Lets talk cases

I need a good case for my Dual.
The rubbish silk bag that T-Mob give you is quite frankly insulting!
I would like a nice case, preferably with a belt loop or clip (pros/cons?)
So, what are you using?
This looks nice?? http://www.pielframa.net/htc_touch_dual.asp
How about this one?? http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=2792&category=51

I hope vaja does a dual case soon.

Im getting one from here:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000185
These actually:
1.) Ultra Clear Protector
2.) http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000185&products_id=6814
3.) http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000185&products_id=6816
4.) and a USB to audio adapter (dont really need this but just keeping it handy for emergency parties ;-) )

Thanks for that muzikfreakah,
I've ordered the flip case (star Trek)
Looks good, free worldwide shipping, and with the current exchange rate very cheep.

E im glad you like the site. I for one cancelled the flip and went for the crystal case and screen protector only.
Reasons:
1.) I think the flip type attaches to the case via a plastic cover on the keypad, after checking some youtube videos I was scared that this would increase the gap in the slide in the long run. If you have yourse can confirm this? Because if it fits well then I will order it again as my "business" case for formal events.
2.) For the ordinry leather belt case/diagonal sleeve, I didnt like the belt clip, its a clip on with no lock, Ive had bad experiences before with my hand accidentally hitting the case on the belt and the case and phone just flew away.
So cleare pocket case will do for me as of now. Metal aluminum would have rocked as a pocket case as well but, the problem is, it opens to the right for you to access slide out keypad making it harder to hold on two hand operation.

If anyone is interested the PDair cases (although they are not always listed as such) can also be bought at:
http://www.pdahut.com
The advantages being it's a British site if you'd rather buy "locally".

Yes, the plastic sleeve fits over the keyboard, but I've not had a problem with it yet (don't use the slide that much). It arrived Saturday so not had it long.

OK do let us know I went ahead and ordered the crystal case, ang im going to order another one soon for my wifes elf

I just got back from the above:
-Leather Horizontal Pouch for my Touch Dual
-Silver Aluminium Case for my Sat Nav PDA
-Proportia Screen Protector for both
I personally went for the leather pouch as (I know not everyone will agree):
1. I've always bought the leather with clear plastic window cases before for my previous mobiles, the ones where you slide the phone in and velcro shut the lip at the top and use it while in the case. This is my first touch phone and also my first slide phone which made such a case unsuitable whereas previously it had been perfect (there is such a Touch Dual case on the site which I considered getting).
2. In the flip cases I didn't like the look of the clear plastic panel over the keypad, I thought it might impair use of the already flat and barely distinguishable keys, and I had problems with my previous phone case in that the plastic sometimes caused problems pressing certain keys and unwanted keys being pressed instead. Besides potential issues mentioned in this thread about the gap between the two halves of the phone. Plus the flip cases looked awkward to hold the phone in, especially the horizontal style, the vertical style doesn't look that bad. I do actually like the aesthetic look of the vertical style it's much nicer than the one I went for!
3. The aluminium cases were tempting for protection, but you can only use the pad and start/end call buttons while closed and the screen is out of action behind the clear hard plastic, I think if the Touch Dual had the usual two soft keys this would probably be a lot more usable. It appears you can slide the phone open when you swing the aluminium case open, but this makes me cringe with the thought that the case might be swung shut on the lovely new screen! Also it looks incredibly awkward to use in this position. Undecided on the look of these cases, part of me thinks they look cool, but at the same time they make the phone look like a tank and very ungraceful.
4. There aren't any crystal cases on the above site at the moment but I have to confess I personally don't like the look of them, even though I like the idea.
5. I was put off the "Invisible Shield" (again not available on the above site anyway) by someone's review in another thread. Plus insufficient protection for my pockets!
I personally think the pouch seems the best, and although it may not seem much more than a step up from the velvety pouch that came with the phone, it's a lot sturdier (though not as sturdy as it looks on the site), and would survive a hell of a lot longer in my jeans/trouser pocket than the supplied pouch.
I've opened the case but not used it with the phone yet. Hurriedly taking the phone out of the case for calls seems potentially frustrating, but on the other hand at least it's secure while in the case, and allows for greater freedom of use of the phone when actually out. If anyone is interested I will post again once I have used it out and about.
I was tempted to also get the aluminium case (black, I'm not sure why anyone would want a silver one with the Touch Dual) to give my phone some added protection when out drinking, as I could live with only using the two buttons and pad and leaving it in the case for the night if it meant protection against me dropping it! Strangely thought the postage shot up when I added it to the basket, so I took it off and thought I'd try the aluminium case for my Sat Nav PDA first (which needs such a case being thrown about in my bag) and see how that was, although any experience of the Touch Dual version would be welcomed!
I wanted Martin Fields SPs, but I ordered Proportia ones from the site while getting the above. I will see what they are like when I get the chance.

