Tudia GLOST Ceramic Feel Tempered Glass Back Panel Case - thoughts? - Essential Phone Accessories

I am really interested in this new Tudia GLOST ceramic feel tempered glass back case for my Essential phone:
Tudia Glost Case for Essential Phone PH-1
I know the thing isn't available (at least according to Amazon) until December 8th... but I just thought I'd see what everyone else thinks about it. Looks pretty cool, just don't know how much bulk or weight this might add to the phone. Plus I've never had any Tudia cases, so not familiar with them and how well they feel/fit.
Anyone else considering this case? Thoughts?

Got one on order, but can't tell you much about the company or cases but looks pretty sweet

Have the black case and is very nice.

I have the marble one on order I'll post pictures when they release it.

Can someone check to see if the tempered glass part is easily replaceable or if it can be taken off? Was looking at this thinking I could turn it into a bumper case.

I had the exact same thought and this is my chief interest in getting one. If I had to guess it would be that the rear plate is molded into the rubber and not easily removable but hopefully I'm wrong.

So how much weight and 'bulk' does the black case add to the phone? Would you think it adds so much that it wouldn't fit anymore into a somewhat snug belt-loop holster?

Yeah, I would guess the same thing - looks (from the picture) like it's molded right around the glass and it wouldn't be easy to remove.... I just wonder how 'breakable' that glass really is?

Can we get a real life pic of the GLOST case? I am considering the Ocean Green but may settle on Black since I am not sure what the green would look like in person. Do the sides provide any grip? I see there is some pinstriping of some sort, is that just for looks?

The case is nice and snug does not add any bulk to the phone worth noting. Also the weight in minimal. I am positive that you will like the case.

I don't think we'll get a 'real life' picture of it now, since it isn't supposed to even be released until Dec 8; it is available for pre-order though; hence why I was asking...

This is what shows up for it on Amazon, though:

Ah, OK.... I think he was talking about the other Tudia case, the one available now. I had asked since I figured they might be somewhat similar.

There are websites that will 3d print it for you if you do t have access, my brother in law has one and is gonna print me one, I'll post pics and a review if anyone is interested

Well I went ahead and ordered the GLOST case from Amazon, not supposed to be available till the 8th AT THE LEAST. Figured if I don't like it I can return it for a different one.
I'll report back on it once I receive it!

In stock on Amazon NOW. Don't forget to apply the 15% off coupon.

Is the Glost case slimmer than the Tudia Tamm case? I have that one already. It's fine, but I'd prefer something slimmer.

Drop and scratch test
Tudia posted two videos of this case to their facebook page. I'd link to it but I am not allowed to post links yet.
Drop test was from ~5ft, no damage to phone
Scratch Test was using a razor blade on the back of the case, no damage.
Looks like a pretty decent case, now I just need to find a source in Canada.

Video Review: Quibits / Basal Enterprises FlexVue TPU Case

I haven't seen any videos of this case, so I thought I'd put together a quick review for you guys. It's a pretty neat case, I kind of prefer it to the TPU-Cases model, I just wish the top was completely covered.
Also, the title should read "qubits" not "quibits".
Love the video, looks very professional. On a quick note. I wanted to point out that Yoobao has a somewhat similar TPU case with that missing top part that you mention was missing cover.
Here is a link for it:

Thanks for the link! That case looks like a real winner. I might have to purchase it and review it - from the looks of it, it also still has the large Micro-USB cut out.

Well, I purchased it and received it yesterday. I love the darn thing. The screen protector was cut out for the device, because it has the cut out exactly where the light sensor is. (I also installed and had 0 problems with the installation.)

I have this Yoobao but I decided I wanted to keep the cheapie kickstand case. I still haven't opened it to test it. I can do that or if you want I can sell it to anyone here for 10bux shipped, if you are in the USA. I posted this in the marketplace, but I do not think many others venture out of the device forums lol

How does it fit? Is it really tight? I'm looking for a TPU case because the Tmob case I got when I got the phone is simply way too floppy and loose. That Yoobao you posted is exactly what I'm looking for because I want a clear case to show off the phone's design. If the fit is tight and the cutouts all align nicely I'm purchasing it immediately lol.
To stay on topic, the OP's video looks very professional and I've looked at the Qubits case a lot too.

