Hi, i`ve been searching for a transparent case for OP3. I want to buy the soft gold version, it looks really beauty. I don`t like to buy a beautyful phone to cover with a case and looks like any other phone. But i priorize protection too. I found a transparent case by Nilkin at AliExpress, but i don`t know if it`s a good case. What do you recommend?
Orzly Flexicase
The best transparent case which is also still pretty protective is probably the ringke fusion

i agree with the orzly flex case, it does not give much bulk but can protect too

Ringke fusion is an amazing case for the money. I'm rocking it right now. I got the Pleson TPU case initially, but this Ringke just blows it out of the water. Very very well thought out. Probably the best TPU case I've ever owned for any phone. I religiously buy TPU as I have found it protects phones much better than any Otterbox, or anything with a "hard" cover. The hard covers all create a much higher impact in my personal opinion on the phone. The TPU absorbs the impact, instead of transferring it into the device. Never broke a single screen/phone wearing a TPU case, and I'm rough with my phones. I take them dirt biking on trails and on the MX course. I've crashed countless times. Never had a single issue.
The only thing a TPU case can't protect you from, is getting drunk and getting in the river and forgetting your phone was in your pocket. I'll miss you 1+1, I'll never forget you....

hello from ATX! I had the pleson (clear) case first too, and while it's a great looking case I agree the best TPU slim case I've found is the Ringke one so far as well (and i've tried a good handful...)
I have the Orzly flexicase. It's look and feel is just great.
I've got the Pleson and the Ringke. It took some getting used to but I like my Ringke one more, harder plastic on back with tpu sides is nice
I have the Orzly Flexicase also. Love it. It isn't too thin or thick. I dropped my phone numerous times already. Haven't damaged it yet. (knock on wood)
I have a nillkin nature case since november, it's still great, not any scratch and protects my phone well, but it is becoming "yellowish", it's not as transparent as on the beginning.
Nillkins transparent tpu case is great. I"ve been using it since a few months. It's super slim compared to my other noname TPU case, has great grip dou to its sides. I've been using a case like this on my last 2 phones, will get one for the next one for sure.
I'm using stock just fine.
I am using Ringke fusion, it's nice but the rear is a fingerprint magnet.. It is getting dirty very fast.
I've bought orzly flexicase, will compare it with the Ringke one when I receive it.
Also for me the best is the Nillkin tpu case, very slim and transparent that show the device without cover it.
That cover have also a protection for the hole of type c cable.
For me official curved tempered glass with poetic affinity case is perfect
I have the spigen ultra hybrid and it's great. Also fits snugly with the orzly tgsp, no issues.

I've been using the official transparent case from OnePLus and it's good. No yellowish tint so far in 5 months.
I'm using spigen hybrid ultra clear case and it's incredible, fits really well and dust doesn't get under the case. Really good.

I currently have a body glove case and a screen protector. I'm wanting a case with the protection of the otter box defender but with a similar feel to what i have now as it's not very bulky at all. I have a at&t phone. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA08919W5928&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-_-pla-_-All+Cases+%26+Covers-_-9SIA08919W5928&ef_id=UyJb4wAABDAM6nfE:20140320220013:s oh yeah, the screen protectors i have aren't wide enough for the screen, they miss just a little bit of it on one side.
I know you like more protection for your phone but I've been super happy with a poetic slim case with no screen protector. There is a slight barely noticeable edge around the front so no problem laying case face-down on tables.
Poetic-Palette-Case-Black-Only (search amazon)
For a more protective case:
SPIGEN-Protective-Sprint-T-Mobile-International (search amazon)
About screen protectors: I used to use them on every phone but these days the glass material used is very hard to scratch and I think the protectors are redundant. But my phone is in my pocket mostly and I have only dropped a phone rarely. YMMV.
I have a commuter. Pretty awesome protection while not adding too much bulk.

Are you kidding??? This is the uggliest case ever made for the G2 IMO.
If you want the protection of the otterBox without the bulk just go with the COMMUTER case by OTTERBOX
I just discovered "Nillkin Super Frosted", it's really good, excellent fit for D802 version. Really good one.

Use a TPU Silicon Case,i think this is the best for Every Phone.
Tudia-clear skin-Poetic
I was using the relatively slim Tudia case since the first day i got the G2. After a few months, even that case was too bulky for me. So I took the case off and tried IQ Shield's full body clear protective skin. It works great against scratches but I decided to go back to a case after i dropped it on some tiles and dented the plastic corner a bit. I will try the even slimmer Poetic now.
Hello, I buy a G2 and I have been reading a lot of opinions here on XDA but I can't decide at all.
I want something protective, and also lightly
I saw Nillkin frosted shield here
But I think it is not very protective, or I am wrong?
I also see Spigen Slim Armor here, it seems to be protective but is heavy, is't it? How much does it weight?
Or maybe a tempered glass + Nillkin frosted shield?
Is there anything between nillkin and Spigen?? (I don't like silicone case)
Is Diztronic Matte + an screen protector the best for me?
As you see I read, but there are a lot of opinions in a lot of pages and it is difficult to make up my mind.
Thanks for helping and sorry for my english, I am from Argentina

I got this Speck case
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IEYHJU8/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_7PzJub1VZ7N4Q
It looks like a two piece thing but is actually a fused one-piece case and quite slim. I have a used G2 in white and it has all sorts of dings and scratches on the phone, this case covers them all up perfectly. It looks and feels amazing. This color is a bit "pretty" but my four year old daughter loves it, so that works for me. I imagine if you have the black phone the black case would look better.
I also ordered a leather case from Tetded but that ships from hong Kong so it will be a while before I can evaluate.

