Used My GN For The First Time Without The Case...

It's almost perfect. Been inside the TPU since minute one and I cleaned her today. Looking at it and holding the GN caseless was incredible. Slim, thin. Only quibble is that it can be a tad slippery. I'm way to chicken to use it without a case on a regular basis.
Any go GN nude all the time?

I do Why hide such a beauty? The screen is good enough to resist scratches and the back is really good too. After 7 - 8 months if I do notice some wear and tear, I can just order another through eBay for 15 bucks or so..

I got mine yesterday and I don't use a case. I dropped it onto concrete from about 2 feet and it sustained no damage.

Using mine without a case too. I find putting a case on it just ruins the aesthetics and makes the phone thicker.
I get that people use cases for protection, and one thing i can say is that samsung phones are built to be really durable. I dropped my samsung nexus s countless times and it still worked like a champ.
The galaxy nexus feels even more durable so no worries here.

Using mine without a case. I hate cases. Ruin the feel and design of the device. I did order a sleeve (like the one that came with the Nexus One) off ebay. I just need something to protect it while in my pocket. Not worried about drops.

I've never had a case on any of my phones. I'm really careful and I've only dropped a phone once. I think cases make the phone look generic. With that said, being the GN is large and a little slick to handle I decided to get the diztronic case. Plus I wanted to protect my $730 investment.
Its a nice case but it only lasted for about 5 hours before I whipped it off.
Cases just aren't for me I guess!

Sorry for going off topic but can you please provide a link to the one you got? I was looking around on eBay / Accessories forum but didn't find anything similar to the one for Nexus One

This is the one I bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAP...2&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:1123#ht_2629wt_1163
But the listing ended. I emailed the seller when the first listing ended and said I wanted to buy one and he gave me that listing. So it's worth a shot if you're interested.

Caseless here. I just have the protection film on the bottom and sides of the back to protect against scratches.

I'm caseless here as well. Most devices feel the best when you use them without cases.
It's like going condomless. You're more prone to bad stuff but you get to feel it best ;p
But make sure you put screen protection film on. My screen scratched quite badly already. It's pretty hard to notice, but make sure you take a good look at your phone screen under bright light perhaps halogen lights and you'll see all those scratches!

i also go caseless- i put a case on when i am at the gym but thats the only time i use one- i have a screen protector but thats it...

Using mine nude since I got the phone 2 weeks ago. Although seriously thinking of putting a screen protector

Using mine stark naked although I am considering a matte screen cover that might help reduce the glare in the office.

Caseless here too. I used to own an iPhone with an Otterbox Defender, and after that, I hated how clunky phones got with cases. These phones are designed to be sleek, and I feel like you take that away when you slap a piece of black TPU or silicone on it.

I'm case-less, except for a screen protector from Zagg. Bought a Diztronic case but it hasn't arrived yet.

Have the Matte one myself. It's a fine TPU product. Caseless though this thing feels like a slab from the future. I wish I wasn't chicken.

I clicked this thread expecting a horror story. "I took the case off, and I dropped it the first day..."
Anyways, if I buy the Galaxy Nexus, I'll probably use it careless. Unlike my stupidly built iPhone, I could actually set the phone down on a table, or drop it, without too much of a problem.

Don't use a case, but I do have it in a pouch. I think its the best of both worlds.. protected from dust and keys and bumps while in my pocket, but looking good when its out and being used!

i dont use a case, i'm currently looking for a pouch so i can sling it in my gym bag though.

My phone is always commando why hide it under a case.

1mm ultra thin case - video

Has anyone bought or tried this case? in looks very interesting as its so thin it may be comparable to buying something like the Bodyguardz skins without the hassle of sticking that stuff on.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1mm-Ultra...sesPouches&hash=item4165054cf6#ht_2462wt_1168
Got a few days ago, pretty good, very very thin but slippery. Did a quick video to show it in action.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG2HBa-62Rc

i've got one. its about 0.5mm thick in some parts, so the only thing its good for is protecting the phone's body from scratches. it offers no drop protection, and no camera protection, and its not grippy either.
i prefer my ringke slim case and my anymode pebble jelly case, theyre grippy and dont add much bulk, and offer decent protection for the corners of the phone (if you drop your phone, its more likely to land on a corner) and it goes slightly over the edges of the screen, so if your phone does land face first, the glass is less likely to touch the ground, making it less likely to shatter.

Thanks Souai, I had the ringke for my galaxy s2 and i found that after a while it started stretching out and not fit the phone properly. The reason why im so keen on these ultra thin ones is more as an alternative is the skin shields. ill check out the pebble case though.

looks similar to the Case Mate Barely There.

