This is a case I got from eBay, its a Hard Hybrid Case. Brand is Mybat which is a probably a generic case maker from China .
Where to get it:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360559673384&refid=store
If you want to see the other cases they have, check here:
http://www.auctiva.com/stores/viewstore2.aspx?id=1621556&page=home&search=nexus 4
This one in particular is called: LG Nexus 4 E960 Hard Hybrid Case Black/ Black Cover Frosted Fusion Mb
I give it about:
8.5/10 -- Material - Surprisingly feels good, kinda like the Diztronic
9.0/10 -- Grip - Doesn't slide off, not bigger than the Official bumper so for you can still touch the other side of the screen with no effort.
7.5/10 -- Ease for button - There is a slight bit more spacing for the buttons and might make a slight clicking sound when pressed.
8.0/10 -- Snug fit/Hole openings - The cut outs are alright, if you don't push it in all the way it may have a slight gap.
8.0/10 -- Style/Look
7.0/10 -- Protection - The hard part of the case doesn't cover the edges but should be able to absorb some shock.
Pros: Adds decent protection, not for 500ft drops though.
Cons: The back material does attract oily hands and the top side as well as the bottom side of the soft part also attracts dust, not a biggy for me, also the top and bottom lips have that rubber band feeling but it doesnt look like its flimsy unless you pull on it.
Price/Value 8/10 - Reason why is, its a nice case and it will offer good protection for the phone, I just see it as a good case for maybe $5.95ish> range and not $10. They do have the other Hybrid Hard case with a kick stand and holster that looked pretty decent.
Overall I like it better than the S-line tpu that I got on day one lol and I feel it has more protection and I actually worry about it less than when I had the s-line (could be a bad thing?). I had the original bumper but I couldn't get use to the extra width, so for a no-name brand.. its not bad at all. They also have a lot of other designs that just came out.
Shipping was free but I ordered on a Sunday, came on a Saturday from CA to FL so yeah.. expedited shipping my ass! lol :silly:
TL;DR: good hybrid case, nothing too fancy :laugh:

i ordered the same case last week. How does the back plastic feel, is it slippery? is it a tight fit on the sides and top?

The back feels nice (kinda like diztronic or the non glossy part of the s-line tpu) and I can get a firm grip without it slipping. Since the inner is the soft rubbery part it fits nicely but if you're someone who pulls the phone out of your pocket by the tip and not the screen or sides then you might pull on it too hard.
I've only used it for one full day and it feels pretty solid :good:
thanks for the review !
this case seems the most otterbox-esque from what I've seen so far

yeah, there are a few cases out/coming out that are a bit more rugged but this one seems to be good in style as its all black (color preference) and smooth, the double layering also provides good enough protection for regular everyday use. :good:
Nice case, but I don't think it's worth that price.
Yep agree with you. I said in the review that I would probably pay $6 at most not $10 lol too many cases that are pieces of plastic and charging a bit. I'm waiting for the other ringke but if user reviews suck I'll prolly stick to this one a little longer.

Are you still using it?
How are the buttons?
Between this and the diztronic what would you choose?
With shipping to Portugal this is about 23 dollars and the diztronic 18 dollars
Looks like a solid case. Thanks buddy
I bought this case a few weeks ago and have been using it since then and am pretty happy.
Pros:
Feels nice.
Decent drop protection.
Decent price when compared to similar cases.
Doesn't stick in my pocket like an otterbox would.
Cons:
Plastic seems to be stretching.
Doesn't fit 100%. My chrome on the top and bottom is starting to show.
The volume / power buttons seem a little off center.
Decent case for a decent price if you want a bit of protection.

Honestly I'm using the ringke fusion now but from time to time I'll swap. My bro uses the diztonic and says he likes it. The buttons on these are alright. They don't have the best design but they do offer decent protection.

I second the Otterbox Commuter, it's amazing how well built this case is. I thought Incase made the best cases, but Otterbox takes the lead now.
Incipio cases are really rough and feel unfinished. The Feather case I got for my Nexus One actually damaged it slightly cause it had sharp uneven edges, not to mention cracked twice without dropping it even once.

Oh I just posted this in another thread (but is better posted in here)....
Ok well I got this Incipio silicylic hybrid case today, and I'm not that impressed.
It looks nice, and does give the extra support for the silicone down each side of the screen I was looking for. But they've totally cocked up the bottom of the case...
There is no real protection between the trackball and the USB port. The hard plastic is totally cut away there to the back of the phone, leaving a flimsy flap of silicone horizontally between the ball and port. Also the plastic and silicon is cut away right out past the dock port pins, leaving the phone body exposed to a straight down drop on its arse end due to this gaping cutout.
The plastic shell also has very sharp edges at that massive gaping cutout at the bottom too, so it needs dremmeling right out of the box.
If only they'd run a strip of plastic along that edge between trackball and usb port and not just silicone, none of this would be an issue, and it would have been my perfect case. Grrrr.

Thanks for the review! Kindly provide us some photos?
Hey guys I'm looking for a really slim case that isn't raised too much along the edges of the screen or cover too much of the sides of the device. A couple I'm looking at is the Obliq case, spigen capsule, spigen slim armor, or maybe the official Samsung protective case.
I have a tech 21 case now and it's ok but it's a bit bulky around the edges and kind of hides the shape of the phone.
I had the Tech21 case and currently have the Speigen Capsule and Samsung cases. The Tech21 was WAY too thick and bulky, and the buttons were hard to press. The Capsule is very thin, but has sharp edges IMO. I found it really uncomfortable to hold without it feeling like my hand may get cut (it never happened, but still hurt).
The Samsung case is awesome though. Fits beautifully and looks like it's a part of the phone. It protects really well too and hardly adds any thickness. I'd highly recommend it. It's worth the money 105%.

Yes, try Amazon.
Look up verus iron shield champagne gold galaxy note 4 review by real reviews on YouTube thy have a link in the description probably the best thin case for the note 4 in the link the have different colors also
Ringke Slim case is the slimmest one IMO by far at the expense of drop protection. The black one has a nice matte finish while the other colors are more glossy which I don't like.
It adds the least bulk and gives a bit of protection - I've dropped my phone onto hardwood floors a couple times from 3-4 feet. The case slightly deformed but the phone was perfect. However I expect any drop onto a hard surface like concrete will break the screen.
Like the previous post stated, the Ringke slim is super thin. The SF black has good grip.
I would go with the Samsung Protective cover though. a little thicker but you are drop protected and the case feels better in hand.
Ringke Slim 9.99
Samsung Protective Cover:
12.00 (Blue)
14.00 (Black)
15.00 (Red)
Thank you guys for the ideas. I really like how slim the ringke is but it makes me a little nervous. I think I'm torn between the Samsung protective case and the verus. Both look super nice although the Samsung appears to be a bit slimmer
I have a Verus Thor on mine, and I think it's pretty amazing for its slimness to protection ratio. Camera's protected, there's enough of a lip in front to protect the screen (I've got a tempered glass protector anyway), and if there's a con, it's that it fits so tight and snug that you don't want to take it off too often; I ended up buying a new dock just so I don't have to. Well, that, and it's not highly textured or rubbery, so it feels a little smoother in the hand than I see a lot of people liking. Fell out twice at work a few days ago--once onto concrete, once onto steel car wash railings--and it still looks pristine. I highly recommend it.

If by "thick enough that the camera isnt exposed," you mean that when you rest the phone on a table, the camera lens isnt resting directly on the flat surface, then yes. There is a lip around the camera lens that will keep it from touching any flat surface.
i want it too

Well after reading the comments from you guys I decided to pull the trigger on the blue Samsung protective cover. Seems like it offers good protection and a very slim form factor. I'll post some pics once it comes in the mail
That Samsung one looks nice. There is a great review on it from a guy named lawmanfj on youtube. I'll probably grab that one down the road. I just purchased the S-View case, and I really like it. It is a flip case, but it doesn't add much bulk. Seems like the drop protection might not be the best, but since it replaces your back battery cover, it's stay's slim. It does run about $26 through Amazon. I picked one up at Best Buy for a few bucks more, but got to try it out before purchasing.
You should post some pics when your case comes in, and give a review of it.
Does anyone know if there is a case like the Samsung Protective Cover, but replaces the battery door to make it slimmer? Basically i would like to find something with some protection around the edges, and a lip for the screen, but without adding to the thickness of the phone.
Looking for recommendations for a case that provides good grip, slim, and drop protection. I know the speck case ma be good, but looking for other recommendations that are less expensive.
Thanks in advance!

I have the frost/black version of this one and love it: http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Release-Unicorn-Premium-Protective/dp/B015X90VGK?th=0
It "feels" like a tank against drop protection, esp. when factoring for how fairly slim it is....and it would say its fairly grippy. Not overly, bit certainly enough to not make it feel like you are gonna drop it imho. I like how it lets some of the beauty of the device (or at least the Nexus logo and back) show through, and price ain't bad, either. Just my 2 cents!

agreed
Speck Grip Candy Shell is as wide as the Supcase hybrid, the back of the Speck is flat, just marginally thicker, but it feels really grippy and more secure than the Supcase in my opinion, doesn't wobble when using it while on the table. Actually have both, and prefer the Speck in every way.
Is $40 worth for the Speck case? The way I see it, the case will last as long as you own the phone, and Speck is pretty sturdy build case. Also there are very frequent 30% off coupons you can get if you sign up with the Speck website email promos.
But in no means does it mean that the Supcase is bad, great reviews and excellent price. Preference here is subjective.

