Yeah, its not cheap, but I've been very happy with it so far. Perhaps speak with them about adding it to their Amazon store? http://goo.gl/W19j0D
[HTC U11  Accessories] Timewise:
Dropped my U11 in the Incipio Dual Pro last weekend on concrete from 50cms and it landed on the front after bouncing around. The case totally came through and my U11 remains undamaged.
[HTC U11  Accessories] Kisakuku:
Despite my reservations about the DualPro, it's definitely the most rugged out of practical U11 cases available at the moment (aluminum bricks don't count).

Rear Protector

I don't see the option to buy the rear Protector.
[HTC U11  Accessories] Badelhas:
Is there a true crystal clear case for the U11? One without the little dots that the TPU ones seem to always have? It can be a hard plastic or something.

Cheers
[HTC U11  Accessories] Impedance87:
Can check out the seidio clear case.
[HTC U11  Accessories] flamadiddle:
I have a crystal clear case for my Nexus 6P without the dots and I hate it. There are bubbles/weird patterns all over the back because of it. Since the U11 has a glass back, the problems would be far worse (I assume) than on my aluminum Nexus. I'm very happy with the Spigen Liquid Crystal case on my Solar Red U11. You really don't see the dots unless you look close. The case looks GREAT IMO.
[HTC U11  Accessories] Badelhas:
But you admit that it affects the way that the color shifts, correct?
[HTC U11  Accessories] anizee:
I really want to like the Spigen Liquid Crystal. It's the current case I am rocking right now. However, it stifles the colour so much (to me, at least) which is the main reason I bought the phone. I agree with the poster above that I would actually fancy a good quality 100% clear case with no dots.

Does the seidio clear case really not have any dots?
[HTC U11  Accessories] flamadiddle:
In my opinion, it doesn't affect the color anymore than any other clear case. I've tried the Lightning Knight, Seidio, TopAce, and Spigen clear cases. They all look the same to me as far as "clear-ness."

Unfortunately, I don't remember if the Seidio had the texture or not, and I didn't take any pictures of the back of my phone in it. Of the 4 clear cases I've tried though, Seidio had the least front lip to protect the screen (really none at all). I sent it back the same day I received it.

Edit:

The Seidio does have the dots. I mentioned it in my review: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73064454&postcount=191 I just forgot.
[HTC U11  Accessories] Badelhas:
I was asking if it affect the way the color shifts when compared to using no case. I also heard it makes it look pinkish.
[HTC U11  Accessories] flamadiddle:
Oh it definitely affects it. I didn't mean to say otherwise. I just think that's something that must be accepted in exchange for the protection the case provides. FWIW, I think the effect is minimal and worth the trade-off. I still see the color shift in the phone at different angles. I still find myself staring at the back of my phone all the time.

Some people have said my phone looks pink. I guess I can see that at a certain angle, but overall, it looks more orange to me.
[HTC U11  Accessories] hx3:
Just received the U11 last week, and I saw a few people talking about the FitBag. I know there are different materials you can choose from, but does it provide any protection? Or is it primarily used just to keep the front and back glass cleaned with the microfiber innards?

I'm using the Spigen crystal clear case and IQ Shield front/back protectors now, and it just adds more bulk and weight. No biggie, but I'd like to give other solutions a whirl if they offer decent to good protection. And if the FitBag really does clean fingerprints, smudges, etc, then would be great. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Edit: Also, the Liquipel Ghostguard. Has anyone used/applied it yet? If so, what are your thoughts? I'm not really digging the IQ Shield (isn't providing a very smooth surface for me and feels kind of sticky). If I go after the Ghostguard, will one package be enough for the front and back of the phone? And are there any areas of the phone I should avoid applying the liquid (ie: fingerprint sensor, etc)?
[HTC U11  Accessories] theotrman:
I use FitBag faux leather and faux suede. Offer very little drop protection. It does clean my phone very easy. Plus it's naked. Pretty careful with my phone. I like it naked because the phone is big.

