Purchased on amazon. 5500 mAH battery case. Brand is Iconic but it looks like on Amazon, many companies are selling the same pack just branded differently. Easy slip on and slip off, USB Type C to charge the pack as well.
Short video unboxing and comparing to standard S8 Plus with OEM Samsung Cover https://youtu.be/yZ_FLBJ8ydo
At the 35 second mark there's some knicks and marks on the screen protector, is this screen protector the soft variety where running your nail on it will leave marks? I was really thinking of getting this but i remember i had one of these soft screen protectors before and after a while it looked horrible with all the grooves on it.
Look at the view at 3:44. I can't do that to this lovely piece of hardware.
I hope that the quality is good, the price is the best . But too much bulk. 3000 mAh extra is more than enough for me. Wanted the Mophie but after the misleading "release articles" I am more attracted to this

Considering Verizon doesn't sell a decent case for this phone, this is the best alternative as of yet (hard to find ones that fit the VZW model perfect, THESE DO). I have the red one and pretty satisfied with it overall. Have used it for a few weeks now, makes the slide a bit tight but took it off and saw no damage to the phone. See link below for colors and textures.

screen protector?
Does it have screen protectors in there as well or just open spaces for other protectors?
It looks pretty good with a good amount of colors/styles to choose from for a relatively good price.
Are you spamming? You made the exact same post over at PPCgeeks.
i have the skin case, its good. I recommend. Will save on the drops and sliping... Could be better, but with slide design i dont complain. One issue is charging the touch pro with mini-usb plugs...got to take cover off some times.
I went to Seidio to get a snap on case. It fits perfectly and I do not have to remove anything to charge, even with other mini usbs. It is a little expensive, but I bought a cheaper one that put pressure on the touch screen and it screwed up using the various programs. Much happier now
I got two snap on cases, one black one clear (which is just awesome,) a car charger, wall charger, windshield mount, and laminate screen protector for $24 on Ebay shipping included... AND, I got one of the more expensive packages.
$13 for one case is, imo, a rip.
EDIT: I deleted my post..
Has any one tried this on the att note and is it worth the $25?
SPIGEN SGP Samsung GT-N7000 Galaxy Note Gel TPU Case Ultra Capsule Unlocked (International) Version ONLY [Infinity White] (FREE Best Steinheil Screen Protector Cover Film Included)
Yes, it's a beautiful case. Especially in white
If you don't feel like spending the $25, or care about the (awesome) Steinhall screen protector, you can drop $8 on a Mercury TPU. Similar fit and finish, without the SGP logo and price tag.
Only real difference is that as Mercury cases are manufactured in Korea, they have holes for a One-Seg TV antenna in one of the top corners
Neat way to save a few bob, though!
I picked up the bright green one a few weeks ago. The fit is the tightest I've seen in a TPU case and the material feels quite a bit thicker than lower priced TPUs I've used on past phones without adding noticeable bulk. All the cut-outs are perfect (even the top mic) and the plug cuts accommodate larger than stock USB cables and headphones.
The included screen protector is pretty nice, on par with my past experiences with Steinheil.
I don't know that it's worth $25 when most TPUs are 1/2 that price but I'm not at all unhappy with it. My only complaint is a small cutout around the top right corner that serves no purpose on the AT&T Note.
First off, I'd like to say sorry. That video was way too long. Maybe I've been downing too much cough syrup. I don't know how I could talk about one case for that long...
Since I started reviewing Trident cases, they have been always been at the top of my list. Their construction, attention to details, features, durability, and colors are what attracted me. Plus everything is reasonably priced compared to other name brand case manufacturers.
The choices used to be easy with Trident. If you wanted the highest protection available, you'd look to the Kraken Series. I compare it to the Otterbox Defender case. Taking a step back in protection to lower the bulk you could go with the Aegis. This is similar to the Otterbox Commuter case. Now Trident has more series. With the HTC One Max there was only one choice though. The Cyclops series.
This series has a lot of great features. I like the dust ports, the ease of sliding in and out of my pocket, the compromise between bulk and protection, and fairly pleasing design. It does include a built in screen protection, however I prefer glass screen protectors. If you decide to bring your own screen protector, you can always remove the built in one.
As demonstrated in the video, it can work with wireless charging IF you have an aftermarket QI receiver like mine.
Below is a list of features from Trident's website.
FEATURES
HARDENED BIO-ENHANCED POLYCARBONATE SHELL
SHOCK-ABSORBING TPE

