Got my phone AND a case yesterday! - Essential Phone Accessories

Hi everyone!
I'm new here and had just been browsing the forums over the past few weeks to help me decide if I was going to get this phone or not. The TELUS store in my area received stock so I went in to have a look. As soon as I held in my hand I knew I was taking one home
As I was finishing the purchase the rep did the usual upsell stuff and then asked if I wanted a case... to which I replied ummm there are no cases for this phone.
She then reached behind her and pulled out a case!
If there were other brands of cases to choose from I would not have bought it, especially for the $30, but it was the only one so far.
It will do until there is something else.
I just committed another 2 years of my life to TELUS and I drop my phones at times so a skin isn't an option.
I cant post a link because I'm new but you can search viva madrid America and see.
I can also post pics if anyone wants

Case picture?

This is the case he was talking about. https://vivamadridamerica.com/product-category/device/essential/ Nice to see an actual case... not a fan of clear cases myself as they tend to get just as nasty as glass/ceramic backs but its a start.

$22 is a bit steep, but with nothing else on the horizon, I might bite in a week or so.

Someone just needs to make a bumper to show off the ceramic back. From the two drop tests that I've seen, the ceramic back is sturdy enough to withstand drops from any angle (with the exception of maybe a sharp edge).
A fitting tempered glass and bumper would have been my ideal setup.

Official HTC One X Case with Stand

Hey guys,
there might be something about this in one of the other One X threads
(impending newb confusion detected)
but I thought I would let my fellow S4 brothahs and sistahs know about the absolute sweetest case out there.
It's the official HTC One X folio case, available on the official HTC accessory site for around $35
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/ie/p_htc_item.aspx?i=229878
It's a clear back, so you can still sit and stare at your phone's sexy rear if you so desire, with a flap-over front to protect your screen whilst sliding through the treacherous recesses of your pants. The flap also doubles as a stand, working like your standard iPad case (folding up to support itself at workable angles.) The whole shebang is easily removable (but why would you want to?)
Attached are some pics of the case in question. I know I'll be buying one within the first week of getting my new One-XL this weekend.

Can we move this to the case forum?
You mean the case thread? I believe the accessory thread is the proper forum for this.
I think this is worthy of having it's own thread. Considering many are looking for cases I don't find it prudent to make them read through 50 pages to find the official HTC case.
Then every cool case will deserve its own thread on here, and yes, I meant thread. Sorry about that.
And the cases thread is only 7 pages at the moment, so I have no idea what you're talking about. Unless you were looking at the international case thread...?
I would actually prefer that a unique case be designated it's own thread. It would follow suit with the other phone forums on XDA. Yeah I might have gotten it mixed up with the international thread, as I've been browsing both very heavily lately.
Before this debate continues I'm just going to request a moderator take any appropriate action on this thread.
I didn't think of the unique case idea. Maybe one for Official cases, one for otter box, one for casemate, etc?
I could care less for debate, haha. Your idea could turn into something really good.

I saw this online and it's definitely my first choice. Are you risking the slight height difference in the XL or have you already seen this case fit on the AT&T model? I'd love to see a pic when you get it.
Considering this is a hard case, it probably won't fit our LTE models. All of the accessories on that site are designed for the international.
The desktop cradle looks nice, but again, contact points won't line up
I'm honestly not concerned about the dock point mismatch. It doesn't appear that these cases would work on the dock. Also, I'm probably not purchasing a dock for a little while. I love the look of this case and the added functions of protecting the screen and the stand seal the deal.
If I didn't go with this I would go with one of the "covert" series cases on Amazon.

So apparently not only just the dock point mismatch, but the HTC One XL is also .5 mm longer?

Hmm, I didn't realize the XL was larger. When people said size difference I figured they meant the pins were off. I hope they release the official version for the XL as well.
This is such a cool case! I wonder if it would fit. 0.4mm is a very small difference in size.
Another source
I just put in an order on another site. I'll let you guys know how it is when I receive it.
HTC One X Flip Case - V701
Update: Just received an email from them saying this item is on back order and that it will be shipped as soon as they have it in stock.
That really is a neat case idea. I guess it was inspired by the ipad cases that are very similar. i MAY HAVE TO TRY ONE..

Is this case going to be available in the USA? It looks really cool.

"Caseology" the new Mercury?

So I was looking to pre-order a Mercury TPU case because they've been very nice on the Nexus and S3.
Amazon had them on the same page as the S3 version, but with odd looking photos showing a TV antenna corner cutout.
Check back at that page a few days later and it's got new photos and new branding -- as Caseology instead of Mercury. Mind you, it's still on the same Amazon page as the Mercurys, sold by Mercury USA, etc.

