Caseology Slim Fit Flexible & i-Blason CandyGel Hybrid TPU - Nexus 5 Accessories

Just ran across these cases on Amazon, they both look good and the price is right. Do any of you have experience with these type of cases?
i-Blason Google Nexus 5 CandyGel Hybrid TPU + Hard Clear Case (Hybrid Black) - $2.99 + $4.98 shipping - In stock Oct 30th.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FOW4KNC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A209HAH4Z0MGU9
Its similar to SPIGEN [Ultra Hybrid], RINGKE FUSION, and SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Premium Hybrid.
I don't like the Spigen case cause of the power and volume buttons design, I do like the Ringke case, and don't like the Supcase case cause it has a frosted back.

i've had an iblason before for the nexus 4 and ended up not using it. it was ok, but diztronic made a better TPU case IMO

I like that one also but don't know which one between the Black Matte or Black Leather finish. Which one you like best?
Think I may get one of each, but it sucks they dont combine shipping.

I think the matte one would be the safer choice, but I like the black leather myself. I don't know how it will hold up from daily wear and tear but for $5 I'm willing to take the risk. I think I just talked myself into getting the leather one

You talked me into the leather one and I talked myself into the Matte one. From the link you sent me people seemed to like them. $9.98 for 2 cases is not bad. Better than cheap silicone or TPU S ebay cases.

To anyone that bought the Caseology cases: Is it thin in the hand and how does it compare to other similar cases?
I'm thinking this might be a bit more bulkier than others for some reason.

Are you using a case and what brand?

I didn't see another thread with this specific topic. Who out there is using a case for their GS3, and what cases are you using? I'm on the fence, am not usually a case user, and I'm not sure which one to buy. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Also, any pictures and/or links would be appreciated!
i got a case from rockphones. Its really more of a stylish low profile bumper than an encasement
I've been hearing good things about Diztronic cases so I ordered one to try out.
Are the TPU cases supposed to be good shock absorbers?
I picked up a Body Glove today from a local AT&T store. Way overpriced, at $30. But, it is a snug fit, and the whole thing slips into a leather belt-holster nicely.
That being said, I just put on a Zagg HD and am thinking of ordering one of those carbon-fiber stick-ons.
I've got a Rock case on order, just waiting for it to ship. It comes from China so it takes a while to ship but those who have had it said it is very slim and works great with the phone. Definitely not the case to look for if you are looking for protection but I am just looking for something that wont scratch the bottom and protect the camera and screen a little.

I agree. If you find one please let me know.
This is the case I bought, hopefully it's good. There's not enough reviews about cases yet, so I'm nervous when making decisions on which accessories to get for the S3.
Elsse Case
Otterbox Commuter here. This thing is so slick and slippery I am going to need to put some duct tape or something on it for grip! The store only had plain ole black so maybe I'll just get a Defender online since I know they're grippier.
i ordered the incipio silicrylic case after reading alot of good reviews. just waiting for it to come in.
Incipio case on Amazon
I bought the Diztronic case. It's decent and it comes with a screen protector which was easy to put on.

it is a great case, just a little thick for me. i'm still on the hunt for a decent hybrid that doesn't add too much bulk. looking to try out the pop case by case mate and go from there. i might end up with a high end TPU, either from incipio or speck. the price difference between those two is very large though (almost 20 bucks ).
I was not using a case and you can tell from the pics I've attached I'm regretting it... I do have insurance, so getting a replacement. In addition, I'm going to try the Case Mate Pop.
As I'm sure someone will ask, the screen shattered by landing perfectly flat (screen first) on tile from a ~3 foot fall. The phone without a case is so thin & slick...
I got 3 - went Red, White and Blue!
Couldn't decide which to get, so got 3 !!
I had a Trident Aegis before for my prior phone, the LG g2x (longest year of my life, loved and HATED that phone, it reset ALL the time, even after SW update!) and it does make it bulkier but is GOOD protection, so I got several levels of protection, looks sleekness, after reading everyone else's input, recommendations etc
Got them all on Amazon (along with more goodies!)

Tight fitting case for the S3?

