I've been Googling, eBaying, and Amazoning (last fictional verb sounds kinda cool) for a common, flat case for my Tab 2 7.0.
It has become my number one remote control, so you can probably understand how uncomfortable a flip case is, adding an extra step every time I want to change a channel, or having a cover hanging (why in the world are 95% of the cases are now "folio"?!). Also, most cases either block the IR transmitter entirely, have some part obstructing it partially, making it mandatory to aim with "the" angle towards my TV set.
I have found a few silicon cases on eBay, but they have an S line, or weird X across the whole thing, that just make the device look fugly to me. No offense if someone likes it or has it, as we know, everyone has different taste.
I'd like to just get a regular, non-flip, non-folio, non-X-or-any-character-of-the-alphabet-drawn, plain cover, that protects the rear of my device, and doesn't obstruct the IR blaster at all. How hard can it be? The perfect fit for me would be a flat, matte black rubber thingy, with a hole where the blaster is... so simple, and inexistent! Maybe even better, a hard case.
Anyone found something, somewhere?

I've looked but haven't found any.
I tried out the S curve case that was made for the GTab Plus and it fit horribly. It's too bad that the Gtab 2 isn't popular enough to have more cases. I was hoping for a Cruzerlite case, but I don't think it's gonna happen.

Yeah, I've seen it. I'm not sure it fits the "simple, flat" criteria, although I think I'd buy it if it didn't cost 1/3 of what my tablet did
I agree that Otterbox is pricey. I also hate the frame around the screen on the front.
Why not just get one of these cheap tpu style cases and just cut the tabs off that hold the cover?

That's exactly what I planned on doing if I couldn't find anything... get rid of the cover, and/or punch a hole for the IR sensor on the ones that are designed for P3100.
What about this one...
http://dx-box.com/rock-ultra-thin-nakedshell-faceplate-for-samsung-galaxy-tab-2-p3100-7.html
Says "P3100", but there's a 7.0 Plus in the pictures... who knows!
Got one, and it fits perfect! I'll post some pictures tomorrow.
PS: Anyone has tried matte/antiglare screen protectors? Been thinking about one, but not really convinced.
Try the Capdase silicone case for Tab 7.0 plus. Although mine is the folio type, (silicone case with IR blaster slot + leather folio) their plain silicone (w/o the leather case) seems exactly what you're looking for. Just plain flat black silicone, no x or s or whatever. just plain flat.

Do the corners of that case create a bit of a bevel/lip where they clamp on the tab? In other words, when you put the tab face down on a desk/table, is there a space between the screen and desk/table or is it flush?

I prefer the matte over the clear screen protector. The clear one gets sticky at times, the matte is always smooth and you don't have to worry about hairline scratches and reflections in your screen.

Well that's a little compromise. Color is not as sharp and bright as the clear one but not by a big margin.

I guess it's worth a try. I'll get a matte screen cover and see how it goes. Good input, thanks!
Now, the long overdue pictures . Since the back surface is mostly flat (that was the idea), I concentrated mostly on showing how it fits the tablet. My apologies for the narrow depth of field... unfortunately I didn't have my tripod's plate with me, so I had to take the pictures handheld, and the only way to get a steady shot was with a large aperture.
This is the general look of it:

Dealextreme tends to be somewhat slow compared to individual sellers from Ebay, I believe this is because DX is the "middleman" liasing between customers who place orders and the suppliers who advertise their products whereas on Ebay, the sellers are the suppliers who respond directly to customer orders.
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.
The verizon branded S8 screen protector is great quality, cheap and easy to install. (I purchased it for $26 on the VZW website)
All you have to do is clean up your phone real nice
Then set it inside of the guide piece that comes in the box.
Take off the plastic from the sticky side and set the screen protector on the guide.
Push down on the protector and take off the plastic from the upper side of the protector and BOOM you're done.
It fits in cases without lifting and doesn't cover any of the sensors.
The only complaint I would have is that you can see some dots in direct sunlight but that's a non-issue if you turn the brightness up or just don't be in direct sunlight
Let me know what you guys think. I recommend you try one for yourself. Looks better in person. sorry for the giant pics
If you have any questions about it let me know. Oh and there are no dead spots for touch and it responds no loss in sensitivity.
it is full adhesive on the entire protector? I just looked it up on my corporate Verizon site and it has a Samsung part number so I am pretty sure this is the official glass screen protector that samsung was rumored to be coming out with. I went ahead and ordered it since I get a discount. Part number for anybody interested :SAMDM1PKGSPBK

From what I can tell, it is only glued around the outside, but they did a good enough job so it doesn't feel like it lifts in the center or anything

I stopped by my local Verizon store. It is $45 and they claimed the whole thing had glue. I suspected the guy was full of crap when he said that. I passed on it for now. I am leaning toward trying one, but don't have that much cash right now. Thanks for all of the info.

