Short Review and Photos of Mesh (Hard Case) Casing

Hello everyone! Just wanted to share this with the people here. Bought an Orange mesh case on ebay via London Magic Store and have been very happy with it. It's so nice that I am considering buying the white and possibly the blue one as well.
It doesn't provide as much protection as the gel cases, but it makes the device easier on the eye. It simply looks sleek.
Now on to the photos:

I hope you found this post useful.

this orange one looks great!
i'll wait until my red one dies, if ever... LOL
have anyone wondered.... Why the hell the cases does not cover the bottom of the phone??????, we just need a pin size hole for the mic
all these slick great looking hybrid (soft/hard) cases are like that... why?
not like we have any connectors there

I thought the mesh cases were the ones with holes in them? Usually, on Ebay, these are just referred to as "rubberized hard back case" or something like that.

But somehow, I prefer the real mesh design (the ones with holes all over) but they don't come in orange.
As for the bottom opening, it's most probably to retain the flexibility of the case, so U can snap in and out easily. Mine came with a hairline crack at the bottom.. but it's a minor thing.. so Im not bothered.

maybe that's the reason
otherwise i can't understand why the soft gel / rubber ones are fully wrapped, but the nice stylish ones are butt naked
i already have a full gel one, it's great for protection, but sometimes it gets a bit on the edge, when the finger is too close to the end of the screen.
so i prefer the stylish models like the orange one, makes using the phone easier, the finger doesn;t get caught in the way of the gel/rubber cases when sliding close to the edge of the screen

Naiveness ;> It's to save money, simple as that. Making a case which covers the top and bottom requires more precision work in order for it to snap in/out easily enough and beside that it also require more material and design work.
Back to topic though, you tricked my expectations Not nice playing with people's mind like that, saying it's a mesh case review when it's not. Anyhow, t'is a nice case, I should be getting the black version within a day or two.
As far as protection goes... Not really expecting much, if any at all. Pretty sure I'll end up buying a case mate tough case or something similar for the scenarios when I know I'll be more likely to drop things. Too bad they're pretty expensive, in comparsion.

but the mesh case and this case is identical
just different colours
the mesh has holes, this one is solid

That's like saying a fish net is the same thing as a hairnet. I'm not reaaally complaining, just nit-picking on the title.

But can U confirm the quality and finishing is identical?
Coz if I'm not wrong, the mesh cases are official Samsung accessory, made by Anycall. There's a shop here (set up by some China nationals) that sell cheap cases and they happened to have something similar to the one shown here, with various colours... They're S$15 and look cheap. Not sure if they are the same.
Do note the price varies alot.. U$11++ for the mesh ones and U$3++ for this with free shipping..

ihave the same case from london magic store but in purple and its great, gives the phone a lot more solid feel without making it too chunky.
also recived an orange mofi case to keep it in and even with the case on it fits in fine, very pleased

Anybody knows if this cases fit Samsung Galaxy SL (i9003)? I would love to buy one, but I don't know if it's going to fit with my phone!
Thank you mates!!

Nice looking case. Im stuck with some half metal half plastic pile of depression that scratches after the slightest graze. Seems like i got what i had for the money......

CLEAR Hard Snap-On Case Cover for G2

NOTE: I know there's some discussion about this specific case in another thread here, but since there were other cases discussed in that thread I thought it would be best to create a dedicated thread for it.
I recently purchased/received this from luxurycellwireless, and after using the HTC Hard Shell Case (OEM) for about a month I'd have to say I'm very impressed with this clear plastic one. It fits the G2 nicely, almost to the point where I'm going to be nervous when I have to remove it from the phone. Hopefully I won't have to take it off anytime soon, but for the price of $3 shipped how could anyone go wrong with this. I almost think this is a better case than the HTC one, as that already broke on me after a month's use. However, after only using this one for a few hours there are already light scratches on it. I don't care about that, because it's purpose is to protect my phone. I'm considering buying another one or two of these to keep on hand, in the event that this one breaks on me. It's that good. My only concern now is how much dust is going to get trapped under it, hopefully not enough to warrant a dismantling & cleaning. If you're looking for a case, go get yourself one of these. You won't be disappointed.
Here's 18 photos I took of the case protecting my G2 for your viewing pleasure - https://picasaweb.google.com/dustrho/CLEARHardSnapOnCaseCoverForG2#

Wow, no replies.
Thinking about buying a couple more of these, as I love this case. It's easily the best one I've purchased so far for my G2. Sure, there are some scratches on the back of it now, but what do you expect for something that's clear and made out of cheap plastic? The one thing I really enjoy about this case, is that it seems to have fixed my "screen wobbling" issue (no more!).
If you need a case for your G2, this is the one.

