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...
Hey everyone,
At the moment I use a rubber TPU case (that looks ugly) and is somewhat bulku. My priority is getting the phone in least bulk and reasonable protection to go with it. Preferrably stylish.
Any suggestions?

That's exactly what I'm NOT looking for:
"My priority is getting the phone in least bulk and reasonable protection to go with it"
That is I don't want heavy cases, I just need lightweight cases, as light as possible, with reasonable protection - sorry if I wasn't clear.

Nice looks good protection and not as bulky as the otterbox

Is it lightweight? Because Otterbox is SERIOUSLY bulky, and I'm looking for LIGHTWEIGHT case - that is the main thing for me.
I mean "not as bulky as otterbox" still sounds bulky, doesn't it?
It is lightweight.
Look it up on google. There are plenty of pics on their site and there must be a review on xda too.

I have the official note 2 bumper case from Samsung. It's pretty lightweight, looks great, and offers good drop protection from most angles. There isn't enough of an overhang to really protect the screen if it fell flat, but otherwise a back/corner drop should be well covered.
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Protec...398878790&sr=8-2&keywords=note+II+bumper+case
The Diztronic TPU cases are also great, it doesn't look like a lot of protection, but I had one on my S3 and dropped it on tile, wood, gravel, and asphault without any major damage. They also feel and look great in hand. This probably is a bit better than the Samsung case on a face-flat drop since it's raised higher above the screen.

I'm a big fan of seidio active cases. They're less bulky than you think, but still offer great protection. Look good too.
Samsung original back cover the PC+ Rubber is best in terms of protection and looks... go for it...

I agree with you, although the Seidio Surface is probably more suited to what the OP is looking for:
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-CSR3SS...&qid=1405331811&sr=1-2&keywords=seidio+note+2
I have dropped my phone several times, and I partially ran over it in the yard with my riding lawnmower last week and it has survived.
I have noticed a best option for the case aswell extra power supply
i am unable to post the link for outside ones as i am newbee. but go to alibabaDOTcom and search for powercase for n7100
It must be the best option for the phones which are hungry of battery
If you are ok with a flip cover (for screen protection), I have a Kalaideng (KLD) that is very stylish with a (fake) leather finish. Its light, but a bit bulky though.
Otterbox commuter case is the best.
Maybe not along ht elines of what the OP is after but since a lot of folks are brinigng up the Otterbox Commuter...
The RedPepper waterproos case for the Note 2 looks pretty good. Bit bulky, but fully weather sealed, as in submergable.
Readily available on ebay too for like $20.
Anyone interested in an otterbox defender case, like new. I basically put it on, did not like, & took off. I just can't bring myself to throw it away, $10, if interested pm me.

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
Ultra Thin Luxury Carbon Fiber Hard Case! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultra-Thin-...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3a9503aa05
Hybrid Protective Case! http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-All-N...id=1407221344&sr=8-1&keywords=HTC+One+M8+case
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.
Hey everyone, here are a few video reviews on Obliq's cases for the S6 Edge. I've never heard of Obliq before but I have to say that I am really impressed with their products so far. They are another company like Verus and Spigen that make cases in Korea. Out of all the Korean case companies, the construction quality on the Obliq cases I received are probably the best. Check out the reviews below.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
awesome! thank you for this! very helpful !
This is nice, thanks for sharing!!
So far I've read the reviews, and I think this is not a bad one. I'm in for this. Thanks!
Thanks
It looks nice and has a decent quality, when I tried to take this case off, it really took me some time to remove it. That makes this case a tough one. But i still like it. Thanks!
It's good that the case is not slippery even the back case, makes it easy to hold.
I think it's a pretty nice looking case.
I really have my impression that this case looks kinda simple. So before I bought this case I check first the reviews and after seeing a lot of positive reviews I decided to give it a try. After having it, i can tell that most of the positive reviews are 100% correct about this product. Product quality is purely awesome which makes my phone looks cooler. Thanks!
:good:
How do you compare this one with the spigen ones?? They are very similar
How nice that my phone's camera won't stick out from the case, it's definitely protected. And in addition I just got it in a cheaper price. :victory:
Nice case. Yeah it looks like Spigen, but this case is cheaper in price!
Well for the meantime this case will do, it's better for my phone to have a case to avoid any scratches.
Great Basic Case
Not misleading in any ways.
Nice case, I'm glad I chose this case for my phone
I like the case that adds protection to my device for both the screen and the back part. The fit and finish are nice. My phone feels very solid , almost like the case is part of the phone. It's nice that this case worked for my phone really great.
Nice! Keep up the good work :victory:
It looks very nice to my phone.
I know many opt for UAG or Spigen but this Envoy series by Caseology grabbed my attention (This is someone who previously hated cases) but have ordered this and due to arrive shortly.....
Will still grab some Dbrand skins but think I may grow to enjoy this one....
What are your views on this series? and has anyone else purchased?
Waiting for your opinion
i got the blue and gold one for my gold edge, its nice. main case is uag which is on 90% of the time
Wife has one of these on her Note 5. Great case overall, main issue I have with it is bulk, it will make the phone feel much bigger/bulkier. But the feel and quality and fit are excellent.

Really like this case the in hand feel is great and looks good to. Wouldn't say it's the best case out there for extreme protection (this is general protection designer type case.
Can't fault it as it is what it is and overall I like...but if you want that extreme protection this one is not it...
The fit is great in term of alignment of cut outs but in terms of tight fit (it's not ) I think this is due to the plastic bumper rather than metal the.
Overall score 7/10
nice good case though
