39 RMB, though factoring in shipping you can expect to get it at around US$14.50

I am doing *not* an MO for this (unless there's really overwhelming demand). Just sharing something that made me pause and think about getting one.
If I buy one for myself, it will probably be this colour combination:
You can get all 9 colors from ebay as well

Oh cool, do you have the link? I tried searching ebay but can't find it.
wow.. Korean letters on right top don't even make sense at all..
they may have just thrown there to make it look like made in Korea or something...

Mercury is a Korean brand, and it is "产地:韩国,MADE IN KOREA". Of course, this being taobao, it could also end up being an imitation.

Found it searching "mercury e960" on eBay.
The blue & green is really cool ! The problem with this sort of case it's that changes the way to hold the phone, it's less comfortable.

I know right! I'm using a similar case for my tablet, and I take it out whenever I'm at home. For the Nexus 4 though, that could be a very dangerous thing to do... Then again, with the current case I'm using, the bulk makes it difficult to have a one-hand operation anyway.
Ordered this case on Monday from ebay, just waiting for it to arrive from Korea to Singapore. Ordered Lime green/Navy blue and Mint/Navy blue. Will post again once I receive it.
This case is pretty good. The tpu inside is a tight fit and the speaker, cut outs are ample and precise. The colours are pretty funky too. This is the mint/navy blue version. Just received it today

How do you like it? Do you think it's worth getting? I've been debating on getting the black/black one or the black/brown one...

Liking it so far. I think it's worth getting as it can protect the front screen although the power buttons are little tough to reach but it's possible to get used to. Using proximity screen off so that's not really an issue for me
Realize this thread is a little old but I just received mine today and am pleasantly surprised. I have tried a couple of flip cases for my Nexus 4 (Poetic, PDair) and have been disappointed. This one is nicely made, feels good, and has a nice magnetic clasp. I especially like the fact that, if you choose to put credit cards in it, the edges of the embedded TPU case prevent the cover from coming in contact with the screen.
It only failed one requirement I had for such a case... and that is easy removal. Since the back of the TPU case is covered with the hard wallet material, it makes it a bit tougher to get the Nexus out. But considering I have yet to be pleased with any of the other flip cases this is now no longer one of my requirements. A steal for under 10 bucks!

I'm located near Shenzhen China and have been to the stores, which are actually entire buildings, where they manufacture and sell these cases.
These cases are essentially replicas, but they definitely do a good job of copying the real mercury cases, down to the very minute details. Some stores have better replicas than others, for example these Fancy Diary cases may have the threading skipped on the edges, fraying, or discoloration. Here at ground zero, you can pick these cases up in bulk for $15 - $20 RMB which is slightly over $2 USD on average.
Not saying these cases aren't worth it, but just thought it would be interesting to let you know where these cases came from. Being that the price was so cheap, I definitely picked up a few cases myself for friends and family without even thinking twice.
Not being able to decide, which from the two should I pick. Any suggestion?
Tell me which one would YOU pick for yourself and why?

The top one cause I don't like the green in the bottom one. Not a big fan of bright neon colors. The top one looks classy and the bottom looks like a toy IMHO.

well i have been searching around and no luck. when im at home, i got a rubber case for it since i tend to not drop my phone at home. but when im out, i tend to forget about my phone and drop it. now this hasn't happened to my nexus one but it has happened to my past phones (iphone 3gs, i phone 3g, blackberry curve, blackberry bold, sidekick lx 2009, sidekick lx, etc) so i need a heavy duty case for my nexus one curve. it doesn't have to look sexy but i wouldn't mind if it did will to go up to $50 for it. so any suggestion guys?
Do a search for "BLACK RUBBER DUAL COVER CASE FOR HTC NEXUS ONE GOOGLE" on Ebay. Fantastic silicone/hard plastic case for $7.99 (i paid additional $3.99 for international shipping) which seems to give the N1 much better protection than the standard rubber cases (i have one of those "argyle" ones).
Othe than that, there's Case-mate tough (which i believe is very similar to the one on ebay, don't know if it's worth more than 3 times as much), Seidio Innocase and Otterbox has N1 cases coming out.
I have a Tough Case (pink/black), it looks pretty good and does feel pretty hefty, has some very good reviews too.
Overall fit is very good, nothing loose, all holes line up bang on. I do like that the buttons are covered, and that being covered doesn't affect their operation. Also comes with a screen protector which doesn't mess with the visual quality or useability of the screen, which surprised me.
Really don't have a bad word to say about it, other than it's quite expensive for a case, I'd probably nit have bought it if I didn't get a good price.

I don't think you can go wrong with either.
One review on the case mate (tough case) website said that his phone survived a 35 foot drop to concrete. Someone in the general forum had a clear case that only covers the sides and back and it didn't even survive a 2 foot drop.

grrrr both are so tempting. they both look rather good. i guess i will buy the case mate for now (along with an invisibleshield for screen and body protection) and buy the otterbox some other time. hope the case mate tough case feels as good as it looks
also, i want fully body protection for the front, not just the screen. is the screen protector that case mate comes with enough? or is it better to get a full body invisibleshield?

