Alternative to Rugged Armor? - Google Pixel Accessories

Anybody have any suggestions on an alternative to the Spigen Rugged Armor? I'm suffering from the dreaded focusing issue and its getting quite annoying. I like the case, it has done its job many times but the issue is simply too annoying to keep the case around. I've looked at the slim case thread but a little worried about the protection aspect of a slim case.
Any ideas?

I have the rugged armor and whilst i love the case, if this is what's causing rubbish focusing in the camera i may change?
Never thought the 2 would be connected though

When taking pictures and many times when trying to record a video, it doesn't focus correctly. It will jump in and out of focus constantly.

Don't get me wrong I really like the case but the auto focus is quite an issue. When the case is taken off the phone has no issue whatsoever .

I wondered why I kept having problems but my girlfriends is fine, would explain it

Hm I have the case too and haven't really noticed it. I know that videos have a serious issue when focusing....That is a software issue, not your case. It has been happening to me since I got the phone with other cases on. It can't seem to keep focus while video recording.
Maybe I'll have to try taking pics with the case on and then off to see the issue

There are various options in the main case thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/accessories/pixel-t3475315
Here are some that seemed comparable to me when I was looking for a case:
Diztronic - I own this and it meets my interests
Caseology Vault - This was the main alternative I considered
Cruzerlite - Not really my style, but it's probably comparable to the others
My case seems to fit similar to when I received it, but there's another opinion in here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...ogle-pixel-case-reviews-continuously-updated/

i used rugged armour for Oneplus 3 and it was a great case but wanted to try something else. I bought Caseology Vault case and its similar to TPU spigen rugged armour but look and feel is much better. cut outs are little bigger and no camera focus issue.

NEARLY naked Note 3 case

http://youtu.be/WtdCb16SWTA
Ordered this for $3.41
Phone feels nearly stock with it on. Exactly what I was looking for in that it lifts up the camera so that you can set it down without worrying about scratches.
The included screen protector is the same as the $10 spigen version.
Any link where you purchased it? Did you get your on your hands yet? Does it really look like in the video? Sorry to many question, but it seems to be the one that I was looking for.

I got it today and yes it looks exactly like it does in the video. The macro photos of it made it look as thick as other plastic cases but this is definitely the thinnest case I've come across. It's pretty much scratch protection and keeps the phone light and thin.
It's on Sun sky online.

I don't see an all black case in the slim options. Is it one of these?

There you go. They have other colors as well. With this case on it feels like a naked phone with protection on the sides. I'm guessing it is .2mm thin
Where did you get the other case? The "rear slim" that you mentioned near the end of the video?

Spigen Mini Review

The Spigen Ultra Hybrid case is well constructed like all of their other products. The case features a clear back and TPU bumper. Spigen claims that the back panel has a scratch resistant coating, which I found not be very effective. I have had the case on my phone for about 4 days now and there are noticeable scratches on the back already. Other than that big pitfall, the case is great. There isn’t a lot of added bulk to it, and it looks nice on the phone. The case itself is very slippery with the TPU giving you minimal grip. I am happy with the appearance of the case, but I might have to contact Spigen about their claims that it has a ‘scratch resistant coating’. I did not notice any difference compared to a regular clear plastic case which scratches just as easily.
Now we move onto the Spigen Slim Armor case. As with their other slim armor cases this one does in fact add some bulk to the phone. The feel is nice, but the edge where the plastic back meets the TPU has a sharp feel to it that I did not experience on my Note 3’s slim armor case. The one nice feature is the large cut out for headphones and the small TPU above the volume buttons that prevents your finger from sliding onto the camera lens. This case will more than likely be my daily driver because it protects the phone rather well.
Both of these cases feature a small 0.1mm lip that keeps your screen off whatever surface you may rest it on. This of course is assuming that you place your phone face down. The cases also accommodate the Spigen Nano tempered glass screen protector as can be seen in my pictures. I hope that Spigen continues to improve their products and comes up with a better coating to resist scratches on their Ultra Hybrid cases.

Yeah, its unfortunate, but its better than a broken phone. I put "mini" in the title because its not a extensive review. The case models are Ultra Hybrid (the clear one) and Slim Amror (the blue one) for clarification.

Thing about hybrid cases is the softer inside cases starts loosing shape if you have a phone that gets a lille hot. It happens with my neo hybrid on the s4.. Just under the camera where the processor sits there's a bulge. Its because it gets hot near that area and now the back isn't flush but has a bulge and let's dust in through the camera cutout. So instead of protecting my phone the back cover is now scratched to bits. But the g3 slim armor case doesn't look like it will have that problem as the back plate covers most the back.

Any info they will make a version without antena hole ?
Just received email from Spigen
They probably will make the not-with-hole version
Supcase makes the same case as this, without the antenna cutout. Based on another user's feedback on one he got for his g3, they have a great fit. They also have good reviews for their other cases on amazon. I ordered one in clear/gray.

