So I ordered the Ebony Wood TOAST cover! - Nexus 6 Accessories

It really came out fantastic! I can actually still fit the phone inside my Spigen Ultra Hybrid and Ringke Fusion cases, but I am going to rock it naked for awhile, I think!
Figured you guys would want to see some pictures of it, so here they are!

Looks great, do you think if you put some adhesive on the toast back cover, that it could replace the OEM back?

I mean, it might if it is done correctly. I have never seen how thick/thin the OEM back cover is by itself, so I wouldn't know what to say about how far it would be sticking out.
The wood cover comes with the standard 3M adhesive you would find on something like the Dbrand/Slickwraps, but it actually has a cutout, on the adhesive side, that keeps the adhesive off of the 'NEXUS' lettering. I think the adhesive on this is a bit stronger, so it seems.
I think if you could figure out a way to adhere it evenly across the service, it could work. It's definitely rigid enough, albeit flexible. I am not sure that flexibility would stand up to the gaps underneath the OEM back cover.
You'd also probably want to have TOAST make a solid one with the dimple filled in, if they would even do that, so you have nothing exposed underneath.

Very nice! I just got my TOAST in today too. Walnut with a front cover on a MB!

Your phone looks AMAZING!! Which brand front skin did you use? I tried the dbrand mahogany front skin over a Jelly Comb tempered glass protector, which sort-of worked... until I tried to put my Spigen slim case on the phone and it tore the front skin AND glass protector right off the front of the phone lol. Thinking I might go with the toast back cover and leave the case off, but definitely interested in what you used for the front (skin and protector) because it came out fantastic!

These are such handsome-looking phones. I would feel too exposed without a more shock-absorbing bumper around all sides, but these have the feel of something personally crafted, which is remarkable for something as ubiquitous as a cellphone.

It's actually Toast brand, so it's a little bit raised unlike a dbrand but more durable. I currently don't have a screen protector on it as I never use them if I have something elevating the screen. It's maybe about half as thick as a credit card so not annoying at all.

I just ordered my Toast skin last night. How does the skin feel? I've seen a cpl guys over at G+ complaining that the phone felt to slippery.

It's pretty grippy but smooth, like one of those wooden puzzles you play with. Definitely does a lot for the slipperiness of this massive phone! It only gets better with time as the wood does age slightly.
From my experience, the ebony wood is slightly more slippery on account of the varnish used to make the wood (it's not real ebony!) darker.

It's definitely less slippery then the default backing. The wood feels very very nice!

How does the ridge/edge feel?
I'm thinking of getting this for my incoming Nexus 6 - I do wonder about how the raised lip feels considering it sticks up higher than the back plate? Can you feel the edge of the wood cover? It's such a great smooth phone, I would be a little bummed if there was a rough edge feel in hand.

They edges are sanded down to make them smooth.

The wood texture looks great but it clearly isn't flush with the edge of the phone. Since it's just stuck onto the existing back this is inevitable.
If we could use this instead of the existing back I'd seriously think about it but it looks too much of a bodge just stuck on top of the stock back.

I have been given multiple compliments regarding this cover. The edges are not as noticeable as you'd think (I thought it was going to bother me more than it did), the sanding seems like a good work around. I will try it. :good:

Can't post links yet. Just pry of your old back and it fits pretty damn good.

Carbon Skin

I'm new here and registered to show how good this thing looks (in my opinion) with a carbon skin. I did the same for my iPad before I sold it. I uploaded the pictures to my User account photo album so I assume I just link them now.

Looks good. Can share with others here where you got the skin from? And is it really carbon fiber or just the design?

I purchased it from Skinomi. I like how the skin gave the white "bumpers" a darker look.

I got the same thing from Skinomi and I like it. I only added the one back panel.
That does look nice.
HTC Flyer / Tapatalk
Nice! Had a similar one from PhantomSkinz when I had my Captivate. Love the carbon look.
I have the same skin. I'm afraid the corners may start to peel back... Not faulting Skinomi, since it would be a problem with any cut to fit skin.
Just trying to think of ways to prevent it. Maybe a bead of nail-polish or super glue on the edges to smooth and reduce from catching... also prevent particles from getting under the edges.
I used a heat shrink gun for the edges and it pretty much gave it a very clean, secure adhesion to the tablet. I would think a hair blow dryer would do the same.
Did the same with a heat gun while wrapped in packing stretch wrap... But still feel as though it may get caught... Oh well, they sent me two by mistake or it may be there policy.