So far i have tried case mate barely there, nice but little protection and the edges wear very quickly and SGP modello which is nice, but would be perfect if it were a tighter fit.
I wanted to try the neo hybrid but from what ive read the fit isnt any tighter than the modello.
Is there a case in the modello, neo style that is a proper tight fit?
I'm not sure what you mean by a "tight fitting case" beyond one that fits securely. With that as the criterion, I can recommend two cases:
Less protective, and currently significantly less expensive (because only shipping is being charged), is the ZooGue, which is available for the cost of shipping. I paid just under $6.00 for two cases shipped within the United States. The cases are well-made and at least as protective as the basic black cases my wife and I bought for our Vibrants back in July of 2010.
More protective is the two-piece DBA Ultra Complete, which I received last night from Amazon.The fit and finish are excellent. The inner layer is TPU. The outer layer is a flexible polycarbonate.

Don't ever Buy the case-mate Barely there. It's horrible quality. I've heard the SGP Neo Hybrid is good
I second the ZooGoo. It's pretty slim and one of the tightest cases I've used. The UAG and Casemate Pop are both tight but not as slim as what it sounds like you are looking for. I too have the Modello and loved it until I got the ZooGoo. I just wish I got Black and not Red.
Currently not being productive on my S3.

The OP appears to be concerned about protection as well as a "tight fit." The more protection is an issue, the more I think I'd recommend the DBA Ultra Complete. But until last night, I was using a black ZooGue. It looks great with my PB SG III.
The Cruzerlite cases are awesome. Definitely tight fitting as requires some lining up to fit properly...can't just slap it on!
Buttons easily accessible, grease doesn't tend to build up like it does on my SGP screen protector either.

At the price you can't beat it. If it's protection, you need, go with the Acase. Absolute favorite all around case and another great value.

For protection, now having an Ultra Complete and reading the Acase description, I'd go with the Ultra Complete for protection. The Ultra Complete has hflexible, high-quality polycarbonate and TPU versus PCM and silicone.

So the Zoogue is "free"? I added two different colored cases and it comes out to $.02 cents plus $5.97 shipping.
edit: Ordered a blue and a white case for $5.99. Thanks for name dropping.
yes its free, i just got mine yesterday. thought it was 2 weeks before it arrives, but hey, it took only around 1 week(i guess). what i ordered was red, which i thought ill be giving it to my wife as i plan to buy her a red S3; but i instead bought galaxy note 10.1!! lol... now i have this as my spare case (together with CM phantom, otterbox commuter and metal slim(white) ) hahaha

DBA Cases is a new company that makes the Just Like Glass screen protectors and Thin Grip and Complete Ultra. There are threads discussing the Thin Grip here, the Complete Ultra here, and the current production screen protector here. (I have no business connection with the company. I came across it in my search, as a new Galaxy S III owner, for a case and screen protector. The CEO has been an active participant in the discussion of his products. In response to complaints about the coverage of his screen protector, he had made and sent to seven testers, a larger trial model. I'm one of the lucky testers. Mine came yesterday. My initial impressions of the larger screen protector, which I'll expand on over time, are in DBA Cases supersized me.)
Get the Slim Case directly made by Samsung!!!

Screen Protector Addition
Thanks for posting this! It's really helpful to have everything organized.
To add to the screen protector section, I ordered the IllumiShield screen protectors, they are under $10 with shipping from the official website. I have yet to receive mine, (est. of 8/08), but read through the reviews of the IllumiShield under the Nexus 7 (2013) Acessories forums. They come in packs of three, which is nice in case one get crumpled.

Is there any cases that just covers the sides like the iPhone? I want to put the skins type for the front and rear. Unfortunately those don't really give any protection.

Thanks for all the information. I was wondering if it would be possible to add some details to each item as people begin receiving their item and testing them. I am in the market for both a case and a wireless charger, if it is possible. It would be nice to know some confirmed instances of cases/wireless chargers working together. Also things like "this screen protector doesn't stay on well" etc. Had some bad experiences with that before. I understand it would be some extra work but it would be a really nice tool for people in the future.
EDIT: Looks like you already plan to do some of that. Thanks!

Awesome. I probably wouldn't have seen this unless i was looking on here.
Just preordered mine on Amazon.
Bright Red? How bright we talking about I wonder? There's Crimson Red for other phones they make so I guess brighter then that.
Something to match the colour tone of the Red Nexus 5 I assume.
Ordered the Red Neo Hybrid yesterday. Have the other three colors. The Neo Hybrid is a great bumper case.

Which is your favorite?
Hope the red matches the Nexus. The color of the phone is different than it looks in pictures...
Can we buy just the frames?

