I use Spigen cases and screen protectors for my personal and company phones. The fit and finish can't be beat, and protection is fantastic. I've dropped my Note 3 wrapped in a Neo Hybrid three times from waist to chest height and both the case and phone came out unscathed. My M8 is covered with the Spigen Clear Capsule to off show the metal construction. It fits great, protects well, and covers the phone's buttons with its own, a nice touch. Anything from Spigen is a good choice.

I swear by Spigen cases too, never had a bad one and always add to the style of the phone rather than taking away from it.

I have this particular case, and it offers moderate fall protection with minimal bulk added to the phone. Looks good don't regret purchasing it. Nice case.

I'm using a black one at the moment and it's not bad. I did notice that with some cases the camera holes didn't line up very well so I tried a few at the store to make sure I got one that fit properly.

I am currently using the Ultra Fit Capsule, it adds grip and looks nice. Haven't dropped the phone yet, but feels like it can handle a drop on the corners or back.
I got one and have nothing but trouble.
At first it was the volume buttons - no matter how I put the case on, it kept pressing the volume buttons and kept pushing them on its own. I figured out it only happens with the backplate on, so I used a utility knife to widen the volume button area and then it was managable, but the power button still occasionally gets pressed by the case.
As if that's not enough - I soon enough figured that NONE of the micro USB cables and chargers I had, including the one that arrived with the phone, fit through the hole of the charging port!
Long story short - it's pretty but unusable. I can't believe this piece of crap got through any QA.
Reading further in other threads, I probably got a fake.
That's what I get for buying cheap off ebay.

Just shift your phone around. I've noticed that my camera doesn't line up properly if I'm not careful when I put my phone in my Slim Armor. I don't think it's a defect, just the nature of having a rubber base for a case.

I bought directly from the site of the seller.
I've been a user of this case since my last phone (HTC Evo LTE). The case did me really well on that phone and it was slim on form factor. Protector was also very good on the previous phone as I've dropped it couple times with the phone in the case. No damage were shown on the case or on the phone. Because of this, I decided that I would choose the same company again if I were to change phones.
This time around, I went with the Samsung Note 2 as an upgrade to my previous phone. The case wasn't announced when I got the phone, but soon after they decided to make the case. I bought it the second day it was announced through the owners site. Case arrived quickly and the quality is still superb. If you check this listing, there's a few photos that I posted which represented the case. When you lay the case flat with the phone inserted, it's basically the same thickness as the Evo LTE with the phone in a diztronic case. Adds very very minimal bulk which doesn't affect the usability.
The back of the case is a matte finish. This matte finish actually allows the user to grip the phone better. That's not just it, the finish also reduces all fingerprints and dust particles.
Phone cutouts are all perfect and aligned to the spot. Power button and volume buttons use a soft silicon touch. It's covered, but in no way does it affect the touch. I can still easily press those buttons and the phone would respond to my action.
Overall, great case! Price is right! Go for it!
Im pretty pleased with mine too even though I normally dont use tpu protectors. It has a really nice feel and the sides seem like they provide substantial protection. No real complaints from me. I know diztronic has a great reputation and this was my first case from them so im happy.

Im on the same boat!! I detest silicone and TPU cases as they are flimsy and stretchy, causing plenty of dusts to get trapped inside and scratch the device. But when I saw this case on Diztronic site I was very amazed so I ordered one. It arrived fairly fast despite the holiday seasons for US to Australia. Been using for 2 days and have to say, the best TPU case I've ever seen. The texture is very very nice, matte and really nice to touch and hold, raised lips to protect the screen, cover all the buttons (my favourite features), compact and thin enough but still have a decent protection from it. I'm very happy with this case, by far the best case I've got for Note 2 yet.
The only thing they should improve is to stick with matte texture all the way rather than having the raised lips/edges in glossy texture. And the seams could use some clean up.
Perhaps. I kinda like the edges with the smooth finish. Feels good when I need to stretch fingers across the whole phone.
One other plus I noticed is it seems to not get stretched easy. As I said this is my first Diztronic case so I'm sure others already know, but I've taken it on and off about 5 times and it still fits tight.

