Anyone know if there is a chance of getting bumpers made for the One? This phone looks too good to cover up but it would be nice to have minimal protection.

I would expect to see the Poetic Borderline from Poetic. They had it for the N4.
Wow those are new to me, very slick.
The poetic borderline and atmosphere cases are under $10 on Amazon

surely those will look stupid with the phone's curved back?? :s
The borderline case looks a bit "stupid," especially on the top and bottom. The atmosphere in the other hand, actually looks really good. So good, I already ordered one.

hmm thats certainly a much more attractive option.
is the back just clear plastic though? why is the upper right one larger, there's a microphone there isnt there?
the only things that put me off getting a case is that a) the device gets bigger and b) it no longer fits into docks etc.
Case is completely clear except for the sides. And great the hole on the top right is bigger because if the Mic. As far as adding bulk, the case not as thick as you might think. I've seen these cases on the iPhone and it looks really good. I like the fact that its clear and the look of the phone is retained. Personally I just use a case when I'm not home or at work.

If you were to accidentally drop the phone while it had one of those Poetic Borderline cases on it, and it landed flat on its back, would the first thing to hit the floor be part of the bumper or part of the phone?

Of course bumper, check the design you'll see it clearly.
Bumper cases are nice but HTC's own flip case will look classy.

dont be so sure about the flip case
first impressions from those who have them are bad - shame really as I am getting one for free and the stand aspect is really nice.
ill be going with my usual very low profile case w/ screen protector combo and then after maybe 6 months take the case off!

The flip case will serve a purpose but I wouldn't have it for everyday use, its basically thick card with microfibre lining.
I've posted a few pics of the HTC Flip case

It's anything but clear in the photos that I've seen. On most phones bumpers certainly will protect the phone if it's dropped on its back, but most phones don't have anywhere near as much curvature on the back of the case as the One has - a bumper would have to stick out a long way at the edge in order to protect the middle.
The Spigen Neo Hybrid for the Nexus 5 is a solid case. I've received it from Amazon yesterday for a mere $20 and this case has been performing really well so far. All the ports are nicely cut and positioned. One drawback I've noticed is that the power and volume rocker buttons do have space to wiggle around a bit. You can slightly hear them rattling if you shake your phone but they aren't too big of a problem.The USB cutout is large and wide, making it possible to use almost any charging cable. The same applies to the headphone jack. The back of the case tends to show a few fingerprints but they can be wiped off easily. The case does provide a lip, so it is possible to lay the phone on the screen without worrying too much about getting it scratched (though it is not a big enough lip to be protective during falls on rough surfaces). I've attached a good amount of pictures since I am able to post them yet. Overall, I would recommend this case to someone because it's sleek and sturdy despite a few small drawbacks.
Nice

I've got the same case. Looks good. I'm still waiting for my phone though.
I've had my Neo Hybrid (silver edging) taunting me while sitting on the nightstand since Saturday. Cannot wait for my phone to arrive tomorrow.
Nice review. I've just ordered the Spigen ultra hybrid (with clear back) from Amazon. I'll post some pics and findings as soon as I have it.
is the case itself heavy?

Not really. The case doesn't add much bulk to the phone itself other than changing the size of the phone a tad bit.

I did find that it added a lot in dimension in height and width, but not thickness. Makes the phone feel slightly larger than a G2 even.

The only phone I have to compare it with is the Samsung S3 and the case does make the Nexus 5 larger than the S3 (You can pretty much fit the S3 on the Nexus and there will still be a small amount of room on the sides).

Have you tried it the phone and the case on a wireless Qi charger yet? If so, did it work?

Yes it works.
Also have this case, although not as impressed with it.
The biggest complaint is the buttons. The buttons don't have a great feel to them. They wiggle (as mentioned by OP) all the time, the phone is actually annoyingly loud to move around (it's not loud, but it's certainly noticeable).
Other complaint is the USB port. While the OP thinks it's big enough, I can't fit in my Monster MicroUSB cable (I know all the hate about Monster, but the cable is 3" and was under $1 at Frys at one point). Wouldn't typically be a problem, but I use this cable a lot.
The headphone jack does allow my headphones to fit, but it's very close. Not sure if other headphones will have issues, but I'd be slightly worried about it.
Besides those complaints, it's a solid case. It looks great, appears that it'd protect the phone well. All in all, I am not planning on replacing it any time soon... unless my "ideal" case happens to come out... We shall see! The Qi charger still works through the case, along with NFC tags that I've tried thus far.

