Hey guys,
I was looking for a case for my GS2X, and I found this one that doesn't seem to add too much bulk, and has some styles. I am not particularly buying a case for protection. I want to have some style to my phone, thus I am looking for cases that doesn't cover the top and bottom which usually leads to sleeker design in my opinion.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Natural-Woo...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item4d06a7e4c2
Anyone tried this one? It's not as girly as other ones that this seller sells. 11 people have bought it so far, and I'm wondering how it fits, and what it looks like when the phone is in the case, especially on the front.
Thanks!
That looks pretty unique. I don't know if you're gonna find many people on here that have it, lol. Seems like it might be crumbly or easily breakable, but that's just by it's looks.
There's plenty of fancy and inexpensive cases for this phone. I just search "t989 case" on ebay and sort by lowest price + shipping.
nice but...
For $18.99 it's not that nice. Sorry, it struck me as a bad buy. Good luck with your case search.
For me, at that price I would want my phone in a case that I know will protect it and at least look a little better. Then again i still am using my first case that I bought from E-bay. It was one of those cases where you get like 10 and pay for shipping only =)

Don't get RUBBER or SILICONE, they're weak!
I've done a bit of research and I think I might look in to a Case-Mate case.
Has anyone had one before.
I don't want it to crack like me current has...
I agree with DDotPatel
I have used used gel cases on basically all of my phone and I have never had an issue with them, the protection they provide is great, and its not too thick either.

Agree. They have very good comments in Amazon.
Personally I am not a great fan of bulky case so I like something lightweight and slim back cover and gives basic protection.
Ordering 2 of these plus postage is roughly $10 from NeTimes
They offer several different ones, that look decent and aren't too expensive by any means. Just a heads up, for those of you who are looking for a new case. I'm probably going to order the fake leather one and the 'magnet gray' one as well.

The leather one look cheap and tacky to me. These cases are nice but they don't seem to cover enough of the phone for me.
They look like the cheap (construction-wise) snap on cases. For $30, just get the Seidio Innocase. It's way better in my opinion.
Seidio Innocase II Surface - Black, Amazon
Black and other colors, Seidio Online
On Amazon I got it a week ago for $20, so maybe check a few times they drop the price every once in a while I think.
i got the same case that incipio made for $10 over at Fry's electronics

I didn't want this to be a comparison thread. I simply wanted to point out there are alternative cases out there on the market.
I'm really glad you pointed these out. I used to have a Barely There case on my old iPhone and these look pretty similar to that (I really liked it). I've been waiting for a case like this! Since Case Mate doesn't make any for the Atrix, I might get one of these. The colors aren't great, but I hate cases that snap together...
Thanks OP. Just ordered the magnet grey one. Will update when it arrives.

I'm ordering the grey one as soon as I get paid friday! I want overnight shipping, I don't care if I have to pay another 10 bucks to receive it, lol.
Yea.... they are quite nice looking. Not sure if i really wanna give up my TPU case though....
When either of you get yours.... mind posting some more pics? Would like to see what the inside of the case looks like, too.

Sure thing. I should have it tomorrow.
Just ordered the grey one, hopefully it arrives on Monday!
So can someone explain what exactly this case feels like? I don't REALLY get what a "rubberized satin finish" means... In the past I've used the case-mate barely there cases, which I like because they're not squishy or really rubbery and such. This pure gear case looks solid, but it says it's rubberized so I dunno.
And while I'm asking, what exactly is a TPU case (like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-Argyle-High-Gloss-Soft-Gel-Motorola/dp/B004L2L6JM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1304100403&sr=8-6)
Is it similar to the pure gear material?

Just got mine. First impression is this thing is nice! One of the thinnest cases/shells I've ever seen. Just went into our QA dept to use a caliper and it only measures .86mm or .034" thick. The texture feels almost exactly like my old G1 did. Doesn't feel like it's going to be a lint magnet either. The grey color is a bit lighter than I was expecting too but not too light. It fits OVER the existing battery cover and fits nice and snug. No give in any direction at all. Overall I like it it so far.
I'll post pictures tonight when I get home.

