Just wondering if anyone has any feedback on the fabric cases available on the google store ? Do they collect lint or dust ? unlike a plastic case do they grip to your pockets when reaching for your phone ?
The fabric cases have a little bit of friction but not enough that it catches or makes it difficult to slide in/out of pockets. When you look at the oils and fingerprints on other cases just remember that your fabric case is actually absorbing most of that. Just because you can't see oil, dust, and dirt that it doesn't mean it's not there. I'd recommend that once a week you do the following:
Take the case off the phone (this should be assumed, but I don't know you)
Run the case under a warm water faucet until it looks and feels like it's saturated
Lather up some hand soap on your hands and then rub into the case for about a minute
Wash off the case (and your hands) for another minute rubbing on the case to make sure you're pushing the soap out
Let the case air dry for a few hours or use the low setting on a hair dryer (your hands are ok to dry using a towel or paper towel)
Is protection any good (edges, corners and front lip)? I always had SPECK cases but this year, they do not seem to come up with any Pixel 5 cases. I need a case that both looks good and adds some reasons protection against drops without adding too much bulk like the UA cases do.
Also, I am a little concerned that the fabric cases will stand the test of time. Any experiences?
I read that the case comes with a raised front "lip" to protect the display and IIRC, fabric cases for older models did not have this. Was the built updated?
I got a Google fabric case for my 3xl. Phone falls and hits right on the bottom edge where there is no protection.!
Screen cracks right at that spot. No problem, call Google - they denied my claim for a new screen! Said the case wasn't designed to protect the phone!
Screw Google and thier cases. I've dropped my 4XL many times with the UAG and or Spigen clear case on it and never had any damage!

This is why I always try to go with the most grippy case.
The fabric case is one of the most slippery cases with dry hands. You just open you hand and your phone slips off like a flying bomb.
I've been using Spigen Thin Fit in black colour and it's a bit more grippy than a classic TPU.
However mate silicone rubber cases are probably even more grippy.

I bought one of these for my 3xl, it broke the first time my phone fell from my desk.

The protection is NOT very good and as someone else noted here, even google seems unwilling to honor claims if you have the device in the case and it falls and breaks.
I've had this case for two days. My first Google fabric case. I don't find it slippery and yes, it's easy to put in pocket and take out. I am concerned about the exposed bottom though. It would really have to land in a weird way to hit it though. I'm ordering a cheap tpu case as well however.
It does look real good. I have the blue version.
I got the case 3 days ago, so far I like it, like already mentioned the bottom being open is a worry but the case is very nice. I had a Spigen thin clear one for 5 days but it was a bit too bulky.
Given that this listing has now popped up, aos tv for pc the timeframe fits with what the audio acoustics firm turned into capable of share prior to this discovery. However, we are aware and might verify that the existing T-four hundred Comply Foam Tips are compatible with Pixel Buds. That stated, the larger sizes can cause troubles with the Pixel Buds case, as we have explained previously. A committed earbud tip for Google’s first clearly wi-fi earbuds is probably a warm price tag in that regard.
The fabric WILL get dirty and discolor in a few weeks. It looks good initially but wont when the fabric darkens from oils.
The case doesn't feel the most secure on the phone, like if it's dropped I feel the phone would pop out of the case. The case doesnt "snap" onto the phone with a lip around the front class.
The case doesn't allow for the phone to sit nicely on the Pixel stand (wireless charger). THIS is a shame, you have to balance the case/phone for it to stand straight
This is not my experience at all. The case is very tight and very secure. It is the first case that won't even allow a skin underneath it without tearing it up because it is so snug and the case wraps around to the front catching the edge of any skin. It doesnt cover the bottom of the phone which could be a negative for some.
I also have the lightest 'static grey' colour. I used the case every day with dark coloured and unwashed denim. It picked up a little oil on the outer edges from pocket friction after a month. Quick wash under the tap and it was back to brand new.

I agree, I've had this case for over a month now and it doesn't feel like it will come off the phone at all. Haven't dropped the phone yet to test it out though. Also while I use the phone a ton, I haven't felt a need to wash mine yet, but of course YMMV depending upon your environment, if you use the phone while you eat, etc...
I just got the Speck grip case too only because I was worried about the open part of Fabric case on the bottom, but nothing else. I really dig the way the Fabric case looks much more. The orange button and orange google logo on the back make it easier to find in darkness too.

