[Q] Cant choose between two cases!!

So just got the nexus s 4g, wanna get a really really slim minimalist case almost a bumper type case, so I narrowed between two choices the Nexus S Ringke Case or the Incipio feather Ultralight Hard Shell Case. And i ddint seem to find any other good alternatives between those, any suggestions? I posted the link to both below.

Incipio Feather is less bulky and more slim than any silicon/TPU cases.

If your picky and takes care of your phone go with the feather by incipio. Tpu case if your more caresless and drops phones constantly

a review on the incipio site said the case needed to be trimmed to fit the 4g? I am also trying to decide on the incipio because its made for the nexus s and the NS4g is a bit thicker.

Incipio fits well on my NS4G, and since every case isn't exactly the same u might have to trim only little bit on top of power button cut out, more like scraping off some plastic, sharp knife will help. I strongly recommend that case, I love it.

ditto. my wife and i both have incipio feather case, i'm a phone in the pocket guy so need something light and thin that doesnt add bulk. only thing i wish it it covered top and bottom better, but no biggie. and my power button works fine, the cutout is not centered to it, i thought about trimming the top of the cutout like 1mm MAYBE, but not necessary. great case for the $, check deals on amazon.

i would go for the rearth ringke. Nice case and good deal on the bundle (w/2 audio plugs and screen protectors, even if they are a little small).

Man, im way to hard on my phones to use a sleek case. i tape two 4" pieces of foam top either side of mine

[Q] Cases you are using

I am curious to what cases people are using and recommend. I am currently uaing otterbox case I bought when I got my phone and the corners are starting to peel back a bit, so I feel like I need a new case. In my area they don't have much for good protection cases that aren't to expensive.

I'm using the poetic atmosphere case. It has a little lip that lifts the screen off a table when face down, decent grip, and full back coverage. All while being really slim. I had a problem with my first one coming apart, but poetic sent me a brand new case that was "improved". And I don't think they were lying, the new case holds tight to the phone and is staying together nicely. Plus, they are cheap on Amazon.

I've got the Cimo Grip back in frosted clear, and my wife has the amCase with bumper(because it is pink ) I like the Cimo and have heard good things about the Poetics, I will say though that the amCase one doesn't have the power cut out so you cannot use the IR blaster. Altough it is easy to cut out with an exacto knife or the like.

Which otterbox? I am using the commuter and haven't had a single problem.

I use Seidio surface cases on any phone I get. Mainly because they don't add much bulk, offer good protection and come with a belt clip. My phones always look brand new when I sell them a year or 2 later.

That looks like the defender.
This is the one I use http://www.otterbox.com/HTC-One-Com...ne,default,pd.html?start=3&cgid=htc-one-cases

I use the urban armor gear for my daily and the poetic flipbook every now and then.

Seidio Surface with kickstand. Love it

I'm using the body glove case that I got at the sprint store. Its nice and thin.

poetic atmosphere during the weekends and an otterbox commuter or defender during the work week if im out on jobs with my employees.

Just some cheap case for 3.99 from ebay, works well enough that screen does not touch when facing down and as well as the camera. IR blaster works and volumes buttons are easy to press.

I'm using the two tone original HTC case. Sexy as hell. Protects the phone nicely.

I have a commuter, and this happens to all of them, I had 3 different ones for my iPhone and the corners always look like that after a while, specially if you take the phone out of the case too often
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium

I use the cimo s grip and ditztronic tpu , both great cases

I'm using the Incipio Dual Pro and I love it. The only thing is I got the aluminum brushed one, and the back scratches REALLY easily. Oh well.

Thanks all for the feedback. I will look into all these cases and see if any spark my liking. the corners on my case are kinda starting to bug me, I don't know why, but it does.

I just got this case about a week ago. Pretty solid so far.

I got the uag also and it's awesome. Cheap on ebay also. Dropped it many times and it held up fine. I don't know about the IR and if it gets blocked because thats not something i use.

the BEST case?

I'm not short on money right now so I can spend a lot, but I obviously don't want to if I don't have to. What's the best case for this phone for protection from falls?

I enjoy the outterbox commuter case, it's not overly bulky like the defender but still providers good protection from falls.

I prefer the spigen slim armor case, with the metal slate color. Looks really good and provides good protection as well. I recommend the metal slate color because it isn't glossy, so no fingerprints.

Wish I seen this before I got the soul black. It is a fingerprint magnet. Doesn't bother me much tho, still looks good and protects my phone most importantly.

Yeah, my dad has the soul black one, and that is the one thing he doesn't like, but, as you said, overall the case still looks pretty good and protects the phone.

Incipio Brig.
I have it in black and translucent blue. Best case I've ever used for any phone.

I like my gel case I got from Telus. Just thin enough to give you an idea what the phone is like.

LG G2

I have the LG G2 Dual Pro in white and grey and I love it. It provides plenty of protection but doesn't feel overly bulky and it has a nice lip on it to keep the screen off the table when I put it down. It has a soft rubbery feel to it so it doesn't feel slippery. 2 pieces one hard and one soft for shock absorption. I am very picky about my cases but this one is perfect and I have tried a few.

Hi,
Just ordered a Ringke LG G2 SLIM Case, looks good ....

