In a long line of clones lol. The 7 was just a regurgitated i6, which ripped off basically all of the HTC One M series and Xiaomi. Sure would be nice to see companies do something original again.

Where are you located? There's no mention of a case being included in the U.S. "what's included" description. I personally like to just stick a skin on the back followed by a ultra thin clear TPU case, so if one's included, I wouldn't need to bother buying another case.

[Official] Nexus 10 cover from Google

Hopefully this is a sign of more official accessories to come.

If another thread with this info has already been posted (I didn't see one), my apologies. Feel free to merge or delete this if it's the case.
I wonder if its as bad as the nexus 7 one
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
I like it.. But i tend to put my tablet down on random surfaces so i need a back cover as well
Most of the other cases are better thats just covers the screen and is more expensive but it would be nice if google could release a good hard case
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
About Damn time lol
They shipped these covers to some of the reviewers and they seem pretty nice!
If I remember right, they don't work very well as a stand
I ordered one. My current case is a little worn anyway, so I could use new one. I'll post my thoughts on it when it arrives.

I always buy the cheap crap and really want a official case, loved it in The Verge review and have waited for the Scarlet one since I saw it... I also hate my Moko Ultra slim because of the back cover, I want a minimal case

It says scarlet... Is it my screen or does it look more bright orange?
I'll order one tomorrow. Really glad they finally are offering it.

Its unreal how long it took for this to come out. What excuse can there possibly be for a 6 month delay on the first official accessory? So strange to me. Looks decent though.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda premium
Ordered the scarlet one too. I'll post some pictures when it arrives. Including shipping to Germany it came 35,98 €. Compared to eg official Samsung covers it really isn't that expensive. The thing i wonder is, if we may see some more accesoires in the near future (dock perhaps)? Hopefully Google has something more to come...
It came to just over £30 in the UK. 3 - 5 Shipping days. Can't wait!
Guys any video for this official case?
Wat you guys recomment, should I order this or get the poetic slimline???
Price difference of 20 dollars !!
sent from seXperia Z - Black
It doesn't cover the back of the device, or the corners. Much better 3rd party cases already available.
I can't believe I waited all this time for what is effectively a flap. It doesn't even fold into a stand!

I like the concept of not covering the back, but I agree it should fold. It´s seems prety rigid, making it even somewhat uncorfortable to hold the tablet. I will wait for some reviews and photos around here.

Same here, its a crap design for $30. I'm going to stick with the poetic case. Id prefer something that just covered the front (im not clumsy) because the tablet is so thin and light and then folds into a stand but this isnt it.

Mine just came in too - 2 weeks earlier than the shipping statement said. Seems to be great build quality. Now just need a phone!
Nice that I can get an idea of the phone dimensions tho. Size is just small enough for me = very happy.

I'm coming from a G3 with an Incipio case on it and side by side the overall size is almost identical so getting used to the size won't be a problem. The 6p and the Moto X Pure while nice are just too big for the way I use my device.
Now I just need a phone, F5 F5 F5 F5...........
Anybody ordered this case for 6P but bought 5X? I had ordered and already received 5X case in Electric Blue but decided to buy 6P instead. We can exchange the case if interested. PM me please.

I sent you a PM yesterday, did you read it?
Phone came today along with this case. FYI for anyone thinking of purchasing this case..... Don't. The outer bezel of the case is loose and makes it unusable. Thought maybe I just got a bad one, but look at the reviews on amazon, all having the same issue. It's a shame because this is a really nice looking case. Glad I only paid $2 for this.

Where to buy Official Nexus 5X Case? (Google/Adopted)

Anyone know where to find the original Nexus 5X case in the US? I'm referring to the one made by Adopted that is rubber with the microfiber back. I see several listings on eBay but I have doubts that they are truly genuine. I'm looking for a black one without the flip cover. (Non-Folio)
I'm hoping someone who purchased one from one of the eBay listings can chime in.

I bought 2: 1 black and 1 white. They fit and feel great. On further review I can't tell if this is from Adopted or not, I'm guessing no. But I've been using this for about 5 months with no problems.

It's a great case, seems like it'll provide solid protection. My only complaint is that the lip is not raised much above the screen. So if the phone falls screen-first, it will shatter for sure

Hey, I have the same case for poco and redmi note 5 pro, noticed that the case on note 5 pro is smooth on the sides whereas the poco case has a bit of raised edge on all sides, where back n front come together.
Could you please confirm if your case has the same design style/issue?
The case is actually amazing. Been using it for a few days. I'm disappointed with the small bump to protect the front. One thing I absolutely love about the case is that the phone feels more comfortable in hands. People have complained that it feels more bulky (that's how it should be), but for me the handling seems better this way and yes, I do use my phone with one hand for most of the time.

Hey, similar opinions about the case, no issues with one handed operation too, except thr different styles of construction that I observed between this and other Kapaver case for note 5 pro.
Could you please share some pictures of the case's sides?

screen protector thread starter.....

I purchased this protector for less than $8 on amazon and it will arrive tomorrow, will update on how well it works
[3-Pack] PULEN for OnePlus 8T/OnePlus 8T 5G Screen Protector, HD Clear Scratch Resistant Bubble Free Anti-Fingerprints 9H Hardness Tempered Glass https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CXRYHZP/ref=cm_sw_r_u_apa_i_S0SJFbD8WDAFX
Pulen is usually garbage, but it's a flat screen so maybe it'll work.
They are known for awful touch response and next to zero adhesive.
Ordered this one and came this morning:

Got the UniqueMe one as well. It got here before the phone did and it went on perfect. Time will tell if its any good. I really think most glass screen protectors should be good on this phone considering it is so flat compared to most modern phones. Don't have a case on yet though. I've had cases mess with the tempered glass before.

It is definitely 100% on there, I also had an OEM case in the box, maybe that could be something? I heard that some versions of the phones didn't have the case in the box, so maybe that's why. KB2003 (EU) btw. Bought right from the OnePlus Website. I actually bought 2, checking both of them they both had the screen protector installed so it's not a one off thing. What region / version of the phone do you have?
