I just got the case, love it !!! quality is just as expected from kevlar cases. The camera is flushed with the case (i feel that it is slightly, just slightly raised to protect the camera which is a plus).
The lips of the case is not raise up to protect the screen though, but the edge is perfectly cut to the metal sides which makes it feels really natural to hold. If it is raised further, i think dust can be easily trap in side like the original google case so i think its fine for me, personally.
NOTE: this is not a carbon fibre case, its made of 100% kevlar/aramid. Carbon fibre as a case would have interference with signals.
PROTIP: when trying to remove the case, work from the buttom edge and slowly upwards along the power/volume side (i find it slightly easier on this side).

you are welcome i will do a brief review when i get the case, i have high hopes of it in terms of slimness, weight and texture.
Also ordered one, thanks for posting!
no problem man, hopefully, it comes with a tempered glass protector.
because i have seen some reviews/unboxing on magcase for iphone 7, they did come with it.
fingers crossed!
update: no tempered glass included in package.. dang oh well
Wow. Really promising. **** it. Ordered.

Ordered it since 10 days. But its not released yet or shipped.. I remember the 13th of this month was mentioned as a release day.. I tried it before with another device, very very slim but high quality.. Real carbon fiber.. Very minimal.. But very tough.. And it has the coils impeded for the magnet car holder..
Found the case yesterday on the web by coincidence...as they offer free shipping also to Eureop, I've ordered one, as I am looking for a thin case. Also have a Spigen Thin Fit but the Spigen is probably not as durable as the Pitaka.
Now I only need a decent tempered glass for the Pixel 2XL and then I am ready to receive it next week.
I wonder if this case will work with a dbrand skin on?

I assume it would because dbrand skin is literally a really thin piece of sticker but if u want to remove the case, u gotta remove it carefully as edges of the sticker is still protruding a just little.. well that's my guess
is the case thick enough to protect the camera lens?

Interesting, so this thin case has metal plates in it? I would not be using it in my car.
Will it interfere with NFC though.

It's there to make it compatible with their car mount but doesn't affect the thickness, flushed within the case

Just asked them if it sits flush with camera lense and they said yes :/
I'll wait for the review but I think MNML nailed it by raising the fingerprint sensor, effectively protecting the lens because of the angle it creates with the edge. Even though the case itself sits flush with the lens.
And it's really less expensive.

Found this on Amazon. Couldn't help but order it. Less than $15 shipped and real wood! Received it today. I'm actually quite impressed with it. Forgot to mention, shipping said 14-31 business days but I received it in one week.
Pros:
-Real Wood
-Looks great
-Great fit
-Low Price
-Crafted well
Cons:
-A bit thick. Makes the phone a little bit big (with an already big phone) in the hand.
-Power port cutout is a little small. One of my old cables wouldn't fit.
-Due to thickness, it can be a little tough to reach the power and volume buttons.
-No 'snap' to hold the case together. It just slides, I don't know if it would wear fast or not. There is, however, a metal plan with nobbies on it that help hold it in place.
As promised, here are pictures. The first 2 are with and without flash to get a good look at the wood tone. I think it looks great.

That isn't where it glues together, that is where you snap the case together. Pictures should be up shortly.
Looks like a nice case although the line is very visible. I guess thats better than having a hard snap on case where u have to force the phone to be removed.

Agreed the line is very visible but you have to keep in mine that this is wood, not plastic. Wood can't be molded like plastic, it's crafted.
I'm very interested, does the cover have lips in case you put your telephone face down on the table?
And if you have a 0.3mm tempered glass screen protector?

Thank you very much; I've ordered mine too.
I prefer it over the 'original' back cover bamboo case because the original one shows a bit of brown plastic and also I think (the original one) is meant to be used without any cover case to show the beautyness of the bamboo cover.
As this is a true COVER, I think it will protect our phones a bit, and as you confirmed it allows the use of a glass screen protector, I think it's perfect.
I'm a bit concerned because of the mechanism to separate the two pieces of the cover, but I think I won't doubt to glue them together if necessary (as the cover is cheap and the battery is not removable...)
Thank you for sharing this piece of natural art...
How does the cover hold in place still a bit confused. Is there A mechanism or requires actual glue?

HI everyone
I just want to share with you some impressions about my "balolo" wood cover, which I received about 5 weeks ago.
When I got my Xperia Z3 Compact last year I instantly bought a case in the first few days. But I must say that I prefer to hold my device "naked" in my hands without any disturbing material around the edges. A friend of mine told me to have a look on the products of "balolo".
I ordered a genuine wood cover and engraved it with a picture of me and my girlfriend. In the first two oder three days the cover was smelling like wood (what should be quite normal for a product made out of genuine wood). The quality of the (walnut) wood is very good and also the engraving looks perfect.
But the best thing about it was the price: 29€ for something I expected to cost a least twice of it! After 5 weeks of using it I can´t say anything negative about it (except you don´t like the wood smell in the first days), so from my point of view a clearly recommendation!!