I wish they could come up with a metal case with the same form factor as the crystal case:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/activecase/active-case-htc-touch-dual_3023.htm
I wend ahead and ordered the clear case from PDAIR.COM although it hasnt arrived yet :-(

if you want a case with belt clip, i recommend the OEM case for tmobile dash. it should fit perfectly fine.

the best case i found so far (and even ordered a replacement)
The best case i have found so far for the niki and as a result ordered a second, just in case they discontinue or mine gets damaged is the 'Crystal Case+Screen Protector for HTC Touch Dual/P5500' from ebay (e_shophk) the name in bracket is the name of the seller or better still the item number i purchased 280216281580 total cost was £4 including postage took about 6 days to arrive
all the best

Also try the one I got:
http://www.pdahut.com/store/product.php?productid=19585&cat=2082&page=1
I think it's better looking than the expansys one and it's more protective than the HTC one. However it's quite lumpy with the clip at the front and belt clip at the back (which sticks out quite a bit). If the belt clip could be removed it would be perfect.

Thanks for the reply. I can see what you mean by the belt clip and magnetic clip. I think the htc and expansys cases also have belt clips, however I prefer the built-in magnetic 'flaps' as opposed to the clip. Does anyone know: -
The material and biuld quality of the htc case
If the htc case (above) has a magnetic clip like the case HTCStuey (left) has or if the magnet is built-in to the flap like the expansys case (right)
or
Thanks

Just ordered the same crystal case as donnie1 from the same ebayer so glad to hear it turned up! i just thought for £4 if it does it does and if it doesn't, 'bugger! some guy in hong kong is making a mint in £4's'. if you read this again donnie, what was the quality like and any problems with the touchflo? i read about having to adjust the sensitivity setting?

The crystal case
The quality of the case is very good considering the price, the case does not interfere with you screen area so you are able to launch/close and use touch flo with ease.The opening of the slider to recieve calls or to use as a keypad does not hinder or effect the case in any way, and there is no need to remove the case to connect your usb cable and charger, also another plus point is you'll have easy access to your memory card slot.

I don't mean to offend, but the crystal case = great way to make a nice looking device look ugly. Its kinda like putting plastic covers on seats imo, or a leather bra on a car...just tacky.

I found a very good looking generic no brand leather case, when I tested it fit perfectly, the problem was, the magent locks, they screw up your phone by launching applications randomly everytime you pull out the phone. No matter which way the phone would face, away or towards the magnet, the same results.
So I guess magnet locks wont do good for our phones, velcro anyone?

Tacky Crystal Case?
Just received my 'tacky' crystal case and funny enough it wasn't! ok so it was £4 ( call me tight!) but it fits really well and surprisingly doesn't make it look bad, i know because people have commented on it I do miss the feel of the phone cos it's so tactile, but i'd rather lose that when i need to than damage the phone. A leather case ( or mini purse ) looks great if your pda just sits on a desk looking pretty but i'm out in the field all the time and the leather wouldn't last 5 mins in my job, also the last time i bought a leather case it actually did more to damage the phone than protect it after a bit of grit got under the screen (protector?) and scratched the screen when it opened and closed. All of that aside, i do like the look of the flip case oh! oh! oh! just one other thing as musikfreakah's post reminded me, because the crystal case sets the buttons back slightly (though perfectly usable!) i no longer have the problem of taking the phone out of my pocket to find i have launched loads of apps without my knowing or the camera taking loads of dark photos

best protection?

is it seidio all the way?
looking for really good protection. want to keep my hero pristine
so, was looking @ the seidio innocase 2 and screen guard. any other suggestions or am i on the right track?

invisible shield
Love mine and wouldnt use a case or sleeve ever again. The only caveat is that it requires 12-24 hours to dry and set. Totally worth it though.

Seidio + Zagg shield = Ultra protection!
...was having a problem picking between the 2 so i use both

i use just the seidio holster and no other screen protection. I've never dropped my phone or put it face down on anything and I have zero scratches on the phone what-so-ever.
I occasionally find my phone in my pocket with my keys and loose change and still haven't notice anything more than a few finger print smudges that can be wiped clean. It's amazing having a phone with a glass face. Every other touchscreen phone I've had untill this point has had a "hard plastic" face and scratched fairly easily.
I had the zagg's on my other phones and I really don't prefer the image quality and texture of the touch screen after applying it. But to each their own. As far as cases/holsters I swear by seidio a million %, and if I liked the screen protectors I'd swear by zagg as well.

I'm a Zagg user. I've been using them since my Mogul. I can agree/say that when you first put it on the feel it gives you is offputting. You go from a super smooth screen that feels like an ice rink to one that is a little bit more sticky. It's not as easy to slide your finger across. However over time it dries up a bit more and you get used to it. The trade off for me is I beat the crap out of my phone and have never even damaged the shield, let alone the phone itself. I had one on my TP for a year before selling it and when I peeled it off the thing looked brand new. I believe that ghost armor advertises that theirs isn't sticky like "others". Or that may have been another company. I don't remember.

Every phone I've had before this one, I've put a case and InvisibleShield on it. When I bought my Hero, there were no cases/screen protectors available yet, so I had to make do without one. I eventually just forgot about getting one, and I've had mine for a month now with the only flaw being DUST UNDER THE SCREEN!! But yeah, since the screen is glass, it takes a lot more to scratch it than a plastic screen, and I've found that whatever the body of the phone is made of doesn't scratch very easily, or maybe it just hides them good. Either way, I don't drop my phones, put them near keys etc., and I don't let my friends hold my phone. I always tell them that if they drop it and break it or something happens, I'm not using my insurance on it (they're paying for it haha).

