So I have found an interesting Ice dot view clone on aliexpress, with both advantages to be much cheaper and to have a protection for the lower part of the 10.
Though it's important for me to see if I can take out the 10 easily from it or not as I stick my 10 on a sticky pad in the car
Also do you think the touch using the cover lid closed will be as good as the original?

Just received my clone today. It's great. See-through back and sits flush when case flipped but the front (not sure if same material as original) which is rubber is a dust magnet. Overall great case. Also it's secure. I shook it multiple times and it never fell out. And only $8 for for the one I found.

What do you mean by dust magnet?
Is it easy to take out the phone from the cover?
Is it heavy?

1. The front flap gets dust on it a lot.

3.Not heavy at all.

It would be nice to put some photos :fingers-crossed:
So the dust is ''glued'' due to the tpu greasy texture right?

I wonder which color is better, grey or black, I would take the black one but I am afraid it won't be transparent enough to see the screen?

I have the grey one. It's not as transparent as the official case (I have both).
Be prepared to reorder replacements... The Ali express cases suffer from the same problems that the M9 Dot View Ice case had, with the hinge tearing.

So it's not durable, though I don't fold out the case 360 if this is the reason why it's tearing up?
I had an m9 clone dot view and never had this kind of problem, but it was hard plastic, this 10 ice view clone looks like soft TPU at the back and all around

The only soft TPU parts are the grey coloured parts. The clear back is made from a hard PC material.
Not sure if the tearing will be any less by not opening the flap 360 degrees, but you may be correct. Mines too far gone to test this for you.

I just received mine today, too. Grey front/hinge/sides and clear back. So far it is far superior to the quality of the HTC One M9 Dot View case I bought (lol this one even came in an m9 dot box with an htc 10 sticker). I haven't noticed the front slip/smack any in my pocket (I saw that someone else mentioned the HTC 'official' ice view case does this). The only thing that I haven't had a chance to mess with is customizing what the Ice View screen does...if that is even possible, I haven't looked into it.
All in all, if you have $8 and don't mind waiting 10-14 days, then I'd strongly suggest picking one up.

The magnet thing has not even left a 'wear' ring or any other indication that it is might blemish the screen. I had it in a tight pants pocket and even gave it to my daughter (aged 6) to test. The only thing that I have really not like about it is that I will have to reevaluate my security settings. Primarily what OK Google is capable of without fingerprint or other unlock.
It *does* seem to slip, ever so slightly, in the PC clear back, but it is not enough that it would cause the phone to fall out or take more damage if it is dropped.

Is the transparency difference enough to not want the knockoff? I mean I believe I have the black knockoff and it's not bad in that regard.
Is it true the touch response on the clones is somehow not as responsive as it should be?
Anyway there is a new model in town, dunno if these ones are better with the new ''beige'' and 'the very light grey colors: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Top-..._8&btsid=381788ef-4746-4ef6-a67c-12d2d64fa07f
The clear back case is a huge plus. But trust me the front is much worse than the htc original one in every aspect: worse touch responsiveness, higher friction(the original have glossy feel), worse display clearity.
But for such a low price I guess you couldn't ask for too much.

I didn't think that was a picky post at all!! Mine has the same gap a the top and apart from attracting dust, it does worry me that this is a potential route for things to get behind the screen.
It was a legitimate question hamdir. Stop being so angry!
Yep, mine has a gap at the top and right side of the screen. Seen it mentioned by others here too.
Took only one day for the dust to gather and be visible in good light...
ok here is a non angry answer, use a pouch if you worry so much about the state of your device, my Desire HD is still new after 19 months thanks to the pouch
pouch is the best of both worlds, since you still enjoy the device naked when you use it

i can't use a device with it out now, when i take it out i put over the pouch and it protects the back especially the camera lens
The One X fits in the HD2 pouch but like 10% of it remains outside, i need to hunt a slim pouch for the One X
There's a gap on both the left and right sides of the display on my unit. The gap on the left is a fraction wider, and both sides have started to collect dust despite the fact that I've been using the official case since day one. It's mostly a non-issue for me, but there's this one stubborn particle that won't budge no matter what I try. It just sits there like a thorn in the side.. of my device.

I think there are two issues here. One is the normal gap between the side lining and the glass but the glass makes contact with the lining all the way around. BUt others have shown a real gap between the screen and lining that you can see the screens light through and dust can directly enter the screen area. The first is normal, and the second is not!
Someone posted pictures of the screen gap around the top of their phone and compared to mine there is definitely a big difference so I think OP made a valid post and isn't being "picky". My phone has a nice even fit all the way round whereas this other phone looked like the screen was kind of lifting away from the case. Mine also lets no light leak through whatsoever.

