what is the "best" case? And awesome accesoires?

So I've ordered a Gnote yesterday and have decided not to put a screenprotector on it.
So I have decided to stick with a case instead!
I am looking for a case that is very slim and still offers protection for the screen (mostly from scratches as a slim case won't break a fall).
I have already searched the whats your case thread but didn't really find anything to suit my needs. The case that is currently in my mind is the melkco limited case or the original samsung folio case.
The only thing that keeps me from buying the Melkco one is that it flips open on the downside. Which would drasticly increase the phone lenght.
And I am also looking for some awesome accesoires. Just things to impress.
Fun cases or a differen case decal. Which one is your favorite?
Thanks in advance!

There are many cases for different needs.
For me the best one is Zenus Case Prestige Carbon. http://www.zenuscase.net/product-29984.html

I experimented with lot's of different cases when I've got SGS2 and I tried almost 10 of them. I've got several different types of cases along with carbon fiber ones, metal ones, combines or hard plastic cases with stands etc. I end up with one I didn't expect at all!
SGS2 same my current Galaxy Note is "thin", almost "slippery" and Note also "rotates" on it's back if you try to use it on smooth surface like table. I wanted something that will improve handling, protect the back and also protect the front WITHOUT using the screen protector (because they always ruing the image).
I end up surprisingly with gell S-Cove (that one with strange curvature back with two types of see-through plastic). Obviously it protect the back but it also helps fix the Note on the table, but it also has tough sides, so if you operate it in your hand, it's gets more sure grip. And because if it's nature it has 1mm edge over the display which doesn't hinder at all but if you put your phone display down on the table, it sits on the gell case edge and not on the display itself.
I used to put my phone display down, because I'm using LightFlow and it uses camera flash as a notification diod
And S-Case also was a winner for me, because it's yet slimmest from them all and I still can put the Note IN THE CASE to the belt pouch, which with most of the other cases is impossible because the're too big.
I hope I save you some cash, because with that knowledge from SGS2 I ordered the SCase for Note and it's simply perfect (i'm using the red one).
Cheers

Loved the SGP Ultra Thin for my iPhone.. Bet they are as good for the Note.
Ordered mine, but didn't get it yet.

I'd love to get a Zenus case but the one thing that scares me is the magnets they use for their cases.
The Zenus vintage one seems to deliver good protector to both the screen and the phone itself but at the cost of being rather thick I think..
The case that suits my needs the best is probably the samsung original flip case as it reduces its thickness by replacing the battery cover.. The problem is that the side of the leather won't stay in one piece..
There are many debates on screenprotectors in these forums but is it really necessary? I mean.. I just hate screenprotectors but don't want my screen to get scratched.. (my captivate remainced unscratched even though I didn't even had a case on it, my EVO 3D got some scratches from metal studs)

Share some specific details about your One M8 case experiences. Please!

I'll be getting a new M8 soon, so naturally, I'm looking for a case.
I've read a ton of scattered information (even the 2014 case list thread isn't really organized), but the selection is completely overwhelming, and I couldn't find many recommendations that didn't lack some important details.
So here are a few questions to those of you using a case with the One M8:
1. Which case are you using? how much did you pay for it?
2. How long have you been using it?
3. How many times have you dropped the phone while using the case? was the phone damaged, cosmetically or functionally (details please)?
4. Has the case scratched or scuffed the body of the phone even without dropping it? how often do you take the phone out of the case?
5. How is the grip? is the case slippery? is it easy to hold?
6. How does the case look now? did it lose its shape or color?
7. Overall, are you happy with the case? do you have anything else to say about it?
8. Have you tried other cases which you do not recommend? if so, which and why?
If you are NOT using a case, answers to the relevant questions would also be appreciated.
TL;DR Please take the time to answer the questions above, as I'm sure it will be helpful to others too.

1. Unicorn Beetle Pro. $19 from Amazon.
2. 2 weeks.
3. Only dropped once, no damage at all.
4. No. Maybe once or twice.
5. Grip is ok, feel is good. Case is slippery but not as much as the naked phone.
6. Looks just like the day I bought it but I've only had it for a couple weeks.
7. I'm happy with the case, wish the outer layer would be made out of rubber. instead of soft plastic.
8. Haven't tried any other cases but kinda want a UAG.

