Q: Am I still supposed to get a case if I get the leather one? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just preordered the leather G4 from tmobile. I'm currently waiting for it to arrive and I'm wondering how cases are supposed to work with the leather one. I bought it for the leather, I don't want to hide the leather and a clear one would cover up the feel of it. Any suggestions from anyone with a leather one? Do I need a case?

I don't intend to but perhaps a bumper?

I ordered a clear case from Amazong from Rearth for only $6 including shipping and tax:

Same here. I ordered a Ringke Fusion Clear case for those times I need a case. Fits leather and plastic backs.
Examples: Working out, hiking, bike ride, or when my kids are on my phone.

I'm not getting a case, I would rather buy a new back cover if it gets damaged.
Will probably get a screen protector though.

I got a case for my leather back, I found that I was getting a few marks and also because the phone is plastic, it's easily damaged.

What kind of case you got on the leather back?

Seidio Innocase Active?? [UPDATE: Now For Preorder]

I've done searching and all I can find is reviews of the Active LE on Amazon. Does anyone have the Active from Seidio direct? (http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr6hev4-wh.htm) Any reviews people have found on it?
I've been looking at the white one cause I like the contrast on it, any thoughts?
EDIT:
After looking closer online, it seems like they are identical cases, just in different colors. Can anyone confirm this for me?
UPDATE:
Seidio has listed the Active as Available For Pre Order, Shipping 7/16
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4257.htm
The exoskeleton is different. It looks like the LE one from Amazon has fingers that wrap around while the one from the Seidio website appears to have more solid sides with the rubbery part only showing on the top and bottom and all the way around the front.
SnAp..I just ordered from amazon, and I love the sage case from sedio.

That's what it looked like to me though, I wonder if that adds any significant bulk to it. There has to be SOMEONE who ordered the black one from Seidio....
Damn, those on the seidio site are SEXY. Im glad i waited.
O yeah....... LOVING that case. Good find, will be ordering one asap. Probably get black and blue

Don't know if you all saw this yet, but just looked over the Amazon.com website and saw these -

hmmmmmm to many nice ones
I purchased mine from Amazon before they listed them as being in stock and ended up geting it within 3 days of my order so that was cool.
I have the Body glove case, the HTC leather holster/pouch and the Seidio Innocase II Surface holster combo.
The Seidio Active case is by far my favorite and I have not seen anything else out yet that compares. I feel much more confident that my phone would survive a drop in this case than any of the previously mentioned.
It also has a great feel to it. I have the original black one and a Zagg screen protector.
Here's my review
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0mzRJDGx78
Just placed an order for the limited edition on amazon. It said it'll take about a month to arrive which blows. I'm hoping its better than the bodyglove case. I dropped my phone with it and the case went flying off which kinda defeats the purpose. Luckily nothing happened to my phone.

Nice video review, I wouldn't kind trying the active out. Looks pretty study.
Scratch previous post. I'm waiting for the blue active case. Too sick! The white is nice too but I work in a dirty environment so not worth it. Anyone know when the new are ones are going to be released?
Sent from my PC36100
The Amazon limited edition case is the best available atm. I've ordered just about every case available (excluding the cheap $5-$10 ebay cases) and this one from amazon is by far the best. Feels great, durable, slides in and out of pocket well, will not fly apart when dropped. Cant go wrong. I went ahead and pre-ordered the green, blue and burgandy as well.

I have the Rugged Case with the exoskeleton. It is worth every penny. I don't even think otterbox can make a better case. The extra shell does NOT add any significant bulk, and it is very necessary so that the rubber skin doesn't easily come off by just handling the phone.
I also have the holster. (i have the innocase holster. They say it its not made for it, but it fits mine just fine. I bought it before they made a holster combo for the active exoskeleton case)
I bought mine off of Amazon.

Are you talking about the Holster or the Rugged case?
I ask because I preordered the Rugged case from Amazon and they haven't been shipped yet. Just checked out Seidioonline.com and they are pushing the shipping date back until next week WTF!

Well I am using the Silicone case from Radioshack. Provides good protection, but I would like to get my Rugged case for two reasons.
1 - For the "otterbox" type protection
2 - Return the silicone case to "The Shack" and get my $20 refunded

You have a Rugged for the EVO??? How is this possible? They haven't shipped any of them yet. In fact, I canceled my order because, they haven't shipped.
Do you have pics or a review? Are the ports on the bottom covered?

You try to find it on ebay, I think you 'll find a variety of rubber case for your device and the price is quite affordable
I got my girlfriend a Amzer TPU case, I have the same kind on my Tbolt

I bought a $4 silicone case from amazon that seems to be working quite well. It doesnt quite fit as snug as I'd like though, but it keeps the profile small and its easy to get out of my pocket.
Case
Yeah..i think silicon case is better..
I am now using a soft pouch, I think it's better than a silicone case because it protects also the screen and it's not "sticky" like silicone cases are (I always found difficult to put the phone into the jeans' pocket when I am sitting if I use a TPU case)... You could try a pouch and see if you like it
Thanks for the ideas on cases. I have thought about getting one but never sure which are cheap and rip easy or whatnot.