Looks good. I found a softish one

does it obstruct the top row keyboard by a tiny bit? my fingers are big so it is important to me that it doesn't

Had that case before my current black one, liked it a lot, but with 1 problem. After a week or so of being in your pocket it collects dust and lint under the case and it looks dirty lol so I would take it off and clean it like every week then finally the little hinges that hold it on broke other then that it did the job.

No, it doesn't interfere with the top row of buttons on the physical keyboard. That top piece has a cutout so it sits flush. You can see it in the picture below...

Thanks OP I got mine in the mail yesterday and I really like it.

You're welcome.
I had to take the case off the other day to do a battery pull (bad ROM flashing put me in a boot loop), and I have to say it was pretty easy getting it off. Nowhere near as difficult as the HTC OEM hard shell case or the cheap black one that was on sale at Amazon. So, I'm glad I got this case, and just need to order myself a couple extra for backup purposes.

I got one last week it looks like that one but is black and has a soft feel to it.

thanks for the TIP! this is a great case.

Holster that doesn't need a case?

Hi All,
Just got the Nesux 4, and I really like it. But, I need a holster.
I've searched google, ebay, and amazon, and cannot find what I'm looking for. Maybe it doesn't exist, but if it does, I'm sure someone here would know.
I'm looking for a holster, like the ones Seidio makes such as the one for the Active Case, but I don't want to have to put the phone in a case. I understand most people like the case cause it protects the phone, and I plan to get one as well for work. But, for all other times but work I prefer to not have a case around the phone.
So, does anyone know of a spring-loaded seidio type holster, that does not need a case, for this phone?
Thanks in advance.

The Seidio Active holster made for the HTC Sensation will fit the phone WITHOUT a case. I'll snap a pic later. Im at work and the case and holster is at home.

That sounds good. Thank you.

Here's some pics I snapped but I don't have a macro lens, I can take additional pics at work with my PnS.
Again, this is the Seidio Active Holster made for the HTC SENSATION.

Nope. It's just a little bit taller than the HTC Sensation so the top spring latch is up a bit but it's not going anywhere. It's way secure. And I'll post better pics tomorrow when I get my PnS at work.

Thank you! Those shots look good.
So, that's for the Sensation 4G, right? And, looking at the specs of both phones, i see the N4 is taller and wider. So, it definitely won't be loose, but is it very tight? Do you have much trouble removing it from the holster when on your belt?

Yes it's for the Sensation 4g.
It's tight. A slight jiggle, but it aint going anywhere. But I hesitate to tell you to go get it because this phone really needs protection from a drop. I say this because I baby the heck outta my stuff and I do drop my phones. And removing it from the holster is a non issue. It works fine. Because of the slickness of the N4 you really really gotta be careful to not drop it.

Wonderful. If I keep this phone I will get one of those, unless I find something better by then.
I know it needs a case, and I plan to get one for work and such. But, for me a case really makes a good phone feel bad. For dress/casual I plan to use it without a case. A risk, I know, but one I'm willing to take. Kinda defeats the purpose of making a phone feel nice in the hand and then putting a bulky case on it.

Toughest case?

Hey all,
I just ordered a Compact and am looking forward to it a lot (my current phone is a Samsung Galaxy 4G so this is going to be a huge huge upgrade).
I've had an OtterBox case on my Galaxy but OtterBox doesn't make Sony cases. Can any of you recommend a really really tough case for the Compact? To me, looks are far less important than making sure the case doesn't get broken.

I've also been looking for the most protective case which would look and _protect_ like the otterbox or griffin cases. The most closest thing i found was the case-mate tough case. There are some pics somewhere in this forum, just google it.

I can think of a few:
1. Incipio DualPro
2. Case-Mate Tough/Tough Naked
3. Elecom Heavy Duty Zero Shock
4. Ringke Fusion
But not sure whether these cases have opening for the magnetic port.

Thanks! That gives me a good start.
I've decided on the Case-Mate (not through a very scientific process, just that it's available and looks like similar construction to the Otterbox). One thing to note (for anyone viewing this thread later) is that apparently it does NOT have an opening for the magnetic charging port.

have a look on devilcase... not actually supertough but a good compromise!

