Hey guys,
I am looking into getting a new case for my 6t, and was considering the new Grip Case by dbrand.
Does anyone have it yet and could give their impressions?
Thanks!
It says it doesn't ship until April. I'm also interested in this case despite the high price tag.
I had one for Pixel 2 XL, I backed the original Kickstarter campaign. It was a let down - it was very thick and bulky, and it didn't even fit right down one side of the device - there was visible 'bowing' and a small gap there. I raised a support case with Dbrand but they refused to refund saying it was by design. Put me off a bit! It was one of the first ones released so maybe they're better now, but I wouldn't buy one again/take the risk as you probably won't be able to return it.
Ordered and cancelled. Will wait and am interested. I did get a notification won't ship until April few weeks ago.
Pretty miffed that they'd advertise this at such an early stage. Pre-orders... Advertise when it's within a week of shipping at least. No further.

I get it on pre-order in April. If feel good in the hand and it's a quality product.
Is this case really that "grippy" on the sides? A lot say they are but when I get them they are just as slippery as the next.

I would not call this case grip. It not more grippy than the official OP cases.

I felt the same until I used it for a couple of weeks. Coming from the case that was included with the McLaren edition, it felt slick at first but after being in my pocket for a while and getting my fingers all over it the sides feel pretty grippy. Just had to let the newness wear off.
Nope, they will never ever have something fancy
They are great at social media, and that is it
Grip case impressions
I've been using the grip case for about a month. The case is very sturdy and comfortable to hold. Highly recommend getting a skin for the grip as the back of the grip gets scratched pretty easily. The phone feels a bit bulky after you use with the case, but you get used to it. Protection wise, it's very good. They've flattened the middle portion of the case where it meets the screen, hence it is easy to use. I've dropped the phone a number of times and there's been no damage yet.

I have sweaty oily hands, and the silicone case that came with the phone was not ideal for me. The back of that case is very smooth, so used to slip a lot. But haven't faced any such problems with this so far

I may be pressing my luck here but anyone found a snap on plastic case for the G-tablet? Or know a place where I can have one custom made?
I'm assuming your looking for a shell type case? Me too
I would imagine it may be some time before we see something like that. With all the tabs coming out, manufacturers will be picking the big ticket items and making them for those. Until viewsonic fixes issues and makes this thing hot outta the box, we're still gonna be little fish in the big pond.

I did get word that here are in the process of being made/designed and I have had pics for a week or so. Among other things, I choose NOT to bring things up until I have firm knowledge and/or have an them in hand that I can unload. For example; I don't want to say that I MAY have more docks within the week and them not show. I think it's better (and more respectful) to discuss it when it's in hand.
If your like me (and most of you are) when you see something that you want, especially something new and innovative, you WANT IT NOW!!! I am the same way and I'd rather not give false hope to anyone here.
With that being said feel free to pass the word and keep an ear to the ground. I am currently working on more docks (with extra ac adapters) and a verity of cases; leather with and without snaps as well as the 'shell' encasing that you saw above.
Again, I prefer to keep things quiet and to not have to keep up with PM's (and potentially lose any) and to not risk putting my foot in my mouth.
With that being said, I will make it public knowledge AS SOON as I have ANY product in hand that you may want. Also, as of right now; I strictly plan on selling anything I receive at my cost to XDA members. I'm not here to make any profits but only to contribute where I can. If I can't develop or help solve programming issues at least I can front some money and get stuff here for us.
Hope all that makes sense?

I am working to get anything and everything possible here is the states. From what I know those 'shell' cases aren't complete yet. I have a couple of docks and I am expecting a few leather (or PU) cases in a couple weeks. I try to lay low until I actually have firm knowledge or something in my hand as not to create false expectation.
Hope that make sense?
I would love one of those plastic shell cases. Whoever is working on these ought to consider putting some type of stand in the case, similar to the Archos 101.
Any news on this Steve. I see that one supplier has them listed on Alibaba, but after contacting them, they said they were looking for a new supplier.
Noticed that first the case review thread was deleted and now a thread about the e-crap site including a post about the review thread being deleted was deleted.
Now theres a nice confusing post. But seriously what gives?

The good folks at xda have temporarily taken the thread down for review.
This really stinks. I had that thread bookmarked so I can go over it later as it has a lot more images than the e-crap website does, as well as a great write up for each case. I hope they re-instate the thread as it was very informative for us just getting the tablet from the Woot sale.
Hmmm. Hopefully they will reinstate the thread and allow Steve to continue operating here: he has done a great deal to help the XDA g tablet community get our hands on accessories, some of which might not even have existed without his efforts.
I actually ordered something from there yesterday. I was a little leary since i hadn't heard about it before. Hopefully all is well.

