#WDGG3 - Good video. I actually have the Black version and concur that this is a great case that add minimal bulk. Was a little tight at first and caused my Glass to start to lift on one side, but after removing and replacing in carefully it seems to have corrected that. Now I can take off and on with ease as it appears to have stretched enough to accommodate the glass screen protector. This is actually my day to day case. Love the blue, may have to pick that up, unless I win it

I ordered a Smoke one on Sunday and it arrived today. It is my first case ever for a phone so I can't comment too much. It seems to fit the well and has a pleasant touch feeling. It is a little more glossy than I expected. There is a slight lip around the front that should protect the screen a little from drops. All of the buttons, ports, microphones, and speaker have cutouts as described so it doesn't impede with the phone usage.

Does it look like the attached? The images on the site are different from the Sprint and AT&T versions, though when I called Cruzerlite, they said that the cases for AT&T are the translucent material as well. Image is of the Sprint version. I'll buy one anyway, as I am in meetings a lot and would like visibility of the notification light - hoping that I might actually catch the 1 in 30 second light bleep. Thx!

Yes basically. The hole around the camera and flash is smaller on the actual case, fitting it properly. The other big difference is that the rubber of the android guy is less translucent than the picture shows. You can't see the reflective finish through the android. You can however, see the AT&T logo through it.. You can see the finish through the non-android rubber. The cutouts for the buttons and ports are larger on the actual case. The buttons are recessed behind the case, not sticking out like in the picture. They still are easy to press but it will prevent accidental pushes in your pocket. Also its hard to see in that photo, but the left and right sides are ribbed and colored like the android.
I think that picture is a photoshop.

I appreciate the feedback and detail, Patsfan (go Pats - lived up there '76-'80)! The Diztronic case I have is great, though thought I'd pick up one of these to try out and have for a backup. The images for the AT&T version all look to be solid colors without any translucency. The person on the phone said they were, but she wasn't convincing.
Yes go Pats! I will try to take a picture but the only other camera I have is a nexus one. I also have a Diztronic case on order from Amazon.. Just waiting for it to ship.
Use redemption code "XDA" for a discount / Total with shipping: $14.10 as long as they are still on sale for $12.90.

got my Diztronic saturday, its one of the nicest cases I've ever had, for any phone including my old iPhones.
I got the clear cruzerlite to try, after having gone caseless for a while and also trying one of the inexpensive HR wireless hard cases for a few weeks. I like it.
I want to add as little bulk as possible so I like the size of the cruzerlite. Especially compared to the HR wireless's huge lip around the front. I don't use a screen protector but the front lip wraps around so little that I don't think it would interfere with one. The texture of the android guy and the sides is nice.
I originally wrote that the fit wasn't great. It seemed to be offset to one side. I have since pulled the case of and put it back on starting with the other side, and it is nearly perfect now. The only real downside about the appearance, to me, is the way the material sticks to the glass back in spots (like a static window cling). But that's really minimal.
They're buy 2 get 1 free at Amazon but I only got the one (and bought some other stuff with it so shipping was free).
Bought the Black and Green one off of Amazon with Prime Shipping. That and my phone arrive Thursday.

sucking price!
I bought this after using the Diztronic for a month. Made the phone feel more like the svelte hardware it should be, rather than a block. Protection does not deem to have suffered either.

RHINOSHIELD Crash Guard

I don't know if you guys know about RhinoShield, they make great screen protectors.
They started a new kickstarter campaign for an awesome case, problem is, it is currently only for the iphone community. I spoke with them and they said, if enough people want it for the nexus 6, they will look into making for the nexus 6.
Here is a link to their campaign so you guys can check them out:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1081571316/rhinosheild-crash-guard-slim-impact-bumper-for-iph
Pre-order page can be found here:
RhinoShield Crash Guard
If enough people like this case/ willing to try it, I will send them a message letting them know we want this case!
That looks great. I usually love having bumpers on my phone. I would get that if it was available for the Nexus 6.
I would definitely buy one
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Free mobile app
I'd buy 2 if they can ship in the next month
Definitely in if they make one for N6.
count me down for one also
Sounds like a great product. Hopefully they make a case for the nexus 6
Won't be buying it, as i really don't like the design. Sure, if you drop your phone from up high, and it lands on a flat surface, like on their video, it will surely work.
Now picture a drop on something protruding, that'd hit the back of the phone: what'll there be to dampen the shock? Not the bumper, as it's only on the sides. So the shock will be transmitted to the insides of the phone, where something will possibly break.
And the optional transparent backcover won't change anything to that: it works with screens, because it rigidifies them, preventing the vibration caused by the shock, which is what actually makes glass shatter. Such a thing doesn't prevent energy from being transmitted: it actually helps energy transmission, and just alleviates the consequences on something as fragile as glass. On the back, the best it'd prevent is mere scratches.
Last thing: I have troubles with taking seriously any promise of protection when the very obvious dust covers (which I happen to need) happen to lack...
So, really: no, not interested at all.
I'm interested. All I ever want is a good bumper. Although only if it was released on a timely manner. I'm not interested if it took 6 months.
THEY HAVE A PRE-ORDER PAGE UP! If enough people pre-order, they'll start making them.

