Alternative thin case found - AliExpress - Google Pixel Accessories

5color Gel TPU Slim Soft Anti Skiding Case Back Cover For Google Pixel XL 5.5 inches Phone Rubber silicone Bag Coque Fundas
http://s.aliexpress.com/2AjEVJJ7
(from AliExpress Android)
Pros
Slimmer than a Spigen liquid.
A very slight lip bump for the front
All round coverage
Rubbery TPU material, easier to install and remove
Ports has proper cut out and well aligned, no issue with plugging
Price, it's only Usd 1.78
Cons
Slightly slippery, too smooth to the touch
Buttons are recessed (personal preference for button caps, easier to click)
Shipping, approximately 2 weeks
Never had calicase or Peel available where I am, rather than using forwarder shipping I decided use AliExpress.
Found this gem and got the translucent white, maybe these are the oem version of the thin cases around.

Can you post pictures?

[Review][Official]Cruzerlite Androidified TPU Case

This is a review of www.cruzerlite.com and the Cruzerlite Androidified TPU Case for Motorola Droid RAZR.
The cost of this case is a measly 9.90 plus shipping/handling.
They had very fast shipping for a weekend order which we all know is often not the situation with many on-line vendors. The sale was completed and I received the case in under a week.
I found this case at http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/motorola/cruzerlite-androidified-tpu-case-for-motorola-droid-razr
They have 9 total colors available for this case including the green model in this review.
The material used for this cases construction is 100% TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) plastic.
There are well placed cutouts for the various buttons, ports, headphone jack and speakers/mic.
The case fits nice and snug to the phone. The case makes a very nice small ridge/buffer zone which protects the screen from all those small grains of dust that will spider the screen when it lands face down.
The functionality of the case is nice as well. Some people like raised buttons such as on silicon cases. The cutouts keep that from happening by keeping the buttons recessed a little bit. The volume up and down does not have cutouts but has the raised coating to cover the switch.
The case slides easily in and out of my front jeans pocket and never hangs up on entry or removal.
Something I could never say about any previous silicon cases. The case is very easy to put on and remove.
It has a very nice and clean design to it. The little androids on the back of the case is a nice touch to break up what would be a very boring look. I find no flaws with the case in design and manufacturing of it.
Final thoughts...Cruzerlite has gone the extra mile in making and offering a economy price for a solid design.
9.90 plus shipping. Can you go wrong for a case that is made well, fits right, will protect from all sorts of incidents and looks this good. You can't go wrong picking up Cruzerlite Androidified TPU Case for your Droid RAZR.
I would like to thank cruzerlite for providing my with the case to review.
I guess I didn't realize I put this in the themes and apps forum initially. My apologies. Thanks for moving to accessories

Spigen bounce case

Gotta say this is the best TPU case I've ever used. Even better than Diztronic IMO. When Diztronic releases theirs in a few days I may pick one of those up as well, just for comparisons sake.

Getting mine later today can't wait
Received mine today and it's a really nice case. It's not quite as snug as the Tudia Melody case (which is pretty nice for the price) so I suspect that one of the thicker screen protectors would like fit nicely and make the case a bit tighter.
The Bounce has a really nice feel to it, although it's quite a bit more slick than the Melody. The Melody has a more supple texture to it around the edges, making it a bit easier to grip.
As far as looks, the Bounce easily beats the Melody. It has very sleek, modern look to it.
Tudia Ultra Slim Melody case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F3U7DC0/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
just got mine also, Ordered on the Oct 20 from main company website (to Canada paid premium shipping to guarantee no custom charges). I got combo with glas t slim (not r) and all seems well. I was under the impression that the glas had individual cutouts for sensors and camera but it is a single opening for ear speaker and sensors. No opening for camera. I think I just got confused. Grey bounce with orange button. I really found the phone just way too slim and the beveled edges of the bounce help to fix that. Still I think a monster battery is in my future. Overall nice purchase and better/easier to grab and go. Just put the glas and protector on so haven't used it yet, but just the front lip makes it much nicer to handle. Love the side buttons.
Just got my bounce case, feel very solid and the side buttons are very smartly designed. Highly recommend, they should produce more colors to choose from.

