Whats the best "Orange" case?

pretty straightforward, but I am looking for a case for my Nexus S in the color orange. Historically I have preferred TPU case's, but the black TPU case I have for this the buttons are incredibly hard to press.
I am not looking for the 2 piece snap on case's as they add to much bulk. So far the only thing thats even remotely close is the ReEarth Ringke
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Google-Nexu...cessories&hash=item4159a49888#ht_10875wt_1063
Anything else out there in Orange worth a damn?

So why don't you get the Ringke case?
If your concern is that the buttons are hard to press, that is not the case with the Ringke.
Also, they're cheaper on the official site.

Too bad Boxwave doesn't make an orange Duosuit TPU case for the Nexus, they do for the Incredible.

I didn't like in the video review for that case how soft and lose the sides are. Seemed slightly better then the cheapo silicon ones, but not near what the tpu ones are.

I haven't seen an orange TPU case either.. If I had cutting the buttons out might be viable depending on how thick the case was.
Edit: So I was hoping to order from the US, but I just ordered this one

Will see how bad it sucks when it makes it here.
Edit 2: damnit its going to fit really bad snce its for the 9023..

Maybe this is what you are looking for?

Searching for case like Diztronic TPU but with better grip

Hi there,
I have the Diztronic case and I'm very happy with the overall fit.
However, I'm searching for a case with better grip on the sides.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Is it slippery on the sides or something? I cant imagine it being more slippery then when the phone is naked. Every time I handle my device I feel like its going to slip and fall as I dont have a case yet.

I don't find it slippery, it's the same hard rubber that Otterbox uses on the defender.

No, its flexible, and barely bigger than the phone itself, it's just not a gel type TPU case, its my first Diztronic so I can't speak to the others. It barely adds any size to the phone, and the case is flexible, but hard rubber.

I'm used to diztronic's gel-like tpu cases I guess, but as long as this case barely adds size I'm all in for the protection. I should be receiving mines tomorrow hopefully
What about mic holes, does the case have openings for mics?

Mine is from T-Mobile so there is no mic on the back. There is no hole for that. For my phone it has every cutout.
---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------
I'd like to add that it does not play well with my screen protector, it pushes up the bottom left corner of it a bit. I'm willing to deal with it because it really adds almost no size to the phone and I feel like its decent protection as well.

Update - got my Brig and i'm really liking it. The sides are a matte (as opposed to gloss), so it does feel a little more grippy than what I have seen from Diztronic in the past. Plus the checkerboard on the back gives it extra tactile grippiness as well. Very happy with my purchase so far.

M8 Clear Cases to Showcase

Hey everyone, so I know there's a few thread about cases which I've read through. But what I'm looking for is any info on good quality clear cases.
The main factor I like is the appearance. It's just about time a company really put an effort into the looks as well as the performance of a current Gen smartphone.
So my question is what clear cases are out there that some of you possibly already have or have seen online? I've scoured amazon and other sites and found some good ones, but still haven't found the "one".
Currently I own the otterbox commuter (too big, covers whole phone), the supcase hybrid with clear back which is what I currently have on. And I placed an order yesterday for the exact prism case with the clear back. Though I now realize the prism and supcase are probably the same exact case....
My issue with the supcase hybrid clear back is the scratches that accumulate so easily on the back. Most of the cases out there are simply cheap. Some are very good for the money but I'm looking for long lasting durable quality.
I have an eye on the supcase unicorn beetle hybrid as well but my turn off is the back being frosted to the point that you can't see the detail or shine of the m8. At least that's what I've seen in pictures.
I'll use an all clear or some kind of hybrid bumper clear back case. I also saw the griffin reveal case, but I can't find any good pics. And from the description it looks like it's the same material as the supcase bumper hybrid. I was hoping the griffins clear back would be a solid hard scratch resistant material.
I've also seen the case mate barely there and some others. So if any of you have any other clear or partly clear cases please post some feedback on how you like them and pics would be great too!

Yes it is.
Just a word of caution with clear cases, they have a tendency to collect lint and crap which is easily noticeable. I had the cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit Case clear and ended up selling it to a buddy. The pocket lint and crap collects under it and bugged the crap out of me. I cancelled my clear UAG order and changed it to black in fear of the same problem.
Now this might not bother some, but bothered me enough to share.

