These cases look amazing and I'm interested in to getting the Nillkin one which is made for the i9023 Nexus S, but is it really just for looks? I don't want to get this case if it doesn't protect my phone from a simple drop while walking on the street. I've watched and heard many good reviews about how the case looks and feels, but how good is it protection wise? Thanks.
It's common sense that a case is there to protect the phone. Even though in this case (pun intended) you cannot expect it to offer the protection of some other bulky alternatives, it's still better than nothing. As long as the sides protected by the nillkin hit the ground first I believe you should be ok.
I ordered it about a week ago, should be here in one or two weeks and I'll be able to provide a more hands-on opinion.

Ehh.. Can't resist the temptation. After reading some more reviews from the G2x Thread and the Nexus S post I think I'll get it..
I've always been a fan of rubbery/TPU cases myself. Most hard cases I've used in the past pop right out when dropped and those "light" hard cases don't protect your phone on all sides.
Dunno, just seems a bit light on the protection in the end and more expensive than TPUs.
I really like this incipio feather. Its hardly noticeable.
OK so my Nillkin case finally came. I didn't expect much since in the past I bought some other products made to look like other product (ripoffs). Thought this was the case with this and the Incipio Feather. I'm happy to say that it I was wrong.
It adds very little bulk to the phone, and has a snug fit. It feels much better in the hand, due to the rubbery finish, and the cutouts are exactly where they should be.
The screen protector bundled is acceptable although as I was previously aware, due to the curved screen there is a small gap on all sides and the top and bottom does not stick very well. There probably are are better ones out there but I'm happy with it.
I'm not into the habit of dropping my phone so the minimal protection it offers is enough for me. If you are looking for a case to withstand minimal impact, prevent scratches an look awesome I do not believe there is a better alternative for the i9023.

Thanks for the review, think I'll buy this one.
I've been using a Incipio Feather and I'm loving it!
Hey, do you have a link for that Nillikin case? Bc I went on their website and I didn't see anything.

Look around on obostore.com. I decided last minute that I wasn't going to get this case, but get the silicone and TPU cases from Nillkin. Anyone have either of them(Nillkin Silicone/Nillkin TPU)?
Got a Nillkin lately which is OK. Wondering though how does it compare to Incipio Feather in terms of thickness. Which one makes it more bulky ?
BTW, wondering any frame cases for NS...
Quite like the look of the Case-Mate. Seems like a good balance of protection without adding to much bulk to the device.
The thin cases like these really do help... although they look skimpy they have saved my Nexus a few times. I dropped it down the stairs the other day and not a scratch. If it didn't have it on there I don't know how smashed up the back would have been...
I really want to get a case similar to one of these but not sure which one to get...
DoDo - I like the style of this one, seems very slim. Not sure about the "adhesive" tape to hold my tablet in though. Seems a bit cheap for such an expensive case.
Portenzo - I would buy this right now except the size of the case when it is folder over. I love that it has the "intellistand" feature, but the cover doesn't fold over backwards very well.
Treegloo - Haven't heard great things about the Nexus 7 version of this one...
are there other options that are similar? Not interested in a black leather case, style is important. Tuff-luv cases look like universal for any 7" tablet.
I'm in the same boat and i'm going with dodo. Treegloo looks way back ordered and is super expensive, portenzo is having mixed reviews and support sucks, dodo uses adhesive and keeps the tablet thin and light. Apparently the adhesive is really strong and doesn't leave residue so that's what I'm getting.
Sent from my paranoid Nexus 7.
I wasn't sure about the Dodo because of the adhesive - don't really want that on the back of the Nexus, just in case.
I've had a Treegloo iPad case before and got one for the Nexus 7. There are other reviews about it on here if you check them out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30374875 I can't really add much to what the others have already said. It's a really nice case, but it may take a while to come in because of demand.
My brother ordered a Portenzo and that just came in. It's nice as well, but the button access is really hard to get to. I can't even get to them easily and I have tiny hands (have to use my nails to press anything). The cover material has wear on the spine after a few days, but it maybe it's supposed to do that?
I think they're all good, but I'd rather have a frame for the extra protection. Seems too high of a price for the Dodo not to have anything except adhesive.
I'm using a dodo case and I can honestly say its fantastic! Adhesive is super super strong! Build quality is excellent as well.

My sister got one HTC One M8 case one month ago. She really love it,it's awesome fast.Her birthday is coming, i consider buy one phone case for her because i always hearing her complaining about the slippery metal case.
I looked through many cases and chose 3 cases from 3 different shops. My final choice based on Price,Quality,Slippery Resistant. Now i am confused ... Guys，what is your opinion，which one would be best gifts? (PS: MY SISTER LOVES CARTOON)
Adventure Time Custom Hard Plastic Case! http://www.casecoco.com/shop/adventure-time-htc-one-m8-cases-8734-165

The Adventure Time one is too cool.
Cases
I got the Carbon Fiber on and it is junk. No protection for screen as it has not lip on front. I also think it caused a scratch near the screen as it is hard plastic. It is also hard to get off once it is on.
I just got the Spigen clear case off of Amazon and it is great. Good protection without too much bulk. Clear also shows the nice aluminum back of the phone. Came in around $17.00 with shipping. Highly recommend.

