Anyone just using a skin on the back of the phone? If so which one?
Dont like using a case. But its slippery without it.
Anyone used grip tape on their phone?
I tried using the back protector (which comes with screen protectors) and was nice. But dont use anything anymore.
I did ask dbrand if they will make some skins, they said it's not a definite no, they are still gathering input, which apparently is just large enough to keep considering.
They will only make Mix skins if they get enough requests, so I guess it'd make sense for all of us to place requests on their website.
If you reside in the US, you can check out "Decalrus" on amazon. Designs are in the hundreds. 5 bucks i think. Comes with front skin for bottom bezel. Their homepage has a creator for custom skins also, but the mix is not listed there or anywhere on their page. They seem to have messed up with their layers when creating the illustration images. Screen has sony icons, and back skin has the selfie camera too. I would roll the dice on one if I could.

Even I had enquired with dbrand and they replied that this isnt happening.
Seems there isnt sufficient demand for them to allocate their time and resources for the Mix.
I highly doubt that we will see a skin from dbrand as the Mix is still very much a "concept device". It doesn't look like there are many (a considerable number) people, who have the device.
Its just a few of us here and maybe a few in China. And then a few more who don't generally post on forums. So not a big number
I wonder where all the 10000 units manufactured per month are going to.

Mi Mix Full coverage Wood pattern skin
Check this out! These are the only skins I could find at the moment. Like any skin, It would only offer protection from scratches though. Its made of dirt resistant PVC, and is advertised to have a real wood-like texture.
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/182256599373?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Bought this, shipping took forever but it's pretty decent quality. Cutouts for camera, flash, and fingerprint sensor are accurate and it's textured for some grip. Application is fairly easy. The seller shipped 3 I'm thinking of buying a dbrand skin for a tablet and cutting it using one of these as a template to see how that goes. Not that there's anything wrong with this one but just because nothing can compete with dbrand when it comes to skins.
Guys I have just ordered from on AliExpress a carbon fiber skin. This is LITERALLY the only thing available on the whole website.
Can't post link because I am new, I can send PM if interested.
I hate carbon fiber feeling and I won't be covering the back of the phone. The only reason I bought this is because it's the only item that has sticker pieces that attach to the SIDE of the phone that will provide, at least technically, some more grip.
As soon as it will arrive I'll give feedback.
elialitem pls send me the link to that skin
I I'm new too and I don't know how to use the pm /:

Hey I found an alternate solution for the slipperyness of this phone.
There is a product you can buy that puts a thin layer of protective glass over the entire smartphone.
This glass gives the phone a better more solid feel and is much more grippy.
They go for quite cheap too on eBay just a couple dollars.

Does it helps for better grip?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Hello,
I got today the carbon fiber dbrand-style skin from Aliexpress.
Here are the pictures: 1 2 3 4 5
As you can see, the sides parts of the skin were cut short which make this extremely not pretty to look at. However, grip of the phone increased dramatically.
It does not feel like a dbrand skin, it does feel it's just a sticker, however the fake carbon fiber does give a lot of grip. The sides of the sticker as well are very sharp which improve even more grip, but makes me wonder about durability of this sticker. Being so sharp means dust can easily get underneat it.
Probably worth the 3 euros that it costs, not more.

Hey fellas,
I used to post my reviews over on the Galaxy S3 forums (and the Galaxy Nexus, S2 and Nexus S forums before that), but since I've recently gotten my Nexus 4, I decided to start my coverage as soon as possible. As most of you know, brand name cases are still hard to find but should be released in the next few weeks. I decided to pick up a temporary case in the TPU S-Case and wanted to share my thoughts. This is a simple TPU case that offers contrasting matte and glossy portions to create a cool design.
The case offers a moderate amount of protection without adding too much bulk and is extremely affordable at only 5$! I'm happy to take a look at any cases you'd like me to, so feel free to recommend anything! I will be posting a ton more content on the channel. Check out the full review of the S-Case below and let me know what you think:
I remember your vids from the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus forums. Nice to see you covering accessories for the N4 as well
as for the case, I'm tempted to order one because of the cheap price tag to hold me over until the Rearth slim gets here but then again it might arrive the same time as my N4

Thanks man! Rearth cases ship on the 30th, so you'd only have this one for a few days. I'm really excited to get the Slim case though, looks terrific and Rearth has yet to disappoint me!
I had one of these for my nexus S and threw it away in the same day.
This is just a piece of rubber bulky trash..
My case came in yesterday from kaycase. I got it for .99 cents!!!
There were several brands selling these on Amazon for various prices. It's hard to pick when there are almost no reviews, because no one has their phone. o.o I ended up buying one from "YESOO" (best name ever) that, for ~$6, came with a stylus too. Sure, why not? I like that they are providing clear options, to keep the N4 sparkle effect, but it's sad that basically no one is making a fully clear case yet. It's all the S design. (Normally that'd be great, but the N4 doesn't need window dressing. ) The Rearth ones look really nice too (very Feather-like) but no clear ones.

