Hello,
I use a hardcase to use my phone on my motorbike. I used to have a Galaxy S4 with a "Ultimate Addons hardcase" .
This works great but now i m looking for a simmilar case for my Huawei Ascend Mate 7 but i can t find it.
Does anybody know where to get it?
Thanks!
Yah, good luck. I searched everywhere for one as well and couldn't find any. I want to use the phone for field collection of data in a database with photos, etc. This often exposes the device to rain, sweat and dirt. The hardware is perfect for the task, just the right size and battery that will easily get through a solid days work. But allas, no rugged cases are available.....
Not hardcase, but I've just ordered a 'so easy Rider v6' from eBay) can't post the link due to low post count but it will come up if you type it in eBay.Com)
Seem to get good reviews and the v6 version is sized for phablets.
Thank you, i just ordered the So easy rider V6 on aliexpress for myself!

Whaaaattt??!?!?!
When did that happen? I emailed them and they replied saying they had no intentions of making one for the Nexus 6
http://www.archos.com/us/products/objects/cself/avr/compatibility.html?#menu saw an article that specifically mentioned it would fit the nexus 6. Only 30 bucks
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
Knox Labs has this new one that works with the Nexus 6 and they specifically mention that they increased the lens diameter. I didn't see any information about that from I Am Cardboard so I left a message asking about it. Their parts kit has 25mm, but they might have changed it for this build.
http://www.knoxlabs.com/products/cardboard-2-0-vr-kit-nexus-6
The design also is tweaked in other ways. It mentions microsuction as well, probably instead of rubber band which isn't in pictures.
(The Google design kit doesn't mention lens size.)

Google Cardboard Virtual Reality Kit
I have purchased google cardboard from getcardboard(dot)in and my Nexus 6 phone fully fit to it. They are also selling Virtual Reality box on amazon for international orders.
Okay, the Knox ones didn't ship, but now they are releasing an updated version called Knox Next that works with more than just the N6 and is officially Google Cardboard certified.
Has anyone actually tried any of these?
My wife bought me a Dodo case Google Cardboard VR headset. It was a complete PITA to put together (not helped by the fact that one of the parts was missing) and, although it just about works, it gives me a headache after about three minutes. It also doesn't have a headband so holding onto it for more than a few minutes gets old very quickly.
Some of the eBay ones are very cheap (< £10) so I might just try one of these and see how well it works.

Ordered Knox Next - Waiting

I just bit the bullet and went ahead and ordered the Knox Next. Has anybody actually received one and tried it yet? I am curious how Knox Labs is at product quality and delivery. I know, it's cardboard, can't expect too much, but man, $27 for it, better be worth it. When I placed my order, there is no information on whether there was stock or any other availability status.
For the Nexus 6, there are only a few other options and based on some reviews from Amazon, they are not very good, for example cheap lens that fall out.
Hey guys!
I'm an owner of the Nexus 6 since 1 month and now I'm interested in virtual reality cause with my old Nexus 4 i think there was no possibility because of the low screen resolution
And now I'M looking for VR Goggles. I can't really find one for such a big screen. Does somebody have an idea where to get one? Mybe a plastic one.
a quick search led me to xingear by imcardboard
pricey but does it work/hold up well?
I saw an article on CNET about the Homido headset. Rick Broida said it was comfortable.

I recently purchase VR Box and so far it's not too bad. It fits the Nexus 6 (barely) but it's not able to run Google cardboard apps. You can purchase an NFC chip, which I did, to run them. Hopefully it'll work.

I purchased the VR Box 2.0 on Amazon and it works well with N6. I purchased it from this particular seller because of the better Wii style Bluetooth remote that it comes with. The smaller key fob style remote didn't work as well.

I bought a pair of cardboard goggles by Minkanak (never heard of them). They're well constructed, but the way they have the setup specifically for a N6, the power button turns it off. It takes a bit of tweaking, but I got it to work. For under 20 bucks you cant go wrong. It's very cool. I tried porn with it and it is bizarre LOL! The effect of flying and roller coasters are very cool too. Be careful with what you buy because that button issue is a pain in the ass.
Thought it's a good time to get this started. Booked my mate 20 pro today. Disappointed to see that they're offering just one colour (twilight) with the headphones offer. They're slated to launch the green as well tomorrow but no guarantees on the headphones then. Why Huawei? This is your big launch of Mate in India. Not the best way to go about it. Please don't take your India users for granted.
Will post if I notice anything unusual in the phone (eg green screen)
Will be interesting to see if there will still be green display issues. Or will they release only BOE screens

Definitely only BOE since it's all from the new batch
Cant be sure of all BOE, can BOE internationally supply those many screens? If they could then why enlist two vendors in the first place ?
Mate 20 pro is currently unavailable on Amazon.in.
Not sure if its out of stock or some other issue.
No green screen in mine. All seems to be ok. Also heard new update is out where jello effect in video is gone. Haven't got the update yet.
BTW, sennheisers came in peti pack condition. Ripe for sale!

