Simply Carbon Fiber - Google Pixel XL Accessories

Just received my case. Wanted to share a few photos. The case looks incredible, but offers little protection as the top and bottom are open. Looks and feel In hand are top notch. Would recommend!

I have one as well! Very sick case!! Does not fit with my skinomi clear shield so if anybody wants to purchase at a better deal then their site PM ME!!!

Is the case slippery at all? How about thickness, does it add some bulk for one handed use (I have an XL).
Case does look great.

If you don't mind me asking, what screen protector are you using?

In hand feel is amazing. It's a very minimal style case. The soft touch sides make it easy to hang on to. It dosent feel like any more size than most TPU cases.
@jonodori I believe this one is iCarez True Glass.

The case does add some bulk to it so don't be fooled by pictures or anything. I do like the feel and look of the case but I am not a fan of the thickness and if I knew it was that thick I would have not gotten it. I immediately put it on, used it for about an hour and took it off because of thickness. Doesn't feel that slippery in the hands because of the grip on the sides. It's a very nice case I'm just not that big a fan of it.

Case looks ridiculously THICK for copying the "thin fit" design of many other cases... not a fan.

If only it wrapped around the top and bottom...

With the case on the phone it measures...
10.7 mm top thickness
9.1 mm bottom thickness
78 mm width
Dosent seem that bluky by the numbers in relation to no case. However to each their own.
Cheers, J.

I always wanted to try their cases!!! So glad they have one for the Pixel/XL. Ordered mine now!

I love this case!! Looks and feels great.

Atrix 2 Cases??

Are there any cases for the Atrix aside from the offerings from Otter Box, Body Glove and Speck? Not a fan of any of them as I like the minimalist case.
Anything coming out soon???

I have the Speck and it doesnt really add any bulk. Why get a cheap case that will not really protect it from drops?
Yep, hit up Amazon and see for yourself, just search Atrix 2 case and see all the results you get.
my wife was looking for cases for her A2 that she'll be getting soon and there aren't as many cases as we hoped. Hopefully more will come, over time.
I got the TPU case on Amazon. Very happy. Especially for 9 bucks.
Too lazy to type again.

Belt Clip
If anyone spots a belt clip let me know. I'm not going with a case with a clip (I've always had defenders) but rather just a belt clip. I can't believe I can't find one
i just got my tpu case in from the link above in matte black it is pretty awesome. it came with a screen protector that doesn't fit but it is better than nothing until i the one that i ordered in.
More about the case:
-so i said i ordered the matte black version of the case, and yes it is matte black but some of it is glossy. I actually like it this way because if you look at the screen, the edges of the case are glossy with blend in with the phone and if you flip it over it is matte black.
-it is a pretty snug fit and doesn't seem like it is going to move.
-almost all the buttons have a cut out except for the volume which i find a little strange because i would have liked it to be uniform, and there is a cutout for both of the microphones on the top and bottom.
overall for 9 bucks i am extremely happy with it and it even came a day early too!
Tpu case is awesome

Maybe you will have to throw your phone at someone and that is why you need a more protective case as well.

The Otterbox Defender has a clip. I can't offer any opinion on it though. I bought the Otterbox Commuter, which is not as heavy duty and doesn't have a clip. I like it, my only complaint is that the edges and corners attract a lot of lint.

So i said that it is like two toned. the matte black part is really smooth actually. the glossy part is alittle stickier but i haven't had any problems with linkt sticking to the case. considering the size of the phone is does slip in and out of my pocket really well.

I have the same case. Slides out of pockets smooth as silk. No lint problems. It doesn't have that "sticky" rubber feel too it like the otterbox stuff does.
You seriously won't find anything nicer for double the money. It's a great case. Looks like they've added "high gloss transparent" also now to the original matte black and smoke cases.
Ya I saw that too. I like the matte personally. If you want to see the phone itself then the transparent ones aren't too bad but might have a different feel to it. The matte feels smooth but alittle tacky too.