Yeah, I'm on the lookout for a case that shows off the back too! Rearth is sending me their cases out late this week/early next so I should have videos up on those soon. They always make good quality products in my opinion!
I don't think we will be able to get a clear gel case because it would look like it had water under the case like the clear part ot the clear and frosted S case.

I actually have this case for my HTC Glacier (MyTouch 4G). It's been a very durable case that has protected my phone very well (from 8-10 foot drops from a ladder). I'm a construction worker, and this case has outlasted more expensive models from Trident Case. There is one thing I would like to point out to anyone that is thinking of picking this case up. As a construction worker, I'm not always in the cleanest of environments. This case will allow dirt, dust, and sand to collect between the case and the back of the phone. The metal back of the Glacier is very ugly to look at now because of this. As anyone who has looked into Gorilla Glass 2 knows, sand is it's enemy. This is true of all materials though, dirt and sand will wreck havoc on anything. Just a heads up to anyone that's "hard" on their device. Otherwise, I have no complaints, especially the fall protection this case has proven.
I drop my phone a lot.
I ordered one of these from ebay, the clear and frost one for $5 as well. On amazon a lot of the cases were around $10.

I wonder if one of those front-and-back screen protectors would help with that? I've noticed that with other TPU cases I've had too. (For whatever reason, my Feather on my Nexus S hasn't gathered dirt. It's nice.)
Something else that's kind of concerned me with the N4's dual glass, and a TPU case, is accidental side-crushing. Like if you put it in a pocket and then accidentally run into the corner of something. The hard cases are nice for that... aaahh! Choices! :silly: The TPU was cheap so it'll give me some peace of mind until there's more selection, at least.
So many questions!

How much bulk? What are the external dimensions of this case?
Do you use a screen protector? If yes, is the case covering it? touching it? pushing against it?

Hey, I'm the guy that owns this case on his MyTouch 4G. Since your inquiry doesn't have a response, I'll tell you about the version I have. It's the thinnest, sleekest case I have seen for a phone that isn't a skin layer. It actually wraps around the phone, creating a lip for the front of the phone. This is great if the phone ever winds up face down, as it keeps the screen from coming in contact with the surface the phone is lying on.
I would say the case is about 1/32nd of an inch thick, adding a total of maybe a 16th of an inch to the width of the phone (sorry if this isn't helpful, I live in the US and my job consists of a lot of measurements in inches). The sides of the case have a raised diamond plate pattern to it that helps immensely with keeping your grip on the device.
With the case wrapping around the bevels of the screen, I have found that it will push on any full screen protectors I have installed. You can easily wrap the case around the screen protectors to prevent this, but I store my phone in my pocket, so when I reach in there to pull it out, I tend to grip the case which causes it to bend just enough to slip back and push the screen protector again. This of course causes the protector to bow and collect dust. If you can keep the case's edge on the screen protector, I wouldn't see this being an issue, but it is something I have experienced.
As stated, this is my opinion on the version for the MyTouch 4G, though the design seems nearly identical, with the buttons in different places. I hope it's helpful, and perhaps you'll get some information from someone with the Nexus 4 version. I'm hoping to find a durable case for my Nexus 4. With that full glass body, I don't want to hide it, but as stated previously, I'm a construction worker and need to protect it.
$2.30 on dealextreme
I found the standard S-case for $2.30 on dealextreme. I can't post the links because I'm a new member but you can find it if you look it up on their website. Probably cheaper than anywhere else, if you don't mind the shipping times.
I bought one of the ones from Amazon, mainly cause I had a $20 gift card from buying Halo 4 during Black Friday, and so I could use Prime Shipping. Here's the video overview I put together:
Note: I bought this one http://amzn.to/11PmX90 and the photos show the logo on the bottom of the back - this logo is not there on the actual product.
It's really nice. I'd rather have an Otterbox, but this works in the meantime.

I believe Ebay is where they're finding them for $5. You also end up with longer shipping times, etc. Pretty sure it's the same case at the end of the day.

