Hi all! My first few days after having purchased my OP6T, I hopped on eBay and ordered a bunch of cheap and a couple not-so-cheap cases, mostly from China with slow-as-dirt shipping (why is dirt considered slow? Ever seen a mud slide? They can be pretty quick!) Well, the first case to arrive is this Mofi fabric case and it was one of the not-so-cheap cases (I splurged and spent $12 on this one).
I'm doing a very quick mini review of this case for now and will come back and flush this out with my own photos and all when I have more time when I'm not working. What questions do you have that you want to see answered in a more thorough review?
tl;dr summary
I purchased the "Grayish blue stripe" model because I wanted a low contrast difference from the top and bottom patterns. I very much like the results. This is a very nice case. Cutouts are spot on, buttons are clicky, slider is easily slid, and it feels great in hand! The TPU has a rounded smooth surface on the sides (reminds me of the sides of an Incipio DualPro case - that's why I use "rounded smooth" to describe it). I currently own the OP Nylon case and the minimal Karbon case. I already like this case much more than the Nylon case from OP. It seems to offer similar protection while being a tad less bulky.
The case itself is made of three materials: TPU (sides), hard plastic (back inside), and cloth (back outside). There is no microfiber lining on the inside, which is a little concerning (and my biggest issue with this case).
Pros:
Feels great in hand
Much softer "fabric" feel than the OP Nylon case, which doesn't feel "fabricky" at all
Nice tight fit but easy enough to get on and off
Nice clicky buttons
Not bulky. Much less bulky compared to the OP nylon case
Tight-woven fabric that I don't think will snag as easily as some crappy fabric cases
Definitely doesn't feel like a cheap $2 case - premium enough to justify the cost
Cons:
A little pricey at $12 for an eBay case but really not too bad
Sides aren't also fabric like the Pixel cases
Silver branding is a bit obnoxious (I haven't attempted to remove it as I'm afraid to snag the fabric in doing so)
No microfiber lining on the inside of the case against the glass
This is the listing I purchased from. The seller has a bad review history but it's because of his lack of review history and 1 bad review. When I left my positive review, it bumped him from 50% to 66.7%. That one bad review is b/c the seller misclassified a listing as shipping from the US and not China. Had no problems here since I expected it to ship slow as dirt. I explain all of this mostly because I was unable to find any other sellers for this design & this one looks sketchy as hell. I had no issues on my purchase, so there's at least 1 legit happy customer with him & he's not padding his #s with fake buyers!
Here are some stock photos of the style I purchased:

Thanks for the well-written review. I'll pass on this case.

Lol, I am that bad review. I specifically was looking for an American shipper so I didn't have to wait for a month to get it. I could have ordered 3 cases for the price of one from Aliexpress and waited the same amount of time. Essentially the dude is just drop shipping from china with a markup.
I love the Mofi cloth cases. They look and feel great. I have ordered one in every color available from aliexpress for other phones for like 5$ each.

Hah! That's pretty funny!
I agree, he's doing that. However, I couldn't find this specific design anywhere else other than this one guy's listing on Ebay. Seems to no longer be available there although I haven't since searched very long & hard. I specifically wanted this design, even if I had to pay a $7 premium for it.
Also, for the record, mine was clearly shipped from China and I knew this going into the purchase. So I think he might have had an honest mistake with the listing you purchased, although that's pure speculation. No trickery with me.
I owed one of this. Even though the case is stylist but it collect dust overtime on the side. I switch back to stock case and ordered bumper case from On plus

Which bumper case did you get? I have the Nylon case and I like this one SOO much more! The Nylon case is just too slippery for a fairly bulky case.
Can you share real pictures?

