Tech21 Case - G3 Accessories

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.

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.

HTC Amaze Matte BLACK Hard Snap On

Hey All. Got my Amaze yesterday and its already up and running on the Energy ROM with faux kernal; thanks to those respective devs. With the flashing out of the way for now, time to look into some cases. As everyone is aware, amaze is not the lightest or thinnest phone, so a case with minimal weight would be desireable. I ran into a matte snap on case from ebay, wanted to know if anyone here has any feedback on these. I am not going after the price (I am open to spend whatever for the ideal case), but more so on the "thin" part. Sadly, I can't post the url due to my noob status, but its easily searchable under "Matte BLACK Hard Snap On Thin Back Case Cover For HTC T-Mobile Amaze 4G".
Looking forward to being part of the Amaze community!
I have a two piece black rubberized case on my one amaze, and a one piece hard case on the other one. Both are light, and fit pretty good. the two piece fits tighter, and has cutouts for all the mic holes on the back cover etc. and they all line up. its just a cheap ebay case. And both are thin. Any cheapie case you get on ebay will be light, and the best part is after a couple months just pay $3-5 and get a new one.
The one piece doesen't cover the top and bottom of the phone, just the sides, so it won't protect as well as the two piece, and if I ever have to pop the two piece apart to get at the back cover, it comes apart easy.
I'd get a cheap two piece, try it out. if you need more protection, then upgrade, but i'd start at ebay.
Be careful with some of the cheap ebay snap-on cases. I got one for a previous phone that was front and back pieces that snapped together. It was thin and looked OK but it would pop open when dropped and the phone would come out and land unprotected. It was ok for scratch protection and keeping the screen off the table but provided very little to zero drop protection.
Thanks for the info. Yeah I have to consider the drop protection. When I was searching youtube for cases, the videos were showing cases which was huge. Yes it protects the phone, but it’s very uncomfortable to carry around. Might have to try some on from the local mall kiosk if anything.
I just went with a cheap ebay case from eforcecity and I'm satisfied. I think I paid $6 shipped and it came with a screen protector.
I got one from ebay that is really good, it comes with a holster. Trust me, thiz isnt like the ones that are cheap made and snaps when minimal force aplied to it. This is high quality. Not bulky either.

I too have this case, it works great. I have not noticed any difference in my network connection signal strength which was a concern and has provided good protection for the phone in its couple of drops. I work in a hydraulics shop with hardened concrete floors and it has held up well. As a side note the case also holds up well when exposed to mineral and petroleum based hydraulic fluids.

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

Anyone used the Nillkin case?

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

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
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.

Samsung Book Cover case for 7'' Tab

So I've been looking for this case but it's always been too expensive everywhere. I found this one but I'm not familiar with this site. Has anyone ever used them before? Looks like a really good deal.

That looks pretty good. If it didn't already have the expensive cover I would try that one.
I like the way it can stand up at 2 different angles, I wish it could stand vertically though.
not endorsing brands mart, however they had the oem case for $38
not endorsing brands mart, however they had the oem case for $38. I bought one their, other electronics I bought their went yours tits up before 6 months, so caution on everything else.
I just bought this case a few hours ago from my local store here in Dubai. It fits well on my tab. But the problem is that the hinge next to the camera hole is quite narrow. Every time I close it, it touches the power button unexpectedly causing a restart. Maybe it will differ on other stocks of this item.
I'm not using the camera that much so instead of opening the cover to the right, I rotated the tab covering the lens and made it open to the left.
Be careful after a month or so you might end up with fraudulent charges on the card you use, I did.
Yea, I wasn't sure about using that site so I ordered one of the Poetic cases from Amazon. I had one on my old ASUS Transformer and liked it. Good price too.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007YUISHQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
I wouldn't bother with that one. I bought this from eBay and I can't believe how practical, sturdy and well-made it is. And matches my Tab2's color

I ordered this case last week, so far I like it a lot. It's slimmer than Samsung version and I like the way the felt part that covers the screen doesn't end up on the outside of the case when you open it and set it down. I was worried about getting dirt on the felt and scratching my screen.
I also like that the cover latches without needing the elastic strap, although it does have one. It also stands at 2 different angles.
It does smell very plasticy, hopefully that will go away soon.

Yea, that smell is really strong at first. I can still smell it but it's not overwhelming like it was at first. Definitely a great case for the price.

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.
