Body Glove Entrepreneur snap on case - review

When I got my Flipside there were not many options for snap on cases. Actually, the only one I could find was the Body Glove Entrepreneur snap on case. I got mine from eBay for $10.95, including shipping.
It has excellent fit and does not add much bulk to the phone. I feel that the phone is easier to handle with the case on.
The Flipside's camera protrudes from the back of the phone slightly. That means that without the case the phone never laid flat when placed on a table. With the case on the phone will lay flat and the camera is protected.
The back surface of the case has a raised pattern on it that keeps it from being slippery. The case does not pick up lint the way that silicon of soft rubber cases often do.
The case just snaps on the phone, but it is very secure. It is easiest to remove the case if you open the keyboard first.

Good to know. I've always resisted getting cases for my phones for this very reason. Pulling out your awesome new phone only have pocket lint stuck all over it makes anyone look like a rookie...

BoxWave metal case on Amazon - don't buy it

Just wanted to give a review of this case. I ordered it from Amazon for $27 with free shipping. I sent it back the day I got it. It is a cool idea for a case, but the hinges are flimsy and the locking clip does not really lock. It will clip and then with the slightest touch it will pop open, and the phone would fall out. The hinges slide up and down. If both these issues could be corrected (which would have been cheap and easy to do), this would be a great case. The aluminum with the foam insert would provide great protection, so it's too bad they made the rest cheaply. I had an otterbox on my old iphone, which I miss. It is no more bulky than an otterbox defender. This would have protected the phone as well as an otterbox defender case (minus the little moisture proofing the otterbox gives). Maybe at some point they will fix those issues, as this case is useless in it's current state.
*tried to post a link to my pics of the case, but since I am new here, it won't let me. If you want to see what it looks like it's easy to find on amazon.

Share some specific details about your One M8 case experiences. Please!

I'll be getting a new M8 soon, so naturally, I'm looking for a case.
I've read a ton of scattered information (even the 2014 case list thread isn't really organized), but the selection is completely overwhelming, and I couldn't find many recommendations that didn't lack some important details.
So here are a few questions to those of you using a case with the One M8:
1. Which case are you using? how much did you pay for it?
2. How long have you been using it?
3. How many times have you dropped the phone while using the case? was the phone damaged, cosmetically or functionally (details please)?
4. Has the case scratched or scuffed the body of the phone even without dropping it? how often do you take the phone out of the case?
5. How is the grip? is the case slippery? is it easy to hold?
6. How does the case look now? did it lose its shape or color?
7. Overall, are you happy with the case? do you have anything else to say about it?
8. Have you tried other cases which you do not recommend? if so, which and why?
If you are NOT using a case, answers to the relevant questions would also be appreciated.
TL;DR Please take the time to answer the questions above, as I'm sure it will be helpful to others too.

1. Unicorn Beetle Pro. $19 from Amazon.
2. 2 weeks.
3. Only dropped once, no damage at all.
4. No. Maybe once or twice.
5. Grip is ok, feel is good. Case is slippery but not as much as the naked phone.
6. Looks just like the day I bought it but I've only had it for a couple weeks.
7. I'm happy with the case, wish the outer layer would be made out of rubber. instead of soft plastic.
8. Haven't tried any other cases but kinda want a UAG.

Spigen Slim Armor Case with a iloome 9H tempered glass screen protector. I think this is about the best setup out there.
I'm a police officer and have sent this phone flying into the ground at least a half dozen times REALLY hard. Oh, and it's been stepped on at least twice. I'm happy to report, not a scratch. Nothing.
Worth your consideration.

1. Supcase Unicorn Beetle Premium Hybrid, $14.99 from Amazon.
2. 2 weeks
3. Never been dropped
4. Never take the phone out the case unless I have to mess with the Micro SD
5. I give the grip factor about a 7/10. I think it provides good grip but I can see how some say it can be slippery. I personally never had a problem.
6. Case looks great IMO. very tight fitting case and will not loose its shape. Supcase makes great cases in this model. Looks brand new still.
7. Very happy with the case. Some descriptions say form fitting and when you get them the TPU will stretch over time and not right fitting on the phone at all. I have had a supcase for the Note 3, M8, S5, G3 and everyone of them has been top quality. Will always order them for my phone if its available for it.
8. I always use Supcase but Spigen also makes some great cases which the m8 case is very very nice and tight fitting also.

Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
1. Using the supcase hybrid. Got it from Amazon for 14.99
2. I've had this case for about 3 weeks.
3. I my phones been dropped about 4+ times with THIS case.
4. The case looks very good still, it's very tight around the phone, there are no scratches or dents and the clear backing has a bit of scuff marks but nothing
ever noticeable/bothersome. I've taken the phone out more than a few times, it can be challenging because the case is sturdy, but easy to put in.
5. This case is not slippery. It has good grip, I can't really explain how it feels but it's a hard sturdy lightweight case.
6. It has maintained shape and color.
7. I'm definitely happy with this case, I see why this brand get a lot of positive reviews. It definitely will make me want to try more of their products
8. I've had the HTC dot view case which I bought from Amazon and recently returned because I wasn't aware that the flip case wouldn't close properly with my Invisible shield tempered glass screen protector... I also didnt like the top and bottom portion of my phone being exposed. I now have everyday scuff marks on the top which I was trying to avoid, and I only used the case for a few days.
I also recommend the seidio dilex/ best buy platinum series case with kickstand and holster, it's a good case that's soft touch and has as good grip(supcase still had more grip though). But it suffers more from dents and scratches from falling.

Been using this insignia case on my m8 and its perfect
http://m.bestbuy.com/m/e/product/de...acet=HTC One (M8)&cp=1&lp=1&pid=1219114899547
Price is $15. Its very slim which I love. I've dropped it several times on the screen and the stiffness of the case keeps the phone secure. It has a small lip which extends over my .3mm tempered glass.
The case itself feels kind of cheap and shows a few scuffs but it gives great protection and is very slim which is the perfect combo when buying a case IMO.
It only come in 1 color which is gold and it matches my gold m8 perfectly.

1. Incipio Dualpro Shine, $15 @ Amazon
2. About 2 weeks
3. Dropped once on concrete (ouch), it dropped from about waist height. No damage to the phone, but there are some scratches on the back of the case and some gashes on the left side, im assuming the left side is where it landed and it slid a little on its back on the concrete.
4. The case has not scratched the body of the phone. I removed my phone from the case maybe twice in the duration that I was using it
5. Grip is pretty slippery, because of the faux brushed aluminum plastic back, very pocket-able though
6. Other than the damage the case took from the drop, it's holding up well; no deformities on the tpu inner layer so far
7. Overall pretty happy with the case, it's sleek yet very protective, power button/ir blaster is open, cutouts are plenty beg enough for many cables, and it has a handy cutout for the mSD tray
8. I've tried a Spigen Ultra Hybrid, Diztronic tpu, and a fake Chinese Spigen Slim Armor on my phone as well, and they were all pretty good cases.
The Chinese Slim Armor clone was pretty good, similar to the quality of the real Ultra Hybrid I tried. Only gripe was the usb and headphone jack cutouts were too small to be of any use so I had to cut them up with a hobby knife.
The Ultra Hybrid was great as well, only reason I moved on from it was because I wanted a little more protection.
The Diztronic I moved on from for the same reason as the Ultra Hybrid, and because it isn't really screen protector friendly.

Let's talk about cases!

I'm looking for 2 types of cases (not necessary to have both features at same time):
1. Something with an in-built magnetic grip, in order to use it with magnetic car holders
2. A really rugged case.
I found these cases:
A. https://www.armor-x.com/bx3-nk19-9p...oof-rugged-case-for-outdoors-w-carabiner.html
B. https://lastu.co/collections/nokia/products/lastu-with-ring-stand
Is there anyone who got one of these cases and could give a very short real-life review?
Any other brands or models?
Thanks in advance.

I'm using this one and it is very thin light and useful

i made this one on www.case-custom.com
But i did not notice the alignment was a bit off. (the red hexagon was supposed to be in the center).
Ah well , i will see what i get quality wise before i order an improved one.
Remains to be seen if they get the alignment correct anway.

Interesting! Can you report back on the quality?

I have a case thats almost identical to your Armor one. I like it, its rugged but its just a little too slick for me. I wish it had some side ridges or grips. I always feel like its going to slide out of my hand, ofc it never does.
My Case is the Cruzerlite Carbon Fiber Shock.

