Cafele cases, very low profile yet providing basic protection for the device. - Huawei P20 Pro Accessories

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Huaw...var=413440298236&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
This is my new daily driver. It is the lowest profile case I own. It is hard plastic material. It is absolutely gorgeous on the phone. Maintains the slim dimensions of the phone without adding any bulk at all.
It is very slippery and is a fingerprint magnet. May not provide enough protection for some people. The camera is recessed but only barely. For me, it is sufficient for scratch protection and light drops overall. But I always switch out to other cases regularly for this phone. Check their other case, which is one of the best fitting low profile cases for this phone. Less flashy than the one above but the fit is just so perfect with my max coverage TGSP from Klearlook. Better camera coverage too.
See images below.

How different is the aurora colour from the original twilight colour?

It is different. Mostly purple with some green on the sides. For this reason, one forgets that, under the case the phone colour shades are different (which are also purple and green). The case is as stunning as the phone's actual colours, despite being different. It is exactly as it looks in the pictures above, really.

I have 3 of these for a few months now. The problem is that they scratch very easily and the scratches are very prominent as the color gets scratched off. After 2 weeks, they look worse for wear.... But otherwise, pretty.

Wish you'd told me about them sooner. I only found them recently.

Sorry, I didn't think there would be much interest. I like them a lot but it's a bit sad they scratch so easily and need to be wiped so often.

Yes they get super greasy but mine are unscratched. Perhaps I just pamper my phone like a baby, more than others.

The scratches and scuff marks are simply from putting it on tables. The corners get scruffy super fast.

Please ignore the mess in the background. I should clean my desk but meh maybe tomorrow.

Oh dear, I hope the uploads will be fixed soon. Trying again.

The top right hand corner isn't so bad but the other one where it looks like it's gone black is more visible. Maybe mine will look that way after some weeks too. Thanks for the feedback. Yours is more transparent at the rope than at the bottom half. Or is that just the camera angles and colours doing that?

No, there are 3 versions available.. One transparent to blue (the one you see here), one "twilight" purple to green and one purple to blue (which you seem to use). I used the blue one for a month, now have the twilight one for 3 weeks and the purple one is still unpacked.
The scruff marks are 100% from putting in on a table or night stand.

Wow... Okay. I must wait and see how mine fare over time. I am a bit extra when putting my phone on any surface. I often carry a cloth for wiping and my phone goes on top of that. Can you share the links from where you got yours? I want the other colours. Or is it from the same link as mine?
Mine is blue when looking at it straight on and purple from any other angle. And it is hard to see the gradient to transparent-green, except in only one of the pictures.

I don't put anything underneath it, I must admit I just put it on whatever flat surface is in reach, mostly my desk or the night stand.
I don't have access to the ebay site I bought the blue one, but the other two are from aliexpress.

I ordered a Smoke one on Sunday and it arrived today. It is my first case ever for a phone so I can't comment too much. It seems to fit the well and has a pleasant touch feeling. It is a little more glossy than I expected. There is a slight lip around the front that should protect the screen a little from drops. All of the buttons, ports, microphones, and speaker have cutouts as described so it doesn't impede with the phone usage.

Does it look like the attached? The images on the site are different from the Sprint and AT&T versions, though when I called Cruzerlite, they said that the cases for AT&T are the translucent material as well. Image is of the Sprint version. I'll buy one anyway, as I am in meetings a lot and would like visibility of the notification light - hoping that I might actually catch the 1 in 30 second light bleep. Thx!

Yes basically. The hole around the camera and flash is smaller on the actual case, fitting it properly. The other big difference is that the rubber of the android guy is less translucent than the picture shows. You can't see the reflective finish through the android. You can however, see the AT&T logo through it.. You can see the finish through the non-android rubber. The cutouts for the buttons and ports are larger on the actual case. The buttons are recessed behind the case, not sticking out like in the picture. They still are easy to press but it will prevent accidental pushes in your pocket. Also its hard to see in that photo, but the left and right sides are ribbed and colored like the android.
I think that picture is a photoshop.

