Imak Ultra Slim Flip Case Review - Nexus 4 Accessories

Aside from the hilariously bad English on the back of the front cover it looks really good. I ended up buying one today, will see what happens when it comes. Basically it's a VERY slim flip cover that doesn't even use a standard hard shell. It uses some sort of sticky thing from the looks of it.
Go to ebay for pics. Has a lot of pics of the product there.
--------------------------------
Edit:
Got it today:

Pros:
Glue is strong, if you remove it the glue doesn't stick to the phone.
It's slim as they say.
The cover feels pretty nice.
Magnet keeps case closed
Doesn't add much weight (178g with case on (nexus 4 official weight is 139g) and a back screen protector)
Cons:
If you keep removing the phone from the case the glue bubbles a bit (like it doesn't look flat like out of the box. It's still sticky though.
If you lineup the camera/speaker at the back the speaker cutout at the front doesn't lineup properly.
Bad translated English on the back of the flip cover.
All in all, I'd say it's a pretty good case if you don't care about side production and don't need the speaker thingy at the front. Since it's pretty slim it not really a hassle to just open the cover up and talk on the phone that way.
Edit: Managed to line it up halfway where I can use the speaker port on the front and not block the camera or speaker.
Edit: I tested the stand functions of this case. One works, the other does not.

Top right and bottom right works, the top left just slides down.

White balance in that pic is terrible. The background is actually white and the cover (inside) is gray.
Edit:
Updated Ebay link as with another listing as the old one has expired.

Looks pretty nice for a flip cover. No edge protection for drops, but scratch protection seems fine.
Bookmarked to see what an actual owner thinks of it.

Edit: If someone here can speak chinese, could you translate this??

Edit: You can combine it with the nexus 4 bumper too. Although it might be a bit tight, not sure.

It's saying that the half with flip connected to it, is not connecting to the phone, so you could use it as a stand.

It's like rubbery with a leather like texture (I think they are calling it "snake skin leather" or something?). It doesn't really feed bad. It adds nice grip to the phone and it's not rough to hold.

A fast review of my Resin Skin Case

I ordered this on Feb 12 and got it today Feb 16, would of probably been faster if it wasn't for the weekend and Presidents day.
Unlike my first of the same color with checkered marks, this one is clear and smoke colored, Fitment is fine, putting it on for the first time was a tight fit but it will give you the peace of mind that once its ON, its ON forever and this sucker isnt going anywhere. Fitment is perfect and all holes line up. What I like most about this is that it extends over the Camera lens unlike the previous one in which there was no protection at all.
I like it and will be ordering from these guys in the future.
www.googlenexusoneaccessories.com for $12.99, price might be a little high but I am very satisfied.
Not a bad price for a perfect fit & good protection!
Is this actually a crystal case? if so then I think it's a little too steep on the price.
But it does have an acrylic / rubbery look to it compared to a normal crystal case, but then again, also the pictures are quite blurry.

No its not a crystal case. Its a silicon resin case thats somewhat elastic. Yeah those pics are blurry but thats the best I can do for now since I used my G1 to take the shots.

Didn't see a "resin" case on the site. Is it the "candy skin case?"

Just looked at the invoice and its listed as :
NEXUS ONE CANDY SKIN CASE - TRANSPARENT SMOKE
you will not regret buying this.
How does the feel of the case compare to the Checkered/Argyle smoke case? That's the case I have right now, and I would definitely be interested in upgrading if the material feels the same.
Ordered yesterday and awaiting ship notification.
Does this still work if you put it in the dock?
Just ordered. Waiting for shipping conf. I got the clear candy one. I like the look of the N1 so if I can show it off as much as possible great.
I am getting this mostly for the grip and feel. Though it is nice it will protect it.

This one has a more sturdier feel to it, but its just as flexible.

