I searched but can't seem to find anyone posting about the Crucial Mix twin case.
Has anyone tried it?
I just ordered one online from Korea (the black/gold variant). It looks nice. Has the soft rubbery casing that I like (rather than glossy plastic or silicon) but the tight metalic bumper to go around the edge so everything is on securely (and looks a little fancier).
It comes in a range of colors and you can choose silver or gold for the bumper.
I'll post some pics up when I get it.
In the mean time. Here's some stock shots...
Doesn't look too bad, kind of reminds me of the Neo Hybrid. Only thing that might bother me is how it kind of makes it looks more like an Iphone, what with the way it makes the back flat and all. Maybe it is just the photo angles though.
I bought one earlier, immediately ditched it. Fit was bad, quality is very plasticy, it will never look that snug fit like in the photos, because there is a hole for the antenna, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

They actually look good!
I would not recommend either. The plastic band around the phone slides around and is such a bad fit.

Thanks. I've read similar complaints. Too bad. They look really nice.
Just a quick review of one of the better cases that I have come across...for those who dont like TPU and soft cases were the lip around the screen would easily peel back, and dont feel like actual part of the phone...Seems to be the only option was to run with no case, or them clip on cases.
The Momax UltraThin is the best case for myself at the moment, offering all that I am after, a phone that is still slim, protects it from minor scratches...I admit, not much drop protection but then, even thicker cases dont always promise absolute protection.
Anyways, the case is well lipped, accurate and precise, the holes for the buttons are well placed and shaped, overall very easy, as if there was no case on. The camera hole is well flushed to the camera itself.
Most of all this case actually clips on very tight and firm, just the way I like it...there is no give or any gap or loose points like TPU cases or SGP Neos...its just a firm case, that makes you feel like you are holding onto a phone without any added bulk...
Plus, the paint job on it is absolutely stunning...pretty flawless, high quality product...for a fair price...Ill let the photos do the talking...
Cheers.
Nice and simple case. The price seems cool too, thanks for sharing the product, I'll have a look at it!
Looks very nice. Where did you get it from?

I got mine on Ebay, shipping took about 1 week to New Zealand which is as slow as things get...
Also, is the material on the inside part of the case metal? I'm afraid it would scratch the plastic on the back of the phone if there's any rubbing.. ?

It is plastic, very smooth so I do not think it would scratch at all unless there is sand or other small hard particles between the case and phone.
What is different from other mesh cases ?

There are no mesh that allows small dusts to get between case and phone I suppose? I believe it also comes in transparent as well...
Have the same case - price and quality are perfect. I like that comparing to original phone materials this case feels like good-old soft-touch back panel. Only drawback I can find is that this case can be scratched easily - after a month of carrying my phone mainly in the pocket there appeared lots of small scratches. I bet this is due to the material of the case.
is there any problem with voice conversation like other ebay cases ?
No gps problem ?

Not a fan of cases that expose the top or bottom of the phone so I am still looking while my S2 is in transit.

wow, this looks good. anyone have experience with the company?
Just ordered one of these which will be with me in a few weeks from Hong Kong. Should be a nice compromise between a hard case + screen protector with no screen protector and one of these.
Looks far less bulky than a wallet case too.
Nice find
I've just ordered one too :good:
http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=mofi+nexus+5&catId=0
~5£ including shipping on aliexpress, also ships from china so will probably take 20+ days but I think i'll probably get this and a clear bumper case like spigen or orzly.

I don't know which one is better, both are interesting. My only doubt, for both products, is the back quality, as for what I understood they clasp directly on the mattee surface of the phone. If the cover is badly cut, then back scratches are possible... so I think I'll wait for some feedback first

Cool, any chance for some pictures? Would be cool to see some real pics of it.
yes pictures please!!!! how is the material? hard or soft? do the cutouts align properly?
I just got one about 5 days ago but they just ship out on 26. Will update some pics as soon as I received it
mine just arrived and I would concur that it is very nicely made, fits very snugly against the phone. If it have a hole for the notification light, and a small suction cup to keep the cover closed like the pudini it would be perfect! Let me know if you want me to take more pictures.

