Seidio Active & Barely There cases...

I have one of each of these cases in white and a few others I'm looking to sell since I am a major case-whore and bought too many and need to get rid of some that I don't use. All of them are in *NEW* condition and have never been used - only 'tried on for size'. All are in their original packaging.
BOTH ARE SOLD! - I STILL HAVE A SMOKE ROCKETFISH TPU CASE WHICH FITS THE AT&T HTC ONE X PERFECTLY!

I'm the same way. I have a bunch of cases that were only on my phone for a minute. I have at least 10 different cases and the only case I actually use is my Diztronic TPU case. I do the same thing with every phone I get.

Me too, I just got the Platinum series from best buy which is the same as the Seidio surface. It sucked. The texture was really rubbery and kind of waxy to the touch and the front protection came wayyy to far in covering too much of the screen.
I can tell you guys this much. NO ONE, NO ONE makes a better case than the current OEM Nokia Lumia people. I have owned a Lumia 800 and N9 and the cases they make for those phones which is built like the One X(I think HTC jacked Nokia design) is perfect. You can't even tell there is a case on there. Not very protective but a beautiful case if you are just trying to preserve the body of the phone.

I am SO glad I am not the only one. I do the same thing with EVERY phone I buy too. I have 12 cases right now for the One X. Well, once I send the Seidio out I'll be down to 11 but still... I don't know WHY I buy so many. LOL

It is because you are looking for the perfect one! The problem is sometimes you can only see a case online. Then when it gets to you there are many qualities that don't show through a computer screen like the feel of it, the size of the material, does it collect lint, are the cutouts in the right place, is the fit right. If something bothers you then off to the next case or two or TWELVE lol!

Well put. I couldn't agree more! Cases are SO misleading online. When I had my SGSII Skyrocket I did the EXACT same thing as well as my Galaxy Nexus, Infuse and Craptivate. LOL

I have a real bad ebay habit. Among all the crap I buy from there, I tend to order a bunch of phone accessories. I actually love ordering stuff from china because it's cheap as hell and takes forever to get here. By the time it arrives I had already forgotten about it and then it's a pleasant surprise. I literally have crap being delivered to me every day. I just got another case today. A cheap $2 silicone one that I will never use. I need to stop.

I really like my Platinum case. I'm fond of the texture (and so is HTC and Motorola, since my previous two phones have the same texture on their cases) and I don't think there is any issue with the screen whatsoever. There are 2mm of space between the visible portion of the screen and the case... I'm really not seeing the issue with that?

Is the barely there case for the international One X or the AT&T One X? You don't specify.

They're universal...I read that in one of the other threads on here.

Nexus 6P cases and covers list

Going to have my N6P shortly and plans to have a nice case to have it get protected,however,most are now focusing on iPhone and Galaxy Mobile covers and get few choice from SGP and Amazon, so here please share your case founding and have fun.

I ordered this generic TPU case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015GBA8AE?redirect=true&ref_=ya_st_dp_summary
It says it has shipped already.

I ordered the same but the clear option.

I ordered the MoKo case this afternoon, and it already shipped. Should be here Thursday. Just a placeholder until some nicer cases like Spigen come out.

Ultra Protective Case
I'll be waiting for the second batch of the device, because I want to see reviews, and to avoid any possible quality control issues that might initially exist. With this in mind, I obviously want to protect my investment, what with being a student on a budget. As such, I want to really protect my screen. In fact, just last week I shelled out an unplanned $120 to replace the screen on my S3 i9300, which fell face down in its ZeroLemon battery case. The screen wasn't cracked, but it was damaged in terms of the pixels. It started out with a purple spot, and got progressively worse overnight, to where it was totally black, and unusable. Does anyone know if a Ballistic, Trident, or UAG case will be made available for the 6P? Are there any other ideas as to the type of case I'm looking for, besides those I mentioned?
Thanks!

You might want to talk to them because that case is blocking the laser. http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...6p-cases-appear-to-block-the-laser-autofocus/

Good to know, I will inquire further with them. I thought it wasn't, but I didn't look that closely.

I sent an email to the manufacture today, I didn't yet get a response. One other buyer on Amazon (via a review) reported he got contacted back by the manufacture, and he pasted an email from them stating the photo is only a prototype. It makes sense as the case won't mail out for a full month. The month delay is OK with me because my phone won't be here before then.

