe).
Other than that, I ordered the black one and I'll update with the quality of it and pics with it on the device.

I also ordered this case in Frost Clear.
I was a little disheartened to look at the product photos today and see the true representation of the case on the phone.
When I ordered the case on the 19th, the images they showed on Amazon were obviously Photoshopped, but I had hoped they were a decent representation of the case, just not having an actual model phone to place them on for product photos.
The Frost Clear product on the 19th looked like this in their image : imgur.com/PrIEy.jpg
Now, looking at the new image they have, the thing is near white. : imgur.com/PrIEy.jpg
I should have mine in an hour or two, and can take photos and post if anyone is interested. I'll wait to get it in my hands to determine if I'm satisfied. I was looking for something a bit more subdued and dark, yet clear enough to see the rear design of the phone a bit. This new white frosted version is much the opposite of that.

Hmmm, for my sisters s3 she had also ordered 2 cases. One from I-Blason for 15$ and the same on from hong kong for 2.50$ and in the end I think even the Hong Kong was better but your opinion is your own and I will not change it Its just im in high school and I make sure to get the best deals because I cant just go buy the most expensive ones.
Received mine - Photos
Just got mine in the mail. Again, it's definitely not what I was expecting with the original product shots they used on the amazon page.
Here's the gallery : imgur.com/a/QcCKr
I got this as a stop-gap until the bumper or a nicer case was available, so I'm not cringing so much for the time being, but it definitely looks cheap and looks like a toy with this on.
I was hoping for a more tinted plastic with a dark tinted plastic for the back, as the original images would have you believe.
I can say, for the most part, the new photos are very representative of the final product.
Aside from the looks, it feels pretty secure. the case has a bit of give on the left and right sides of the phone, making it feel squishy. The back part that is frosted isn't very grippy, it's more of a paper-like feel, like they just sanded down the clear material. there's no logos to be seen on the case at all, which i'm actually quite happy about. I figured the i-blason logo was going to be on the back, as some of the images had shown. The clear portions aren't super grippy, but there's a bit more than the bare Nexus 4 had. The buttons are harder to press than they are bare.Kinda hard to get used to the pressure needed. It's not a ton, but more than I'm used to.
There's a notch at the top of the front, for the receiver, which was a nice touch, to keep it fully open. The ridge around the front of the phone covers the chrome completely and comes in on the curved glass almost all the way. the height from screen-plane to top of the ridge is probably no more than 1mm, if that. It's the same thickness as a credit card, if that gives anyone a good indicator.
Overall, I'm alright with the purchase. I wasn't expecting a top quality case, just something to make me feel a bit more secure with it until the right case arrives. I didn't like the common s-curve case, so I got this one. sorta wished I had gotten the dark grey s-curve instead, to have the darker look I wanted.
Hope this helps anyone else out there.

Just got mine, I ordered the black, but amazon sent me the Frost Clear along with the Black, so I got 2 cases for the price of one lol....I can tell you the black looks nice, much nicer then the clear I think, I had a clear one on my S3 and no matter what clear TPU starts to turn yellow over time. Will post some pics in a few of the black. The case looks alot like Diztronic it has a matte black finish on the back and gloss bezel, it covers the curved edge of the glass, which for me is a nice touch since most screen protectors that arent wet apply won't be covering that part of the phone...one thing is the bottom and top edge, since the bezel is covered up my screen protector i had to cut since it was pushing it up other than that great buy for 10 bucks..also the cutouts are perfectly aligned....no complaints fits securely in the case much like a Diztronic case.
And a few more pics
Well I got my covers and id post pictures but they'd just be redundant. Not much to see

Any way to polish up the back to make it more grippy? Seems silly to have a case be just as slippery as the phone

