So, this is not a sponsored post. I had this case on my S8+ and it immediately changed the look of my phone and made it look good. I've decided to put this on my Note8.
3 quick notes.
1. This is SUPER thin. There is no protection if you drop this phone.
2. This is a PERFECT fit. Trying to use this over a skin or if you have a metal plate for your magnetic car stand will not work correctly.
3. There is no lip at the top. Do not place this face down.
With that said, this is not my every day case but looks good when you want to go almost bare.

I would be really interested in buying one of these however reading this concerns me a little...
I have a Ringke Invisible Defender Screen Protector (here)
It wraps around the phone onto the back so i guess it will not fit well with this protector if you say even a skin would interfear with it

That's 100% correct. Think of trying to put a wrap on top of a wrap. Even though they are both thin the one on top will be off by a bit.
I brought this up because with the last phone review I did on a case like this someone tried to put their case on with a wrap and they were bitter about the fit.

I really like these bear motion cases. They're done pretty good work on these, but I don't like that it doesn't go up the top and bottom and there's something to be said for the case wraps around the buttons versus a cut out and it stops. I'm kind of picky in that regard.

I'm glad you did otherwise i might of been a bit gutted too after buying one nice case though.. first one i have seen that covers the camera panel... interested to see more like this
FYI on ali express and dhgate, these types of cases are like $1.00.
Just keep in mind they take a few weeks to get here from China.

Yeah, I'm ok with not using Ali Express. Most of that stuff is junk and then if you complain it takes weeks to get another one. Sizing is almost always off.
Even though the stuff on Amazon is almost exactly the same at least you get some sort of quality control. The sellers there don't want to get booted.

I gave the same on my note 8 and it fits like a glove. I take the risk. If something happens it's on me. But I'm not gonna not use the screen and phone the way it was designed to be used.
Question: Are the sides easily bendable or movable with the eLago case? The "problem" I face with these very thin cases are that due to the nature of the cutouts and the flimsiness of the case, the sides (mainly the left side) move too easily and it drives me crazy sometimes. Especially when I attempt to take it off my car mount where only the sides are being clenched to hold the phone. I know I am being finicky, but hey, I have every right to be.
Trying to figure out whether I want the white or black one. How easy does the white get dirty?

I like the white. It's really a cool offset and your phone is black already. So what's the point.

This is a solid question. While the case is a perfect fit, the issue that I ran into with my S8 Plus is that the case did start to Warp above the power button about four months in. I shot the company a message on Amazon and they sent me a new one out no questions asked. So, it is a thin case but the customer service is above and beyond and that makes up for it

What case are you using -- and if you bought it online - from where?
Thanks!
Using a Louis Vuitton case that fit the previous HTC Fuse as well. Case is no longer available from LV tho.
http://www.myincipio.com/Samsung-Fo...-Focus-feather-Ultralight-Hard-Shell-Case.asp
That one looks pretty decent from this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835323 )
Maybe move this to accessories? I don't know!
I'm using the Body Glove case they sold at AT&T.
It looks really sharp, and feels safe; it even adds some heft that gives the phone a more solid weight and feel.
My only beef with the case is that the side buttons are hard to find, and hard to feel when pressed (makes focusing while picture taking extremely difficult).
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...sku4980540&source=ECbn000000000000O#tabModule
Under comp accessories, the Body Glove item...
I'm using the CaseMate red and black case from the AT&T store. I would have preferred it in all black as opposed to the bright red, but the thing feels very safe for taking to the gym and it adds some heft to it. The raises rubber edges on the front are a nice touch too for the few times I've had the phone face down. The buttons are very easily accessible. My only gripe would be that the two level camera button is a little bit harder to get to use for focusing-- it requires a bit more finesse as a light press will go straight to taking a picture. Other than that, if you can get past the looks of it (which really aren't that bad), I think this is a fantastic case.
Here is what I got today from eBay, the seller is Bluedot.
The fit it really good. Not too tight to activate buttons, not too loose either.
The color is a really dard brown. The flash made it look lighter than it really is.

