Aluminum case? - One (M8) Accessories

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxury-Moto...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item25903a95fd
Will this case make my signal weaker and make the battery drain faster?
I really like the look of the case but this is my main concern

Thanks!

It looks like from the photos, that the black plastic on the case is over the plastic strips where the antenna are located on the M8. If true, I would think it would have minimal or no effect on signal.
The brushed metal looks nice, and the colors are cool. But the shape reminds me of the nearly ubiquitous iPhone cases.

Thanks
I'm hesitant to get it because the front isn't protected , but I have a tempered glass protector. I don't know if that's enough protection

No explanation or evidence given. Just an opinion or guess?
Anyway, what is the harm in checking it out? It costs $4 and looks cool.

Any protection on the inside? Metal on metal will produce some serious scratches....

Think he was looking for facts / information. There is / was a guy doing custom aluminum cases on here. He did some testing back on the HTC Evo 4g LTE with his cases. IIRC the signal was -81 db with the case and -84 without, or vice versa. It was quite a minor difference. It had no effect on the amount of bars I had at home.
On HIS cases, there is rubber inserts on the case the cushioned the phone. So there was no movement, no vibration / scratching etc. Idk about this case in question. Mine was customized with Steelers logos on it

I have one of these case and I lost like 1 or 2 bars on my signal.
I don't know where the interference came from.

I would not recommend these, I bought one of these recently for the M8 and while putting it on, had issues with it scratching and gouging the chamfered bezel edge near where the bumper locks together. The inner edges are extremely sharp on this bumper. I had no issues with the one they made for the M7, which used screws to hold them together.

From my experience, aluminum cases have degraded quality I'm signal. However, with the use of plastic, this may work.

Anyone? Aluminum Alloy Blade Metal Frame Bumper Case

Anyone used this bumper?
The back cover is easily replaceable so I don't mind showing off the titanium texture on Note 2. A bumper fits this need. So anyone used this? It shows 20 sold, so hopefully at least someone is browsing xda.
Share your opinions :]
BTW, there's different codes of N7100 and the prices are different, e.g., BK, PK, TP, etc. What does that mean?
EDIT: UH.. nvm, seem to be color codes. BUT, same model, different prices ($20+ vs $10)????
EDIT: UH... nvm again, one is free shipping, one is $10 shipping. :facepalm:
EDIT: AND one is bid while the other is BIN. :double-facepalm:
WARNING: Based on further reading, this design is not acceptable. It scratches screen when installing/uninstalling, and possibly affects reception!!

I've also come across these
You can see that my main idea is to cover the sides, because I believe that it is still chrome like on the Note2 (mine hasn't arrived yet), and shows scratch more easily.
===========================================================================================================================================
Or do you guys think Galaxy Note™ II Protective Cover + from Samsung just looks better?
Only thing I'd be worried about is it interfering with the reception
-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss
Ye, that's also my major concern. So I wanted to see if anyone tried it on xda. It comes from Hong Kong, so I really don't wanna waste time just to find it interferes with the reception :/
From this thread, looks like (hopefully) it won't interfere.
xCeejayy said:
It wouldn't suppress the signal since The Note isn't like the iPhone 4/4S where the antenna is on the sides. Our Antenna is on the bottom portion of our phone so this case does not interfere with signal.

a buddy of mine has one on his s3 and has no problems. I am going to pass this link to him because when he asked if they were available for the note 2 they said no.. but that was a few weeks ago.
Just fyi guys, i updated in my OP that these bumpers will possibly scratch the screen when sliding in/out as well as interfering with signal strengths as i read in the other thread.
Try to avoid it or try to bear the risk.
There are plastic/soft bumper emerging on eBay. Search for them.

I've had a black aluminium bumper on the titanium gray note 2 for a week, it looks badass especially with the notification led in red ahah. But it does add some bulk and removes the softness of the original design when you hold it ot shove it in your pocket, Guess that bugged me just because I used the note protection free for 2 weeks :/
No signal problem whatsoever.
Little video there, mine is the second one to prove another guy the case didn't intefere: http://www.galaxynote.fr/bumper-aluminium-t8200.html#p90815
I've ordered a second one from a different brand (with replacement buttons like in the original poster picture here instead of grip notches on the sides) in titanium gray color too I'll post a full good quality video of the case if I have some time.
Alternative Bumper
I like this one because looks like thinner on front, shows side buttons and it's nice to hold to don't falls.
Where in Chinese sites can I found?

I had the same one as in OP (aluminum frame) from eBay awhile ago, and it didn't fit the phone
Looks like a Triobump Clone.
The aluminum won't scratch the screen.

Looking For A Good Waterproof Case

Okay well I ride a bike a lot so it's expected that I get caught up in a thunderstorm sometimes...
IDC About the screen or buttons being visible when this happens, just so as long as the case snaps tightly shut and prevents any water from seeping through.
Any good suggestions, a best buy repeat suggested an otterbox defender but I don't think that is waterproof is it?

There are a few companies that make small dry bags. Seems a bit extreme to me, but that would definitely keep it dry.
I have a dicapac waterproof case for divers.
They say up to 10 meters, I never had any problems. It's very durable
In your case it will be good enough.

Reviews from amazon.com
Used on a 200 mile kayak trip to keep phone and money safe and dry. Excellent water protection. Difficult to use all phone features through thick plastic case. Much better than a ziplock bag, durable.

Bought this to use our little point-and-shoot while water rafting. It keeps the water out quite well but the pictures are not as clear as they should be. The plastic film leave quite a bit a haze on the pictures. Also wasn't the easiest accessing the controls, including the shutter button. Still, probably better than having to deal with buying a waterproof disposable and having to then go and (ewww!) develop the pictures. Certainly cheaper than buying a waterproof digital camera. All in all, not a totally horrible trade off.

