What matters most to you?

I wouldnt go for any of those. I have the CIMO S-Line TPU Case. It looks nice, its cheap (5$), and it protects my phone.

I'm just looking for something that has looks and doesn't make my phone bulky. I don't like cases because it makes the phone fat. However I need one cause I'm getting nicks...
So something thin and clean looking.

Edit: is it rubbery? I don't like those because when its in my pocket a lot of dirt gets on it. Does it happen to you?

I would say skip on the body glove adds a good amount of thickness... If anything check out the d3o sold at tmobile stores, it's rubbery but dust or lint won't stick to it cause I keep it in my pocket and it adds little bulk, still slim, múltiple colors to chose from goes for 24.99... Loving it only thing a pain to remove so make sure you won't be removing it a lot also the thick of some chargers have to be forced in but nothing crazy....

i have to disagree with the d3o case. IMO,they are absolute junk. i actually ended up buying the white body glove after a few months of use. i was tired of having to push hard on the power button just to get a response. Using the D3O case overtime, i noticed the power button recessed in and was super sensitive to the touch. The white Body Glove has little-to-none button resistance.
Plus my over-the-ear-headphones would never fit in the headphone jack. yes you can use something with a skinnier 3.5mm jack,but i'm not willing ditch nice cans.

No, but I know what you mean. The back is made out of 2 types of materials. One on side of the S, there is plastic like you would put on a couch as a covering. On the other side of the S, there is a really soft and smooth rubber. Nothing sticks to it. Check out this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885042
In the thread there are also some videos on the case.

saw your vid and cant say the video makes me feel comfortable dropping my phone in it.
From the links the OP posted i would go with either the fishbone, or the body glove. the body glove is on my sisters s3 and feels great.

Favorite Gel Case

I tried 2 gel cases the mini suit and amzers both found on Amazon.com
The mini suit doesn't have a gel feel, and lacks protection. Here's the link for mini suit..
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=Amzer+note+10.1
Amzers case has a very jelly feel, and is also much thicker. The price is well worth the extra grip and protection. Which is my favorite thing about the case. It helps you grip the enormous 10in display comfortably without fear of slippage.
http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-AMZ9466...id=1359557273&sr=8-1&keywords=Amzer+note+10.1
All in all if you want the cheapest case you can get to prevent back scratches go with mini suit. If you actually want a grippy protective gel case go with the Amzer. Both cases come in many colors, and at only $20 for the amzer, and $10 for the mini suit($5 shipping included) they are both a steal!
Please remember to thank post if you found it helpful!

Been thinking about getting amzer case, but have read a few reviews that say the silicon doesn't sit flush with the tablet. And that's, my one concern, tell us about it in y your opinion, and photos would be great thanks

By flush you are referring to the way the speakers/headphone input are or aren't exposed?

Theway the rubber sits on the device or are there gaps on the bezel or around ports and or soeaker grills

Hey man, So I was about to post pics for you but my phone kinda crapped out. Sent it into samsung so it should be back in the next 2 weeks. I will try to borrow my GF's GS3 to take some pictures later.. Unfortunately I am using a basic Huawei Android ATT Go phone in the mean time. No flash ****ty 3MP camera wouldn't really show you what you want to see.
I will be honest though, my thoughts about the amzer case where exactly that it was an amazingly snug and good fit. All the speakers/mics/camera/everything is all flush.

I have the amzer. It is thick and heavy. Loads of protection though. It covers all the silver except for speaker grills. There is a YouTube clip I think.

The amzer is definitely thick and good on protection.

Good

agreed

Since it is silicon, have any of you found it to be a dust attractor? I've had that issue with nearly every silicon case I've tried.

Im not sure if your aware of the newer types of polymers used for gel cases nowadays. They are more dust resistent. In short I dont have a huge dust issue when using the amzer gel case. It stays fairly clean and if it attracts an occasional cat or dog hair theyre not statically glued to the case! Hope this helps!​

I have the mini suit and it's great. Fits snugly and all the holes match up. I have a handmade leather case for my note and the mini suit is good to use when I'm walking around with it.