I love supcase. Had speck and locked it. But the supcase seems to have more corner protection. Than the speck. So I returned the speck to keep the supcase
Evolutive Rhino Crash Guard... The best of the best, available 1/10.
The case with the best grip is the Speck Candyshell; no other case can come close in terms of grip. The Speck is the best overall case and isn't too thick at all. The slightly larger size does take some getting used to, but it's easy once you use it for a day. The SupCase is another good option, but it lacks the same grip as the Speck. The SupCase and Speck will both hold up to drops, but the Speck has an inner TPU layer with an outer poly carbonate shell which will likely provide better drop protection. The SupCase has held up to some bad drops in my experience just as the Speck, so it comes down to which one you like better and the price. I bought my Speck for $20 during Googles sale which was a steal. The case is still worth $40, but I can see how some people would be skeptical of spending they much on a case.
Poetic Affinity slim.
How about a skin from toastmade? It provides a good protection without adding bulk to the device.

Had it on my previous phone (and currently have it on the 6p) and overall was very happy. I just wanted to offer my experience on a couple of things in that quote.
You mention discounts and that's very true. On my old phone, price was $35, but I bought it for $25. For my 6p, I bought it for $20 from the google store.
Second point is about how long the case will last. While it was fine for long time on my old phone, I did experience a couple problems towards the end of its life (and even earlier). It was the black one, and it picked up a lot of dirt and gunk around the little rubber grip bars on the back. By the end of it's life, a few of the grips had worn off on the back and part of the rubber surrounding the screen (the rim) had detached from the plastic and I had to superglue it back.

The supcase may be better at protection than speck, I don't know, I just wanted to share my experience that I had a speck on my old phone and dropped it on hard tile floor like 3 times from about waist height and neither the phone, nor case had a scratch. This happened at the beginning of the cases life and isn't related to the rubber bits coming off towards the end of the case's life that I described above.
Overall, I'm happy with my white speck case on my 6p, but i'm sort of bored of it and i'm in this thread looking for another case that is slim, offers proven protection, and ideally has a kickstand.

Me too, much better than I expected. I bought it as a cheap stop-gap until my 'rhino Crash Guard' gets here, but aside from a little yellowing (which I think all clear TPU's do), it's great.
I am surprised that nobody mentioned the Google Nexus case. I am very pleased with it, it's a snug fit, while the felt on the back give it nice texture and grip. As far as drop protection goes, I think it will be good enough for minor drops.
I'm having a hard time finding a quality case with a belt clip for this phone. I have bought and sent back 2 from Amazon so far. What is the best case?
No belt clip, but I just ordered this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/192142439659
Quite like the Spigens rugged armour case for moto g5s plus.
https://www.amazon.in/Spigen-Rugged-Armor-Case-Motorola/dp/B0731QBBYY
As much as I'd like to have a slim case, I want something that feels like it's going to do a excellent job. I tried the Tudia Merge case, and it's a very nice case, but there's so very little lip protecting the screen if the phone is dropped. If the phone was to land face down on gravel or an uneven, rough surface, I wasn't confident that the case would do the job.
I settled on this. It's not the most attractive case, it's a little bulky, but the inner cover is silicone and seems like it would do an excellent job protecting the phone if it were dropped. If you go with this one, just a suggestion, once you snap on the outer polycarbonate shell, be sure to pull outward on the flexible silicone layer, to make sure it gets fitted properly. I had problems with the volume up button sticking, until I discovered that pulling on each corner of the silicone made the problem disappear.

I have this case. While it offers pretty good protection, I'm not loving it. The TPU on the bottom and top of the case does not have any hard case to support it. So, if you grab the top or bottom of the phone, the TPU stretches quite a bit and feels quite loose. And the TPU on the bottom of the phone (no hard shell) interferes with sliding it in and out of my shirt or pants pocket since the TPU is "grabby". I'm still using it though until I find a more suitable case.

Yeah, the grippiness is annoying. I use a Turtleback holster most of the time, which makes it a lot easier to slip in and out. I've tried a few other cases, but none offered satisfactory protection for the screen, with only a millimeter or two of raised protection.
I'm hoping that UAG or Supcase comes out with an offering for the G5S Plus. They already have one for the G5 Plus, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I got this had a Tudia on my 6P and enjoy it

Spigen. It is great. Not only does it look pretty and holds well in his hand. The disadvantage is the price - 25 Euros.
So far, this is one of my favorite cases for any phone...Has that "Sandstone" feel to it, which is really grippy. Very thin also:

In Vietnam the phone comes with a free transparent case. So here's what I did with it:

Hi, I usually don't use cases as I don't see a point of buying a beautiful phone for a lot of money just to cover it with an ugly case. However Xperia 1 is so slippery that unfortunately I will have to buy a case or it won't last long.
Could you guys share the cases you use, preferably with some photos. I don't think there is a lot of choice at the moment as the device is relatively new, nevertheless new models coming out daily and won't hurt if we have a thread to showcase our purchases.
Personally I always buy the thinnest case possible. My previous device was pixel 2 xl and this was a case I had:
Fone-Stuff[emoji2400] Google Pixel 2 XL Case, Ultra-Thin 0.3mm Stylish Fully Protective Case Cover, Thinnest Hard Back Cover, Super Slim Matte Finish Extra Camera Protection, White https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0777QHGSV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_4YCiDbSQX2SDP
Very thin and I liked it very much. Unfortunately I can't find anything similar for the xperia 1, ordered this one:
Olixar - Clear Case Compatible with Sony Xperia 1 - Slim Gel - Ultra Thin Transparent Cover - 100% Crystal Clear - Flexible Slim Protection - Non Slip - Clear https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07M7DNG16/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_U0CiDbK7BXF7D
Unfortunately, despite claiming to be ultra thin it's actually a regular silicon case.
Looking forward to your recommendations.

Interesting post, I will not put a case in it since I have a good grip on it thank to its really narrowness, and it feels far less slippery than my previous mate 10 pro. But I'm interested to see what you guys choosed.
Problem with transparent case is they stay transparent for like 3 months then turn yellowish.
The sony case is just overpriced at 57€ and heavy (+60g).
I just hope the paint on the edge will last long. The back with gorilla glass 6 should resist well. But I hope edge paint is epoxy or strong like this.
I found out a lot of case for Xperia 1 are labeled for Xperia XZ4. It adds other options when you search for it.
I bought this.
https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B07RW7TM9Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It consists of a gel case and a glass film. It took two weeks to arrive, then I only use it occasionally, I prefer bare contact in the end, I threw the front glass because there are halos in the thin part of the front curve, unacceptable.
I bought this one few days ago:
SLEO Case for Sony Xperia 1 Case - Rubberized Hard PC Back Case Cover for Sony Xperia 1 - Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07KXJ2SQ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_qp5kDbNYE7JT4
Very happy with it. Very minimal, how I like it. Only downside is that it's almost as slippery as the phone itself.

Why not use the case included in the box?

The case is not included in all units, only for the J9110 units.
Bought this one few weeks ago:

Really slim and strong
Fits perfect
Just had this case delivered. Nillkin super frosted shield. Fantastic fit and finish. Feels great on the phone. Best case yet, far nicer feel than the TPU cases which in my opinion end up feeling greasy and dirty.

Don't generally buy cases anymore and haven't bought one for the Xperia 1 either however, I've used Nilkin cases in the past and they have always been of good quality and fit very well. That is the case I'd go for this time if i was going to get one.
Are there any good rugged cases out yet?

Check these out: (from a Japanese case maker, the total price including shipping to my country is still cheaper than the cheapest UAG case)

Picked up this slim case https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T34TPYB/ref=twister_B07W1VLKTW?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 in red
I don't like bulky cases. I got it because I wanted open access to the buttons so the half-press camera button will work just fine.
It is smooth and a bit slippery actually. No drop protection (what do you expect). Pretty good for the price. The other colors like gravel green will have more of a standstone finish though
The rasta banana case is great!

Another case I picked up on Amazon.
The Aeska clear TPU case
Pros:
- Grippy
- Cheap
- 3 colors (purple, black and clear)
- Easy to access the FP scanner (it's not deep)
Cons:
- You lose the camera shutter button feel. Hard to determine the half press
- Power button also a little more difficult to press now.
This basic hard clear PC case is my favorite.

Pros:
- Clear
- Slim, so no bulk!
- Open, easy accessible sides for buttons
- Cheap
Cons:
- Picks up grease/oils from your fingers
- Not very protective

I have just purchased it (zeroshock black) from Amazon Japan directly with international shipping, looks promising.
Got this case for my recently acquired X1:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MBMPQBN/
It's a little pricey for such a basic thin case, but I didn't want to use my phone without a case, and AliExpress would've taken a month to deliver.
Contrary to popular opinion, I actually like the exposed top/bottom of the phone, since the case doesn't wrap around the entire frame, it's not that bulky and I really like thin and minimal cases. No weird branding on the back like many other cases have.
I got it in 'Smooth Black', but I probably should've gotten 'Matte Black' which may have been less slippery than this.
Since it was a really nice case, I might get the blue or green one if I eventually get bored of this all black look.
i hate this case...caus it feels so weird in hand while the phone is not fully framed
i like to get this one from Black Rock i have for my S9 ultra sin
This is similar.
