Looks interesting, hard to tell based on Glamour shots from the listing. I'd love to see some real pictures from real users.

The plastic one or the aluminum/glass one?
I tried the glass & aluminium on another device & the signal suffered, had to stop using it
I got mine for about half the price with a screen protector. Works well and look nice. But it does add bulk. Got a nice heavy slide too.

Cheaper on AliE and there are user reviews (about glass/alu ones)
Aluminium = interfere with modem signal, degrading it.
IMO it's better to aim for TPU case / armor. There are some released on AliE.
Ordered this one : https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/Cas-...uverture-en-fibre-de-carbone/32958049561.html (keyword "mi mix 3 tpu", avoid writing Xiaomi or you will find all ones for others models)
But there are others TPU style available.
no pics?
I've just put a transparent soft silicone case on mine, which I like a lot. It doesn't come with the protection this one would, but it's better than the hard plastic case that was in the box. Main concerns for me are grippiness and size, if I can grip the thing properly I'm less likely to drop it anyway.

The alu version. I did some indoor tests with the nperf app. At my location there is already bad cell signal and the case makes it a bit worse. Without the case I can complete the whole test most of the times, with the case I couldn't. Sometimes it downloaded at an acceptable rate but it couldn't upload... So there is an interference with the alu case. In a couple of days I can tell you how signal strength is at places with good reception.
With wifi there's no interference, download was the same and my upload rate was even higher with the case.
Looks: I got a matt alu black one with brushed metal buttons. It fits easy and there's no additional force needed to slide open the phone. Top and bottom of the case stick well together but I think when you drop the phone it will split open. Removing the phone out of the case can be done rapidly by removing the top frame and pushing through the whole of the fingerprint on the back. The transparent plastic back adds grip,
I think the plastic loses its transparency after a while due to scratches. The back camera's aren't protected because case and camera's have the same height
Just got this one with the SE logo
https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/Voor...46.html?spm=a2g0s.12269583.0.0.67151c9do9ZVjI
Just love it, great quality and fit.
Antenna may be on the side of the phone, that could be the reason of bad cell signal.
Side material seems to be plastic (I have a little scratch on a corner, it feel like plastic without coating) (just subjective opinion)
I hope someone will disassembling it, so we will know internal design. (I'm a little worried about battery replacement as I will keep the phone for long)
Personally, I bought Alu cases for Note 2, S7E n S7 (kinda masochism) and I always got decrease of cell/ gps signal.
Regarding that, Alu doesn't protect against shock, at best it will broke.
In worse, it may damage phone (Aluminium doesn't absorb shocks, so impact force will be transfered to phone (happened on my S7))
Mix 3 is heavy, lot more than S7/S7E..
TPU is less fashion but it's far better protection.
For the one asking for pics, I said I ordered. (Armor TPU has just been released)
Anyway you can find pics on AliE users review or product detail.
AliE sellers won't fake picture otherwise you can ask a full refund to AliE directly..
The one I discribed is from the second link. This one is fully aluminium, also the corners. The upper frame is also different from the first link. I don't have an opening in the upper frame.
Got mine Here some pics. Slider opens heavy

The case he showed I believe is a case that slides down with the screen though, so instead of the bottom being exposed, you get 100% coverage & also the slider can still operate

I don't know if you already saw this, but on february is going to be out a new official case from HTC for the HD, it's the Flip Case PO S421
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=176954
If you click on the larger photo, you can see more about the case.
One question, how the hell this case prevents from opening itself ??
I managed to score one and it's not too shabby in terms of quality vs price.
There are 2 problems though:
1. No camera hole
2. Difficult to answer phone by one hand
Then again, when it's fully closed it looks quite nice.
The way it secures itself is by using a vertical solid flap-hook-like struct, which sort of press against the hd to keep the flap in place.
I have been using this case for about a week and that hook bends a little bit, now it becomes easier to open, but I'm concerned it may lose it's form which may be difficult to keep the front flap in place.