I also have tried the GhostShield from Sam's Club. It applies almost like a wax. Be careful not to rub it too hard. I only covered the glass surfaces of the phone. Seems to be working okay. Id do it at night and apply as many coats as you can. No scratches so far ?. But like I said I would really in it for extreme situations.
[HTC U11  Accessories] hx3:
Yeah, I'm wanting to go naked with the U11. Largest phone I've used and it feels uncomfortable with the Spigen crystal case on, plus it takes away from the gorgeous back surface. So I was planning on using the FitBag when not in use. I figured it offered little-to-no protection. But I've owned many phones, primarily HTC, and never once had a scratch or crack (knock on wood). Very careful with my devices, as well.

So you were able to apply the Ghostguard liquid to both the front and back of the U11 with multiple coats? Just wanting to clarify, because I don't feel like buying two ?. How does the screen feel afterwards? Nice and smooth or can you tell it's the opposite? Just checking with everything before I buy it. I appreciate your help!
[HTC U11  Accessories] theotrman:
Two coats both sides. I can't tell it's there. Nice and smooth.
[HTC U11  Accessories] Kisakuku:
Love Mei case for U11
[HTC U11  Accessories] geojoking:
WOW, that is huge. Given that the U11 is already a big phone, that case really makes it a brick!
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
This does look very nice. Didn't like how the cut out looks for the usb-c connector but other than that I really like it for extreme protection. But the price. May have to consider this after I get sick of my HTC wallet case
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
incipio dualpro "droptest"..

One meter to laminate flooring accident, dropping on face. Gosh, not a scratch...

This would have been the second catastrophic fall... one of my 2 u11's back was shattered on concrete in HTC hardcover nonsense..

I did this to the HTC 10 with little issue, but now lesson learned, incipio mode on... :good:
[HTC U11  Accessories] kinubic:
May have missed ur post. I'm still in search for a case+ screen protector tht work well together
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
Incipio dualpro maroon images attached.

This is somewhat exotic color for me, so my wife's going to get this when the navy blue arrived.

Added if you are curious how it looks. I'd rather call it purpleish than brownish
[HTC U11  Accessories] namartlu:
Can someone with the Spigen liquid crystal case measure the thickness of the phone in it? I am consider the Rockspace gravity mount here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/ROC...4993962.html?spm=2114.search0302.4.187.JJEKxO and they require the thickness to be below 11mm. Thank you!
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
Seidio dilex landed and under testing.

While it's true that on its left and right its lip is mostly just in level with the screen plane.

On the top and bottom tho lips are sufficiently raised to give it a firm stand screen down on a plane surface.

If it's not falling into steps edge, but a plane it probably will withstand a drop.

On its box 1.8mtrs / 6ft drop test is written. It's with a dual layering as well as the dualpro. Looks and feels sturdy

On the corners tho it's extremely well done with rubber and holes, it's landing like a chimp.

I've tested a bit 5cm drops to see how it sounds like on the front and back.

I think it's lacking where incipio duaprol excels in the left right edge and the whole back, but the quite critical corner drop, my winner is this seidio.

The small grip where the case is a bit less wide around the squeeze area is a good idea.

The kickstand is a great feature too on this. The back looks great, the front is so so.

Here in aesthetics my choice would be with incipio with its less industrial look on the front.

Seidio fits harder to secondary eg. Leather cases because of the corners.

I think they're on level overall. Tough to decide, on paper incipio dualpro has the tougher drop test.

Will post images soon
[HTC U11  Accessories] genemark2000:
The thickest part is just about 11mm.... it's close to what you want.
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
Seidio dilex pics.

Read my previous post about how it compares..
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
And here are some sugar drop testing from around 2 cm drop, so it's just about checking how much sticks on the screen :)

For Incipio Dualpro (pic 2-3), Spigen liquid Crystal (pic 4) and Seidio Dilex (pic 5-6)

All dropped into sugar coating with some water on the lip and screen :P

As you can see all of them protects the screen very little sugar sticking on the phone except the case edges,

Seidio Dilex indeed hardly touching on the left/right side of the screen.

