seidio cases coming soon for the galaxy note!

i've had seidio cases on my 2 previous phones and i loved them. fitmet and quality is great and provides awesome protection.
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/7709.htm
i have been wondering if they were going to make cases for the note since it was first launched in october, and i guess they started to work on cases since the at&t note launch. i can't wait!

I loved my Seidio Active Case with kickstand for my Sensation! Trying to decide to jump ship and get this or the Casemate POP! case as I like the kickstand better on the Casemate and the overall feel and protection, but it's a bit bulkier.

I don't understand why they stopped making holsters for "naked" devices?! I've been waiting months on one for my GNex and now waiting on one for the Note. Personally never been a fan of cases on my phones plus I use car mounts from ProClip for both phones which can't be used with cases.

I was waiting for them to make a holster for naked device too..
I talked to the customer service and the one they have now is not for naked devices.
Surprising that no one makes one for naked devices.

ughh I dont like the active case as it adds too much bulk but the bigger thing is when you click the active case into the holster you have to pull the handle back to snap it in because it just gets stuck on the rubber part of the case at the top.
I loved the surface case combo for my EVO and really bummed they are not offering it.

Has anyone purchased this case? I'm going to either buy this one or the case-mate tough case. But I don't know which one to buy!
How thick does this case make the phone?
I saw a couple of "unboxings" on youtube, but they weren't really good.
Can anyone post any images or talk about the case? Thanks a bunch

Speck candyshell vs. Urban armour gear

Debating between these two cases. anyone have/ had both and and prefer one over the other?
stock. sprint sgs3
Edit.. ive read the reviews and all the threads. Just looking for dirrect comparison off the two

I have the candy shell and oh man do i love this case. Makes it feel solid and really good in your hands. I highly recommend it but i have not tried the other case. Im not afraid to drop it and when i have it has help up great!

Thanks
stock. sprint sgs3

Never had candyshell but the new versions of the uag are nice! Im really liking the new tpu material they are using.
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi

I'm also looking at both of these too but I have to buy them over from the US seeing as no stores here stocking them

I owned the Candyshell and it was a good case overall. Solid, but more importantly for me was the awesome tactility the buttons had.
One problem was the black version of the Candyshell looked like crap after about a month, and that is no exaggeration. It scratched up REALLY easy...

Bugger and I wanted a black one too
I was waitting for Element to make a decent case out of those awesome materials they use but then they released a case out of TPU and I've waited far too long.
Looks like UAG it is

Did you consider the following alternative?
acase supperlegera pro dual layer case
Looks good, feel great and protects very nice. It's the one I have. Please read some reviews.

If it is between those two, I'd pick the puregear dualtek. It's 1 piece and very solid, and the white version doesn't get dirty like some white cases I've used.

i have both and the Speck crack on me for the 1st time taking it out the phone to switch to the UAG case, what a waste of money

Let me say this my uag has protected my phone from multiple drops from various heights and has handled my 270 pound friend trampling over it lol I recommend uag all day to people with gs3.

+1. Best. Case. PERIOD.
UAG is the best case I've ever owned in terms of durability to size. I've had cases that offer better protection but that extra protection came at the cost of greatly increased thickness.

Got rid of the Candyshell within 2 months, got the SGP bumper, it looks sexy but something about the buttons... after 2 months, i'm moving on to the UAG. If this doesn't satisfy my for awhile, i'll try out the Duratek.

Here is both of them, i would go with the UAG the Speck crack on me a hour later after i bought, while taking the phone out the case

That's the color of the UAG I just bought! I'm excited for it to get here!
As for the Speck, it was a known issue with the white ones. A couple of bad batches... if you would have contacted customer support, they would have replaced it for free.

Let me email then and see what type of reply i get but I can safely say the UAG case is the best case out so far the Galaxy S3, that case can take the beating while keeping the phone slim and
protected :good:

Its crazy that i just got my UAG case a week ago after reading reviews online but i never thought about looking here. To the OP....you make a good choice with the UAG. Hope you love yours as much as I love mine.

Like a couple of others above me, I have both the Candyshell and UAG cases (2 of the UAG, actually...black and slate blue). I loved the Candyshell and used it for about a month before it just started looking awful (I knew this would happen, though, since I'd had them on my iPhones in the past). Plus, I started getting cracks around the volume rocker and power buttons.
I decided to move to the UAG based on the glowing reviews here. I can say, without hesitation, that the UAG is the best case I've ever had on any phone, period. It will take a beating and still come out looking great and it strikes the perfect balance between protection, looks, and bulk (or lack thereof).
I can't recommend it enough. You won't be disappointed if you get one.

Love my slate blue UAG case.

Lets annoy the crap out of Urban Armor Gear until they make a case for us!

