Nillkin TPU Case Review[i9023]

I was going to get the mercury case, but from pictures it was way too thick for my liking so I decided to get this case. The case is titled to be silicone, but it doesn't look like silicone from the pictures so I emailed them and they said it was silicone material so I went for it. I received the case and it turns out it was a TPU case. This case feels REALLY thin for a TPU case so it doesn't add much bulk to the phone. This case is tailored to fit the i9023 so ALL cutouts are perfect and fit is perfect as well. Overall, if your looking for a good TPU case which doesn't add much bulk to it I would recommend this. I don't have a mercury TPU case to compare it to, but I'm really happy with how this turned out. The only con that I would have for this case is that the volume rocker buttons were a bit tight so it would be easily be pressed, but if you stretch the case a little it will fix that issue.

I got this case from Here. It took exactly 2 weeks to arrive and customer service is spot on.

Nice. Would have gotten it if there wasn't a hard nilkin case.

Do you have a screen protector on? Yours is in black I presume?

Best case

What's your favorite case for the vivid? I currently have a no name cheap tpu hybrid case from eBay and it does the job. But I'm curious about what you use.

I have a Spec hard case that I bought at the AT&T store when i got my vivid. It gets the job done but the rubber edges on the cover have started to peel off.

i always use this "s line" case design for all my phones:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Silic...996491?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5651871c0b
very tight fit... not solid like plastic, but slightly flexible enough to not be flimsy.. very good corner protection... i threw my desire hd on the floor on cement once with these.. landed on the corner and bounced back lol.
also has good grip on the sides as you can see... and its also the only case ive had on my phones that doesnt seem to affect signal

Awesome deal.

I don't use a case xD

I have the Otterbox Defender, but it starts to stretch. The rubber in the corners doesn't fit as nice as it used to be.

Otterbox Commuter I've used for approx.two years.I was taking it off the other day to clean my vivid and the top of the case cracked around the power button.I contacted otterbox online and followed there instrucions on a warranty claim and they are shipping me a new case at no cost.You can't go wrong with that kind of service/warranty.It's been a great case and the phone has taken many drops on concrete with no damage with this case also.

I gotta second this. Their warrantee service is second to none. They replaced a Defender for my Vivid because the rubber was stretching and tearing. They replaced a defender for my son's One XL because the rubber was tearing and case was cracked. The replacements showed up within days, virtually no questions asked. My son is pretty rough on his. The phone would be trash long ago if not for the OtterBox protection.

I've been using an Incipio hybrid case ever since my Otterbox started tearing (see above) and I have only one complaint, the outer hard shell is brittle and can crack if dropped the right way. It survived very many drops and its not cumbersome in my pocket, something I cant say for my old Otterbox.

This is the case I have love it

So dig this.
I had some problems with my Vivid. The AT&T store bought it back from me for $100.00 . So I got an LG Optimus G Pro.
Why am I goin on about this here, In the case thread?
If you live near Romulus,MI I will give you my Otter Box case for free. I will NOT ship this. I'm gonna hand it to you.
PM me for details.

SO the rubber on my speck started to disintegrate from heat and use so I got this and I love it even more than the speck... It adds more protection and doesn't fit as tightly as the speck giving it some more breathing room

I got mine in black at the BABBQ. Looks and feels great, but I don't have a way to grab a pic with the phone in it right now.

Pictures of the case on the phone would be nice. Use a mirror? I might call around my T-Mobile stores to see if they have this case. One store some cases but didn't really like them. I didn't even try the body glove case because I wanted some color and it looked bulky. Might try it though.

The Body Glove case and the window cases are over priced as well. Wish they had a Neo Hybrid case for G2.

Agreed over priced but got the phone spur of the moment and went from note 2 to this so it felt really small in my hand So i spent the money and got the body glave over all I'm very happy with it though

I have to say I like the way this seems to fit. Is it as snug as in the photos you guys have posted? Any issues with the lip of the case digging or lifting up screen protectors?

This cases would fit the at&t lg g2?
Edit: never mind they finally added the at&t version at their website.

Not sure what happened but I got another orange cruzerlite case today and I'm pretty sure I didn't pay for two. lol

I have the same question as DefTaker,
Does it lift screen protectors?

Tech21 Cases

Tech21 doesn't seem to get a lot of attention in this group. I'm just wondering what everyone thinks. I have an Evo Check for my phone and it is a great case. Fits well and seems like it would protect the phone. Still, I also want a folio type case, to protect the screen. Tech21 has this case: https://www.tech21.com/en_us/evo-wallet-galaxy-note8-black
Does anyone have any experience with it that would tell me whether it would be a good or bad purchase?

Their cases are too slippery and they make so few cases for the Note 8 I over look them. Quality is crap for how much they cost

Yes, they are quite expensive.

I hope this information helps. I also wanted a folio type case to protect the cover as all the screen protectors seem to be pretty lacking. I went with my wife to the T-Mobile store where she wanted to get an S8 Plus and this case that you picked out was close to what she got. Was given a drop test by the cashier using his own phone. The packaging was pretty plain and I wasn't that impressed but wanted to get in and out and we got it. After checking it out after she had it a few weeks I went ahead and ordered the one that you pasted a link for above. Honestly I recommend it. Pretty sturdy and thin but protects the phone quite nicely. has a clip clasp and obviously covers the front. Not bulky but not skimpy either... My fourth case for the note lol and this one is a keeper.. Go for it.

I use the Tech21 EVO as it fits with the Dome Glass protector I have. This is my first Tech21 case but the version I got is not slippery at all due to the back.

Looked into that. Its a nice case, but that clasp needs to be magnetic or something, I found the plastic push-in clasp to be cumbersome to open and close quickly.

My s5 it has a tech 21 case has 3 years old and it fel so many times. It is an impressive piece of engenering, just the sound it makes when it its the floor...it sounds muted like it is made from ruber.
Off course i would get a tech 21 for my note 8, choose the evo wallet because ...such a big screen ...
It is very expensive.
they are not slepery unless one has spider hands!
I wish they made a case that completly isolates the phone, and another one so that i can put the phone on my bikes like rokform does.
I am very happy with my evo!

Q: Tech21 Evo check case

Was wondering if the above mentioned case has a slight sticky tacky feel to it which I like.?
I remember the Tech21 Mesh series ones on older Samsung devices had a wonderful slight tacky sticky feel to thier edges of the cases. Thanks.

It does slightly but if you have greasy fingers stay away

Cheers. Was looking for something with a slightly sticky tackey edges.
I think it was the Mesh series Tech21 I had for the S7 , edges were orange colored and had a slight sticky tacky feel to it.

I've been using this case since day one. I tried a few others, but keep coming back to it. It's a great case. I'm not sure about tacky, but it is not slick. I've never even come close to dropping my phone.
Just one word of warning. My wife got the white Evo Check, and the white yellowed pretty quickly. We just threw it away and got a cheap case on Amazon for her. My black case is still in perfect shape.

I primarily use a leather type folding case on the N8, but have tried a few regular cases which I find in all honesty uncomfortable to hold for long.
I find the edge tpu plastic or whatever it is hard to the touch. Was hoping to find a case that has soft compressible sides. The skins are soft and pliable but the edges are too thin for protection.

Note8 Tech21 evo check users, can help see if your case inside edge facing screen near top of power button is there a small extra protruding bit? Wondering if mine is defective. Thanks. Mine is black case, also tell me if yours is black or white.