I use SLEO Case - hard rubberized, very thin, light, grippy, excellent fit.

Here's a quick video of some cases I picked up.

Looking for Wallet Case
I have a tpu bumper case with a transparent hard acrylic back. It's fine. I am looking for a wallet case so I can carry my metro cards and work ID as well as use it to watch videos. Many cases fulfilling these requirements are on Amazon and Alibaba but they ALL USE MAGNETS! I will probably punch six holes in my old leather wallet case and call it a day.

Bought a beetop clear case , very happy with it. Thin, truly transparent and cutouts are nicely done.
Also bought a imak cleared case witch is exactly the opposite, thik, yellowish and cutouts are a bit messy.
The beetop was cheeper as well

I'm waiting for a proper heavy duty case that covers front and back, like Pelican/Otterbox.

I don't have this case, but it looks a bit more interesting than everything else I've been able to find. Thought I'd post this here for others looking for something different and to see if anyone plans to get it and leave a review here for the rest of us.
https://www.armor-x.com/bx3-nk19-9p...oof-rugged-case-for-outdoors-w-carabiner.html
My guess is that wireless charging is impeded by this case.

For those not sporting cases, have you picked up scratches? I am currently using a transparent case, but it's not the same as case-free.
Also, anyone noticed any impact of cases and photos? I.e. cases effecting the light/shine in images?

I sue this one:

best thin case note 20 ultra with grip

I find most cases get slippery on the sides.
I had speck in the past but it was OK any others that you recommend thanks

From what I've seen so far:
1. Spigen Liquid Air - Seems to have some good grip potential, especially with ridges on the sides. However, the gap around the camera bump is an interesting design choice...
2. Samsung OEM Matte Black Silicone Case - Seems to have a decent grip on the matte finish and very minimal.
3. Pitaka Air or MagEZ Case - While I haven't used them myself, I've heard good things about the grip/feel of the Ipitaka cases.
I'm personally going to try the PItaka MagEZ case when it becomes available (Aug 21st) since I like the idea of having embedded metal so I don't have to stick a scosche metal piece on the back of the case.
Also, just a heads up. According to some initial reviews on the new speck 'grip' cases, they're using a more plastic-feeling material for grips instead of rubberized and people are not happy about it. (I previously used them as well)

I switch phones often, but one thing that remains constant is my Pitaka MagEZ cases. Have purchased well over 10 of them at this point. Wouldn't choose any other thin case

Does the pitika have a lip to protect the screen? Thanks

The "Air" series cases generally don't rise above the screen.
They do have a thicker "Pro" series option with a raised lip to protect the screen, bumpers on the corners, etc.

The cloth one does as well since there's a slim silicone band along the edge.

Yes I've seen the one the only concern I've read it's a little difficult to remove the spen.. Your thoughts.

I will never choose Pitaka again.
Edges are rough and the upper part could have covered more
But I especially won't because it damaged my Note 10+ because of a defect in the inside of the case that made a grain of sand sized hole in the back of my phone.

Been using the Zizo Bolt on my Note 10+ for over 6 months. Excellent grip, usability and protection.
Kick stand doubles as a grip; either fully retract/extend it to keep from losing it's pins, if not secured in either position they can work their way out in your pocket! No issues with this case otherwise.
The one for the 20 seems to come with a temper glass screen protector; that may not work so well.
That's not present on the one for the 10.
Presumably you can use it without and substitute one one your choice?
Damn the 20's cam has a big bullseye on it... no likey. Buying a good case for the 10+ was very hard early on, no doubt the 20 U will be harder to protect

