Thebman712

Yesterday i has a encounter with the death of my phones screen, luclky the crack is less than 8mm and is in the corner of the glass, not even the screen. However it made me realize that i need more than a skin to protect my devices.

do you mean wallet cases with the flip?

 

if so i have, but idk if that is really what i want. I already have to carry arround my wallet because i need it for cash and recepts and i have more than the 3 cards i would need, and am getting a few more cards when i get my liscence anyway. i would love one of these zenfone 2 cases to have a flat back so i could use a stick on wallet on the back of it but i cant see that happening

Not necessarily a wallet case, but just a folio case. Some of them even have a little cutout with quicklinks to get certain functionalities quick. Kinda like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Zenfone-ZE551ML-ZE550ML-X-CASE-Protective/dp/B00Y6VFJDW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1437528013&sr=8-4&keywords=asus+zenfone+2+folio+case (that one doesn't necessarily look that good, but it serves a a nice example.) Almost like those smart cover things that they used to make for the s4.... except you'd have to remove your back for one of those.... it was still a cool idea.... but it kinda died down...

i mean if they could actually make one with a back that has wireless charging on the back and had a wallet in the front then it would be awesome. but having to open a flap just to use my phone is kinda a drag

Two, because it looks better than the rest. However, Three because it seems it would provide more protection than two but looks better than one.

Heyyo,

I'd recommend Rearth's Ringke Fusion cases. They're cheap, they work great and don't add much bulk to your device.

Here's the link with Linus Tech Tips affiliate code w00t! :)

http://www.amazon.ca/MoKo-ASUS-ZenFone-Case-Protection/dp/B00OXRGD8Y/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1437526758&sr=1-1&keywords=asus+zenfone+2&tag=linustechti06-20

I use a Rearth's Ringke Fusion on my OnePlus One and it's badass for only $10 CAD. I got one for my sister's iPhone 5S and she's impressed how durable it is and how slim it is unlike most other cases and since it's not rubber it is easy to get in and out of your pockets.

Plus? Since they offer a clear version? They provide a stencil for the back so you can always take your favorite picture and cut it out and plop it between your phone and case and have your own custom back. ;)

Heyyo,

My PC Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/sNPscf

My Android Phone: Exodus Android on my OnePlus One 64bit in Sandstone Black in a Ringke Fusion clear & slim protective case