This is my case-mate
Few days ago i got CASE-MATE BLACK TOUGH HARD CASE from eBay http://www.ebay.ie/itm/201059557589?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
case is very good, only i had to cut hole for magnetic charging port the case is really worth its price, fits perfectly

How did you managed to cut out the dock connector like that?
I've also thought about that, but last time I tried to modify a Case Mate tough case on my Galaxy I9100 it wasn't that smooth like yours.
What kind of knife or device did you used for it?

Yep just what I thought (I modded my I9100 case with this kind of knife too)
So I need to be more careful to make it smooth like yours.
I will buy the phone this week, and will get the case shipment about next week. After moddig I will post some pics about it

btw i started cut my case from inside

I can't really imagine how you started from the inside
Can you explain? And after i did the cutout did you used any material to smoothen the edges?

start cut from inside like in this pic start cutting at the fold edge, its help, Cut slowly and several times slide your knife across the cut line.
the red line is NOT a line of cutting its shows only the edge on which I cut.

I see now thanks.
Well the inner side will be the easier one as it's more rubberish. I think I will spend more time on the outer side to make it nice.
Is there any way or trick to make the hole measuring easier or you just simple marked it somehow ?

Has anyone come across a ruggedized case like these for these ones for the z1?

I've already had a scare with getting condensation in my camera lens, so I'm looking for something really protective for an upcoming trip.

Accessories Slim case without bulky lip around the front?

I use gesture navigation so I'm looking for a case that doesnt go around and up so much that it creates a 2mm high rim around the phone.
I was looking for a hardcase for that reason but I couldnt find any good ones and all the soft ones had this rim.
Any recommendations?

That's to protect it from face plants... and is a good feature. Google gestures suck; One Handed Operation plus is better, more robust, versatile with almost unlimited customization.
It uses the sides not the top/bottom and works well with the N10+'s curved display and Zizo Bolt case with slightly raised side guards. Top/bottom case guards are higher. I do most my navigation now from the side.
I believe you can load One Handed Operation plus on Pixels, it's on Playstore. Maybe not; can't tell for sure. If you can, try it. It uses very little resources or battery.

Sure it's a good feature, just not for me, I don't drop my phone a lot, I'm just concerned about the camera bar getting scratched when it sits on the table.
One Handed Operation + doesnt work for pixel phones or at least not for the pixel 6a.
I checked out the case though but its like super bulky and I'm looking for something that doesn't make the phone that much thicker than it already is.
Thanks for the reply anyway.

Hello all
I've jumped ship to the 6a from the crapulent redmi note 11 . Gonna give this case a try on Amazon Clear case . I'll post a few pix here when it's arrives

Thank you as well for answering my question. I was afraid that might be the true. The app then likely works only with One UI.
Alternatively you could machine, sand, file, cut, etc the extra material off to get the right height. Occasionally that's the only way you get it perfect.

I use this:

That looks good, aside from the terribly photoshopped images.
Could you somehow send some images of the case on the phone?
Like from front, side and back, that would help a lot.

Ok here's the Amazon case , yes it's thicker than the post suggests but thought I'd post it anyway rather than open another thread . The top lip looks thin cause I stuck a screen protector on , but phone fits nice n snug in the case . It'll do for £7.99

Torras Shockproof.... Best slim case out there

I got the one @PeterImmel has now.
Was a bit of a mess tho,.. my localised Amazon has other cases than amazon.com so I got the same kind but from a different manufacturer and even though I could find the Torras on amazon.com and buy it, it's nowhere to be found on the local amazon page.
Looks very nice tho, I'll keep it in mind if the one I got now is no good.

Can't stand bulky cases either. I got the 6a Grip from dbrand. I think it was a little expensive, but worth it. It starts off flush with the screen in the middle, then raises slightly near the top/bottom of screen on either end.
About 1/4 of the case (middle area your thumb lands to swipe back) is basically flush with the screen.
I could take pictures of it, if you're still interested, or some reviews might highlight it.

Maybe my Spigen Liquid Armor is 'low' enuff for you...the runner round the camera block is minimal....1mm maybe. Otherwise, it's just a thin, well fitted rubber 'skin' that REALLY helps with grip with really no 'bulk' to speak of...
