Case-Mate Tough Review

I picked up the Case-Mate Tough and wanted to put in a short review.
The case is great. It is built really well and is definetly an upgrade or equal to other available cases. FYI, I own the Seidio Innocase II and Rugged models.
Innocase II was great for 2 weeks and then stretched out and became unusable
Rugged was an upgrade but too bulky
The Case-Mate fits 95% perfectly. I'm OCD and rarely notice seams between the shell and the skin - if there were any noticeable fit problems I would toss the case. I give it a 95% because the volume buttons are hard to press. The power button has actually become easier to press with the rubber button.
The only downside I can think on this case is it adds more bulk than a one-piece case and the shell is a little too tacky and makes the phone hard to get out of my pocket sometimes.
I realize this is the most poorly written review ever, but I wanted to get it out there in case anyone is looking at the Case-mate. I have probably had this case longer than anyone that doesn't work at Case-Mate and it definitely looks like a reliable and well built keeper.

Indeed we can see the website pictures, but people like to see the realistic pictures of how it arrived when you reviewed it. kind of like how McDonald's shows pictures of perfect hamburgers on their menu but when you get it, it looks like a turd between two over-cooked pieces of bread.

LOL, I have a question, is the back a soft gel type or like a TPU?

I got one of these Tough Cases for my wife's iPhone 4 and she loves it. While this case is different then the iPhone 4 case its the best one I've seen to date (we have about 60 Evo's here and just about every case is being used by someone).
Yes it does add a bit of bulk but it's nothing you don't get used to right away. It's nice b/c it makes the camera lens recessed so no issues laying it flat on its back. It's a two piece deal where you put on the soft jelly like cover on first then the hard (it's not a metal type of hard so keep that in mind) cover goes on in the back. The hard cover does not offer complete protection of the top and bottom (just the corners).
The case feels very solid and it is not slippery you feel like you have a good grip without it being "clingy" to other materials. It's very easy to get on an off and the only thing you need to be mindful of is the volume up/down button. If you don't take some care it can get pinched into the slot in the hard case part.
One complaint I have about most cases is that they still allow way too much dust and crap to get into the case at the point of contact areas. This case does still allow some to get in but I'm very impressed b/c of all the cases I've compared this to it keeps the most dust/grime out (a GREAT way to see this is to put phones with different cases in a womens purse for a month! this should be a standard test).
Anyway I've very happy with the case and I'm seeing a slow but steady attrition from users of other cases going out and buying these.

Still a great case
Reason I pointed to the case-mate site for pics is because they really do have good pics/video of the case.
Unlike McDonalds, you are getting exactly what you see in the pics. The case design is well thought out and the fit is perfect. Other than a little bit of difficulty in pressing the volume buttons there are no problems in design. Access to ports is good, stand is easy to get to and balances well, and the power button is much easier to press. To be honest, the only time I have difficulty with the volume buttons is when I am in recovery mode and need to click around a lot.
PS- Its nice that they include a screen protector, but I don't think that it should effect your purchase. In my experience you need to have a couple of static protectors available if you want a good chance at a successful install. It is just too easy to mess up the install with a dust particle or something and only including one in the package is kinda asking for disgruntled customers.

[REVIEW][PICS] Nillkin Ultra Slim Hard Shield Faceplate

Today i received the case and again i want so share some thoughts about it.
(let me say it right here: this is the best case ive seen so far and i can recommend it to everyone that is searching for a very slim case with considerable protection)
ORDER
i ordered the case from Obostore. it took 7 days for shipping...quite good for free international shipping. they also give discount if you order several pieces.
MATERIAL
i expected some regular plastic case but actually it is something i would describe as rubberized plastic.
makes the phone definitively way less slippery.
as far as i can tell it doesn't attract dust.
FIT
it fits perfectly and the cutouts on the side are made well. the phone fits very tight and doesn't move in the case (like in the zenus skin air jacket i reviewed some pages ago)
PROTECTION
if you are searching for an everyday-protection against scratches and some little drops this case should be your choice.
as you can see on the pictures the top and bottom of the phone are not covered by the plastic.
but that doesn't bother me because (unlike the samsung mesh-case) it fully covers the corners of the phone.
so if it drops on flat ground it will be fully protected. (not from great hight of course)
quite hard to explain but i tried to show it to you in the pictures below.
i tilted the phone to 45° and then take a shot that is showing that there is still some space between phone and surface (light coming through).
the camera is also covered very good so no scratches should get on it.
SCREEN PROTECTOR
the case came with a free screen protector from nillkin. i don't have any reference but i think its pretty good.
(although i messed it up by having a little airbubble in the down right corner. my fault.... )
CONCLUSION
this is by far the best case i have seen or used so far.
sure there are some cases with better protection but in my opinion they often add too much bulk and mess with the great look an slimness of the phone.
so i can fully recommend this case to you!
(if you liked this review please show by hitting the thanks-button)
(and sorry again for the bad picture-quality )