Well, the screen protector by definition only covers the screen, however the silicon skin part of the case protrudes a few mm (as seen in above pic), which will protect the front in the event of a face-plant.

cool cool let me know how that otter box goes, I might pick one up too depending on how much you like it.
I haven't seen any videos of this case, so I thought I'd put together a quick review for you guys. It's a pretty neat case, I kind of prefer it to the TPU-Cases model, I just wish the top was completely covered.
Also, the title should read "qubits" not "quibits".
Love the video, looks very professional. On a quick note. I wanted to point out that Yoobao has a somewhat similar TPU case with that missing top part that you mention was missing cover.
Here is a link for it:

How does it fit? Is it really tight? I'm looking for a TPU case because the Tmob case I got when I got the phone is simply way too floppy and loose. That Yoobao you posted is exactly what I'm looking for because I want a clear case to show off the phone's design. If the fit is tight and the cutouts all align nicely I'm purchasing it immediately lol.
To stay on topic, the OP's video looks very professional and I've looked at the Qubits case a lot too.

It fits like a glove, no flimsiness and not loose at all! Every single cutout is made EXACTLY where it needs to be. I was amazed by that.
Thanks for the review. Looks like a better case than the rubber one I got from T-Mobile for $20. The case is too loose around the sides. I already scraped the side with my key. I will be buying one of these TPU's.

1 more question: how long did it take for you to get it? I really want to try it out, but I'm leaving for college in 13 days, so the fact that it's shipping from Hong Kong kinda makes me worried that I wouldn't get it in time.
If in the uk amazon sell the grey one through a seller named "podjunkie" bit the order is fufilled by amazon

i got similar case ( black , not transparent and slightly different in design) as OP from amazon for $5.99 with free 2 days shipping ( 4 bucks cheaper ^^). This is really good case, fit tight and look awesome. As OP said,only weak point is that this case doesn't cover the top ( i guess they decide to design this way so you can put in/ or take off the case easier. I have similar type of this case for my mytouch 4G, my nexus S and it is a little bit more difficult to take the case off or put it in) This is always my first choice when i buy my phone's case.

The case adds very little to the over all size. It does weight more but feels solid. You actually remove the battery cover and replace it with the carbon fiber texture back battery cover. Again the nicest case Ive ever seen for any phone. I get people asking all the time what phone I have and half the time they have an S4. I started they strangers I got the limited edition S4 lol:silly:

I had an EVO 4g and believe me or not my son use it as his tablet (his 7) to this day. I loved that phone but most of the phone case for the S4 with kick stands look and feel cheap and plastic. For work I spend a lot of time selling in and out of offices ( the truth is I like looking right/good, House looking right, car looking right, watch looking right, glasses/sun glasses looking right, hair looking right and of course my phone GOT to be looking right) This case adds little to the size of the phone and it gets rid of the plastic look and feel because usually I rock the phone naked. Phone is in my hand now,"I feel Glass, Metal and carbon fiber (most likely fake)"= awesome. I know what your saying but this case look and feels FU%*ing right lol. Im not joking people ask me so much "what phone do you have" that now I tell them I got a limited edition S4 and they believe me.

I said it in anther thread too but for a leather pouch type case I wouldn't look past etsy, some really nice stuff, a lot of it handmade, many sellers will customise it for you and if you choose well you will get a much better leather than you would from a mass produced item unless you are prepared to pay top dollar.
Fitbag is my go to pouch brand. I love the beat black leather pouch as its got a lovely soft microfibre lining but they do loads of alternatives
Their website is in German, so you have to use Google translate or chrome, but they deliver just fine to the UK.
When you order just stick the name of your device in the box and its custom made to suit

No they don't, but the leather is extremely soft and very flexible (not hard and stiff like most pull tab cases), so I just grip the side of the case and push the phone out from the bottom through the case, it is very easy to do
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
The Fitbag pouches are already on Amazon UK. I really can't decide between the Fitbag or the MediaDevil, the MediaDevil looks like it would add more protection but might be a bit bulky for me

]SK[ said:
I looked at the fitBAG on YouTube and not sure on the thinner material. The one from MediaDevil is thicker and has a pull tab. That said I stopped using the tab after a while and started to just tip or pull the phone out as the case took shape of the phone.
Being a thinner material and a snugger fit the fitBAG certainly looks to use less space.
I'm a bit worried after seeing the bend, scratch test. Maybe I need a stronger case.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think these bend tests are ridiculous, if you're putting that much concentrated force into a phone to snap the screen in HALF then in the words of apple "You're holding it wrong".
If you need a case to prevent the phone from breaking when you do load it that much, then a leather pouch, regardless of how thick it is is not going to protect the phone imo
I treat these pouches as form of protection from scuffs and scatches from dust/grit in your pockets, and if you accidentally rub a set of keys over it.
I've got my N6 fitbag beat pouch that I'm using until my 6P one arrives, I can take some pics of it if you guys want?

