What are people using for Samsung Focus cases?

What case are you using -- and if you bought it online - from where?
Thanks!

Using a Louis Vuitton case that fit the previous HTC Fuse as well. Case is no longer available from LV tho.

That one looks pretty decent from this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835323 )
Maybe move this to accessories? I don't know!

I'm using the Body Glove case they sold at AT&T.
It looks really sharp, and feels safe; it even adds some heft that gives the phone a more solid weight and feel.
My only beef with the case is that the side buttons are hard to find, and hard to feel when pressed (makes focusing while picture taking extremely difficult).

Under comp accessories, the Body Glove item...

I'm using the CaseMate red and black case from the AT&T store. I would have preferred it in all black as opposed to the bright red, but the thing feels very safe for taking to the gym and it adds some heft to it. The raises rubber edges on the front are a nice touch too for the few times I've had the phone face down. The buttons are very easily accessible. My only gripe would be that the two level camera button is a little bit harder to get to use for focusing-- it requires a bit more finesse as a light press will go straight to taking a picture. Other than that, if you can get past the looks of it (which really aren't that bad), I think this is a fantastic case.

Here is what I got today from eBay, the seller is Bluedot.
The fit it really good. Not too tight to activate buttons, not too loose either.
The color is a really dard brown. The flash made it look lighter than it really is.

These pictures were taken with the Focus, then I massaged them in Photoshop Elements 8
The construction seems durable. It cost $9.95 plus shipping.
Time will tell if it holds up.

This case sucks. I bought one from AT&T, and it doesn't fit correctly. You can see the gap from the case to the phone looking into the side where the power button hole is. I'm returning mine as its NOT what i would expect for $30 plus tax. Right now im using my old Nexus One pouch that i tore a small hole on the side to prevent the power button from being mushed in.

PS: to my above post. i see the same case on eBay (i have zero affiliation yet this does look authentic and not a knock off case). See
http://cgi.ebay.com/Authentic-Louis...315509?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3360ad80b5
The top flap does not really work due to the 'extra' height of the phone itself, so i just have it naturally fold behind the phone itself. Note in the side photo it does not touch the power button, so it works well and if i need to silence an incoming call it is easy. Removing and inserting the phone is also easy.
Again, i have zero affiliation with the eBay auction yet this case works well for me.

I have an Incipio hard case that I bought at my local AT&T store. These pics are crappy but I just made them in the last five minutes.

I found this Samsung Galaxy S case at Circuit City and it fit the Focus like a glove! It's not bad, and I found it at a retail location, so that's also kind of a bonus. Hopefully more good ones will come out soon!

How do you like the Incipio? I am thinking about getting one, but not sold on how the case fits around the phone.

I've got one too. I like it, though I also don't mind that it does not cover the top, bottom, or front of the phone.
If that's a problem, then I hope you like having a bright red case because the Body Glove is awful, which leaves your only other choice the bright-red Case-Mate.

I just ordered this, its the only Snap on Hard Case i could find. Hopefully its decent, but for $6 it was worth a try.

Battery Covers?
I'm not really a case kind of guy, but do hate the glossy surface of the back of my focus. Has anyone come across any back plates for the phone with a different surface? A back cover with a soft touch material would make the phone perfect. Thanks in advance...

The invisible shield covers come in a matte style for the back of the phone. I use it and like it.

I bought this the other day,
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004DFBBCE/ref=oss_product
So far i like it, there are nobs on the side instead of cutouts for buttons, and they work as if they weren't there.
The case protects the back camera lens and covers a bit of the front. The areas where it covers on the front basically masks the edges of the screen protector, which makes it look really clean.
The added silicon near the bottom prevents my palm/fingers from accidentally pressing the capacitive keys, which are a big plus for me

Case-Mate Red/Black POP Case is the one I have, and its the best case out. I wish they made it in ALL black. The case provides great protection, Already dropped it a few times getting out of my car, and the case held up great. You buy a phone like this please dont buy cheap arse $5.00 case from ebay. Dont buy the Incipio, that case is garbage. No protection at all.

[REVIEW] XT720 Otterbox with video.

I have put together a video review of the Otterbox Commuter Series Case for the Motorola Milestone XT720.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with this case:
http://www.otterbox.com/Motorola-Milestone-XT720-Commuter-Series-Case/MOT4-XT720-20-E4OTR_A,default,pd.html
It can also be purchased from Amazon.com for a bit cheaper:
http://www.amazon.com/Otterbox-Commuter-Motorola-Milestone-XT720/dp/B004C5P9GY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=mobile&qid=1294146729&sr=8-1
Here is my video review:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrEc_0CNPag

Excellent. I have bought one through Amazon, though the price is astronomical (because of unusual shape), it is worth the money. In initial days I did a lot of SD card swap, SIM swap so the rubber loosened up a little bit, but it is keeping my phone like new in spite of a few bumps.

