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:

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.

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.

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.

where to get design like yours? Or you made it yourself completely? Would you upload it here?
Thank you
Hi guys,
I bought this case the other day, after buying a £14 360 degree rotation case on ebay at the same time I bought my Note 10.1... It was cool, cause you could separate the case, and use just the inner case without the cover bit, but it was crap quality. It felt crap, wasn't lined, the camera on the front wasn't lined up, and I wasn't satisfied.
Upon looking for another case that I could buy that was in the UK, I found the "The Pad'" 'folio case' by Shocksock....
It's only a few quid more than the other case I bought, but is miles better. Everything lines up really well, and the case, while not oozing quality, feels nice, and looks smart. There is a couple of sharp feeling sticky-outy threads, where the sewing has been done, and the thread cut, but other than that, it's great. It's a shame it's not seperatable, but it's just miles better, and reasonable IMO for £20. I certainly couldn't find anything that looked better, so took a punt. It can also be positioned at any angle, due to a hard velcro ridge at the bottom of the tablet that sticks into and on the lining of the cover. The magnet seems a little weak, but it's closing nicer now the Note has settled into the case and stretched it in the right places - It also feels cushioned and very protective... recommended.

Thanks for the pics, that does look very good for 20 quid!
The design is different from a lot of the cases up for sale available via links on this forum.
One question though, is there a gap/cut out for the S-pen?
Unfortunately this came a little too late for me though, I purchased the original Samsung book case in dark grey and have a noreve leather one on order.
It's BULKY!
So this is a review of a nice dual-protection case from tmart.com! It's called the Hard Shell Silicone Case, and it comes in a few colors. I chose the black and gray because it looks best with my white GS3. honestly, I was never into big cases, but i think i'm going to run this case for a while because it just feels nice, and does add a bit more protection!
here's a few pics:

so like i said, the case feels nice and sturdy. it's not TOO bulky, but it's bulkier than i'm used to (basic TPU cases like zoogue, diztronic etc) but again, it does add some protection. it reminds me of a Ballistic dual protection case, honestly. and it's so cheap that it's totally worth it to try it out!
really no cons. everything seems to line up well...at first, though, I noticed when I was taking pictures with flash, there seemed to be a darker spot to the left in the image. upon further inspection, it seemed the flash/camera hole weren't lined up perfectly. all i had to do was take the phone out and re-align it within the case, and this was solved. so, it's not an issue, it's just like every other case out there where it has to be put in perfectly for everything to align well. (i had the same issue with diztronic and zoogue, where the charge port hole wouldn't line up and the charger would fall out.)
the charger port hole seems cut out well, but bigger usb ends don't stay in well. the samsung one is fine, but if you're using another brand (i have a blackberry USB laying around) it kind of wiggles so you really have to make sure it's in.
in the end, this case is awesome! totally worth it for the price!

After I received my latest order from TVC-Mall, I realized that by mistake I got S4 mini case, so I figured to write a short review about it anyway since it looks so damn cool!!! The one I received is: http://www.tvc-mall.com/details/Sam...her-Stand-Case-Green-Dark-Blue-MLC-I9190-25G/
This is another example when you have very low expectations when something cost only $3.60, and once you take it out of the box it makes you scratch your head of how far they pushed the envelope this time. The case comes in a very cool transparent package, but it's not just cheap looks when you take it out of the box. This is diary/wallet style case with a magnetic latch. It comes in bi-color design with bright lime/green inside and blue denim-looking exterior with green stitching. I don't even have a phone to test it out, so I tried taking a lot of detailed pictures for you to get an up close view. The inner case is soft TPU, and looks like it has a nice wrap around fitment for a full side/corner protection and even a lip around the screen. I assume all the cutouts for power/volume/camera/flash/speaker/headphone/mic/charger ports are aligned perfectly. The flip cover has two pockets for credit cards or driver license and another large vertical pocket for bills. There is also a cutout to close the cover while talking on the phone leaving a speaker next to your ear open. And I see there is a hole on the side to attach a lanyard. Furthermore, once opened the case folds to form a kickstand, typical for such folio cases. Overall, I was very impressed with a quality and a finish, and for $3.60 - its a steal considering some TPU cases by itself cost more than that. Plus, it comes in variety of different colors. Here are the pictures of the one I got.

Thanks for the review!
One questions though... Does the molded plastic portion of the case that holds the phone in place feel cheap? Not sure if it's just the shine it has but it doesn't look like that part is well built.