I have the Spigen® [STRONG-FLEX] Capsule Clear Ultra Fit (TPU), it's pretty nice:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...tiveASIN=B00IF5B218&linkCode=shr&tag=cshus-20
Makes me feel like I can toss my phone on the table or something and it will be OK. Doesn't seem to scratch or yellow. Makes handling the phone more fun since I don't have to be so delicate and it seems durable while showing off the nice aluminum case.

I also have this case. Some people have said the edges look yellow. Um no. If the lighting in the room has some yellow in it then it will look like that on the thick sides. This is a very nice case with covered buttons for volume and power. And exact cut outs for everything including back mic, flash and camera lenses. Vs flash and one of the camera lenses being one cut out for both.

I too have the case but pictures using flash don't look right. Almost like the case diffuses the flash light so it's not direct out as well at the object you are photographing. I also have a qi receiver under my case in order to have wireless charging so now I have a black tpu case coming today to hide the qi receiver.

I have this case as well. I like how the power and volume buttons are covered. I can see where some say the case looks yellow, but you really have to take a close look to even notice.
All in all I am happy with the case. My one complaint is a sharp line that extents all around the back of the phone. I think it would have been better to have made this smooth as it would be more comfortable in hand.

Dropped my phone on the bleachers at the game, found my volume up button dented in, non-functional.
Pried it out, unbent it a bit and got it back in, works.
Bummed the case let that happen though. And agree about the sharp edge.

Unfortunately, my clear spigen case has a slight yellowing to it. This was present in purchase, so beware. Otherwise, it is a very good protector that allows the m8's looks to shine.

Thinnest case

What is the thinnest case out? I don't necessarily like cases...just want something as thin as possible for scratch protection.

Rinkge Slim is probably the thinnest. It fits VERY well and is about as minimal as it gets. I really like it.
However, I switched to a TPU case because I can be a bit clumsy and needed more protection from drops on pavement.

If you just want scratch protection then a skin is the way to go.

I have this one and have had it on past phones and I felt it made the 5x quite a bit bigger for a "thin" case. Maybe because its designed to fit flush with the camera and since the camera protrudes out, it the case does too.

I'm probably going to order both the Nillkin and Lg Hardshell and see which one is best. I like that the Nillkin comes in clear and smoked options, too, instead of just solid colors. Haven't been able to confirm that option on the LG case since it doesn't appear for sale in the US just yet.

IMO the Ringke and Spigen "slim" cases look like Otterboxes in comparison to the LG Snap On, that one is basically like a hard skin. The quicksand cases are similar to those in thickness.

How thin is the Nilkin? I don't see it advertised. The LG Snap On is advertised at 0.75mm but we don't know at which point of the case they measured.
The Nilkin is a gel case, or "condom" case as I like to call them. They are thin but that's about all they have going for them.

The nillkin is advertised at. 0.6mm. Not much for rugged protection, I suppose, but should be nice for some coverage without added bulk. Mine just shipped (from somewhere in east Asia) and should be here in about 2 weeks. Will keep y'all posted.

The Lg case has a s light inward curve to it so it's hard to get measurements. After trying multiple angles the thinnest I got was .80, that's coming straight up from the bottom.

Diztronic hands down

I've got my Nillkin Nture TPU case. It's awesome! I don't have pics yet, but will try getting some for y'all when possible. In short, it's amazingly thin for TPU, adding minimal bulk. This is far superior and much thinner than my Cimo TPU case. It's not going to offer much drop protection, but I'm not too concerned about that. Plus it'll certainly prevent scratches. It also has a slight raised edge at the bezel so you can set the phone screen-down on a flat surface and the screen won't touch, but the added bonus here is that since its such a thin case, the offset is minimal which makes it MUCH easier to swipe left-to-right (for example to open an app menu or Google Now) than thicker TPU caes (which can often make it hard to touch the edge of the screen.
Anyway, I'm really happy about this case. It does had small flaps that cover and plug the charging alot and headphone jack, which I waver between liking and disliking. However, those could easily be cut off if wanted. Anyway, easily the best $10 I've ever spent on a case.

Hey I see the listing color options are white, gray, or gold. What color did you get? I'm wondering if by "white" do they actually mean clear?

Yup, the white is actually clear. That's the one I bought.

My Nillkin is on its way from China. I'm excited to get it. I'm using the Ringke Fusion right now and I think the profile is slim along the edges but the extra thickness is killing me.
With the Nillkin should I look into getting a screen protector for the camera lens or does the case lip around the camera keep it from touching the surface?