I appreciate the feedback and detail, Patsfan (go Pats - lived up there '76-'80)! The Diztronic case I have is great, though thought I'd pick up one of these to try out and have for a backup. The images for the AT&T version all look to be solid colors without any translucency. The person on the phone said they were, but she wasn't convincing.
Yes go Pats! I will try to take a picture but the only other camera I have is a nexus one. I also have a Diztronic case on order from Amazon.. Just waiting for it to ship.

got my Diztronic saturday, its one of the nicest cases I've ever had, for any phone including my old iPhones.
I got the clear cruzerlite to try, after having gone caseless for a while and also trying one of the inexpensive HR wireless hard cases for a few weeks. I like it.
I want to add as little bulk as possible so I like the size of the cruzerlite. Especially compared to the HR wireless's huge lip around the front. I don't use a screen protector but the front lip wraps around so little that I don't think it would interfere with one. The texture of the android guy and the sides is nice.
I originally wrote that the fit wasn't great. It seemed to be offset to one side. I have since pulled the case of and put it back on starting with the other side, and it is nearly perfect now. The only real downside about the appearance, to me, is the way the material sticks to the glass back in spots (like a static window cling). But that's really minimal.
They're buy 2 get 1 free at Amazon but I only got the one (and bought some other stuff with it so shipping was free).
Bought the Black and Green one off of Amazon with Prime Shipping. That and my phone arrive Thursday.

I bought this after using the Diztronic for a month. Made the phone feel more like the svelte hardware it should be, rather than a block. Protection does not deem to have suffered either.

How To: Back Cover Swap. From Midnight Blue to Cloud White

So I wasn't too big of a fan of the Midnight Blue color, but it was the only color available from T-Mobile, so I went with it. I purchased a white back cover from ebay and this is how I swapped it out.
Link to back purchased:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261685948756?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
First is the replacement cover itself. It comes with adhesive already applied and a blue cover to be removed before sticking on.
To take the cover off the Nexus 6 I used a dull razor blade, as it was the only thing I could find that wold fit between the back cover and the metal housing. I stuck it in the bottom corner because I thought it would make it easier to peel up. I also put a piece of electrical tape at the point where the razor would touch the metal housing to avoid chipping the metal.
WARNING!!!! There is a ribbon next to the power and volume buttons that will pull up with the cover when removing make sure to use your finger to hold it down as you pull on the cover. Take your time.
Peel off protective cover of new back and stick on . Pretty simple.
Finished.
I do like it wayyyy better than the midnight blue back color. The blue was too boring for me and I am actually liking the 3 tone with white,black and blue. However, once they release the housing I will replace with the housing shipped on the Cloud White model to get rid of the blue. Also remember cloud white is slightly off white so don't a bright white. And thanks to ifixit for the instructions for removing back cover.
And FYI, the white cover has the same texture as the blue. It is also a fingerprint magnet as well, but less visible in most lighting due to the color.
Nice, thanks for sharing. Pics r a little small but still helpful.

Does it feel like factory? I received an RMA'd Nexus 6 (on my third one) and it's perfect--except there are lots of scuffs on the back. :\ I don't want to have to return it and get another dud if this works and looks stock.

It feels just like factory. I'm honestly not sure if it is factory but it is identical to the stock and a perfect fit.

This is why I got a new one. My new Nexus 6 from Sprint came with a few of those scuffs on the back almost like they used the phone as a hockey puck and slid it across the floor before packaging it or something. Nothing I have done has created anything like those scuffs so I am not sure what these phones went through during assembly. I knew the back covers would be cheap since there isn't even an NFC tag or anything attached to them.
Is it possible to still stick the old back on the phone after removing it or will the adhesive not be strong enough to stick? I was thinking about getting a white for fun to see if I like it.

The adhesive seems strong enough on the original cover to reapply. I even put the protective layer that cane with the new back on the old one.

