Has anyone tried these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Metal-Alumi...469?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item23236c2d8d
They are available in various colours on eBay. All about US$35.
A bit expensive but if they fit well they would be ideal for me. The device is big enough that I am looking for something that provides protection without adding much bulk. This seems to fit the bill.
Tried something similar today; however I couldn't plug my headphones in afterwards so I didn't get it.

I like the way it looks, but how well does it protect the back of the device?
Looks very nice, but I need a picture of it on the device.

I am looking for a bumper case myself for the GNII that i'm gonna get in a few weeks, but i'd rather have a rubberized one than a metal one. I wouldn't want it to scratch the phone, and I think a rubber one would protect the phone better if it were to drop.

This is great metal case.
I had something similar for the N7000. made the phone seem way too bulky and somewhat ugly. wasn't my taste
Hey guys! Made a quick video review of a new case I just got in today. It's like Samsung's Flip Case, but with some added protection and a magnet that keeps it from moving and opening up when you don't want it to. Definitely recommend it!
Sorry for the random black spots during transitions, still new to this! I also need a DSLR camera and better tripod, haha.

Yes, was thinking about this. Love my current Samsung Flip case but the lack of corner drop protection does make me a bit paranoid. I really wish someone made a case like this with a kickstand.

Exactly why I got this! And it'd be nice if it had like, grooves/pivots in the the case too to prop it up like Smart covers and my Nexus 7 cover.

Does the back feel cheap at all? I'm kind of a branding snob. Does the generic look take away from the quality? How does the hinge hold up when you fold the top back? Does it fold back completely and easily?
Does the magnet cause s pen issues?

Thanks for posting... did you buy this off amazon? Ebay? Links? Also, (as post above) does the magnet (center right location) interfere with spen writing in that area of the screen? Thx

Doesn't feel cheap at at all, the phone looks even better in my personal opinion when it's closed, holds up well and doesn't bother me at all either while typing.

Nope, the magnet is to the side of the screen, so no interference at all. And the link to do the case is in the info on youtube. Just click to expand. I'll post it on here soon, too.
One issue, though, is it can be a bit difficult to grab the Spen, so if you use it often, that could be an annoyance.

I have exactly the same case, but I would not call it luxury, either from the price (I paid $7 on ebay) or the quality.
OP's case does looks nicer and more premium than my similar case, mine even has Samsung on the metal magnet clip on the cover, but looks and feels like total crap, tossed it to the trash can as soon as I got it.
I'm currently waiting for Amigo flip case, looks super nice from the pic, no magnet though.

There's a few other listings of "luxury" cases
that look similar but aren't the same. If it I'd the same though, I guess it could be a matter of personal preference? I personally love the soft, textured feel of the case. Feels quite nice to hold.

The only complaint with the magnet I have is that it's blue, lol. Figured it'd match the rest. Luckily it's my favorite color.
Let me know how that case goes! I'm purchasing a couple more myself(different cases).

I have the same case as the OP and didn't notice until watching his video that the blue on the latch is only protective tape. I peeled it off and now it's a nice stainless/chrome look.
I can only grab the S-Pen with my little fingernail, but it should be easy enough to cut/file/Dremel the slot a little bigger if it's enough of a problem.

Useful review. Case looks nice, but sadly, once again they forgot to have a cutout for the notification LED. I'd also prefer cutouts for better access to the volume buttons, as I use those a lot as shortcuts and when playing audio (with cases closed).
Most (or all cases ignore this however, especially the LED hole). And it should have a larger SPen cutout like this one. But looks ok for the price.

I agree, having that would be very nice. I may have my dad just got one out himself, actually. I mean sometimes its nice cause I don't always like to see if I have a notification, but for that I could just turn the case over. And with the cover I wouldn't have to worry about getting any scratches.

Quick question to the OP and the other person who owns this case. What type of corner protection does this offer? What material is used for the part that holds onto the phone? Is it a hard plastic like PC or is it a softer Silicone/TPU type material?

