Anyone know if this is a thing or will be a thing? I ordered both and really hoping someone will make something with a spot for the pen.

I am also really hoping for this. And since we'll be lucky to see this at all, I hope if it's made is has a kickstand option also.
Looking for the same.
Zero offerings on Aliexpress.
So sad that Huawei hasn't offered one themselves.
There is a case with a pen-holder on e-bay. A bit pricey, but worth it to me to be able to carry the pen with the phone.

Could you send me a few pics of the case with the phone and pen in it? How is it? Does it hold everything securely?

Case with Pen Holder
Received my Momax case with pen holder. First thoughts:
1. Just a bit over 1 cm wider, so some shirt pockets will not hold the phone. We'll see about sports coats and suits.
2. Doesn't seem to have much in the way of magnets to keep the case closed.
3. Does turn on the screen when opened and off when closed.
4. Has the same information on the cover window as other cases with windows.
5. And, finally, holds the M-Pen securely and makes it easily accessible (in some ways easier than the Galaxy Note 8.
I'm leaving on the 14th for a consulting gig in which I'll use the 20 X extensively for taking notes. That will tell the tale for me as note-taking is my main use-case for getting this phone and relegating my Note 8 to a backup.

How much did you guys pay for the case? Has any alternatives come out?
I'm hoping for something with strong magnets

I paid right around $30US for mine. Should be here tomorrow. I'm anxious to get it and curious as to how much I'll like it.
I have yet to see any alternatives. Wish there were more.
Just got my Momax case today.
Observations:
The build quality is pretty good. The actual case part for the phone is very snug. The pen fits in very securely too.
I don't like the flap cover though. It does not magnetically stay closed and it feels kind of cheap. I'm actually thinking about using a razor blade to cut it off and just use the case as a normal case. I'm thinking I can glue the back sides together. Don't know yet.
I guess I'll give it a few days using the case as is for now.
Edit: I ended up cutting the front flap off and hot gluing the back flap down on the back of the case.

I've never been a fan of flip cover cases. The cover always gets in my way, especially with larger phones.
So far, I'm really liking the case without the cover. I wish it had a little bit more grip to it though.

Hello Everyone,
Has anyone come across a Leather case/pouch big enough for the Amaze that will hold a TPU case and the phone? I have a TPU case but want the TPU to fit in the leather case like my old phone did. I have a case of the dropsies and would rather not keep it in my pocket.

Looking for the same here.

Try here maybe?
http://www.daydeal.com/home.php?cat=6230
I haven't actually bought anything from here yet.
Just tried to search up some things for you.
Hope this helps.
I have been looking other sites also. My guesstimation is that with the TPU case on the phone measures 132mm x 70mm x 18mm.
I am digging through that site now.
Thanks,
D
I bought this one, it is a carry over from my HD2. It is a bit large for the Amaze, but I use the inner pocket for two spare batteries. With my Diztronic case, the phone fits quite well.
EDIT: I suppose a URL would be nice. D'oh!

Hey stevedebi would you mind posting up a picture of this holster that you got, front and back?
I'm trying to see about the clip and/or belt loops.
The amazon link doesn't show the back of the holster.
I don't like wearing it the clip since I have a tendency to break them.
Belt loops work so much better for me.
If could post pictures that would be awesome. Thanks!

Take a look at the URL from the company site. It has lots of views. Actually, I ONLY use belt loop, and this one is great - you slip the clip over the belt and it never comes off. I was hesitant at first, but it is great.
I do use a wider belt, about 1.5 inch; I've never used it with a narrow belt.
http://www.niteize.com/collections/rugged-phone-cases/products/clip-case-sideways
EDIT: I use the largest one.
I found one that fits perfectly with the tpu case on. I got it with 3 other accessories as well. here's a link
well couldn't post the link due to not having 8 posts yet but i'll still put some pics on I hope lol.
The data cable works but you actually lose charge while its plugged in, the pouch is the best part of it and it came with a clip and 2 belt loops on the back for a belt I have the smoky TPU case for the amaze 4g. This is labeled for the ATT infuse 4g. I'll post some pictures of it here in a bit. Hopefully you can get it separate without the crappy extras.

Looks nice though with the tpu case on it.
Fits with no problems at all? Slides in and out easily?
That case doesn't look anything like the one in the amazon link though.
it was a little snug at first but now it slides in and out easily no problems at all with it. just had to break it in I think.

I think I'm just gonna shell out 4.57 (with shipping) and order this one and see how it goes.
See if it'll fit the phone with a d3o case on it.

Might even be able to sell it back on Craigslist.

Glad I could help. And on an extra note I was able to use headphones with the phone in the holster.
All I had to do was push the phone up a little from the bottom until the jack appeared.
This may only work with d3o cases because they add so much bulk.
Another thinner case and the phone might slide down to the bottom regardless.
Anybody have any luck with wallet flip cover cases? I have one that I purchased on Amazon but it has a magnet in the back that interferes with the S Pen around the area. I've never used one before this so I'm curious to see what you guys know.