LG or BOE display? Waiting for mine, should arrive by the 10th
So far in Chennai, Croma has pushed back the delivery date from the 11th to 20th. Possible batch change for the displays?
Got mine 2 days back. Screen is by BOE. Have not noticed any glue gate issue.
Phone is blazing fast. But I don't understand the hype created over the camera. Its average to say the least. Or may be i need to explore more.
Anyone got the latest emui update. Apparently jello effect in 4k recording is fixed.

Yes it works perfectly fine
If you guys are getting a screen protector maybe post a link here if you like it? And what case are you getting if you are?
I'm thinking of the UAG monarch and a Huawei officialll flip case
Delivered on 7th. Have BOE Display. No screen issues so far.
Can anyone suggest good screen protector/film? Tempered glasses doesn't seem to fit well on the edges.
Tried True Desire Tempered glass (apparently better reviews on amazon.in) but edges won't stick. Seller advice is to apply oil on the edges which is provided in the box. For 799 bucks this is not even half decent screen protector.
Had ordered Spigen case which is decent enough but Ringke is available now. So returned the Spigen & waiting for the Ringke Fusion X.

The phone is from a brand that is not known in India as well as Apple or Samsung. This is currently the best phone on the market though. If you want to use the best hardware then you could say the phone is a hit. If you want to buy based on how cool you want to look to your friends then buy an iphone x. The brand is a miss.
Its a hit in Dubai
Users on Twitter and Amazon have the glue gate issue doesn't seem as widespread but it's still not entirely fixed by Huawei India ...
Lack of good screen guard & case availability is depressing.
UV glue tempered glass are available on aliexpress, rating is good. Anyone have experience in importing these?
Latest emui update. This does not resolve the jello effect for 4k video recording. Still waiting for that update.
Hi all,
For the last few months I've been waiting to upgrade my phone and I came to the conclusion that the mate 20 pro offer the best in term of price/value compared to P30 pro and S10/S10+.
I contacted an official Huawei retailer where I live and he told me the mate 20 pro is finally available with official warranty, I asked him about the screen gluegate issue and he told me many units were sold and there was no issues.
With that being said should I go for it and assume the newer batches don't have this issue?
In worst case scenario the screen will be replaced for free under warranty.
I purchased my Mate 20 Pro about a month and a half ago, and I've overall been very pleased with the device. I, too, bought the phone because it has everything I'm looking for in a smartphone at an affordable price.
Many have sung the praises of this phone and I concur. Overall, it's great. Battery performance amazing, the screen is beautiful to look at and the phone is snappy in every regard. I enjoy the stereo speakers of the phone, they're loud, clear and have some underlying bass, but they do not get as loud as the S9/S10 speakers. The earpiece is also significantly weaker than the bottom-firing one, delivering the high tones whereas the bottom-firing speaker has both louder volume and carries the bass.
The battery life is consistent and gets me around 7-8 hours of SOT with about 2 hours of off-screen Youtube Vanced playback. That's absolutely stellar. And when you eventually run out of battery after a long day or two, the supercharge charges the phone incredibly quickly, but the phone gets really warm in the process.
The optical fingerprint reader is good most of the time, but really finnicky at other times. I set up the 3D face unlock and never looked back, but having both options for unlocking the device makes it incredibly convenient.
The ergonomics of the device are great as well. The placement of the buttons is perfect, the phone feels good in the hand - and it's quite nice to look at as well.
At 750 USD which was the price I got the phone for, I'd say it's a great deal - especially when a S10+ is about 1000 USD. You aren't giving up much in terms of quality (screen and speaker quality) but you'll get amazing battery life in return and $250 to spend on whatever else you like.
Thanks a lot for the feedback
Well in terms of price it's around the S10E but way cheaper than S10+, I was thinking the E was my safest option but I'd give up a lot compared to mate 20 pro so the E is out of the way for me.
I assume u didn't face any problems regarding the screen green tint which is my biggest concern.
I think I'll go for the mate 20 pro and hope for the best, wish me luck.
I forgot to mention that only the exynos varient is available in my region for the S10 series. So I guess that's one more reason to get the mate 20.
I've had my Mate 20 Pro for about 3.5 weeks now and it's had absolutely no screen or build quality issues. If you go for the Twilight version, get a case as it's slippery without.