I also have one, and am very happy with it, but they seem to have a minor design flaw.
Doesn't really affect the usability of the case, hell, I didn't even notice it until someone on another forum pointed it out, and I doubt I ever would have if they hadn't.

what flaw are you talking about?
(although it may be better if you never tell me )

1 of the sides did not flush well with the phone when facing up.
Looks like the cutting is slightly off will gradual abscess from top going to the bottom.
Its pretty obvious if u see it at an angle.

Only seems to be an issue with the black case
The white one I got seems to fit fine
Sorry, photos aren't very clear

I also have the one in OP but chose red instead of black. I have to say it's pretty awesome. The color looks classy and the case fits just fine.
I like the rubberized texture. Without it, I always felt like the phone was going to slip right off my hand. Now not so much. Plus it almost doesn't add any thickness (I'd say around 1.5 mm at most).
Very happy.

Be careful with unprotective cases, barely there cases and only rear protecting cases

Here it is the white one, after few weeks of usage.
h t t p://imgur.com/a/LnGKp - sorry i can't post links yet (new user)
I have the phone for 2 montsh now, but i have 2 other type of case and using a different one all the time. The first 2 week was fine, no coloration at all, but at the 3rd week the brown coloration happened, which was my pocket. And the funny part is, i am carrying it in my pocket for 40min each (work)day.
The way i imagine this case:
- hard plastic
- soft touch overlay
- some thin protecting layer
No coloration in the first few weeks, but after the ""protecting layer"" wear down, the case started picking up everything. I tried to clean it, no luck.
Lastly, i really don't know what are those pink spots, or where do they came from. (It's not the camera )

I've one of these cases too.
The first thing I did was to use my fingernail to scratch away the NILLKIN words. Took me just 2 min, and I had a perfectly blank back for the case.

How good it fits to the phone? Does this case scratch the phone?
Thanks!

CrazyOnDigital Armor case

I purchased this cheap case from amazon. http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigita...42825366&sr=8-1&keywords=galaxy+s3+armor+case its a combination TPU and hard plastic shell. Not to bad for $8 IMO.
Definitely looks like it could take a drop, corners are reinforced and the lip is raised around in front. I have big hands so the extra width is welcome. Laying it down flat next to my uncased DroidX the hump part on the droidx looks about a millimeter thicker but as the droidx tapers down it becomes thinner by a bout a millimeter compared to the cased sg3. The one draw back I'm noticing is the TPU part is a hair, dust, and dirt collector...is this a trait with all TPU cases? Previously I've only used hard plastic shells that came in to halves and for the past year I kept my droidx naked. Oh volume and power buttons are protected as well and easy to push. I never really had the impression that the naked sg3 was of poor or cheap construction but the case does give it a nice hefty solid feel it the phone, while still being lighter then a naked droidx. If you're looking for a case and don't want to spend $30-$40 I'd say you can't really go wrong with giving this one a try.

Great Case @ Incredible price = Fantastic Value
I was going to do a full review of this, but I found you already got it started. Hope you dont mind if I add to your thread, instead of creating a new one.