UAG vs SPIGEN SLIM ARMOR - QUICK COMPARO WITH PICS

Just received a White UAG today.....Thought i'd do a quick comparo with a Slim Armor (Metal Slate) that I've had on for the last few weeks. Don't get me wrong....both these cases are a excellent choice and I'll be swapping between them both. I'll add to this list after a few days of use as well.
UAG over the Slim Armour Case
- Tighter Fit
- More Lightweight
- Grippier Sides (thanks to the Honeycomb Pattern)
- Lip on the front is bigger (more face protection)
- Bigger Hole for the micro USB 3.0
- Bigger Hole for headphone Jacks
- More rugged masculine looking
- Slighly more camera protection (Deeper Groove)
- 1 piece deisgn
- Bigger Hole for IR Blaster
- Least resistant to cosmetically scratch
Slim Armor Over the UAG case
- Classier Sleeker Prossional look
- Cutouts are more professonally done/ finished
- 2 piece design (could be a con)
- Slighly Thinner
- Cheaper (depends where you get it from but in my case it was $6 cheaper)
On Par-
- Tactile Buttons for the Power and Volume are excellent
- Both have "feet" on the back to protect the case
- Both excellent designs and looks
- Both I think could take a fairly big hit or drop and do the job intended
- Both go very well with a Glass.t tempered screen protector
I feel that the SA has significantly worse tactile feedback for the power button. The SA power button is more recessed and mushy. The SA also has a crappy cutout for the headphone port, most earbuds won't fit unless the plug is skinny like on the samsung headset. The UAG opening practically fits every 3.5mm plug I've tried.
we hope to see some great pics if it possiple

Man that is a tuff choice. Cant wait to see some pics soon. Love they way both look.
Thanks for the pics. The UAG is bulkier but lighter?
Also, is the Slim Armor Metal Slate the only non-glossy/shiny color? Looks good.

Yeah the UAG is a fair bit lighter. Its weird that the UAG is that much thicker because when its on the phone you'd think the slim armor is bulkier.
I think the slate is the only not glossy one of that series. ..that was one of the reasons why I got that color.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I can confirm that after nearly a weeks use.... I believe the UAG case is more of a keeper than the slim armor.....it just feels better on the phone. The lightweight construction is a massive plus. The Grippier sides and the better designed face lip are all a bigger advantage. I'm extremely impressed by this case.

from here.....comes with free shipping. probably took 10 or so business days from order to delivery...and that was to Australia....quicker to US i'd imagine?
SlimArmor FTW
UAG Worth its money
I got my white UAG case along with my white GN3. Although i tried no other case on it, i have to say i'm impressed by its looks and construction. The case is stunnigly use friendly and the added bulk is beneficial to have a steady grip in the little monster (at least for my hands). The one piece hybrid design is better than i thought since the rubber part is sturdier and less of a dirt sweep than a 2 piece (had otterbox in my hd2 and casemate in my gn1 with the latter being a total disappointment).
On the plus side if you favor cases that draw attension uag will pimp your gn3 like no other. Most of my tecnology illiterate friend notice the case before the phone.
Finally i can confirm that UAG has free shipping with their cases and the delivery time was about 8 days for me.
What about the issue with the missing cutout for the temp/humidity sensor (whatever that is)? Has there been a v2 which fixed it?
No issue now with the cut out. ...they fixed it a few weeks back.

are you able to tell me which one can connect to the multimedia dock without removing the case?
currently using the PDAIR booktype slim case and it fit on the multimedia dock but the top two side plastic is crack and about to break soon.
I am on a market for a new case that fit on the multimedia dock. Currently thinking of buying the Seidio Surface case as it looks like it can fit the dock and has a kickback stand.
Can someone confirm for me

One question.
Which one has better grip in your hands?
EDIT:
Does it slide smooth in and out off your pocket or is it laggy?

Heavy Duty "Active Cases" for Pixel?

Before my Pixel I had an HTC One M8 with a Spigen Slim Armor. I ride a bicycle both on road and off road. I fell off my bike onto my right thigh pocket where my phone was and ended up denting the phone.
In my search the Otterbox Commuter/Defender seems to be the only options for true-heavy duty Pixel cases. If I get the Defender I would have to stop using my glass screen protector. The Commuter seems more reasonable, but ( as for any non-Apple/Samsung Otterbox) has only 2 color options and yes I know I'm being picky now.
Does anyone have any other recommendations for a good impact resistant cases? I don't think I'm ever not gonna carry my phone when I ride my bike, so I want a somewhat heavy duty case that can prevent the phone scenario that I previously described. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I had a Supcase for one of my phones before and I did not like the built in screen protector. When I took it off it ended up scratching my front glass display somehow. Also the back did not feel as rigid as the OtterBox cases.

