Ebay rubberized cases

Anyone bought one? i figured $6 a piece...y not
Sent from my wifes shift because its way better than my hero.

I got mine today. Bought it from a seller off ebay. I can't post links yet else I would show you which one. Sorry.
It makes the phone kinda thick and its definitely not rubberized just cheap flimsy plastic. The front cover on mine does not stay on. looks like it was miss manufactured and is missing a tab. Contacted the seller and he's sending me a new front cover. Hopefully this one is better. The back piece stays on pretty solid. In fact I'm scared to take it off. Feels like I might break the tabs on it if I do. Makes it hard to slide the keyboard out lots of resistance but my phones slide is pretty resistive to began with.

I bought one on ebay as well. Maybe it's just my luck, mine works fine, both the front and back cover stays on. I am not sure what the previous poster means by it's not rubberized, mine pretty much feels like the back of the shift but a bit more smooth/less rubbery, if that makes sense.
It does make the shift thicker, but to me it makes sense because it protects the camera lense & screen when you put the phone flat on a surface. But it does make the power button harder to press when I wasn't used to the case. FYI it's about 2mm thinner than the Seidio case, according to my measurement against the measurement someone posted for the Seidio case.
The only thing I don't like about it is that there is a slight bow on the right side of the front cover. You can't tell by looking but it doesn't stay against the side of the screen and there's a slight give when you press on it.

Wife and I got ours, no problems what so ever, sweetg colors too! Def is rubberized

Links would be great.

Here you go - Blue

How does this feel in your hands. On my shift, when I am messaging for awhile with my hardware keyboard, the hard edge on the back of the screen starts to dig into my hand, and I often will hit the power button. Has anyone who has gotten one of these rubberized cases noticed this before (or after) they got this case? Can anyone take a few picture of these with the keyboard open please?
thanks!

I just got this case because my prior case (the one in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926269) was a bit bulkier than I wanted. However, that just means that now the whole issue of hitting the volume key is back.
Oh well. I'll keep this one for a bit to see if I get used to it or if need to switch back to my other one. FYI for everyone, I got the black version and this has a few bits of plastic pieces that got baked onto the back during the manufacturing process. Not a big enough deal for me to exchange an $8 case over, but just so you're aware there might be some minor quality issues.

Yup, another broken screen.

The USB cable was hanging over my desk. Those that have a nexus 4 know very well these things glide easily on flat surfaces.
The weight of the USB cable pulled the phone for a 3 foot fall to my wood floor. Both glasses shattered. Touch does not work. Back on my trusty galaxy nexus until further notice.
FYI bumpers are still on back over ever since I ordered my phone. 1st day order. I received the n4 last week.
It's already been shipped back to LG.

OH EM GEE!
Glad I bought a cheap case for the mean time.

This gives me nightmares.

Omg !!!!!!!!!! This phone is a slippery devil! Must buy a case soon :/

*slow clap* I commend you for having the fail to break both sides at once, something not even iPhone users do

drop test right here
Makes me not wanna buy this phone

Dannng! Sorry about your loss. Hope the phone doctor can resurrect your new toy!

Its does glide. But not really if u have a protector on the back. My brother dropped his twice like this. Nothing happens though

I always have a few accidental drops on my phones.. A case is now on order! still waiting for my N4 to be shipped

Ohh boy!

Wow just got mine a couple hours ago, I'm already scared to drop the thing... Getting a case is the next logical move... Then wireless charging

Mine almost fell the same way as well. Luckily, I managed to catch the device before it actually fell anywhere.
I see a lot of people talking about getting a case but that's not going to stop your screen from cracking guys. Cases in many senses are absolutely useless. The shock from the fall can still break the back even if you do have a case.
I will remain caseless for now, I can't put a cheap piece of plastic over something this beautiful.

Usb cable pulled it to the floor? Sounds like some final destination stuff. Effed up. 3ft to wood for cracked both sides too? Smh
:xda on sprint g-nex:

What a bummer. At least you got the double whammy!

I saw the first picture and thought daymn.. then scrolled down and made an audible WTF noise. Well done. That's impressively smashed.
Can you please update OP with your location, how long it took to repair and how much it cost in total when you get your phone back? Don't have too it might just be good for reference in future.
Thanks!

well it's better than having no case at all. i've dropped phones with cases on and not a single scratch/crack. i'll sacrifice the extra bulk over a smashed phone

Just a protector front and back for me, no case! I like to live on the edge... And this phone feels too good

OMG.... thats is too bad...
my case ( sleeve ) is on order... hopefully we dont break many of these beauties... be careful ppl..

I think I bricked it...

Did you try to recalibrate it? Gamma?
Seriously that doesn't look like a simple fall to the ground o. O

It was a simple 4' drop to tile.
Part of me is surprised it took so much damage, part of me is surprised it's taken this long. There have been some quite impressive drops this phone has survived.

