This thread is for Nexus 6 Cases/Covers/Accessories available in UK.
To start off this is what I have decided so far...
- [Ordered] http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00OJE2MWW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
These as they have pull tab as compared to
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...sfl_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2EMHRV12E4QWQ

These look good too..

- http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A26JU9GFBVWLS3
Also will be nice if someone can please chip in with advise on Skinomi cases,
specifically I want to know
- the durability ,over a longer period of time, e.g. 1-2 years
- also their response phone (over)heat, i.e. if they shrink
- how well the adhesive holds up over time
- and if they change colour over time or under any other circumstances
Cheers,
MM
Just wanted to warn people from buying these..
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00...h_aui_detailpage_o00_s00&tag=xdadevelopers-21
Looked good but is way too big. The phone just moves around in the case , very loose.
I will wait till I can get another pouch case with pull-tab.
I've currently got the Diztronic one. Loving it!
Spigen Ultra Hybrid Series - Crystal Clear
I bought the Spigen crystal clear case (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A26JU9GFBVWLS3) and I'm very happy with it. I wanted one that was clear to show of the whiteness of the back of the phone (why buy the white version and then cover it up with a black case?!!!)
I feel it would give some good protection in a fall. Only slight downside are the buttons for power and volumes are air cushioned and thus I feel you need to put too much effor too press them but despite this I would recommend the case.
spigen ultra hybrid vs ringke fusion
ive got both the hybrid and the fusion, ive got a comparison and pictures in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57372190&postcount=38
i like the fusion much more, the buttons and the grip seem better plus you get a free screen protector for the same price as the spigen ultra hybrid

Great thanks ... off to buy one
My experience with Skinomi is not good either.
I got the case and applied all the pieces.
The material is good but the cutouts are not accurate.The pieces don't properly cover the back and front sides.
I would not buy this again.
I was really hoping for this to be good, really liked the idea
On a positive note the Ringke case I ordered is quite good.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JAKDCKG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
Gives good protection and does not add much bulk.
Also personally I think it improves the phones(black) look (never bought this phone for its look though )
The Nakedcase is pretty sweet.

I bought one of these and while it looks nice I've encountered severe battery drain when using it. After hardly using my phone today the battery had dropped to 38% and when looking at the useage saw 5+ hours of screen on time. Looking at the phone in the closed case the screen turns on, then goes off when it times out, then turns back on again, continually cycling though an on and off screen.

After finding out about Brando screen protectors after reading a thread here on XDA, I decided to see what other accessories they had for the 7.7. And they had a couple cases in different colors that looked worth a try. Ive been wanting one that snapped on and only covered the edges and not any of the screen itself because sometimes they will cause a screen protector to peel, and I found this. It comes in 4 colors. I ordered the "ice" color which is basically clear because I wanted to still be able to see the silver back. And since it was only $10 I decided to pick up this one too, also in the ICE color. So anyway Ill write some short reviews about them when I get them. It takes 7-10 days from Hong Kong. Heres a couple pics also.
Just ordered 2, these look awesome! Thanks for posting, I'll post pics when I get them.

I got a similar one, with an X in the back. It works, but it increases the size a bit (not so much thickness though, but the length x height), without adding much value (like a stand or wallet pockets or whatever). And it's kind of slippery in your hands, but not so much in your pocket.
It does protect the tab more than the OEM book case, but the Book Case looks better, it's more portable, it's a stand and slips into your pocket easier, while not being slipery in your hands when folded. Protection is just against scratches though.
The worst thing about the case like this is the power button. It's kind of hard to press on/off and sometimes I turn off the tablet trying...very annoying.

Yea, I will most likely be using the snap on most of the time.
UPDATE: Ive received the cases and will write a short review with pics.
Ill start with the snap on case. First thing I noticed that there were 2 spots that had what I would call a stress mark. You know the whitish look that plastic gets when its been bent and is close to breaking? (see pics) This was right out of the package. And it had a scratch along the back as well. Very cheaply made. But it does fit, and fits pretty good. But compared to the TPU type it just doesnt look good, so that one will be shelved. No point in returning it. Comes in Blue, Pink, Black, and ice (clear) I dont recommend this case.
The "ice" colored clear TPU style "X" case is awesome. Its made very well and fits perfect. Since its clear the silver of the tab shows through and looks great. All the ports are cut out well, and it has a very nice grip feel to it. Which of course is a great thing to have on a nearly $600 tablet. My only complaint is one that happens with most of these style cases, and that is that it makes the buttons stiff, and less responsive. They work, but require a lot more force to register. Other than that if you want a case that protects, and still shows the awesome silver back of the 7.7, I do recommend this case, and I prefer the ice colored one. (clear) It does come in red also.
I had also ordered this sleeve . I knew there was a chance it might not fit, but based on the measurements I knew it would be close. Well it didnt fit. It was only $7.45 shipped so no biggie. Ill give it to my mother in law that has the first edition 7" galaxy tab.
I just checked their site (brando), and they have a new case choice that looks like it might be good. Its a snap on type, but is rubber backed rather than the hard plastic. Comes in Colors: Black, White, Blue, Pink, and Red. I might order one, but I learned from my last order to expect at least 16 days for shipping.
Anyway thats all and heres some pics.
Now that you have had the clear back cover for a few days, how is it holding up specially around the buttons and sim/SD slot? I ordered a similar one from an eBay seller in china and it has fallen apart those two areas. This was within 2 day of first use, I had not dropped it so was very upset about it. I did pay $4 for it so i guess I shouldn't complain.

