Im one of those people who don't like spending hundreds of pound for well designed slimline tech then make it unslimline by
adding a bulky case, ill prefer letting it get few scratches and enjoying.
When i brought the phone i bought the ballistic case £30 but its just to big and ugly very protective but no nice to look at or feel
what im using is a dbrand carbon fibre skin to protect the back and it looks awsome feels good too, and black pouch that ill use
when going out

I have a bootleg replica bumper case. Dropped my phone a few times and everything is still good. I do use it repeatedly without any protection. I am looking to purchasing a tempered glass protection but I can't find anything descent that's affordable and mimics the actual screen.
Bumper with screen protecter is enough

cheap leather bro, plus it doesnt fit it snug could fit a 6 inch phone in them there not made to measure
Mine fits, it is a little snug but it should stretch out after a while, plus the curves fits the N4 perfectly, can't complain for the price
Ringke Slim case, with spigen ultra crystal front/back screen protectors. I have a pouch i carry it in sometimes when i'm out and about.
always naked and lo and behold it's still doing fine after 6 months and several drops. on the front I have 4 minor scratches and 3 of them are not in the screen area. the other is so miniscule it's invisible if you aren't looking for it.

I've got the official bumper, couple of s line cases, the nillkin hard case and the meifeng rubber feel hard case. All of them serve their purpose. Meifeng and nillkin are my daily drivers. Official bumper makes the phone too wide in my opinion.. good luck!

Surprised I haven't seen any reviews of the Cygnett cases. I've seen other Cygnett cases on previous phones and always wanted to try them out.
The case is a simple snap on design. The Carbon Fiber back looks really sleek and you can tell it is of high grade carbon fiber material. My favorite part of the case is actually the sides. The sides are of a matte finish that really enhances the grip of the phone. If you're looking for a real slim case, then this will be a good one to look for. The case is kind of expensive sitting at 30 dollars, but I feel the quality is worth it. I've had similar snap on cases from Ringke, SGP, and Elago, but the Cygnett case design is superior and overall the case just feels much sturdier. Also the matte finish has the best grip of any snap on case I've ever used.
If you're looking for protection, this case won't help much at all. I have dropped the phone from 5ft onto concrete and I heard a small bounce. When I looked at the phone, it was perfect, but I wouldn't rely on it.
Wow Cool :thumbup:
How is the lip on the device? I like that carbon fiber and their brushed aluminum one and I need to get a new case but I want to make sure that the lip is decent on the front if i place the phone face down.

The Lip is barely there. I'm talking like a 0.7mm lip over the front. The glass won't touch the ground when lied flat on its face.I even have a Mime glass protector on it and it still doesn't touch the ground.
nice casing and looks very sturdy
Does the back feel matte or glossy?

I have the white carbon fiber version and the sides are more slippery (not matte) and the back looks like it is just woven tinsel. I would recommend getting the black version, NOT the white. I stupidly thought that it would look like the black carbon fiber, just white...

I purchased the Caseology carbon fiber bumper frame case with the champagne colored bumper. I also purchased the same case with the "silver mesh" and the silver bumper. I put the silver bumper on the carbon fiber case and it looks sweet. I would like to try and remove the gold "CASEOLOGY" lettering that's on the carbon fiber portion of the back
Any suggestions on what to use without borking up the carbon fiber itself?
Answering my own question...91% isopropyl alcohol and some elbow grease did the trick.

Maybe a Sugar Cube? I remember using them back in the days to remove the logos from those Windows HTC phones.
I did the slickwraps carbon fiber black with a tempered glass protector with the wrap on top. Also the front wrap doesn't have cutouts for the recent or back button but it still works i think it looks better too. Screen sensitivity took a hit though. Wish evutec would make a kevlar case for the note 7
I two different skins for my new OnePlus 6 mirror black variant. I was able to turn the phone to white. I have previously tried the carbon black and the wood for my galaxy s9. This time I decided to try the white skin.
If you are familiar with phantom skins, the provide different kind of skins like dbrand, but comes with extras such as the screen protector, cleaning wipe, the liquid solution and a much better overall packing.
The installation video is on their youtube channel. The process is straight forward.
I went with the metallic white, which looks great. The grip is definitely better than the glass back. If you want more grip, go with the carbon fiber.
