I know there are several threads about cases for the HD2 here, but a few are about leather cases (which I do not want to use)...there some about the silicone/ gel cases which I would like to use, and theres the invisible skin type which I would like to know more about. I do not know if the Invisible Skin/Armor ..w/e you want to call it -they seem the same to me... are tough enough to truly protect the phone from a fall ?
I also would like to know if there are any silicone/gel cases which are thinner than usual but still provide adequate protection...
One good example I can think of is this one case I saw on an iphone -it was a clear hard case, but it was very thin which made me really like it...

sry but I dont agree... you pay a lot of bucks for a phone to put it in a junk case?
its like driving a big car and paint it with sh*t
Alot of bucks!? it's ONLY £1.49!

you're not reading properly. he's saying why go cheapo on an expensive phone?
Just got the Silver Case Mate Barely There today. Brilliant stuff - super snug, mirror finish, super thin. As thin and light as More-Thing's cases in fact, which I used to use when still on a Touch HD. Finger magnet but love it anyways

Better go cheapo-if i'd get a nice looking case, i wouldn't want THAT to get scrathed up either!
I ordered the capdase protector, seems to be really nice. the invisible shield and stuff like that offer no drop protection i hope mine will offer some.
Hmm... the barely there case not available yet for Tmo US HD2
I bought my "barely there" case direct from HK. Problem is, if you have multiple batteries like I do, you tend to scratch your phone when removing/replacing the case to get to the battery cover.
This led me to use the clear/invisible armor/shield, but I've had to remove the section that covers the antenna because it seems to cause rapid battery drain - see my post at thread 652013.

and i find it's great.
is it much different than the one shipped with the hd2?
Tried quite a few cases but my fav so far is this one:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390149733765&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Also known as flexishield case. It's like a soft plastic / gel case so glides in and out of your pockets easily and doesn't stick/attract lint like some silicone cases. It offers good protection but only adds about 1mm thickness to your phone.
I recommend black/gray but the choice is yours.
I actually ordered one like that...
but I find it hard to believe that it only adds 1mm thickness, 1mm is like a screen protector thickness almost....idk maybe I am wrong?
Okay maybe two then
But certainly doesn't add much at all. A screen protector is micron thin. I don't think it adds 1mm...
There are also variations in the gel type cases. Some are actually thicker. My friend bought a similar one but was quite a bit thicker. It had like a checked pattern on the back.

After testing some cases out there in the market there are 3 problems with alluminium cases for smartphones (in my opinion makes them not an option for me)
a) They are heavy. In a 140g phone like the XZ, you will notice the added weight of the alumiun, a lot.
b) They sometimes scratch the phone if you are not careful, especialy on the XZ that has the very poor shatter sheet "protecting" the glass on the back
c) They add way too much bulk to a phone like the xZ wich is only 7.9mm
TLDR: Alluminium cases for XZ are not worth it (imho)
Oh..guess have to pass it..God they look so cool!!
DevilCase looks cool, but very expensive and there are no reviews.

They look great, Not to bulky like it was previously mentioned. Yes, they do add size, but it looks good. That particular case, slide in very easily, and the give the phone appearance. Down side to all aluminum cases, they mess with the signal a little. Nothing major, but its passable. good Good case. I have 3 of them.
Ya, just wanna see if anyone bought it.

I had a metal bumper, but with the bumper the connection is very bad.
I bought the WIT Inc metal bumper off of amazon. It was really nice at first, but quickly lost its appeal. The fit was loose. It would rattle and annoy me after a day or so. And here's the kicker, I actually had a full Skinomi skin on it. Front, back, and all sides...and that thing was still loose. As for finish, well it was beautiful. But form before function is not for me. Lastly the smooth metal edges made my phone want to slide off of anything but a perfectly flat surface. Sounds silly but you would be amazed how easily it starts moving. Arm of my recliner, dash of car, and where.