I dont even use it. Already collecting dust. I use the X case sometimes, but love the poetic case and use it the most. Looks great, protects great, and has multi stand angles. Highly recommend.
Has anyone tried one of these SZLF Aluminum Bumper cases for the AT&T Note? It appears this is only for the International version but I am not aware of any differences in the size of the phone so it may work for both. All of the listings I have found for this on eBay only mention i9220 and N7000 though.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Luxury-...374880?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4163fca0e0
Also, if you have tried this, does the case cover the edges of the screen (further protecting a screen protector)? I like the look of this one as well as the Anymode Bumper but the Anymode looks really big.

Sweet armor is nice and all, but the fake is 1/4 the price, so it would win my vote. The review showed that the original is better made, but I just don't think it's that much better depending on how biased the review is.
I got the sweet armor (fake version, same as szlf) and ended up not using it. Here's why:
1. Makes phone more slippery and heavy
2. Scratches screen protector when taking on and off (and you must take it off to access battery)
3. Not very ergonomic

They look cool, some people like them, I just don't see the point since I agree with primarily your first point. The other day I was laying in my recliner with my 2 year old beside me and we were looking at a zoo app of animals while holding my phone above us. It slipped and I cracked my poor baby girl in the face with my phone. Since then I keep the silicon jacket on it untill my Seidio comes in the mail.
Can't stand the "SZLF" logo all over it...
Stay away from Aluminum Bumpers
My buddy and I both have Notes. We were just troubleshooting (Like 15 muintes ago) network connectivity problems he has been experiencing here at work the last few days. The connection would drop or stay at 4G, and rarely hit LTE. What we discovered was it was the aluminum bumper he installed around the same time the problems started. It drastically reduce his signal quality. Stay far away from these.
Thanks everyone for all the feedback. Based on the issues with potentially scratching the screen protector putting this bumper on and the poor signal strength I am just going to keep looking for something else. I like the BoxWave TPU case I have now but it does not cover the edge of the screen/SP so every once in awhile I notice it pushing up against the SP causing the SP to move slightly.

I am not sure, but it also looks like the battery cover for the N7000 is different than the one on the I717. Noticed on this SZLF case, the bottom back portion would block the I717 cover.

For the price it's hard to beat. The Poetic cases are a minimum $20 so this is a bargain.
This tablet is fantastic, it's a real shame it isn't getting the type of publicity or recognition as ipads or nexus devices.
I have a Note 3, Nexus 1st gen, and Nexus FHD. The build quality on this Xperia is superb and tops compared to all those devices.
That was a really fast review. Should have mentioned if you can charge it with the case on.
Anyway. I bought one so I'll find it out soon.

Yes, you can charge it, while in the case. I tend to keep everything short and to the point because there's plenty of 10 minutes and longer review videos on youtube.
Also, there are cut outs for the IR blaster in the plastic case. I tested it as my TV remote with the case on and it worked great.
Does the auto wake and sleep feature works your case?
Mine doesn't and there's another person on Amazon which has this problem too.
Am I missing something?

Hi i got the jisoncase slim case, it looks exactly the same as the labato slim case. only thing different is the logo and the stitching... Anyway i was having issues of tablet not turning on when case is opened.. Try this hold the right side of the case down and lift the left corner, so you see the corner of the screen.... the screen when lifted it should turn on ? if not try Vice versa the screen should turn on ?
if it don't turn on, get a magnet remove the case and see if there is a magnet in the flip part of the case... And remember do NOT take the magnet near the tablet you will damage the display or other sensitive components of the tablet..

I actually just received my Labato case yesterday and I really like it. It seems very well made especially for the price. My only issue is that the case doesnt stay closed with the magnet, so while moving the tablet around, the cover flaps open and keeps waking/sleeping the tablet. While that is my only complaint, its very annoying. If it had a strap or something to keep it closed, it would be the perfect case.

