I had that for the LG G3. I really liked it.

I always use bumper cases because it does not press on the back cover when I put Qi receivers, and also allow heat to escape from the back.
Is there anyone in here who used this Nillkin bumper case? Please tell us how it is...
I can't find it yet available in US, but it's all over ebay and amazon but coming from china...

I've got one on my phone right now, the grey one to be exact.
its nor what i'd call excessively bulky, but some people might complain over that, the screen is protected with the regular bump on the front part, its quite grippy as the back side remains accessible, the feel of the case is amazing, cutouts are perfect, materials are good, uses bumpy tpu-ish gel-ish plastic on the back and front size for the shock apsorbing, sides are made from strong plastic aswell. Buttons are easily accessible, very easy to press, but doesnt press when putting the phone in the pockets, didnt scratch the phone sides (yet) and its easy to remove even tho its a quite tight fit case.
the little backside rubber part make the phone stable on a flat surface, makes it stick a bit from the ground so the camera is protected. If you drop your phone directly on the back part on a non flat ground your camera will prolly be shattered.
Its my everyday case, would for sure recommend it (got it for about 8$ from ebay)
lemme know if you have any more questions :>

Thanks, the rubber at the front, is it loose or does it feel like it will loosen up in time? I have ordered one anyway because I like bumper cases. Thanks

Its very tight, it wont loosen as the side plastic holds it at place, its an unibody case tho, so the rubber wont separate from the plastic bit. But its quite good, disallows the specs of dust and sand to get in between the case and the metal bezels of the phone, overall i'm very satisfied with it on that area.

The grip is great, buttons work very well and it lets heat escape.
I own two spigen, uag and many cheap ones.
I prefer this one any day.
I bought the gray first. Loved it except the front part is gray.. I thought it was black like all the others with the colors on the back.
Anyway, a few weeks ago I bought the orange and I absolutely love it.
I like it so much. That I already bought the other two colors, red and blue.. ?

Rubber bumper?

I’ve been looking around for a simple rubber bumper to go around the phone (not a case, just a bumper).
Has anyone seen anything like this?

I could only find a hard plastic bumper (without back plain or clear back protection) on taobao.
Seems like no big brand make this kind nor eBay sellers have it.
Will post a picture eventually once I receive it.

They are for sale on eBay for $54 shipped, which is ridiculous, but I bought one anyway because I am desperate for this type of case and the devilcase bumper pretty much wiped out my reception. Will post pictures when it arrives, est. 1-2 weeks for delivery

Thanks... keep us posted ?

Definitely would love to see those photos and hear how the case is! I saw it on eBay the other day for $45, saw that two of them had been sold already, and wondered who would have paid that much, lol! But if the case is really good and attractive and holds up, then it's probably worth it. I really really like the look of them.
I don't want to make you worry in advance, but I did do some research on it when I saw it, and the reviews on Amazon Japan were less than stellar. But a flag for me was what I read from the machine translation in one review: "Because it is soft in the hybrid material, the gap will get tired and pulled to the left and right up and down." Hard to be completely certain, but it sounds an awful lot like it's an issue that I had with a very similar bumper case for my Z2 (actually have several of them), where it will pop off of the left side of the phone because the rubber part is soft or whatever, so the thing juts off the phone and you have to push it back, but eventually it loosens up more and just won't hold at all anymore. But those cases cost about $3 on Aliexpress or DX.com, so it's sort of acceptable. For $54, I'd expect an absolutely flawless case.
Other than that problem, though, those are my favorite or second-favorite cases for my Z2, hands down, so I really hope the ones for the Z5 do not all suffer that issue.

I've had a lot of these bumper type cases, and they pretty much all suffer that issue to some extent. I've never had one start falling off the device, but they all stretch out over time. PayPal will let me dispute the transaction for an extremely long time after purchase, so if it indeed does start falling off shortly after purchase then I will take it up with them. Hopefully they have fixed any flaws like that by this point, because they certainly are charging me as such.
The materials are obviously not worth anywhere near $45, but this is the ONLY decent looming bumper I have seen so far and tbh it does look really nice. Here's to hoping I won't be thinking about the cost too much when it comes in!
Case should arrive this week, will post pictures.

Ok so the case arrived recently, I've had it for a few days now. The summary: not worth $50 (obviously) but it looks good and the fingerprint reader is extremely easy to access. I will be keeping it so long as it doesn't start to fall off my phone or anything.
I can see where the case might pull away from the phone a little by the headset jack, so I am trying to be careful not to put much pressure on that area of the case when I take it off/put it on. Otherwise I don't think the case will "stretch" out any, as it is fairly firm and doesn't have much give. Construction quality is mostly good, although you can feel a few rough plastic edges in a few places. Not enough to bother me, but enough to notice.
Overall it's a good case, worth $20-25. My green z5 looks absolutely beautiful with the class back protector and this case, this is pretty much exactly the type of case I've been looking for.

