Anyone have a suggestion for what kind of case will give me the rubberized feel that the HTC phones have (their backplates). Or if you can't think of a specific case, what kind of material I should be looking into>
I don't want a gel case I think cause its too rubberish and stick and hard cases are just bad. What's a good mix in-between?

Just look down before you start a new thread.
I did read all of that before posting. Unfortunately I am looking for a full-fledged case, not a skin or coat I put on the phone. I want something that will protect the phone from a full drop which is not a gel or hard case.
I have this one, it's a hardcase with rubber coating similar to G1, plus perforated holes for better grip. Best looking case in the market at the moment IMO.
"Mesh" case for i9000
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730699
vuvsion I have been following the forum very closely. I know of these cases and was considering getting one for the LONGEST time. They DO look great. But if you drop it, your phone is ****ed. It doesn't cover the edges. I don't really care its backplate (i can replace that easy enough). The sides though, are not replacable.
The mesh case covers the back but not the edges. It's pretty but not drop-proof. Do you know of anything LIKE it that covers more of the phone. Cause that would be perfect.
Perhaps one of the case-mate cases would have that same feeling, but since it's still in design stage, it'll take awhile for them to release anything.
Do you know if Case-Mate is even working on a model for the Vibrant/Galaxy S? I just looked at their site and they have VERY few cases for past Samsung phones.

Yup saw that like 3 minutes after posting. Voted on their case-mate forum too. I just hope it doesn't take a month for them to be out.
The body gloves are quite nice

I am wondering 2 things:
1. Would a skin on the back make the phone less slippery?
2. How does the Skinit Atrix skin wrap? Back only? How is the fit? Do wrapped corners unwrap over time?
Anyone that can answer 1 or 2 - comments are appreciated.
I would love to hear about other skins, but please don't tell me how great cases are. I really dislike all cases - I tried the Incipio and the Body Glove - and even their feather light products are to much for me. I am not looking for protection, only more grippiness. And i saw the thread about spraying the back with plastidip.
Anyone try any do-it-yourself solutions with contact paper or vinyl?
Thanks for any skin information anyone has.
I just received my Zagg invisible shield, full body for my atrix, and it certainly does make the device less "slippery" in your hands. I like it.

I did the zagg full body on my cappy, I thought I did good but it started peeling up about a month later :-(

I ordered 2 skins for my Atrix from Skinit.com and was very unhappy with them. The skins just don't cover enough of the back of the Atrix to look nice, IMHO. It just looked like a sticker placed onto the back of the phone, with a good portion of the edges on all sides of the phone not being covered.
I was so unhappy with the way it looked that I ended up not using either of the skins I ordered from them.

I generally like to have multiple cases for my phones. I have bought a couple of cases already without having the phone and would like to know which one you guys think is the best. These are the cases I have bought:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/37056726677...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_4251wt_1219

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0067I0A04/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
I havent heard many good things about the popcase that it may not provide enough protection. It looks cool though. I have the toughcase but its a dust magnet for starters and the silicone also gets in the way of my screen protector (zagg) at the corners. I have a diztronic tpu case and i like the fit of it better and its thin enough to not be too noticeable. So far i like it best but im still waiting for something better....like otterbox?
Yes, I can not wait for the otterbox. I also found a case for other phones called Sillicrylic (I think thats how you spell it) and that looks like an awesome case!
i think nude is better!
Hi, before I get my SGN i had a Desire HD with PoP case !
And I was very satisfied with it
Thank you, I just noticed that one of the ebay links is actually 7 cases, which is awesome so I can switch it out. I will let you guys know which one is best when I get them.

I have this one, and for £1.89 I think it is pretty fantastic. Looks and feels great!
Nay to all of the above
Why hide the Google design. If you look at the use of the phone, the corners are the most hit, so a bumper design is the best. the cases in this post like others I've found are thick and bulky for no real benefit.
iPhone is the best example of what we need.
"Can't paste the link as I'm too new but refer to Ebay "iPhone 4S bumper"
We need to push this design before making out pockets bulk up...
GNex Bumper case DIY
I made a simple DIY mod to turn a cheap case into a Bumper case.
Search instructibles.com for 'DIY Bumper Case for Galaxy Nexus' and it will come up.
I would like to keep my phone without a case but the fear of dropping or body wear would get under my skin.
I have a diztronic currently and I'm also ordering some cruzerlite cases.

I have a case obsession as well and have many for the Gnex. My latest is the otterbox commuter, which I really love - though its noteworthy that many people do not like this case. A good one as well is the Trident Agesis - I am waiting for this one to be release at the end of Feb.

Hi guys,
I am looking at the Walnutt cases for the i9100, I would really love to purchase one of the bumper cases, but it seems there is very little available. I have found 3 sites with them but they are all Korean and don't look to sell internationally (or at least don't respond to my emails).
http://www.walnutt.co.kr/shop/shopdetail.html?branduid=361134&xcode=013&mcode=002&scode=&type=X&sort=order&cur_code=013002
My main problem is that I am after the White/Green version (I think it will look perfect on the White i9100!) but everywhere is sold out bar this website: http://www.unilook.co.kr/shop/shopdetail.html?branduid=429862&xcode=007&mcode=001&scode=&type=X&sort=order&cur_code=007001
Is there a very generous XDA member who could possible help me out with some mail forwarding at all? Your PayPal coffee/beer fund will be added to! :highfive:
May thanks!
I found a very similar one on eBay

Thanks jt.61
I've seen these before and have ordered a couple to see what they are like - will let people know when they arrive; I don't have high hopes to be honest.
I still want an official one so I know it fits perfectly though.
Here is another probably better alternative.

