Thanks for sharing; however you would have been better off posting in the Cases thread where we all go to see what's happening in the world of cases.

Agree with above poster, can a mod fix this?
Nice case! ive also ordered 1 last week at PDAir, the 1 without a screen, so easy acces, but fewer protection. I am hoping its more solid so i can put it in my back pocket without getting a red face everytime i realize i accidently put it there...
When did you order it and did it took long (i am eager to get mine, but now hope is gone till monday or tuesday...)
I disagree.
The "Cases" thread is too long and too complicated for discussing any one specific case.
Anyway I ordered mine just a moment ago and would very much like to hear how quick was the shipment, how snug is the fit and how reassuring the neoprene feels
It's a shame they opted for a plastic screen protector instead of either a window-less aluminum door or a transparent cover that lets you work with the touchscreen.

mohasea,
How thick is the plastic cover over the screen?
Does the plastic cover flex?
Do you think the plastic cover would prevent the screen being cracked if dropped screen down on ummm concrete?

I totally agree, wish they had a solid aluminum front door instead of the window cut-out covered in plastic or the other option they have of no plastic window cut-out. I would order one now,even not having my Leo yet, just because the front door was solid aluminum.
I am going to contact PDair and see if they would leave a few front doors out of the cnc cutter and have a full cover aluminum
Would you like one too, Duperman ?
Thank you,
Monnie
I have ordered an open screen case despite it may not fully protect the screen. HD2 has a glass screen and it is hard enough against scratch as what has been in iphone.
Would you like one too, Duperman?

Absolutely
Mine, the one without screen plastic, is supposed to arrive between now and Jan 27th next year...(sometime)
take care
Anyone got theirs yet?
Would love to see some detailed photos and a review of the case pros/cons
Thank you,
Monnie
I'm debating whether to go with their leather flip case or this aluminum case...
I got this case and immediatly wished there was no plastic screen on the front door. So, I held it over some boiling water for about 2 mins and and then used my thumb nail (not kidding it was easy) to pry the plastic from the metal. The whole lot peeled off easily, i replaced the foam into the case and BAM perfect case. (be careful not to rip the foam, but if you do it will still stick back. also the foam stretched out a bit but pushed back into shape no problem. TIP: Work from the front side of the case, wedge your nail into the seem and loosen it all the way around. If it starts to get tough again, hold it over steam for a while longer.
Also.. when the plastic was still inplace and the case door was closed, there would be random screen presses and that was not cool, however now that the plastic is out, i can leave the door closed, press when I want too, AND there is no random case presses
I know this sounds like a poor fix, but it worked awesome and it looks like it was SUPPOSED to come this way.
Now all i need is for my zag shield (front only) to show up and im perfectly protected (minus water damage dammit)
awesome case guys im not kidding. you dont have to put the nubbin on in the back either so it doesnt add much bulk to teh phone. good luck yo.
Got mine too and I use the black open faced aluminum for local use and insert the whole unit;
aluminum case and all into the Maxpedition "Rat" wallet for carrying on belts etc.... http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/...&idcategory=11
Like it alot....
FWIW
well, do not kill me if I say so .. but it is ugly as hell.
I do not say that it does not protect the phone, or the the finishing it's not ok .. but from a slim phone with a huge screen, it looks like a bullet proof brick with a screen.
The whole idea of an elegant smartphone it's gone.
Small question: what do you hate about the original leather case?
It is elegant, slim easy to use and protect the phone in normal use conditions or small accidents.
Capdase Alumor Metal Case
Bought this silicon w/ aluminium backcover case by CAPDASE in Hong Kong, adding a more "solid" feel over the pure silicon case. It comes with a CAPDASE screen protector as well.
http://www.mobimega.com/capdase-alumor-metal-case-htc-hd2.html
Beware that the silicon case may not glue well to the aluminum backcover (I think it's the factory problem) which may leave a small gap between them when you put the phone in. I have to apply some glue to fix that myself. Apart from the case is nice and not too costly.

Hi,
I am seriously thinking about ordering one for my Desire (A8181).
But what I'm not able to find, is how it works. I mean, you seem to describe the case as a silicone skin, with a metal plate sticked to it.
I thought it was more like a silicone skin with another semi-case to "clip" over the silicon....
Can you confirm if I am right or wrong?
And can you post multiple angles pictures?
Thank you, it would be much appreciated!
thanks but
so uglly
Ohh Great!
Thanks for the pictures! To me is one of the best cases i've ever seen.
I want to buy 2 back covers, one black and if possible a white one as well. I dont care about NFC.
Now I also want to know if there is such a thing as a back cover protector which we apply on the screen? You know a transparent plastic sheet at the back would really help reduce the scratches from the back cover and wouldnt bulk up the phone and also preserve it's looks.
probably check Ebay
has anyone found any good ones they'd reccomend?
I have the Skinomi carbon fiber skin for my Asus Transformer Prime. It is great. My question is the skin for my Prime came in multiple pieces and it was a pain to get the small, thin strips that went on the sides of the tablet to stay on. They kept peeling up so I eventally just took them off. I see that the rear protector is one piece and it wraps around the edge of the phone. If anyone can give some feedback on how well the M8's techskin fits that would be great.

