Unboxing - Aside from the case itself, you get a package of screen protector with necessary tool to apply. According to some user reviews, the screen protector doesn't fit nicely as there are a little bit part (around 2mm) that doesn't stick completely both on top and bottom of the handset. The surface is kinda rubbery similar to Thinkpad or Motorola Milestone, while it is good for a grip it is also prone to attract dirt if you have white color that is. Selection of color will be: Black, Brown, White & Red
Overall look - I think I'm love ..look definitely sick for me
Fit for I9023 - Perfectly fit, it's specifically designed for I9023 dimension. It doesn't look bulky at all, I would call Momax case bulky (I have one) while this just fits perfectly in hand.

Nothing much, just my Audiophile setup. That earphone is a custom made YUIN PK3

im in love with the headphones.

That has the same look as the Incipio Feather but I think this looks much better in white. I've got the red feather right now but would have picked white if they had it.
Is there any place to buy this online?

I've searched on eBay but I couldn't find the exact one. I got it from Taobao (similar to eBay in China)

Hey guys, I did a quick search and found this site selling the white case:
(don't have enough posts yet for linkable URL)
www DOT obostore DOT com/nillkin-ultra-slim-hard-shield-faceplate-for-samsung-nexus-s-p-801 DOT html
I've never ordered from this site before, but for 9.99 plus free shipping, it doesn't seem like a bad deal at all.
I might order this case once my NS comes in.
Hope this helps!

Oh man, just noticed it's for the i9023. The fit's probably not going to be that great for my i9020..
Guess I won't get it after all. >:

You just made me order a pair of those of headphones, tough sans custom made I reckon

This case does not fit the NS4G. It is too big and slides around

I finally realized that the i9023 is slightly thicker then the i9020. Wasted 3 cases on it. Currently using a Ballistic case but its huge. Ordering the white one like the OP now.

This seems ideal for me..just can't decide for black or white...
Does anyone have this in black?

I did not found the black color... any help?

A few days ago I ordered the white one on obostore. I'll post my impressions as soon as it arrive

Thanks ...

for the 9020 too?
*edit*
sorry...is a different one

That case looks great, I may have to get one.

Anyone in the UK interested in one of these? I am selling the black version cheap.
Please reply on the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21437070#post21437070
And its brand new!

this is black color ^^
I bought it from here
http://www.obostore.com/nillkin-ultra-slim-hard-shield-faceplate-for-samsung-i9023-p-3715.html
30gg china to Italy
sorry for bad photo but i did the photo with my lg optimus one

Can't decide between to get the silicone or the hard shell.
My worries:
Silicone will be a lint magnet and will get loose over time, but nillkin is a high quality brand so it might not happen.
Hard Shell will be too little protection and if I drop it, the phone might still be damaged.
thoughts?

it's very cool for my nexus s i9023 where i can buy ?

HTC One M8 Hyperion Case - Smoke

Got the Hyperion case from Amazon and I really like it:
Here's the link to the product via Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HQMNSMW/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Gunmetal. I guess it's just the lighting in my kitchen.

Mine came in last night. For being a cheaper case, I love it.

Do they have just a straight clear one?

I ordered a blue one that came in yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised by its quality given how inexpensive it is.

I got a black one, and for $10 on prime, I'm thoroughly impressed by it. Initially I got it as just a temp case until I decided which nice case I'd eventually get (I love seidio, but their cases aren't available yet)
This case i'm not sure if I'm going to replace. It's got a rubbery edge that makes grip really easy, and a matte back that makes pocket sliding really easy.
The fit is spot on, the buttons aren't hard to press, the power button and camera lenses are slightly recessed now....
Really impressed by this little $10 sleeve. I recommend it to all my HTC M8 people.

I cannot tell from the pictures, does it have cut-outs for the buttons or are the buttons covered?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Side buttons are covered. Power is not. Sorry for not capturing that. My bad.

I abused amazon prime and got the hyperion, the red shield, the iblason and the GizmoDorks TPU cases. (I wanted to compare quality, and they all arrived in one shipment, so my carbon footprint wasn't SO massive -_-)
This was the only one which didn't cover the power button. And funnily enough, I had thought I would want it covered. But the problem I found was that the power button felt very mushy on the other three cases. The volume buttons felt great on all of them, but the red shield and iblason felt to be made of a thinner plastic than the Hyperion and the GizmoDorks.
I'm not sure I'm happy with the clear/frosted look, but use and quality-wise, it's definitely the top of the pack.

Thanks for the detailed pictures! Does this case or any case for that matter have any effect on the IR blaster?

Now I have question about that, first of all does anyone of you experienced the same stuff with your spigen case with coloured Bumper?
And as second does anyone have this case by Spigen Spigen Ultra Fit Capsule and has some bad or good experiences with it ?
LG ZUBEPLANET, the whole world is a ZUBE!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

No one ?

i had a spigen ultrafit for a few weeks. the case is quite nice. offers good protection. the clear back was outstanding. but i changed it because if the covering of ir blaster and i feared the clear back would take up a lot scratches and discolor over time so i changed it. it is a good case. but you have to be careful when placing it and also carry a microfiber cloth so you can clean the back frequently. IMO it is one of the most beautiful case.

