FOUND! Thin Case with CAMERA PROTECTION - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories

Was using the Samsung OEM silicone case but wanted something that was just as slim but also covered the camera glass because it's so big and pops out. Found this $9 case on Amazon. It has front raised lips for drop protection (minimal) and is actually even slimmer than the Samsung case so it feels like it's barely there. Unblock glossy TPU, it is matte black which I also prefer. I have a video of it here next to the official Samsung one: https://youtu.be/fMflVeSzkwU

I just ordered one...I'll let you know how I like it on Wednesday

Looks good. Wish it came with more color options though..

Good luck with the 3rd mic working properly in that case, though.

But most if not all the cases cover the microphone making it useless?

Not all. I have the ESR Tough Alliance, the Ringke X Fusion and Ringke Air-S. The Ringke cases have some 2mm of space between the camera bump. These cases do not cover the mic. The ESR cases are particularly better for its slanted sides on the camera mic side. It captures audio from the slanted side more effectively.

The Moment thin case is very nice and I think it is what you are looking for. I have it along with several Spigen cases.

You can download the user guide. It's there on page 12.

I went with a case with a sliding cover. By my standards I find the case pretty thin, but I typically go with really rugged cases, so my case thickness standards may differ from yours.

Hey thanks a lot for posting info on this case. Got mine today. Now you can hold device without the worry of fingerprints on camera..thanks again.

3rd mike useless outside of "scumbag" mode!
BUT! The camera glass shouldn't be covered like that.
Just as you should never put a runner over carpet!
Over time when you think you are protecting what's underneath you will find you're doing far more damage.
Why? Dirt gets underneath and will abrade the hell out of the glass.
I'll take my chances, sorry.
Ditto for screen. Can't stand having protectors over screens, ESPECIALLY curved screens. And too, they literally wreck the FP reader action.
JMHO, of course.

I ordered the version of this case with the built in ring stand on the back. Not only are you totally right about the danger of the camera glass getting scratched, but the entire case had no interior protection material to keep grit or dust from scuffing up the phone itself over time. It also didn't fit snug enough to make this issue moot. Immediately returned....

I ordered the LATERCASE its thin but still covers the camera Bump, has been shipped and my note 20 ultra won`t be delivered until the 19th so we`ll see how it goes.

Question
I am interested in buying this case but I don't like cases that stick to my pocket while pulling them out. Does this matte case have any problems?
I notice that there is a line/indentation around the back of the case - does this trap dirt/lint? I am wondering why they placed it there in the first place.
Thanks.

It goes in and out of my jeans pockets with no issues. If you wear skinny jeans, then I can't help you. It is remarkable to me how little dirt/lint stick to this thing. It is made of hard but flexible rubber, I haven't found anything sticking to it. Keep in mind, its a barely bigger than the phone and it does push up my screen protector in the lower left hand corner. My Spigen case didn't do that, but it made the phone feel huge to me.
Thanks!
Thanks for the info. What kind of screen protector do you have? I have purchased Invisible Defender (screen protector) and diztronic case. Hopefully they wont cause huge problems.

It's just a cheap clear one from Amazon. This case really hugs the screen, it adds almost no width at all. Its not really noticeable unless I look for it, I wouldn't think you'll have huge problems.

Spigen cases always seem to add unnecessary bulk, especially width to phones with their cases. And their colored plastic backs scratch and swirl like crazy.
They are extremely overrated and overpriced imo.

Can someone test something out on this case for me?
Are you able to stick 1 Credit Card and 1 photo ID on the inside of the back of the case? Will the case stay on and clip to the phone?
I am doing just that on my current phones case and would like to know what cases I can replicate this on.
Thanks in advance!

I'm using the black one for at&t and it has the correct mic hole openings and all. The op's pics didn't show the at&t version. Just an fyi.
Amazon just emailed me, my Verizon Diztronic Matte TPU case just shipped. Should be here by this Saturday or next Monday.
That lip on the back seems like a weird design choice... i have loved diztronic cases in the past, so I'm sure i'll order this.

Got one for my and the wifes phone....she prefers my Ballistic case (go figure) but the Diztronic is excellent and not bulky.
I might try the Incipio DualPro to see how it compares to the Ballistic.

For everyone wanting to get a screen protector that fits with this case, the Supershieldz screen protector from Amazon doesn't get in the way of the case if installed well (AT&T version).

Great to see it in action. Now it's just the phone that's missing. But I think the back cover goes on the back or the phone and not on the case itself. Since plastic on glass will create those smudge effect that doesn't look too good tbh.
Got my cases shipped 18th of March but guess it takes abit longer to ship to Sweden than the US. Got the Crystal Clear and Smoke Crystal.

