[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] tdssmarty16:
Guys how is the oxygen os 5.1.5 update in terms of battery life and performance ?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Entwicklung:
Not much difference.

GPU performance is higher than before according to ANTUTU
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] TechOut:
Seems to be fine but it takes away the always on display. You can still raise the phone for it but it removes the option to keep it on all the time.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] tdssmarty16:
I think the battery performance has taken a hit

Plz can someone confirm this ?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] tdssmarty16:
The display also seems a bit more yellowish now

Is there a method to downgrade to oos 5.1.0
[HTC U12+ Accessories] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Greetings everybody,

so after I pre-ordered my HTC U12+ Translucent Blue, and am currently waiting for a review unit, I started ordering some cases to compare and see which one I'll go with on my all new HTC U12+. I dicided to share my first orders, and to review them as they arrive, updating this thread accordingly.

What I ordered:

QULLOO Clear - Shock absorbing TPU Case

MEINOUXU Slim Rubber Frosted Matte Plastic - Hard Case

What contributers ordered:

Poetic Carbon Shield by [MENTION=6493555]jrocka312[/MENTION]

Moonmini PU Leather Case by [MENTION=3088420]tbalden[/MENTION]

Tudia Slim Fit EXTREME by [MENTION=5401118]MrN1484[/MENTION]

mumbi TPU Frosted Case by [MENTION=9259550]SuperFredF[/MENTION]

I will add to this list, as either I'm getting new cases, or you are adding new ones with your own reviews. For the later case, I'll post a linkt to your post in the OP, and add it to the list.

Now have fun reading and participating at this thread.

1) [QULLOO] Crystal Clear - Shock absorbing TPU Case

In the low-budget segment there are, as usual, a large number of cases. I usually use one until I receive my higher quality, pre-ordered cases - like something from Spigen. The QULLOO TPU Softcase differs significantly from the Spigen Liquid Crystal Case. Although this case also comes with a so-called Dottet Buffer surface on the inside, instead of the air cushions in the Spigen Case, it has clear thickening at the corners, and a matt reinforcement in the area of the Edge Sense 2.0 sensors.

View attachment 4522156​

In the test, however, the matt reinforcement was quite a hindrance. If the U12+ recognizes the short squeeze, as well as the squeeze and hold action correctly, there were always problems with the double tap action, because it was not recognized right away.

Test result: good (2)

2) KingShark Transparent TPU Case

Another case in the low-budget segment is the KingShark Transparent TPU Case. It is significantly thinner than the cases of QULLOO, or spigen, but also comes in a so-called dottet buffer surface inside. This prevents, as in the case of the Spigen Liquid Crystal Case, unsightly blistering and/or staining between the smooth surface of the HTC U12+ and the case as such.

View attachment 4522157​

Furthermore, it does not possess "Air Cushion Technology"

Test result: good (2)
[HTC U12+ Accessories] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
1) [HTC] Transparent - Hard Case

Review in the works.

2) [MEINUOXU] Slim Rubber Frosted Matte Plastic - Hard Cover

As with TPU cases, there is an almost endless selection in the low-budget segment of hard cases - especially on portals like AliExpress. In order to have an alternative, and thus independent comparison possibility, to the supplied HTC Crystal Clear Hardcase, I also ordered some cases via AliExpress in this case - since each one only cost about 0,80 €. The cases have a decisive disadvantage compared to the HTC hardcase: they lack the necessary cut-outs in the area of the edge sense sensors. Furthermore, the cutouts for the volume buttons and the power button do not match the positions on the frame of the HTC U12+.

View attachment 4514813​

A test was not necessary due to the shortcomings mentioned above.

Test result: insufficient (6)
[HTC U12+ Accessories] jal3223:
I'm really curious about how much attention case and screen protector companies give the U12+ due to HTC's decreased popularity.

Does anyone know if the screen has a curve to it at all? I'm real worried we will be in another situation that you can't find a decent tempered glass. I guess that's for another thread though.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] Electronic Punk:
No official accessories?
[HTC U12+ Accessories] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
No official accessories I know of at least. Well there is one of course: the clear hard case coming in the box! Will add this right away.

Glad there are one or two Spigen TPU cases upcoming, as I really love to have those on my phones.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] mouzaihem:
I will be buying both spigen cases. Let ya'll know what I think when I can. I hope incipio decides to make a 2 or so cases for us.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
OP update.

Added first impressions to the cases that I already received. This OP will for sure be a WIP - Work in Progress - until my U12+ has been in use for at least 1 - 2 months.

Greetings

The glass appears to be entirely flat until the edges, until it forms an M9-esque 90 degree bend and goes into the aluminum body. Think as if the entire front portion of the M9 were glass.

At least, that's what I'm getting out of the pictures that have come out so far.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Yes absolutely flat to the edges.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
OP update.

Added the first test results. More will follow for sure!
[HTC U12+ Accessories] tbalden:
I'm finally going to get this one https://www.amazon.de/Moonmini-Rück...UTF8&qid=1528978613&sr=1-14&keywords=u12+plus

This looks like good protection and somewhat I like its leather style.

I'll get a transparent one on the longer run, once the bigger names start to ship them.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Great choice when it come to design. Looking at the matt black one since a few days. Still didn't order it. Seems a little bit flexible at the sides which would be positive for Edge Sense and double tap I guess.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] gerzii:
For my HTc 10 i was using this Case:

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01IW3OH82...olid=2BBLC2HN0SPDW&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

i am searching something similar for the HTC U12+, but didnt found something yet.

U have any suggestions or tipps for me?
[HTC U12+ Accessories] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Not yet. But such a case might be a problem when it comes to Edge Sense and its usability. Thus I went with TPU crystal clear cases, which IMHO did a good job in protecting my U11 and still keep the Edge Sense sensors working.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] Iscandelt:
Original HTC case for U12+ appeared on HTCs HK website. Maybe someone can order and send to EU? :D
[HTC U12+ Accessories] gerzii:
i want also one :)

btw: why cant we order it directly?
[HTC U12+ Accessories] Iscandelt:
I've got same question man... I don't understand HTC's sales policy sometimes....
[HTC U12+ Accessories] jrocka312:
I just ordered the Poetic Karbon Shield. Should receive both the case and phone tomorrow. Will update with my thoughts. https://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Karbon-Shield-Absorbing-Texture/dp/B07C6YW9CT/ref=sr_1_1_sspa/145-2051360-8800628?ie=UTF8&qid=1530103836&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=poetic+htc+u12&psc=1

Sorry for the delay. I have been using the Poetic Karbon Shield for 10 days now and I have to say it is great! It does not inhibit Edge Sense from working and does not have any negative impact on the haptic buttons for power and volume. The case does have a nice lip around the entire screen to protect it when face down. There is an ample amount of buffer between the case and camera as well. The texture on the back and sides is not slippery and allows for a nice grip when holding the phone. The cutouts are all perfect. The case most definitely gives me more confidence than then included OEM case. It does not make the phone that much more bulky. I really like this case!

My opinions so far:

Poetic Karbon Shield : 8

Ringke FUSION-X: 9

HTC OEM Case: 4
[HTC U12+ Accessories] bigAL99:
I see the spilgen case is now in stock the Spilgens own site, so hopefully will be on Amazon uk soon
[HTC U12+ Accessories] OGhoul:
I ordered Spigen's Crystal Shell and two glass screen protectors before I even ordered the phone. The screen protectors have been in my hands for almost a month, yet the Crystal Shell still says it'll be delivered by July 30th, lol.

Guess I'll be using that HTC case for a bit.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] MrN1484:
Fwiw I've ordered and just received this https://www.amazon.co.uk/TUDIA-Slim-Fit-EXTREME-Protection-Rugged/dp/B07DGNLLK8/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1530198487&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=Tudia+htc+u12&dpPl=1&dpID=41mxCShV6YL&ref=plSrch Tudia slim case, which is a good fit and the cut outs are all in right place. Shame it covers the blue finish but it's a damn sight less slippery than the included case.

And this Pulen glass screen protector.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/PULEN-Protective-Anti-Bubble-Bubble-free-Anti-Fingerprint/dp/B07D2B3NDL/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1530198778&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=PULEN+Premium+Quality+Tempered+Glass+Protective+Film+0.33mm+Anti-Bubble+Shield+9H+Hardness+Clear+Scratch+Resist+Bubble-free+Anti-Fingerprint+for+HTC+U12%2B+%28Plus%29&dpPl=1&dpID=51MutsQGyGL&ref=plSrch

There seems to be a random cut out to the right hand side top and it covers the selfie cameras which I don't know is a good thing or not but the application was fine and the screen is still responsive.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] OGhoul:
Generally speaking, if the screen protector is of decent quality, the camera(s) won't be affected. Can you take pics of the fit of your screen protector? I'm looking for a full coverage style like this, but it's gotta actually cover the entire screen, lol.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] MrN1484:
Taking a picture of a reflective screen is trickier than I thought! Pictures attached.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] OGhoul:
Unfortunately that's what I feared, that it'd be not as wide as the screen itself. (the first pic seems to show that it's edge is on the screen, not the bezel.

Thank you for the pics, they are very much appreciated.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] mdpgc:
I'm waiting on Xtremeguard to put out their tempered glass for the U12+...hopefully it's soon

I'm also waiting on Seidio to put out their cases, but in the mean time in between time I got the Poetic Karbon case.

The Poetic Karbon case is a little slippery for my taste, it fits the case well and the edge sense works with the case on the phone.... but it'll due until more reputable brands put out their cases.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] MrN1484:
Correct, it's not 100% coverage but for me it's better than nothing.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] AtAM1:
I ordered the Poetic Karbon case from Amazon and should be receiving it tomorrow. I also pre-ordered both spigen cases as I trust them more to get things right from the get-go. Will share my feedback on the Poetic case soon.

Also, it appears more cases were added to Amazon today
[HTC U12+ Accessories] agsotinov:
Hi Everyone, do these covers affect edge sense?
[HTC U12+ Accessories] Jump1ng:
I'm really looking forward to the Spigen clear TPU case I had it on my U11 and it was great. Doesn't look like it is shipping yet even in the USA.

Can't find it on Amazon UK and the .com link doesn't ship to UK so really hope it will be available in the UK shortly after the US release.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] TNPaparazzi:
I ordered the black Spigen Rugged Armor case with the carbon fiber design on the top and bottom of the back.. Absolutely amazing case, I had the same case for my M8, 10, and U11.. At 13 bucks, it's not a bad price, however I paid a little less for it on all of the other phones.. IDK why, ever since the U11, I've been trying to steer clear of the clear cases, they always seem to smudge and get nasty after a day for me. Spigen always makes a good product
[HTC U12+ Accessories] AtAM1:
Quick update - the Poetic Karbon case arrived and it fits perfectly, adds no additional bulk to the phone and all microphone holes are exposed. The back of the case has a nice feel/grip/look to it and edge sense including the volume and power buttons work well.

I'll update my post with photos when I reach home.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] bigAL99:
Have messaged Spilgen UK and they don't know when they will get stock but advised to keep an eye on Amazon as apparently they will get stock first. :rolleyes:
[HTC U12+ Accessories] Jump1ng:
Cool thanks, hopefully it will be on Amazon UK as well as the US site.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] SuperFredF:
I have received today the soft case "Mumbi TPU case transparent white": frosted white on the back and transparent on the borders.

It fits very well and the cut-outs are perfect.

However, the case is not very slim and prevents the EdgeSense "double tap" to work smoothly... you need to tap much harder. All other EdgeSense actions are perfectly OK.

So I have ordered the Mumbi "ultra slim (0.7 mm)" and full transparent soft case, to be available next 13/07.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] Tartanpanther:
Avoid the Kingshark wallet case from amazon.

I bought one & the cutouts for power & volume did not line up with the buttons, the power up was 3/4 covered. Squeeze function is impossible. To use power I had to pull the cover away from the phone & slip my finger in between. Reviews have not been published/removed on Amazon. I have used my dremel to modify it so that I have some protection until the Spigen ones are available.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Updates the OP with links to all posts regarding another case than the ones I got.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] LibertyMonger:
I received this case today and I really like it. It's ultra clear and feels great. All buttons and edge sense work flawlessly and the sides are textured in the areas of edge sense. The lip around the bezel is really nice, much better than the clear cases I used on my U11. The corner bumpers are really nice, I think this case will give good protection. It seems to make the fingerprint sensor easier to find and use as well.

Edit... I forgot to mention, double tap on the sides works well with this case also.

Thanks

looks a great case, have ordered one to ship here to the UK as I have got fed up waiting for Spilgen to sort their lives out.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Fun fact: that's the same case I got from QULLOO :)
[HTC U12+ Accessories] tbalden:
So moonmini using it for one week and some more.

It's indeed leather glued on the plastic case with some adorning stitches. Looks and feels great with this addition, doesn't feel like it will slip easily from the hand.

The side and top/bottom is cut off. It is quite similar to the htc case shipped with the phone, but slightly less lip on front, so my tgsp touches the table. The case can be easily slapped or removed, a bit too easy for my taste.

I'm keeping it as an elegant case, looks good for my subjectivity, but it's not a tough case for drops, maybe for smaller ones would be ok, I had one already survived.

I can recommend it, especially if using a plastic film screen protection, the lips would be enough to keep it off the table level.

In order this one also from ringke, hopefully it'll get here soon :)

Got these today:

https://www.mobilefun.co.uk/olixar-exoshield-tough-snap-on-htc-u12-plus-case-clear-67909

Got the tan one on today (just fancied something other than black)

Sadly it doesn't seem to support the wake on open function I know the phone has.

But holiday next week and I needed something a little more than the plastic thing in the box.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] tbalden:
How's the exoshield doing edge sense and buttons?
[HTC U12+ Accessories] Electronic Punk:
They work fine through the case which isn't sold plastic but slightly rubbery, presumably with some adjustments having to be made to pressure. It does not have any cut outs.

Actually suits me fine as the power buttons and volume respond perfectly, Edge Sense a bit less so, but it does recognise it is being held and prevent rotation.

But then years of typing have just made me awful as squeezing!

It is a finger print magnet tho :)
[HTC U12+ Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Yeah it seems it is being sold under different names, I think I also saw this case on AliExpress.

I noticed you say double tap doesn't work very well for you. I guess it takes a little practice, I found it is like making 2, short long squeezes to make it work. Like two slightly hard presses.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] spikeydoo2006:
Just ordered the same case from Amazon for £9.99. Should be here tomorrow :) hopefully.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] tbalden:
You gonna have it sooner. I have ordered it from us to eu, don't know how delivery time will pan out [emoji28]

Currently shows no updates
[HTC U12+ Accessories] OGhoul:
I ordered mine a full month ago. Still waiting and ended up buying one of these in the interim. It's not a bad case, though I prefer it when a case sticks to the device's original shape:

[HTC U12+ Accessories] tdwpkidd:
Reviews on wallet cases aren't looking too good(slim pickings to begin with). I bought this case by 32ndShop and the button cuttouts were incorrect. Also after a couple of weeks of use the casing that actually holds the phone seems to be cracking. It's a shame because the leather wallet part of the case is well made.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Here is one I saw that his supposed to have the magnetic closure. I saw it on Amazon also may be cheaper but it looks like the HTC U11 OEM case

https://www.ebay.com/p/HTC-U12-Plus...-Magnetic-Closure-Card-Slot-Black/17020065545
[HTC U12+ Accessories] Electronic Punk:
Well don't forget, magnetic closure is where it has a clasp and that snaps shut, very different to the magnet that wakes the screen and sends it to sleep!

Not seen one of those yet but know the U12 could support it as it goes to sleep and wakes up as I move it around my ipad air case :D
[HTC U12+ Accessories] LibertyMonger:
That does not seem to be what this is judging from the pic, it looks very similar to the OEM HTC wallet case for the U11. The magnet appears to be in the same spot to wake the screen. But I wouldn't know without any real reviews.