The Spigen case is nice, as well as the very similar Ringke Fusion, but neither of these are what OP was asking for. He's specifically looking for a bumper that isn't a full case (i.e.: no plastic or anything on the back).
As for bumpers, I think there may be potential in modifying the Orzly Fusion case. It's similar to the Spigen and Ringke, but a little different—specifically for this purpose, the bumper and the back panel are more distinctly separate from each other than on the other cases. I bought one last week and I think the plastic back could be removed to leave only the bumper as a usable case. I'm just uncertain whether or not the bumper alone will hold the phone in place. The case is a tiny bit loose as it is (doesn't look loose, but you can feel the phone move a tiny bit when you move it around quickly). The plastic back supposedly scratches up easily, according to reviews, and I had the Orzly Fusion for my OPO, which did get scratched up extremely easily, but I have not experienced the same with their Z5 case, surprisingly. I had originally planned on modding the case myself once the back was ugly, but since it hasn't gotten scratched up as easily as I was expecting it to, I haven't decided to defile the case yet. I will report back on it if I do, but I figured I'd mention it as a possibility for a less expensive bumper case (it costs $11.99 on Amazon US) if anyone else wants to try it first. The Elecom bumper that redandblack posted definitely looks much nicer than this case, but it may be worth a shot for someone who can't or doesn't want to spend that much or someone who wants a thinner bumper (the Orzly case is quite minimal as far as bulk).

Not rubber, but there are lots of aluminium bumpers for the Z5 on Amazon now. Most of them are pretty cheap too. I had one before (can't remember which phone though) and it felt pretty nice, and was lined with foam for protection. Definitely a good option if you want something stylish, minimal, and reasonably protective.

I have the Orzly case and the back definitely does scratch but a simple mod with contact paper lets the case resist scratches and still look good. It's funny because the case is hard to put on but I definitely feel a little wiggle when you move the phone just right. I'm also interested in a simple rubber bumper since I thought the aluminum ones would scratch up the phone.

Add the clear contact paper as I mentioned and it should look like new with a frost effect.

Is there really no aluminum case which doesn't worsen the reception? I don't need aluminum, but there seems to be only one plastic bumper posted here, from elecom, which price is ridiculous.

I would also love a rubber bumper. I just got my aluminum bumper and I'll keep an eye out for that drop in reception you mentioned. I like the minimalism of the aluminum case but I'm curious if anyone has encountered issues with the case damaging the phone with scratches or anything.

Solutions to slippery Mi4C

Not sure if others concur, but I find the phone very slippery due to the smooth plastic back cover (referring to white version here, though not sure if colour makes a difference).
Other than installing a 'bumper' style cover that makes the phone much larger (and noticeably heavier), what solutions do you suggest?
Can the back cover be replaced with a Nexus 5 style back cover (if available)? Or are there thin stickers that can instill more grip (e.g. sandpaper finish)?

I got the darker version and yeah, the back is kinda slippery. I also looked for backstickers, like what slickwraps and dbrand are offering, but I didn't find anything.
Today I ordered the official xiaomi plastic cases and I'm curious how thick it will make the Mi4C. Maybe still thin enough that I'll keep it...

I have to admit, I am happy I ordered a case with the phone, in my situation, the Nillkin Frosted Shield. Big improvement, but if dbrand had something, I would be happy!

I hope you give a little feedback after you have it thinking of buying the same...

Yea no problem, I ordered one from China but its still not here so ordered this so should be here next week

I did he same as TheNacho. I bought a Nillkin Frosted Shield and I really like it. In my opinion the case is very thin and gives it a good grip, it also feels like a good quality case with perfect fit.
It do also give a small small edge around the screen, which covers the screen a little bit if you put the phone down with the screen downwards (or if you drop it)

I've already forgotten the hardcover Yeah, I had both. The hardcover began pretty fast to crack at the corners (because of the pressure?).
The TPU was a bit more stable, but it began to crack near the headphone jack after a while.

@rob rich got it today (came in 3 days) and its bulkier than the image on ebay. The back is not completely transparent like the rest of the case but a foggish white. But I can grip it easily and thats good for me.

Ok, I'm searching for something really really slim
I'm not afraid of let it fall (never happens to me) but I'm afraid of scratches on the back and on camera lens without case...
I'm sure there are some cool cases in China, so i would be happy if someone could point me in the right direction.

So you're not happy with the Nillkin case you got? I would suggest taking a look at AliExpress or eBay, loads of cases available there and I'm sure you'll find something good.

Bumper case - no back

I have been searching around and the only bumper I can find for this phone is from RhinoShield. Does anyone have any links to other brands/colors/styles that are available for the Pixel XL?
I currently have a $2 bumper on my S6 from China that honestly has been great but I can't find this exact one from that supplier.
Thank you in advance.

LOL! I think I have spent more time trying to find a backless bumper for this phone than the phone itself. Unfortunately it's been fruitless for me, none other than that Rhino, and that's the one I will buy later anyway.
Please do post here if there are other backless bumpers available for this phone, there are some people like me, and OP probably who just can't digest them full body cases which look awful.

Same here. I really want to add a bumper as well but am hoping for something a tiny bit smaller than the Rhino. I wouldn't mind finding a machined metal one to go along with the brushed titanium skin that I have on my Pixel.

