[Review] Plemo, ToTu ,Ankway Flip Circle Case, Terrapin TPU Clear,Legancy Vena Hybrid

Ok guys.. It's to bad that I had to purchase 5 cases before I found the right one. Maybe this will help someone who's looking for that right case.
Simple review... I'm basically looking for Grip, Protection, Fit, and Functionality. I've ordered all my cases from Amazon and prices very, however I've not spent over $12 for any one case.
If you are looking for something specific let me know.

I'll start with the best Vena Legancy. The grip is good, not the best , but it has a nice soft feel, the curve and fit in the case is perfect, the kickstand isn't cheap and works well, and the protection seem solid. The only con hard to get on and off. This also came with a screen protector that looked pretty good.

This circle case worked perfect, the grip and fit was good, the protection was there for a flip case. This case had a good tilt when you flipped it back on itself, kind of like a kickstand. The apps worked great, the wireless charging was slow. I just couldn't get into the circle apps. Getting it on and off was a job.

This was a slim TPU case, I liked the feel and fit. The grip was definitely there, the plastic edge was to hard, and I could see it starting to scratch the top where it wraps around and meets the glass, plus the protection just wasn't there for me and the area around the cam wasn't aggressive enough for me to feel like the lens wouldn't get scratched when laying flat.

This case had the best aggressive grip out of the bunch, the fit and feel was there. The cut out's were good however the hard plastic didn't fit around the hybrid part, nice and slim for a hybrid case. I liked the way it meet the screen protector, and I rolled with this case for months. I liked the protection all around. It was easy on and off. The outside of my lens on my cam got dented while using this case.

I saved the worst for last, I only paid $7 for this case and it got really good review on amazon. The plastic on this was cheap, the grip was just OK, the kickstand felt like it was going to break off, the protection and fit was good, but it took the curve out of the phone. If you need a belt clip, protection and want to get rid of the curve, then this is the case. One thing i did like about this case was the rubber was really soft.

Thanks for the reviews.

Thanks for the reviews. I've been looking at the Tudia Ultra Slim, Caseology Wavelength (more expensive), and also the Aomax Armor, but I didn't even know about the Vena Legacy with the kickstand. I think the kickstand can be a very useful feature, but it can't be a cheap piece of plastic that is just going to break off or dangle loosely. One of my old phones actually came with a separate little kickstand that I use still, but I am not sure it will work well with the curvature of the G4 backing (and I am looking at getting a G4 now). So you think the built-in kickstand is built to last? And the case maintains pretty good and comfortable grip?
Thanks again for the reviews

What case for the Nexus 5x ??

I haven't seen a general case thread, so I'd thought I'd float out the question. I've just seen a few reviews. I like the Nexus 5x since it is smaller than most phablets, but I also would like a slim case. Currently I have the black ringke slim which is nice, but a fingerprint magnet and no bump protection. I ordered a TPU which I might end up using since it at least offers some drop protection.
Trying to balance the size of the phone plus the case can be somewhat difficult. Plus a lot of cases out there are CLEAR which is probably the worst design as it yellows or shows scratches.....I've seen some that are decent which I would have bought had they been smoke, but generally I don't buy clear. I've considered running the phone naked too, but I just got it not too long ago and rather not do that at least until I've had it for some time and considering a replacement.

I am pretty happy with the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle. It looks nice and the grip is good. I have dropped my phone several times now on tile floor or asphalt without damaging it. This case probably won't protect from the worst falls as well as some of the heavy duty cases, but overall it's a good package.

I'm a fan of the Tudia slim cases and recently, the Diztronic slim
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I recently picked up the new Verus 5X case. The second version fixed all the flaws from the original, and looks very nice, very clean. Not bulky (probably the most important aspect to me), tactile buttons (also a major point personally), it has a slightly raised edge around the camera ring, and slides nicely into my pocket. I've dropped my phone numerous times from various heights onto carpet, concrete, and asphalt. So far the only damage it's sustained is a hairline crack in the tempered glass screen protector. And by hairline, I mean I only noticed when it caught the light a certain way one day. They are temporarily unavailable on Amazon, but can be found other places.

The Diztronic slim fit is a solid slim case that provides pretty good protection. Also like the Incipio dual pro which isn't slim bit doesn't add too much bulk and adds extra protection (military drop tested).

2nd on Versus case, it feels very premium and slim. Because the 5X feels cheap this case actually makes the phone look better and more expensive imo. Moderate protection as well.

Versus looks good, how thick is it ? I prefer to keep the Nexus logo hidden with a case so ppl look at it trying to figure out what phone I have and dont know. I got a cheap Chinese TPU one that is actually well-fitted and was only $5.00.

I'm using Ringke Fusion and i'm very satisfied with it

+1 on the Versus, doesn't add much to phone, looks good, gives some protection, makes a slippery phone easier to grip and hold.

I'm also using Ringke Fusion (Smoke) and found it very good. It gives excellent protection and doesn't look so bulky. The only issue I faced was the headphone pin getting blocked halfway by the case. One should apply force and press it hard to fit it properly.

[Review] Purfit Design Real Leather Wallet Case for Galaxy Note 8

The owner of purfit design, Emma Leuang, contacted for a review for their wallet case for Galaxy Note 8.
To be honest, i never thought it could this great before i receive it.
The wallet is made of genuine leather (cowhide), Unlike the regular leather, this leather is top grain, a little bit shinny than regular, but the leather smells so good.

