Very nice Tridea case

I've searched high and low for a case that suited me and my Note and eventually found a very nice case from Tridea on eBay. I received a couple of days ago and think that it looks and performs great. You can find it by searching on Tridea.Essentially it's a hard bumper in a nice sort of faux suede flip case. I went for the gray version.
It's a bit pricey at £25 and it took a couple of weeks to arrive from South Korea but I've yet to see a case that looks anywhere near as good for the money.

I just bought one too! It should arrive within a week, I got the same color as you did. I'm glad you like it, because it makes me more excited to get mine

I wanted this case more than most others but my number one issue with them all is that very few have a cut out for the ear piece!! not even a notch, i want my face oils off the screen and not have to hold the flap back on a call, simple design i would think, sigh.

I love this case, I bought the grey one as well. I do wish it had a hole for the speaker though.

Hmm, the front flap does fold round the back when using it to make calls and even gives a bit more of a better grip on the phone so I'm not that bothered about it not having a notch for the earpiece.
lamou1nr: As far as a hole for the speaker goes, it's got one but I guess you meant the same as Mrglass86.
I like the case because 1) it looks good 2) it's very light 3) it offers good bumper protection with the addition of a cover for the front that also keeps the screen clean. 4) it feels really nice and solid without adding a load of bulk to the phone.
I don't see the fascination with the aluminium bumpers. They don't look as though they'd offer any protection in a drop.
I like some of the Zenus cases (it was either the Tridea or the Zenus Capsule case) but they're expensive and the diary types just seem like a bit of a gimmick - would you really keep your cash and cards in the same case as your Note? Not me!
Until otterbox or a similar maker comes up with a really tough aluminium case I'm happy to stick with the Tridea.

If you fold it too often it will eventually get loose or have lines along the edge. Another issue with all such book-like case is that we cannot use our thumb to operate the phone anymore.

Just ordered it. I hope it'll arrive sooner than expected.

Anybody bought this kind of Tridea case? Available on eBay for $22.

Wow I dont normally like flip cases but this one looks very nice. Not sure if i'll fork out for one as i've already got cases for it but can you guys post pictures when you get it, i'll get a better idea than from the ebay pics

Just thought I'd follow up on my OP. I've been using this case for almost a couple of months. The phone gets a lot of use by me and is constantly being taken in/out of my pockets. I'm happy to say that the case is holding up well. I think that the 'spine' of the cover would be the first part to go since it's the part that gets the most stress.
After two months the fabric along the spine has been smoothed but doesn't look bad, kind of what you'd expect really, it 'weathered'. There is some very thin rubber edging that runs along the edge of the whole case and this has initially split on the spine hinge area but it has only come off in one tiny section. It's hardly noticeable.
The main thing is that it's protected my Note very well. I don't expect a huge lifespan from it (at least the cover) but the bumper around the note will last. I may utilise a bit of gaffer tape to strengthen the spine and you could do this without spoiling the aesthetic if you do it properly. I may also use some rubber spray that I bought from Amazon which is really useful stuff (it coats whatever you spray in a matt rubber coating). One last thing to mention is that some people were bothered that you couldn't get to the volume controls while the case was shut, well you can press the rocker through the spine without any problem so you can use the volume control even with the Note in your pocket. I'll update this if I notice anything further degradation but all-in-all I like this cover a lot still.

My case has also held up reasonably well. It provides great protection. I too had the rubber on the edge ware off but only on the "hinge" of the cover. The only other part that is showing signs of age is the metallic plastic piece that is on the back, it has a few scuffs and a chip. For a flip case this is one of the best.

[Review] Woodchuck Wood Skin (Ebony)

I've had this product since mid September(2013), and after a summer of switching around and trying many different cases for the HTC One I never found one I truly liked until coming across this beautifully simplistic and elegant product from Woodchuck.
Using only the backing gives you the satisfying naked feel of the handset while adding a nice textured surface on the back for added stability/grip while holding the handset in comparison to using the HTC One without any case or backing, I found the aluminum to be very slippery to hold.
The only downsides of the product is your handset will be more prone to dents and other aesthetic damage leaving only the back of the phone protected from scratches. If you're careful with your handsets, this isn't an issue.
The wood back is made out of locally sourced Ebony wood in the USA. Each piece is laser cut, hand sanded and finished in their Minneapolis workshop. The product adheres to your phone with 3M™ Brand (Non-Residue) Adhesive.
Overall I would rate the product 5/5 Stars, I really love it and it's always been a conversation starter when people see my phone.
To be noted: Over time the edge of the product(on the left and right side) peels up very slightly leaving a half MM gap. It's unnoticeable unless you're looking closely at the handset.
To any future owner of the product, I advise wiping down the back of the phone with rubbing alcohol before applying the backing to ensure the adhesive sticks well.