Best case for good buttons

For those using a case, have you found one that actually offers decent click action on buttons? I like my cimo case, but the buttons are a bit mushy. Looking preferably for a solid color case but if a clear one has great buttons, I'd be willing to try it.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Ringke fusion has great tactile buttons, requires to use a conscious amount of pressure to press it. Used it for previous s6 and n4
Spigen Ultra Hybrid buttons are just crap, total mush and you will have zero feedback that you even pressed the buttons. Used it on n5x
Waiting on reviews of nillkin buttons since prices are almost similar between ringke and nillkin

I've tried three cases for this phone, all TPU or TPU + polycarbonate shell: Tudia Ultra Slim, Lightning Knight Hybrid Defender, and Diztronic Ultra. The Diztronic has the best button feel, it hardly feels different than the buttons without a case. The Lightning Knight is by far the worst, there is almost no tactile feedback on the buttons. The Diztronic is the one I use daily.

I'm thinking of maybe getting the Ringke fusion, although I'm not sure how I feel about the clear ones. If that is necessary for great buttons, then I may have to try it!

Is the Ultra the one that stains your phone or was that a different Diztronic one? I have a black 5x so maybe it wouldn't matter anyway.

The Ultra is this one, it only comes in black and has beefier corners and a taller lip around the screen than the other Diztronic one (which comes in three colors). I have it on a black N5X so if it's staining the phone, I may not be seeing it, but it doesn't look stained to me. I have read that the blue Diztronic case is the one with staining problems.

Thanks. I'm not sure I want the extra bulk so I may go with the standard one. I assume it probably has the same buttons...

I have the Diztronic case and it's quite good. The matte plastic material is very grippy and the buttons have a nice click to them. I can confirm the black case does not stain the black phone.
Only downside for me is I wanted something extremely thin (like a skin basically) and the Diztronic is just normal as far as thickness.

The cases from Google play store are both good. I don't use folio cases so I didn't buy that one or the ugly speck case. Just the nexus one with felt and the Adopted case. Both are super snug and good buttons. Makes it feel more premium to me.

My diztronic case came today and I love it. Feels solid, good grip, correct cut outs, and the buttons are EXCELLENT. Very pleased. Thanks for the help everyone!

If you're still in the market for a 'skin' case, I highly suggest the Nillkin Nature TPU Case (eBay is where I bought mine). It's only 0.6mm thick and is the thinnest "all-around" TPU case I've owned so far. And the buttons also retain most of their click feedback.
But as with thin cases, there is less impact protection and the Nillkin only has the slightest camera bump.

I use the factory case from google on my N5X (the fuzzy one, without the front flap). It fits so well that it feels like I'm pushing the button on the phone without a case. can easily feel the click of the buttons and doesn't feel mushy at all.

I thought the diztronic case was decent quality for price. Buttons on case are good. Not sure I'd agree that it's all the grippy though.

LOVING IT, buttons feel mechanical and easy to use, protective gromments for usb and 3.5mm jack [durable and fixed to case] ultra thin as well.

does it have a lip for the screen and camera?

Nope, I have this case and that's probably the only negative thing I can comment about it. If you lay the phone flat on its back with the Nillkin case the camera is exposed and prone to scratching. I'm now using the Spigen thin fit, has a good lip for the camera bump and doesn't feel too bulky, but yeah no dust flaps for type-c and jack ports.

Another vote for the Diztronic slim fit.
When I bought the phone I originally also bought this Verus case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015GHQM7Q
I was coming from a Galaxy S3 with a ballistic dual layer case so I was used to the added bulk. I found the Verus case to be a little slippery at times but the buttons all worked great and I didn't have any real issues with it. The biggest issue by far came up when I finally tried to hook it up to some aux speakers with a cable. The depth of the case combined with the narrow cutouts for the headphone jack meant none of my aux cables would fit. My usual travel headphones use a more narrow jack so it wasn't a problem until I tried that.
That was a showstopper so I went with the Diztronic for my 5X. I originally had a Diztronic case for my S3 before changing it out and was always happy with it. I literally just received my new 5X case it but I can already tell I'll be using this for awhile. Buttons are better than with the Verus and grip is improved, altho still a little slippery; I remember from my S3 there was a little bit of a break in period. Cut outs are all aligned perfectly and it feels noticeably slimmer than the Verus. I like having the edge lips so I can lay the phone whatever way I want with reduced risk of damaging the glass. Definitely recommend.
