Hi guys. Does anyone have this case in Black or Gunmetal? If so, could you please tell me the texture of the case because I just got mine in White and the texture is much less "rubbery" than the Black one I got for my Nexus 5. The nice grippy rubberized texture is one of the reasons why I bought this case. But Im disappointed and wondering if this is uniquely a White color issue? I miss the feel of the back of my Nexus 5 and wondering if I should exchange it for the Gunmetal or Black color to get that rubberized texture. Thanks in advance.

Mine (black) seems to be about the same texture as a Nexus 5. Adds a good bit of grip to the phone.
I wrote a detailed review of this case in both black and gunmetal in my case OP. The black one has a Nexus 5 rubberized texture as another member mentioned while the gunmetal is slippery and has a plasticity feel.

Thank you. I did read the review but didn't see any mention of the gunmetal color. It appears that BOTH the gunmetal and white color have a more slippery and plasticity feel to them. The black color is the one that have a more rubbery feel reminiscent of the Nexus 5. Looks like I got the wrong one for my need

I know I wrote up a bit on it, but I might have forgotten to post it I'll double check and add it later today if it's not there like you mentioned.
The black one is the only color with that finish for future reference.

Please post the additional review for the black color so future readers will know the difference. I'm sure they will find the information useful. Thanks!
Edit: I meant to say the GUNMETAL color, not Black.

If you read my reviews (assuming you didn't based on your response), then you would see that my review was for the black colored case, and the gunmetal was the one I needed to add. I will post my comments about it, and the pictures at some point today (most likely just post the comments because I need to charge my DSLR's batteries).

Hey guys.
Received my Poetic bumper case today and I'm really enjoying it. Currently I have 3 cases, the official bumper case, the rearth ringke and the poetic borderline (aka bumper).
So far I really like this case, and in a TL;DR version, I think I'm going to use this case over the other two. The reason I like this case it that it shows off the unique Nexus 4 backplate while still offering some degree of protection. You'll see in the photos below that there is a small, yet noticeable raise on the sides of the case to prevent the phone from coming into contact with any flat object. I think I'll be choosing this case over the official bumper because this bumper case a slimmer profile and adds less bulk. My first impression with the official case is that it made the phone harder to hold (for me personally).
The covers for the buttons work well and I enjoy the feel of the case overall. The price I got this for (right around $6) and the quality make this case feel like a total steal.

Take a look at the pictures and let me know if you have question. Hope this helps, cheers.
Come on man! We already have an entire thread dedicated to this case... With a bunch of pictures. No need to create a new thread. lol
Thanks for the review bud. Mine should be coming in soon.
I'll add that to my collection
Thanks for your review. I ordered this case and it shipped, but I haven't received it yet. Now I can't wait! I have the official bumper too and I'm now glad I ordered this one too.

Should post your review there
I just received mine yesterday, and today i realized it was uneven, it turns out there is a rip on the top left corner, i don't how it happened or what caused it, because i didn't drop it or anything. I contacted costumer service and waiting for a reply. But I really do like the look and feel of this case

The flash on my camera made the gray look lighter than it normally appears. I honestly don't mind it, and if you're in a financial position to be able to gamble $9 I would say try it out.

I already bought it, $9 isn't a problem. Just prefer the black/black color setup.
I've taken a look at numerous amounts of pictures. It looks good, just wish grey was black but we'll see how this turns out. Only because I want to show off the back
Got mine today. It really is very nice. I actually like it more than the official bumper. It's very nice, slimmer and doesn't have the double bezel like the official bumper. Also, it didn't lift up my best skins ever back protector or screen protector.

Just ordered my poetic bumper off ebay and now I'm looking to get a full body XO skin. Could anyone suggest either the regular XO cut or the case cut?
Does it make the phone less slippery? My other cases are not good for wireless charging
And in 2-4 weeks you'll all be signing a different tune when it starts peeling apart. It's a good case until then though. I had two that both starting falling apart so I got my money back and went with the official bumper.
That looks even bigger than Google's bumper. And I couldn't use one without some back protection. I love my Fosmon(?) TPU case.

I searched and didn't see a review for this case. I picked it up yesterday at T-Mobile I had a Ringke Slim prior to this case, I liked the Ringke Slim but I am so paranoid about dropping my phone and not having enough protection, primarily the top and bottom and the corners of the phone.
The Body Glove offers full protection for the Nexus 4. The case is a hybrid hard/soft case. The inside of the case is a "durable gel material" which extends out to the outer edges of the case so that if the phone drops face down it won't land on the glass. There is also gel material on the outside of the case covering the power and volume buttons as well as the back of the case for some slightly added grip and so when the case is placed down the hard plastic won't be touching whatever its laying on.
The case feels rather good in the hand as it does not add any significant weight or thickness to the phone which is awesome. Body Glove did a great job on keeping the ergonomics of the phone while the case is on. My only real complaint is Body Glove could have added more grip to the case. The little groves they added to the back of the case helps some but I think it would help with grip more if the groves were vertical and not horizontal.
Will add more pics of the case on the phone as well as comparison pics of the Ringke Slim.

