i just received an official response from Case-Mate regarding the fit of the Tough Case after sending them a nice email
"Thank you for contacting case-mate and for your interest in the Tough case for your HTC One X/XL phone.
We have recently identified some issues/defects with the design of the case. Some of the issues are merely aesthetic, and some actually affect the fit of the case on the phone.
The Tough case will be undergoing some revisions in the coming weeks. We do not have a definitive date on when the revised case will be available, but we expect it to be soon.
When the case is available, it will be compatible with all versions of the HTC One X/XL.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Kind regards,
Fola A

Hello my fellow case freaks, If your like me you love cases, and probably have a bunch. Well I have a lot and Im still always looking for new ones. The other day I got a promo email from Spigen about a new case they built for the iPhone 5. Its called the Slim Armor S. Its basically a revamped version of the regular Slim Armor case. The inner TPU lining is softer and delivers better button response and improves impact protection and shock absorption with its strategically designed spider-webbed interior. It also has a redesigned outer polycarbonate midsection with an improved matte finish coating that offers better grip and feel. So anyway I contacted Spigen to ask if they had any plans on releasing the improved Slim Armor S for the Galaxy S4 and I got this response.
Thank you for contacting Spigen.com Customer Service Department. Thank you for your interest in our Spigen Products!
As of now, we don’t have any definite plans to make the Slim Armor S for the Galaxy S4 yet. However, if there is increased interest from our customers, we may change our production plans in the future. Please check our website, facebook, and twitter pages for any updates time to time.
So this is my reason for the post. I am hoping anyone else that would be interested in a new Slim Armor S for the S4 would contact them and ask also. If they receive enough interest maybe they will. I tried to find an easier way to contact them but unfortunately I couldnt. You have to register here , then go here to create a help ticket. Leave it at "To Do", then write in a topic. Then under that choose "product inquiry" from the "Department" drop down. Leave the "Assign an Order" blank. Then you just write a quick message asking about the possibility of a new Slim Armor S for the Galaxy S4. Heres what I wrote originally as an example.
"Hello. I just received an email from Spigen showing the new Slim Armor S for the iPhone 5. It is a very nice case. I was wondering if you had plans to create and release a Slim Armor S for the Galaxy S4. I have the S4 and love my other Spigen cases for it, and would love to see the Armor S for it as well. I buy and review a lot of cases, and think an Armor S for the S4 would be a great addition to an already awesome line up of cases. Anyways just a suggestion. Thanks"
Hopefully that will work. But it definitely wont if they dont get any interest. Thanks for your time.

Done. I like the new Gunmetal and Silver colors so hopefully this will be made available for SG4 as well.
If they release a matte white one, that'd be very tempting even though I already have a white SA. The matte finish on the SA I got for my friend's iPhone 5 is pretty fantastic.

No kidding about matte finishes. Will never understand the allure of shiny plastic. Make matte versions of a case and ill buy it. As for the softer TPU id be down. Im a bit of a case collector and I definitely enjoy the neo hybrid i have

I prefer Spgien Impact Protection [Resilient] Case
spigen by far http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/accessories/spigen-neo-hybrid-spigen-s6-t3044005
although i do have my eyes on a case by Obliq http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...=as2&tag=cstrike0a-20&linkId=SKPM4Q4WCTKQAQCK
very similar to the Spigen Neo Hybrid, except you get 3 different Interchangeable frames:
Slim case and a film protector would complete the protection I need for such beautiful S6 Edge. There's lot of accessories that are on sale right now, so it would be great to check em out. There's one that's really,really affordable- KlearCut screen protectors
I can't justify the prices of Otterbox right now. iirc it will be around $40~
This is an Otterbox alternative at less than half the price. i have one on preorder, from my experience Spigen cases are just as high quality.
Spigen [HEAVY DUTY] Tough Armor it comes in 4 different colors
this is also another option:
Obliq [HEAVY DUTY] comes in 6 different colors.

