Supcase Hybrid/Gel Case for M8

I got this case and was amazed by the great fit it had to the phone! It arrived in some great packaging and was so happy they had easy to remove protective film on the case. Other products have me peeling at it for 20-30 minutes sometimes to get it all off the clear pieces of the case.
I put it on the phone and it slipped right in with that reassuring "snap" sound once the lip of the case came to the front of the device. I have a bodyguardz glass shield on my phone and the lip on the case doesn't interfere with it at all! the sides of the gel feel firm and don't warp or bend away so easily which keeps everything smooth and easy to use.
My only problem is the clear piece on the back. It came with scratches and defects on it. Also the cut out for the secondary mic isnt correct. It's off and the mic sits at the bottom right of the cut out. When holding the case, i place my pinky finger underneath the phone near the usb and headphone cut outs and the gel cuts are SHARP! It feels like I will cut my finger but that won't happen. But it is VERY uncomfortable. It hasn't caused any problems but these three issues have only left it from being great.

I also ordered these:
SUPCASE All New HTC One M8 Case - Unicorn Beetle Premium Hybrid Protective Case for HTC One 2014 (Frost Clear/Black) &
URBAN ARMOR GEAR Case for HTC One (M8), Slate
Once I get these i will post pics and impressions also.

I have the same case currently. Really love the fit and feel. Also the fact that the back is clear and not frosted was my main buying point. I really feel the m8 needs to be shown off, its by far the most attractive phone I've had or seen.

I have this case as well and the fit and finish is very very good. It is very form fitting and doesn't add much bulk. Also, the TPU is extremely clear compared to other 'clear' TPU cases I've seen. I'll be adding a decal to the back of my phone and it will be able to show through really nice with this case.

i just got this case yesterday and i love the fact that is doesn't add much bulk, definately shows off the aluminum finish, and looks great. my only issue with it is that it kind of bows on the upper and lower portion of the phone and doesn't sluggly the upper and lower sections of the phone. hopefully over time and with the heat from being it my pocket it will correct itself. other then that, love the case! definately worth the little money i actually paid for it. =)

Review of the Roocase Plexis Case for the Galaxy S6 Edge

Hi every one, this is my first review on xda so if i missed anything or you guys have any other questions id be happy to answer. I received this case for review about 2 weeks ago, it came in a neat box with a magnetic flip so you can see the full case in the package. Every benefit of the case is explained on the box. My first impression when I took it out was that you notice quality right away, yes cases nowadays are made of cheap materials and whatnot but the time and thought spent on designing these and making them better for the average user I bet is substantial. I like how it is somewhat of a hybrid case because the back is hard plastic and the sides are softer but still sturdy tpu. The corners were blown out just enough for drop protection, not too small not too big. I love how the volume and power button are also protected, and the case has its own built in buttons to replace it instead and those will take the damage over time. The buttons feel good, and they have the click when you press which is also nice. Taking a look when the phone is flat, the case protects the camera on the back by having little curved stands on the corners of the case. And it also protects the screen face by overlapping the softer tpu on the bottom and top of the case around the phone. All the cut outs are precision cut, so connecting your usb nicely keeps it tugged in. I bought a cheap single coil wireless charger and it does the job with this case on with no problem. I work as a forklift operator, moving big granite slabs, with having a nice camera on the s6 I am constantly getting off to take pictures of slabs, its also somewhat of a dusty environment at times. The case compliments my work by not being in the way and adding extra grip while holding the phone to take pictures or just using the phone. Its definitely not dust proof but it holds up nicely, I would clean it about once a week to take the phone out and clean the dust back there. Ive only had two other cases for this phone which was a cheap tpu case which was junk and a body glove case which was minimalistic protection compared to this case, it didn't have protection for the volume and power buttons, way more dust would go in, the camera wasn't as protected and neither were the corners of the phone. Another plus with the Roocase is the clear back, you can see how nice our phones back glass still is. All in all, great bang for your buck in my opinion, i rather go for the smaller less protected cases that keep our phones sleek and nice looking than the full fledged otterbox defenders or commuters that give loads of protection but crappy usability and look to the phone, too much protection makes the phone look like a samsung s3 in my opinion and way too bulky to use with one hand. So there it is, my first review, i am very happy with this case and would recommend it to anyone looking for a minimal but still protective and very nice looking case.
link on amazon to get this case :http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-S6-Edg...id=1436696362&sr=1-1&keywords=roocase+s6+edge

Hi srkoza,
Thanks for your first review and it definitely was a good one! I'm personally an S6 Edge user and I feel the same way about my Plexis, though I do a constant switch between this and the Exec Tough, just for the fun factor.
On another note, we're happy you are enjoying the case and hope it provides all the functionality you need!

