Sadly they don't have a large range of colours yet, only black or blue:
Black : http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/olixar-armourdillo-oneplus-5-protective-case-black-p64276.htm
Blue : http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/olixar-armourdillo-oneplus-5-protective-case-blue-p64278.htm
Although at £12.99 and offering similar protection to the Otterbox I would still say that's a great deal. Mine is in the post so I'll add some images when it arrives.
I'm hoping the ridges on the bottom are the same depth as the pop-out stand as pop-out cases usually tend to rock when you try to use the phone on a table. It doesn't look like that's the case though, that's the main thing I would want to change about it.
I'd love to know how they got the phone in silver with a white front, possibly it was a prototype for cases they were given, I would guess this as the ports on the bottom seem to be sealed.
In other news, the Rhinoshield has also just arrived in stock with MobileFun today too:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/rhinoshield-crashguard-oneplus-5-protective-bumper-case-black-p64392.htm
I've ordered that as well so I'll try to leave a small review when it arrives.

So, The Armourdillo has arrived (MobileFun sent an e-mail explaining that the Rhinoshield is delayed ) :
See attached pictures for the Armourdillo (Black) in all it's glory...along with a nice shot of my pentile matrix on my Orzly screen protector, you can see there is adequate protections for the back/sides, there's ample room around the ports, the notification switch is also very accessible.
The phone will rock slightly when it's on it's back and you're using it which I predict will become a bugbear, really don't understand why they can't raise the ridges slightly or make the stand removable, all these types of cases have these oversights.
As you can see there's adequate face protection too, especially when you're using a TGP as I am, there's still clearance with that on too.
Any questions, let me know.

How breakable is the outer part? I had one on my workphone (A5 2016) and one little drop cracked the back. Wasn't pleased one bit but I hope it's got better

Not sure and I don't intend to find out but it seems sturdy enough, the case does add a bit of weight to the phone but with the added protection I don't mind.

Does it stick out a lot, the stand part?

It does a bit, I really wish they'd make that an clip on part or raise the rest of the back to match.

Best leather flip-top case?

I want a case with a special opening for the camera. Some casings have this belt clip which is blocking it, and others just have cheap-looking casings.
Any recommendations (links, as well as worldwide shipping, will be helpful)?
I bought the PDAir one, haven't received it yet, but I can post a comment when I get it.
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000558&products_id=14413
I think this will be good enought for you.
http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_ss_w_...-keywords=diamond+2+tasche&sprefix=diamond+2+
Just order mine from Piel Frama. My past experience with them are very good. They always make excellent product. Price for Diamond2 flip case is EUR65 including world wide courier shipment.
http://www.pielframa.com/indexeng.htm
Thanks for all the replies.
Piel's case looks really nice, but the price is too expensive for a casing. Noreve's casing has no camera opening, which is important.
If any of you bought such casing, some photos would be great.
This is the best I've found, but the case doesn't really protect the sides of the device: http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4549&t_mode=des&id=4549&ccur=true
Thanks
Noreve's case does have a camera opening (look again).
I want a slim and smart case.
I bought the pdair flip, and its very good quality, as all pdair cases are. But I am a wee disappointed by the width (and the way the double stitching surrounds the screen). It just makes the device look fatter then it is.
I want to get the Noreve case, as it looks the nicest, but its a bit expensive. Anyone got a Noreve discount code ?
the other one to watch is beyza - but their diamond 2 case is not out yet.
You're right, it does. The photos at their site are not really clear...
This case is really great, I agree. I got a silicone case, which is great, but I fear for the life of my screen (i'm not using any screen protector too)...

As I spent a fair amount of $$$ on the Phone, I did not want to skimp on the appropriate clothing for my Topaz.
A few Photos of the case, I think you have to imagine the colour as being a bit darker than it appears on the photos, well on my monitor.
The actual color if it helps is a Dark Graffite

I'll second that with the Piel Frame cases, I had one for my old Dell PDA, very well made, high quaility, easy to use & fitted well, also had a decent belt clip, but... that price is very high, £55 for a case is too much, shame as they are good.

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...

PDair Hard Case for TD2

Seen lots of chat about silicon cases and leather pouches on the forum, but had wondered if anyone has tried PDair's Rubberized Hard Case for their TD2 yet?
I stumbled across it while browsing for silicon cases, but wouldn't mind something a bit sturdier. Actually looks like the same mold as used for the crystal case but in rubberized black plastic. And all for equivalent of about £10.50...

