A couple of days ago a company by the name of Oaxis started a kick starter for a product called InkCase. It's a case for your phone that adds on an E-ink screen on the front so that you can save battery life and have access to an easily visible screen in direct sunlight. The screen is really cool and I think it would be perfect for the massive 2k screen on the LG G3.
Here's a link to the kickstarter:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/378232716/inkcase-plus-e-ink-screen-for-android-phone
To get Oaxis to make a case for the phone it needs to get 500 votes on this poll:

LOL is this a joke?
Haha a black and white screen case so I don't I have to use my quad HD screen on a phone that I paid 600 bucks for.

I see all these battery saving tips turn off this lower that I'd rather use my phone.

It's not worth the added bulk. E ink is nice, however, why would I use that when I have a 2K display, and replaceable battery? I can see this being useful for the pitiful iPhone and it's weak battery but not for this phone.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with everyone. My G3 battery life is still great after 3 years of owning 2 of them. This product seems like it targets too small of a niche.

Some software problems, drops with broken screens. Was planning on getting the DNA on my upgrade in a couple months. My TB will be antique, 2 years old in April and I have a zag screen cover Sence day one and only a silicone cover with the back cut out for extended battery. Have dropped it more times than I can remember. No dents, chips or broken screen. So the DNA is really that fragile? Some problems I expected hopefully less than TB, but broken screens that easy with gorilla glass is starting to scare me. Should I really be concerned about this or is the DNAs performance that good to overlook the easy screen breaks. Some advice please. Thanks.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
The screen doesn't break easily, but its glass. Its harder to break than the tb. But A lot of people run their DNA with no case, and if you drop it and the glass hits something solid there's a good chancecof it breaking.

I don't know how many DNA's have been sold, but my guess is quite a few. You saw literally a few post about people who DROPPED their phone most likely without any kind of case, and that's enough you persuade you? This is one of, if not the best phone money can buy right now, you wont regret buying it.
Dropped 20+ times with screen protector and stepped on minor scratches only .. now if u face palm a phone from getting out the car etc most will take a ding or even crack. The DNA to me was togher than I thought it would screen included ..

Pretty much this.
This is a great phone, arguably the best device on the market right now. Get a protector, that way you can drop your device at leisure.
Just wait a few months until the new line of phones come out... This is the best phone out now..

I would guess the DNA is only marginally more vulnerable than the TB. The glass on the DNA covers all the front and a little of the sides. That means if you drop it on the side it could crack, unlike the TB.
If you drop both flat on the glass screen then probably both shatter equally.
They need to come out with those flexible screens soon!

My DNA has lived through:
1. Being dropped flat on the screen from a standing height
2. Sitting in the passenger seat with no cover/holder/case during a car crash that totaled my car
3. Being dropped in the parking lot from me forgetting it was in my lap when I got out of the car
The first 2 had literally no effect on it; the 3rd case a scratch on the side.. but the screen is still perfectly fine. So.. call me lucky, but I'm pretty impressed with the DNA's durability.
Exactly why I went with the DNA. This phone has display technology that other companies are scrambling to replicate with their respective display manufacturers. Soon there will be tons of apps and game that will require 1080p resolution to run properly.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. After having a TB I don't believe newer HTC products could handle the bad rap and still leave HTC in the competition. I am impressed with all the comments on the 1080 screen and to run JB out of the box has to be worth it, as my Moto Zoom wifi has been running JB for a while, and I love it. I'm glad to know that I don't have to bubble wrap it now. I'm not crazy about full cover cases but will definitely find something to protect the edges of the glass. I'm sure there may be something out soon that will help. Everyone seems impressed with how it runs, looks and fits to hold. PS I played with the Samsung s3 in the Verizon store felt like a cheap plastic toy that would break if held to tight. Lol wasn't impressed left with my clunky heavy extended battery TB. Will be spoiled to not have a phone with an extended battery along with carrying the charger to. Lol. Thanks again for the good feedback. Will be hard to wait for my tax refund

Yes. Yes it is.
Only dropped it twice from knee height. But it was in an OB case due to the type of job I have... And the tendency of dropping my phone often.
Side note (somewhat off topic) - dropped my DX quite literally over 100 times with no screen protector or case, only came out with little knicks all around the metal and no screen dmg. Amazing

For everyone who missed out on the original 80% off, or any of you that want to order more now that you are happy with their quality, XtremeGaurd is now offering 85% off + free shipping. I dont know when this ends, so order fast.
IMO, the XtremeGuard SP are nicer than the Zagg as far as feel goes. I have yet to damage my XtremeGuard SP to evaluate durability. However, for <$1, you cant beat it.

good looking out fellas. u cant buy dirt for a buck
That's pretty awesome. Stocked up a bit because it drives me crazy when screen protector gets worn around the edges with a case (which I have yet to find for the Note 3....)
$30 + worth of goods for $5...can't beat it.
That's great. $5 and I got some protectors for my Note 3, plus a couple for my wife's GS3.
Worth a shot to see how they are!
Yeah I definitely like these SP's better than an SP I have every used. I've put one on my pebble, my note 2 when I had it, my note 3 now, and my wife's S4 and it has been nothing but good quality. And after the first day after it settles, it's silk smooth and doesn't interfere with the Spen.