Ah ok. The Spigen tough armor is great. It's one of my favorites. I currently have the rugged armor and love it
Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
I'd totally recommend the UAG case with a Spigen tempered glass screen protector (If you're into screen protectors). I've dropped my Pixel a few times already with my UAG case and it survived. Used them on my last HTC M9 as well, no complaints!
I agree. The UAG with a tempered glass is a good combo to tackle those accidental drops. The UAG upper lip around the phone safeguards the phone really well. I have used the defender before, somehow the built in screen protector doesn't feel nice and dust keeps coming in. Another option would be the OtterBox commuter as you mentioned

YOUMAKER Slim Fit Full-body Rugged Heavy Duty Protection Cover Case for Google Pixel . It is dual-layer structure of premium shock-absorbing TPU and durable hard polycarbonate provide protection against accidental drops, bumps and shock. It is also belt clip holster provides an easy solution of carrying the device during travel and work.
UAG, Spigen Rugged, Orzly (Fusion, Great impact resistance but case prune to scratches), Have all the 3 cases UAG feels great also looks good on phone (Personal preference), Spigen no choice of colors, unless you buy their other series like slim armor blah blah but sturdy. I keep switching between Spigen and UAG, Use orzly occasionally for it glow in dark rim (Only with White).
I got a Lifeproof for my pixel. Best case out there. From now on when I upgrade phones, the availability of a Lifeproof case will be a strong consideration.
I went for the rhinoshield crashguard. It has impact resistance of 11 foot drops but is a bumper case so it leaves the fingerprint reader unimpeded. That being said, it wont stop bending or impacts directly to the glass, but I use it with a tempered glass cover.
It's been great for me because I feel comfortable filming from my skateboard or bike without worrying about having a wrist strap.

Hi, I've just bought a Lifeproof Fre for my Pixel. The flip camera gesture to swap in and out of selfie mode does not work with this case on, and neither does the "lift to check phone" one. Are you experiencing these issues too? And does the screen go black when making a phone call? (Can't end the call or do anything on the screen during call).

I'm not experiencing any of these issues with this case. Not even sure how a case would effect these things.

Cases

Any reviews or feedback on cases. I've always used a thin spigen TPU case with the carbon fiber look. Wouldnt mind another one or a suede feeling case.
Most of the good looking ones on ebay show no cutout on the rear for the fingerprint.
Thanks
I ordered the FitBag Beat in black from Amazon.com for the Xioami Mi Max 2 and it is the perfect fit sleeve/bag for the Mate 20 X. It works by itself or with the gel Case that came with it. Add a wallet sticker dohicky thing and it's a prefect wallet sleeve.
Here some really good and good quality smart (wake & sleep) flip cases from Aliexpres.

For those of you who like the transparent cases i found one that is awesome. It has more screen protection than the stock case and has more corner protection. It's one of the best clear cases I've bought. It's similar in quality to a Spigen or Rinke Fusion case but 1/3 the price. I bought it from here:

Grippy?
Anyone know where can I find this case?
I got this case and I feel it could provide decent protection. I am never a fan of thin or thick case. It's impossible to provide enough raised edges on thin cases. This case isn't perfect but I didn't find anything better yet.

Just Google MojoSkins.
I got a few from them. Thier full protection skins are great but hard to get on perfect. The back portion goes on easy as the skin is thick making application simple. They also over back protectors (no side/top/bottom flaps) that I think work best.
Bought this J&D case off Amazon for $10.99CND. Not too bulky. Wicked drop protection soft TPU inside Hard shell outside. Plus has plugs built in to protect charger port and headphone jack. Plus the volume and power buttons are super clicky. Highly recommend.
The clear TPU case provided with the phone is functional (I dropped my phone onto a hard floor with this case on and the phone was fine), but I do find the phone 'slippery' to pick up with this case. I have the Nillkin nature series tpu case for my Xiaomi Mi Max 3 (same size phone) and it is great because its edges are coated with a frosted grip material. Nillkin make this case for the Mate 20 and Mate 20 lite, but not for the Mate 20 x. Does anyone know of a similar clear TPU case that (unlike the Huawei one) has frosted edges for a better grip?
I have quite a few cases and have a few more on the way. I was thinking of doing a case review eventually.
Still no cases made especially for the stylus pen?
Ditto on looking for a case that will also hold the pen.
Found one with pen holder!