Yes, you really have to use a heat gun or blow dryer for best results ...I used a blow dryer.
I really want to get this skin combo but I wish they would cut out a section around the htc lettering like they do for the ipad skins.
I might just get it and do the cutting myself but I would prefer not to.
OP, thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Yes. I would have liked to see the HTC logo cut-out also. Overall its a nice cut.
Just installed yesterday. The pics are a bit lousy because the lighting here at work is crap and I can't just leave right now. I thought it would be nice to see the htc logo but after installing it I think it looks good as is.
It has a great textured feel to it and it adds a bit of grip to the view. I didn't install the sides because they just didn't line up right; I had to cut the skin for the top bumper because it would have prevented me from removing the cover if I need to get to my micro sdcard.
The screen protector that came with it is nice and doesn't have that rubbery feel that zagg's have. It doesn't affect the display at all unless you install it and leave many microbubbles and streaks behind.
Overall I give it 3.5 out of 5. The reason I rated it like this is because the original design prevents access to the micro sdcard without having to destroy the skin. Another reason is that the cutouts don't line up that great on the view. The edges that stick to the curves of the view seem to have been cut short and leave a bit of a gap between the skin edge and the edge it is supposed to wrap around.
Other than that, it's still not a bad price (29.95 I think I paid) for a full body-skin and screen protector. A heat gun or blow-dryer is a must use item when installing this skin. It makes the skin soft enough to be able to stretch it just bit if you need it to which is what I did in some areas to get the edges to line up correctly.
Nice skin but I agree it's a pain to cut the skin to be able to remove the sd card cover. And the corners we difficult to stay in place without putting a lot of heat to it. 3 stars for me.

Really nice

I agree about the cutting of the cover portion. A razor did it fairly easily. The back portion of the skin is great. The rest is just meh. I must say though, that this company does stand behind their product. I wrote them after my install about the cover portion that came off when I tried to change out my micro sd card. He shipped me a whole new skin, screen protector and all. It was in my mailbox two days later. This is very rare these days. For that I give it four stars. I had a problem with a full body suit from body guards and still have not received my exchang from them, and that was weeks ago. The screen protector on this setup is one of the clearest I've used but it is a little grippy and feels unresponsive at times. Although, the finger prints are way less than when I had nothing at all.
I just wanted to let everyone know that the Skinomi carbon fiber skin and the Armor Suit carbon skin are the exact same thing. I just received my Armor suit today and was surprised when it was the exact thing. So if you're shopping for one you can get the cheaper of the two. Service wise the shipping was about the same, but Skinomi was on the ball with a replacement that same day. My Armor skin was originally for my Sammy 10.1 and I exchanged it for the flyer which took a month and me calling a few times to get it. I will say that they were very nice people and very understanding.
Here is mine

you beat me to this, i thought i would be the first to share it but i didn't end up getting it as hoped yesterday.
Mine was supposed to come yesterday, a package came and I opened the package and inside was someone else's order.
Skinomi swiftly sent me another one and it should be with me by Saturday. Ill share my pics as well once i get mine on.
do you like it?
the one thing i noticed from your pictures though that disturbs me, does it cover up the 2 speakerphone mics on the back????

There was a small cut-out I missed! Thanks to your post I got it
I could be wrong but I don't think those are speaker phone mics. When I took the training for this phone (i work for sprint) it advised those where mics for noise canceling.
Very nice!
I just placed an order for more of the 3M material yesterday. If you're feeling adventurous and want to DIY, follow my tutorial below like I did with my Evo last year:
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-tips-tricks/86984-carbon-fiber-back-mod-tutorial.html
Got my carbon fiber skinomi, i applied the carbin fiber part fine, it looks great and ill be sure to share pictures later. it feels a bit funny to hold but overall it no big deal i can get used to it and feel like it offers the protection i need without some big bulky case.
unfortunately putting a new skinomi screen protector didnt go so well. i used a brand new cloth but still i managed to get even more lint under the skin, ill keep it on for now but im just going to get a traditional screen protector later on, i hate these liquid install ones.
I am using an Otterbox Defender, which is absolutely perfect for me - protects the entire phone, including screen, from bumps, scratches and drops.
Just curious why you folks opted for something (a carbon fiber skin) that apparently only protect the phone from scratches. I might be wrong but regardless it being carbon fiber overall looks really thin and compared to the $30 I paid for the Otterbox, how much protection does this carbon fiber skin provide?

