Quick Review On My N1 Case

So I picked up THIS case from Amazon there what I think...

Pros:
-Makes typing easier
-Protects phone from scratches
-Makes phone a lot less slippery
-Nice feel in the hand
-Actually makes buttons easier to press for me
-Disguises phone (if you don't want everybody to know you have a N1)
-Stopped me from lightly tapping the outside of the screen while holding it so I don't have those inaccuracy problems because of lack of multi-touch
Neutral:
-Seems to block the bottom microphone a bit but people say I still sound crystal clear.
Cons:
-Phone doesn't look as good
-Blocks dock connectors
Should you buy it?
I think so it made my N1 a lot more usable and I feel a lot more comfortable with it now because without it my N1 feels very fragile.

I ordered this case, im glad its good, one question, is it a lint magnet?

As far as I can tell, no.

Whats' the name of that cool clock & weather widget? Been searching the market for something like that...

slightly off topic.... are you using HTC's Sense or some other apps/tweaks?

It's called Weather Widget(s) you need to get the donation version for the flip clock. No special workarounds for Sense it's just a widget that looks like HTC's flip clock

Thank you so much on that review. I just might consider on buying that case.

I have the translucent version of this case. I think it looks slightly better than the black one, though not by much.
I pretty much agree with the OP's review. The dock connectors at the bottom are blocked, so I guess after the docks come out I may be looking for something else. It's fine for now.
It does keep the camera from getting scratched up when the phone is laying on a table.
And no, it's not much of a lint magnet.

I have the same case as the OP... and I agree on his spot on review!
But... (at least for me) it is a "lint magnet".... as I think most silicon cases are.
When the "docks" come out, I think you will need to remove almost any case in order for it to fit. All "external" cases add some bulk.
My plan it to install a full body film and *still* use the silicon case.
Here is why...
I am a little anal when it comes to "protecting" my phone. I paid full price for this bad boy, and want it to last. My G1 after about 16 months still looked like it was just out of the box.
When you use these silicon cases... dust and other crap still get inside of them. Then when you take it in and out of your pocket, that stuff acts as a really fine sandpaper and after a while you will notice some wear. Now, I am not a big fan of the whole phone film protector, but I plan on keeping it hidden under my case.

How is taking the phone in and out of your pocket? Does the silicone make it more difficult?

Maybe a little microfiber or felt inside the case would make for a better fit and better protection? I'm assuming the inside is just plastic...?

Just got mine today and it feels great in my hand. Its a little bit loose around the sides, but I feel it's much more protected than with out one.

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.

I'll wait for my white to die off too.. LOL.
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......

Anyone have any experience with any of these? My dad has an s4 and is a little rough with his phones but has found other cases I've bought him to be too bulky or annoying. This one looks slim enough but can anyone attest to its durability? His birthday is coming up and he's in need of a case. Thanks!

I have one of these, I love it so far. I've dropped my phone a couple of times with no issues. The rubber sticks out on the front to keep the screen safe but it doesn't block access to the screen. Also the buttons built into the rubber part work great, unlike the other case I have that has cut outs for the buttons.
The only complaint I have is since the plastic part is glossy, the back scratched up from normal use.

great!

Sounds good. Bookmarking this as a future birthday/xmas present. We'll see how he likes it and the glossy part won't really be an issue. The way he handles phones will turn the gloss to matte in a week - but he's used to it so it's all good. Hopefully the protruding rubber on the front will be enough of a buffer for the screen to be protected from his rough hands.

Here is a photo of my case I just took where you can see the scratches.
The times I've dropped the phone since then, you can tell just from the sound it makes when the rubber hits that a lot of the impact is absorbed.

Excellent thanks. The rubber case is going to scratch a lot less than the plastic/glass that he usually destroys. I've seen him wear the color straight off a phone before. Appreciate the extra pics - sounds like a solid deal.

Thanks for the great deals sir :good::good:

The ebay site doesnt work with US ebay login, is that correct?

Rearth Ringke Slim case

I got this case on amazon for $10.99. It comes with a mediocre screen protector.
The case itself is extremely light and fits around the phone securely. It covers every edge which is nice for these light shell cases. The design is similar to OEM look.
The feel is a little slick but better than the phone metal body. I wish it were more rubbery like other slim cases I've had before.
The case I got was gold.