Is the lip enough high to protect the screen of G3?
Does the ultra hybrid case have the scratches resistance?
And....I saw the post that Spigen have some plans to make the case without antenna outlet.

It is supposed to but due to the lg g3 being rounded it can't have feet to prevent scratches. Thus it scratches very easily o have tried 2 of them just in case the first was defective , but both scratch easily.

Yes it's the standard lip spigen has for all of the cases (neo hybrid, slim armor etc...) Its plenty to protect the screen.

Not sure where to post this, but here it is. So I've seen this question around, because I had the same question. But was wondering if Spigen had a US version of their Slim Armor case (no cut out for the antenna) for the LG G3. From pictures and information I've seen I didn't really see much. But I went ahead and ordered one off amazon anyway because I liked the design. I just received it in the mail today and opened it up, and found that it's a US version. It does not have the antenna cut out. Needless to say I was ecstatic, and figured I would post this for anyone needed such a case.

Nexus 6 UAG Case - The Good and the Bad

The Good:
-Protection similar to the Otterbox commuter
-Lightweight
-Easier to slide in/out of pockets than Otterbox cases
-Buttons are tactile and responsive
-The edges have the most protection, because usually when you drop your phone it lands on it's edges
-Comes with a free HD screen protector
-Looks gorgeous
The Bad:
-Flash has some knock-back
-The microphone on the LED ring is covered
-Power and Volume buttons are covered, but there are slits on the side so lint and dust might get trapped in there
-UAG logo covers half of the Nexus logo, but you can pop the logo off easily
-No port covers
totally agree with everything you had to say about the uag case. same case i am using for me and my wife.
i do like the case and it is giving me the protection needed.
i really do hope that uag releases some more colors and when they do fix the camera issue so that you don't get ghosting on some of the pictures.
overall very good case, feel very safe with my nexus 6 in it.

Yes, overall a good case. Much better than my Cruzerlite bugdroid one I was using before, couldn't drop my phone from 3 inches using that.
I just got mine and the flash is unusable. I'm keeping it, I widened the flash surround with my Dremel but for the price I think it's unaccept. Seriously, how did uag release this with such a major flaw?
Also, is it possible for the mods to somehow combine the uag threads? There are 3 or 4 at least.
Probably designed and made the case based off CAD dimensions. Never actually tried it in a real phone.

Are you talking about the Cruzerlite? Those cases can take a large drop without hurting your phone. Check out the YouTube video with the Nexus 5 and a Cruzerltie case if you don't take my word for it. I dropped my LG G3 F460S in a Cruzerlite case down stairs over the summer and it was fine. I did break a TG screen protector when I dropped my G3 and it hit a sizeable rock but the phone itself and screen were perfect. TPU cases absorb a lot of the impact and help save your phone. I haven't bought a UAG because of the camera flash issue and the lack of color options but maybe they will release more eventually.
I have one on the way.
Not concerned about flash at all. I never use the flash on any phone EXCEPT for the purpose of a torch to see something.
The mic being covered up may be of concern, however.
That's something a well focused 1W 405nm laser can take care of, however.
All I want is something that will prevent the phone from getting wrecked if one of the kitties gets under my feet while walking down the spiral stairs and I have to toss the phone to grip the railing. Don't laugh, happened in the past and my Otterbox Commuter (on the S3) saved the day!
Don't have (enough) faith in my favorite (Diztronic thin TPU) case to give this kind of protection. I did drop my Note 3 from about six feet with nothing but the Diztronic TPU, fell onto concrete floor with zero damage. Case had slight scuff on corner. If that phone was naked it would have been dinged good so...
The Nexus 6 is pretty heavy so it needs some protection against drops. I'm careful but apparently not careful enough. Taking it on the ATV trails it's going to be well protected. UAG is about as good as Commuter and Speck for class of protection. Speaking of Speck it saved my HTC M7 from a 9 foot drop when getting out of a tractor and it fell onto gravel. Case scratched all to hell but phone was perfect!
How did you pop off the logo?

I just used the tip of my pocket knife.
To avoid damaging the plastic you will need something sharp and thin. I used the tip of an X-acto blade and it worked fine. Take your time! The letters peel easily once you get it started. They can be re-applied if desired.
Also I have no issues with using the flash with the case on.
If anyone has one that's having issues, try measuring the diameter of the cut out. I would be curious if they revised it.

It would be interesting to see if it was revised. If so hopefully the newer ones are at Amazon where I ordered mine from. Where did you guys order yours from, Amazon or directly from them?
I use the flash so rarely anyways it doesn't matter to me too much. Seems I get glare using the flash when I don't even have a case on.
I ordered mine from amazon and it definitely had flash issues. I would think it's pretty easy to see if there is a problem, it was incredibly obvious for me. Maybe some cases and/or some phones don't have an issue?
I got mine from Amazon last week and definitely do not have any flash issues.
The cutout looks very close to the rear mic.
Tonight I'll fire up the SLR and take a macro of it and post it.
I've had cases in the past with flash issues and can immediately spot them.
This isn't one of them.
It could be a revised version.
If possible could you post a picture of the back of the case with your phone in it? I'm interested to see if it's possible to spot the difference?
Don't know about ghost affect but the case is great. I took few pics in dim light. No probs.
I got mine today. It does seem like the black ring is really close to the camera and almost completely covering the mic by the camera. I don't know how I can tell if the mic is an issue or not. I'll be testing the flash to see how it is also, but I'm not sure if that'll be a dealbreaker for me since I rarely use it.
Ghost effect does exist. I contacted UAG guys, they said , the case will be exchanged with the revised one. But they also said please contact after 3months.

