Oh, in the UK.
Anyone found any without any patterns/frosting/colours which were quite minimalistic like the following:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/FoneM8®-Inc...d=1380384371&sr=8-1&keywords=htc+one+gel+case (HTC One)
I think there is one which is plastic, but I hate those in that they can scratch the phone when putting it on/off.

I got one and I hate it. The fit is not perfect and there is some give and squeak on the left side. There is a cutout beside the camera for no reason whatsoever. There is a cutout on the bottom back for the Xperia logo that is pointless.
The edges are sharp and easily gather dust and skin cells.
I'm waiting for a poetic atmosphere to be released for the Z1 since I loved it on my HTC One.
100% clear case? Even glass (which comes close) has its imperfections, however, I doubt you will find a case that is glass, no such thing you will find!
Neither Perspex, poly-carbonate nor Poly Urethane will give you 100% clarity, your request is unreasonable.
Its 100% clear....are you sure..my friend....????
As this is the first time I am getting to know about such thing which is 100 % clear...well one of my friend use this jelly case for his iPhone...just look at it once and do u feel It is too somewhere around 100 % clear...or how much percent you can give it on behalf of clarity...???
this is what im using. its pretty nice and i can still feel the phone quite a bit.
if you are getting a quality phone whats the point of covering it will thick covers and all you feel is cover.

This case looks rubbish after just a couple days of use. It scratches super easily and I would not recommend it at all.

After using IMAK for a month I got really sick of it. The case has so any scratches you can barely see the phone through. I received Love Mei aluminum bumper yesterday my review is up on YouTube. I really like it so far... even though it does make the phone feel like a square block. I don't think there is a perfect case out there yet. I had Krusell Colorcover before for Xperia Z and the paint comes of and the plastic breaks after a month of normal use. So if I was to choose right now I think the aluminum bumper is the way to go. Then buy a screen protector sticker for the front and back and that should keep you lr phone safe.

Krusell is nice and thin but it wears out very quickly (at least in the case of Colorcover). Do bare in mind that Krusell offers lifetime warranty so once your case breaks you can just send them a proof of purchase and pictures of the broken case and they will send you a replacement. They have sent me 2 brand new cases when my colorcover broke. I put them up for sale though
Ended up getting Terrapin clear soft plastic case £2:99 from Amazon like it. Power button a bit harder to press not too much bulk and nice grip. Goes nice with Glass m screen protector

TERRAPIN : Sony Xperia Z1 TPU Gel Skin Case / Cover
Comes with a ringing recommendation. How's that volume button and access to the magnetic charging ?
Volume seems fine. Hole there for magnet charger access but would need to be a bit longer? Not sure. Would need a good quality one not a cheap one? I cut my cheap one but still not very good.

Hello, i have my Nexus 5 but i have a little question.
In your opinion, what is the best case :
http://www.spigen.com/nexus-5-case-ultra-hybrid.html
or
http://www.rearthusa.com/google-nexus-5-hybrid-fusion-case
I have already looking for these case on forum but i dont find good or bad comment.
What do you think?
Ignoring the 87 other posts regarding these 2 cases. I have the Rearth. It's nice. Doesn't fit perfectly with dbrand skin and xoskin says more good about tolerances than bad.

I have the ringke fusion, its really nice and slim, my phone already felt from hand height and nothing happen and that's what I expect from a case...
Envoyé de mon Nexus 5 en utilisant Tapatalk
I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid.
I don't like how it makes your phone feel bulky and too big to fit in my pocket. It also weakens the magnetic pull of my InfiniApps Slyde CD Mount due to the clear plastic backing being really thick.
On the plus side, makes it feel like your phone is a tank and can take any drop.
Thanks you
+1 for the Spigen Ultra Hybrid!! Just got it today. Love the feel of it. Love the look of it. Definitely recommend this case. If only I got it a few days ago before I dropped my nexus and cracked my screen...

You'll like the fusion, then. The button feel is perfect.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I was trying to decide between the two as well and ended up with the Fusion because of the button feel and being slightly thinner. I'm pretty happy with it so far, the button feel is the best of any case where there aren't cutouts for the buttons that I've ever used. Only one small complaint is that the edges of the case are kind of sharp but it really isn't bothering me that much.
I have the Ringke Fusion. I had it for my N4 as well which I liked so I figured I'd get the N5 version. Overall a pretty good case, although like cee-ach said the edges of the case are kind of sharp (wasn't like this on the N4). It's a bit annoying for me, mainly because I use LMT launcher, and when I swipe from the right edge of the screen my thumb always makes contact with the edge of the case.
I haven't tried the Ultra Hybrid but I ordered it a couple of days ago. Kinda wishing I ordered the Spigen Slim Armor instead.
Got myself the Ringke Fusion Hybrid Hard Case. Extremely light while also providing a high level of protection from bad drops and scratches. Definitely worth the $13. The only issue I have is that just below the power button side, the casing seems to be slightly loose although that didn't make any difference to the protection provided by the item itself.
Anyone else having the same issue? Any way to fix it?
My review score: 8.5/10
Would have given a 9 if not for this minor issue but it doesn't take away much
Does the ringke fusion fit snug? I heard that the spigen ultra hybrid is a bit loose and dust will collect inside the case.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk
I ended up getting the Ringke Fusion and I love it. It's very thin and light. Compared to my other case (Spigen Slim Armour), the Fusion feels more "naked" (as if I wasn't using a case). So far I've been using the Fusion a lot more now that I tried them both for a week.
Just wanted to add I've been using a Fusion Hybrid because it has solved an annoyance for me. Case-less my N5 was vibrating violently at high speaker volumes and that has completely disappeared since using the tightly fitted Fusion. Also my Shure earphones fit just fine so for those reasons I'd recommend the case.
It does have a bit of edging work that isn't 100% smooth and the headphone slot has a gap which can let in dust at the back. However that is probably why headphones fit properly.

