I believe @EskeRahn means that if you got a second one and put it on the bottom, then they might bump into each other and not allow the phone to close all the way. I only have 1, so I can't test that. It certainly does protect the screen, but at the cost of clarity and the front facing camera would be affected too, but holes could be cut for that. Congrats on the most bullet proof screen protector known to the Pro1 world at this time. 😉 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will hold off on getting a back one at this time - the front/screen are my primary concerns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The picture is likely a 'stock' image of one of the dozen or so other models they also sell in their listing. Also, the listing you linked is for the 'reversed' single latch design, that one might come in handy for people who might find the standard clip-over-the-front style latch gets in the way. The style EskeRahn apparently uses (and I'm considering) has a split latch design where half is on each side of the flip case, making it 'smaller' and less obtrusive. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
everlast4308 30 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 @sequestris, you inspired me to try the clear case on front, and I was curious about @EskeRahn's concern of two cases fighting each other for grip in the gap between screen and keyboard, but at least with this combination of cases they seem to hold snugly while open, while closed, and while actively opening/closing! It's very promising! Also -- at least for me, this DRAMATICALLY improves my ability to casually flip it open, without having to think about it so much. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's very promising! Also -- at least for me, this DRAMATICALLY improves my ability to casually flip it open, without having to think about it so much. Indeed it should be doable, and it certainly makes it even easier to open with the better edge-grip. But as can be seen on your first image, the two parts are slightly misaligned because the mechanism can not close completely, but is stopped 1-2mm short. Not a big deal, but not ideal either. But it is certainly an idea that could be worked on! I would suggest to have the upper part grabbing by the long edges and the lower in a stiffer material grabbing by the short edges. Interlocking inspired by what the below does on the full sides, we only need the 'lip' area shared for the Pro1. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lameboyadvance 98 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) ...Sadly it doesn't look like they make that model of phone case for the Elephone U... ☹️ ...I did however come across a few 'universal' bumper covers. Any chance they could be modified to encase the screen (or even the rear) portion? ...Then again, if the P20 Pro rear case fits over the front of the Pro1, maybe the front half of those P20 cases would also fit?

lameboyadvance 98 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) ...I keep coming across these 'universal' bumper cases that are basically rubber strips with extra padding in the corners. Think they could be modified to possibly fit both halves of the Pro1? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32868048401.html Edited January 31, 2020 by lameboyadvance 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