I have the otterbox case and I think it changes the angle at which the usb/charge cable is attached.
I think over time it is going to cause damage to the micro usb slot.

Otterbox is way too thick and bulky. I prefer SGP Ultra Capsule Case

It already did. At least I managed to break the little cover in a few weeks. And yes there is a high potential that even the contacts will get damaged if not handled carefully through the slot.

I was actually thinking about taking a dremmel tool to mine and sand it down a bit. It's the top of the bevel that causes the problem. I have to agree that there is a huge potential for damage in the long term.

SGP is way better!
I've had the Zagg & the SGP.
My buddy has the Otterbox.
The Zagg doesn't look great & tends to 'smear'.
The SGP is slim fitting, firm & cushy. The screen protector is very good.
The otterbox is a big & puffy, looks like a retard's helmet.
You have to be a douche bag to use the otterbox IMHO.

I know. I'm just goofing around.
I actually only use my otterbox when I know that I'm going to be outside for a long time. I don't want to drop the phone and break it now that I have it just the way I like it!

Even though the SGP case is nice, nothing beats the look of the phone without anything on... Only use the case when I have to since I just love the look of the XT720 natural. The screen protector for SGP XT720 feels good, but I just noticed the other day a small hole in the screen protector - no idea how it happened. Fortunately it's at the bottom by the buttons and not by the actual screen so no big deal but I can't figure out how it could have gotten such a hole... wonder if that would have happened with otterbox.

my otterbox case just came in today, it fits nicely & looks pretty solid too...very pleased with it!!^^

I live in Panamà, so i order it from Ebay ...

I've had this Otterbox since I got my phone last September and have been pretty satisfied with it. I had a similar one on my Blackberry that had the hard case on the inside of the rubber case and the rubber loosened up. Not on this version....even after the numerous battery & SD card pulls during the ROM flashing fun. I do a fair amount of outside work so I feel the need to protect my phone as much as I can.
Also, I used the screen protector that came with the Otterbox, but when I had to replace my phone, it got boogered up. When the new one came, I simply left the temporary shipping screen protector on and it's done quite well.

Accidents happen (Accident After-Action Report) XD
Well I have even more love for this case. Recently I was in a bicycle accident that ripped my chin open and required many stitches. My phone/music player is always in the front synch pouch of my slingbag when I'm riding. When I flew over my handlebars and landed on my chin, I also landed right on the phone and I slid a good 3-4 feet before I stopped. While my chin was pretty messy by this time, my phone came out intact and with a lot less scratches and gauges then I thought. On the plus side, it even has a bit of soaked-in blood on the scratches that makes it look badass .
Overall, I've gotten quite a bit of value out of my initial 34.99 that I payed for it and I'm still using the case since. Hope my future replacement for my XT720 will have as good of a case as my Otterbox.
EDIT: Pics for proof.

Great to see it in action. Now it's just the phone that's missing. But I think the back cover goes on the back or the phone and not on the case itself. Since plastic on glass will create those smudge effect that doesn't look too good tbh.
Got my cases shipped 18th of March but guess it takes abit longer to ship to Sweden than the US. Got the Crystal Clear and Smoke Crystal.

Yes Poetique is right. Ultra Hybrid has hard plastic back and a tpu frame. The Liquid Crystal has a similar look but is all TPU if you want something similar but more flexible.

If you can let update us on the fit. I got their thin fit model and it's really loose. and not snug like the same case for the S4. Apparently a lot of people are complaining about it.

thanks for the pics
i just ordered 3 of them from ebay
50usd for 3 of them includes the shippment

I actually had no idea these things came with clear protectors for the back. Only complaint I have is that they don't fit around the camera and flash/health sensor very well, and will be distracting if the phone's out of the case at any point. And if you want to temporarily switch cases, the poor cutout will be distracting. Almost perfect, but just barely disappointing :T
At the same time, though, I'm not sure if other companies offer that back adhesive.

You guys should seriously consider the Spigen NeoHybrid. Back of case is ruberized. Sides of case, meaning total peripheral is metal. Actually feels superb to hold and you still have that sense of a metal body the naked GalaxyS6 Edge comes with. Nice larger cutouts for headphone plug as well as USB for those with larger connectors. Absolutely no regrets. I did NOT opt for the optional free front screen protector. I like the look and feel of a phone with the screen as is.

I mentioned this to Spigen, they said it's so that it doesn't catch on the case?? Not sure how that's possible, as I'm fairly sure they could have made it go right to the edge of the glass and not have any issues with the case, but oh well, maybe (I hope) they tried that before making them in this smaller size

Is it mandatory to place the back screen protector when using this case? Will the case actually scratch the back glass? Thanks in advance.

you have to decide if its worth it to you to be protected, or you don't care..frankly, since I will probably jump in 6 months to the next great thing, I don't care if the back of the phone has a few scuffs, since it doesn't affect the ability to jump with T mobile. Plus, who stares at the back of their phone anyways..
I did put it on anyways, since it was there, and I figured might as well.
But if you buy it outright, or plan on keeping the phone for a while, you might feel differently

Post has been updated with my full review

I just got mine and I have to tell u guys it's amazing light slim and u don't feel it there only the edges u can see the crystal clear sides ... it's really nice and fit perfectly...