I think it's pretty firm on my end. I don't seem to loose control of it when it's in my hand.
I just want to pipe in and say I really like the Diztronic tpu case on my note 2. I used their cases on my Galaxy Nexus and was very happy. They add very little weight and size to the phone, yet I feel like my phone has pretty decent protection. My Galaxy Nexus still looks brand new, even though I dropped it a few times. I've dropped my note 2 one time and it still looks perfect.

Can't wait to get mine. I been thru quite a few cases hope this is the last one, it seems to fit all the criteria.
Diztronic is my preferred case-maker. Good quality, decent prices, great fit and feel. Can't ask for more than that.
Quick question on people who has it, I checked out the bodyglove case from sprint, and while it fits nice the sides were flimsy, does the diztronic fit nice and tight on the sides?

The Tough cases has always been the best I've owned. They have changed the design up for our Note 2 (just like trident, I feel these companies are debuting the latest and greatest with our phone). So I've reviewed it below.
Made a separate review thread here, easier to post a bunch of pics.
http://www.teamvenum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=686
Thank you for the info.
My 2 cents: can't see how this is "tough". I used to work in Retail and we carried these Case mate's for other phones, and i can't see how it is better protection than an Otterbox (though sadly they make ugly cases for all the phones I own), or even Ballistic. They seem kinda of .. regular.
40 bucks seems kinda high for a case like that...I know eventually they will come to amazon for a lot cheaper..
For my S2 I had every case there was and it was always the best for being rugged, slim, and awesome grip. The name may make it sound like a contender with the otterbox defender, but its certainly more in the commuter class if thats what your looking for. The design looks different than previous versions, just hope it works out in a good way.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I will say one thing about case-mate, they seem to have good build quality from past products I've tried. They have less pronounced mold lines etc.
Otterbox's are riddled with ugly mold lines everywhere or at least their recent products.
Oops didnt see this thread when i created mine hehe ...
Pre-order is available @ shop andrioid Canada. Another promising looking case. Reminds me of a mix of the Body Glove and Diztronic Case.

Re: Now Available - Casemate Tough Case
I've dropped my S2 multiple times from high, even on the road once getting out from the car. Never had a scratch on my device. IMHO, the greatest feature of the tough case is the grippiness of the textured back. None if the hybrid case out there have this grippy texture. Even the ballistic or otterbox have a somewhat smooth back.
Been waiting for this case for a long time!

You can buy it for 20$ instead of 40$, all you need to do is to put in your order the coupon code "friends50" and It takes off 50% of your case order. Enjoy!!
I can't wait for it to arrive to my country.
Can someone tell me the size of the hole in the case around the headphone port? I have a set of Shure In-ear monitors I use and they have a fat body around the plug, about 3/8".
I have modified the Samsung case to make it work, but looks ugly. Kinda matches the side I cut to get the flip cover to work with it.
Looking for a new case and this one just came on my radar.

Spigen bounce for me. Its thin and form fitting around all the corners. Only problem is 2 color choices, black and grey (light black).
Costs more than a generic tpu case but it looks and feels better.

I could have told everyone about the spigen neo hybrid from my experience with their S4 case. It's one of the most overrated cases on the market, I'm not sure why people love it so much.
It looks and feels much cheaper in person than in pics and it makes the phone much bulkier and wider than it needs to be. And it's ridiculously overpriced for what it is.
Thumbs way down, I will never buy a spigen again.

If you want a fairly inexpensive no frills case, check out the one from Caseology. I got one for $3.50 on a deal from slickdeals and it's a great case with decent protection for the price. Even at the regular $8.50 price I would say it's well worth it.