This is not true. Do you really own this case or just posting your thoughts?
1. It won't get dirty in regular conditions for 99% of the ppl, of course if you work at oil refinery it would. It's easy to wash it with a soft sponge and dish washing liquid - takes 5mins. I owned two fabric cases for p3xl for 2years, now I have it for p5, and it's not dirty at all after 1.5mo. No signs of discolor, do not wash with bleaching substances and do not put in contact with aggressive chemicals. That's it.
2. It doesn't pop out when the phone falls - checked by myself unintentionally. It has a quite good leap from 3 sides, so the phone screen is quite protected. Of course it's not an Otterbox case, but I prefer good aesthetic over bulkiness with a grenade-blast-protection.
My only concern would be that the G logo has peeled off a little - p3xl cases were definitely better with that. But I fixed it with glue and a pin in 5mins
Sorry for my bad English.
Cheers

I do own and use this case.. I also owned it for each pixel model I've owned.
After a few weeks it showed discoloration from oils/grease on my hands and dirt from surfaces. I have cleaned the orange case before but the color never truly returns to that from when its brand new.
Plus in a time right now, this sort of case is a nesting ground for germs and not as easily cleanable
I use Google's green chameleon fabric case for my Pixel 5 sorta sage and I'm satisfied. Non slippery at all. The only problem is that if you put tempered glass the lips of the case is on the same height with the glass. Also using Spigen's Ultra hybrid. Very nice one too!
On my Pixel 4XL I have all the fabric cases except the blueish one. I like them so much.

Covid can't live on a porous surface like this. Most viruses can't. Non-issue.
I love the fabric cases.
Hey guys, Target has a $31 sale on some cases.
and B&HPhotos is having a bigger one, 21 for one color
I decided to get a google fabric case, and found a brand new one on ebay for £15 which i thought was a bargain, was the slate grey version. Have to say i love it, definetly feels premium and its been the best case i have bought.
Looks great, feels great. Recommend it.

I'm looking for a protective case, but the rubber one that I have is too "sticky", making it difficult to get the phone into/out of tight pockets. Can anyone recommend a protective cover with a smooth service that won't get caught in tight clothing?
I just bought the official samsung mesh case (red), from amazon for £6. There are some reviews of it on YouTube I think. I think it's great, it protects the back and sides (not top and bottom), stops the camera touching surfaces when you put the phone down and the cut outs are all perfectly aligned (since it is official samsung lol). It adds about a millimetre of thickness, which is not noticeable. It is made of plastic, hard plastic so doesn't attract dust etc, and the mesh design stops me getting scared that the phone is going to overheat.
Very solid case, also comes in blue, black and white. Oh yea the red one is sort of metallic looking-not overly though. I'm guessing the blue is similar.
Good luck! I looked online for about 3 hours trying to find a good one!
Pleomax case. Not the jelly ones but the ones with silver buttons. They're on eBay.
The smoothest case is incipio NGP.
It collects no lint and keeps the phones shape.

