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.

Haha, my guess is your finger can't reach all the way down?
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.

[REVIEW] SGP SPIGEN Ultra Lumi Bumper. (HQ Pics Heavy) Must see++

Have you been looking around to find the most beautiful case for your s3? I have got you covered. I have found the perfect case for the Galaxy S3.
This is a review for the SGP Spigen Bumper Ultra Lumi series. I have ordered this case before three weeks and it arrived today. As you can see from the photos, the packaging for this case is pretty good.

Once you order this case, you get the following items: 1. Case 2. Front protector 3. Back protector 4. Cleaning cloth. Normally you have to pay at least 10 dollars to get a decent pair of front and back protectors, so its a positive thing that they are included for free.
Now, lets have a look at the case. First thing i have noticed is the slim factor of the case. It looks beautiful and most of all: it looks premium. Although, if you touch the case you get that plastic feel. I dont see this as a bad thing, because it gives you at the same time the feeling that this case will do its job: to protect your investment.
As you can see from the photos, the cut outs for the usb, headphone jack, mics are perfectly lined. The buttons, both volume and power, are made of plastic. This is a good thing because its far more easy to press them from other tpu cases out there.
Also, this case has edges on the front and back of it. If you lay your phone on the table, its still protected because of these edges. Same thing goes for the front of the phone. You are protected because of these edges, so if you drop your phone on a straight floor, you are protected as well.
Now lets move on the negative side of this case. The price is little high for some people but notice that this case is one of the most beautiful cases i have ever seen (and i have seen a lot). Moreover, when you are holding your phone with this case, it doesnt have that anti-slippery feeling, that other cases give you. I dont care very much about this because i know that this case will protect my phone in every days situations.
Finally, I highly recommend this case to every s3 user in this forum. However, i dont think that it will look as great in the pebble blue s3. I am sure that it looks fantastic on my white galaxy s3 with my aluminum brushed back cover.
If i could give a rate to this case, i would rate it: 4,5/5.
Here's the pros and cons:
Pros: 1. best looking case for my taste 2. very good protection 3. easily accessible buttons
Cons: 1. pricey more some people 2. not having that anti-slippery feeling.
I hope you liked this review. If you find it helpful, hit thanks.
You can buy this case on:

Have a nice day everybody.
10/11/2012 ***UPDATE*** I emailed SGP Spigen and asked them when this beautiful case will be back in stock, and this is the response i got:
"We are still unsure when we will be receiving new shipments of the Ultra Bumper from our manufacturers and they haven't given us an ETA yet.* As soon as they inform us, I will be sure to send you an email".
So anyone who wants this case, HOLD on

Just got mine yesterday in Infinity White. Top quality make and feel. Loving it so far

Have you try this bumper with the brush aluminum back? The brush aluminum back is thicker than stock so I wonder if it will be a very tight fit. I have 2 tpu bumpers from eBay and it stretch too much with the aluminum back.

Quick question, the white portion of the case, is it hard plastic? Reason I ask is none of the colors look good to me and I'd like to apply a vinyl over it to change the color. Do you think a vinyl would even stick reliably to the white portion?
Thanks for your help ahead of time.

yes it is plastic and i think that a vinyl will applied nicely to the case BUT i dont recommend to do so if you have the white s3, because i think that the case is beautiful as it is. its my opinion but its your decision

Looking for the best SLIM fit case.

Hey guys, there's so many cases on the market, I really can't decide on what to buy. I'm looking for a few, definite things that I must have, however :
Must be as thin as possible
Easy installation (no glue spraying or wetting, etc)
Must come in either black or silver
If someone can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks.

After trying incipio, greatshield, diztronic, and Nilkin, IMO Nilkin is the best slim case and thats the one I kept finally.

I have a Baseus translucent case. While it looks great because the top and bottom are exposed, I dropped my phone and guess where the impact was?

Neither did I but I guess some of the ones like Ghost Armor require some sort of adhesive and knowing me, I'd totally screw that up and bork my phone.
Anyway, I ended up going with the Poetic Atmosphere case, I hope it's as good as it looks, and it does have very good reviews, so I hope it was worth the price. But it wasn't that much anyway, if I don't like it I will probably just trade it.

Rock has a good line of super thin cases. I'm using a black one and it looks outstanding on the black phone. Only thing is, since it is so thin, it is more of a scratch guard than a drop guard. Aside from that, I can't recommend it enough.

I'm currently using the Incipio Feather. It's pretty thin and fits the HTC One well, but the only problem I have is that the volume buttons are a bit inaccessible if you are pressing the buttons with your right index finger.