The post shows a reply from the company saying those were pre release mock up images... They should update the images but as long as they don't really cover the LAF no biggie. Especially considering I got to order the case for $2!

I ended up getting this case, there has been confirmation that the LAF will not be blocked on the final version (source the manufacturer)

In the image attached to this post is the email I received back from the manufacture. As others have already posted their responses they got back also. Happy to know this case will work fully with the 6p and its laser focus.

I ordered a clear one that needs the opening trimmed (or sent back). I kind of like this one with red accents, looks like the opening is wide enough.

Posted this in another thread here earlier today, but figured I'd put it here since it pertains to the Verus case render:
Just FYI. It looks like Verus has updated the render on their Amazon listing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015GHQGM2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00.
So glad I picked this up for $2 a few days ago.

Got my clear case today: http://www.amazon.com/LK-Scratch-Re...443751243&sr=8-4&keywords=Nexus+6p+clear+case
Looks easy to make a template to cut an opening wide enough. It's crystal clear, may not effect IR anyway.
Edit: Manufactures just sent email. Said to toss what they shipped and will send replacement that doesn't block the laser focus in 2 weeks (before the 6P arrives).

I ordered the carbon, would be nice to see how it looks on the device.

My clear case from Amazon. Should be a simple exacto fix once I know how wide to cut. I'm going to love the 6P, only slightly wider than my N5, and who cares how long it is (especially with superior speakers on front!).

Case-mate bumper and case for Moto X pure

Got the bumper and case on Moto.com
The case feels more solid and comfortable in hands because of the curve and thickness. But as you can see the case can easily catch fingerprints on it. Actually the case looks a lot better in reality than in this picture, my bad.
The bumper is a little loose on the left and right side and feels less premium than the case due to the material. But I do love the color and the design to show your finish.
Ps, I got these two with only $15, that's another story.

Forgot one thing. The case can relative cause heating issue. I can feel a little warmer (not hot) with the case under the same usage.

Still a naked phone for me but thanks for sharing.

It's Naked Tough Case for Moto X Pure Edition, you can find it both on Moto and case-mate's website.
Well I ordered the X Pure but my delivery was about one week late, so the rep of moto gave me a coupon of $25 to purchase any accessories on the website. Later I decided to get a bumper, which costs 20. I thought that the coupon of 25 can easily cover the whole price of the bumper (I just thought they will cut the price with maximum 25), but later I found that the coupon didn't work and I was fully charged. I called moto and they told me that I have to make my total purchase over 25 to be eligible to use the coupon. It's kinda sophisticated, let me make some examples:
1, You bought an item under 25, even 24.95, not work. You pay full price.
2, You bought a single item over 25, let's say 29.95, you pay 4.95+shipping.
3, You bought two items with total over 25, maybe one 20 and one 15, you get the 20 free and pay 15+shipping.
See? That's really complex and They did NOT mention this kind of thing anywhere. While after discussion they decided to cancel my original order and send a free bumper, and I can still use that coupon to buy other staff, while I went with the case. That's the whole story, to be frankly, compared with the ending, I would rather they ship my phone on time at the beginning.

The heat is why I would rather use a bumper case. This device IMO gets too hot to have a case on it for my medium to heavy use. Any app that uses the GPU much gets this device hot and a case only helps keep the heat in.
As far as the bumper case, the tube trim seems like it could come off after some wear. Does it seem that way to you? It looks like a blue tube that has been glued to the bumper frame.

I got mine this morning. Really liking it so far. Don't feel like I'm going going to drop the phone any more. I got the grey/black and it goes well with my white front and dark ash wood back.

Hard to say. It looks perfectly flush so I'm thinking it's good for at least a year unless you're really rough on phones. My main worry is dust/grit collection and scuffing up the edges of the phone. I'll make sure to clean it out weekly.

Just wondering if you think the bumper alone can offer protection. The phone is huge and I'd like to avoid any case, but I don't know if that's wise.

Actually it's no complicated. They give a 25$ coupon essentially. It's not a 25$ giftcard where you use it and you have money left over it's a one time coupon to use and you have to use it all

mine is already lose around the buttons area. There is very noticeable slack and looseness on the right side of the phone now. It started tight and flush but not so much now and its only been a week and I've only taken it off once.

