sweet very nice
coupon "guard" takes 10% off. site charges tax so all it does is offset the tax for me, but hey, better than nothing i guess
Looks nice!
How does the armor feel? Looks like it is textured. Does it have a rubbery or tacky feel too?
Does it work with the car mount from sprint?

Could you please post a link where you got your case i would like to pick one up. also this might be a silly question but how did you apply this case? looks kinda like a strong sticker.
1) I order it with 10% off and no tax ,, I live in California
2) It has the textured feel to it. It feels a little slipper... but have a grip to it..
3) I have an old universal car mount with adjustable sides vertical/horizontal ... it fits fine,
I really love the way it looks and feel.
The kit comes with the Carbon Fiber Armor for back and sides, and the screen guard. For $17.99 after the 10% off is not bad for a complete kit, They are available in RED, WHITE or BLACK.

Since the Op isnt posting it
All it is is 3m carbon fiber or di-noc fabric/vinyl. Used in the auto industry for non factory mode, usually interiors, one side is sticky. Many people cover their interiors or roofs in it. Comes in many colors, and honestly, you are paying mostly for the cuts, and not the fabric itself.
Really? Because this is what the product description says.

Not trying to be a **** here but I work with cf products on ocasion and its easily spotted as fake to me

What are we expecting real CF? Anyway, I have the Skinomi CF kit (3M I believe) on my Gtablet and they are really nice, has kind of a rubbery/friction feel to it. Might get this for my 3D but I already have a silicone case on it, that and I have already dropped it and that silicon case did me good. So I might just stick with that.
This stuff makes the EVO 3d look pretty ugly.

agreed. it doesnt even line up good or cover the whole outside. there are black gaps everywhere, like the volume rocker for one. the whole back and sides of the 3Ds battery cover is one piece. could have done a little better job IMO.
looks really slick. Love the carbon fiber weave.
That would offer absolutely zero protection

On the site it says it's not actual carbon fiber, but PVC vinyl based, so I dunno how well it will protect

Hey All. Got my Amaze yesterday and its already up and running on the Energy ROM with faux kernal; thanks to those respective devs. With the flashing out of the way for now, time to look into some cases. As everyone is aware, amaze is not the lightest or thinnest phone, so a case with minimal weight would be desireable. I ran into a matte snap on case from ebay, wanted to know if anyone here has any feedback on these. I am not going after the price (I am open to spend whatever for the ideal case), but more so on the "thin" part. Sadly, I can't post the url due to my noob status, but its easily searchable under "Matte BLACK Hard Snap On Thin Back Case Cover For HTC T-Mobile Amaze 4G".
Looking forward to being part of the Amaze community!
I have a two piece black rubberized case on my one amaze, and a one piece hard case on the other one. Both are light, and fit pretty good. the two piece fits tighter, and has cutouts for all the mic holes on the back cover etc. and they all line up. its just a cheap ebay case. And both are thin. Any cheapie case you get on ebay will be light, and the best part is after a couple months just pay $3-5 and get a new one.
The one piece doesen't cover the top and bottom of the phone, just the sides, so it won't protect as well as the two piece, and if I ever have to pop the two piece apart to get at the back cover, it comes apart easy.
I'd get a cheap two piece, try it out. if you need more protection, then upgrade, but i'd start at ebay.
Be careful with some of the cheap ebay snap-on cases. I got one for a previous phone that was front and back pieces that snapped together. It was thin and looked OK but it would pop open when dropped and the phone would come out and land unprotected. It was ok for scratch protection and keeping the screen off the table but provided very little to zero drop protection.
Thanks for the info. Yeah I have to consider the drop protection. When I was searching youtube for cases, the videos were showing cases which was huge. Yes it protects the phone, but it’s very uncomfortable to carry around. Might have to try some on from the local mall kiosk if anything.
I just went with a cheap ebay case from eforcecity and I'm satisfied. I think I paid $6 shipped and it came with a screen protector.
I got one from ebay that is really good, it comes with a holster. Trust me, thiz isnt like the ones that are cheap made and snaps when minimal force aplied to it. This is high quality. Not bulky either.

