Incipio DualPro Shine case

Saw this pop up and bought one. Had the same brand/model case for my Xperia Z Ultra and it was very nice and great quality. It was the case I ended up using until I sold the phone.
I think I paid around 20 for the xperia version on Amazon... This was a little more but I wanted a case to be here in time for when I get the phone Friday. Samsung is terrible with releasing accessories on time. Who knows when the wallet will be available in the US without waiting for long shipping times from Korea.

Came in yesterday. Heres a pic while im sitting outside tmobile waiting for it to open

Got mine off of eBay

ya I got the light gray as well not a big fan of the color but really hated the cheap look and feel of the case mate that att had and despise with a passion the flip wallet. So far I really like the case and doesnt impede on the edge use, fingerprint scanner, or heart rate monitor on the back. I am taking my truck in for minor body work and was going to see if they could spray the case same color as my truck when they paint it.

Not sure if any of you care but im a holster guy and just prefer not to put my phone in my pocket unless absolutely necessary. What i found out today is the the Otterbox Defender holster for the Galaxy Note 2 fits like they were made for each other with this case.

Great find. I love holsters too

It just so happened that i still had a Note 2 Otterbox in my closet. You know how you buy a phone and buy the ridiculous over priced case and when the next big thing comes out you buy it and your stuck with that case? Well i have owned every note except for the one to include the Note 4 which my wife got when i got the edge today. I just trying out all my old holsters to see if one would fit and lucky me. I cant imagine that they are even that expensive if you can come accross one on ebay or what have you.

I miss my holster but you know what? I tried out My Seidio Surface Holster from my Note 3 last night and it fits the naked edge perfectly. It is not the spring clip holster model its is the SURFACE case holster model. You have to place the phone upside down because of the power button but it is secure. Seidio has the best cases out there. My note 3 when skidding across the parking lot 60 feet! Not a ding on the case or phone.

Is it possible to get a ccouple of pics? I had my wife snap a couple of mine and send them to me via text. I know some people may only have one phone.

Here you go.... You see a gap but the phone does not wiggle at all. You have to use it upside down but it is no big deal.

Speck Candyshell Grip

Finally got my white Speck case today. It feels great. The cutouts are wonderful, and the USB C cable fits perfectly. My only complaint is that it's a bit difficult to get the case off after you put it on. It is possible though.

Very nice, makes me wonder if I should have chosen white over black! Mine should arrive today (hopefully), do you think a TGSP will fit well with the Speck?

I'm not sure. My TGSP arrives today. It might be a tight fit. Also, I was able to perform a screenshot without any problem, which is another complaint if some other cases.

Yes very tight fit, careful taking it out. Loving mind so far, have the Google case with logo and liking the candy shell way more. Great grip.

Is the speck case overall wider than the fabric backed Nexus logo case?

Man I bought the black version but after seeing those pics I will buy the white one soon.

I have this exact case (with the same color). I highly recommend it.
It looks sleek and feels very hardy and rugged, like if I drop it I'll have absolutely no dents / scratches.
And it becomes pathetically easy to grab this inherently-slippy phone, which is the biggest plus out of all of them. Going to need it while walking in the New York City winter.

A little bit wider, dual layer and then the ridges add a tiny fraction. Dunno if I've been rough but case seems to scratch on the black easy enough. Doing its job anyhow ??

Anyone have pics of theirs with the black case, and anyone have znap to see if they fit?
Aaaand, what are the odds they'll eventually end up on Amazon, cheaper?

So did the tgsp fit?

Yup the only thing that I dislike about the Ultra Hybrid are the buttons, luckily we have the fingerprint scanner + my ROM has dt2s on status bar and navigation bar so I can bypass the buttons.
The Poetic case in my opinion has too much going on. http://smile.amazon.com/Affinity-Pr...1448348850&sr=1-2&keywords=poetic+affinity+6p
Not a fan of the words "AFFINITY" on the side.

Glad to see that you've been enjoying the ride. It's nice to run away from the Chroma dev thread for awhile, it gets a bit crazy over there.
I'm just afraid that the 15% is the best we're going to get. Probably what I'll do is I'll wait for them to reply via Twitter, and then if they don't I'll just either skip and see if there's a better deal or just go for it. The Speck case does look really good, it'd be really nice if someone who has a Speck case to give some insight on how much extra bulk it would add compared to a Spigen ultra hybrid.
I don't blame Best buy, 6P doesn't have any physical store presence so it wouldn't make any sense for them to have any inventory in stores for 6P cases if the phone isn't offered at Best Buy Mobile.

Haha I was thinking the exact same thing! I got the protection plan too... First phone with no camera bump - Woooohoooooo!
I've also only had a Galaxy s3, Note 3, Note 4, Note 5, and now Note 7.
Can't wait to get me some Google goodness! Some complain about the price point, where I say "finally a premium phone rather than 6 month old mid range specs phone .... Oh yeah that offered vanilla Android - which is awesome, but it's still a mid range phone..."