These pictures were taken with the Focus, then I massaged them in Photoshop Elements 8
The construction seems durable. It cost $9.95 plus shipping.
Time will tell if it holds up.

This case sucks. I bought one from AT&T, and it doesn't fit correctly. You can see the gap from the case to the phone looking into the side where the power button hole is. I'm returning mine as its NOT what i would expect for $30 plus tax. Right now im using my old Nexus One pouch that i tore a small hole on the side to prevent the power button from being mushed in.
PS: to my above post. i see the same case on eBay (i have zero affiliation yet this does look authentic and not a knock off case). See
http://cgi.ebay.com/Authentic-Louis...315509?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3360ad80b5
The top flap does not really work due to the 'extra' height of the phone itself, so i just have it naturally fold behind the phone itself. Note in the side photo it does not touch the power button, so it works well and if i need to silence an incoming call it is easy. Removing and inserting the phone is also easy.
Again, i have zero affiliation with the eBay auction yet this case works well for me.
I have an Incipio hard case that I bought at my local AT&T store. These pics are crappy but I just made them in the last five minutes.
I found this Samsung Galaxy S case at Circuit City and it fit the Focus like a glove! It's not bad, and I found it at a retail location, so that's also kind of a bonus. Hopefully more good ones will come out soon!

I've got one too. I like it, though I also don't mind that it does not cover the top, bottom, or front of the phone.
If that's a problem, then I hope you like having a bright red case because the Body Glove is awful, which leaves your only other choice the bright-red Case-Mate.
I just ordered this, its the only Snap on Hard Case i could find. Hopefully its decent, but for $6 it was worth a try.

Battery Covers?
I'm not really a case kind of guy, but do hate the glossy surface of the back of my focus. Has anyone come across any back plates for the phone with a different surface? A back cover with a soft touch material would make the phone perfect. Thanks in advance...

The invisible shield covers come in a matte style for the back of the phone. I use it and like it.
I bought this the other day,
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004DFBBCE/ref=oss_product
So far i like it, there are nobs on the side instead of cutouts for buttons, and they work as if they weren't there.
The case protects the back camera lens and covers a bit of the front. The areas where it covers on the front basically masks the edges of the screen protector, which makes it look really clean.
The added silicon near the bottom prevents my palm/fingers from accidentally pressing the capacitive keys, which are a big plus for me
Case-Mate Red/Black POP Case is the one I have, and its the best case out. I wish they made it in ALL black. The case provides great protection, Already dropped it a few times getting out of my car, and the case held up great. You buy a phone like this please dont buy cheap arse $5.00 case from ebay. Dont buy the Incipio, that case is garbage. No protection at all.
I hadn't seen any reviews of this one, so I figured I'd do a quick review and give some better pics of the case in action.
Manufacturer: "Rock"
Model: "NakedShell" AKA "Barely There" for HTC Holiday/Vivid/Raider
Source: Ebay. So far, I've only seen them sold by "luckyexpress168". (I have no affiliation other than buying a case from them)
Cost: Varies with exchange rate, approx $14 USD currently
Ships from China... slowly. Not that it was unexpected, the auction says it will take a while, but it was at least 2 weeks to get to me in Ohio.
Thoughts -
Fit/finish are great. Fits the phone perfectly, and all ports are easily accessible. Headphones, USB cable, speaker, camera, flash, volume... all work fine.
The texture is hard to describe, but I LOVE it. I had tried the Otter Box rubber case before and hated it because it was so grippy. I had the hardest time getting it in/out of my pockets. Not the Rock case! It's got this great silky/velvety feel to it, but it's not "sticky" so it goes in and out of pockets easily.
The profile of the case is intentionally small. It's really "Barely There". I'm sure it doesn't offer as much protection as some others, but it seems fine for my needs. Not at all bulky and it retains what I feel are the good lines of the phone.
Overall, I'm VERY pleased with this case. Just what I was looking for, and so far I haven't seen another similar design.
On to the pictures. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll answer them as best as I can.

