Re: Honor 8 cases and covers?

That sucks. I can't tell clearly from the picture....is it glossy?

It's kind of glossy. It is really good for not having the Honor slide off a table. That's about it though. I kind of took a picture of it without the phone on it on this post.

I almost bought it, I am glad I did not. I like the Sparin case a lot better, the Terrapin TPU case is also nice. The only knock against the Terrapin case was the fact that it did not show off the phone!

Yeah flat pc would scratch easily.since case manufacturers will put small raised indents at each corner so the back won't touch the table,but that's not the case here

The Sparin cases are the best deal for the phone at the moment.
I thought the Sparin cover would be trashed in short order...not so as today!
Pretty tough stuff...

Nice!I will keep that in mind when I get mine. I hate it when a case looks beat up after a short time.makes the phone look old

Got the Nillkin case today...







This one does have a raised lip to keep the screen off surfaces when face down.
This will be my cover of choice even though it hides the look of the fine work on the back.

Re: Honor 8 cases and covers?

Is the back a grippy material?

A couple of additional items I bought since the honor 8 is USB C:

Pretty heavy duty by the looks of them.
These do support fast charging.

That USB drive is the same one I have, it's micro USB under the cover, not type c.

Oops...
I'll need to cancel that one.

Thanks for catching my error!

Or get something like this Type C Adapter, RAVPower USB C To A Female OTG Cable, USB-C On The Go Convertor for New MacBook and Other Devices with Type C USB https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017XARUK...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5457828

I would think that a usb c thumb drive would be more convenient than carrying along a dongle, unless you rarely use it on the phone

Very true, but they are limited in selection and more expensive right now.

Heck I have no idea...never heard of Benson Leung prior...wouldn't care anyway.
I just stick to better brands that I know with good support.
Aukey has very good support.

I'm not unfamiliar with cables and wiring since it was my job in a past life to test and rate RF conductors used in radio and radar emissions.

I would prefer Benson approved . even trusted brands can have problems.I believe that there was an issue with an Anker usb c cable.

Were Anker cables "Benson approved"

Were Anker cables "Benson approved"

A Benson follower reviewed the cable and discussed the issue with Benson
