As with all metal cases/battery covers, NFC most likely will not work.
Why doesn't the seller shows the front of the case?
I also go with what dagglord said.
I had an aluminium case but my GPS became a disaster. Losing the signal very often.
I have the same case right now. Been using it for a week now and I really love the look of it.
But there's always a "but"...
Wifi and cellular connection are noticably weeker, NFC no longer works and I couldn't get a GPS lock after 1 minute in open sky view.
I will try to get refunded as the case now comes with white labels and it was not shown on ebay listing.

a pity for the signal loss. I really am not a fan of the plastic design of the S3 , it has got better with the S5 for instance but still.
That is a sexy case... too bad it messes with all signals
I've had some metal cases in the past and aside from the signal strength depreciation, I've had problems with them both cosmetically and functionally. I avoid them usually.
nice case
They look cool, but they are not practical.
1. Caused very bad reception issues with GPS, radio, and Wifi.
2. They claim they are sturdy, but I've had at least 4 of them from different manufacturers. The outside walls around the phone aren't strong, they dent very easy, and scratch easy too.
3. A lot of screen protectors bubble up due to pressure from the case.
4. Some cables for charging or audio do not fit in the precut slots.
You're actually better off just getting a plastic or rubber case.

Well I got sick of the added bulk/weight of my verizon dual case looking around on ebay I found this Ringke case. It's a silicone case, not too much added protection if it were dropped but just for daily use it's good enough. It definitely improves the power button feel, barely even have to touch it. Fit's nice and snug on the phone adds almost nothing to it. It isn't like most silicone cases collecting lint/getting stuck in your pocket it's a different material never seen it on a phone case before Only real complaint is with after market chargers the rubber kind of gets in the way but other then that I have zero complaints about it. For the price I think it was a decent deal.
just figured there might be others out there not sure about it, like I was and give a little insight on it.
16.00 shipped
Ringke Case
if really wanted I could get pictures of mine on the phone.
I'll post a video review in a couple days. If your looking for a case which add very little bulk to the phone this is it. High quality silicone which doesn't pick up lint, dust or dirt.

agreed thanks for the pics. only camera I have available atm is my Tbolt lol. I also took this thing with me mudding, was full of everything under the sun, came home threw it in the sink and looks new again, my last two cases stained and looked like crap.
love this bumper case so much, crazy its only 5.00. The skin turned out really well also, Had to photoshop the picture to make it fit right, I get tons of compliments on it.

Gelaskins does make great skins. I bought numerous skins from them and have had no complaints of their work.
I LOVE this bumper too, and also thinking of doing something different with the battery cover/door, but I might just get a white colored door and call a day
Where did you get this from? Which eBay seller?
Do you have a link to this bumper case?

Heard problems with this bumper though. The front side falls apart

Actually, it's around the USB port area that the black TPU section can tear itself away from the white plastic. But I've been able to fix it by using a small dab of superglue. The result can be quite stiff and reassuring. At only 3 bucks a piece, it's still an excellent case. I have 4 of these.
BTW, I bought mine from focalprice.com
I have had mine on my phone going on 3 weeks and have had no issues. I could see there being issues with the black coming off if you take your phone out of the case alot. so far i have yet to take it out since i put the case on, I have did battery pulls but the case does not need to come off to do so.
design
where to get design like yours? Or you made it yourself completely? Would you upload it here?
Thank you
Picked this up today from Currys (25 quid) the plastic used on the back/sides portion is odd. It grips like it's rubber, but you cannot gouge the surface with a fingernail. Tough as old boots, reputedly able to withstand a wire brushing without marks. also with funky orange absorption panels inside.
The front flap that protects the screen is semi rigid, with a mock suede type fabric inside, and a leather like material outside, that also feels rubbery, and although not as resistant to gouging as the back, any gouges that could be left by keys etc, seem to disappear after a couple of minutes, coupled with a general high quality feel make me think these are going to be a popular brand.
[UPDATE]
Been living with this case for a month now, and I have to say it`s looking like it`s going to stand up to pretty much anything. Although I don`t use it during the workdays, (too grippy, won`t slide in and out of my overalls pocket) It`s the case I go for any other time.
I initially feared that handling it with dirty oily hands (I do occasionally) that it would stain a lot more than it does, but a good wipe down with a damp microfibre cloth, and it`s sparkling again

Hey,
Recently got my OPO and I really like the phone naked. However I really DON'T like the fact it sits on its camera lens, so I'm going to get a case. I'm more or less set on getting the ORZLY protector as well if that matters.
Here is the one hiccup where I often run into issues: the case has to have a very large headphone jack opening. I wear headphones daily at work that come off my phone. I use the Audio Technicia M-50s which have a large metal plug. It needs to have about 1/2 inch clearance on all sides for the plug to fit securely.
The Nillkin looks like a good bet, however I can't tell on the Amazon pictures if the top back actually ends at the top of the phone or if comes up and wraps around. The Diztronic TPU is also a consideration, however I can't tell if the hole is large enough.
Here is a picture of the M-50 plug for reference:

Thanks for any help you can give!

I would suggest the Diztronic case. I really like mine. The headphone opening is large and tapered. If you need a larger opening you could just cut or drill it larger. More images here https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...-nillkin-diztronic-and-more-pics-heavy.84645/
I have the same ATH-M50's as you. When i ordered my case i was a bit worried that the plug wouldn't fit, but the idea was just to return it if it proved to be no good. Luckily when the case arrived, the headphone plug fitted fine so i obviously didn't need to return it. The case i have is the same Diztronic TPU case as posted above, the only difference being that mine is the black one.
Hi.
I think of buying aluminum back cover for my Redmi 1s.But i'm wondering will it interfere with phone signal,wifi signal and all other signals - it is aluminum.
Will the signals be worse?
Anybody have R1s with alu back cover?
Thank you.
I have one
I have had bought one like this

yep it interferes with the WiFi signals and reduces it strength
also its quite slippery, easily slips off hand but sure looks beautiful
but as far as mobile signal is concerned I didn't notice any reduction..

Yes alu. back cover causes interference with WIFI signal.
Yes. I have one too. It reduces the strength of Wifi signal, but it makes beautiful your phone
I too had used one , the problem is it makes the phone way too heavy . Just holding it for long calls makes hand hurt.
Agree with user above.
Cases like this make phone heavy and it doesn't fit really well in hand.
how about aluminium battery cover?
any reduction in wifi signal?