I too have this case, it works great. I have not noticed any difference in my network connection signal strength which was a concern and has provided good protection for the phone in its couple of drops. I work in a hydraulics shop with hardened concrete floors and it has held up well. As a side note the case also holds up well when exposed to mineral and petroleum based hydraulic fluids.

Anyone know what this case is called? I'm currently using Kraken, which I love. But this looks equally as sexy.

I'm thinking about using full body skins instead of a case. Is anyone else protecting the phone this way? How is it working for you?
Sent from my EVO using XDA
I would like to know as well. I did that on original EVO, and it worked well. I can't believe how many times I dropped the EVO on hard surfaces and had it be totally fine. The LTE feels more delicate. But I really don't want to add any additional size, I already wish it was about an inch shorter.
I'm using the full body Zagg. But the HD screen protector. The screen protector is about to be replaced with a steinheil.
I also ordered a skinomi, but zagg ended up being the first available. So I should have the skinomi as well in another day or two and I can compare the two. Generally speaking the skinomi is less rubbery, and leaves less finger prints then the zagg.
All in all, I like skins as they dont detract from the look of the device, and they don't add bulk. I don't typically drop my phones so I don't worry about that.
The only downside to the skin would be the smudges and fingerprints. Instead of making the glossy plastic part matte like some people would like to do, the whole back becomes glossy. but knowing the skin can be removed a year later and it will look brand new is totally worth it.

I purchased the skinomi full body as well and planned to use that with the zagg hd screen protector. My zagg has some indentations /scratches that have not self- healed after two days. I wonder if the skinomi will be better and does the hd really matter? I also considered a carbon fiber skin, but I don't want to change the look of the phone, and but yes, fingerprints...

I got the Skinomi brushed steel full skin. When it comes in and I get it on I will post some pics. This phone is huge and I dont want an even bigger case for it.
I am using the XO Skin. It works great. The phone feels so slim with it.
It will not provide much drop protection though.

I just ordered a matte-finish black skin from decalrus.com, waiting to see how that works out. (I used the zagg black leatherskin on my old Evo, this one couldn't really carry that off, even if it was available.)

I don't know about this specific device, but i have used one for my other device. I bought it because I want to keep the sleek look of the phone. It protects from scratches, but it doesn't protect much from being broken.
Hi guys,
one thing that annoys me is the rounded back of the nexus. When you lay it on the table it turns left and right when scrolling onehandedly....this is really nerveracking.
At the moment I use one of them TPU cases but this has the same rounding and thus the same turning.
Are there any (non-flip) covers that tackle this?
Cheers
check out the ringke fusion case. I love it and solved that issue for me
look at diztronic case, is not totally flat but helps to make N6 more stable
http://www.amazon.it/Diztronic-Matt...=1449071789&sr=8-1&keywords=diztronic+nexus+6
Cheers guys...but both cases are rounded too, how does it solve it?
The Poetic Revolution has a flat back. It has some pegs on the inside back wall that are holding the phone in place. Great case, except for the flat buttons but you can get used to those.
I had this one...
http://www.amazon.com/Evocel®-Prote...merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1450211642&sr=1-31
Makes the phone flat, but pretty bulky, and no longer feels like a luxury item in this case.
Hi guys, thanks again for all those tips....
Got myself this one now :
Nillkin Slim Armor Bumper Rahmen-Schutzhülle, stoßfest, für Google Nexus, 6 https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00T2R9V7A/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_hnACwb693RZ0W
It is perfect, no rocking and turning, the phone lies firmly on those two bars running from the backsides' top to bottom.
Only downside is that you now can see the white back case which I bought accidently but kept.

The Ringke FUSION has a ring around the nexus logo that effectively stabilizes the phone. It is not perfectly stable, but ends up being fine for light usage of the phone when it's laying on a table. See this picture (found via google image search) for a better view of how it works.

