I feel the Tudia Carbon Fiber Design Lightweight case and overall I am very happy with it. It is a black case with a small amount of carbon fiber pattern on the rear of the case around the cameras and on the lower part of the case. The case fits very well and has a very small lip around the screen so it wraps around the sides nicely. The buttons are all responsive and I really like the finger print cutout at is make finding the finger print reader far quicker and easier. The vertical sides make it far easier to grip this phone.

Not sure I would need the 2 piece case, but it might offer a bit more security.

I guess the only issue is if I ever choose to use any of the accessories that attach to the phone I will need to remove the case or buy one with the cutout for accessories.

Get the Tudia TAMM case for 55% off on Amazon with coupon code. Ends up being $5.80 shipped.

I guess this guy must know someone at Tudia to get a code in his name. Pretty cool! It's good until 11/30.

That's not yet released. It's listed on Amazon as well. If you're really paranoid and need a case to use with the 360 camera then it's the only game in town but it obviously only works with the 360 camera. Doubt it'll work with any other future mods including their dock. That is a very specialized case. Of course you can use it as an everyday case, just be sure to use a skin for the back. ;)
[Essential Phone Accessories] deanjen@gmail.com:
I actually purchased TUDIA case from eBay and have received it...the one with cut-off portion for 2-pins.

Black on Black(my phone's color) looks fine, although I'd still prefer a fully covered one.

Material is matte rubber surface. I'd prefer sandstone/gravel type but this performs well enough for grip.
[Essential Phone Accessories] deanjen:
Here are some images. The case actually fits rather tightly to the phone. I have to take off the already-applied Skinomi frame and back (front is ok) film in order to fit it into the case. Edges around front glass are slightly raised up. This case still doesn't offer the same level of grip of my other sandstone/gravel cases, but matte rubber definitely offers much more resistance than bare phone. Buttons are covered by the case, but for me the volume-up button isn't as responsive as before. Power button is slightly less responsive but still acceptable. Volume-down button has a nice click.
[Essential Phone Accessories] ThaqAtaq313:
Possible to get a picture of the front deanjen :o
[Essential Phone Accessories] deanjen@gmail.com:
Will do that when I get back home tonight. Honestly, at this point I'll keep both Essential PH-1 and iPhone X...Note 8 and Pixel 2 XL are just too big for me.
[Essential Phone Accessories] mimin0:
Were you able to use that code? Bunch of commenters say it doesn't work, and it didn't work for me either.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Tikerz:
Yeah, it was working when I ordered it on 11/1. I just tried it now and it's not working. Maybe it was limited to a certain number of uses?
[Essential Phone Accessories] deanjen:
Here you go.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Tikerz:
Nice! Definitely reminds me of the Ringke Slim cases.
[Essential Phone Accessories] deanjen:
Yup, surface material is definitely similar to Ringke slim series...matte and rubber-like.

Still, I'd prefer sandstone/gravel type of feel like MSVII / Bear Motion style. Too bad...

Buttons are still slightly stiff and unresponsive. Hopefully it'll be better with more tortures...I mean, presses.
[Essential Phone Accessories] dkotoric:
That case looks nice, injust wish they made the same case without the 360 camera cutout
[Essential Phone Accessories] dee dub:
A couple of new cases on Amazon

the cheap TPU type but more options none the less

Going to order the black one just because its cheap and would like a case which is as thin as possible and I like exposed buttons

[Essential Phone Accessories] xela19115:
I bought 2 exact cases like Olycism sells on Amazon, black and opaque white, from Taobao. It took a month to get them. They do not properly fit the phone, they are about 2-3 mm too narrow and there is no notch cut-out on the top front to expose speaker grill.
[Essential Phone Accessories] balane:
I've heard this complaint about them before, that they cover up the speaker grill entirely and also that the camera hole doesn't line up very well.
[Essential Phone Accessories] xela19115:
The opening for the camera on the back is not correctly aligned either and partially covers one of the lenses.
[Essential Phone Accessories] SimpTheChimp:
Are you talking about the Olycism Clear TPU case? I was thinking about ordering that because I like the recessed openings for the side buttons, rather than having them covered.
[Essential Phone Accessories] xela19115:
Yes, the Olycism case. The holes for the camera on the back do not align with camera correctly. There is also no "notch" on the front for the speaker and LED. The case covers the speaker grill and the LED.
[Essential Phone Accessories] SimpTheChimp:
Ugh, OK I'll cross that one off as well. Any other cases that you know of that work well but have open holes for the power/volume buttons?
[Essential Phone Accessories] xela19115:
Not that I know of.
[Essential Phone Accessories] ampink7756:
Thanks for the post!

Thank you so much for posting this link because I have had a very hard time finding case for my phone... Although this case doesn't come out until November 24th or at least is not available until then, I'm definitely getting it because it is really a cool case...

Thank you once again,

Tudia comes through again with a new case

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077JGGL16/

Looks like a basic TPU case that has grip on the side but cheaper than other options. There's also 15% off any Tudia case (Black Friday sale) right now.
[Essential Phone Accessories] stinger4321:
Fyi.. Incipio cases are 50% off with free shipping.. ordered the dualpro for 15$

[Essential Phone Accessories] balane:
I have an Incipio smoke case I installed once and never used again. $10 for shipping, gas and packaging if anybody wants it. I just like the tudia one better. If this is against the rules let me know and I'll delete it. Not trying to make money, just passing along something I'm not using.
[Essential Phone Accessories] cz9h3d:
The downside to have so few options is that I'm purchasing each one as it's released!

I need to send my Incipio back, too. Not as good as my Tudia. I'm hoping Tudia's forthcoming clear case is better.
[Essential Phone Accessories] KevinBrr:
Has anyone tried the Feitenn PU Flip cases from Amazon?

I have a cheap red Tisuns one with my current phone, and I've grown rather used to it.

Can't decided wich colour feitenn to try.... Their red looks really really pink. Might try grey.

[Essential Phone Accessories] Murbert:
This case is perfect for me. I don't tend to drop phones much and I don't want a bulky case.
[Essential Phone Accessories] DaveHTC200:
The precision cut outs leave something to the imagination! Looks like a Stanley knife job :D

So does this mean the case back is glass!?! I might need a case for my case, no? ?

Amazon just indicated my white version has shipped, but I think it's coming from overseas.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077JGGL16/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I like clear tpu style cases to keep the phone as thin as possible, and not hide any of the look :)
[Essential Phone Accessories] ryocho:
I ordered this as well. FYI you might want to check your tracking info as mine is coming from China
[Essential Phone Accessories] kbonnel:
Mine is a USPS tracking number, and doesn't indicate yet where it is coming from, so it could very well be China.

UPDATE: I just got notification that my package arrived at USPS in Saint Paul MN. So, hopefully I will have it in a couple of days.
[Essential Phone Accessories] blackice000:
Hey All, I received the TUDIA case this morning. Not all that impressed. It's just another TVB plastic skin. What i want is like the one I had for my RAZR M. It was a gel skin (sides and Back) that had a hard plastic back that "clamped on" over the gel. Worked GREAT. Also added a small lip around the screen bezel so a face down fall wouldn't be terminal. You could also place the phone face down for calls and never touch the screen at all.

Odd that they aren't available yet as there are thousands around for every conceivable other phone.

[Essential Phone Accessories] dee dub:
I did receive this case a little over a week ago and has already been mentioned, it's pretty much garbage.

Not even worth the time to post pics.

I had it on the phone for less than a minute.

Cut outs didn't line up well, case felt too small/tight, ultra cheap feel.

The cut out for the fingerprint scanner wasn't even smooth.