Really havent tried the clear one but the black one is grippy enough where its not super slippery like the phone itself. the back feels the same as the matte finishes on my diztronic cases.
Just received my frost clear one in the mail. Honestly wasn't expecting too much out of it, so I'm pretty content with the product. Sorry I don't have another camera on me to take pictures of it with it on the phone, but the updated pictures on their Amazon page comes pretty close. It is clear around with the back having that "frost" look, so you can see the Nexus and LG logo pretty clearly. I would've liked it if the whole case all around was that translucent frost, but IMO it's not too bad. I also wish the cut outs were more precise, especially for the rear speaker. It's just this big cut out as if they just guesstimated it... this is one thing that looks better and more precisely done in the Amazon photos than IRL. But overall it's alright. Only using it so I don't have to be concerned with damaging my phone until I get a nicer case when they start coming out.

not a fan of that color, but the design is really nice, i wonder how durable the case & stand are
Yes, I don't like the color but pretty cool design. I wish they had the same in black
The kickstand thread had the link to an ebay seller which had this and two other colors, neon friggin green and some other out there color lol. No basic black at all from the ebay seller anyways. The seller sold it for like 30usd IIRC. Too expensive for one of these types of cases IMO but for 12 bux I may get one. lol
EDIT: Got the green one and also a 'white' cover. Pretty cheap too! Will post pics and also mini first impressions when received. Most likely within a week or two.
thanks you OP. FINALLY something to contemplate. much appreciated.

Nillkin kickstand case
Just got this in today and slapped it on and took a few pics. The case is like the barely there cases with a slide out kickstand built in. The build is good for 10 bux and the green is ok. It's almost android green so it works for me LOL....
Putting on the case was like putting on the barely there case. Taking it off is the same. Now using the kickstand....well....it's a hit or miss. You can't really use it in portrait, and I am not sure it's supposed to be used that way. That's because the bottom is exposed so the curve of the phone makes it rock back and forth slightly. Now the beauty of this is the portrait mode. This works the best and most stable.
As for flipping the kickstand out, you just take the bottom part and pull straight out. And that's the easy peasy part. Just pull until you past the notch to 'lock' it in place. However, for me, to put away and fold up the kickstand is a bit of a pain. There should be some sort of press release to push the tab that initially locked the kickstand down so that the stand can fold back easy. I just press the track down and push the kickstand to fold. It's scary to do but is the best way I found to fold.
Edit: also note that this case came with a screen protector as well, but I have the HTC one on so now I have a spare if needed.
UPDATE 8/25/11: One thing I found on the Nillken case is that if you use your OEM charger which is pretty bubbly at the connection to the phone; the cable does not seat very well. However, I am using craigsdocks.com's dock and that aftermarket charger cable has no 'bubble' at the end so that seats into the case rather easily with a little filing down at the opening. Just a fyi for all who are looking at this case.
Anyway, here are the pics...

That case actually looks really nice. I'm unexpectedly a fan of the green. Might have to shell out a few bucks to get one of these (even though I just ordered the Case-Mate Tough Case).
Great pictures, kpjimmy!
That's a nice case, I like it. I thought that the green was going to be much brighter but it's a really nice color actually, I might order one just to have one around
Thanks for the review and the pictures, man.
My wife has a case just like this for her myTouch 4G except it's clear. Fits really snug to her phone and I like how it hardly adds much bulk at all.
She actually got hers directly from the tmobile store though.
--- Correction... it's actually the myTouch 4G Body Glove Protector. Looks the same though even down to the kick stand. It just has rubber sides for gripping. Take a look for yourself. http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/AddOns...4253-85e0-1bf1e4506a5e&inCart=True&catCode=-1
You notice they hardly released any cases for the sensation.

Wow, that green does look pretty good, haha.
Here's an update: The 'correct' way to unfold the kickstand as per nillkin's site. This didn't come in with the instructions so I am glad I did it right! lol