Cool. What about screen protection??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I'm using an iSmooth screen protector. Application was the smoothest of any screen protector I've used so far - but I don't know how much of that is just practice applying them. The screen looks beautiful, with no rainbow patterns, and grease resistance is good (the Spigen ones I used before on my original note, I had a harder time of applying, and both Crystal and Oleophobic ones accumulated grease like nobody's business, particularly the supposedly oleophobic one, and the crystal had slight rainbow patterns visible in the right light).
As for cases, I'm not using one; I don't like the added bulk from them - I instead used Sugru to mold little bumpers directly on the corners of the phone. The corner around the S-Pen is kinda tricky, since there's what looks like a mic on the long side, and very little space between the pen and the speaker on the bottom. I used 3 little pieces of sugru around there. I also put a little bumper below the volume rocker, so I can quickly find the volume buttons when the phone is in my pocket. The sugru comes off cleanly (scrape it off with a fingernail). It lasts pretty well, but it will need to be redone at least once during a two year contract, more if the phone is handled roughly.
Thoughts on the S view case?
I think Im mostly concerned with the glass cracking than anything else...
Right now i am rocking the Incipio DualPro case and am waiting for a case from Cuzerlite to come in.
I got the Tudia Melody and it's perfect. 8 bucks to boot. It adds a nice grip to the phone and covers up the chrome lining on the front. You know the part that looks terrible even with a minor scuff? No screen protection except for the raised edges.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
If you want protection and don't mind added bulk the Otterbox Defender is the only way to go. I personally have large hands and prefer the thickness and bulk the Defender adds. Plus you can throw it at a wall and it will not hurt the phone. The built in screen protector is hard plastic and will protect from most surface scratches. Of course direct impacts to the screen will almost always break it on large device like this and there is no case or protector that protects from direct impacts. So for screen protection you just have to take what you can get.
For me the Ottorbox has been the only way to go for my last five phones.
@Solarenemy68 while last year me would agree with you, I found another case company called trident with a similar design. There a bit cheaper too (price not quality!!) long story short, mine came today and it is amazing. Has a built in metal kickstand.

Thinking about going naked. Haven't found a case that keeps it slim. All cases I've tried add too much bulk.
Mine fell out of my shirt pocket on Christmas day and cracked the screen. It was $125 for a new one overnighted from CA. I had ordered a case but it hadn't arrived yet. The screen didn't come with the middle housing so you can see where it hit the ground on the plastic. I'll worry about that when its time to get rid of the phone.

I'm keeping screen naked. Definitely not case. Rather have a tiny bulk than 3 foot drop shatter/crack. Slim/feather doesn't even protect much. I wound up sticking with Verizon TPU/OG Incepio. Better for me my phone travels through some rough times, personal and work lol.
No way, if i didnt had a case mine would be dead right now. It felt From my ear/shoulder position when i was talking and opening my car.

This phone is too slippery without a case I'm not taking any chances with it. I have the Spigen Slim armor case with Zagg HD screen protector and it looks beautiful and feels great. I ran my G Pro naked but at least that phone was easier to grip since it was larger. To those running no screen protection good luck. It's only a matter of time before it's scratched and scuffed and ugly. The glass screen protector on my G Pro was scratched to hell after just a few weeks in my pocket and I don't stuff anything in the same pocket as my phone except for maybe paper cash or receipts. I babied that phone. My keys never shared the same pocket. I've never seen any screen stand up to regular use after a while without any sort of protection.
I'm using an xtremeguard skin and screen protector. That helps with the slippery back. Not that helpful with actual impacts, but fine for scratches and things.
Side note: use code: 90off2 for 90% off 2 or more items right now (unknown expiration). Two sets of L2 G2 skins and screen protectors comes out to $2.20 after shipping right now.
One month in naked screen. I try and be careful. Not saying it won't happen, but so far so good. I have yet to find olive I like and won't lift with TPU or bubble at edge. :/

Using a Fosmon I got off ebay for 3.95. I hated the way this phone felt without a case.
I'm using the Nillkin Dolextech, and while it does not add much bulk, it will protect it from scratches and dents if it lands on a corner or back.
It also has a Nexus 5'ish feel, with a pattern on the back for better grip. It also comes with a screen protector, which while not being the best quality, is fine for protection against scratches.

Im an otterbox dealer, so I basically had a Defender on this thing from day 1.
Id never run a phone without one.