It fits like a glove, no flimsiness and not loose at all! Every single cutout is made EXACTLY where it needs to be. I was amazed by that.
Thanks for the review. Looks like a better case than the rubber one I got from T-Mobile for $20. The case is too loose around the sides. I already scraped the side with my key. I will be buying one of these TPU's.

1 more question: how long did it take for you to get it? I really want to try it out, but I'm leaving for college in 13 days, so the fact that it's shipping from Hong Kong kinda makes me worried that I wouldn't get it in time.
If in the uk amazon sell the grey one through a seller named "podjunkie" bit the order is fufilled by amazon

That was a great review, thanks! I think I'm going to pick up the smoked one, but I would love if the black one had the middle clear like the smoked one does. Right now I have the Incipio NGP but the open volume rocker and clear center make this very appealing
Sorry for the mega-necro, but I am selling all of my leftover HTC Sensation accessories at very low prices. Please help out a student and check out my marketplace posting.

i got similar case ( black , not transparent and slightly different in design) as OP from amazon for $5.99 with free 2 days shipping ( 4 bucks cheaper ^^). This is really good case, fit tight and look awesome. As OP said,only weak point is that this case doesn't cover the top ( i guess they decide to design this way so you can put in/ or take off the case easier. I have similar type of this case for my mytouch 4G, my nexus S and it is a little bit more difficult to take the case off or put it in) This is always my first choice when i buy my phone's case.

This is honestly the best case I've ever used. Fits perfectly, adds a nice feel to the phone (I don't feel like it will snap in my hand anymore).

yea i dont mind either the smooth or sand. these are just the only tolerable cases because they are slim and don't make the phones even bigger
I have a hard time not buying a case from rearth. I freaking love their cases, just ordered mine from there.

I messaged bear motion on Facebook and they said they will be producing cases for the new moto X but they have no ETA at the moment.
Does rearth have one that is like the slim bear motion
I ordered this case and, while I don't normally use cases, I'm very happy with it. I won't have the phone to go with it for a while, but my old Droid DNA fits in it and I can tell that I wouldn't have a problem using the new X with a case on 24/7...really nice feeling, I think it's the curves.

I ordered the case from your first link too. For only 10 bucks I figured it would hold me over until the bear motion snap on cases come out. My case will be here tomorrow but who knows when the phone will arrive.
I like the motomaker bumper case, protects the edges but shows the design of your phone. Hopefully some aftermarket companies will start making bumper cases for a better price.

Given the shape of the Moto X, will a bumper case sufficiently protect the back of the phone, specifically the center? I like the idea of that bumper case, I'm just worried that since the phone tapers around the edges that the fat part of the phone in the middle will be susceptible to scratches and since I'm planning on a wood back that's a no go.

it looks thick enough that it'll raise the phone just a tad bit. i usually lay my phone face down, to protect the display. i am hoping the bumper gives enough lift so the front speaker grills don't get scratched

not really. i had a bumper case for my n4, and that did not add much bulk to it. it actually felt good in the hand. i could be totally wrong with this phone though

The bear motion cases add very little bulk to the devices and seem to protect the edges very nicely (at least they did on the Gen 1). Hopefully they will offer a 2014 model.

Ugh, again they cover the dimple. The original was probably the best case I've ever used, but how the hell do they decide to cover the dimple? I actually like the one on the 2nd gen more than the first.
edit: interestingly enough, the back of the phone isn't right in those pics on amazon. the flash isn't correct. here's hoping there's a chance they do have a cutout, even if i doubt it.

Yeah I'm not sure what phone that is in the photos. It's not even the 1st gen moto X because I have several of those cases and they look nothing like that. I don't mind that they cover the dimple, but to each his own.

any good (non book cover) cases for the nexus 9

Hey there I am looking for nexus 9 case
That provides some drop protection
Without being like a tank
i want something like the spigen Hybrid Series
but they don' make them for the n9
and the only case that i have find excluding book cover cases are
the Cruzerlite Bugdroid

