Looks good, cheers.

I got this exact case last week, only paid £2.64, free shipping and came with a screen protector that fitted perfectly.

Was gonna order from there too! but the 2-6wk delivery time put me off!

Yea fair enough, mine took just over a week to come, the wait isn't too bad if you've already got a case.
To be fair I'd of paid an extra couple of ££ to have it in a couple of days instead of risking a 6 week wait.
Great case though

Just wondering how much thickness do these casses add to the desire? Is it the same amount of thickness as the nexus one's case from mobilefun adds? Thanks. As i am looking for a thinner case as it needs to fit into my pdAir VX1 pouch.. :S The nexus one case adds to much to it (as i bought one from ebay)

it's probably a tiny bit thinner but not by much. its much better fitting than the nexus one case from Mobile Fun, it covers the edge around the screen it also feels generally nicer to hold.

For me it was the £99.99 price which put me off! (That's the original item, as mentioned in the first post)

I really don't think it is going to be any thinner than the nexus one specific cases.
The thinnest I have found are these snap on cases: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-Rubberi...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item51929403cc
I don't know whether it will fit in a pouch though.

Thanks I guess I'll have to go shopping with the phone in hand and see if a case fits the pouch. That's hard to do considering the phone isn't available here...maybe when I'm back on holiday in the UK I'll try and find a solution. Might get something similar to the zagg invisishield to protect the phone for know.

I've waded through what seems like 100 pages and I'm still no closer to getting anything! Seems I need a 1) thin film screen protector, 2) some sort of gel/silicone case to protect the phone from drop-damage when I'm using it and 3) a general purpose case/jacket to protect it from keys/drop damage/rain. But there's no way of knowing whether it'll fit into case 3 if it's in case 2! Sellers seem happy to advertise stuff as fitting the desire when buyers report that it doesn't, and you have the usual ebay sellers, typically in hong kong/china offering 6 week delivery times and no ability to return stuff for a refund if it turns out that you've got a crap one/it doesn't fit/isn't actually for the desire.
Does anyone have all 3 protections on their phone and who cares to share it with us (me)? And does anyone know the difference between these two items?

The first is a TPU case a sort of soft plastic like those flexible rulers you can buy, the second is a floppy silicone case.
Neither have a hole for the volume rocker you have to press through the case, ideally there should be a bump over the volume rocker to make it easy to press.

I went out brought the case the OP suggested and another case of amazon just to see the difference between them. the one from amazon hasn't arrived yet, however with regards to the ebay purchase the case arrived within two days of payment, so can't really knock the delivery time on this.
Its a snug fit, the phone doesn't move about within the case which is always reasuring. the case is reasonably thin, but does add a substantial weight and a thickness of about 3m to your phone. And the back of the case does pick up fingerprints quite easily, my old school ps3 doesn't pick up fingerprints quite as easily as this case does.
I would post photos of the case and the phone, but unforntunately my phone is my camera when whilst I'm at uni. I'll try to borrow a friends camera when I get both cases together to give you guys a little run through.

3 meters?!
In all seriousness, I got the one from eBay too and it's pretty good I'd say. It'll do for now, I'd prefer a more matt/siliconey feel but so I'll keep searching.

Just got one of these to allay my fears of breaking my phone. It does feel a lot chunkier and it's certainly not as sexy now. I might get used to it or find something else.

Hahaham we both knew I meant 3mm. However adding 3m to my phone would sure that if I dropped it, it wouldn't even reach the ground.

Got this Skin today...
Feels really good. Design is okay and it fits perfectly.
Got it for about 3pounds... ~4Euro...

Brought one here in oz, abs gold!!! Works a treat...

Toughguard skin just arrived

Just received this from mobilefun. Decided to replace their clear "nexus one" case with this. This one is much better and the same price.
Its a solid plastic cover that has a back and front section that clip together encasing the phone. All the buttons,etc are nicely cut out of the plastic.
I also like the way it protrudes over the front to protect the front. All in all a good purchase.

how much? :O
i just ordered one of those on ebay for about £2 lol

what one of those cheap rubber ones off ebay, this is much better than that rubbish lol

no, one of those plastic things that clip together over the phone, just like the one you linked

Well i`m not going to loose sleep over £8 difference.

