Only complaint I have so far is that the buttons are really stiff. Ive had this case along with the Nuud for other phones and never was it this bad. I may have something to do with my skin on my phone but I highly doubt it because it doesnt interfere with the buttons on other cases. The fingerprint scanner does have a film over it and works great once you do the initial break in (getting it stuck to the reader after a few times of pressing it) It also comes with a new blue opening key for opening the case and it just goes onto your keychain which i think is a great add on. Overall I am highly satisfied with the case and have nothing else bad to say besides the stiff buttons.

How's recording a video? I'm getting autofocus issues where it struggles to focus. Or it'll be clear but then blurry and remains blurry longer than it was being clear.

How about protection for earpiece as far as I know earpiece is not waterproof and I dont see a protection for earpice in the picture, and how bulky is case?

Now that you mention it I was having autofocus issues the other day and had to keep clicking on what I was interested in recording and it would take longer than normal to focus. It isn't a consistent issue and more times than not it autofocuses properly.

I would assume it's not a case issue. I know this was an issue with a Spigen case. But I think it's the laser focus on the phone when there's a glass or something covering the lens. It's probably picking up the dust or maybe it's being affected by the reflection. Idk....

Greetings Fellow Nexus 4's
So I've been on the hunt for a flip case for the Nexus 4 which flips to the left, the only ones I could find that DID flip to the left either:
Doesn't sit flip to the back properly
Doesn't stay closed
So after much searching I found this. The TETDED Premium Leather Flip Case for the Nexus 4 (Link in the bottom of this thread).
It came fairly quickly, was sent with FedEx, and it got delivered in perfect condition (well wrapped).
The linings are great, the texture feels really nice (doesn't feel cheap at all). The bottom feels like it's made of hard plastic with leather wrapped around it, the top is soft leather (you can "squeeze" it), here are some pictures: (Sorry for some of them having insane amounts of noise, my room is fairly dark and they're taken with the camera on my old O2X)
It engulfs the phone perfectly, nothing is exposed.
The camera lens and flash is clearly visible and free (not obstructed)
There's a hole for the speakers. Headphone jack visible and exposed (not obstructed), with this I don't mean it's exposed to damage.
You can plug the charger in while the case is on.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall, very happy with the case, it doesn't feel like it adds bulk to the phone (no issues with putting it into pocket etc.), it feels very secure (not afraid that if I drop the phone it'll shatter into a million pieces), I'd give it 9/10. Not to be a fanboy, but I've been looking for a case like this ever since I got the phone, and this gives me everything I need, it's easy to open with one hand and I can operate the phone with the case flipped all the way back with easy, it doesn't feel like I'm stressing the case, I'm not afraid the phone will spontaneously pop out of the case, the quality is great, the texture is nice and rugged. The only thing I can "point fingers at" is the fact that it's somewhat "hard" (not that hard, just a but harder), to push the volume buttons, but this should self evident as this is a flip case and that's just how they are. Feedback upon the review would also be greatly appreciated.
I'd recommend it to anyone.
This is the case in question:

Kind regards, Neefy
How about when you are in phone call? Does the front flip need to be open when you are in phone call? or we can do the phone call with the front flip closed? And how about the phone call sound? thx
I.. Actually haven't tested it with it closed, I just by default always have it open during calls.

Big thanks before. I just love the case but I wonder if I can do the phone call when it close.
I recently have had an operation in my mouth, so I'm unable to comfortably make a phone call, once I'm all good again I'll be sure to test it out

How is the clasp on the case, the thing on the flap that keeps the flap closed, does it get annoying but mainly is it too tight so it takes extra effort to open it?