I bought white one and noticed 2 defects. 1st near power button there is a slight gap on one side.
2nd gap between screen and body at the top can see led light through gap.
Annoying I didn't have these problems with the black version. Aaarghh.
You can't imagine IPhone screwing up this badly and all hell would break lose if they did.
Having said that I wouldnt swap my one x with any other mobile. Someone offered to swap their IPhone 4s 64gb for my one, nah.

Anyone else find that the grey HOX plastic shell suffers from wear? The grey coating on the rear has turned slightly shiny in places, suggesting to me that some of the matte surface has worn away in my trouser pocket. Also a few micro scratches on the gorilla glass! I'm not particularly phased by it, though it does seem rather soon for it to display signs of use! Still waiting for my Casemate Tough to arrive!
At least we don't have the shiny scratch-lusting build quality of the Samsung Galaxy S series

when i got my HOX i got a pouch with it and a screen protector was the first thing to on it, i've just brought this http://goo.gl/rgAO5 for £1.25 it's real nice my friend got on for his HOX thats what made my buy it lol
I've got a black HOX the only thing "shiny" on the back is the grease marks from the bacon sandwich i had this morning #yummy.
I put mine in a leather pouch when in not using it. I bought a screen protector but am not putting it on yet until some of the screen flickering issues on grey colors get solved. Though my flickering actually seems to have solved itself drastically and I only have a hint of what it once was at max brightness only now.

Perhaps it's just me then! It has to be said though, that the back of the grey HOX certainly marks/scuffs easier than the White handset and is also a sucker for showing finger prints!
I have the Grey one, all I'm saying is I completely disagree with everything said here.
I had the White one and every mark or scuff showed up on it, if you had dirty fingers then it was a right sucker for fingerprints. This Grey one is the complete opposite, besides I completely disagree with it being Grey, it's more Browny...

You sir must be colour blind... It is quite clearly grey Or am I colour blind? Who knows... Anyways, all I'm saying is - the plastic polycarbonate shell is perhaps not as robust as HTC made it out to be!

It's a really hard colour to describe because calling it Brown is pretty stupid of me, but with it being Matte Grey its almost not Grey? It's Dark...
I'd argue with your statement there. It's certainly robust in the respect that if you dropped it, its bouncy and prevents damage and reduces the chances if the screen smashing. Maybe due to the Matte & the texture its durability (for choice of better word) isn't as good as HTC make out.

You can't even tell it's in a case and it's a perfect color match to the grey. It even fits in my PDAir holster with the case on.

I'm not here to say who is right and wrong, just to tell that I've send back my One X to HTC for one to one exchange due to flickering issue and from the job sheet stated the color was actually Brown.
I wish if there was some kind of polish that would restore the coating of the back and remove the shiny marks
perfect thing to remove shiny marks, a piece of sandpaper/emery paper, not recommended though on an expensive bit of kit like the one x.
honestly.....the only shiny parts would be oil from fingertips. I just rub it off and it looks new
And the phone is grey........the circle ring thing around the camera is brown

The polycarbonate (plastic) is shiny. The matte coating is applied. So you can't remove the "shiny," it's the matte coating having been removed that created it.
Well I guess it's just what happens to everything after a while. Used phones will end up looking used eventually!
Two thumbs up for this case thus far.
It is very easy to slide the phone into the case, and it requires just a little extra effort to remove it. The case is a tight fit all around. It feels sturdy and makes the phone easier to hold/grip with its more angular shape. The power button requires just a soft press, while the volume rocker requires twice the effort. The camera lens is protected and embedded ~1.5 mm within the casing.
Not sure if I am forgetting any thing else, but some pictures!

Comparing the thickness between the phone and the case (a little blurry, but you get the picture... no pun intended).
EDIT: Clearer pictures below!
I too got the case today with my Nexus =). I really liked the color and felt it was unique and a nice change from the black and white that every manufacturer seems to be pushing these days. I will agree on the buttons but nothing major. Seems like the phone will be safe should the horrific day arrive when the phone is dropped.
Cheers mates
Looks pretty cool
thanks
I bought the slim armor in black. I really appreciate the photos that you posted if you could post more close ups of the front and back I'm kind of curious about how thick the bezel is on the front mine should be here this week. Kinda wish I got champagne after seeing yours..
I love this quality and type of case. My friend has the same spigen for the S4 and I love the silicon/plastic style case on it. Good to see they made one for the N5.
Thanks for the pictures - mine is being shipped to me we speak . From what you've described/shown, everything looks great! Do you have a screen protector on their by chance? Wanted to know if the sides of the case make it lift off on the corners...
nice. the gold looks sharp, i was spit between that and the neo hybrid....ended up going for the neo-hybrid in gold
the white speaker dot actually looks pretty cool with a case on
FYI I noted in the other thread this case is significantly easier to put on and take off if you leave the two pieces together while doing it.