I don't wanna derail this discussion too much, but I was kinda interested in that Carbon Fiber one. I don't care about protection really, I just want something for grip. Is it grippy or is the carbon fibre look just for show? Also on the pictures it looks kinda thick (looking at the area around the main camera)..can you confirm this? Thanks

It is hard plastic. It is not too thick and the sides are prettty thin. It is probably better grip than naked.
Again, I would not recommend as I feel it scratched the phone. I thought the screeen glass was scraped but I think it is the gasket between the phone and glass. It is a very tight fit and the plastic has very little give.
There are many other cases out there so I would recommend staying away from this one.

Go for the Bear Motion Sand case.
http://www.amazon.com/Bear-Motion-H...280&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=bear+motion+sand+m8
Not much in the way of protection for the screen as there is barely any lip, but it makes the phone soooo much easier to hold. Its only like $7 bucks on Amazon. Its super grippy since it has a sandpaper-y type texture on the back. Feels and looks great.
Get the unicorn beetle supcase. The design of this phone is what separates it from the rest and I just cannot understand why one would want to put it in a case that will cover up the beautiful metal back of the phone. I have the supcase and love it.
PROS:
1) Good fit. Case fits phone like a bodysuit yet still allows for easy removal due to the softer and flexible rubber material around the lips.
2) Good quality. All cutouts(including the one for the tiny mic on the back) are precise and spot on.
3) IR Blaster feature on phone works with this case.
4) Case does not make phone look bulky. Phone still looks thin and sleek even with the case on.
5) Good value and great case for the price.
CONS:
Back is frosted/opaque, not clear but still allows the back to show through.
I think so
Your words are quite useful!!!But i still want to ask if they have supcase central part is clear ?

Completely agree..however, was thinking of getting one of these wireless charging pads for the phone..the spigen clear case I currently have would look real ugly with the ccharging coil showing.. same goes for the suoacase, otherwise, it looks quite nice.
One more question!

Clear Supcase
First one would be best,more choice and more surprise
Loving those adventure time cases (I'm a fan myself haha). Definitely get one of those for your sister!
So have you made the final decision? if not, i recommend the wallet case cover. it can protect your sister's whole phone,both the back and the screen.:good:
M8 Case with stand
I bought one M8 Duo Armor GREEN for HTC One (M8) Combo Case with Stand and Holster from Amazon. The case protects my phone well, easy to grip and can stand on desktop for video watching. The case is quite multifunctional. And only sell $7.94.::good:
The Otter Box is the best case for the phone.
Fait Accompli
HTC one m8 Cases
When you are buying phone HTC one m8 they usually offer you the dot view case at the ATT, but the price is little too high, so I got some good and I would say cheap deal on Casezz.com and shipping is free.
Best Case
That SUPCASE on Amazon looks pretty sweet.. It has a ton of positive reviews as well.
My vote goes to the SUPCASE but if your sister likes cartoons one from the first link has got to be the way to go for kudos.
Hi,
has anyone tried the Samsung Clear case for the Edge? It's the bumper case style case from Samsung. Not the clear view.
http://www.samsung.com/global/galax...es/accessories_galaxy-s6-edge_clear-cover.jpg
I really like the design but i am wondering how much it protects the phone? Is it good enough? Will your phone be safe if you drop it?
I tried, I don't advice to get one because of its price and it doesn't protect nothing if the phone falls only if hit the corners other then that the phone is naked. It's only good to protect the camera if you put on top of the table, and the other thing is because our phone is glass when you put this case you will have bubbles beneath, between the back of the phone and the case. Not well made this. It's beautiful other then that isn't good.
Have it, love it, never drop tested it.
But I have bumped it a few times on the corners (and back) and no scratch or damage at all.
Unlike the guy above that doesn't use it, mine does not have bubbles between the back glass and the case.

You cant actually say that case is protective because its not, let me show you mine so everybody can see that im not lying.
and you can see the difference from another one i have Ringke Slim that has no bubbles.
Its not my first phone or my first case you know
I Don´t Recomend It
I have it, looks awesome, and I never had the feeling of normal cases where I want to take them off all the time, but I dropped it from 30cm and the thing looks awful and has like a kind of crack on the corner, so if I get to drop it at normal height (around 1m) I´m not sure if it will protect anything.
I recomend the spigen Neo Hybrid it's the best match for the s6 edge but here in Mexico they only sell the clear case.
I have one & have been using it ever since I've had my S6E since launch day. I love it b/c it allows me to place the phone on its front or back without touching the phone on the surface, it's very light, shows off the looks of the phone, and makes the phone look cool. I had 2 aluminum bumper cases & one hard clear TPU case but I sold them b/c I like the Samsung clear view case much better.
I'm planning to purchase a Ringke Fusion smoke clear TPU case, however. Not as a replacement but as an addition.