Based on the design this is what I expected, but a few months later than now. It would be better off with a harder frame and coated rubber glued around the frame.
I will use the plastic two parter for a while longer I guess. I was going to drill holes in the back, but can see the plastic crack. Need to think about it....
The bumper case it came with was too fragile and broke around the button area. Plastic is too thin. These hard cases though only seem good for scratch protection and keeping the heat in for GPU heavy app use. The latter is not a good thing.

I think it can protect in a certain level, but clearly it's not the best option compared with other cases.

Seems though it will protect better than the hard cases, since all hard cases do is transfer energy to the device itself when dropped. About the only good a hard case provides is scratch and scuff protection.

Haha I was thinking the exact same thing! I got the protection plan too... First phone with no camera bump - Woooohoooooo!
I've also only had a Galaxy s3, Note 3, Note 4, Note 5, and now Note 7.
Can't wait to get me some Google goodness! Some complain about the price point, where I say "finally a premium phone rather than 6 month old mid range specs phone .... Oh yeah that offered vanilla Android - which is awesome, but it's still a mid range phone..."

Interesting case, but how much is it? I can't see the price but if its 30 quid then I wouldn't get it!
Much rather pay that for their photo cases which i really like and thinking of getting it as an add on gift as buying the phone for the lazy half's birthday. However not sure he'll like it. Torn....

I'm worried that it won't be available until after the phone releases. I really want one, but would prefer to get a case for it immediately.

I want it immediately also, I do not want anything to happen to it... When I got my S6 Edge+ I put the Otterbox on and while at the store, before it was even activated it got bumped off the counter onto the floor.
I do not like the Otterbox I have on my S6E+ because is it a smooth hard plastic and will on its own slide off of counters and other smooth surfaces... I much prefer the silicon or rubberized cases that grip.

I love the photo cases, like $40, there is a store nearby that sells phone cases, and can "print" onto Otterbox cases, but for either I am not sure how it will hold up... the problem for me with this, is that he charges $30 to print, plus the $60 for the Otterbox, and then the Otterbox has design pattern and their name embossed into the case so the picture may not look as good as on the smooth silicone case in the Play Store. Oh, and they can only print on white, and Otterbox does not have white cases yet for the Pixel.

Still available to order the Clear case from Google in both sizes.

The phone has shipped but the case is still not available :-/
Google can still learn a few things from Apple. Official iPhone accessories are available and usually ship well before the phone ships.
Has anyone found anything similar outside of Google. I'm paranoid about dropping this thing particularly as I'm in a country where this is not available so will not be able to service in case of a drop.

Amazon is your best bet. I ordered my case a week ago and it should be here tomorrow. Two clear cases for 7$. Can't beat that.

Kind of pissed. I ordered three cases (around the 12th), one of the being the google clear case and they all said in stock. Then i either get emails from the companies saying sorry the case will ship out on the 28th or the arrival day is 28th-1st. Now i have a naked phone from the 20th- and i don't want to **** it up.

Spigen
I ordered the Spigen Rugged Armor from Amazon and it came a few days ago. The phone comes today. I am terrible about dropping things and recently broke my hand, so it is now worse. I prefer no case, but I drop things way too often.

Anyone know how thick the silicone is? I find it very hard to believe its 19mm which would make the case height on both sides 10.4mm which in theory makes the back a 6mm ish case. That would be otterbox big.
The other reason why I think 19mm is incorrect is that it's the same dimensions for the clear case which is noticeably thinner than the live or silicone cases.

Latercase vs. Pitaka?

I have used a Pitaka case in the past on my Note 10+, and the experience was pleasant. It was a little rough around the edges/cutouts but it wasn't so bad. So I decided to order one for my 8 Pro as well. Given the pandemic, shipping hasn't happened despite ordering 4-5 days ago, and I'm considering the Latercase as a result.
Pros of the Pitaka is that it has the ability to connect magnetically to car mounts and what not, but that's about it (vs the Latercase at least). But I'm about to order the Latercase to check it out.
Has anyone had experience with the Latercase? Are they shipping quicker? Any qc issues?
I appreciate any input!