Thanks. That's good to know because I'm sure I will be replacing it at some point (I have no case and the back cover will surely get scratched up at the minimal contact point)

There's a rubber paint that I saw at home depot for random stuff like painting your rims and dumb things and its made by krylon if I recall correctly. There is also a sand textured paint for outdoor decor which looked interesting. I'll have to see which one I want before I buy the back.

It was easy to do from the YouTube videos, but I do stress caution as the plastic underneath can crack or damage components if you don't get the credit card deep enough. Also if you go too deep the card can catch some of the holes in the plastic shell. Had no issues with the volume ribbon. I even turned the phone on before applying the back to make sure everything worked. It was easy lining everything up before pressing the back on. It fits so well I keep trying to trick myself into thinking something is wrong!

Funny. But I've decided against getting a new back. Right now I have a blue skin and may get the white carbon fiber. I really don't want to rip off the back... even though I trust myself enough. Besides, more often than not I have a colored case that would hide the back anyway. (I have at least 10 cases)

HAM2 Battery/Back Cover

Hello All,
Just thought I would pass this along in case there was anyone like me who regretted buying the white HAM2 due to it's slipperyness. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I almost dropped it due to it's slick surface and all the aftermarket covers I bought (5) made it just too big, so I bought an OEM back/battery case cover from the location below pretty cheaply.
http://www.parts4repair.com/back-cover-for-huawei-ascend-mate-2-mt2-black/
When I bought mine (black one) I saw in amazon reviews that the white and the black one were different in that the back covers were smooth vs textured, which tipped my decision for the black version. Also didn't want it to be confused for a sammy product also . Thanks for the link in case my cover ever gets damaged I know where to get it. :good:

Why did I not think of that haha. Side picture possibly? The back edge is a bit curved. If it's not too much trouble.
Her you go. You actually can see the white side trick with the black back in the side on view. It may look a bit Frankensteinish, but what the heck, I like not dropping it.
I got one of the Xtremeguard clear back protectors. They always have 80-90% off so they can be had for cheap. Works to protect and is also grippy.

Orzly FlexiCase for the OnePlus 5 arrived! Ask me anything!

Hey guys!
So I received my FlexiCase for the OnePlus 5 today! I can finally move away from my custom case.. (a oneplus 3 case with the camera slot cut out!) I am delighted to see that Orzly are one of the first big-name brands with their cases out! I had the FlexiCase for my OnePlus 3 last year and loved it, so purchased this one the moment I saw it up for pre-order on amazon.
Now lets get into the review!
One of the first things you see in the package when you open it is a letter from the companies co-founder, hoping that you like the product!
http://imgur.com/a/TpGJG
Now onto the packaging, its similar to other products. Dead front you can see through the clear piece of plastic a part of your case, and the rest of the white, orange and gray packaging is surrounding it. The back of it houses some information about Orzly, some social media handles and tells you how you can win some free prizes!
Taking the case out of the packaging, it is a flexible gel case, as the name implies. All the buttons are covered by the case, and the case has protruding areas, along with a gap between the volume up and down buttons to help you determine which is which!
Putting the phone into the case, all the ports, including the camera and alert slider line up perfectly as you can see in the images below! None of the microphones are covered, which is great seeing as I had read of a few companies had covered the one by the camera at the back! Speaker lines up perfectly, and there is ample room for your dash charge cable and headphone jack to fit in, without pushing up the case. The alert slider has a nice little touch, there is a little bit of a space behind it so that your thumb can fit in nicely, without having to struggle! It is actually very useful and you will be able to see it in the images where I compare it with the OnePlus3/3t FlexiCase. Around the back in the bottom right there is a small bit of Orzly branding, which isn't really too obtrusive and is very small.

There is a lip around the screen, which would be able to protect your device should you drop it and will help to protect you from scratches!

