Essential Phone Bumper Case - Essential Phone Accessories

Hey guys
I found a bumper case on thingiverse and it looks promising
Essential PH1 Bumper Case (TPU/Flex Only) found on #Thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2630253
I'm going to print one out for myself as I have a roll of Black TPU in my storage box
If it turns out great would anyone be interested in one? You just have to pay for shipping and it will only be in black

I'm definitely interested- I signed up for an account to say this ^_^
Please post some pictures when you've got a finished case! Let us know if it works with the 360 camera as well if you have one :good:

I don't have a 360 camera unfortunately.. too expensive still and I wouldn't use it enough to justify the cost

I'd be interested in one.

I would be interested. Thanks for the offer.

I'm definitely down for one. Thank you very much!
EDIT: I also don't mind paying for your effort on top of shipping, I just really want a bumper case.
.

(FYI - the cameras are selling on eBay for about $70 which makes it's value pretty sweet. If you travel at all the 360 camera is a really interesting way to say capture a room of a museum or an environment.)
*That said I haven't picked one up yet either ^_^ but it's on the list!
I mentioned this case to a friend of mine with a 3D printer, didn't know if he would have any TPU handy... turns out he does.

interested but would like to see how it looks first. Too bad the designer didn't put up pictures of the different versions he has on the phone (9, 10 small, 10 large).
thanks for sharing

If you follow the Reddit Essential forum, the creator posted about this, even did a photo contest giving one away and shared pics.
Here's the sub - reddit.com/r/essential
Thread about the bumper - https://www.reddit.com/r/essential/comments/7b9r1d/essential_ph1_bumper_case_design_links_discussion/
Here's the photo contest with some pics of the case - https://www.reddit.com/r/essential/comments/7b65lf/tpu_bumper_giveaway_1_color_photo/
The designer said he used a certain type of TPU and that the case is slightly smaller than the phone so that it has tension to hang on. So if you get one and it doesn't fit, this could be why. If it's too rigid, it might not fit around the phone.

Update: My buddies attempt at printing it didn't work out first try. Got too cool I guess and messed up... he'll give it another go in a few days.

hands down interested in one. i would prefer it in black but yes absolutely. i love the beauty of this phone but the case i have now is just too plain and looks like every other phone, what i would advise is a method like spiegen where its cornered at the corners so there is an air pocket of cushion. also... probably alittle more material specifically around the glass edge but overall yeah i love the idea

Hey guys
Little update.. sorry been super busy and I'm trying to calibrate my printer for tpu
Anyways I'm starting to print now ... One so far and will test fit and take pics when done
Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk

Great, looking forward to your photos. Good luck!

Ok little update
Finished printing the large one.. fit was too loose so I printed the smaller one. Nice and tight. Had to stretch it to fit it. Lots of stringing so I'm dialing those settings in but so far looks nice
Whoever is interested please PM me your postal code and I'll quote you the shipping cost.... might be alot because I live in Canada

Custom Battery Cover!!

Hello XDA friends! I have made a custom back cover for the Samsung Galaxy S 4g and the original Samsung Vibrant. It is a custom job. Every cover is unique since it is done with paint and a few other tricks. Also I can clear coat them if you want. I will sell them each for $20 including shipping to anywhere in the US (add $5 to Canada)
If there is enough interest I can do this in White (as shown below), Blue, Red or Green Post a reply letting me know your interest and which color you would prefer.
Take a look at the pictures below. They look awesome! They are a direct replacement for your current back cover. They do not add any thickness nor change the shape of the phone....and yes, they fit perfectly unlike some aftermarket covers.
Post a reply if you are interested so I can gauge just how many people may want this before I make an order for the blank covers.
PM me and I will send you a Paypal link for the cover. I will see how much interest I get for the first while so be patient and I will keep you updated on shipping dates.
Also take a look at the covers I previously made for the Vibrant. I feel I do good work. I sold a lot of those covers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959149 If enough people bug me about the carbon fiber covers I can continue making them but will have to do $25 with free shipping. It just takes a lot of work and I was overwhelmed. Also I may start putting clear coat on them if preferred.

Mostly smooth. You can feel some of the lines and shapes made when I texture these. I may clear coat them though if that is preferred.

