Hey guys,
I used to post video reviews on the Nexus S and Galaxy S II forums but now that I've gotten my Galaxy Nexus I will start covering cases and accessories for the device. Today I've got the Diztronic TPU Matte Black Case, which is a simple case that hugs your device and offers a decent level of protection. I definitely like the look and feel, and apart from some minor annoyances, it's a definite winner.
Full review below:
Thanks for the review. A couple of questions...first, is the texture of the matte finish similar to that of a silicone case? I'm not a fan of silicone cases as they do not slide in and out of pockets well and also gather lint easily. Second, about how thick do you think the case is? I am wondering if it the phone will ever fit into a dock with the case on which has me confused as to why they would include the cutout for the 3 contact charging pins...Thanks again!

Hi,
The matte texture is similar but not as 'heavy' as the one on silicone cases, which tend to be sticky and tacky. This case slides in and out of the pocket very easily and as I mentioned, shows no fingerprints or dust collection.
The case is probably about 3 mm thick, perhaps a little less.
I'm sure the case won't fit in a dock, however there may be an alternate usage for the pins, we can only hope so!
nice review, how long did delivery take?
Also, what screen protector are you using?

3 days and I am using the included screen protector you get within the package, will get the job done as it is pretty decent but there are better options.
Which screen protectors do you recommend though? I've tried a few here in the uk and they are all ****
I recommend any SGP screenshield. They've got 2 models currently. Sgpstore.com

Just another chime in... I've got this case and it works great on the GSM GN. I like the matte finish.
Like others I'm on the lookout for a nicer screen protector. The included one is just a tad small. Would prefer one that is large enough to slide under the edges of the case.

Do you think it would be possible to cut out a slot ourselves for the volume rocker?
Does the texture of the case make the phone slippery in your hand? I have a TPU case for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 that appears to be made of the same sort of material and it always would slip through my hands because it was a very hard texture. I ended up getting a high gloss tpu case for that which was a bit more grippy. How would you compare this to a high gloss? Do you think it offers a good amount of grip like high gloss or no?
Probably I'm going to buy this TPU skin, is seems to be actually the best (reading opinions in xda and amazon.com).
But i have a question about the screen protector that comes with te case: do it cover all the screen (or is it like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdRSRROffO4 ) ??
Thanks
edit: and, the TPU case is not glossy, true?
this fits both the lte and gsm?

Add another question: are SURE that the Diztronic perfectly fit the GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus? there is no gap also after some day of use?
And are the volume buttons comfortely to be pushed?? (excuseme if you explain all this answer on the videoreview, but i don't understand talked english ).
Thanks
ot: somenoe know if the "TPU-Cases" reseller (the only one that sell Diztronic cases) on eBay is the official shop of Diztronic™ (formerly TPU-Cases)

I have the same case. Very good and a nice complement to the phone.

Screen protector that comes with it is smaller than the phone screen. Lets just say that it leaves 1.5 mm all around uncovered. That's why I have ordered another set of separate screen protectors now. But it gets the job done but I am not too happy with it.
Case is and isn't glossy. Sides and back is matte soft touch coating. However the front border of the case is shiny flexible rubber that looks pretty cool and gives it a high end look.
hope this helps.

Our eBay user id is: post3rs. I am using our case on the GSM version and it fits perfectly. I find the volume buttons to be extremely easy to press, although 1 customer told me they don't agree. In all honesty it might be one of the easiest volume buttons I've pushed on a TPU case.

