[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] P650SE:
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.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] P650SE:
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. ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] RobboW:
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.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] joaste:
Hi there,

Does this case provide good grip?

Thanks for confirming!
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Sui77:
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
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] joaste:
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.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Sui77:
This one is a different story.

It's the best pick you can get
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] joaste:
Thanks. Just ordered it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] P650SE:
Hey, have you received the case yet? Just wondering what you thought to it. If either you or [MENTION=3076766]Sui77[/MENTION] 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. :confused: 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.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] joaste:
Yes I did. Or is ok, but not as grippy as I was hoping for. The original case provides more grip.

Some pics attached.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] P650SE:
Thanks for posting those pictures! :D 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.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] christoophat:
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.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] P650SE:
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. :(
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] RobboW:
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.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] emepher:
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.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] christoophat:
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:
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] RobboW:
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 .

R&D ? Marketing?
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
In last meet up group.

We conveyed the message in meetup. Naveen from their business team(was part of RnD as well for long time since android evolved) and Khushboo from marketing strategy team.

Are you referring anyone else?
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] amulbaby:
Few others were supposed to turn up for Delhi meet, I guess they couldn't due to the rains.

R&D core team has been active in gathering logs though some 8 pro users.

Was referring to that.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Oh ok. Different ppl different roles. But yeah Navin was part of R&D for much time. Part of Huawei for 17 years:confused:

Just that we need support from OEM and Dev to make it best as possible. Hope they release firmware n kernel sources. Else it's a big let down.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jappuknees:
4 days ago my phone just went off when I was listening to music, I thought it was low on battery, so I went out to charge it. Left it charging for 20 minutes and it didn't boot anymore.

Things I did:

• Reflashed to the stock ROM (My phone had a custom ROM, MIUI 8.)

• Wiping Dalvik/ART cache (Tried on different recoveries but CTR managed to wipe it)

• Changing to numerous recoveries (CTR, PTR, TWRP)

• Factory resetting

• Formatting my phone then reflashing the stock ROM.

• Installing a custom ROM (Sadly it says "installation aborted")

I also noticed my recoveries has been experiencing this:

E: Failed closing /dev/misc

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Failed closing /dev/misc

So basically my phone is soft-bricked, and I don't know any more solutions to this problem, I know there's still other solutions I didn't cover and try.
