Looking around for a case I found this aluminum PDair case
Looks pretty good to me.
Buuut, being a new member, I can't post the link, unfortunately.
Does anyone have any past experience with aluminum cases that they could share?
I'm between this one, the case mate tough case, and that black tpu hybrid case everyone is going crazy about.
I feel secure with my Pdair. No reception problems. I have a thread with a little more detail in accessories.

Hey guys,
I have the rubber case that tmobile sold originally and I have the case from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772826
besides the above 2, that I already have, case mate, and otterbox what are some other options?
A friend of mine has a Fascinate and he has a case that is pretty good looking. It feels a little harder, but does not offer as much protection as it does not cover the top or bottem edges. Do we have something similiar?
or what other cases do you guys have or reccommend besides what I listed above?
Try looking at the TPU cases
isn't the one in my link, that i already have, TPU?
that one is different...its harder than a TPU case, almost like bendable plastic
try this one

Try a Cyclops case great protection but its extremely thicker.

I want to buy an aluminum case for my galaxy. I have found a few. Here's one that I really like but it takes like a month to get here.

Any suggestions on other aluminum cases that are out there?
I wanted a as slim as possible case and I wanted it to protect all the way around the perimeter of the phone. Here are the choices (in order from first to last), help me decide.
Rearth Ringke Slim - At $28 it's a bit expensive and it doesn't cover the sides. Also looks to be less grippy since it's hard smooth plastic.
BoxWave Blackout - I'm worried it's thicker than a case like the Rearth, but with that said it protects all around and is really cheap at $12. I think the material is more rubber like which sounds more appealing to a gloss hard case. Not many reviews anywhere for this case.
elago G4elago G4 - I'm not sure about this case in general.
Thanks for your input.
Personally I like the Leather style flip cases, The one that doubles up as a wallet.

I would never pay more than £10 (delivered) for a case.
in terms of slimness i've basically narrowed it down to two giants.
1. sgp ultra thin
2. casemate barely there.
not sure which ones better but from what i can tell they're pretty much the same, both at a hefty 25 bucks.
anyways, i'm in the same boat as you. XD
not sure which case to get.

I have the rearth and it is very slim, the only down side it is a beeeoootch to take off (i have a dock/charger for the phone) and if you take it on and off a lot it cracks and the part closet to the usb port cover, nothing earth shattering it actually makes it much easier to take the case off - that and the sgp ultra clear and it is almost like having nothing on the phone at all.
I have used diztronic cases for the last year (for my SII and now my N7000). They are very similar to the boxweave case you posted.
http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Fle...0386413&sr=8-3&keywords=diztronic+galaxy+note
As you know TPU protects like a silicon case but doesn't stick in your pocket or collect lint and dust due to it not being "sticky" feeling. I recently sold my SII for over $300 after 8 months of daily use because my SII was in perfect condition as a result of being in a diztronic tpu case. No, I never dropped the phone on cement or anything but I dropped my SII on the carpet from 5+ feet and the phone was unchanged when I picked it up. Didn't pop out of case or battery, etc. Because the tpu cases have a 1/8 or so "lip" on the front they also allow the phone to be placed face down on flat surfaces. IMHO and experience, a good tpu case is all you need to fully protect your phone unless you work in construction or somehow expect to drop it on cement.
So, my vote goes to the boxweave or diztronic cases. BTW I got 2 diztronics for $14 from amazon, the black matte and smoke matte. Great deal!
^I'm actually thinking of getting a real cheap TPU case like that I can mod. My ideal case is a TPU Bumper, maybe the Boxwave Black out without the back part but have the vol and power buttons cut out. I guess it's just not feasible so far... ?
Anyway, Thanks for the input so far guys, keep it coming.
bumper TPU from Amazon

first post here,
I have one of these.
search amazon for bumper cases.
I'm not allowed to post urls.
I like it, I have it on right now. What I have is different from what's
in the pictures. No cutouts for the buttons and the other cutouts are not
as big. The covers of the buttons are pretty sensitive, unlike the covers
for the Boxwave type which I got from Hongkong for 2 bucks.
Check amazon out, they have a lot of cases.
I also have the elago Breathe case, I love them I have two.
I ended up taking my chances on this. I guess it's going to be as close as I get. Thanks everyone, I'll let you know how it is when I get it.

I have the 3 of them
Go for the Rearth Ringke Slim , is THE BEST OF ALL !!!
Hi all, I'm in a similar dilemma.
I've got a choice between these two:
https://www.gearzap.com/media/catalog/product/3/4/34484-2.jpg
and
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HYBRID-SI...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item416682f7b6
I know I should pick the Zenus, but would the inside bit that holds my phone scratch the outer bezel? And since the hybrid one has a silicon case THEN a hard outer shell I figured it would be good too. Any ideas?
Thanks!
I use a an SGP Ultra thin. Comfortable case. Considering the size of the phone the case is great. Merges with the Phone. +1 anytime.
I ordered this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160732471512?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649. It has a stand that works in both axis.
good
Nice
I was wondering, is rubberized, titanium, or plastic better for the fishbone case?
I was wondering if you guys have any experience with the rubberized/titanium one as all the threads only talk about the one with the hard plastic.
Also, does the hard plastic on the back of the original fishbone scratch easily? Was thinking of either getting black or white version.

This is the site for the rubberized one.
Any opinions on fishbone cases in general would be greatly appreciated too!
Thanks!
I have this case and personally I'm not a big fan. The rubber portion of the case doesn't fit tight on the phone and can move around. I like TPU cases because they're typically pretty slim/light, cheap, fit snug, and they provide good protection against drops. I've used this one on several phones and haven't been disappointed. You can get them for ~$3 on ebay.

I've use the rubberized one for awhile now. After pulling it out of my pocket enough time the case became loose and doesn't work well anymore. I just ordered a fishbone case in hopes that the metal will hold the rubber together better. I'll let you know how it works when I get it.

Was thinking about getting this earlier but then i felt someone else's and didn't like how it felt. Now I'm thinking of getting the diztronic case or maybe a ballistic case. Leaning towards the diztronic though.

Well I got my fishbone case. Come to find out the fishbone is plastic. Other than that I am much happier with this product. The rubber seems to be of better quality and the plastic allows it to slide in and out of my pocket without stretching the rubber.
Has anyone found a case that is similar to the Speck Pixelskin HD?
http://www.speckproducts.com/collections/pixelskin
Depends, are you looking for one for the grip, or armour personality traits?
Cruzerlite's Spi-Force case is similar. A bit bulky though. If you don't like that, keep looking, i'm sure i've seen a few knocking about that are very similar to the one you are looking for.
edit.... Alright, I did't have a proper look at the case you wanted. it's only similiar-ish. apologies
Well, I'm looking for a case that added minimal bulk, covers all of the phone including the buttons, and one that doesn't have that cheap glossy look/feel. I ordered a SUP case but the look of the back cover didn't really do it for me. I also tried the Spigen Slim Armor/Ultra Hybrid but those were a bit bulky. Im currently using an Ultra Fit and I love the feel and fit but I miss the protection and coverings for the button. Maybe I'm being too picky haha :laugh:
