FLip Cover - YotaPhone

Flip cover for Yota 2 ?
no one?!

Not really but I think yota could of designed one

Designing a flip cover for a phone with two screens would certainly be tricky...

I was imagining it would easier because if they could make a device with two screens this should be a piece of cake

If they add two covers one on each side with magnetic closure the hinges attached the the bumper. Obviously the bumper should be gel case or hard

I'm building my flip cover ...
only for the color screen, because I use mainly e-ink display and I do not want the display lines too, when it is flat on the desk.
a few days and I post the images

More Rugged Case

Right now I have a slim case on my phone, while it does protect the back of the phone. It does not do much more then that, and the front screen is very exposed.
Right now I'm looking to buy this case
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blue-RUGGED...454592?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item416f6f8840
Does anyone have experience with this case? Or another rugged case?
I know the ionic guardian is a thing, but I don't like it.
I'd rather have this case.

Your phone will most likely fall on a corner, having silicone rubber in the corner instead of the polycarbonate should provide better protection. Now if only I could fine a seller that ships to canada.

I believe there is silicon under the hard plastic. I had something similar.It also has a kickstand. Better off going with the op case.

I got mines in the mail today. Pretty solid case, especially for the price. I previously had the Exact Armor/ionic guardian case, but I needed a belt clip combo, so this deal did the trick.
FYI, I ordered the blue rubber with black shell one. The blue is much darker compared to the listing pictures, almost seeming like it has a bit of violet in it.
In the picture it seems that the phone case has a kick stand. Is that so? I am talking about the case itself, and NOT the belt holster. Let me know.
I'm waiting for the Ballistic Shell Gel and the Trident Aegis as far as rugged cases go. Hopefully they come within a few weeks!

Yes, the case itself has a built-in kickstand. It reliably clicks into place when folding it in and folding it out. The blue in the photo is actually darker in person.

Quick questions:
neugenusis, if i understand the picture correctly, the holster protects the screen? does it slip in and out easy? i would use the holster to protect the screen instead of a pouch. does the clip remove (to keep it in my pocket)?
Thanks!
Background:
Right now I am using a $5 TPU cheap case with a leather pouch. The combo works really well. I don't like screen protectors and the pouch keeps the phone perfectly safe from scratches when I have it in my pocket.
I'm afraid the thin TPU won't be good protection against a hard drop so that is why I am interested in these tough cases.

Richieboy67, can you elaborate on why you think OP case is better? These two cases seem to be the exact inverse of each other. One has an exo-skeleton that clips into the silicon on the corners and the other has one that clips in on the sides. Silicon material is absent to make the notches so OP's case on the corners has less material and thus seems more vulnerable there than the one ackbarthegreat has suggested.
Thanks in advance for your opinions.

My thoughts exactly. I figure if it is good enough for people designing otterbox, ballistic etc it is good enough for me.

The phone is suppose to face the holster, thus protecting the screen. The phone won't fit comfortably facing the other way. There's enough friction between the phone and holster that if I violently shake the holster, the phone still won't come loose even at the slightest. While phone and holster is on my belt, I grip the holster with 2 fingers and push the bottom of my phone upward with another finger till the phone gets halfway through the holster, then i pull the phone entirely out with my hand, so wouldn't consider its an instant simple slip in and slip out, but I don't consider it difficult either. It gives me a better sense of security. The clip does not appear to be removable from the holster unless, I suspect, some excessive force is applied.

The silicon piece covers the entire back and edges of the phone. The hard plastic shell goes over the silicon. The silicon is thinner where the hard plastic shell covers for an overall flush shape. The one ackbarthegreat suggested, the corners are full silicon. On mine, its half silicon, half hard plastic. Though ackbarthegreat suggestion's corners does seem slightly thinker, I wouldn't say there is significantly less material. It is similar to Seidio's Active case for the N4.
I'm just ordered a case like this one but in red! I'm using the exact Armor already. But I want a case that also protect the open ports from dust! This has a cover for the 3.5 mm headphone jack and the use port.

have you even tried any of these amazon/ebay cases?
i got my step-father a ballistic case for his S2 and i just got the Exact Armor case from Amazon for my Nexus 4, the fit is just as good minus branding. and lets not begin with the price, i love ballistic's cases but it hard to argue a case that is virtually the same thing for -$20.00 in price. this case seems to be on par with a Kraken case... but oh well... i want to make a video review once i get this case