I thought these cases are not available until end of Feb? Where did you manage to get one (which u have been using for a week...) ???
Can you post some pics with your HD in it.
Is it available for sale now anywhere?
Thanks.
I'm in Taiwan at the moment and it appears that we could get the official case earlier than other regions.
Generally, it is difficult to get the HD here as it has been out of stock for quite some time - may be margins are better overseas?

Yes, it's a pity. By the way, not having a camera hole seems to be a bigger disappointment. What were they thinking?
But for 11 pounds I'll get one for myself anyway... It seems to be much slimmer and lighter than most of the other options (I'm not considering the silicon ones to be real "cases").

I agree. It could be the the original version. Not available in UK yet
hi guys, just a quick update about this case. If you have managed to put protective layer (other than the touch screen), it is likely to peel off on the side where the flip clamps onto the device.
My is starting to show up the wear on the protective layer (as open & closing causes "rubbing effect").
I personally do not like this case for a few reasons:
1) It does not completely cover all paint work. It is still easy to scratch the phone.
2) What do you do when you need to put this GPS on the car holder? Take it out of the case? You're now completely explosed without protection again.
I prefer the silicon case. Withe screen protector in front and the silicoin case covering every other part of the body including volume rocker and power swtich, we only have the ear phone jack, usb port, and stylus area exposed, so the protection is more complete. Also, the whole thing including the soft case is clamped on the car holder. No belt loop. Just put the whole thing in the pocket (without the keys and coins of course).
Received today from mobilefun. This is the best case and cheapest. HTC has taken time to deliver but atleast they have given the best one. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The original case is EXACTLY as pictured at mobilefun's web site. On expansys web site it is written that actual product may be different from the image. The original HTC case for HD now available is actually what is shown on the mobilefun site.
Thanks dr_s and one more question, would the case hold the phone still at a viewing angle when you flip over the top part and lay it on a flat surface... like for watching something on a plane by leaving it on the tray in front of you I mean.
I've found this HTC case for the Touch HD which clips on to my belt.
Have been very happy with it, looks good, is secure and delivery was fast.
See it at http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct....category=00394707-5A1A-4D70-98A5-4CD5F1638611

Sorry for replying late.
Nope, it doesn't hold HD in a viewing position after flipping it open, because the hinge part is soft leather and it is supposed to open fully to the back so one can use it during calls by holding the open cover folded fully back.
Thanks again for the reply dr_s, 10 days for my next plane trip so no problem about the late reply Pity it won't hold it that way but I am still thinking of getting this case and I might be able to get a nice viewing angle by sticking the top part of the case between the seat and tray while the tray closed... I will experiment and report back
Thought I'd start up a dedicated thread for this case.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MJXK8VM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
At an average of under $10 on Amazon, this case is a quarter of the cost of the official case. It adds the protection of a hard cradle that the tablet sits in, which the official case doesn't offer.
Based on the popularity of the case on Amazon, I'd suggest NVidia may lose some sales of the official case to ProCase.
One thing to consider is that this case might interfere with passive cooling as suggested in https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/767648/shield-tablet/3rd-party-case-/
For that price, I'll drill vent holes in it if necessary. ?
In going to take the risk and have ordered one.
Looks nice, I have a similar case for my Nexus 7 but I don't want the back all covered up. I'm still holding out for a cover that snaps into the bottom of the tablet (like the official cover).
I kinda wish there was a really snug bumper for it with a lip that would cover the harsh bezel edges with rubbery comfort.

Yeah, they really are rather sharp. Not quite sure why they decided to go that way with the design.
I ordered one of these and it just shipped today. I probably won't get it until late next week (US holiday on Monday) but I can take pics and give some basic impressions when I get it if any is interested.

