Nillkin Frosted Case Review
Link: http://goo.gl/qH6o3k
The fourth and final case arrived pretty early today and it is threatening the Ebestsale TPU case's reign on my phone.
Just looking at the case, you can see a subtle dotted pattern on the back. Once you feel the back, you start to question whether the Sandstone back was really your favorite texture. Then you remember the whole point of having the case, to protect your phone, right? Unfortunately, this case will not protect your phone with the efficiency Ebestsale's TPU provides. The edges are raised but not nearly as much as the TPU. After putting a quarter under the phone and moving it, the quarter does get displaced. The smaller raise causes the screen to be much more vulnerable.
The ports on the side are better than the blue TPU I reviewed and since it's a hard case, nothing is loose. Thanks to this hardness, the case is much slimmer than the TPUs. The top and bottom of the case reveal 90% of the phone itself because of the curved cut approach Nillkin took when creating this case. This makes it easier to put things in the ports but sacrifices protection because the casing won't be there to absorb the impact. This case will not provide the grip you get on the TPU or sandstone back.
Overall this case is not truly meant for protection but for a good show and boy does it deliver in that category. I would recommend this for those who can maintain the safety of their OnePlus and want a case that doesn't mask its identity.
Pros: Feels very nice - The Slimmest Case I've bought - Color Choices
Cons: Edges not Raised enough - Not enough case to protect- Slippery

Just got this case;
http://www.amazon.com/Nillkin-Frosted-Protector-Compatible-OnePlus/dp/B00L2D3NYE
I gotta say this case is AWESOME I have the Diztronic matte black case too, and typically I am a big fan of Diztronic, I had the Diztronic for my HTC One M8, and my brother does for his Nexus 5, and it's very thin, while also protecting the phone, but the Diztronic for the OnePlus One feels pretty thick and bulky for some reason on the 1+1, and is very slippery.
Anyways, this Nillkin black case is just perfect for me. The 1+1 is already a pretty large phone to begin with, and the Diztronic case made it feel quite a bit bigger and heavier, and I just loved using my OnePlus One naked, it felt so light and easier to handle, but I was always afraid of scratching it and dropping it. Well this Nillkin is very thin, and makes the phone feel naked almost still. It looks very nice, I love the rubbery feel on the back.
This case won't protect the phone much if dropped, but then again most cases aren't guaranteed to fully protect a phone. But I like the very light profile, making the phone still feel naked, but it does protect the camera in back, and the lip goes over the front screen, protecting the screen if you lay the phone face down.

Same experience here. I had a tpu case but I found myself taking it off often. This nilkin case looks great and feels like a part of the phone.
Have one too. But it free when i buy one+ and get free tempered glass screen cover lol.

Yep . This case is great, super thin, like an extension of the phone itself, not a separate bulky case.
Great case i have it on right now lol. Im not afraid of dropping it all i wanted was a good looking phone case and this delivered
I've received it a week ago and I think that is a great case. Almost you'll forget that your One wears something additional. Grate feeling, slim and delivered with free nillkin film screen protection.

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
Closeup of the corners
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.

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.

Just got mine today, black. Not sure I'm thrilled with it. It's thinner than the Tudia Dual. Doesn't feel as protective. It didn't "hug" the phone as well as I was hoping it would, the Tudia is a nice slim snug fit. Not much of a lip over the front of the phone screen. The silver bezel on the top/bottom of the phone is visible with it on.

There's something strange, something wrong on this case...
Just an update, I stopped using the Orzly Fusion case, even on the Bamboo the case is loose (or maybe because it's on the Bamboo and it's thicker so it's not hugging the phone properly).
posted this on google+ originally
Orzly Oneplus One case came in yesterday. Very satisfied and happy that it fits perfectly with the Bamboo Swapstyle cover. The buttons are tough as hell to press but it's not a deal breaker. Plus the shine effect the clear back gives to my OnePlus is a beauty.