Review - Kuteck Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Case

Note: I received this case at a discount in return for submitting a review.
Also Note: I have given several reviews for phone cases for the Note 5 and this is the first one I have ever given a product 5 out of 5 stars
Although this shows as not having arrived yet on Amazon, it arrived yesterday and is now my favorite case for use whenever I am going out somewhere and need to ensure it will be able to withstand any drops... and may become my favorite overall case.
This is a case which is two pieces, black rubber and gold colored stiff plastic. You pull the case pieces apart, pop the black rubberized material piece onto the phone and snap the hard plastic piece on to hold it in place. It is extremely well made and fits on the phone very tightly.
One big advantage this case has over other protective cases is the bottom is actually indented slightly to make all the ports and the S-Pen easier to reach, while still having that thicker feel with solid thicker rubber at all four of the corners for great protection. It does also allow the phone to be places on any flat surface without having the screen or the camera lens touch the flat surface. Wireless charging works well with this case.
I haven't taken it off since I got it - and it is growing on me!

best thin case note 20 ultra with grip

I find most cases get slippery on the sides.
I had speck in the past but it was OK any others that you recommend thanks

From what I've seen so far:
1. Spigen Liquid Air - Seems to have some good grip potential, especially with ridges on the sides. However, the gap around the camera bump is an interesting design choice...
2. Samsung OEM Matte Black Silicone Case - Seems to have a decent grip on the matte finish and very minimal.
3. Pitaka Air or MagEZ Case - While I haven't used them myself, I've heard good things about the grip/feel of the Ipitaka cases.
I'm personally going to try the PItaka MagEZ case when it becomes available (Aug 21st) since I like the idea of having embedded metal so I don't have to stick a scosche metal piece on the back of the case.
Also, just a heads up. According to some initial reviews on the new speck 'grip' cases, they're using a more plastic-feeling material for grips instead of rubberized and people are not happy about it. (I previously used them as well)

I switch phones often, but one thing that remains constant is my Pitaka MagEZ cases. Have purchased well over 10 of them at this point. Wouldn't choose any other thin case

Does the pitika have a lip to protect the screen? Thanks

The "Air" series cases generally don't rise above the screen.
They do have a thicker "Pro" series option with a raised lip to protect the screen, bumpers on the corners, etc.

The cloth one does as well since there's a slim silicone band along the edge.

Yes I've seen the one the only concern I've read it's a little difficult to remove the spen.. Your thoughts.

I will never choose Pitaka again.
Edges are rough and the upper part could have covered more
But I especially won't because it damaged my Note 10+ because of a defect in the inside of the case that made a grain of sand sized hole in the back of my phone.

Been using the Zizo Bolt on my Note 10+ for over 6 months. Excellent grip, usability and protection.
Kick stand doubles as a grip; either fully retract/extend it to keep from losing it's pins, if not secured in either position they can work their way out in your pocket! No issues with this case otherwise.
The one for the 20 seems to come with a temper glass screen protector; that may not work so well.
That's not present on the one for the 10.
Presumably you can use it without and substitute one one your choice?
Damn the 20's cam has a big bullseye on it... no likey. Buying a good case for the 10+ was very hard early on, no doubt the 20 U will be harder to protect