Right, it's winging its way over to me with the shield controller. Should have them in about 3 or 5 days.
Mine arrived yesterday; I got the green one. I very much like the protection provided by the snap-on case and the magnetic cover "latches" nicely in the closed position. Opening the cover does wake the tablet which is also nice.
The cover folds back but does not seem to magnetically "latch" to itself or the rear of the case in either the "keyboard" mode, the "movie" mode, or folded flat against the back of the case. The "keyboard" mode works easily enough as the weight of the tablet holds it in position but the "movie" mode doesn't work well for me but perhaps the cover joints will loosen up a bit and work better over time.
I find the protection aspect (and price) of this cover to be far superior to the nVidia case but the nVidia case works far, far, better as a stand than this one does, at least mine.
<edit> Please see additional comments and retraction in the next post. </edit>
I retract my previous statement regarding the cover not magnetically latching to itself in the "movie" stand mode. There is a magnetic clasp there but you have to fold the cover into the proper geometrical arrangement which I clearly had not been doing. When done properly, the cover does indeed snap to itself quite nicely and the tablet stands up properly for viewing a movie.
This is an excellent case and priced, in my opinion, lower than it is worth. :good:
Well I ordered the red one off of amazon, should be getting it tomorrow along with my 64GB Samsung SD card. Hopefully will have my shield next week, have to wait for Best Buy to ship it.
Update: I received my case, and I have to say I was actually impressed with the quality of the case. Much better than I was expecting. My Shield shipped already so I should have it soon.
Just got mine. Nice case.

@aznmode, yeah just got mine. Same colour as yours. It's performing great for me. I just wish the magnetic clasp was able to grab onto something more secure when it is in "stand mode". I find the magnet sometimes pops loose for me. It's trivial to reaffix it again, so for the price I'm certainly willing to turn a blind eye to this behavior.

I played HL2 last night and it got as hot as it did when I didnt have a case. There aren't really any vents on the tablet that it covers, so I don't see how it could affect it. If anything it should act as a heat sync and help with the heat.

I played Sky Force 2014 (not Tegra enhanced, but pretty graphically rich for a shmup) and immediately after ending my 2 hour session of almost non-stop gaming, I opened System Monitor (app) and my temp was 40 deg Celsius. My Nexus 7 was climbing up to about 60 deg Celsius on the same game.
How is it when you have the covert folded back but flat against the back of the shield? does it lay completely flat? Can someone post a picture if they have it please.

It lays practically flat, with just the smallest amount of rake down from the cover fabric hinge to the metal clasp.

Interested in how you fixed the buttons. That's the only thing I don't like with this case
Nice pictures. But...
I absolutely hated this case personally. Makes the phone feel huge and bulky, just cheap overall. The sides don't fit very well (bow out) -- flimsy plastic, buttons are a loose plastic mess, it's bulky and feels cheap. Just not worth the price tag when compared to other cases.
@Ellingsoc .. I'll have that video posted in a few days. You will love how much nicer the buttons become.
@Andromjb.. Was the bowing because of the way the bumper was seated on the tpu case? It took me a while before I got the fitment to be perfect because I didn't realize the two pieces weren't in place correctly
Can you explain it haha these buttons are driving me nuts
I really want people to go to the video for that info. But I'll PM you.

Could have just been my particular case as I applied it multiple ways, but it never fit 100% correctly no matter how hard I tried.
Bottom would always bulge leaving the plastic rough to touch while handling (on the upper backside area by microphone). Top was a tedious task of maneuvering the soft rubber backing to fit correctly without getting stuck underneath the outer plastic shell. Plastic sides were flimsy. Unappealing loose cheap plastic buttons which were always in the way.
I was always accidentally hitting/pressing the volume rockers or turning the screen off while just trying to hold the phone.
Just bad design, imho.
Try out a Ringke MAX. You'll see a major difference in quality and features for the same (actually cheaper) price point.
the way i put the case on was to first align the bumper and tpu perfectly. Then I would hold the left and right sides firmly and put the phone in bottom side first. Snap the top corners in while pressing the phone downwards to the bottom of the case. Works perfect every time so far!
@Ellingsoc .. I pm'ed you bout the buttons btw. Nothing shows in my sent box though. If you didnt get it send me a pm and ill respond to that one

