Meh
They are just vinyl stickers.
They look awesome until they start to peel on the corners.
0 - minimal protection for the phone.
Overall, don't expect it to last long if you keep it in your pockets, unless you are really good at taking care of things.
Just my experience though.
I figure itwould still protect it when I sit it down tho

I just got a free one from sprint today. Seems like pretty good quality. I keep my Nexus in a case while at work, but on weekends I normally have it out. I just got it to save the back piece from major scratching.

sprint25 is a promotional code on sprint.com...check the shop all accessories and you'll see the Skinit promotion.
I sanded down my nexus, and spray painted it white. Its starting to peel off and look ugly. I went to sprint and told them what happened. And know they say I voided my warranty. Can they do this?

you definitely voided your warranty. so yes, they can do that.
definitely Voided
Any physical modification of a device other than user replaceable parts voids warranty...

Unless you know your way around small cellphone parts and a heat gun I wouldn't suggest doing it. Just send it out somewhere to have done and save your self a paper weight.

For those actually thinking of doing this, I am going to try and paint the battery door white with Plasti-Dip since it just peels off if I dont like it. If you don't know what Plasti-Dip is look it up on youtube.
WTF what went wrong with you ??

This case must be hard to find. I had a 3 week old one i sold on ebay last week and it went for $41....the case was only $38 in stores. Its a really nice case. Feels really good in the hand.

Not there yet. I've been looking and emailed case mate they said just keep looking. looking thanks
my 2 cents
Hi all,
Just wanted to chime in on this case. The protection is great and the side grips make the feel more solid as opposed to slippery. The extended rubber on the face helps when it is facedown or when it potentially drops so it's not flush against the floor/table. My only beef is that the kickstand rubber part has come loose so i'm not sure how durable that part is, it's not that much of a hassle as I can still manage to prop it up but I'm afraid it will eventually break off.
Most complaints are about the difficulty of getting the kickstand out
P.S. all ports are accessible i.e. stylus, charger, headphones, camera, speaker
Raised power & volume up/down buttons
Whats the matter with case makers these days? Release the case with just 2 colors, one is black the other is white with pink. Its exactly like body glove diamond series... ffs have they ever thought men uses with white case too? Why pink?? Could just use red and that would plays with well with both genders...
Nice looking case but have always had the rubber part warp on every case I had. Evo 4g, evo 3d, and the skyrocket. I ended up using the speck case for my note 2. Even if anything happens to it I can exchange it for free at the att store.

I've been looking for a hard case that has spots to hold cards and maybe money. I've seen the book style cases but I'm not interested in the added bulk.
Anyone know of a case with wallet stuff on the back?

I have been looking for one of these myself but have not found one yet. Everything is book style at the moment.

You're probably better off searching for iphone accessories that so this. I've seen universal card holders that stick to the back of any case but usually sold to pair with iphone cases. If I come across one I'll post it here.
I remember looking for a card case like this when I had the Note I and never could find anything. It seems the Note's extra surface area on the back would be perfect for something like this. Something like the Case-Mate Pop! ID would be ideal for me - space for a credit card and a driver's license.
Not sure if this helps but spigen makes something like that:

Yeah, those look good if you want the book or diary style case. What I'm looking for is a "case" style case with storage for a few cards and maybe some cash on the back without the flap. I feel the flap gets in the way and adds bulk that I don't want.
Case, no flap, card storage on the back.
These stick on the back of your case.

I have been using the Basic Model for 3 months. Very similair to something I made in high school almost 20 yrs ago and have been using ever since I bought this for the back of my Note 2. I have it stuck with the opening towards the speaker. Seems to be holding up ok but the material I use usually lasts me about 2-3 years and this may not last as long as it is made out of what feels like spandex. I will probably just velcro my version onto the back of my phone after this wears out. High school version pictured.
Hey everyone. Just wanted some opinions on whether your going to put a case on this device or not? I am usually a case guy, but I think I'm going to find it hard to cover up such a gorgeous phone!! Also, do u use screen protectors on this device? Haven't used a protector for the last few phones I've had, GS4, LGG2.

I don't like to use any cause I love to feel the nice aluminium body and awesome clarity of screen

Guess our hands just aren't as greasy because mine is not slippery at all on the gunmetal finish =)

I am having the same problem, too slippery for me to feel comfortable without a case. I also have big hands, so it is a little small for me to hold comfortably without a case. I also find I really miss the kickstand that my previous two phones had, so I am thinking about getting one of the cases that include a kickstand.
I always advocate playing safe cell phone, so I wrap it up. However, with my M7, I will take it out of the case while at work because our floors are carpeted.
One thing though: I'm waiting for the silver M8 to come out on Sprint before upgrading because self-proclaimed "careful" people in the unlocked One forum are reporting scratches on the gold and gray versions. The stock silver One has no coating to scratch.

I don't care about the scratch potential. I'll have a case on it anyway. I would just rather have the silver variant than the gold or gray.

Oh, I'm sure you'll be fine then. I guess I'm just scared about going bareback -- even if it's just occasionally -- with anything other than silver. Apparently, just resting the non-silver models on a desk is leaving marks.

I picked up the dot view case. Loving it so far. Gives decent protection too.

For the first time since my HTC Hero (which I ended up getting Ghost Armor on), I'm going without a case.
Didn't HTC say they would replace a broken screen for free within the first 6 months too?
I never had a case on my M7, but I went through 4 of them for different malfuctions, and each one wound up having a dented corner or scratched up grill. So considering this one is even heavier, I know the damage will be worse.