This case is AWESOME. I am used to the heavier phones by HTC, so the SGS3 was a bit of a surprise when I first held it as it's so light. The other thing is that the phone is a slippery snake. This phone combined with my ever sweaty mits was a disaster waiting to happen. I found this case on Amazon and I thought I would use it until some of the "nicer", aka more expensive, phone cases came to market.
I received the case and I was immediately impressed with how well the case was thought out and how much it did seem like it would protect against an accidental drop. The corners have raised bumpers that definitely seem like a good idea, as the phones I've seen break usually break from hitting that sweet spot on the corner.
The other thing I like about this phone is those odd circles on the back. At first I didn't really know what to think about them (design wise) until I held the phone with the case on. My fingers naturally found those circles and it's like they're placed perfectly to make the phone easier and more comfortable to hold.
The covers over the buttons seem like an *improvement over the phones' actual buttons. They are nice and snug over them, and feel great + are very easy to push. I also like how it separates the vol up/down as I didn't like the single button for both. I know that other cases are having problems with being too snug and pushing the buttons when you don't want them to, or are overly sensitive. That is not an issue with this case.
I honestly love this case and I don't think I would swap it out for anything as of right now. Especially when you only pay $12.70 shipped. Bleh, what's to think about?

Do you find the case slippery at all? Having it rest on my palm even on the slightest angle it would slide off, naked it doesn't do that and my fathers sg3 with a verizon silicon case doesn't do that his I can practically put my hand vertical before it slides off. So took some grainy sandpaper and roughened up the shell part which helped a lot.

I bought that case as well. I like it. With my fat hands I have trouble holding these super slim phones with no flat edges. With this case it is MUCH easier to handle the phone for me. I also agree that the buttons covered in the TPU stuff but nested in the hard plastic case, volume and lock seem to actually work better with the case on. They seem more substantial / easy to find since they are recessed in their own cove on the case... and yet are easier to push. I'm guessing due to extra leverage from the case covering them. I can find the volume and lock far easier as opposed to no case.
The circles on the back are handy too for knowing how I'm holding the phone when digging it out of a pocket, bag, or ditch. Again that is something I don't get with an all smooth case. Call me crazy but it matters to me as without a case I'm never sure how good a grip I've got on that slippery phone.
The inputs for USB and audio are given a lot of room on this case so no worries for those right angle USB OTG cables as they fit just fine with the case on.
The TPU parts do pick up dust from my pocket but it brushes off fairly easily and honestly I don't much care about that. The lip of the case at the bottom near the S3's hard center button takes a day or so of getting used to since it is raised higher than the button and you can't slide your thumb or finger from the edge of the case to find that button anymore. Not a big deal, I don't notice it at all, but it might bother some folk for a bit.
I got lucky and picked this case right from the sart and I'll stick with it. Note that I ordered it from Amazon and 3-5 business days took a shocking 7 business days. They usually arrive in like 2 or 3 business days. Not sure what was up with that.

Seidio ACTIVE Case REVIEW

I received my Seidio ACTIVE case the other day so I figured I'd do a little review on it.
First and foremost, the case arrived in a little box, decently packaged and the item didn't have any damage. Since I live overseas ship times can be quite ridiculous, but the package arrived 9 days after placing the order (that's pretty fast for me, seriously)
As you can see, not a whole lot of packing material but it really wasn't needed. The SURFACE I accidentally ordered was in a little smaller inner box and there were enough packing peanuts to keep it secure.

