Hello all,
Just wanted to share my experience with the Nillkin case (found on eBay, lots of sellers selling it). It comes in around $12 with free shipping. I got the clear black one.
It comes in a decent packaging, and it includes the case, screen protector, and a screen cleaning dongle.
The case itself is actually very nice. The back is actually a sandy/matte texture, and the side has grooves on it to enhance your grip on the phone. It doesn't add much dimensions to it, as it feels still relatively the same size as it is naked. It has openings for the headphone jack, USB port, camera/LED, mic, and speaker. The power button and volume controls doesn't have an opening, but you can still easily press on it with the outlined placement on the case. Speaking of this, I actually found that after putting on the case, it makes it easier for me to reach the power button to unlock the phone, as it increases the area you can use to push it. Also, it contours to the camera, so even if you rest it on its back, you will be resting on the case and not the hump from the camera.
The fit of the case is not perfect, as it is meant for the international version of the One X. It still fits...just some parts you will find it to off by a few millimeters, which is especially noticeable on the camera, and speaker, but good news, it doesn't block it. Other than that, its a very good fit, and doesn't attract too much lint in my pocket. Also, the case wraps around the front edges, so even when you put the phone face down, you will not be placing it on the screen (unlike the Nillkin hard-case).
The screen protector is a different story. I'm not sure if it came with the wrong one or not, but its very small, and doesn't cover the whole screen...at all. Its also a finger print magnet, and you would have to wipe it down a few times a week.
Overall, I'm happy with the case, but will probably replace the screen protector down the line with something else.
i have their hardshell case and i must say its one of the best cases Ive bought for any phone ive owned. Unfortunately , just like your TPU version , it is meant for the international one x so it doesnt fit perfectly. Its not awful but due to that I am using my diztronic case most of the time.
Can we get a big pic of the back just so we can see how opaque the material is please. Just want to see how strong the logo shows if at all. But thanks for the review.
Screen protectors are made smaller to fit curved displays
Most of the screen protectors for curved displays are cut smaller to prevent bubbles at the edges. This has been confirmed by the screen protection manufacturers in the world. Don't be surprise if you find they are smaller for HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S3, and other curved display phones.

Here it is. Its not really opaque, and a lot of details do show through the back.

Thanks for letting me know!
Thanks for that back pic bluerex! I may just go for this one.
Hey i just looked at the top pics again of the screen protector! LOL!!!!! That thing is waaaaayyyyyy offff. That can't be right haha.
I too picked up a clear Nillkin TPU case for my AT&T HOX. I personally must say that it is BY FAR my favorite TPU case for the HOX so far. I am a major cell phone case whore too, btw. LOL
If this Nillkin case doesn't fit the AT&T HOX right I certainly can't tell. It looks perfectly fine to me. I especially like how it makes pressing the power button SO much easier than any other generic TPU case I've bought. It actually makes it SUPER EASY to press the power button whereas other TPU cases didn't seem to line up quite right making me have to try to press the power button more than 3+ times each time I lock or unlock it. After liking this case so much I went ahead & decided to order the Super Shield case as well as the hard plastic fashion case - both by Nillkin on eBay. Can't wait to try those out too!

Hey let me have a link for that exact case. Looks perfect. I just got a tpu and it sucks! Plus it was only $7 so it's not even worth returning. Would probably cost me $3 shipping so I get $4.

How does it fit around the sides? The case I bought was very loose around the sides and made the volume rockers impossible to press. And the top wasn't contoured enough to press the power button easily.

The Nillkin case is actually once of higher quality cases that I have gotten from eBay. The fit is great as tech mentioned.
Tech: the screen protector u recieved, is it way too small for the screen as well?
I bought one myself on EBay and couldn't be happier. Excellent looks, fit and quality. It feels very nice in the hand as well. I don't think I'd ever switch to another case.

I actually ended up finding an even better clear TPU case on Amazon. It's pretty similar to the Nillkin but this one is made by Diztronic and it's on Amazon. It's got a matte finish on the back and cut outs for ALL the ports. Plus it's made specifically for the AT&T One X not the international one. Just Google 'Diztronic matte back TPU' and you should be able to find it on Amazon.