My review is that it looks hideous.
Great review!!! It really don't look bad in person but I dont think any case really looks great anyway, to each their own I guess.
I also own this case and I have to say it's amazing, I feel like my phone is very protected and looks great. I was looking on amazon for weeks for a good case but I felt everything else was really cheep, the nova is a great looking high quality case and I wouldn't get anything else!
it looks stromtrooper-ish
they have an all black version if this particular one doesn't suit your taste. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BODY-GL...969187?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item23284cada3
Sad tht in India, we have less choice to get accessories , as I have got the phone through relative living in India.
I picked up the same case and I love it. Buttons feel good. Full all around protection. Color choice was pink or white and that's the only draw back imo

This case looks so nice , im debating on getting the black one or the white. Op could you post more pics of the case on your phone please?
Would like to see pictures of the black case if someone has gotten it yet.
I just ordered the black one from daydeal. Com 22.99 free shipping. I'll post pics once I get it.

I just picked this up today. So far it fits great and the buttons feel good I just wish the edges weren't as boxy.
Anyways I took some pictures for you. The one with the screen turned on shows what looks like white splotches around the edge, but that's a reflection of something because the case shows some chrome on top and bottom. I couldn't get good lighting and the tablets camera sucks with no flash.

This case is just like the seidio active just with better fit due to more structure from the shell. The seidio is nice but doesn't have enough points of grip making the silicone underneath move a lot and letting in dust and particles.

Can anyone compare it to the Ballistic case?
Does it give more protection?is the quality better?thanks
Thanks to all providing pictures.
How do the buttons feel ?
The inner silicone gel case looks thinner than similar dual layer cases (and i presume it cannot be separated from the outer shell as well) . Does it feel like it will give enough protection for a 4/5 ft concrete fall ?
Ooooh! This case is nice! I wish I would've bought this before I bought my Ringke Fusion.

I think the white one can only be bought directly at a tmobile store.
The black one is really nice, had a plain black body glove for my HTC one s the same kind and it had great protection I really recommend the body glove ones

Hey guys, I just saw an unboxing video of white N5 and the bezel to my eyes look shiny
Can anyone confirm that? I want it to be all matte
http://youtu.be/Mfbl3Tbso78?t=46s
Yes, unfortunately the black and white have different sides and backplates, the black seems to be a more traditional softtouch material like on the black One X while the white seems to be a more polycarbonate type material, the sides of the white also seem to be a Galaxy S type plastic, the white looks nicer to me from the back atleast, but the Black one is slightly more nice to hold, both have good build quality though! Hope this helped (Btw, im in the UK, we've had it since the launch, you can go in and pick one up from the local phone shop

Thanks a lot...I'm a bit unsatisfied with the design they used in the white version but it doesn't matter to much, I plan to use a case. And just for the record I did manage to order from Play Store the white model and also bought a SPIGEN ULTRA HYBRID case on Amazon. Can't wait for it

Same set up with Spigen screen protector for $8.58 from amazon. Can't wait.
I was going to get the black one but cpw messed up my reservation so ended up with white and have to say I'm actually quite pleased they did. The gloss sides give the effect of the glass and edge all being one solid piece and the back doesn't instantly become covered in slimey fingerprints as the black one they had on display appears to do. The different material should also avoid it looking dirty very quickly and a quick wipe with a baby wipe should be all it needs remove any grime that does eventually build up.
Think I'll be staying commando.

I have the silkwhite version of the op6 and thought about buying some dbrand stickers but realized I would be hiding the amazing colors on the phone.

Its good...finishing is always good...grip bit better than midnight...
honestly i had the camo but took it off because the texture is annoying and slippery. I cant see how a skin (maybe besides glossy) could make it grippier than the glass back
This is my dbrand skin:
I ordered a couple days ago their new "Matrix" pattern.
It looks good on the website.
(had dragon skin from dBrand on my OP5, liked it a lot, and later the camo from another brand, which was not so great fit).
Will report here when I get it (cheapest shipping means might be a couple weeks lol)
Had anyone that has the red Oneplus gotten the matrix? How does it look on the red version?
I ordered my Dragonskin dbrand skin before I got the phone. I've had it on there within 30min of having the phone. I don't even know what a naked OP6 looks like anymore.
Love the skin though.
Black Matrix dbrand skin.. Looks very good..!!
Looks great. Could you share a few more pictures? Is the grip better with the matrix skin? I have a dbrand black camo skin on mine with the a white one plus logo... Love the look. But the matrix looks awesome too.

Yes, grip is better than black camo skin.. I have mine without any white skin in One Plus logo as you may see. Just plain and simple.. But I definitely recommend this Skin...

I love that one. It will be my next one, I have this.
Hi, I received my case Tech21 and I can tell you that it is superb. The grip is very good the contours of this case are all simply sublime. At first I wanted to take the rhinoshield and I changed my mind because it is too thick compared to the Tech21 and the slider button on the shell I do not like at all. This one is quite fine with a unique design and a nice opaque transparency which makes it even more attractive. we have a good impression when we hold the oneplus 6 with. I wanted something other than TPU and I was looking for a shell shock i does not regret my purchase. I will post photos for those interested.

Definitly a good choice, but only for the white and red OP6 i think. I would have prefered a black variant too. Anyway, the Evo Shell i've bought is a nice choice, too. The quality is great and Tech21's service is outstanding! Got 2 cases replaced in the past without any issues.
Yes me too i would have prefer a black version but the transparent is also good. I got the midnight black version and on the sun the case make a really good rainbow effect which is beautiful. Sometime a little blue with a purple color. I like it.