What I did is looking by the side to know if the screen turned off when I closed it.
What I've noticed is that the auto turning off doesn't work well but the turning on does almost the time.
Also I checked where the magnet is whith the cellphone and it's placed correctly (maybe it's not the most accurate tool but I couldn't feel it).
I concluded that the magnet might not be very strong so that's why it fails some times.
I must that the case is wonderful and price is pretty low. I've seen the case on Amazon and Ebay for those interested in it.
Thanks for help
pretty nice. any case for Sony Z2 tablet from them?
I just received my labato case yesterday.
Build quality is excellent and the magnet isn't powerful enough to mess with the display like my old case.
One negative however is that it doesn't stand very well, the base of the stand isn't really adequate I think, it falls backwards a lot especially on uneven surfaces.
I got one of those Labato cases ) Good quality and tablet wakes up like a charm )... Nice price! Recommend!
I just got this case and have the same problem with the smart cover not working 100% of the time. If I had known, I would have just paid less for the case without the smart cover. It's a great case otherwise though.
Update: After using the case for a week, the "smart" cover now works 0% of the time.

I second this. And some times the flip doesn't close properly to turn off the screen. You also need to put a lil more effort to have the tablet stands stably.
planning to buy the red labato case, is it better than the black one since its $2 more expensive than the black one @ aliexpress ?
Or are both build wise and quality wise the same ?

No doubt Xperia Z3 is a beautiful design and most of the owners are inclined to show its curves, shape and color (specially the copper version) to others. I have been looking for many transparent cases around from different brands. In order to check their reviews, I looked at the reviews for xperia z2 cases by all of them.
My findings: Cheaper options available like yousave are not as transparent as they claim. The gel and silicon based cases are not at all transparent. Most of the transparent cases are susceptible to scratches. I have read good reviews about the tough naked case by CaseMate but the case does not protect the front. Then there is Spigen's case (which is not yet available yet) which has good reviews but the side bumper is made of TPU which is not totally transparent and looks a cheap look. The best reviews I found was for Ringke Fusion case however one really bad thing i have read about it is that if the phone falls, the sides of the case scratch the color off the phone. The case claims to have shock absorption but I fail to understand how they claim it.
If anyone among you have used any case before, please guide and recommend and review.
I was looking for a transparent slim case like this, but I can't find any for the Z3 only the Z3c.

Mine was ordered on Oct. 2nd, the next day I received a Tracking Information, still today it just says Label created, when I finally could reach them they told me that they had production issues and was delayed, but the new shipping date was Oct. 24th then later another one called me (left a message earlier) and said that it was 27th, when I asked if it was the 24th or the 27th, he insisted that it was next monday, that of I wanted to keep the order they will offer me a 15% discount if not they could cancel it.
Due that I think that Ringke Fusion design is the best there is for our phones I kept it, I've been using the Fusion in my past 3 phones and are of great quality, honestly I don't know what happened to them this time as is the first time I have problems with them with an order or product.
i ordered this one, really like it...

I ordered the Case-Mate Barely There case. It looks and feels OK, although protection is minimal as you'd expect. The cut out on the left is rather large as you can see, to allow the official dock to be used.
The case scratches rather easily. I marked the back by sliding my phone a few centimeters across the desk within an hour of using the case.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend it, due to how easily it scratches.
I'd be really interested to see if anyone handsome photos ofnthe Ringke Fusion case.

This case looked to be the best. It got really great reviews for the iphone 6+, hopefully this one is built as good. I ordered it from eBay, I hope it has a descent opening to use a magnetic charger. It should be in Thursday, to bad I don't have my phone yet to try it on.

The review left by the user wasn't too positive. I ordered this today on Amazon and cancelled it. :/
I finally got mine about 10 days ago, I really love it and to me it looks great, they thought of everything, it even fits the Dual Sim D6633, the left side flap fits perfectly on it, plus they thought of all the Magnetic chargers and even adapters out there so I kind of think that this is the most universal cover for our z3.
BUT, I left them a negative feedback on eBay simply because that's no way of working on the Customer service side, no responses to emails for weeks and after offering me a 15% discount if I kept the order active, I'm still waiting for them to rely to the email I sent dating yes and asking about how was I suppose to receive the credit.
EDIT: SOLD!!
Just purchased the Ringke Fusion Case, what sold it for me mostly was the cool headphone jack protection.
My previous phones have ended up getting pretty corroded in there. And after taking shots with the xperia Z3 in my pool yesterday, the headphones attached macro application, was causing the phone to go nuts as soon as water entered the jack slot.
Another nice thing which annoyed me with a similar case, is that the cutout for the lens and flash was not very big, causing horrid shots when the flash was used. This case looks to have a good space around that flash to hopefully avoid this issue.
Will keep you posted after it arrives