But it provides very minimal protection
and the SUPCASE
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ONRSSF0/
Which proved extreme protection, but adding too much thickness to the device
so is there any suggestions for the any case you know about
I have the supcase and purchased it on its release. While it does add a bit of builk the device fits securely inside the front of the case and then the thicker rear snaps around the front. It is similar to the otterbox i guess however it does not have the rear shell. the rear of this case kind of is a hibrid of the plastic shell and a hard gel rear sort of thing

do you feel that the case makes the device
To become very bulky or is it Just little bit because in pictures it looks huge
ill be honest in that it makes the device bigger. It gives it a little bit of weight also.
in that though, i am used to it now and it provides excellent protection. i would recommend it to anyone who used an otterbox type case on their other devices. It was also half the price.
I was initially waiting for the poetic case however with shipping from america it was going to cost approximately 70-80AUS $. I got this case for about half that price, so very stoked.
I've found the Kayscase to be pretty decent. I have it in the frosted clear. I've never owned any of the Cruzerlite cases for devices, but I imagine the Kayscase would be similar. Also, I am not sure how well it would actually fair if dropped. However, it is reasonably light, doesn't add a ton of thickness or bulk to the case, seems to be easier to grip, and provides just a slight lip over the bezel and screen.
ETA: It occurred to me that the image shown below is probably a Nexus 7. The Nexus 9 version looks pretty much exactly the same, except it doesn't have the rear speaker cutouts. The shape of the rear camera cutout is also different to accommodate the flash on the 9.
You can find it here:
http://www.amazon.com/Google-Nexus-...d=1420779419&sr=8-2&keywords=kayscase+nexus+9
I have both the bugdroid and the supcase. I really an confident with the Supcase enough that I take it with me on the farm, something I haven't done with a tablet since back in my Xooms with the Defender case. Man, that thing was a monster to carry.
Honestly as long as supcase makes cases for whatever device I own I'll never buy another OtterBox. They're not quite as bulky and I honestly think they're better made. I have one on my nexus 6 as well.

OP, I know this is not what you asked for, but your title made me think of taking a hardcover book, and "Andy-Dufresne-ing" the inside of it to make it the dimensions of the Nexus 9, and then stabilizing it in there somehow. you would have to glue the edges of the paper together on the outside, but this could be a terrific idea... if done correctly.
For those who don't know what Andy-Dufresne-ing a book is, go home and watch The Shawshank Redemption.
I fully expect my "thanks meter" to shoot up through the roof right about now....

I looked at that one as well but went with the Poetic hardshell case from Amazon (Can't post links yet ), it does add some bulk, but sure is secure. Still the purple one looks interesting.
Still scratching my head over the round cutout on the bottom front of the case. Was the Nexus 9 supposed to have a fingerprint sensor there?

This is my clear favorite since I literally HATE flip cases and generally think, that cases should not kill the elegant shillouette of a phone.
So I don´t link monster security safety cases either. But that´s just me
I have found these which let you add custom images:
Cover Case
Leather Flip Case
I just ordered a case from Amazon. Will see how it preforms before I post a link to it. It looks promising.
will the cases and screen protectors for the chinese/international variant (x720) fit on the US variants (x727)?

I ordered this one Flip Leather Case, but when i ordered it come from China (available in EU warehouse now) and is stil in transit.
Is there a flip case that has a magnet inside and smart sleep function? To turn on and of the phone when it flips? I didn't find on ebay.
Curious if anyone got one of these cases

Sandstone Case
I got this one from eBay. Copies the sandstone finish from OnePlus. The ring stand can be removed.
Item number: 291908663865(Can't post links yet)
I wanted one like the caselogic I have for my Note 4 but could not find. This one at least sort of "looked" the same. But it doesn't lol. the side gold color is silly and ugly but it is $5 and delivered from USA. So its a cheap much better solution till I can find what I want/need
PS: caselogic for note 4 is beter cause it has hard case on the side. this Chinese doesn't (it just changed the side color.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/13200510908...49&var=431352460498&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
good things about the case:
1. protects well the screen
2. using the fingerprint almost makes me feel that this case is a must. it fits my finger so perfectly that I have no miss reading it
3. because the side part is much stronger than the original case I don't accidently turn off the screen anymore when I rotate the phone
overall: not pretty but very functional case