Has anyone purchased this silicone case from Amazon?
http://www.amazon.com/iShoppingdeal...2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1317307713&sr=1-2
I ordered one yesterday and I'm hoping it's better than the silicone case I got from China. It's ok but just a little loose. The picture of the case on Amazon looks different so I figured I'd give it a shot since the price was reasonable.
No, but thanks just ordered it. The targus portfolio case is nice for most of the time, but I'm looking for something for around the house.
It's already sold out.
I thought it might go out of stock after people realized it was on Amazon. As stated in my op - the one I ordered from China off ebay is a little to loose. The cutouts are great but I'm looking for something a little tighter.
I can't see the price since it's unavailable. How much did you guys buy it for? Was it better than Sikai's price of $17.00?
I'm not so sure on the design. Back looks kind of weird, Sikai has a grippy texture like micro-cobblestone. Also the Sikai case comes up around the trim of the screen farther than this one. This one looks like an iPad silicone case I bought a year ago that had this thin lip where the edges are and it would fall out extremely easily.
The Sikai case isn't loose at all, it might be based on when you bought it or what color but the clear one I bought is tight as a glove with literally no probability of falling out even holding it one handed. It's very well made.
Case is $10.95 and I have Amazon Prime so shipping was free for me. Maybe I should have phrased my comments regarding the Sikai case differently. I do like the texture of the Sikai case and how much of the TF it actually covers but when I go to pull it out of my bag the edge along the face moves way too easily. Granted it isn't loose to the point of it falling off on its own but it also shouldn't come out with a minor movement - only if I'm trying to remove it intentionally.

Added by edit.
The good thing about this silicone case is it also fits the keyboard dock, given you're willing to do some cutting. So, I got 2 pieces, one covering the tablet and one covering the keyboard dock. I'll post a picture tomorrow as I'm too lazy now.
Iso, when you get it can you do a review side by side with the Sikai case and point out the differences and faults?
So I purchased the Reiko hybrid/kickstand case off of Amazon (you can also get on eBay... they run $8-15). I chose the white because I have a white note, but it comes in several other very attractive colors as well (including multi-colored versions like red and black).
Overall, I am very pleased and impressed with the quality, especially for the price. Highly recommended. Here's my video review:
Awesome video. I ordered one for my Note, but the Amazon reseller sent me a case for the SII instead. It seems like a nice case so I've ordered another one from eBay.
Thanks for the review!
You're welcome, glad I could help! Several other users on this forum have posted how pleased they are with this product as well so I'm sure you'll be satisfied with your purchase

Doesn't the rubber coating make it hard to take out of your pocket?
Thanks for the vid review! Looks interesting, although it seems to add quite a bit of thickness. Does it still fit in your front pocket pretty well or it is pretty bulky with the case on?
Yeh i have the same one, different color. I had the same one for the S II
Kickstand is a lil tricky to pop out
but protection wise, it has hi raised edges to protect again concrete or pavement slides
the rubber feel provides excellent grip
it does make the Note a tad bit thicker but i can manage it
cheap price too (got from amazon)
Is that all white tough to keep clean? especially the rubber portion
Just ordered it tonight and will post pictures when I finally get it. That was my favorite case, with the standard battery, for my s4 when I had it. Slim, rubber inside, hard shell outside, rubber ribs for grip and anti slide on the back. It never interfered with a tempered glass screen protector, as long as you installed it perfectly centered in accordance with the edges of the frame, not the home button. It's on sale, this weekend, and I'm guessing until cyber Monday, for five dollars off and free shipping via USPS. http://www.speckproducts.com/smartphone-cases/samsung/candyshell-grip-for-samsung-galaxy-note-3.html
Nice find. I like Speck. They make quality stuff.

Never used a speck case before I like the design ..how does it. Compare to a uag or otterbox commuter in terms of size/protection?
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
It's similar to a UAG in terms of protection. One layer silicone inside lining, attached to the plastic exterior.
Different then a commuter with a wrap around silicone lining with a separate exterior hard lining
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
It's smaller than the commuter. When you install or remove it, the case is all one piece. The layers don't come off. Easy to put on or take off. Shouldn't need reaming mod for most headphones. Won't slide when placed on a surface back down. Good amount of lip protecting the screen and camera. The rubber layer is slightly harder density than rubber on otterbox.
Def glad to see it out for the Note3. I plan on ordering this when 12am hits for cyber monday from the Speck website. Just wish they had the white and black version like they usually do.
I had a Speck candyshell (non-grip) for the iPhone 5s and loved it. It was hot pink and white but it was only $5. Not digging the Spigen Neo Hybrid because its way to slippery for a phone this big. The issue I see here is that it's $40.
Edit: Speck has a holiday deal knocking the price down to $35.
Edit 2: The case is now $30 after 25% off.
I love my tech 21 for my note 3, but would be interested in the Speck. I like the candyshell over the Candyshell grip though
Looks like black is out of stock.