Slim case

I love the design of this phone so I want the slimmest possible case I can find. Can anyone recommend a very slim case?
same as you, didn't really want to cover it up too much since the design is so nice. I went with this and I think it will be a good match. I have the white phone so I ordered the white case:
http://www.obostore.com/nillkin-ultra-slim-hard-shield-faceplate-for-htc-one-x-p-5711.html
lots of folks recommended this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007X4XS3C/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
I ordered it and it will be here Tuesday
You could get the official ones by HTC. They take minimalism to a whole new level bit the downside is its so expensive for a flimy piece of plastic. Or the feather cases by Incipio.

i ordered the black & gray ROCK cases and the case mate barely there case. the ROCK cases look nice but are definitely made for the International X. although they fit the One XL, the camera opening is about1-2 mm lower at the top. not a big issue for me at all. however, the case-mate fits perfectly and looks best! i like how the sides are angled for a perfect fit, e.g., fits the One XL's angled sides like a glove. the obvious downside is the limited protection, e.g., exposed top and bottom.
i sold both ROCK cases to a friend who has the International X and kept the case-mate. i added a couple of pics that (hopefully) show how slim and form-fitting the case-mate case is...
im going with the amzer tpu luxe arigle case had it with captivate and like it and did its job and looks good

I liked the case for the whole 5 seconds it lasted me
Funny part is that I was planning on spray painting it black cos that case only comes in orange/blue. And while i was taking the case off it snapped on me. Good thing is AT&T warranties out accessories for a whole year. I have a feeling im going to be using that warranty a lot.
You get what you ask for looking for a slim case. They don't offer any protection at all. Which for me is fine. I just don't like how hot the phone gets without a case. I ended up getting the full body zagg.

i broke my orange version of this case too. if you like to swap out cases every other day (like me) this case may not be for you because you will eventually break it, no doubt about it. i've been luckier with my blue case as it hasn't snapped on me yet.
Just ordered an Amzer Shellster case found here:
http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-AMZ9380...PA1Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338902558&sr=8-1
It's not the most "minimalist" case out there but it seems sturdy enough for repeated application and removal (which is important to me since I use multiple cases). It also comes with a holster, which most slim cases do not. It also looks like it offers great protection for the camera.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMdD2Q35_XA
I'll put up some pics and do a "mini-review" if anyone is interested.
So the case-mate barely there doesn't specify on amazon whether its for the international or att version. However I have heard that it fits ours just fine. Can anyone verify?
And also does it come with a screen protector?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Received my Amzer Shellster yesterday. I can confirm that it fits the AT&T version of the HOX.
Pros
Accurate Fit
Cutouts line up perfectly
Protects camera
Front lip keeps screen from touching when face down
Comes with a holster
Cons
Minamilistic case means it provides less protection than traditional cases
Does not cover top and bottom
Soft touch finish can be a little slippery
While the holster uses "pressure" to hold the phone it does not have an actual mechanism to secure it
Overall, the case is really nice for what it's meant to do. It is advertised as a slim case and it provides all the protection that it entails.
I have included some pics in the attachments showing the cutouts and fit, as well as the holster and front lip.
I got the case mate barely there. Overall I really like it, I wish it was a little thicker because the camera still sticks out a little.

We don't recommend the Ultra Thin Air with the AT&T version as this case was originally designed for the international version. The AT&T version of the phone is slightly longer. While the case my be compatible, it may not be a perfect fit."

Adding More Grip

Hey all,
Has anyone tried roughing the back of their phone a little bit? I'm trying to think of something to give it a bit more texture and grip. I do have a case for my phone but I really like the feeling and look of the phone naked.
Any thoughts?
Rubberized back cover?

Try one of the Rock Quicksand cases. It is very slim, only covers the back and sides, adds minimal bulk, and much more grip. I've been very happy with mine.

I bet that would work if you really don't want a case
Cruzer Lite's cases aren't too bad either. They don't add much to the thickness of the device and they are reasonably good to look at. However, if I could use my phone without a case and be confident of not scratching/dropping it, I'd go that route.
Another vote for Rock Quicksand...love mine. :good: The phone actually feels too small when I take it off now. And way too slick.
Using the Rearth Ringke Slim case and has a really nice feel to it, and it's super thin.

That case is almost identical to the Rock Quicksand, but the Rock gives you a much better grip than the Rearth.

I just got the official Samsung Cool Vent case, and I love it. It's a rubber-y plastic that gives the phone great grip, and you can stick a coin (or two credit cards) in the back for an impromptu kickstand. It covers the back and front/bottom, rather than the sides, so it doesn't cover the volume/power buttons and doesn't make the phone any wider. The only con is that the bump on the back prevents the phone from laying totally flat on a table, which bothers some people, i think it's fine. The bump also gives you something to grip with your fingers.

Picked it up from MobileFun.com, seems there aren't many places yet selling it in the US.
Rock Quicksand case is absolutely amazing!
For $10 I wasn't expecting much; but immediately when I opened up the packaging I was impressed. The case feels rock solid, and barely adds any weight to the phone.
However, if you are looking for full protection this case is definitely not for you.
I don't want to make myself sound old (I am only 22), but I'm at the stage in my life that I can be fairly confident that I will not drop the phone and will not be entering any situations (ie., jumping off my bike into the woods) that I will not be able prepare for and take extra precautions with the phone.

I bought a sheet of this eGrips stuff and cut it custom for every device that i don't want to use a full case on. One side is adhesive and the other side is the grippy side that you hold. egrips

that was my idea too! if one would prefer to run a naked phone you could get one of those clear body skins....the ones that are like the screen protector material but they cover the back cover and sides too, and then see if skateboard grip tape will stick to that stuff, giving you extremely minimal protection with maximum grip and would be thinner than any case like the Rock or other slim cases and less noticeable too, that way if you dont like it you simply peel the skin off since the grip tape is stuck to it, not your phone
Soda blasting or glass beading it would give it a uniform rough finish with soda being smoother and glass being rougher.

Diztronic tpu review!

So my flat black tpu case by Diztronic came today and let me tell you it is hands down better than anything out there and I could not be more pleased. I am comparing this to the Rearth slim case I was using and before that I also had the Ebay S line case for a couple days and while that case is also tpu, it is truly ghetto compared to this Diztronic. The fit is perfect and while buttons are covered there is still little effort needed to push them unlike many tpu cases. The feel of the case on the phone is also on the premium side and the matte black back does not attract fingerprints either. The other great feature about this case is the slightly raised lip going around the screen which is just right for anyone wanting to play music/put their phone face down. All of this is had with virtually no added bulk either. I highly recommend this case and know you will be happy with it.

It definitely looks better than the "S" TPU case, but does it offer more protection in your opinion.
It seems from your pics the lips on the front are higher than the ones on the "S"?
How good is the fit? would you say it's tight? Does the case come off easily?
Looks good, might still purchase this, although it looks exactly the same as the I-Blason case I have on my N4 already.
Hows the call quality? People complained about the official N4 bumper ruining the microphone quality so I'm wondering if it happens with this too.
I have one of these on order myself.
Would you say the Diztronic is significantly better than the Ringke Rearth Slim case? I've got the Ringke case and it doesn't fit as tight as it could around the volume rocker, too much play for my liking. Also my girlfriend hates how the four corners stick up a little from the screen (to protect the screen if its face down) she says they poke her in the ear on phone calls... Wish I had bought two of the Diztronic cases now

I don't have a case at all and I have to position the phone in a certain position on my face for anyone to hear me as it is. If a case or bumper further negates from the call quality I am going to have to pass. Even though I already ordered this and it should be here soon.
1. The call quality is not affected I already had two calls with the case on and it sounds great.
2. The lip is raised a bit more than the S case but not overly done, it will not bother you at all
3. This case feels very good on the phone, it is easy to get off it your actually trying to take it off other that that there is no annoying flex from the tpu or anything like the cheap ones (S case)
4. This is much better that the rearth slim because having this on gives me the feeling of better protecting just by how it feels in the hand and protects the entire bezel which a slim case does not do.
I may order the Diztronic shell case when that come out next week too
I think the stock bumper is stupid anyways
Haven't tried any other case for the nexus 4.but this diztronic case is easily the highest quality tpu I've ever used... Feels great. Love it.

it's definitely not the same as the i-blason case. I have two i-blason and the diztronic. the diztronic is sooo much better. i used to use their case on my gnex. very good quality.
Got my case yesterday. It fits nicely, has a good feel and looks pretty good too. Doesn't really add much bulk. The seams on 2 corners on the other hand seem a bit shoddy and looks like it might peel away over time. Curious to know if anyone else's case is like that too. Will contact Diztronic and see what they say.
I'm debating whether I should purchase this case in black or the smoke color

Just received mine as well, and YES THIS IS THE BEST CASE OUT THERE FOR THE N4 IMO
in every aspect, design, feel, protection this case is definitely the best, glad I bought this case.
Just got one. Great looking case and real nice feel. My XtremeGuard screen protector peels a bit on the corners. Any suggestions on screen protectors that wouldn't have this issue?