Always seemed to me that the cards would damage the screen.
It's hard to find a decent one, most have magnetic closures which suck.. Spigen did the Valentinus for the note 2 which had a snap closure and was a nice case as well. Hopefully they will remake it for the note 3 in time.

I bought this Cellto Wallet Case when it was $1.99, just got it last night. The screen protector included with it was complete garbage. The quality of the case appears decent but after careful inspection I've decided that it will not hold up very long unless it is used gently. The only thing I place in the billfold is a micro-fiber cloth, no cards... That wouldn't be a good idea without a sufficient screen protector.
If I get one, I want it to be a nice leather finish with no clasp (looks like a woman's purse).

I got the brown version last night, used it today for the first time, it's nice for $14, I did cut out the top of the plastic shell that holds the phone to the case that covers the buttons, I couldn't reliably trigger the volume and power buttons, trimming the plastic worked perfectly to allow reliable access to the buttons.
Am hoping the case ages well, and looks good as it breaks in, it looks great now, supposedly they're made out of lambskin leather.
I like it...I don't mind paying $59 for it. definitely the style that I like, BUT I prefer a black color

Phone skins are really great to add style to any phone, plus they’re not expensive, but they provide minimal protection if you happen to drop your phone. On the other end of the spectrum are cases, which are generally more expensive but offer much more protection. Cases are bulky and they don’t let the beauty of your phone show through because they often have to cover all four edges as well as the back of the phone.
[CENTER][IMG]https://img.xda-cdn.com/_5bazhtzBVuyQ2jX6NcB-M-kLVk=/http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FrcYrbKD.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER]
That’s where [URL="https://rhinoshield.io/pages/crashguard"]CrashGuard by RhinoShield[/URL] comes in. CrashGuard is essentially a bumper case, which means that it does not cover the back of your phone but only the sides (thus giving your device a more “naked” feel), but because of how it’s engineered, it provides more protection than most cases. CrashGuard is far superior to the bumpers of the past because it has been engineered to absorb impact. This is done by utilizing a proprietary polymer material that is far more shock-absorbent than plastic, and it also has a protective honeycomb structure within the bumper to disperse impact properly. In fact, within the honeycombs are compartments of pressurized air that act as airbags and deflect impact energy. If that sounds really elaborate, it is, and the net result is that you can drop your phone from a variety of heights (up to 11 feet) and if you have a CrashGuard bumper on the phone, you’re going to have a completely unmarked phone. If you want to see how incredible this protection is, watch this video from David Pogue where he does everything in his power to smash his phone by dropping it from a tall ladder.

Not only are CrashGuard bumpers durable, but they’re lightweight (with most of their bumpers coming in under 14 grams). They’re also pretty grippy thanks to the matte finish, and they come in a variety of colors. Another thing we really like about the CrashGuard line is the pricing: the Pixel bumper is priced at $24.00, and you can pre-order a CrashGuard for the Pixel/Pixel XL.
Use discount code "XDAFTW" for 15% off until November 10, 2016. Check out the RhinoShield store here.
Thanks to RhinoShield for sponsoring this post and contest.
They also have $5 discount if you never purchased from their website, which is a bit better. Problem is, they only have free shipping on orders over $30 and on their website they have it listed and shipping out "early November". On Amazon, it's shipping out Monday and it has prime. So unless you plan on buying something else from Rhinoshield to qualify for free shipping, it's about the same price on Amazon and you'll get it sooner.

I ordered the bumper for $25 and that came with $5 off on the screen protector, so +20 is $45 USD so I qualified for free shipping, as well as the 15% off, so after tax (12% where I am) I paid a little over $50 CAD which was in my budget. And literally, if the thing is even a third as strong and stable as the advertised impact demonstration in their videos, I am satisfied in my use I will be perfectly safe with this product.
I also expect delivery in less than 5 days based on the tracking/shipping notice.
And I will be sure to post a review next time I get the chance to drop my phone :silly:

Me too. I dont get the value of the bumper over a case

I prefer a bumper because it doesn't cover the back of the phone. A clear silicone case always gets scratched up. A bumper also doesn't really change the thickness of the phone except around the edges.

The silicon on the bottom has stretched enough that I can fit the stock cord but I still have to jam it in there. The buttons could be difficult to press because of the skin, but I doubt it.

The edges are what drive the width which is what defines how easy it is to hold one handed

Looks like 3 1/8 inches wide on my measuring tape.
I'm not impressed so far. Buttons are really hard to press and stock charger cord doesn't fit.
I like how it looks though, here it is with the Hemp skin from Slickwraps

wow that's really wide... is that on the pixel or the pixel xl?
I cannot use it it it really is that wide. My pleson slim tpu case is only 2 7/8 wide on my Pixel and i dropped it from top coat pocket height on concrete twice already...not sure how because is don't usually make a habit of dropping my phones but it does not have a mark on it!
Just got my bumper from Amazon and i'm loving it. Stock charging cord fits with no problem and all the buttons feel great except for the power button, but that will be fine once I break it in for a few days. Combined with their screen protector everything looks perfect.
Just ordered mine, thanks for the code!
Installed mine yesterday. Now i don't feel worried when I handle my phone... Good.

