Hello, pretty new to this forum, but just wanted to thank everyone for the help in advance. I know there are similar threads and there is a master thread for cases, but I've looked though most of it and was unable to find a solid answer.
Basically, I am looking for a semi transulent thin case for the HTC One XL (US Version) that provides a lip for camera protection. I have found some interesting models online, but I am unable to figure out if they would be comptabile with the US version. If anyone could link me or provide insight on the fit to the US model that would be great.
I have listed below a few names of possible cases that I need verification on for fit to US version.
Nillkin Hard Cover Case (White)
HTC HC C700 Ultra Thin Hard Shell Case (Clear) <--- Would be my favorite option, but most concerned about fit
BENKS Magic Cookies <--- Looking for a place to buy this, but also concerned about fit
Once again, I understand that there are similar threads, but this thread is mainly concerned with the fit to the US version of the HTC One X.
Thanks again.
My wife and I both use this case: http://www.amazon.com/Cimo-S-Line-Back-Flexible-Case/sim/B007WGFNHU/2
It fits the US version perfect for me. Provides a lip for the camera, translucent/clear and really shows off the phone, good grip on the sides, and it provides enough protection for small drops. My only negative would be the power button was a little hard to press on mine at first but it's fine now and wasn't ever an issue on my wife's.

I'm glad you started this thread because that is exactly the situation I'm in. I wouldn't want the tpu case posted above though because those clear tpu cases have always yellowed very quickly for me. I'd prefer what you described in a non-yellowing clear or translucent hard case with a tiny lip on the front to protect the screen when placed screen down.

That being said I still just ordered one of those TPU cases from Amazon since they're having a 60% off sale right. I figured for 3 bucks and change including shipping it would be worth a shot.
Use coupon code onexsale at checkout if you're interested.

I've had mine since day one and hasn't yellowed at all. I do notice a slight blue since its in my pocket most of the time but my wife's still looks completely clear.

I actually ordered the TPU case that you linked to, but I am still interested in a hard back case. If anyone has any ideas that would be great.

Just went to order one of these but Amazon won't ship to Australia and their eBay listing is $15USD postage!!! That's crazy!
For the benks case, it seems like a perfect fit for our HOX:

What he said
I think people make a big deal about the size difference. 0.42mm longer is barely any difference, and it's length which most cases don't cover.
I think the only problem case wise you'll find is with cases with pogo pin cutouts, they won't align. Other than that you'll mostly be fine. (opinion)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PU-LEATHER-...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item2576d5cc20
What do ya'll think?
Am I right to guess that there won't be many cases available for this phone?
I kinda like it, reminds me of those leather pouches that used to come with BlackBerry's. Picking up a black one probably.
Remember that the Nexus 4 is significantly larger than the iPhone 4 (which is the model phone they have used for the case) so the case may be too small for it. :/
iPhone 4:
115.2mm H
58.66mm W
9.3mm D
Nexus 4:
133.9mm H
68.7mm W
9.1mm D
However those cases look really good for the price. Hmmmm...
Looks like a nice case. I'll certainly consider this as one of my leading contenders for a day-to-day holster for my N4. Thanks for the link.
I ordered this one to protect the phone until I get a case for it, it fits the Galaxy S 3 so it should be able to fit the LG Nexus 4:

Well the title says it's for the LG Nexus 4? Think they just made it according to measurements, or made a mockup of some sort?
I really like that brown one lol

Thanks! Might order 1 in case I got tired of bumper case.
Id definately buy one of these but have smilar concerns as the poster above, nowhere on there does it give you the dimentions
If they're designed for and Iphone 5 then it isnt going to fit an N4
Stret
I will pick up a HTC sensation xl leather slip case. The dimensions look about right and should suffice until something better is released.
Looks like the One X cases would also work, think I will get this for now: http://goo.gl/iVzQ4
I did ask the seller if it would fit the Nexus 4. He/She said that the case would fit and is the XL case. So I guess the picture is just stock?
For £2.40 and free P&P, there's no point in not trying. If this fits, it will be perfect as I didn't want to get a case to hide the glass and holographic design.

Black and brown on their website. That brown looks really good, obvious grain, love it. If I'd have found their site first, I would have been torn between black and brown. They also have hot pink, but that just looks tacky.