I ended up ordering both too, I'm in the UK still waiting on latercase after 10 days of getting my shipment notice. I chalk it down the covid situation because last time I ordered my latercase for my pixel 4 XL it was super fast and smooth. They can't do much since it's been stuck with DHL and has said "processed at origin".
Pitaka case just arrived yesterday and I have it on the phone.
I'm very happy with the pitaka, it's exactly what I expected, I've had one before on my pixel 2. It's fit and finish is great and the cutouts are perfect. It has a nice lip over the camera too, so you don't need to worry about placing the phone down and damaging the camera.
But since we are talking minimalist cases here, unless you need the magnetic features... I'm going to guess the latercase is what I'll stick with... Since the pitaka is slightly thicker at 0.85 where as the latercase is only 0.6, probably due to not having any magnets inside.
In addition... If the latercase is how it is pictured on the website... It has more precise cutout holes (around the flash module and autofocus) none of the phones colour is shown... On the pitaka I can see the phones colour because the cutouts are slightly too big. You can also see the phones colour show on the front and sides, which doesn't bother me in any way... I wonder how the latercase compares.
I will post an update once my latercase arrives, hopefully soon! I pre-ordered it 6 weeks ago!

I ended up ordering both too, I'm in the UK still waiting on latercase after 10 days of getting my shipment notice. I chalk it down the covid situation because last time I ordered my latercase for my pixel 4 XL it was super fast and smooth. They can't do much since it's been stuck with DHL and has said "processed at origin".

Please add some pictures of both cases on your phone

How about Air Case from Pitaka?
I'm using the mag case from Pitaka, really enjoy it. I heard about the Latercase but never used it.
Talking about minimalist cases, there's another case from Pitaka that looks minimalist, and it has no magnetic feature. It's called the Air Case. It looks better than the mag case from the picture on the site.
Has anyone had experience with that?

I recieved my latercase around a week ago. Very happy with the product and the shipping (Im Norwegian)

both of these are not designed for drop protection so its a shame

My pre order still has not arrived in the Netherlands. Good to see you are happy with it, makes the waiting worth while...

I would love to use either of the cases but until they close up the buttons and cover those along with the top and bottom on the devices they won't be a fit for me.
I like minimalistic cases like these but want every side, button, etc covered. It's 100% possible as mnml has cases like that and so do other 3rd parties cases.
If and when they do that, then I'll buy. Just feedback. Not meaning to complain.

Using the fathers days' 15 % promotion makes it £34 from pitaka. Quite a margin vs amazon.

I got both cases... Just received the Pitaka today and have been using the Later case for 2 weeks now.. by looks, both are identical.. by feel I like the Pitaka more, you can feel the metirials in the case better than the Later case... also for some reason the camera ridge is a bit higher which will give the cameras slightly extra protection... Also the later case is thinner, I guess the Pitaka has the metal liners inside the case so it feel more sturdier...
Let me know if you like to see pics of both on and off the device...

Jesus, I don't know why I didn't think to check Amazon first.
I ordered off Pitaka's website at a small discount well over a week ago and have a feeling I'll be waiting a while for the case to get here. Amazon over here has the case at full price but it'll be delivered in 2 days, that's just silly. I have half a mind to buy it and return it when the original one comes.

For anyone wondering about the Later Case, mine just arrived today, I also have one on my S20 Ultra, highly recommend, the quality and feel is absolutely spot on.......?

Those who already received the Pitaka: does the wireless charging work as promised?

Following the thread and looking forward to someone with both cases do a side by side comparison

Never buy latercase, it's a rip off of Pitaka, they even sued them. Shameful........but that's MHO.

While I'm no big fan of Lew or Latercase, the fact that it's a rip off of a Pitaka case has been rather disbursed. Yes, they are quintessentially the same in terms of looks - but they aren't identical. There's a different feel to each one and a different build quality. It's not like Lew is literally ordering his case exactly where Pitaka gets theirs from and just brands it as a "Latercase". He uses a different carbon fiber weave, his cases have a different texture/feel, and they also don't possess the magnet that's built into the case.
I have no allegiances with either company, but the Pitaka just makes sense for me because their case has the magnet that allows me to just throw the phone on the magnetic mount on my car. I'm hoping the OnePlus Warp wireless charger works with the case is all, since that's how I primarily charge the phone.
At this point I'm frustrated with the wait time with the Pitaka case. I ordered it on June 5th and it probably won't be here for at least another 4-5 days. I could've just ordered it off Amazon and got it way sooner.
How's the shipping for the Latercase looking?

Well, without the phone the case does not make sense.

I hope you have better luck with your order than I am. I ordered on the 1st. Last update was on the 6th. Emailed 3 times and finally got a canned reply yesterday stating my order had been handed off to the carrier and it wasn't their problem.