Mine is plain hard plastic. Part of one corner is gone due to a drop from less than two feet.
Owned this for 2 weeks until it started affecting the spen area around the magnet. no biggie if you dont use the spen just something to consider.
Any word on a Borderline case for the M8, or any other minimal Bumpers?
im interested in this as well.
Is the main difference between Borderline and their Atmosphere case added protection? I was planning to just get an Atmosphere case from them =\

Yes, Borderline series has a clear plastic back. I really just want a band that goes around the sides
I emailed them and they are not making a borderline case for the HTC One m8 at this time nor have any plans to make one.
Anyone found something similar to the Borderline? Tpu bumper, but just frame, not with plastic back?
i am looking for one as well. i like the beautiful backing and feel of my phone, but just want something that will rest on the surface i put it on so that the phone itself doesnt get scratched

This is what I have. It is a bumper case. You get to see the metal back, while it's being protected. Good enough.

So you think there's a crystal clear (made of transparent plastic or something) bumper only out there? The ones I saw are made of metal and are not transparent, of course...

I don't remember what material the bumper was made from. I've only seen it once. It could have been metal for all I know.

That's also a nice one. Thank you for sharing. I'm always on the market for new cases, and I don't have a bumper case that I'm particularly fond of. This will be a nice addition to my collection. If you come across a case that is of comparable quality to Otterbox, that would be ideal. I don't have a case that I trust with my heart and soul quite yet

Thanks a lot for the tip. Did you bought it? Does it really improve the grip and works well with a glass screen protector?

I am currently using the orzly FlexiCase, but I am looking for something even thinner, and especially with a lower profile on the front bezel that protects the screen.
Think Spigen’s AirSkin for the iPhone. Does anyone know of such a case for the OnePlus 3?
I guess my ideal case would be thick enough on the back to perhaps cover the camera bump, but really thin on the sides and front.
I would be interested in the same thing.
I have bought some no-name cheap case with those attributes, but I'm willing to invest in a more expensive one as long as it is tiny.

Pleson clear case is the thinnest I've tried, from amazon
do the buttons have 'cut outs' or are they covered with plastic?
pleson clear slim case has button covers, which are also very slim and pretty effective

No, It keeps below of the screen, It fails to protect if the phone rests on the side screen. You can see what I mean in the pic.

From what I am seeing up till now, I think the nillkin might be exactly what I am looking for. Can I ask where did you order it from?
Another question I have is for that "watermark" on the back. Is that a print or is it carved/embossed?
I really would have prefered no logos at all as I find they ruin the looks of the phone.

Ah that's great!
i got the spigen one for approx $13 in India.
It might not be the thinnest but it unique. This is why:
It has hard plastic on the back with softer TPU on the sides and is completely transparent. It also air cushions in the corners for bump protection.
The lips on the front are adequate for the screen and on the back are enough to protect the camera bump.
I was using an Orzly FlexiCase.
I have just received another transparent flexi case bought on ebay and it is great!!
Slimmer than Orzly, it protects both camera and screen.
This is the link:

Dbrand said something along the way that they are first focusing on the ones they have initially proposed to produce/release, but they will add to further phones along the way. Once that comes out, I'll get it with the dragon skin.

In addition to the TPU case that comes with the phone (which I didn't know about, either), I got the Sandstone case from the official store.
It is awesome! Totally great feel to the Sandstone texture, grippy, solidly fits the phone, and all the buttons are EXPOSED (which I find to be ideal) as well as the top and bottom of the phone. It has a lip so the screen doesn't touch when face-down, but it's very minimal. I really love the feel of the phone in this case.

Yeah, I never buy cases for protection beyond scratches. It just makes the phone too bulky and ruins the experience for me.
I spent over 600 dollars on this phone and there's no insurance... Protection is a must

It does provide really good grip which helps you to avoid dropping the slippery phone.
