And
A duelpro case and a aluminum frame case. Cut, grinded and sanded to not only make them fit together, but to fit my phone. Being 1, a vzw phone so it's thicker and 2, has a tempered screen protector. Which, roughly looked like this
After hours of sanding and grinding and painting, then not liking the paint job and starting over lol I finally finished.
It's a two tone black and aluminum. Actually grinded of the black coating that came on the aluminum case to expose the raw aluminum. Then polished it and clear coated it.

That's awesome! I've been thinking about modifying some case to have my own for my vs980. Super inspirational and a great job.

That's cool. Is it real base/clear or spray paint?
I used to paint cars/motorcycles and was thinking about painting battery covers. Could be cool. Too bad not many make removable covers anymore.
Oh, and I'm not a spy lol My G2 will be here Wednesday.

Spray paint. I painted the case with the Rust Oleum plastic paint. and then an acrylic clear coat. I don't have the necessary tools or knowledge to do an actual bass and clear coat lol. I wouldn't even know how to mix it. I stripped all the clear coat of the aluminum parts though and use mothers aluminum polish on it. Looks like chrome now, pretty cool

That's holding a 4mm thick screen protector next to the znitro on my phone. Best guess is .4mm or slightly thinner.

I looked around and I couldn't find any reviews. This is my third day with the case and so for I really like it. I was on the fence on weather to get the Otter box or the Ballistic. But, after reading reviews about the rubber getting loose around the corners on the Otter box defender and couldn't find any good pictures of the commuter I got the Ballistic.
I have had hardcases on phones in the past and found scuffs on my phones when I remove them from the cases. I like the the Ballistic has the soft rubber against the phone and the hard cover on the outside. It also has corner bumpers for extra protection. The case adds some bulk but, it can still go in the pocket of my 14 year old. (he is 5'8") I can post pictures when I get home if you guys want it.
That would great if you could post a few pics!
Here the pictures. I took shots to compare the size of the case to the phone to give better ideal of the size because you have something to compare it to. I always wish people would post pictures this way.
Here is the first shot with the Note 2 next to the case

This shot gives you an ideal of the lip it has to protect the screen when you have the phone face down.
Let me know if you have any questions
thanks for the pics, I have been endlessly googling for this type of pic until now... how about the weight? is it heavy?
thanks
I wanted a 2nd case for when don't have the need for an Otterbox. It was between the Ballistic and the Trident Aegis. I chose the Trident Aegis, not sure why cause the ballistic looks so sweet.

Lol you're probably right!
I am trying out to Ottebox commuter and not impressed with dificulty in pressing the buttons nor the lose corners at the top of the rubber case.
How are the buttons for you? I really have to press hard to get the volume rocker to work.
How much of a lint magnet is this case?

It just as easy to press as without the case. I think it's easier because no the buttons stick out more and are not as flush as without case.
I read the same things about the otterbox that is why I gave the ballistic case a try.

Not bad. But, the case is very new and it seems to get less the more I use it.
Looks like it will provide great protection, but I'm not a huge fan of bulky cases.
when you put the phone on your front pocket, does the bottom and top lip come off easily?

Pictures of the case on the phone would be nice. Use a mirror? I might call around my T-Mobile stores to see if they have this case. One store some cases but didn't really like them. I didn't even try the body glove case because I wanted some color and it looked bulky. Might try it though.

Now I have question about that, first of all does anyone of you experienced the same stuff with your spigen case with coloured Bumper?
And as second does anyone have this case by Spigen Spigen Ultra Fit Capsule and has some bad or good experiences with it ?
LG ZUBEPLANET, the whole world is a ZUBE!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
No one ?
i had a spigen ultrafit for a few weeks. the case is quite nice. offers good protection. the clear back was outstanding. but i changed it because if the covering of ir blaster and i feared the clear back would take up a lot scratches and discolor over time so i changed it. it is a good case. but you have to be careful when placing it and also carry a microfiber cloth so you can clean the back frequently. IMO it is one of the most beautiful case.
Ok thx dude. which case do you use atm. i am searchign a minimum transparent back case. dont need to be hard case but transparent would be really nice.
other cases are nice too if they have good grip , nice look and dotn make the phone to a box

Keys are transparent but covered by the case, so you can barely see them due to the design on the case over the button regions. The keys function excellently tho, unlike most other cases where the keys are covered and the fit and cut-outs are excellent with no discoloration of the case.
It's a sticky, hardgel-like case. Very protective of the phone and guarded all around with perfect grip.
It does add thickness around sides and back tho - no way a thin case. At least +6mm to all sides. But it's smaller in volume than other non-transparent cases, by far. You can feel the added size of the case on the phone, especially on the depth of the phone (6mm or so).
It's more of a gel bumper all around the phone.

Has anyone tried ordering one of these from Aliexpress? I ordered one already and totally excited about it.
Some youtube videos of the case for other phones are already there. I am sure this sleek Beast and the Metal Thor cover would make a Machine in hand.
I ordered the Black one.
All I can say is These got looks and also can surely protect the phone with such bulk build.
PS: Sorry i cant attach pics here. I am new member in the forum and XDA will allow me to post pics after 10 posts. You can always google the case and tell me what you feel about it.
You mean this case?
I don't mean to be rude, but that's quite a case that could cause the Sixth Mass Extinction on Earth.
EDIT:
I mean, its so ugly - living beings might die just by looking at it.

I have it. It's cool as hell but extremely inconvenient. It doesn't exactly fit well, slides with excess space and it likes to pull your screen protector up by the way it holds in place. It's cool as Hell though, forgot where I put it though.

About that Tudia, have it as well, but i am not satisfied with that so much... It's because through the hole for fingerprint sensor many times went through the humidity between front plastic cover and the glass of the phone, when i wear phone in my pocket in work, turned by side to my leg. As well front plastic cover after some time started cowering itself so when u touch on display through this u can feel it it doesn't fit.

Yeah, wasn't to happy with the hole for FP scanner. I don't use the scanner and have it disabled, so I went down and bought a package of plastic laminating sheets and cut two oval pieces just bigger than the hole. Put one on front and one on back to cover hole. I work in a cabinet shop and sawdust was constantly getting in, so this solved my issue. I'm not sure, but the FP scanner might still work with it covered like that, not tried it yet to see. Other than that, that Tudia case is great, looks good and offers excellent drop protection. I know first hand, dropped phone from 3 foot up on concrete floor.

I've been using this case since day one. I tried a few others, but keep coming back to it. It's a great case. I'm not sure about tacky, but it is not slick. I've never even come close to dropping my phone.
Just one word of warning. My wife got the white Evo Check, and the white yellowed pretty quickly. We just threw it away and got a cheap case on Amazon for her. My black case is still in perfect shape.

I primarily use a leather type folding case on the N8, but have tried a few regular cases which I find in all honesty uncomfortable to hold for long.
I find the edge tpu plastic or whatever it is hard to the touch. Was hoping to find a case that has soft compressible sides. The skins are soft and pliable but the edges are too thin for protection.

Note8 Tech21 evo check users, can help see if your case inside edge facing screen near top of power button is there a small extra protruding bit? Wondering if mine is defective. Thanks. Mine is black case, also tell me if yours is black or white.