No it will not work on a dock, if you have no plans of using a dock then this is the way to do. I dont think that there are any cases out there that will work with the Nexus dock.
Would the case block the camera lens?
The case does not block the camera lens. There is a small opening over the center of the glass lens so while the lens is protected from most scratches I haven't seen any effect on pictures (thought I haven't taken many). One thing i noticed though is that the small opening seems to attract dust which is hard to wipe off. A can of compressed air solves that problem though.
Think I might just order this one, using the checkered case right now and would love the cover for the camera lens.
BTW, there's a 15% off coupon for this website. Just use the code "nexus15". (w/o quotes).
Makes the total $11.04.
Is this better then the crystal cases?
How much thickness does this add to the phone? I am interested in some protection for my nexus, but don't want to double its thickness like many of the rubber cases do.
Just received the case. Here are the goods:
Fits perfectly
Protects the camera without ruining pictures
Flexible rubbery plastic provides good protection
And the bad:
Couldn't get it to fit properly with my phantomskinz
Harder to get the charger to plug in (inserted at slight angle)
Overall it's very good. It'll protect against most falls but you'll still need a screen protector. It fit over my phantomskinz snuggly but the skin and the case kept rubbing and sticking together making it difficult to install properly (some of the alignment was off) so I opted to remove the back parts of my skin - now it fits perfectly.
-And the bad:
---Harder to get the charger to plug in (inserted at slight angle)
I can confirm this. Nothing a little exacto work couldn't fix though
It looks so good, does it fit to the phone?

Desire Alu Leather flip case

Im waiting for the PdAir leather flip case to come up, but meanwhile I spotted this for £20. Works for both Desire and N1. What you guys think?
http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct....rce=google&utm_medium=base&utm_campaign=pound
That looks a good price £20+vat = £23.50
Proporta are charging £30!
-Joe
Yes. Not bad at all... not sure if the PdAir one is better... below a sample of one on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PDair-Genuine..._PDAsAccessories_PDACases?hash=item335c381f19
I had PDair before - and I do like their quality. The Alu leather one seems to keep the whole screen free from obstruction, which I like...
The problem with the PDair, like the one for the HD2, is that the leather along the sides of the screen actually make it more difficult to use the touch screen at the edge of the screen. I prefer the Clove case mentioned above and a similar design from Noreve.

I agree with that. I had a PDAir case on a previous phone and found it did restrict access to the edge of the screen and also to the buttons at the bottom.
On the other hand, I am worried that the Desire Alu Leather flip case does not protect the edges of the phone from other things in the pocket and, even, whether small coins can slip under the cover onto the screen.
I may have to stick with a simple pouch. (But I also like the look of PDAir's Luxury Silicone Case like they make for the Nexus One.)
Good point.. the sides are open, but I think it should cover if it falls on the floor etc. I think I will go for the Prpoporta alu case, but get a screenprotector film as well.
Just orderered the Alu-Leather case from Clove. Will let you know when get it and how it feels.
Got the Alu Leather flip case today. Looks great!!! Finally I dont have to worry too much about scratching or damaging the phone. It looks stylish with black and inside white leather. It gives access to the headphone jacks and is easy to open quickly to answer calls etc.
Seems keeping the phone sturdy in place and nothing blocking the screen (unlike PdAir).
Will let you know how it feels after couple more days use!!
But looks really stylish!
Is the stud used to close the cover stands over the screen? I like flip cases, but on most of them the studs is just over the screen, and I'm worried about been able to broke it.

The stud.. or magnetic button... stands almost exactly over the optical trackball. But I wouldnt worry at all as the cover is lined with aluminium sheet. Means its well protected from impacts to the front and back of the phone.
How much depth would you say it adds to the phone?
Are you able to upload any pics? Would be awesome if you could, particularly one with the stud closed
Here are few pics... please dont pay attention to all the dust that the flash picked!
It does add little depth to the phone - as does PdAir etc. At least it has a aluminum layer strengthening it, but with the leather its smooth. I got this phone on a 24mth
contract so I want to protect my baby well at least for the first year or so...
Jannen, what is it like taking portrait photos now with the flap at the top? Does it get in the way at all?
Just took some pics... just hold the flip with your left hand. To me, no big deal really... and as it was sunny the flip actually blocked the sun reflecting from the screen. But honestly, I think that is personal taste. I prefer flip cases to others as they give some protection if you drop the phone while using it. Slip in ones dont protect if you drop it while using it.

The king of ultra slim cases is actually NOT Spigen as I initially thought... RINGKE!

