Crystal Skin Gel Case?

Does anybody have good photos of one of the crystal skin cases on their N1? I'm on the verge of ordering one, but I want to get a better look at how much bulk it adds. Most of the pics on the sites I've found are low res or at a bad angle.
Thanks.

IS this what you're talking about?

If so, I'm wondering if anyone has tried these..?

i have one... its really nice. Very snug fit and has all the cut outs for 2nd mic, speaker, flash, ect...
well made and highly recommended. especially at such a cheap price.
attached a couple of pics with the case on my nexus... hope this helps.

Its similar to the cases for the mytouch/ magic but not as sturdy, probably because the phone is thinner and is really really snug. Unlike the silicone cases you cant pull this off just taking it out of your pocket.
The case thickness is slightly higher than the camera on the back which protects it somewhat from scratching the plastic lens cover.
On the front the ridge is high enough to prevent accidental screen touching tap the edges of the screen.
The buttons are still easily operable and does not interfere with the charger, mics, or speaker at all. It does cover two of the three gold connectors so it might be a problem when the docks come out.

I just ordered the very same case on ebay, along with the clearfreak screen protector.
Case seems to fit snug. Nice!!

Looks a lot better than I imagined.

Can you try your slip in case that the google nexus came with and let me know if it slips it quite well?

Thanks everybody that replied and posted pics. That's exactly what I was looking for. Looks awesome, ordering one now.

It doesn't fit, if your force it in, it might go in but you would have a tough time pulling it out.

Sounds like my prom night.

Anyone try this case with the old G1 cover since the N1 cover did not fit?
It will do until Otterbox or Seido come out with something.. Picked up Phantomz screen protector..

To those who have one:
How easy/difficult would it be to remove the ugly (in my opinion) pattern from the skin?

I bought one because I'd rather not have my phone all scratched up. I will be attempting to remove the pattern when it arrives, probably with some nail polish remover first and then onto some acid.

anyone try/have this silicone case and care to comment?
This is what my wife is wanting... just want to make sure its snug, looks of quality, and has all the necessary holes cut out.

Agreed +1.

Yeah. I love the material, clarity, and fit (I have the green one) but I don't care for the pattern. However, I realized that I don't actually see the pattern all that often so it doesn't bother me. I'm thinking of getting another; I got mine from Amazon (it was on there at least the day before the phone was announced) and I might get the blue one next.

I found a smoke-colored one on Ebay. I guess I'll pick up the smoke one, as the back of the phone is dark-gray, the checker pattern doesn't stick out as much as the white (or green or blue or red or purple) one.

I just got mine today. I love how snug the skin fits on the N1 and also the pattern isn't so ugly in person. IMO this is currently the best body protection for the phone and it's worth every penny spent on it.

Video Review: Quibits / Basal Enterprises FlexVue TPU Case

I haven't seen any videos of this case, so I thought I'd put together a quick review for you guys. It's a pretty neat case, I kind of prefer it to the TPU-Cases model, I just wish the top was completely covered.
Also, the title should read "qubits" not "quibits".

Love the video, looks very professional. On a quick note. I wanted to point out that Yoobao has a somewhat similar TPU case with that missing top part that you mention was missing cover.
Here is a link for it:

Again, thank you for the video.

Well, I purchased it and received it yesterday. I love the darn thing. The screen protector was cut out for the device, because it has the cut out exactly where the light sensor is. (I also installed and had 0 problems with the installation.)

I have this Yoobao but I decided I wanted to keep the cheapie kickstand case. I still haven't opened it to test it. I can do that or if you want I can sell it to anyone here for 10bux shipped, if you are in the USA. I posted this in the marketplace, but I do not think many others venture out of the device forums lol

How does it fit? Is it really tight? I'm looking for a TPU case because the Tmob case I got when I got the phone is simply way too floppy and loose. That Yoobao you posted is exactly what I'm looking for because I want a clear case to show off the phone's design. If the fit is tight and the cutouts all align nicely I'm purchasing it immediately lol.
To stay on topic, the OP's video looks very professional and I've looked at the Qubits case a lot too.

