Hi there,
I am looking for a case for my Note. I am seriously sick of flip cases. I don't see any good use for them as they just add a layer of annoyance for me.
What I am looking for is a case that wraps around the corners.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-note-2-cases/galaxy-note-2-case-ultra-thin-air.html
Like this but wrapping the top and bottom too.
I have a few bumps and scratches I would like to hide.
I can't find a case.
Isn't there any case prefably made out of leather or even faux leather that just wraps my phone ?
edit/
This is acutally exactly what I want (bare in mind this is a case for the Note not the Note2 !!!
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/sgp-samsung-galaxy-note-case-ultra-capsule-series.html
1) very similar to ultra thin air and the like but covers a little better and has good reviews from people on xda: http://www.amazon.com/DBA-Cases-Abu...32909&sr=8-1&keywords=dba+cases+galaxy+note+2
2) casemate tough- thinnest case that provides protection comparable to aegis, uag, and otterbox: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...&sr=1-6&keywords=casemate+tough+galaxy+note+2
3) closest thing you will find to a thin leather case but with no protection on top or bottom: http://www.zoarah.com/foxjail-air-pocket-case-for-galaxy-note-2.html
The last one definetely goes into the right direction but it looks pretty damn ugly to be honest.
This is the case I use on my iPad
http://www.spigen.com/tablets/apple/ipad-2/spigen-sgp-ipad-2-leather-case-griff-series.html
I would be totaly fine with something along that lines. Even if it doesn't cover the top or bottom.
This would be the exact thing I am looking for (unfortunately it's for the Note)
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/sgp-samsung-galaxy-note-case-ultra-capsule-series.html
i have the white one and it looks really good

Ah sorry I should have mentioned that I do not want TPU cases. I have 2 of them already and I don't like TPU cases as they bend and can be "pressed" away.

lol, you do realize that the ultra capsule that "you exactly want" is Made from 100% TPU material. look at the information on the website itself. anyway, the closest thing i know that makes that is the mercury tpu case here (i own a white one- it's definitely a great tpu- not flexible like the cruzerlite cases- its a harder tpu for sure -very similar to the ultra capsule (i owned two for my galaxy note 1)): http://www.amazon.com/Mercury-Flexi...053&sr=1-2&keywords=mercury+tpu+galaxy+note+2
Case Mate Tough....slim but provides good protection. Inner layer is a TPU bumper with a hard shell.

that Spigen Note 1 case is TPU.
"SGP's Ultra Capsule case not only enhances the look of your device but also protects your phone from scratches and drops. It is made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a very tough and flexible material. It can be twisted freely but will never stretch, deform, or rip."
If you want a non-TPU case that covers the corners and edges your options are: Speck, UAG, Otterbox, Duzign, Seido, Body Glove, and Case Mate.
I purchased the one in the link below. Very happy with it.

How 'bout the Galaxy Note II Body Glove Diamond Shell Case?
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.

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.
Any word on a Borderline case for the M8, or any other minimal Bumpers?
im interested in this as well.
Is the main difference between Borderline and their Atmosphere case added protection? I was planning to just get an Atmosphere case from them =\

Yes, Borderline series has a clear plastic back. I really just want a band that goes around the sides
I emailed them and they are not making a borderline case for the HTC One m8 at this time nor have any plans to make one.
Anyone found something similar to the Borderline? Tpu bumper, but just frame, not with plastic back?
i am looking for one as well. i like the beautiful backing and feel of my phone, but just want something that will rest on the surface i put it on so that the phone itself doesnt get scratched

So you think there's a crystal clear (made of transparent plastic or something) bumper only out there? The ones I saw are made of metal and are not transparent, of course...

That's also a nice one. Thank you for sharing. I'm always on the market for new cases, and I don't have a bumper case that I'm particularly fond of. This will be a nice addition to my collection. If you come across a case that is of comparable quality to Otterbox, that would be ideal. I don't have a case that I trust with my heart and soul quite yet

Thanks a lot for the tip. Did you bought it? Does it really improve the grip and works well with a glass screen protector?
Cherrs
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.

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've heard a lot about this one... Also the Nillkin Nature case keeps coming up, too, and lists itself as .66mm thick. That's a pretty slim case, and would be far thinner than my Cimo tpu case. 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.

Based on this guy's caliper and Amazon.com, the Nillkin should be quite a bit thinner than the LG case...

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.

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 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

Just got the Nillkin. Definitely the thinnest TPU case I've ever owned. Also the buttons still retain most of their clicky feedback. This has happily replaced the Orzly as my main case.

This is awesome to hear. I'm pumped...the next 10+ days of waiting for mine to arrive from China are going to be tough! Mind if I ask, from where did you order yours?

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?
