There IS a sensor in the screen for it, though we do not (yet) have something that can make it turn the display off, as we do for the Pro1 - thanks to @Slion - let us hope he finds a way to do it for the Pro1X too. On the thickness, I usually cut out the credit-card part, this gives a little extra space. (and the case usually is stiffened by some cardboard, so you can bend it to get a better fit) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rasva 24 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I just received this belt case from Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33002799045.html I ordered size 5.1 - 5.5 inch. Pro1x in silicon case (for Huawei P20 pro) fits very well in it. Finally I feel like my phone is well protected against accidental damage 😃 4 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hook 2,655 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I have no idea if this case is already in this thread. I don't like cases, but I like bumpers and back protection, to protect from scraping rather than dropping, although TPU bumpers help there. On My Pro1 it was easy to find a matte black skin that fit, which was easy as you almost can't tell my Pro1 has anything on it. But I liked the Pro1x's color and couldn't find a skin that did it justice. So I got this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N6C258G Fits nicely, not to hard to hack up to properly accommodate buttons and speakers and headphone jack and USB port. The camera window is just slightly off, but doesn't interfere with the lens and flash, And it lets that lovely color on the back shine through. My hacks aren't super pretty if you look close, but someone with good tools and a steady hand can probably make it look almost professional. And, best of all, no interference with the keyboard sliding out. Very strong TPU (which is why better tools than I have could be an advantage. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakfish 73 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 @Hook I have same case and my xacto hacking of it is equally primitive. But it stays on and I never take it off. I couple it with this case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08N3ZHT3R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Which I don't use for anything other than quick-release transportation. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hook 2,655 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 The latter is too much case for me. As I said, I don't like cases. I want to see the phone itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hook 2,655 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Some pictures of my butchery... Camera is fine. No obstruction to lens. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakfish 73 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Yup, that about looks like mine. Apparently, we both attended the same School of Xacto and we must've left early🙂 As for my auxiliary black case, I just use that for protection when I throw it in the car, etc. The phone isn't fastened to it. I don't have room in my pants pockets for wallet, daily driver, and the Pro1x. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have room in my pants pockets for wallet, daily driver, and the Pro1x. In summer, when I don't have jacket pockets, my pro1x is in my left front jeans pocket, my wallet and keys in my right front Jeans pocket and, since I am going to the car, my Moto Verizon slab is in my back jeans pocket. The Moto immediately comes out and is hooked up to the dashboard to provide Android Auto for calls and mapping. 🙂 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hook 2,655 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Interestigly, Amazon presented me with this link today. They make very strong claims about it working with the Pro1x. Since I find it unlikely it was actually designed for the pro1x, I assume it uses some kind of grip rather than a TPU bumper as that would explain all buttons and pports being available. Not what I want, but thought others might be interested and found it interesting they focused on the Pro1x. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08N3ZHT3R Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only way it would be proper for all the ports and buttons is if it's a universal case that didn't have anything designed for either ports or buttons. I just was curious why they decided to market it for a low volume hard to get phone. 😉 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakfish 73 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 @Hook @Tim6263 -- yeah, that's the same one I have. I wrote it up here in another thread, which I can't find. Long story short: the camera hole is cut on the wrong side; if you fastened it down according to the instructions, you would have to use the kb with the open cover in front of the kb, rather than at the back of the phone (and out of the way). That said, I use it with the phone unfastened to the case, simply for protection when traveling, and I'm glad I bought it. Sleek and minimal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jakfish 73 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 As an addendum: even if the holes were cut correctly, I doubt any adhesive tape could safely hold anything as heavy as a Pro1x. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well it is not hard to get good adhesives. The big question if it has a good balance on keeping it stuck on one hand, and being removable on the other. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mangled 7 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 (edited) Amazon Canada recommended a great case for my pro1x that fits exceptionally well. The only downfall is that you have to take off the case if you want to use the slide out keyboard. The holes are all in the correct places and line up pretty good. There are these little tabs you can cut out to extend to some of the buttons at ease. Check out the case below: https://a.co/d/8ZHO0Qj Edited July 28 by mangled 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And if you do not want to use the keyboard, you can get a lot more value for the same money from other models... But that apart, it could still be an interesting protecting case for e.g. transportation, or while using it say on a bike for GPS navigation. They are available outside Canada. Just change the .ca top domain in the link to one suitable for you, e.g. .de: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0B8S1BC74 And the price does not seem that bad: €16.50 with shipping.