Is that frame around the Nexus-Word indented? If so then yes, that should indeed work as well.
I'm sure someone could 3D print a case with enough incentive. I would pay decent money for a case that flattens the phone so I wouldn't have to give up my airdock

Indeed. If it had a matte soft touch feel (like the Nexus5), and if it filled in the curves without adding much height to the hump on the back, that'd be great. It'd be thin in the middle, thicker on the sides of the back where the curve goes up.
The problem with the Nillkin Slim Armor Bumper is that it does add some height above the back area. If it had half the height off the back, it'd still be a fine case. Sometimes I'm tempted to find a belt sander and smooth it down a bit on my own.
Evocel and Ranz on amazon are both flat backs
That Ranz case is the worst piece of crap I ever bought. I threw it away immediately after I got it.

So I stumbled upon this case on Amazon when searching for either a nice leather or faux leather case for my S7, and I was sick of the only ones available being those portfolio cases that cover the front. All I wanted was a case that was either a tpu style, or one that reminds me of the Incipio Feather or Spigen Slim Fit where the phone just pops in but the tops/bottoms are exposed....well I found this Tscase brand case and this thing is honestly awesome.
http://www.amazon.com/TSCASE-Genuin...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
The leather feel on the back is really soft and smooth, and I chose the regular brown one instead of the netted, although the netted looks cool too.

the nice thing about this case is that it comes up over the corners, so the corners aren't so exposed. the top and bottom are exposed, yeah, but as you can see in the pics the corners are fine.
there's also a small lip around the screen so placing it screen down isn't an issue. plus, it pretty much hugs the sides, so i'm sure putting a screen protector that goes edge to edge wouldn't be an issue with this case.
overall, i'm so glad i found a cool leather case for this thing, and for a fraction of the cost of what the official samsung one is going to cost! i recommend this case if you like a thin, leather, good looking case!

Look nice... what screen protector are you using

the 10 dollar verizon branded ones. they're meh. don't mind the top corner by the ear piece lol...when i put it into gear VR one day it ripped it up and although i'm OCD and it bothers me, i'm way too lazy to put another one on.
plus within a week of having it on, i got a huge gash, so these screen protectors scratch easily. and obviously the sides have that effect because the glass curves.
overall, i only got them bc i needed them day one.
Can't find this in Amazon Canada? Other than Amazon US/UK, anyone know where I can pick one up?
hmm not sure. maybe they just aren't setup to ship in canada? it's a really nice case, though.
I bought the same case and I absolutely love it. I'm interested to see how well it holds up and how it weathers.

it's a great case. i just got the spigen crystal screen protector that wraps around the edges of the phone, and it fits perfectly with this case.
Yesterday, I threw caution and fiscal sense to the wind and invested £85 in the Samsung leather case (in black) for my Fold. I have tried the aramid case that came in the box but found it shows too many prints and smudges as well as not protecting the camera hum glass when laid back down. I also tried the Spigen thin fit case which is fine but I was concerned that the device was maybe not shutting properly when folded due to the fact that the case edges sit slightly proud of the main screen when open, hence my decision to buy the leather case.
The leather case is very light, very slim, very comfortable to hold and looks great, the back part is just thick enough to keep the camera glass away from the surface you lie it on and all the various cut outs for buttons, cameras and ports are perfectly place and sized.
Is it worth £85? Probably not but then again, having already coughed up an insane amount of cash for the device in the first place, why not go the whole hog and get the case as well.
If your wallet will run to it - recommended.
I got the original leather cover, too and am very happy with it. The free case is not good. It is so thin and hardly provides any protection.

Actually it's not the same sticky tape. It is more of a suction layer to stick to the glass. Which is much better as it doesn't get stuck to dust and lint that's in your pocket compared to the free case.
Ah cool I'll prob get one I just use the clearshield thing I got on front and back and use the free case with phone
Got the original case today does look and feels nice but still way over priced even though i paid £79.99 which is currently the cheapest anywhere some places selling for £120 inc samsung
That "adhesive" is cool because it is reusable. If it gets dirty just run it under some water and let it air dry. You can wipe down the leather side but let the sticky side air dry and its like BRAND NEW in just a couple minutes!
OP how are you getting on with your fold and the leather case?
Might be coming back into the fold ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ?with the fold2.
Have any of you guys/gals had any experience with more noreve leather cases?