How fat is it? I have a rubber case also but I don't consider it fat. I have not seen any case for this phone also.

I bought a $7 silicone case from my local ATT store and this thing is the best. It fits nice and snug, and is easy to remove if need be. Of course, I wear carpenter jeans so the slight stickiness doesn't bother me. AFAIK tho, I believe they stopped selling it in my area so that may be the case everywhere.
These three cases look nice! Does anyone have them? Which is best?
Amzer Silicone Skin Jelly Case
EMPIRE Black Rubberized Hard Cover Crystal Case
HTC TPU Skin Case (Clear)

$44 in Amazon, kinda expensive... but it does look really good.
I also tried the flip case, it looks sloppy at best, and doesn't protect the metal rims. I decided to go with a simple silicone case and a cheap screen protector. (it's on its way to me)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/400284195721
I tried a matte screen protector, but it was sparkling too much I couldn't use it.
I also tried this case:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/270906380037
but this one was a fake. I'm using this until I get the silicone case delivered. Wife says my phone looks like a couple years old crap phone with this case.

GS3 bumber cases

Here's the deal, I have the Verizon shell combo holster case on my GS3. I'm looking for a good bumper case to replace it. Any good finds without breaking the bank?

You should check out the ballistic sg maxx. It comes with a screen protector & a belt clip. Got mine on eBay for about $25.
check out walnutt on ebay colors are a little limited but i love the case i have the brown and white one

case suggestion

I should be receiving my new device next week :laugh:and I can't decide what case to pickup.
I use a magnetic phone mount in my car so I will have to put the magnetic plate between my device and the cell phone case. That being said anything with a transparent back is out of the question. If the case has legs it would be ideal as well. I work at a desk all day and I would rather not have it wobbling around if I'm trying to use it while it's on my desk.
I have used a UAG case on my S5 for the past two years and I was very happy with it. Right now I'm considering the TUDIA Slim-Fit HEAVY DUTY [MERGE] Extreme. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Looking for a case as well, and I also use a magnetic mount in my car. I was wondering if, since the phone's back is all metal, do I even need the plate between the case and phone?

That's a good point. I guess we will find out soon enough!
The TUDIA case I mentioned above is a 2 piece case so I was planning on putting the metal place between the two parts of the case that way the metal plate doesn't have to physically touch my device.
Otherwise I'm probably going to at the very least place a small piece of paper between the metal plate and my device to prevent it from scratching the rear of my device.
Aluminum generally isn't magnetic, and I'd be slightly afraid to put a magnet right onto the phone and risk damaging some internals. I'm going with the Spigen Neo Hybrid, and will likely put the plate on the phone itself as well.
I have ordered these two. Always used spigen on my devices. Also ordered a full tempered glass protector. After reading on the protector its compatible with case's. Screenshots attached for easy reference.
Generally I prefer clear case and put some good pictures on the back.
all oneplus3 accesories are compatible just goto oneplus3 forum and check it out

I ended up ordering the Spigen Neo Hybrid as well. I will let you guys know it fits with the metal place once I receive it next week.

I watched a YouTube video and they made it look like a breeze. But to get it perfect I think would be very difficult and stressful. But when successful it's well worth it in my mind. One imperfection would just flip me out

Let me know if the screen protector fits.
Already have the spigen case, just not sure if it works with the curved screen protector.
I went for OnePlus 3/3T Karbon Case. Really liking it. Also had ebony wood and sandstone case for tests. Ebony wood simply would not fit, however sandstone was very bulky in comparison to Karbon Case + I don't like how the sandstone feels in hand.

I got the ebony case for the 3T and not liking it. It's kind of hard to grip with the case on, sharp edges everywhere. I'm using it without a case now which is much comfortable and grippier. Don't know how much pain it's returning the case back for refund but will try that and look for a different case.

I have a friend who bought and likes the Spigen Neo Hybrid case, and I bought the OtterBox. I personally prefer the OtterBox, but the Neo Hybrid case looks pretty nice too.
Picked up the Cruzerlite Spartan case for my 3T. Got it yesterday and seems like it'll be a good rugged case. It's also not to thick. Get to try it when the phone finally gets here tomorrow.
Edit: posted the onepluse2 case but they do have it for the 3T also.

I usually go without cases but with the camera bump on 3T it makes me too cautious when putting down the phone on the table. Original Karbon Case does not create too much bulk as its quite slim and in the same time it does protect the camera and actually it has bumps on the front (corners) so you can put it face down too and not worry about scratches.
I bought Ringke Fusion. Awesome case. It has nice clicky buttons.