There are also some nice matte (TPU+leather hybrid!?) versions:
Anyone know what the deal is with this new brand?

I don't know, but the price is worth a try. Just ordered one of each, white and white matte. for $1.99 each, you can't really go wrong...in case they are not perfect. lol
interesting... that navy blue case looks nice. Searching caseology on eBay yields no results (well for me anyway).

I ordered one hoping it would get here fast but just got notified today that they recalled their first shipment. They said they'll have new ones sent out new week using USPS priority so I decided to keep the order open. It was only 5 bucks.
Curious if anyone got one of these Caseology cases?

Yes I did. The product is...not what I wanted. I'll post pictures later, but the white matte case is black on the edges, and not matte at all...the white glossy case is moderately okay. The case is made from a company called nekeda I believe, but the cases were sent from mercury USA, emails were from mercury USA as well. But it isn't a great case at all. The matte case has the right corner cut off for no apparent reason. They are built well at least and everything is cut nicely. I just wouldn't use them. They aren't even attractive to look at...Lol

Yeah, it looks like Mercury (or whoever) is using Goospery as the "real" US case label. The cutout is for the Korean version's TV antenna I believe...
it seem too cheap to be a mercury brand, even tpu mercury will set you at least USD 10, in hong kong and china, 75% of them sold are fakes, and if the seller buys in bulk it's even cheaper.
i ordered a mercury case for my s3 about 2 months ago, very good quality my favorite case so far...for 10 bucks you cant beat it. it said made in NEW YORK on the back, not korea. im willing to bet the korean ones are the fakes. i ordered it from amazon and it said order fullfilled and shipped by mercury usa. now i go to my amazon history and click on the link of my order and it takes me to the caseology version...wtf. maybe caseology bought them out??

Review of the S-View Wireless charging cover and wireless charging pad

First off, I had the regular s-view non wireless cover, and this is definitely thicker in the back. This makes me believe that the regular wireless charging back will be thicker than the stock one as well.
The front flap on the wireless cover stays shut, whereas the older non-wireless cover had a problem with the flap. Other than that, the same material and build quality.
As for the charging pad, it's very nice.. small and compact. Uses regular micro-USB. So far speeds are quick. About 1 percent per 1 minute. Not bad at all.
I bought them both at my local Verizon store. They had a promotion, and got $30 bucks off the total. So both items were $89.

Hello ,
thanks for this interesting review !
Can you post a photo to see the difference of thickness betwen the wireless and the non wireless s view cover ?
How long does it take to do a complete charge ?
What material is used on the top part of the charger, is it hard plastic or soft leather type material.
Thanks

Why is the pad smaller than the phone itself? Doesn't the phone tip right off?

So you got this at your local Verizon store? Did they have the regular charging backs as well? I'm surprised that you got the Mini Charger dock as they are STILL not available online yet.
BOOM! Ordered!
Just ordered... Online $69.00 for both through Verizon and Overnight Shipping Free! Thanks to my employer discount! Can't wait to get tomorrow although I hate that Verizon ships Overnight and requires signature??? Yes Verizon no one in the world works and we can be home to sign for a package at any point of the day....

Go onto website and shop all accessories than just select Samsung as the Accessories Manufacturer... do not select by device as the charger seems to be tied to a mini galaxy S -tab or something. The picture for the S-view wireless will be a white case bu you can toggle to black before adding to cart.

No regular charging backs yet. Ill be the first to buy one when released though!
You guys may just want to go into your local verizon stores. They had a promotion where the wireless s view case is only $55 and the charging pad was $35.
add the charger first then the s-view back... discount will update when both items are placed into cart... individually they will not. but I was able to repeat process using the same steps above

Slickwraps

Anyone tried the Slickwraps naked wrap? I bought it cause it seems to have a good edge to edge protection all around but I don't have it yet. Also haven't heard anyone talk about them yet on here or post pictures yet. If anyone has please post them here. Thanks

Not sure about the naked wraps, buuuut I did order the Deadpool Helmetica one in matte. Still waiting for it though
I ordered on 8/18 and it still says "PROCESSING". I choose First Class; Lord knows how long it'll take.
I got a slick skin for my S7E and the back was great. The rest of the skin not so great if you use a case. If you use your phone without a case I'm sure it's great though but mine peeled like no other.
I am also in the waiting boat. Ordered on 8/16

This past Saturday I ordered the black leather from the natural series and also the naked wrap.
I never received a confirmation email and it's not showing up in my orders on my account. I've been charged for the items. I've tried contacting them but no response.
Getting a little worried.

This past Saturday I ordered the black leather from the natural series and also the naked wrap.
I never received a confirmation email and it's not showing up in my orders on my account. I've been charged for the items. I've tried contacting them but no response.
Getting a little worried.