Case front:
Case back:
View of the kickstand extended:
The phone sits at approx a 45 degree angle when the kickstand is extended:
The phone does NOT sit flush on its back due to the kickstand. There's a slight gap and the back is raised just a little bit. Might drive some people crazy:
Front shot with the case on my S4A:
Side shot of the phone next to the case to show how much bigger it will be:
PROS:
1. If you've used one of these before you know what you're getting. The case fits pretty well and the back hold the silicone case on just fine.
2. The kickstand works ok, I wish it were in the middle of the back but for the most part it works fine. It does tip over if you touch the left side of the screen though, I don't see myself using this for anything more than viewing videos. The stand is held in place with a little magnet and it's spring-loaded, it pops out with a small bit of force (nothing crazy) and is held by the magnet just fine.
3. When faced down on a slick surface it doesn't slide around easily. The silicone holds it in place (might be a negative for some)
CONS:
1. I think Seidio made their silicone softer for some reason. I have an iFail 4 with one of the CONVERT cases and I was highly impressed with the quality of the silicone case (not the phone, but that's a different story/review). The silicone on that case just seemed to be a bit more 'firm', it did not slide off the sides/top nearly as easily as this case does. I also have a Nexus 7 with the ACTIVE case and I have the same complaint. I thought the smaller profile phone case would be better (since the Seidio cases for other tablets have the same complaints) but it's not. It comes off the top/bottom with barely any pressure. It goes right back into place of course, it doesn't come off the phone without removing the plastic back, but it's still annoying to me.
2. The kickstand does not work in portrait mode whatsoever. I personally don't care but I call it a con since I know quite a few people like to view in portrait mode.
The protection is there and I'm satisfied so far, much more than I was with a TPU case as far as protection/drop resistance goes, but the soft silicone annoys me a bit. I'm afraid that it'll stretch out like the Griffin case did on my wife's iPad 2 and sag after a few months. My wife also has a S4A, right now she has a Tudia Melody case and I was going to buy her one of these ACTIVE cases but I think I'll wait.
All in all I give it a 7/10. I'm just not confident in the silicone being so freakin soft and holding it's shape after a few months, especially for the $40 it cost me.
ETA Nov 26 2013: After a few weeks I have to downgrade my score to a 4/10. The power button is entirely too easy to press and hold while in my pocket, it's contently turning my screen on and it'll type in random pin codes OR hit the emergency contacts. If the power button is depressed for 10+ seconds it restarts the phone. Is been happening quite often while in the case and never while in my Supcase.
Also, while the silicone hasn't deformed or lost its shape the fact that the top and bottom slip off extremely easily bugs the crap out of me.
For an expensive 'rugged' case these flaws are extremely annoying, especially since the Supcase cost 10 bucks and does a better job. I really like the kick stand though!

Thanks for this detailed write up on the case! I too have one as well and I love it. I've always gone with the Active cases for all my phones, I love them. They always feel so solid and premium to me. As for the softness of the silicon, I don't think it will be an issue. I still have my S3 and it was always in an Active case as well, with lots and lots of use. I just compared the two and the softness seems identical to me. So I think it should hold up over time. It's definately my favorite case!

Good write-up! Thank you.
I've been wanting to get one of these cases, so this was timely running across your review.
Out of curiosity, how long have you had your Active case for the Nexus ? I've got one on mine that's probably 7 months old now, and I've noticed no "stretching" of the silicone liner, even with a lot of "on and off's" from my Nexus.
Maybe it's a variance between manufactured runs, but while I certainly wouldn't say that mine is "rigid", it's not really "soft" either.... in that I can't mar, or mark it with a fingernail or anything.
If it's the same for this case for the GS4A, then I'll be a happy camper.

I've only had the case on my Nexus since July and I haven't removed it at all. So far I'm impressed with it and I think it's a worthwhile case. It's a little overkill for what I use it for, a TPU case would probably work just fine, but I like the stand and the screen protection in case I need to throw it in a bag or something. As far as the review I might have been a little unclear about the N7 case... The silicon is less firm than the iPhone 4 case BUT after using it for the last couple months I think it'll be fine.
The S4A silicon is thinner and softer than the N7 case IMO. You know how the edges on our N7s comes off but you have to (more or less) consciously push it off? The S4A pops up/off with barely a touch. Since it's in/out of pockets quite a bit during the day I think it'll either wear out or get torn at the bottom. I'm not going to get rid of it or anything, I do believe the case will protect the S4A if dropped, but the softness of the silicon bugs me a little.

Thanks for the wonderful info...it was quite interesting one to go through it....

For what it's worth regarding the softness of the silicone. I had a galaxy note which is much larger than these phones with an active case on it for a year in heavy use daily and the only wear it ever showed is the matte finish on the back got shiny from all the handling. Silicone still looked like new with no tears. Many many hard drops on concrete where I worked and never any damage to phone.

Case or no case?