I ordered one of these which came today. Not real happy with it, as the "clear" back really ISN'T "clear", kinda milkyish and that's after scrubbing at it with a microfiber cleaning cloth for many minutes. The slim armor is easily better, even if it lacks a transparent back.

Did you remove the protective films off both sides of the clear plastic parts? Majority of the people who bought this didn't realize there's something protecting the plastic...

have you checked out the supcase? I just ordered one. It has black borders and frosted clear back, which should help hide scratches and dust.
Have this case and pretty happy with it as well. I just wish the power button was flush with the case. Don't know if anyone else has this problem, but I accidentally hit power all the damn time...
I just received my neo hybrid case... I am not a big fan at all. It makes the phone super bulky. I think this case is awesome for those wanting protection with style but I think I'm going to risk it and go with a skin or just naked.

yea I feel the same way. Am waiting on my diztronic, as well as the supcase unicorn beetle. The thing with the neo hybrid is that it made it boxy as well as wider and taller, which made it very hard to hold and feel bulky. Not to mention taking it off was a chore.
I just got this case today and it is nice. But honestly the phone has a nice rubberized back and sides where I don't feel a case is always necessary. The case adds major width. But it is high quality.

Got my Poetic Affinity Case in today and figured I'd write a quick review. These poetic cases are very similar to UAG in looks and design but for 1/3 of the price. They are single peice hard poly carbonate and very ridged. Overall a nice design with a clear back to show off the beauty of your aluminum backed phone, offer a nice lip around screen for medium drop protection. My only issue is that the buttons are a little stiff but I suspect they will break in over time. I'm satisfied with my purchase and feel like it was a really good deal at around $10. It plays well with my spigen crystal screen protector and offers a good grip and feel in hand. If you guys have any questions feel free to ask. Sorry for the quality of the pics all I has was an s3 to take them.
how is the grip on it?
I had the Spigen Bumper Premium and it was still too slick for me..
Right now i have this case.. Zizo armor.. Super grippy.. but had to modify the power opening.. plus it squares off the phone and doesn't really show the HTC Beauty..
i got a Poetic Affinity case, it's a PIA to take it off if you want to, after the second time i took it off never put it on again, using Orzly FlexiCase now

in all honesty the case looks and feels good, great grip, my 2 issues with it was the taking it off because its harder "plastic", and the other issue was that the case doesn't exactly fit on top of the back of the phone, so it gets a lot of dust under there and you're gonna want to clean it.
If you can manage to take it off better than i could i would recommend the case, makes the phone a lite more bulkier but shouldn't be a problem, it wasn't for me.
I just got the Spigen rugged armor today, it's really great too, using it now!
IMO:
Poetic: good protection and good looks, still showing off your metal
Spigen Armor: good protection and good looks, no metal show off
Orzly crystal: not as good protection (thinner) but still good, and very transparent
Sorry for mentioning other cases on this thread but those are the 3 i got and i can give my opinion on

no problem. i already ordered the poetic. looks like it should arrive monday.. just hoping its a great case for me.. im very picky lol
Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk
well my case came today...
First Impressions:
Good:
1. Case feels premium.
2. Phone has great grip and texture.
3. Cutout for charger seems to be large enough for all my chargers, but will test more later.
4. Clear plastic is thick and doesn't have any tinting.
5. Cutouts for camera and speakers and mics seem perfect.
6. Buttons work great and have grip on them.
Bad:
1. Headphone cutout is small, should work for standard headphone plugs, but for a computer speaker plug in, it will not fit.. i may need to modify.
It will be interesting to see how the case does after a few days of testing... hopefully it will hold up as I really like the style and feel.
Thank you.
Shadows?
Came across this case the other day in my internet travels looking for something similar to my Supcase Unicorn Beetle Hybrid for my M8. The only case SC has for the 10 looks like a gawd damn brick. Ok for some, just not me. So, my question is, can anyone please confirm whether photos taken in this case cause any kind of blur, or shadow, from the cut out. I'm not talking about the known issues with lens flare here too, just to clarify. I've never owned a clear case but have heard of some that do cause a shadow (I am assuming a reflection from flash off the clear cut out).
Cheers.

That's exactly what i'm looking for. Thanks for the replies J4G, and the review.
Hey man, I was just about to purchase from Amazon, thought i'd read through some of the reviews and some people are advising where the camera cut out is, the case sits up off the phone a little (i.e. not flush with phone), allowing debris in through the cut out. Looks flush from your last pic. Is this true?? I really don't mean to sound pedantic want to make sure I'm happy with case before I pull the trigger cause there's none to be found in Oz and I don't want to have screw around with returns.

from what i can see, that does appear true... I haven't seen much dust and debris get in there.. however i have only had it on a few days. :silly:
I will say that a lot of people said they are a pain to get off.. however I can attest that mine is like any other case.. it does hold on well, but just peel back a corner and then work on another corner, it pops right out.. so should be easy to clean..
I've heard about the RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper Cases. Apparently, they can withstand 11ft drops on concrete. Has anyone had any experience with them in the past? Do they hold up? I am deathly afraid of cracking my S8 Plus but also find the idea of covering up my GORGEOUS phone with a case to be stupid. Thoughts?

Mine just shipped today, hopefully it'll arrive by the weekend.
My 2¢
I like idea of a bumper frame, paired up with a clear or matte body skin on the backside.
Can I attest to the extremes of the protection, not even gonna try, but , from previous use on other devices, it should do the job as advertised.
They add a bit more width to the grip of the phone than one might imagine, but, I don't think that will be an issue with this phone, it has a relatively narrow grip as-is.
I'll post when it arrives & will decide whether it becomes my daily driver case (Other two are the OEM Clear Case & OEM Alcantara Case).

I have it, the power button is a little tough to push, but I like it a lot!! Skin looks great with it
^looks like the best bumper for us! Cool
I perorder mines (and one for me wife after she saw the videos she wanted it)
They said mines has been ship but no tracking number yet
I like the idea of not coving up your phone.
I went caseless back in the day with the plastic phones. But with the new all glass/metal phones its a bit different. The metal gets bend and the glass breaks.

Looks good. Might get it with a skin as well.
Thanks.
Had one on my 6P. Dropped a number of times without any damage to the frame or screen. I will be getting one for my S8+ as well.
As for the power button being stiff...give it a week or so to break in. It gets easier to push.
My RhinoShield bumper arrived today & my 2¢:
Overall,it seems like a half-baked effort.
The sides do not cling to the phone well/gapping.
While I expected the case to add some width to the grip,they could have done a better job contouring the edges,the feel-in hand is akin to the S7 Edge,not good at all.
Buttons are extremely stiff to depress,should not be like this out of the box & require a "breaking-in" period.
For those that are planning on using a TGSP, the case may tighten up a bit,IDK,I don't use anything other than liquid sealers on my displays.
I may cut out the buttons & try using it like that. If it works out OK,I may use it on occasion,but,this case definitely falls in to the "occasional use only" category, I'll stick w/the OEM Samsung Clear hard case as a daily driver.
To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement,too bad Nillkin isn't making bumper cases anymore..........................

I kind of agree with you. I was super excited for mine to come in, however, i was fairly disappointed when it arrived.
Exact same issues with it as you.
i also got one the other day and the fit is pretty bad, the sides of the bumper dont fit the phone well and for $25 i would have expected a lot better. I ordered a cheap spigen case off amazon for $11 and it fits much better then this does.

I've already boxed mine up,contacted EvoLutive Labs via e-mail & requested a refund.
I stated the reasons pretty much the same as we've experienced,hope to hear back in a day in a day or two.
I've been pleased w/their past efforts,but,this one is a fail. Perhaps those w/the S8 are having a better experience,probably not experiencing the loose fit as we are,chalk that up to the extra height of the S8+.
A tight fit is a challenge here,but,I feel it could have been better.
Forgot to post back.
I got my case a few days ago and been using it. It works for me so far.
The sides of the case does fit a little lose, but the phone doesnt slide around it. So all that is fine, its probably has something to do with the protection it offers.
The buttons are a bit on the hard side to push in.
The back have a nice lip so the camera and everything is lifted up. Same for the front.
The edges on the front are a bit exposed but it would have to be in order to use the phone. But it still seems like it would protect.
The phone feels great in this guard. there arent any sharp corners on the bumper.
I had a thin silicon case that had sharp corners on the ports and it would cut into my hand. This one doesnt do that which is great.
Also funny that my silicon case was suppose to be super thin but yet this bumper makes the phone seems alot thinner then the phone in the silicone case.
I got the black one and a blue on on the way for my wife. I doubt she will use it since i brought her a wallet case before she got her phone.
I'm still waiting on mine. I got an email with a tracking # finally, but it still says pre-shipment. So I guess it won't be showing up this week.

Yea therr shipping is weird.
Normally they email ypu saying your order is fulfilled.
Then a day or 2 later you get a tracking number.
It will say pershipment. Then a day or 2 later it will get pick up.
And then about 2-3days for it to make it to you.

I've never used a skin/wrap before and bring averse to bulky cases I thought I might give them a try.
If you've used them before I'd like to know more about your experience: ease of application, residue after removal, durability/longevity, feel and overall satisfaction.
I returned my XZ1 compact and have pre-ordered a pixel 2 and would like to have my accessories in place when it arrives.
Thanks for the feedback!

Easy to apply, use a hair dryer and be patient
No residue after removal
No issues with longevity. They seem to stick around. Sometimes at the beginning you get a lot of dirt trapped along the edges but that goes away.
The biggest thing for me is grip and honestly none of the regular skins offer anything meaningful. Even the dragon one from Dbrand which was supposed to be super grippy didn't feel noticeably different to me than a regular skin. Dbrand has a narrow scoped, predictable, good product and great customer service. Meaning, they aren't offering crazy variety but just offering what they know works reliably. SlickWraps goes out of their way to make unique textures and materials such as natural wood and leather. Many people have had a ton of CS issues with them though. My favorite skin of all time is Alcantara from SlickWraps as it is soft touch and grippy but it does not go all the way around and also is rather thick.
I usually wind up with something like Peel as a case.

Thanks for the info. You're right, they aren't shipping yet but the real world user feedback is helpful.
Slickwraps!
Happy to help!

We're shooting for this Friday
My first time trying a wrap. I'm not a fan of cases. But this just feels and looks like I have a sticker on my phone - especially on the curved backside corners.
It also collects fuzz like crazy. I'll be pulling mine off when my case gets here, out maybe just leave it on in my case.

Unless you go the natural selection, they are literally stickers lol. That fuzz collection will stop once the residual adhesive on edges fades
Anyone else have experiences with skins on this phone
Anybody know if there is a camera lens protector available? I'm worried about scratching it, but I don't want the bulk of a case.

I'm looking as well, when I had a Nexus 5 couple years ago. I think slickwraps or possibly dbrand was selling lense film protectors for it, but I have yet to find one for the pixel2

I just wanted to add my feedback on the dbrand dragon skin.
The dragon skin has a really nice leathery feel and definitely adds grippiness to the phone.
However, the one down side of using a full back + side skin is that because the physical power and volume buttons don't protrude very much from the phone, you kind of lose the tactile feel of them.
Kind of torn as to keep or peel it off. It is kind of weird not to be able to feel the power and volume buttons
Anyone get anything like Alcantara yet?

Do you get the sense that a case would fit over the skin? I'm considering one, but wouldn't necessarily want to remove and ruin it if I opted for a case afterward.

I used the spigen case over the dbrand skin for a couple days and it fit just fine. However, I decided I preferred no case - the dragon skin feels really nice with great grip.
One thing I do recommend from dbrand is to get a glass skin (or use the bonus one that's included) in addition to your normal full skin. The doubling up (or even tripling) of skins on the glass section make it just high enough to clear the stupid camera bump, and hopefully help prevent it from scratching when putting your phone on it's back.
I prefer clear TPU skins. They add significant grip on your hands and don't slide on flat surfaces. Plus, they are clear so you don't hide the phone's design.

Yikes. I've never seen anything like this. I believe I've had both Dbrand and SlickWraps, and both have been great, no fuzzies, and go on clean and tight. I had a nice light and dark wood (stickers only) for my Note5. I also have a real leather one that I never used, and may try to "mod" it for my Pixel 2 XL that's in the mail (so excited!!). I hate to see that nice leather go to waste. But it probably won't match up well and will probably look super-wanky. We'll see.
And the Pixel 2 looks like it may have the Nexus 5 soft matte back, am I wrong? Skins may not stick quite right, as opposed to the glass-back of the Note5.
(edit: just realized we have a Pixel 2 XL forum as well. I thought they'd just use one, but apparently dev is diff for each? Interesting...)
Love my red panda
Here my Dbrand with color G logo.