Wow, thanks for the official support (I've read on amazon the review of the user that say the volume controls are not easy to press, and your answer to him)
Yes, I bougth the case from you, post3rs, it has shipped to italy today (I'm a.delu.59).
Now I'm more happy than before to bought the Diztronic case
I have this TPU case and I like it. The only thing I don't care for most of the TPU cases is while the power button is open, the volume rocker is not, so the case gets in the way somewhat. Now I guess I could get out my xacto knife and engineer my own solution but that's not the point LOL.
I started using the toughcase I got last week since I'm a little concerned there isn't enough TPU material to protect the phone? But...it's definitely thin and unobtrusive and feels good in the hand and it also doesn't block any of the ports. It also doesn't attract dust or pocket lint like a magnet like the toughcase silicone. There are tradeoffs for anything I guess.
I bought this case too, from Amazon, though in the smoke translucent matte version.
http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Tra...UTFO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323792395&sr=8-1
It fits great. It's not loose at all, even though it's on a GSM version. You can read my review on that site.
I'm a bit finicky with my phones though, so I don't put it in my pocket. Too high a chance for lint/scratches otherwise, though scratches would be unlikely given the protection now. Finding a belt clip pouch to fit though was difficult. Especially for the phone with the TPU case on it! Finally got the largest one available at Verizon to work, though you really have to shove it in.
The provided screen protector is missing maybe a millimeter from either side, FYI.
Hi OneStepAhead, Are you going to have the glossy ones up on your ebay page soon also? I tried ordering from Amazon.com but they won't ship to Canada for some reason.
This review is quick and dirty. I was lucky to receive a case from DBA Cases. I didn't think I'd like the case, but I was wrong. There is no bulk and the Thin Grip resolves the slippery phone issue. This case is now my daily. Keep an eye out for a chance to win a DBA Cases Just Like Glass Screen Protector! It's my next XDA exclusive giveaway.

The case is made with the same material found in bullet resistant glass and materials in a F22 Fighter Jet cockpit. I questioned this, but with a little bit of flexing, it was there. The cuts and finish are next to flawless. One of the best I've seen so far. The case does lock in place, so you don't have to worry about it falling offer like other cases.
There is enough room for the edges to keep the screen off the surface you put it down on. You can see that the button cut outs are very generous and easy to use. I would have prefer the logo be on the inside for a cleaner look, but that's just my preference. The soft finish seems to hold up. Hopefully it doesn't peel like other cases.
Using "Olympics" on your order will give you 20% off!
This is one case that I am adding to my personal collection. I'm really like how thin the case is. It's not as flimsy as the Feather cases. I don't see it cracking like they do.
The case is $21.99 at DBA Cases. It is available in Black, Blue Slate, Maroon, Silver and Snow.
DBA Cases also offers an impressive screen protector. Just Like Glass

I have a Curved Crystal on it now. Should be fine. The edges cover up right around the bezel. It may push up some wet application types depending on how close they are.
The Curved Crystal is a bit flimsy and covers up to the edge. So I feel most will fit fine.

Thanks for reviewing our case.
The paint should never peel. We used three layers on it and it covers the entire case - even the inside. I've tried to mark it with my fingernail and it doesn't even mark easily. If it does you can rub it out. We had them done at a special paint factory so get the best coating, they coat the entire case at once - so there are no ridges or inconsistencies.
Most screen protectors should work. We could not have cut the case any further from the glass without having it fall out. It does grab the bezel so there is no way it will fall off accidentally. In fact it takes a bit of effort to get it off (I recommend the bottom first).
It was a very expensive case to make but it's meant to cover a very expensive phone so we didn't take any shortcuts.

Perfect thickness to keep the camera off the table. Just enough room to keep the screen lifted as well.
Key cut outs are way more than generous.

Thin Grip v. Ultra?
I'm inclining to the Ultra for greater protection. My wife is undecided between the Ultra and the Thin Grip. In addition to seeing photos with the blue S3, it would be helpful to (1) see side-by-side photos and (2) compare physical specifications.
Relatedly, if we order, when should we expect delivery (to Greater Boston)?

I had 140 photo's taken just for the white version. I considered doing the blue but then Samsung released another three or four colors. I think the white is the best to show off the true color of the case. There is no way I can put up over 1000 pictures on the site.
We are developing a color chooser so people can see what a combination of TPU color and PC color will look like.
If you need greater protection get the Ultra. It's very light and very nice to hold on to. It also gives you the ability to order for half the price other colors to change the look of the case.
The Thin Grip is for people who don't like cases - after a few days you won't notice you have a case on. It has protection but it's minimal. I actually prefer this type of case myself. However the Ultra turned out so well I carry both of them with me.
The Thin Grip is .4 OZ while the Ultra is about 1 OZ. So we're talking very light.
The Ultra is just a little thicker than the slim grip.
If you pick a color I can take a picture on my fake blue S3. I don't know how close it is to the real color but it's the dummy model used at Verizon. I have only one blue but I do have three whites.
All of the other pictures are on the site. And today Amazon put nearly everything in stock.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Interestingly when we first built the site we didn't anticipate international orders.
However since then we've shipped to the UK, Australia, Israel, Canada and a bunch of others I can't remember because it's 6AM here.
The new site will be far more robust when it comes to shipping. However everything will still ship from our fulfillment center. They are very good at getting orders out the door as fast as possible.
Most of our stuff hit Amazon today - I don't know what they charge for international of if it's even set up. I'll look into it.