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is basically like a mix of a hard shell and a silicon cover. It's quite flexible, although not flimsy like a silicon cover.... and it's durable.... able to withstand quite a bit and still return to it's original shape. Actually recorded a video of me squeezing the crap out of one such TPU case that i got on eBay because of someone in another thread questioning the quality of the eBay cases.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=700ZNRtNEOA
As for "rubberized satin".... i believe it's basically a quite smooth yet soft feel.... not like a silicon, but not quite like a hard rubber case either. Hard to explain, really. If i had to guess, i'd say it might be similar to the Barely There case, but i'm not sure as i've never used either.
Here's some glamor shots of mine.
Hmm.... not too shabby looking. I may just order one.
edit: Just ordered the deep plum colored one. Only did ground shipping, as i didn't really feel like paying the same amount for shipping as i did for the case.... so it may be a little while.
Thanks for all the info guys! I always wondered what all these different types of plastic cases are. Thanks for the pics too, they inspire me to order one! Has anyone gotten the blue? How does it look in real life?

I dont think there is one that adds a kickstand without adding some bulk
I picked up:
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...te-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-Pop-with-Stand-Cases.asp
From Amazon UK
Attached an image to give you an idea of how much bulk it adds, hope it helps. The case feels great and offers good protection.
The kickstand, although it feels flimsy, supports the phone perfectly (at least for now).
I just got this one, Doesnt add any more bulk than a standard TPU case except for the two little hinge bumps
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180934530324
a couple other pics:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Clear-Soft-...932810?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a77f957ca
I got clear because I love the color of my phone but they have different colors available. It doesnt add any extra bulk as the standard S line tpu cases except what I said before the two little hinge bumps
I think this case looks phenominal imho. Nice and slim and comes with a holster clipto protect the front.

I have this: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-active-kickstand-case-black-p/csk3ssgs3k-bk.htm
ive always been a fan of the active cases. this is certainly a more sturdy option, i think the build quality and fit is really good.
its probably on the thinner side of kickstand cases while still offering some good protection.
edit, technically i bought it from amazon for 5 bucks cheaper: http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-ACTIVE...=1344710931&sr=8-14&keywords=galaxy+s3+seidio
I got this one from ebay. It's perfect except for the fact that top and bottom aren't completely covered.

looks to be the same one I posted above except the ebay one doesn't appear to come with the holster.
Sad, because it really is practically a perfect case with the holster.
Hey guys so I was searching on ebay for some nice cases.
Stumbled upon this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blue-Black-...586830?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4166eb8b0e
Has anyone had any experience with these? Does it look good? I was thinking of ordering one. Let me know what you guys think

For an inexpensive case I think its fine. The novelty of having a stylus is a bonus. There are other hybrids out there for less if you keep looking. This one while lacking the color you may be interested in, would be another option.

I have that case, the paint has already begun chipping off the edges of the grill and there is a crack by the charging port after about a month of use.
i have that style case. i like the bulged up corners which protects great in falls, and the lip is pretty good sized amount so if it falls face down it doesnt really scratch. i put it in my pocket and it doesnt slip off due to the hard case around the rubber. i do recommend it. i got this case to match my grabber blue mustang gt :laugh:

I like the Sline design. Makes it feel like it was made for Samsung phones.

I actually already have that case! Its really nice. But I was looking for a new one, it has to be blue
Well, it would seem I have finally broken my quicksand case. I tried a couple of the cases that are still available on Amazon and I can't stand them. I can't find a quicksand case for sale for my Nexus 5 anywhere, barring a couple of really bad colors (baby blue and hot pink.) Has anybody seen any online?
Have you already tried the Diztronic case? https://www.amazon.com/LG-Nexus-Case-Diztronic-Flexible/dp/B00FZ14E3S
I wish it was available in colors other than black, but it's the best case I've found as far as usability goes.
I haven't tried that one in particular, but had another tpu case like it. They are better than the quicksand for protection but, in my opinion, don't look or feel as nice as the hard quicksand cases. The quicksand case also allows easy access the far edges of the screen, something I had an issue with other tpu cases. I may end up trying it though as it seems these cases are no longer being made. I appreciate the suggestion
Don't know if it's available in the US - but this one is really great, adding nearly no bulk: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00GID6JA8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Love it.

That is the exact case I was talking about. It is the only time I've ever had a case that improved on the look and feel of the phone. Unfortunately that one shows unavailable, but I did find one on Amazon that was from a "third-party seller." I had to pay $17 for it, but it was worth it to me. A shame they are so hard to come by now, I will have to be careful not to break this one.
You can find really cheap ones on Aliexpress. I got one in like February 2015 as a gift and it took like more than a year for me to wear it out. They are sturdy and grip really well and they look really beautiful. I had a black one and my friend were always impressed as f. when they saw it. I don't know if I should put a direct link here, but just go to Aliexpress and search "nexus 5 quicksand" and it should pop up as first with most orders.
I bought a Spigen case five years ago and the phone is practically new. It is more expensive and fat than the other cases but worth it. Trust me.