These ones are very nice and back is not sticky. Buttons work very well.
I can also say the TPU cases (matte) are very nice nowadays. They didn't have these 5 years ago. Very smooth. Depending on which you buy it can be very form fitting.
I use this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/30057806836...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_6140wt_1163
I have been using it for the last 2-3 months and there is NO deformation that typically occurs to silicon cases. There is NO extra space between phone and case. This is very heavy usage too as I tend to drop my phone a lot. I keep a pack of smokes, a lighter(not good for screen ) and my phone in one pocket as well so you can imagine how stressed the case can get
I used to use mesh cases for my galaxy s 1. but you start to realize that they are no use when you drop your phone and your phone gets scratches on the parts it doesn't protect. + the fact that the phone likes to pop out of them once in a while. My girlfriend scratched her screen this way
When i bought my HTC One Stealth Black, i made sure that i got a perfect model (no defects). I took about an hour in the shop examining all the black HTC One's (they agreed to open 3 boxes for me) before i finally made up my mind. I paid for my phone off-contract and went home perfectly happy with a 801e model (it also has a sticker on the side of the phone that says UKR and on the box as well, so i guess it's from Ukraine and i got a 3-pin power adapter in the box together with the standard 2-pin charger plug) and also got a free TPU case with screen protector, as gift from the shop. Well, i put my phone in the TPU case as soon as i got home for fear of any drops/bumps/scratches, put it in my jeans pocket and went through the rest of my day moving around. Later that afternoon, i pulled the phone out of its case to touch the cold aluminium back and to my horror, i found a scratch (there were no scratches whatsoever before) that matched the contour of the TPU case around the camera. The scratch is around the flash.
Conclusion: The cheap unbranded TPU case seemed to fit the phone snugly but apparently not, as the constant movement and rubbing of the phone within the TPU case from inside my jeans pocket had caused the sharp edge of the TPU case to slowly erode the paint coating. It's a good thing that i noticed it after only one day usage or the etching would have definitely gone deeper, possibly even exposing the aluminium colour after a couple of days. It says "nothing but the best" on the packaging of the unbranded case, which is ironic.
So, my advice (and the reason for my endless rant in this post): stay away from cheap TPU cases, even if it says TPU, which might be true about the material itself but the fact of the matter - without a tight fit of the phone inside the casing, the resulting inside friction between the phone and its casing will damage your phone, causing the paint to wear off. This is probably not applicable to those of you who chose/use the Glacial Silver HTC One, since any scratch will probably not show up. But with time, the constant friction might cause the scratch to become visible. I've attached pictures so you can understand why i'm *****ing about my One By the way, i apologize for my dirty camera lens.
Lesson learnt - i've already ordered 3 casings (the best i could find after hours of searching, for cases that offer a balance between compactness v/s protection); Cimo Grip Back Case Flexible TPU Black, Otterbox Commuter Black and UAG Aero. I wouldn't bother with any other cases, unless you want even more protection, then you should be satisfied with the Otterbox Defender case.
My friend .. ANY case you put on the phone has the potential to scratch the aluminum on the edges. It is simple physics: if you get some dust/sand in between the case and the aluminum (where in other locations can the dust/sand/lint settle ?) any slight pressure or movement of the case will cause a small surface defect. You can not hide from that and you can not prevent that.
Live with it ! It is called reality.

I had the black for a while. I think that it is prone to anything. Apart from light scratches sustained by using the double dip case, the camera cut out of an incipio case left a watermark on it as well. Now using a silver one and not a single scratch. Rotating between three cases.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't anodized AL WAY harder than TPU?
If it is, then isn't it PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for the case itself to scratch the phone?
Either a) there was dust/dirt in the case or
b) it's not a scratch, try wiping it with mild soap, water and a soft cloth.
Interesting thread...you were writing this 3 years ago, I just picked up two pristine condition used m7s, both with nearly all day batteries. Yesterday I got two cases of the first type described below.
I just love these phones so much. They are such a huge upgrade from any phone I have had since I had a droid 2 from motorola before knowing anything at all about these nifty little computers.
I just came in here to say that I will be getting the hard glass protection from now on for every phone I get. Would also recommend to anyone as it is far superior to foils.
Also three good types of cases:
- the hardened shell with no button coverage, and brushed metal exterior
- the clear plastic back, black bumpered semi hard with plugs and accurately designed button enhancers (distinguished by black surface lines on the back coming in from upper and lower edges about a cm each, towards the antennas)
-and believe it or not I really liked the ordinary rubber sort of cases with wavy line down the back and dual texture... as long as they have button covers. But those wouldnt be good for people who have a hard time with the buttons already.
Just picking up these phones starting in June 2016...has made my android experience so much more enjoyable...now being able to play top 3d heavy performance requiring games...and so much different development for the phones.
here's a couple pics of my phone cases I was describing. no scratches whatsoever on the two used like new phones, although its a used case on goldy. the other phones are for family and such, but also loving the cases on them. red looks good in red but it obscures the back... so take clear

We got an Moto X last week and a 2nd one on Monday Sale..
We got a case for the 1st one but it covers up the MotoMaker design.
Like the clear back and the rubber sides.
Any thoughts or feed back?
http://www.motorola.com/us/Air-Jack...-Jacket-Grip-for-Moto-X-by-Power-Support.html
I got one yesterday and I really like it. The rubber on the sides seal up to the bezel really nice and it fits snug. Adds just enough grip to it feel secure holding it (I don't like slippery devices!)
My first case was the clear plastic shell by inCase and I wasn't a fan. The plastic felt really slick & had no grip, and held on to smudges FOREVER. The AirJacket's plastic is a lot easier to wipe clean.
That looks like a really nice case. Even with last week's 30% off though, I couldn't justify that much for a case.
I like the one I got, except for the orange color. Is this odd pastel orange. Good quality though