Looks pretty good for the money and much less than an Otterbox or Ballistic.

I've used those cases on an s2, s3 and s4, have found them to be a better fit and design than otterbox stuff, after a few knocks the hardshell corners start to break off but at the price they're easy and cheap to replace.

The case is coming from California so I will probably receive it on Friday.
I just received this case in the mail: http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Motorol...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item5af8480586
It was supposed to ship from California but it actually came from Sweden (at least it was postmarked in Sweden).
It fits very nicely around the phone. Buttons and openings line up perfectly. Slipping the case into the holster is difficulty as the silicone part of the case doesn't let the case slide easily into the holster so the phone will be used without the holster. I paid $11.50 Canadian and I think it was worth it.
A case I had back on the S7 they are making for the S10e is
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MQRVRGG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I love that the case is a slim case with a stand so I can watch movies and it easly slide into the hoster and you can rotate the holster 90 as I like it in landscape.
Just though I would share it.
I had a Samsung case included, feels like rubbery plastic I don't like it at all, this has to be awarded as the slipperiest case in the world. Already ordered a Supcase I'll post pictures once it arrives
This one
Ringke Fusion-X Designed for Galaxy S10e (5.8") Case
I have it and love it. Reminds me of UAG case without the price. It's like 12 bucks in Amazon
Samsung Pattern Cover Cases
They come with the international versions free in the box. They have holes all over them, sell them from Samsung Store in Ireland. Seems they won't ship to the USA. Anyone know where I can buy a couple ??
Thank You very much,
Vinny

i found $3.39 on ebay. at first i wanted to try it but then changed my mind. not crazy about X design. I like more plain clear good quality tpu style or 2 layer hybrid. bought a different one for a around the same price with a ring holder. also has holes for a wrist strap.
I ordered spigen tough armor and I like it.

I got the tech21 in smokey black at Verizon when I got the phone. Nothing super special, just a semi-transparent TPU case. Does its job well and looks nice on my blue S10e, but it's just a TPU case, so I'm not sure it's worth what they're charging for it.
Does anyone have suggestions on a S10e case that is Fabric?
I have never had a fabric case but I thought I'd try one out. I can't find any except some really cheap looking Chinese knockoff things.
Anyone got any suggestions?

I've bought this on Aliexpress /item/Original-Samsung-Galaxy-S10-Plus-Canvas-Leather-Case-Cloth-Fabric-Finish-Back-Protective-Cover-For-Samsung/32985661092.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dAMGX9N
(Put aliexpress . com first)
Good quality, very soft, recommended.
But my personal (and the best) choice are the frosted shield from Nillkin cases.
Ressistant, VERY slim, good look, good grip and texture.

Check out MOFI brand case.
It has a soft fabric backing. I got it off Amazon about 15buck.
For those looking for a slim case, check out the Korean brand $10 Araree A Fit cases. The deep blue color is nice and fits the bill for me. They also have the Typoskin model available directly (but shipping is prohibitive). I am waiting for the $20 Araree Typoskin from a Korean eBay seller.
Why the A Fit or Typoskin? I wanted a low profile, business casual look (but not black so it's easy to spot in the dark), protective and not a fingerprint magnet. I used Diztronic for my S7 (which survived many drops on concrete!). I have accidentally dropped the S10e in the Araree A Fit a few times. The blue A Fit has good fingerprint resistance (the clear one might be different). It stays relatively clean all day, except during times when my hands are very sweaty.
Disclaimer: I have gone through (and returned) DOZENS of S10e cases from Amazon. We're a family of 4 with different cases ranging from $10 to $40: the Araree A Fit deep blue on a Prism Blue S10e, the Incipio NGP clear on a Flamingo Pink S10e, the Caseology Parallax black on a Prism Blue S10e and the Gear4 Piccadilly clear/white on a white S10e. I've tried all kind of cases from Spigen, Incipio, Encased, Pelican, Under Armour, Bodyguardz and various other lesser known brands.