My opinions? This case is great for anybody who loves the thinness of the OnePlus 5. It sits nearly flush with the back, yet protects the camera. Even though it is thin, it protects the screen which is great! I personally got the clear one, but they do have other matte colours should you want them such as black, red and blue! A link to buy can be found here! (change .co.uk to .com or whatever depending on your location!)
If you have any questions about this case, feel free to ask below and I will reply!
Mine also arrived, pretty standard, good quality and it's nice to be able to see the phone!

I think the one from spigen i used on op3 is much better as it is a more hybrid material. Meaning the plastic at the edges is more solid. The edges on the orzly one are too soft so they are moving easily, i dont think it can protect the edges from high impact. Im sure if you dropp it on a edged surface like the edges of some stairs, the edges will bend back and the screen or edges will be f***ed for sure. I will buy a spigen hybrid crytal clear as soon as they pop up on amazon germany.

Ah yeah, this is the flexicase its a bit different. I used the orzly fusion bumper case mainly on my op3 last year, which would be an equivalent to that spigen i believe
That's going to be a nice shade of nicotine brownish yellow in about a month.. Whether you smoke or not.
Will never buy a clear case again for this reason.

Sooo much this. You'll need to replace this case monthly if you want to keep enjoying it. It'll look like crap soon.
Only way I'll get a clear case is if the back is hard plastic that won't discolor and the edges need to be a solid color TPU.

Have to say the one case thats nearly clear which doesn't discolour (noticeably) is the Tech 21 variants, they have a mesh so it's no completely apparent.
But yea I learned long ago that clear cases are a no no, nicotine brown is not a good look.

Hopefully not! My 3/3t flexicase is still pretty clear, slighty more yellow but not as bad as others i've seen. hoping this stays the same!

Aye it does go bad after a while, I had one years ago when i smoked and put two and two together, but it's just grime that it picks up, stick with smokey ones now or black.
Supposed they still get filthy but cant' see it as much.
Worst thing about it is they look amazing when you first get them

They do but those aren't even shipping yet. When I ordered my black case on Amazon back on June 24th the listing said shipping would start on July 13th. I've already dropped my slippery OP5 once and have a small dent to show for it. I hope the case arrives while I still have something to protect with it.

Same here. I loved the concept of a clear case to show off a nice phone. First time using a clear case was the one that came with my OPx. Didn't take long for it to start turning that nicotine brownish yellow color. (my bad smoking habit didn't help much of course) Got a black spigen case after that and haven't looked back.
I'm waiting for spigen to come out with one for the OP5 and hopefully they do so quickly. I nearly had a heart attack when I dropped it onto the concrete while exiting my work van. (chevy 3500 so It fell from a pretty good distance) Landed screen first but luckily the gorilla glass 5 held up. Ive also got one of the official OP wooden cases which has so far saved the metal finish from some minor scrapes and dings here and there.

Yep I never buy perfectly clear cases anymore, they always go off colour and look dirty. I've gone with the Otterbox for my OP5 this time around, that might change if I start feeling it's too bulky. BUT I love the knowledge and reassurance of the protection it offers over other slim/flexi cases.

Yeah, transparent plastic anything can vary quite alot I find. Some transparent stuff I've had discolors really easy, others last absolutely years without losing a single thing and still cooking crystal clear. (others, varying degrees in between). Have you got any pics of your 3T FlexiCase to show me how they hold up over the test of time? If it's not that bad, then I do like the idea of having transparent cases, because the phone itself seems pretty nice, so is nice to be able to see it through the case, especially stiff like the logo, etc.. But if it's bad, then would probably just go for a colored version instead.
Looks like even the colored ones are finally available now (even just yesterday, all but the transparent one were all showing on pre-order, so looks like t's a safe bet deliverywise for any of the colors either way now)
www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B072QX9H9G but I would still be keen to get your opinion on this, as transparent would have been my first choice, however it's a very good point that alot of people have raised, so I want to be extra specially careful to hear from real people who have used them before knowing which color to get. Main thing is I want it to look nice!
Thanks.