So as many of you waiting for your pre-orders last week I went ahead and looked for an ultra slim case for everyday use. Spigen seemed to be a household name and went ahead and bought their Ultra Fit for $10:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I3ULRZG
I was satisfied with it, matte white, fit perfect and snug, protected the back camera and sensors when placed on a table, nothing to complain about. I had thrown out the screen cover because the cut outs were not precise at all, in fact there was no cut out for the upper sensors, only for the home button. Why would i ruin front camera quality with the screen protector over it? yuck.
I then came across Ringke Slim. I have never heard of them before but judging by their high number of reviews, it seemed that they were well versed as well in the case game. at this time i also wanted to get an electric blue case because i got tired of plain white super quick. Also, the screen protector actually had the PERFECT cut out for all sensors and front camera. This was super impressive to me and I gladly put it on even though I don't care much for screen covers in general. This is what i ordered for $9 including shipping:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IPKHP64
Well i received it today and WOW it was made of a far superior plastic. It wasn't because it was thicker but it felt very different. it felt more denser, less paper like. i compared tapping each and the Spigen was very "airy" felt cheap and very "hollow" (best way i could describe it). The sides were completely covered as opposed open which isn't a bad thing but it did feel more complete as a case. Cut outs were perfect as well and charging hasn't been a problem. I quickly realized the Spigen case is actually not as great as I thought now that I had something to really compare it to. I started seeing on the Spigen where the plastic was punched out of the mold (check picture).
Anyways enough talk here's the pictures:
http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.co....jpg?key=nBsLK_haY5suFrjdcOa0hA&ts=1397604778
And the gallery plus the Spigen white case for comparison. Notice the inside of the Spigen, wasn't even spray painted completely most likely because they used a clamp to spin it while spraying

As you can tell Ringke > Spigen in the affordable ultra slim case category.

Agreed, i bought both through amazon, and while i didnt care to use any of the screen protectors the Ringke is MUCH better and really sleek looking. Material kind of feels like the back of the phone and even looks like the back. Only downside is i hate trying to get the freaking waterproof flap out at night! Grrrr
I too have this case and am liking it.
It is hard to hook your fingernail to get the charging flap open although I assume most cases will be similar.
Ok...I'll jump aboard. I bought two cases before I got the S5 in my hands. One was the Ringke and the other was the Spigen Tough Armor.
While the Tough Armor is a very solid case and looks great, it makes the S5 feel like a brick in my hands. On the other hand, the Ringke Slim has a similar texture and gripability as the S5 naked. It doesn't even feel like the device has a case on it at all.
Nice! Defo would give Spigen a run for its money! Great to see competition here and there. At the end, we, the consumers, would benefit on it. More options, right?
Yea I just orderd 2 new Ringke cases. Ill post em up when they comr in tomorrow

thanks for this review man. Was about to order a spigen case and then saw this and after a little more research i just ordered the ringke. I went with the Dot black, I'll post up some pictures to compare with other colors once it comes in.
I got the DOT black I ordered from their site and got the case plus screen protector for $10 with free shipping

I got this case delivered today.. It is AWESOME and for 5 bucks it was a steal.. I crumbled up the useless screen protector and threw it out
I should have gotten white though, because my phone is white and I got the blue color. It kind of looks funny.. I thought blue and white would look good.
It doesn't

I like the case. It feels good in your hand when you hold the phone.
One thing though, on my case the lip around the chrome front trim sides covers more than the lip on the top and bottom. At first I thought I didn't snap it in all the way but it seems like that's just the way it is? Is that how it fits for the rest of you that already have the case?

That's how they all are. Actually I really like this design. It's almost as if its spring loaded, its smaller than our phone, it doesn't just fit like a glove, its actually too small. But the cut outs on the top and bottom allow the plastic to "flex" basically its as if its gripping the hell out of phone, holding into place.
The Spigen hybrid I had for my GS4 was awesome looking, but broke all the time (plastic by the bottom) in anycase, this one is just as nice IMO.
Doesn't add much thickness at all, but will save it from a drop and the camera while on a desk.
If anyone is wondering, I just dunked my phone for 30 minutes with this case. So it doesn't effect the IP68(yea, I said 8, because this thing is pretty much water PROOF) rating.

i can only say i've had to take the case off and on many times to show off to my friends how thin the actual phone is. i mastered how to take it off by pressing outwards the top left corner. you push it out enough so you can fit a finger through and i just slide it down the side and the whole case pops off. this is the easiest way i found. at first i had a problem because i didn't try a corner but started from the middle of the long side. but to answer your question, no scratches.