I found the trick to that.
When putting it on--but the bottom of the phone in first, then slide the top over.
Reverse this for taking it out of the case. (Start at bottom, go to top.)
Anyone know the difference between the InCase clear case and the Air Jacket Clear case? I ordered the Air Jacket one, but haven't seen any reviews except on the InCase one.

I have both of these cases. I ordered the clear InCase with my phone off of the Moto Maker. It fit the phone fairly snug, but it seemed to feel like cheap plastic to me. It would act like a magnet for skin oils and finger prints and then was nearly impossible to get completely clean again. The molding of the edges that grip the phone seems kind of funny, because if you look at it pretty straight on it looks like there are paint chips in the plastic or something. Getting it off the phone always felt impossible, too! The whole thing felt very poorly made.
The Air Jacket I just got is a whole other story. The plastic on the back feels a lot better and doesn't have as much of the issue with finger prints. The rubber on the sides is grippy but not enough to be distracting. I feel a lot more confident holding this phone in my hand as I walk down the street, mainly in that I don't think it might slip out of my hand on accident.
I got the orange Air Jacket to go with my phone's metallic orange accents. The orange on the case is a little brighter and more washed out, but I still think it looks nice. I have a couple photos of both cases attached. Sorry if you are interested in seeing the phone in the clear InCase! I am not motivated enough to go through the hassle of swapping them again!
Edit: My attached photos aren't working for me so I'm guessing its not working for anybody else. Here are some linked photos, instead.

Thanks for the pictures and thoughts. I actually got the clear air jacket case. It doesn't have the rubber bumper, its similar to the incase clear, but supposedly has a self healing plastic. But if you like the clear plastic on the normal air jacket, its probably the same as on the case I ordered.

Nice, just to confirm cause in your pics it looks like it doesn't, but does this case hit the screen at all on the edges? I ask because I am curious if it would cause any screen protectors to lift on the corners like some TPU cases do because they hit the screen.
Thanks
The rubber does not extend past the bezels at all so you should never have that problem. In fact at the edge of the case you can see a tiny bit of the bezel.

What Jayrod already said on this is correct. You will still see a small sliver of the bezel.

Yes, the case will lift the screen up away from the surface its sitting on. I usually place mine face down when I'm at my desk. No problems.
I ordered the Air Jacket Grip from Motorola and one of the anti-glare screen protectors. I think they both fit nicely on the Moto X. Does anyone know if there's a holster solution that works well with this case? I've been back and forth on all my phones between holsters and pocket carry. I was just wondering if Air Jacket made a holster for this case or if I'd have to go generic pouch.
I've been using my moto X with the air jacket case and the brilliant screen protector for about a week now. I'm really liking both. My biggest gripe about screen protectors was the way they felt. My previous ones felt too gummy and made it annoying to use so I would always rock the phone naked. The brilliant is as smooth as the glass. It does attract fingerprints and smudges but they wipe away easily enough.
Thank you..got the phone and the Air Jacket today and love the case!
It matches the Moto Maker Lime Yellow so great mix.
Real comfortable to use and good protection.
With the $350 purchase and 30% accessories it was great value vs the 1st Moto X I got at full price and returned for the difference!
Just put the Air Jacket Grip on my wife's and the regular Air Jacket on mine (they didn't have the color I wanted). Both cases fit very nicely, with minimal bulk, and don't appear to overlap the screen. They wrap just enough of the bezel to keep them firmly in place. Both models are super thin, lightweight, and follow the contours of the phone perfectly. Each has its pros/cons.
The Air Jacket Grip was fairly difficult to attach, and covers the buttons so if you're in love with your accent color, you'll lose some of it. This is offset by the fact that the transparent plastic "transmits" the color of the rubberized grips to all the visible edges of the plastic, so you pick up color accents all around your camera, speaker, and all the other cutouts. Kinda cool fiber-optic-like effect. The other obvious thing is the edge is grippier, but not nearly as much as I expected.
The regular Air Jacket has cutouts for all the buttons, so it doesn't hide the accent color, and is a breeze to attach. It covers much less of the front of the phone too than the grip version, because it doesn't wrap around the top or bottom of the phone. It's also extremely slippery.