It's really just for aesthetics. And it's not true Carbon Fiber... but a 3M adhesive material that is styled that way.
http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com/
all i need to do is protect the phone from scratches, the phone itself without a case is pretty sturdy compared to the EVO4G. I am not saying go ahead and drop the phone but i have much more faith in this phone. i love the carbon fiber look too.
btw i ripped off the skinomi screen protection, i just hate these damn liquid-install screen protectors, ill just use a traditional one.
i put my carbon fiber skin on today and was not happy with it. the side skins do not pull down enough to meet and join together at the top and bottom. I covered my evo with the 3M with just an hours time and steady hand. i feel i could do a better job then this carbon skin kit for the photon. so im peeling mine off and got some 3M carbon fiber adhesive ill use. :/ kinda upset they did not get the cut outs well enough to wrap all the way around. and the liquid screen thing drives me up the wall. i took it off. rather put the gorilla glass to use then not have a clear screen.
sinomi is sending me another kit bc i complained. ill see if its any different. i doubt

Here is a cover I made from a black 2mm thick foam sheet from Micheal's craft store. The foam I used is called "Silly Winks Foam Sheets, 12x18, 2mm thick, $0.89." Basically, I just got the foam sheet, cut it down to 9 3/4 x 6 1/2 inches, and cut a slot out for the speaker and camera. I attached it with some wide double sided tape from 3M, making sure to edge the cover with tape very carefully so no corner comes loose.
I found the foam to be nice in the hand for non-slippiness, and it also takes care of that crunching sound that you can get if you set your tablet down on a hard surface that has some small grains of dirt or other stuff on it. I havent had to take one of these off yet, but the tape shouldnt do anything bad to the front cover, or its finish.
Enjoy.

Heh, that's pretty slick. Hmm think would work great with adhesive that comes on all the bump mail...comes off really easy (has a rubbery feel) but holds pretty dang well.
Looks good though.

yup, its the same stuff basically as the stuff they use on envelopes.
Interesting, going to swing by Michaels or Ben Franklin's tomorrow while I finish up Christmas shopping. I'm assuming 2mm is as thing as it gets?
Good job. Yes, I was thinking I might have to cover the amethyst gray.
Some said that it looked too purple. But, I don't think so. I actually like
the color. In some light almost looks gunmetal.
The only issue I see you having is since it's not exactly flush with the surface, I'm afraid that the foam can get caught on things. For example when you put it down or stuff it into a bag.

They might have some that are a bit thicker, but 2mm just seemed like the best thickness to me. They also have other colors i think, some pretty bright...
yeah, it can get caught in a bag if you dont put it in just right, but doing a good tape job takes care of most of that problem.

Not exactly. The adhesive used isn't remotely the same as, for example, a sticker. If it's the envelope stuff, it leaves absolutely no residue. Besides, he didn't say this is be all end all solution.

[review] TRYIT leather flip case w/ stand

Hey all. I purchased the TryIt black leather flip case with the stand about 2 weeks ago off ebay $44.69 shipped. I honestly didn't like it at first but it has grown on me. It takes a while to get used to holding the phone with the case cover flipped back. My only real complaint is the sturdiness of the kick stand. Looking at the pictures on ebay, i thought the kick stand was metal. It actually is a cheap plastic stand that snaps off really easily. A little bit of pressure makes it come off, luckily it snaps back into place. The genuine leather gives it a nice feel. The ID/credit card slots are convenient. However, it can only hold up to 4 cards comfortably. The fitment of the case hugs the note perfectly with all holes aligned. Surprisingly it doesn't add much bulk. Enough rambling...now for the pics:

call quality is fine with the case closed. i was thinking the caller would sound muffled, but they actually sound clear. removing the case seemed quite difficult at first, but after doing it several times, you get used to it. at first it seems like you will break the clip on liner but it actually is really durable.
I'm really digging the look of this case. How much was it?

i got it off ebay $44.69 shipped. a lil pricey, but i say the black leather is what makes it worth it for me. ill add this info to the review. thanks for the reminder.
I'm thinking of ordering the non-flip version of this case. Does the top bezel touch the surface of the display at all? It looks like it only touches the sides. I want to add a Glas.t screen protector, but I don't want the case to touch it.
Also, how much size and weight does this add? Would you consider this a slim case (without the flip cover)? Thanks.

top bezel does not touch the surface. you will be fine if you order the glass screen protector.
it doesnt add much weight at all. i would consider it a slim case if it is the one without the flip cover.
Thanks. Does the bezel all you to place the phone face down without the display touching the table? It looks like the bezel might be slightly raised above the level of the display (not once the glas.t protector is on, though).

the bezel is slightly raised, but its like half a mm. i still feel like the screen touches the table when on its face. i wouldnt recommend having the face down with this case.
I'm still thinking of getting this case. How is your holding up? Also, have you ever tried the Elago G4 or Rearth Ringke Slim? I'm curious how much thicker this case is over the others.