I haven't used the Seidio, because I think it looks 'cheap' from the pics I've seen floating around on Android Forums...
I bought the silicone skin from Handhelditems.com for $5 (approx) and besides the attraction of lint from my pockets, it works GREAT. I've accidently dropped my phone from about 5ft on tile, and with the silicon skin it just bounces.
I'm still looking out for a good full body case, but they have been hard to find.

just an f.y.i. the Seidio case is about the best case I have had on a phone. It fits like a glove and it very durable, thin and is smooth to the touch.
pictures don't do the case any justice in my opinion

I use a Boxwave Designio leather case (vertical flip) its great, it doesnt interfere with typing, the screen is protected at all times, I highly recommend it
http://www.boxwave.com/products/dlcase/sprint-hero-designio-leather-case_3718.htm

i ended up going with the seidio case and the boxwave anti-glare screen protector. it is supposed to be good... i still may get some sort of leather protection. i DO drop my phone... haha, you should see my touch... it's actually held together well with all the times i've dropped her!

oh and THANK YOU for all the suggestions, really appreciate it.

anyone know the best protection that will prevent screen breakage??? Cause my last hero fell like 6 inches and broke the screen, I dont think invisishield will help with that...

Currently I have a zagg invisibleshield and the htc silicon case.
The zagg at first didn't seem that great, but if you get it put on correctly (use the solution generously) it is very nice after it completely dries.
Only complaint I have with the zagg is that somehow even with all the preventive measures I still got a few small hairs underneath it, but only on the screen. They do have a lifetime warranty and I might try to utilize it to get a brand new front piece.
It is a bit sticky on the screen compared to the glass but really it isn't that bad at all. It becomes much more slick once it dries.
As a note on the toughness of the glass screen, I saw a video on youtube with a guy who took a razor blade keys and coins to a screen protector. After, he removed the protector and did it on the bare glass and he saw no scratches, nor were any apparent in the video.
As for the htc silicon, fits fine with the zagg on the device, but the silicon attracts tons of dust and fuzz. This still concerns me as I really want the dust kept away from the phone because my last phone got significant dust under the screen.
And a final note, the zagg does not protect the bottom edge where screen meets phone, and this is where my first developed dust under screen. The pieces are claimed to be cut perfectly but they really are not the exact dimensions of the device, leaving that space open. I actually cut off a very thin strip from the leftover material and laid it in that space, just to make sure.
Doesn't look super great, the little piece I stuck in, seeing as it is pretty hard to cut a piece that small, but I am more worried about keeping my phone dust-free than having the shield look perfectly invisible.
Can't complain about lifetime guarantee though, if they are reasonable with it.

anyone have a leather pouch they prefer?

Check out Boxwave's Designio case. Its not exactly a leather pouch (as in you take the cellphone out of the ouch to use it) but its great protection. I bought a PDair and didn't like it because it was hard leather and it interfered with typing a lot. But this Boxwave case is way better as it doesn't interfere with typing, and the whole phone is covered all the time while not in use.
(See the vertical flip because the horizontal flip doesn't protect the phone against falling from the top of the case, happened to me with the PDair cover I had and I was so PISSED OFF; you buy an expensive case, thinking your phone is greatly protected and it fell because of it).

i think this one is the one you mean (bottom)

looks nice. right now i have a verizon droid eris leather horizontal case and it is a little tight... i'm a little worried it pushed in my send/call button a little. i am probably just being paranoid though! i just can't tell how much it is supposed to stick out LOL

I use the Body Glove 2pc Snap Case and Invisashield. If you need a holster also, stay on your current track.

is the seido case for the hero all around even screen protector? i saw the video for innocase for other blackberries that cover everything, even comes with a silicon keyboard of their phones, but when i look at the hero pics of the case it doesnt look like it

from what i understand it does not protect the screen.... it covers the back, and the sides...

Just ordered BodyGuardz from amazon for my hero.
But I don't get even my hero and BodyGuardz.
When I get them, I'll post the review.

bobjGear Case Review

So I recently recieved my bobjGear case. These are available from Amazon or bobjGear directly. US customers like myself, who don't want to order from Amazon can still order directly from him too. bobjGear shipped my case out promptly, and priority mail.
Now I only have the factory "Google" or Asus case to compare this too. As you can see the bobjGear case is a thicker. It does have a tacky rubbery feel, that helps you hold onto it.