cool...nice pick
8/26/11 Update
Just to let you all know that the plug cut outs are a bit off. The volume rocker I do not care too much with, but the rocker is close to the case and not centered. But that could be just so you wouldn't accidentally hit it.
However the plug port is in fact a nuisance. I had to take out an sharp knife (exacto knife is preferred) with a small slim blade and slice away at it like cheese lol. Then filed/sanded the area a bit to smooth it out and now all my usb cords plug in fine oem or not.
Off topic a bit
Along with the kickstand case, I also got a tpu like case. Here it is listed in the market if anyone wants it for cheap.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17011817#post17011817
I purchased one of these but doubt I'll get any more.
Inside the package is a diagram of how to open the kick stand and still it was hard to pull out. Then putting it back I accidentally put a crease in the stand. It's just too hard to move in and out without damaging it. I also don't like that the case does not cover the top or bottom at all. If it had a squared off bottom it could be used for portrait mode. But the way it has nothing on the bottom, the slightest touch causes it to tip when in portrait mode. I don't even know why they show the device in portrait in their advertisements.
It's a very nice concept, but it still needs a little work to be really good.
Also, they include a lent free cloth in the package, in addition to that screen protector .
They do give you a lot for the price though.
I think it would be perfect if they used their TPU case for the body covering. (With a flat bottom for portrait.) And a kick stand that was also TPU or didn't snap so rigidly into place. So it would be a little easier to open and close the kick stand.
As for the colors, I got a golden one. It actually looks like a blend of brown and gold. The case is not as BRIGHT as the pictures. They are not as obnoxious in the actual color when you actually have one. The advertising seems to put a bright spot light on them, to make them appear brighter than they actually are.

I tend to agree with you on this. As for the track, I have to litterally take the case off and retract the stand. Otherwise you would likely break something lol.
For the price, not too shabby. Build quality the case 4 stars, kickstand concept 4 stars, however, using it is way to difficult= 2 stars. Overall rating for me is a good 3 stars.

I just got mine and to correct the problem with the retraction while the phone is inserted, I pulled the kickstand back a little more (not much) to shave the angle piece down a little (the ridge portion) into more of a triangular shape. Now it retracts while the phone is inserted on still locks into place when pulled out.
Hi around there,
are you using bags and/or case?
Which one? Happy with it or not?

Very good quality - leather - very good price...
I'm using the original HTC case for this phone. I got it from eBay, for about 15 Euro. It fits the phone perfectly, as expected. It's scratch-resistant and it looks just dandy. My only grief with it is that the upper front "lip" (the case has sort of a lip close to the power button and headphones jack, maybe to grip the phone a little better) had to be filed off a little, because every time i would slide the phone into the case, the lip would lift my screen protector (it was an easy 10 minute fix).
Had case but not using it anymore. It made Gsm and WiFi signal weak. Now, without case all OK.

Got one free, similar to the OP's but red. Planning on getting the Zagg full body invisible shield for it, should be good at least from the reviews.

Funny that same thing happens with my other device - Note2. And on that I am using genuine Samsung hard shell case.
I got this case from Ebay and it fits like a glove. It's also available in several colors. It's def one of the best fitting cases I've ever had for a phone. :good:

Sorry to reawaken a dead thread, but are you still using this case? Does the white back cover show through around the camera, or does the silicon part cover right up to the black camera cover? Considering either your one or a similar one by the same manufacturer (can't post links apparently, but the eBay item ID is 190846814472).

No problem at all. Hopefully I can help ya out.
I've moved on to the S3 so I no longer have any of these cases. The white, back cover of the SV does show through a little but not much.
Check this link out. It has the case available in 8 color combos. I ended up buying the black rubber w/ red plastic and the one with yellow rubber w/ black plastic. What's so cool about buying a couple is it allows you to mix up the cases and get more options. I had 2 cases and ended up with 4 combos. lol :good:

This case is by far one of the absolute best fitting cases I have ever had and it is very well made. The kickstand comes in very handy too.. This is saying a lot because out of all the phones I've owned, I've probably bought 30 cases. For the price, you can't beat it!!
The white showing through the camera opening is minimal. I shared this case with many of my buddies over in the Android Forums, Boost HTC One SV section and many of them ended up buying it. Every single one of them loved it and not a one said anything about the camera opening. :good:

No problem at all. Hopefully I can help ya out.
I've moved on to the S3 so I no longer have any of these cases. The white, back cover of the SV does show through a little but not much.
Check this link out. It has the case available in 8 color combos. I ended up buying the black rubber w/ red plastic and the one with yellow rubber w/ black plastic.

Thanks for that! Went for red plastic on black silicone. Should get it tomorrow! I might try out the "shellster" case Amster do, seeing as it protects the screen, but it seems bulky...