It's quite easy to get open (requires very little force) and doesn't open by itself, I've had my case on since the day I got it (the day this thread was created) and it's still fully functional

That's nice to know, i hope the clasp on mine doesn't take much force to open and close either, I'm dreading that might be the case if I get it
Does the case add a lot of bulk to the phone and take the feel of the phone away?
Thanks much for the information you posted about TETDED and especially for the You Tube video of your manipulating one of its cases. Perhaps because I live in the US, I had never heard of this company and am so pleased that a thread I found when researching reviews for cases saw TETDED mentioned. I'm going to order a case today. Thanks, OhioBabs

Adopted case

Anyone with a 6p try it with the adopted case bought from the Google store?
If so how is it?
Sent from my Nexus 5
I've got the case but the 6p comes in tomorrow.
The case is decent quality but very ordinary looking. The biggest issue which is a deal breaker for me is the fact that it's very difficult to take screenshots due to a design flaw in these cases. The ridges on the inside of the case don't line up perfectly with the buttons. Try it yourself and you'll see what i'm talking about.
My phone is on route
Sent from my Nexus 5
Also this case causes issues if you use a tempered glass screen protector and causes it to either lift up or issues with the edges of the case going over the glass.
Frosty!

As others have said, the case is decent but not without issues. It is a plain TPU case with nothing particularly special going for it. It is probably a little overpriced for what you get; Diztronic and others will be releasing similar cases for cheaper if you can wait.
It does cause issues taking screenshots, though they are not insurmountable; you need to be careful how you press buttons through it to do so. As someone else said, it is incompatible with some of the current screen protectors. I tried the intelliARMOR, but they are a no go together. IntelliARMOR is working on a revised version of their protector.
Overall, I like the case. It is of good quality and it looks good, if plain. The black one looks good on my aluminium phone with the silver fingerprint sensor giving it some flair while not looking out of place.
I prefer the microfiber backed case though. It is essentially the same case with the same problems, especially the overpriced part, but with a different look, feel, and better grip.

Sure! Give it a few weeks for the phone to get here...
Here you go.
The case is ok. Not bad, but not great. The cutouts could be a lot better and on the front, the case covers too much of the edges imo. Kinda hard to swipe from the edges if you use that functionality a lot in apps. I should've probably waited for something else but this one looked pretty slick on the google store. Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I really like the Adopted case, it fits nicely and snuggly without adding too much bulk. It does look a bit plain and of course like any other case it hides a lot of the beauty of the device...yes...including the visor which it has grown on me over the days.

I've had some issues with 3rd party USB C cables. The cutout on the case for the USB isn't large enough. I'm thinking about enlarging it but haven't decided just yet what to use.

I thought about using a soldering iron. I'm not sure how he did it though without deforming the cutout. An iron doesn't generally remove material it just sort of melts it away and pushes it back.
Also, this is such a thin device that if you remove much you risk separating the cover completely at the charge port. I'm not convinced you can remove enough for many 3rd party cables. It almost requires a different case design.
Does anybody have a 50% code off for adopted case they dont need? Would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,

Those were amazing. I had lost mine during renovation of my home so I have $1 artscow pads now.
Looks good. I also received mine in the mail yesterday after waiting nearly 3 weeks. It was the old style which doesn't stick in the corners. Needless to say, I immediately contacted Intelliarmor and they processed a refund. I'll give them credit for at least being responsive.
I guess my point is, beware...they are still shipping the older version.

I guess I got the older version today but there is a crack in the screen itself which seems to cause a bubble that I cannot get out. My second screen although I have not put it on yet seems crack free.
i got mine two days ago. it doesnt have the cutout for the camera, but it has some glass underneath the bottom speaker unlike in the video. is this the old version?

Same version I got from Amazon yesterday. Just came in stock last Saturday. I love it. No issues what so ever
1.- Old version [deprecated]
2.- New version (regular fit)
3.- New version (case friendly)
So.... Yeah.... I hope @intelliARMOR send me the regular one, I personally don't dig those wide borders, and I think I'll be ok with a Spigen Ultra Fit.
Ahhhh.... Tolerances..... A passionate world!
Okay, I'm a little salty after discovering there's a second revised model that has a bottom speaker grille instead of the cutout. That vexes me. I ordered a couple during the two-for-one sale way back when; first one had an issue with the bottom corner not adhering properly, but I got a perfect installation on the second one. But that I know there's a new version with cutouts, I'm going to have OCD over that...
The screen protector revisions is getting out of hand. That said, I bought a pack of 3 no name ones for $12 and they had all the correct cut outs and work great