Hey, no problem. I believe you're asking to see a bird's view of the bezel with the case.
Also took some close-ups of the four sides for anyone who is curious:
Headphone port.
Charger port and speakers.
Right-side with power button.
Left-side with volume rocker.
Ordered the Black, looks like a great case. I like Spigen products.

I agree. The champagne color stands out and has a classy feel to it. Although I have to admit, I also like the white back of the N5. With a case or not, it is a good looking phone!

Solid point! I didn't remove the two pieces at all, which goes to show how easy the installation and removal are.
Nice looking case!
Just a few questions...
What is the back made out of?
Does it collect dust or finger prints?
Does it slide in and out of your pockets easily?
How is the grip?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the pictures. I'm glad they didn't go with the glossy back this time around.
I was wondering once you put this case on is it also easy removeble.
Wen i'm driving in a car i put de N5 in a car holder and with de case on i think it's to thick
for that holder.I just slide the phone in the holder.Not much space is there be left on the sides.
Does it work with wireless charger or too thick?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
A gorgeous case. I don't know whether to get the white or the gold colour way, both are really appealing.
Did you have any issues with the power button as mentioned in some of the reviews on Amazon?
From past experience, does anyone know what of a case thats for people who drop their phones a lot? One thats out now or coming in the future?

I'm curious on this point too. My champagne case should be delivered soon, but as I've just splashed out on (40% off) TomTom, I'd like to be able to mount the N5 on my dash. All my phones in the past have been naked, but since I've paid for this one myself I've got the Slim Armor for "protection". Maybe it's too early for the N5, but looking at other models are there ever solutions for mounting encased phones? Will the case stand up to occasional removal in order to mount on a car dash?
Come to that, has anyone yet seen a dash mount for the N5? Preferably vent-mounted; my last screen mount was broken by an over-eager MOT tester.
Thanks for any response from a forum lurker!

Hi guys, I bought Pudini leather flip case, this one: aliexpress.com flip leather case cover (but not from aliexpress).
It seems like nobody have this case so I just want to share my opinions and photos.

Review + photos
First impression (points 9 out of 10): This case came few hours ago and it's cheaper flip case (12€ app. $15.5) so I wasn't excepting anything outstanding but, when I touch it it was so good. It's fake leather, but feels good in hand and it doesn't attract dirt (and when it is dirty, it's easy to clean.. just light rub with finger or clothes). So first impression was great.
Pudini closed 1 | Pudini closed 2 | Pudini opened | Pudini back side
Build quality (8.5/10): Beautiful, really. everything is well made and cutted, it's not sewn so no strings around or so, it is looking really good.
Holes for 3.5mm jack, USB, mic (on top), loudspeaker, flashlight and camera is great but holes for front speaker is placed too high. Also holes for lock and volume button are way out... you can press them, but you need to place your finger almost on the back because buttons are too close to the case around front side and there's too much space on the back side (see photo: buttons).
Case doors and case details (8/10):
Case is great made. Fits perfect and Moto G doesn't felling out of case. When you want to pick up phone out of case, you need to be strong because it fits and holds so good and tough almost like official cover.
From top view, it looks like case doors doesn't fit, but they fit good. (photo top view)
Case doors are big disappointment for me. I was excepting magnet or little sucker that will suck on your screen, but nothing. Maybe there's another Pudini model for Moto G with "sucker" or magnet, but this doors was blank from inside (picture: Pudini inside doors) so the doors are not fully closed and you need to put your phone on table with the back facing up.
But in fact doors are opening 360° so when you arecalling or playing games they are not obstructing.
Final words
The case looks and feels really good, but there's some bugs that will take time for me to get over it. But I like this case and hope it will protect it for long
In the end, I think 25,5 points out of 30 is good isn't it?

Hi guys, I bought Pudini leather flip case, this one: aliexpress.com flip leather case cover but not from aliexpress. I just want to know this things about that case:
how big is phone with this case
how well you can open/close the case doors
what about build quality.. do you recommend this item? does this case fit well, is phone moving in it? etc.
I ordered brown one btw.
thanks for your reactions, it's my first case ever, so I'm little nervous about investing my 15€ (student without job so every euro worth gold for me)

Updated. And it's not bulky at all...
case is adding:
2 milimeters on width,
2-3 milimeters height
and
with opened doors around 1-2 milimeters on depth, with closed doors around 5 milimeters on depth (because theres 2 milimeters space between doors and display)
Bad case
That case is rubish. I have been using it for two months, and the cover got peeled off. Also, it doesn't have magnet, so the cover is allways getting opened. I don't recommed this case

it's cause the normal use of the mobile. The first month I was happy with this case, but when it started to get deteriorated I got dissapointed. I paid 7$ for rubish

