I can't embed the video for some reason so here's a link
http://youtu.be/B6s8GoKXmzs

is there a reason that alot of these cases are leaving those LARGE portions of the phone unprotected?

I agree, not ideal when it seems like a very expensive phone to repair. I've got a few on order that cover the fulll phone, i'll do reviews of those as soon as they arrive.

I've just got the white metal-slim case so i'll post a review of that later. It looks nice but I prefer the feel of the sandy case.

Just a bit of an update on this, the edges of the case have started to show signs of wear which after a week isn't great.
I'll post some pictures up shortly

Thanks for the update Oli2k! Makes me think twice before buying it. Got the same problem with Case-Mate Barely There, the finish is wearing off after 2 weeks.

No worries. It hasn't got much worse over the limited time I've used it but I doubt it would last months and months anyway.

wood case for samsung galaxy s3

I've seen a few variants mentioned here. Has anyone seen any others than the ones so far on this site?
Thanks in advance.

I just ordered a bamboo case from the Netherlands on Etsy. I'll try to post some pix once I receive it.

Why is this a dumb idea? Not everyone has to like the same thing. Obviously there's a market for this.

Sorry guys, but I have to agree that this is a pretty horrible idea. It's all a statement. How hard are you trying to differentiate yourself?

With that being said, I am selling an invisible case. Completely invisible. Even then packaging! All for a mere $20. Oh, and guess what? Free overnight shipping!

if you do a search tehre were at least two that i remember clicking.

I would pay upwards of $70 for a super thin wooden case. Maple or cedar would be amazing. I seen cases but there so fat. Just a super slim one would be nice.

I think quite a few kids that stalk these forums only look for cases that double as megatron transformer protectors of doom. I have a decent otterbox for when I go out to the field (military), and then a few nice thin ones for daily use. If you guys find any decent bamboo ones share the links!

Here’s the bamboo case I purchased on Etsy. I had to sand the base down a little for it to work with my Philips speaker docks, but other than that it's perfect.

What's with the hate on wooden cases? Unless someone can provide proof or situations where wooden cases have caused some sort of excessive overheating/burning... there's no reason it's a stupid idea. I have seen MUCH more ridiculous cases posted by people on this website. Tacky colors, cheap materials, hideous design concepts... how are those any less stupid than a wooden case? People pay thousands of dollars to have wood floors installed in their homes yet in order to improve its look yet it's a stupid idea to pay $40 for a case? Grow up kids.

Could you please provide a link to it or maybe provide a brand name? I'm not familiar with Etsy at all. A quick search on the site only found me a clip on back case similar to that one. Yours looks like its a slider and provides much more protection. It looks great and I'd definitely buy it if it's still available on etsy.
I also found some on eBay but I really hate buying from there especially when it comes from overseas since I almost got ripped off for an "OEM" Samsung Flip cover once before.

wrong galaxy phone....
some of the people on etsy make amazing products. I'm currently eyeing a handmade leather case for the Nexus 7 that resembles The Doctor and River Songs journal in Doctor Who.

Here is the same one that esty has for $40 for $15

[Q] Bumper

Hey guys,
Can any of you suggest a Bumper to me for my GSM Gnex? The reason I am asking is because mine has a small chip in the screen (no crack, *phew*) at the very bottom.
I like thin phones and I have seen in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D4Ff3xX4iw&feature=youtube_gdata_player that there is one that fits my needs. However, the link does not work for it.
So I am asking if any of you have a link for this product, or a very similar one. I would like to be out of the same materials.
Thanks!

I have one to recommend.

Here you go. These are aluminum though but I guess it's similar.

Anyone know of a reputable source for the case above? Just recevied my case and it wasnt the color I asked for or the style pictured. Not worth sending it back to china and eBay buyer protection wont have me backed in case I got the wrong item again.

This is what happens when you polish your p6

I have always used my p6 without any cover, as I find it a very attractive phone. The problem is that, after a year and a half, the back cover was full of scratches. So I though, what would happen if I rub out the black tint from it? Well, this is what I got:
Honestly, I did not like it at the very beginning, but after two days I am very happy of what I did, now scratches are not noticeable
NOTE: My warranty is probably gone for ever :silly:

Paint it with plasti dip!, you got balls for doing that to your phone lol

Haaa! Well done.

Nice! I was thinking of just removing the paint on the back plate with some chemistry!

I think it's better to buy a new cover, it's just for 10 bucks with free shipping.
Here's a link for example: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...arts-Back-Cover-glass-Housing/2007153837.htmlhttp://www.aliexpress.com/item/Genu...-Door-Cover-Replacement-free/32286462958.html

The original white paint on my P6 is peeling... I don't know if I should peel off all of it however

Would it mess with the signal if I can touch the metal?

I'm sorry bit it looks awful. The paint is not even removed completely.

I'm having the same problem,have you removed it completely if so tell me how,i mean if there's special chemistry coz polishing
sounds like not a good idea.

Unofficial back covers?

So the sites are flooded with unofficial back covers for the Oneplus 3, which brand case are you using (supposedly not over priced as the official ones.) There are just a couple (rosewood and flip cover i guess) of official cases I find on Amazon here in India which are priced way to high. Any suggestions ??

I'm using the sandstone cover from OnePlus. I'm considering also buying the black apricot as I think that's the second best-looking, in my humble opinion.

Yea I would love to see those, but sadly not available in India