And here is a back cover to go with it if needed. You can choose that same green color.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...y-s2-option-back-cover-for-linear-series.html
I wouldn't recommend SGP Linear ... they are made of plastic and easy breakable...
I would recommend Sweet Armor .. they are not that heavy and they are made of airline metals (aluminium i believe ... not sure)
Thanks for the recommendations guys; I have tried many cases but believe the Walnutt would be the best for my situation

Very similar to the SGP NEO HYBRID?
Mebbeh try that?
thanks for the recomendations guys
Just a little warning. I've had a Walnutt bumper case on my phone for about 4-5 months, and they scratch the living hell out of the left and right sides of the phone.
I'm not sure if all Walnutt bumper cases do this, maybe I was just unlucky.
Maybe you got bits of dust between the phone and bumper? I know that my SGP NEO EX does accumulate a bit of dust between silicon and my phone. Regular clean ups does the job though. No significant scratches after 5 months of having the bumper, just slight micro scratches here and there, but those might be also deriving from me using my phone without bumper on occasions...
Cheers

I am currently using Walnutt bumper case for my iPhone 4 and have been satisfied with this case so far. I dropped my phone on the ground a few times while I was taking it out from the pocket. Fortunately, my phone was not damaged. you might ca buy it at http://www.zoarah.com/walnutt-bumper-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s2.html
Apologies in advance for yet another slim case thread, but really didn't find what I'm looking for:
- as slim as possible, either hard or TPU, but not silicon
- would like all corners/sides covered
- preferably comes in white
The Anker case seems no longer available. Some clear cases got reviews about easily scratched. Some slim cases (e.g., bear motion) leaves the top/bottom unprotected. I have Ditztronic TPU case for a Droid DNA and considered that too thick for my taste.
The Supcase seems to fit my requirement, but I really have no idea how much bulk it adds to the phone. I'm already coming to the moto x for its size from a naked HTC One, so I don't want to add extra bulk if I can help it. Can anyone comment on how thick the supcase is? It's a two-piece (bumper + back)?

My wife has a Griffin TPU case on her iphone 5s that is really thin and light. Too bad they don't seem to make it for the Moto X.
The Qmadix also looks nice, and comes in white, but again, I wonder how thick it is...
As you said there are several other threads with all this info already and no reason to start a new one. Just read the existing threads, look on Amazon and eBay and find one that fits your criteria. You already know what you want, why do you want us to tell you what you already know?

I've read through the threads on XDA and elsewhere, searched and read on Amazon, and still have not found the answers I was looking for, or else I wouldn't feel the need to start another thread. If you feel my thread isn't of interest, please don't join the effort. I put rather specific questions about two cases people had mentioned before. I was hoping people who have those cases can address them, instead of me having to gamble the time and money. Isn't that one of the purposes of the forum?
If you can show me posts that directly address my questions, I'll ban myself from asking questions on this forum for 6 months. Hows' that?

I don't care if you ban yourself, which just seems silly. But if you have more questions about cases, then you should be posting them in threads that already exist rather than starting a new one.
As far as specific threads, I won't do the work for you but they do exist on this forum. I have personally posted about the Qmaddix cases and have even posted photos of them both on and off my MX. There is also several comments about the Sup cases including photos. There are no questions you asked that haven't already been answered here.

Need protection without overkill: OtterBox Defender. My wife and I bought them for our Moto X's and they are very, very nice. Comes in colors.
My favorite slim case is Fosmon TPU. Tried a supcase but didn't really like it.

I got a supcase off Amazon. I love it. Has nice look and feel. Not too sure how well it would protect against a good fall, its a slim case after all.

Qmadix is a nice not-big case
Anyone find a case like the first generation Otter box. It was rubber only. Tire tread, not easy to get out of your pocket. Perfect if you added a screen protector. I had one for my Droid x2. Defender?
It would stay put on your thigh.
Incipio makes slim cases. My wife and I both use Incipio cases on our Moto X's. My wife has the DualPro Shine and I have the DualPro. They are both fairly slim cases.

Your flip case is looking very nice.. i will buy it. How much shipping cost ?
I pretty much was looking for the same thing as you. Slim case with great protection that added the very minimum bulk necessary to prevent the phone from being damaged and still felt great in the hand. I searched far and wide and decided on these two.

It costs about $8 and its very slim and minimal. Its matte black and covers the phone great. Even has the dimple cut out for the Moto logo on the back. The TPU around the power/volume are precise and don't make the buttons hard to press unlike cheaper TPU cases out there.
I also ordered another tpu case for about $4 from another seller on eBay
This one is matte black and has the buttons cut out which is a plus since i hate TPU cases that make the buttons hard to press.
Thats about the only difference apart from not having a dimple cut out.