Glad I ordered mine before making this post. Hopefully I'll get it before Friday. I'll post pics when I get it. Lots of close ups so you all can see the details.
Previous reply was rejected. I'm not going to type out all that again. My pictures and a video turned out crappy and out of focus. Long story short. This case protects better than just tpu but less than otterbox defender. It's slender and fits snug. The same quality you can expect if you've ever owned a speck case before. Grip ribs help with sliding but won't make it an effort to get out of a pocket like a glossy tpu or silicone case. Quality of build and function I give it five out of five. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for. This case will definitely be my daily driver!

Tight fit!
They are better at excluding dust than any other case in my experience. If they used a plug to cover the USB/earphone jack openings they would be better than anything else out there for this kind of protection.
That's a good thing too as being harder to put on and take off means intrusive dust could potentially grind on the finish, etc.
Bad news for battery swappers though.
Protection is good, you can literally toss it at a brick wall repeatedly and not worry about damage or even the case coming off in between throws. The grip is also far better at not showing wear/scratches from sitting on tables, etc. like the normal version. The high gloss back of the normal version will reveal marring/scuffing of sitting on tables, countertops, etc. in relatively short order.
Bulk-wise they fall in between a minimalistic TPU (Diztronic, Bounce, Tudia, etc.) and UAG with protection on par with UAG.
Its asking price is fair for the quality received.
Just got mine today and fitment, quality, etc. is identical to past Speck products.
The buttons are covered, retain their clicky tactile feel and are no more difficult to depress than the naked phone! Fit is very snug, have not tried to take it off. It feels identical in hand to the candyshell grip that I use on my HTC one. It adds very little thickness, very similar to a TPU with far better drop protection. Even with a TPU I cringe if the phone slips, no worries here. Cutouts are well aligned and very tight. The S-pen cutout is quite tight requiring a fingernail to pull it out.
The camera is recessed sufficiently to prevent issues with setting down/dropping back first on a hard surface. The overall feel is it's well thought out and does not look thrown together like some other cases that were rushed to production. Worth the $$$ and I got another five bucks off ($30 total) by using a CNET coupon code. I always Google for codes when I see it on a website at checkout. Not sure if it's still valid and the black grip is OOS now...
Amazon doesn't even have this case (yet) and to get it for $10 off is a no-brainer!
Its a nice case i love the way the button, might have the best feedback but this case is worthless, within a few hours scratches will start to form and by the 2nd week you already want to replace because of the scratches. The darker the case the faster the scrtches will appear
I didn't notice scratches with my s4 and I had the case for months. Even so, it's better for the case to get scratches than the phone.

then you must carry it in a cloth because everyone knows specks cases scratch within like 1 day like they've been in a warzone. they are great cases but they don't keep the look.
$40 for that? Ouch. Looks like it should be $19.99 to me.
Yeah I keep mine in my pocket with nothing else in that pocket.
I never liked the Speck Candyshells. They scratch up like it's no one's business. They do look real good when you take it out of the package though.
Best thing is that they will replace their cases without any questions asked

Hi,
Just ordered some days ago Huawei P10, however couldn't find thread regarding accessories.
Found today Nillkin frosted shield is available, got some misunderstandings regarding Honor 8 pictures instead of P10, however fast email reply from support service dispelled my questions.
Here is the link to their product: http://nillkin.org/index.php?route=product/product&path=113_141_838&product_id=4833
Great! Thx for sharing! Was just searching for it ^^
Cheers
Mine arrived a couple of days ago, but as I was away it's only just been re-delivered. Sorry about the image quality; My Galaxy Tab S 8.4" never did take the best pictures, hence my recent purchase of the P10.
I received two cases with my P10; The standard plastic one, and the Huawei fabric cover case. I'm not a fan of the cover case so I'd been using the transparent plastic one which did it's job remarkably well when the phone fell out of my bag onto tarmac from waist height. Not a scratch on the phone itself.
This Nillkin case feels much nicer in the hand; Slightly softer and grippier due to the textured back.
Also included was a screen protector, which I haven't used.
I paid 250THB for the case (including delivery); Approximately $7.
FYI, Im using SPIGEN Rugged armor, it feels good tho
Best case imo hands down, had same one for my previous phone Z3 and i had to get it for my new P10, that feel in hand is just superb