$54 seems a a lot for a case, the 1mm is just $4 including delivery.

lol 5000 INR is not 54$ its more than 100$ to my knowledge and also that for a case is too much IMHO...
Anyway I would have bought one if it was sold from Amazon . Looks nice

Yeah, I hate ebay and their bloody fees, Ive ordered one though , it'll take a few weeks for it to arrive, ill report back then.

I ordered some from ebay (the seller sold them in pairs) - one was cracked from the start and unusable, and the other was slightly warped from being stuffed in the padded envelope. I found them to be not very grippy, and the cut-out for the m/usb was quite sharp, and being as I rest the Note on my little finger when I hold it one-handed, painful!
Hope you have better luck than I did - I just use the Note bare-back now!

Every time i buy a new phone get into a mad rush to buy cases for it, i use them for a week or two then ditch them because I prefer to use the phone bare, i'll probably do the same as you Towserspvm2000, but at below 3 quid a pop im not going to be losing out on much if it is crappy.

Just got this case from China. I like it. Simple and almost like it is bare. Only issue is the buttons are a little harder to push. But not a deal breaker. This is my third case. thinnest and the lightest. Not bad for $4US. Just got to make sure I don't drop it. More for scratch protection than anything.

hey guys, got the case and its pretty good but bloody slippery. Put up a youtube video to show it in action.

Awesome, about time.
Thanks for the share.

All in all, it's a great case. Slightly slippery though... great lip on the front, and comes with a screen protector that looks to be a lot better than the one first on the phone. good buy!

Yes, the case is a bit slippery, but it really does look nice on the phone. And I didn't know it came with a screen protector! lol......had to dig the box out of the trash! Thanks!

Get anything but the black and you lose your prime with an expected 3 week delivery time. Figured that out after I got an email stating it had shipped and would be here by June 6th.

Just a FYI, coincidentally I was checking out this seller on amazon today and the shipping times (for this supposedly US seller) was 2-3 weeks. No thanks. Sheesh

yeah with the two week lead time, you can order some off ebay for half the price

I got my one with my phone (Craigslist) and I don't like it, we need more options than this.

I am using an iFace case from Aliexpress. About a week for shipping... I cannot find a good US sold case.

Just Bought This Same Case,And I Love It. Looks Like Yours Is The Same Nillkin Brand As Mines So Definitely A Great Buy In My Eyes.

Are Otterbox style cases becoming a problem on newer phones?

For years Otterbox was the gold standard for phone protection and most phone cases have been based to some degree on the same design --surround the back and sides of the phone with a layer of rubber or TPU or plastic to provide drop protection and cushioning if you are careless with your phone. The basic design idea is pretty much exactly the same as it was since the earliest days of Android phones.
But Android phones have changed drastically. Because of the increased CPU power Android phones are running at higher temperatures every year. Phone makers have gravitated towards aluminum unibody designs for these phones because aluminum is a great material for rapid heat dissipation while plastic traps heat.
But if you use an Otterbox style case on these phones the case traps heat and completely eliminates the intended benefits of the phone's aluminum design.
I know a lot of people claim to have no problems with their Pixels overheating but I'm not one of them. If you contact Pixel support they freely admit that overheating is one of the most common problems users report. One of the first things Pixel Support asked when I reported that my phone was overheating was whether I was using a case. When I said I was support immediately suggested that I remove the case and see if the phone still overheated. So far it hasn't.
So my question is do people think an Otterbox style case is still a good idea on an aluminum unibody phone even though it directly interferes with how the phone was engineered or is that style of case becoming too out of date to use on the latest Android flagship phones?

I don't know about the Gold Standard part but they were extremely popular and I guess in a lot of ways, still are?
As far as them trapping heat in the case, they have always done that, but phones did run that hot, or we just didn't really care and phones are running a lot cooler now? I don't know. I don't ever remember taking off an otterbox case in the past and worrying about the heat. I don't even remember the last time I saw a phone with a heat warning screen that won't let you power on the device.
I have never liked otterbox cases though because of the screen protector that's built in. I always wished they had offered a version that had Plexiglas or 9H glass. Phones got bigger and their cases also didn't get any smaller. It's an otterbox after all I guess. I do believe that they are in dire need of a redesign because you are for sure right about that not having been changed. I think they should get away from the thick rubber they use and may try TPU instead. There are many "rugged" enough cases for far less then an Otterbox case and provides the same amount of protection. I think that's why their market share has dropped over the years.

