SGP Ultra Slider - Case

Check this out!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXMqxAgKnA4&feature=youtu.be&a

i like
but cant find any of these SGP cases or protectors from UK sellers yet?

not good, it's a plastic hard case
it will blow up apart at the first drop, i've had cases like that for other phones, not good for protection.
okay for fashion

OMG !!!!
where i can buy it ?

Pretty good, although I want a case that removes the current backpanel that utilizes those hinges and saves some space. Having a case on top of a removal and useless backpanel seems a waste to me.

but will it scratch the chrome bezel badly when keep slide in and out?

Likely, but we don't know till someone gets it.

this looks pretty useless to me. Just like an above poster said, the case is made of a plastic that will shatter and crack upon impact and will not be a very good protector for the SGS.
Another thing i'm wondering is, what's the point of this sliding mechanism? I mean, if the case is meant to be on the phone all the time, is the sliding feature only good for removing the phone? If so, i don't see the point for an extra feature like that when we can just remove the phone the conventional way like with most hardcover back cases.
If the case is only for storage, like when you put it in your pocket, and that you will remove it when using it, wouldnt a leather case pouch be more practical and offer better protection?
Just my 2 cents.

i actually tried one of those in the stores yesterday, and i didn't like it the plastic is really too hard, it will not offer impact (drop) protection
the mesh type cases found on the other Case topic offers more protection that this
however of all the 3 type of cases i've tried, the Silicon type is the best, it kinda sucks in looks (there are a few colour and types that does looks good), and it offers the most protection for accidental drops

The fact that it shatters when it hits the floor shouldn't be a bad thing in terms of protecting the phone, other than having to buy a new case.
A phone hitting a floor is all about dissipation of energy - if the energy goes into cracking and breaking a case apart, then a lot of the impact energy will be absorbed by the case breaking. That's why crash helmets commonly break on impact.
A rubbery/solid case might seem a better idea if you accidentally drop your phone, but in reality the shock will be transferred through the rubber (although somewhat dampened) and into the phone structure - and is so in a way more likely to crack the screen/phone chassis.
Of course it depends on the surface, angle of impact and height of the drop, but in general, if your phone falls and the back cover/case/battery fly out, it's better that the impact energy is distributed into these pieces than being absorbed straight into the phone/screen.

This case caught my interest, my only concern is that when we slide in the galaxy S.. would it scratch the chrome bezel ?

warping up plastic in more plastic..

Ordered mine in dante red (10 days shipping )
But will do a video review on my youtube channel when it arrives

For the SGP Ultra Slider, how would you attach a phone strap??

Exactly my sentiment. Most likely you can't

A rubbery/solid case might seem a better idea if you accidentally drop your phone, but in reality the shock will be transferred through the rubber (although somewhat dampened) and into the phone structure - and is so in a way more likely to crack the screen/phone chassis.
The deal with rubbery case is that it is elastic, it's able to deform and hence reduce the impact/impulse, the same way car bumpers are designed for
Back to topic: I like the slider, maybe too slippery for me =(

Finally some case common sense. I for one am going to order a SGP. I have owned nothing but hard cases like the above, the slider and innocaseII and they have all been through hell and back.

Let me know how it is with a glass screen protector.

I love having waterproof cases so I couldn't help myself and thank god for HTC Champions. Was able to snag one up for 67.83 with 3-8 day shipping from their discount store we'll see how it performs right now I've been using my 6 Plus due to having a lifeproof on it now.
EDIT: Saw it on B&H Photo for $69.99 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1130870-REG/htc_99h_20088_00_active_case_for_htc.html

Tried a waterproof case. But it can't do the normal use underwater.

I ordered one. I'll review it once it arrives next week (B&H has it for $70).

What do you mean? Of course you can't use a touch screen under water; that's the nature of the beast. Or do you mean that this HTC case isn't actually water resistant?

Just got mine. Fits fine with the .33 mm glass protector.
My one qualm is that you have to get used to pressing the buttons. Maybe it's the screen protector offsetting them, but the case clicks if you push the buttons wrong, possibly allowing air/water in.

That is probably due to your thick glass screen protector. Here's a video that explains why (it's on an iPhone 6 Plus, but the principal applies):
Also, (with me being paranoid with things like that,) because you've attempted to snap your case shut with such a thick screen protector installed, it would cause me (personally) to now distrust the water resisting ability of the cases seals, since you've now stretched the locking mechanisms.

I know .It can't do the normal use under the water. but even not under the water.

Are you saying that the case reduces functionality in general?

Yes, So do you have one workable for me?

Wow. $100 for a case, it's too expensive for me:crying:

It came today. Passed the initial soak test with no issue. Put my phone in, noticed that the buttons weren't responsive.
As it turns out, I didn't have the case snapped together properly. And the top will not stay snapped properly, and if you press on the back, the side with the volume buttons undoes its proper seal.
HTCs box says to contact the retailer, so I've reached out to B&H. Hopefully it was a manufacturing defect and not that my M9 is fatter than others'.