I also bought the Nillkin synthetic case. It's slimmer in design, a ***** to remove and offers no screen protection (money well spent), but prefer the frosted shield overall.
I kind of like the natural line TPU case from Nillkin, i usually get it for all my phones, I will get one during my visit to china shenzhen.
i bought a white one from the nillkin store for 13.07€ (incl shipping) on 29/04/2017 which arrived about 2 weeks later. i'm very satisfied with the quality. i accidently dropped my phone 2 times since arrival and the case absorbed the fall very well. the only adverse material effect is that the white will loose color when carrying your phone at your pants pocket every day. i'd recommend to buy another color.
Unfortunately, i found out lately that you get the same product for half the price. Find it here:

Have fun
Hi all,
As most of you know, I've been testing out every case I can get my hands on. It's been more difficult this year, there doesn't seem to be as much choice and companies such as Spigen have really dragged their heels on getting cases out for this community. Here it is, my top 5 cases out at the moment which will do you proud.
1. Orzly Fusion Bumper
This case I've only had for a week or so and it's already risen to the top of my list. It's absolutely my favourite and I'll tell you why:
- Protects the case well.
- Adds extra grip to the phone.
- Combo's well with your favourite skin manufacturer (Xtreme, dBrand, Slick etc..)
Overall it's the best all round case, it's nowhere near as expensive as the official OnePlus stuff and it's my daily driver on the OnePlus 5.
2. Tudia OMNIX
Another latecomer to the party (in fact I've only just published the video on this one) but a fairly decent one. This case is my "if I'm going on a messy night out case."
What I mean by that, is that it provides excellent all round protection without completely compromising the use of the phone (like a flip case) It has a built in screen protector, which if used for longer stretches could get annoying and has port covers which makes the phone better protected against those accidental drops in beer.
3. Orzly Slim Stand Case
I'm rewarding Orzly here because of all the case manufacturers they seem to be the one taking risks on the OnePlus 5. Not only have they changed up their, FlexiCase, Wallet & Fusion designs they've produced an entirely new case for the OnePlus this year with the Slim Stand case.
The Slim Stand case make's it onto the list because it's not a case that I thought I'd like much when I saw it on Amazon. I ordered it, just so I could do a review and then probably stick it back in it's box. However to my surprise I've really enjoyed using this case. It's given me the functionality of a more traditional flip case, without the annoying "flip" element.
It feels really premium in the hand and uses the phones beauty and elegance to it's advantage. It's also a really handy case for those of you still playing Pokemon Go as you can use the stand to rest your finger through when you're out walking!
4. Spigen Rugged Armor
Spigen make it onto the list, even though they're main cases are still slated for release in September. Months after the phone was released! Imagine how much further they'd be up if they'd put some effort in!
Those of you which have had the Rugged Armor in the past know what to expect. It's premium at a reasonable price and it'll do what it says on the packaging, which is add extra grip and impact protection. It help's that it looks pretty nice also!
It can be said that you could probably get the Orzly FlexiCase for a little cheaper if you wanted to save some pennies.
5. OnePlus Silicone Red Case
I initially loved this case, but my love waned the longer I had it on the phone. This is very much a "showpiece" case with little utility, but if you've been racking up those referral points, already purchased the backpack then this would be my next choice. It feels super on the phone, adds some welcome colour- just don't leave it on for too long or it'll start to fade and feel tacky!
Thanks,
Let me know if you have any questions!

I'm trying to take into consideration cost vs effectiveness. At least for me, the Otterbox is far too expensive to make it worth purchasing over any of these cases!
Do you feel the ring on the back of the Orzly Slim Stand Case, prevents you from laying the phone down screen side up because it would make the phone 'uneven'?
I really don't like laying my phone down facedown. Seems counterintuitive in my head if I'm trying to protect the screen from scratches.
Also, does the ring on the back keep the phone from sliding in and out of your pocket smoothly?
^That first point is what stopped me from continuing to use my Spigen Style ring.