Damn not bad for $15. I have the otterbox but thats just because of my job and the likelyhood of something happeneing at work is high. I have been looking for a weekend/after work case and this might be it.
Thanks
Thanks for the review. The tpu case I have now works well enough while I wait for my Otterbox commuter but this one might be good for backup.
Just a question about the first picture.
How come you have the lighter circles around the soft buttons at the bottom? I don't have that on my Raider.

Oops, forgot to mention that. That's because of the screen protector. I got the Moshi at the AT&T store the day I got the phone. I know some people hate them, but I really like the matte finish and the fingerprint resistance.
Thanks,

Awesome, thanks for the review! I was debating between jumping into an OtterBox or holding out for something else. I'm glad I waited
Looks like this may be the way to go to keep from losing the back plate / cover

You like the Moshi? Mine has a bizzare rainbow effect in the middle where it meets with the glass. I hate it. It will not stay put. Slides everywhere. If yours does not have the rainbow effect, I reckon I'll try to return mine.

It actually does have that a tiny bit, but it seems to be only visible when the screen is off. It doesn't bother me, but I can understand how it would be annoying (especially for $25).

This case looks nice but im not sure how it would hold up during a drop on concrete.The bottom and top of the phone isn't that protected with this case.I work on concrete and have ordered the otterbox commuter case.I will post pics when i get it.Thanks for the great review and pictures.
I actually planned on ordering the red one for my white Vivid, but then I noticed it didn't have the small cutout for the secondary microphone in the back, next to the camera.. Not sure how important that is but it's there for a reason so I'd prefer it was open with the case on.. Disappointing..
Now thinking to get the Seidio Surface case in the Sapphire blue.. It looks like it has a similar soft touch finish, and not very bulky.. I wonder if it's as sleek as the Rock...

to each his own ...
mine is "hard rubber" with rubberized coated surface .... and the mesh took care of the rear mic problem... no need to get the drill out ...
Normally I am quite decisive when it comes to style but on this one I'm stuck.
This is an amazing looking high quality case that provides a flip cover along with corner drop protection. I am trying to decide between the orange and white vs the black on black. My phone is white. (They also have blue and white but I don't care for that personally).
My initial preference is the orange because it is cool and different. But as a professional, I don't want to look like I'm carrying my kid's phone so I think maybe black on black is the call. Hard to decide. Here they are. What do you think?

** Looks like this also comes with a free screen protector. Awesome deal for $29.99. I'm really leaning orange because it's different. I've always had black cases. The grain on the orange is really nice.
** I currently own the Samsung OEM flip case which I like very much but the lack of corner protection is making me very paranoid.

The Tridea case is very similar and same price on Amazon. Advantages of the Tridea are the card holder on the inside of the flap and the leather on the back is recessed into the plastic case, not just tacked on top (extra thickness).
I also like the contrasting inside color of the Tridea.

I've read in a number of reviews on the Tridea that the flip cover hinge is too long so the cover doesn't always remain in place. Also, it appears that on the Tridea case they have for some reason left the top right hand corner with no corner protection at all - odd choice. As for holding cards, I would never put cards in my phone as I always have my wallet with me.
Here's what one reviewer said about it:
I love the material and would love to keep it. But after inserting the phone in the plastic case (back cover) which was actually a perfect fit, the problem was the cover... the cover needs to be held by hand to cover the screen evenly. The left side flap joining the back and front was way too long. Thus it was not a tight fit and if you try to make it a tight fit (but pressing the left side flap) the cover goes out of the screen towards to the right. The other flip cover that I own have a very nice fit. I wished this one too as I would want to keep this as I like the material and color very much.

That reviewer said "the cover itself is not strong enough, faux leather was slightly bent and peeling out of box for me..." In the other reviews I've read online no one else mentioned anything like this. Elago is a well established and regarded brand. I would be quite surprised if they put out some pure crap on this one. As he mentions, his may have just been a lemon - who knows - again no other reviewers I read mentioned this. He also mentioned a lack of indent for the home button but fails to mention the case comes with a screen protector which would render such an indent unnecessary, at least with this deal.
Oh well, I have found Amazon returns to be excellent so I may take the plunge on the Orange one.
Ordered the orange one. Not that many reviews for the Note 2 version yet but lots for the SIII and they seem to love it.
Will post a review once I receive it.

