We thought it would be a good idea to start a new thread and share the 3D model of our Pro1-X in a .step format for members who are interested in DIY-ing a phone case. The link below redirects you to a Google Drive folder with the .step file. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1u8c6_fxRFu2DU0tVqAxUe4QbA0VBVb4d?usp=sharing Feel free to share your ideas and progress down below for the community!

It arrived and looks awesome 😎

🙂 Your page has already been indispensable in guiding me through the choice and hole-making of Huawei clear case. Thank you for the time and all your experimenting. I just went ahead and ordered the one cited in this thread, just to see. Beside, seller was giving 33 cents off original price. I can't resist a sale.

Be aware that there is a physical difference between the Pro1 and Pro1X that matters for cases. The USB is rather close to the back on the Pro1, but they lifted it a bit on the Pro1X, making more plugs work (e.g. round magnetic power-plugs) But this means that the case design can only serve both if leaving a rather large hole for the USB.

I haven't vetted it yet. @EskeRahn can you put this somewhere appropriate? FXtec Phone Case

Yup. But as I do not use the camera that often, I see it as an added benefit that the camera is protected when closed....

>> So the button are protected when the flap is closed. << Okay, I understand now. You could do it vice-versa, less holes to cut, but exposed button. Got it.

The flap goes under the screen when opened. In portrait I open the flap like e.g. a Manga or a Quran. So the button are protected when the flap is closed. BUT that means that you will either have to make a hole for the camera OR fold the flap all the way over for taking a photo. I keep the inner shell of a P20 pro flipcase with the camerahole at the top, bt remove the whole flap, so it is glued on the other way. Let me do a few photos, just a sec.... Add: And yes, some of the cases i got are made with more care than other - this one so sloppy that I eve

Exactly. for an example, i made a slo-mo video that I put here: https://community.fxtec.com/topic/2681-how-to-openshut-the-pro1pro1x/?tab=comments#comment-42061 Note that flip-cases come in several variants, of the simple one with a magnetic clasp, there are two. The one in the OP with a long 'latch', and the one with two short latches that meet at the side (like in the video)

I'm trying to envision the geography of these cases that open left-to-right. It seems that most controls are on the right side of the phone, so that would circumvent a lot of cutting. Hole for the camera would obviously need addressing. The potential rub: if the phone is physically attached to the case, the kb opens on the left, meaning the case's credit card side could get in the way of typing, unless the credit card side folded under everything somehow. Or perhaps you don't physically attach the case (though the manufacturer in this thread suggests that you do). Or perhaps there's

This is like the AlieExpress merchant who figured out that the Elephone U Pro screen could be used for the F(x) Tec Pro 1 and relabeled the screen (and, then, in this case, jacked up the price-- you can get Elephone U Pro screens much cheaper on Alie Express). 😄 https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804530146022.html?gatewayAdapt=deu2usa4itemAdapt&_randl_shipto=US

OOh. Prime. Will have tomorrow. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BG28XJK8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid

Flip cases works just fine, see e.g. https://eskerahn.dk/?p=3620 on how to modify cases yourself and exampless with flip cases

Congrats 🙂

Just celebrating my 3 year anniversary of the Clacker.

Until something better comes along, I've been looking at app shortcuts in the notification area. The best one I've found so far: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle NT is the only one (so far) that allows a transparent icon on the status bar. It will also let you place a significant number of icons (I'm using 9) in a one row, further reducing clutter.