Quality problems with the plastic part between screen and chamfered edges

Hi,
I have my 6P now for two weeks, and for the looks I'm rocking it only with a screen protector and a white carbon dbrand skin.
So I am pretty careful with the phone.
The problem is that the phone already shows signs of wear, to be more specific:
It already has notches in the plastic between the screen and the camfered edges.
The plastic seems to be very soft. The only possible scenario where I can imagine to picked up the notches is while having it in a car holder(also made out of plastic).
Does anybody else has the same problem?
Can you post a picture of this issue?
wish i could help but like above pics would help as don't know what it could be. Been naked and then to dbrands and have no issues
I can confirm these issues. I'm on my 4th RMA because of this issue. My first device has a chip on the plastic piece by the power button, second device had what looked to be the mate finish wore off and a dead pixel on the display, the third device had the same thing and a strong pink hue on the bottom of the display, and now I'm waiting on my 4th RMA. By the way if this one is messed up I'm going to stick it out with my first device because the display on this device is perfect! You can also see a big difference in the display from the RMA units. The panel looks black when off like my GS6 but the RMA's I've had looked dark grey when off and not black. The plastic piece that sits between the display and metal seems to be an issue Google is tracking so hopefully it gets fixed. I have a white 64gb 6P if that helps. I did have pics of all the issues because I had to send them to Google for proof but I erased them. Sorry

I have this issue with mine. That plastic strip that goes around the screen got rip or broke in my Nexus 6P is flimsy and is coming off. I had my phone from launch week 1. Does warranty cover this? Is some minimum but for my OCD this issue is killing me.

The plastic part on my phone came from Google with dents and scuffs in it.
I have this issue also.
The plastic is quite fragile. My damage was caused by the Google nexus 6P case...
Have pics but cant post em because first post.
The black rubber like piece between the glass and case is coming off on my Nexus 6P. I've had the phone in the Genuine Official Nexus 6P Leather Folio Case Flip Cover since almost day one, so I'm a bit surprised after about 2years of use Build Number N2G470.
My answer was simple to this. Wanted a black and silver nexus 6p and when I removed the back to change it I noticed how flimsy the plastic was and was dented and cracked in places. So I took a razor blade when the phone was back together and removed the plastic all from around the edges and it now looks slot better. I did try and buy a mid frame before doing this as my LCD was perfect. But couldn't find one. Much better look now and the phone now looks brand new again and my ocd is at bay. Lol.

Doesn't that plastic filler strip (between glass and aluminum chassis) act as a retaining ring to hold in the glass? I have not taken my phone apart, but that thin black plastic piece has broken in several places (with sections missing). I assumed it acts like a snap ring in the groove to retain the glass screen. Am I wrong? Is it just a for aesthetic purposes?
Does anyone know if Google recognizes this as a defect and fixes it for free? Or.... can I remove the remaining pieces and use the phone without it?
It doesn't hold the screen in. It's designed to act as a buffer between the glass and the frame to help stop the glass crack or smash if you drop it. It's actually part of the mid frame attached to the glass. Mine did what yours did, hence when I put the new housing on, I trimmed it down with a razor blade level with the rear housing and it made it look so much better, while still doing good the job of helping stop the glass from cracking when dropped. To be honest, once a case was on the phone you couldn't tell anyway, also Google doesn't see it as a defect, just part of wear and tear. I tried a defect claim and they said no as it was damage I had caused, even though mine happened from taking it in and out of my spigen case on a few occasions. Hope that helps.

Also, you need to slide a slim pry tool between that plastic and the metal frame to remove the back. It's not in a ridge its part of the midframe of the phone.

Silicon protector

My original Yotaphone 2 has got two cracks on the front screen, one on the back and the GPS is broken. The back screen is so matt and smooth that it makes the phone very slippy and it's had many corner bangs on the floor.
With the recent massive price drops, I ordered a new one and I also ordered both an aluminium snap-on protector and a silicon protector to see which works best. While the aluminium one is very nice looking and potentially offers good protection from a fall, its finish makes the phone even more slippy. The silicon one gives nice grip all the way around and is much more secure.
I highly recommend getting one of these cheap silicon protectors from eBay or wherever. While I'm at it, I also got a glare-free screen protector for the front-screen, which gives the front screen an equivalent matt finish to the rear one. It really gives it an edge in terms of feel of quality.
You can get a nice and cheap protector here:

I have a silicone case, but it does not fit very well and due to the "grippy" texture, it does not slide out of my pocket easily.

I searched Amazon and found nothing.

I don't know, but if this will work, I think it's better, what do you think?
Frankly that's a little risky because display and glass are glued together. You'll need a hot air gun or a hair dryer to try separate them and a lot of luck not to break the screen.

Does Mi A1 have oleophobic coating on screen?

Does this phone have oleophobic coating on it's screen?
Judging by the massive amounts of smudges on my screen, I would say no.
The body, however, does have some sort of coating. Smudges don't stick thaat aggressively to the metal body.

Yes it does have oleophobic coating on the screen. If you apply a droplet of water on the screen you can clearly see the water form small blobs like these:

Just be careful not to use any alcohol on the screen since this removes the oleophobic coating..