}
Notice the hole on the lower-mid left side of the top of the case. They have directed one of the microphones forward. The other is directed pretty much straight out the bottom.
The buttons on the bobjGear case you definitely won't hit on accident. You do really have to push them to operate them.
The ridge around the case pretty much creates a giant bumper all the way around around the tablet. As you can see by the volume buttons above the bumper is the thinnest on the back, but it's still much more protection compared to the stock case.
Pros:
-More padding around the tablet, hopefully protects it from any accidents.
-Gives the tablet a bit more mass, which makes it feel better in my hands.
-The silicone adds some grip, and feels good in my hands.
-Price, at $20 it's not the cheapest case out there, but definitely not the most exspensive.
-Many colors available.
Cons:
-No cover or protection for the screen. (While this makes it easier to use, I do like the flip cover when I just throw the tablet into a bag, I'll be using a screen protector now.)
-Does add some size to the tablet over the thin factory case.
-Between the extra size of the case, and the grip of the silicone, means it doesn't just slip into my back pocket anymore.
-The extra grip does attract dust and dirt
- ??
Other Thoughts:
I would actually like to see a bit more of a ridge around the tablet on the backside. Most of the thicker material is around the edges and the front side, the back is "thin" compared to the front. While I'm sure this is a compromise as users with smaller hands wouldn't want the case even thicker. So far everyone I've shown the case too though, has thought it really made it feel nice to hold.
My other borderline complaint, is the buttons are almost hard to press. While you definitely won't hit them on accident, now you definitely have to mean to push them.
It would be nice if a thin piece of plastic (similar to what the Otterbox cases have) could be added to protect the screen. While it maybe hard to scratch the glass on the Nexus, I'd still feel better with an extra layer of protection for when I decided to put it in a bag, or throw it in the car seat with other stuff.
Final Word:
Overall I would definitely recommend this case, if nothing else just for the feel alone. It makes the tablet much more comfortable in your hands. It also makes it easier to hold onto. Not to mention, if (when) I drop my tablet I'd much rather it fall in the bobjGear case than the Asus factory case.

Very nice review! Great to see the different takes and types of cases that I haven't seen first hand yet.
That top part makes it look like a pillow! lol. Great for the kiddies so not to worry too much from accidental drops. Hey I dropped mine twice already lol, I had the treegloo case on at both times. Came unscathed, well the N7 did, the treegloo had some indentations, but you can hardly tell they are there.
Anywhoo...great review .

Great review.
Great review .. i have the pink one.
I think its great as it is with the exception of the buttons. They are kinda hard for me to push. I disagree with the screen needed a plastic cover. that is just a false sense of security.. if you hit the screen center you will break it even if something was over it that would let touch work.. One more thing . Wash it in warm water with dish detergent in sink will stop it from being sticky and still give you great grip.
I have the amzer so called impact resistant case. near same price but much less protection. The rubber ring around the screen feels odd in my hand.

It's not really to protect against breakage, it's more to protect the screen from scratches and chemicals. It's not a huge deal, as I'll just use a screen protector, but an option like this would be nice.

Thanks for the tip, going to go wash it now!

Nice review. I had been eyeing the BobJ case, and may have gotten it had it been out while I was case shopping. But, it still wasn't due for a few weeks.
I went with the Portenzo case instead. But, the BobJ ruggedness was definitely an appealing close second. Looks good!
[Sent from my Nexie7. Pardon errors.]

Thanks for the review, OhioYJ.
Judging by the photos only I do wish the ridge wasn't as pronounced at the top.

Thanks OhioYJ for the review this is perfect timing just got a Nexus 7 yesterday for my daughter and was already looking at this case, going for the pink one.
And thanks erica_renee for the washing tip will try that as well!

If you have not bought it .. The colors of the cases are not exact to what he has on his site .. I got the (berry something color) it is near HOT PINK.. Had i know it was so bright i would have got green or orange.. However i am very light skin and blonde hair. So most of my cloths and so on fit well with the color.If she has darker hair The case could clash with most darker hair women are not so much into pinkish pastel colors.
Sorry OP if this is off topic. But it is about the case and its colors are off from the website. but then again it could be my monitor..

She is 5 I think Hot Pink would be a bonus for her! Thanks for the info however.

OhioYJ thanks for the review.
Can OhioYJ or anyone with a more experience, now, tell me how it is standing up to normal use? How about any drops? Or kids using it?

Can't speak for the N7, because the case has only been on it since the release, but I've got 3 of the BobjGear cases for my Toshiba Thrive (a big and heavy device) and his cases have kept it safe and disaster-free for the last 9-10 months. Even in 'little' hands.

I find the wide round edge makes the device much easier and comfy to hold on to while reading and so on .. It does add some weight to it but its not that bad.You just have a better sense of security for the device in your hand with this case..I have tried several others and this one is by far the best . For kids and those with small hands this will also make them less likely to drop the device.Its Not as soft of a rubber as you would think its quite dense and very nice quality material.. The only down side i could say it pushing the buttons are sometimes kinda hard. Or i guess harder to push.. This is the only thing the young children could have a issue with or might have to learn to do...
I WOULD SAY Buy it . IF you do not like send it back...
Good Luck...

I really like the design of this case. Only problem is I use my alarm clock on the N7 so I need something that docks

there is a stand for the case on the bobjgear website.. But yea with most after market especially a case made to protect the device a standard dock would NOT work.
there are alternatives on amazon that will accomidate the case.. I just have not really looked...