Even in the pictures you have taken with your case, it is showing a minor glimpse of what I was experiencing. I think you may have gotten a better quality case from manufacturing or perhaps they have made stealth revisions since as mine was a lot worse even with proper applications.
See attachment below -- which was the rough touch edge I referred to from previous comments.
that really just looks like it wasnt clipped in fully. but i could be wrong.

It's just the way the case is designed. It goes on a bit too snug, so it leaves some parts a bit uneven which returns poor results and rough edges.
I'm not trying to say the case is terrible. I just want people to be informed of the certain flaws and quality before they end up spending $19+ while they have other options available for less.

just because it survived didnt make it not terrible. it was hard to put on, and once you got it on, it bulged out around the slider and kept it from working properly. nice, but flawed.

It does protect the phone. However it was so tight that you had to put so much force on the phone to take it off. The volume and home button were so hard to press, you had press really hard and maybe it would register.
dont forget the last one pulled off tempered glass screen protectors (Pulled off my curved official one which i'll remind people is £17) I was so pissed off, complained then they said there was nothing they could do and then added the disclaimer on the page saying the bumper didn't work with the glass.....never again

On my 6P, The sides of the bumper extend far enough to make it lay flat and solid on a table, which is part of the protection. Since the back is completely open beyond that, any curve will be apparent.

Agree, I had it for the 3T, the buttons and slider were really stiff and not very impressive at all, the fit was fine but that's not difficult as it only has to go round the edges, it raised the phone off the bottom nicely though and there was a sufficient lip to protect the screen, will be interested to see this new one.
Thanks for sharing! Loved the one I had for my Nexus 6, the one I used for the 3 was awful so got rid of it pretty quickly. I'll most likely be trying this one out!
Wonder how much width it adds to the phone. From the picture, it looks slim. But looking at the op3 version, it's a little too much width.
Pre-ordered today. Coupon code ready4school worked for 15%. Helps with shipping.
Took a while to finally decide on it but I really don't like any cases out so far. The phone looks great naked and I think I'd rather go that route with this bumper. Might get a dbrand skin too..

On my 6P, The sides of the bumper extend far enough to make it lay flat and solid on a table, which is part of the protection. Since the back is completely open beyond that, any curve will be apparent.

I had this on the 6p and although it was a good case, the back of the phone was exposed, when you dragged it along the edge of a desk, the back of the phone did make contact towards the upper part of the middle of the phone, not sure i'd buy the Rhino again.
I've ordered mine too, still hasn't shipped though.
I had it on my 6P too.
Loved it then.
So one more is enroute for my OP5.
Hope it arrives soon to India....

It does protect the phone. However it was so tight that you had to put so much force on the phone to take it off. The volume and home button were so hard to press, you had press really hard and maybe it would register.

They addressed that issue as far as being extremely difficult to put on and take off the phone:
Our OnePlus 5 bumpers are made out of RhinoShield's newest material!
We are excited to share that the OnePlus 5 bumper is our second product to be made out of a recently reformulated polymer blend. With this material, the CrashGuard will:
Protect your phone for longer. Wear and tear will be significantly reduced because of a general improvement in durability.
Be easier to install and remove. The new material stretches under continuous pressure and returns to its original position afterwards.
Be lighter and thinner. We can reduce thickness while maintaining our standard of protection.
Lastly, just in case you were wondering, our OnePlus 5 bumper is compatible with the official OnePlus screen protector.

