Could this case harm my phone? - Nexus 5 Accessories

I just ordered this case a few minutes ago
http://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B00G1G...qid=1392286988&sr=8-18&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
and now I saw that it uses a magnet to turn on/off the screen. I remember reading about magnets harming phones (compass, screen, etc.), so I wonder if I should cancel my order or if this case will be safe to use?

Don't panic. Magnets used in those kind of cases are safe for your phone.

Yeah you shouldn't worry. Even one of the official cases from Google/LG has the same feature.

I want something like that .-. Is there more cases like that?

Thx everybody! Happily awaiting the arrival of my case (and my screen protectors) then. The on/off feature may even be a really nice thing, saves the power button some work.
@Galaxysm: No idea, but amazon.de ships almost everywhere and the price is really good atm. It fluctuates a lot on this case, I saw it for 16.99 two weeks ago, then 20.99 last week and today 9.99,

I've got the same case. The material on the inside is the same as the material on the outside (the color accent on the outside). It won't damage the screen at all, but it's not "soft," per se. Just smooth.

Thx. Guess I just have to deceide which color I will get now

lukas_s got it right, I installed a screen protector on my device just because I'm paranoid like that, but it is very smooth, and the cards stay very secure. I'm happy with my purchase, and for under $20 you can't go wrong.

Will do, first person to get it post
I'm using one that's nearly identical --
http://www.amazon.com/Cimo-Hybrid-H...8&qid=1368653617&sr=1-4&keywords=cimo+htc+one
I like it! Simple, doesn't add much bulk. Only issue with it is the volume rocker is covered up by a harder rubber material, so there is no longer any tactile feedback with presses.

Sorry for the delay -- had last minute stuff that took a bit longer than expected.
Power button is completely exposed, so no IR issues.

Does anyone here have a Toastmade skin?

I'm getting a HTC One (Silver or Black), and a toastmade wood skin.
Was wondering if anyone here is willing to post a picture of their phone with the skin on it to see what color/wood combination would look the best.
So far I'm feeling black/walnut, silver/bamboo

The pieces adhere directly to the phone with a 3M film. I only applied the back piece and not the sides, etc. Really doesn't provide much protection, I simply liked using wood and the aesthetics.
That looks really good, is it easily removable with no residue?

Sigh.
I got mine today. I slightly misaligned the back plate on mine, and did not even push down on it. I tried to readjust it with no luck. I then heated it up with a blow dryer to fully remove it - I pulled a bit of the corner up and I immediately saw that this was not gonna be possible. There was going to be a TON of residue left on the back of my phone if I tried to fully take it off.
I'm extremely disappointed. Not at the product, but at myself and also how much of a hassle it is to remove it.
-The skin does look great if applied on correctly.
-Not sure if it's worth the $30 or not yet.
-The removal process is much harder than the site/packaging says it is.

I got one. They're OK,but a bit bulky to be honest. Took 2 weeks to get here. In all honesty, you can get a genuine grip shell for under 8 quid, a much better option. I just bought one yesterday, best thing I've ever put on the phone.

I only bought it yesterday so I haven't used it but based on your description i think i will like it since I do like a bit of extra grip, I think the next time i buy a case it would be the Grip shell, but i am going to wait for either the price to drop or for fake chinese ones to be released since i dont feel like paying £10 for a £95 device Thanks a lot for the description though as i couldnt find any online!

I've bought a yellow one. :good:
i dont like it much, it does not provide much protection, it's not gripy. I'm using a fosmon hyposnap at the moment as an alternative.

I think the grip is actually quite fine, the lip that wraps around the device has a nice texture that incresaes grip and also access to the Moto indent allows for the index finger to hold on to the device too and tbh this case is more for looks than protection and it looks great in the colour red! Also, the seperate buttons for the volume rocker makes this case superb! Its only £2 lol

i didn't mean it doesn't worth it for 2$ I'm saying when we can get something for 5 bucks it doesn't win the competition. it's definitely a better choice than having no case at all, but i don't find it protective enough for me. it's only beautiful.

Yep, i agree with you, its beautiful and only a little bit protective but since i am at home usually i dont risk breaking my phone

Anyone know where to get a replacement back cover?

Pretty much what the title says, does anyone know where I can get a replacement back cover for my v20?
Looking too. Haven't found one yet. Don't know if they're available yet. Lg usually releases these type of things pretty late imo..
Im waiting for any after market ones. Preferably with a soft back like the predecessor V10.

Ugggh, Verizon branded...
After the Note Coral Blue, I find I've grown tired of 16 years of an endless array of black, silver, silver and black, silver...... you get the idea. I wanted a pink V20. I'd take any branding.
i've seen them in china, not sure if they are OEM, mine is in perfect condition, so I have no need to look for one. I also have a Pink V20.

Anyone have any luck find a skin?

I love skins they are protective and thin. But I haven't found any for this phone yet. I may have to order vinyl and cut my own
Looking for full body transparent skin, but can't find any. There is a back transparent film from a brand called imak. Ordered it, but will take some time to arrive.

I put in a request with Dbrand a bit ago, but they said they have no plans to support this device unfortunately. Depending on popularity they might change that. Go and request it your self on their contact page, they have a device request form.

I put the same request and got the same response. When we combine that with the fact that this is a Sony phone, the result is no skins from Dbrand, ever.
At least Xtremeskins got us covered??
Yeah I submitted a request a couple weeks ago with the same response. Xtreme skins it is.

And beware of these skins too for this phone. Almost impossible to get smooth edges with these skins. I had to install the skin maybe one mm short on each side and then tried to smooth the middle part. If you just stick the skin on like normally would do, the skin goes beyond the edge of the back and frame and will stay very sharp to the hand. 2 stars.
Also, do not buy the Modern Oak skin if you want the same looking skin that is displayed on the webpage. Very, very different in real life. Went straight to trash.