Clench your phone, as if you're trying to compress the lips over your phone sides, you will feel like it has movement as if it really is loose.
I found the same thing. Fit is nowhere near as snug as I would have liked it to be, and I would have much preferred a bit more lip for screen protection.
I just received this too. It's an okay case.. NOT a fan of clear rears. But for 5 bucks not bad.
...
Iv had this for about 2 weeks. i love the case. I believe bigballa on the xda community has posted some really helpful pics. The fitting around the sides is perfect and access to all ports is spot on as well. Iv read some odd amazon reviews but i really cant fault this case. Shows the back of my phone nicely whilst offering great protection
kind of glad i got the diztronic instead, is recommend it I might pick up the fusion later on
Remove back Plastic
Hi,
Same here seems that it is realy thinn and not so protective. We will see after some drops (I hope It will not happen soon).
I remove all the plastic back part (with a dremel: Grinding and Cuting head) to preserve the sandstone back feel of the phone and to keep the weight down. Its is quite good, the case is still well in place, not so loosy. There is a litle loose in the midle of the long border. If I redo this operation I will keep a litle platic stripe between the midle of the long borders.
I will try to cut the back of an Diztronic case to compare the overall rigidity.
Regards,
+ 9h nilkin tempered glass screen protector
I've had the clear version of this case for about a couple months and have dropped it several times. No damage, just some small chips on the edges of the nilkin tempered glass screen
I have the case about 5 days, but I send it back, there are some problems with it.
First the polycarbonat back scratches really easy and looks bad, second is the case not fits at the top and bottom, so there can enter a lot of dust.
I can not recommend this case
The back transparent easy to scratch. Demmittt.
I actually really love this case. It is much slimmer than the ringke fusion and actually maintains the shape of the opo with minimal bulk. Also, I made my own template (much like I did with the ringke fusion) So I can have custom backs.
The one downside is quality control though. When I got the case, one of the plastic protective sheets was positioned halfway down the back and there was a small scratch on the top right hand corner.
That said, this is still my favourite case.

I was considering buying this, but what you guys said, made me change my decision and I bought the pelosi case.. Perfect fit, sandstone feeling and very slim fit
I received two cases from poetic
Karbon shiel-http://www.poeticcases.com/karbon-shield-9
Revolution-http://www.poeticcases.com/revolution-85
Peotic is one of the best (for me)
Revolution have protection for screen, because of that case is massive but not too much like for some other phones. Case have cover for all open ports to prevent dust and lint.
Karbon shiel is regular soft case with karbon patern. Front bezel to prevent the device from coming in contact with any surface.
Both case look very cool, and have perfect grip sides for much safer use. If you need max protection, revolutin is for you. From my past use of revolution, protection is on the top.
If you use case with tempered glass then you need karbon shiel (or affinity-http://www.poeticcases.com/affinity-101)
From my past use of Poetic cases, they cases is on the top of my list. You can by on Amazon
In my country we still dont have G6 on the market but when will have i will update my review

The revolution case looks good except the back opening for the camera and fingerprint. I've would of prefer it to have individual openings like the other case. Also the opening design is not attractive at all.
Just got the karbon case about an hour ago. Don't like it. Feels a little loose and doesn't hold tight to the phone, leaving some gaps on the front around the edges that are driving me nuts. Fits like a cheap rubber case. But it was only like $8 on Amazon, so not a huge loss.