the case is holding up pretty well. i haven't tried any other cases other than this one so far. i am actually thinking about purchasing the seido active case with the kickstand. i did have my first drop a couple weeks ago. i was in my car with the door open and it slipped out of my jacket pocket. when it hit the ground it actually popped out of the case. luckily it wasnt too high off the ground. there was no damage to the phone since it was in the case when it hit, but when it popped it, it did slide a couple inches. i can confirm that this case is not made for drop protection.
I have the Samsung flip case, using it now, not sure to keep it. It's so unconvinced compare to my non-flips one. What the better way to use it? hard to hold unless fold the flip all the way to the back, take extra time to "open the case" .... Grrrr
just purchased the mugen power extended battery. pm me if you are interested in this case since i dont need it anymore.

Diztronic TPU Case Review

Just got two of these after seeing that the guy that makes (designs them) them actually is on XDA a lot and was very helpful while NOT hocking his product everywhere.
*UPDATED*
Originally the case covered part of the upper mic. I just removed the upper portion of the case and realigned it so the mic was centered when I re-attached that case. To easy. That was really the only draw back I had.
Pro's
1- Delivery was fast
2- Case was cheap (9$)
3- Shipping was (5$ for both)
4- Case is VERY low profile
5- Mat Black is oh so smooth and the front rim is a nice glossy black with more grip to it. This is nice as it makes it easy to hang on to.
6- Back design icon is cool looking
7- Kick stand still easy to access
8- Nice port access
9- Doesn't pull my Zagg Invishield HD screen cover off
10- Easy to get on and off
11- Doesn't scratch my phones finish
12- VERY light weight
13- Mat black with red highlights of the phone looks very sexy and pro
14- phone still fits in my pocket easily and doesn't collect dust etc.
15- Snug fit on the phone
16- Bezel is high enough on the front that my phone screen doesn't touch anything when laid on its face.
17- Camera is protected by slight bezel around it.
18- No "case buttons"...you still access the phones buttons which are nice
Con's
1- Power button is a little hard to depress initially but this is because the button is so high on the phones profile. Case flexes to alleviate this after a few uses though. I don't think this is the cases fault
2- Not many styles - My wife liked the Green Cruizer Lite better but not that much better. The android pattern on those cases looked cool but I don't know...after a while I do like the professional and sleek design of the Diztronic better. Plus the Cruizer Lite *looked* a little more bulky
mind attaching a pic?
shipping is only 2.50 on his ebay page.
good review
wish it came with a screen protector (thought it did bc it did with other phones, but it didnt).
note: you can readjust the case starting from the top of the phone to align the mic you said was covered. i noticed it blocked mine after reading your review so i took it off and readjusted the case and it doesnt cover it anymore
Mine doesn't block the upper microphone at all?
Neither does mine. Every port lines up perfect, just like on my RAZR Maxx and EpTouch cases.

Yeah I didn't even have to take the whole thing off...fix and looking perfectly.
*Updated Review*
Got mine in today and it fits nicely and looks good, I just have one main complaint about it....should of covered the buttons...after holding it in hand those holes in the case on the sides get annoying to me, and the thin strip where the volume rocker is, is so flimsy im almost scared it might stretch too much over time, or break...havent had a TPU case with buttons covered that the function was more difficult than the phone without the case on, so dont really see the reasoning why to leave them open now...
to each their own though i guess...
I received my cases as well today. Originally I liked the high gloss translucent one best because it just looks really sharp. After just a couple of hours though, it was covered in smudges and fingerprints(like anything glossy).
The fit on both of the cases I received are spot on. Snug fit, all my buttons/openings line up perfectly, and doesn't add much bulk. Simply great cases for the cost.
I will be sticking with the matte black one for the foreseeable future based on just the smudge factor.
Got to tell you - after listening to so many recommendations from the group here I decided to get the case and boy, I am so glad I did.
The case is snug with minimal footprint, all cut outs match perfectly (prefer this from covered) and the flat black matte just compliments the Evo. The kickstand is also easily accessible and it got here ahead of schedule..
Two thumbs up!
Got my case today as well. Now only if I had the phone to put it in....

I agree that the power button is a bit difficult to depress initially. >_< That's my only qualm about this case!

Yeah case looks good overall, though I wish they had a version that covered the buttons and port so that the phone would be more water resistant (read: not waterproof, but at least ports/button holes would be protected from drippy hands at the least). Also, as people mentioned, it would be easier to precisely hit the various buttons if they weren't beneath the lip of the case.