My Pixel XL shut down multiple times because of overheating until I ditched the more protective case I was using and switched to a RhinoShield Bumper Case, which I'm still getting used to because it doesn't seem nearly protective enough. The Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X both suffered permanent damage over time caused by heat. Multiple LG phones including their flagship suffered permanent damage over time because of heat. Starting with the Samsung Galaxy S6 it's easy to find complaints online from users of Samsung's flagship phones about their phones shutting down without warning because of overheating. I don't think trapping heat was an issue with the older smartphones because they weren't that powerful compared with today's phones and didn't run nearly as hot. Smartphone bodies also weren't designed specifically to dissipate heat until fairly recently. I think the design of these cases interferes with the engineering design of the phones and that eventually it might get to the point where phone manufacturers might void your warranty if your phone suffers damage because you used a protective case that prevented the phone from cooling as intended.

True story about their screen protectors sucking. They are really easy to remove though. They're only held on with a small bead of glue around the outside. Just wiggle it for a few seconds and it comes right off. I prefer the matte finish screen protectors, because they resist finger prints and are reduce glare outside.

Yep, often used to pop them out myself and just keep a film screen protector on the device. Lol, tempered glass want even out yet as screen protectors, so you could tell how long ago that was since I've used an OtterBox case. ?

I used to pop out the plastic screen protectors myself because they were terrible. Dust would inevitably get between the phone screen and the plastic screen protector since the screen protector wasn't attached to the screen which would drive me crazy in an OCD way. I would take the phone out and clean everything but it would just happen again after a few days so I just gave up and popped the OtterBox screen protector out. That was fine as long as you replaced it with another screen protector, which I did on my earlier devices. But eventually screen protectors lost their appeal for me. If you had an OtterBox case and popped out the plastic screen protector without adding another one there would be this annoying gap between the edges of the case and the phone screen that dust, dirt, small food crumbs, salt and the like could easily get into which again drove me crazy. The gap between the edge of the case and the phone screen was so wide without the built in screen protector that you could easily stick a fingernail in it. That was when I gave up on OtterBox cases completely and started using other brands. I kind of like this bumper case I'm currently using --it blends well and you can see the actual design of the phone including the back, which I always previously covered with some black protective case or another. I'm just afraid of cracking the glass on the back of the Pixel or scratching it up. The phone feels almost naked compared with the cases I'm used to. But it also looks nicer than it did in the old case.

It would appear you're not very familiar with OtterBox products in recent years. Only one model has the built in plastic screen, several other models do not have this. Additionally, their cases have gotten smaller and more streamlined, again, it depends on the case model you're looking at. Their symmetry series is one of my favorite cases on the market. Very well built, slim and incredibly strong and protective. Sadly they don't make it for the Pixel.

Far enough, though your comments seemed to apply to OtterBox globally as opposed to a specific product line. I was simply pointing out that the negative points you made against them we're addressed in different product lines. Their cases are expensive.

Yeah, I was only speaking of the defender one. The other ones aren't bad, I just don't like the prices on them.

I don't care much about all these heating stuffs, but if you use a full body case like that, Otterbox or whatever (it was the Nillkin Frosted Shield for me), then heat will be much more intense for the reasons already mentioned on OP. I ran the Antutu benchmark app with the case on and off, and there was a pretty big difference on scores. Never did like full body cases anyway, and this was just an incentive to not use them. Backless bumpers all the way.

I am actually familiar with their slimmer cases like the commuter line but those cases still completely cover the back of the phone, trap heat and prevent aluminum body phones from dissipating heat as intended just like the thicker cases do. And the thick Otterbox Defender Case with the annoying plastic screen protector is not only still being made but it's available for the Pixel XL.

Have you found that backless bumpers provide enough protection for your phone? I'm new to this type of case but haven't had any problems so far.

That's actually the exact same case I was using. It was very hot out both days I had problems with the phone shutting down--in the high 90's and between the heat, the sun, the GPS, Spotify, the car charger and possibly the case it was too much for the phone to handle. I've only driven around in similar conditions once since switching to the bumper type case with no back but the phone didn't overheat and shut down. I'm waiting for another scorching hot day to test the phone again.

The weird thing is that I was looking specifically for Pixel XL cases that claim to dissipate heat before I purchased the bumper case. If you do a Google search cases that claim to dissipate heat are very common for sale in Australia, New Zealand and India but the places that sold them wouldn't ship the cases to the USA and nobody I could find sells any of those cases here. Who knows if they even work--but it's easy to see why people in those particular places would be more concerned with their phones overheating than people in the US seem to be.

