ahunter 108 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 This One Works Perfect: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/153298929217 Wallet closes perfectly (No Mods required). A little thinker than some other cases. Phone is removable while still protected in removable case. Cutting required to access charge port, finger scanner, top speaker and headphone jack. No cutting required for power and volume. The raised buttons on case are slightly mis-aligned but work perfectly. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like that detachable feature too. What about rear camera and mic access? Moreover since this is detachable I wonder if you could use the P20 Pro variant of the inner case together with the P30 Pro variant of the outer case to get larger camera cutout. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Camera lines up perfect. Does need small hole for the rear mic. But you can take the phone out of the flipcase with the magnetised back. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Could it be sourced from somewhere else? Edited April 8, 2020 by Slion Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry it is in Tasmania where Ilive and I am locked down at work in Western Australia, It is reasonable quality, probably not real leather but pretty good for the price. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Could be made thinner by cutting card holder out but folds around phone without modification. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,350 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I got another variant from here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163816498496?var=463367316516 that is not quite as good as these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254181243108?var=553543447253 mentioned above The first is a bit thin/flapsy (and have a minor fabrication flaw on both I bought), the second is stiffer, and with partly matted edges. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DieBruine 397 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Yeah, I understand I could puncture two holes. But it looks to me that pre-fabricated ones are a bit tougher and less prone to tear. I'm actually happy with the one I have now. But it is very bulky and thick. I would like a thin/slim case, because, well, the phone is a ridiculously slippery. That's one of two reasons I prefer a bumper case. My current case comes with pre-fabricated holes in the left lower corner. I always use an carrying cord. It helps me not damage the phone and provides a great tool to get the phone out of pockets easy. I think I will order a few of these cases. Still waiting for the other Pro1's... Has anyone ordered the Hiveskin flipcase? I'm curious about the fit. Pretty sure my daughter would like that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, there are photos earlier in the thread, just search the brandname 🙂 And opviously you are right, prefabricated holes are better, but i have not have any of the many different types of cases i attempted to modify tearing, so I guess the risk is more in theory than a practical problem, none of the cases have been extremely thin though.

The ebay version is no longer available, but I noticed this is also available on the wish app (and perhaps therfore also on Ali Express, but can't check that yet). Pictures are very similar to these and colorscheme is the same. Going to order one to see how the quality turns out, but if someone else want to check it out, it's described on Wish as follows (see attached picture) (just noticed part of the description is missing, but it's also available for the huawei p20 pro) Edited April 13, 2020 by illie-vanilli Incomplete screenshot 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lameboyadvance 98 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 ...I'm somewhat wary of 'magnetic' cases. How strong is the magnet? most of them seem to be very weak and the phone will go sliding with any amount of force. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sequestris 709 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Still loving this thing. I don't think I shared the images of it in actual use. Best thing ever. Having the slide-up for the camera is great and it doesn't interfere with the image quality or flash at all. Perfect for videos too. And damn that thing is sticky. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slion 1,200 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) My latest creation: Based on Snakehive for P30 Pro from which I removed the layer with card slots to replace it with a thin layer of leather from a Wiiuka case for P30 Pro too. Hand stitched them together. Replaced the cheap Snakehive TPU case with this one. It's a case made of 4 different cases, I call it the Frankenstein case.

The phone cover magnet does seem stronger than I was expecting, however I still doubt it will survive a decent drop. That combined with the barely holding magnetic latch means I expect the case will just fly apart as soon as it hits the ground. The latch may hold better if I remove the card holder from this case like I did my previous one, but at this point I'm holding out for a 3D printed bumper case anyway.