I don't know how many of you guys are aware of UAG, but they make HANDS DOWN the best cases. I reached out to them a week or so ago and they said they have no plans on making a case for the Moto X. That needs to change. We all need to pester them on Facebook and through their website so they can see what kind of demand there is for a case for the Moto X, and I wish to enlist all of you to help me in my quest.
Here is their FB link- https://www.facebook.com/UrbanArmorGear
and here is their website- http://blog.urbanarmorgear.com/connect-with-uag/
- Click the "I have a suggestion" tab and let them know we want a case!
For those of you who haven't been acquainted with their products, here is my review of their HTC One case (which they linked to on their website!)-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274216

If we get them to make us a case I will buy an extra one and hold a giveaway here on XDA! Come on guys, it only takes a second to post on their Facebook!

I'm in we need a uag case for this phone!!

I sent them a shout out. I've been wanting a UAG for a long time, but no love for the GN. In the meantime I picked up a Trident Cyclops that I actually really dig. Picked one up off of eBay for 29.99. I had a Trident Kraken on the GN and enjoyed it. Cases are built well, and offer good phone protection.

That's a slick looking case, especially in blue. Is it as bulky as it looks though?

Sooo... it looks like UAG is going to be making a case for the Moto X after all. They kinda said it without saying it here-
Hi Brad,
We are listening we are launching several new products and designs and are looking ahead. Thanks for reaching out and considering UAG as armor for your Moto X! It seems like a natural match.
Kind Regards,
UAG Support

I don't think we have anything to worry about. When you put their response in context with the email I sent them, it's a pretty surefire thing. I rocked the white on my iPhone 5 and on my HTC One, and I will certainly be rocking the white on my Moto X.
Here was my email to them-
I know I have asked you guys on Facebook if you were planning on making a case for the Moto X and you said no, but I was hoping you guys have taken note of the growing popularity of the phone and possibly reconsidered. I really think you guys will sell a lot of them, considering you make hands down the best cases on the market. Last time around I did a review of your case for the HTC One on xda developers (_MetalHead_) and it was met with an overwhelmingly positive response. Many people purchased the case after reading that review. I will gladly do another review of the Moto X case, should you decide to make one, and I guarantee we will get the same reaction. You guys make a wonderful product, you just need to expand your offerings to cover more devices. Lets start with the Moto X!

So. I was poking around on their site and I found their newest iPhone 5c case: http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/maverick
I do not doubt that there will be, at least, this version for the moto x. Since we have multiple colors, they will look for the most cost-effective way to make a matching color scheme for the case. The best option would be to make a clear one. Although I would most definitely choose white again, I will gladly settle if they only release a clear version.

God I hope that's not all they give us. I NEED a Navigator for my Moto X. I am not a fan at all of the clear one, it completely defeats the industrial aesthetic of their standard case.

Well I am coming from the GNex with extended battery plus Kraken case. That was a pretty bulky phone not gonna lie as you had a layer of TPE followed by the hard plastic. The Cyclops on my X still feels pretty awesome without ungodly bulk, It still is overall a rather thin phone, and I think it fits better in my hands as I have big hands.

I ended up buying a blue one and it came yesterday. It's a decent case but it does add a little too much bulk for my liking. I do like how it maintains a semi-thin profile but I don't like how wide it is. I'm probably going to use it while at work for now, but once the UAG case comes out then it'll probably get tossed in a drawer never to be seen again.

I know the feeling as I have 3 or 4 rugged GNex cases laying around trying to find the right one. I will definitely be trying out the UAG case whenever it hits the market. I just went with the Cyclops as I don't use Otterboxes, and that was about the only rugged case outside of Ballistic. My profession require that I have a rugged case and screen protector at all times.

RINGKE Slim Vs. SPIGEN Ultra Fit (Pictures inside)

So.. I have tried my very best to search if anyone is talking about this in any other thread but can't find nothing on it.
I have the Nexus 4 version of the case and it has done me very well! Although about 10 days ago I broke it cause I always pop it on and off while bored.
The only other case that can compete with this (slimness wise) is the Slim SPIGEN Case.
I don't understand how there isnt a thread on this case nor is there any discussion on it! What gives?
What's your opinions on it? Which one would you choose out the two?
$5.99 RINGKE: http://www.amazon.com/RELEASE-PERFE...qid=1383319011&sr=1-2&keywords=ringke+nexus+5
$ 9.99 SPIGEN: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EV8Y50S/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Personally I'm going towards the Ringke case... its cheaper, thinner and looks a little better.
Maybe I'll be swayed towards the Spegen case from you guys!
EDIT/ UPDATE-
Finally got both cases and two phones to compare the two side by side.
After using both of them for a little bit I have decided the Ringke is the better case.
Reasons: Slimmer, covers the phone more, does not have an air gap on the back (you can press the SPIGEN on the back and it will move)
I had to sand both of them down to get rid of the ruff parts.