As soon as my devil case gets here, going to test that too... i'm waiting for its shipping from TW
[HTC U11  Accessories] Turtl3z:
I can highly recommend the case by caseology (vault series). The cutouts and everything is super precise and the buttons are still clicky enough.

As a plus its rated MIL grade drop protecting (I dont know if thats just a markting blabla)
[HTC U11  Accessories] tomkow:
Seems like Spigen Rugged one layer - poor protection case.

Wysłane z mojego HTC U11 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[HTC U11  Accessories] Krisbo:
I'm with you on this one. I've used both Spigen cases and the liquid crystal really does offer great protection. Thanks would be so much better if they used clear hard plastic on the back line the cheap eBay cases (I have one of these coming in the post).

I so want to love the case, but it's hard to considering how much it takes away from the look of my solar red U11. Mine looks pale pink which I'm not the biggest fan of.
[HTC U11  Accessories] Flinny:
I've just had an email from torrocases informing me that they now have u11 cases available... I used one on my m9 forever so I'll be ordering one.

https://www.torrocases.co.uk/collections/htc-u11
[HTC U11  Accessories] hx3:
Finally received the leather FitBag, and I love it. Perfect fit for a naked U11 when not in use. The microfiber inside cleans up the phone of any smudges and fingerprints when removing it. If you live in the US, expect a somewhat lengthy shipping process. It does seem to provide some protection, as well. Definitely recommend it if you aren't in to traditional cases and wish to use the device naked while in use.
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
I'm gonna be ordering one. It will be nice whipping out this beast nice and clean for the ladies :laugh:
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
DevilCase U11 black bumper + DevilCase U11 glass protector - with black edge and full adhesive TGP.

The case:

Pro

it is a quite sturdy and slick aluminum bumper, with inner plastic cushioning under the whole alu edge.

It has nicely clicking buttons.

Easy to assemble/disassemble, two screws hold it together..

Good, sturdy protection on flat surface drops and bumps. Done some 10/5 cm drop tests on both sides and 4 corners. on hard wooden floor, and it's fine.

Leaves the back fully visible (tho' unprotected)

Edge Sense works great, just like pressing the phone when it's naked

Con:

It halves the mobile radio signal!

I'd more happy, if on the back the bumper lip would be just like on the front, raised along all the phone's screen sides, giving good protection falling on a step's edge etc.

But on the back, only the top and bottom lips are standing out enough to keep the phone out of the surface's reach.

It's very capable to protect the phone on a flat surface, but on a bit bumpier, or on a step's edge it could end up badly.

You will need a back cover to protect the glass back from scratches in pocket. I'm still waiting for one such, in my case an iMak back cover....

Hi everyone,

I'm stuck using the included case but have been always keen on the Ringke Fusion which has great protection including port covers and a clear back without the micro dots.

We all need to message #Ringke to make their #RingkeFusion case for our U11.

Here is a link to my twitter request to them.

Please LIKE and COMMENT for them to make it!

Please comment on my tweet Take a look at [MENTION=314104]ringke[/MENTION]Official's Tweet:*https://twitter.com/GLOpro/status/880141418236215301

Images are for their HTC A9 imagine that with the U11!!!
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
This looks good. Thr link seems invalid tho which you added.
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
Warning about the devilcase Alu bumper: 2/3 or halves the mobile radio signal reception!

Damn, I thought i can settle with this stylish bumper but this is a big negative for me
[HTC U11  Accessories] GLO:
Thanks. Link fixed I think
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
Yep, I've tweeted them too separately to add more pressure :D
[HTC U11  Accessories] Kevin Shah:
A crystal clear case will be the perfect choice for your HTC U11. It will let you flaunt the real beauty of your device apart from protecting it. I will prefer you the clear case by TopACE for your device.
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Has Anyone seen the new Incipio NGP Pure on the HTC website? Wonder how crystal clear it is. http://www.htc.com/us/accessories-b/#!pid=htc-u11&acc=incipio-pure-case
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
I just ordered the TopAce, hopefully it works well with the imak front and back protectors. Didn't think of that till after I orders. I'm really enjoying my imak, would probably prefer to keep my imak front over the TopAce if it does not play nice together.
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
3 feet drop tested. Not bad but still a bit low for me at least.

Hmm, I hope Ringke fusion has a higher rating. That one seems the most promising for a transparent case if they decide to release that at all... edit: they wrote 4ft here https://www.amazon.com/Ringke-Protection-Absorption-Technology-Protective/dp/B01JKC34OC

Looks good tho. But for me spigen clear looks better. Tho Im sure what height of drop the spigen could take.

I trust my incipio dualpro 12 feet and seidio 6ft but they're not transparent.
[HTC U11  Accessories] FuriousK:
Just took a look on incipio's site:

https://www.incipio.com/cases/smart...ases/htc-u11-cases/ngp-pure-htc-u11-case.html

Appears to be frosted clear rather than crystal clear (and looking at their other NGP Pure cases for other brands, frosted seems to be the norm).

At least it's another option besides the tiny dots, I guess...
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Yeah, I don't see how they can call it "Pure" if it is frosted. "This durable case is precision engineered with a clear, shock absorbing Flex2O™ polymer material that is stretch and tear resistant. Guess we will find out soon. Might be just as good as the TopAce clear case I just ordered from Amazon for $6.99. It's getting great reviews.
[HTC U11  Accessories] sttw1fa:
When you get the Torrocase for the 11....a review and some images would be nice! I had one for the 10, and loved it (for awhile). However, one of the corners that held the 10 eventually split, and made it too loose. Looks like the design on the 11 might work better, but with the interior case holding the 11 by the four corners, I would want it to be pretty 'snug'.
[HTC U11  Accessories] indup:
between the seidio optik gel case and the spigen liquid crystal which of the two has the higher lip on the front edges?. ive tried different cases in the past and some of them have no lip on the front edges.
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Just received the TopAce. It is for sure crystal clear but offers very little protection. No lips what so ever to protect the screen. Maybe good enough to use in an inactive environment.
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
And it does have the dot matrix

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

The lip is actually a tad lower than the screen. Most Def. not good for drop protection.
[HTC U11  Accessories] Tikerz:
Would love to see a couple of pics! Thanks.
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
These are with the Imak front tgsp in the TopAce clear case
[HTC U11  Accessories] Tikerz:
Thanks, I wanted to see if the back also has the dots on the back like my Simpeak clear case and it does. Also, based on the cut outs they look like identical cases. Saved me $7, thanks!
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Yeah and I have a feeling that the only case that is gonna play nice with the imak tgsp is the wallet case and maybe the fitbag. The TopAce lifted my imak as I was removing the case, luckily it laid back down nice.

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

Dang, that one is on sale for $3 https://www.amazon.com/Simpeak-Transparent-Protector-Scratch-Resistant/dp/B072MH26SZ
[HTC U11  Accessories] Tikerz:
Both of my cases, the Caseology and Simpeak/TopAce have been fine with the Lamshaw TGSP. Maybe I just got lucky with the placement of the screen protector. It's centered perfectly within the edges of the cases so there is no pushing on any side of the protector.
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
It was fine when it was in the case, the problem was removing the case. I don't think the lamshaw is much different than the imak but I could be wrong. Might try the lamshaw once I'm done with the imak
[HTC U11  Accessories] Tikerz:
Yeah, I bet they're exactly the same if the Imak is a full adhesive TGSP like the Lamshaw.
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
It seems like it. I know there are no bad spots on the screen. But I'm not sure I just stuck it on and it has been perfect ever since.
[HTC U11  Accessories] Tumpster:
I can't get anything from Tudia on them making cases for the U11. Anyone have any luck? I really like their Merge cases and hope they make one. They produced for the 10 but not the 11, little frustrating.
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
Quick feedback on my previous review of the DevilCase... Droptest!

I'm still using it mostly for weekdays with good enough cell signal strength (devilcase weakens the radio signal).

So today I had my first 0.6m to ceramic floor tile drop test accidentally, on the corner of the phone then to the face.

The bumper's corner took the beat with a smaller dent, and the "lip" of the bumper protected the screen fully.