I'm very happy my new black Bobj case so far.
I share my tablet with my little son (he loves doing puzzles on it).
He's good with stuff and hasn't dropped it but now with the case I'm worry-free :good: Also no harmful chemicals thanks to the food-grade silicone.
The case goes on and off easy enough and it's also easy to clean (doesn't attract dirt as much as i thought it would anyway).
It offers a good grip and I think it provides more protection than i.e. the Amzer skin case because it's so thick.
The sound/power button are covered which makes them a bit harder to push. No more pushing by accident I guess
I'm certainly not getting something expensive like an Otterbox for a budget tablet, insane prices.. I just need something easy and simple anyway, I'm not going camping with the tablet.
As mentioned, you can't use a dock with it I think (unless you take it out everytime or customize it yourself) but I don't want one anyway.
I couldn't order it from Amazon.com because I'm in Canada, so I simply ordered it through the bobjgear website. Best customer service, before and after I ordered :good:
My wife is getting one too now for her Nexus 7 (she's such a copy cat).

I bet she got her nexus first. Tell her the pink one is very VERY Bright..I love mine because i can hold my tablet better with this case.i have a cheap book type case with the cheap band corner straps i put it in when its in my purse to protect the screen .. aweseome protection and not ugly like the gum drop..

It may be years later, but I do so appreciate this kind of review as BobJGear is still going strong. I have 4 BobJ cases:
Gotcha Green
Outrageous Orange
Batfish Blue
Bold Black
The green is a very bright green and the blue is very loud. The orange and black are more for business, as the colours are more muted.
I did not get from the Amazon store as they would not ship to South Africa. On the other hand, BobJGear China had no hassles and I ordered through Aliexpress.com.
Still one of the best cases around and well worth spending the money.

[Review] Ringke FUSION Case

Introduction
I know the search for cases for this phone has been a little annoying and, in some cases, (hah!) underwhelming. I decided to pull the trigger on a case from a brand I've never bought before. I wanted a low profile case that provided, at least, decent protection. After some research, I purchased the Ringke FUSION Case over at Amazon for $12.99. My goal here is to provide people with some quick and concise information so they can make an informed decision when looking to buy a case for the Nexus 5X. So lets jump right in and see how this baby holds up to my expectations.
Disclaimer: I bought this case with my own money. I haven't been paid to endorse this product in any way. I'm also not a professional photographer, so the pictures I took with the M9's underwhelming camera is about the best my trembling, hungover hands could manage.
Details
It comes in two colors, "Smoke" (Grey) and "Crystal View" (Clear) -- Both are priced at $12.99
The case is made of Silicone TPU and the Plastic (maybe polycarbonate?).
No matter which color you choose, both come with an "HD" screen protector.
Initial Impressions
The case comes packaged quite nicely, sealed in a bubble-wrap insulated envelope. Upon opening the package we're greeted with Ringke's "ECO Package" which is supposedly saving the polar bears or something. It touts that they have sold over 10 million products, use non-toxic materials, and also instructs me to "feel good adout myself".

It's also a little funny because within this ECO package is another plastic Ziploc bag that houses the actual case.
Within this resealable bag you'll find the actual case. It has a protective film plastered on both sides of the clear plastic that shows off the rear of your beautiful new phone. This must be removed before installation. (Forgive me, I did not take pictures of this). The screen protector is also placed perfectly inside the case. My immediate impressions were that this case felt pretty decent for the price. It's light, the TPU sides felt grippy and the plastic (after having removed the protective films) felt a bit grippy and not brittle at all. This bolstered my initial confidence in the case that if I were to drop the phone accidentally on a hard surface that it'd shrug it off without a problem.
Installation and Fitting
The Screen Protector that comes with this case is a thin flexible film. It's plastic, not tempered glass and isn't the same material you'd experience with, say, a Skinomi TechSkin screen protector either. The screen protector comes with films attached to both sides. Both films are labeled with a description as well as a number to let you know which one you're suppose to remove first.
After washing my hands, I removed the adhesive film and carefully placed it on my phone. I placed the screen protector on the bottom and slowly applied it from the bottom up, using a credit card to smoothly apply the protector to mitigate any air bubbles. Application was pretty easy and just took about 3 seconds of patience. The protector fits almost perfectly. I applied it about a millimeter or two off center to the left, so there's a bit of a gap between the protector and the case now but it's hardly noticeable. As you can see from the picture above, the protective film that gets removed from the protector is colored blue, which I promptly removed, crumpled up and threw in the garbage before taking a picture. Because I'm an idiot.
The screen protector DOES have a cut out for the proximity sensor (are you listening Spigen?).
The case itself is a pretty easy installation. I slid the top portion of the phone in first, so that the buttons wouldn't get pressed during installation. With a satisfying hugging/click sound I then pressed the bottom end of the phone into the case. The case fits snuggly and does not allow the phone to move around at all. That being said, removal of the case is quite easy and can be done in seconds. This, however, I can't see happening by accident in your pocket or any other situation. This is exactly how I like my phone cases. Easy to install and remove without it just falling off from tumbling around in my shorts or something.
How the case fits the phone is a huge plus in my book. There is a TPU lip that goes around the entire face of the phone that provides some extra scratch protection if I were to place the phone face down.
On the back you can see the clear plastic allows the nice Nexus logo to shine through. There's a proper cutout of the Fingerprint sensor, Camera, Laser Auto-focus and Flash LED.
The plastic lays flush with the camera lense / glass, providing decent protection from a fall if the phone were to land on it's back. This case basically lets the phone lay flat on a desk or anything else due to little bumps at all four corners of the case. This is nice so that the phone no longer rests right on it's fragile camera when placed face up on a flat surface.
Features & Other thoughts
This case seems to be as well thought out as it is constructed. There is a properly sized cutout for the USB-C port as well as the headphone jack. The headphone jack, however, has a TPU flap covering it to prevent dust from getting in. This is a bit annoying sometimes to remove, but I like that they included it for the reason of cleanliness. There's also a cutout for the bottom microphone.
Moving to the right side of the case, we can see that there are TPU buttons covering the Volume Rocker and Power button. Normally I hate these things because they're hard to find and usually dull the tactile feedback from the buttons. But the way these are implemented are probably the nicest I've ever felt. They're raised from the side of the case, so they're easy to find and feel quite nice when pressed giving a satisfying click sound that you'd get from the naked phone itself. Well done, Ringke!
There's also a cutout at the top for the top microphone as well.
The case feels nice to hold and doesn't add much bulk at all. The TPU sides are decently grippy but the gloss finish on them makes it slippery at times. My only complaint with the case is that the clear backing is a fingerprint magnet. If you have greasy hands the back will look smudgy and at times can be quite slippery. Not a big deal but if it catches the light a certain way it looks pretty bad.
As for the screen protector, I'm not exactly thrilled with it. I actually ordered a different screen protector before I bought this case, but it hasn't shipped yet so I just threw this one on for now. I'm fairly sure the screen protector isn't oleophobic, so finger prints and smudging happens pretty often. Which is a shame because it feels pretty nice to interact with.
Overall
Overall, I really like this case. It offers adequate protection from minor falls and scratches for the price without adding nearly any bulk. It also allows the phone to lay flat on flat surfaces without resting on the camera, which is a major plus. The case is easy to install and remove and fits nicely. It's a well-thought-out case with no glaring oversights or problems. The screen protector, however, is a bit lackluster. But hey, it was a free and it's a stand in for my Tempered Glass one arriving in the mail next week. Those looking for a low-profile, comfortable and protective case for there brand new N5X, look no further.

