Anyone interested in some "CaliCase" Peel style 0.35MM cases?

I just received a few of these "CaliCase" Peel style .35mm cases, they are really awesome for us thin case lovers, the fit is great, smooth finish that is a bit gripper than the naked phone, buttons are recessed but not enough to hamper finding them along with tactility, and best of all it feels like nothing is on the phone!!

I was able to get 4 for the Pixel XL (Smoke, Solid Black, Clear White, and Clear Blue) and 3 Cases for the Pixel (Smoke, Clear White, Clear Blue)

I'm keeping the Clear Blue, now my daily drivers from the Nillkin Nature lol. I'm willing to sell the remaining for $12 each shipped via USPS (US only, sorry International people) to anyone interested, just let me know!

Pictures of the White Clear, Smoke, and Clear Blue on my Pixel XL for those interested how they look (Keep in mind I have a matte Slick Wrap Skin on the back glass, likely why it shows a small gap in the cutouts of camera and FP sensor). Also pictures of the extra Pixel/Pixel XL clear white and Smoke cases I'm willing to sell

[Google Pixel XL Accessories] jumaaneface:
Message me. I'm interested in the smoked pixel case
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] cswithxda:
Got any pictures? I might get the clear white (Pixel) if I can see what it looks like (Amazon only has solid black in stock).
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Nocturnal86:
Sure, here are some of the Pixel White, someone is currently interested in the smoke for the Pixel, but I'm waiting for a reply

https://goo.gl/photos/xuFP5ZMBdQTc15ny6

Also have some more pictures of the XL ones actually on my XL in my original post a page back
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] adsam3927:
Where did you get all these colours from ...? Amazon shows only black at present for the XL ??
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Alien987:
I have the exact same question. Coincidentally those are the exact same colors of the generic one that was offered on alibaba in large quantities only for resellers.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] hbkekko:
Does anyone tried the Imak (on aliexpress)?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Nocturnal86:
Paid a buddy of mine for them, didn't get that many just some of each color for the XL so I can check them out, and 3 for the Pixel. I'm not going to keep them all that's why I figured I'd sell them to those interested in the case.

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

"CALICASE" is just a reseller. There are no generic ones, these are likely the exact same as they sell.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] cswithxda:
Thanks for the pics. What about the blue one? I know it's sales pending, but would like to see pics and compare. Maybe we can even get some from your friend!
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Nocturnal86:
Unfortunately that one is already gone out of my possesion, but it does look exactly like the XL version I posted! And I wish I could get more, but Id have to buy a large large order, and I dont need that many lol

I have 2 people interested in the white clear and smoke for the Pixel, but just waiting for replies. I'm also willing to sell both smoke and white for 22 shipped, and basically anyone that will pay me and respond to me the soonest will get first dibs :good:
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
You selling the clear white for Pixel XL?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Nocturnal86:
Yes I have the white and smoke Pixel XL case left, the white has some marks that came from manufacturing so I'm selling it for 10 vs 12 for the others. You can check my original post a few pages back to see what I'm talking about, or https://photos.google.com/share/AF1...?key=X2ZFd1pVUnExM2JwZ2Ewa2l0ZGtOOFpyZDdYTlBB
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Nocturnal86:
Intelliarmor is what I'm using
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] zed011:
Are these samples that you got from alibaba?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Gilley:
I did have a case like this for my iPhone 7+ and it dropped off a shelf when I was using it for a flashlight about 5ft onto concrete floor and somehow it didn't mark up the phone but it did the case. Just marking that one up to good luck but just helps without getting scratches on back and glass like previously stated.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] cswithxda:
Received the "X" case from [MENTION=4754150]Nocturnal86[/MENTION] today, unbelievable it was delivered from southwest to northeast coast in only 2 days!!

The pictures are attached. I'm very happy with the case. It's as thin as a thick/heavy printing paper and the material is noticeably harder than TPUs. It probably won't offer great drop protection and there's no front lip to protect the edge of screen, but the feeling of holding this phone in my hand is least 500% better compared to using my previous Amazon TPU clear case. It's super close to holding naked phone yet I can still throw (lightly) my phone onto any surface without worrying about scratching the back or side.

