So when I first received the new Seidio Convert Case, I was pretty excited. I thought it couldnt get any better then the Active case Seidio makes but I was wrong, dead wrong. The Convert case is practically two cases in one. It’s a Seidio Surface, with an add on silicone inlay that goes over that, and then an exoskeleton that goes over that. O and if that isn’t enough, you’re getting a waist clip, which your phone goes into for easy access, and a Seidio Screen Guard. Providing the maximum in protection, this case makes the Otterbox weep in shame. I used the case as a the Surface case first for a day, and it is great, its light weight, easily removed and provides just the right amount of protection for the light weight and little size it adds to your phone.
The silicone overlay, covers all the ports to the phone, headphone jack, speakerphone, and volume rocker. The only access that is open to the elements is the screen and camera toggle switch. Even the back cameras are protected by a silicone cover, that covers the cameras while not using and while in use, can be clipped into the case, keeping it from moving around. Now I know most people have problems accessing the ports, while the are covered, but these port covers have little grips on the outside so you can easily pull them up from covering the ports themselves, this makes access extremely easy and quick. Now my biggest gripe with the Otterbox is that the covers for the ports always ripped or tore off within the first week, but with Seidios silicone there is no sign of ripping or tearing in sight, which is a major plus! This only confirms in my mind the quality of Seidio’s products.
The waist clip/holster is another bonus, once the phone is clipped into the holster, you can lock it in, so no matter what you cant unlock it, providing you with the comfort that the phone isn’t going to pop out, like so many of my phones have down before. This clip, on top of the surface, silicone and convert skeleton makes this case the most rugged and provides the most protection, the best of both worlds.
The screen guard on the phone, which no matter what, I always buy for my phones, is amazing as well. Clear and smooth as glass. Covers the whole screen including the four home buttons on the bottom, which the Sprint OEM guards don’t do. I really like how the screen guard covers the whole screen, because unlike most cases, the whole screen is open for use, none of it is covered from the case itself.
Since using this case, I have dropped my phone twice and unlike other people’s reviews on the Convert case for other phones, the exoskeleton is still in tack with no sign of abuse. My phone is completely scratch free, like I expected it to be.
However, after that, I used it as the Convert, and have been for the past week, and I will never use another case. Although, the only two down sides that I have with this case is that it adds a little bit of size and weight to the phone. But for the amount of protection you’re getting in return, it’s a fair and well worth trade. The second downside, which isn’t even that big, but, should be noted is that the silicone inlay does attract a little bit of lent, while in the pocket. besides that, I really see no downside to this case.
I would have to say after using this case; I would give it a 9.9/10. And would highly recommend it to anyone I know!

How much was this case ?
This case is retailing for $69.99 with the holster, without the holster it costs $49.99. For the protection your giving your phone its totally worth it.
Isn't this case similar to the platinum series case from bestbuy ?

Just an FYI, it is $49.99 for the case with a holster for the convert case, the $69.99 is if you want a holster for the smaller case too.

It's the same thing. I bought mine at BB but it didn't come with a screen protector which was fine with me since I'm a fan of InvisiShield. I wish that it did come with a holster for the surface case though.
Good review!
That case is worth every penny.
Best prices I've seen
This is for the convert combo like the review above:
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-BD4-HK...9LR0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311006177&sr=8-1
and this is for the convert combo value pack:
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-BD5-HK...9LPC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311006177&sr=8-1
What makes the value pack different is that it comes with an extra surface holster so if you wanted to, you can rock the covert/holster for max protection or roll with the surface/holster for less bulk. Depending on what protection or mood you are in for the day.
For a couple of bucks more I went with the value pack. Oh and this bundle also includes 1 screen protector.
btw, nice review.
I couldn't find much information on this case, so I went ahead and bought one. It was only $6.99 on Amazon so if I hated it I wouldn't be out much money. Please excuse the quality of the pictures. They were taken with my Note 3....
Here's a link to the case on Amazon if you want one:
http://www.amazon.com/Google-Nexus-...1442870153&sr=8-3&keywords=GMYLE+nexus+6+case
PLEASE NOTE:
I am NOT affiliated with GMYLE at all!!! I'm just trying to post some useful info for my fellow Nexus 6 owners that may be on the fence about this case.
First impressions:
The packaging was pretty uninspiring. It was in a cheap plastic bag with some GMYLE branding. Upon removal it felt very cheap and low quality, but what do you expect for $7? The piece that holds the phone felt pretty thin and flimsy and I was worried about cracking it when inserting my phone. After getting my phone in safely, I realized how much bulk this added to the phone. It feels twice as big and requires two hands to use safely. The cutouts in the case lined up properly for the buttons, headphone jack, microphone, USB port, etc.
Looks:
This case looks classy as hell. The world map design looks a lot cooler and than the plain brown design in my opinion.
Features:
The ID, credit card, and money slots are very handy, but after transferring the contents of my wallet (ID, three cards, and a five dollar bill) the case was about twice as thick as before and barely fit in my pocket. I watch a lot of movies on my phone so the stand feature is very handy.
Phone protection:
This case feels like it'll protect my phone from short drops onto carpet or the rubber floor at the gym. For drops onto concrete, hardwood, or tile I don't think it'l perform as well as my Ringke Max and may result in a cracked screen or dents/scratches.
Complaints:
There was a glue like substance on the "spine" of the case that wouldn't come off. Rubbing on it just discolored the fake leather and didn't phase the glue at all. The plastic bit that holds my phone feels very thin and like it will break if I try to remove my phone. If I use the flash while taking a picture it "bounces" off of the cutout in the case and causes a blur around the edges of the picture.
Conclusion:
This is a VERY nice wallet case for the money. It even comes with a one year warranty! I've only had it for a few days, but I like it a lot so far. I'll update this thread when/if this case falls apart. If you have any questions post them and I'll do my best to answer them.
Pictures:
The % of people that gave it a 3 or less is 43%. Not exactly confidence inspiring.
For those with $45 to spend on a wallet case, here's the real deal: http://www.ebay.com/itm/genuine-rea...ury-premium-/381110007692?hash=item58bbed378c