Here's an Amazon Review from someone who just bought this case:
Because there were only two short reviews when I purchased mine, I was pretty skeptical that the reviews might not have been objective, but these are my honest feelings.
First, you have to want a "flip case". They are certainly a tad bit more inconvenient than non-flip cases, and this case does not have a hole cut out for the volume on the left hand side (which I am glad that it doesn't, because it would degrade the looks of the case). That being said, that's the only minor thing that I can find to say negative about the case.
The case actually came before I was able to get my Note 2, so I took it into the store when I picked up my phone. The Verison salesman who sells bunches of cases mentioned more than once that he REALLY liked my case, and that he agreed that it was much better than the Verison case.
The fit is PERFECT.
The feel is WONDERFUL.
And the overall look is definetly an strong upgrade to the phone. Very Elegant.
It doesn't have "Verizon" stamped all over it, or for that fact any other obnoxious writing. So many of the cases out there look like they are targeting the younger crowd, but not this one. Finally, there is a great case for the professional, instead of someone who goes to work on a skateboard. The looks of this case are very conservative, it feels solid in the hand and it just reeks of quality.
That's about all I can say. If I run into a negative, I will definitely post a revision of my first impression (after 3 days), but I don't think that's going to happen.
It's REALLY nice.

Doh!. I had one, but the back started peeling off. Fit was perfect. I returned it and ordered another one, but this one has the issue with the side being too long. It flops around everywhere! Well, may return and try the Elago. Let us know your thoughts on it.
Got the orange and white Elago. Quality is good but the orange is really a light orange and not the tanned leather look you see in the pictures. Returning it.
Have decided to just stick with my SAMSUNG flip case and use a lanyard fed through the speaker hole in the back to prevent against accidental drops.
Actually a nice solution.

Great to see it in action. Now it's just the phone that's missing. But I think the back cover goes on the back or the phone and not on the case itself. Since plastic on glass will create those smudge effect that doesn't look too good tbh.
Got my cases shipped 18th of March but guess it takes abit longer to ship to Sweden than the US. Got the Crystal Clear and Smoke Crystal.

Yea realized later that it should go on the back of the phone's glass back and not on the case lol.
My Emerald Green should look stunning in there, thanks for the posting
is the crystal clear flexible? it says TPU and PC. can't tell if it's more soft like a TPU or hard.

The edges/sides are TPU, the back is clear PC.

Yes Poetique is right. Ultra Hybrid has hard plastic back and a tpu frame. The Liquid Crystal has a similar look but is all TPU if you want something similar but more flexible.
Just bought this one!

If you can let update us on the fit. I got their thin fit model and it's really loose. and not snug like the same case for the S4. Apparently a lot of people are complaining about it.

I got the same one as the op and really like the thinness and feel. Good grip
thanks for the pics
i just ordered 3 of them from ebay
50usd for 3 of them includes the shippment
I actually had no idea these things came with clear protectors for the back. Only complaint I have is that they don't fit around the camera and flash/health sensor very well, and will be distracting if the phone's out of the case at any point. And if you want to temporarily switch cases, the poor cutout will be distracting. Almost perfect, but just barely disappointing :T
At the same time, though, I'm not sure if other companies offer that back adhesive.

You guys should seriously consider the Spigen NeoHybrid. Back of case is ruberized. Sides of case, meaning total peripheral is metal. Actually feels superb to hold and you still have that sense of a metal body the naked GalaxyS6 Edge comes with. Nice larger cutouts for headphone plug as well as USB for those with larger connectors. Absolutely no regrets. I did NOT opt for the optional free front screen protector. I like the look and feel of a phone with the screen as is.

I mentioned this to Spigen, they said it's so that it doesn't catch on the case?? Not sure how that's possible, as I'm fairly sure they could have made it go right to the edge of the glass and not have any issues with the case, but oh well, maybe (I hope) they tried that before making them in this smaller size
Is it mandatory to place the back screen protector when using this case? Will the case actually scratch the back glass? Thanks in advance.
you have to decide if its worth it to you to be protected, or you don't care..frankly, since I will probably jump in 6 months to the next great thing, I don't care if the back of the phone has a few scuffs, since it doesn't affect the ability to jump with T mobile. Plus, who stares at the back of their phone anyways..
I did put it on anyways, since it was there, and I figured might as well.
But if you buy it outright, or plan on keeping the phone for a while, you might feel differently
Post has been updated with my full review
I just got mine and I have to tell u guys it's amazing light slim and u don't feel it there only the edges u can see the crystal clear sides ... it's really nice and fit perfectly...