Can you please put pictures of the Samsung Galaxy S 4G with the cover?
Those pictures are really zoomed in, so I would like to know how would they look from my eyes
Just imagine the phone is sitting in the desktop
I don't want pictures SO close because even though they show the textures, they are too close so I don't know if they look cool or not
Broken Photos?
Would it be possible to make a custom back cover for a extended battery cover? Or you don't do those?

this is my first time seeing that one. i went to the tmobile store to buy my hdmi cable(of course they didnt have) and i saw the kickstand case. its similar to the one for the g2. i wasnt impressed. so ill hold out. i have some accessories coming in the mail today. zagg, tpu, and hard case for now.
I have it. It's really a nice case - fits the phone perfectly and allows just a hint of the stainless trim to show adding a bit of style. The edging around the corners is a bit raised for protection. It leaves the entire front of the phone exposed though so if you put it down on it's face or drop it it'll get damaged. The kickstand isn't rotatable, the wide end props the phone up vertically and the edge horizontally. In the vertical position the phone's really low in relation to the surface its on. The kickstand itself feels a bit flimsy so I don't know how long it'll last. I use it as my "indoor" case. If I'm taking the phone out I use the Body Glove case which provides much better all-around protection.

I was thinking about buying this stand, what do you guys think? It's from:
http://www.gogostand.com/
It fits in your wallet, and has 3 different configurations to allow for portrait and landscape orientations.
i posted somewhere on here that daydeal has the same case,with a cover that protects the front of the phone.....for less money. sorry i couldn't catch you all before you bought yours. mines a nice,snug fit.
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=52415&cat=66
only difference is that it doesn't have the metal strip on the back.
edit...ok, expansys dropped their price a couple bucks since last time i checked. i still like daydeals better though.
Can someone that has the case post pictures please? I would like to see it on the phone before committing 23 dollars Thanks!

Cruzerlite Persona's for the One S

So I saw these became available over the weekend and had to order them. I got 3 of them. I got the Black & White Abstract (Inverted), Camo Light Green, and Andy Scratched. As I have said in the past, I had this series on my Gnex and that is why I rushed to get these. Let me say again, not disappointed. Highly detailed, great TPU feel (not plasticy like some would think by the looks) and kickass designs. It doesnt have the volume cut out but as I have said before, I actually am happy it isnt. I dont click them on accident with any of my Cruzer Lite cases on. All other cut outs are perfect. Ive become a pro on putting on these cases. FYI, there is a wrong way to put them on. Start from the top and then the bottom right side and then finish up with the bottom left side. This way, all the cutouts match up 100%. I have a crappy cam in bad lighting so the pics are crap. Im sorry. Check out cruzer lites site or amazon for high res ones.
I thought the Andy Scratched was going to be my fav but once I got the camo one up close and noticed there are Andy's hidden in there, its now my fav.

I'm talking about the andy scratched case. Do the green scale looking part feel different to the rest of the case or is it just glossy?

It feels like the rest of the case. The persona line is just fancy designs. They dont add any different feel.
What's the difference between the 'Persona,' 'A2,' and plain TPU cruzerlite cases?
I like the design of the 'Argyle' type, but if it's not as good quality materials I may opt for another.

Persona is their fancy line with all the different designs, the A2 is what got them famous with the Andy in the case design, which also adds to a better grip I think and the plain is just a plain tpu one with no grip. I have the persona and A2 and I have the A2 on my phone 90% of the time.
Thanks man

Slickwraps Note 4

Just got an email from Slickwraps announcing their skin lineup for the Note 4. I like to keep my phones in a case, but I've had a good experience with them in the past with my M8. Anyone thinking about picking one up? If you don't mind placing one on the front, it looks like a good option to cover the curved sides of the glass.

They are awesome. This was my m8 with one of my favorite designs. They don't really touch the screen and typically if they are full screen you have the ability to get a screen protector that only covers screen.
Slickwraps is the ish. I just ordered the white leather finish. We'll see how that goes. Really curious to see how it feels in the hand.

Skins

Thinking about moving from a case to a skin. Was curious if anyone else has skinned their M9, and which brand you used. Don't want to fly blind if someone has had a good or bad experience with theirs.
I have used 2 d brand skins and they look nice it's just hard to get them perfect on the curved corners on the phone.

Slickwraps are the way to go. Had them on my last 3 phones.
I've used dbrand and slick wraps on my last few phones. Can't go wrong with either. Dbrand carbon fiber is a little slippery though.

I don't know a bout the quality but you can find crazy skins for the m9 on ebay , more choice than on dbrand or slickwrap and cheaper prices
Slickwraps is really good. I've been buying wraps from them for many of my devices and they are excellent. I stopped buying from them though, because when I got a wrap for the M9, it lasted only about a week because it started too detach from the sides. I contacted the company and they said they couldn't do anything to help me. I was surprised because they are always very attentive with their customers. Regardless of this situation, I can say that their wraps are just great and would recommend them to anyone. I'll probably get a glow in the dark one once I'm over this little inconvenience.

Vinyl skins can be manufactured very cheaply, but in my experience, you get what you pay for with this kind of stuff when it comes to fit, durability, and appearance.
And it's not like name-brand skins are that pricey. I just got the mahogany front skins from dbrand, and the fit and look are perfect. $5 with shipping.
