Anyone used the Nillkin case? - Nokia Lumia 920

There are several sellers on ebay pushing them. I'm just curious how they fit and how thin they are.

This one looks nice,quite tempted to try one out

I too am curious about these cases. I also stumbled upon these on Ebay and tend to like them quite a bit more than the Nillkin (at least cosmetically) and they look to be a little thinner as well...

I've been using the black Nillkin case for a little over a week and I love it. It's very thin -- it hangs over the top and bottom of the phone a very little bit. The case won't protect the screen at all, as the ridges on the side do not seem to raise past the screen's height.
The only downfall is the fit isn't 100% accurate -- the the buttons don't line up exactly with the holes in the case. This doesn't cause any issues because they aren't being pressed down. The worst is the camera button's alignment. I'll try to take some pics when I get off of work.
Overall, I would definitely recommend if you're looking for an non-intrusive, cheap but nice looking & feeling, scratch-protector case. Do NOT buy it if you're in the market for drop protection.
p.s. The black looks great with a white nokia. The white shows through on open bottom, top, and around the camera area in the back.
ALSO, works perfectly with the wireless charger.

i actually bought the gray version of that case off amazon, it came in yesterday and i'm quite happy with it. it provides a LOT more grip when holding and adds virtually no bulk. well placed cutouts for the camera and side buttons as well.
wireless charging works through the case too. overall very happy with my $8 purchase.

Cheap and great case!

Last week I ordered this case for $3,48. Received it today and I think it's great! The HD clicks in perfectly and the case itself looks a lot more expensive than it is actually. It has been sewn with brown thread which gives it a little more 'hip' effect. The case has a magnetic lock and it has been finished pretty well, made by synthetic leather.
All buttons and stylus are still available, except for the headphone jacket.
Only thing is that when you are calling with the case on, it looks like you're calling with a very very big clamshell phone

I have bought the Emily Fashion case - they are fantastic - less then £2 delivered from Hong Kong - arrived in 4 days with a free (if a tad crappy) screen protector. I cant fault the case it has a slightly rubberised feel and fits perfectly. I find all the leather case solutions a bit bulky this is much more minimalist whilst still looking good and protecting the sides and bottom of the phone from those annoying chips and scratches
yes i already received the emily case and it is great. Everyone loves the green color :d
Is emily case made from rubber material that attract dust? I have a rubber case. I have to remove and clean the case regularly. Even so, small scratches can be seen on the sides of the HD.
Hi All. Other than the link posted at the start, does anyone know where to get these or what to search for? I was hoping to find a white one. Searched all combo's of Emily Fashion Case and HTC Touch HD and got nowhere except back here!
Cheers
Dez
p.s. anyone looking to buy a white case, DO NOT get a noreve ivory leather case. The white leather one looks white. The white ivory one is a dull grey. Boo. Got a refund tho...

Sena Ultraslim (white/white) mini review, pics

I've had my ultraslim for about 5 days now and had a pm from a member here regarding it, so figured I'd post a few pics and a mini review. First off, good customer service. About a week and a half went by after I ordered and I had not received my case yet (I'm in PA, they're in CA i believe). I called up and the rep said it appeared it might've gotten lost by usps due to the tracking not being updated. No questions asked he sent me another via Fedex priority and I had it two days later.
Pics and then a bit more info:

First, I definitely like this case. With the size of the note, I was way too hesitant to drop good money on something that would make it any bigger. I've never used a pouch for a phone before but I'm liking this. White on white looks great too, to me. Have had some compliments on it already.
Fit: I received my case literally as I was going out the door to go to the gym. As I immediately noticed that my phone kept rebooting every time I put the phone in the case, and when it was on, the volume kept changing. I realized the inner seams were pressing up against the buttons. I was very upset at first, and then realized I just had to put it in a bit crooked so the seams run along the edge of the buttons rather than on them, not a big deal. Took about a few days for my case to start breaking in and now the note fits snugly but easily pulls in and out of the case. Also note that the case has kind of formed to the 'crooked' way that I put the note in. It's not like I need to make sure I'm avoiding the seams when I put the phone in, it just slides in exactly how I want it to now.
I rock my note upside down in the case, since I have BLN on. All I have to do is lift up the top flap a bit and I can see if I have notifications.
Protection: Obviously it'll keep away scratches. Drop protection... it really is thin. However, I'd be fairly confident that on a regular drop, the case would save it. It's basically just a thin layer of leather, but I think it's enough to absorb the shock. It's like the difference between the metal cased iphones and plastic phones... just a little bit makes a difference. That said, I'm not going to test it. But it really does add essentially no noticeable bulk or weight, and gives you a better grip when removing it from your pocket.
Feel free to ask any questions.
Very classy looking, thanks for the share.
nice pocket. where did you buy it?
bought it direct from them through their website.
What was the price? Do you think it would fit with an elago slim fit case? White looks so sexy on this phone..

$35. And I don't quite understand your question... See you asking if your phone with case attached will fit in the pouch? No.. It's designed to perfectly fit the phone. Then again I don't know how thick your case is but I highly doubt it and aren't sure why you'd use both

Tech21 Case

Received my Tech21 case yesterday. I have to say, it's awesome. Of course I threw it on the ground as soon as I installed the case I'm impressed. It fits nicely and is a lot smaller than I thought it'd be. With the Tempered Glass screen protector, this phone should be able to withstand any normal fall. Shipping from the UK didn't take as long as I thought it would either. Very pleased. The only issue I see is the style of plastic is "hard" not the softer type. I'm used to Incipio Feather cases and they have a softer more "grippy" feel. (I know; use your Big Boy words.) Anyway, I recommend this over an Otterbox, unless you need to protection from water. This will not protect from water damage.

Those cut outs are huge... It looks nice with the exception of the abnormally large spaces on the back and ports. It seems like companies think it's too hard to make it a perfect cut out similar to Spigen on the back.

Got the same case on a T-Mobile store. Best case so far for my G3.
i love this case and the grip it gives. the cutouts are large but i am sure that is to ensure all/any cable would fit.

You have a good point because the stock cable is rather large. I wonder if the large cut out on the back was to prevent any interference between the case and laser.

Yeah my spigen case for my s4 wouldnt let me use my aux cable i had for my car. And i had to find a fitting cable which was annoying.
As for on the back around the camera the larger/wider cutouts probably work better as well when it comes to feel since the case is fairly thick a staunch drop right around the button could possibly make it more annoying to fully hit the button from multiple angles while holding the phone..
I assume all of these things are thought about im just thinking as to whywhy.. Its a great case though im gonna keep it until the US slim guard case becomes available.

Thanks for posting this up. Pics look good. I was gonna stop at a best buy and pick one up before my trip to Colorado but they were out ?. I'll definitely be getting one when I'm back home though.
Sent from my LG G3
Other than BestBuy, T-Mobile and Sprint corp stores are selling it too.
The T-Mobile by my house was having 30% all accessories last weekend when I bought the G3. Saw this case in blue and knew I had to have it since I had one with good results on my old Galaxy S2 back in the day. Its been a little over a week and the blue areas that actually rest on surfaces tend to turn a little black though. It's not awful (to me anyway). Just a heads up.
Dropped my phone the other day flat on it's back from my pocket and cringed knowing the orange goodness was on the top and sides but it was still fine lol.

Any covers that avoid the rounded back?