IMO only the case without front lip (and of course being thin, too) provides holding experience and visual appeal that's as close to a naked phone as possible. It also unavoidably increase the risk of damaging screen and its edges, but I guess there's no way around it. Gotta pick your side ;p

Many thanks to Nocturnal for getting his hands on this case and amazingly fast shipping so I don't have to wait endlessly for clear black/white CaliCase to come in stock, or for Peel to finally come out with one that's probably 2x the price. That said, I'm still looking forward to Peel or some other "high end" brands to release any ultra thin case. You never have too many choices![emoji106]

BTW, white Pixel paired with clear white is stunning.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] RoundBagel:
so that's what it looks like! I bought the same one from him looking forward to it
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] cswithxda:
I love the look. :highfive:

The amazon 2-day level of delivery time amazed me and this was all done by USPS first-class! My impression (mostly negative) with them changed a little lol. Hope you get yours soon.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] RoundBagel:
I may receive mine Monday at the soonest since I paid last night and hopefully it's been shipped out today. will post mines as well. Maybe the clear will look good with this combination as well

[Google Pixel XL Accessories] cswithxda:
Surely. The clear white is quite transparent so anything you see without a case will be seen with the case on. The reason I think clear white goes well with white/silver pixel is because the case gives the silver side frame that matte white and frost-like effect, and the edge blends better with the white front now.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] RoundBagel:
hmmm... you're right! I'm digging that look in your photos. I might rip off my tempered glass and dbrand if I like it enough

could I get more photos of that phone with your case in it? :)
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] cswithxda:
Just sent you some links!
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] m@ch3:
Do you still have the clear one for the pixel? I would like to purchase one.

congrats! it's been very helpful in covering up the white for the front
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] cswithxda:
Reporting back after using this ultra thin case for a couple of days. For me personally I've come to like holding this phone 200% more. So 1 x (1+2) = 3 times the love for the phone from me compared to using old cases ;)

One nice thing I've noticed is when I pick up the phone I can feel the coldness of the metal underneath the case thanks to its thinness. It sounds weird but I enjoy this every time I pick up the phone after awhile.

[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Bo$well:
I wish the Calicase shipped to Canada. This sucks
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] swapavi:
Just got the calicase clear black for the XL and this case is not that impressive... Just as slippery as the bare phone, and it makes the power and volume buttons completely flush with the case.

Would've been nicer if this case was more see through too. I have the blue Pixel and wished it would've shown through the case.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] graffixnyc:
I agree, I don't like the calicase at all. I actually find the phone more slippery with it on than with it off. The only reason why I want a case in the first place is because the phone is so slippery, so I want something as thin as possible but with more grip than the bare phone.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] zed011:
I contacted them on amazon.com and they said it should be here around this month. Got this reply 3 weeks ago so hopefully it is still on the way.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Bo$well:
Good to know. Thanks
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] aznblade:
I bought a few of the slim cases from taobao in frosted white. I quite like it but it's definitely slippery. I don't like TPU at all so this is sufficent till another higher quality one comes out with a bit more texture.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] RoundBagel:
any tips for ordering from taobao?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Agreed. Still looking forward for getting Peel, but CaliCase is doing the trick for me :)
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] aznblade:
pretty straight forward actually. i followed this guide: http://www.howtotao.com/buy-from-taobao/
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] mikeprius:
Calicase the thinnest out right now ? How is the maxboost ? Is it similar to Ringke Slim ? I found the ringke slim to be bulky actually.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] ccaannyyoonn:
a few weeks ago i ordered my new case for the pixel xl in amazon (check the link). Its the first time that i tried case of Incipio, but im completely happy with it. Its fitting perfectly to the phone and its only some millimiters high. Okay, the price is abit high with 25 Dollars, but its worth it!!

