I was searching online for cases and I stumbled upon this Nillkin branded leather case. The design simply looks beautiful and very ergonomic design for the phone.
I just have one question to anyone who currently has one.
How does the front cover stay on? Does it use like a magnet so that it doesn't randomly fling out?
Here is the case: http://www.nillkin.com/En/ProductView.asp?ID=2569
And here is my current case: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Premium-...ccessories&hash=item27c63db2e7#ht_1932wt_1139
My current case is good and I like it but I don't like how it blocks the illuminate light bar because I do use the illuminate light app for my phone. Another issue with my current case is that I cannot put in my ear phones into the jack properly.
So now I am thinking of getting this Nillkin leather case. Worth buying?
Looks like its just a flap, nothing to keep it closed.
I have it (black one) and don't recommend it, it looks really good and fits nice. But you can not charge the phone when it's in the case

Hey
just got my MoPho, looks great with that gorilla glass
wanted to ask 2 questions
1.. has anyone tried this ?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/320753226759?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
It looks pretty different from those lame checkered and diamond cases
I am fond of these light and durable TPU cases actually, has anyone tried it ?? how does it look ? the back of Photon is pretty awesome looking so want something which still allows it to be seen
2.. The glass on the photon is gorilla , so do i need any screen protector for it ?
if yes can anyone link me to some on ebay ?
thanks

gorilla glass is scratch resistant and impact resistant, but can still be scratched. Keys shouldnt be a problem, but sand (which is silicone) can scratch it. A lot of people keep their phone in their pocket, or wipe it with their t-shirt.....all it takes is a grain of sand.
screen protectors are only plastic. they will get scratched. I would recommend getting something cheap that you can easily replace.
ok about screen protectors ordered these
http://www.ebay.com/itm/320946949144?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
I agree that the TPU case i linked is expensive , but it looks different from the others.
if you prefer others then could u plz recommend some good ones ,
regards
I have had my mopho going on a year now with no protector and the glass is flawless. I use my phone ALOT and I work in a dirty shop so I can say I love the gorilla glass!
I would rather prefer a tpu case coz it protects the phone pretty well from the impact of a fall and stuff.
Guyz please link me to some decent ones.
Buttery Smooth THS15 Deviled
The phone is quite durable as it is. You don't really need any protection. I kept mine naked and it still look decent in spite being dropped several times on concrete and blacktop! I do have some tiny scratches on the glass, but the only way to see those are if I turn the screen off, wipe my screen, and try to find the scratches in the reflection. Hardly anything to worry about.

Get the SILICRYLIC if you're planning on texting whilst rock climbing, or if people piss you off a lot and make you throw your phone at something.
Okay I don't think I have to explain why I want a kickstand.
(with a couple people surrounding me and this huge gorgeous display... its easy to show off a YouTube video)
I want a Kickstand on my phone.
I don't want a bulky Otter box case. In fact I don't want ANY cases.
I bought the Clear TPU Kickstand case already.
I want to have a kickstand while preserving the Thin and Slim profile of the Note 3.
So I'm looking for a small kickstand that can be stuck on the back of the device... something that 3M could've made.
And I don't want a SlingGrip or the like... just a kickstand that opens and closes.
If I'm worried about protecting the device I'd use a bumper.
Or I would cover it up carefully in something like a 3M sheet of carbon fibre just like this guy did:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21223112
... and could use that material to fasten the kickstand tighter to the phone's back.
Another possibility is a battery cover which has a kickstand built in.
Any help finding something suitable would be awesome, thanks!
Google stick on kickstand and several come up best looking was at kickitstand.com
Thanks. Kickitstand looks good. I wouldn't want it stuck on all the time, though. I'm looking for something similar and yet different.

The KickITstand is pretty much what I'm looking for.
But:
1) Its too thick
2) Its base/bezels are pretty big
Its not more compact than the TPU Kickstand cases, so it defeats the purpose.
However, I think I found the solution !!!!
Buying a Scosche sticKICK I g4.
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/scosche-stickick-g4-for-iphone-4/
Its a thin battery cover for the iPhone 4 / 4S with a Kickstand.
It costs $14, its noticeably thin, and just a basic apparatus.
I'm thinking of getting it.
Breaking away those excess plastic parts and slapping it on my Note 3.
Just need to find out if I can pay by PayPal and if they do shipping to Australia.
If someone can help me purchase this (not money, info) or a product that's similar that would Be Awesome.

I know your primary question was about a low profile kickstand, but I just wanted to point out that if you go this route for carbon fiber that the material is actually vinyl with carbon fiber styling. It's probably not going to protect the phone from anything more than minor scratches.
Have you seen these?

It doesn't attach to your phone but I thought I would provide the option at least.
Currently have the Orzly Flexislim case and like it, but it's just too slippery. Any recommendations?
Have you checked out the MJB reviews on YouTube? He has a lot of thin case reviews that are either clear or come in clear

Just received this case today: http://www.rearthusa.com/Nexus-Case-Ringke-FUSION/dp/B00O28BPCS
And I gotta say that I'm impressed for the money I paid. The back is slick but the sides have a nice grip. Keeps the phone thin too. I definitely recommend it.

I've tried the spigen, orly, and another super slim case who's manufacturer I can't remember... I'm using the Ringke Fusion because of how slim it is, the great grip the soft sides give it, and because it looks great with a skin on it.
See one of the dbrand or slick wraps threads for example photos.

Neither are fingerprint magnets. I didn't use the Orzly long, as I recall it being the least protective case I have ever used. The Spigen was more protective and just as slim. The Ringke Slim was the best of the 3, IMO.
The Fusion is just about as slim as the Orzly. Slim enough I can't tell a difference holding it.
I'll post photos for comparison later tonight, if it would help you out. Should I?
Main issue with the Fusion, is the back seems to mark up fairly easily.
Ugh I don't like that.