I immediately requested a refund/return and it was applied next day.
[Essential Phone Accessories] gqukyo:
At least you can get the Ocean Green back... Lol
[Essential Phone Accessories] stinger4321:
Just tried the incipio dualpro.. really slick feeling in hand.. more worried about dropping then having the phone naked..the buttons through the tpu plastic are really hard to press.. also cut out in back for finger print is huge like for an iphone logo.. makes it hard to place my finger as quickly as in the tudia carbon. wish i bought this though amazon.. probably return since i accidentally bought 2 of them . I'm sure i will have to pay for shipping back to incipio
[Essential Phone Accessories] eKeith:
That's unfortunate; was hoping the DualPro was going to be the ideal case...
[Essential Phone Accessories] zhuanyi:
I am interested in buying this one actually...how is it going for you with the case?
[Essential Phone Accessories] kbonnel:
I am scheduled to get this case tomorrow, so I will definitely report back with some pictures. I expect it too be similar to the TAMM, but maybe a little thinner. ( I got the clear one. )
[Essential Phone Accessories] ryocho:
Got mine today, here's a few pics. It's pretty basic TPU case, which is exactly what I wanted. There're ridges on the sides so it provides better grip on the phone. All the cutouts line up perfectly. Overall I like the case. If you are looking for a basic clear TPU case I think this is it.
[Essential Phone Accessories] balane:
So this Tudia Minimalist case seems to be extremely close to the Incipio case, possibly identical even. I have the Incipio here but not the Tudia and, looking at your photos of the Tudia, I can discern no differences.
[Essential Phone Accessories] eKeith:
How do the buttons feel?
[Essential Phone Accessories] Procrustinator:
Well, I think I've finally found a case I'm (at least relatively) happy with...https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077VSR6FX/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Essential Phone Accessories] ryocho:
I don't have the Incipio case, but it looks more bulky in the pictures. This is also half the price.

Very clicky, the buttons feel good
[Essential Phone Accessories] illuminerdi:
I own one of these for my PH-1.

It's decent, but nothing to write home about. Definitely makes the phone feel like any other phone, and kills the "bezel-less" screen effect since this in essence adds bezel around the screen, but such is the price of having a phone in a case so that it doesn't explode the second it gets dropped.

Overall the case is well made - I like the textured sides the fingerprint sensor is very easy to access and the case does NOT impede my ability to quickly and accurately fingerprint, but my hands/fingers are slim-to-average size, so YMMV there. It's a decently large cutout for the fingerprint reader so I doubt most people will have trouble.

The buttons are still incredibly snappy even with the case on, it does not make them squishy or mushy, so kudos to Tudia for that.

Overall I am pleased with the case for the price, but it's a bit generic looking overall. Still, it's one of only like 3 cases in existence for this phone, so beggars can't be choosers...
[Essential Phone Accessories] kbonnel:
I got the new TUDIA Lightweight Minimalist case, and I like it. here are some photos.

I like the "bumps" on the side of the case better than on the TAMM case., they are more pronounced and add more grip for me. It is just a hair thinner than the TAMM case, but I don't think one would really notice. The cutouts are perfect. The volume buttons feel really nice, but the power button feels better on the TAMM case.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Bwangster12:
I was looking at this one too... anymore pics? Does it add a lot of bulk? Did you just get the case or the option for the screen protector for 2 bucks extra?
[Essential Phone Accessories] Procrustinator:
I'll try to get some more pictures over the weekend. It adds a little bulk, but I wouldn't consider it a lot. I did not go with the screen protector (I didn't even see that option).
[Essential Phone Accessories] cz9h3d:
I have both the Incipio and Tudia clear TPU cases. The Tudia has higher screen lip, not quit as raised as their original case I started with, but enough so that there is some lip and hope for survival after a drop.

The Incipio clear TPU has a smaller lip, hardly above my tempered glass screen protector. Still in the box, never to be used.

I also received my Tudia tempered glass back case. It's similar to their clear TPU in lip height, adequate, but slightly lower than their original. It looks fine, but their clear TPU will be my daily driver.
[Essential Phone Accessories] imna357:
Hi, are you using any screen or tampered protector with the case? Thanks:good:
[Essential Phone Accessories] jeezfeas57:
I picked up the Tudia Tamm case to use till the Incipia Dual-Pro was back in stock. Only issue with the Incipia is the rubber is stiff and takes a good prress on the buttons, but the edges protrude out more and protect the screen better tham the Tudia. I got the J&D screen protectors When I used the wet wipes to clean the screen, instead of drying the screen, I immediately pulled the backing off the screen protector, lined it up and dropped it on, No dust and it adhered perfectly.
[Essential Phone Accessories] ryocho:
Not using any screen protector
[Essential Phone Accessories] leenukes:
I got the Tudia Low Profile case. I use the 360 camera and didn't want to constantly be taking the case on and off.

[Essential Phone Accessories] maaneeack:
Anyone tried https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077VS931S? I've got some in my cart for my new phones, I have two people that are prone to dropping so an otterbox or unicorn beetle type case would be best, this is the best I came across.
[Essential Phone Accessories] seabro01:
I had that case for about a week. Had to return it due to issues with tempered glass and wet install screen protectors. Also didn't like the weird texture on the outer shell. Now I'm using the slim case by Beauty Case on Amazon which looks and feels much better while also not interfering with screen protector. Should provide decent protection for a relatively slim case. Check out the Incipio Dual Pro case if you want more protection. I've had them on other devices. Very high quality and drop tested at 12 feet.
[Essential Phone Accessories] maaneeack:
Was it just the texture and screen protector that you didn't like? They have versions without the screen protector, which is the version I'm going for. I'll look at the incipio case some more, it might be the better option for one of them.
[Essential Phone Accessories] seabro01:
I just had the case without the screen protector. Didn't like the texture and how it doesn't work well with different screen protectors I purchased. The Incipio Dual Pro is more expensive but probably worth it since we can't replace the screen without sending the phone to Essential.
[Essential Phone Accessories] kakabobo:
the tudia skn case is a fingerprint magnet.

hope they revise to matte version.
[Essential Phone Accessories] gqukyo:
As ugly as the Tudia TAMM case is it's been growing on my and I'm liking it now. Using it without a screen protector.
[Essential Phone Accessories] tech_head:
Yeah, I have the black one.

It's okay. I would really like a Poetic Affinity like I have on my LG G6 and my work iPhone 6s.
[Essential Phone Accessories] gqukyo:
The Poetic Affinity is one of my fave cases. Using one on both my iPhone 7 and S8. And have one of my PXL collecting dust in the drawer lol
[Essential Phone Accessories] bavarianblessed:
Anyone tried this one yet?

Looks a touch gimmicky

This one is new as well although it looks to be a basic TPU case.

So far this one is my favorite. It actually has a decent lip around the front that won't flex if dropped.
[Essential Phone Accessories] tech_head:
The last one looks interesting. I have the Tudia case right now.

I really would like something like the Poetic Affinity with a polycarbonate back.
[Essential Phone Accessories] gqukyo:
The first one, those cases are heavy. Those are bootlegs of the Lunatic cases. The second one doesn't even have the correct photos on Amazon. Lol
[Essential Phone Accessories] doublej1980:
Poetic has the guardian case that looks pretty sweet. Maybe a bit big for my liking though.
[Essential Phone Accessories] gqukyo:
I don't really use my essential for calls but for the Poetic guardian case, that little pathetic excuse of a cutout for the earpiece would probably muffle the volume a lot.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Jank4AU:
Has anyone tried the Poetic Guardian with this phone yet? Just curious if the built-in screen protector deprecates touch sensitivity. I can't find any reviews on it. My phone will hopefully be here Monday. It's coming with a Tudia case but I wanted to look around and have a screen protector and maybe a fall-back case on hand before it arrives. I know it's impossible to repair this device so I'm definitely going the heavy protection route out of an abundance of caution.
[Essential Phone Accessories] gqukyo:
Should check out other reviews for the same model for other phones. Should be similar for the most part. The side sensitivity may be affected due to how our phones are.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I asked this question in Pure Fusion thread and got no help. Maybe I'll have better luck here. My phone carrier is MintSim which uses the T-Mobile network but has its own APN settings. On OOS I have a fantastic phone signal. On Pure Fusion I have almost no phone signal. I can't use the network settings from OOS because they do not exist on Pure Fusion. PF ported the network settings with no modifications from the Nexus version of the ROM. There are even two separate network settings for CDMA networks. OOS includes no CDMA settings because the OP5 is a GSM phone.

I'm curious if anyone who is a MintSim customer was able to successfully use Pure Fusion and if you did how? Or did someone on a different carrier have a problem with their phone signal on that ROM and figure out a way to get it to work?

I would like to try Pure Fusion because it's generally very highly recommended but I've clean flashed three different builds of that ROM and couldn't get a halfway decent phone signal once.

Can anyone help or for that matter explain why Pure Fusion is using network settings that are meant for a completely different phone? Are you supposed to use a different radio with that ROM? Is there a mod or program that helps?