Aye, this is pretty neat. There's maybe about a 3mm gap around the camera where the white shows, but it actually looks surprisingly nice with the white highlights. The kickstand is extremely tight (had to pop it out with a wee metal ruler) but I'd rather that than have it falling out all the time when I'm not using it!

It fits like a glove too doesn't it? For the money, it's a very nice case. You can get 1 more case and end up with 4 different color combos. As I mentioned earlier, I bought the red plastic w/ blsck rubber and the black plastic w/ yellow rubber. I used the black on black combo quit a bit. I liked the yellow rubber w/ red plastic too. It was something different that stood out. Easy to spot too! LOL!!!!
I'm glad you like it. My kickstands fit tight too as you mentioned. I'm like you. I would rather have them fit tight than have them flopping open all the time.
I recommend going with Tech Armor screen protectors also. The company has an installation video that if followed correctly, will eliminate bubbles. They have a lifetime warranty too. I went with the HD clear protectors and they look great inside. They're a little difficult to see in the California sunshine though. I talked w/ a buddy of mine who bought the Tech Armor matte protectors. I just sent him one of mine today and he is sending me one of his. I know the matte will not look as good as far as screen clarity but it will probably help cut down on the glare when outside. Seeing as I'm outside a good bit, if the matte is easier to see I'll probably end up ordering a 3 pack of them.
Tech Armor makes a great product and they are well worth the $6 or $7 price tag for a 3 pack. :good:

Hello all,
I have just received a Cruzerlite 'Experience' case for review. Firstly, I'd like to thank XDA for this great website and to all the members on this forum, I've learned a lot and appreciate all the info found here on how to take full advantage of my Galaxy S4. I find it incredible the vast amount of knowledge on XDA and the willingness of others to share. Thanks to 'opasha' for announcing the need for Beta Testers. Cruzerlite contacted me via PM on July 6th and after emailing them my contact info, one of their products arrived in the mail on July 18. Please note that I am NOT being compensated financially for this review and that the opinion stated in this post is my own. As stated in 'opasha' original post, this is a product Beta Test. The final product you receive may or may not be exactly like the one in this review. I recommend contacting Cruzerlite ( http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/samsung/galaxy-s-iv ) directly for any questions regarding specs, availability, color options, or additional information.

Came in the mail in a bubble pack. The case is enclosed in a clear plastic box, it's rigid enough so it doesn't get crushed in the bubble pack while being mailed:
The Case that I requested was for a bright color and they sent orange. Some of you may be picky like I am, the shade of the color is very important to me, here it is next to my S4 for comparison:
Since this is the 'Experience' case, it has graphics of various android themes. IMO it's fun and matches well with the bright orange. The back is frosted but the android graphics itself are clear:
Looking at the lateral edges you can see that it is also clear:
With the case on my Black Mist colored S4 it darkens the shade of orange a bit, to my eyes kinda like a light rust or light root beer color.
One thing to note from this angle is the quality of construction. On inferior/cheap ebay cases, there is a noticeable amount of excess material (flash) and at times there can be a edge or 'lip' formed at the seam of the where the front meets the back. If this occurs in a case it is quite an annoyance. On my current tpu case (a generic one I got off ebay, as I like yellow it was the only place to find that specific color) the lip is quite sharp.
On the Cruzerlite 'Experience' it did not exhibit any excessive 'flash' materials and the 'lip' was minimal. IMO, this is reflective of higher quality control and manufacturing standards that you may not find in a cheaper product.
Let's take a look at the dimensions of the Cruzerlite case. I measured my S4 as is and it came in at approximately .333 inches in thickness
With the 'Experience' case on it measured approximately .388 inches so the Cruzerlit TPU case adds a scant .05 to the overall thickness.
Next area to examine are the cutouts. Here we have the camera and flash. The cuts lined up correctly and is slightly raised around the camera. It's a dual hole design which I prefer. Other brands do a single cut for both camera and flash which IMO is less protective. Also the case adds some height to the phone so if you lay your S4 on a flat surface, it doesn't come into direct contact with the camera lens.
Areas around the ports are important to inspect, if it is cut too high or not thick enough in certain areas, it will affect the structural integrity of the case and can cause bowing making the case act or look flimsy. On my ebay case it bows around the front side where the volume and power ports so visually it looks bad. The Cruzerlite tpu IMO struck a good balance in it's construction, is not too soft (like a silicon case) but not overly hard (like a hard plastic). It's flexible enough to retain it's shape but soft enough to get it on and off easily while still being secure. Texture wise, the back is smooth to slide in and out of pants pockets with the lateral sides having enough tact for grip and not being overly slippery.
Moving down to the bottom of the phone the cut out for the charging port is slightly offset to the left. While it is not centered correctly it allowed plenty of space for the OEM micro usb cable and my aftermarket ones.
The microphone area is also off center. I was concerned with it blocking sound quality so I places several calls to see if it was affected. Fortunately it did not interfere with sound transmission nor did it affect volume.
The power button is exposed, which is a design I prefer. Other cases have it covered making it a tad more difficult to press.
On the volume button side, it's open just like the power button.
At the top of the phone the cut out for the 3.5mm headset jack and microphone are aligned. I use either a Monster iSport or Etymotic earbuds and the ports are wide enough to fit without any problems.
The ir port is also centered correctly allowing full function:
Going to the back side of the case, the speaker port is not centered but the cutout was wide enough for it to fully work.
Overall I am happy with the case. It's construction and quality is better than other tpu cases I have tried and comes in at a reasonable price (as listed on their site it's only $9.90). I've had it for 2 days now and it will be replacing the current one that I am using. Any changes on my impressions will be added to this post. I plan to use it for another 2-3 weeks and as I like it very much will purchase one from Cruzerlite ( http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/samsung/galaxy-s-iv ), only hard part is deciding on what color!
Thanks again for the opportunity to review the case. I'd like to pay it forward and send this case out in a few weeks for review to another XDA'er. If you are genuinely interested in a orange case by Cruzerlite, reply to this post with either positive comments or constructive criticism. You must reside in the U.S. and actually own a S4 AND willing to post a unbaised review here on XDA within a week of receiving the case from me. Thanks for taking the time to read this review and hope that it helps. HAGWE everyone!
Great review! Very indepth. I am impressed with your ability tobreak down the pros and cons of the case to a scientific level

Superb review and pics very well done ty
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
So after getting an email from cruzerlite this morning I decided to check my mail. This is a review for the cyan/light blue Experience case from Cruzerlite.
Just as the previous reviewer mentioned the cutouts seemed to not be exact or correctly aligned on initial application to the phone. With some slight pull of the tpu and correct alignment I was able to get the case to properly adjust with near perfect alignment.
As for the design, it looks very good with the phone in the case. The images on the back of the tpu are on point , transparent and unique from your average tpu cases. At first I was debating on the color thinking it might be too light or not too "manly" of a color for me. Im glad I chose this color, it's more than I expected. The color is great, it has more of an aqua color appearance in person.
The IR sensor and noise canceling mic is centered and does not affect the sound quality performance. As for the headphone cutout it is wide allowing headphones (straight or L shaped) to fit properly.
The charge port cutout is wide allowing OEM to third party cables to be used with this case.
I do have a screen protector (cheap one) on my phone. The case does Not affect my screen protector. Meaning it does not raise any edges or cause any type of push to the screen protector.
The lip of the case greatly protects the screen from getting scratched while laying the phone screen down on a table or any flat surface; while at the same time adds a completely new appearance and feel for the user.
As you can see from the image below the case is just about a hair thinner compared to the platinum series case or "seido" case.
Overall I think the case is of premium quality. It seems very durable and will protect your phone from getting scuffed on the edges from accidental drops. This case exceeded my expectations thinking it would be just like the average tpu cases I have used on my past devices. I recommend this case to anyone looking into purchasing a tpu case. For the price listed on amazon I think its worth the purchase.
Edit: The camera is horrible with flash. I constantly get a blue tint on all pictures now. Only with the case on of course. Have moved back to previous case because of this.
Thanks to Cruzerlite and XDA for the opportunity of reviewing this case.
Thanks, hope this review helps someone who is considering a Cruzerlite and purchasing this case.
Appreciate you looking, IMO it's a well made case and comes in a variety of colors and styles.
Thanks for your indepth review j510, your case looks like it fits perfectly.