Saw that and it looks good! Only thing is I wish there were not cutouts for the volume and power. I'm not into that depression where the cutouts are when you reach for the buttons But I do like that it is actually made for the AT&T One X because I hate how the speaker and camera are off alignment on basically every other case.
Nillkin TPU case clear black
hello all,
Can i ask a question please? What is the difference between an international htc one x and a htc one x AT&T?
I have an htc one x with a quad-core processor and tegra 3 which is fully unlocked version, i want to know its version meaning if its international or not. I really love a tpu nillkin case. Please search this case on ebay :
Type ( Nillkin TPU Soft Cover Case +LCD Guard HTC One X LTE Endeavor Edge Supreme S720e ) from the ebay search bar. Want to know if this case is for the international htc one x or for the AT&T version.
Also I'm a bit confused about the HTC one x LTE version.
Please help me out. Many Thanks
First let me say I think this is the best overall case for the nexus 4 hands down and I ordered pretty much every other case off amazon. We would all love to use the nexus naked or with a bumper but we also know how fragile this phone is you probably break it or fear breaking it the whole time.
I say this case is the best for these reasons design, cost, and protection. First design, the main thing that stands out about this case it has hard edges when on case feels slick and firm. The whole case has a sparkle effect pretty cool. I absolutely love the white but the black is very nice also my gf loves it. The only flaw in design is probably the power and volume buttons are cut out and case does have a little thickness so can be hard to push buttons sometimes. This case does add to size but keeps nexus 4 shape exactly.
Cost was 5.21 plus 2 dollar shipping so that for me already puts it as number 1 since all others cost more. To me if you had to pick one case this would be it.
Protection to me cannot get any better than this. I don't know how but the case in your hand feels soft and bends like every other case but when on feels solid. Hard to put into words but I trust this case.
Now the only other cases that came close where the distronic (which is a little slimmer and buttons are not cut out. Also back is matte). I blazon was good to very similar to distronic minus the matte back. The mercury is just a tad thicker than these but you really don't feel it.
The other cases like the rearth to me is just a cheap piece of plastic not worth 10 bucks. There is a distronic hard shell that was pretty nice its like the rearth but done right. This would be my second choice if you really want ultra slim. Does not protect whole phone but good enough.
Here are some pics I took today this case is awesome. Comes in a ton of colors.

Question, is the case a solid colour? or does it have sparkles/glitter like previous mercury tpu cases?

This one is not to thick but thicker than others on amazon just bit. But also this is the only one that keeps nexus 4 shape so it feels good in hand. Black is shiny not super though I suggest white as it has a gloss on it and does not get dirty. I'm two weeks on white still looks brand new and its been all over.
I'm not gonna lie I don't like the black but my gf does which good because I would not give her the white. All of them have a sparkle effect black shows it more.

There was some discrepancy between the shipping price on amazon vs the price stated on the Mercury storefront shipping information page. I emailed them about that and they quoted shipping for me in Ottawa at $7.35. They said they would refund me the $2.13 difference in shipping after the fact. :good: I know it's not too much, but it's good to know they're an honest customer-oriented company.

Would anyone with this case mind taking a picture of the micro-usb port area with the case on?
I have a bunch of 6 ft micro usb cables that I like to use because of the length. However, these cables have a lot of excess plastic around the connector so I'm just wondering if they'll be compatible or not.

If I'm the kind of guy who drops his phone like, once a week, should I guess this. Trying to searh for the best option since I just ordered a nexus 4.
I currently have a samsung S2X with a Trident Aegis case that I really liek for protection and such.
Also, still not sure if I will put a screen protector. Is the Nexus 4 screen tough anough not to? Not a fan of the "rubery" feeling they give but its better than a scratched screen.
Got mine. Here's my opinion. It makes the n4 more fatty. I'm not a fan of the strange edges, preferred the smoother more rounded edges on my s3 and iphone4 versions. It's very front lippy, it pushes my skinomi skin and causes it to wrinkle/ bubble/ peel.
Good protection. Excellent quality and material. Cut out perfect. Nice hold/ grip. Great colors.
Took it off and put my nillkin back on.