I have this case and I hated it from the moment I got it. It came with a round sticker in the back. By simply trying to remove it, the case got very badly scratched. I was furious. I keep my cases 100% clean and this piece of garbage got damaged by nothing and within 2 minutes of getting it out of the packaging. I was going to return it immediately, but the other cases I bought were even worse in other aspects.
This case covers all the buttons, the MicroSD/SIM card slot, and it has a plug for the audio port. The magnetic and USB ports are not covered. I had to cut the audio plug off because it was putting too much pressure on my earphones.
The lips in front of the case give the phone some protection; they're thick in my opinion. I feel this case will protect the phone in case of a drop. It's thicker than I'd like, but it's definitely not a "thick" case. The fit is not tight at all, so I believe it won't damage or displace screen protectors. It's not going to fall off the phone, but it's not difficult to put it on at all.
This is my daily driver because I haven't been able to find anything less bad. I was looking for an ultra thin, transparent case, but this one had great reviews all over the Internet.

True! When i got mine, i wondered why it's not as clear as I'd expected it. So i tried wiping it with my handkerchief to see if it's just some dirt or leftover adhesive from the protective film. To my shock, what i was wiping was a scratch already, and i made it even worse by rubbing it. Good thing i have the white z3 compact act so it's not too noticeable. But really disappointed with it's quality. I waited two months for this cause i live in the Philippines. Sigh. Rinke's Fusion case isn't as nice as it advertises.
UPDATE: apologies, there was a sticker on the rear panel. That's why it wasn't as clear and it easily "scratched". my phone looks okay now. Haha
You should take a look at http://aliexpress.com - it might takes 3-4 weeks to ship, but you will find literally a ton of transparent cases from 2$ (incl. shipping).
Got mine also from there - took 3.5 weeks.
I was just about to order a Ghostek Slim Armor for my G3 (yes it rips off the Spigen LG G2 styling Slim Armor casing with the squared off design; the Spigen Slim Armor for the G3 is more rounded all around) when I happened to notice this that just popped up on Amazon in my search results but didn't a few days ago:
http://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Ghostek-Atomic-Attached-Protector/dp/B00TEFF3YA
Never heard of it till just a few minutes ago and considering the "introductory" price of $24.95 I'm damned seriously considering pressing that pre-order but right at this moment.
It looks fantastic, has an IP68 rating apparently but I can't find any actual info about it. There website needs a lot of work apparently as it's borked in ways I can hardly believe and was directed away to their Facebook page (I mean, really?).
Doesn't appear to be nearly as big and bulky as an Otterbox Defender would be, probably not as much as a Commuter either but they don't make a Commuter for the G3, they have something new called "Symmetry."
Regardless, I really am just so close to buying this case, it seems like a big winner to me - especially for $25 - but I think I'll wait a few days and try and get more info. Hopefully that pricing will remain in effect for a bit...
Anyone else have any opinions on this particular case, I'm curious if others would consider it worthy of protecting their G3 based on what it appears to be offering, and again that price is crazy if the retail will be $80 normally when it's officially released next week.
What is this hole for?

Maybe a port for the microphone? It doesn't have one on the bottom.
Got a white one on order. The reviews seem like a mixed bag of bad and good for other phone models.

Looks like a dust catcher.
I'll order one when the item is on Prime fullfilled by Amazon. Easy return in the event I don't like it.
Sent from my LG G3 D855 CloudyG3 Lollipop
so did anyone buy this?
Hey i have bought this case.its a great case and is really waterproof i hav tested it.bt you have to be careful when u put the case as the slightest of loose thing will make water go inside it bt otherwise if u put ut carefully its a great case bt wen u put it in its a little bit hard to use for me.but overall its water proof and a great case for lg g3.if u want to make ur lg g3 waterproof i.e.
I just got my case and when I make phone calls the screen goes black and I can't get it to come back in till I take the case off. I went into the settings and made all the settings to stay on all the time even during a call works great out of the case the minute its back in the case and I make a call it goes black again and I can't get the screen to come back in not even with the home button. Any suggestions?
Too Numb
2 BIG for a case!Maybe U only need a waterproof plastic bag bag.
I have this case, my very first case for my G3. I love it. I feel safe and secure, a bit big in your pants pocket but that's okay. Highly recommend it.
Hi. Do you think I could use this case for snorkeling (max 2 meters depth)?. Thanks.

I seriously doubt it. There seems to be no protection on the camera. I would not trust this as water proof. Splash proof maybe.