I wanted the silver but amazon had the gold one for $13.99 so went with the gold.
Gotta say I really LOVE this bumper, the back feel is so smooth...can't stop touching it sometimes

Originally it was the Metal Slate, but the Satin Silver now looks a lot nicer than I originally thought. The Champaign Gold caught coworkers' eyes.
Happy I saw this thread.
So the question is which to get?
Ultra Fit
Ultra Hybrid
Neo Hybrid
Slim Armor
And do any of these work with Spigen screen protectors?

Neo Hybrid. I thought at the beginning I'd get the slate gray base and later just buy the metal bumpers but Spigen does not seem to be offering the bumpers alone.

The Ultra Fit comes with the Chrystal Shell screen protector.
I emailed them asking about just buying a separate frame I myself have a gold neo hybrid because it was cheaper (on amazon) lol and love it the color is okay, it definitely will get a bit of attention with the neo hybrid and people asking if its the phone itself or a case, anyways I'm hoping they'll reply soon, others should email them and ask if they could sell just the frames and see if you guys get a response

Literally searched high and low to find just the metal frame bumpers, but couldn't find none for our Nexus 5's. Did find some for iPhone 4-5S and Galaxy S4. I also emailed them if they could sell us just the frames for our N5's since they sell them for 5 other devices, waiting for reply.
Are those bumpers really metal? I thought they are just plastic... No?
Edit: I meant those bumpers in neo hybrids

They are plastic. Called them metal because of the look and feel compared to the softer TPU body case.
Need a case for my Red Nexus 5. How does Red ultra hybrid look? Does the color match the nexus color, since its only red on sides and back is transparent? Also is it rubber-like or plastic?
Or is it better to go for a clear ultra hybrid?

[Q] LG G4 slim clear case

Hi
I am looking for the best clear slim case for the LG G4. Here are some cases that i found that might be good?
I-Blason Halo Scratch Resistant Hybrid Clear Case
Spigen Case Ultra Hybrid
I was thinking of getting this one -> http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00VH1T0EI/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A8NYDTKQCUJSM#
There is a link on slickdeals for LG G4 cases from Rearke (sp?) - some of the best cases for $5 or $6 shipped with no tax.
Anyone try these. I got the i-blason clear and it gives a polka-dot effect on the white. I'm guessing it's some kind of shadow effect but definitely not attractive. I sent them an email to see if I'm crazy or what because the effect certainly wasn't in their pictures on the amazon page.

Got it. Using with AT&T H-810 with leather back. Very snug fit and the openings around ports are generous. Curious how it'll hold up against scratches.

When you pull the case off, does it come of easy or hard? Does the corners get scuffed taking the case off?

I'm trying this one out:
http://www.amazon.com/LG-Case-Light...=1434731448&sr=8-2&keywords=ringke+slim+lg+g4
As it's a hard plastic case versus TPU, I'm hoping it won't have the "sticky" effect like OP.

Hello,
I gotta be honest, I own the I-Blason Case for my Red Leather LG G4 and I got to say, I'm a little disappointed.
It's not holding up well to scratches and the case already looks like it's a month old even though it's been a week, so far I'd only give this thing a 3/5.

I must advise you. Some one reported bad glare from flash cause case covers it. I am using speigen ultra thin clear case with folio wireless charging back. I modified hinge side so I have best of everything. Also fits over leather backs. Fit snug but not too snug.

Description says 0.35mm, I measured 0.25mm.

There are several reviews on Amazon that mention the clear I-Blason case scratches easily. It's funny because I-Blason uses anti-scratch as a marketing angle.

Take a look at the Case-Mate Naked Tough. I replaced a Ringke FUSION with the Case-Mate this week and I am very satisfied. I have it installed on a leather-backed T-Mobile version and it fits fine.

Hell, that's the thing that's so annoying about the scratches.
That's why with Spigen I know I'm getting high quality I've never been disappointed in a Spigen Case before.
They complain about Fingerprints, but I'd take Fingerprints any day over scratches.

Does the case go on and come off easy without messing up the leather corners? Is the case scratch resistant? I saw a few of these on Ebay for $20, but all the sellers mentioned the case is not compatible with leather back.

Check out the Nillkin Nature TPU case on eBay. Ridiculously thin and fits the leather back no problem. Just got mine today love it. It even has port covers for the USB and headphone jack.

I was able to remove the Case-Mate without causing and damage to the leather back. At my local T-Mobile store, the Case-Mate is labeled as compatible with the leather back version of the G4.