I can't help but think it looks like a used condom.
Certainly still nice but I'm so used to seeing my pouch looking stiffer.
I'm struggling to find better ways to say this without sounding so ooer.
Do you push the phone up out from the bottom like a callipo ice cream?

Yeah kinda like that, cos its so flexible I push up in the middle and hold the edge of the case, pushing the phone out.
It feels very much like a slim fabric sleeve but the with water resistance of leather, big bonus if someone spills a drink on it!
I used to have stiff cases that needed pull tabs, but hated the fact that the edges were wider and hard to accommodate the edge stitching
The fitbag one has no seam at all to speak of, the size of case and phone is basically just the phone so it cuts down on the size of the thing in your pocket, which for phablets is a big bonus
Soft MF lining is really nice too, cos its tight to the phone, it cleans the screen when the phone is inside and then when you pull it out its clear of prints

Have used fitBAGs (all Fusions) for my last 3 phones (Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5, and my Nexus 6P.... if it ever arrives). Although they do not provide much pysical protection, and no drop, it has done me very well. I use a hard case when needed, but the fitBAG is my day to day case / pouch.
Hi there,
I really wanted a sleeve from SENA, but I don't believe their Android cases sell very well so I'm not holding my breath for a Nexus 6P sleeve (they themselves told me they wouldn't do a Note 5 sleeve due to this factor).
I snapped some pics of how my 6P fits inside my iPhone 6+ sleeve and also with my FitBag iPhone 6+ sleeve as well. The FitBag is a good fit, the Sena sleeve is unfortunately just a little too short to work well for the 6P.
Here is the Sena:

Not available yet for the 6P but I have one for my current Nexus 5 (had it for two years). I like the thing so much I will be ordering this again for my new 6P.
Don't forget 10.1% cashback on topcashback for this site to bring the price down somewhat.

I love Speck cases but they need more options. Only two colors for the Pixel XL. Black or Clear.
Pricey!! Good cases though. Just not sure I'll pay that much for a case anymore. Too many cheaper options that are as good

$45 are they on drugs? No thanks Speck. Overpriced garbage.
Got my black one for the XL on order from vzw.com. With my discount it was like $29. I'll post pics when it comes in.
Got the Presidio case in and i like it. It's similar to the old Grip cases that Speck makes. I've attached a few pics with size comparisons to the Moto Z Force and a 1st gen Moto X. Now I just need the phone!! :good:
I like the clear case, however I cannot find anywhere in Canada selling Speck? Amazon.ca only has iphone and speck.com doesn't ship internationally... that stuff drives me ape.

have to say i'm really surprised with this case. gray/black official google case was very nice but to say it is a lint magnet is an understatement. so i purchased the speck presidio today. you have to see it in person and feel it with your phone in it to appreciate it. it looks pretty clean with the silver xl. can imagine how stealthy it would look with the quite black.
i really can't say one bad thing about the case other than its price. they managed to keep it thin. as a matter of fact, it feels thinner than the clear case that they offer. the buttons offer clicky feedback, it's easy to take on and off, and doesn't scratch like the speck cases of old.
the best thing about this case? when you drop it, it bounces. almost like a rubber ball soft corners help with that). i feel super comfortable and i'm not not as careful when handling the xl now.
had the spigen ultra hybrid, clear speck, official google clear, and official google gray/black. this is easily the best of them all...imo.

yep. not sure how to get a discount though. sometimes with these case manufacturers you can leave an item in the cart and partially go through the purchase process (quit the purchase right before confirming the order) and they'll email you a percentage off. other times of you subscribe to their mailing list they'll give you a percentage off. didn't try it in this instance however. of course getting a discount on it at the vzw store won't happen.

I can confirm that this is the blue case for the XL. I got mine in this morning. It looks good.
I'll post a pic later.

I kind of love it.
I came from the spigen rugged armor and this is a little bigger, but not by much at all. It fits well and it does not seem to add that much bulk over all. Also the keys are responsive to the touch and I think the grips are set into the case a little better. With my last Spec case I had some of the grips peal, this one feels sturdier. It goes on and comes off pretty easy, but it doesn't feel like it's going to fall off. It's definitely my new daily driver.

I got my clear case with the Silver XL and it looks great. Coming from a Nexus 6 with no case, it's not too big at all. In fact, after I put the case on this, they're almost the same exact size. Got mine for about $35 after a 25% discount at the Verizon store. I know it's a crazy amount of money, but the case is great.
I got the Black Presidio on ebay. New In Box $19.99 when Speck and Verizon charge $45. Wish they had the blue though. I think it looks good with the quite black