Did I receive the same case? The Mercury tpu case I got for my Nexus4 looks nice, does add a little bit more bulk than the Diztronic, but one giant problem. It is slippery as hell. The gloss on it is not a sticky gloss, but more of a smooth slippy gloss. It won't stick to any surfaces, and IMO actually makes the phone a little more slippery to hold than when it's bare, since the entire case is made of this stuff. The only time it will be grippy is if your hands are slightly moist or hot enough to leave a steamy fingerprint lol. Not only that, the cutouts make the buttons very hard to press (due to the thickness of the case and shallow-ness of the buttons). The power button is actually kind of ok if you use your fingertip, but it's very hard to press the volume button.
Diztronic tpu owns that crap, u mad bro
I searched and didn't see a review for this case. I picked it up yesterday at T-Mobile I had a Ringke Slim prior to this case, I liked the Ringke Slim but I am so paranoid about dropping my phone and not having enough protection, primarily the top and bottom and the corners of the phone.
The Body Glove offers full protection for the Nexus 4. The case is a hybrid hard/soft case. The inside of the case is a "durable gel material" which extends out to the outer edges of the case so that if the phone drops face down it won't land on the glass. There is also gel material on the outside of the case covering the power and volume buttons as well as the back of the case for some slightly added grip and so when the case is placed down the hard plastic won't be touching whatever its laying on.
The case feels rather good in the hand as it does not add any significant weight or thickness to the phone which is awesome. Body Glove did a great job on keeping the ergonomics of the phone while the case is on. My only real complaint is Body Glove could have added more grip to the case. The little groves they added to the back of the case helps some but I think it would help with grip more if the groves were vertical and not horizontal.
Will add more pics of the case on the phone as well as comparison pics of the Ringke Slim.

My review is that it looks hideous.
Great review!!! It really don't look bad in person but I dont think any case really looks great anyway, to each their own I guess.
I also own this case and I have to say it's amazing, I feel like my phone is very protected and looks great. I was looking on amazon for weeks for a good case but I felt everything else was really cheep, the nova is a great looking high quality case and I wouldn't get anything else!
it looks stromtrooper-ish
they have an all black version if this particular one doesn't suit your taste. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BODY-GL...969187?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item23284cada3
Sad tht in India, we have less choice to get accessories , as I have got the phone through relative living in India.
I picked up the same case and I love it. Buttons feel good. Full all around protection. Color choice was pink or white and that's the only draw back imo

I just picked this up today. So far it fits great and the buttons feel good I just wish the edges weren't as boxy.
Anyways I took some pictures for you. The one with the screen turned on shows what looks like white splotches around the edge, but that's a reflection of something because the case shows some chrome on top and bottom. I couldn't get good lighting and the tablets camera sucks with no flash.

This case is just like the seidio active just with better fit due to more structure from the shell. The seidio is nice but doesn't have enough points of grip making the silicone underneath move a lot and letting in dust and particles.

How do the buttons feel ?
The inner silicone gel case looks thinner than similar dual layer cases (and i presume it cannot be separated from the outer shell as well) . Does it feel like it will give enough protection for a 4/5 ft concrete fall ?
Ooooh! This case is nice! I wish I would've bought this before I bought my Ringke Fusion.

I just traded in my onyx black for blue coral. I currently have a ringke slim case. Hard black plastic. Id like something identical to this except clear?. A lot of the ones I see are soft tpu. Any recommendations on one would be nice. Thanks ahead of time.
The Caseology Skyfall is one that has a very stiff transparent back. But I found that as the back of the Note 7 is not totally evenly flat, the Caseology case, if removed a few times, does not lay totally against the back and you get this strange pattern showing, like ripple effect. I've now seen this in my Samsung OEM gel case as well. My Note 7 is black, perhaps this issue will not happen with other colours. Anyways, I will abandon using transparent and try to find a slim solid colour one. Shame that.
Yea I've had transparent cases on my s6 edge. They got stuff all in them and the case yellowed out. Maybe i could run front and rear screen protectors only. I just hate to hide the blue coral.color
Matchnine Hori model. I think I bought the last one in the U.S. Nice diamond clear pattern on the back.
I-Blason has a great hard clear case for the Note 7. I got it on Amazon for under $20.