Looks a nice case, but..... Those cheap rubber ones on E-Bay are a lot more resilient than the hard plastic ones. Speaking from experience the rubber cases, or more than likely the Gel ones, now absorb impact a lot better than hard plastic. My sons 3gs had a hard plastic shell on it, he dropped it from his top blazer pocket, and the screen shattered. I used to own a touch HD which was always in a cheap e-bay gel case, and must have dropped this 5-6 times with no ill effects! You can get some great cases on amazon very cheap:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0038A5AF4/ref=oss_product
This is the case I currently use and I'm very happy with it.
Also I use these screen protectors:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003JCUKGK/ref=oss_product
They have now gone up to £2.90 delivered for 5! and are very good quality. I bought them when they were 1p + £1.45 delivery.
Recently got 2 HTC genuine screen protectors from Play when they were £4.99 for the pair, and they are crap compared to the Amazon ones lol

Problem with those gel cases though... they feel horrible in your hand.
Had one on my HD2... couldn't stand using the thing, but then conversely didn't want to get it scratched.
But then... for me... it's more about scratch resistence than dropping it... I have insurance for that!

bought one just like this one last week. thought it was rubber as thatswhat it said. it broke before i could put it one. mad me think what it would be like if i actually got it on and dropped it.

Most of the cases on mobile fun can be found for about £2-£4 on ebay
I bought a great case from ebay for £2.64, quality wise its miles better than the mobile fun case I paid £10 for and it came with a fitting screen protector!
At the end of the day, they all are made in the same country most of them coming from them probably coming from the same manufacturer, just because you're paying £10 doesn't mean the quality is any better.
There plenty of tacky ones on ebay but these are easy enough to avoid.

Mesh Case Review

Hey all,
I ordered 2 of these last week from Hong Kong for me and my girlfriend.
This case is very nice looking and has several colours available.
It feels very well built and feels nice when holding it in your hand also adds a little more grip.
However this case is simply for style and will not protect your phone, it would maybe protect it from very light drops but your phone will not be protected from very high drops.
On the back of the phone there is a very nice gold Galaxy S logo which also looks great.
So guys don't buy this if you look for protection, instead only for style like me lol
I have included some pictures of it below to show you it and how it fits the phone .

i have the red one
the pictures are in the CASE topic

and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7269755&postcount=236

The green and the red ones are so sexy xD Too bad i'm too stingy to shell out for one, but i should have a cheaper case coming in the mail (taking it's time dammit...)

I just got the white one in the post today from Korea.
Verrrry happy with it.
I had one of those gel cases before as thats what I used on my HD2 and it was great on that phone but I really struggled with the side buttons on the Galaxy

Are these cases hard or soft? And how well do they fit? Will the phone fall out if I flip it upside down and hold onto the case only? Is it tight enough to where the plastics don't rub against each other and scratch the phone? Also, it looks like it stays put by gripping down on the chrome edges, like most cases for the Galaxy S. Is it safe to use the chrome edges as a latch for the case? Because my chrome edges squeak and feel loose in certain spots and I think they are simply just glued on and not adhered to the phone strongly. Also, how much better of a grip does it give the phone? Because the phone is quit slippery/oily as it is without a case.
And thanks for any replies.

Totally agree that this Mess case in very nice... and slim fit(perfect fit), I have a black one i ordered from Korea Im very satisfied with the case= just what i was looking for, a case that protect my phone from scratches and its very stylish.

1. Case is medium hard
2. Perfect fit
3. Phone will not fall out and i think you can get the scratch from something else not the case.. its tight
4. Offcourse it "can" scratch the chrome edges if you take it off all the time, but the case isnt so hard (kind of medium hard "rubberish" material
5 The grip is very good

Have to agree with this, tbh this is the best case I have had on any phones that I have owned.
Oh and btw it takes about 5-7 days for it to arrive from HK to the UK incase anyone wanted to know

Aaah shyt..
It's exactly 7days now.. and it's not arrived yet. I ordered the white one and I'm patiently waiting. And I'm in Asia...

I ordered the same one in red, so I am thankful, that it seems to be very decent!
I didn't order it for protection though... or against scratches... I ordered it because I hate the plasticy feel of the normal backcover :/

yes there is,Otterbox Commuter for galaxy s.
got it some time ago,i'm very satisfied with it,it has a double protection layer (hard plastic+gel) and it still looks slim. i like it 'cause it gives a nice rugged look to the sgs. tried a lot of other cases,hard cases,silicone gel,TPU..this one brings the best from all worlds imo.

for me.. little more grip it's good.. because with more grip, the pure silicone for example, it's annoying whe to put into the pocket...