I love my incipio feather shine. Just make sure you get the one with the revised cutouts. The regular feather is not an issue. But the shine had a 1st gen style without a proper cutout for power cord. Revised version has power cord cutout and SIM tray cutout added to it. I'm sending mine back tomorrow for the revised version. Already have an rma for it. Case is amazing though. Incredible look and feel. I've had about 5 people ask me. "are you going to get a case for it ?" Then I tell them.. umm.. that IS the case. and upon closer look they see that it does intact have a case and it is not part of the phone.

There are quite a few people that consider things like ghost armor, zagg invisishield, and skinomi full phone protection as a sort of case. I believe this is what the Op meant.

Are the revised cutouts in reference to the partially blocked access to the volume buttons?

I agree the nilliken is probably the best thin case i've ever used. Comes with a decent screen protector too.
I really cant wait till june for one of these new aluminum bumpers from devilcase. never used one but i think it fits all of my needs. Should protect much better than a slim..

dont know for sure but i think it'll be close. because of the way this phone appears to curve is why im unsure. I actually have a clear zagg on the back of mine though and that turned out great. The front zagg didnt make it but the back has been on since launch, cant tell its there. Ask me again in june if you're interested
Another thing i'm unsure about is if the aluminum will affect the radios. HTC made the sides with plastic because of reception. The aluminum bumpers will cover that.

this case fits great. I use it over my spigen clear.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Clear-Ultra...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item41726f2a24

Must say i love the Poetic FlipBook Case.

Poetic Atmosphere Case or Cimo Grip Back Case Flexible TPU Cover?
Or would anyone else care to recommend a clear, slim case for the HTC One.

[Glass Screen Protector][TRUGlass]Cruzerlite Glass Protector Thread

This is literally a copy+paste from my post on Google+ find that one here with lots more photos - https://plus.google.com/103184848438617607889/posts/eg5ALeSq6uG
So I've been super busy these past few days but I wanted to share with everyone something I got for my #Nexus5 from +Cruzerlite ... This is _my_ mini-review of the Cruzerlite #TruGlass screen protector and a mini-comparison with MIMEUSA's Ghost Glass...
*Initial remarks*
At first glance you can see that its a very nice quality protector... Unlike the +MIMEUSA #GhostGlass I had on my phone previously, this one is flexible glass and not just tempered glass... Both are made of actual glass but the MIME glass is more rigid and doesn't bend much at all... From what I hear, the TruGlass is made from the same material that the Samsung Round and LG GFlex screens are made up of... So its quite flexible but not flimsy like a normal plastic screen protector would be...
*Installation*
Installation was mostly easy because I followed the directions even the hot shower to grab any loose dust lol... When installing, its probably best to peel back the whole plastic film on the application side and reattach it about 2/3 or 1/2 to the glass... This will help you center it easier w/o having to lift it off once the glass is down... once its on there, the bubbles are easily squeezed out with some light pressure to each area with them... Installation done and you're ready to enjoy
*First Impressions of it installed*
I was immediately not happy with it and I'll tell you why... I have self-diagnosed OCD and I like for things to line up perfectly... This is why I prefer Cruzerlite vinyl skins and their precise fit as opposed to DBrand skins which leave huge gaps on the edges and even side pieces… But my main gripe with this protector was that it didn’t go all the way to the top/bottom/left/right edges… I contacted Cruzerlite and they assured me this was intentional to ensure perfect fit with their cases… I was initially not happy with that answer considering I’m a minimalist person who doesn’t like cases covering up the beauty of my phone… Then I decided to actually try them with their cases and placed the order to which they shipped REALLY fast considering nothing really happens on the weekend for most businesses…
*Impressions with Cruzerlite TruGlass + Cases*
WOW, such a great fit and makes perfect sense with the way the glass is cut… No issues installing the cases and its a very nice/snug fit on the phone…
*Final thoughts*
I’m not as unhappy with the screen protector as my initial impressions and in fact its hardly noticeable without a case on the phone and certainly not noticeable with a case on the phone… I can’t judge on lasting quality but I can say its a great buy if you’re looking for a glass protector that doesn’t have too much added thickness and one that fits well with cases…
*Recommendation*
BUY IT NOW!!! lol http://goo.gl/WZU9ua
On with the pics of this all
Oh and the one shot of just the glass with a brown background shows a lines up comparison of #TruGlass vs #GhostGlass
*Edit - Added link to cases*

yes, in the OP is a link to the post with pics of it installed with the case!