you know i never thought trying to find a case was going to leave me so hard pressed. note i do not mind the camera bump one bit. but they could have rounded out the camera hump a bit more. not the corners, but where the surface meets the edges and also they could have slanted the sides a bit more angled. who knows they did pull it off pretty good.
still on the camera bump.
note: with JJNUSA leather case you will be covering the mic on the camera bump. if that is a problem for you look elsewhere for a case.
i have received 200 in incentives to order goodies when i got my phone pre ordered and used it to order a few cases.
cases i ordered:
samsung rugged: bulky, heavy, don't like the texture on the back and flimsy kickstands that shoot off when used
samsung leather case: upgrade from last years, 2g lighter. seamless, but warps at the bottom. good cam protection.
samsun silicon: unsure if food grade safe. and slippery as glass
-other cases-
spigen Rugged Armor: oddly best all tpu case with carbon fiber accents. the back is slippery if trying to reach across the screen. side bumpers have one way slip grip and flimsy. camera is well protected. pen cut out too deep corner exposed but covered. top /bottom bumper good but top may block ear piece. 2g heavier then jjnusa leather
...now my official review of the JJNUSA Handmade Leather Case...
NOTE i used amazon prime
don't let the first pic they have on amazon throw you off, but what bothers me is the video they added to the product and it is of the s20 ultra; the camera lens is so scratched. i am still baffled how they did that. then again we will see in due time, because i can not stand the samsung leather case(which got me hooked on leather cases oddly) it is too slippery. the jjnusa case has tpu sides and saddle leather on back with plastic on the inside that the phone rests on. but i will say the leather on the back is so soft i think it sorta makes up for the lack of suede like the official samsung case has. then again the leather is so thick its' edges pop out the mold a teensy-weensy bit, but i doubt with proper use and not picking at it it will survive for a long time. with the 5% off coupon i also got another 1 usd off(who knows if it was the amazon prime). so for 19.95 it is a steal. most other leather cases are $30+. a steal; why may you say? hold on let me get to the rest of it. if we all remember the lg g4 leather back it was a looker. that was it, because it scratched easily and punctured easily. then we go onto the samsung leather case that scratches easily with minimal show. further more i can not say what that will mean over long term usage with this case from jjnusa. treat it lightly and it should be fine. now back to the leather on the jjnusa case. the leather reminds me of the type you get on a saddle and does not separate from itself. that is a plus. but a minus if the antiquing they use comes off very very easily?, and it does(con or not?) i had a cane that had antiquing and it turned my hands black, but after it leveled out it was fine. you know they always slap so much on to fill in the design that almost certainly more then half they put on will rub off. i have rubbed off some already. hence it would not rub off like wow, i had to use my nail. no way does it show like scratches on the samsung leather case. either way the extra antiquing will no matter what fade away over time and settle down to where it should be. i still think it will look good. at the same time the leather is much more scratch resistant then the latter. and the design and the look really grew on me. now on to the sides. the power button and volume are labeled with symbols and i like it even though i will never look at it. what else i like is that they are tpu like the rest of the sides. the tactile of the buttons are sturdy then again not too stiff not too mushy. then there is a bonus or an achilles heal; you move down the same side as the buttons and find a wrist strap punch out so you can add a wrist strap. have not tested it, seems like it should be worthy of use and not fearing. the bonus is removing the phone from the case, it does not shoot out like it does with the samsung leather case does. still it holds it in better. this is where i tell you that the jjnusa case has way better screen protection that leaves a better feel in the hand. the samsung leather case has a squidgy spongy top and bottom. the bottom is already warped and i never used it; i just put it on a few times and took it off. also a fail for the bottom bumper is the difficulty to remove the spen without nails. the jjnusa case is cut out just right and since it is thinner and more stiffer in a good way you can press your thumb or finger and hear that satisfying click to eject it. with that said the top and bottom bumper are raised higher then the samsung to protect the screen. the samsung case is more flush and flimsy.
i am a happy camper and if it fairs well i will update to 5 stars from 4, but i am really thinking at the price to slap down for another. as we all know leather cases do not last as long as other types
the reason i gave it 4 stars is i never really heard of JJNUSA till i saw them on etsy.com and since they where based in china i thought meh. then i thought to ebay's third party cases and said but leather? does not smell much like leather, oddly that is how saddles with the same type of leather smells. or it could be the antiquing they used and the shipping package. it was not shipped in a box or cheap plastic, it was in a cloth sleeve in a sealed padded envelope. JJNUSA do claim Oregon origins... yeah right etsy.com says ships from china.
i have played around with plenty of cases and phones in cases so it's not like i only have really had the note 20 ultra... just do not get one of them ultra thin all tpu cases. i have one for my lg g4 and only really protects the sides and back. busted the screen.