If you are looking for a reasonably priced genuine leather wallet case , you might want to check out the this flip wallett. Crafted from what is described as Italianleather, this is undoubtedly a nicely made leather wallet case. It has two card slots and one clear identity card window, as well as a slide pocket for extra cards or cash, and it has a stand function as well. The money slot is a a little bit narrow, so it will secure your card without falling out.
The side magnetic closure works great, it has 2 part magnetic, will give your case a decent close without affect the S-Pen. ( I have tried several cases, the magnetic does make your S-Pen crazy)
Insertion and removal of yourphone is easy, due to the flexible TPU phone compartment. Like nearly all wallet cases of this type, it gets obese quite quickly when very many cards are put into its card slots and doesn’t close all that well, but as long as only a few cards are used, it still closes acceptably.
Overall, this is a nice option for a lower priced leather wallet case. It is currently available for $31 on Amazon and comes in both black and cognac. Many thanks to Emma and her child for sending this sample out to me to review.
BTW, she gives a portion of profit to American Cancer Society,

update, the glass screen protector works on it

wireless charging works too

That's a nice looking case. I've considered getting one like that, to keep something covering my phone when it's in my pocket. I need something to protect the screen and I've learned over the years that I completely suck at putting on screen protectors. I don't even try anymore. So one question I have is, do you think that there's any possibility that the cover could scratch the glass? Ideally I'd like something with a felt interior as I feel that would truly minimize the chances of scratching. I just don't seem to be able to find a decent case that has it.

get a whitestone shell

I was looking at a leather case like this and then I remember the corner drop problem. no protection. I would love a leather case like this if I could take the Note 8 with UAG Monarch installed and then take the Note 8 with the Monarch and put it in a leather case. Best of both worlds.

Not very good advice for someone who admittedly is bad at putting on screen protectors. The Whitestone installation is ridiculously complicated to do right the first time and for 50 bucks they should throw 2 pieces of glass in there. It's the biggest huckle going that people are promoting the Whitestone protectors. They also have horrible CS should you need them.

So I went Amazon shopping and wanted to give some feedback on what I found to be good, bad and indifferent.

The Samsung silver case is from my pre order credit and came from Samsung.com.
My initial response, you kinda get what you pay for.
My favorite among all them is the UAG case and that is what I am using as my daily case.
I chose this because it was smaller than any of the other cases which gave what I consider 'great' protection both on the sides and front and back.
The Ringke comes in second as the best value.
The Poetic is just too large, you will see in the photos it is the largest of them all, but it is the only one that comes with a screen protector which was kinda nice.
The Armadillotek is a great option, but since the phone is already so large in my hand - the UAG was a tad smaller and felt more comfortable.
The Samsung case lacks the raised edges I would like to see in drop protection on the front.
The Anemat also lacked raised edges for safety.
Lined them up on edge to show heigh of all units, the Poetic and Armidillo are the tallest.
Side grips are nice, the phone is large and anything to keep in settled in my hand was a bonus.
I guess for a 1300 phone I had to bite the bullet and get a 50 dollar case, vs the 10 and 20 dollar options.
I did like the ArmidilloTek for the few days I used it, but the UAG just ended up being more comfortable for me personally.
Not sure this will help anyone, but it does, I hope I saved you having to return stuff back to Amazon
I plan to put on the gel UV glass screen protector sometime next week, I just left the stock protector on for the time being.
Love the phone though and the promo with TMO really made it a no brainer.

I also settled for the UAG Monarch, it's a premium but it's better than the imitators.

I choose ArmadilloTek because of the front cover.
I like the paint on Monarch tho

Nice, thanks for this review.

the orange case looks neat

I'm currently switching between UAG Monarch (same color as OP) and Samsung's Black Leather Cover, and I'm glad about my choices. Sometimes if I want that my S21U should feel more bulky I go with UAG, other time if I want to have more elegant and slick cover I'm using the leather one.

too pricy here in TX

I just ordered a UAG Monarch tonight as I've just gotten my phone today. Verizon wants $70,so I got it directly from UAG for under $35. Tried it and it feels really good in the hand. Bought the S21U with a techarmor case and there is barely any protection for rear camera. Pelican also feels really good in the hand but also no real camera protection

Accessories DIY magnetic S-pen holder

I've been looking for a phone casing with a S-pen holder but have not manage to find one that is minimalistic, slim and comes with a holder that doesn't add much to the overall width of the phone. So I decided to make a holder out of 48 pieces of block magnets (5mm x 2mm x 1mm) and I stick them to the phone casing and S-pen using double sided tapes.
Things to note :
1) The magnets should be strong but not too strong to cause issues with the screen.
2) Magnets should not be too near to the tip of S-pen to cause issues with the pen.
3) Double sided tapes must be strong enough to hold the magnets to prevent it from detaching from the Pen/Casing. Super glue may be better in this case.
Hope the above helps for anyone that is looking for a similar solution.

I advise against super glue as it only binds plastic to plastic. Initially it gives the impression that it works with other materials but after a while it fails catastrophically.

The dual sided tape is pretty thin so thats good. If however is starts falling, you should consider an alternative glue, NOT super glue.
Otherwise, acceptable creation.

Why so crazy ideas boys? Just buy Nillkin Aoge Leather Case : 12 USD on Aliexpress + Pen from Note 8 (black version) which suits this case much, much better than the latest Samsung pen (and is way cheaper ofc). Case quality is really good. It holds the phone perfectly well, there are no problems with the screen protectors. It also protects camera section. Leather is also good quality. And it looks expensive I do reccomend it. I have bought 2 pcs just in case.

What's the inside look like?is it hard plastic? Or TPU type of material?

The frame is made from TPU (I think 2mm thick) - something between elastic TPU and a hard plastic. Back is from plastic, covered by leather.

Very nice ! Congrats. I do reccomend also an alloy/metal cover for camera section (without glass). It protects from scratches. I did not buy it earlier and now have some of them. Why without the glass? It does not produce reflections