These super thin cases are way less popular (especially with the younger crowd) than the flashy "hybrid-like" cases that offer more protection and bling. This was the case with the GS4 as well (take a look at those forums).
I personally love the uber thin cases that offer only scratch resistance (and maybe a little drop-proof-ability) but are like having nothing on the phone and not adding to it's bulk. I have the Ringke slim for my GS4 and on the delivery truck a Ringke slim in transit for my N5.
I was very disappointed with the Spigen neo-hybrid for the GS4 and sold it immediately.
The Ringke slim on the other hand is super solid and more professional looking (if you want to call it that ).
I'm sure the Spigen Ultra Fit (Slim) would be very comparable to the Ringke, it looks almost identical in pics and specs

Glad someone brought this up too. I was looking at these two as well and this is something funny i noticed.
the size comparisons between the two are not consistent. SPIGEN reports a .3mm thicker phone but otherwise its the same size.
I'm leaning toward the RINGKE as well. cheaper if i ordered two of those with shipping than to order 2 of the Spigen and get something else for 1.02$ to hit the free shipping mark at 25.

Why exactly were you disappointed with the Neo Hybrid for S4? I had my eyes on the Champagne Gold Neo Hybrid for N5.
I'm personally not a fan of the Slim series as it doesn't offer protection for the top and bottom of the device. Whereas, the Galaxy Nexus Slim it covered the whole phone 360 and kept its slim factor.

I totally understand about the protection the slim series cases don't offer. It's all about preference indeed.
That said, I didn't like the neo-hybrid because it felt like a gimmick (if that makes sense). In other words it felt and looked like they made a case to just look "cool" rather than making a case to form fit a phone. It does offer more protection than the slim fit cases though. It was also too "square" looking for me once on the phone. Made the GS4 look iPhone-ish to my eyes.
Funny thing though....I sold it to my 17 yr old nephew (well it was free but he paid shipping) and he thought it was the coolest thing since sliced bread. :good:

I like the slimness but the top/bottom exposed is a no-no for me. I really wonder why they decided to go with that design. This is the Galaxy Nexus Slim I was referring to http://www.rearthusa.com/sprint_verizon_galaxy_nexus_slim.html slim factor and top/bottom protected.
Hmm, I guess that is true with the Champagne Gold. I just like the mixture between the two colors. So more or less its just aesthetics/appearances on your part but nothing of the case. I was just reading that the older versions of it have had peoples' outer part of the case to crack. Which was the same case for me when I had the official LG bumper for N4 so that was definitely worrisome.
Haha, I think its a pretty neat case too. Looks nice.

Yup, ya never know when the N5 might take a tumble to the pavement and land on the top/bottom or the screen (ouch)!
Oh I think the neo-hybrid looks great in a picture that's why I ordered it. On my GS4 was a different story. The plastic piece on mine felt like it would break very easily, but I don't know which version I had.
Go for it get what ya want. You can always return it and they're so cheap nowadays you don't really miss out on much by doing so

They're so cheap that its not even worth sending it back with the shipping fee.. plus I'm lazy Neo Hybrid is actually ~$19.99 as of right now.
Can't wait for the accessory party to finally begin and a bunch of nexus 5 videos of accessory unboxing/reviews to appear. It will make our jobs a lot easier.
Its kind of funny seeing Rearth and Spigen practically offer the same case and design and names. Slim/Hybrid, what is up with that anyway?

I thought about that too when I first ordered the Ringke slim. To my delight there is not one scratch on my GS4 (had since launch) caused from the case and I've taken it on and off over a dozen times.
Edit: I will say however, that the case is tough to get off! It's snaps on easily and extremely secure

I like to wash them every week

Yeah I had one on my N4 and went to take it off (like to get the lint off every once and a while) and it scuffed one of the corners. Most people wouldn't notice but it threw my ocd into over drive aft err that lol.

Yeah exactly why I stopped using cases. I never liked cases, prefer naked. But got the slim ringke for my gnex a couple years ago. Loved the slimness but ended up scratching my phone.

I pop my case on and off all the time and it has never scratched my N4. Maybe its just the N4 that doesn't scratch.
The reason I like these slim cases is because it does add much bulk and it keeps the design of the phone some what. I'm the kind of person that has never dropped their phone on a hard surface. Worst surface iv dropped it on is carpet which was from my lap.
I'm thinking of buying both now cause I can't make my mind up at all!