Hi guys,
one thing that annoys me is the rounded back of the nexus. When you lay it on the table it turns left and right when scrolling onehandedly....this is really nerveracking.
At the moment I use one of them TPU cases but this has the same rounding and thus the same turning.
Are there any (non-flip) covers that tackle this?
Cheers
check out the ringke fusion case. I love it and solved that issue for me
look at diztronic case, is not totally flat but helps to make N6 more stable
http://www.amazon.it/Diztronic-Matt...=1449071789&sr=8-1&keywords=diztronic+nexus+6
Cheers guys...but both cases are rounded too, how does it solve it?
The Poetic Revolution has a flat back. It has some pegs on the inside back wall that are holding the phone in place. Great case, except for the flat buttons but you can get used to those.
I had this one...
http://www.amazon.com/Evocel®-Prote...merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1450211642&sr=1-31
Makes the phone flat, but pretty bulky, and no longer feels like a luxury item in this case.
Hi guys, thanks again for all those tips....
Got myself this one now :
Nillkin Slim Armor Bumper Rahmen-Schutzhülle, stoßfest, für Google Nexus, 6 https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00T2R9V7A/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_hnACwb693RZ0W
It is perfect, no rocking and turning, the phone lies firmly on those two bars running from the backsides' top to bottom.
Only downside is that you now can see the white back case which I bought accidently but kept.

The Ringke FUSION has a ring around the nexus logo that effectively stabilizes the phone. It is not perfectly stable, but ends up being fine for light usage of the phone when it's laying on a table. See this picture (found via google image search) for a better view of how it works.

Is that frame around the Nexus-Word indented? If so then yes, that should indeed work as well.
I'm sure someone could 3D print a case with enough incentive. I would pay decent money for a case that flattens the phone so I wouldn't have to give up my airdock

Indeed. If it had a matte soft touch feel (like the Nexus5), and if it filled in the curves without adding much height to the hump on the back, that'd be great. It'd be thin in the middle, thicker on the sides of the back where the curve goes up.
The problem with the Nillkin Slim Armor Bumper is that it does add some height above the back area. If it had half the height off the back, it'd still be a fine case. Sometimes I'm tempted to find a belt sander and smooth it down a bit on my own.
Evocel and Ranz on amazon are both flat backs
That Ranz case is the worst piece of crap I ever bought. I threw it away immediately after I got it.

TSCASE Brown Leather Case Review!

So I stumbled upon this case on Amazon when searching for either a nice leather or faux leather case for my S7, and I was sick of the only ones available being those portfolio cases that cover the front. All I wanted was a case that was either a tpu style, or one that reminds me of the Incipio Feather or Spigen Slim Fit where the phone just pops in but the tops/bottoms are exposed....well I found this Tscase brand case and this thing is honestly awesome.
http://www.amazon.com/TSCASE-Genuin...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
The leather feel on the back is really soft and smooth, and I chose the regular brown one instead of the netted, although the netted looks cool too.

the nice thing about this case is that it comes up over the corners, so the corners aren't so exposed. the top and bottom are exposed, yeah, but as you can see in the pics the corners are fine.
there's also a small lip around the screen so placing it screen down isn't an issue. plus, it pretty much hugs the sides, so i'm sure putting a screen protector that goes edge to edge wouldn't be an issue with this case.
overall, i'm so glad i found a cool leather case for this thing, and for a fraction of the cost of what the official samsung one is going to cost! i recommend this case if you like a thin, leather, good looking case!

Look nice... what screen protector are you using
Sent from my SM-G930T using XDA-Developers mobile app
the 10 dollar verizon branded ones. they're meh. don't mind the top corner by the ear piece lol...when i put it into gear VR one day it ripped it up and although i'm OCD and it bothers me, i'm way too lazy to put another one on.
plus within a week of having it on, i got a huge gash, so these screen protectors scratch easily. and obviously the sides have that effect because the glass curves.
overall, i only got them bc i needed them day one.
Can't find this in Amazon Canada? Other than Amazon US/UK, anyone know where I can pick one up?
hmm not sure. maybe they just aren't setup to ship in canada? it's a really nice case, though.
I bought the same case and I absolutely love it. I'm interested to see how well it holds up and how it weathers.

it's a great case. i just got the spigen crystal screen protector that wraps around the edges of the phone, and it fits perfectly with this case.