I just received my regular Air jacket today and you're absolutely right about it being slippery. I'm glad they designed it to where I can still place my finger in the dimple though.
Got mine and fought like hell to install. Silver is not silver. More like white. Returning.
Also don't like how hard it is to push the buttons.
On to the next. (i have 5 total-mostly cheap one's from amazon)
Hi
I bought a oneplus one about 3 months ago and I absolutely love it however I dropped it a while ago and everything is fine but the frame area to the left of the charging port is completely jacked up :/ chunks of it are missing too...
I'm currently using the oneplus flip cover however it doesn't cover it up, so my question is: is there any light tpu/hard shell case that covers up the entire silver bezel, or at least the bottom of the phone so I don't have to look at this anymore xD. All cases I've seen so far leave a bit of the bottom frame exposed just enough so you can see the damage :'(
Anyone know any case that can cover it up?
Thanks!
I advise you to look for the "Diztronic" TPU case, covers completely the silver frame, following the contour of the screen. There's just a 1 cm spot where the frame is visible, at the bottom of the cover, near the hole for the USB cable, but in normal use is not visible. It's 6 months that I'm using this cover in combination with a tempered glass and I'm really satisfied.
Guess it all depends on what kind of protection you want. If you just want mild protection and to just cover the sides, then go with the tpu case. If you want heavy protection, I would suggest the Tudia Omnix Hybrid, http://www.amazon.com/TUDIA-Full-body-Protective-Protector-Resistant/dp/B00SO4XYHA . I have the Tudia case and it has taken a beating and protected the phone very well, even from some pretty high falls. Only con about the Tudia case, is that the front covers the sides of the screen a bit and prevents touch at the the very edges of screen. This can be a bit bothersome if using apps in full screen/landscape when you have to swipe down to exit full screen.

I totally agree, couldn't have said it better. Here are some visuals for you. I got the Diztronic case when I bought the phone, it has protected it from falling out a car, off the desk, and off a moderately high shelf. You can get a tempered glass screen protector off eBay, have to search a bit (TechArmor don't have one). I got one from user dreamlight2004 for around 5 dollars. I made the mistake of getting the OPO screen protector when i first got my phone and it went bad a month ago, a hard scratch from a key. Tempered glass protector looks so much better. Just loaded COS13, it should keep me busy until the OP3 gets announced - so far it's looking to be a really good phone (boo on the OP2 and OPX)