Thanks for stopping me from buy and try metal bumpers.
You save my money.
Bumpers are great. Metal is nice and classy. But the two don't mix. Get a nice plastic/ TPU bumper. Right now I'm using docks a lot so I'm going almost all natural with a skin applied and have no problem. I've always been an otter box guy accepting this is difficult. Going out in the world with a phone that's not in a case makes me feel like I'm trying to sneak through a cactus field naked.

Hi all. I got my g4 about a week ago and I've already nicked the front bezel. I have a case that I use when I'm running or at the gym, but I really like the phone without a case for day-to-day use. I like the look and feel of the leather so i really don't want to cover it.
Does anyone know of a good way to protect the bezel? maybe a thin skin to stick onto it?
thanks.
EDIT:
It looks like there are some bumper options available. I'll give that a try.

The creases are barely visible. they could probably be massaged out eventually. I'll get a pic today (hopefully)
The way I see it; It's somewhat attractive in itself, it protects the phone from scuffs, scratches, and possibly a cracked screen, etc. far less worrisome outcome than a crease on a $30 replaceable leather back-plate.
...and this is really only a problem if you decide you want to remove the case indefinitely and are annoyed by those creases staring back at you... just drop $30 bucks, problem solved. (Your leather back will wear regardless if it goes uncovered.)
But, I totally get you... whats the point of buying a protective case if it damages the phone? seems backwards, I get it.
I've NEVER seen a phone case that makes a phone look better than one without, or doesn't add weight or bulk...
You gotta compromise somehow.
You could also get an original plastic back, alleviating the whole crease thing for $12-15.
---if you're handy with a Dremel or a small file, try tapering the square edge that touches the leather back, and putting a felt strip there. It wont be visible when the case is on.
...reminds me of my mom, who always puts a cheap plastic film over her iPhone screen to prevent scratches... but in a week the film is full of scratches that the glass would have resisted. The whole point of keeping the screen optically clear is now null and void by that nasty screen cover. If the principle here is to maintaining a good visual appearance, go naked, be careful and run a risk. If you're just trying to protect an investment, cover it up.
For the record, My Z3, S5, Nexus 6, G4 and Note 3, have always gone uncovered. I've dropped the Nexus once, but still haven't learned a lesson from it.
been using that aluminum bumper on my plastic back g4, and it has scratches on the back where the aluminum meets the plastic. I would never put it on a leather back, there's plenty of reviews saying how it damaged the leather backs. It even warns against it in the description. I wouldn't put it on at all without a screen protector on for fear it would damage the front.
It does give the phone a great feel and good protection though.

how does it actually feel on hand ? compare to naked ?
naked g4 feels pretty good but i guess the bumper will destroy the feel ?
also coming from galaxy phones im worried about the chrome bezel. Will it peel after a time ?

I wouldn't buy the LG Leather case. If you look on XDA, many people are complaining about the leather wearing off, simply because they had put the phone in their jean jacket. The LG is $80 and it looks like it is sprayed on.
I purchased the Pierre Cardin from Ebay and it is quite a bit better than the LG...plus only $18 with free shipping.

Does anyone feel that the phone case provided with the phone is loose??? When I sleep n text or watch videos ,it feels like the phone will fall of the case!!
Yes, the "free" bundled case provided in the box with the phone is loose for everyone. Better to purchase a sturdy case.
yea just use it temp today , so crappy and the bezel doesnt even cover the glass , use with caution , lol
What do you guys think about this case? https://www.amazon.de/coque-Standgehäuse-Xiaomi-Pocophone-F1-schwarz/dp/B07GZLKR3T
Hmm the bundled case is just nice for mine, nothing is moving. Mine is Singapore set.

Hard case will scratch the edges of the phone since edges are the only point of contact between phone and the case.

Yes the bundled case is nowhere good for protection, best to buy either a shock proof hard case or a rubber carbon soft case from Amazon or Flipkart, check review first though

Sad to hear that. Plz invest in good back case and tempered glass. Those back case provided are of no use except for better grip.