This is by no means a long term or high quality case, so the low ratings are understandable. I bought it just because the world map design looks boss and the stand feature is handy for watching movies.
To be honest I'm thinking about ditching this case. The flap is annoying, it barely fits in my pocket, and I have to remove my phone from the case if I want to take a picture with the flash.
The map pattern looks good for the low price, is it heavy? I don't want to add too much weight to the phone

I have no idea of the exact weight, but it's definitely not light. It adds a noticeable amount of weight to the phone.
I got this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00STQD9PU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00
While I like the idea of having everything in one piece, it does add a significant amount of heft and weight to it, especially since it's a bi-fold wallet. I still use it occasionally.
I had the GMYLE case for a few weeks (plain brown, before worldmap was released), and I loved it. Combining the phone with wallet was pretty awesome. My main gripe with the case was that over time, small parts of the phone case part (plastic) would chip off, eventually to the point where the case would no longer hold my phone. Before this, I had the Spigen wallet case, which wasn't bad, just the magnet strap thing was getting a lot of wear (always hitting my pocket on the way in).
Now I am using the Vena that jbr05ki posted. I like it a lot. The magnet seems more durable than the Spigen one, and the tri-fold design is nice to have. Overall, I would prefer the GMYLE due to the strapless design, if only the phone case part of it was made of TPU.
*EDIT* Also, forgot to mention that I have had two glass screen protectors, and using the wallet cases seemed to crack both of them...not sure why though, since I put the phone in my front pocket and not my back...

I wanted a REALLY slim wallet case, so I went for the Nilkin sparkle black on Amazon. At $15 USD, it was cheaper than the $40 leather alternative that caught my eye...

Hi
I bought a cheap one from Amazon and it's fine except that it's hard plastic and way too slippery. I prefer a normal case and not a wallet case. I bring it to the gym and would like some level of protection if I drop it. I have a screen protector on it currently (not tempered glass). Any recommendations?
You don't like the wallet type, but this case works with full coverage screen protectors and also will protect both edges in case of a drop. Magnet holds it closed and it has a slight horizontal overlap on the exposed edge, which would take the impact. Plus this case would outlive the phone. Good luck with your search!
https://www.amazon.com/Leather-Prem...01DA5RU2W/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Since you have already bought one, you should mention which one was it exactly. This way it will avoid others recommending the same.
I would suggest this one
https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Galaxy-Wallet-Design-Samsung/dp/B01AUR1HF4
Spiegen cases are just TOP although I would never use this one to be so bulky.
BTW if you search Google with the key words "case with credit card holder samsung galaxy s7" you will get lots of results
Hey guys!
So my orzly stuff is starting to arrive in bulk now, ordered a lot of their cases while they were on presale as the other companies didn't have anything up yet!
My latest case to arrive from them is the wallet case. I had this case for my OP3 last year, and used it for about a week before I decided it wasn't for me. Flip cases just weren't really my thing, besides their use as a stand! I decided to get this one again and see if they changed anything!
First things first, the case feels like real leather, but it also feels like faux leather, but either way it still feels nice which is the main thing. I got the black colour of the wallet case. On the front on the case, there is the magnetic strap, which is very strong so you shouldn't worry about the case opening accidently The only other thing at the front is in the bottom right of the case, which is the 'Orzly' branding, which isn't too intrusive at all!
Next, around the back, all you can see if a hole for the camera. The camera is protected by the case and the camera will not touch any surfaces if you have the case on
Inside, on the left, is the wallet section. There is slots for cards and a pocket for money aswell, which is useful for some people, and not useful for others. On the right hand side is where the phone would sit. It is a different design then last years case. Last year, the phone used to kind of clip in to the case which was very awkward. This year, it is more like an actual flexicase inside of the wallet case, which is a much better design, and makes the phone a lot easier to take in and out of the wallet case!
The case also turns into a stand, which is one of the main reasons why I would use it. It is very useful if you want to watch videos on your phone, or need to show somebody something. Just flip the case into a triangle at the back and boom, you have a stand!
Overall, I prefer the case then last years walelt case. I still do not believe wallet cases are for me, as I like having quick access to my phone, but I do love the fact that it protects your phones screen without the need of a screen protector, and it can become a stand! I've attached some pictures of the case in the imgur link below, and if you are interested in buying the case follow this link!