It fits like a glove, no flimsiness and not loose at all! Every single cutout is made EXACTLY where it needs to be. I was amazed by that.

Thanks for the review. Looks like a better case than the rubber one I got from T-Mobile for $20. The case is too loose around the sides. I already scraped the side with my key. I will be buying one of these TPU's.

1 more question: how long did it take for you to get it? I really want to try it out, but I'm leaving for college in 13 days, so the fact that it's shipping from Hong Kong kinda makes me worried that I wouldn't get it in time.

If in the uk amazon sell the grey one through a seller named "podjunkie" bit the order is fufilled by amazon

That was a great review, thanks! I think I'm going to pick up the smoked one, but I would love if the black one had the middle clear like the smoked one does. Right now I have the Incipio NGP but the open volume rocker and clear center make this very appealing

Sorry for the mega-necro, but I am selling all of my leftover HTC Sensation accessories at very low prices. Please help out a student and check out my marketplace posting.

i got similar case ( black , not transparent and slightly different in design) as OP from amazon for $5.99 with free 2 days shipping ( 4 bucks cheaper ^^). This is really good case, fit tight and look awesome. As OP said,only weak point is that this case doesn't cover the top ( i guess they decide to design this way so you can put in/ or take off the case easier. I have similar type of this case for my mytouch 4G, my nexus S and it is a little bit more difficult to take the case off or put it in) This is always my first choice when i buy my phone's case.

This is honestly the best case I've ever used. Fits perfectly, adds a nice feel to the phone (I don't feel like it will snap in my hand anymore).

any good (non book cover) cases for the nexus 9

Hey there I am looking for nexus 9 case
That provides some drop protection
Without being like a tank
i want something like the spigen Hybrid Series
but they don' make them for the n9
and the only case that i have find excluding book cover cases are
the Cruzerlite Bugdroid

But it provides very minimal protection
and the SUPCASE
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ONRSSF0/
Which proved extreme protection, but adding too much thickness to the device
so is there any suggestions for the any case you know about

I have the supcase and purchased it on its release. While it does add a bit of builk the device fits securely inside the front of the case and then the thicker rear snaps around the front. It is similar to the otterbox i guess however it does not have the rear shell. the rear of this case kind of is a hibrid of the plastic shell and a hard gel rear sort of thing

do you feel that the case makes the device
To become very bulky or is it Just little bit because in pictures it looks huge

ill be honest in that it makes the device bigger. It gives it a little bit of weight also.
in that though, i am used to it now and it provides excellent protection. i would recommend it to anyone who used an otterbox type case on their other devices. It was also half the price.
I was initially waiting for the poetic case however with shipping from america it was going to cost approximately 70-80AUS $. I got this case for about half that price, so very stoked.

I've found the Kayscase to be pretty decent. I have it in the frosted clear. I've never owned any of the Cruzerlite cases for devices, but I imagine the Kayscase would be similar. Also, I am not sure how well it would actually fair if dropped. However, it is reasonably light, doesn't add a ton of thickness or bulk to the case, seems to be easier to grip, and provides just a slight lip over the bezel and screen.
ETA: It occurred to me that the image shown below is probably a Nexus 7. The Nexus 9 version looks pretty much exactly the same, except it doesn't have the rear speaker cutouts. The shape of the rear camera cutout is also different to accommodate the flash on the 9.
You can find it here:
http://www.amazon.com/Google-Nexus-...d=1420779419&sr=8-2&keywords=kayscase+nexus+9

I have both the bugdroid and the supcase. I really an confident with the Supcase enough that I take it with me on the farm, something I haven't done with a tablet since back in my Xooms with the Defender case. Man, that thing was a monster to carry.
Honestly as long as supcase makes cases for whatever device I own I'll never buy another OtterBox. They're not quite as bulky and I honestly think they're better made. I have one on my nexus 6 as well.