I applied it, perfect (I thought) made the error of using a spray of water (usually helps with movement ) but I ended up with a halo just over the screen, good job there's a second, doesn't appear to be any or much glue on the screen part itself, with the screen on its not noticeable, it's possible there's some moisture left, I'll leave it for a day.
Touches are a little hard to register but that'll be moisture also, I'll see how it goes, if it stays like that then I'll do the second one dry.

After the day, what I initially wanted to happen, has happened and the water has receded to the side after a little pushing, no bubbles, no hair's / marks / dust.
Protector seems quite thick, this will live with a case with a lip i have no doubt about it. I have several cases I could try, the protector is really stuck down and with the right amount of leverage you could get it covered by the case.
At the moment i have the karbon from 1+ which i prefer to use as i don't drop my phone very often and it's very slim.
Will see how it goes.

Didn't see my colleague yesterday, there is a way you can usually lift the inward lip on a case to clear the TGSP, I've always managed to get them on, Tech 21 have some of the strongest lips around and yet i've alway managed it.
Haven't heard anyone talk about them for the +5, will have a look, I'll enquire too, they make great cases.
Will let you know what one my colleague has tomorrow and i'll try it out, if i get it on i'll let you know the method i used
Fingers crossed (have a spare lol)
That screen protector went on perfect but I have to say in sunlight it's completely crap, seems to have a matte like haze over it, makes viewing the screen quite hard, can turn up brightness but that'll impact battery, guess I'll be looking for another.
Shame as it does allow any case, tested with several hard to fit cases, seems tough as old boots and in lower light it's really good but in day light it just makes the screen look dull.

1st Screen and phone protector combo

Picked up the McClaren 5g version from T-Mobile yesterday, and I'm in love with the phone, throughout. Beautiful design, hardware, software. Everything.
I wanted a protective case however did not want to cover the beautiful back.
I figure the combo is cheap enough that I can get something else if this doesn't fit my needs.
Anyone else tried either of the two products?

What combo are you referring to? (No link or images provided.)
RhinoShield has the Crash Guard bumper & a clear skin for the backside (screen protector also available).
This combo definitely fits what you're looking for.
As with all of the Crash Guard bumpers, it adds quite a bit of an increase to the overall width of the phone. If that isn't a factor one way or the other, I'd say you need to look no further.
I'm sure there's some aluminum bumpers available from eBay & the like, but, they offer little to no protection & likely have an even more uncomfortable grip vs the included case or, the RhinoShield Bumper.

THX for posting the pix. :good:
There's several different mfgs with this design to be found on Amazon/e-Bay/Ali Express, etc......
I like the idea of clear cases in general, but, most seem to have some nagging traits....
The rainbow effect comes to mind right off the bat, as well as being a fingerprint magnet.
Most don't wear well after a few weeks of use, with scuffs/scratches.
A matte clear case may negate most of the above, but, likely will obscure the true appearance of the decorative backside.
I've seen some all-glass cases, encasing the entire phone, front & back, might not be a bad way to go.

I've had luck with uag clear cases, however, as you know they aren't truly 100% transparent and clear due to their honey comb pattern design.
That all glass case is a pretty interesting design, never seen it before. I wouldn't imagine it would look as good after 3,4 drops compared to a plastic /poly case.
I'm definitely not opposed to trying a different combo if this one doesn't work, as it was less than 20 dollars. I did look into the dome whitestone glass sp, however I'm opposed to applying an actual adhesive to my screen.
Any other decent glass sp that doesn't require adhesive?
Here's the case. After closely examining the edges of the phone and case, I am not sure this screen protector will be compatible as I will interfere at edges and pull up.
The screen protector and case fit perfectly. A bit different installation method then what I'm usually used to, but got it perfect on the second try. Very pleased.

Here is the install video
Here is pic trying to show the case edge and sp slight separation. A bit hard to see, but at $8 for 3 sp, I'm surprised by the quality of the sp.
Update.. I've been using the 7t pro mclaren case with the sp and fits flawlessly

Your case isn't even compatible with the phone. You are covering the laser autofocus area on the back. The 7 Pro cases don't have the necessary cutout. You need a 7T Pro case.
I know this was already addressed in a different thread. No longer using that case. Now using the one that came with the mclaren.

I will get my OP7T Pro in two weeks and I'm going to buy exactly this combination. I am curious if everything fits.

It fits nicely like it is made for each other. it has maybe 1mm gap between the glass protector and case.
