Best, case, ever. This thing is a beast... Loving it, very good protection, and honestly its not a whole lot more bulky than a commuter.
How do you guys like it compared to the seido active x?
I've never seen one irl, but i don't like the way they look from the pictures
Have you noticed that the built in screen protector doesnt fit flush on the screen resulting in the screen not registering a selection sometimes?

yup and you have to push down hard to get it to register. might take it back and get the impact case.

i actually did the oppisite. I returned my impact for a defender, even with the screen problem i still like the defender better. i dont like the feel of the impact and i think the volume/power buttons are more difficult to hit with the impact. im prolly just going to remove the built in screen protector.
My screen protector doesn't sit flush but I notice no issues with sensitivity.

Superclean 2.4 voodoo.. Thanks devs!!
Just wanted to share this story .. 100% true . Was out drinking last night... Was leaving a spot in my buddys jeep and forgot my phone was on the hood still .. We run over it, then the honda behind us runs over it. I get out prepared for heart break ...... The phone is absolutely perfect still. I know what you're thinking , how is that possible... I dunno, devine intervention maybe haha . All I know is that this case plus zag shield = indestructible.
I'm not one to embellish stories... Just thought I would let you know the otter box thing isn't all hype.
Edit: jumped the gun. I have the commuter case... So take that for what its worth haha its even cheaper . So I can only imagine this ones magic powers

do you have a second screen protector on yours?
I think that may be my problem, i have my own screen protector attached to the screen and then this one on top of it..
I have a film style screenprotector as well
whats the difference between the commuter and the defender ..I have the commuter and I had the impact and hated it
i am going to get a new case now and what should i get the commuter or defender everyone seems to hate the impact
I recently got the defender..... way to big and the sylicon shell always pops off on the sides. I got it for 30 on Amazon so I couldn't resist, but Im sending it back Monday and having it replaced with the impact case
sent from my fascinating fascinate eating delicious froyo.
I need a new case with a kickstand (i watch a lot of movies on planes) and a belt fastener. Anyone have a good one that works? Sorry if this is the wrong place.
The otterbox defender comes with a holster that u can lock the belt clip open and use it as a kickstand. Its really big though.
sent from my fascinating fascinate eating delicious froyo.
I just ordered the impact. Why does everyone seem to hate it so? Looks cool in the pics.. I don't need much protection as the phone is normally in my hand or next to my pillow poised to wake me up and be in my hand again haha
Sorry is this for the samsung fascinate?
in samsung fascinate section, in fascinate accessorries...yes..its for the samsung fascinate..
EDIT: Im an ass
I ordered the commuter case from amazon ($23) and realtek screen protectors day after getting my phone and they've been great the couple months I've had it. I was going to get the impact but after reading all reviews about it being a lint magnet I changed my mind. I'm glad I did, just the little bit of silicon exposed on the commuter attracks lint enough that every few days it needs a good wipe down.

tell him to get an otterbox, they are amazing, i just got one yesterday and love it
I've become a big fan of bestskinsever.com --same product as Zagg Invisible Shields, but instead of $30 you'll pay like $8....ships in a plain white envelope, and you have to provide your own baby-shampoo / water solution instead of a little spray bottle like comes with zagg, but I can't tell a difference in the product. I've used it on my Touch Pro 2, Moment, and hero, and have been very happy. I can't even tell it has a skin on it, and it's durable as all get-out. I just ordered my mesmerize today, and plan to get a skin for it ASAP. Though I've heard the screens on these things are pretty durable in their own right. anyway just my $0.02, keep the change
I use xtremeguard and it is the same as zagg and is like 5 bucls on amazon for the phone but I do construction and have the otterbox defender it has a built In,screen,protector
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I'm, 50/50 on staying away from Zagg, even though they are probably the most durable protectors out there. On one hand, a properly installed InvisibleShield doesn't distort images on the screen or cause any real image quality problems. On the other hand they really hamper the responsiveness of the touchscreen until they're 'broken in' for a month or so. The slightly tacky surface slows down typing via Swype quite a bit at first. Once that initial tacky feeling wears off (or you get used to it) the Zagg is a great first-line of protection for the screen.