Dropped the phone once without the but no damage. I usually make sure I have a sturdy grip on the phone. Also I don't let my phone go without knowing for sure I'm actually putting it in my pocket.... Lol.
The case looks nice. But still rocking the naked look.

Ahh I know that feeling. You think you've put it in but nop, gravity hates us all.
Had the phone for well over a month now. No case or screen protector. Phone lives in my pocket whilst I'm at work (I work with fibreglass, resins, cardboard packing and general lifting), comes to the pub, friend's houses for drinks and shenanigans. So far so good. Still looks new.

Hey guys got my new HTC One M in Silver and keeping it naked. Just added a Zagg Glass protector i got at Best Buy. Wanted to start a thread discussing how is life using a naked phone. Any sleeves being used? Or skins. I was thinking about getting the back of phone sprayed with plastidip for some grip but i dint its a good idea. I'm hoping for a nice slim aluminum case to come out to take advantage of mods on that instead of the phone.
Those that are interested in sleeves or some leather premium feel should check out storyleather. I have a link down below.

I'm currently waiting for the dodocase sleeves as well but storyleather has customizations with color and size if you have a thin case or thick screen protector.
Hey, in go naked when not at work, keep it in a clean front trouser pocket. But it is extremely slippery. I use the freebie case that it came with, at work. I ordered a quicksand tpu case that is very grippy. I had one on my last htc (one x +), I liked it because it's slim. But prefer naked when I can.

Nice, where did you order the quicksand case, may check it out. Yea i'm obsessed with this phone naked but i wish they added some grip on the sides. Dbrand is making some skins that soon to be released so i want to check those out. I'm hoping the cold aluminum can penetrate through the skin on those mornings lol

I wouldn't use it naked, simply because of the metal back. Remember how the original iPhone looked at the back after a while?
Yeah my last htc was poly carbonate. That was very hard to scratch

Yea i hear you, alumimium is bit soft in the metal department so its a bit scratch prone. A pair of keys and htc one in the same pocket would make your phone look like it came out of a cat fight.
Heres the link if anybodys interested in the quicksand case

Solid case right here.... i went naked the first week, but the phone is just too slippery to have out in the elements....

Anyway, I got it in smoke and the case is just the right amount of clear to still show off my black M8.. plus the back is a little "frosted" so it adds the perfect amount of grip. The buttons are cutout, not bumps on the case, which also helps me not press volume up/down when pulling it out of my pocket. (noticed i did that a lot). The case has a bit of a hardened bumper to brace the phone.
Have mine a TPU case, dropped my phone at a ball game and found the volume UP button has a nice dent in it now and doesn't work anymore. Fun.
Easily best TPU case money can buy for the M8 IMHO - http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/htc/one-m8-2014/bugdroid-circuit-case-for-htc-one-m8-2014
Smoke color is perfect.
This case has served me well for the $1.65 I paid for it.
Super thin and has the rubberized coating on the back.
What's the best clear case out there? TPU or hard plastic (I prefer hard plastic, to be honest)
I like to go naked. It ain't pretty.

Hehe
I've never used a case and never had a problem. Most cases are kinda ugly to me, but the M8 has some good looking ones. I'll still be going without it though because I'm going to once again get the car dock like I did for my M7 and my Sensation, and a case won't work in there. I hate the bulky universal docks so I get the nice slim HTC one that you can just slide the phone right into and have it secure and charging.
I am using the Spigen clear case although I prefer the phone naked.
I did put a matte clear skin on the phone to prevent scratches, but you lose the nice feel of the aluminum.
The gunmetal is very susceptible to scratches. I already have a handful of minor scratches but they can only be seen at a certain angle. I think I'm still gonna use it naked and just use a case when at the gym. After a year if the back is really messed up I'll just replace the back with a new one. Etradesuoply has them for $50 and it's fairly straightforward on ifixit on how to remove the back. The only thing I'm not sure on is the NFC tag

No case for now as I have a skin on it from bestskinsever. Bit of a pain to put on but worth it.