Do you think it is wise to get an LG G6 without a case? I am pretty careful with smartphones and have not had a cracked screen or any damage beyond tiny scratches on previous devices like LG G4 and G2. It seems like LG did a good job designing the phone for mild to moderate use with the corners being metal in order to absorb the shock from falls. Still, not having owned a phone with glass back before I thought it would be useful to get some opinions on this.

Case absolutely
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

cases is for dyspraxis users
have had cell phones over 22 years now and just in your pocket, it's just fine. This G6 i got a Dbrand for the back just to save the camera lenses a bit (as they are flat with the casing)
However WOMEN with their bigger or smaller bags where they put it, is another story. That's just a beating on its own and very much eligible for a proper case

Having never suffered dyspraxia I still find it beneficial using a case. I've rarely dropped any of my phones but on the occasions I have it's been reassuring that if there was any damage it was it to the case and not the phone.
This time round I'll have a new case before
I've actually got a G6.
https://www.spigen.com/collections/lg-g6/products/lg-g6-case-neo-hybrid?variant=32022884481
Depending on what I think initially of the G6 I may see if I can find someone to do a swap for a V20.

If you're not someone inclined to drop your phone, then why ruin the look of the phone with a case? The phone looks great, and all cases are ugly and/or not thin enough.
Since I hated the shiny black fingerprint magnet back of the phone, I got a Dbrand brushed metal black skin on the back. Now it looks amazing, and provides a slightly better grip.

Approximately £600 GBP is why
And I think the Spigen Neo Hybrid looks pretty smart and doesn't add that much bulk.
Earlier I was looking at the dbrand skin selector after seeing a link someone posted. Care to elaborate on your experience, maybe a few pics too?
And whilst a skin can look good it's more a scratch guard than anything else.

just the level anti scratch i needed
I just did the back side.. front side is not needing any (my opinion)

I typically don't use a case and rarely have had a problem. But this phone is shaped very differently than my G4 and is pretty smooth and slippery. I wanted a case as minimal as possible, but wanted the grip and corner protection. Went with this clear one and am pretty happy:

I never have insurance so not having a case just feels like waiting for the inevitable. Even if it did fall on didn't crack looking at the scuff marks for the next however long would drive me mad.

I bought one similar and had it for a couple weeks now and although it works good and like the feel of it. I started to notice UV discoloration on the sides from being in the sun. Just wondering if this case has the same issue.

I'm not seeing that at all (yet?). When driving my phone sits in a cradle on the dash, so it is in the sun most of the time. So far no discoloration. I've had this case for almost a month now. As always, YMMV.

I imagine all the TPU classes will have some discoloration or yellowing effect from UV. Good thing is that the case is cheap so just get another one when it's too discolored.

Thanks for the pictures. Given how attractive the G6 is I like the how clear cases show off the device.

Well I'll have to order that one next time. I've had this one a little over two weeks and the sides are pretty yellow.

I use a case on every phone I buy but always buy a clear case so that you can see the phone. I take care of my phones just don't want to damage them so when I sell them and get another the back is in mint condition so has greater value.

I have the same one he does and mine has some discoloration due to UV exposure. It's not terrible, yet, but that's the Texas sun for you. I'll just get another case when it comes to it. Hopefully it'll stay flexible for a while and not stiffen up.

I have no choice but to use a case. My Neo Hybrid just arrived today and I'm very happy with it. Feels great

Do you think it is wise to get an LG G6 without a case? I am pretty careful with smartphones and have not had a cracked screen or any damage beyond tiny scratches on previous devices like LG G4 and G2. It seems like LG did a good job designing the phone for mild to moderate use with the corners being metal in order to absorb the shock from falls. Still, not having owned a phone with glass back before I thought it would be useful to get some opinions on this.

Only reason i would recommend a case is because of the rear camera. It can get easily cracked when you put your phone down.
Other than that, G6 is so solid.

Have always been using a case for the older plasticky phones as the feel did not change much. Ever since my first glass back one I've been going for tempered glass on front and a skin on the back, camera and sides (sometimes). That way you can really appreciate the materials used, thus enjoy not only the software side, but the looks/feel as well.
You just have to think a step forward before juggling the phone on your fingers or throwing it in the clustered backpack etc.