you know i never thought trying to find a case was going to leave me so hard pressed. note i do not mind the camera bump one bit. but they could have rounded out the camera hump a bit more. not the corners, but where the surface meets the edges and also they could have slanted the sides a bit more angled. who knows they did pull it off pretty good.
still on the camera bump.
note: with JJNUSA leather case you will be covering the mic on the camera bump. if that is a problem for you look elsewhere for a case.
i have received 200 in incentives to order goodies when i got my phone pre ordered and used it to order a few cases.
cases i ordered:
samsung rugged: bulky, heavy, don't like the texture on the back and flimsy kickstands that shoot off when used
samsung leather case: upgrade from last years, 2g lighter. seamless, but warps at the bottom. good cam protection.
samsun silicon: unsure if food grade safe. and slippery as glass
-other cases-
spigen Rugged Armor: oddly best all tpu case with carbon fiber accents. the back is slippery if trying to reach across the screen. side bumpers have one way slip grip and flimsy. camera is well protected. pen cut out too deep corner exposed but covered. top /bottom bumper good but top may block ear piece. 2g heavier then jjnusa leather
...now my official review of the JJNUSA Handmade Leather Case...
NOTE i used amazon prime
don't let the first pic they have on amazon throw you off, but what bothers me is the video they added to the product and it is of the s20 ultra; the camera lens is so scratched. i am still baffled how they did that. then again we will see in due time, because i can not stand the samsung leather case(which got me hooked on leather cases oddly) it is too slippery. the jjnusa case has tpu sides and saddle leather on back with plastic on the inside that the phone rests on. but i will say the leather on the back is so soft i think it sorta makes up for the lack of suede like the official samsung case has. then again the leather is so thick its' edges pop out the mold a teensy-weensy bit, but i doubt with proper use and not picking at it it will survive for a long time. with the 5% off coupon i also got another 1 usd off(who knows if it was the amazon prime). so for 19.95 it is a steal. most other leather cases are $30+. a steal; why may you say? hold on let me get to the rest of it. if we all remember the lg g4 leather back it was a looker. that was it, because it scratched easily and punctured easily. then we go onto the samsung leather case that scratches easily with minimal show. further more i can not say what that will mean over long term usage with this case from jjnusa. treat it lightly and it should be fine. now back to the leather on the jjnusa case. the leather reminds me of the type you get on a saddle and does not separate from itself. that is a plus. but a minus if the antiquing they use comes off very very easily?, and it does(con or not?) i had a cane that had antiquing and it turned my hands black, but after it leveled out it was fine. you know they always slap so much on to fill in the design that almost certainly more then half they put on will rub off. i have rubbed off some already. hence it would not rub off like wow, i had to use my nail. no way does it show like scratches on the samsung leather case. either way the extra antiquing will no matter what fade away over time and settle down to where it should be. i still think it will look good. at the same time the leather is much more scratch resistant then the latter. and the design and the look really grew on me. now on to the sides. the power button and volume are labeled with symbols and i like it even though i will never look at it. what else i like is that they are tpu like the rest of the sides. the tactile of the buttons are sturdy then again not too stiff not too mushy. then there is a bonus or an achilles heal; you move down the same side as the buttons and find a wrist strap punch out so you can add a wrist strap. have not tested it, seems like it should be worthy of use and not fearing. the bonus is removing the phone from the case, it does not shoot out like it does with the samsung leather case does. still it holds it in better. this is where i tell you that the jjnusa case has way better screen protection that leaves a better feel in the hand. the samsung leather case has a squidgy spongy top and bottom. the bottom is already warped and i never used it; i just put it on a few times and took it off. also a fail for the bottom bumper is the difficulty to remove the spen without nails. the jjnusa case is cut out just right and since it is thinner and more stiffer in a good way you can press your thumb or finger and hear that satisfying click to eject it. with that said the top and bottom bumper are raised higher then the samsung to protect the screen. the samsung case is more flush and flimsy.
i am a happy camper and if it fairs well i will update to 5 stars from 4, but i am really thinking at the price to slap down for another. as we all know leather cases do not last as long as other types
the reason i gave it 4 stars is i never really heard of JJNUSA till i saw them on etsy.com and since they where based in china i thought meh. then i thought to ebay's third party cases and said but leather? does not smell much like leather, oddly that is how saddles with the same type of leather smells. or it could be the antiquing they used and the shipping package. it was not shipped in a box or cheap plastic, it was in a cloth sleeve in a sealed padded envelope. JJNUSA do claim Oregon origins... yeah right etsy.com says ships from china.
i have played around with plenty of cases and phones in cases so it's not like i only have really had the note 20 ultra... just do not get one of them ultra thin all tpu cases. i have one for my lg g4 and only really protects the sides and back. busted the screen.

I have already dropped it having it about 3.6 feet drop going swap when it landed on its' back side. my heart sunk, but the case did its' work and saved it. a plus for the case. it was not dropped it was knocked down from a propped up position onto a hard wood flooring