Just got my Unicorn Beetle. Love it, only a couple issues though. The protector that comes with it has a rainbow effect when the screen is black, not noticable when in use, and it doesnt completely cover the bottom bezel, and leaves just a lil bit of the top of the LG logo and the letters LG showing. Minor annoyances, but still. I dont have a glass protector on it yet, and I have a feeling Ill end up having to remove the plastic protector that is on the case in order for it to fit properly.
Havent really noticed any touch issues with the plastic screen protector either. But Ive only been playing around with it for about an hour or so. I think its definitely better than an otterbox though.
Also, the price increased to 16.99 on amazon from the 14.99 I paid 2 days ago. Ordered one for my mom and was a bit miffed at the price jump in 2 days.
I personally chose the Supcase Unicorn Beetle because I always purchase their cases with every new phone I upgrade to, just in case I can't find anything local. I never purchased any Poetic before, so I can't really weigh in. Honestly both have, effectively, everything that you need. That's inclusive to a full body case, built-in screen protector, belt clip (if you into that kinda stuff) and covers for your ports. So what is really comes to is design language. Supcase appears to be more industrial, with angular shapes and corners. Peotic has more of an elegance to the case design, with different variable textures along the sides and rear of the device.
So in short, you can't really go wrong either way you decide. At this time of posting, both cases retail at 16.99 on Amazon, so you are missing out financially.
Best of luck in your search, that is if you still searching...
I've had the revolution cases for my m8 and m9 those were sturdy cases. This one for the g6 is cheap feeling. Not worth the 15 I paid for it for sure. The rubber comes off it as in doesn't stay tight and the screen protector bulges. I ended up popping it out so I have real feel of the screen

how's the supcase going?
planning on getting one for me aswell.

I still wait for my g6. Hope it will be this week
I hate that poetic did not cover the camera lens with their full body case. I like the case cause I do a lot of hiking and it's great but still wish had camera protection
I just get my G6
Revolution case i cant use with tempered glass (on g5 i can) but you have screen protector on case. Case fit better on G6. Phone in case is not big that much. For me, for much protection, case is perfect.
Karbon case is frendly with tempered glass. Case is soft and have good feel in hand. Karbon back look nice.
Poetic is one of the best for me (price and what you get from case)

So I bought the Spigen Rugged Armor and it's just too slippery, can't hardly hold on to the phone with it on. ?
Can anyone recommend a pretty slim case that offers a lot of grip? Something with a rubberized costing on the back maybe. Don't know.. just want something that keeps the phone on my hand.. ?

Just know that it is not the most durable. I take it off and put it back on a lot, and it started to crack in places. Mine is also not perfectly centered over the buttons...lol. describing it like this makes it sound horrible, but it is probably one of my favorite cases I've ever owned. If you want some extra protection (the Bear motion is minimalist in this regard) and grip while still keeping it pretty slim, I'd go for the Speck Presidio Grip.

Nice, saw those a while ago actually. I wish they'd cover the top and bottom edges as well though and not just the sides.
What do they feel like? The Bear Motion that is.
The Speck one looks pretty grippy. Not sure about the actual look of it though-

I think I'd describe the feel as rubberized sand paper. It is rough, kind of like sand paper, and even though it isn't made of rubber (more of a hard plastic), it feels sort of rubbery in my hand. I'm pretty horrible at describing it:silly:.
argh, I would like the Bear Motion but nobody sell it in europe

Nah, sounds good mate, thanks! ?
I really wish Ringke would have made their Slim case for the G6. Had it on my Nexus 6 and loved the feel of it. It had a good rubbery texture.
Anyone know if Spigen's Thin one is similar?
In case anyone else is looking for something similar I ended up buying the Spigen Thin Fit and it's pretty much perfect! I kind of wish it'd cover the top and bottom edges but at least it covers the corners and I'm loving the feel of it. It's got a perfect rubberized texture that gives plenty of grip.
Nillkin nature is an awesome slim case. Very slim and perfect cutouts.

Nice! I've had that case for my Nexus 6 and besides it yellowing it was pretty spot on.
The Nature comes in darker colors, less prone to turn yellowish. Mine is 'gray', and has been holding up pretty good for about six months.
I prefer TPU cases. This is the one that I purchased. https://www.amazon.com/Cruzerlite-C...JJV5/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1494806314&sr=8-2
It comes in several different colors.

