Imak Jazz Super-slim Genuine Leather Case Skin for Samsung Galaxy Note
imak-jazz-superslim-genuine-leather-case-skin-for-samsung-galaxy-note-p-4043.html
anyone have those to share impressions? they look decent, corners seems to be protected... but withpout hands-on-experience hard to say how well they fit, feel (bulky or not), how well top latch works, etc.
Thank you in advance
Thanks for spotting these. I ordered the Imak Count on 30 December and it arrived yesterday. Free shipping so only paid about £11 which is an absolute bargain. It's a nice simple design and feels really good to hold. No metal protrusions or crass branding, just a discrete Imak stamp on the rear. The fit is excellent and it's quite easy to insert and remove the GNote. The corners are reasonably well protected although the open sections may be slightly vulnerable. The latch works well, releases easily and keeps the inside face of the cover approx 1 - 2mm above the screen.
My Noreve case is going back as it has an adverse effect on the signal strength (actually quite a dramatic effect), whereas the Imak case seems to have minimal impact.
Thanks!
I am still waiting for mine but I guess it is already on my continent somewhere

I agree. If it cannot be fixed, it has to go back.
Hey fellas,
Got my hands on affordable (but well made!) aluminum bumper style case for the Galaxy S3. This particular model came from Tmart but you can find similar ones on eBay, in all sorts of colors. It's a two piece case that fits nice and snug around your S3. It WILL bubble up some screenshields, which is unfortunate. All the ports and the cutouts are spot on, which is impressive for such an affordably priced case. Overall, while it doesn't offer a lot of protection, if you're looking for a bumper case - this is a good option!

Why keep throwing that word "affordable" out and not say what you paid for it? I have this very case since August ordering it straight from the manufacturer. I could find no dealer in the US. Plus, there were many knockoffs, especially on Ebay. Don't get me wrong, I love my TrioBump, I'm just annoyed at how so many post while leaving out details!
EDIT: Well, I watched the video and must apologize and complain even more! I should have watched it first (my bad) but I'd rather read the pertinent details in the post than watch a vid. I do not agree with your assessments. I think this case gives protection where it is needed most. I don't use any of those new fangled screen protectors that supposedly protect the display from impact damage. I think that's going to far. I do employ the Invisishield on front and back. It give a very snug fit with no bubbling. That said, I'm confident that I will not get any damage if my phone take a hit anywhere this bumper covers. My only concern would be having it hit a rock directly to the screen and in that case, I have insurance. I like the minimalist form factor plus the ease with which it can be taken on/off to change batteries. Plus, I can use it with my FlyGrip which is why I searched for just such a minimalist case. You slip in your two fingers and can use the phone with one hand without worrying about dropping. Plus, as you can see, it doubles as a stand. What has me newly annoyed is the price you quoted. I paid about 4o bucks from the manufacturer, Gimmick Five. I don't see how it could be sold for just 10 dollars.
EDIT: Just checked Gimmick Five's website, and they are still listed at 39.99 US. I'd like to know the story behind Tmart's TrioBumps.
Well here’s another leather case from Spigen. It is available in black or white and retails for $37.99. While the Galaxy S4 has both the Argos and illuzion Leather series available, the HTC One is only provided with the illuzion. There doesn’t appear to be big differences in the two series though. Watch the video for more information and general commentary.
NOTE: Since the case we have is white, it will probably get dirty. I saw someone complain how no one mentioned this. Furthermore if you have a white case in general... It will probably show any dirt more than black for example :cyclops:.

