Hey XDA,
I've done a bunch of searching and I've realized that a lot more people have cases and do reviews for every phone except the Nexus S lol So, I've bough a bunch of cases off ebay and plan on doing some reviews:

I will be posting PICTURES and VIDEO review's once I get the cases. Just giving everyone a head's up, should be receiving these in about 2 weeks (china shipping), If you want me to buy a case Post here, and if its a reasonable price, I'll buy it and do a review
You missed out RearthUSA one.
That case looks great. Will order it and include it in the round up.

A really useful topic.
Actually there are lots of hard cases on ebay, but in my opinion they adding unnecessary bulk to the phone which is not quite slim itself. So from day 1 I've been searching for a good thin (probably silicon but could be other material) full body cover.
So to add to your list, the first one that was out there since the phone launch, the Amzers silicon jelly:
cgi.ebay.com/Amzer-Silicone-Jelly-Skin-Case-Google-Nexus-S-Grey-New-/120689309826
I have this one, it's nice but all that surface relief adds a little bit dirty look to the phone
Also just found not badly-looking one by Capdase:
cgi.ebay.com/Capdase-Soft-Jacket-Xpose-Case-Samsung-Nexus-S-Smoke-/140519645821
I have the seidio active x case. U should do a review.

Cool, looks like the one I ordered (not arrived yet). What's odd is here's my link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280921388461 but it was $9.99 when I bought it. Strange.

urs come with screen protectors? cause i saw one like it too but no screen protectors
No protectors (bought the 75% off Xtreme guards).
I have this case on my Nexus now. The fix is a little lose causing the camera to be slightly covered. Does not affect the usability of the screen.
Mine came with a screen protector and stylus.
I may end up with some Velcro to hold the unit in place or search for another case.

For me this is best case
For me the best manufacturer is Noreve !

I had this one arrive today http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/15088047...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_5137wt_1037 after seeing a previous post that recommended it.
It's quite a good case. Since the Nexus 7 is so comfortable to hold and use without a case it will take some time to get used to it with a case.
Spigen announced their well-known Slim Armor line for the new One M8 a while ago and this case also comes in a sexy Gunmetal color .
I'm actually thinking of buying it, but I am waiting for some experiences from other people, since I've had button issues with their cases in the past (Neo Hybrid for the Galaxy S3 and Slim Armor for the Nexus 5). I've heard that some orders have already been shipped, is there someone here that has already received his order? Please post some of your experiences here if you have :fingers-crossed:

That's also what I thought, but I read somewhere else that some orders are already being shipped. And the black one is in stock on Amazon UK.
There is no cutout for the power button judging from the pictures. Might affect IR blaster.

I was not thinking on buying a case but this looks beyond sexy. The non-functioning IR blaster may be a deal breaker though. I use my M8 as my control literally every day. Hmmmmm.
I can't figure out why they keep making cases that block the IR blaster. The hybrid bumper case is good looking too, but has the same issue.
Style-wise Spigen is on point, but silly to pay $20 for something that removes functionality.
mine is on its way says in transit
I had one on my galaxy s4 and really liked it. I've messed around with quite a few cases and that one is definitely my favorite. I was also looking at the Incipio Dualpro, not sure if that fixes the IR Blaster problem.
Mine is on its way as well, I'll look into ways to modify it to keep the IR blaster. I don't really use the feature at school but I like to show my friends the feature. Will update on the case when I get it
My mom has the same type of case for her iphone and its sexy. definitely my favorite case especially for this phone because it mimics the design of the phone
i pre-ordered mine, and it was shipped yesterday, cant wait till it gets here!
I really want the gunmetal one, but it's a shame I'll have to wait until April 30th!
I bought my case off their ebay page since it was only $14. Honestly I didn't even realize that I purchased a TPU case until it got here and for the record, I hate hate hate TPU cases.
With that said, this might be one of the nicest cases I have ever put on a phone. Not only is it crystal clear with the cut outs perfect, but its a perfect fit. Just amazing.
2 more quick points... The buttons actually feel a little better to the touch and the IR blaster works perfectly.
Another perfect Spigen case.
Crystal clear? Are you sure that is the slim armor?

Ordered on March 26th
Shipped on April 7th
Delivered on April 11th
Unfortunately the UPS tracking number that was provided in my Amazon account does not even resemble a normal UPS tracking number so I am unable to tell when it will arrive. However when it does, I will be sure to come back and give it a run down.
EDIT: It looks like this was shipped straight from the manufacturing facility in Korea to Spigen in California...then to me. Hence the reason the UPS tracking did not show up via conventional UPS.com tracking.
For anyone who per-ordered and has a UPS Tracking # that does not show up via ups.com. It will show up if you go to UPS Mail Innovations.
First impressions of case: Fits phone very well, feels great in the hand...the only negative I see is the lack of an IR window. But other than that...it's a keeper.

Same here, guessing they are shipping it from wherever it's made in China. I'm refusing it either way, no IR and sounds like it's more bulky than I want.
OK, anyone willing to help, please do, others please ignore.
I'm looking for a good case for the Note 4 I am waiting for to arrive.
As of now I have a Note 2 using the UAG hard case.. What are some suggestions y'all have for a case for the Note 4?? I prefer a "slimmer" design, but one with good protection. OtterBox is just too big and bulky for my taste.. I would also like to know what y'all think about screen protection.. We all know the DIY screen protection film, but what's everyone's opinion and experience with the "adhered" glass protectors, a stand alone or included with a case... Hope this makes sense.. Also hope this is in the right section, I tried "Accessories" but the forum was blank and gave me a error.