But neither of those can be submerged. I think a lot of people define "waterproof" as in being able to be submerged/dunked/dropped in water. Not just splashed.

Yea right I know what ya mean... But in that case I'd just leave my ziplock baggy I have right now and keep it inside that case, and if it got to be too much of a down pour, I'd double it up in protection. Or one of those other 2 thick plastic cases and use it in that as well as the bike mount case.
But I doubt I'll be getting that submerged in rain water, unless I accidentally rode my bike off into a swimming pool full of water. haha!

I just got mine and it looks great. Be careful trying to figure out how to get your phone in there. The metal frame slides out from the bottom piece. Cheap korean packaging with no instructions or even a picture diagram.
The bumper itself is a good bumper however I notice it degrading my signal for both wifi and cellular... So if you notice your phone dying faster it's probably this bumper killing the signal. Take it off.

That's kind of a deal breaker for me because it's putting my phone into no signal when I'm inside any building and I'm missing calls/texts plus my battery is dying much faster due to it constantly searching for signal.
Wow. Can't believe the used the Sweet Armor name and threw in Korean Design on the packaging. Lol.
The real Sweet Armor cases suffer from no signal loss. I have one for sale if anyone is interested. But it's $50.

Just a heads up guys, I bought a aluminium frame bumper for my edge...it looks great but it totally screws up my gps. The phone really struggles to maintain a gps lock, and drops often. As soon as I take it off, the gps is fine again and it works fine with a plastic case.

be careful with this. put something similar on my iphone5 and it kinda caused rubbed marks on the aluminium on the phone when I removed it. when manufacturers make these kind of bumpers, they need to line the inside with rubber or plastic because it doesnt take a scientist to know metal on metal is not good...
edit: also looked online and apparently you can use metal wool to buff the marks out
Uhh since this post is on top again. I bought this thing and posted pics in the "post your case" thread.
Overall good case with slightly off manufacturer tolerances(based of the one I recieved). Some extra bits of paper here and there, and it fixed the problem for me.
To address the above issue. The back of the case is lined with a cloth material, and the sides are lined with foam. It wouldn't scratch your phone.
How about the GPS issues mentioned earlier?
GPS works fine.
My experience wit metallic bumper can´t be worse. I used it only once, with the HTC M9, and it scratched the corners while decreases the signal quality... A real mess that I would´t advise at all.

try search online and you can buff out the metal on metal scratches/marks
I bought it, pretty much same one. Cost $15 on eBay. Comes in a fancy metal tin, with extra screws and screw driver. The signal loss was barely noticeable if at all. Definitely excellent quality.

bad times…! I think the signal is distorted by the metal. even my DAB radio goes a bit weird when my laptop or S6E is too close to it
Interesting, I wonder why there are so many of these metal bumper threads and why so many people keep saying they're great and don't affect the signal. Separately, I would think that there could be a market for just simple rubber or plastic bumpers.

[REVIEW] Aluminium Bumper (The best Ginmic)

Well i have never been a fan of cases or so, i always normally used my phones naked, because i think im paying the design more than the inner stuff (nobody thinks of it hehehe), but this phone seems to be a bit more delicate than any other so i`ve been searching for cases or bumpers for this beauty and obviously keeping the design and elegance.
i own 3 cases and this, by far, the most that i liked. I´ll give you my opinion and a mini-review, also the link for anyone who is interested on buying it
First, as title says, its an aluminium bumper, but what a quality, its extremely well done and very esthetic.
This is how it comes in, from here you can tell the great quality product

It comes in two parts, and see the cutouts for the speaker grill, usb porting charge, and 3.5mm jack
and now, mounted on the phone, look the details
I picked up this color for a reason, as you can see my phone is the gold one so the bumper red, so i made a waaaaaay cheaper IRON MAN version
PROS:
-well done design made by high quality materials
-inner side has a protective layer to prevent of scratching the phone
-keeps the width phone and the thin edge line
-even i have no tested it yet, i think it will provide a bit of protection to the sides of the phone
CONS:
-to be very aesthetic, does not provide greater protection to the screen or the back, it comes flush
-maybe the headphone jack cut out won't fit all of you, it depends on each one (at least its not a problem to me)
In general, this is and excellent accessory for those how likes to brag the design and at the same time adding a bit of protection, buttons fells very straight, great assembly, nice painting, very sharp lines mimicking design`s phone this "effect" could be achieved even more picking up the same color as your phone, but the red one makes mine the Iron man hehe, but this is not for those how wants to extremely protect your phone
here the link, the price is nice, 10 bucks, free shipping and arrived in about 3 weeks

Is the phone comfortable to hold for long periods of time? Looks quite nice, my favourite colour is red

It is for me, although the sides seems sharp, they are not so, grip is a bit better due to a wider sides, maybe if you hold the phone by placing your pinky finger at the bottom you could feel discomfort only if it's on the headphone jack cutout

Thanks for that, id have to get a protector for the back, obviously for protection and also to make the back a bit less slippy. Thanks.
I can confirm its a great case !

very nice bumper, but all of these aluminum bumpers seem to degrade signal. Wish they made one in ABS plastic.
Here is mine.

ive had this case but immediately threw it out because i had to bend the left side to get it in and when its all put together its all warped because you have to bend it. and it scratched my phone as well. do not recommend this case at all.
What a pity. Someone recommended this case to me. When I applied this case on my phone. I followed the installation steps listed on their website.So I do not meet your issue.

I had similar experience. Even worse than the scratches, GPS signal is degraded, still functional...but takes longer to get a lock.