Blame it on user (marco) error. Mine has zero bubbles. Perfect and easy.
I think i might get one. So far its the only one i saw that doesnt make the phone look ugly.
Don't. It scratches so easily when I was not even using it.
Here is the story: Got it free when I bought the edge on launch date. Used it a bit but I'm one of those guys who likes the phone naked. Kept it on a place where it won't get moved or touched. Some days I carry it around without the phone just in case. After a few weeks and I try to put it back on, so many scratches that it's so dirty looking. I didn't even freaking use it. >.>
im strugling to find a good case that protects well enough but doesnt look like crap.
I don't like it
I got this case for free with the pre-order for my phone.
Having used it as well as a Spigen Ultra Hybrid case and a UAG case, the bottom line is that it provides the least protection, but shows off the look of the phone the best. It is absolutely useless if you are the type to drop your phone often, or like to throw it around. I would very much recommend the UAG case for that. However, it excels at preserving the look of the phone, and is, in my opinion, the best case for the phone if you just want something to cover the rear and prevent scratches when placing it on a surface, and preventing scratches from minor bumps to the corners of the phone.
It should be noted that being a first party product, it is quite expensive. Overall, I would give it 10/10 for looks, 2/10 for protection, and 6/10 for value (I would give it a lower score for value since it offers so little protection or features, but so far its the only case I found which actually manages to keep the phone looking as good as it does naked).
I'm using one, got it free with a wireless charger. Loving it, feels invisible and removes that slippery feeling the back of the phone has.

How can I be blame? I'm simply giving my opinion and a lot of users agree that's is to expensive for the quality, I use a ton of cases and never got any problems with them, other then bubbles this one gets dirty and fingerprints all over in a few hours. But maybe it's only mine that's a fingerprint magnet [emoji4] [emoji6]
So what is the purpose of this case? Everyone seems to say it wont protect your phone from a fall but i thought that was the whole purpose. From what i see in the images, the case raises above the phone's level so the case should hit the ground before the phone for every side unless the ground is very uneven. Just like the first bumper case for the Iphone, it seemed to only protect the sides but the fact that it added a couple of mm between the phone and the ground really made it work. I dropped my iphone a bunch of times and it never actually touched the screen or back.
Can anyone confirmmy theory or did Samsung just fail with this case?
My gf wanted the Kate Spade case for her S6 Edge. While it does look like very good protection, the fact that the buttons become difficult to press seems like a deal breaker
I have it and I did not use for even a single day. Because its very slippery in the hand and does not protect the sides of the phone. But I agree that it looks beautiful but would definitely not recommend it at all.
I've had it for a month until I got my hands on incipio. This case is much better. With the clear case it scratches very easily.

it doesnt offer much protection but damn does it look good!
For those of you who already own the 5, do you think with the aluminum w/ resin coating body that it still needs a case? Just wondering your thoughts.
Thanks!!
I think it doesn't strictly NEED a case.
The back is made of durable materials (i.e. not glass ?)
I still got a screen protector tho. I used my Pixel 4 without screen protector and it got scratched pretty badly when it fell on tile floor. ?
That being said, it totally depends on personal preference.
I tend to be pretty careful with my phones and I rarely drop them.

Yeah, I agree. You don't HAVE to buy a case, but it prob is a good idea.
That sux. I guess that's better than nothing. I'm not a fan of screen protectors myself, but I know some ppl who always buy them.
That's good that you're careful with them. I am too, but even though rare, I still may drop mine here or there. lol
I went ahead and ordered one of Google's fabric cases for the 5. I've heard from a couple ppl that they feel really nice in the hand, and they can be washed in the washer too I guess.
Though choice for me this time.
I love the build and feel of the device so i actually don't want to use a case, and if i do i would really need a grippy and really slim one.
But I'm going to start with a skin to get some form of protection without changing to much.
Still debating to use a screen protector as I'm no fan of them and i believe it's not really needed with gg 5 or 6.
I also think it's fast to satisfying to touch this nice raisin coating. My last phone (huawei mate 20 pro) had both curved glass front and back, and after using it for nearly two years only with a skin and screen protector it finally fell down the day I was changing those and cracked on both sides...
Since the mate was nearly twice as expensive and less durable from day one, I think a case is only worth it if you plan on keeping the phone for several years or if you want to sell it in a prestine condition.
But at this price point I think I'll just enjoy my pixel again with just a skin and screen protector.
TL;DR:
Even the slimmest cases make the phone nearly twice as thick so they actually increase the probability of dropping it so a nice skin and screen protector should already do the job
All good points made here!
I ordered a Google fabric case for my Pixel 5. But I guess I COULD just return it if I don't feel like keeping it, and just go case-less. We shall see..................................................
I used my pixel 5 since launch without a case on, no issues at all. My bellroy leather case has arrived now, nice slim fit and soft leather back. It's really nice
A case is going to give you some cushioning if dropped. As one that drops his phone from time to time, a case is essential to me for that reason alone.