[Review] Nillkin TPU-Case

Hello all,
Just wanted to share my experience with the Nillkin case (found on eBay, lots of sellers selling it). It comes in around $12 with free shipping. I got the clear black one.
It comes in a decent packaging, and it includes the case, screen protector, and a screen cleaning dongle.
The case itself is actually very nice. The back is actually a sandy/matte texture, and the side has grooves on it to enhance your grip on the phone. It doesn't add much dimensions to it, as it feels still relatively the same size as it is naked. It has openings for the headphone jack, USB port, camera/LED, mic, and speaker. The power button and volume controls doesn't have an opening, but you can still easily press on it with the outlined placement on the case. Speaking of this, I actually found that after putting on the case, it makes it easier for me to reach the power button to unlock the phone, as it increases the area you can use to push it. Also, it contours to the camera, so even if you rest it on its back, you will be resting on the case and not the hump from the camera.
The fit of the case is not perfect, as it is meant for the international version of the One X. It still fits...just some parts you will find it to off by a few millimeters, which is especially noticeable on the camera, and speaker, but good news, it doesn't block it. Other than that, its a very good fit, and doesn't attract too much lint in my pocket. Also, the case wraps around the front edges, so even when you put the phone face down, you will not be placing it on the screen (unlike the Nillkin hard-case).
The screen protector is a different story. I'm not sure if it came with the wrong one or not, but its very small, and doesn't cover the whole screen...at all. Its also a finger print magnet, and you would have to wipe it down a few times a week.
Overall, I'm happy with the case, but will probably replace the screen protector down the line with something else.

i have their hardshell case and i must say its one of the best cases Ive bought for any phone ive owned. Unfortunately , just like your TPU version , it is meant for the international one x so it doesnt fit perfectly. Its not awful but due to that I am using my diztronic case most of the time.

Can we get a big pic of the back just so we can see how opaque the material is please. Just want to see how strong the logo shows if at all. But thanks for the review.

Screen protectors are made smaller to fit curved displays
Most of the screen protectors for curved displays are cut smaller to prevent bubbles at the edges. This has been confirmed by the screen protection manufacturers in the world. Don't be surprise if you find they are smaller for HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S3, and other curved display phones.

Thanks for that back pic bluerex! I may just go for this one.
Hey i just looked at the top pics again of the screen protector! LOL!!!!! That thing is waaaaayyyyyy offff. That can't be right haha.

I too picked up a clear Nillkin TPU case for my AT&T HOX. I personally must say that it is BY FAR my favorite TPU case for the HOX so far. I am a major cell phone case whore too, btw. LOL
If this Nillkin case doesn't fit the AT&T HOX right I certainly can't tell. It looks perfectly fine to me. I especially like how it makes pressing the power button SO much easier than any other generic TPU case I've bought. It actually makes it SUPER EASY to press the power button whereas other TPU cases didn't seem to line up quite right making me have to try to press the power button more than 3+ times each time I lock or unlock it. After liking this case so much I went ahead & decided to order the Super Shield case as well as the hard plastic fashion case - both by Nillkin on eBay. Can't wait to try those out too!

How does it fit around the sides? The case I bought was very loose around the sides and made the volume rockers impossible to press. And the top wasn't contoured enough to press the power button easily.

The Nillkin case is actually once of higher quality cases that I have gotten from eBay. The fit is great as tech mentioned.
Tech: the screen protector u recieved, is it way too small for the screen as well?

I bought one myself on EBay and couldn't be happier. Excellent looks, fit and quality. It feels very nice in the hand as well. I don't think I'd ever switch to another case.

I actually ended up finding an even better clear TPU case on Amazon. It's pretty similar to the Nillkin but this one is made by Diztronic and it's on Amazon. It's got a matte finish on the back and cut outs for ALL the ports. Plus it's made specifically for the AT&T One X not the international one. Just Google 'Diztronic matte back TPU' and you should be able to find it on Amazon.

Saw that and it looks good! Only thing is I wish there were not cutouts for the volume and power. I'm not into that depression where the cutouts are when you reach for the buttons But I do like that it is actually made for the AT&T One X because I hate how the speaker and camera are off alignment on basically every other case.

Can i ask a question please? What is the difference between an international htc one x and a htc one x AT&T?
I have an htc one x with a quad-core processor and tegra 3 which is fully unlocked version, i want to know its version meaning if its international or not. I really love a tpu nillkin case. Please search this case on ebay :
Type ( Nillkin TPU Soft Cover Case +LCD Guard HTC One X LTE Endeavor Edge Supreme S720e ) from the ebay search bar. Want to know if this case is for the international htc one x or for the AT&T version.
Also I'm a bit confused about the HTC one x LTE version.
Please help me out. Many Thanks