I got mine late last week, and while it is plenty waterproof, the ports for the usb charger are much too small for anything but the pen cable. As i use a car dock almost daily that has a special connector, that isn't going to work, so I'm gonna return it.

Yeah, exactly the same issue as mine. Takes a bit of pressure to snap the buttons into place, and the top doesn't stay shut.

My replacement from B&H should be here tomorrow. The first thing I'm going to do is try to make sure that it snaps shut properly. If not, I'm not risking my phone in it, and HTC will have made me sad.

Not really.
---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------
I received my replacement from B&H.
This one seals fairly better than the first, however still not as completely as the instruction booklet would have me believe. It passed the water test fine. I even dropped it from chest height into a cooler full of ice water and pop to impress my coworkers, and it was fine. The issue where you could squeeze it and it'd pop open is reduced on this case, but not completely gone; there's one spot that i can squeeze and the seal will appear to break.
So as of this time, my mini-review is as follows:
Better integrated screen protector than LifeProof can muster.
Better sound than LifeProof (though this is also probably due to the speakers).
Call volume in the ear piece is diminished (as to be expected), so don't expect to be able to take a call in a busy place.
Great hand feel, slim.
Not quite trustworthy (IMO) yet. I'd be fine with it to protect walking to the car, or riding a water ride at an amusement park. I don't know that I'd take it for a swim yet.
I've reached out to HTC on Facebook and Twitter and haven't received a reply yet.

Sensitivity of the screen in the water
Who can tell if the screen is easy to control?

Love Mei full body case

Has anyone used on of these before?
See here - http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=262106756894&alt=web
If so what are your opinions? I want a tough rugged case to keep my phone safe as i work on sites a lot being an electrician. This is currently the only full body one I've come across so far

I have not come across this case or company, but my initial impression is this case is pretty hardcore. I myself am a technician out in the field looking for a more ruggedized case. The only things that sticks out to me that I wouldn't like are the branding and the screws. If you don't ever plan on switching this case out then it's fine, but for me personally I like to switch out cases depending on occasion and I wouldn't want to carry this bulky thing for a night on the town. For people who like to switch you have to take into consideration not to lose the screws. The price seems appropriate, but with as heavy duty as this case is I'm surprised they didn't make it waterproof.

I had an iblason armourbox on my old phone (nexus 5) and it was full body like the love mei but all just clipped over itself together but I can't find anything else similar yet for the Z5. I like the look of this love mei case but it looks like it could be annoying for some reason

I personally had one of these for my Z3, I really don't recommend it, to me it's too heavy, yeah sure it looks like it's bulletproof, but having owning one, I could not live with it on a day to day basis

Sent from my Xperia z5 by Tapatalk

I' planning on getting one for summertime adventures at the lake / river, but I also wouldn't use it on a daily basis, just when I want to be extra sure that it's sufficiently waterproof, perhaps beyond sony's official suggested use.

I used one on my Z2 (sent it back, due to front glass being loose, and didn't order another since it didn't really suit me). Here's pros and cons, at least for me. You might not mind them.
Pros:
-ROCK SOLID build quality. All (real) metal, with (real) front glass screen protector. There's multiple layers to the case, and I felt like a freaking bullet could hit it.
-Very reasonable price
-Lanyard hole
-Really gorgeous finish, paintjob is top-notch and feels great (I had the red one)
Cons:
-RIDICULOUSLY heavy, though this might not bother you. This took the weight of my Z2 from 163g to 393g.
-A lot bulkier than the photos make it look. This fits into almost no pockets without awkwardly pushing it with force into and out of them.
-If for whatever reason you want to take it off, you need the screwdriver, and when you have it, it takes a good almost-minute or so to take it on or off.
-No fingerprint scanner (at least in your case)
-It's not waterproof, so if submerged or put under a tap, water easily gets in, and sits against the glass screen protector, meaning you have to take the case off, wipe the glass and put it back on.
Honestly, I'm sure you don't care about 90% of these, and just want a solid, rugged, affordable case. In that case (pun intended ;3), grab it. They're really well made and should protect against anything.

Don't for that, it actually removes the waterproofing ability. Water easily gets in the case, and sits against the phone, which can actually damage the phone if left for long enough. Also, it sits against the glass front panel of the case, and presses the screen, meaning you have to take the case off with the damn screwdriver and dry it.

Lol thanks. I'm thinking maybe a case mate tough with tempered glass front may be a better option

Oh, really? good to know. That's super annoying. I bought a cheaper case for my galaxy note 2 http://goo.gl/lLD9yU and it works like a charm! I took my phone swimming this last summer and in the river and all over the place. It was awesome. I just don't like the galaxy lineup because they don't have a dedicated camera button, which really helps when trying to film or photograph underwater. (I'm also annoyed that their current lineup doesn't have a micro SD card slot anymore.) One time, It even fell off of my arm band and had fallen like 16 feet before I noticed. I had to dive down after it. I'm glad I got the white one. If I had gotten a darker color, I'd never have seen it as it was falling. anyway, the upshot is, I recovered my phone and water never got into the case. I really hope this cheap, knock-off manufacturer will also make cases for the z5 because I'm exceedingly happy with the one for my note 2.

