[Q] Decent Nexus S Case?

I've been searching all around for a decent case for my new phone. I want something that will give it minor drop protection, isn't bulky and doesn't look ugly. Locally I don't have much of a selection but the two I've been looking at are the adreama case and the incipio feather case. Does anyone have any suggestions or have tried either of those cases?

I have the incipio feather. I bought it only so I could lay my phone down without fear of scratching my camera or backplate. It offers little to no drop protection. But can barely tell its there if you like a minimalist approach.

I have a rocketfish case I got at best buy. I was looking for exactly the same thing you are. It's a rubbery case but the outside is hard coated, as are the edges so it doesn't stretch or stick. It's all black and molds to the phone. I really love mine.

Any cheap TPU case will do. Can't see myself plopping over 10$ for a case, and definitely don't like the so said protection of "hard" cases they sell just about everywhere. Next thing you know the case blows into 1 billion tiny pieces or just breaks away from your phone at the most minor drop.

This from SGP is very nice, and comes with a first rate screen protector.

I just bought this one:

Very happy with it. Makes the phone feel very solid. It does add some bulkiness, but it's worth it because the case feels great to hold.

This is the one I use, I have had it on it since day one. Reminds me of an otterbox, but half the price and not nearly as bulky.

Bump for Incipio, have one in blue, one in teal and its subdued. Does offer protection, least bulk I could find and love it.

Thanks for everyones responses, I think I'm going to settle on the Feather case. One more question, is it necessary to have a screen protector? I'm generally pretty safe with screens, I managed to have all of my iPod screens live without a scratch so far but I'm not sure how much this screen will be able to manage.

I have the Incipio thin feather case. Its as low as $16.95 on Ebay and is super thin, sexy, and sleek. Just be prepared to beat women off of you. They come runnin'. lol

Google Nexus S Pop! Cases
This case is a great addition to my Sprint Nexus - S. It was very easy to put the phone in the case basically just running one's thumbnail around the edge will make sure the phone is in tight and well sealed.
The case 'elevates' the phone's glass off of a surface when placing the phone face down. Plus, the rubber edge makes a nice satisfying and 'rubbery' thunk, and you know it just won't slide around!

I had a TPU case and then got the Rearth Ringke case, and the Ringke case is much better. Retains thinness of the phone, looks sleek and feels great in the hands. Worth looking into.

Incipio Feather is awesome. I'm less worried about protection and more worried about how slippery this phone is. The case gives it grip and looks alright too.

i have this one on for the past 8 months.. its a beautiful case that hardly adds any bulk to the phone... and its 4 bucks

+1 for incipio feather. Just picked myself up one.. won't offer much drop protection but it's a sleek slim case.

I have never been one for cases, but I purchased the Incipio Feather and I haven't had the need to take it off. Love the damn thing.
Hope that helps.

another +1 for incipio feather. just got mine yesterday, great case. and i think it would actually offer some drop protection, at least if it landed on a corner or back.
if you need to access the back of the phone frequently though, to change battery or sim, forget this case. it fits really really well, and would be a pain to take off all the time imho.

Ringke is great until the soft touch rubs off and it starts sticking in your pocket and collecting lint.

A screen protector is a must have, there are no arguments against it.
You can get already 3 protectors in high quality for 1.77$!
And im not a fan of any case, smartphones are thick enough and you take it off after a while anyways.

Best Protective Case for the Note 2?

After searching the threads and being horrified by pictures of smashed screens, I don't think I will take my Note 2 out until I get a protective case! It recently arrived and being so used to my HTC phone which I have dropped many times and has survived falling from my lap as I get out of the car, flying out of my bag and so on, I don't think I can take this risk at all with the Note 2. A little scared it is so fragile but I am wondering if those who have had the phone for much longer have found the best way to protect the phone. I guess the days of walking down the street checking my messages are over for now (plus being afraid someone will take it from me!).
I don't mind flipcases (especially as it covers the front) but most of the cases I have seen so far only cover the back but this doesn't protect the screen, so looking for something that will protect it all round.

I had been sporting a naked note 2 until a couple days ago, but after it slipped out of my pocket while I opened the door of a moving car going 15mph (only resulting some chips on a few of the corners thank god haha) I had to get a case. I read lots of reviews and decided to get the black UAG case and I love it. I like the way the phone feels in my hand with it and it feels very protected. There are cases that are more protective but they add more bulk, this doesn't mean that the UAG won't protective because to me this thing still feels like fort Knox in my hand with it hah

Wow a lot of reviews, thank you for that.
I guess I wanted extra protection for the front (when not in use) so the UAG is on hold. Went for the cheap flipcase in stead.

I have been using the Otterbox Defender for a couple of months and love it. Since I have dropped and had to replace two phones, I need the heavy duty protection. It's got a built in screen protector that covers the screen like a window. I like the fact that it makes the phone bulky, easier to hold.