I have the black version of the case. It fits nicely onto the phone and protects it from whatever needs protection. It's a good case, but it have some minor negative "features".
After a while the hinge on top of the case gets more loose. It still holds on to the phone and protects the screen, but it leaves you with an uneasy feeling. There's also no room for the charger while the case is closed. You have to open the case to charge the phone - It's a shame really because it leaves the phone vulnerable. Also when you've been using it for a while and get fingerprints all over the screen, if you don't wipe them off before closing the case, the text on the inside of the lid will be "printed" on the screen fingerprints.
Despite this the case is brilliant. It's good looking and feels like it's of good quality. I've had it for over a month now and haven't regretted it. Expensive, but worth it - IMO.
I forgot to mention that the "Tablet of Hermes" gets imprinted on the screen. I did say that on the Argos for the Galaxy S4. Kind of funny.
Anyways the longest I used one of the cases was the Argos for the S3. It did get a little loser, and I did bend it back more to encourage it to be tighter. I guess you could do that and apply something that would stiffen it back up.
Overall not a bad product for under $40. Thanks for adding to this post.
Had a black version of this case, been using it for a while, I've to say it's the best looking flip case for one, it's durable. Except the inside part of the lid is getting dirty and the text, which I don't like. Wondering if the sgp glast screen protector will work along with this case! Any one tried that?

I didn't have one on this phone in this video. For the Argos and the Galaxy S4 it works fine. That did have a Spigen Glas screen protector.
LastuCase is a Finnish company, which manufactures semi-wooden cases that have matte hard plastic on them as well. Kind of expensinve at 29€, but they look good. For other phone models they have a bit larger amount of models, but they have on for N5 too. Here's a link to their website:
http://lastucase.com/product/lastu-...-wooden-wood-suoja-kuori-kotelo-suojakuori/#/
Does anyone happen to have any experience with these?
Looks identical to this : http://www.amazon.com/BoxWave-Minim...=1409250296&sr=8-2&keywords=wood+case+nexus+5
After searching Amazon to find that link I found there are a lot of new wooden cases.
Carved does it as well IIRC.
Bump
Has anyone tried any of the cases for the OnePlus 8?
LewLater Case on pre-order. It's not the cheapest case especially factoring in the shipping cost but I prefer to have a barely-there, slim case.
Wow that's quite expensive
I bought one from LaterCase which is yet to arrive
I have the Cyan sandstone protective case and the nylon bumper with the pop-up box.
I love the nylon bumper
I've ordered a couple of cases from Amazon, one is a matte transparent case w/black TPU side bumper:
OnePlus 8 Case [Frosting Transparent Back] Ultra-Thin Soft TPU [Shock Absorption] Slim Fit Lightweight Shockproof Armor Cover Hybrid Protective Case Compatible with Oneplus 8 (Black, 1+8) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087CW225G/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_6WjUEbE6JCY8G
This is the one I'm actually after, a matte transparent Frameless Case (arrival estimate 2+ months from now, so, I ordered the one above in the meantime) :
OnePlus 8 Frameless Case, EabHulie Slim Translucent Hard Back Matte Skin Soft TPU Bumper Corners Shockproof Case Cover for OnePlus 8 Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0881W9VBG/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_1ZjUEbZX8D19V
I used the same Frameless Case on the OnePlus 7T Pro (fits the OnePlus 7 Pro as well) & it performed well for what I was wanting, minimal coverage & preventing accidental edge touches. It actually did that a bit too well on the sides, but, I adjusted to it, better than the alternative of a bulky case or, going sans case.
As the edge contours seem to be less dramatic vs the OP7 Pro / OP7T Pro, hoping they nailed it on the side coverage/touch sensitivity sweet spot.
I've done a review of 3 flip cases - see the other post in this forum
I highly recommend the Tudia Merge. It's a dual layer case - TPU and Plastic. Fits really well, buttons still feel good. I've used the Merge cases for my past several OnePlus phones, and all have been great.

Anyone know where to buy the original sandstone case from other than 1+ direct with silly postage fees
Just picked up this case from T-Mobile US, from their budget conscious brand GoTo:
https://www.t-mobile.com/accessory/goto-define-case-for-oneplus-8-5g
My 2¢/ Pros & Cons.
Pro:
1) Availability, shouldn't be too difficult to find a T-Mobile store that has it in stock, especially with the phone still being relatively new.
2) Fit is excellent, cutouts are precise. The camera cutout extends well below the flash, not a deal breaker, but, I think they should have opted for a more precise cutout for the lenses & a separate hole for the flash. Perhaps this was a cost-cutting measure.....
3) Feel in hand is acceptable, neither the slimmest or bulkiest case I've used.
For feel in hand perspective, if you've used a RhinoShield Crash Guard bumper, this case is slimmer in the grip,a lot more comfortable vs the Crash Guard bumper.
Cons:
1) Price isn't insane, but, I do feel it's a bit much @ $19.99. Sure, it's about 1/2 the price of other cases sold by T-Mobile, but, as everyone here is painfully aware, carrier accessories are grossly overpriced,
So yeah, this case is overpriced vs Amazon/AliExpress/eBay & in a lot of instances, buying direct from the mfg w/a discount code.
2) The volume/notification slider cut-out, while precise,is a bit cramped for one-handed use. Not a biggie for me, I rarely use it, but, for those where this is a priority, perhaps this case is not for you.
Fortunately, the box for the case (at least mine) was not sealed, so, if buying from a brick & mortar store, you should be able to try it out before buying
Misc:
The design of the backside is a bit weird in the looks department, reminiscent of poor 'ol HTC's earlier efforts in the "big chin" look on the front of their phones.
To me, it's not a big deal, but, if I were choosing in-store w/a comparably priced/designed case w/o the "chin'", I'd opt for the other case.
Ditto on the branding of the "GoTo" logo. It's actually not that noticeable, but, again, same scenario just mentioned, I'd opt for the competition.
FWIW, I loathe cases w/branding, as most go overboard w/it, I prefer minimal/unbranded cases, typically one color/material when possible, less is more for my usage.
Would I recommend it?
Sure, it strikes a good balance of form/function (less the slider cutout). If you need a case ASAP for the unlocked or T-Mobile version, it's a worthwhile case.
However, if you don't mind waiting for mail order from wherever you shop online, you could probably find a case that fits your needs at a better price.
I ordered the transparent TPU & carbon fiber cases from OnePlus when I ordered my OP8. Both are way too slippery. Ordered a Rinke Fusion X on Amazon, and I like it much better.
Pros:
- Very grippy!
- Good side & corner protection
- Transparent back shows off phone color nicely
Cons:
- Raised plastic "button guards" make finding buttons by feel a touch difficult
- Minimal front protection
Overall rating: 4.5 Stars

verizon cases
Any generic cases that'll fit the verizon version, or are verizon users stuck with the ones on their website? I'd read somewhere that "some" generic cases "might" fit the verizon phone, but can't find any more info. Thanks.
Unfortunately I can't answer the question about the case, but I do have a related question.. What is different about the Verizon version of the OnePlus 8, vs like the T-mobile, or unlocked version.
I'm looking for cases myself, but I have the one from T-mobile. And when searching amazon, I've seen some listed as "Verizon Only" ..

Don't know how you did that...all the ones I find say "Not for Verizon". The difference, as I understand it, is verizon's 5g hardware is bigger / located in a different location, which caused some buttons to be moved. So for most case designs, verizon phones won't work, but all other 8's (not pro) will...the exception would be a few that have cutouts that can accomodate either configuration...but info on which those are is sparse.

I went through a lot of pages of case on amazon; as 99% of them are terrible cheap looking crap, and a lot were for the wrong device as Amazons search sucks.. but there were a few. One I actually liked but it says Verizon only..

the Verizon version is the only one that is different... I myself bought the karbon bumper case from T-Mobile, the official one from OnePlus I also have a tech21 Evo check case that comes with interchangeable colored buttons

I bought this case super finish and affordable. Its the nylon version from Nilkin.
Super slim and grippy case suggestions?
I am looking for a slim/minimalistic case.
Is Official Sandstone case grippier than the Nylon case?
I have the nylon and I like it but with the added size of the case it's harder to grip. I'm thinking about getting the Sandstone case but not sure if it would help any with phone slipping out of my hand.
Ideally I would like a slimmer case with better grip and lip to protect screen and ideally camera.
Thanks all!
