hi my fellow XDA members i recently have been going through cheap cases of eBay because i cant find the rite one.i bought one last night by diztronic and it looks promising,i also bought one called case mate i seen on YouTube and that also looks promising but expensive! im going to send one of them back.my perfect case would be a tight fitting gel that is durable but not tpu but more of a stiff gel.anyone come across anything that resembles that? thanks

Just bought one of those androidified A2 cases. I'm glad I asked here because I looked all over Amazon and ebay and didn't see that case. Thanks a lot

Both are high quality TPU cases. Im using the Diztronic now. Have 3 Cruzerlites on order waiting to be shipped.The Cruzerlites have ridges on the side for grip and a cool android on the back. Diztronic is matte and gloss and offers good protection. May replace the diztronic after i get the cruzerlite...haven't seen anything like it.

Casemate Tough or Otterbox Commuter coupled with Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor & your choice of screen protector. I've spent Alot of money on cases/skins and this is the best combo for me. TPU'S are also a great value for light protection but my daily setup is the CM Tough & Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor with a Ghost Armor screen protector. These companies customer service is amongst the best in the industry.

The Diztronic TPU case is awesome. I just got mine today and it fits nicely, no shifting cutouts are perfect and adds a good visual appeal to the phone.
i exchanged a noname TPU case for a casemate barely there and much happier about it...phone weighs almost half and case is good enough for light protection.
besides, it's quite classy, TPU or casemate tough don't do justice to the Nexus...

+1 The Matte Black back is much nicer than I had expected to be, and the glossy rim around the front bezel is very generous, and the overall feel of the case is quite classy IMO.
Hey guys I wanted to buy a case mate pop case cuz I like how it looks but I remember hearing somewhere on here that they aren't selling them right now because they are making revisions on them. I seen a few on amazon still and I been tempted to buy one but does anyone know what these revisions are? Like is there something really wrong with the cases?

The current 1G version doesn't have the hole for the camera's microphone. The CM Toughcase and Barely There version does. I don't know why it wasn't included in the first iteration. Laziness, perhaps?
I'm using the OtterBox Defender Case. If you're not a fan of bulky cases it's probably not for you but, it's perfect for what I need it for.
Damn. To me it does seem like laziness lol I guess ill just wait for the revision model

I've had both (Although I had the Commuter for my old LG Optimus One) and I currently have the Seidio Active (Without the kickstand) and the Seidio Active is much much better. The silicone and plastic is much higher quality and it doesn't lose it's shape like most Otterboxes too. The only upside with buying the Otterbox is that is comes with a screen protector (A pretty crappy one anyway) and that's about it. The Seidio case is much better.

By the way does the case get a lot of lint on it and does it get stuck inside pockets and such that's my main concern lol
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
The Seidio case picks up a little bit of lint, a LOT less than the Otterboxes do. Half the time for me it doesn't pick lint up but when it does it's barely noticeable and wipes off really easily. Can't same the same about the Otterbox though, I had a hell of a time with lint problems when I had one for my old phone.

Do yourself a favor and also check out the Trident Kraken(Excellent Video Review Here). It has an awesome kickstand, tons of accessories that can be bought(11 bucks for a windshield mount? DONE!) and you can take it out of the poly-carb box and use just the silicon sleeve when you don't need it. Plus from everything I read online, Trident offers far superior protection than SEIDO or Otterbox. And the rotatable belt clip is way better than a holster, to me anyway. Give it a look, love mine!
Also if you want slightly less protection(and thickness) consider the Trident Aegis.
Quit hatin' on the Commuter!

Of course the Trident Kraken offers superior protection when compared to the Seidio Active and Otterbox Commuter but it also adds a lot more bulk to your phone. (If you're ok with that, then go for the Kraken! It is the most protective case out of the three!).
And I wasn't hating on the Commuter, I was just stating what I had encountered when I had one with my old phone.
I decided to go with the Seidio Active case with the kickstand. It should arrive tomorrow so I'll update you guys on how it is.

