Well there seems to be a lot of views about the best cases out there, just wondered what the most 'pocket friendly' case was?
Don't care about the material as long as it isn't a sock or a stick-on option (ie an actual case)
Definitely no belt loop, preferably a very low profile clasp etc...
Basically just want something that is likely to stop it getting scratched up in a bag or if it was dropped, but don't need full armour!
Any good suggestions?
I've been looking for something pocket friendly as well... I'm almost ready to just get a thin sunglass pouch... currently I'm using a case for a Sprint Mogul, but it has a belt clip...
i use an ipod slip case, and have pulled off the belt clip, gives good protection to the screen,
going to order a leater slip case from www.pdair.com to see what thats like
I've got one of these - http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000164&products_id=6561
Doesn't add much to the size at all, and I keep mine in my pocket all the time.
Here is what I'm using, it comes in Black, Brown or Pink:
http://www.wirelessground.com/tiltflipblack.html
It covers the back and front very well, the cut outs are aligned very well, it has a slimmer form factor than the Krussel Orbit I normally use.
Here is the one my spouse uses, it comes in Black or White:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/dlsleeve/at_t-tilt-designio-leather-sleeve_2906.htm
I just ordered one of these yesterday. I will let you know how it is hopefully tomarrow or over the weekend.

i would be interested in your opinions and if you could confirm these points for me:
1) Can you still use the touch screen?
2) If the slide up and tilt works fine with the case on
3) The general quality and how bulky it is in a pocket
this looks perfect for me as i wanted a 2 piece armour case where i could still slide open the phone

The "tiltflipblack" is made by PDair and is available for 1/2 that price. I've had one for several weeks and it still looks new, and I wear it every day. It's the perfect case for me.
The slimest most "pocketable" case I've found yet, is the formfitting Noreve case as seen here:
http://www.pocketpcfreak.com/archive/00006945.htm
It is also one of the very few - true - formfitting cases (using a laminated leather design, w/o the ugly and disturbing plasting cover over the KB. It protects the front and back really well, if not so much the sides. Easy to use and good workmanship.
Actually it IS meant (IMO) for pocket carrying.
Have it for about a month, still looks as new. If however looking for a drawback, then to my daily use pattern there is one. While in the case using the Kaiser/Tilt for navigation (in a cradle) needs taking it out of the case.

Just wanted to add my comments based on owning 4 different cases for the Tilt/Kaiser ...
The PDAir aluminum cased is good and pocketable. It is a little on the heavy side, but I've carried it arond now for a couple of weeks and it's all right. The downside is that there is a hard plastic protector over the touchscreen of the Tilt. You have to open the case to use the touchscreen or you have to take the hard plastic out. You can either cut out or push it out with some force, but the plastic is glued in and is under the neoprene that cushions the Tilt against the case. Not the smallest feel in the pocket, but no leather covered cardboard bulk feel. The size of this reminds me of a naked 8125 in my pocket (did that without disaster for almost 2 years).
I also tried the PDAir leather flip case. That one is definitely not pocketable unless you have some REALLY big pockets. And I'm not a big flip cover guy. Another strike is the plastic keyboard cover.
I also tried the Noreve and it's a nice leather case. I would consider this one pocketable, it's rather slim. But it has the flip cover. The good thing is that it has no plastic keyboard cover. It's a little loose when you close the cover with the snap. It's not loosely held in ... that's a good fit. But the snap doesn't hold the flip cover down as firmly as I'd like.
Lastly, I JUST snapped on one of the plastic snap-on kind. Good fit, but not sure how much the plastic will help in a fall. It snapped on tightly ... so tightly it took 15 minutes to get it off! I did not like that at all. If something goes wrong and you need to drop the battery quickly ... 'quickly' won't happen with this case. You can still use the touchscreen and it's a very tight snap on fit. Doesn't add much bulk or weight for pocket storage. NOTE: if you pick one of these up, be careful and check whether the belt clip button on the case is screw on or permanent. The permanent ones won't be pocketable.
The best feel in the pocket is the plane Tilt/Kaiser with no case. But I know I'm pushing my luck if I continue to do that. Still switching up to see what I end up liking most. Hope this info helps folks.

1) Can you still use the touch screen?
YES!
The openings for the keypad and LCD are tappered to provide the best access to the edges but they become alittle harder to get at due to the thickness of the plastic.
2) If the slide up and tilt works fine with the case on
Yes the screen slides out and up to the normal position. The upper softkeys are silightly harder to get at when tilted due to the tickness of the plastic.
3) The general quality and how bulky it is in a pocket
Fit was tight, and snapped into place. I do not plan to use the clip as it is optional, but I will follow up with a proper review and test it out. I will get exact mesuraments later but it is not a big change and well worth the extra size.

