I kayak a lot and I'm looking for a waterproof, rugged case that also protects my phone. Does anyone have any ideas?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
I'm not aware of any case for the 3/T that is designed to be waterproof, though some of the bulkier cases seem to offer at least some degree of water resistance. If you're on rapid waters though, I would advise you to use one of those waterproof containers/cylinders instead.

At the very least, the TUDIA Ultra Tough and the POETIC cases have plugs built in that blocks water from getting into the ports.
I'm really looking for ultimate protection without it being too bulky.

What you're looking for doesn't exist... There's always a trade-off between protection and form factor. My suggestion is just to get a normal case that suits you and keep the phone in a waterproof container when you go kayaking...

Just got my new phone in the mail I was going go case-less but its just too pretty and I know I'll ruin it so I'm looking for something lightweight and thin, some protection would also be nice.
Also what is the best screen protector to use with cases?
I can definitely recommend the "casemate barely there" case from future shop. by far the best case i have owned. Barely recognize its there.
I like the SGP Neo Hybrid case.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I think I'll be getting the SGP Ultra Capsule or Silke.
Of my: Otterbox Commuter (awesome quality + protection, but bulky), SGP Neo Hybrid (Meh...), Barely There, and Incipio, I'd recommend the Incipio (1st choice) or Barely There (2nd) for slenderness, quality + a degree of protection.
Screen protector: I can recommend the Phonedevil one that is on Amazon, about £8 for two. Great imo, the reviews on Amazon are also very positive.
Case: Can't really help there, I'm using the Casemate Tough which is good, but thick and bulky
Thanks guys I'll be going with the CM barely there a lot of people recommend it.
Still need to check out the screen protectors you guys suggested.
Nillkin Hard Cover
I recommend the Nillkin Hard Cover over the Casemate Barely there case.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NILLKIN-Har...559046?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f108c22c6
I feel like the Nillkin Hard Cover covers alittle more of the corners of the phone over the Barely There case. Both cases are "barely there" but the Nillkin's got alittle more corner coverage.
Just another option for you...good luck with your purchase!

Had it on my Galaxy S1, and now on the S2. Can't beat them when you want to retain the Galaxy's sexy profile.
I went with the Zagg full body. Protection, and barely noticeable.
---------- Post added at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------
Should also note that if you are using the stock car dock, its tight. Very tight. the zagg allows it to fit without pulling in and out of the case every time you are in the car.
I got the D30 case it's really good... Feels good in your hand..

+1 CaseMate barely there, friend has it, barely notice it, keeps the thinness. If you want a few mm thicker, the Incipio and also the SGP UltraCapsule are TPU, bit more protection than the BarelyThere
I am looking for a quality leather side case. I see lots of cases that protect the phone and snap on to the phone, and that is great, but how do you carry the phone? My EVO has a snap on case, but I have a leather OEM side case that clips on my belt, not a pouch, or verticle hanger, but a nice horizontal, magnetic closure side case that has a quality clip for my belt. Been thru the cheap ones, want one that will last.
I use Monaco cases, They are by far the best cases i have ever used and fit well.

Lilmoney30, thanks, that is exactly what I am looking for!

:good:
I got a handmade custom leather side case from Clay at Maclay Leather -- he charged my $50 + shipping. He's a one man craft operation in PA. I'll put a link in to the auction where I'm selling my old, identical-looking case. Unfortunately for me, that one doesn't fit the HTC once you put a case on it.

I've ordered this one:

And in the past I've had very good luck with tuff as nuts, although they are expensive. If you order the "X" belt system it will absolutely never fall off your belt:

Thank you for your message very, I think HTC phones are very good stylish appearance, the quality of the sophisticated technology, satisfying screen and ringtones are other brands of mobile phones do not have.
I have so far ordered a whole plethora of cases from Amazon and none of the mic holes line up with my Verizon note 4 has anyone found any cases yet that are good that the mic holes line up on

I bought one and am getting my note 4 tomorrow. I already have the case waiting in hand so I can let you know for sure tomorrow.
Otterbox commuter.
Supposedly this one has been updated...