I second this. Using it right now

Thanks for the review. Sounds like just what I want, ordered one from Amazon.

I myself have never used a case before but will try for my 5X, you saved me quite a bit of research. Thanks a lot mate!

I had this case for the note 4 and it had very rough edges, this case does not! Very nice case for the price. Nice review too.

I bought this in clear. It's nice, but I just can't stand the feel of a case on this phone (not to be confused with saying I don't like the feel of the case, because the case feels great). I might go caseless for the first time in years.

I ran my old N5 naked for a long time while in school and while it was nice it was ultimately a bad call because the wear definitely accumulated over time.

Got this case based on your review and I'm really happy with it. It's a very simple case that appears to be well-made and doesn't add a lot of bulk. The buttons have a great feel and for about $10 you can't go wrong.

Very nice review.

I used the ringke fusion case for my n4 and loved it. Ordered it for my n5x and was a little disappointed that it's an all tpu case. I've personally never cared for tpu cases. The case is too smooth for my taste and I think makes it harder to hold on too.
The n4 version was nicer because the outside wasn't a smooth tpu and a solid and more case like plastic while retaining the clear back. It also has small edges where the plastic parts met on the back which help when gripping and holding the phone.
The n5 is almost smooth all around. Gonna give it another week or so but will probably be looking for something else or going with now case.
It's still a decent case, but just wanted to make sure people realize the fusion line cases has changed from the older phones.

It's definitely not an all TPU case. The back is a hard plastic and the sides are a softer TPU material.
I like the case for everyday use, but am still looking for something with a little more protection for work.

Ringke Fusions are my favorite cases on the market right now. I've had 7 of them for various devices. All fit perfectly and no discoloration or scuffs. Great cases

Received this one yesterday in smoke color. First time using a case since my OG droid incredible. I didn't want to use a case but after my nexus 5 experience (RIP N5 screen x2) it was the smart play. Exactly what I was looking for, snug fit with some rubbery protection for the edges and not too much added bulk. I approve of this case.

I saw a review on Amazon (and a comment following it) saying that this case scratch the part where the camera is:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RR9AFEF94JZWZ/ref=cm_cr_pr_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B014RS5BHW
Can you, or anyone who has that case, confirm this?

It does not, the case has little feet on the corners that keep the camera from touching the table.

Here is a close up confirming the camera doesn't touch.

Also here is a couple real quick backings I made out of the included template.

I think what they mean is the clear plastic on the back, the slot that has been cut out for the camera and flash has rough edges rubbing against the phone, which apparently damages the paint? I haven't had this issue.