Much rather pay that for their photo cases which i really like and thinking of getting it as an add on gift as buying the phone for the lazy half's birthday. However not sure he'll like it. Torn....

I'm worried that it won't be available until after the phone releases. I really want one, but would prefer to get a case for it immediately.

I want it immediately also, I do not want anything to happen to it... When I got my S6 Edge+ I put the Otterbox on and while at the store, before it was even activated it got bumped off the counter onto the floor.
I do not like the Otterbox I have on my S6E+ because is it a smooth hard plastic and will on its own slide off of counters and other smooth surfaces... I much prefer the silicon or rubberized cases that grip.

I love the photo cases, like $40, there is a store nearby that sells phone cases, and can "print" onto Otterbox cases, but for either I am not sure how it will hold up... the problem for me with this, is that he charges $30 to print, plus the $60 for the Otterbox, and then the Otterbox has design pattern and their name embossed into the case so the picture may not look as good as on the smooth silicone case in the Play Store. Oh, and they can only print on white, and Otterbox does not have white cases yet for the Pixel.

Thanks, I didn't catch that and thought it was a TPU case. I am deciding between this one as it looks thin or a Dbrand Skin instead. I want to get the phone in hand, feel how slippery and/or fragile it feels first. The more naked the better if the phone can take a "whoops"

if only these cases would be freely distributed to first buyers... haha, just like Coby phone.

Still available to order the Clear case from Google in both sizes.

The phone has shipped but the case is still not available :-/
Google can still learn a few things from Apple. Official iPhone accessories are available and usually ship well before the phone ships.
Has anyone found anything similar outside of Google. I'm paranoid about dropping this thing particularly as I'm in a country where this is not available so will not be able to service in case of a drop.

Amazon is your best bet. I ordered my case a week ago and it should be here tomorrow. Two clear cases for 7$. Can't beat that.

Kind of pissed. I ordered three cases (around the 12th), one of the being the google clear case and they all said in stock. Then i either get emails from the companies saying sorry the case will ship out on the 28th or the arrival day is 28th-1st. Now i have a naked phone from the 20th- and i don't want to **** it up.

Spigen
I ordered the Spigen Rugged Armor from Amazon and it came a few days ago. The phone comes today. I am terrible about dropping things and recently broke my hand, so it is now worse. I prefer no case, but I drop things way too often.

Anyone know how thick the silicone is? I find it very hard to believe its 19mm which would make the case height on both sides 10.4mm which in theory makes the back a 6mm ish case. That would be otterbox big.
The other reason why I think 19mm is incorrect is that it's the same dimensions for the clear case which is noticeably thinner than the live or silicone cases.

Anyone know of a wrap that'll feel like the back of the Nexus 5

I'm not much of a fan of cases but I would love to put on a wrap on my 6p. Does anyone one of a company that might make a rubbery type wrap kind of like the feel of the back of the Nexus 5?

Don't know much about wraps, but the Diztronic TPU case feels just like the N5. It's a bit bulky and I take it on and off depending on the situation, but I've gotten more than one complement on what is a very basic black case.

Not to hijack your post, but on Slickwraps website, there are some wraps that show the fingerprint sensor covered as well, has anyone done this? Does it work ok?

Dbrand > Slickwraps

I use the Spigen's Thin Fit cover and I feels slightly rubbery, very similar to the back of the nexus 5.

Check both Dbrands and Slickwraps. I recently got the concrete skin from Dbrands but I am not to happy with them. When I order something from Slickwraps, it normally comes in a pretty timely fashion. DBrands took almost a week to just release my order. I got an email saying it was released from their Toronto facility, but when it arrived, it was sent from New York?

I wanted exactly the same thing, slickwraps didn't work, but dbrand natural series leather is working really nicely for me. Not quite the same as the Nexus 5,but adds softness and grip.

Go ahead and look at a map for once in your life. Tell me where Toronto is and where New York is. I'll wait.
They're Canadian. It's obvious to anyone who has ever opened a book that they use the USPS in NY to ship to their American customers.
I also had a package lost in transit, but they not only sent another one out within a couple days, they added an extra skin to the original order. I wasn't happy that it got lost, but they definitely made up for it with good CS.

Well that was a nice little volatile response. It just seemed odd to me that it took them almost a week to release my order. So the central office is in Toronto, and the warehouses are in New York? And crap..Toronto is in Canada? I could have sworn it was a suburb in New Zealand!

Latercase vs. Pitaka?

I have used a Pitaka case in the past on my Note 10+, and the experience was pleasant. It was a little rough around the edges/cutouts but it wasn't so bad. So I decided to order one for my 8 Pro as well. Given the pandemic, shipping hasn't happened despite ordering 4-5 days ago, and I'm considering the Latercase as a result.
Pros of the Pitaka is that it has the ability to connect magnetically to car mounts and what not, but that's about it (vs the Latercase at least). But I'm about to order the Latercase to check it out.
Has anyone had experience with the Latercase? Are they shipping quicker? Any qc issues?
I appreciate any input!