I wouldn't worry about placing an order, looks as though quite a few people have done business with Steve. I plan to as soon as the latest shipment comes in.
I'm gonna take a guess that the whole thread removal has something to do with a developer reviewing and selling product. I for one appreciate his efforts and am OK with this situation, if that is indeed the problem.

I ordered from him last week. Fast shipment and responded super quick to all my questions. Overall great guy and great experience. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again. Not sure why the post was just removed as its been up for a while.
Cool. I will review the CLIP folio when I get it. Thanks guys.
I'm looking for the P4 case review but looks like the same thread is missing. Hopefully it will be back up soon. Anyone has any experience with that case?
I was watching that thread waiting for the black clip cases to be in stock. Where can I get that information now?

I'll second that.
Steve is a stand up guy. I have bought a couple of accessories from him with no problems - he was very quick in fact - and watched many others here do likewise. I have yet to see anybody write a bad word about him.
If the thread was pulled, it is most likely on a forum posting rules issue: there is actually a Marketplace forum on XDA somewhere - anybody here actually check that forum?? - and it may be that his cases thread should be in there, according to the rules.
Thing is you need several posts to even read that forum. I can't remember the last time I went there and I would guess quite a few folks in here would say the same.
Yep. I have purchased from that site as well. Fast shipping and fair prices. Plus I liked the review thread because it gave good information and was not what I would call just marketing.
Steve also posts over at AndroidTablet, and there is a review thread there as well
I'm disappointed by this as well, because I too had the thread bookmarked. I don't have enough posts to use the XDA marketplace, and I don't like to make BS posts just bump my post-count. If I have nothing constructive to say, I don't say anything. (except maybe this post )
Which of his cases are compatible with the dock without removing the tablet from the doc? Since I can't find detailed pics, based on reading the description it seems like just the clip, but, maybe others are as well?
I really enjoyed reading the updates I can't wait for the black clip to come into stock
I ordered the White CLIP, didn't want to wait for the black in case they never come in. Don't really care about the color.
Does anyone know if his shipment came in?
I am in the ATL and got a chance to run by Case-Mate's headquarters today. Got some good info. they have altered all of their Galaxy S2 cases to have 1 cutout on the top and they are now universal for the AT&T model and the European model. They have the POP cases and Tough cases ready to go. The website was not updated yet though.
I grabbed a Tough Case today. I was surprised to see it is actually thinner than the Pop and the Otterbox Commuter (they had one for comparison). It has nice rounded edges and great feel in the hand. I have tried the AGP, Ballistic, Pop and Belkin and none of them worked for me. This one seems to hit the spot. I will try and post pics later.

Guys, just call them on their 800 #. They have a whole team of CSRs that will process your order right away. I went into the call center and they handled my order for me. That is the reason for my post. They have hem available now with the large cutout on top. All their GS2 cases are now modified. I saw black and white Pop cases modified, Tough Cases modified and the Barely Theres are already ok.
I like it better than the Otterbox for this phone. The rest of my family all have Defenders for their IP4s. I am a huge Otterbox fan. I tried the Tough for my Inspire and IP4 and did not like it nearly as much as the Commuters for both of those phones. The GS2 Tough is a different story. I like it much better than the Commuter. Its thinner and has better grip. Fit is awesome.
I am on the road traveling and cannot take any pics because the SGS2 is my only camera. I guess I could takes pics of just the case an upload them.
pics of just the case will do! thanks!
I just called and also did the live chat online and both people told me that they won't be available until early November .

Here are a few pics. The case is awesome. I have been using it on the phone while traveling and its working out great. Had a co-worker comment on the fell of it when I handed him my phone. Buttons are easier to press than without the case. The case is fairly hard to install since it is so form fitting. Surprisingly it does not add much bulk.
To the poster above that contacted them. Sorry but you got an uninformed rep. The only way we figured this out was by physically getting the cases from their warehouse. I ask them to bring out the cases so I could see if I could alter them to make them work with my phone. To her surprise and mine, they already were set up to work for the AT&T versions. Pics prove it below and I did not touch this case. Hopefully you can tell. No reason to lie.

I talked to a rep and I also talked to a person in live chat, so I got two of them that are uninformed. I also sent them an email again making sure. I want to make sure I am sent the right one the first time. I am going to email them again. Do you mind if I use your picture for reference in my email?
My GF got a pink "Pop!" and it was for international version so she called and got the same sort of response. That they don't and won't have any cases except the ones that are at the AT&T store because they signed an exclusivity agreement to only sell the cases in stores or some BS. Bottom line is that they fed her the same thing, no cases for the AT&T SGS2 for a while. Whatever. Case looks good though bud, I might get one of those when they do come out to replace my Pop! as it is just a little big.
I don't mind if you use my pic at all. I will say after reading abacon15's post, I am beginning to wonder if I was the one that had the uninformed rep. She may have sold me a case she was not supposed to sell.
One more thing, my case came in the normal green and clear Case-Mate box. It was not AT&T branded packaging. No screen protector though. Not sure if it should have had one of those. I haven't looked on the website.