I agree, Diztronic bumpers are terrific.
I'm using this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rearth-Case-OnePlus-One-Folie-Ringke-Fusion-Schutzhulle-Cover-Tasche-klar-/121715293296?hash=item1c56cbfc70:g:gAUAAOSwT6pVt5tV And it is awesome. You can also print your designs for this case!
Ringke Fusion for me is great. It covers the OPO completly.
DO NOT BUY THE TUDIA CASE.
I bought it because I thought it looked pretty sweet. It's the worst case I have ever owned, and I have owned a few. Half the case is slippery nonsense plastic. You grab your phone "wrong" (by this I do not mean insecurely, but simply you happen to not have your fingers on enough of the case's rubber outline), it's like holding an eel.
The clips covering the audio jack and usb port are an absolute NIGHTMARE to open, and plugging in your charger for the night would realistically take three hands with 17 fingers each to manage in a reasonable timeframe. Good thing my audio jack's clip, after having been used exactly twice without even the slightest bit of the abuse it deserved, now no longer clips into it's crevice, and is permanently hanging out at a 30 degree angle. The pop-out clip on the back is nail ruining torture to get out, as is the rubber outline holding the front of the case, should you want to get this garbage off to see how far you can launch it through the air in rage.
I wouldn't use this piece of junk if they paid me.
I am using the TUDIA Dual-Layer case+a glass screen protector, which turned my One to a tank
I drop it way too often, but it still works flawlessly, so I can recommend this case. It also coverers the aluminum frame
I can rep the Poetic Case found here:
I took out the screen protector but I have been rocking the case for more than a year. It is kinda bulky but I have no worries about dropping it or tossing my phone on my desk. Also, It is kinda water resistant (with the screen protector). I have dropped like a glass of water on it and quickly cleaned it up with no harm
I'm a new Axon 7 owner and am currently searching for a case to use on this phone. The stock transparent case that comes with the phone is great but due to the fact it's a glossy plastic, it attracts a lot of grease from my fingers and feels dirty after a while. I also dislike it because the sweat from my hands will form into condensation on the back of the case. I also have a problem where the jack on my headphones (Audio Technica ATH-M50) is too large to fit in the hole provided.
I decided to purchase the Spigen 'Rugged Armor' case from Amazon after reading a lot of positive comments about it, but I have been left disappointed and debating whether to return it due to the sheer size and thickness that makes handling the phone (Which is already large enough!) incredibly difficult with small hands. The case does not add much friction despite the material used having a rubber-like appearance, and I actually feel more likely to drop the phone as a result of trying to fumble with the added size. As well as this, the cut-out for the headphone jack is still too small even though it's larger than the wider than the one seen on the stock case. I also find it a lot more difficult to access the fingerprint scanner due to the thickness of the case surrounding it. Another problem is that the case is quite difficult to put onto the phone and a lot harder to remove, to the point where it feels like i'm actually going to damage the phone by attempting to do this!
For my previous phone, a Lenovo ZUK Z2, I had a fantastic Nillkin 'Frosted Shield' shell case that was made from a soft-touch rubber-like plastic. It was very slim at about 2mm in thickness at most, and although it didn't offer much in the way of drop-protection, it did have a nice textured back and that increased the grip tremendously. So, despite the case not being able to protect the phone quite as much from being dropped, it didn't matter because the chances of dropping the phone in the first place were a lot less likely. I wondered whether there was something similar for the Axon 7, but instead in a TPU-style with the sealed corners, and the same thickness as the stock case that's included with the phone? Any recommendations would be most appreciated.
This one is the best one, hands down: https://www.amazon.de/ARTILVST-umgebene-Struktur-Oberfl%C3%A4che-Protector/dp/B01MTLLSPA/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1505381744&sr=8-2-fkmr2&keywords=axon+7+slim+case+sand
It is ultra slim and has a very nice feel.

That looks nice, it's kinda like the old Sandstone Black finish on the OnePlus One. There was one similar to this on Amazon UK but I don't think it had the same texture to it. My only compliant with that one is that it isn't a TPU case which completely covers the corners, but on the other hand the sand texture probably adds a lot of grip to reduce the risk of it being dropped.
I'm currently looking into getting the J&D case from their official website. It's in TPU-form which covers the entire phone (Except from the power/volume buttons!) and has the textured soft-touch back I wanted. The only problem with this one is that the glossy plastic edges look a bit tacky in the pictures, but hopefully it's not as bad in person as it looks on the website. I have a discount code which knocks a subtle 15% off the price listed, so it might be worth a shot.
Looking into this now myself. The stock clear case will go yellow as they all do. Getting cheap see through black case as a temporary till I find a good one. I find the clear one a tad loose at the side.

Yes.
In my opinion it's the perfect one.
My buddies ordered it for their Samsung cause of the nice touch.
Color is anthracite, not fancy but decent

Thanks. I'm mostly interested in the grip. I had a similar case from Amazon. fr but it was in fact quite slippery (it had a satin feel to it). Had to send it back.
The stock case that came with the Axon 7 is quite grippy but it is slowly going yellow.

Hey, have you received the case yet? Just wondering what you thought to it. If either you or @Sui77 could post a picture of it, that would be great as well. I'm still debating whether to choose this or the J&D TPU case that completely conceals the corners. I can't stand using the case which came with the phone much longer, as it's made from glossy plastic and attracts a lot of filth and grease. I imagine the ARTILVST case would be a lot better in this regard.

Yes I did. Or is ok, but not as grippy as I was hoping for. The original case provides more grip.