Hey Birdman. I've tried a few cases for my N4. I LOVE my current case. It's the Spigen Neo-Hybrid Metal. It's slim, while providing adequate protection and yet... looks slick as hell.
Here's the amazon link...http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MA...&dpID=517hJeLjbsL&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SY200_QL40
as far a screen protection? I've got the Zagg Mirror Glass. It'd a Best Buy exclusive. So far... it's slick. I'm not a fan of the standard films.
Hope this helps ... and enjoy your N4!
I have the speck candyshell on mine and love it. Tech 21 are also great cases as far as being very slim but great protection. Also highly recommend a tempered glass screen protector. I got mine on Amazon for like $15 and has a lifetime warranty.
I spent a whole 7.55 each off 2 cases with swivel belt clips off ebay. Anyone who pays more than $20 for a case just isnt very bright. I dont need slim or flashy, i need protection and durability. Did the same with my nexus 5, never cracked a screen. I dont use a protector. If i drop my phone, it bounces. This case is gantastic. Its a generic 3 piece hybrid with belt clip. Purchased in 2 colors for 16.05 delivered, free shippi g, 2 cases

Yeah, I ended up buying a Caseology and the tempered glass screen protector.. The tempered glass should do me great, working on cars day in and day out really takes a toll on the flimsy screen protectors. With everyday use it gets pretty dull quickly since I can't always wash and sanitize my hands before responding to a text, etc.. My past 2 phones I've used the UAG cases and they're great, but I'm ready for a change in look. Thought about getting one if the cases (forgot which one exactly) that the guy Flossy on YouTube reviews. It was all aluminum, gold finish, bezel and back for the phone, looked so damn nice. Where he lost me though was when he said he lost a bar or 2 of reception. Still might buy one also anyway cuz it was pimpin LOL.

Flossy is great!! I always check his reviews before I buy. Thats how I got turned onto the Spigen cases.
Hey , everyone .
The Samsung Galaxy S7 edge is coming . aren't you excited about it
As usual , there will be tons of cases for it , so please put everything you will recommend here to help members to choose .
As usual , Uag and life proof are my second choice
Specks , If you like the minimalist design but alway One-piece rugged combine
For online staff , Spige , Tudia and Tech 21 or Artech 21 from amazon , they are good though

I'm not sure how many of you know me from other areas of the forum, but I'm a 'casaholic' as one might say. I currently own 20+ cases for my Nexus 6P since its my daily driver, so I will chime in with my recommendations below as well as some reviews when my cases start to arrive.
1. Hands down best case: Speck Candyshell. I love this case for my 6P because it not only has great grip, but it will handle drops like a champ
2. Incipio Dual Pro: This is my current 6P case that I fell in love with. I've owned many of their cases (I have one on my Surface Pro 4 too), and haven't been disappointing. The last time I had one for a Samsung phone was with my wife's S5 before the one for my 6P.
3. Spigen Slim Armor/Tough Armor: Spigen has historically made some nice cases, but I haven't had a good experience with their newer Neo Hybrid's, so I chose these instead. I've had a Slim Armor for many phones ranging from my Note 3, LG G3, to my Motorola Nexus 6. The case might not be the best looking, but it gets the job done.
Slim cases:
1. Ringke Slim: This was my favorite case for my Nexus 6 last year due to how slim it was while still handling minor drops.
2. Diztronic TPU (assuming one comes out) their cases are excellent as is their customer support.
I will add some reviews as I get cases, accessories etc... If you want to see how I've written reviews in the past you can look in my signature, so you know what to expect once I start to post them.

You should see my OP for the 6P. I haven't added in the past few cases to it just yet, but I literally have a box of them on my bookshelf. I bought the Speck clear black Candyshell case because I know it will handle any drops that I will inevitably have. I don't think I will go overboard with this phone (I always tell myself that) because I'm not a big Samsung fan to be honest. I just thought the idea behind their camera set up was interesting enough to give it a try, and I like to have a backup device just in case.
I was using a Spigen Neo Hybrid for my S6 Edge for a long time and loved it, but eventually got a Mophie battery case because I needed to use an external battery all too often. I'll probably get the Neo Hybrid for the S7 Edge that I pre-ordered and hopefully the battery will last longer for me and I won't feel the need to go with a battery case.
But, while I was looking around at options I noticed that not only is Mophie already planning a case for the S7+Edge, but they are announcing that it will finally support wireless charging (yay). It is only a +60% battery option as opposed to the S6 Edge case which was a +100% battery option, but given the larger battery in the S7 edge a 60% boost should be plenty for me (I have often needed the extra power from my S6 Edge Mophie, but I have never run out with it - and 2600*2 < 3600*1.6)...
First Deal I've seen @ $3.99 for the CLEAR NON Prime shipped Ringke S7 & S7 Edge cases from their Offical Store via Amazon. Shipping is free.
The Note 5 Ringke case I had worked well. Ordered last night & it was marked shipped this morning.
Note:*Must select seller Ringke Offical Store and not fulfilled by Amazon in order to get Free Shipping and to apply the promo codes.

does anyone know if any of these cases will work with a glass screen protector. The s6 edge did not have much luck.
I'll be looking for a subtle transparent silicon cover over the coming days. A great combination of protection without making the phone look s**t. I don't see the point is buying a phone that looks like this then covering it in something that takes the looks and feel away.

I agree with that. I'm only interested in bumper or SUPER thin transparent cases.