I get my upgrade in December and am looking to get the Galaxy S 2. I am using a Tough Case on my Inspire and love it. It has proven itself to as an extremely good case. I had it drop and hit concrete 5 times and the only thing it did was put a crack in the polycarbonate hardshell right next to the flash. I also work with tires all day and I would need this case for protection.

I emailed Carved to see if they'd be producing cases for the Nexus 6 since they currently make cases for the N5 and this is what I got back:
"We are continuing to add new products to the Nexus line. Please keep checking our site for updates!"
That sounds like a yes to me! Not sure how many people like/use these cases but their N5 cases look great in person. I got a buddy with a cedar case for his N5 and it's great looking plus feels good in the hand. They're wooden backed with a snap on hard plastic rubber edge and you can choose from a variety of design/wood types. They're not the most durable cases but if you're into cases that are borderline art, these are for you. I can't post links yet, this is actually my first post, but if you visit carved.com and click 'shop' you'll see a link to their current N5 case selection.

They're pretty low profile. I didn't have another N5 case to compare it to but the carved case didn't add a lot of extra bulk.
I have never heard of these cases before, but now I must have one. I really hope they add the Nexus 6 to their line.
Oh very nice! I'll get bamboo on my N6 after all. and they take bitcoin!!

Of a particularly relevant note here--they apparently do base what phones they offer cases for based on user demand, so it's actually kind of important to leave them a comment at http://www.carved.com/contact-us explaining why it would be a Good Idea to make a case for the Nexus 6. (One thing I did note to them is that--with a difference in scale, of course--the same template would be usable on the Moto X 2nd Gen AND the new Droid Turbo as pretty much all the Motorola phones are on the same rough body build. It does help in my case that I've built tooled leather cases for non-phone stuff, so I do kind of know what is involved in making a good case design. )

I did that as well... I plan to have my wife leave something, too. They sent me a $1 off coupon for my interest.

and a facebook post also on the facebook fan page! I want an Ironside full wood case..that would be so awesome! love their work! their art! the skateboard one and the live ones also look cool...the ebony ones too..the full ones..i don't want no inlay one...i want that full wood look!! ha...yeah...love the art!
I've never been one to use cases on my phones but these are really nice. I've been intrigued about these wood finishes since I've seen the bamboo back option for the Moto X. Might have to pick one of these up. I'll shoot them an email to help them gauge demand.
looks like it may not be happening right away...

I bought 2 solid wood cases for me and my wifes Note 3's and both cases broke within 2 weeks really bummed me out because that case always got people's attention. It was not from carved.com so i don't know if there solid wood offering would be more durable.
Man I hope they come out with some soon.
So I submitted a request through Carved's website. My submission is in bold. Their response is in italics.
First, why are you contacting us?: Are you going to make a case for...
What device do you want us to make a case for?: Nexus 6
In your most convincing voice, tell us why we should make a case for your device??: This device is awesome and is very popular! So popular in fact, that it's been pretty much sold out since its release! It's being sold on all four major carriers and I would love to see one of your beautiful cases surrounding my device. If you make it, I will buy a lot.

The case they use for the nexus 5 appears to be a ringke slim.
Such a shame that Carved still haven't brought out a case for the N6. Has anyone found a good alternative elsewhere?

Hi James,

I wanted to let you know that Carved.com asked me to beta test a Nexus 6 case on the 25th, it should be here in the next day or two, not sure what the rules are about testing it so I will confirm if I can post pics and comment on it. But I wanted to share that it is making progress.
Since the time I ordered my nexus I always had the curiosity to find out the different ways by which I could customize my nexus 6. And I am glad I bought the teak wood skinnova skin from gadgetshieldz. I have purchased this skin after bad experiences in the past from other manufacturers. But this one has surpassed them all. Right from the precise cuts of NEXUS and MOTO to the feel on the back this skin is as good as it can get and you cant ask for anything better. The packaging was also very good and this skin comes with a free screenguard which makes it even better. The skin has absolutely no trouble when used with a case being either tpu or a hard back case. I would love to see a bamboo wood skin in the list. I did order screen guards from gadgetshieldz earlier but from here on the skins also add to my shopping cart from them.
Got them from:

There's another GadgetShieldz OP listed below where you could post your skin pictures instead of creating a new OP.

Just looks like advertisement from the company... Although they do look good.

This is my personal experience after using the skin, have done similar ones in the respective threads and I get nothing out of it just as you I guess. We are here to help and inform each other. And I dont work for gadgetshieldz either.

I understand where you are coming from. I just mentioned it because there are many duplicate OP's floating around but I don't have any issue with it I just wanted to point it our in case you didn't see it. Its good to see other skins getting g reviewed beside the dominate 2 (dbrand and SW) which I wrote about. I'm interested in giving these a try as well now.
