Evocel Case (Slim Armor) - X 2014 Accessories

It looks like a spitting image of a Spigen case. It does look nice just wonder how much bulk it adds, I know I sound like a broken record but I do not like cases that add too much bulk.
I have a Spigen case for my Nexus 5, and it is very nice but adds a lot of bulk.

yea i agree with this i had a spigen neohybrid for nexus 5 made it thick. and since its not rounded like the case in the back you lose the functionality of the rounded back where you can tip the phone one way or another for the display when its on its back. but i like it too.

Can any one confirm if this case has a flat back?

one of the reviews on amazon claimed it did indeed have a flat back, thus rendering the "rock to activate active display" feature unusable

Pictures anyone?

The case is freaking awesome. By far the best case I've ever bought for any phone. I would post pics but damn Tapatalk won't let me.

Update:
The case kept hitting/pressing on the volume rocker and power button which lead to constant bug reports being generated. Sucks cuz it was a great case. It took me a while to figure out wtf was happening lol

I bought one, we will see how she goes. Looks badass though.

I also picked one up on amazon yesterday. Will post some pics once it arrives.

Got the case
I got the case in blue. The price is right for sure. I actually love the case because it makes it angled and square. The buttons on the side feel awesome to click now too. The cons are that after two days of having it in my pocket the outside blue plastic corners are picking up the black from my pockets. That's the only issue really, my headphones and charger fit perfectly on it and it feels snug, there is a slight bend in the rubber at the top but NBD. Also, the plastic outside is mat, not shiny though the pictures would have you believe otherwise. Let me know if anyone else wants detail or pics.

how thick does it make the phone?
anyone try the BRILA cases also?

I am getting my replacement today... I will post some pix

eh, mine comes tomorrow lol impatient

size
About 1.5cm, still fits in my pocket, all good. Gonna pick up a darker colour one today because the blue edges are turning dark.

It does some damage on the leather back

Had the same issue, not using it for the moment will see if it goes away with time

I experienced the same issue, had to send it back for a refund. Other than that I was really impressed by the case as a whole.

I like the case too but leather... I wish some well known brand release something to US!!!

This company is legit. I got a replaced back for the color because it got messed up. They were super cool about it.
"I went ahead and included the Shadow Blue case for you, thinking that this color might wear the best. We hope that our effort to assist you shows that we care about you and if you can send us a quick note when you receive the package, that will be much appreciated. Thank you very much, Matt, and please have a wonderful evening!"
These guys have my respect.

Crystal Skin Gel Case?

Does anybody have good photos of one of the crystal skin cases on their N1? I'm on the verge of ordering one, but I want to get a better look at how much bulk it adds. Most of the pics on the sites I've found are low res or at a bad angle.
Thanks.
IS this what you're talking about?
http://www.overstock.com/Electronic...d=123620&fp=F&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=12517446
If so, I'm wondering if anyone has tried these..?
i have one... its really nice. Very snug fit and has all the cut outs for 2nd mic, speaker, flash, ect...
well made and highly recommended. especially at such a cheap price.
attached a couple of pics with the case on my nexus... hope this helps.

Its similar to the cases for the mytouch/ magic but not as sturdy, probably because the phone is thinner and is really really snug. Unlike the silicone cases you cant pull this off just taking it out of your pocket.
The case thickness is slightly higher than the camera on the back which protects it somewhat from scratching the plastic lens cover.
On the front the ridge is high enough to prevent accidental screen touching tap the edges of the screen.
The buttons are still easily operable and does not interfere with the charger, mics, or speaker at all. It does cover two of the three gold connectors so it might be a problem when the docks come out.
I just ordered the very same case on ebay, along with the clearfreak screen protector.
Case seems to fit snug. Nice!!
Looks a lot better than I imagined.

Can you try your slip in case that the google nexus came with and let me know if it slips it quite well?

It doesn't fit, if your force it in, it might go in but you would have a tough time pulling it out.

I bought one because I'd rather not have my phone all scratched up. I will be attempting to remove the pattern when it arrives, probably with some nail polish remover first and then onto some acid.

This is what my wife is wanting... just want to make sure its snug, looks of quality, and has all the necessary holes cut out.

Agreed +1.
Yeah. I love the material, clarity, and fit (I have the green one) but I don't care for the pattern. However, I realized that I don't actually see the pattern all that often so it doesn't bother me. I'm thinking of getting another; I got mine from Amazon (it was on there at least the day before the phone was announced) and I might get the blue one next.
I found a smoke-colored one on Ebay. I guess I'll pick up the smoke one, as the back of the phone is dark-gray, the checker pattern doesn't stick out as much as the white (or green or blue or red or purple) one.

I just got mine today. I love how snug the skin fits on the N1 and also the pattern isn't so ugly in person. IMO this is currently the best body protection for the phone and it's worth every penny spent on it.

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?

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.

Beer Case (heavy-duty)

Was checking out eBay cases and found this gem.

I'm not associated with this seller/auction, HOWEVER, I have purchased this exact case (but in all black) from this specific seller and can recommend both. It's a three-piece case with silicone in the middle and a hard (but slightly grippy still) front/back that snap together. I think this is really the most protective case available so far for the Nexus 4. And unlike many other cases that snap, this one makes me feel a bit more confident that the small plastic pieces aren't going to break like they do on so many cheap cases. That said, I've only had this case for a week, so we'll see...
The cutouts are perfect, buttons feel great, and if I were going to drop my phone or knock it off of the table, I'd really be hoping I have this case on it when I do! Ultimately, I got this as my going-to-the-gym case, otherwise I use a Meifeng. But it is a beast of a case - don't get this to be anything but a beast, and a mug o' beer, of course!
If you want to search for the other designs for this case, search for "e960 case tuff" (no quotes) on eBay.
Also, I *am* able to charge my phone on the LG Qi pad with this case on. It must be *perfectly* placed but it charges just fine then. If you take the back hard plastic piece off, then you can move it around much more.
"Oh Yeah! Time for a Beer!"
LOL... Might lose it in a night club or at a bar!
Only if we knew if it fit any of the Seidio holsters active or surface, I'd be all over this like white on rice (don't worry, I'm Asian lol)
That case looks awesome!
Could you post some pictures of how it fits onto the phone?
Interesting.:laugh:
Found this on ebay yesterday, really like the case and am going to buy it! I thought of getting the beer style, but as I will take this case with me on drinking nights, I advised myself not to buy the beer style, because I might be raising my phone instead of my glass occasionally!

It wouldn't take you long to realize your mistake...
Just received the white black version of this case. Its actually pretty nice. It feels good in hand and looks like it would protect the phone pretty well.
The only cons are, it has a weird smell, pretty strong plastic smell and also proximity sensor doesn't work too well, like for it doesn't work for phone calls.
FYI

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.

Adopted case

Anyone with a 6p try it with the adopted case bought from the Google store?
If so how is it?
Sent from my Nexus 5
I've got the case but the 6p comes in tomorrow.
The case is decent quality but very ordinary looking. The biggest issue which is a deal breaker for me is the fact that it's very difficult to take screenshots due to a design flaw in these cases. The ridges on the inside of the case don't line up perfectly with the buttons. Try it yourself and you'll see what i'm talking about.
My phone is on route

Also this case causes issues if you use a tempered glass screen protector and causes it to either lift up or issues with the edges of the case going over the glass.
Frosty!

As others have said, the case is decent but not without issues. It is a plain TPU case with nothing particularly special going for it. It is probably a little overpriced for what you get; Diztronic and others will be releasing similar cases for cheaper if you can wait.
It does cause issues taking screenshots, though they are not insurmountable; you need to be careful how you press buttons through it to do so. As someone else said, it is incompatible with some of the current screen protectors. I tried the intelliARMOR, but they are a no go together. IntelliARMOR is working on a revised version of their protector.
Overall, I like the case. It is of good quality and it looks good, if plain. The black one looks good on my aluminium phone with the silver fingerprint sensor giving it some flair while not looking out of place.
I prefer the microfiber backed case though. It is essentially the same case with the same problems, especially the overpriced part, but with a different look, feel, and better grip.

Sure! Give it a few weeks for the phone to get here...
Here you go.
The case is ok. Not bad, but not great. The cutouts could be a lot better and on the front, the case covers too much of the edges imo. Kinda hard to swipe from the edges if you use that functionality a lot in apps. I should've probably waited for something else but this one looked pretty slick on the google store. Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I really like the Adopted case, it fits nicely and snuggly without adding too much bulk. It does look a bit plain and of course like any other case it hides a lot of the beauty of the device...yes...including the visor which it has grown on me over the days.

I've had some issues with 3rd party USB C cables. The cutout on the case for the USB isn't large enough. I'm thinking about enlarging it but haven't decided just yet what to use.

I thought about using a soldering iron. I'm not sure how he did it though without deforming the cutout. An iron doesn't generally remove material it just sort of melts it away and pushes it back.
Also, this is such a thin device that if you remove much you risk separating the cover completely at the charge port. I'm not convinced you can remove enough for many 3rd party cables. It almost requires a different case design.
Does anybody have a 50% code off for adopted case they dont need? Would greatly appreciate it.