Yes Poetique is right. Ultra Hybrid has hard plastic back and a tpu frame. The Liquid Crystal has a similar look but is all TPU if you want something similar but more flexible.

thanks for the pics
i just ordered 3 of them from ebay
50usd for 3 of them includes the shippment
I actually had no idea these things came with clear protectors for the back. Only complaint I have is that they don't fit around the camera and flash/health sensor very well, and will be distracting if the phone's out of the case at any point. And if you want to temporarily switch cases, the poor cutout will be distracting. Almost perfect, but just barely disappointing :T
At the same time, though, I'm not sure if other companies offer that back adhesive.

You guys should seriously consider the Spigen NeoHybrid. Back of case is ruberized. Sides of case, meaning total peripheral is metal. Actually feels superb to hold and you still have that sense of a metal body the naked GalaxyS6 Edge comes with. Nice larger cutouts for headphone plug as well as USB for those with larger connectors. Absolutely no regrets. I did NOT opt for the optional free front screen protector. I like the look and feel of a phone with the screen as is.

I mentioned this to Spigen, they said it's so that it doesn't catch on the case?? Not sure how that's possible, as I'm fairly sure they could have made it go right to the edge of the glass and not have any issues with the case, but oh well, maybe (I hope) they tried that before making them in this smaller size
Is it mandatory to place the back screen protector when using this case? Will the case actually scratch the back glass? Thanks in advance.
you have to decide if its worth it to you to be protected, or you don't care..frankly, since I will probably jump in 6 months to the next great thing, I don't care if the back of the phone has a few scuffs, since it doesn't affect the ability to jump with T mobile. Plus, who stares at the back of their phone anyways..
I did put it on anyways, since it was there, and I figured might as well.
But if you buy it outright, or plan on keeping the phone for a while, you might feel differently

Just an update on this. I have the same case since day 1 of owning the phone. It's got an ungodly amount of scratches, more than any phone I've seen before. Additionally, it has a green tint around the sides. Very disappointed. I would complain to the makers of it but I'm out of the country currently.

Orzly Fusion Bumper Case for OnePlus 3 Pictures

I received the Fusion Bumper Case today and I gotta say after a days use I am delighted with it, I've got it on with the 2.5D Screen Protector and it works no problem. I actually like this more than the Grip-Pro I got the other day, purely because it allows me to show off my phone whilst keeping it protected! Here are some pictures:

The case looks nice. Is the TPU or silicone around the volume buttons stiff or soft? Stiffer material makes it feel like it is more protective.

Will the thick TPU sides of the fusion bumper turn yellow over time? Because it's already hazy and murky in brand new condition. and you can easily notice the difference in clarity between the TPU sides and Polycarbonate back.

Hi, I have a silicon case and my past experience has been that such cases eventually form a yellow tint.
So will that yellow tint be visible on this case as well?
Or are Orzly cases immune to that? Would be disappointed if after paying a premium amount, I get the same quality.
No Orzly users here? :l
Need to buy a case ASAP, bump.

I have an Orzly flexi case and no, they're not immune to the yellowing effect. In fact, if you turn on the torchlight, the whole case would illuminate in a golden yellow colour.
If you want a transparent case, I'd recommend a hybrid case like the Ringke Fusion. The polycarbonate back would be immune to yellowing and you can choose tinted TPU on the sides, since clear TPU yellows gradually.

Ah, thank you. I'll find a Ringke through aliexpress, since they officially aren't available in India, yet.
Moreover had a Ringke fusion for my OPO long back, still transparent as the first day, no yellow tint there indeed. :good:

I would definitely get a case for this

Went into a tmobile store to see their demo blue coral and noticed a lot of scuff marks on the bottom rear of the phone. I can only assume they've only had this for a a week and it's already this bad. SMH. They are definitely scratches. I tried rubbing it off and ran my nails through it. Rough AF.

Anyone that doesn't immediately get a case for a glass phone, gets what they deserve.
Maybe that's how they made gorilla glass 5 more durable to drops by making it softer. But now more susceptible to scratches.

Speaking of cases, what is everyone planning on getting? I got a cheap Supcase Bettle unicorn, frosted case to begin with. I'll probably get a Spigen Neo hybrid later on.
I'm not going with a case... Toast said they'll have wooden skins ready by the end of the month, so that's what I'm going for.
Maybe leather if they make one. But not metal or plastic.