Got the Seidio case in the mail today I love it but the only thing is that it doesn't have any opening for the 3 pin thing on the right side of the phone. I don't know if the Otterbox Commuter has an opening for it.

Yeah I don't plan to use them anyways but so far this case is very good but we'll see how it survives a fall which hopefully never happens
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Kraken does not have them either, nor does any high-protection case I have seen.
Would have to say the seidio active is my choice. After i tested it the hard way, due to me being sleep deprived. I was working inside my car engine bay and take off the phone due to getting in the way at times. I just so happened to forget it was in their and then started to drive away to get a drink. I finally realized what happen then went searching for it the case was scratch to heck, but the phone was safe
^ Mother of Buddha :-\
I have what I'm told is a Commuter for sale.. $20 shipped 405-259-2797
I like the little groove on my case from where the kickstand is too makes it feel nice when you hold the phone.

So my free ZooGue cases came in today, and compared to the Cruzerlite Androdified case I received two days ago it is way better. With the Cruzerlite case, it didn't seem to nine up with the ports and mics very well. It was always a bit off, no matter how I put it on. It felt great in the hand though. With the ZooGue ones, everything lines up perfectly. It also feels great to hold in your hand.
If it was possible to get two more of the same case in different colors for free, I definitely would. It's the best slim case I've used on any device. I would definitely recommend it.
I will upload pictures of both on the phone plus the Cruzerlite on my phone as well once I find another camera to take a picture of it with. Before that though, here's a picture of the cases themselves side by side.

Does this cover will protect the screen if my phone falls ? I mean i got the official samsung one and it cover the screen. I got a glass screen protector too. I just want to know if i put my phone in my little bag or in my pocket, will it scratch ?

I got a ZoooGue for me and my wife and I actually like it. It is slim and has the right amount of grip. It fits very well and of the 4 cases that I have (including a Diztronic), it is the one on my phone right now.

I don't have a screen protector, so I don't know. I trust the Gorrila Glass enough to not use a screen protector. I never used a screen protector on my S2 E4GT either, and I never even got a scratch on it.

My ZooGue case came in yesterday and honestly it's worth way more than what I bought it for. I highly recommend this to anyone.Not bulky at all or too small. I might rock with this case for a very long time. I got the Red one if that helps.

Both are great. Only flaw on the neo is the button stiffness. Hard to give the win to one or the other. But this one has better grip than the neo, when picking the phone up.

The biggest thing was that the zoogue didn't have cutouts...which I'm a big fan off. The Diztronic seemed to be a better fit in general...the zoogue was harder to get one but once one it didnt seem to be as snug as the Diztronic. But @ 2.50 each...its the best bang for your buck

I need a case/cover something that doesn't add much bulk (thin) well protected, and looks good. What's your current or favorite case? I'm looking at this bad boy:

The case I am currently using for my T989 is the Diztronic Matte Back Black TPU Case. I'll be posting a review and pictures of it soon.
I got the Diztronic and it's awesome.
My favorite case by far, is this black TPU gel case. It's super slim too, and slides into my pocket. :good:
I have this one and like it.

Although I haven't seen too many cases up close, I think I would agree. The Diztronic case is slim enough to easily slide into a pocket, it fits the phone really well, and it doesn't cover anything that shouldn't be covered. I had a cheap one from Koodo first, but I hated how it covered the power and volume buttons. The Diztronic case was cheaper and looks a lot better too...just wished they had more colour options available.

I thought it was a cool case at firsst..... but then it became to cumbersome pressing the buttons & I didnt like the fact that the case made the phone a little wider. for protection the otterbox cases are the way to go but they cann be bulky, I bought myself a diztronic case and I love the fact that its fits perfectly on the phone with access to the buttons and no extra width added to the sides of the phone :good:
I bought one of the fishbone cases and am very happy so far with it. I guess it's a hybrid case in a sense.
The Diztronic is the best case I have ever had, my wife has no complaints with hers either.