I would get the black one, I also thought about the smoke color since it allows you to see the nexus logo on the back which is pretty attractive. But the Distronic logo kinda overlayed the LG logo and that's a no-no for me. But since Distronic has a no-hassle free return policy, you can always return it if you're not satisfied with your purchase.

Just arrived Spigen Ultra Hybrid crystal clear

Extremely happy. Case fits my phone perfect. The cut outs are spot on however I wish the nexus scanner were wider however I'm sure it's something I will get use to.
The case makes the phone feel a lot more solid and not as fragile as it once did. My phone always felt like it was one drop away from being destroyed completely. Spigen did well by not adding a lot of weight to the phone and having the phones buttons cut out well but not perfect. There's not much separation between the volume up and down. It now feels like one large button. The headphone, camera, rear mic and charger are cut out clean with enough space.
The lip between the phone screen and case are perfect where I feel comfortable placing the phone on its screen side and not worry about it being scratched. The lip isn't so large that you feel this huge separation between phone and case.
9/10 imo. Hope this helps. Ask any questions you need.

There are 2 parts, the back is hard but the top, bottom, sides and corners are all softer and rubbery to absorb shock.
Tyvm! When I first saw this case I thought it was kind of ugly. It grew on me to the point I am actually looking forward to this one more than any of the others I already have.

Is that a hairline crack on the bottom right corner of the cutout for the fingerprint scanner? It's faint so I can't really tell.
Looks really similar to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/accessories/spigen-ultra-hybrid-crack-finger-print-t3247766

Tyvm! When I first saw this case I thought it was kind of ugly. It grew on me to the point I am actually looking forward to this one more than any of the others I already have.

Yeah overall I am very happy but I am not that guy that has several cases. I usually buy 1 and stick to it. I cant complain.

I literally have less anxiety knowing my phone has a case now. I may contact spigen but I am not that anal. Plus I dont want to go without a case again.
Anyone know how this compares to the Ringke Fusion clear case? I thought they were exactly the same at first, but it looks like the Spigen leaves the whole visor exposed, while the Ringke only has a small cutout. I had to return my Ringke to Amazon because the TPU had a medium sized tear in the corner. I'm wondering if I should get this instead.

Mine has the hairline crack too. I guess it's just a design flaw.

Yup. I got a crack in mine too. Probably how its molded. I spent a couple minutes trying to get it off thinking it was a smudge.
Spigen. They are top notch and you can't go wrong with them. I surely wouldn't let the crack stop you. I don't believe it effects the integrity of the case doing its job

Does the case affect the finger print scanner on the back?

Out shouldn't, Spigen cases have some of the best cutouts and Ive never had any issues with it on their tough armor that I'm using now. The cutout is likely the same size as their other case which would make it ~14.45mm according to my caliper. It's the perfect size in my opinion

If they put out a Slim Armor or Neo Hybrid, I'd buy them! Their "shimmery white" color on the Nexus 6 case was amazing! It was like an iridescent white. Very cool. The Frost N6P would look so damn sexy in one like that.

I have a graphite one after owning a CW Nexus 6 its a nice change. I would like a NeoHybrid in clear ideally but it won't happen

Whew, glad I'm not the only one with that weird line where the fingerprint cutout is. I guess it's there on purpose?

Over at reddit some users are seeing that line too:
reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/3sl3iu/just_got_the_spigen_ultra_hybrid_crystal_clear
Interstingly, in the reddit OP's imgur album you can clearly see that there is no crack/scratch before the case was installed. In the later photos the crack appears when the case is on the phone.
Direct link to imgur album: imgur.com/a/pLn4g
Im guessing that the tension introduced to the case when snapping it onto the phone is causing the crack to appear. However, from the few cases I've seen it seems that so far these cases have the exact same small crack at the same position, so it may could be there on purpose. Only the guys at Spigen will know for sure.
I experienced the same hairline crack and contacted Spigen's CS team. They're helpful and sent out a replacement one for me. If you're willing to deal with the short wait time, then i'd say go for it.