I think i'm gonna get the black version, and i'm gonna buy a case either way.
I bough mine 2 weeks ago, new, a black unit with BOE (free app device info hw can tell you whether the screen is BOE or LG, supposedly LG screens are prone to having issues, personally, I think that was just early units) display for $690 on ebay. Very happy with the phone. Followed the guide to uninstall hisearch. Phone has updated since but hisearch didn't come back, it was so annoying trying to swipe down the notifications and accidentally triggering hisearch. Unlike my previous phones, typical cases don't seem to protect the screen well enough. I bought the official flip case (the one with the small window on the front cover) because I'm worried about the edges of the screen, regular cases don't seem to have a lip big enough to protect them well. It's a little inconvenient but worth the trade off IMO. It's a popular phone so there is a decent case selection and reviews of cases are easy to find.
If I could unlock the bootloader and root it, it would be perfect but even as is, it's a great phone. If you use a smartwatch, be prepared to dig deep into battery settings to enable push notifications. The supercharger works great but I prefer just regular charging. I haven't seen any proof that supercharging is bad, it's just my reasoning to charge it slower to preserve the great battery life in the long term. I don't change phones often so seeing how well newest gen cameras perform was a bit of a surprise.
Hi everybody,
I am considering the purchase of a Honor 10 as it has a quite good value for money (at least in my country).
The only problem I have a very special relationship with water... My smartphones often experience adventures in the sea or in the bath tub...
I found out that there are certain cover for smartphones that are waterproof. However, I could not fine one for Honor 10.
Do they even exist? Would you help me out and suggest alternative solutions? I do not want to use the bag-version covers (example) as they are not practical.
Thank you in advance for every advice!

Honor 10 is alredy kinda wateeproof tested in showeer, soaking and disassembly, some water was inside but it doesn do any damage, so i recommend u juat buy silicone case and thats all.
Transparent one, because you probably want to see that ludicrous color, shifting color.
So as the title says, I have both the 23 plus and the 23 ultra. I also had a s21 ultra.
So that given, I have days that I play very long hours of Diablo Immortal on my phone, holding it in my hands. We're taking 8-10 hours at times
With the 21 ultra and the s23 plus it isn't so bad, as it had rounded corners. With the s23 ultra it's a bit more uncomfortable because the corners are squared off, so it ends up digging into my palm after awhile making it uncomfortable.
So I'm curious if anyone else with an s23 ultra plays long hours of gaming. If so what do you do about when it becomes uncomfortable in your hands? Other than the obvious which is at that point take a break, or use a control of some sort.
Ideas are welcome, and thanks in advance
I don't play, but it comes to my mind as a suggestion to put a massive case with similar angles.
Hi, i play genshin long hours using s23 ultra and lots of PS2 emulator games.
I use Gamesir X3 Pro gamepad. Its really good and comfortable for me.

This is EXACTLY why I post here. I never even thought they had a case with round corners, let alone even thinking of it.
Did a quick search on amazing and they do indeed have them.
They even have slim ones that curve ever so slightly. I think that will be enough of a round edge to cut the sharpness of the corner.
For the life of me I don't know why they made it so square, because the 21 ultra isn't that way. I get the square design from back in the s10 ultra days, but come on. It's like the curved edges, people are so n over the curves, they would rather have flat, at least the majority of people would.
I think in my looking around, the sharpness of the corners was one of the complaints about the 23 ultra.
Thanks for the advice/input/idea, I appreciate it greatly.
I'm torn between these two cases

I'm honestly leaning towards the Anqrp

Yeah, I did a search on those. There are multiple companies that make similar ones, a LOT of them don't support "with case on".
I did find one that advertised "case friendly" and I ordered one. It's called gamevice flex.
I currently use an Xbox controller and bt but I think this will work better.

Ah I see, hope it works well for you.
Personally, i prefer gaming with no case on bcs i want the cooling pad on Gamesir X3 Pro to directly touch the phone's body. More effective cooling. Just my opinion tho