***EDIT You seem to be correct, this is the same case and it mentions nothing about magnetic closure with a bad review.

[HTC U12+ Accessories] Electronic Punk:
Shame! But do keep me posted if you see one.

I know it doesnt play nice with the always on clock display (from playing with it on the u11) but if I had to pick one or the other!
[HTC U12+ Accessories] tdwpkidd:
That was my review. The plastic part of the case holding the phone is breaking apart I'll post some pictures soon
[HTC U12+ Accessories] LibertyMonger:
I do believe I could take the plastic case that is included in the box of the U12+ and glue it onto the OEM HTC wallet case that was made for the U11 and it would work just fine.

---------- Post added at 07:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 AM ----------

So did opening the wallet case activate the screen?
[HTC U12+ Accessories] tdwpkidd:
It seems to activate the always on display quicker than without it.

I might try to glue the OEM case as well. For now I ordered these two cases

If I can't find a good wallet case I'll just go back to carrying a regular wallet again. Having a case that fits right and protects the phone is more important.

I'm surprised that it's been this difficult to get decent cases, I bought the 10 a couple of weeks after it's release and found plenty of options then.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] OGhoul:
My Spigen was delivered today. I'll post thoughts after I get home from work.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] k_l_o:
People that ordered the Ringke cases, could you load pics of your U12+ in them? I'm thinking of ordering it, but don't know which color to get with my Translucent Blue.

Thanks!
[HTC U12+ Accessories] LibertyMonger:
I tried my U12+ in my OEM HTC U11 wallet case to see if the magnetic sensor would wake and turn off the screen and it doesn't seem to work. Of course it doesn't fit properly but it should have worked just by holding the front cover over the screen and opening it. Maybe someone can activate it in a ROM or is there an app for it?
[HTC U12+ Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Nevermind, I ran this test shown in the pics by holding a refrigerator magnet to it and it works.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] parlayed:
I just received my Spigen Liquid Crystal slim design case and I love it. The design of the volume and power buttons and the cut-outs around the camera and flash are much better than my previous case.

I previously purchase the TopAce case on Amazon but found that if I took pictures with the flash on there was a bleeding of the flash into the pictures, due to the cut-outs around the flash from that case.

I tested taking pictures with the Spigen case with the flash on and it's all good now.:good:
[HTC U12+ Accessories] OGhoul:
I also received my Spigen Liquid Crystal case, and while I love the fit and finish, I had to drop my Edge Sense sensitivity all the way down (and would have gone lower, if i could), because I feel like I really have to crank on it to get it to react. Then other times, it work with just a touch. :/

It seems HTC designed Edge Sense to react to a sort of palm grip, whereas I normally hold my phone lower, with a pinky on the bottom for support.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] holz75:
Where did you order it from? Amazon says it's back in stock on Aug 10!
[HTC U12+ Accessories] OGhoul:
...I ordered my case June 7th, the day before I ordered my U12+ :silly:

I will say that the buttons seem to be inconsistent, at least for me, with the Spigen case. Sometimes I barely need any pressure, sometimes I have to death grip.
[HTC U12+ Accessories] parlayed:
So all of my buttons and Edge Sense works just fine with the Spigen case. Note that I do have my settings at the most sensitive.

It's weird how there are so many different experiences with the buttons. :confused:
[HTC U12+ Accessories] bigAL99:
Received this case a couple of days ago. Initial thoughts are its a great case, it fits really well. The buttons still work without issue and edge sense is not hampoered by being covered.

Even the tap feature works if you tap the top edge.

The fingerprint scanner is easier to find as well with the slightly thicker back cover.

Have noticed less accidental screen coming on in my pocket, I had issues with the emergency dialer coming on in my pocket with the HTC case. This is yet to happen with this case.

For the money including getting this from the states I would give it 4/5 for value and 4.5/5 for the case itself.

Will probably still have a good look at the spilgen case when its finally released just becase of how well their cases have served me over the years but I am very happy with this case.