Spigen Slim Armor Case with a iloome 9H tempered glass screen protector. I think this is about the best setup out there.
I'm a police officer and have sent this phone flying into the ground at least a half dozen times REALLY hard. Oh, and it's been stepped on at least twice. I'm happy to report, not a scratch. Nothing.
Worth your consideration.

1. Supcase Unicorn Beetle Premium Hybrid, $14.99 from Amazon.
2. 2 weeks
3. Never been dropped
4. Never take the phone out the case unless I have to mess with the Micro SD
5. I give the grip factor about a 7/10. I think it provides good grip but I can see how some say it can be slippery. I personally never had a problem.
6. Case looks great IMO. very tight fitting case and will not loose its shape. Supcase makes great cases in this model. Looks brand new still.
7. Very happy with the case. Some descriptions say form fitting and when you get them the TPU will stretch over time and not right fitting on the phone at all. I have had a supcase for the Note 3, M8, S5, G3 and everyone of them has been top quality. Will always order them for my phone if its available for it.
8. I always use Supcase but Spigen also makes some great cases which the m8 case is very very nice and tight fitting also.

There's a full and detailed thread here about cases. Pls check it out. No need for this thread.

Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
1. Using the supcase hybrid. Got it from Amazon for 14.99
2. I've had this case for about 3 weeks.
3. I my phones been dropped about 4+ times with THIS case.
4. The case looks very good still, it's very tight around the phone, there are no scratches or dents and the clear backing has a bit of scuff marks but nothing
ever noticeable/bothersome. I've taken the phone out more than a few times, it can be challenging because the case is sturdy, but easy to put in.
5. This case is not slippery. It has good grip, I can't really explain how it feels but it's a hard sturdy lightweight case.
6. It has maintained shape and color.
7. I'm definitely happy with this case, I see why this brand get a lot of positive reviews. It definitely will make me want to try more of their products
8. I've had the HTC dot view case which I bought from Amazon and recently returned because I wasn't aware that the flip case wouldn't close properly with my Invisible shield tempered glass screen protector... I also didnt like the top and bottom portion of my phone being exposed. I now have everyday scuff marks on the top which I was trying to avoid, and I only used the case for a few days.
I also recommend the seidio dilex/ best buy platinum series case with kickstand and holster, it's a good case that's soft touch and has as good grip(supcase still had more grip though). But it suffers more from dents and scratches from falling.

Been using this insignia case on my m8 and its perfect
http://m.bestbuy.com/m/e/product/de...acet=HTC One (M8)&cp=1&lp=1&pid=1219114899547
Price is $15. Its very slim which I love. I've dropped it several times on the screen and the stiffness of the case keeps the phone secure. It has a small lip which extends over my .3mm tempered glass.
The case itself feels kind of cheap and shows a few scuffs but it gives great protection and is very slim which is the perfect combo when buying a case IMO.
It only come in 1 color which is gold and it matches my gold m8 perfectly.

1. Incipio Dualpro Shine, $15 @ Amazon
2. About 2 weeks
3. Dropped once on concrete (ouch), it dropped from about waist height. No damage to the phone, but there are some scratches on the back of the case and some gashes on the left side, im assuming the left side is where it landed and it slid a little on its back on the concrete.
4. The case has not scratched the body of the phone. I removed my phone from the case maybe twice in the duration that I was using it
5. Grip is pretty slippery, because of the faux brushed aluminum plastic back, very pocket-able though
6. Other than the damage the case took from the drop, it's holding up well; no deformities on the tpu inner layer so far
7. Overall pretty happy with the case, it's sleek yet very protective, power button/ir blaster is open, cutouts are plenty beg enough for many cables, and it has a handy cutout for the mSD tray
8. I've tried a Spigen Ultra Hybrid, Diztronic tpu, and a fake Chinese Spigen Slim Armor on my phone as well, and they were all pretty good cases.
The Chinese Slim Armor clone was pretty good, similar to the quality of the real Ultra Hybrid I tried. Only gripe was the usb and headphone jack cutouts were too small to be of any use so I had to cut them up with a hobby knife.
The Ultra Hybrid was great as well, only reason I moved on from it was because I wanted a little more protection.
The Diztronic I moved on from for the same reason as the Ultra Hybrid, and because it isn't really screen protector friendly.