1 Comparison of 2 most Tough Case for Note 5 from Amazon -- Otterbox VS Little Rock
This case comes as a 2 piece clamshell, top part containing the built in screen protector and the bottom having a rigid back and flexible sides that secure it to the top piece. The top half is a secured in place screen protector made of a clear and rigid plastic sheet with a cutout for the action button. The phone is snapped into this portion first where it makes a snug and secure fitment. The bottom half is thicker and possesses the bulk of the padding, seen in the honeycomb ridges and thick sidewalls. This half receives the top where it snugs into the flexible sidewalls.
The power and headphone jacks are covered with flaps, speaker and S-Pen openings are unobstructed and the volume and power buttons are firm but still responsive. The sides of the case are beveled above and below and are textured with a crosshatch design which makes it easy to pick up from a flat surface and have a secure grip. The rear of the case is branded with the company logo and an industrial design. The area around the camera is not very beveled which provides poor access to the Heart Rate Monitor. In testing with 2 OEM and one branded wireless Qi charger pads, the phone charged fine and no undue heat was detected.
In comparing this product with a direct competitor and king of the hill, Otterbox Defender, a few differences stand out. While both items have similar port cover designs, the hinge side on the Otterbox is to the front of the case where the silicone has the greatest flexibility and the Artech case is hinged toward the rear of the case where the silicone has greater stability. In my opinion the silicone on the Artech case will not stretch out around the port covers as easily as the Otterbox could. The Otterbox has a more accessible design around the Heart Rate Monitor than the Artech case does. The shape and texture of the silicone on the Artech case makes it appear slimmer and feel more secure than the Defender.
The biggest negative to the Artech case in my opinion in comparison to the Otterbox case; is the lack of a holster. A device this size in a thick case isn’t as convenient in a pocket. This is a personal preference however, I know many people that do not use a holster. It would be nice if a holster for the Artech was available as an add-on item.
The greatest perk to the Artech case is it is 25% of the price of the Otterbox. A second or third one could be purchased as a backups and still come out under the cost of one Defender.

Review i found online

Pro’s:
-Solid feel
-Design is functional/makes sense
-Slightly raised lips helps protect the face/edges
-Durable
-Holds up when in heat/hot cars (doesn’t change shape)
-Multiple colors (red is really vibrant)
Con’s:
-May make phone seem a bit bulkier
-Medium weight
-Some women may perceive as “masculine”
UAG cell phone cases really have been the gold standard that I compare all other cell phone cases against. I discovered UAG cases after I got a Note Edge 4 because UAG was the only company that was selling for that particular design. I just traded in my Note Edge and walked out with a Note 5. Once again, UAG has risen to the top in terms of the case that I love to use.
I wrote a review about the Note Edge Case and it got me on their sample list, so, I actually received this case free from UAG in exchange for a review. I mention this (well, to be honest), but also because I do A LOT of Amazon reviews. The #1 thing I’m asked to always review are cell phone cases. As soon as I get done looking and playing with those cases for a few hours or a few days, I always go back to the UAG case, I just feel safer using it because of how sturdy it is and I’ve seen it hold up already, like other times, I’ve dropped my phone and accidently boot kicked it into a wall; no problems, phone held up great, no scratches or anything.
The other thing that I love about this case is that it doesn’t change it shape in the heat. I’m in Texas, where it gets REALLY hot in my car. I’ve noticed that a lot of cell phone cases will slip their shape in the heat, but this one never does. It stays firmly on my cell and I don’t have to worry about it coming off. I’ve been using the UAG case since the Note 5 came out and even when left in my car, no problems.
The heat also leads to the other wonderful problem of me constantly sweating, so the grips on the case are a nice touch without me dropping the phone with my sweaty hands. It’s a small thing, but you don’t think about it until you’re messing around with other cell phone cases. All and all, a great product that I really recommend.
Oh, I don’t keep my phones in my pocket, I put them on my waist, using my shorts or pants to hold up my phone. I mention this because it’s one of the reasons why I drop kick my phones a fair bit. It’s not something to be proud of, but I’d been asked that once before…that’s why I come back to the UAG case because I feel a lot more secure knowing my case is going to help me out in this situation.

Speck case
http://www.amazon.com/Speck-Product...2663303&sr=8-2&keywords=speck+case+for+note+5
This case is amazing!! You might be thinking that it looks like just a simple phone case, and maybe it is. However....have you seen the options for the Samsung Note 5? There aren't very many.
We had several trial and errors with finding cases for our new phones. We searched the depths of Best Buy with their over-indulgence in iPhone accessories. We looked at T-Mobile only to find melt your face hot pink or boring black.We scoured the internet and found cases that looked okay in the pictures but when we received them felt like they were designed by a handless blind man.
This case feels amazing. It is actually my third Speck case, but first Speck case for this phone. It feels really nice and I find comfort that if I suddenly lose motor ability and fling my phone the concrete that this case with take the fall for my phone.
The colors are perfect. True to the picture although the blue is a bit lighter than the picture - Just a tad. It's kind of a sea-foam blue-green. Nonetheless, it's beautiful and I love it. The colors look really nice on my white phone.
It has enough grip that you don't have to worry about it slipping out of your hands. The front bumper comes out just enough to protect the screen but doesn't add bulk to the phone.
The buttons and S Pen are easily accessible as well as the ports and holes.
The case helps with not accidentally touching the screen which is an added bonus.
BUY IT! You know you want to.

Vivid Slim Case
Case looks good. Not a big fan of gold, but it's not really that important to me. I get why others are saying that the plastic is kind of cheap looking and has a visible seam. But that's only when inspected really closely. From a normal, reasonable distance (like that of everyday use), it looks just fine. I even got a couple of compliments on the case today, and I wasn't even showing it to anyone, juat taking it out of or putting it back into my pocket. It has a very modern, almost high-tech look that is admittedly somewhat cheapened by the gold plastic, but that is quickly gotten over. The rubber back has a nice ridged texture, which feels pleasant and grippy in the hand.
It's kind of hard to talk about function or form independent from each other with this case. It seems like a lot of thought went into both aspects during design, as well as how they could compliment each other. For example, the case is slim and adds no appreciable bulk. It also has curved sides that hug the contours of the phone better than my Otterbox Commuter did. I like the Commuter a lot, but between the non-slippery ridged rubber back, the curved edges and the overall thinness of the Artech, it just feels better in the hand. Its more comfortable to hold and I feel like I have a better grip on it. The slim profile of the case makes it very comfortable in a pocket as well.
The phone pops into the case in a single piece. It went in easily, but there are instructions in case you need them. I was a little worried that it might pop out as easily as it popped in. But after slamming the phone hard against my palm several times, it didn't budge. Even when I cupped my palm in an effort to put more stress on the side of the case to purposely get it to pop out. It has a nice, snug fit. There is a nice raised lip around the screen, even with a tempered glass screen protector.
As another poster noted, there is a nice bezel next to the heart rate monitor on the back of the phone that makes it easy to reach. But overall, the camera hole is smaller than my other case. So I feel that the Artech offers better camera protection without interfering with function. This same type of design is noticeable below the home button, where the lip of the case flattens out for more comfortable access. It is obvious that some thought went into this design.
Despite the back being ridged rubber that hugs the palm, the fact that there are a couple of ever so slightly raised plastic parts on the back means that this effect is, regrettably not useful on a table or other flat surface. It feels a little like a missed opportunity, but not a deal breaker.
The buttons and all of the holes for the various ports line up perfectly. The battery and headphone jacks are exposed, which I don't necessarily like, but can live with. There is a rather large opening fir the s pen, but flat surfaces will touch both sides of the case without coming into contact with that part of the device. Further proof that there is a deliberate and thoughtful design here.
The rubber on the back and on the inside of the case seems kind of thin, but is a bit nore rigid than my other case. The power and volume buttons are responsive and soft. They are not very "clicky", of that kind of thing is important to you. It is not important to me, and I like the feel of these buttons.
A good 3/4 of the back is the aforementioned ridged rubber. I'm not sure how much protection it would really offer in the event of a decent drop. Again, I am conparing it to the Otterbox Commuter, which has a plastic over rubber back. One way to find out, which I don't plan on trying anytime soon. But it seems solid enough. There is some ridged pattern on the inside of the case, but I don't know if that is decorative or not. It's not symmetrical, so I think it probably is. In any event, the slightly raised plastic bits on the back look like they would prevent the back of the phone from actually coming into contact with the ground (covered in rubber or no) as the result of a flat drop. But that is just speculation on my part.
In conclusion, i would say that this is a very nice case, a few minor quibbles aside. It's got a nice blend of form and function not often seen in phone cases. It looks and feels good, and the functionality is excellent in my opinion.
For the asking price (I got it free, but you know what I mean), it is definitely nice. I only buy Otterboxes because I get them at a significant discount which puts them in the same price range as the Artech. So if I had to buy one or the other of these, it would be hard to choose (unless the Commuter was full price, in which case it would be Artech hands down because it is a good case and also I'm a tightwad). The Artech looks and especially feels way better, is easier to hold securely, and very comfortable. As far as protection, both seem comparable, but I would give a slight to moderate edge to the Otterbox commuter because of the covered ports and plastic over rubber back. But make no mistake: the Artech Slim Stylish case seems to offer good, solid phone protection. And I'm in no hurry to go back to my other case. I'm gonna go ahead and use this one for a while.
I would definitely recommend this case to anyone looking for a sleek, yet protective case that feels good to hold.

I bought an Otterbox Defender for my Note 5. At first I was massively impressed by the design compared to my old Supcase. It felt like much more effort and work went into all the details. It all just seemed of higher quality.
I've had it for a week. It's been in the same pocket my old case was in for 9 months (chest), facing the same way, engaged in the exact same activity, except that case doesn't have a scratch on it. The Otterbox screen protector curves away from the screen already, making feedback through the s-pen hugely different on every single part of the display. Dragging something is just not pleasant. It's also been scratched. I would call one scratch a coincidence, but there are two. One of them runs horizontal the center right, pulling the s-pen over it is like nails on a chalkboard.
I don't want to judge it too harshly, small sample size and all, but for the amount of effort I went through to get this case (Note 5 isn't sold in my country, so finding the case was a nightmare, and I paid out the ass) and the hoohaa around the Rolls Royce status Otterbox seems to have attained in the phone case industry, I honestly expected this to be less of a piece of ****. I mean it's become pretty much unusable, after a goddamn week.
So now I have to find a new screen protector that doesn't get in the way of the case, otherwise I might as well throw this thing out.