Received my green case yesterday, after a day of use around the job site I am gratefully impressed with the case. I'll try to get some pictures up tomorrow I'm not usually to much for tpu cases but CruzerLite has done it with this one. The textured back makes it not slippery, I've also taken the case on and off a bunch of times trying to see if it's going to stretch out and or wear to the point it doesn't fit properly. To my amazement I still fits perfectly, I've actually like it so much I want to pick up a couple more colors. The one and only thing that I don't personally care for that much is the icon pattern on the back but the good definitely out weighs the bad, I've also had a few people say they like the green case on black S4. If you are debating the case all i can say is don't great case and doesn't add much bulk. :good:

Green Galaxy S4 case Pics
Here you go.... bare with me used my wife's Epic 4g Touch to take the pictures.
I got the white Open Experience case today. I want to thank Cruzerlite for sending this case! My first impressions: the case feels very nice in the hand [better than anything I've bought off eBay for the same price this case goes for]. The cutouts are very precise (only thing is the speaker beside the USB port is slightly off but I am sure it will get fixed but no big deal as it doesn't cover it fully). There is a plus! I'm using a Spigen glass.tR slim and the case fits perfectly without chipping it off. Protection is minimal, the same you can expect with any cases in this category, however it does add a slight lip raising the phone's screen (even with my glass screen protector). The case is quite stylish it makes the phone stand out. I received the white one and dang the thing looks good with my black S4 (good contrast). Buttons are easy to press. Overall quality!
Sorry for the picture quality, they are taken with a Blackberry Curve
Might have been just a slight defect with yours or maybe the white one, my green one is spot on. By the way that white does look nice, thanks again Cruzlite

Hello,
I didn't see this case mentioned and considering the LOW supply of actual quality cases I decided to start this thread in case I wasn't the only one who didn't know about it lol. Looking through the pics what I like the most is that it allows you to touch/use the actual buttons and the center dimple and camera have their own circle rather than an oval like in other cases (hate that oval design). I just ordered mine today and will post pics once it arrives but in the meantime check out the link below. I got it for $16 shipped from amazon.

2014-12-15 updated with review:
I didnt even use the case for more than a day and went back to the tudia case. I really wanted to love the SATIN case but the edges make the case feel cheap. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the back of the case for the brushed aluminum pattern on it and the dual circles, but the cheap feel is a deal breaker. The sharp edges that they put in place for grip really just make it feel cheap in the hand. Also the risk of the honeycomb actually damaging the back cover of the phone is a concern for prolonged use. After a day there was a honeycomb pattern on the back cover but with a damp towel it came off. I might use it on occasion, but by no means will it be my 24/7 case.
pros:
-Love the dual circle opening for camera and M logo rather than oval
-brushed aluminum pattern on back of cover looks great
-has openings to touch actual power and volume buttons
-sharp edges on sides for grip
cons
-adds SLIGHT bulk to the phone compared to a thin case like the tudia
-the sharp edges for grip make it feel cheap (maybe if it was made of something other than TPU it would be ok)
-openings for power and volume button SLIGHTLY restrict access to buttons (smaller fingers wont have this issue) and compared to the extra firmness of the tudia cases sealed buttons, I say both cases are comparable for ease of button pressing
-honey comb pattern inside the case CAN POTENTIALLY damage the phones back cover

Added the link to the OP just now. I didn't even receive the shipped notice yet but it said I think monday-thurs of next week it should arrive. Hoping it actually comes friday or saturday though.
I purchased this case from eBAy a couple of months ago. I like it, I switch between this case and the Hula bumper.
Thanks for the pics but you said a few months ago? Lol man I have been checking for new cases a few times since I got the phone and never saw this case. Think the biggest problem is perhaps finding cases due to the official name being the same as last years.
Think motorola needs to make an official name sequence or something like htc did with the HTC one m7 and m8. I think making the model year part of the name would be cool; like cars and most other things with wheels.