You're right about the buttons. They are perfect. However, the rest of the case, I'm not too impressed. I have the same complaint as others about the sharp edges. It's really uncomfortable to hold it to your ear. I may try the sandpaper to knock down the edge a bit. I like that the USB port does not have a gap to the inside of the clear back but still wondering why the headphone jack does. Overall, not bad at all for an $8 case.
If Spigen fixed the buttons on the Ultra, I'd be back on that case in an instant.

I own both and they're both essentially identical, but if I had to choose it would be the Spigen because it's slightly better. I don't use either of these however.. I miss my UAG case and the closest thing to it that I could find was the Spigen Slim Armor.

My experience is quite the opposite. I wasn't happy with neither of two cases mentioned in this thread and I'm now using the slim armor. Not sure I agree with you on the "nakedness" and the slim armor basically adds no more bulk to the phone than the other cases do... I definitely feel a lot more comfortable with the slim armor case since it's not slippery.
read all reviews
all are mixed reviews.
cant decide
Having problems with spigen hybrid case keeps pressing power and volume buttons on its own, keeps making bug reports some how

are there any other alternative cases exposing the back worth considering?

edit:
what about the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Case, any good?
Got this case on Monday and have been using it since. While the color isnt quite what I want for an everyday case it does feel and look nice. All the buttons are exposed as well as the charging port. Haven't noticed any flash bleed. Has a slightly slick feel but not enough where I feel like it's going to fall out of my hand. I'd definitely recommend it to someone looking for a slim case.

Zukin Wine Red Poly Case Xperia Z1
Hi guys,
Just received my Zukin case and I have to say its really nice, very thin but seems that it is sturdy enough, all corners are covered and fits nice and snug. It has a good feel grippy enough but not too harsh if holding for a long period. Only one thing, there is no hole for a lanyard to fit through, which for me is..... I just like to have a lanyard for security especially when taking photos, but this does not reflect on build quality. Overall, great price and look from Zukin.
I got one of these from their ebay store. Quite like it.

Hi!
Has anyone here encountered a skin for this phone? And when talking about skin, I mean products similar to Dbrand-skins. I'm not extremely happy with carrying my phone in a case as it's much more beautiful without it, but still, I want to protect the back aswell as it won't be as slippery. And if not, how does the Z3+'s back compare with the regular Z3 in terms of dimensions? Could it be possible to buy a Z3-skin? I would prefer using Ebay if there are anything for our phone, but I welcome everything
I bought one from AliExpress, and coming now. I can't tell the quality or design exactly since I didn't get it yet, but it is cheap so you ma ybuy one if you like.
2Pcs/lot Premium Clear Protectors Back Cover Transparent PVC HD Back Film for Sony Xperia X XA Z Z1 Z2 Z3 Z4 Z5 Z5 PLUS MINI
http://s.aliexpress.com/BvYF3iEZ
I also bought one from AliExpress. It is "Nillkin frosted cover for Xperia Z3 plus Z4". It is good quality and fits very well.
If you want like clear TPU case, it should be "NILLKIN Ultra Thin Transparent Nature TPU Case for Sony Z4".
NILLKIN is well known quality brand. So hopefully you won't face any problem and will be happy.
Why don't you buy a tempered glass from amazon? I tried some manufacturers and i must say they are all good quality and you can buy it for the front and back

I can heartily recommend these. A tad pricey at €19 and I'm not sure how much shipping costs abroad, but I have the walnut one and it's fantastic. Looks and feels great and if you apply it correctly (which is super easy to do) it looks like it's part of the phone and not an aftermarket skin. Plus you can add free engravings!
Hello,
Could anyone recommend a great VERY thin (semi-)hard case for the s8+.
As I don't want to make the phone more bulky than it is, I'm really looking for the best thin hard case out there.
I don't want 100% TPU cases, as they do not reflect the wanted quality + they just feel bad in hand.
Ringke fusion I used it on my S6 edge plus and I have it ordered for my S8 plus. It's very slim so it allowed the beauty of the phone come through. It has enough protection for me.

nah, I always run a slim case, usually spigen cause I don't like the rignke design. Out of probably 5-6 years of cases like this and many many phones I've broken one and it was a really stupid situation.

I'll get a more protective case for work, but outside of work I like as minimal as possible. I'm really careful with my devices. Never dropped a phone, so hopefully that will continue.
Thanks a ton, all. Great suggestions! I have yet to decide by EoB, as tomorrow my phone will arrive!
Spigen 100%
Liquid Air
extra thin but great protection
or
Rugged armor
slightly bigger but much bigger protection
I hate thick cases, but i also hate cases that are too thin and useless. I have always been happy with Spigen. You should be able to also find them on Amazon.
After a lot of searching and comparing; I have ordered the Spigen Thin Fit case in black for 14.99 eur including shipment costs.
I would have opted for the coral blue color, but could not find it for a fast belgian delivery (by tomorrow). This case seems to cover all my needs:
Raised edges
Ultra thin
Hard case
Decent quality and grip
The design is quite standard.. but OK for now.
