Back cover ( NOT cases )

Are there any metal like ones around? Something a little bit on the gentle side for signal. I would assume such things would be all over the place since so many want to tout / whine about the plastic back. However, I can't really find one that doesn't claim to be aluminum.

i think hes talking about a metal battery cover...
and i doubt that this will become a thing, btw. the reason it's removable is because it's plastic.

I linked metal battery door cover. From eBay description:
Package Included:1* Aluminium Metal Brushed Battery Door Back Cover Case Samsung Galaxy S4 IV I9500

I'm a fan of using skins instead of cases. I usually order from SkinIt.com
However, they don't seem to have anything for the S4... YET.

bodyguardz, skinomi, and armor shield have some up on amazon if you wanna get skins.

I live by skinomi. I've bought at least 7 skins from them. Here's my Relay, but I have the same on my 3ds, nexus 7 and S4

Beware of this kickstand case

Junk. LMAO. They designed the kickstand on this case in the wrong position.
No matter which kickstand slot you select, the dang phone just falls over.
Doesn't work in landscape OR portrait. So the kickstand is useless.
It's not a defective case, it's a bad design.

i bought this one and its been doing fine--->http://www.amazon.com/Moto-Pure-Cas...=1447938555&sr=1-11&keywords=moto+x+pure+case ... i just wish the kickstand was on the opposite side so you can control volume while watching. besides that no issues.

Also avoid the Amazon clone of the same http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Edition-CoverON%C2%AE-Trekker-Silicone/dp/B017HV4Q6S/ref=pd_bxgy_107_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1CC1Z1SWG61RD6R3MNCX

i-blason on amazon is the one that I have found everyone is cloning. I had a clone one that had kickstand on wrong side and was flimsy. Got the i-blason one and all is well. Sorry can't pull link here at work, but you can find on amazon. Looks similar but is great quality

WTF, these people on Amazon are giving the case 4 or 5 stars while simultaneously acknowledging the kickstand doesn't work. lmao

There is a huge ring of false reviewers on amazon for phone accessories, health supplements, and other assorted bull****. Just look at any phone accessory, search for the reviews from people who "received" the product at a discounted price and look at their review history. I found one person who had reviewed 100 products for 6 different high end phones in two weeks using the same format on every single review. I discovered this after about 5 minutes of work so it's safe to say Amazon doesn't really care about it.

+1 on the i-blason. It works great and is a quality build.

The iblason only has landscape kickstand though. Too bad. I prefer portrait.

Note 7 Orzly Accessories on Offer (£$2.99)

Hi all,
I've been looking around for cases for my Note 7 and noticed the Orzly cases are all on sale currently through Amazon. I've ordered all 4, considering the price and have received the FlexiCase already!
Made a quick YouTube preview of the case here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE9EOfD8ez4
Here are the Amazon links to the cases if anyone's interested in taking a look:
- Wallet Case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JM5RMMW
- FlexiCase: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IVU0CJ4
- GripPro: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JM5T5RW/
- Fusion Bumper: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JMMC996/
I've purchased them all on the UK Amazon store (due to living in the UK) and they're £2.99 here and $2.99 in the states!
Thought you'd all like to know!
- Jono

Thanks, picked up the Flexicase.

No worries!

Thank you, picked up two of them!

I already have something similar to the flexicase, but for $2.99 I figured i'd try a wallet case. i've wanted to try one but never wanted to pay much for one.

Picked up 2 thanks

Wow what a great deal! Definitely worth it!

Thanks, I just purchased the bumper and wallet. Can't go wrong with 2 cases for $6.

I'm confused by this post!

Look's like they've all gone OOS for now!

supple leather back only

I am looking for a good steer. One that doesn't mind being killed, skinned, tanned and slapped in the most minimal way on the back of my Pixel Xl.
Anyone know such a cow?

But seriously, I am not sure of any leather cases that are not of the wallet type. This one is simply a pouch...

Shame right. I love leather covers with no front. Such a rare happening in phones these days.
Also got that Maxboost clear case and MEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH. Thick rear and I hate that. I don't want protection, just grip.

I'm surprised Google didn't come up with one to be honest. Even the iPhone had a nice leather case from Apple. It survived many concrete falls when getting out of my car.

Would be nice if these guys made stuff for the Pixel:

@slickwraps has a couple of the leather-like backs. Personally I'm hoping for the ostrich or football pig leather types ie https://www.slickwraps.com/natural-series-wraps-skins-for-nexus-6.html

I wish SENA would make a couple cases for us

Apparently they are not producing the Natural series for the Pixels.

Awe, thats a shame, @slickwraps naturals were fantastic on my Moto Nexus 6..

Yeah I'd love a minimal leather case, a la GS7E. I haven't really seen anybody who makes decent comparable cases.

Accessories Carbon case

Finally came the carbon (aramid) fiber case for the xiaomi 12. This looks to be made by the same manufacturer as the Oneplus one's.
Build quality and fit are top notch, same as my old OP 6 case.
Don't know if links are allowed, but bought it at aliexpress.

Nice case indeed. Looks like a little bit more special than my standard black cases. What did you pay for it?

I’m curious if it block the access of SIM card?

I paid 23€ for it delivered. Yeah they were normal black ones, but having had the same in the OP6 I wanted a little change hahahaha. Both look awesome imo.

Yeah, unfortunatelly. But being a dual sim, I don't find myself changing the sim cards regularly.
Thankfully it's pretty easy to remove and clip on. Also it protects the full body, unlike the OP ones, so that's a big plus for me. All the holes cut to perfection
Another big plus it's that it wont interfere with any screen protector, as it clips just to the frame. Now I'm looking for a good screen protector that covers all the glass. If anybody knows one, please let me know, I'll be very grateful.

I also ordered the cover, I'm still waiting. Please, is it magnetic? THX

Thanks for the hint.
Loved that case style also on my OP 6T.
Ordered one from aliexpress.

It's pure aramid fiber, so not likely.