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.

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.

For most phones and tablets it's pretty easy to find decent cases, iPhone and iPad Users are spoilt for choice, Samsung useres can also pick and choose how they like, even for the Nexus 5X and 6P one can find an abundance of cases in any color shape or form. But not for the Pixel C - doubtless this is because of the slender market for this tablet. I have been looking all over the net for a simple TPU case for the Pixel C, you know the type of silicone case that just covers the back of the device but not the screen. All I could find was universal folio cases or smart cases with a lid. I even tried my luck on searching Chinese wholesale but no luck. If anyone has come across a simple back cover only TPU or hard shell case that only covers the back please let me know.
Thanks so much.

yep. this. i want the rubber bumper case type cover because the back of the device is so slick that it tends to want to slide off my lap. also, it would be nice to have something to soften the bezel edge because it can dig into your hands if you're holding it for a long time.
Totally agree. There seems to be a Chinese design for a bumper case, however it doesn't seem possible to order it at the moment. Anyone else had any luck finding one ?

I already contacted them, the description is wrong. They sell "normal" pu leather folios, some are bundled with headphones or screen protectors. They removed the product i mentioned in my request but all other bundles are still listed with the wrong description.

Other interesting alternatives I have seen so far is the full body coverage skin

That's exactly my concern also. At most it'll just prevent scratches on the original metal body, wouldn't prevent / provide enough protection from possible little bumps / drops during daily uses.

Exactly, a Skin is not enough, a Folio Case will protect the Pixel C allround but I really dislike the front Display flap. Very annoying. I opted for buying the skinomi techskin combined with this http://www.amazon.com/Booncover-Uni...=UTF8&qid=1463390156&sr=8-2&keywords=Reboon+l

I ordered a cheap chinese tpu case for a samsung galaxy tab 10.1 but it does not fit.
The corners of the Samsung device are rounder than the pixel c. Height and width are ok.
I had to remove the corners of the case, now the tablet fits, but the corners are needed to give the case stability and keep it around the tablet.
Without the corners the case slips down of the tablet easily. I hoped it would fit but without the stability it is useless for me...
Hopefully Spigen makes something
Hopefully they eventually sell the phones lol

I'd like some traditional cases as well that doesn't have cutouts for accessories. Different cases for different needs.
The point on this phone is not to have a case lol

why? Because of the materials used?
Id still like a very thin case around it for a better grip and against any scuffles

Yes. Look at drop video. It should be pretty resilient to scuffs
cases ruin phone's beauty, use only tempered glass.
Reviews out today mentioned the materials are a little slippery. Android Authority reviewer said he dropped it a few times because of the slippery feel and The Verge said it's borderline slippery.
I was going to go no case on this but if it's not very grippy, I want at least a bumper to help with grip. I wouldn't mind even some kind of adhesive skin for the sides to help with grip.

Bumpers add too much bulk. Skin is the way to go but I have not found any yet. I just want one for the back to prevent fingerprints. Even if just a clear one.

dbrand has skins on pre-order. Just saw a little while ago. I think I'll go this route, but I'd rather see for myself how this feels in the hand first.
I like dbrand but A) very slow shipping and B) not as much variety as SW. SW innovates on the materials a lot more.

Would be a constructive comment if SW had any skins for the essential phone dbrand is our only option atm.
I'd love an olephobic coated tempered glass piece to go on the back. Much like a screen protector, but for the back to give extra grip over the ceramic, help resist fingerprints even though it's glass, but have cutouts for the accessories and such. The glass should be thin enough not to interfere with putting accessories on
I have a Mi Mix witch is very similar build being that is ceramic and and I actually think opposite of reviews that said the Mix is slippery. I find the material sticks to my hands. Maybe I'm just really sweaty or something lol. I'm not worried about slippery in the slightest
I really want some sort of back skin. I don't like the bright or flashy stuff. I think dbrand black titanium would look great on it but I think it's kind of slippery because the texture is vertical only. I tried black dragon on another phone and found it no grippier than any other skin. I just really want grip and to avoid smudges. No one has a clear film skin yet either. But maybe a matte one of those would help. Anyone find anything?

SW alcantara would be the best.... It's kind of thick though
Anyone trust those liquid screen protectors?