Flexible glass ?? Couldn't find any endurance/drop test reviews. So I'm doubtful on their ability to provide shatter protection for the screen if dropped. Personally I think a good tempered glass protector or something like a Rhino Shield would be a much better option for $30.

That can't be glass. It's must be a different material. Mime is the only one that actually feels physically like glass

true but its still glass lol... did you see the video of the LG G-Flex literally bending flat? that's also glass and it bends... did you see that new Samsung TV that bends at the push of a button?
point is, just because it bends doesn't mean it doesn't provide protection...

Here is a video review of truglass

Mine arrived in the post yesterday, I fitted it today.
This thing is certainly a premium product, it feels and like there's not even a screen protector fitted. Only if you look carefully by the ear piece you can see it. Its so smooth and its really nice to touch, slightly expensive but we will see how it fairs against the test of time. I used an invisisheild before I don't think I'll be using those again, its a floppy sticky bit of plastic.
My only small gripe with this is there a few tiny tiny air bubbles I can't seem to get out with the squeegy and I can't see any dust particles in there. Il try and add a photo later

Has anyone used these without a case? I'm wondering if the edges are less prone to chipping if they don't go all the way out to the edge of the phone

Same here. I'll be interested if I can use a glass and be case free? Do these glass protectors protect from the main glass actually breaking?

Tudia slim TPU case review

I pre ordered the Tudia case from Amazon.com on Sunday Aug. 3rd and received it on Wednesday August 6th.
Inside the small bubble envelope, I found the case. It was packaged in plastic like many other Chinese cases. It even included a cardboard dummy phone with Chinese writing.
I tore into the plastic and found that despite the cheap container, the case is fairly nice. It isn't very thick and barely adds any overall thickness to the phone. The back of the case feels a bit like velvety rubber, and on the top and bottom ends the plastic is glossy and smooth.
The holes on the case match up perfectly with all of the holes on my device.
The front lip of the case sticks out far enough to protect the Screen when the phone is face down.
The buttons line up nicely, and are easy to press.
I bought this case because I needed a tough case for work. Unfortunately, this case is no different than any other TPU case that I've owned. It seems that it will provide enough protection for day to day things, but if you are looking for extra protection, look elsewhere.
Overall, I think the price is a bit high for what I got. The case looks nice, but I'm a fan of the sandstone back that comes on the phone and if I'm going to cover it up, I'd prefer to cover it with something with more protection. Also, the case is a bit more slippery than the original back of the phone. The phone offers no more protection than any of the 99 cent cases on ebay.

Thanks to info from Charlieb620 and Knight-Rider, it has been confirmed that this case works well with a tempered glass screen protector. To see photos, go to this post...

Will it play well with a glass screen protector?

It appears to have enough room for a glass screen protector, but I can't give you a definite answer because I haven't tried it. There is a very small gap between the lip and the screen. I suppose it depends on the thickness of your screen protector.
Others will be receiving them today and tomorrow and someone will probably chime in with your answer.

Thanks for the review!
Ordered that same one yesterday and one of those aluminum bumpercases the day I got my invite - of course neither will show till next week I'm guessing
So far the only issue I have found getting a new phone from a small company is lack of accessories, the ones I'm finding aren't exactly what I want but will make due.
Just hope more options show over the next few months!

No problem. I'm hoping someone offers a more rugged case soon. I just recently got my one plus one also and I've found it hard to get nice accessories. I'm sure I'll jump to the next big thing in a few months though. This is my third phone this year, so it's a trend lately.

Nice review....
Can you resize your photos?

How are they showing up? I did all of this on mobile and they came out fine. Are they insanely huge on the desktop version? I can get online and change their size shortly if so.

They're big but I like it that way, we can get to see more detail.

Hopefully they are somewhat clear. I took all of them except the last few with the One camera. It doesn't seem to be as clear as my note 3 camera, but I'm still trying to learn all the bells and whistles. I like this phone though.

Pictures look great. I'm waiting for my Diztronic case, it arrives tomorrow. Planning to have any developmental projects for the OPO?

Thanks! Maybe so. I have a few things I'm working on for all devices. I develop apps mostly, but all this "theme" stuff has piqued my interests.
Aside from that, I'd really like to join a ROM Dev group and work with other developers.

I received both my Tudia and glass protector.

It does i have the same case with tempered glass and the case wraps around the top. Extremely nice fit with no issues.

Yep, I didn't want to complain about the injection nub on it, because I don't know if it is possible to make them without it, but it is noticeable for sure.