Thanks for posting those pictures! That's a shame to hear the grip wasn't as good as expected. I wanted something which provided more grip than the stock case, so maybe this isn't the right one for me. I also live in the United Kingdom and having the case shipped from Germany would make it more expensive in postage costs. It does look like a nice case but I am worried it might not offer much protection if the phone is dropped. I think the J&D case would perhaps be better because it has a soft-touch back and conceals all the corners properly.
I have that same Spigen case as above, an Incipio TPU case in smoked brown, and another thin "shell case". This thin shell offers zero protection in case it is dropped, making using one pointless , IMO.
The Incipio case is OK, but again thin and will show wear very quickly. The Spigen one is my favorite hands down, doesn't add bulk to the phone all ports easily accessable, and the edges offer good grip.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinions regarding the cases available for the Axon 7. It's interesting to hear how you found the Spigen case not to be bulky, because I found the opposite and returned it for that exact reason. I eventually purchased one of the cheap, plastic shell cases from AliExpress similar to the that in the pictures Joaste posted above.
My overall opinion on this case has been positive but it has worn on the edges and there are cracks down all four corners. As you mentioned, a shell case does not offer much drop protection but it's definitely better than not having a case at all and it does improve the grip quite notably. However, I wish it had a textured or 'Sandstone' back to help avoid grease buildup.
I am now looking for another case, but options in the UK are limited since the Axon 7 is not officially sold here.
I've been using my TPU smoke black case with a glass screen protector for a while and enjoyed that. I got fed up with the Poetic Revolution case because of the dry protector built into the front. It allowed dust and stuff in between the screen and protector. Tonight I stripped out the dry protector and put the case on with the glass protector still on the screen. Fits nice. I have a full coverage protector to fit and might see if it will work with the Poetic. Might need to trim the inner edges of the corners near the speaker grilles.
I've been using this Proworx case since right after I got my Axon 7, so for a bit over a year now. I wasn't super impressed when I got it so I figured I'd replace it as soon as I found something better or it wore out, but I'm still using it, which says something about it.
It isn't the slimmest, for sure, but it isn't as bulky as the Otter Boxes and whatnot that everyone with a non-cracked iphone seems to have. It protects very well - TPU around the edges, fully covering the corners (which is a must, in my eyes), polycarbonate back, enough of a lip on top to protect the screen if you set it down face-down, and the cut-outs and buttons are perfect. Good drop protection - I've "thrown" it onto asphalt, tile, and concrete without the phone getting a scratch. Also works well with the glass screen protectors we covered in another thread. Easy enough to put on and take off too, with no chance of the phone just falling out.
Again, not the thinnest, but not huge, and the protection is excellent. Plus they're cheap and come in multiple colors. And as is typical with cheap stuff manufactured in China, I've seen this same case under at least a couple of other brand names, CoverOn for one. For $5-$6 I recommend trying it - I like it enough that I pretty much never think about replacing it, even though it (a clear one) has yellowed a tad. After trying like 10 cases for my G3 and finding faults with each of them, I can say I like this one enough that I'll probably replace it with the same one, eventually.

I decided to order one of these in black to try out. Have been quite happy with my Spigen, but after installing this Proworx case yesterday, I think I am falling in love. Seems to offer enough protection, fits & looks nice, AND I kind of like how the buttons are a bit harder to push in, which actually prevents me from squeezing open the screen every time I try to pick it up. :good:

Quoting myself here.
Today I fitted the full coverage protector to my Axon 7 and it fits into the Poetic Revolution case nicely! Glad I stripped out the dry protectors in the Poetic cases. I've also now fitted a plastic protector over the glass one as a quick and easy tear off to sacrifice for wear and tear but the glass one makes the front of the phone flat. Even with two stacked protectors, touch works perfectly.
The picture is slightly misleading as the black section also covers the capacitive buttons so there's no indicator of position, but not being backlit anyway, it makes little difference.
Here's a quicky bunch of pics. I have a soft TPU smoky case, black Poetic Revolution and a blue/grey Poetic Revolution which can be mix and matched. Got a couple of little bubbles under the plastic protector and will fix that later, or just remove it. Looks good with just the full coverage glass one.
If anyone is looking for a slim case I just picked up a Bear Motion Sand from eBay. Best case I've had so far for my A7 and I've tried quite a few. Feels like my OPO did.

Been using this one for over 6 months now with out any issues , not as bulky as it looks and the stand is useful . I also have a full body clear skin from clear-coat that fits superbly, clear-coat has various outlets through the UK and installs as you wait , is a bit pricey at £30 for the full skin .
I work in the building trade so need it well protected .