It have a magnet to do the sleep/wake function but the magnet isn't strong enough keep it closed, hence my comment having suction cup thing
Looks cool !! But for $7 is a bit hard to trust the leather quality ...
Mine just arrived and man this thing is heavy for a case but is very good quality for £6.50 including shipping. It's so much nicer now that the screen wakes up as soon as you open the case.
All in all very impressed.
Garbage
This case is crap guys. The material feels nasty and tends to grip pocket lining making it difficult to slide in and out. The flip cover seems to be fashioned out of metal (based on the weight and rigidity) and I have noticed signal reception fluctuating with flap orientation. I get that it's a $10 and expectations are low, but you can do much better than this. Anyone tried to the Nilikin or can recommend any other quick cover knockoffs?
Today I looked for a leather case with a sleep/wake magnet.
Until now 3 out of 5 do not have a magnet - the other's answer is still outstanding.
However what I really don't get is: Why does no case have a cut-out for the notification light. I would even say, that this is more crucial than the cut-out for the earpiece.
Or does anyone know such a case?
So I've had the OF-7 for a few days now, and so far, my only complaint with the larger than normal ("Normal" being a Nexus 5 for me) screen size for me is the texture of the backplate. Its too smooth, and with the weight, it feels unsafe. I pre-ordered, so they sent me the flip cover which actually feels a lot better in the hand..
Unfortunately I take a lot of videos, so when the flip cover is open and I'm taking video, it gets in the way of the video. Does anyone know where I can buy another backplate that has a better texture to it than the stock smooth one? Thank in advance!

Well, the OnePlus is essentially the same device and its getting backplate alternatives, so we could see that coming to the Find 7 in the near future, but i don't know. Or maybe some third-party company starts to make them, like dBrand for example.

I thought the same about the stock backplate. I loved the feel of the Easy Cover but I don't like flip covers. So I cut the flip part of the cover off. Just cut the flip part along the crease where it naturally folds over. Then, using a nice sharp pair of scissors, Trim the remaining faux leather so it is flush with the plastic edge underneath. The side with the volume rocker has the plastic underneath the faux leather extending past the side of the phone. Just use some sand paper to make it flush with the part that is indented to accommodate the volume rocker. I found that the plastic overhang was reducing faster than the faux leather. Just sand some of the plastic then use the scissors to cut it flush again and continue until the plastic overhang is gone and flush with the sides of the phone. Then you might want to rough up the plastic edge on the power button side. This makes both sides uniform and gives better grip. When everything looks nice and flush use a lighter to melt any frayed faux leather. It probably took me 30 mins because I was a little obsessed with making it look nice. The end result is that it's flush with the left and right sides. It doesn't look hacked together at all. The only asymmetry is that the side that had the flip doesn't have stitching. I've attached pictures. Hopefully it works since I have less than 10 posts.
Wow, that's really well done Doc!
Might have myself a little weekend project here.
I'm really waiting for a thin case like Spigen or Incipio make for the Galaxy series. Nice matte feel for better grip and very thin.
the tchichs
Thnaks, I'm happy with the results. Almost everyone who I've shown my new telephonic smart device to has commented on how good the backplate feels. Give it a try. I'm not super craftsy or anything so anybody should be able to do it. The most tedious part was sanding down the lip on the volume rocker side. I used coarse grit sandpaper but if you had a rotary tool it would go much faster.

The Find 7 Premium has the carbon fiber back-plate. That is suppose to feel more secure. Maybe you can get it already somehow from China.
I have been able to shoot video with the flipcover, ARe you sure you can't acclimate to it? It's also not a bad idea in the protection department.
If you tilt your phone to the right instead of the left and hold the cover closed from the bottom it's not too awkward (for me anyway).
The white back actually has a really nice texture and is not as slippery as the black one. I actually want to see about ordering a replacement but in black. I think it would look cool, black front, white middle molding and black back I hope they start to sell just the backs. I emailed Oppstyle about it. Hopefully they will sell me a black one
I have the white back and still thought it was a little too slippery. I bought a black Nillkin case and Nillkin glass screen protector. The case is a nice textured softouch plastic. It fits great does not add much girth and no more slipperiness. Looks great with white peaking through the speaker and camera cutouts.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nillkin-Mat...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item4d1b84f4c2
The glass protector went on easy but I had a bubble that I could not get out. After 2 days the bubble went away with occasional rubbing. Glass feels great but shows fingerprint oil more than stock. I don't like the ear piece/sensor cut out, I would have preferred a separate cut out for each. Seems kind of stupid putting glass on to protect gorilla glass butt people always loved the glass protectors so I thought I would try it. Since the case and protector came to $19 together, what the heck, give it a try. Shipping from China to SoCal was about 10days..

I have this exact setup. Can confirm the glass is very nice and the case is much better than the eBay ones.