Apparently Verizon brands all their generic stuff similarly. The guy at the store told me they do the same for all brands. That being said this thing is more trash, screen sensitivity is worse than the GPEL I had on. Funny thing was right after install it was perfect and its slowly getting worse.

I got the Iluvvitt and ZAGG tempered glass. Both are basically crap. They are designed the exact same, with the adhesive only being on the edges. The result is a constant halo effect, and because there is a slight gap between the phone screen and the protector, you get a "rainbow effect" when you turn the phone at different angles. Same exact problem with all of the glass screen protectors and my LG V20.
Yeah the reviews for the verizon one are terrible. Is it the the curved display that has made it hard to make a good tempered glass protecter for S6, S7E, & S8?

From what I've seen, yes. For some reason they can't or just don't put adhesive on the whole protector, only the edges.

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.

That's going to be a nice shade of nicotine brownish yellow in about a month.. Whether you smoke or not.
Will never buy a clear case again for this reason.

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.

Hopefully not! My 3/3t flexicase is still pretty clear, slighty more yellow but not as bad as others I've seen. hoping this stays the same!

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.
I ordered 2 devices, one with dual screen, one without (I think the white is gorgeous and no white dual screen, so didn't bother). However, the dual screen one will be more for home use. So when the phones are "out and about" what case options are there? I have googled, Amazon, eBay, Walmart, but really only found clear rubber, which I already know from experience will discolor over time. How long til we get viable options for cases with such a new phone? I for sure need cases since these glass phones like to get up off surfaces. What's everyone else looking at?

With these curved screens, those built in protectors usually make the screen unresponsive and "clicky"

That is true. I'll keep that one in mind. Ebay is full of ones from China. Um not in this climate right now lol. But before I can even start using the phones, I gotta have some sort of protection lol
So I ordered this case so I would have something to put on it until my dual screen case arrives. It was the only one that could be here this weekend. The screen protectors I ordered are a month out on Amazon. On ATT you get the phone, then register on LG site to get the dual screen case, 3-6 weeks delivery, sadness.

I ordered that as well, because it will arrive soonest, but I'd rather clear. Why put a black case on a white phone. I usually get several cases anyway.

I ordered my clear TPU off ebay for that very reason of long ship times. Did find a wet install protector that will be here Sunday tho. That's what I like anyway, not glass.

Agreed, that's why I'm going clear and it'll be here Sunday. But I did find another on Amazon (July delivery so not ordering now) that is that glitter movement one. Clear with silver glittery hearts. Think when this country gets back to normal I'll order that, I just need protection before I start using it. That thing is heavy! Coming from a G8, it's quite a bit heavier, and larger than I'm used to ATM lol not risking it. Have had in my possession 2 days and haven't even turned it on. Lol

Nice! I wrote IQ Shield to see if/when they have plans to release protectors for this device. "at this time we don't know if we'll release protection for this device" well boo on you IQ Shield. I've had them on every device since they went full curved screens (back to what, the V20? Altho that curve wasn't as severe as these latest devices, still a flat protector refused to stick) and actually dropped my G8 down a set of three concrete steps. Protector took every ding, and screen still flawless. Slap another one on and done. Glass protector would have shattered first step and screen on second and third lol

Tired out the new case. The side leave a gap between the glass protector. I might stick to the TPU case until something better.
Also. There's no 4 corners to protect the camera.

Ah very good to know. Thanks for the insight. Still waiting on my clear TPU case, seems to be stuck in IN for now lol.

I thought about waiting for the case, but just couldn't do it. I have never used a phone without a case, so it does feel kind of wierd, but I'll manage till Sunday, then the longer wait starts on the dual screen case. Why couldn't ATT bundle it with the phone like T-Mob? Ugh
I used to house my LG phones in cases made by TetDed. They are really just thin, molded shells covered with soft and grippy dead cow skin (real leather). Sadly, they didn't make a case for the G8 (either of them). I have emailed trying to convince them to make some for the V60.

I used to use encased hard shells on my phone, slide in and clip to hold together. Then when I got the G8, they didn't make one for it, and this V60 is so new that there aren't alot of options yet. Not even an Otterbox defender!

Got the case today, and must say I like it. Fits snug and has a good feel. I was expecting far less!