Wasn't available over here without paying way too much for the shipping. ?
Like on S6 i bought Nillkin Nature best Slim grippy case ever.
I like Nillkin too, i have bought Nillkin's Synthetic fiber and Super Frosted Shield. and winner is Super Frosted Shield.
They have newer, more like rubber matterial than on Super Frosted for older phones (i have Super Frosted for Nexus 5x and Xiaomi Redmi 1S), so grip is fantastic.
And display protection is much better with Super Frosted too.
Also i have dbrand's vinyl (carbon series) and after more than week it's still slippery. I hope slickwraps natural series black leather will be better.
I ended up just making my own with this case plus some of this grip tape. The grip on cases is never 'grippy' enough so this works great!
I rock the Nillkin slim hard shell
Awesome idea
I love this device and I'm waiting to get the Tech21 case for cheap on ebay for this phone as I loved it on my V30+.
Figured I'll go colorful until then.
I settled on this and it'll be here next week.View attachment 4777486

This is an excellent 2 piece case with hard shell protection on all corners and a nice soft touch feel for 9 bux. It's very, very close to the Incipio cases I had on my S5. My Incipios have slightly softer tpu, whick looks just a bit thicker at shock points. On the other hand, this case is a little thinner, while remaining tough. It even has more hard protection on the top of the phone, and the plastic case feels stronger for that extra edge.
It's so cheap, I bought both color combos to mix and match, plus I'll have the replacement for whenever the plastic eventually breaks from a fall (even my Incipio cases broke to save the phone).

If you use this, remember to install and remove in 2 steps. Like most good 2 piece cases, the plastic shell holds the phone tightly, be careful how it flexes around the key cutouts during removal. It seems smoothest to remove the power button edge first.
Although the Incipio feels slightly softer, I'm confident the protection of this is roughly equal in everyday use.

Great case. TP around the edges and poly-carbonate back that is clear. Works great with wireless charging. very good fit.

It doesn't have that rainbow look due to the back being glass?

I have the following cases, but am currently just using a skin from slickwraps.
Ghostek Covert
CruzerLite Leather Texture
Ringke Fusion X
Ringke Fusion
Encased Slim Armor
I have also spent a good amount of time at the carrier shops trying out the overpriced (but pretty great) cases:
Speck Presidio Grip
Tech21 Evo Check
Casemate Tough Clear
If anyone has questions or wants photos, let me know.

I really want to see how that CruzerLite looks in real life. It was the one I was torn on before I picked that blue one I've got. I definitely want the Tech21 but it's gonna have to wait until I can find one on eBay for less someday.

I'll take some photos once I'm home. It's a very nice case and I use it when I get tired of looking at a greasy, fingerprinted device. I've have a love/hate with Tech21 cases - they're great protection but they add so much width. I'd say they're worth it if you really want that 10ft drop protection without going to something beefier. I'm a desk jockey so I'm really enjoying the phone+skin and I only slap on a case if I know I'm going to be somewhat active. It's a shame there aren't more options for LG phones. No love if your name doesn't start with Apple or Samsung.
Septembersrain - It does have a few small areas on the clear back smaller than a dime that look a bit extra shiny since they are in contact with the glass. Not rainbow though.
This case is awesome, very sturdy, has a lip to protect edges of screen, slim, supports wireless charging, kick stand on back for propping up phone in landscape mode, 3 colors, perfect cutouts.

Same as you will similar, simple and effective and still showing its colour.
I'm rockin the Ringke Fusion, aqua blue on black. Case does its job. Looks nice. Not very comfortable to hold though.
I'm using the spigen tough armor. Loving it so far! doesn't add too much bulk, but it's a solid case. the kickstand is a fantastic feature
I use TPU cases from X-Level.
Spigen Slim Armor, can't really go wrong with that one
And for $20 it's a decent price imo.
Spigen Liquid Crystal
Spigen Liquid Crystal with a Speck Grab Tab.
literally using the one it came with, thick and sturdy enough and hasn't yellowed yet either (crossing my fingers)

I use these also, they're great cases and work perfectly with wireless charging.
any love for the G8S? i guess not
Im using the Ghosttek case and so far its been what I was wanting. No more sliding off flat tables, or out of my pocket in the car and falling down under the seat anymore. All the buttons work well and has a minimal effect on the overall size of the phone very good case if you arent looking for otterbox style