OP, I know this is not what you asked for, but your title made me think of taking a hardcover book, and "Andy-Dufresne-ing" the inside of it to make it the dimensions of the Nexus 9, and then stabilizing it in there somehow. you would have to glue the edges of the paper together on the outside, but this could be a terrific idea... if done correctly.
For those who don't know what Andy-Dufresne-ing a book is, go home and watch The Shawshank Redemption.

I looked at that one as well but went with the Poetic hardshell case from Amazon (Can't post links yet ), it does add some bulk, but sure is secure. Still the purple one looks interesting.
Still scratching my head over the round cutout on the bottom front of the case. Was the Nexus 9 supposed to have a fingerprint sensor there?

[Review] Orzly FlexiSlim - A Case for the Case Hater

I hate cases. There, I said it. They're bulky, they're ugly, they make the device harder to use, and I always end up questioning how well they'll really protect the device. This has, however, lead to all sorts of scratches, nicks, and chips in my phones that make these expensive gadgets look like hell and hard to sell when I want to move up to the new hotness. With the improved quality, and what I assume is an increased fragility, of the new Galaxy S6, I figured it was time to cave in and looking for something that would make me hate using my phone. After some research, I decided to pull the trigger on a grey Orzly FlexiSlim on Amazon.
The FlexiSlim is a flexible, translucent case that can really be better described as a skin. At 0.5mm thick, it adds roughly the thickness of a standard business card to the device. While this isn't going to save your phone from a drop to the floor, it feels like a great way to keep your device from being scratched up from whatever is in your pocket. The bulk it adds is so minimal, the only thing giving way the presence of the case is the quality of the materials. I know it's going to be hard to top the premium feeling of the S6, but I would have been happy to pay a little more for something that felt less like rubber and more like the cool, slick feeling of glass. The advantage here, of course, is the FlexiSlim gives you a bit more grip and traction in the hand or a loose pocket than the naked phone. I don't want to imply the quality is low, here, so it's worth pointing out that the cutouts feel perfectly sized and placed and buttons end up flush, not recessed.
Overall, I'm extremely happy here and feel like I may have landed on the perfect case for case haters since I can easily forget the thing is even on, it doesn't distract from the phone's aesthetics, and it doesn't block wireless charging. If they were to create a fully transparent model, I would jump on that in a heartbeat.
Here are a couple of shots I took with my 100mm macro:

In the promo video they said the skin was 0.35mm

Interesting! The Amazon product page lists it out at 0.5mm. I couldn't tell you which one is more accurate, but somewhere between the two seems likely as it does seem just a bit thicker than a standard business card (around 0.3mm thick).

That's nice. Like you I wish there were a transparent option. What other colors does it come in ?
---------- Post added at 04:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 AM ----------
Never mind I see the link, thanks

Some nice pics buddy! Really does help to show off the thinness of the case. I'm guessing it is 0.35mm if it's coming from the manufacturer. I agree with what you said about cases that feel like rubber, there's many of those around which although add very little bulk, they don't feel particularly great, makes it feel like you're carrying any other phone you've had in the past.
it comes in that translucent black and white, so should look pretty neat against any of the s6 colours. In their video they only demonstrate it on the white device, can see the difference between the same case on your blue handset and their white version.

Also in response to twoeleven99, from the same company they also do a completely transparent case, adds a bit more bulk to the phone than the slim case but shows off the phone nicely

That smoked white looks good on white s6..

i have the frosted white one for my black S6. its a very solid great case, just FYI there is a dark company logo on the side bottom near the speaker. its not bad at all but its something worth nothing.

I have brought this case for my samsung s6 along with a few other cases from amazon.com. I have used Orzly in the past and believe they make good cases at good prices
This case for me is my favourite, i am sure this is the slimmest Samsung s6 case on the market. I like the fact that you can still see the samsung logo through the case.