Yeah I was searching on eBay for cases and came across the listing. I was nervous that it was going to be for the 2013 model but the description said 2nd generation so I gave it a try. It's really hard to find cases for the phone, one thing I look at in the pics are to see which wallpaper they show in the phone. Sometimes that helps to distinguish the different models. Try searching with 2014 and/or 2nd generation in your searches.
Motorola definitely should update the naming convention on these phones.
The funny part is that some case makers are too lazy to update their wallpaper image. My tudia case arrived with a cardboard of the gen1 wallpaper and initially thought they sent the wrong one until I opened it. Also body glove on the moto x shows the gen 1 for the moto x but only has a case for the gen2 which is funny and maybe why I didn't notice this one sooner since I literally went on their site a few weeks ago.
Yeah the naming needs to be easier to tell which model year. Oh well. Love the phone lol
It doesn't look too shabby but historically, body glove's cases haven't been the best quality. Will wait to hear impressions before I decide if I want to order it or not.

Well it came in earlier than expected (woo hoo!) and I updated the OP to include some pics.
I like the look of the case, it seems to add some bulk compared to the Tudia case I have though. It seems and feels thicker I think due to the flatter lines (back is still curved) but both cases on the table visually cant be more than 0.5mm difference. I have mixed feelings about it, I wish the case was thinner honestly but I do like it. Really need to use it a day or two so I can form an opinion on it. There are "sharp" edges which really help the phone feel secure in the hand. The shock factor would be no greater than any other TPU case. Overall fit of it against the moto x is solid though. The power and volume buttons are I would say for a normal adult moderate/easy to press due to the size of the openings. The Tudia requires extra force to overcome the case materials flex and the body glove one your physically pressing the button but the opening can be a bit of a restriction for some (and I dont have sausage fingers either lol).
I would say the one flaw I saw is the molding is a bit off on one of the mics which is seen in one pic. The hole is technically in the right spot and honestly its probably fine but its like there is some molding that needs to be cut a bit which I will do to my sample.
Overall Im looking forward to using this case for the next few days and see how it goes. Cosmetics wise I think it beats the Tudia hands down, lets see how it goes functionally.
of what material is the honeycomb pattern inside made. I ask because of a picture posted by one Amazon reviewer.
I don't have a leather back, but do you think it would be pressing too hard on a soft touch back. ?
Wow thats bad but with leather I could have seen that coming. Yesterday I saw a honeycomb on my soft touch back but looked like some oils from the case since it wiped off. After a full day today I will update.
Worst case it will give me a good excuse to mod my back. I have been googling carbon fiber material to make my own back but havent had the courage to do it just yet lol

Ok so after a day of use with the base soft touch moto x I could see a pattern on the back cover but when wiped with a towel it came right off. It didnt feel like it made an impression but the honeycomb was visible until I wiped it with a damp towel.
Overall I didnt even use the case today and went back to the tudia case. I really wanted to love the SATIN case but the edges make the case feel cheap. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the back of the case for the brushed aluminum pattern on it, but the sides are a deal breaker. The sharp edges that they put in place for grip really just make it feel cheap in the hand. Also the risk of the honeycomb actually damaging the back cover is the deal breaker from being my go to case. I might use it on occasion, but by no means will it be my 24/7 case.

Hey, folks–
I'm on the hunt for a super thin case for my Pixel XL. By super thin, I mean, like in the 0.35mm range like the Peel cases for the iPhone (or Pinlo).
I've been searching around and I think the thinnest I've found so far are the clear case by Google and Spigen's Liquid Crystal Google Pixel XL Case, which appear to be about 0.64 to 1.63 mm and 0.762 mm thick respectively (they don't provide the case thickness specifically, so these are estimates based on product dimensions minus the actual Pixel XL's dimensions divided by two).
These are still too thick for my taste though. I don't like the look of those thick jelly cases.
I ordered a Naked Wrap from SlickWraps on the 10th, but I have yet to even receive a confirmation of my order from them outside of the PayPal receipt and I haven't been happy historically with the clear skins, so I'm looking for an alternative.
Has anyone spotted or heard of a company that might be developing Peel-like cases for the Pixel?
Well said and I am with you. Waiting for either that or a calicase. I did buy the Google clear because it may be perfect.