http://amzn.to/2mvj9cc
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] cswithxda:
Those of you who want to get calicase-like case from Taobao, can go here or here. Different sellers but both have the lowest price I can find there. Reviews are good and it looks to be the same one as the calicase or the alibaba one linked several pages before. Bad news is the shipping cost the same as the item itself. Total comes to about $10. I'm thinking about getting a blue one as a backup or as a mood switcher.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] zed011:
Thanks I ordered all the colours just for the heck of it lol
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] hokiealumnus:
Ok, well, the forum appears to be moody this afternoon and won't let me post my long post. I'll try again some other time. Mod please delete...
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] graffixnyc:
Actually, the Calicase is the thinnest case you will find so far at 0.35mm.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] hokiealumnus:
Wow, that's crazy thin. I stand corrected!
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] popkurn611:
I actually got the tudia ultra slim carbon fiber case and it's amazing. I got the arch matte as well in Gray and wanted to love it but agree that it is way too slippery. The carbon fiber case has grip on the sides and it has a great feel. Only downfall fall is it is only available in black.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] zed011:
I received my cases from taobao. I ordered on the 21st and got them today with just incredible speed. They shipped using UPS and from the warehouse to here took only 2 days; the shipping from the vendor to the warehouse took longer. I am really liking the blue case ; no more waiting for peel or caudabe's illusive cases that are nowhere to be found
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] m@ch3:
So any extras that you are willing to sell?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] cswithxda:
Looks nice! Hope you ordered more than just a blue one given the shipping cost! I think transparent black one would look nice with black phone too. I eventually didn't buy any extra as backup from Taobao. It says shipping is 35RMB (same as case price) when checking out, but upon further inquiring they want 100RMB for a 35 case! I said no, unless I was getting 10 of these I couldn't justify the shipping cost.

[Google Pixel XL Accessories] biggiestuff:
I want to get it but wonder IF i'll be able to put that metal plate behind it for my car mount and how ugly will it be showing through the transparent case
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] popkurn611:
Ah yeah it is semi transparent so
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Alien987:
Same here. I ordered the three "frosted" colors just in case :D but so far have only tried the blue one because I really liked it with my black Pixel.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] mhay:
Hi can you send link for this case
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Shawn haz root:
I think this is it

http://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.html?spm=a1z5f.7632060.0.0&id=544054203691

I think I just bought one in blue for 32yuan ($4.65). I'll wait to see what I am actually charged :crossesfingers:
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] mhay:
Thanks..
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] biggiestuff:
Calicase is supposed to be the exact same but they have a fully non transparent black. Most girls seem to think the metal plate won't fit. Still haven't gotten confirmation.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] hbkekko:
Guys I need a total body hard plastic case like the spigen thin fit that cover also the top and the bottom...any suggestion?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Tylog:
I use the original case from Google. I have a few other from spigen , most are good but the original case from Google is simply the best ( But also the most expensive)
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] ithehappy:
Damn you are the first person to say that I think. Everyone else so fat hated the official Google case.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] TheUndertaker21:
i have the peel pixel xl case

it's so thin but expensive 27 bucks
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Tylog:
I really like it. It feels very good, if looks very good and after few month it looks like first day.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Rox598:
I managed to get one from eBay for £7 (bidding) and I have to agree it's much nicer than people made out to be. Plus I added the Dbrand coloured "G" to it.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] smallsmx301:
So the Cali case and the peel case are the same? I have the new MNML case which used to be Cali case and it's like a shaved down PC case. I love how minimal it is
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] hokiealumnus:
Has anybody tried using a razor to cut out the buttons on the Nillkin Nature? I think that would make this thing perfect, but fear it will make that part of the case mushy (for lack of a better word). Just wondering if anybody has tried it. :)
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] veskostoev:
I had same things in my mind the buttons are horrible so hard to press maybe i will try to cut them.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] neverstopdroiding:
It's not the thinnest but I'm liking my ToughBox, it offers a decent level of protection and doesn't ruin the XL's look. I'm thinking of being a bit more adventurous next time.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Kunal9120:
Is it allowed to post my blog link in here. I already have hard, slim, wallet case list published for Pixel XL ?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] cswithxda:
EDIT: White is gone. Blue is gone. All gone.

This was posted in Pixel forum, but just in case any Pixel users are looking for a case here like I did...

I have four Calicase/Peel style ultra thin case for Pixel that my friend bought off Taobao and brought to me in the states last week. If anyone wants them PM me. $12 shipped each, or if you want all four, $40 shipped. These were for my own use but alas life is unexpected as always and I sold my Pixel before my friend's visit.

Please refer to the pictures. For something off Taobao, the packaging is nice, and the case is exactly the same as Calicase and Peel. I'm also including a link to my previous pictures of how these cases would fit on your Pixel. These pictures were taken after I bought a Calicase style case from a member on XDA, which was what made me to order more directly on Taobao.