I couldn't find much information on this case, so I went ahead and bought one. It was only $6.99 on Amazon so if I hated it I wouldn't be out much money. Please excuse the quality of the pictures. They were taken with my Note 3....
Here's a link to the case on Amazon if you want one:
http://www.amazon.com/Google-Nexus-...1442870153&sr=8-3&keywords=GMYLE+nexus+6+case
PLEASE NOTE:
I am NOT affiliated with GMYLE at all!!! I'm just trying to post some useful info for my fellow Nexus 6 owners that may be on the fence about this case.
First impressions:
The packaging was pretty uninspiring. It was in a cheap plastic bag with some GMYLE branding. Upon removal it felt very cheap and low quality, but what do you expect for $7? The piece that holds the phone felt pretty thin and flimsy and I was worried about cracking it when inserting my phone. After getting my phone in safely, I realized how much bulk this added to the phone. It feels twice as big and requires two hands to use safely. The cutouts in the case lined up properly for the buttons, headphone jack, microphone, USB port, etc.
Looks:
This case looks classy as hell. The world map design looks a lot cooler and than the plain brown design in my opinion.
Features:
The ID, credit card, and money slots are very handy, but after transferring the contents of my wallet (ID, three cards, and a five dollar bill) the case was about twice as thick as before and barely fit in my pocket. I watch a lot of movies on my phone so the stand feature is very handy.
Phone protection:
This case feels like it'll protect my phone from short drops onto carpet or the rubber floor at the gym. For drops onto concrete, hardwood, or tile I don't think it'l perform as well as my Ringke Max and may result in a cracked screen or dents/scratches.
Complaints:
There was a glue like substance on the "spine" of the case that wouldn't come off. Rubbing on it just discolored the fake leather and didn't phase the glue at all. The plastic bit that holds my phone feels very thin and like it will break if I try to remove my phone. If I use the flash while taking a picture it "bounces" off of the cutout in the case and causes a blur around the edges of the picture.
Conclusion:
This is a VERY nice wallet case for the money. It even comes with a one year warranty! I've only had it for a few days, but I like it a lot so far. I'll update this thread when/if this case falls apart. If you have any questions post them and I'll do my best to answer them.
Pictures:
The % of people that gave it a 3 or less is 43%. Not exactly confidence inspiring.
For those with $45 to spend on a wallet case, here's the real deal: http://www.ebay.com/itm/genuine-rea...ury-premium-/381110007692?hash=item58bbed378c

This is by no means a long term or high quality case, so the low ratings are understandable. I bought it just because the world map design looks boss and the stand feature is handy for watching movies.
To be honest I'm thinking about ditching this case. The flap is annoying, it barely fits in my pocket, and I have to remove my phone from the case if I want to take a picture with the flash.
The map pattern looks good for the low price, is it heavy? I don't want to add too much weight to the phone

I have no idea of the exact weight, but it's definitely not light. It adds a noticeable amount of weight to the phone.
I got this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00STQD9PU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00
While I like the idea of having everything in one piece, it does add a significant amount of heft and weight to it, especially since it's a bi-fold wallet. I still use it occasionally.
I had the GMYLE case for a few weeks (plain brown, before worldmap was released), and I loved it. Combining the phone with wallet was pretty awesome. My main gripe with the case was that over time, small parts of the phone case part (plastic) would chip off, eventually to the point where the case would no longer hold my phone. Before this, I had the Spigen wallet case, which wasn't bad, just the magnet strap thing was getting a lot of wear (always hitting my pocket on the way in).
Now I am using the Vena that jbr05ki posted. I like it a lot. The magnet seems more durable than the Spigen one, and the tri-fold design is nice to have. Overall, I would prefer the GMYLE due to the strapless design, if only the phone case part of it was made of TPU.
*EDIT* Also, forgot to mention that I have had two glass screen protectors, and using the wallet cases seemed to crack both of them...not sure why though, since I put the phone in my front pocket and not my back...

I wanted a REALLY slim wallet case, so I went for the Nilkin sparkle black on Amazon. At $15 USD, it was cheaper than the $40 leather alternative that caught my eye...

I purchased the subject case (search ebay on that title and can see what comes up). It is the Huawei specific huawei labeled case. It was 34.95 and arrived faster than I yought it would (2 weeks). I know there are other cover and flip threads(s) but this one is different (for me at least)
I have had many larger phones from the original the old mini-tablets. I went "small" on the OnePlus6, but it is pretty good size and a good company (for mod'ding etc.), but have bounced betweem Huawei (Matre 9) to Xiaomi (many Mix's and Max's). My one real requirement is a good cover case so I can drop in my front pocket and keep it covered and preferrably not pull too much crap out when I remove it. That and I need to get to the figerprint sensor without diving through thick layers of pseudo-pleather.
I have typically been happy with the Niilkin cheapest cover case (thin, thin, thin) and if it wears our in 6 months, oh well.
We'll the mate 20x hasn't been in circulation that Niilkin even had a case, so I actually cut out a Xiaomi Max 3 case for the right cut outs as a temp.
Then the Huawei Flip Cover Window case came in. Like I said thin and cheap is good enough for me, but .... wow.
I have never really been this happy about a case. perfect fit of course. Nice smart cover (time and foot count, better than my typical no window cases), and amazingly easy to hit the finget print sensor. It looks good and just works. And despite being thin it still has a kickstand. Does it cover the beautiful blue phone. Yes, but I always had and liked black phones .
Yes $35 is more than my typical $15 but worth the extra $20 easy. I already ordered a second if/when I wear this out.
I'm a Happy Camper
Does the case have any magnets anywhere? I know the other kickstand case has a magnet on the back, which makes me hesitate to use it. Magnets and electronics don't mix imo
Unfortunately for your concern, it does have a magnet to keep the kickstand back attached when using as a typical cover case.
Since it works with the smart cover setting, I assumed it has another magnet also.