this is my worry. The render show a one piece small volume rocker. Since I like the feature ''long press to skip track'', I doubt that case will give a easy touch feel.
I'll wait for the reviews.
For now, the cheap ebay bumper case with the acrylic clear back cover, is slim , nice and give a nice button feel.
Hi all! I'm pretty excited for this one, I had a CrashGuard on my Nexus 6P, OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T and always really liked them. The buttons were really stiff though and they were hard to take off again, but I think they improved both with this one. Like you already mentioned, this one will be made of their new material, which will be easier to take off. Also: There's a photo showing that the buttons are not made like before, covering the the whole phone. (See photo in the middle) They have small cutouts, like the Spigen cases, which should make them really easy to press while maintaining the clicky feel. I just don't really know how to order this one, I'm in New Zealand right now with no permanent residence. No idea how long shipping takes or how much it really costs. They have a calculator on their website, but who knows how accurate this is...

I have pre-ordered the bumper. It will be shipped after the Labor Day, so this weekend I will be able to give you my review on the bumper. As a comparison I will use my current case - spigen armor.
I have just bought this tempered glass and I think this is so much better than the official one and it is a bit cheaper and has full adhesive around the screen.

I'll quote from the Amazon page..... "has complete adhesive throughout the protector rather than the edges".
It is different to others.
This item does not ship to the Netherlands.
i'll be damned

from my point of view it would make no sense to produce the glass with ugly black bezels if they would have completely invisible adhesive for application on the screen.
I've brought this one.
It's got huge bezels (the same as the official). If you can live with that great.
It lasted 5 minutes on mine before losing part of my screen annoyed me too much.

Out of interest are you using a screen protector at all? If so which one? I've tried the Orzly (rainbow effect and dust) and also the Nilkin (full adhesion but big gaps) trying to find a happy medium really. I'm currently without a protector but using the Otterbox casing.

I'm not sure how you applied yours but I'm now into 3+ weeks with a Orzly and have had neither of the issues you mention, never did. I couldn't be more please with the Orzly protector especially at that price and still having a second one when the first eventually degrades. I used the application recommendation posted in that protectors thread. I personally could not tolerate a protector that reduced the visible screen for what ever reason.
Update: A spec of dust has gotten under the cover. Too bad as I still like the protector for its feel and protection but the spec of dust is dam annoying.
And now how to order it to Poland?

Try to find a company in Poland that provides "virtual" address in UK and after that delivers the goods in your country. I receive goods from UK in Bulgaria for only 1 EUR (when under 1 kg.) - it is very convinient.

I'm back on orzly.
Best of a bad bunch
This doesn't look very case compatible. Is anyone able to comment on this?
Very good tempered glass!
Sorry my english isnt perfect. Mine is come yesterday. I used a lot of others, but they where all disappointing in some way. (black turned into dark grey because of bad transparency and "sharp" edges) This one isnt case friendly I guess, because it protects the complete front.
+ true black colors
+ 2.5D (is quite cool for edge-smoothness)
+ easy to clean
- it isnt the thinnest glass
- makes bigger edges left/right
When you buy it make sure you buy the right one. It must be "Automatic Adsorption" version. They also sell another product where you get 2pcs of screen protectors (without automatic adsorption!).

Any chance to try it with a bumber ? Sounds like a better option than the orzly tgsp but I'll need my bumper to work with it :angel:

I've got an original sandstone backcase and I think it will fit. Mine don't fit totally because it gets stretched by the skin I have on my oneplus. :/ But otherwise I think it will fit probably
Tip : amazon will give you the money back if you have problems with it and you mustn't send it back.
I just installed this tgsp and it's amazing. Very happy with it.
It's full glue. The main drawback is the bezel. But I'm used to it.
PS: it fits perfectly with the sandstone case from OnePlus

When you say the main drawback is the bezel, do you mean the bezel cuts off a small portion of the screen at the edges? Like if you were to boot into the bootloader, you can immediately see if the text is being cut off at the sides.

Yes it's exactly what I wanted to say. But you get used to it.