Otterbox
I didn't want to give in to the Otterbox. But after I dropped my Note and scratching the S Pen, I did. I absolutely love it and it's by far the best case I've ever had. I even got one for my daughter's RAZR. She loves it also.

I've had my phone for a few days now and have really got used to the feel of it (light and smooth) but I know I shouldn't risk it. I don't really like the look of the bulky cases, and since I am a girl I want something more girly I guess, but I've gone ahead and ordered a cheap flipcase that was reviewed on this forum. Will see how that one goes for now and will upgrade as I find something for me.

I swear by the uag cases. I've dropped my phone down concrete stairs while it's (thankfully) been in a uag and there was not a single scratch to be seen as a result of the experience. The Otterbox is just too cumbersome especially if you are like me and often switch out the batteries.

I have the Otterbox, which I absolutely love, but it feels like the size of the phone doubles when I have it on my phone. I found another case manufactured by Seidio. It's the Seidio KONVERT combo and it has a hard outer case that goes on the phone and another rubber case that covers the hard case and is braced by a skeleton type covering. It sounds like it would be bigger than the OtterBox, but it actually isn't. THe phone looks and feels slimmer and it looks more elegant, where the OtterBox gives the phone a more ruggedized look. As far as protection, I am deployed and have dropped my phone a couple times and I haven't had any issues with it at all. Plus, you can take the rubber outer shell off and still have an good-looking inner case as well. Highly recommend it, as well as the OtterBox.

[Q] Best Heavy Duty Case for N6

Ok so i got my N6 back in November, and one thing that is clear to me is the fact that is phone is not a caseless phone or even a TPU phone...It is extreme fragile so much so that that I broke mine 4 days after having it naked, and someone broke their with the case that I had ordered off amazon the night I brought my phone...
Even my lifestyle a TPU case is probably not going to cut it for me so I'm looking for a really good Heavy Duty Case (tragic waste of a beautiful phone)
I found these on amazon Supcase and Poetic
The Supcase have pretty good review...none for the poetic...anyone have either one that can give me a bit of insight?
Please and thank you.

I actually have the Ringke Max on now, and its only a single layer protection, also the reason I want a new case is because someone reported breaking their screen with the Ringke on...It's probably would not have broke with if he had a TGSP on (not sure if he did actually, I'm just assume here)
Just wanted a full body case, cause I really don't think Motorola would replace my phone for free again if I broke it again lol :laugh:
**Edit**
Just saw that the Max is 2 layer...the hard layer is just built onto the soft...interesting design.

I've dropped my Nexus 6 at the gym with a Cruzerlite TPU case and it fell onto the steel leg on the bench press and it was fine. I thought it would have broken by how it fell but time and time again I'm surprised by TPU cases.

yea, and ordinarily I would be happy with just a tpu case, cause I don't like bulk in fact I dont even like cases on an expensive phone that looks great...but considering how I crack my screen with this phone the first time....I'm extremely cautious with this phone right now :crying:
I also have the Cruzerlite (best looking case so far) but it just dont feel safe enough for me. I just use a TPU and TG for the screen maybe that will be enough...

I've dropped many phones with a Cruzerlite and never broken a screen. I broke a tempered glass screen protector on my G3 but the phone was fine. Maybe I'm just lucky I can't stand bulky cases. I know how you feel because if I broke my screen I would be upset so I bought moto care just in case.

I wouldn't use the Neo Hybrid unless they fixed the extremely tight fit issue. My bumper broke in less than a week on my Spigen because of this and don't forget you can use that case with a skin. I posted pictures way back when this happened in the Spigen OP. The Slim armor is alright I still have mine because it wasn't worth paying for the shipping to return it.

I was in the USMC (got our back in 2012) so I know how it is. The field is never kind to phones, after I was in afghan my iPhone 3gs at the time managed to get sand under the screen

I have almost every case mention in this thread. I've posted pictures already but I will keep this short in sweet. Hands down best protection case is the Supcase, but it's extremely bulky. A much better option is the iblason slim. Provide excellent protection, probably 80% of the supcase, but nowhere near as bulky. I just left that case and now I'm using the S-Case because I wanted something smaller, I have moto care so if I break my phone I will get a new one. My new case will be here next week.... review to follow

I'm thoroughly enjoying my heavy duty supcase with the holster. For the past few years I've used wallet cases on my Galaxy notes. I m happy I went this route.

Are there any cases that will protect the screen from drops?

I just picked up a regular S7 and I'm finding the screen a little small (coming from a G3).
I'd like to try the Edge but I'm very worried about breaking the screen. I drop my phone a lot (I run heavy equipment in rough environments). I have an OB Defender on my S7 now.
Are there any case options for the S7E that will really hold up to frequent abuse?
I only have a day to exchange phones so I'd really appreciate any insight.
Thanks,
TF

If you dont mind the bulky-eness the UAG is the way to go! Great protection and add a glass protection, since you are on rough environment.
Beware that no case will protect you if you drop it from a decent height , face down on a rock for example.

Sure. There are some ridiculous contraptions out there that wrap the phone all way round with glass, metal, plastic and whatever else they could find. Probably keeps it 'safe' if you don't mind it looking like the original Motorola brick phone .

From what I've read there's not a single glass screen protector made for the S7E that actually works properly. Does your experience suggest otherwise?

In my experience, nothing is 100% drop proof..
I had my iPhone 6s which i use as a second work phone, drop from 20 cm @ the swimming pool shattered at 2 corners wearing a glass shield. Had it fallen many many times from ear height, and nothing happened..
**** happens.
Yeah on the Edge phones, solutions on glass protections are limited. I ve tried a no-name glass, which left the sides uncovered, and where the glass curves left a small but noticable gap. Threw it @ 1 day .
I ll be ordering a Skinomi shield skin which in my past experience with the Note Edge worked really really well and curved nice without being noticed. Now i ran an IQ shield which i ll be replacing cause the case lifts the edges after 1 week of use.

Otterbox and I hate otterbox. I have dropped this phone s7 edge 4 times and every time it's been perfect.

Otterbox Defender. As frustrating as the screen protector is, you just have to try to get used to it
VZ S7 EDGE ONYX

I'd recommend the Otterbox Commuter Series. I've had it on my S7 edge from day one and its taken a fair few drops from 5ft onto hardwood/concrete/tiles. Phone is perfect, case is a lil roughed up but you gotta look closely to notice it.
The screen is raised above the floor by rubber 'lips'. Headphone and Charging ports are covered by flaps.
The Commuter does not have the bulk of the Otterbox Defender. Commuter offers great protection IMO.

I ended up getting both the Defender and the Commuter.
I think the Defender will stay on most of the time, unless crap gets in between the screen protector and the phone like the defenders did on my other phones... it does seem to have a tight fit, though.... we'll see.
I liked the Commuter but I couldn't find a screen protector that worked well with it.

If that's the requirement and you don't depend on any of the Samsung specific features, get a Pixel XL with the fattest toughest case you can find. It is the pinnacle of large screen meets best performance meets long battery life.

Buy this case. I took the built in screen protector out and use a Zagg invisible screen HD because it's softer and would absorb more if hit. This case has the most raised edges out of all the cases I've seen. It's duel layered and I've dropped my phone about 20 times and some on concrete and no damage.

Best Thin Cases

Has anyone tried some new thin cases? The Note 8 is a slim sexy phone. It sucks to put it in a thick bulky case. Show us what y'all have in thin cases.

I bought these 3
The first one was from Best Buy and I like it alot and its the one I use the most. Nothing fancy just a thin case TPU soft in the hands.
The second one I got off of eBay it's blue with a clear acrylic back. Don't get that one the cut out for the finger print scanner is to small. I cut it out some more to make it work. It's a ok case if you don't mind cutting it yourself.
The third one is from Ghostek it's 40 dollars it has a aluminum frame and a acrylic clear back. It's still a little thick for me but a damn well built case. I did not even use it I am going to sell this one.

Yeah I had one of these on my V20.

I've bought a few cases across the last week.
I personally prefer the thin fit from spigen
It has a nice slightly rubberised hard finish and the case itself keeps the phone feeling nice and thin
Supports spigen screen protector and the awful glass one I've tried... I'm going to plunge and buy the dome glass protector so here's hoping that fits too

It has a nice slightly rubberised hard finish and the case itself keeps the phone feeling nice and thin
Supports spigen screen protector and the awful glass one I've tried... I'm going to plunge and buy the dome glass protector so here's hoping that fits too

It fits with dome glass. Just got done installing mine. Lots of room.

I just bought like 3 more cases. When they get in I will tell yall about them. I have never bought as many cases for a phone in my life. I have been using my phone today without a case. Man it feels good to use this phone without a case. But I know one drop its gone. Also if you keep putting it down the back will get scratched up.

Has anyone tried some new thin cases? The Note 8 is a slim sexy phone. It sucks to put it in a thick bulky case. Show us what y'all have in thin cases.

Ok here is two more that came in today. Both are so so.
The first on I got off of ebay. They made it sound like the end caps were metal. Which they are not they are cheap looking plastic. But it's ok
The second one I got from Amazon. I like it but don't think it has much drop protection. Thin thin thin.

I got the Spigen Neo Hybrid, I am very happy with it so far. The tpu layer is stiffer than most tpu layers I've used before, which feels nice, and the metal trim, while thin and a bit more pliant than I would prefer, looks great. Fortunately I haven't dropped it, but it feels like it would survive most reasonable falls. It's much thinner than my wife's otter box commuter and only $15 on amazon.

I got the Spigen ultra hybrid crystal clear case, and I live it. Have bought these before, they don't yellow and last a long time. Great for letting my dbrand Dragon skin show !!