I think I'm gonna give it a shot based on the look of the one they made for the iPhone.
I'd like to see it first as well. Wonder if it's only going to be the bumper or have a plastic back too since the phone has a curve to it.
Also, kind of sucks it's more then the iPhone ones on the Kickstart page. There you can pledge the £12 ($19.19) and get one. Be cool if they offered the combo pack, bumper and screen protector, like they do on the Kickstart page.
What I would be worried about is the curved back of the Nexus 6. How would a bumper protect the back if it is stick out beyond the bumper?

They say they will post the rendering/design around November 14th
you should check out their screen protector (watch their video www.evolutivelabs.com), I have it on my Nexus 5 tough as nail! I think using a bundle+bumper should be good enough.

My same thoughts, I had their screen protectors on my nexus 4 when I had it. Dropped the phone from top bunk without a case(about 7ft), it landed flat and had no damage. The screen protector had some scratches and dents from stuff on the ground but peeled it off and screen was like new.
Render update?
Anyone have any additional news on this?
I was hoping to see a render of the product this week.

[Review] Slickwraps - Black Carbon K1 Skin

First and foremost: I apologize for any bad shots as I'm not really an expert when it comes to taking shots in general. I've used my S6 to take these in "bad" lightning on my work desk which has very little lightning to begin with (light sensitive person here).
View attachment 3632428View attachment 3632429View attachment 3632430View attachment 3632431
It took my about 15-20 minutes to apply it to the best of my knowledge as I had viewed some tutorials on youtube for other devices. Unfortunately as you can see, the camera cut-out is not even and I tried different ways to make it as "pixel perfect" as possible while keeping the logo intact, but sadly it's not possible. And I don't blame them.

The material is premium as expected from 3M. My only downside is of course that there's no way to make it perfect due to the different pieces and the fact that human error has to be taken in consideration. Still, I bought this having that in mind that nothing is perfect in this world, and the main idea of buying this for my S6 as well was because I have quite sweaty palms not to mention that the S6 is one hell of a slippery phone while the Shield tab really isn't but I did want matching skins and the fact that I absolutely hate cases of any kind..
Either way, the skin adds quite a decent grip and the feel to it is really comfy. If you remember the Droid Razr then you know what I'm talking about.
i see no option for the K1 in their website, still for the Original Shield tablet which has cutout for the stylus slot.
Do you have a link?
Link?
Please tell the rest of the world how you got your hands on a K1 skin by SlickWraps. Skinomi is the only company that I can find that makes them for the K1...

Thanks... I feel a bit slow now. :silly:
Big fat warning to you all!
If you decide for all full wrap then keep in mind that the frontal skin ****s with the digitizer (I tried to get it as pixel perfect as possible but the skin applies pressure to the glass which is why. And let's not add fingers to the mix since it creates even more pressure if you're holding it as a notepad you're drawing on). After a few days of usage I finally had enough and ripped it off. The rest is all good minus the misplacement like I noted in the OP. This might not be so worry-some if you're a casual user but for someone who wanted a portable cheap wacom alternative, this one really hit the spot.
I'm pretty disappointed with the cutouts from Slickwraps. Some of the side strips were too long and I ended up having to clip some of them at the ends or in the middle of the strip to have it line up and sit flat. I went in expecting that camera not to be evenly cut from this review. The skin feels alright, but that's kind of what I expect for what I had to pay for it.
Also, installing the side strips make the buttons flush with the skin. If you already had trouble with the buttons before, you should either not use that side strip or just clip it from the buttons.

I too was also thinking bout getting the slickwraps but I think I'll hold off. Anyone know of alternatives? surprised Dbrand doesn't make skins for the Shield Tablet.

There aren't too many color options, but Skinomi skins fit pretty well, and I like the techskin screen protector. It's sort of rubbery, so it doesn't scratch easily. You can get them on Amazon.
Thank you kindly Aphex! twin? heh. I'll check them out.

Beware, as all stickers are made by 3M. The more complex and bigger device the bigger the chance of getting faulty prints (cutouts).