What's up guys, some people have been asking for Otterbox reviews so I thought I'd put up a couple pictures of my Commuter I got last week. It's the best case I've had for my Note so far and with the tempered screen protector the protection can't be beat in my opinion. The S-pen cutout is great and makes for easy removal. All ports are accounted for including IR and all microphones. The fit in my opinion is great and doesn't add much bulk for the level of protection you get.
I am very happy with my purchase but if I had to list some cons, I'd say:
- weird back texture makes hand sweaty. Really weird
- not the most stylish case out there
- expensive ~44.99
Thanks for reading I look forward to your feedback and questions

Yup, I see you're using XDA Premium as well. *This is off-topic to your thread, so I'll go ahead and apologize for that before I even begin.* For some reason it only allows one pic per post....and that's WHEN it's letting you post pics at all! When trying to attach pics, I constantly get the error that I'm not logged in, or that I don't have permission. It's VERY frustrating! Both XDA Premium, and XDA Premium HD have been doing this for at least 3-4 months now. I bought both a while back, so I've tried with both apps on multiple devices(phones and tablets). I really wish the devs would fix this issue. I've already reported it to them multiple times, but I think more people need to complain to get the devs to look in to it or actually do anything about it.
SwiftKey'ed from my White Sprint Note 3 via XDA Premium
I've just received an Otterbox Commuter and I like it a lot. One question though - are the flaps for the charging and headphone ports supposed to sit slightly proud of the case? It makes sense I suppose, otherwise they'd be rather difficult to open but it does look a bit odd.

Hello everyone. Been a Samsung Galaxy user since the S2 then Note and currently the Note II. Had my eyeballs set on Z Ultra for months. Just to be sure I would like to ask your opinion whether should I get out of my comfort zone and switch to this device?

I'm an ex-Note user too, and it's not in the same league. What things are you curious about?
Sent from my C6806_GPe using Tapatalk
[/COLOR][/COLOR]I came from the note... Much prefer this experience. Samsung annoyed me, touchwizz was god damn awful, they're updates sucked and battery lifetime was shocking. Cheap phones basically.
Love sony's efforts on the rom, nice and minimalistic. Beautiful hardware, most bugs have been ironed out by now, the worst for me was phantom clicks but haven't had any since 532.
Rooting and flashing processes are a little different to Samsung, takes a bit of getting used to. Very few actual bricks though compared to Samsung. Sony stock is good enough that you don't HAVE to root like you did with Samsung.
You will miss 3g video call from dialler, snote apps. There are plenty of alternatives though so no real loss. Also if you're a stylus user you'll need to get one separately, no biggie. Speaker on ZU is awful, so is the camera.
Media experience is the bomb on this, bar none I've come across. It's got apt-X bluetooth which they don't really advertise. Battery life is 2 days with stamina activated and moderate use.
And the screen? I'm not gonna say anything, it is as remarkable as photos make it out to be. Ooooo.
Plus it's a lot cheaper now, good time to get one.
Take the leap, you won't go back so Samsung.

I have pretty relaxed but smart trousers for work, only one pair which are skinnies have a slight issue with phone in pocket. All others and all my normal levi's and gap regular fit jeans have no issue at all, like I mean none. It's totally like a normal phone until you see it again and are reminded of its monstrous presence.

Hi again... Got my XZU 2 days ago. Loving it. I'm using flipcase and have no problem carry it around in my trousers. I move alot bcause i work as a chef. Feels good though i constantly walk around and bend alot. Feels lighter than my previous Note 2 too despite the size.

And it's good to use a flipcase.
I got a flipcase too since day one, but I didn't use it because I love the slim design of the ZU.
During the last 2 month it smashed on the floor for 3 times.
The backside is totally damaged now.
And now I'm using the flipcase......

1 Simplism black
1 Simplism clear
1 MetalSlim clear
The Simplism are soft while the metal slim is the hard plastic. Using the simpliam now and loving the fit and the quality. Had the sont flip case when I biught the phone but was immediately unsatisfied because of how much weight and thickness it added.
Chexk out the simplism if u looking for the thin case that just to protect scratches and min drops.
Btw, above mentioned all came with screen protectors
Loving it

Can you post some pictures of your device in the cases? I'm especially interested in the Simplism Clear, because manufacturers often show rendered 3D models or digitally enhanced shots to show how transparent these things are when actually they are more milky and matte.

i wouldn't say it's 100% clear, on some close up photos you can see that its actually got 'micro' dots. don't know what is the purpose for that though. i personally do think that even with the dots, it's clarity is transparent enough for me
nothing yet to complain about this case
**by then way, this cases do have the cut-out for the magnetic port which was also one of my main reasons for buying as i believe i'm like many users, i use the dock to charge when at home
