Case-mate TOUGH case. Very impressed

I bought a case mate from eBay on Tuesday and after 2 weeks with my nexus it's finally arrived. The fit is great and makes the phone feel much easier to grip and more solid too. Its a 2 section case, silicone inner with a hard plastic outer layer. They can be found for £24.99 on eBay.

Aindow, did your Tough come with a screen protector from Case-Mate?
Had one of these for my Desire before I had the GN and it came with one included. The CM screen protector was pretty good so would like to get one for the GN too.

thanks for the review
I just ordered one from thecellguru, hopefully it won't feel too thick on the phone the slimness on the phone is amazing

No I didn't get a screen protector which is kinda disappointing as someone told me they normally come with one.
I've ordered an spg protector off eBay but it's coming from south Korea so will be a while before I get it. I guess I just have to be careful for now.

It is quite thick as its a double shell(I'd say about 2-3mm thick as an estimate on all sides of the case) but for me it makes the phone easier to hold anyway and the edges of the case stick up past the screen anyway so the screen is pretty well protected anyway.
Don't forget to let us know what you think.

How tight does the rubber lip seal to the face of the phone? Tight enough to keep lint, dust or dirt from getting in there?

+1 would also like to know. Also if you could comment on how tight or loose the top and bottom above and below the screen is. I know on my sensation with a tough case it was loose below and above the screen where the hard plastic shell didn't quite extend.

WELL TONIGHT THE CASE HAS PROVEN ITSELF. My girlfriends mum knocked the phone off the worktop and it landed face down on a tile floor! Expecting the worst I picked up the phone and it's perfectly fine and was still turned on.

It's a really tight fit on the sides. The top and bottom are not quite as tight but I've had no issues with it pulling off or anything. As for the fit around the edges of the screen and dust protection its excellent apart from at the top where its not 100% snug but I think this case may possibly be designed for both versions of the GN. I wouldn't let this put you off though. I'm currently waiting for my sgp screen protector to arrive (plumped for a premium one that comes with the applicator and micro fibre cloths).
All in all I'm happy with the case.

This is the case I've been waiting for. I got the same one for my Nexus One two years ago, and it has protected it from drops on the pavement dozens of times. My N1 is still in mint condition thanks to this case.
I can't wait until real retailers start stocking these. I'd rather not order it on eBay from Asia.

I can personally say this case is great. Looks brilliant and feels really sturdy.
Only problem is that the power button doesn't click anymore, but it doesn't feel too bad and is still responsive.

I found a cheap place to get one of these cases for US people. For less then $20 I'll check it out, just ordered myself one

But is this one for the Verizon or the GSM version. The website only lists this as a compatible device: "Samsung Verizon Galaxy Nexus SCH-I515"

I just ordered one and wanted to confirm this is a hard shell and silicone skin, yes? I looked at Case Mates website and saw the iPhone 4 case and assuming it's the same setup.

Yes. It's a silicone inner shell with a very hard plastic outer case that wraps round the back/sides of the phone.

Bumper-like cases for side protection?

I'm pretty much a minimalist when it comes to phone cases.
I already have ghost armor film on the front so I just need a bumper that protects the side bezel, just like iPhone 4's. I'd rather not have back cover since I have a white gs2.
Is there anything like that available?

nothing, how about something like this?http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-TPU-T...405692?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cc0116ebc

I'm the same, i have the white one with the d3o case. I find myself taking the phone of the case alot because it just flat out interferes with the beauty of phone.. O think what he's looking for is something along the lines of the iphones iband.

I'm pretty sure D30 had release them. They had it where you can have the bumpers only, or with the clear back. I saw them while I was inside the T-Mobile store a couple of weeks ago. Not sure if they have it in all the corporate stores.

I'm surprised there is not many option available for t-mobile version gs2... I just ordered white version of elbarto's link though it's not exactly what I was looking for.will post picss once I receive it. thansk everyone

I take that back, it was for the Galaxy S 4G, not the Galaxy S II 4G

The D30 flex protect is the closest thing to a bumper for our phone.

Clear TPU Case
Have you considered getting a clear TPU case? I also have the white GS2 and I ordered this case right here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00620FT76/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
Honestly, I think it looks ****ty on the black model, but I can vouch for it on the white one. It fits snugly on the phone and has power button and volume rocker cutouts. It's nice because it's totally transparent and you can see the white back. If anything, it just makes the phone look more badass.