Hey everyone,
Since I typically use a flip case (a regular case with a protective cover for the screen that flips open) with all the phones I've owned, I thought I'd open a thread to start a discussion about people's experiences and recommendations with flip cases for the 6T.
Share something and help someone with what product to use!

I'm currently using this one:
Foluu Compatible OnePlus 6T Case,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K2S5DFC?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
Pros:
+ magnetic edge on flip cover afixes the flip cover to the back, neatly preventing flapping
+ the sides of the phone are completely covered by a transparent bumper, with cutouts only for usb, alert slider, and speakers
+ relatively screen protector friendly
Cons:
- not a smart cover
- back cover is not a single piece with the sides, adding to bulk
Again, the pro/con list reflects my personal preferences and of course, may not apply at all to you.
Orzly Wallet Flip Case looks decent enough. I am currently using the oneplus 6t flip case with card slot, and its okay. Doesnt flap much, but it does not compare to my last otterbox strada case for the iphone 8 plus. Still looking for something similar.
I've also purchased some ringke 3m card slots, both the plastic and the nylon to add to the tpu cover that was included with the phone. Although not a flipcase, the downside with not having a solid magnet or full edge protection gives higher probability of the phone landing face down when dropped.

I second the motion -- the Otterbox Strada on my Samsung S7 Edge is the gold standard for me. Most expensive case I've bought but has lasted many multiples longer than any other case. It's still a tank and still in use nearly three years later.
Closest case for OnePlus to that standard was the Tech21 flip case for my 6. Don't think they make it for the 6T though.
I'm using the flip case that I got from OnePlus when it's working fine.I've had better and I've had worse but pretty good I'm happy. No issues,, thinking about getting a OtterBox when they come out just for safety. But they're so big and bulky and ugly.,,,,,,,, I guess we'll see
I like cases.
My wife thinks that I have a fetish for phone cases.
I change them when I go out depending on what I feel like.
Here are the flip cases that I have purchased so far;
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/For-OnePlus...var=472229251615&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
The traditional brown leather flip case.
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/For-OnePlus...var=591631248320&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
Dr. Who TARDIS because....every phone needs to be inside a Tardis...
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/For-OnePlus...var=572979395291&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
Blue leather scroll work for when I'm feeling like Jazz.
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/PIN-1-Art-C...var=472327549790&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
Old School fun right here... I have purchased so many freaking cassettes over the years.. ugh. Why not put my phone in one...
I chose the white and green tape.
https://ca.mobilefun.com/olixar-xtome-leather-style-oneplus-6t-book-case-brown-70015
Old brown leather bound book.
I think that this book one will be my favorite flip case.
Only the Cassette tape case has come in so far.
It's a bit larger then a real cassette tape and it's a big large for the phone.
Then I've purchased another half dozen or so hard cover cases/non flip.

Damn, your wife's probably right..!
But it could be worse: you could have a phone fetish instead of a phone case fetish, and that would be much more expensive.
The flip cases that I have ordered so far have come in.
Also, two of the hard cases have arrived as well. (As an aside, I don't like any of those yet. We will see if the rest of the hard cases are any better)
I like the oneplus oem flip case because it is the only one that has a magnetic feature that turns the screen on and off.
That is nice.
But I find it too small and it doesn't offer much protection.
And it only has one debit card slot.
Not useful as a wallet.
The oneplus, cassette tape and book flip cases do not have a magnetic clasp to keep them closed.
I kind of like that feature.
It gives me a fidget to play with.
And it makes it more noticeable if someone opens the case to take my debit card? Dunno.
Lol
Taking a look at the back side of these cases, some of them are not like the others.
Some of the cutouts look off.
I haven't checked them to see if it affects function or not.
Honestly I don't use the camera much anyways.
If anyone has any questions about these cases, let me know and I will do my best to answer them.
If anyone has a suggestion of another flip case for me to try out, then I am all ears!
P.S. And yes. The book is my favorite case so far. Followed by the Tardis.
Hi, I am looking for the same, but it is so hard... I know exactly what I want but all of the good looking cases are plastic inside and all the silicone ones are not-so-good looking.
Anyone found so far a sleek and elegand flip case with silicone inside?