It sticks onto the back of the phone with a 3M peel-off sticky backing. It's not really a case, more a textured back covering the glass. It won't provide any protection to the sides or front (although I believe you can get a front glass protector with it too - but I suspect that is much like any other stick on screen protector).
I was a little disappointed with this when it arrived, but actually found it looked good, and I could still used the Ringke Fusion case on top to provide some more substantial protection to the phone itself. Actually, the Fusion case fits even better with the relatively thin wooden backing on the phone.
Here's mine. I didn't realize it was just a sticker for the back either, but it looks great without adding thickness to the sides of the phone. I think I'll keep it on.
The only drawback is how it adds an edge around the back. Its not a sharp edge, but you can definitely feel it while holding the phone.

I felt the same way, but I also have this case for my 5x and it sits perfectly flush
Mine should be here shortly too, ordered this one and the Imak clear.
The Imak fits nicely and looks good, just a bit of a sharp edges but nothing compared to the Spigen clear case.
I'll post some pictures here later
Iv been using it for a few weeks. it is very good, better than other tpu cases. very thin, perhaps too think for my liking. And it attracts fingerprints. Personally i would go for a Spigen Hybrid, however for the price its very good.

I have found some interesting TPU covers for the 10 on aliexpress, called ''frosted'' which should fix the fingerprint magnet problem, I am thinking of ordering one to try, and get a Nillking Nature now while waiting for it (it can take up to 6 weeks), though I dunno if it's better to take the white or brown frost color for the grey 10...

Bought a Nillkin Nature transparent for my 10, it's really good, it's a high quality TPU not the cheap oily one, everything is protected : buttons,corners,sides,camera... I also like the fact that it's 1mm elevated above the screen so you can put it face down on flat surfaces and Cardboard VR
The whole case is very thin and very transparent showing the beauty of the 10, holds well in the hand with anti-slip texture on the sides.
What I didn't like though is the USB protection and anti-slip textures that can feel a bit harsh.
I hope it won't get ugly after a while like many other TPU covers (scratches)
Got the case a few days ago, fits nicely, is flexible and covers a bit better than the Imak clear case.
Also is the thinnest I've found so far. The cutouts are properly aligned and there's no sharp edges like on the Spigen or Imak.
Not so fond of the branding on the back but it is pretty subtle.
Fits nicely, covers the USB-C port, you can like it or not, so far I'm not unhappy with it and it protects from dust and debris getting in there.

These cases are pretty popular. Phones are too big as it is. A lot of people aren't looking for big cases to protect against huge damage. 1) I'm very careful 2) my credit card company provides free insurance with a $25 deductible so long as the monthly plan is paid on that card. 3) on T-Mobile jump on demand, when you turn the phone in, it doesn't have to be in mint condition 4) the G6 in particular is very durable, having passed some military testing and a recent video showed it going through a washing machine undamaged
All that being said, I'm just interested in giving it some extra grip and protection against minor scratches and bumps/dings. I'll also use a clear skin but those tend to peel off over time

Lol yeah. It's not 100% perfect. All of my tpu cases are like that though. Sucks. My pixel 2 XL isn't like that though.

i just checked mine, you're right!
my china made tpu case got the exact same offset for the hole of the fingerprint sensor.
I just received the X-Level Vintage last week and the only noticeable flaw is the uneven fingerprint cutout. Besides that, the case, fits perfectly. The case is thin and has excellent grip! I know that it's not real leather but, it really feels like a quality suede. I'm super impressed with this case. Just enough lip to keep the screen from touching but, just barely.

same here!
my x-level guardian isn't "perfect" after looking at the fingerprint cutout, but it's nearly perfect.. good enough that i didn't even think twice about it until i saw this thread.. and so far, this case is IMHO, the only way to go with a curved tempered glass screen protector. Super slim, doesn't impact the screen protector, and the millimeter (or less) that the fingerprint sensor cutout is off center, is a small price to pay..

How are the buttons? I saw a review on youtube and they have mentioned that you cant really feel the position of the buttons.

That is the biggest flaw with this case, the buttons aren't good. They aren't really buttons at all. they are just cut outs that allow the fabric to move. It is difficult to find and operate the buttons. Would have been better to just expose the device buttons than what they did.
Agree, if the buttons were better this would be a great case however the way they are makes it difficult at times to find the button you want, let alone use it.

I have this for the pixel 2. The fingerprint cut out isn't that off and it's really thin. My biggest problem with most TPU cases are they have a smooth exterior which eventually just leads to a perpetual oily film that constantly is present. It's always been the issue for TPU fingerprints and oily. Also they are generally more bulky.
Ringke fusion is the other I have used besides this but the cases is a good one compared to many I've used in the past
I got this one on eBay. If you want minimal, it's great. Good grip and adds nearly 0 bulk to the device. Been my daily driver for a while now. I also have Ringer Fusion and Spigen rugged armour.

some pics of this case
My only reservation with this case is with the sharp edges surrounding the USB-C cutout, as several reviewers had mentioned. What are your thoughts on this? I tend to rest the phone on my pinky to use as a sort of shelf, and this edge might be irritating. I'm wondering if the edges could be filed down with a fingernail file or some such tool.

I rest on pinky as well and am doing so right now. Send fine to me. I'd recommend buying multiples. It yellows fast