Otterbox Defender for the PIXEL XL is only $19.99 on Amazon....($59.99 at Best Buy...lol.) The thinner Commuter case is actually more expensive at $25.99

I tired some $10 case that was kinda like the Otterbox...POETIC Revolution Series....but the rubber it use too hard and slippery. Felt cheap.
I don't see how people can complain about Otterbox prices...$20 for a well proven brand and design to protect a $800+ device....no second thoughts here. And of course it gonna cost 2x as much at a Retail store. Prices are very good on Amazon/Ebay.
I have noticed my Pixel getting quite warm....hottest I have felt it is when it was being used naked in the Google Daydream. hanst slowed down or shutdown at all.

They normally aren't 20 bucks, normally retail is 59.99. I didn't get one at first becuase of that, but my iblason case is broken from repeated drops, so I just got it for 20 bucks. If not, i would have re purchased the iblason case for 16 bucks.

I've had the pixel XL since early Dec. Haven't needed another case until recently. So I never looked until a few days ago. I actually got a amazon wearhouse deal for 16.49 for it lol

has anyone found a good bumper case?

I'm waiting on the Rhinoshield but I'm curious what you guys are using.

The poetic affinity case is great . It's better than the unicorn beetle subcase and the ringke case too. UB scratches way to easy . The ringke is good but the poetic has like a honeycomb look to the back with the same black around it. Also the poetic is firm and it's design doesn't scratch . It's screen protector friendly too.. I've got all three but got the poetic last ..here's pics think you can tell poetic one

Me too but waiting for Amazon to carry it. It took a couple weeks after release for then to carry the op6t rhinoshield.

IMHO, all of those cases are ugly AF

I'm not the craziest fan of the affinity design but it is what it is

Yep, have it and like it a lot. Not bulky, not overwrought design, and feels good in the hand.

I've heard complaints that it's very slippery?

Seems about on par with my Pixel 2/3XL's cloth-covered case. Not the grippiest, but I haven't had issues - for full disclosure I do have a loopy loop installed on mine (post for reference) so it never gets out of my hand, but I didn't have the case modified until a week or so after getting it, and I didn't find it too slippery. Honestly the weight of the phone is what made it slide out of my grip the most.

It has excellent grip whoever told you otherwise is a fool.... I've had it in since day one and it's great not slippery at all. looks good, feels good, and has great protection I've used it on my op6 and now this device. It never disappoints..... Unless you keep your hands covered in crisco all the time.... Don't be a Butterfingers it's very simple

I love the rhino shield bumpers. But I don't suggest you pre-order from the website. The last time I pre-ordered from them it was released to Amazon on the exact same day my case was shipped. With the Rhinoshield website i had to pay shipping and it took about 5 days or so to receive. Had i bought it from Amazon prime, it would have been free shipping and i would have gotten it in 2 days.

Oneplus Nylon Bumper SUX
!!!WARNING !!!
DONT BUY THE ONEPLUS 7PRO NYLON BUMPER
I bought it 3 Weeks ago and now the first Nylon fibers come out of the Case.
I am really carefully only in my pocket and after 3 weeks a 35 dollar case gets broken???
And there is NO refund after 14 Days for any Accessiors from Oneplus so i get nothin new.
Bad bad service its only 1-

What do you mean? Do you have pictures?

I use this one

Not a bumper case but the OnePlus carbon fiber (made by Evutec) IMHO is the best for thin and adequate protection. I love (Evutec) cases, wish they made more models. It's a bit pricey but worth it. Even with months of use (iPhone XS Max), the case wipes off and looks new.
I got mine at the TMO store but I believe it's this one:
https://www.oneplus.com/product/oneplus-7-pro-protective-case
There probably are thinner ones but protection factor goes way down from there.

It's not slippery, but it isn't very grippy either. I own both the Nylon OnePlus bumper and Ringke Fusion X camo. The sides of the nylon case feel like a smooth hard plastic, which doesn't offer much grip or protection. The sides of the Ringke case feel a little more "rubbery" which offers a little more grip and protection. However, the nylon case is much better quality. It is a very tight nylon stitch , with a felt inner.
I change between the two depending on my day/mood. If I'll be out and about constantly taking out my phone for photos or gaming on the go, I'd probably use the Ringke for that extra protection. Most regular days I'll use the nylon for it's slim profile and premium feel.

This.
Also, like I've mentioned before, the buttons can be a bit stiff for some. I have to slice into the sides of the buttons with a razor in order to make them more "clicky" like buttons on a Spigen case.
Rhinoshield refuse to admit their buttons are too stiff.

I use the casemate case sold through TMobile. It's a bit thicker but the glass back on the device leaves much to be desired.