I got my confirmation on 8/25 after ordering it on 8/16.
Picked up the natural hemp and black carbon fiber. Made a video to show the skin on the Note 7. Quality as usual is excellent.

I ordered the dark brown leather back on the 22nd and it's still processing, but got the 40% off deal so I figure they got swamped.

It takes awhile. I think it's because if the Back to School sale they're having. I ordered mine last Saturday, got the confirmation that it shipped on Wednesday and another one today saying it should arrive Monday. The joys of being in Canada haha

Even I ordered and got shipping confirmation after a week... Natural series gets delayed sometimes... @slickwraps might help here or Twitter

UPDATE: Yea I dunno. The front, sides and bottoms are definitely not case friendly. It's constantly peeling up when I try to toss on my Ultra Hybrid.
Ordered the Stormtrooper from the Galactic Series. Shipping time was alright but the skin was missing a cutout for the flash/ir sensor. Package was also missing HD protector and"authenticity" card. Not that I care about that stuff but shows bad quality control when the package says its included but its not there. Also it had no install instructions and the web link they refer you to is for the complete "wet" install products.
So not impressed. Regret not going with dbrand, but was enticed by the fancy designs.
Waiting (less then 24hrs) to hear back from them on a refund or replacement.

Same here ordered the Naked series and didn't get my HD screen protector or authenticity card either, no instructions..Plus it took 8 days to ship.. There means of contact are poor..I ended up calling BOA and had them reverse the charge.

Dbrand & Slickwrap Skins Availability

I checked Dbrand website and it says that skins are available for preorder but I did not see when they would be released. I also checked out Slickwraps and was able to order one about 4 days ago but it is still processing. I have used both skins and like both of them but didn't know when Dbrand and Slickwrap skins were shipping out. Didn't know if anyone here knew when they might be released.
Edit: Also if anyone has already purchased some I would be very interested in seeing how it looks on your Pixel. I ordered the Hemp skin from Slickwraps but also thinking about ordering the orange carbon from Dbrand.

I chose this one because I was thinking that it would have better grip than some of the others.

Which one did you order from Dbrand?
I ordered a naked one with the coloured Gs from Slickwraps last Thursday but I don't think I've had a dispatch email yet.
I ordered a Naked skin from SlickWraps on the 11th and I still haven't received a shipping notification... two business days my ass...
Edit: According to the product page's Q&A, SlickWraps isn't shipping these until the end of this week, even though they've shown as in-stock since being listed originally:
This is the only place I've seen them address the delays; they're ghosting people everywhere else. Presumably, they answered because they didn't want this question lingering and preventing future sales.
Well that's weird. Sounds like I need to delay my purchase of the Pixel XL until it gets shipped. I have to get the tempered glass screen protector too...
I think I'm gonna not get a dbrand skin for quite a while, I wanna enjoy the phone first
Dbrand must be busy making the skins, they're usually pretty good about answering tweets, not about the Pixel skins though. radio silence

Sub'ing to this thread. I have a DBrand order and still nothing. Not cool @slickwraps to show "in stock" and not shipping yet. I was going to order one from them also, but glad I didn't yet since won't ship for almost another 2 weeks.

They responded to a tweet the other day saying the were finalising the fit.
I have been holding off on pre-ordering (dbrand) and waiting for them to be available and see some YouTube reviews on it (installed).
They look good especially the late to release Marble skin version.
i ordered from @slickwraps on October-10 and still processing !!!

I am still processing from @slickwraps. Ordered on 10/18. I tried contacting them by Twitter a few days ago but haven't received a response. I am hoping that they post an update on when they will ship out. Kinda sucks though because I really hate cases but I am currently using a Tech21 case from Verizon just because I am afraid that I am going to break the back glass. I will order from dbrand if they ship out before.
I asked dbrand directly when they would be shipping their skins. Their answer was "shortly, stay tuned to social media"...
Ordered a case from @slickwraps on 10/16 got a response that my case was stuck in pre-processing and will be shipped out soon. Its now Tuesday and haven't heard anything back yet.
I just received an email from @slickwraps saying that my order was complete. They also provided me with a tracking number from Fedex. I will update when I actually receive it and also post pictures of it installed. I also ordered from dbrands today because I was losing hope in slickwraps. I kinda went crazy and order 3 of them from dbrand. I really like the orange one. Kinda different.

Thanks for the update. I'll have to place an order tomorrow, DBrand hadn't even bothered to message me back plus SW is in the states I think so definitely quicker shipping.
Post installed pics when you get them.
I ordered from @slickwraps on 10/12/16 and my order still says processing