Looks exactly like this one I am using:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160344468071
(I am not the seller, this is not advertisement)
Best fitting case I know, best protection, it is a mix of hard case and silicone case
That does look pretty similar. Good to hear the fit is ok...was a little worried it would add a lot more bulk to the phone than a standard silicon case...any thoughts? Also if anyone has clearer pics available...
I tried three silicon cases before, but this one is my favourite.
My Girlfriend has just fitted this to her phone: Rubberized Hard case. (Mine is the phone on the left... yes, she got the same phone as me! )
Only just fitted it tonight but it feels OK and doesn't look too bad, looks like it would provide quite a lot of protection and seems really hard to open!
I'm not the ebay seller (I didn't link to a specific seller but to the search results page) She paid about £3 from Hong Kong.
Good call, have ordered too....worth a try at £3.25!
This case the same as the one mentiones in the first posts here. I can confirm all you said .
Thanks for those photos it looks better than I thought it would... I ordered black, white and red should get the black soon waiting on the other colours then I'll mix and match the cases
Just to add to all those who have ordered, there's one side of the case (on my g/f's its the right) that where the two sides clip together is a space for your fingernail to open the case.
On the other side it does not have this space and makes it really hard to open!
I just received mine today (black) and I have to say I love it so far. It seems to be very secure and it looks pretty nice in my opinion.
lol I got my black one today as well in the post. I like it alot as well. Would have preferred it didnt cover the area over the around front lens bit but thats a minor gripe otherwise it's a great fit and it's got more of a velvet feel to it which is nice! doesn't feel as chubby as it did before with a silicone case on it! Great price as well under £4 on ebay... pdair price is too steep for what it is! now I just await my white and red one
I bought this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260471207242
for $3.50, looks like the from pdair and considering that the price of the one from pdair is $18 this one is a best buy.
Received my different coloured versions of this case and have to say it makes the phone look a lot more eye catching! ... I'm sporting a black front with a white back on the phone at the moment

[Review] Noreve Ambition Leather Case (Lie de vin)

Hi guys,
Just wanted to present a review of my new Noreve case for the Lumia 920. While I don't post in this section of the forum usually, those who know me will know that I love my Noreve cases, and I think that they are the best cases that money can buy. So I am thrilled to be reviewing another case by them, this time for the Nokia Lumia 920. This is my 4th Noreve case, so I am familiar with the company and with their dedication to quality.
Right off the bat, you are as always, greeted with the quality Noreve packaging :

The smell of genuine leather hits you after you've taken the case out of it's protective sleeve. The colour for this particular case is described as "Lie de vin" on the Noreve website, and is part of their Ambition selection. It's a grainy leather with a very fine, soft touch to it. It's not prone to fingerprints or smudges. The colour I think it's really great, as a standard black case for this phone wouldn't quite do it justice I think. It's a deep pink and it looks luscious.
Here are some more pictures of the case, with more detail, and shots covering both sides, the top, and the back.
The great thing about Noreve cases are the cut outs for the ports. They're all flawless, everything which needs to be there simply is, and anything which doesn't simply is not. The clasp when you close the case is nice and firm, and will not open unless you want it to. The stitching throughout the case is exceptional as always as with Noreve cases. Then again, you get what you pay for. This case in this finish is 53 Euros on their website. While some may feel like that's a lot, it's a case with outstanding quality. And this being my 4th Noreve case, I can say with experience that they hold up to just about anything, while looking classy as can be at the same time. I've never had any of their cases wear out on me, or have the stitching come apart, etc. These are built like tanks, yet still look elegant. Usually, those two features are mutually exclusive to one another.
And just the touch and smell of high quality genuine leather gets me every time..
Thank you all for reading. For those of you who are interested, you can check out their Lumia 920 product page here.
Also feel free to check out my other reviews on Noreve cases on this forum. A quick search for "Noreve" at the top should bring them up
Cheers.
Does this allow wireless charging with the case on?

I might be wrong but I don't think you can do wireless charging with any case on.
Wireless charging with the original nokia cover CC-1043 is working!

General Case Review / Discussion Thread

Leave your reviews / comments about any cases for the Xperia XA1 Ultra
.......
Here's a case from X-Level. Ordered from Aliexpress for around $6 USD. Unfortunately it the package was crushed during shipping, leaving some minor bulging at the sides... It looked really bad on the first day, but after 24 hours, the case returned to (mostly) it's original form.
Comments:
- Very slim fitting, material is quite nice (I don't think it's TPU, it's more of a silicone material that is somewhat matte to the touch)... I have noticed it's a tad bit slippery because of the matte finish.
- Buttons are extremely easy to press, maybe even too easy. I feel like they're even more responsive than without a case which is weird. I've accidentally pressed down the power button and volume button a few times. Camera button doesn't have great responsiveness because it is two-stage, so it's hard to discern whether you are pressing it or holding it.
- Biggest complaint is that it bulges a bit at the top and bottom. I've seen this with other cases for the Xperia XZ, XZ Premium, and XA1. I guess the slab-like design of the phones makes it hard to get a tight, form-fitting look. It's not very noticeable in my photos, but it's definitely an annoyance visually.
- If the case was a little big more snug, specifically I would have given this a much much higher review, as there are aspects I really like about this. I think if this case made out of TPU would be much better fit. 7/10.

I just ordered this one as I'm a fan of the Nillkin Nature series.
Will post actual photo once I got it.

Nice! I was *almost* going to buy this, because I like the quality of Nillkin, but I'm not the biggest fan of transparent cases (so I opted for the matte black one you see in the post above). Look forward to seeing what it looks like in person!
Here's the Nillkin hard-shell case. This was the first case I got a few months ago but never posted. If it only covered the top and bottom I would be using it more often.

I love the Nillkin Frosted cases dude! I've got the frosted black for my X and a frosted gold for my XA and they fit beautifully. Might consider the gold one for my XA1U, I would like the white one but I work a dirty job so of course it'll wear more!
Anyone have experience with the love mei cases. I'm a rugged case kind of guy and this seems about our best option but no personal experience with them
I am using this one
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Xperia-XA1...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
It's good match with white.