So the phone is intact, everything works fine and no mark on the phone...
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
I'm trying this with some raised corners at back and lips https://m.ebay.com/itm/Shockproof-C...-/112524781269?_mwBanner=1&varId=412911053535

Probably this won't work out, but I miss the raised back on the spigen

[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Ok now that is bad-ass! I am itching to order one right away Lol. Just wish it was more clear maybe. But it looks awesome.
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
If I were using my phone more outdoors, like at work I'm too much in office space... That mount at the middle is too thick probably.. Falling on that, I'm not sure it wouldn't push the case back too much. I like to put my phone into my pocket rather. If it weren't there I might have ordered it, but I'm curious for a real life review, how thick it is, how much protective
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Yeah and the reviews in this video do not look promising. Also doesn't look too squeeze friendly, the picture for the HTC U11 is probably like a mock-up or something. Looks like they are more of a startup type deal.

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

I like the magnet and carabiner keyring type deal ideal, maybe on a draw cable where if it falls it won't land.

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 PM ----------

I would be extremely happy with an ultra-clear HTC IceView case with a nice, shiny front cover to match the color of the glass back of the phone, with the back of the IceView being ultra clear. Maybe even do the front cover in all the HTC U11 color's. Maybe get a Brilliant Black front cover to make it 2 toned with my Amazing Silver back glass. With the squeeze capability made easier to use than the HTC wallet case.
[HTC U11  Accessories] oblivianz:
Currently running the Incipio Dualpro and its serving me well in terms of protection. However it's a bit bulkier than I would like it. Still having fingers crossed for UAG to support HTC U11
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
Yeah, the idea is cool, but the reviews are not good indeed. Good find. Draw cable would be fantastic for outdoors
[HTC U11  Accessories] eminc:
I am using Spigen liquid crystal case since I got the phone (about 2 months). I dropped my phone once. Nothing happened. Case is little thick but has a good protection.
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
Good!

From what height was the drop and on what surface?

Thanks
[HTC U11  Accessories] eminc:
About from waist level to the marble floor. It hit its bottom first then directly to screen. But case protects the screen from touching to ground.
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Get my Black FitBag tomorrow. Leather on one side suede on the other I think. I already peeled off my Imak back cover, I have another to install but I have a feeling it will not be much better. Gonna go for the Skinomi I think as it works beautifully with my HTC 10. May check out the PhantomSkinz back or may try the Ghostguard. I just don't like the fact that if the Ghostguard gets scratched, how will we know it is just the Ghostguard and not the actual screen? That would drive me batty Lmao. I'm assuming it isn't really scratchproof.
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
So after a month or so, my feedback, with devilcase in use as well, a little bit of retrospect:

- Incipio DualPro:

Pro: very durable, highest 12ft droptest certified, very good lips on the front. Looks normal

Con: hard to press the squeeze gesture. Covers most of the device beauty

- Seidio Dilex:

Pro: durable, 6ft droptest certified, easy to press the squeeze gesture, built in kickstand. The corners have a very elastic bumper plastic

Con: it has a bit of lip on front, but not on the left/right edges, a bit "ugly" at the corners. Covers most of the device beauty

- DevilCase

Pro: leaves the back beauty shine. It's very durable for drop on straight surface, with internal padding in the metal frame. Easy to press the squeeze gesture

Con: covers radio and GPS signal. It does not protect the back at all from edged/pointed object bumps

I still rotate all of them tho, they are all very good quality and ranging from good to very good protection
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
Decided to try this armor-x with a tripod and armband combo in the end.

With share discount it's all 52$ with free shipping over 50.

I'm a bit worried about quality, but let's see how this works out.
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Awesome, I do like that one especially for extreme conditions. I think it would be good to have some kind of retractable cable on it in case it falls.

---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

I'm gonna try this clear imak case, you can attach a lanyard to it and they claim it comes with an explosion proof screen protector. It has a lot of high reviews but not counting on it to be much better then the clear tpu I already have. If it has lips to protect a front face fall it will be better. https://m.nl.aliexpress.com/s/item/...m=a2g0s.13010208.99999999.270.YX8Set#autostay