Yup! Cheap Too!
I will follow up with a better review tonight.
What I do not understand about using the transparent plastic snap, is why the hack would one need a case at all when all the really "pocket sensitive" components (Touch screen, Camera lens) are not covered at all... IMO if one is indiferent to this, they may not need a case at all.
I guess that all cases are kind of trade offs. Whatever protects adds bulk in the zones protected, light protection protects less than heavy armor but presents snappier use and so on.
The potentially best solution I've seen yet is actually not offered for the Tilt/Kaiser. It is made by EB Cases and called the eNovo. It is made of sturdy yet thin laminated leather, offering a form fitting case with an optional leather flip.
http://www.ebcases.com/-strse-3333/eNOVO-PAQ-6500/Detail.bok
I'm trying for some time to convince EB, Noreve and BoxWave (the ones apparently having the technology) to think about it...
Cheers,

I picked this up from DayDeal.com and it didnt' fit my ATT tilt. the back does but the front will not stay on
i picked up the alum. case for travel and biking it is perfect. also from DayDeal
Hi guys,
Was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for cases for the G2?
I like how it looks naked but am worried about dropping it!
If it was made entirely of that grippy grey material and didnt have the aluminium finish on the back itd make a difference but..
Also if phones had wrist strap loops I wouldn't need a case at all!
What are you guys using and what's good about it?
Thanks!
Edit: erm i just realised the existence of the G2 accessories forum
Sorry mods! orz
i got a smoke clear case from vanguard... 5/5 stars
Check out the Accessories forum
I like the cheap black G2 case that is posted in the accessory forum. I also trade off between that and the clear case with kickstand that T-Mobile sells. Got it on accessorygeeks.com for cheaper though. The clear one is hard to take off.
I use the G1 OEM Black Pouch for my phone. Mostly when its in my pocket to protect it from my keys and to keep dust away. Fits perfect. About $4 bucks on Ebay.
the cases at accessorygeeks.com are good
if you live in canada it takes 3 weeks to ship to you
I run naked! Well I grabbed a Stealth Guard on their site for $3 and so far I like it, protects the back fairly well...just wished it was on the side better
Bought a $3 case off of Amazon. Great fit butthe paint job isn't the best.
Which cases are available at the moment? I think Umi Z cases fit?
Is there a 360° protection case with extra space in corners?

As far as I know, yes. Most sellers on Aliexpress indicate "for z/z pro".
Physical dimensions are similar AFAIK.
I use an apple 7+ case, cut the side for vol,power and top for headphone and fits fine, lots more choice just check 1st

Update.. just received the flip case. It provides all round protection on the edges.
The retail box on the "Z" case indicates for both Z Z Pro...
Pictures of the flip case attached.
Edit...
Unfortunately, the flip case came without the outside sleeve of the box. But I have seen somewhere that the label also says for Z/Z Pro.
I'm still waiting for my Z Pro to arrive. I don't own a Z currently but am sure they'll both fit the case.
Ebay has some cases.
I bought the case from ebay, you can search using this Hard Plastic Back Case For Umi Z/Umi Umidigi Z Pro Phone Protective Cover
It is pretty decent and slim.
This is one of the case, I'm using. Bought from Aliexpress, you should be able to buy from eBay as well.
It makes the phone look cooler but not much of a protection.
Has anyone found a rugged rubber style bumper case for the Z/Z Pro yet? I bought several cases and they are all rubbish at providing screen protection from a fall. I'm ideally looking for something like this which I used for 2 years on my OnePlus One. It has a nice rubber feel providing excellent grip and it has a raised bumper surround which protects the screen when the phone is placed screen down as well as providing solid shock absorption on all corners should the phone fall.
I really want to find something which will actually protect my new Z Pro!!
I've been searching as well. My conclusion is zilch.. Nothing will fit what you require. If only someone can design a bumper case that sits on the top edge of the unibody case, I doubt it would be effective given that slight amount of contact.
I would be happy to know too if anyone found that "perfect" bumper case.
Alternative I can think of now is to cut away the front of the S cover and use that bumper case. It's slightly better than the usual bumper case.
Just my opinion.
Cheers to all!

Having searched all the usual online stores (AliExpress, GeekBuying, Banggood etc) as well as eBay and Amazon I decided to try this iPhone 7 Plus case from Tudia which with some slight adaptation may do the job. I'll need to punch a hole on the top edge for the headphone jack (I plan to use a hole punch designed to make holes in leather belts) and I'll also need to trim/create space for the volume and power buttons which I plan to use a pinchers and/or a scalpel to shape and some sand paper to smooth out the finish.
That's the plan anyway!!!

Yeah.. I've come across others who mentioned they can modify the 7+ to accommodate the Umidigi.
All the best mate!

Just FYI my plan didn't work out as the 7+ case is too loose on the Z to give me confidence to use it everyday so I've donated it to a friend who has a 7+.
Anyone know of a rugged 7+ case which is a nice tight fit for the Z?

If the result is that the case is a loose fit on the Z Pro, unlikely you can find anything to suit your bill.
Personally, I think the internal dimensions are crucial for a good fit.
Looks like Vodaphone Smart 6 phone is same size and layout at the Z , cases appear to fit fine without any modification ..

Hey, i am about to buy myself this tablet, the lenovo yoga tab 3 plus LTE
and while i wait for it to arrive i wanna buy screen protector and cases from ebay, but if i spesific search for YT-X703F there is almost no options so are there any screen differense or layout in lenovo yoga pro and so on?
This will be my first lenovo so i dont know the differrence if anyone is different but is someone could help me out by say the search term i need to use to get the proper glass protector and case i will be very happy..
Im sure there are common search terms for this as well, but as told i am not very familiar With lenovo.
Also, im getting this as a replacement for my Nvidia Shield, im not mush of a gamer but im a total media whore and i like to watch Things in 4K and i also fly some drones that film in 4K so this will be why i spesific og for this tablet of course also since its Budget friendly when compared to other brands..
many thanks!
I just searched Yoga Tab 3 Plus on eBay and other sites and it comes up with plenty of results. I ordered a tempered glass protector and a rubber case. There seems to be two types of cases, the standard book style with a cutout on the back for the kickstand, and a non-flip rubber style case.
I bought some different cases but im not comfortable with any due to the metal stand makes all cases unuseful and flimsy. Just had a leather pouch i stick it in when I'm done.
The screen protector i bought that was made from glass. Very good.
Which cases did you get? Can you take some pics or links to the ones you got?
That might help some of us know which cases to avoid
Thank you
Just avoid them all. Buy a pouch or something. Due to the metal flip all cases will feel flimsy with that extra screen protector that flips over. And its unbearable to use the tablet with that extra dangling around in the back making it very uncomfortable to use.
Yeah that's what I suspected, its a shame. There is this third style I was looking at as well - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0197QBAEM/
It's the Moko case, but no cutout, more like a traditional case. Instead the kickstand rests on the inside of the case.
Have something like this also. You're gonna get irritated of the leather covering the edges of the screen.
Its a no go.
Have also one with plastic edges that it snaps into but that also is not good to use.
Posting picture of my pouch soon
Get something like this. Its so much more convenient.
Hello,
I've been searching endlessly where to buy the Lenovo X703F LTE
Pls where did you get yours?
Bought mine at a electronic shop in Norway. Elkjop.no i payed about 3400 NOK
Hi, I know this thread is a little old (and yet still top thread in this subforum!) so I thought I would update this. I just bought a Yoga Tab 3 Plus and have still to find a case that stays always on the tablet.
In the meantime I am using the Mosiso iPad Pro 10.5 Case Sleeve (I bought mine on Amazon Canada - https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B074N3SDPD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1) which fits the tablet perfectly and feels quite secure. I try and just hold onto the thing when it is out of the case, though I am sure I will drop it eventually.
I am using one of the cheapest 9H screen protectors I could find on eBay (http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Premium-9H-T...var=660813795911&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649) and it fits perfectly! Like a good planner, I bought two - and immediately ruined the first one. The second one turned out much better.
Do not buy the Moko flip case, it sucks.
Hi, I'm still looking for a tpu/silicon back case for my tab 3 8 plus (aka Lenovo P8). But it seems really hard to find something useful...

I've got the Samsung leather case and really like the look and feel of it, but I don't think it offers quite enough protection.
I'm looking for something in leather that is a bit thicker and also also covers the bottom of the phone or maybe a slightly thicker case that is leather-backed.
Any ideas? Thanks all!
I've got the following case arriving today, will report later.

I have a davis case one that is a little too thick for me. Pm me if interested it is brand new
Got the FYY case. Very nice build quality. It's a bit thick and heavy, and will be heavier by the time I load a couple cards and some cash in it. I'm a bit surprised the screen doesn't shut off when the cover is closed. Definitely a keeper, but probably not something I'll use daily.
Thanks all, but I'm not looking for a wallet case or flip cover to cover the front - just protection for sides and back.

No worries let me know what you find! I could use another non wallet one especially leather as well
Ali express has many but not sure about the quality
I bought this case, though it's not real leather I have throughly enjoyed it so far. Seems to protect the phone well and offers protection on all sides. View attachment 4821049