I'm currently using the diztronic tpu matte case. Haven't dropped it yet but I had one on my previous galaxy nexus and it was great on it. Almost no bulk added. I've dropped it countless times and my phone was always good. It's also pretty cheap. Good luck!
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk

Definitly get one. I once droped my while getting out of the car before i got my SPIGEN case. Thank god i only dent 2 corners without damaging phone or display.
G2 is definitly not very good phone for dropping. Before this i had HTC One x and i dropped it on monthly basis for year and half without any major visible damage. I dropped LG G2 once and i already have visible damage.
Now my SPIGEN case for g2 even covers those dents so i dont see it
Still that phone is sexy without the cover more. But believe my you will eventually drop it so its worht getting the case and using it constantly. So better get one.

I've got a otterbox computer. And I've had it fall twice in a span of 15 mins from a little over 4 ft on to a old brick pad and it was just fine. (I was trying to set it up to take a family picture and it fell off its perch...twice)

Does your case tend to get dirty ? I mean, since it's white... Cuz I realy like this one and thinking of buying it !
Thanks !

Any comments on TUDIA vs. Diztronic from owners of both TPU cases?
Even better if you can also compare them vs. the Incipio Brig.
Thanks

Speck CandyShell grip case not worth it

its been 24 hours since i bought the Speck CandyShell grip case for the ONE M8, and its already scratched up in the back. it does not add bulk to the phone but the back looks bad now. if you are considering this case i would recommend to look for another one. Specially for the price. here is a mini video i did about it.. just saying:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYDONUvj62Q&feature=share&list=UUZrQCWWKmxfW2bOn1SuoSJA

We hand Speck CandyShells out with all our Corp owned iPhones and the black shells look like hell after maybe a week. The white ones will hold up better but only because it's harder to see the scratches.

I just don't get why Speck does not change the materials ...

you might want to change the title from CandyShell Grip to just CandyShell. I thought you were referring to the other ones. But yeah the Speck cases hold up good, but the back looks like hell. I have one on my LG G2 and was going to try one for the M8.

Just don't like how slippery they are if your hands are wet/sweaty, hard to get a good grip on the phone. I'm interested in looking at the Speck Grip Candyshell case but don't think there is any yet for this device? I have the incipio duo case which is great but again slick on the back so not a good gripe when hands are a bit wet/sweaty. Only grip on this "flashy" looking cases.

The richest part is I saw an Incipio case yesterday with the same semi gloss plastic back and it came with a screen protector for the back of the Incipio case. When your case needs a screen protector wrap to remain in good condition I think it's time to move to another material.
But on the flip side, those particular cases to take a beating. All our users that keep their phones in them never seem to come back with broken phones.

Best case for LG G4

What cases do you guys have on your G4's? I'm yet to buy one and unsure which to buy.
I was looking at this one, anyone else got it? Any good?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Spigen®-METALLIZED-BUTTONS-Protective-Premium/dp/B00UMDOYZC
Thanks

There is no "best case". The best case is the one YOU like. You might want to look in the accessories section theres a ton of threads already http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/accessories

That case is great. I got a spigen crystal clear slim case. Before phones were even officially announced. Fits over leather. And you can still see it.

Checked other forums but didn't see the Accessories forum, my bad. Thanks both!!

Ive got the cruzerlite in black and i love it...Had it on a few other phones as well and i love the design and tight fit. Not sure if it works with the leather version tho

Caseology Envoy Series here
I don't usually keep a case on but felt the need to since I have no warranty nor can get insurance.
I have the black plastic back G4 BTW. It's sturdy, not heavy and believe it will protect from a drop. Fits my tempered glass screen protector. Leather feels premium, hopefully it lasts lol. Raised front lip is minimal and is a soft rubber, to hold in place when face down I guess?
I was gonna get the carbon fiber one but this red looked too much fun, like iron man lol
Sent from my LG-H815

That's the case I have for my G4. Doesn't add much bulk and the back has a nice texture that adds some grip. I posted some pics of it on my G4 here on imgur.

Cae that fits leather back
I just received this case and it's awesome. Fits with leather back also (T-Mobile, Brown)

I have yet to encounter this issue so I can't say there's a trick to removing. I usually just start pulling it off from one of the corners and working my way to the next corner. Are you using a leather back?
Sent from my LG G4

I have the Spigen case that the OP linked to. Great case. Most Spigen's are. The only drawback to that case is that it takes the sexy back of the G4 and just makes it black. I currently have this one on my phone.
http://www.amazon.com/Case-Verus®-V...d=1434571696&sr=8-1&keywords=lg+g4+verus+case
Looks and protects great but the hole for the buttons on the back is pretty deep so you really have to press your finger in there to get to the buttons.

Incipio DualPro here. Had one on my G2, figured just stick with the same here.

I just picked up a Case-Mate Naked Tough for my leather backed T-Mobile version. It seems durable and I like that it is transparent.

Anybody tried I-Blason with the clear back for the G4 Leather?

I bought the Quick Circle case, Ringke Slim, and a generic Carbon Fiber. I like them all but I'd have to say the Ringke Slim is my favorite. Light protection and great feel to it. Heres a picture of the new Carbon one. Not too bad.

did you try our our product ?
it is high end leather , but maybe expensive to you

I use the Spigen Exact Fit case. Slight slimmer and not bulky.
