Cover for the FP3

Review of Anna Treurniet’s FP3 cover.

I’ve been using the case for 2 days now. Here are my initial findings.

Pros

  • Absolutely not slippery. It won’t slip out of your pocket or hands.
  • Everything fits, if you don’t mind looking on the mm precise.
  • Available today.
  • Made within 2 business days, received 4 business days after payment.
  • Indy designer.
  • Minor, obfuscated branding.
  • Vegan case.
  • Magnet clasp.
  • Place for a plastic card (case blocked my OV chipkaart’s NFC when I tried)
  • Bumper still fits.
  • Power button, volume buttons usable while case closed if you learn to aim (I suppose you could even mark the spots on the case).
  • Good communication with designer.

Cons

  • I don’t like seeing the white on the black (see pictures)
  • You can see it is handmade (minor artifacts with e.g. stitching)
  • At 67 EUR I find it on the expensive side (though S&H was free within The Netherlands)

All in all, I’m happy with the case.

Update 8 Dec: finally managed to borrow my partner’s Pixel 3A to make some pictures!

(Sorry for the bad quality of photos :smiley: )

EDIT: 24 Jan 2020: the top right corner on the back (near the camera) is losing its form. I had to use some glue to attach it to the case. I’m using hobby glue because I want to be able to detach the case e.g. to remove SIM or battery or repair phone.