Ok, looking at that...you convinced me not to use a typical case. What devices have you used this for? How does it protect against drops? I am not one of those who will beat down on their devices but sometimes I do forget it is on my lap while at movie theaters and it will drop....or stepping down from cars. Does it cover all the edges? Looking at the pictures on their websites I can't tell....give me the skinny!

The very edges are slightly visible, but the corners are covered. The sides of the phone are also covered, and they include wooden button caps and camera lens covers. The front isn't covered unless you spend the $10 for a front cover, but if you do then of course the capacitive buttons and fingerprint scanner are left uncovered. The wood isn't thick enough to interfere with usage, thankfully, but it is the thickest and highest quality wood cover I've seen.
I don't have any phones that they make skins for, but I've visited their "factory" in Portland and handled several iPhones and Android phones with their skins attached. They're really nice and high quality, better than similar skins I own for other products.
Take a look at this video for a typical phone installation:
As you can see, nice and easy - just be careful about it, and go slow. It will re-adhere if you mess it up, but the first application is always the strongest by far, and you don't want those edges coming up.
E: I should clarify that you can re-apply in the first 5-10 minutes, but after that the adhesive is 'set' and will not be reusable. It's really strong adhesive, so it isn't going anywhere, but it also does have an oxygen-activated cure.
Skins are a thick sticker and protect as such. They are no replacement for a good case.

Agreed. A skin, even a wooden one, is not a case. They don't offer shatter protection - merely scratch protection. In this case they also make the phone look nicer in my opinion :good:
I would like to mention a small local company. They haven't put out a note 7 case yet. They offer several cases made out of exotic wood, and they look fan-****ing-tastic.
The company is called carved sorry I can't post a link yet

The more requests they get, the more likely they are to make them.
Spigen all the way.

Maybe that's how they made gorilla glass 5 more durable to drops by making it softer. But now more susceptible to scratches.
That why i scoff at people that say you dont need a case because either its going to be easier to scratch or easier to shatter.

This exactly. There is a trade off of hardness to toughness. Hardness is what prevents scratching but the harder you make it, the more shatter prone so in essence you lower the toughness

I bought a clear case and it's sitting in a drawer waiting for my unit to arive.

ask them where the scratches are from, it could've been dropped on the floor
are most of the scratches at the bottom? that's not where fingers typically rest

Thor Case will make OnePlus 3 a Beast from the outside

Has anyone tried ordering one of these from Aliexpress? I ordered one already and totally excited about it.
Some youtube videos of the case for other phones are already there. I am sure this sleek Beast and the Metal Thor cover would make a Machine in hand.
I ordered the Black one.
All I can say is These got looks and also can surely protect the phone with such bulk build.
PS: Sorry i cant attach pics here. I am new member in the forum and XDA will allow me to post pics after 10 posts. You can always google the case and tell me what you feel about it.
You mean this case?
I don't mean to be rude, but that's quite a case that could cause the Sixth Mass Extinction on Earth.
EDIT:
I mean, its so ugly - living beings might die just by looking at it.

I have it. It's cool as hell but extremely inconvenient. It doesn't exactly fit well, slides with excess space and it likes to pull your screen protector up by the way it holds in place. It's cool as Hell though, forgot where I put it though.

OnePlus 3 Case - TUDIA Ultra Tough OMNIX [Heavy Duty] Hybrid [Full-body] Protective Case, best case imo
https://www.amazon.com/OnePlus-Case...=1-1-spons&keywords=tudia+case+oneplus+3&th=1
Here are some screens from Thor, but i am not using it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=67887857
About that Tudia, have it as well, but i am not satisfied with that so much... It's because through the hole for fingerprint sensor many times went through the humidity between front plastic cover and the glass of the phone, when i wear phone in my pocket in work, turned by side to my leg. As well front plastic cover after some time started cowering itself so when u touch on display through this u can feel it it doesn't fit.
But desing looking very nice, that tank cover has really nice desing

Yeah, wasn't to happy with the hole for FP scanner. I don't use the scanner and have it disabled, so I went down and bought a package of plastic laminating sheets and cut two oval pieces just bigger than the hole. Put one on front and one on back to cover hole. I work in a cabinet shop and sawdust was constantly getting in, so this solved my issue. I'm not sure, but the FP scanner might still work with it covered like that, not tried it yet to see. Other than that, that Tudia case is great, looks good and offers excellent drop protection. I know first hand, dropped phone from 3 foot up on concrete floor.

Nah, I found it today. I might put it back on.
I just have a standard silicone case right now. The Thor case isn't practical. It's really just for show.
Some pics I took. I it messes with your reception though lmao.