Not taking any chances with this device. TPU cases offer minimal protection against drops, sure its cheap but I'd rather dish out the extra bucks for a reliable case. I have dropped my device many times already from carpet (not much to that I know ) to hardwood floors and the case has kept my device looking like new.

Yeah theres no padding in a tpu case. People like the d30 because both the flex protect and defender offer padding and scratch protection.

Just got the case and it looks fairly good. Back cover is frosty transparent so it still shows off white. It does add some bulkyness to it but it's close to what I was looking for: http://goincase.com/products/detail/snap-case-cl59594/2

If you are minimalist, then you don't need a screen protector for your device. The screen of your device is pretty resistant (Gorilla corning).
For case, I am also looking for one, the thinnest I have seen are the carbon ones. TPU ones are a bit bulky IMO.

I'm still digging my D3O. I've yet to experience big drops (I'm really hoping not though). People complain too much over the buttons saying that they are too hard to press but really they soften over time.

Word. Mine are much softer now after a few weeks of use. Cutting them out seems like a mistake... the buttons are protected by the case if dropped.

Speck Clear GemShell for HTC One - Mini Review

Hi all,
I've been a lurker for many years here on XDA and figured I'd try and contribute for once. Sorry if someone has posted a review on this case in the other threads. I looked around for a bit but didn't find any.
I received my Speck GemShell for my HTC One http://www.speckproducts.com/smartphone-cases/htc/gemshell-for-htc-one.html about 3 days ago. It's a hard plastic case with gel incorporated around it. BTW, for those considering shipping options, mine shipped out from Oklahoma so it reached me in Chicago in a day via the free shipping option (USPS). That being said, here are my impressions so far:
Pros:
- The case still leaves the phones feeling pretty slim (though I still do prefer it nekkid).
- It's clear except for a gel around the front rim, corners, and inputs.
- The gel around the front rim elevates the phone when placing it on its face.
- The gel around the inputs will hopefully prevent wearing/cracking of the hard plastic.
- Seems well sealed enough that I haven't seen any dust or pocket enter the space between the case and phone.
- The speck logo on the back is really well done. It makes it seem like it's a part of the aluminum.
Cons:
- The power button becomes really recessed. Not a deal breaker for me but definitely something to take note of.
- Interacting with the volume buttons requires more effort.
- I'm OCD on keeping fingerprints off my phone/case and the cleaning has left micro-scratches on the case. So far it doesn't interfere with the appearance but we'll see after a longer period of time.​- Wish the gel actually covered the entire sides, top, and bottom for better coverage. Even with the clear plastic, you don't really see the aluminum on the sides, top, and bottom.
So you can see the selling point of this phone is not only that it's a clear case but the gel that they've incorporated into it. I'm a bit sad on the micro-scratches but I'm not convinced there's any other case-based solution that would be cost effective. I've attached pictures of the case below.
Hope this mini-review helps!

And you know what they say about opinions.

I just got this case in the mail over the weekend (still waiting on phone) and The case feels rather flimsy on its own and is incredibly thin. I have no doubt it'll protect against scratches, but feels like it'll do nothing for drops. I didn't expect Otterbox protection, but was hoping for some kind of impact absorption. Anyone have any experience with these cases and drops with previous devices?

Actually I went into the Sprint store on Thursday the 18th & purchased the white & silver speck case cor my HTC ONE that I was receiving in the mail the next day on the 19th & liked my case on it because it matches tne phone perfectly & fits it really tight like a body glove. It's hard to put on & hard to take off but I saw the clear gel case by speck o line yesterday morning & wanted that one because it will show my phone all the way around, I just dont want it to loosen up over time but this one I do have by speck is a hard shell case on the outside but a softgray rubber on the inside

Which case should i get?

so im very particular about my case. What im looking for is a case that matches my siler HTC one as well as possible, so probably white and black. I prefer a minimalistic, modern look. I prefer it to feel good in the hand. and lastly to offer decent protection but not be huge and bulky. Here are the cases im deciding between at the moment. but im open to suggestions

I've personally always liked the Speck Candyshell. Durable as hell. Had my One X covered in a Candyshell and it got ejected during a car crash. The case had deep gashes but the phone was untouched.

How much bulk did it add? And how does it feel in the hand? Because it looks like the white is a shiny plastic.