thin case

need recommendations on a super thin case. I just want scratch protection on back and sides. Not necessarily drop protection. i actually hate cases, but try to find the thinnest one possible.
Totallee makes one called the scarf for iphone thats paper thin...was hoping to find something like that.
any recommendations would be appreciated.
thanks

I have 2 ringke ones that are both clear. I have the hard plastic one and the gel like one. Both are pretty slim and fit well and I'd recommend them, just depends whether you want a hard one, or a soft one. The hard one does fit better though.

Found the best SLIM Case for NOTE

If any of you had the Note 2, you'll remember the hunt for a the ultimate slim case due to the size of the phone which now seems like nothing. But at the time it was pretty hefty and people were searching for the best case that would offer minimal protection, good scratch protection, and still keep the profile of the phone. The best option was from a company called 1ZLFF or something along those lines. It was a super thin plastic case that had tight tolerances all the way around, didn't lose "tightness" around the phone like a tpu case and had a grippy coating to keep the phone from being so slippery.
Anyways, while testing out cases for the Note 8 I found a similar one but made by a no name company. Short video on the case
https://youtu.be/ZAVkxnTNW2Q In case it doesn't play in the thread.
The best part about this case is that it isn't like the super .3mm thin Elago case which is basically 99 cents with free shipping on ali express or tao bao. Those cases which also are sold under the name PEEL and SLICE cases lose tightness around the volume and power buttons on the phone and stretch out after a few months. Because this case is hard plastic it won't lose that. So far, really enjoying the case and love how it isn't branded so it is very sleek and minimal.

Let's talk about cases!

I'm looking for 2 types of cases (not necessary to have both features at same time):
1. Something with an in-built magnetic grip, in order to use it with magnetic car holders
2. A really rugged case.
I found these cases:
A. https://www.armor-x.com/bx3-nk19-9p...oof-rugged-case-for-outdoors-w-carabiner.html
B. https://lastu.co/collections/nokia/products/lastu-with-ring-stand
Is there anyone who got one of these cases and could give a very short real-life review?
Any other brands or models?
Thanks in advance.

I'm using this one and it is very thin light and useful

i made this one on www.case-custom.com
But i did not notice the alignment was a bit off. (the red hexagon was supposed to be in the center).
Ah well , i will see what i get quality wise before i order an improved one.
Remains to be seen if they get the alignment correct anway.

Interesting! Can you report back on the quality?

I have a case thats almost identical to your Armor one. I like it, its rugged but its just a little too slick for me. I wish it had some side ridges or grips. I always feel like its going to slide out of my hand, ofc it never does.
My Case is the Cruzerlite Carbon Fiber Shock.

I use SLEO Case - hard rubberized, very thin, light, grippy, excellent fit.

Here's a quick video of some cases I picked up.

Looking for Wallet Case
I have a tpu bumper case with a transparent hard acrylic back. It's fine. I am looking for a wallet case so I can carry my metro cards and work ID as well as use it to watch videos. Many cases fulfilling these requirements are on Amazon and Alibaba but they ALL USE MAGNETS! I will probably punch six holes in my old leather wallet case and call it a day.

Bought a beetop clear case , very happy with it. Thin, truly transparent and cutouts are nicely done.
Also bought a imak cleared case witch is exactly the opposite, thik, yellowish and cutouts are a bit messy.
The beetop was cheeper as well

I'm waiting for a proper heavy duty case that covers front and back, like Pelican/Otterbox.

I don't have this case, but it looks a bit more interesting than everything else I've been able to find. Thought I'd post this here for others looking for something different and to see if anyone plans to get it and leave a review here for the rest of us.

My guess is that wireless charging is impeded by this case.

For those not sporting cases, have you picked up scratches? I am currently using a transparent case, but it's not the same as case-free.
Also, anyone noticed any impact of cases and photos? I.e. cases effecting the light/shine in images?

I sue this one:
