oicandide 0 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 700 dollar phone and a cheap plastic case for it to rest in? Throw it in a zip up Thule or send a leather sleeve. A clear plastic case takes away from the class of a qwerty keyboard and is bad for other people taking a look at your phone - with this phone they will be. Develop a case worthy of the qwerty comeback - I'm one of the few who held out buying droid 1, 2, 3 , 4 then buying the 4 and 3 several times before opting for the Keyone. The blackberry is a garbage phone and I'm up for a replacement this year I have high hopes for this product and a dope case to come with the pre-order is what I'm looking for.

I guess the difference between $649 and your $700 could cover a more exclusive case. I hope there will be one available as an accessory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ddark-il 100 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Something similar to totallee iPhone cases, super-thin with matte black finish would look awesome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,399 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 totallee iPhone cases Looks awesome indeed! But if it should hold on the slightly conic bottom 'half', it would need to grab over the top phased edge, and that could make it harder to open...

ddark-il 100 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Not sure if it's an issue. It also grabs some(lower) angle on the iPhone, and the material is quite flexible. Edit: I got one in front of me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: I got one in front of me. Might work, my point was that the edge needed to get a grip, could be in the way for the sliding when opening, and it almost certainly would limit the options of opening to push-only, as it would by hard to get a grip on the top part for lifting of the back edge...

Siani_8 105 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I do wish there was something like the hardshell case I'm using on the blackberry priv. 2 pieces and can still use and slide the phone. I'm gonna end up using a leather pouch or something and I know already I'm gonna end up dropping the phone when not in the case. Not impressed at all with the available options at this point.

James.vizo 3 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Over the past few weeks I've contacted a variety of phone wrap/skin companies asking about making something for the Pro1. I got a lot of kindly worded no's until I contacted EasySkinz. They're a UK based company I believe and they took a look at the Pro1, liked it, and contacted the F(x)Tec team for details and measurements. The F(x)Tec team confirmed today that EasySkinz contacted them so my fingers are crossed and hopefully there will be a skin/wrap option for the Pro1 soon since case options will likely be limited. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Noir 112 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Is there a possibility, that we can have a look at the case from F(x)tec at the hands-on event in Düsseldorf? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Siani_8 105 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I'm going to go with something like this pouch until/if a proper hardshell case is made that protects top and bottom half and still allows the phone's sliding mechanism to work with it on. Looks like the seller here will take custom sizes for her cases. Pro 1 is already really close in size to the S10 plus though the Pro 1 is a bit thicker. https://www.etsy.com/listing/685575471/full-grain-leather-galaxy-s10-plus-case?ref=related-1&frs=1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

James.vizo 3 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Just an update, EasySkinz emailed me again and told me that provided everything goes well between them and F(x)tec they should have a skin/wrap available shortly after the Pro1 is released. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waxberry 638 Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 The official protective cover is under moulding process. We will show it once it's been produced. (Estimated end of this month.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Siani_8 105 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Any official update on how the case will look and protect or is it still gonna be a clear plastic shell covering the bottom half only? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any official update on how the case will look and protect or is it still gonna be a clear plastic shell covering the bottom half only? There was a short video posted on Twitter earlier. It is a protype of the case. https://mobile.twitter.com/chenliangchen/status/1103298918564139010 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keyahnig 80 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Sorry, I couldn't find the old thread. Do we get to see the case before the pre-orders ship or will it be a surprise? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adidas88 29 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Sorry, I couldn’t find the old thread. Do we get to see the case before the pre-orders ship or will it be a surprise? I asked the support a couple days ago if there are any pictures of the hard case yet. Their response was that the support team were not provided with any graphical assets yet.

Gazza 3 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 As a BlackBerry user for the last 20 years I'm about to "jump ship" but the availability of a holster ...not just a case...... is a deal breaker for clumsy old me who can drop or break ANYTHING :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
david 918 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 As a BlackBerry user for the last 20 years I’m about to “jump ship” but the availability of a holster …not just a case…… is a deal breaker for clumsy old me who can drop or break ANYTHING :-) I am guessing the chances of us getting a proper belt holster and case combo for this phone are very low. I did create a separate thread belt holster options though. https://www.fxtec.com/forums/topic/belt-holster-pouch/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rejujacob 77 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Here are some cases from AliExpress that may work out: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32923170906.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.684f3c00X3s17r&mp=1 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32846302273.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.efc03c00K5FxKJ&mp=1 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33006656347.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.efc03c00K5FxKJ&mp=1 I have not bought them, so I am only guessing that it will be ok for Pro1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