That brown is nice :good: But would it look good with the Nexus 4? I haven't bought one, because I'm still holding out in hopes for other cases/pouches/etc.... BUT for the price, I think I should just take the plunge. When you receive it, could you comment back on how it fits? Or make a review!? :good:

I've ordered one of these too. I got a stylus with mine so if all else fails I'll have that for my Nexus 7. It should fit as it does state that its for the Nexus 4.

Looking for a decent case for protection that is also ergonomic. OtterBox was my first choice, but it's quite expensive
Anyone have any suggestions? Or have experience with any of the ones below?
Griffin Survivor Case: Link Here
M-Edge Latitude Case: Link Here
Caseen Soft Snap Case: Link Here
For my money and taste the only one of those worth it would be the Griffin:thumbup: just don't see myself paying that much for the other ones. Also I was going to make a post like thus when I found these last night http://tinyurl.com/cyduhug since I'm very busy with work now I don't have to u can just ad them to your post. My only grip is not a wide variety if colors "yet" and straight black isn't one of the few so there's only a few choices for me,but some color choice for a great case at a great price is better than nothing

Thanks for the suggestion! :laugh:
I'm probably going to go with the Griffin or Latitude. The JNP covers that you were talking about are awesome. My only gripe is that there is no straight black or at least a *dark* colored cover. Bright colors usually give me a headache lol

The Griffin is the only one which I might consider. It's cheaper if you buy it from Amazon.
I bought a Belkin two weeks ago. So far so good. Various colors are available.
I bought a new one, should be here monday at latest, ill video it. Its a $6 on ebay. Its called a FOSMON hybrid tpu case. Look em up seller name is sfplanet. Review will come when i get it
Edit - got the case im the mail today. Very impressed.

This OP is a place to discuss, review, and fidn information regarding tempered glass screen protectors (TGSP's).
So far after many months of use these are the best ones in my personal opinion:
Intelliglass Pro
Intelliglass case cut
Intelliglass max coverage
Nillkin H+ Pro
Also a big shout out to Adam from intelliarmor for providing excellent support for their products!
I'm currently using an intelliarmor case cut; I've broken a few due to some drops, but my phone has survived everytime!
If anyone else has recommendations for TGSP's that are good shoot me a quote and I'll verify the product (via checking th discussion and peoples experience, then add it to the OP list)
Heres another one:
http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Exp...B3PM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1443565507&sr=8-4
I'm tempted to get one, I already have a TPU case sitting on my desk.
I'm going to get one before my phone arrives, just not sure which brand. What are some reputable brands that have made tempered glass protectors for other phones?
Finally it seems like they decided against the curved 2.5 edges on the screen (or so it looks by pics). Maybe we will be able to find a tempered glass now that will actually fit now.
I bought 2 different ones lets see if they arrive before the phone does
I have had good luck with the Xtreme Guard Spartan Tempered Glass screen protectors, hoping they release one for the 6P. They run 90%+ off sales all the time so you can grab one with free shipping for a few bucks.

Look at the pictures of it on Google's site and the hands on. Its clearly flat so that's why I said it's not 2.5° curved at the edges.

It's definitely flat, I was just thinking the same thing looking at some images this morning. I might actually go for tempered glass this year I've been running with the old school films on all my other devices. Either way we have a good month to do some research haha
Just got a reply back from XtremeGuard Support:
"Thanks for contacting us. We should be receiving Nexus 6P tempered glass within the next 1-2 weeks. Thank you!"
I'll probably order 2 just in case

I am really happy with the decision they made. Edge bubbles were a pain in the ass with nexus 6.
Here is the link to the case I am talking about: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=151939386658&alt=web
I was wondering if anybody has gotten one of these cases. For almost a third the price of the one from google, this could be a bargain! TIA
It's only 13 bucks. Why can't you take the gamble and report back?

Thanks for the find buddy. Might give this a shot. It is around $19 after conversation to aud.

Just got mine. It is definitely a fake cover. If you have the official one from Google you will see the difference in the felt. It isn't even felt on this particular case. Not unattractive per se but not as good as the official.

The Nexus 6P doesn't have the most inspiring design, but when it comes to hardware prowess, value for money and Google extras, this best-ever Nexus is hard to beat.