What is a good protective case that won't stick to my pocket?

I'm looking for a case that offers some drop protection, but won't add a lot of bulk and won't stick to my pocket. Now I have a tpu case but I don't think it has much drop protection. Is there any bumper case that just go around the edge like the iPhone bumpers?
Thanks

i got mine from ebay a while ago, its a hard plastic . Works great and since it not rubber it wont stick. SOrry cant find a link as ebay is blocked at work :/

Ok, I'm looking for something that would also have shock/drop protection, something like the speck candyshell would be perfect, but they don't make it for this phone, maybe someone know of a similar case?

The back is plastic. That's the same exact case I got for my sisters One S, even the color, lol. And I have a similar blue one only the corners are thicker rubber. We got them so my nephew wouldn't damage our phones throwing them around. It will go in a pocket just fine if the pockets are roomy. Tight jeans might be a hassle.
Edit: Just checked the amazon link and that's the same one I have only in black. The only difference between that one and the green one is the plastic texture on the back. And the silicone corners layer is thinner on the green one, which annoys my sister as it stretched out and now the top and bottom is loose around her phone, whereas the thicker one I have holds tight and firm.
Hope that helps.

Ok sweet, I'm stuck between that case or the D3O Flex Gel Hard case, does anyone who has the d3o know if it has good drop protection? In the end I'll probably end up buying both because they're so cheap haha.

Well the d30 technology is made for impact protection(it's used in helmets, safety gear, etc) but I've never personally used it. I can verify the two piece plastic/rubber case I have definitely protects against drops, but with corners like that how could it not, lol. My phone straight up bounces when I drop it.

I've had 2 d3os, the one that was hard plastic on the back (99% of then crack) and the one that is all hard rubber. The buttons are really hard to press on either, and i think it led to a malfunctioning power button because i was pressing so hard. Great protection and doesn't come off easily. If you drop it face down i think it will protect it

The Beast from Evo claims this newfound Hybrid Armor can protect one's jewels from being thrown over 50 pes. I am very much so obliged to agree with this monstrous beast! His personal guarantee is written in stone as well.

I'm happy with my D3O case. Haven't had any major drops but it provides a nice grip when holding the phone so it's not as slick as the phone when it's naked.

OCD HTC One Case request

Hi all,
Can anyone suggest a case for me please.
I have been looking but can't find anything that fits my criteria.
I am looking for something that won't scratch easy, slim profile, with a lip all around the edge, holding its shape all around the edge(especially near the micro port and power button), so maybe a hard case would be best.
Would prefer it to be clear as long as it won't scratch easily.
I have had the Otterbox Commuter but its a bit too bulky for my liking and the edges are not kept straight, around the ports. I have also got a couple of tpu cases but they don't seem to keep a perfect shape.
I have also had 2 x Poetic Atmosphere cases but didn't like the finish, with glue showing around the edges on both cases.
Cheers everyone :good:

Yeah I have bookmarked that one. Is it slim? Silver or black version?

Yes it's pretty slim, although it is 2 layers like an otter box so it's not the slimmest. But it's still very slim, especially for a dual layer case. I have the regular dualpro and I love it. CF is slimmer. It is better than the otter box because the rubber is less sticky so there's no friction when going in/out of your pocket. It fits the phone tight and feels premium. I got my dual pro on amazon for $18.. A few days ago they had the CF for $18.

how about that? I'm quite interested in getting it myself. I have an ultrathin (0.4mm) clear hard case at the moment but not liking the fact that the bottom front of the case doesn't cover the champhered edges of the aluminium.