The product comes in two different veneers available for the HTC One.
Woodchuck also caters to various phones, tablets, laptops, headphones, and custom orders.
Price is $19.99

My main question, does it smell like wood? That's the only reason I'd buy a real wood skin/case, next to texture.

Yeah, of course.
It's made from real wood as stated in my review.

I think it looks great and love that it is real wood:thumbup:. My problem with it is it doesn't cover the entire back, to me it looks incomplete.

Looks awful imo does not go with the metal. Should cover the whole back and it wouldn't look so bad. Prob look better with a light wood like pine.

[User Review] Amzer Pudding TPU Case Black For Moto G

I initially looked at the flip case, but having had a go with a friends, I didn`t like the `flip` when making a call.
I started looking round for alternatives and spotter the Amzer Pudding TPU case.
I wanted something with protection all the way round the phone. I`ve seen several where the corners are exposed. Dropping it on a corner is something I had with an old phone and it immediately cracked the glass, so a fully enclosed cover was top of the list.
This has a `rubberised` texture and in use, it certainly feels grippy. The edges are sticky enough so you won`t drop it easily, but not so bad that you can`t get it in and out of your pocket without it `grabbing` the material. :good:
For £6.50 delivered, I really can`t complain. :good:

Full edge coverage

Neat cutout for the headphone
Camera & Speaker cutouts
Power and Volume controls are covered, but they are easy to use and I haven`t struggled to press the buttons at all.

By how much does the thickness increase..
i know its too much to ask but if u ever remove the case can u post pictures of case and bare mobile side by side
btw i have never used a tpu case..its is rubbery flexible or plasticky...i have heard that its a combination of both

But a drop of more than 2-3 feet would probably still break the phone. To get better protection, one should have a case with thick rubber bumpers on the corners like the Trident or Ballistic case. But of course, it wouldn't be as pocket friendly.

I have this case and dislike it. It adds too much thickness for me, but about what you can expect from a TPU case. I buy cases for scratch protection rather than drop protection. I hate the glossy bezel and just wish they had that same back finish for the entire case. The finish of the back is nice since it doesn't pick up fingerprints. The last thing I can't stand is how small the usb connector cutout is. This can probably be fixed with a knife, but it still shouldn't come like that.

is it sturdy material or flexible that it can be like silicon cover in the ease of putting/removing the phone from it?

It is not terribly difficult to put this case on or remove it. One of the best features of this case for me is the matte back section which greatly improves grip and the button molds in the side.

Every time I use a heavy-duty case though I end up removing it after a few months and using a less-protective one because of the bulk, tpu cases seem like an "OK" compromise (or at least I hope).
I've been eyeing the Cruzerlite bugroid ones since watching this IRL drop test (nexus 5) video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY9Svj9fYVg but the Amzer one reviewed here looks very nice :good:

isit a good alternative for the gripshell?
I need a bumper what do you suggest?

It does provide good protection but makes the device look dull. I guess I'll have to buy something else for my wife.

Its very cool, but its expensive. I'm from Spain and this price is elevate for me.
Enviado desde mi XT1032

This was the only tpu case available when the phone first launched online. It is a durable case with good protection, not too bulky. Offers good grip. Overall 7.5/10.

After much ado I finally decided on this case, bought it, received it, liked it at first. Then I had it in my pocket for a day at work.
Took my phone out of my pocket and the screen was covered in little waves of dust. And it had gathered up around the edges. Even had a small piece of plaster or something sticking to the screen.
I work in a dusty environment but this is ridiculous. I didn't have problems with my 3GS or Lumia, and though the bareback Moto G's screen seemed to attract a little more dust than those... This case is a DUST MAGNET.
I wish someone would have mentioned that in any of the dozens and dozens of reviews I'd gone over.

DISCLAIMER:
Just to be sure, I’m going to say beforehand, if you don’t already know, these are hardcases! With that in mind, know that these cases will not protect you from a drop! Scratch and scrape protection only!!
If you are the type that drops your phone, DON’T buy these cases.
If you do buy a case and drop your phone, and something unfortunate happens… DON’T blame me!

On my seemingly never ending search for the right case for every occasion, I stumbled upon the Painted “Lichi Grain” Hardcases. I am assuming “Lichi Grain” means leather look. Google search comes up with “Litchi” while every case of this style is “Lichi” so I don’t know. Maybe it’s just universally spelled wrong… who knows.
Anyway, these caught my eye for 3 reasons:
1) They are hardcases, which for better or worse, satisfy my minimalism addiction.
2) They have a neat texture.
3) They have painted pictures on them!
So, I decided to have a look through all of them and test one out. There are 20+ different designs to choose from. Some case designs are clearly meant for kids, some for girls, and some just weird…but I’ll hand it to them, they have a little bit of everything. I narrowed it down to the Skull, the weird anime Mario (not sure where I would ever use it!), and what I eventually settled on, which was the stylized Superman symbol. I figured I couldn’t be a grown ass man walking around with an anime Mario case… as much as the nostalgia was hitting me hahaha.
Presentation:
When I ordered it I was expecting the typical envelope with the case just wrapped in foam or something, which is generally how it is when you order something from overseas. While this came in an envelope, it was actually packaged nicely when I opened it up. It comes in a nice protective package, with a little window so you can feel the texture of the case. The presentation was a pleasant surprise.
When I cracked the package open and held the case you do notice the texture quite well. It isn’t two layers where it is a hardcase and then a leather coating or something. The plastic itself is textured and grooved like that. When you feel the case, you do feel the bumps and grooves, but it’s not a soft or grippy texture. The feeling is along the lines of the White Ringke Slim, the White Spigen Ultra Fit, the White LG Hardshell, or any standard polycarbonate case with no additional coating on it. This is just “Lichi Grain” textured. So I would consider it smooth but bumpy? If that makes any sense at all.
The painted picture on it made no discernable difference to the feel of the case. It still felt exactly the same as a standard polycarbonate case. So I don’t know what kind of paint they used, but you don’t feel it anyway. Whether or not the paint begins to wear/rub off or not, I have no idea, but for the short time I’ve had it, it seems durable enough.
Build Quality:
The case is thin and bendable. I would say it is just a bit thicker than the LG Hardshell (for those of you who have that). Following along those lines, you will know that this case will provide 0 drop protection. I think if you bent it outward too much, it would snap in half. Not that it would break putting it on and taking it off the phone, but just so you have an idea of the thickness of the case, and it being minimalist.
As for the cutouts, tight would be an appropriate word. It fits around the camera and flash very closely, but ever so slightly off centre (by like .25mm or something) and the power and volume cutouts are rounded and indented. I honestly would like them a tiny bit bigger, but if you are a fan of precise button cutouts, this doesn’t disappoint.
There is the slightest lip for a “lay on the table” screen down design. I never do, but if you want your case to be seen, you can do it without the screen touching the table (but just barely).
Looks:
I like it. The colors and contrast are very nice. The white is a bright white (the camera didn’t capture it well without flash due to how the room was lit) and I like the pattern used inside of the Superman symbol. It is not just a black stamp, but an interesting design in itself. The “Lichi Grain” also adds to the look and gives it some extra character. So I wasn’t disappointed at all in the looks department. It is a classy looking case.
Overall:
I’m pleasantly surprised. I figured I would give it a chance and it turned out nicer than I expected. It’s a nice looking case, quite thin, and the design/texture are done very well. I have no idea about the durability of the paint, so that’s still up in the air, but it looks nice regardless.
I’m not sure how often I’ll use it, as I still love my quicksand cases (of course) and I will soon have a Slickwraps skin to put on my replacement Red Nexus 5 (whenever they decide to ship it…) but I know I can pull this case out whenever I need a change of pace.
Pros:
- Sweet Design
- “Lichi Grain” Texture
- Thin/Minimalist
Cons:
- Durability of the paint is unknown
- Thin/Minimalist (so overall strength)

But they're like $7 above the usual price you used to pay for a case. You've got a big raise at work or what? ;D

Haha no kidding huh?
Just a bit of a change of pace is all. Still love my quicksand cases but I thought these ones were really neat.
The quicksand cases are definitely still my top pick. Build quality, texture, feel, price, etc. can't be beat. This was kind of an impulse buy based solely on looks.

Oh wow. Just what I've been looking for. A hard case without that soft touch material I really don't like. Looks like the caseology but in a much thinner design with exposed buttons. Just wish I could find it in a plain solid color.