That link is of limited relevance for anyone not living in Australia, sadly.
FWIW,
I just got mine a couple days ago. Was backordered for a long time... I got two when they had that buy one get one free promo.
Anyway both don't have cutouts for the front camera, has a cutout for proximity/ambient light sensor, but has the gap at the bottom below the speaker...
I would have rather had that bottom covered, and a cutout for the front facing camera, but I'll just have to live with it.

Not at all. I'm not sure why some people would prefer it without the added protection.

Camera lens protector?

As we all know, the camera lense is not the strongest one around and it needs a cover or protector of some kind. I'm wondering if there is such a thing available anywhere, or any other alternatives on how to protect the lens? Thanks!
right on time. http://www.4tified.com/devices-1/
mine didnt come with one though.. i ordered/received mine like 3 weeks ago? not a big deal since my camera bezel scratches arent too noticeable.
oh and that military green does look badass.

Looks great but I'm having trouble sorting out exactly what this "Camera lens bezel skin" does. This covers the lens bezel. Is the idea that it keep the round back circle around the lens (the bezel) from scratching or does it also offer some protection to the camera lens itself? Thanks.
Im guessing the area around the camera glass. A lot of people have been noticing how easy it is forbthat area to get scuffed up. But i would think this would also help a little with the actual camera lens from getting scratched since the skin would prob lift it off any flat surface a little.

That sounds right, thanks.
But this doesn't cover the lens (only the bezel), which is what the OP was asking about. Are there any products out there that protect the lens.

Yeah lol. I just re-read the op. I guess I had it in my mind the outter bezel is what he was referring to since I've seen more people complain about that area.
Only thing I've seen is this. The reason lens protection is so hard to come by is because it can obscure pictures. Especially anything with an adhesive back (like the one i linked). The residue can cause images to look "hazy" especially in low light situations.
My lens glass has cracked on both my G4 and my V10 and I blame the poor design of having it protrude from the rest of the back. It should have been the opposite. Unfortunately this causes very ugly light streaks in dim settings when taking a picture. The only thing I've found to remedy this by buying a replacement which was surprisingly cheap. $10. However, the auto-focus and macro capabilities never seem to be the same afterwards. Sigh.

Hello,
I am just about to order an H961N from Ebay and since my main priority for it will be it's camera, I intend to protect it using a PDair leather Flip Case.
http://www.pdair.com/index.php/lg-v10-flip-wallet-case.html
As you will see this case fully protects the rear of the camera but still allows it to be used in a hurry when required.
Having used one of these on my Nokia N8 for the last 5 years (yes really!), I know it is both well made and effective. My N8 still looks like new and takes good photos
albeit not now up to V10 standards.

Someone mentioned the poor quality and the size of the protector(too small).

I can't find anything about the poor quality, being too small is not about quality, the buyer just got the protector from the wrong seller, I got 2 set from two different seller, one being too small, I think the seller just wanted to sell them and sold it as a V10, the second set is the correct size, fit's exactly within the size of the V10 lens.
have anyone tried this one? a little expensive i guess http://www.amazon.com/Martin-Fields-Overlay-Screen-Protector/dp/B0198T4AA4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1463978276&sr=8-1&keywords=lg+v10+camera+protector
Just get an Obliq case. It's very functional, looks super cool and is just high enough to protect the bezel without obstructing the camera function
eh, it looks like it would have no real protction. i dropped my gs5 and broke the glass that covered the lense. i would love to have some kind of extra glass screen to go over it.