Just an update on this. I have the same case since day 1 of owning the phone. It's got an ungodly amount of scratches, more than any phone I've seen before. Additionally, it has a green tint around the sides. Very disappointed. I would complain to the makers of it but I'm out of the country currently.

Thor Case will make OnePlus 3 a Beast from the outside

Has anyone tried ordering one of these from Aliexpress? I ordered one already and totally excited about it.
Some youtube videos of the case for other phones are already there. I am sure this sleek Beast and the Metal Thor cover would make a Machine in hand.
I ordered the Black one.
All I can say is These got looks and also can surely protect the phone with such bulk build.
PS: Sorry i cant attach pics here. I am new member in the forum and XDA will allow me to post pics after 10 posts. You can always google the case and tell me what you feel about it.

I have it. It's cool as hell but extremely inconvenient. It doesn't exactly fit well, slides with excess space and it likes to pull your screen protector up by the way it holds in place. It's cool as Hell though, forgot where I put it though.

It's because through the hole for fingerprint sensor many times went through the humidity between front plastic cover and the glass of the phone, when i wear phone in my pocket in work, turned by side to my leg. As well front plastic cover after some time started cowering itself so when u touch on display through this u can feel it it doesn't fit.

Yeah, wasn't to happy with the hole for FP scanner. I don't use the scanner and have it disabled, so I went down and bought a package of plastic laminating sheets and cut two oval pieces just bigger than the hole. Put one on front and one on back to cover hole. I work in a cabinet shop and sawdust was constantly getting in, so this solved my issue. I'm not sure, but the FP scanner might still work with it covered like that, not tried it yet to see. Other than that, that Tudia case is great, looks good and offers excellent drop protection. I know first hand, dropped phone from 3 foot up on concrete floor.

When you can't decide on a Skin... Go Elago

So, this is not a sponsored post. I had this case on my S8+ and it immediately changed the look of my phone and made it look good. I've decided to put this on my Note8.
3 quick notes.
1. This is SUPER thin. There is no protection if you drop this phone.
2. This is a PERFECT fit. Trying to use this over a skin or if you have a metal plate for your magnetic car stand will not work correctly.
3. There is no lip at the top. Do not place this face down.
With that said, this is not my every day case but looks good when you want to go almost bare.

That's 100% correct. Think of trying to put a wrap on top of a wrap. Even though they are both thin the one on top will be off by a bit.
I brought this up because with the last phone review I did on a case like this someone tried to put their case on with a wrap and they were bitter about the fit.

I really like these bear motion cases. They're done pretty good work on these, but I don't like that it doesn't go up the top and bottom and there's something to be said for the case wraps around the buttons versus a cut out and it stops. I'm kind of picky in that regard.

That's 100% correct. Think of trying to put a wrap on top of a wrap. Even though they are both thin the one on top will be off by a bit.
I brought this up because with the last phone review I did on a case like this someone tried to put their case on with a wrap and they were bitter about the fit.

I'm glad you did otherwise i might of been a bit gutted too after buying one nice case though.. first one i have seen that covers the camera panel... interested to see more like this

FYI on ali express and dhgate, these types of cases are like $1.00.
Just keep in mind they take a few weeks to get here from China.

Yeah, I'm ok with not using Ali Express. Most of that stuff is junk and then if you complain it takes weeks to get another one. Sizing is almost always off.
Even though the stuff on Amazon is almost exactly the same at least you get some sort of quality control. The sellers there don't want to get booted.

i had the black bear motion for my black note 7. it was sexy as ****. and the sandpaper like grit was superb!

I gave the same on my note 8 and it fits like a glove. I take the risk. If something happens it's on me. But I'm not gonna not use the screen and phone the way it was designed to be used.

Question: Are the sides easily bendable or movable with the eLago case? The "problem" I face with these very thin cases are that due to the nature of the cutouts and the flimsiness of the case, the sides (mainly the left side) move too easily and it drives me crazy sometimes. Especially when I attempt to take it off my car mount where only the sides are being clenched to hold the phone. I know I am being finicky, but hey, I have every right to be.

Trying to figure out whether I want the white or black one. How easy does the white get dirty?

I like the white. It's really a cool offset and your phone is black already. So what's the point.

This is a solid question. While the case is a perfect fit, the issue that I ran into with my S8 Plus is that the case did start to Warp above the power button about four months in. I shot the company a message on Amazon and they sent me a new one out no questions asked. So, it is a thin case but the customer service is above and beyond and that makes up for it