It adds probably 2mm to the thickness. It doesn't feel slippery or anything, they do a pretty good job of making the case fairly grippy.

Avoid clear-ish thermoplastic cases. Just an fyi they will discolor after a few months of use. They are cheap and not bulky, but don't maintain their clear appearance

I have a Cruzerlite Bugdroid, clear case. I discolored in about 2 months, looks nicotine stained, lol. I would recommend the Otterbox Commuter, which I also have.

I have the Cimo S-Line clear case for my HTC One (M7). I've had it for about 4 months and it has not discoloured. I like that it doesn't detract from the sleek look of the phone, yet it does keep it from getting scratched and has enough "bounce" to protect it in a drop and keep the screen raised just enough to prevent contact with the ground. Link to the product on Newegg as well as link to another post I made with pics of my actual case/phone.

Here's my Bear Motion case... not at all the protection of the two you posted but I like a minimalist case that just keeps the phone from the everyday scratches that I can still easily fit in my slacks without bulking up too much. It's got a sweet felt/cork like coating on it. It's very nice in the hands.

Yea if you are somewhat accident prone, then I'd definatly get a heavier duty case. I vote for the UAG case. That's the one I'd go for if I were to get a more rugged one. I'd like the white one, but have heard about camera flash issues with it...

Yeah I have the Bear Motion case as well , I have the blue. And it's perfect if you need a case for grip but not protection. The case looks very well built and is extremely slim. The finish is very smooth but also has some grip to it. For $6 on Amazon I couldn't get a better deal.

Finally an Ultra Thin Case I love - Elago

So, I was looking for a new skin on my phone when I realized that I didn't want to do a wrap. If you're like me, you'll spend $10 and then remove the skin in like a week. After that you'll have to buy another one if you want to go through the process again. I'm not 100% into cases because of bulk and this is a damn sexy phone.
I scoured a few different places looking for a white thin case when I came across this: ELAGO THIN CASE
Here are my pros:
Fit is perfect
Cut outs are exact
This actually feels like it could be part of the phone
Has a Matte White look
Not TPU, its a hard plastic
Lots of compliments just in one day
Cons (Keep in mind, these are things people may not like but doesn't bother me)
Phone is still a little slippery
Buttons are now a bit more flush with the case
Zero lip over the glass to put upside down
The cut outs are exact so accessories are about 1mm from being perfect
I'm going back for the other two colors. This is an awesome case. Does anyone else have any ultra thin cases they can recommend.

Is there a promo code for that one? Kinda high in price.

got this today, it's going back. I have a skin on my phone, the case went on with ease on top of that and was still not snug

I got the Anccer in gravel black:

Preserves "caseless" feel, super grippy.

Do not spend 10 USD for just re-branded case.
Buy the exact same one just for 4USD.

Good call.
Edit: Just went to the link. I just don't like AliExpress. I had problems with them in the past. 20-39 days for a case when I can get it in 2 days from Amazon, meh... I'll pay the difference.

Really? That's a bummer. Mine fits perfect and has no movement. I don't have any sort of skin. I wonder if that's throwing off the fit.

It looks just as good in person.

Needs a top and bottom lip. Put your phone face down and it will scratch.

Nope. User a screen protector.. Cases with lips exist. This is for absolute minimalists.

Just went to the mailbox to get the Elago case I ordered after seeing this thread. I'm coming from the Spigen Slim case and, even by comparison, the Elago is ridiculously thin! I love it, but it definitely needs to be paired with a screen protector in order to keep the phone somewhat safe.

It is probably not nearly as thin as that case, but I usually buy Ringke Fusion cases for every phone I get. I love the way it adds the extra tactile feel to the buttons, and has saved me from many drops even on asphalt and hard concrete. I'm not sure how it is on the S8+ yet as my S8+ is not here yet. but I've used Ringke Fusion cases on OP3T, Nexus 6P, Nexus 6, Xperia Z3, and I have loved it on every phone.

Not even close.

Just a heads up. The Elago scratches and scuffs pretty easily. Not that I expected much from such an inexpensive case but, I've been babying my black Elago and, within 24 hours it already has 4 or 5 long scuff marks across the back. Not a big deal, just thought I'd mention. It would've been nice if they had used the same type of rubberized finish found on the Spigen and Ringke slim cases.

Who sets their phone with the screen down?