im looking to buy this case for note 4.. i have a normal tpu so far and it scratched my phone all over the metal
do you recommend this case? i dont want to damage my phone more.. is it metallic in the inside? because if it is it will scratch it i think
I wonder which original case from Oneplus will be the best for Oneplus 6?
I never had Oneplus phone and I don't know this cases.
Could You explain me difference between Bumber Case and Protective Case?
I think about carbon. I would like to choose case that will the best protector for my phone. This is the most important for me. I consider only original cases. I will buy original screen protector too.
From specification I see that Bumber Case is heavier 25g vs 11g. So I think that will be better
I've owned both the OnePlus 3 and the OnePlus 5. In my experience, the bumpers are no more then just fancy shells for the phone that don't exactly feel like the offer that much protection to the phone, and I ended up buying Tudia full body cases for both phones. If you want a OnePlus case though, go with the Silicone one - had that for my OP5 and I loved it honestly. However, I feel that OnePlus cases are more crafted for their style than they are for the protection they offer (which is quite depressing, as the Sandstone cases felt so nice to hold in your hand), so you might want to consider looking elsewhere for a case.
As for screen protectors, the tempered glass ones by OnePlus themselves are usually the best, but a lot of cases don't work with them (including the Otter Box case offered by OnePlus). Third party TGSPs are cheaper, but they aren't 3D and often let dust slip in underneath. I ended up slapping a OnePlus TGSP onto my OP3 and then adding a Tudia full body case with a built in screen protector, and that thing survived so much abuse (and is still kicking actually).
I actually had the Carbon case with a OP tempered glass screen protector on my OP5, and the case did nothing to absorb the impact from a fall at work and shattered the glass. The case was nothing more than a hard plastic shell honestly.
But that's just my two cents
I'm gonna wait for third parties first. Till then a poach is the way for me.

Get the OnePlus carbon bumper, top quality made by EVUTEC. The bumper case protects more. The normal case does not protect the top, bottom and buttons that well.
@Ph0enix_216
Thank you for your wide useful opinion.
Do somebody know will be spigen neo hybrid for Oneplus 6?
I used this case for note 3 and was great as a protective case.
Saved few times my phone.
I think I will buy original case during buying phone because free shipping is from 100 euro so it's better to buy with phone.
But if spigen will be good I will buy too
Would love to get the iron man case from the avengers edition

Looks like the 3rd parties have already gotten started! Just had a look now for mine, and seems like Orzly already have a few up on amazon.
Some are on pre-order but others seem to already be in stock already. (unbelievable how quick some of these 3rd parties are getting organized these days).
The phone's barely been announced!
Anyways, here are the ones I've found from them:
Their version of the silicone (I think they call theirs a FlexiCase)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D3Y8WPP/&keywords=OnePlus+6+case
Their version of the bumper (they call theirs a Fusion Bumper as it has a clear back so you can see the phone whilst still having the decent protective rim in an actual color)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D4MDMD1/&keywords=OnePlus+6+case
The Wallet Case (this is the type that I normally get, so I can use the built in stand for watching videos on my phone)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D3Y246N/&keywords=OnePlus+6+wallet+case
The Lux Case (this style I've not seen before).. Looks like it does the credit card storage thing, but is more of a leather back than the full wallet. (I kinda never use the credit card storage anyway, so it's like they removed the bit I actually use (ie the stand), but kept the bit I don't use (the credit card bit!) haha. Would probably be useful for carrying rail cards though.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D4P3BGQ/&keywords=OnePlus+6+leather+Case
I normally get my glass screen protectors from them, as they're usually a better fit for the OnePlus phones, but I can't seem to find them yet. But if anybody spots them, let me know.
Like Orzly bumper one. so far looks best solution as I don't see transparent original case yet.
Am Gonna pre-order that case and be happy

You might as well go for a OnePlus case if you're grabbing the phone anyway. You can usually get it cheaper I'd you buy it bundled with a screen protector or something, too.
Spigen typically does make cases for OnePlus devices, but if I remember correctly, they took *forever* to release one for the OnePlus 5. I don't remember seeing one for sale until at least six months after the OP5 launched.
I like the looks of nylon case, and expect it to feel great in hand , if I go by reviews. It also offers decent protection and is the most unique OnePlus case this year IMO

It looks like they actually offer some decent protection this year too — they cover all edges of the phone, whereas previous cases tended to leave the top and bottom edges exposed.

Yeah, I plan to widen my support this year to at least two devices with Qualcomm.
HTC u12+ and oneplus 6 are the chosen ones to mess with some kernel stuff as usual

Both very interesting devices. I will either get:
Oneplus 6 or 6T
HTC U12+
Essential Phone 2
It will be interesting. Currently leaning towards Oneplus 6.