How does the speck case protect against bumps and drops? As good as the spigen?
I'm using a Diztronic case and this tempered screen protector: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KVIGG54/
They work well together and I have no complaints about the protection. I'm pretty hard on my electronics and have dropped it to concrete quite a few times with no damage. I was even able to transfer the screen protector to a new phone when I had to get a warranty replacement for a defective camera sensor.
I used to have a two piece otter box style case because I was very paranoid about damaging the phone when I first got it. I got sick of struggling to get in in and out of my pocket since the phone is so big.

i doubt this case would protect your phone from a waste high drop
Sent in my phone because the charging port stopped working, and I'd like to buy a new case for my m8.
I am looking for something that looks decent and adds protection, with support for a tempered glass screen protectors.
I had a spigen case before this for a few months and the back is already scratched and looks very unappealing now.
Does anybody have recommendations?
I've always been a fan of UAG cases aka urban armor gear http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/.
Every so often they have specials going on as well.
I've been very happy with my Trident Aegis case. $20 on Amazon and offers excellent protection. I've dropped my phone several times and the case has held up well. I've had it nearly a year now with no issues.

This, I love my UAG case.
I have a ringke slim case black matte one from amazon... Been using it for a few months and works amazing! Catches mad oil though but one wipe and its clean
Otterbox symmetry
Check out the Amazon reviews.
I bought and reviewed 3 cases here in my post. I've since then ditched the dilex as it seems a bit bulky and have switched over to a black supcase unicorn beetle with a red body since i was replacing the usb/3.5mm board on my phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2728080 I hope that might be some help to you.
spigen hybrid. transparent, great materials, very strong
Yup, i think UAG has one of the nicest looking tough case out there.
So I ordered one of those knox armor cases for $14 off Amazon. They're similar looking to the Otterbox and offer similar protection. Only thing is they don't have a built in protector but that's not a big deal because I have tempered glass on mine.
Only think I really don't like is just like the Otterbox Defender, the rubber near the home key tends to work a little loose after riding around in my pocket.
The rubber around it seems a bit more dense so hopefully it last longer than the Defenders. After just a couple months my Defenders always become looser due to the rubber wearing.
It's not the best case but for $14 bucks I'll take it over a Defender though. It provides more protection than the Supcase too. Only other durable case I can think of that is more durable than this is my Poetic Revolution which I love but it's huge and doesn't work with wireless charging like this one does

I got a Supcase. I like the built in screen protector on it but it is a it thin for my liking. I think the best case for being really rugged is the Poetic Revolution but it is kind of over kill but a great case. Again for max protection Supcase is like commuter case to me. The Ulak case is thick and feels more like a Defender. If Ulak case wears like the Otterbox I'll probably rip the temperd glass off and go back to Supcase or the P

To each his own but I'll go to bat for the unicorn beetle. I v dropped it plenty of times and not even the tempered glass has broken yet..... knock on wood. The buttons work great and it has a belt clip. Can't beat that in my book
I've got the ulak, and I really like it. I was going to get the supcase, but I REALLY don't like built in screen protectors.

I like the built in one on the supcase. It isn't like Otterbox. It fits flush so dirt doesn't get under it. However the Supcase is stiff and too thin for my liking for drop protection. The Ulak seems good. Even if it only last 6 months it was only 14 bucks. My otterBox after 3 months was wearing a lot so I bought other cases. Waste of 50 bucks. My next Note phone I'll order some Amazon cases a few days before I buy the phone so I'm not suckered into buying otterboxes.
I have and use the supcase daily. I love the fit and finish you can definitely tell it's a well made piece. I did also grab one of the Knox armor cases too for around 3 dollars with a coupon code from amazon. Side by side it's easy to tell the supcase built much better. As far as drop protection goes between the two I have no idea, but I have dropped my note a couple times so far. I have yet to actually put the ulak case on, never found a reason to take the supcase off

The Supcase the phone feels kind of thin to grip. Maybe it's because I'm so used to using Otterbox Defender and Poetic Revolution cases. I always thought the Note 5 was a bit thin to grip.
Another good case to check out is the Artech 21. I like the Supcase but it just seems a bit too thin especially with all the glass on this phone. That is why I went with the Ulak. So far after a week it's still holding up well compared to the Defender I have.
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

I was looking at that Spigen but I did not like the corners. How they have a crack in them. I thought more dust would get in and not as good drop protection.

It wouldn't be as good as the bigger cases but I don't think it would do that badly... Spigen make good cases.
Yeah the sides I don't really notice.. Its probably one of only types of case out currently like this, the rest are a little bigger and bulky

Something about clear cases that I don't like. On the sides it looks weird. I have a clear one but it's just clear on the back the sides are colored.

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.

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 !!