... and that's my primary beef with 'em. I guess I've just never been patient enough to let it break in. I'm running my Mez naked with a shell on the back that sorta protects the corners of the phone. (Have dropped it twice with no ill effects.) But I make a point not to put my keys in the same pocket, etc. The stock glass is pretty durable. At this rate no noticeable wear after 3 months of regular use. I figure if something ever happens it's probably gonna be bad enough that a thin skin on the screen isn't going to help much.
I use the stock Fascinate case from Verizon for protection and to add bulk so it doesn't slip from my hands.
I was under the impression that the Galaxy S phones all used Gorrilla glass which is highly durable.
I was wondering... I had my phone without a case for the first month and it still looked perfectly new by the time my case came in. Does anyone else have a case on their phone?
If so, what case do you use? I know there's already a cases thread, but this is different. Thanks!
i use a dhd otterbox defender.its awesome cause i work construction and its saved my phone a few times
I do use a case, but I dont like big bulky cases nor do i like wearing a clip on my belt.
I got one of those cheapy TPU cases on ebay. Gives enough protection from minor bumps and scratches, but I doubt it provides any shock protection like the otterboxs or casemate models.
i use the bodyglove mirage tpu case. i like it, not too bulky. only problem is i noticed that it effects my GPS signal. dosnt stop it completely. but in my house, with the case ON, i cant get a lock better than about 35 feet. with the case OFF, it will drop down to 16 feet. while it dosnt make GPS unusable, it def makes it less accurate. driving, i noticed with the case on, maps will say accurate to 10 meters, if i take the case off, it immediatley drops to 3 meters. meh, i dont honestly use GPS that much, so i figure if i need to i will just take the case off.
I use a case for the peace of mind of not worrying about scratches. Phone is already big enough, so the thinnest possible case is sufficient for me. I use the Case-Mate Barely There in black matte.
Case Mate Tough for me. The one for the Inspire, of course. It's a solid case with a good look to it. Might take a look at it. But no screen protector yet. They are always sold out.
Sent via my Inspire 4G using XDA App
barely there case from case-mate I hate big bulky cases
I use the Platinum Hard Case/Holder. They look and work like the Seidio. Worked well when I had the Captivate.
Just wanted to chime in to say that the metal that the Inspire is made out of seems to be very scratch resistant. I leaned up against a metal cooler's edge at work (The very corner) and my phone was in a belt clip holster. I leaned with about half my body weight before i realized it was right on my phone, and when i backed away i saw a long white mark on the back of my phone and i thought the worst. I rubbed it a little bit with my thumb and it went away immediately, im not quite sure how or why but there was no mark at all!
This is the nicest phone I've owned... Having it wrapped in a DHD Otterbox Defender is great for peace of mind.
Great slim case...

Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
using a case similar to the barely-there model, purchased from ebay. so far it's holding up well.
I had a case and returned it. Too bulky. Now I have a full body skin on it. Will it protect the phone from a drop? Probably not. Best not to drop it
Odds are I'll sell this phone in a year or two when the next latest and greatest is available.
Thanks everyone for the replies! I just wanna say... I took my phone out of its case for a day (CaseMate Barely There), and my friend drops it while playing a game. There's now a scratch on it (it fell on the floor of a workshop).
Also, regarding a comment I saw about what the phone is made out of; you mentioned that there was a white line on it that made you think it was scratched. Boy, that's happened to me so many times! I always get scared, but I'm surprised at how tough the phone is. But this time the mark is permanent, so don't always depend on the toughness of the phone... I'm putting the case back on right now. Never taking it off again
Again, thanks for the replies. I'm with most of you in saying that the phone is already big enough as it is; that's why I got the Barely There, because I didn't want anything making the phone too much bigger.
Pt Series Case
I work at BB and picked up my Inspire 4G yesterday, so far I've used it in the Pt Series Case from BB. I got it really cheap and it isn't half bad. I will be keeping a case on my Inspire because I ran my Nexus One out of a case for upwards of 6 months, and I dropped while it was in the slip skin and it nicked the top of it. My dad has my N1 now, and is using a Case-Mate tough case. I plan on picking up the DHD version to try out for my Inspire next paycheck!
Oh and the little belt clip is a nice feature!
I've long gotten over the worries of scratching my cases. I can see the use of an otterbox for those who worry about drops, but it's like sweating the first scratch you get on a new car. It's gonna happen. I don't really care about resale of my phone, I usually just pass it down for cheap to a friend in need (who hasn't upgraded in like 2 years) and they are more than happy to accept it as is. I can't imagine the folks with OCD bad enough to pamper their phone so much it never gets any wear. There's no enjoyment in technology that way!
I personally go for a screen protector film and a thin/light back side case that allows for the best access to top/side buttons.