Incipio Frequency?
I have it and it:
- has a very tight fit
- has a lip all around the front: although small, will prevent scratches when laid screen down on tables. But seriously, bigger lips wont prevent damage from a straight up drop onto a rocky surface anyway..
- doesn't scratch
- I don't know what you mean but holding it's shape but it has clear cut-outs for the USB port and the power button
- is very minimalistic
- has an awesome equaliser-sorta-thing design on the back which seconds as extra grip.
It isn't really a gel case but it isn't a hard case either. It's in-between. Hard to the touch but flexible to an extent.
I highly recommend it!

Looking for a case like the Ringke Slim with full edge protection

I have the Ringke Slim and while I love the case I don't love the exposed top and bottom edges. I went on to try the Spigen Slim Armor but I'm not pleased with the sharp edges at the bottom, the added bulk, or the tactile feel of the buttons. Too difficult to press. The phone seems decently protected but I'm just not happy.
I want something like the Ringke Slim with full edge protection but I can't seem to find it. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help!

Says the guy that flies by the thread with a one-liner to search Amazon. Like I said, super helpful. I had a specific request. I didn't ask "where can I find cell phone cases?" You are the ass with the useless response. Just trying to troll my help request. The only way your response could be more unhelpful would be if you said "Try searching online." Please go away if you have nothing constructive to contribute.
If anyone has a specific recommendation for a brand or model I'm all ears. I've spent a considerable amount of time on Amazon, eBay and elsewhere searching and haven't found it so perhaps what I'm looking for just doesn't exist.

I just checked it out. Looks great but its polycarbonate
Why is no one making a slim TPU case like the Ringke that covers all the edges? I found tons of knockoffs on eBay but still no edge protection on any of them. Weird.

There's always "that guy" in these threads. sad.
I know it's tpu but the diztronic probably offers the best protection to slim ratio. I have them for my GS3 & 4 (also have Ringke slims) . I personally don't like them after experiencing the Ringle slim though and that's what I prefer. The Ringke actually does offer decent top and bottom edge protection as it comes up above and below the phone edges. It would have to fall just right to hit the phone edge. One thing I dislike the most about diztronic is how cheap it looks and how cheap it makes the phone look. Totally takes away from the N5 looks imo
You can lightly sand the Ringke slim sharp edges. It really works.
The ever growing more popular unobtainable LG hardcover covers the top edge. Good luck finding one though

By the way, I do have the Ringke Slim. The sharp edges are on the Spigen Slim Armor. I sanded it a bit but I'm just not thrilled with the button feel mainly. That's the biggest issue. We'll see if it grows on me.
Thanks for the response!!

That's a great looking case. Let's hope it actually materializes soon. Seems like it is exactly what I want. Still a little exposed along the bottom but better than the Ringke and it has the Nexus logo. Awesome!

You'll never have a hardcase that provides coverage for all 4 edges and all 4 corners.
There needs to be physical bending points so you can get the phone in and out. If you had all 4 corners and edges covered it would not be possible because of the rigid material it is made of. A 1 piece hardcase by design, can never offer full protection.
TPU/Gel cases can do this because they are soft and can bend/stretch easily, hard plastic doesn't. It gives a little bend, then it snaps.
The LG Hardshell comes closest, but the exposed bottom is necessary so you can physically bend the sides out and slide the phone in. It does have the best bottom protection I've seen though, as the corners wrap further towards the centre.

If it was a softer TPU I think it would work without too many issues.

I think I'm going to try the Diztronic case. It seems like the closest thing to what I'm looking for that I can actually get my hands on right now. I'm not excited about the buttons and may need to cut them out. I love the cutouts on the Ringke Slim. They work perfectly. Third time's the charm right?????

Sure, but then it would be a TPU case and not a hardcase.

When this LG hardcase was mentioned it didn't fully dawn on me that it was a rock hard solid plastic case - I'm a little dumb, I realize that. You are correct on all accounts.
Is the Ringke TPU? It is pretty firm. If the top and bottom were totally covered like most other cases except for a tiny bit maybe in the center (of the top and bottom edges) to provide a flex point when getting it off I think that would be perfect. Oh well.
Obviously these manufacterers should have consulted me!