Orzly FlexiCase for the OnePlus 5 arrived! Ask me anything!

Hey guys!
So I received my FlexiCase for the OnePlus 5 today! I can finally move away from my custom case.. (a oneplus 3 case with the camera slot cut out!) I am delighted to see that Orzly are one of the first big-name brands with their cases out! I had the FlexiCase for my OnePlus 3 last year and loved it, so purchased this one the moment I saw it up for pre-order on amazon.
Now lets get into the review!
One of the first things you see in the package when you open it is a letter from the companies co-founder, hoping that you like the product!
http://imgur.com/a/TpGJG
Now onto the packaging, its similar to other products. Dead front you can see through the clear piece of plastic a part of your case, and the rest of the white, orange and gray packaging is surrounding it. The back of it houses some information about Orzly, some social media handles and tells you how you can win some free prizes!
Taking the case out of the packaging, it is a flexible gel case, as the name implies. All the buttons are covered by the case, and the case has protruding areas, along with a gap between the volume up and down buttons to help you determine which is which!
Putting the phone into the case, all the ports, including the camera and alert slider line up perfectly as you can see in the images below! None of the microphones are covered, which is great seeing as I had read of a few companies had covered the one by the camera at the back! Speaker lines up perfectly, and there is ample room for your dash charge cable and headphone jack to fit in, without pushing up the case. The alert slider has a nice little touch, there is a little bit of a space behind it so that your thumb can fit in nicely, without having to struggle! It is actually very useful and you will be able to see it in the images where I compare it with the OnePlus3/3t FlexiCase. Around the back in the bottom right there is a small bit of Orzly branding, which isn't really too obtrusive and is very small.
http://imgur.com/a/wNlwp
There is a lip around the screen, which would be able to protect your device should you drop it and will help to protect you from scratches!
http://imgur.com/a/wEg9a
My opinions? This case is great for anybody who loves the thinness of the OnePlus 5. It sits nearly flush with the back, yet protects the camera. Even though it is thin, it protects the screen which is great! I personally got the clear one, but they do have other matte colours should you want them such as black, red and blue! A link to buy can be found here! (change .co.uk to .com or whatever depending on your location!)
If you have any questions about this case, feel free to ask below and I will reply!
Mine also arrived, pretty standard, good quality and it's nice to be able to see the phone!
I like the oneplus original cases they look that good to me that I spent a extra 100 on Cases. I like every one. They case is OK too though
Mine also arrived today seems pretty good

I think the one from spigen i used on op3 is much better as it is a more hybrid material. Meaning the plastic at the edges is more solid. The edges on the orzly one are too soft so they are moving easily, i dont think it can protect the edges from high impact. Im sure if you dropp it on a edged surface like the edges of some stairs, the edges will bend back and the screen or edges will be f***ed for sure. I will buy a spigen hybrid crytal clear as soon as they pop up on amazon germany.

Ah yeah, this is the flexicase its a bit different. I used the orzly fusion bumper case mainly on my op3 last year, which would be an equivalent to that spigen i believe
That's going to be a nice shade of nicotine brownish yellow in about a month.. Whether you smoke or not.

Sooo much this. You'll need to replace this case monthly if you want to keep enjoying it. It'll look like crap soon.
Only way I'll get a clear case is if the back is hard plastic that won't discolor and the edges need to be a solid color TPU.

Have to say the one case thats nearly clear which doesn't discolour (noticeably) is the Tech 21 variants, they have a mesh so it's no completely apparent.
But yea I learned long ago that clear cases are a no no, nicotine brown is not a good look.

They do but those aren't even shipping yet. When I ordered my black case on Amazon back on June 24th the listing said shipping would start on July 13th. I've already dropped my slippery OP5 once and have a small dent to show for it. I hope the case arrives while I still have something to protect with it.

Same here. I loved the concept of a clear case to show off a nice phone. First time using a clear case was the one that came with my OPx. Didn't take long for it to start turning that nicotine brownish yellow color. (my bad smoking habit didn't help much of course) Got a black spigen case after that and haven't looked back.
I'm waiting for spigen to come out with one for the OP5 and hopefully they do so quickly. I nearly had a heart attack when I dropped it onto the concrete while exiting my work van. (chevy 3500 so It fell from a pretty good distance) Landed screen first but luckily the gorilla glass 5 held up. Ive also got one of the official OP wooden cases which has so far saved the metal finish from some minor scrapes and dings here and there.

Yep I never buy perfectly clear cases anymore, they always go off colour and look dirty. I've gone with the Otterbox for my OP5 this time around, that might change if I start feeling it's too bulky. BUT I love the knowledge and reassurance of the protection it offers over other slim/flexi cases.

Yeah, transparent plastic anything can vary quite alot I find. Some transparent stuff I've had discolors really easy, others last absolutely years without losing a single thing and still cooking crystal clear. (others, varying degrees in between). Have you got any pics of your 3T FlexiCase to show me how they hold up over the test of time? If it's not that bad, then I do like the idea of having transparent cases, because the phone itself seems pretty nice, so is nice to be able to see it through the case, especially stiff like the logo, etc.. But if it's bad, then would probably just go for a colored version instead.
Looks like even the colored ones are finally available now (even just yesterday, all but the transparent one were all showing on pre-order, so looks like t's a safe bet deliverywise for any of the colors either way now)
www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B072QX9H9G but I would still be keen to get your opinion on this, as transparent would have been my first choice, however it's a very good point that alot of people have raised, so I want to be extra specially careful to hear from real people who have used them before knowing which color to get. Main thing is I want it to look nice!
Thanks.

Film protector from Ultimate Shield (review/opinion) with pics

Hi all, been using OP phones for a while now, and since the 3, it has been really impossible to find a good glass screen protector worth the money, as we all well know.
I have then gave up on them and have decided to try a film type, since I take good care of my phones and really never drop them.
So I usually don't take the time to write about that, but really I feel like I should say good things about this one brand (first time using those "wet application" protectors, so the same may apply to other brands, I'm just happy with this one on first try).
First, they do free shipping anywhere in the world. The protector and small accessories come in a simple hard back enveloppe. I think that's good for us, as well as smart.
Second, and linked to the first point, they have a good customer support. My problem was that when entering my shipping address, I could not select Hong Kong as a "country". So I emailed them asking about this, and within a few hours, I had a nice reply and the customer rep had activated HK in the drop down.
Then the product itself.
It is not too hard to apply, really. Follow the steps and you'll be good. They recommand to wait 8-12 hours to turn on the phone again, but I need my phone as an alarm clock, so I waited like 2 hours and all is well. All in all, doing it in the evening, it took maybe 30 mins to install (with waiting to dry up a bit).
The film sticks well, even on the edges of the screen, and it is hard to tell it is there (well, under low angle light, you can notice a very slight "orange peel" effect). On the other hand, touch feeling is really as if there was nothing there.
I tested with the slim official OnePlus cases, as well as the official carbon bumper case, and no problem to notice at all. I also have a Spigen case, but I don't dare trying it, it looks like it "crawls" up a bit much on the edges of the screen. I expect that any slim cases, or those that are not too tight on the edges won't be a problem.
I also ordered one for my wife's S8+, and have installed it as well. Will post pictures this evening when she gets home and I can use her phone for pictures, so you can see how it looks. (for her, I took a full body coverage, and I'll post some pictures of that, so you can see how it goes, and how it looks on different phones).
So all in all, I liked the company attitude, the price (8 GBP for my screen only coverage for OP5, and 12 GBP for S8+), free delivery and of course the product itself.
Let me know if you have questions, I know I personnaly am always looking for info before trying those protectors. God knows I've wasted enough money on many useless ones :crying:
Edit :
have added pics so you can see how it looks (the slight orange peel effect), and also how it goes really fully to the edges
Woow it looks really good!

It does, yes.
I've been using that for a few days now and it's really hard to tell it's there.
Also something I noticed with usage is that it's very fingerprint resistant. Maybe better than the naked screen in that respect.
Can't really comment on long term durability but at least it's very good at the moment.
Having a discount of 25% today i took the risk and ordered it
Oh cool, hope it'll work for you as well as it does for me
I have a spigen case too, you sure you don't want to try it ahah?

Nice! Thank you I'll see to buy this screen protector, nillkin's one is really too small, cutting the screen is annoying :crying:
Are we talking about the neo hybrid case? ;p

It's very exact fit lol, so the protector must be very well aligned. But the protector is so thin that it just stays under the lips of the case.

Yep
I personnaly have the rugged armor
Can't say about that one!
I ordered it long time ago. Haven't tried it yet. I have nilkin glass now. Since I want to protect whole screen and I have a otterbox case... I will apply film soon. Fingers crossed
Ordered one today, got tired of every single tempered glass protector that has adhesive only on the sides and lets the dust go under the screen.. Let's hope this is as good as advertised!
Yeah, let us know if it works well for you guys too
Ordered! Waiting on shipment
Mine arrived, pretty simple package but it made its way to Hamburg Germany without problems :laugh:
Will apply it when in clean surrounding ;p