Range of colours. Also comes in metal. Twist on fitment also claims could help prevent cracked back.
I've ordered one this evening.
https://www.shapeways.com/model/2911366/moto360-case-plastic.html?materialId=28&li=ostatus

Holy crap. They have one in silver for $80.
Hahaha. That's nuts.

Yeah I saw the price and clicked past that one!

Hey, I'm the designer of this bumper.
I originally built the case to help reduce loading of the plastic backing, in an attempt to prevent the cracking I've read about.
Then I was asked to make a plastic version available. I doubt the plastic case will have any noticeable effect on the cracking, but I guess people liked the look of it (and the reduced cost vs. metal )
I'm now waiting on my order to do a final test fit and install.
If you guys have any suggestions or comments, let me know. I'm open to feedback.
Oh, and if you think the silver one is expensive, you don't even want to know what Shapeways would have charged for Gold or Platinum!

First question would be: Can we see it on an actual moto 360?

Hey, what about the material on this bumper. The first one (http://www.shapeways.com/model/2704...e-tall.html?li=search-results-1&materialId=95) was like sandpaper.
How do you get the case over the Moto 360 Main Button?

Photos to come. I've only recently uploaded the model to Shapeways, and I'm currently waiting for my order to arrive.
I have the following cases on order: two plastic, one steel and one brass. They have an estimated ship date of Dec 18th. I'm hoping Customs don't hold my shipment too long so that I can get it before Xmas.
In terms of install, I have a slot on the bottom, and the ribs on the button side are grooved on the inside to make clearance for the button.
3D Printed parts aren't perfect, they have tolerances that aren't well defined. I hopefully made enough clearance for the button. Which is why the cases are marked Beta.
With regards to the Plastic texture. I've never personally ordered anything in plastic yet.
I heard the surface can have a bit of a rough feel. I ordered both a polished and non-polished plastic to see the difference.

The material on the one you're talking about is rough, but it doesn't hurt anything. Just an FYI. If you don't like the feel, that's anther story altogether.
I'm watching this closely, as the other type on shapeways could really use some improvements. It fits but gets off kilter a lot.

Received mine today. Have to be brutally honest, awful. Truly, awful.
Main problems:
- too flimsy
- too rigid
- too rough
- ill fitting
The material used is simply not fit for purpose. You can't have a bumper which can't take a 'bump'. It's the opposite of durable. Part of it literally 'crumbled' (best word for it, like breaking a biscuit) as I twisted it on. The arms which I assumed went above the band and into the slots on watch I think actually go below the band I can see snapping off way too easily. Secondly they are slightly irritating as they sit beneath the band and your arm. Once fitted its quite a good fit, but to get it on is a chore. There is a slight indent to initially place the bumper over the power button but as you have to slightly twist it to install it, the button catches on the other parts of the bumper.
I'm struggling to really find anything good to say about it other then the design is different and original. If it was made of silicone or even a hard wearing flexible plastic it would be better.
Avoid. At least for time being until the creator has had more time to test different samples.

Ouch... that's disheartening.
I never intended on releasing a plastic version since I didn't have any personal experience with the 3D printed nylon. But I had quite a few requests to see it in plastic.
Most of what I read, made it sound like it was fairly flexible, I never envisioned it crumbling. The material is marketed as "Stong and Flexible" after all. Would you be willing to contact Shapeways directly and mention the crumbling? Perhaps there was a bad batch?
I'm still waiting on my order, so once I get mine I'll see how bad it is.
If it's as you've described, I'll just remove the plastic version entirely.
In terms of install, I knew it would be tricky. I tried to balance out the difficulty of install with keeping the bulk of the case down.
The larger I make the clearances, the bigger the outside of the case grows. I'm willing to open up clearances if the install is unnecessarily difficult.
I can only hope that the metal cases are closer to my initial vision.
Thanks for the honest feedback.

Yeah I'll drop them some feedback.
Obviously my feedback here is purely on the plastic version provided by Shapeways. Just to clarify that to others as I wouldn't want to put people off trying your metal versions.
If you ever manage to produce one in a silicone or a more durable flexible plastic I would be interested. As the problems I found are entirely down to the material Shapeways use.

STL File
Are you by chance planning to release or sell an STL file. I have a 3D printer and don't want to pay shapeways to make something I can make in my office.

There is another bumper in shapeways