I used to have an InvisibleShield for my Samsung Captivate, but I didn't like it for many reasons.
One of the reasons was that I'm big into photography. Whatever Zagg used to make the screen protector stick greatly deteriorates the quality of the screen, and it bothered me.
Also, it makes the screen a lot more rubberized than most screen protectors. A lot of people say that the texture bothers them, but I think that's bullcrap... I can see the textured difference, but can't feel it and don't really care. On the other hand, the fact that my screen feels like sticky rubber bothers me.
Anyway, I try to steer clear of Zagg stuff now. I will recommend it though, if that makes sense. It's 100% quality stuff, and does stand up to its claims in protection. But I have my own personal reasons for not wanting to use it myself.
Finally fascinate owners get this case. Check it out here, if you are looking for something really thin to give you a different feel on the phone.

My thoughts exactly. While I truly appreciate the company inventing a $24.99 case to protect my $6.99 battery cover..... Slightly feel like I am getting ripped off.
Now if the company made a couple of the Iphone 4 cases for the fascinate.... I might be more inclined to purchase one.... namely this big grizzly bear -> http://www.myincipio.com/iPhone-4-Cases-Accessories/Incipio-iPhone-4-EDGE-Hard-Shell-Slider-Case.asp
Yeah, thats the way the case should have been.
here
if thats what your looking for seidio makes a case just like that one. www.seidioonline.com
I have that case but the build quality leaves something to be desired and its thick, enough to make it a noticeable difference to the profile of the phone.
I was looking at this case as a phone that will provide some protection without adding too much bulk. I do have one concern if anyone can answer. I use the OEM car mount and was wondering if the phone would still fit with the case on. It would be super annoying to have to take the case off every time I mount it, which is multiple times a day.

I really don't think screen protection is that big of a deal seeing as I'm pretty sure our phones have Gorilla Glass screens
Gorilla glass doesn't protect from drops, only scratches. Also, if the phone falls on it's face, it's better to have something absorb the shock other than the phone's body

The monkey goods really help though. Have you seen any torture tests for it? Theres one where a guy drops the phone flat on its glass screen on concrete 5 times from 5 feet up and nothing happens. On the 6th or 7th time and at about 6.5 or 7ft up in the air it finally breaks. So were pretty guarded. I would get this case for sure if it came in white.
Just picked up this case this week. I have been looking for a slim snap on case since i will take it off for use in my dock. It fits the phone great and gives it nice protection to the back with out adding really any girth to it.
Thanks for the find. I will try to take some pics tomorrow and get them up.
I purchased one and periodically I'd take off the case to showcase the phone's build quality because my friends were curious and today I noticed after owning and using the case for about 2 weeks that it leaves scratches all around the metal band. So now the entire front metal band on my phone is completely scratched up because of this case. So please stay away from this case and save your money for something better.
Well since you started. Ill continue.
The fusion one i got is warped at the bottom where charge port goes.
It fits well everywhere else except there. Im not gona damage my charge port because i have to force a charger in there due to the case firment issues.
Its very slippery and either i have oily fingers or the back of the case has an oil leak like my car.
The one i wanted to check out was the fusion max protect? Something like that.
But the tech21 looks like will get my monies once its available to other vendors

I've been doing some more research and apparently it's not the case but more of small particles of debris rubbing on the soft aluminum finish. So it's not really more of the cases fault and more it happening eventually from any case. either way still disappointing because my entire front looks beat. Oh well i'll learn to live with it.
people dont know how to take the case off so they mess up the phone and blame the case...pretty sure u are takin the case off wrong...if you buy a rinke...and rake it off like a tpu case...its gonna scratch!!!! ...its hard plastic ..raking it off will make it hold even tighter!