Love Mei case
I had Love Mei case for z2 that was stolen few weeks ago. Getting new phone by 1 Dec,
Ordered case for Z5 on 1 Nov from love mei website direct. Stupid enough to pay extra for speedy delivery and order is still processing after 20 days. not even sent from them with a tracking number.
Not responding to emails. $49 in the water

I have this case now and it was cool at first but now its annoying. It's heavy, my fingers barely could drag down the status bars in both landscape and portrait mouse and dust build in the cut out for the front camera lens and sensor. I'm going to the devil bumper case soon. But it did protect you phone well (even tho I really never dropped it) but it'll protect your 700 dollar investment.
Edit:
Just realized that it covers the notification light
And the dust that piles up inside is ridiculous.

I have this and it is heavy not waterproof and the camera button does not work properly you can turn on the camera but you can't take pictures but other than that it provides a good protection but there are better ones out there

The case isn't that bad. Today it's my fifth day using it and it does its job. The first two days it made my z5 look like a phablet but I got used to the look and the feel (I have some big hands so there are no problems with touching any of the screen corners with the thumb :good. It has 3 layers: a metal plate on the back, some rubber too and the protective glass on the front (you get 6 screws for the front and other 2 just in case+2 screwdrivers). The rubber buttons press like there is no case on them. Unfortunately the case is too protective so it covers the fingerprint scanner. Overall, the case does its thing and it's a bestbuy if you don't mind losing the fingerprint scanner and having a solid look

Quality feel (use of materials)

Rate this thread to express how you think the Google Pixel XL feels in terms of quality. A higher rating indicates that it feels premium and high-quality (attention to detail is high, manufacturing defects don't exist, etc).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Definitely a well made phone

Rather than being "the best Google can do," the Pixel is likely "the best Google can do in a very limited amount of time."

For the next Pixel phone, Google should have a lot more development time. Dave Burke, Android's VP of Engineering, told Bloomberg that he has already seen photo samples from the device Google will debut next year. That puts the Pixel 2 at a minimum of 12 months of development time, though with the camera already under development, it's probably closer to 18.
As Google slots into a more standard device development cycle, hopefully it will be able to produce hardware that is more competitive with the Apples and Samsungs of the world.

google has had 30 years to make this phone, not to mention the years making android. I compare it to a music artist who spends their life writing their first album. Its usually the best and new music usually is hastily made and trash.

I have the XL and 6P. I think the XL feels like a cheaper / midrange version of the 6P.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you here. From what I felt when I first used a Pixel, the device is solidly built and comfortable to hold. I own a Nexus 6P, and I pretty much baby it because it has a chance of snapping in half like a twig if I don't. The only thing holding the frame to the screen are six screws: four on the very bottom, and two on top, and there is absolutely no support along the sides of the phone. And the phone being as tall as it is, then it becomes very prone to this happening. The Pixel also seems to have pretty decent water resistance, especially for a phone rated IP53.

What I'm getting at is that the Pixel feels like plastic. Like one of the toy/demo/fake phones you see in the shops. The metal on my 6P actually feels like metal.
Also the volume rocker on my 6P is solid and not wobbly like my XL.

I totally understand what you're getting at. The nexus feels more genuinely metallic to you. However, I would much rather have a phone with wobbly buttons and a not-so metallic feel (maybe because of the anodization process possibly being different between both phones) than to have a phone that I practically have to baby to make sure I don't bend it in any way. So while the nexus has more of a cold metal feel in your opinion, the Pixel is the more durable of the two.

I never felt that I needed to baby the 6P. I don't wear super-tight jeans, and treated it just like a normal phone. I do like the Pixel, don't get me wrong. Just doesn't "feel" like a premium phone.

Anyone with the silver variant of the XL notice that the screen has a thicker black border on the left and top side? As if the screen and the digitizer or some panels were not aligned perfectly. I noticed it on mine went to the store to exchange it and when the rep opened the box the other one had the same defect. I ended up getting a black one. At least i don't see it anymore.
Btw when i say border i really mean a headline border between the white panel on the screen. I could see it on the left and top side. The bottom and right side were flush with the screen.
Anyone else noticed this.
I know I'm knit picking but for 1150$ i want my phone to be perfect!

Solid!

It felt very high quality when I got it with Android Nougat when it launched. And now with the Android Q Beta 1 it feels like the beast got woken again and it just feels way more reliable than on Pie (ridiculous, I know...)!

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.

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?

Nope. I don't see any light at all. Sorry.

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