Considering you have a similar aesthetic, it sounds like, I would be curious to hear your impressions of the Google clear case.
Thanks for mentioning the CaliCase too–another brand for me to keep my eye on, their Ultra Thin cases definitely fit the bill. Too bad they're relatively inactive on Social and don't really talk about what they have in the works.

NP, next week I get it and the black silicone factory G case too. I also ordered a BearMotion because it's $8 and frankly I never have anything but success with them. The sand finish is the best for grip and they are really very thin. Usually no lip coverage though but that's kind of where I want the case to end. Just something about being able to slide your thumb from edge to edge without touching case improves the experience dramatically IMHO.
Looks like Spigen updated the pics of the Liquid Crystal case. Picture says .4 MM thick.

Unless that image is horribly cached for me, it still says 0.4 inches thick and they're referring to the whole phone including the case, which is why I landed at 0.762 mm in my first post because the Pixel XL is listed as 0.34" thick at its thickest point, so (0.4-0.34)/2 = 0.03 inches which is 0.762 mm (even though the back is probably thicker than the front).
Still looks pretty thin for a jelly case, but I'm holding out hope for one that doesn't add even that much bulk.
Doh. For some reason my brain read .4 MM thick.

Also TPU just feels like I am holding a condom.

NP, next week I get it and the black silicone factory G case too. I also ordered a BearMotion because it's $8 and frankly I never have anything but success with them. The sand finish is the best for grip and they are really very thin. Usually no lip coverage though but that's kind of where I want the case to end. Just something about being able to slide your thumb from edge to edge without touching case improves the experience dramatically IMHO.

Where did you find the bearmotion case at? I can't seem to find it for the pixel or pixel xl.
Thanks

Would you guys be willing to post some pictures and your thoughts on that bear motion case. Looks promising. Wish there was a white color, but gray will probably work for the white version of the phone.

I will when I receive. A note, get a DARK color. They pick up oils quick. Got a powder blue for my OG Note 7 and wound up with a dirt covered faded case in a week. But alas, the dark ones feel awesome and are thin as ****.
The bear motion cases are awesome. Grabbed a black one and green one. Have the green on my Nexus 6p and love the contrast.
As far as thin cases go...hard to beat.

I'm happy that there's hope for us thin-lovers, but I'm still holding out for a semi-transparent one like the Peel cases so that I can see my phone through it–the frosted white / pretty-much transparent one that they call "silver" is calling my name. Part of my desire for such a thin case is to enjoy the natural industrial design of the phone but give it just a touch of protection. My Nexus 6P had begun to show a few of the drops on the corners recently and that's what I'm hoping to avoid.

I had one of those for my iPhone 6s+. They are great, would be nice if they made one for the XL
Insignia has a case that's kinda like the peel cases. I had one for the iPhone 6 plus and it was thin as hell and felt very nice. I hope they make it for the xl.
im on the same boat. I ordered another clear case for $8 bucks in the meantime until i am able to get somethign like this below:

That bearmotion looks slick though. might order that one. Too bad they dont have more pics. Goign to have to check it out for other devices.

Hey, folks–
I'm on the hunt for a super thin case for my Pixel XL. By super thin, I mean, like in the 0.35mm range like the Peel cases for the iPhone (or Pinlo).
I've been searching around and I think the thinnest I've found so far are the clear case by Google and Spigen's Liquid Crystal Google Pixel XL Case, which appear to be about 0.64 to 1.63 mm and 0.762 mm thick respectively (they don't provide the case thickness specifically, so these are estimates based on product dimensions minus the actual Pixel XL's dimensions divided by two).
These are still too thick for my taste though. I don't like the look of those thick jelly cases.
I ordered a Naked Wrap from SlickWraps on the 10th, but I have yet to even receive a confirmation of my order from them outside of the PayPal receipt and I haven't been happy historically with the clear skins, so I'm looking for an alternative.
Has anyone spotted or heard of a company that might be developing Peel-like cases for the Pixel?