I see how the kickstand makes it sit uneven. Otherwise I like it, it's thinner and lighter than the other Spigen case I have.
Nothing makes a new phone look dated like a crystal clear case.
Nothing looks quite as tacky either.
While they 'feel' hard they're still soft plastic and scratch easily. They yellow. They don't 'let the design show through', in my opinion. They just mask it differently.
Just got my Incipio dualpro midnight blue case from NewEgg ($15).
Thought I would upload a few pics for anyone interested and give my two cents.
I chose this case because of the two layers = better protection. The outer layer is smooth, and the areas that aren't covered by the hard outer plastic are smooth as well, thus it'll go in and out of pockets reasonably well.
The inner plastic is harder than I expected, but I've never used a case on any of my phones in 6 years
The inner layer didn't seem to want to come out of the outer layer that easily so I didn't force it. I just pushed the phone into the whole case. It went in easy enough. After it was on the phone the outer hard layer peeled off easily for easy removal of the phone.
All the holes line up perfect. However the USB-C Port hole is just wide enough for the cable shipped with the phone thus some adapters I have won't fit.
Of course the buttons are now harder to press. Some reviews said it was very hard, they aren't IF you press the buttons squarely straight on, but if you squeeze the phone to push the buttons then they seem very hard. So, it's more of an angle thing when pushing the buttons.
Most of the case doesn't flex/move when you squeeze the phone, but the area where the buttons are does as there's no hard plastic in that area. So a screen protector needs to be just slightly into the black bezel on the side, about 0.5mm imo. I won't be using a screen protector....
I wasn't sure about the color until I seen a review of the same case for the Note 8 on YouTube. It's a nice dark blue with a slight shine at an angle. From a distance it looks black. It looks much better than the pictures on Amazon or NewEgg.
Personally I don't think it adds that much thickness but it certainly isn't the slimmest case possible but I'll take the 10 foot drop protection instead! Hey, it's still smaller that my Moto X Pure
I can see it will collect dust and stuff around the edges, and like I've read elsewhere, it's probably wise to put a micro fiber cloth on the back of the phone inside the case so that any grit that gets in there won't scratch up the back..... If you want to go that far.
Almost forgot..... The all important effect on signal. I read one reviewer say it dampened signal noticeable. Not in my case. I actually seem to have gotten an improvement. I was usually sitting at -96dBm and now it looks stable at -93dBm or better. I did notice when testing signal that how I held the phone affected the signal..... So who knows.... :laugh:
If anyone has questions feel free to ask.
I have the smoke clear incipio and love it. Paired with my iq shield screen protector, im set. I buy incipio for everything
I've had this one in black since I got the phone and the Tudia Glost and I always come back to this one. Best case for this phone in my opinion.

I just got the same midnight blue case today, and it is very nice. I wasn't quite sure what the color would look like since it's advertised as being irridescent, but there's no sparkle to it at all, which I appreciate. I also have Incipio's smoke TPU case, which is nice, but a horrible greasy fingerprint magnet, and I have the Poetic carbon fiber case, which is a great size and feels great in the hand, but it's kind of cheesy looking, in my opinion. I will agree that the inner layer of the DualPro is stiff. My wife has had DualPro cases on her phones for years, and they've all had a very soft rubber inner liner with easy to press buttons. I don't know why they changed that for the Essential case. I'm probably going to slit the buttons with a sharp knife. That's always helped on other stiff cases.

Don't cut the buttons. I took off the TPU and worked the buttons with my thumbs for a few minutes and they are significantly softer.

I just got this Dualpro blue case for my essential phone and i love it! Thanks to the OP for the pictures it made me choose the blue color. It looks much much better than what they show before you buy the case. It also provides excellent protection. The only thing i don't like is that the side buttons are a bit stiff but i guess they will soften up the more i use them. Overall i recommend this dualpro case.

The pics on the web for the midnight blue are truly horrible representations.
Take the TPU off the phone and really massage/push/bend the buttons on the case for a few minutes.... That'll soften them up!

The blue is very very close to Black. I would have chosen that color if they didn't make Black. I like the contrast between the Black and the White

I wanted the black as well but the price went up drastically right after the Amazon sale then it went out of stock and I couldn't find one.... Just after I got the blue Rakuten had the black for the same price. ?
I like the contrast of yours as well!

I've had this Incipio on every phone I've owned that they supported. This is the most I've ever paid for the case, normally they are $5 or $10 off Amazon or eBay. I had to pay almost $20 for this one on Amazon. I sold 2 of the 3 essential I got from prime day so I basically got the phone, USB C PD car charger, and case for free anyways.

I should have picked up a couple more phones.... Wasn't thinking!

Yeah, if I knew I'd like the device I'd have bought two or three. As it stands I like the one I have..... a lot.

I've had this one in black since I got the phone and the Tudia Glost and I always come back to this one. Best case for this phone in my opinion.

Thanks, had to decide between the Tudia and the Incipio model and I will now be going for the Incipio case!
Just got my essential phone and ordered the incipio dualpro. Any recommendations for glass protectors that would suit the incipio dualpro case? I intend to use loca for the installation. Thank in advance
All, recently bought this phone during Prime Day. Too good of a deal to miss! It looks beautiful but very wary of it staying that way so based on your various experiences what would you say is the best slimline case? The Incipio looks good but does add quite a bit of bulk to the phone...

this screen seems extremely fragile based on videos on youtube, posts on reddit and xda etc. For a phone that hasn't sold too well, it seems like there's a lot of broken screens out there. This made me decide to go for the incipio dualpro, hopefully with the additional protection, i'll be able to keep the screen intact!

I'm not sure what people are doing to their phones. I have a cheap tpu case and a plastic screen protector.