Pixel XL Rhino Guard
I have the Rhino Guard on my Pixel Xl and I really like it. haven't dropped it to test it, but it looks sturdy. However, there are times that I would like a "lite" version of it....I've looked all over, but nothing yet.....

Ended up getting the Rhino and am satisfied with it overall. Agree it could be a little smaller but it's fine.
I kept my dbrand skin on and damaged the skin slightly while putting on the bumper over the final corner. Based on other posts I've seen i was expecting this issue. I just carefully cut the hanging piece of vinyl and got the bumper on without any noticable damage to the skin while the bumper stays on. Only if I take the bumper off will a portion of the skin be missing on the edge and corner.

I got that bumper that you linked and I would say I'm satisfied for the most part. Biggest issue is that the Pixel is a wedge shape so part of the top portion of the back side sticks out while the bottom part is covered by the case. I'm also using a Spigen tempered glass protector and the lip of the bumper case still goes above the entire tempered glass which is great. The buttons on the side are metalish so they're okay. They feel a little bit more mushier with the case on but I have to say that it the buttons weren't THAT tactile to begin with.
In terms of overall feel, it feels a lot wider even though it is just a bumper case and the metal edges makes it feel a lot more premium than plastic or rubber would. The cuts on the bumper are a bit sharp but after a week I noticed they became a lot more dull and rounded.
Overall 7/10, fairly satisfied with the purchase even though the top of the phone pops out a bit lol

I'm sub'ing to this. I kinda like that bumper case.

Received the bumper today. I have only had it on for about an hour. I know the signal well around my house and the yard and I can't say I see a difference. Quality isn't too bad and fitment is OK. The case adds very little to the size of the phone. The volume buttons are clicky but the power button isn't as clicky, although it isn't too bad. There is no lip to protect the back so when you put your phone down, the entire back sits on the surface you put your phone down on. There is a tiny lip on the front though for those who put their phones down screen first.
I need to use it in an every day environment for any other opinions. Here are some pictures.

How well does it slide into your pocket with bumper on?

Cases for the XZ3

Anyone thinking or get a case yet for the XZ3? I was looking towards a thin and transparent case. I got the bordaeux red one, so if anyone could recommend a nice clear case, that'd be great.

i will probably go for the official one, the Style Cover Touch CT70 for Xperia XZ3 but i am waiting for a review. I am really concerned about the strength of the transparent part being glued to the back part. I used to have the original for the compact x. It was super functional and beauty but after a couple of months the transparent cover detached (no hard use). On Monday i will go for something like this
https://gr.mobilefun.com/olixar-sentinel-sony-xperia-xz3-case-and-glass-screen-protector-68745
from a local store (much cheaper) until i find out more about the original, the only descent bordaeux red so far. I got a black phone by the way.
Check this, if you have not already

Lucky mobilefun has a US website.
Anyways, I was looking to get the Olixar clear one, but only the snap on case is available in the US. I might just get the Roxfit case instead, however it's not yet in stock; have to wait a few days. Thanks for these!

I have the ct70 and it's my first cover case... I'm torn because the cover blurs the beautiful screen.
Can't find many in stock options and ringke already told me they won't make one. Spigen were vague so... Waiting for now

That sucks! I was looking forward to Ringke cases. Hopefully skinomi will come out with techskins so I wouldn't have to use a case anymore. I did, however get this case on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GNFDXLK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's a nice, slim, and cheap case.

Yes I really like ringke too. For now I'm waiting on a roxfit soft case. I'm super sceptical about a glass screen protector with the curved screen

I purchased a glass protector from mobilefun, made the screen really unresponsive. So back to no protection.

You made me have second thoughts about ct70, thanks

Official case for xz3 in India other than mobilefun.?

Well, seems ringke listened.

hi, does it fit well, and all the ports and holes are well centered?
i bought a cheap the same kind of what you bought and it's terrible... doesn't fit well, and all ports and holes are not well centered!
i want a perfect one, if you can do me a favor take pictures to your phone with that case from all sides PLEASE!
thank you

Yep! It fits well. I ended up buying the Ringke Fusion X case. This case fits better. It's more snug, so hopefully no dust will get underneath the case. The front is raised too so you can place the phone face down. Corners are also well reinforced.

Just get the smart cover

It looks bulky, but really isn't.

if it was exactly like the one of XZ2 Premium... look how beautiful it is, and also it has 2 color options: clear and smoke black!

Why are there so few cases? And like no screen protectors at all? I got the impression the XZ3 was a public success.
I have the silver model and it's hard to find nice looking defense for it. Idk about the official flip cover, it doesn't look that safe really. And I've like never ever had a flip case, it might turn out being unfit in some circumstances.

I like original Sony Style Case Touch 'SCTH70' with Window and really love it
Happy New 2019 guys

I ordered the official Sony flip case from Amazon.
I posted in another thread... but I hope it works with the full screen protector I ordered. Also, as protection goes, it's hard to tell just how effective it is when dropped.

I got a Roxfit 'made for Xperia' hardshell - protection is fairly minimal tbh but it stops the phone sliding off everything!