I have the clear one. Love it. It's the only super slim case case I could find that covers all sides and provides a small lip for face down lay on the table protection.
Edit: the black one has a soft touch feel BTW. I have that one on my M8.[emoji16]

Thanks! That's good to know. I was debating on whether to get black or gold and just randomly chose gold.
I wish the screen protector it came with was larger. It doesn't cover the entire surface and it's a weird size in that it doesnt fit the actual screen part of the phone either.

So true! I've placed many screen protectors on phones over the years and this one was by far the worst. It just didn't fit right at all I had to trash it. But it was free so I can't complain too much. I prefer glass ones now anyway.

URL for the case:
http://www.amazon.com/Ringke-Screen...429212145&sr=8-3&keywords=ringke+slim+case+m9

I had gotten the clear one, but I don't recommend it. The cutout for the camera flash is too close, and since the case is clear, the flash will reflect and cause a glare in your photos. The black and gold ones probably don't have this problem though.

Looks really sleek and I kinda like the gold one however it does look like the Huawei Mate 7. Have held this phone with this case and it sure was very light and slim. I agree that it would've been better if the feel is a little more rubbery because I am not that comfortable holding the phone with that case.

I bought this case last month when the phone first came out. I bought the clear one and it was very slim and looked very sharp. This past weekend while walking through a parking lot I went to pull my phone out of my pocket and literally threw it up in the air and it took about a 6 foot bounce off the pavement. The corner of the Ringke case is broken off but there isn't one scratch on my phone.
Now you expect a giant brick of a case like the otterbox to survive these types of falls but I don't expect an Ultra thin case to survive and I was very impressed it was able to protect my phone. Its a good case.

I would'nt had bought this case if I knew it was this slippery lol

I have one in clear and like the way it does not add bulk to the phone at all. You feel like you are holding just the phone and the clear case really shows off the two tone.

My review of the Orzly Air Stand Case with pics

Hi all,
Was able to get a hold of this case from Orzly for the Nexus 6P… Here's my review of it…
It's dual layered, both layers are made from the same material but they both have different properties. The first layer is a flexible rubber TPU and the back is a tougher harder material. The 6P is already quite a heavy device, the Air Stand case isn't too heavy so this helps to not turn the phone into a brick! The back also has a soft touch matt texture which feels good to hold in the hand, although made from plastic, it feels far from plastic. The matt coating definitely gives it a premium feel.
This is definitely the first type of case that I have seen with this particular type of design and I have to admit, it works and looks good! I have the silver 6P so through the tiny holes, you can see the colour of the device, it's not overpowering or doesn't end up looking like a pattern on a bad Christmas jumper. The patterned hole design is a thumbs up for me.
The case also features a simple kick stand to put the phone in a horizontal position. It's a feature that has been around for a while now, so although not mind-blowing, it's handy when watching anything on the phone or just keep on a table when I'm not using it.
I had a Nilkin screen protector on the device, but when I installed the case onto the phone, the screen protector began to lift. Wasn't sure if there was going to be compatibility issues so got in touch with Orzly who confirmed that the case will work with their screen protectors but can not comment on the compatibility with other branded screen protectors.
Overall I would definitely recommend this case to anyone who owns a Nexus 6P that's looking for something different. It's not quite used to what I've seen before but once tested it's grown on me and i really like it and am constantly being asked by people where they can buy this case
Here's a few pictures, if you would like to see more pictures or have any questions pls let me know

Thanks for this info, its look quite nice but I've not seen this case anywhere. Where did you buy it from and do they have them in other colours? And you mentioned dual layers, so does the inner layer have matching holes too - because i quite like the idea of the phone showing through. Final question I promise is this bulky? I know you said its not heavy but i am really not one for the otterbox style cases ...

It looks quite slim, I don't think it's too bulky. Also I saw this picture on their website which should answer your question regarding the matching holes on the inner layer.
It's dual layered around the edges which is good as the phones more likely to drop on the sides, edges or corners more than anything if you drop it!

Is the stand sturdy .... Or is it a flimsy piece of plastic? I hope to not notice it's there unless needed, then pull it out and it holds phone with no issue
What are your thoughts?

Based on the pictures alone, it looks sturdy enough, but bearing in mind it's a very small kick stand, but have seen something similar on other branded cases and not seen or heard any complaints.

Thanks for the review! Definitively one of the case's i will have to consider.

Can you use the kickstand to use the phone more easily one handed?

This looks like what I have been looking for but i am unsure of the terms used to describe it. Will this be OK for the "Honor 6 Plus" ?