I ended up ordering both too, I'm in the UK still waiting on latercase after 10 days of getting my shipment notice. I chalk it down the covid situation because last time I ordered my latercase for my pixel 4 XL it was super fast and smooth. They can't do much since it's been stuck with DHL and has said "processed at origin".
Pitaka case just arrived yesterday and I have it on the phone.
I'm very happy with the pitaka, it's exactly what I expected, I've had one before on my pixel 2. It's fit and finish is great and the cutouts are perfect. It has a nice lip over the camera too, so you don't need to worry about placing the phone down and damaging the camera.
But since we are talking minimalist cases here, unless you need the magnetic features... I'm going to guess the latercase is what I'll stick with... Since the pitaka is slightly thicker at 0.85 where as the latercase is only 0.6, probably due to not having any magnets inside.
In addition... If the latercase is how it is pictured on the website... It has more precise cutout holes (around the flash module and autofocus) none of the phones colour is shown... On the pitaka I can see the phones colour because the cutouts are slightly too big. You can also see the phones colour show on the front and sides, which doesn't bother me in any way... I wonder how the latercase compares.
I will post an update once my latercase arrives, hopefully soon! I pre-ordered it 6 weeks ago!

In addition... If the latercase is how it is pictured on the website... It has more precise cutout holes (around the flash module and autofocus) none of the phones colour is shown... On the pitaka I can see the phones colour because the cutouts are slightly too big. You can also see the phones colour show on the front and sides, which doesn't bother me in any way... I wonder how the latercase compares.
I will post an update once my latercase arrives, hopefully soon! I pre-ordered it 6 weeks ago!

Please add some pictures of both cases on your phone

How about Air Case from Pitaka?
I'm using the mag case from Pitaka, really enjoy it. I heard about the Latercase but never used it.
Talking about minimalist cases, there's another case from Pitaka that looks minimalist, and it has no magnetic feature. It's called the Air Case. It looks better than the mag case from the picture on the site.
Has anyone had experience with that?

I recieved my latercase around a week ago. Very happy with the product and the shipping (Im Norwegian)

both of these are not designed for drop protection so its a shame

My pre order still has not arrived in the Netherlands. Good to see you are happy with it, makes the waiting worth while...

I would love to use either of the cases but until they close up the buttons and cover those along with the top and bottom on the devices they won't be a fit for me.
I like minimalistic cases like these but want every side, button, etc covered. It's 100% possible as mnml has cases like that and so do other 3rd parties cases.
If and when they do that, then I'll buy. Just feedback. Not meaning to complain.

Using the fathers days' 15 % promotion makes it £34 from pitaka. Quite a margin vs amazon.

I got both cases... Just received the Pitaka today and have been using the Later case for 2 weeks now.. by looks, both are identical.. by feel I like the Pitaka more, you can feel the metirials in the case better than the Later case... also for some reason the camera ridge is a bit higher which will give the cameras slightly extra protection... Also the later case is thinner, I guess the Pitaka has the metal liners inside the case so it feel more sturdier...
Let me know if you like to see pics of both on and off the device...

Jesus, I don't know why I didn't think to check Amazon first.
I ordered off Pitaka's website at a small discount well over a week ago and have a feeling I'll be waiting a while for the case to get here. Amazon over here has the case at full price but it'll be delivered in 2 days, that's just silly. I have half a mind to buy it and return it when the original one comes.

For anyone wondering about the Later Case, mine just arrived today, I also have one on my S20 Ultra, highly recommend, the quality and feel is absolutely spot on.......?

Those who already received the Pitaka: does the wireless charging work as promised?

Following the thread and looking forward to someone with both cases do a side by side comparison

Never buy latercase, it's a rip off of Pitaka, they even sued them. Shameful........but that's MHO.

While I'm no big fan of Lew or Latercase, the fact that it's a rip off of a Pitaka case has been rather disbursed. Yes, they are quintessentially the same in terms of looks - but they aren't identical. There's a different feel to each one and a different build quality. It's not like Lew is literally ordering his case exactly where Pitaka gets theirs from and just brands it as a "Latercase". He uses a different carbon fiber weave, his cases have a different texture/feel, and they also don't possess the magnet that's built into the case.
I have no allegiances with either company, but the Pitaka just makes sense for me because their case has the magnet that allows me to just throw the phone on the magnetic mount on my car. I'm hoping the OnePlus Warp wireless charger works with the case is all, since that's how I primarily charge the phone.
At this point I'm frustrated with the wait time with the Pitaka case. I ordered it on June 5th and it probably won't be here for at least another 4-5 days. I could've just ordered it off Amazon and got it way sooner.
How's the shipping for the Latercase looking?

Well, without the phone the case does not make sense.

I hope you have better luck with your order than I am. I ordered on the 1st. Last update was on the 6th. Emailed 3 times and finally got a canned reply yesterday stating my order had been handed off to the carrier and it wasn't their problem.