I agree, it's a good case and I've tried two different Mofi cases. IMO, the lip rim around the front is a bit too soft/flimsy and not as tout/firm as I had found in other low profile cases (less firm, meaning, it may be less protective in case of drops).

At least from the renders on the Amazon listing, this is probably the best looking for the price, Spigen's Silicone Fit being a close second. Super interested in this case and don't see anything online so some photos of it would be great

Yeah there is no lip with glass protector at all with the MOFI. I have the MOFI, Blue speck, Spigen liquid air and xdoria defense (has a channel so the bottom speaker sound routes to the front instead of bottom)
The speck case is my favorite for the grippy lines it has and it has the biggest lip but the xdoria is nice for the sound routing feature.
I got ringke fusion smoked boarders, from their ebay seller handle, cheaper than amazon

I'm going for soft all the way without regular tpu or silicone touching my hand (for fun)

Yeah I ended up returning the mofi bc there is no lip with a glass protector. The tpu on the edges is nice tho for grip mainly. I doubt there is a fabric that covers edges too.

Let's use this thread to track all the crazy cases coming for the Note 10 and 10+.
So far as I have seen, nothing really exists yet even on Amazon. And they sell cases for iphone 43's.
If anyone has them or knows who is selling prerelease cases, let me know.
Link me to the iPhone 43 please curious to see what it looks like 33 years from now!

Amazon are selling Note 10/+ cases and screen protectors, so are Mobile Fun.
Ordered an Olixar clear case and a pack of 2 tempered glass screen protectors, with delivery for tomorrow.
Just received my 'Olixar' ultra clear case and 'ESR' ultra clear glass screen protectors from Amazon.
What struck me is how minimal the curve of the screen protector is, also no cutouts for the selfie cam or the in display fingerprint scanner.
I'm like a child waiting for xmas, can't come soon enough. Hoping to preorder the gradient white model, 256gb, not sure if too soon for 5g, probably get Note 11 5g next year, when coverage in the UK more universal.
I'm going to stay with the Pitaka case, had it on my N8, S10+ and will get it when the N10+(Or Pro, whatever they call it)
https://www.ipitaka.com/collections/magcase-for-note10
I'm low-key hanging out for a tough case that's clear so I can enjoy the aura glow in all its flamboyant glory... but I'm also picky... and I also pre-ordered a 10+ but I have only smol hands... so I have no idea what I'll actually end up getting. How many days do I have to figure it out? 15?
Is there any word on official Samsung cases?
The official cases are all online now
---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------
I went with the Aura Glow Note 10+ so it's going to be a clear case I'm looking to show off that amazing colour. I'm a fan of Ringke Fusion
I ordered the ESR Mimic Clear Tempered Glass case to show off the Aura Glow once I get it. Had that same case for my S10+ Prism White and really liked it, showed off the color of the phone really well unlike a clear TPU case.

I don't believe so but it's minimal and you can't even tell there is even anything covering the back of the phone...the glass on glass is great. That's what I like about it.
Im waiting on a tech 21 evo check clear case! No micro scratches from dust getting between the case and back glass with the evo check.
Spigen Tough Armor on the way, love that case
@tlbland0426 Have you had any problem with dust getting between the case and phone causing micro scratches? I started noticing it on my s6edge+ being determined at the time to keep the device flawless I never removed the case but found later a million scratches that I later found to be caused by dust.

I haven't noticed any issues like that with that case on my S10+. Now the Spigen I have on my S10 5G has a ton of dust under the case.

I usually start with something simple and practical, and cheap(~$10) and then I'm gonna end up with half a dozen covers collection :laugh: later on anyway.
This one, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VDCN5GJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
is Ok, has slightly risen lip on both ends so you can lay the phone face down w/o contact with the surface. I've used this particular cover on my phones in the past.
What would be the thinnest clear case available? I know it's not out yet so hard to say, but what were the thinnest clear cases for previous phones?
Anyone have a case ordered to have in time for launch day? If so what did you go with?