I sent an email to Spigen to ask about tempered glass screen protector and the possibility of a case and maybe a tempered glass back. They havent responded, but I doubt they will since I am pretty sure they will be boycotting making anything for this phone due to thier trying to get a cease and desist against the entire Essential company, phone included.
So first off loving my 1+6 (8/128). Super fast and just plain awesome! Puts my S8+ in the dust
But my main reason for this post is about the included phone case that came with the phone. I haven't seen anyone mention it on here, so wasn't sure if anyone was aware. But inside the box the the phone is attached to once you unbox it, there is a basic style phone case inside. It's nothing fancy, but it's a case. And it's FREE. I actually like it, and was so glad it was there as I didn't want to wait several days for a case to be ordered and delivered. Granted, I completely bypassed that part of the unboxing as it usually just includes the "paperwork" that nobody reads. But after a day, I was hurting for protection on my phone. Always carefully putting it down somewhere where it wouldn't slide and scratch the backing. Or on something super soft. So, I just so happened to re-open the box and look inside and to my surprise, there was a case.
So, this phone is not only awesome in speed and performance (minus a bit of battery issues at the moment), but they also include a pre-attached screen protector AND a phone case! WOW...hats off to you OnePlus! More OEMs should be taking a page out of your book...ESPECIALLY for the prices we are asked to pay for these "premium" phones.
It's a high quality case and I like it a lot.
I knew about the free case inside the box but I bought other 2 cases from Oneplus, I like the one from the package more.
It doesn't suck, and I'm glad not to have to go naked with a glass phone while I wait for a real case from UAG. Nice gesture from OP, though these TPU cases cost about 50 cents to make.
Compared to other TPU cases ain't bad.
I jsut hate transparent TPU cases, with dust getting between the case and the phone
I really like it for indoor environment, pretty slim, grippy, light weight raised bezels, especially on corners, good quality material and air bags on corners
I don't like it. But I don't like gel cases full stop. They're too sticky for me. I've bought the silicone case though which is amazing.
Indeed, I was glad to see one included, though I did know about it beforehand as it was listed in the "What's inside the box" portion of the web site. I am putting on a rugged case in a couple of weeks but for now am happy my OP6 is protected to some degree.
Uh... They've been including a case since the 5T and have had the even pre applied even protector for quite a while now. And I would suggest getting the nylon bumper case it's much safer and doesn't make the device bulky. Didn't look through the whole box lmao.
Let me share my OP6 experience. I used the included case for a good 3 days and I think it's a decent option. Coming from OnePlus One, I decided to buy the sandstone back case for my OP6 and boy oh boy, it's premium! Although there is compromise with safety as it doesn't wrap up the phone completely but for someone like me who doesn't drop his phone much, this premium case if pure gold! Totally recommended ♥
Edit: Adds zero bulk to the phone, fits like a glove and even covers the camera bump with ease. As I've already mentioned a few times before, it feels and looks premium!
it's a good case, i'd just prefer a black rim because it looks a bit grayish from the front while the back looks grat transparent.
however, it's not only free, it's also decent ?
I have the silk white and when sunlight hits the case the whole surrounded areas of the phone glow a pinkish light. Super cool effect.
Is the camera bump really protected? I've been using the included case for a couple of days and I cannot tell for sure if it does. I really love slim cases as dropping the phone is quite improbable in my case, but getting the camera glass scratched for putting the phone on a table would be a bummer.

I was also wondering this, I tried it on a glass table and looked from underneath and I would say the camera glass is not protected by the stock case. I wonder if it would be the same case with the karbon bumper

My search for the same answer brought me here. It looks like it's flush with the case but it's so close it's hard to tell. The case is thin and grippy and the buttons are easier to press compared to the nylon case. If I knew the camera was protected I would use it as my main case.

Thanks for that info. I guess I won't use this case on a regular.
I prefer cases that are as slim as possible. The phone is big already, and adding even more bulk with a sturdy case makes it even more cumbersome. I'm considering other choices as I don't want the camera to get scratches, but I haven't seen transparent/flexible with enough thickness to guarantee camera protection. OP cases are also compatible with the tempered glass, so I guess I'll have to go with one of the official cases (have an unopened sandstone, but again, I don't know how it fares regarding the camera).

Yep that's indeed the case
Didn't realize it until I checked the box when I selling the 5T. Then I realized I had one with the 6 as well. Definitely great that both a pre-applied protector and a case are included in the box.

I usually protect the lens with Dbrands along with the body of the phone. You can also instead opt for lens glass protectors which can be purchased pretty cheaply.
Where can I buy this case?
Would love to know this as well. I've been thinking of buying the same thing with the same colour and I've never been able to find one