I agree the nylon case is stunning. But don't forget to factor in it is PC+TPU case while the Carbon Fiber is only a TPU case. But because of this, the Nylon case is 58.5% thinker and 28% heavier than the Carbon Fiber one. Now we are talking about millimeters and grams, so they aren't going to be drastically different, but it swayed me.
Nylon. It has a soft touch lining and that rugged shell - also full coverage. Looks nice too.
I got my 6 a day early and also got the nylon case. Very, very cool.
I ordered carbon Bumber Case. I think carbon will be better, more durable material thank nylon one.
In case of drop for example

To anybody who got the nylon case, how is it?
Is it really thick and bulky, or do you think it's nice? I don't want something like those old OtterBox cases that everybody had which would turn a phone into a brick haha
Looking at Amazon to seeing what cases were available for prior Nokia phones (8, 6.1, 6, etc) selection looks horrible. Nothing but cheaply made Chinese cases that usually have poor fit and finish.
I have simple wishes for a case: slim as possible, tpu (no PC hard), black (no yellowing clear), matte (not slick & oily), good fit and finish (ports aligned and no injection flashing), simple design (no fancy carbon look, fake leather, protruding corners, unneeded designs like chamfered edges, dual layer, etc) , and good tactile buttons. Best example is this case I use on my iPhone 8.
If I don't see a some quality cases pop up, I may just cancel my order before it ships, and wait and see if a case ever comes.
/rant over
I too have been unsuccessful at finding a decent case for the 7.1. I saw exactly the same junk cases that you found on Amazon and no known case manufacturer has yet to show one.
Let's hope somebody steps up. I like that case that you linked to as that type of case is what I prefer as well.
Deleted, missed the preference against carbon fiber style.
In the UK MobileFun are promising some cases in 2-3 weeks:
https://www.mobilefun.co.uk/nokia/7-1
Obviously we have yet to see them but perhaps it's a sign that manufacturers are gearing up to make cases for this mobile.

Thanks for the link. I had seen those and would probably buy the Slim Crystal case if I can't find anything else. I don't care much for flip cases myself.
I and I think the OP too were hoping some of the more well known manufactures (Spigen, Tudia, Otterbox, etc) would have something. Time will tell I suppose.
Amazon is now showing the clear Nokia case but has it at a one to three month lead time!
https://www.amazon.com/Nokia-7-1-Ca..._rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=PNHYBFSBB5NMJMZAZ8C1
Looks as though even Nokia themselves haven't got any cases for 7.1 for sale:
https://www.nokia.com/en_gb/phones/accessories
As they already have manufacturing arrangement for cases for their other mobiles, it wouldn't have been a bid deal to have cases for the 7.1 ready for the launch.

Thanks for the link too, I now have another place to watch for a clear case for the 7.1.
Most of the cases listed on amazon are terrible, in terms of quality or aesthetic. Maybe more will pop up after the release of the device. However, for now It looks like it doesn't have decent one.
The only case that looks somewhat decent is this: https://www.amazon.com/KuGi-Scratch...&sprefix=Nokia+7.1+,aps,191&sr=8-8&ref=sr_1_8
I say it seems decent because the same case is made for Pixel 3 and actually got glowing reviews.
I have my Nokia 7.1 and yes the lack of readily available cases is killing me. Even my go to stores in China are saying delivery by Black Friday!

I actually ordered that one but the "in stock" date keeps slipping. It was Oct 31, then Nov 1 now it's Nov 4th. Two days after I was supposed to receive it! Not promising at all.
I contacted both D-Brand and Slickwraps. Neither plan to make skins for the 7.1. They both say sales are far too low to justify development.
Got the Kugi in the mail, and agree with the reviews it got for the Pixel 3 version. It’s nicely made, with no machine molding marks and generally good fit & finish. Quality is up there with bigger names, and is not the typical China case. I don’t have the phone, so I can’t comment about camera, port, etc alignment.

Got mine, overall like the case, Its minimalist and good quality from design perspective.

They bumped up my delivery date of my official Nokia case from January to next week so here's hoping
Mines was moved up to Monday ( oem clear case) hope it doesn't change have the kugi back case on now.. Also ordered tempered glass screen protector hope they are good..
Nokia 7.1 official clear case is in stock for purchase at $10 with free shipping at Amazon.
I just got my official Nokia case. Just wanted to let you all know that it is NOT a hard plastic case. I still am waiting for my hard case from China but here are pics of the official case:
I am finding it difficult to get a good leather flip case. still no choice! I have bought a very crappy one for 5£ otherwise wouldn't be able to use the phone.
I have left emails with a few companies. but so far the answer has been negative