hTC U11 what's your experience and durability

hey I am getting this phone in a week I selected it over s8 and iphone 7
and I would like to know your experience with it specially the durability as it failed with the bend test due to the flexible metal frame ,front and back glass
also what about the selfie shooter and battery life
I hope you share your experience with me
thanks in advance
I owned one when first released for 3 weeks. Definitely need a case to protect it but then I always use one. Battery life was average though not terrible.
Now, originally the phone was a speed demon but after awhile did become laggy much to my surprise but I have tons of apps though no game apps or Facebook loaded. I did pre-order the newer 6gb/128 version to see if that would improve, but cancelled as I await further feedback from users. I still prefer my S8+ and it doesn't lag for me to the surprise of many.

the GS8+ is 50 dollars more expensive than the 128gb 6gbram u11 here where I live that's why I am really considering it as the galaxy is poor af in multitasking and ram management
I found garry easily bends this phone so I was woundering too if there any related stuff I will own it for 2 years if it did not break xD
A phone made of glass. What a brilliant idea.
Using it for around 10 days without a case. Not enough time to judge but it's been fine. I am very careful though. Just a personal issue I have with this phone which doesn't seem to bother most people is the yellow tint at the bottom of the screen. Would have returned it because I'm particularly OCD about these things but the tint is so faint I couldn't get the customer service people to see it and if they don't see it in my particular case, I'm not getting a refund or replacement.
Btw the phone is awesome though and I wish I didn't notice or have the screen issue.

the tint issue was there with the htc 10 too due to light leak
it is not only in the bottom it is with the angle ty to change the viewing angle the tint will move with you

Mine is different. I have light bleed at the top which I can live with. What I have at the bottom is a yellow tint which gradually fades to white. OnePlus one had a similar issue and I swapped it twice before giving up on it. This is less exaggerated but unfortunately unbearable for me.

I have one for about 10 days now, and I must say it's beautiful. I use the provided HTC case with it, and the case now has lots of scratches.
I believe the phone is more slippery with the case, that without. I also think the glass is not as easily scratched as the plastic case, but it is a fingerprint magnet.
I've ordered a transparent silicone case, let's see how that is.
I don't have any light bleed or dead pixels, the cameras work perfectly, Edge Sense as well.
I really have nothing to comment regarding the performance of the phone, everything is snappy and works perfectly.
What I hate is the fact that I have the Dual-SIM version, and I always have the SIM no above the signal icon.

I think the sim issue can be fixed with systemui tuner I guess you have a chance with that
Experience is awesome, great, super happy, love this phone, extremely fast, great for the most demanding games.
Hands down the best sound ever, of any phone released today, and great for videos
Good reception even in poor areas.
Durability... not so great, not enough protection, Glass can break if not careful, will get scratched.
Poor availability of choices for Protection Cases and Screen Protectors.

I don't want to root it. Yet.
I have a good track record with phones, so I ditched the case. I do, however, have a carbon fiber skin on the back. The skin protects from finger prints, makes it easier to hold, protects the glass from scratches, and I personally thought the design isn't very good without it.
I found out that the glass is more fragile than I would have thought. When applying the skin, I had the glass face down on a glass coffee table. When I flipped it over it had various scratches. Got an IQ Shield screen protector and thankfully it hides the scratches.
I wanted to ask those using the phone. I have a black u11. When the flashlight is on I can see light at the sides where the glass meets the metal. Is this normal for all?

Ah wait scratch that. Didn't want to worry anybody. I looked at it carefully and that's not the issue. I have a full body clear guard and the edges of the screen/ body film seem to be lighting up. The actual metal joint seems to be fine. Thanks for the reply though. Much appreciated.

I'm in construction and after a month of use I have ZERO scratches. I tried a few cases, but they made this phone too bulky and hid the awesomeness. Now I just have a CardNinja business card holder on the back and an otherwise nekkid solar red phone.
After a month of use it has become less slippery. I did have to turn off Edge Sense though because it kept taking photos when I was taking it out of my front pocket.
I typically run a wet cloth over the screen and back after doing anything with tons of dust and I'm good to go!
Cases, in my experience just grind the pocket dust into the phone until they create gouges.
Hope that helps,
Chad