Most people have reported that it has very little to no effect. I've barely used the front camera but I just looked at it and it looked fine to me.
Have anyone found a Place to order replacement back covers, I bought a midnight but would like to try the white and carbonfiber backcover to. Don't have the phone right now as I had to send it back to Oppostyle to get it replaced, but they still don't have any stock. Asked them about getting carbonfiber or white back covers, they checked with Oppo and they answered that they had no plans to sell back covers seperately.

Kedros is doing a mass / bulk order of fake-carbon / third-party back covers over at the official oppo forums right now.
If you want to snatch a carbon look-a-like cover, or simply midnight / white spares, thats the place you got to go.
Kedros charges 4.80€ per cover + 1€ shipping (china international) + 5% paypal fees.
Don't think you will find it any cheaper elsewhere.

Can somebody please manufacture a high quality leather case for the HTC U11+ ?
I can't find one online. Does it even exist yet?
Please let me know if you find a good leather case for it.
Thank you.
The case should offer enough protection while at the same time supporting the edge sense feature.
I used the included Clear plastic case, AND then purchased a high quality leather case from Piel Frama which has a pull tab.
The IPhone 7 plus case is a perfect fit for the U11+ with the included clear case.
I don't think that there will be many cases for this device as the U12 is 6 months away.

There are 4 small holes on the bottom right of the pouch. This allows for the speaker notification sounds to come through easily when the phone is in the pouch. Very clever. Perfect for this device.
This is one of the many problems with the leather cases on amazon. The product images are clearly fake.
I found this online,

Have no idea about the quality but it looks good to my eyes :fingers-crossed:
Edit: The exact same case as above is available in aliexpress for half the price.
Edit: I found one more https://www.noreve.com/en/u11/3475-htc-u11-leather-cover.html
The above link is for U11 but they are currently in the process for making it for U11+ as well. Expensive but looks very high quality.

I received it today (1-9) . Cannot find a magnet. So it will not close by itself. Inside there is a glued cover (plastic) Fits, nice. All buttons are accessible and all the microphones are accessible too. Smells like real leather. Nicely wrapped in a box and bubble plastic.
Noreve has 3 models available now for pre-order, I ordered one (back cover only), should get it by the end of the month...

I also got the same a few days ago. https://goo.gl/9t2V3u
It is of a very good qualtity and smells like real leather. The top cover attatch to the bottom with a magnet. If it don't you have to bend the top cover to back and front a few times because the new leather is stiff. After that mine attach to the bottom without any problem.
But, the opening to the volume and power -button is too small for me. You need small fingertips or use your nail to reach them. Its also missing an opening for the led at the top so I can't see it when charging or messages has arrived. Also it is very hard to use the fingerprint scanner if you don't have small fingertips. I have inform the seller/company about this and they will probably fix i in the next batch, they say.
As I said the quality is very good, exept what I have mentioned but maybe a bit overdone. With this case the package feels very thick, with the plastic bed for the phone and quite thick leather on top of that again. Solid, looks very exclusive no doubt, but to mutch I think.

I got a new leather case today. https://goo.gl/ea8Jr4
It feels lighter and not so compact/heavy as the earlier mentioned case.
But this case as the earlier one is missing a hole/opening for the charger/message-LED. It seems that companies who make this leather cases is missing this. The LED is not visible on the phone until it lights up. On the first case I made a hole for it but on this one, if I make one, it will destroy one of the vertial seam.

You are right. After a few days of use I noticed there is a magnet. Sorry.
Received my noreve case, I got the synthetic leather one, back only ( there was a discount going on at the time, got it for 29€). Took about 20 days for delivery.
First impression is very positive, on first sight feels like really high quality, the synthetic leather seems to be of a high quality kind, fits perfectly... exept two things, one I knew about, the other one, I could live with.
First is the big cut outs for the squeeze feature, they look kinda ugly and we know that this feature works with most cases anyway... Thats why I got the black case to minimize this cutout...but still, not good.
Second thing is that the back mic cutout is not centered, mind you it doesn’t cover the mic, but just barely.
So in its current state, I wouldn’t buy it again, but having started a mail exchange with them, as it is a handmade on order brand, I think I will be able to place a special order without the cutout and with the mic hole centered correctly...
Will let you know how it goes...
Ok so my last update on the noreve case, I decided to return the one I got, didn't look good with the big cutouts for the squeeze feature...
Also they couldn't accomodate my idea for a case without these cutouts, as it would have been too expensive and too difficult for a one off case...
Back to square one, did not find a really nice case yet...