Ok thx dude. which case do you use atm. i am searchign a minimum transparent back case. dont need to be hard case but transparent would be really nice.
other cases are nice too if they have good grip , nice look and dotn make the phone to a box

Minimal clear? The baseus... I have that too, beats all the rest I've seen or tried in terms of thin and light.

Keys are transparent but covered by the case, so you can barely see them due to the design on the case over the button regions. The keys function excellently tho, unlike most other cases where the keys are covered and the fit and cut-outs are excellent with no discoloration of the case.
It's a sticky, hardgel-like case. Very protective of the phone and guarded all around with perfect grip.
It does add thickness around sides and back tho - no way a thin case. At least +6mm to all sides. But it's smaller in volume than other non-transparent cases, by far. You can feel the added size of the case on the phone, especially on the depth of the phone (6mm or so).
It's more of a gel bumper all around the phone.

Spigen Neo Hybrid - different edge design between Satin Silver and Gunmetal colors???

Yesterday I've bought (orginal) Spigen Neo Hybrid in Gunmetal color version.
I've noticed that rubber edge finishes are different from what I've seen on internet at SatinSilver color version.
There are are 2 major differences - more narrowed edge at each corner and thinner rubber edge on side.

At Stain Silver version edges are smooth without any narrowing at corners
I've found another pic from someone's unboxing of Gunmetal version and it have the same different corners as mine!
Could anyone with Gunmetal or SatinSilver color version, please confirm that?
If it's true I will exchange mine to SatinSilver version.

The Satin one is harder to put on and remove with those corners.
The Gunmetal looks to have been an updated version that solves the problem by making the corners a little thinner.
Honestly I would keep the one you have as cases that are hard to put on or take off make me feel like I will break my phone when removing it.
Or at the least they will pull your back off every time you remove the case, and then you have to remove the back from the case.
I think the gunmetal one looks just fine like that, just my opinion though.

I have tried myself 2 Golden version, they are all the same with this thin edge and deformed corner. I thought that I have got the bad luck 2 times.
Now it seems to be a serie problem. (I say it is a problem, since the new form make the case doesn't fit so well, easy to get out. The edge is so thin that it can't really hinder the phone to slip out. Also the corner make the dust easy getting in and doesn't look nice).
Is the picture taken by yourself with the Silver version? If so, I will definitely get the silver one even it is more difficult to get out, since I won't bother getting out the phone from the case so often.

I got the same exact problem with Gunmetal one (too easy get out), so finally I've exchanged it for the Silver one and now it's fine, but I think that it's more likely to depend on series number than actual color. You need to check the series number at back of the box, the correct one is - ESOL210415, anything above will be the newer batch.

Interesting information, I checked the serial number of my gold one, ESOL180915, way after the batch. I have ordered a silver one, let's see if I am lucky.
Update:
The silver one has also the new "feature".

?
do you have a leather back?

I have a leather back, but have also the plastic back. Tried both, same thing. And the corner forming doesn't have anything to do with that. What a dissapointment from SPIGEN, if you change something, at least try it yourself to see if it still fits good and looks well!

Sorry to hear that, then only hope is to check at retail stores for older batch.
I like the idea with changed corners to ease taking out, but new thin edges ruin everything :/

thin cover

hi guys, I have a problem to use covers, as I have small hands the normal covers increase the width in the phone, so it is more difficult to use it with one hand, there is a cover with very thin edges that is reliable and compatible with the film whitstone?
I like very much pitaka cover but can't see carbon design, l'm loooking for some similar cover.

http://r.ebay.com/WdHOkZ
Here's mine... I have black and blue versions. Bought many different low cost cases, and some more expensive ones like spiegen for example, but keep coming back to this one as it adds minimum bulk and keeps the original feel of the phone. Plus the stand is magnetic and comes really handy.

I thank you, I know this cover but I'm afraid the edge is not as thin as I want and has a certain thickness of at least 2mm, do you agree? if not how often is it accurate?

I can totally understand u need...
I have few of them...
Spigen is thin but not thin enough...
The best I found is Samsung thin case... It's the thinned u will get... But very slippery
Baseus makes something very similar.. Nice colors and slippery again...
What I have done now is I have put a clear slickwrap back of device on the cases to make it Less slippery...
Here are some pics if the Baseus case...
I can post links /pics of the other ones when I get home.

thank you very much this cover is very nice, I hope also protective, waiting for the link.

check this out, it's very slim, almost zero bulk

How about original Samsung cover? Not sure how it goes with Whitestone, but I've been using this for about 5 months and there's no going back. Ps. I'ts only 0.95mm thick.
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/m...note8-protective-cover--black-ef-qn950cbegus/

this is a very thin case too
im using it
so far very satisfied
do note if you own the midnight black note 8 and if you order the transparent black, it will not be a fully black case.. the logo will not be visible as how its advertised (but im okay with that. does still look nice)
https://mnmlcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-note-8

Lol i didnt measure is it 1 or 2 mm. But spigen thin fit is the best.

Thanks guys, I'm very confused now, it's a very difficult choice considering also that I have the whitstone tempered glass.
I remain of the idea that pitaka is the most serious and the most subtle but also the ugliest with that carbon frame, I do not know, I'm really confused.