I've been using the Obliq [Slim Meta] Ultra Slim Fit case so far and it's been nice. Can't seem to find the dimensions/weight of the Obliq - don't think it's as slim as the Orzly

I've ordered both. Im getting the white S6, just cant decide which would look best on it!

I ordered the case but im getting my phone this week but haven't decided yet which color of the phone, since there is a video of how it looks in white already from orzlys part i would love to see how it looks in the black one

does it flattened exactly as the rear camera ? so that it will covering the camera module if we put it on the table

Hows the dust build up i and around the case, i notice that on invisible cases, this can be quite a problem, im hoping the smoke effect on this case may prevent that.

Tudia GLOST Ceramic Feel Tempered Glass Back Panel Case - thoughts?

I am really interested in this new Tudia GLOST ceramic feel tempered glass back case for my Essential phone:
Tudia Glost Case for Essential Phone PH-1
I know the thing isn't available (at least according to Amazon) until December 8th... but I just thought I'd see what everyone else thinks about it. Looks pretty cool, just don't know how much bulk or weight this might add to the phone. Plus I've never had any Tudia cases, so not familiar with them and how well they feel/fit.
Anyone else considering this case? Thoughts?

Got one on order, but can't tell you much about the company or cases but looks pretty sweet

Have the black case and is very nice.

I have the marble one on order I'll post pictures when they release it.

Can someone check to see if the tempered glass part is easily replaceable or if it can be taken off? Was looking at this thinking I could turn it into a bumper case.

I had the exact same thought and this is my chief interest in getting one. If I had to guess it would be that the rear plate is molded into the rubber and not easily removable but hopefully I'm wrong.

So how much weight and 'bulk' does the black case add to the phone? Would you think it adds so much that it wouldn't fit anymore into a somewhat snug belt-loop holster?

Yeah, I would guess the same thing - looks (from the picture) like it's molded right around the glass and it wouldn't be easy to remove.... I just wonder how 'breakable' that glass really is?

Can we get a real life pic of the GLOST case? I am considering the Ocean Green but may settle on Black since I am not sure what the green would look like in person. Do the sides provide any grip? I see there is some pinstriping of some sort, is that just for looks?

So how much weight and 'bulk' does the black case add to the phone? Would you think it adds so much that it wouldn't fit anymore into a somewhat snug belt-loop holster?

The case is nice and snug does not add any bulk to the phone worth noting. Also the weight in minimal. I am positive that you will like the case.

I don't think we'll get a 'real life' picture of it now, since it isn't supposed to even be released until Dec 8; it is available for pre-order though; hence why I was asking...

This is what shows up for it on Amazon, though:

The guy above said he has it, that is why I asked...

Ah, OK.... I think he was talking about the other Tudia case, the one available now. I had asked since I figured they might be somewhat similar.

Can someone check to see if the tempered glass part is easily replaceable or if it can be taken off? Was looking at this thinking I could turn it into a bumper case.

There are websites that will 3d print it for you if you do t have access, my brother in law has one and is gonna print me one, I'll post pics and a review if anyone is interested

Well I went ahead and ordered the GLOST case from Amazon, not supposed to be available till the 8th AT THE LEAST. Figured if I don't like it I can return it for a different one.
I'll report back on it once I receive it!

In stock on Amazon NOW. Don't forget to apply the 15% off coupon.

Is the Glost case slimmer than the Tudia Tamm case? I have that one already. It's fine, but I'd prefer something slimmer.

what is the promo code?

Drop and scratch test
Tudia posted two videos of this case to their facebook page. I'd link to it but I am not allowed to post links yet.
Drop test was from ~5ft, no damage to phone
Scratch Test was using a razor blade on the back of the case, no damage.
Looks like a pretty decent case, now I just need to find a source in Canada.