I have this case. My phone seems to move around in it. I'm guessing the case is a little to big.

Just an update on this. I have the same case since day 1 of owning the phone. It's got an ungodly amount of scratches, more than any phone I've seen before. Additionally, it has a green tint around the sides. Very disappointed. I would complain to the makers of it but I'm out of the country currently.

These look good, though can't seem to find a plain black option.
I like the slide to cover the cameras

I've preordered it, will feedback once received
These are now in stock and my pre order has been dispatched. Will post back here what it's like
Received it!
Its a very nice case. Fits very well and stays firmly on the phone. The buttons are very clicky and feel great. I like also that the case has the buttons covered, meaning the power button is the only button exposed, making it easier to find/use the fingerprint reader. A nice big case but not too big, can sense it'll protect well.
What I don't like...
-it's not as grippy as I was hoping. It's not as slippery as the stock black case, but still quite smooth I find. It is very sightly textured but with dry hands, a little more grip would have been good
-the sliding camera protector is fiddly. Takes a few tries to get used to the best way to do it. With the camera facing you, I find it a little fiddly using both thumbs. Also if you slide it all the way down, I then had to use my nails (and scratched it, even with my very small nails!). Also depending on how you do it, you run the risk of running your fingers/thumbs on the lenses which will result in blurry pics.
The best way I'm going to do is with the screen facing me instead and using two/three fingers of my left hand.
You get the status bar icon when the slider is closed.
Perhaps it'll losen up a little in time. Overall happy with it though and having this camera protection is a nice bonus.
I like the included black case quite a lot. So I am not sure if it is worth the upgrade. The only drawback of the included case is the missing chin on the bottom. If the phone falls on it the screen is in pieces.
Hey mate, what is the weight of the case?

Sorry for the delay mate.
Just weighed the case and it's 45 grams.
A good sturdy case!
I can't find any decent wallet case, at least here in Sweden!
Any tips?
I've found this cases which I believe have good grip, it seems that they offer good protection as well.

Both of the cases I received with my Zenfone feel slippery, and I think if I drop the phone they would not offer good protection, please let me know if there is another option, sadly I cannot buy the first one because they don't deliver to Peru

Is it thicker than the included black case?
It's quite bulky. But when I saw my first scratch on camera module (I asked myself many times, when? why? I was extremely careful) then I immediately ordered that case. I like it for it's quality, but it's quite slippery (especially at first touch), but on other side material on that case don't catch any fingerprints
I maked some shots, and how it's look like:

I like the case but it's a shame it doesn't lock the camera module like the stock bumper case. So my camera gets all flimsy and I can hear it knock on the plastic slider camera cover lol.
I got one of these from Amazon

Does anyone know what the material of the rhinoshield case is made of?
This is a real long shot but I'm trying to get hold of the Rhinoshield case for my Zenfone 7 Pro, scoured the internet and cannot find anywhere to get one.
If anyone happens to stumble across this post who has the case and are willing to sell it to me or know where I might be able to get one *please* let me know.
I know it's a bit late but if you haven't got one yet you could try the zenfone 8 flip case from the Rhinoshield website. Phones are same size and design.

This is exactly what I ended up doing in the end.
Yeah the 8 flip and the 7 have literally the same body, the only change in terms of physical design is that the fingerprint reader was removed from the side of the phone in favor of an under-display sensor (one of the reasons I chose the 7 over the 8 flip, I don't like under-display fingerprint readers, they're almost the same phone but I actually think the 7 Pro is superior in every way that they're different).
That change does mean that the case for the 8 flip needs to be modified slightly for the 7 though by cutting part of the side of the case away to expose the fingerprint reader.