Mine has a hole on either side of the USB port. I assume it's correct but I don't have the phone yet to verify. Regardless, great price, fast shipping and it looks like full retail packaging.

My Speck Candy-Shell Grip case lines up perfectly. I don't think I'll ever buy another case.
My Supcase Unicorn Beetle Hybrid fits really well and mics work perfectly.
Thanks I will Def look into these
Spigen sent me updated tpu's for both my slim armor and neo hybrid. They work fine now.
The Spigen tough Armor case works with Verizon phones. Both mic holes line up perfectly.
the diztronic TPU has the elongated hole to fit the Verizon version. it's a great TPU.

Urban Armor Gear case. You won't regret it.
Could people link to the cases they're speaking of on Amazon?
Edit: I would also like to know about the screen on button, when I first got my note I purchased this Hybrid Holster Combo Case with Kick-Stand & Belt Clip and it seems like it's always turning on the screen and doing weird stuff. Also, the microphone hole does NOT line up.
Does anyone know of a rugged case on amazon for the zf2 that still keeps the curve of the device and doesn't have an ugly belt clip or kick stand? I'm hoping more case options will become available as time goes on.
Define "rugged".
The Amzer TPU case is decent as far as basic protection goes. It follows the contour of the back very well.
The nilkin tpu case is ok...it will provide basic protection, and follows the contours as well. Also has covers for the ports. It won't handle some drops very well I don't think, but I am using it until the more rugged case I ordered arrives. That case does have a stand. It will be a little while before more options appear.

Thanks for the suggestions. I need a case that will protect the phone from drops (it happens a lot around me a lot ). I guess the Amzer will work for now, but hopefully something thicker will appear.
I like that the volume buttons are covered on the nillikan one though. It should make them easier to press through a case.
Bought a nilkin frosted shield black case on eBay. It was dirt cheap and I was skeptical until it arrived. But it turned out to be excellent! With an inclusive screen protector. I love the way it feels. Have a similar one on my Z3.

I am looking for good quality bumpers for A50. And which type of cover would the experts here recommend, those with opening for holes or those which are fully open around the bottom?
At this moment I recommend Nillkin. Also Nillkin 9H glass protector.
Upload nillkin case photos here if anyone buy that product.

I am using only MOFI Shell bumpers (warious colors, not clear) and i am perfectly satisfied (or a NILLKIN Frosted series). They are so thin and really like some shell (MOFI's thinner).
SPIGEN seems like a pretty fat piece of a rubber.

Ok thanks. But do the nillkin frosted series offer good protection? How would you rate it compared to the spigen case.

Hard to tell. I think Spigen may be little better. Nillkin is thinner and cheaper. I use Nillkin for some time on many phones. If some of them got hard drop, then Nillkin case can break but not the phone - it make sense. So the case took the impact. Phone was never harmed.
Matter of a taste. I don't like "truck rubber" on my phone.
Maybe Nillkin Clear bumer are the best choice for someone who want to make phone backward stay transparent.

I was talking about real photos. I want to see how much screen protection do they provide with their raised lips.
I have bought a transparent one on Amazon, Terrapin, i know it is not a brand, but has average quality, better than those on Aliexpress

Sorry I thought you are from India.
In India, Spigen has not launched any case yet.
I have the Ringke, great case, but the back cover of the black A50 does not look so hot with the transparent back of the case. I bet it's fine with the other colors. It looks great otherwise, fits nicely and the phone seems well protected. I had slim TPU before (Mumbi) which was okay, nothing special, but I the Ringk feels much more solid, I have no worries the phone would survive a drop.
All the Spigen cases for the A50 are gone from the website, which is pretty strange because like HTCDevil posted, the Liquid Crystal (which wasn't even on the website) is still available from Amazon in Europe, but not the rugged or slim armors (that were on the website before).
I think the A50 is a killer phone and they will sell a ton of them, which might lead to more cases in the future. I'm very happy with the Ringke at the moment, though.

Which type of screenGuard do you have on your phone? Is edge to edge guard compatible with ringke case?
Do you have black colour case or blue one?
Black case, tempered glass, but not edge to edge, just covers the display.
