What color is your case for your Honor 8?

[dpham00]

Good thing it's clear so it would match with any color phone

Lately I've been going naked (without a case), but before that I rocked a clear nilkin case. I loved it because it had dust protectors for the USB port and 3.5mm jack

Here's an official honor made case I forgot I had that was made for the Pearl White color as the corners are silver. I'll definitely be using this case moving forward bc it will still show my red skin I ordered. I'm glad I remembered I had from a while back from one of the previous times I owned the honor 8

I have this case, definitely shows off the phone and does not add bulk. However does not provide much protection

That's like what Apple does. White face with red back.

Yeah that's true!! I forgot about that model iPhone until you mentioned them.

No it doesn't add much protection but it does protect the corners pretty good. I just like it bc it doesn't cover up the phone and I'll still be able to see my new skin I have on order.

I use a clear case still. I had a metallic blue case for a while, but it got destroyed at festivals. I would rather not have a case, but the phone is far too slippery.

Is it snug when you put it on?

Why not just get a back skin? That would make it less slippery

Yeah it fits perfectly I'd say. It was designed by honor themselves for the honor 8 so it fits just right. It's not coming off or anything unless you pull a corner off from it then the other corner. What I like about it is that it's like having no case at all but yet you do and some protection is better than no protection. If you were to drop your phone with this case you're not going to benefit shock absorbtion but your corners will be protected which most of the time that is how your phone hits the ground on it's corners. I assume this is the reason honor designed this case the way they did.

 

[Dconn1975]

That's what I've done is order a skin from dbrand. Hopefully it won't take too long getting here but I ordered matte bright red for mine. Most likely when it arrives I'll probably drop my case and just hope I don't drop it. The skin will give me plenty of grip.

Sorry for the double post as both times I posted it the link appeared to be broken and didn't show up. Anyway I placed my order for that skin today. Looking forward to it arriving soon. The contrast will be sweet!!

They look pretty cool, but no corner protection against a drop.

I like the mahogany wood with my gold one. Maybe put a clear case on top for protection

That's a good design for those who want a really minimalist case

The mahogany wood does look nice! Why not get a bumper case to go along with the mahogany skin?

Does the skin have protection for the sides?

Unfortunately the honor skin on both dbrand and slick wraps does not come with any side protection skins. It's only for the back and front of the phone which all I'm getting is the back only. Now I kind of wished I would have gotten the red carbon fiber skin instead of the regular red. I was torn about that so I went with the regular red. It'll be fine as red was what I was after anyway against the Pearl color for the contrast. This case I have will show the full skin off too.

Oh that sucks. It would have been nice to have side protection against scratches.

Yeah the only reason I think that the sides weren't made for the honor is because the honor 8 has rounded sides and getting material that thin in width to properly stick on rounded edges would be kind of hard to ensure. But yeah I do wish they would have also produced the sides too. I would have opted for blue to contrast with the red to all out yo for my Spiderman and Cap America theme. I'm a huge marval fan there lol. In fact that's one reason why I like red so much so the blue contrast with the red would have been perfect for me lol. I just love using this phone without a case. I wish my skin would hurry up and get here but I've got a while yet as I just ordered it only a couple days ago. I've probably got another 4 days out or so. I can't wait to install it. I'm pretty good at installs but it takes me a while as I get OCD about it fitting perfectly on the phone with it not being out of line anywhere. The hardest part is not lining up the camera holes and fingerprint sensor rather getting it to align just right equally on both side edges coming all the way down. I typically have to stick the top part on a few times before I finally get the perfect alignment them that's when I'll stick it all the way down and smooth it out. One good thing about dbrand is that their material is pretty think so it's high quality.

That makes sense. Rounded edges are hard to make a wrap around that looks nice

Blue and red I think would look unique. Post a pic if you do this.

 

[Dconn1975]

Check out what my Honor 8 will look like tomorrow!! My dbrand skin arrives tomorrow when my mail runs which is normally before lunch. I'll post some real live pics of it installed tomorrow too. Meanwhile here's a stock photo of what my pearl white honor will look like long term moving forward after tomorrow.

 

[dpham00]

Did you install it yet?