I got the black leather case from the first link you posted from amazon... got it to hide the almost-rose-gold phone body color that was the only option to purchase during the 'lightning deals'. It fits really well, added grip on the sides, the fake leather backing gives it a nice texture but very plastic-y, doesn't overheat, overall it offers very little protection on the corners and the front glass is protected by the border of the case but only minimally. Hope this helps.
the leather is not even close to be leather. it is plastic imitating leather. The caselogic is way much better texture. My hope is that as the phone gets more popular a company like caselogic decides to build a case for. But ... it is only $5 and way much better than the one that comes with it.
I do like that i have to actually put some pressure to click in the buttons. this way, i never accidentally click on anything. And i never missed a fingerprint reading since i changed to this case. Link i gave is the same one, but delivers fast from usa.
if anyone find one that is real leather and not plastic in the sides please let me know.
this is what i want:
Bought this case https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N8Y8WUD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Fits exactly as it should, slightly thicker than the stock case so the camera is _slightly_ more protected. Also has the thicker bumpers on the edges in the same material as the rest of the case. Not incredibly shock-proof but it fits the phone very well, looks nice, and when paired with the full-front Toshion screen protector it is very classy IMO. Pictures to come later when I get home!

As promised some photos of the case next to the stock case, and on the phone itself. Sorry for the potato quality, took the photos with my old Zenfone 2.

dbrand taking preorders!!!

Finally, dbrand (our most beloved robots) are taking preorders for the grip case for the Note 9! I have estimated shipping date of February, I am soooooo excited!! I had a grip case for my note 8 and was the best case ever, took quite alot of abuse and worked like a champ. Can't wait for this one to arrive .
Nice, does this case have a back on it or is it just a bumper like the Note 8 one?

It looks like a thin TPU case, if I recall correctly it used to not have a back like you say so you can still use your skin of choice and was moreso like a bumper but a thick bumper with some snazzy D30 rubber on the corners for drops. I don't see D30 mentioned anywhere on the website, did they scrap it all together? IMO this new case looks kinda cheap...

Oh man.. if only they could do this. I've literally found nobody else besides RhinoShield that does a bumper-only case for the Note 9. I bought that case TWICE and sent it back twice after giving it a second chance. Their buttons on their cases are AWFUL. So hard to register a click. And they are barely raised.
Which makes this Dbrand case a bit worrisome to me. They look flush with the sides of the case. I wonder how "clicky" they are. Spigen has the best buttons, IMO.
If anyone finds any indication that Drband will give us this case as a bumper-only option, please let us know. Thanks!

Just went and looked at it. Interesting, think I'll order one.
Still not sure if this is just a bumper or a complete case with different stick on backs?
Anyone know?

Kinda hard to tell from the photo but if it's just a bumper I will have a small crisis from the excitement.

Just heard back from Dbrand and this is a full case and not just a bumper.

I'm gonna wait until this is out of pre-order stage because I'm a bit anal and I need to know exactly when my purchases will ship. But one thing I noticed that I'm kinda disappointed about is that the curved design of the front of the case doesn't look the same as what is promoted. Is that curved thing only for other cases and not for our Note 9 or are the photos just not clear enough?
Also, with the way the back of the case is designed, does it mean we can swap out skins at will or is the skin we choose at checkout permanently attached to the back of the case?
The note 9 has been out 5-6 months now and they are this late getting this case to market, What Gives?
Just ordered one with one extra back.

Color sticker for the back.

Wonder if the different color backs are reusable?

I emailed Dbrand about this but haven't heard back yet. Has anyone got any idea about this? Is our Note 9 case going to have the curved design like in the image above?
The Note 10 will be out before this case.
Anyone place an order for this case yet? Dbrand website still shows "February" shipping but no specific date. If anyone here has placed an order do you have some shipping info? How long before you get it? Any reviews online on this case yet?

I placed an order a couple of weeks ago and still have no shipping or tracking information. Let me go login to their site and see if there are any updates.
Just checked my order and it only says Pre-Order, ships February, nothing new.

Just got an email from them. They said orders will ship "Mid-February". These people really need to stop promoting products they cannot ship within a week or two. When did they start promoting this new Grip case? Several weeks ago? And they're still not available. Are the pre orders their desperate attempt to pay bills? And Dbrand isn't the only one guilty of doing this.
No further images on this case to help us get a better idea of what it will look like, no further videos, hell, they haven't even sent out any Grip cases to influences so we can see some YouTube reviews on it. What gives?