On yours*
I'm not the only one who had a problem, if you look at the XL thread too.
Pixel from UK Google store.
FOR ME:
Cons:
Stock cord does not fit
Only accepts slim headphone jacks
Buttons hard to press
White bumper on white phone to me looks rubbish
Pros:
Phone is more grippy and feel less likely to slip out of my hand
Not too much bigger (this is the smaller Pixel remember)
That said I'm going to remove some of the material around the USB-C and headphone ports and keep it.
How do you find the grip on it?
I have a the Casemate Naked Tough Clear (which I bought from Telus when I got the phone on Saturday), which is nice. But's it's incredibly smooth and I don't like the feeling that the phone is going to fall out of my hand if I don't keep a good grip on it.
Of course, a useless video.
Real review; this is a cheap hard plastic case. Adequate stopgap while there are no "good" cases available yet, but will provide very little protection for the phone overall.

Dude, the Tech21 case is awesome. Offers over 6' drop protection as well and has fantastic grip. I also got the Cimo Wave and was surprised how much I like it for being just a tpu case. Slim, cheap, but also nice looking with good grip. At the Verizon store I did a test. I put the different cases on my phone and laid out in my open palm. Then I'd slowly tilt my hand to see how easily the case would slide of my hand. I think the Otterbox was about the worst. It was slicker than snot on ice. The Tech21 stayed in my hand almost to about 75 degrees rotation. Yet it still slides in & out of my pocket with ease.

I had this case for my S6 and 6P. I dropped them both with this case on and both the phone and case were fine.

The case is less smooth than the phone. I haven't had issues with it on my Pixel or my Pixel XL. It's not grippy like a TPU case, but it's not too smooth either.

tech21 doesn't look any different than spigen. They also don't indicate what material it is made out of.

Anything *can* be dropped, and get lucky. The problem is that I don't want to use LUCK as a method of protecting something that costs over a thousand dollars.

I've got a ballistic maxx on my Nexus 6, and its gone tumbling down a flight of concrete stairs. The thing bounces like an india rubber ball with that case.

They designed the material and call it FlexShock.

Proprietary name really doesn't help at all.
You say that you have one... so is it RUBBER? Is it SILICON? Is it TPU?

Best I can tell it's a hybrid material, according to their website. It has the feel of a harder rubber. It's firm, but still has some give...hard to explain. Go to your local VZW store and feel one there if you're out and about.

Ha ha! Guess that's not really an option unless you travel a lot, eh? Sorry I can't be more help. Maybe I'll try to do a video review.

I got the Rugged Armor over the one with the kick stand just because I figured the kick stand would undoubtedly get hung up in my pocket during a fiery car crash and prevent me from calling a drunk friend to come get me out of the car before it blows up.
I'm not sure of the details, but for me, it works fine. It isn't going to save you if you are careless, but if you are just looking for a case to help prevent scratches, dings, and daily use blemishes, it is fine. If you need something because you like to rage throw your phone or are usually balancing atop cement dividers on the highway and sometimes drop your phone, I'd buy a better one or take up juggling lessons.

If you're in Canada, my local Telus store (Rideau Centre, Ottawa) had the Tech21 case for the Pixel (I didn't see it for the Pixel XL, but admittedly wasn't looking). Unfortunately, it's $45.00 CDN.
I picked up the Spigen Rugged Armor and am very happy with it. It's quite low-profile (especially coming from the UAG case I had on my old Note 3) has a moderate amount of grip, and feels and looks good. And at $14.99 CDN with free Prime shipping from Amazon, it was far cheaper than anything I could get locally.

Speak for yourself. Not all of us want/need a bulky otter box style case.
I like the little design detail that echoes the glass panel, and hope more cases do the same.

100% agree
Does anyone have a good mount that they use that accepts the larger size of the Mate 20 Pro?
I am a road cyclist, so need something reasonably light + sturdy.
Hi, I've been using this. It is for 5.5", but it fits M20Pro just fine. Really great and durable. I don't have to be afraid of breaking some of its parts. I used to use some plastic holder and it breaks over some time. This is much more reliable.

got one of these, aluminium holders but not waterproof but very sturdy with pads that hold it in place https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Bicy...998&pg=2047675&_trksid=p2047675.c100012.m1985

Don't you ever worry it might not grip the phone enough? Going at speed a phone falling is generally a phone death sentence
maybe i'm late for the party but i highly suggest X-grip from ram mounts.
That's what i have in my motorcycle and even with a lot of offroading he never felt or got damage.
I can highly recommend GUB G-85 or G-81. It's cheap and really good.
I went to a bicycle shop and got a generic one. My buddy has rem mounts on his motorcycle and he highly recommends it.