4' that's like 35 liters haha kidding
Jepp that phone took surpringly heavy damage

Yeah they've pretty much proven 4 feet straight drop on the screen will break any smartphone screen. I was thinking about this the other day, my glasses aren't made of glass, they are polycarbonate with a polyurethane scratch resistant coating. Wouldn't that make more sense for phone screens than glass? There's a common misconception that gorilla glass makes a difference, nope it protects against scratches, not falls.
Not to mention the odd design choice of tampered glass as opposed to having polycarbonate surround the glass so it absorbs impacts. Google literally made the world's most fragile phone with this thing

Yep. I ran over my one x with my Chevrolet 1500 Silverado. It took no damage. Screen didn't crack, and the case was fine until I threw it on the ground, screen shattered in 500 places

It's been dropped from that height more times than I can count. I think my back wasn't level, because if you placed it on a flat surface you could watch it slide itself off.
It also survived being thrown at a wall (headphones + coworker = bad time). This one hit just right it seems.

The other case in the picture is a sedio surface for scale.
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=261248376245
I just got one of these shipped from California. It seems pretty decent. It is water tight. I tested it in the sink.
The screen works through the case but none of the side buttons are accessible. The home button and capacitive buttons work fine.
The headphone and micro-usb are also closed off.
The screen protector and gasket are one piece of silicone and kind of rubbery feeling when you use the touch screen.
Definitely an improvement over two ziplock bags.
I'll do some more testing and report back if it kills my phone.

Not clear if you can place Note 2 w/SURFACE case inside of this waterproof case? Just thinking if it will survive a drop inside of this case if you place the phone naked. For example, in my review of waterproof bag (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364060) I wouldn't put a phone as is, but rather with Tough or TPU cases to survive a minor drop.

Just the phone itself. The case is molded to fit.

In your opinion, will it survive a drop? How about if there is any room to put a driver license, atm/credit card, and maybe a few bills (facing back of the phone)?

Its probably better protected from a drop than the surface case would do.
There's no room for anything else in there.

Post a video of it being submersed in the sink or container and fully working

Ok. Took it for a swim. It's very water resistant but not water proof. After about 30 minutes in the waves with no more than 4 feet of immersion I got a tiny trace of moisture. No damage.

Rather than a case to waterproof the phone, has anyone used liquipel (or other similar products/services)?
I just cracked my screen, so when I order the replacement through insurance I would like to send the new replacement phone to one of these places and have them treat it to become waterproof. This way I still have access to a phone and can get it shipped processed and returned before I'm forced to send in my broke phone to the insurance company.
Before I pay to have my phone treated, I want to confirm that it actually works since the one company I've been looking at has a whole warning page about what to do if your phone gets wet...The point of getting it done is to be able to do nothing when the phone gets wet (seems to me that's what I would be paying them for).
I've seen a video with a note 2 treated to become waterproof. They submerge the phone in a bowl of water while the screen was on and it seems to work (other than a precise or responsive touchscreen while submerged which is to be expected).
I'm a bit confused though with how it had no issue with the battery connection. Even with a waterproof battery and phone, I have a hard time believing that water all around this area would not have an effect on the phone...but I'm really not sure as it maybe due to a cell battery may not produce an electrical current strong enough for water to be a conductor.

KAYSCASE Slim Hard Shell Cover Case

I used this exact case for my M7 phone and I love it. It's still the best case in my opinion. It doesn't add much to the phone and it's a hard shell transparent case that protects the metal side from scratches.
I just bought it on Amazon and I will show some pictures once I get it.

*I know the picture on the website still shows the old M7 but hopefully, they know what they are doing with the M8 case.

I just ordered one for mine. Thanks.

Does this case have cut outs for both the power button as well as the volume buttons?

It is open on the top and open on the bottom. Adds some grip to the phone as well even tho it is smooth.

Can you check the top left corner of your case when you get it? Does it feel a bit loose? Mine kind of moves only on that corner. I fear that slight movement may cause scratches over time.

mine feels kinda loose on all the corners except the bottem left, but its not like a loose where the case is going to fall off or anything its like there is a tiny bit of play. i've noticed that trying to take this case off is kind of difficult but not extremly hard it's just weird, all in all a good slim case i think, only had it on for about 12 hours thou

does this case make the phone easier to grip?

feels a little better than the phone itself, i can't say anything about the other colors because i have the black one and it feels good on the phone. there are no lips around the screen so i wouldn't recommend setting the phone on the screen part as the screen will be touching the surface

My clear came in today. It def makes the phone easier to hold. The clear scratches very easily (in fact I think it came with light scratches) but I expected that from reading the reviews. I like it because its really thin and doesn't add that much bulk.

I picked this up but haven't put it on yet. Kinda worried about it scratching the phone with its rough edges...anyone put on and take off the case multiple times yet? Any scratching of the side bezels or back on the phone?

I put mine on and took it off a bunch of times. I don't think I like the case at all. I doubt it will protect the phone at all during a drop. About the only thing it will do is protect the back from scratches which i'm not that worried about.

Picked up one on Amazon for 50 % off with coupon code kay50off.

Thanks for the coupon code, just ordered one myself!

Don't think it'll be very protective but it adds grip while maintaining a case-less look.