Try a hair dryer or heat gun to get the corners to stick.
I just got mine yesterday. But installed it badly as this was my first time applying wet application based screen protector. Btw, after it have dried for a day. Can I still peel off to realign? Will this cause the adhesive to worn off? I find it super hard to pull off after it had dried.

I did that with the small strips that went on the sides of my Transformer but they never really stuck good again after starting to peel.
I haven't bought one yet. I'd like to know how well the sides stay on. If the skin was not $20 I'd probably have already bought one. I want to make sure it won't start peeling off like the small strips that came with my Transformers skin.

I'm in the same boat as you, hesitant to pay $20 for a few stickers but I just ordered the black carbon fiber wraps from slickwraps. Their customer service seems great and I'm sure they would replace any defective stickers. They have a thread in this section I've been following and people seem to love them.
The side sticks really well. What I mean is the IR Blaster and the charging pot area. The black is one piece though. Stick really well. But the adhesive part of my side were out ask I use pouch.. Probably the fiction cause this.

Hey Guys,
Any recommended clear skin for the rear of the phone?
Thank you
I got one from ebay. Didnt cause much had a few bubbles but push most out
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/301920453235
Fits the curve back nicely.
I didnt use the front since i have a skinomi screen protector.
I was going to get the skinomi rear but had problems putting on on my note 7 and wanted something a bit more stickey. Which is what the post one is
Even though the back is glass and there is protection from external case, anyone installed a protector in the back (film, glass, or anything material)
Any brands or suggestions?
thanks a million.
I use this, but I also have a skin, and a case haha so probably a little overkill but I don't want to damage this thing. If I could wrap a pillow around it I would. https://m.aliexpress.com/s/item/32832315490.html?spm=a2g0n.search-cache.0.0.30c0f4f1MpT7WO#autostay
Yeah, me really thinking about getting one for the back as well, prefer glass type.

For the back, i know that there is lots of film ones. Some sites in other languages sell glass ones but it doesn't look trustworthy and there maybe shipping problems ..
Just trust the robots at dbrand. Best back skins around, look cool also!

Well you asked and that's where I got mine, and had no issues, just like buying from eBay. I also have a skinomi full skin on it.
I installed a full body skinomi, good for protecting back from dust and sand particles that inevitably will get between the case and the back of the phone, these particles trapped this way cause a lot of damage

Agreed. Hated the way my note 3 looked after a case. Resale should be much easier with a near perfect phone.

Did u get a glass protector in front and fits in your case too?
No, because I have bad experiences in the past with cristal protectors that never fit really well with curved screens
2nd for the dbrand dragon skin. Also adds some friction for holding the phone without adding any thickness
I ordered 2 slickwraps Note 8 naked series for the back. One glossy and one Matte. They are regularly 15.95 each but they have a 50% off sale going now with the code Apocalypse so I bought both for 15 bucks to try them out.

Is the Glossy one completely transparent? The pics on website show a black tint which covers mirror shine. What about the sides and top & bottom?
Don't like the skinomi cuz u have to spray & spray.

The glossy is completely transparent. It's a thick plastic, though, and you need a ton of solution to get it on, etc. It only comes with the back pieces, they don't seem to have a kit for the Naked series.

"need solution" means you have to add the glue yourself? does it cover all the way to the edges?
I know Rhinoshield makes one, not glass, and it doesn't go all the way to the edges.

It goes all the way to the edges but it's not glue, its just a soap and water mix they give you in a spray bottle.

Thats the same way you apply the skinomi stuff, but their clear wraps are not transparent. I want the peel & stick type. I'll check in other places to see.
Thanks anyways

I got a wet applied screen protector for the back. I want to maintain the look of the back without covering it with a skin. This is the one I have and works perfectly with my Lumion case. (I imagine it would work with any case) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07516Y9B5/ref=crt_ewc_title_gw_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AZPYIARPTPBOT
For those without back protectors but use a case, the back will still get scratched easily. On my Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, the glass back had tiny scratches even if I kept the phone in a case all the time. Tiny dust particles still managed to get trapped between the glass back and the case. A back protector is a must if you want to maintain the pristine condition of the back glass.
Slickwraps plus spigen
Bought a slikwraps skin and a spigen clear case.
Slickwraps as usual is a pain in the butt to install and they always take 2+ days to ship the item from the moment you buy them but is till prefer their designs.
Spigen iv'e use them since my s6 and i always liked them, past spigen clear cases turn yellow after some time, i'm hoping this ones won't since it says they have improved the yellowish thing happening.