Lol I was a accessory crazy guy in N4. Trying to make my first purchase the most satisfied one and stick with it im leaning towards the Neo Hybrid

Had a ringke slim on both my s3 and s4. Have one on order for the n5 as well.
Really like the s4 case but certainly not for someone that drops their phone all the time.

just ordered the spigen ultra fit soft matte white for my black nexus 5
i hate cases. so much attention and value is dedicated to the aesthetics and build quality of a phone only to be covered up by an uglier case. my gf has an iphone, a really beautiful phone, and she covers it up with the most hideous otterbox. in her case it is warranted because she is a clutz, but it bothers me every time i see it. i liken it to buying a really nice sports car and then covering it up in foam to drive around.
BUT... i've had my current phone for 1.5 years and i remember the feeling when i dropped it the first day i bought it... it felt bad. only a small scratch but i swear i stared at that scratch and rubbed my finger over it so many times the first week in regret. hopefully this case will be minimal enough and good feeling enough so that i will keep it on my phone. but i'm predicting i'll keep it on for about 2 weeks before i decide i just want my phone beautiful and nude.
why spigen over ringke? well first off i wanted matte and second off ringke advertises "world's thinnest case" and then proves it with a picture of a nexus 5 with the wrong thickness measurement. so i had to dock them for semi false advertising.
the spigen and ringke were both $10 for me with shipping and handling included.

Has anyone bought a Ringke Slim case from Rearth and actually recieved their Nexus 5 yet?
How does it fit? Any comments/reviews would be fun to hear. I'm still waiting for both to arrive.

Any High End Cases Coming Out, like ELEMENT for example

i really like this one
http://www.elementcase.com/Sector-5-iPhone-Case-a/302.htm
but a quick google showed nothing like that in the pipeline for nexus 5. maybe someone here knows if something by another manufacturer is coming out? thanks guys.

I honestly can't imagine ANY case being $150(nearly half the price of the dang phone) better than the cheap one I bought on Amazon for 5 bucks.

I honestly can't imagine ANY case being $150(nearly half the price of the dang phone) better than the cheap one I bought on Amazon for 5 bucks.

I see where you're coming from, I'm mostly interested on buying a good tempered glass screen protector. That being said, the most I would pay is $40 US and a decent $10 case.

I like it!
I also like the looks of this case, but I have no experience with this brand. I'm a long time Otterbox user and have absolutely enjoyed peace of mind with a rugged or semi-rugged case on my smartphones in the past. I just ordered my N5 and I'm really looking forward to it as it will be my first Nexus devise but I knew that my accessory options would be limited for awhile. If a decent rugged case does hit the market I'll be all over it though. I tend to use my phones for three to four years so the investment of a high end case is well worth while in the long run. That being said...to each their own...some people are a lot more careful and don't need to worry about everyday drops and fumbles but I'm a frequent dropper.

If element does come out with a case I will probably buy the fake version for 25% of the price tbh haha.

I don't think you'll ever see a "high end" case like that for the nexus phones/tabets since there simply isn't enough demand for the phone/case. Meaning the manufacture(s) simply aren't interested.
For all the millions of accessories out there for the iphone/galaxy series, the nexus line only gets a few accessories in comparison. Couple of bumpers and a few cases of which a lot go by the same design. Nothing to "high profile" or anything.

Dang. That is a sweet looking case!

yeah its sweet alright. for that type of money it should be. i guess i started this thread to see if anyone knew of anything coming out soon for the nexus 5. surely someone could make something around 40 euro that was really well made and looked good. maybe the nexus 5 will sell a lot better than the 4 and manufacturers will be interested.

This +1
Case is there to protect your phone. If you want to spend that much on a case just leave your phone unprotected. Buy a new one with the same money...

The Spigen Neo Hybrid Case and the Spigen Case Slim Armor are really high-end cases.
I've purchased them via Amazon together with the Spigen GLAStR Screen Protector and they look and feel much more high-grade than other cases like the Cruzerlite or the Ringke Fusion.
The Neo Hybrid fits extremely well and the screen protector is awesome.
It's much more smoother than the Gorilla Glass 3 and swiping and touching is just a dream.
Give them a shot if you search a high quality case.

Yep the hybrid case is great! It looks nice the power and volume buttons work flawlessly. My only gripe is the headphone hole. It won't work well for fat plugs like computer speaker plug for example. But since I don't use it that often it isn't too bad.

Is the back not as slippery as many people make it out to be in reviews?

No, it's very similar to the original N5 back.

I've purchased "Pressy - The almighty button" and I think I can't use it with the Hybrid case.

I have the Neo and rate it as simply ok. It will keep the phone from getting scratched and doesn't look cheap and you have the feeling the phone may survive a drop. Or not. And yes, it is more slippery than the bare phone with a poor feel in hand. I also have the Seidio Dilex which is a little better looking and more likely to get your phone through a drop. That one has good feel in hand. There is still some hope that Casemate will come out with a tough case which I would buy in a heartbeat. Easily the best of any of the cases mentioned here all of which I've had in the past.

Spigen has the better looking cases out right now .I'm sure in time their will be more !!