Mine lives in my pocket or vacations in my coat pocket with my keys. Sometimes it lounges around on my desk / wireless charger. It sleeps on the nightstand. Pretty normal usage, I would think, and it doesn't have a scratch on it.
Do you keep sandpaper on you at all times? Just curious...
I'll take pics when I get some time tonight.

Fusion marks up easily, and is slippery especially on edges and sides and back....better than the Speigen in the button department and sliperiness...
I have this guy, and am happy with it on light-duty days with a DBrand over my Speigen and Fusion. Thin, grippy sides, translucent, and still decent button action.
Also attached a few of my Fusion

Does the LK case show fingerprints?
dinosaur1 said:

LK doesn't...for the photo of the Fusion I had to wipe it down inside and out to get it looking that good. I like the button action on the Fusion better, it is lighter and more clicky....LK is about halfway between the action of the Speigen and the Fusion-but the buttons are spaced and easily discernible by touch.
I will say, the LK was the first TPU I got for N6 then I grabbed the Speigen and Fusion on big sales....went back to the LK after getting the metal DBrand, just didn't look that good on top of the blue N6 back. Also the dbrand adds some texture to the dimple which otherwise is slick. You can just make it out in the photos above, the LK has texturized sides. LK also covers more of the margins of the screen than Fusion/Speigen, which is good for glass protectors that tend to be undersized.
OK, here you go. 35+ full res pictures of these 4 cases. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B38runv_KwLufmpHeHRNUV8tSWM1M2t6bnp4V1h0a0JabWRqNjZIZmFvaVBaUHR2YTE4Qlk&usp=sharing
First pic attachment is trying to compare sizes. Kind of hard to do, but as you can see they're all about the same width. Last pic shows the flexible TPU side of the Fusion case, all of the others are 100% hard plastic. It's this softer material that gives it a better grip than the others. Its more like gripping a rubber than a smooth plastic. Much better than the others because of that, imo.
http://youtu.be/mGylU0S5oNw
I didn't wipe off these cases before taking the pictures. Due to the lighting, the camera really picked up each little smudge. But, it is what it is.
Is there any "bumper" cases? I hate how most cases for the nexus 6 are called "bumper" but are full cases. I want something that ONLY covers the edges of the phone.
I've been interested in having skins on my phones, but I've never had a phone popular enough for companies to produce skins for them.
The HAM2 is no different, but I just found this carbon fiber-looking skin, which, as far as I can tell, is one of the few skins out there for the HAM2. Does anyone here have it, or experience with skins? Are they more protective than cases? Are they grippy or still slippery? I assume the "military grade" and "self-healing" stuff is utter BS? The case I have now is a Nillkin slim case.

I have that installed on my ipad. Looks pretty cool and would protect from scratches. Does nothing to protect from drop damage etc. Its got some texture to it so it makes it easier to grip. Three year old is watching videos on it right now. When he's done I will post a pic of it.
Well there is a crappy pic for now. Lol I have never taken it off so I don't know of it leaves a mess on the device after removal. But it has taken more than its share of abuse and is still in tact. No holes or wear and tear. And that's after three years of use. Btw the dark spot you see is water.... As my son had spilled some on the table evidently.. Lol
Here is an angle shot so you can see the texture.

Use a hair dryer on it when you apply it. Makes it a little softer so it fits better. They ate really stiff. If ya don't heat it a little it will try to flatten out and pull off the edges. I pit few on HP touchpads a couple years ago. Was a pain to get it to lay down. Heat applied and it was smooth as butter.
As you can see on the touchpad it fits nicely around the USB port. Wouldn't until it was heated.

I doubt any case will work if you use the shield. Its very thick. That's why the iPad and touchpad are not in cases. It adds a surprising amount of bulk. I know it will not work with the trident at all. Nor the gell cases. Matter of fact the trident case wouldn't even let it start to slide in. It's designed to be a stand alone protection. But there isn't any real use in putting this on then a case over the top of it anyway.
If a clear TPU case fit, then you could still partially see the carbon fiber and reviewer on Amazon implied using with a case.
If you do get it and have a way of measuring the thickness of the skin, let us know. Otherwise measure case before/after skin .

Can I use MilitaryShield on a device that fits within a case?
MilitaryShield is ultra-thin and measures under 1 mm thick. It should be compatible with most cases, but it's also possible that the combination will not fit. That's why we offer the case friendly version for our screen protectors, which is slightly smaller along the edges. Check with your case manufacturer for compatibility.
Not

Not many cases available for these ham2s. Used one on an iPhone and went through 7 cases before I could find one that fit. And it was a soft rubber one that would stretch. Crapola made. Company is always going to tell u cases may fit. Lol they want to sell product. When the wife gets home i will show a picture of hers with a case attempt... Not a pretty site.
TPU for HAM2 by Mooncase from Amazon fits perfectly. $5.99 shipped from China or Amazon prime. Read the reviews and stay away from crappie stuff.
If it fits good now it won't with armour on it... Been there done that.

Order placed, should be here a week from today. It'd be quite redundant to have the skin on and a case on as well, so I might go with just the skin if it's grippy enough. Will definitely post pics and a small review or something.
Skin came in a few days early. :good: Was annoying to put on the edges but here are some pics.
I messed up around the USB port lol.
Looks nice. What was annoying about the edges? Lining the skin up straight or the skin not sticking? Feel thick? Can you drop the phone now and it will bounce :lol: .

Lining up the edges was a pain. The instruction video made it look like a walk in the park lol. Thickness isn't much of a problem, I put my case back on to see if it would fit and it does. I'm not too convinced about dropping the phone though lol.