Mercury Slim Fit TPU / Best Nexus 4 Case

First let me say I think this is the best overall case for the nexus 4 hands down and I ordered pretty much every other case off amazon. We would all love to use the nexus naked or with a bumper but we also know how fragile this phone is you probably break it or fear breaking it the whole time.
I say this case is the best for these reasons design, cost, and protection. First design, the main thing that stands out about this case it has hard edges when on case feels slick and firm. The whole case has a sparkle effect pretty cool. I absolutely love the white but the black is very nice also my gf loves it. The only flaw in design is probably the power and volume buttons are cut out and case does have a little thickness so can be hard to push buttons sometimes. This case does add to size but keeps nexus 4 shape exactly.
Cost was 5.21 plus 2 dollar shipping so that for me already puts it as number 1 since all others cost more. To me if you had to pick one case this would be it.
Protection to me cannot get any better than this. I don't know how but the case in your hand feels soft and bends like every other case but when on feels solid. Hard to put into words but I trust this case.
Now the only other cases that came close where the distronic (which is a little slimmer and buttons are not cut out. Also back is matte). I blazon was good to very similar to distronic minus the matte back. The mercury is just a tad thicker than these but you really don't feel it.
The other cases like the rearth to me is just a cheap piece of plastic not worth 10 bucks. There is a distronic hard shell that was pretty nice its like the rearth but done right. This would be my second choice if you really want ultra slim. Does not protect whole phone but good enough.
Here are some pics I took today this case is awesome. Comes in a ton of colors.

Kind of wished I bought a black one. The case is excellent.

Sweet the mercury pearl case is my all time fave on each phone I've owned that they make one for. I'm in for one. Does it push up on the screen protector and make it bubble?

Question, is the case a solid colour? or does it have sparkles/glitter like previous mercury tpu cases?
thanks

I zoomed the black one, it's got sparkles.
Hey none in ebay, it's usually where I get them from. Directly from korean vendors.. Where are these amazon I assume?

How thick is the case? Is the black case super shiny?

This one is not to thick but thicker than others on amazon just bit. But also this is the only one that keeps nexus 4 shape so it feels good in hand. Black is shiny not super though I suggest white as it has a gloss on it and does not get dirty. I'm two weeks on white still looks brand new and its been all over.
I'm not gonna lie I don't like the black but my gf does which good because I would not give her the white. All of them have a sparkle effect black shows it more.

Depends which one you have I have the Xtremeguard the one you have to use water to apply. If center it you should be fine. But this case goes over the edges well so I would not worry about it.

Thanks OP! Was waiting for this case to appear. I had these for my Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus; by far my favorite case.
Yeah, waiting for eBay sellers to sell them. Shipping to Canada is $9+....

Yea, I was afraid they all would have sparkles. This case seems to be made for girls. Does the white show that much sparkle?

There was some discrepancy between the shipping price on amazon vs the price stated on the Mercury storefront shipping information page. I emailed them about that and they quoted shipping for me in Ottawa at $7.35. They said they would refund me the $2.13 difference in shipping after the fact. :good: I know it's not too much, but it's good to know they're an honest customer-oriented company.

Is had these my macho man phones. Its more like "pearl" then sparkles or glittery.. No one but you knows or can really see it.

I'm really digging the white... The LGnex already has plenty of sparkle but oh well i guess

Would anyone with this case mind taking a picture of the micro-usb port area with the case on?
I have a bunch of 6 ft micro usb cables that I like to use because of the length. However, these cables have a lot of excess plastic around the connector so I'm just wondering if they'll be compatible or not.

How does the Mercury compare to the S-Line?

If I'm the kind of guy who drops his phone like, once a week, should I guess this. Trying to searh for the best option since I just ordered a nexus 4.
I currently have a samsung S2X with a Trident Aegis case that I really liek for protection and such.
Also, still not sure if I will put a screen protector. Is the Nexus 4 screen tough anough not to? Not a fan of the "rubery" feeling they give but its better than a scratched screen.

Got mine. Here's my opinion. It makes the n4 more fatty. I'm not a fan of the strange edges, preferred the smoother more rounded edges on my s3 and iphone4 versions. It's very front lippy, it pushes my skinomi skin and causes it to wrinkle/ bubble/ peel.
Good protection. Excellent quality and material. Cut out perfect. Nice hold/ grip. Great colors.
Took it off and put my nillkin back on.

Did I receive the same case? The Mercury tpu case I got for my Nexus4 looks nice, does add a little bit more bulk than the Diztronic, but one giant problem. It is slippery as hell. The gloss on it is not a sticky gloss, but more of a smooth slippy gloss. It won't stick to any surfaces, and IMO actually makes the phone a little more slippery to hold than when it's bare, since the entire case is made of this stuff. The only time it will be grippy is if your hands are slightly moist or hot enough to leave a steamy fingerprint lol. Not only that, the cutouts make the buttons very hard to press (due to the thickness of the case and shallow-ness of the buttons). The power button is actually kind of ok if you use your fingertip, but it's very hard to press the volume button.

Diztronic tpu owns that crap, u mad bro