I paid more.. I think I will sell it ASAP thanks
I got mine shipped from China in a little over a week, so fairly quick (ordered via AliExpress). It fits, but it's a little more difficult to press the side buttons with the case on. Of course it's harder to press the buttons accidentally in a pocket too, so maybe that's the idea. The cover does fold over, but doesn't lie perfectly flat, at least not initially - the hinge might flex a bit more over time. The cover is fairly stiff and sits a few mm above the screen when closed, so it provides protection against rubbing and scratching. Mine has a black exterior, as ordered, but weirdly the interior is beige, which seems a bit off. It comes with 2 screen covers which seem to be about the right size (didn't bother trying them) and a couple small polishing cloths. Not sure I would bother using this case all the time, but for occasional protection - sure, why not.
Anyone found a flip case with auto wake feature for the oneplus 7 pro?
Too bad OnePlus does not provide this cover with launch ?
Not seen the OnePlus version anywhere although there are some flip cases around in both Amazon and eBay.. I'm also waiting for the OnePlus case though..

The ones I saw on Amazon and Ebay are without the auto wake magnet function, still not found a nice flip case....
I ordered this one - https://nillkin.org/smartphones-acc...s-7-pro-accessories/nillkin-oneplus-7-pro-qin. Don't know if it has a magnet but will tell here when I receive it if someone does not beat me to it.

Thanx, not mentioned it on the site. I hope so
These look nice if a little on the expensive side.. I'd have sprung for one if there was some protection top and bottom. Still might.

In order to a do auto-wake the phone itself has to have a sensor for that magnet. The Galaxy phones have that, for example, but I didn't think the 7 pro has one. I'd love to be corrected if it does.

There are apps that will utilize the proximity sensor on your phone and turn the screen on when opening the case. I used the below app on my S8+ with my Otterbox Strada, it worked without any issues.

I know but I don't like that... Still waiting for a flip cover with auto wake..
Ordered this on ebay:
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fr...+Leather+Card+Wallet+Slim+Case+Cover&_sacat=0
It looks similar to my OP6 flip case ordered directly from OnePlus that has auto wake/sleep.

Looks nice, hope it has the auto wake feature...
So I have 3 flip cases currently, ordered the 4th (the one that looks like the OEM flip case) that's going to be here next week.

You can see them all in the attached jpg.
They each have their pros and cons, none of them are ideal (the Otterbox Strada is my ideal case, a tank that's lasted my old S7e the past 3 years) and NONE ARE SMART COVERS.
The far left in navy is the one on my device right now. Like the form, the color, and corner protection. The drawback is that I question how screen protector friendly it is, as the sides actually curl in PAST the factory-applied protector film. Don't know if the case will will fit with a TGSP installed. My guess is it won't, which is why I'm using it now.
The middle one has the most coverage along the sides, but it's thin compared to the case I just discussed. From my experience with its 6T counterpart, it's relatively durable so it will likely be my go-to when I apply a TGSP. Don't like the form (full-length spine where it folds, front cover is not merged into the back case) as much as the other two.
The one on the right is the Nillkin, a brand I've used since... my Nexus 6? Love the form factor, hate the durability. Expect the case to last for about 3 months before it's starts cracking, chipping, tearing. This one lasted 3 minutes -- one corner cracked when i put the phone in. WTF.

I'd be willing to pay Otterbox more money for a OP 7 Pro Strada case. Such a great case.
Brilliant review reaper000 thanks very much.
Dammit OnePlus get on with the official flip case.
I'm waiting for the Nillkin to be delivered. Oh no! Bad luck with that. Take your advice on the durability.
I actually prefer the full spine so that middle one might suit me. Prefer the complete cover on all sides too. My OP3 somehow got scuffed top and bottom in the official case. I don't seem to need the padding. Never considered the black but that looks ok.
Oh that damn kick stand fold.. Dino why do many cases have that. Hate it. Would try and glue the thing down.
Thanks again. [emoji106][emoji106]

This one says it's smart wake/sleep:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Official-F...5T-6T-7/153444097176?var=&hash=item23b9fb1c98
Just received the Nilkin flip case in black.
Pleasantly surprised by the quality. Soft cloth inner. Hard plastic full protection holster for the phone. Accurate cut outs. Hard nylon backed combined fake leather back and cover that folds quite flat and out of the way.
Doesn't sleep or wake, although the proximity sensor does already deal with that so not an issue for me. No magnet at all to help the case stay closed.. this is a smart minimalist cover that sacrifices ruggedness.
9/10 from me