Off-topic, what is up with Peel, it took them this long to come up with something that's 2x the price but identical to those of Calicase which in turn are just some imported Taobao items. Can't bear thinking about how iPhone Peel users have been ripped off for all those years!! /rant over/

Let me know if you want more pictures taken.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] ithehappy:
Anyone here who has used both Orzly Flexi Case and Nillkin Frosted Shield, could tell me whether the Orzly is much heftier than the Nillkin? And also does the Orzly produce a distorted LED flash problem?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] C5Longhorn:
I'm getting a Pixel shortly and am trying to decide between a couple of cases. Could someone who has the Trainium, Nilkin Frost Matte, or MaxBoost Snap comment on if they are grippy feeling? I'm leaning towards the Trainium but would like to get some opinions. I've seen a few pics and it's hard to say for sure.

Thanks,

Rick
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] thedarkpassenger:
The Trainium is polycarbonate... I doubt its actually grippy.

Check out the Tudia Arch case, I used it on my N6P and now my PXL, it's thin and protective, very simple, and has a good amount of grip without being sticky.

[Edit] also, being that these are hard cases and the fact that the finish on these devices seems to be pretty susceptible to wear, I would avoid hard cases entirely. Just my opinion, but TPU FTW.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] hokiealumnus:
FWIW, I have the Tudia Arch and really like it, but it wasn't grippy enough for me. However, the Tudia carbon fiber design TAMM looks good and is indeed grippy enough. I'll edit a link in shortly for anyone interested.

EDIT - Link: https://www.amazon.com/Google-TUDIA-Carbon-Lightweight-Absorption/dp/B01M7439JP/
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] thedarkpassenger:
I almost mentioned that one too, but I don't know if it qualifies as ultra thin.

Tudia makes good stuff, I don't see them mentioned very often (maybe I'm lurking in the wrong places)
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] C5Longhorn:
Thank you all for the replies, good to know. In about a month this will all start over with the Pixel 2 [emoji3]

I'll find out once I get it, it's in the mail. Maybe [MENTION=5047159]Tylog[/MENTION] can ring in...
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Tylog:
It's simply excellent. I Property bought it 8 months ago and never more downsized, crip is top, all buttons go without problems and the case looks like new despite daily use of time.

I have payed 39 € and thought it was too expensive but it is worth every penny.

i got this case off amazon

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M6TNFYE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

it fits great, very very thin and light, covers all corners, lip over the glass prevents screen from touching surgaces, and all cutouts are precise. definetely worth it. barely scratches at all and its super smooth

Are you talking about the color ($17.50) or clear case ($15.00)?

I come from the Nexus 6P and used the Poetic Affinity case. It worked great for drops, till the a week ago where I was planning on getting the battery replaced and dropped the phone when I was opening the trunk of my car. It cracked the screen a bit though the shell and corner still looks brand new on the phone. So, I bought a Pixel XL as it would have cost just as much to replace the battery and glass (digitizer included, though it isn't broken) .Anyone else use the Poetic Affinity case for their Pixel XL? I'm not looking for the thinest, but something with good protection, functionality with the buttons and looks.

Is there any transparent case which won't turn yellow? Have an Orzly myself, turned yellow in couple of months. Heard Google one has the same time frame. Anything else?

UK: Just received the MNML Case I ordered from Amazon (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01NBVSFPG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Very nice fit and very thin. The packaging actually has a barcode sticker saying 'CaliCase Gogle Pixel XL... Slim Case (Clear Black)'
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] suku_patel_22:
How does it go with a tempered glass? Does it have a small lip even with the tempered glass on ?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] pemz82:
I think It will be fine with tempered glass. The edges have a tiny lip and is super thin. The case only reaches the curved edge of the screen, as far as I am aware no tempered glass actually curves around the edge so should not interfere. I have the Nillkin pro glass and it is clear of the case.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] suku_patel_22:
Thanks. Ill order one to ship over to India.

Currently using a a super thin TPU case which is 0.3 mm. I think a hard one would be better. View attachment 4302379

Ultra 0.3mm Google Pixel Case. They have Xl and non Xl and I have just seen the pixel 2 pop up too but I have no idea what they look like as there is no picture yet.

They are exactly like peel and MNML for the fraction of the price!