I'm 100% sure they are fake. Look at the feedback page, it's full of "Excellent!" and "good quality" multiple times by the same few user accounts.
I just got this delivered today with the white dot pattern. I also ordered the wireless charging back the other day, definitely don't think wireless charging will work with this on - what an idiot I am.

New Affinity case by Poetic

OK here it is . After 1 week of using the clear poetic affinity case I must say it has held up better than I thought it would. My daily case was the UAG clear case so I could show off the beautiful gold glass on the back of my phone. The poetic affinity offers very similar protection but feels much less bulky. The clear plastic is wrapped in a hard black tpu that runs around the bezel of the phone and covers a section of the back. All of the ports are easy to access however their is no opening for the noise cancelling mic at the top of the phone. ( Could just be because it is a test model ). I feel the case provides a good amount of protection and I like all of the options for design and style they offer on amazon. The buttons are easy to feel and don't stick out really far. If I were to buy one for my self I would stay away from the clear affinity only because of the fingerprints it picks up. I am way too ocd for prints all over my case. I prefer a clear textured for fingerprint prevention. All in all I would say this case provides protection and a nice look in a less bulky package than the UAG case and the Poetic Affinity is half the price. I would rate this case an 9 out of 10. I must say the case looked fantastic with a skin on my phone. I would definitely consider this a go to case if you are in the market.

@Intub8 thank you for starting this thread.. I have the case as well.. It's a nice feel in hand..and keeps the phone slim.. I personally would like the front top and bottom to cover a little more since I can see a hairline of my phone bezel but that's my OCD. And having AT&T phone the back on my phone looks too busy..

I am also using the Affinity case by Poetic. Very nice case but because of its highly smooth shiny gloss construction it does show every tiny mark. I had just fitted it and cleaned it with a proper spectacle cleaning cloth and even that made minute marks on that lovely finished high gloss plastic. Superb looking and shows off very well the beauty of this magnificent mobile.

Does somebody has the scth50 case?

Does somebody already has the original scth50 case?
I'm thinking of buying one of these, but I'm afraid of the thickness.
I really like the shape of the phone and the feeling when I touch it.
I think with these case it's very thick.
Has somebody seen these case? I don't have a shop nearby, where I could see the case.
I have it and I like it. It is light but feels solid, the transparent front panel is very stylish and practical, in fact you can do almost everything with the case closed as it only makes the screen slightly darker and blurry.
I think it is a good compromise if you don't get a screen protector, which is what I did since the rounded borders are a pain in the ass with glass protectors.
However it does make the phone bulkier, it still fits in my pocket without problem but the thickness is for sure increased, it is now about 16 mm in total with the case on.
I usually doesn't like this kind of covers at all, but I just ordered this one to give it a try because of it's transparent front. Hope to get within this week.
As stated before, the design of the phone doesn't seem to be very good with normal screen protectors and silicone covers as I used om my Z5 Compact. And those still didn't protect it enough when I dropped it unfortunately, the speaker broke ? But it gave me a reason to by this little baby hehe
Thanks.
I will try a soft textile cover soon.
Hopefully I can take a look at the original case in a store near me. Maybe I will give it a try.
I've had the original cases at the Z5C and at the XZP.
It was ok, but everytime I took out the phone it felt so good and handy.
Update after over a month of use: don't think that because your phone is waterproof, so will the official case! After just a couple of strong rain sessions, the two layers of the transparent front flap are starting to separate, and the paper holding the case ID strip is flaking off. Nothing too ugly for the moment, but I'm not very hopeful that this case will last.
My case is also starting to fall apart. What a shame for such a pricey original accessory.
That's really a shame.
Glad that I did not buy the cover.
Currently I am using a roxfit transparent cover and a protective film on the front.
And after four months, it looks like utter garbage.
Such a shame, the idea was good but it is absolutely not worth the price.
Thanks for the picture.
That's absolutely not ok for such a pricy cover.
I'm still good with the roxfit back cover and a textile sleeve.
