What a workaround!!! ...Just ordered four more variants this way. I HOPE the grabbing can be modified to not interfere too much with the side-buttons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah that was my main worry did think possibly small round sticky rubber pads but it's possible it won't touch you can see that in the photos with that Motorola. Obviously main idea with this one can take out easy to put in car! I was actually looking for a black one why I didn't order straight away 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

'carbon fibre style' or this DE https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01MTYSBKO or for UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MTYSBKO NOTE that it is currently seems unavailable for the PLUS on the UK site, but not the DE.... 🤪🤯🥴 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Though aud$30 (about us$20) is a bit on the hefty side, as it is plastic and not leather. But in contrast to the other slide and flip cases mentioned earlier, this one uses adhesive, and this means no problems with the side buttons, so absolutely interesting, and at the most a hole for the secondary microphone when slid in. (and for the earpiece if mounted flipping to the right not left, unless you just slide it 1cm up during calls), The 160mm is also a good fit, as it leaves a little space for magnetic plugs for the USB (and 3.5mm if you can get it). The simple $4 ones i have been using are 157mm, and this certainly should not be shorter with a magnetic plug added. The second link says "Discontinues" so we would need to find it somewhere else.

Mounting the sticky bit towards the bottom of the F(x)tec Pro1. Effectively when compared to the orientation in the picture below the F(x)tec Pro1 would be mounted upside down and pop out at the bottom of the picture. One thing I do not like is no protection around the device, like other modified cases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My point was that it would require a hole for the earpiece, unless you slide it 1cm up during calls. On the last part I would consider to mount it in a £1 clear silicone shell, and then let that be attached to the case. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahunter 108 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I like the idea of a silicone case in the Cygnett. I have also purchased the below to suit the P20 Pro https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Detachable-Strong-Magnetic-Leather-Wallet-Flip-Stand-Case-Cover-For-Lot-Huawei/153298929217?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=453182597452&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Will report back when it arrives. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know, I tried to find that information earlier when I was making the previous post. Thing is, because (I only just noticed) the screen of the Pro1 is marginally smaller than the base it looks as if even the other style of P20 Pro cover will also be too big. We'll need to locate a case with smaller dimensions than the Pro1 to fit the screen portion properly. EDIT: Scratch that, because of the screen curve the vast majority of it is 'smaller' but the screen actually curves down to the same size as the base. However, because its not as thick as the base the 'rear' cover doesn't fit well because it can't sit cleanly over the screen due to its depth. We need to find a shallow '360' phone cover, ideally for a phone with a curved screen. ...Curse this curved screen, its nothing but an annoyance...

Yes, it was discussion earlier, see the following comments to the linked. My best guess would be a note7 Front-over-back if that even exists, and we will expect that to have edge issues. So the least unlikely candidate I guess would be a shell intended for the screen-side of a Note7, that is intended to be used with a film or flat back-protector (I have never seen that set-up) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lameboyadvance 98 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Searching GSMArena for cases around the same dimensions as the Pro1 but in the 5-7mm depth range only results in the Vivo X9 and X9s, whose front cases so far seem to be this style. ☹️ Increasing the depth to 8mm adds a couple dozen more search results.

Interesting. Though neither of those are 'edge type' ...Hmm... we will need keep looking. Something matching the new Galaxy S20+ might be interesting even though it is way too long, but perhaps it might be modified with three sides preserved.