Educate the public on how to remove a case then...
I also purchased this case and in 2 days it has scuffed up the sides as well.
As others have said, how do you take off a RingKe case without messing up your phone?
I personally went with Seidio and glad I did. Almost brought a ringke but I'm glad I didn't. Wouldn't have known how to properly remove it. I recommend the OP leave the tittle the way it is. Even if it is the OP using it wrong, word needs to get out that these type of cases need a special touch on them or they ruin the look of your device.
its going to happen with other cases as well

Glad I got my body glove satin case, I often take it out to show friends and not one scratch on white note 4
this is true mine has scraches whenever i remove the case and i dont remove it ofter
TPU is fine, stay away from the polycarbonate cases
Yikes, I'm sorry your phone got scratched up. I have the same case in SF Black and I remove it to switch batteries every night. So far, not a single scratch from it, maybe I'm lucky. I know it's weird, , but maybe it's the way you remove it? I usually turn my phone upside down and use my nail to expand the corner outward, before moving to the top (now bottom) part of the case to do the same.
As others have mentioned, be wary of dust and other particles that may get between the case and the bezels. I always give a quick blow into the case and a wipe with microfiber before placing my (also wiped down) phone back into it.
It sucks that it scratched your phone, but I can't say I've had the same experience, this is my favorite and go-to case for my Note 4.

I got the clear Ringke and have been using it over the weekend and it seemed ok. I haven't taken it on and off alot though. I wonder how the tpu is scratching it? I also saw a review of the same thing for the spigen clear case so I ordered one to see what was up. Do you have the white or black note 4? Could we see some pics please?
I also have the iBlason clear off amazon and it seems to be ok.

Also, after examining the edge of the ringke and the iBlason, the edge seems very sharp and I think this is what is causing the scratches. I am going to try and chamfer the sharp edge and see what happens. I think some emery cloth and a little patience will go a long way.
Hi
Is someone so kind to explain the differences between case materials? Tpu, silicon, policarbon,gel, ...?
Is tpu the same as silicon?

I don't think it's the cases, I think its the environment. Dusty or sandy environments I believe contribute to the scratching. Particles get between the case and the phone etc. Thats why people have such different experiences with the same cases. Ultimately I hope Samsung comes up with a better exterior design that avoids the soft exposed metal trim. I personally would have preferred the black paint all the way around as it has been far more durable for me. My wife will be going with the S6 when it comes out but only if they do away with the current metal trim thats on the Note 4.
Anyone been using this phone "naked" ie. no case? How has the back of the phone held up? Is it scratch prone? And I mean in a hoodie or pants pocket not letting it slide across the floor or be in a pocket with coin/keys.
Any opinions? News?

I do. Naked for the last month (on Sapphire Blue that I am selling now because I got Solar Red). No scratches at all.. But it is always in pocket alone (no coins/keys) and pretty careful about where I place it.
Gorilla Glass 5 is pretty scratch resistant, but I'd suggest to prepare your heart for some unexpected scratches even if you take good care of your device if you plan to use it naked. Micro scratches are somewhat inevitable from day to day usage.. its not the big item (keys, coins) that cause scratches, its the tiny ones (sand) and hard particles. IMO, the best bet for a naked phone to remain scratch free is to use it with a dedicated pouch.
I will be going naked soon once my skinomi full skin arrives
I received a review unit last month, and it's definitely can be scratched. By judging the scratches, I can tell it's because of the camera bump, so that on the back, there's a tiny area touches the surface (on a desk or some furnitures). Make sure the surface is clean, otherwise some dust/sand will scratch it pretty hard.
My own unit I always put a case on.

Oh. I'm sure can be scratched. It's been naked for the last 3 days since every case seems to take the red shine away and make it appear pinkish. I've been investigating clear skins but I'm not sure it won't have the same effect AND be stuck to it and hard to remove. We'll see how it goes.

Got the Seidio Optik today in the mail and it screws with the colors/coating and again makes it look like its painted with Pepto Bismol. I was thinking about trying the Ultra Clear Phantom skin but I'm seriously apprehensive about it doing the same thing and it would be stuck to the phone. It would be a one shot maybe. I guess I'll just keep looking. :/

Received my Skinomi skin yesterday. It takes time to apply and need patience. Bubbles disappeared overnight (i installed late evening). It doesn't hide the shine of Solar red at all plus the skin on sides make the phone non-slippery. But with greasy fingers, you will be constantly wiping the skin with a cloth or your shirt I will give it 4 out of 5.

Excellent. The folks at Phantom Skins said the same thing about their Ultra Clear skin. So now we have 2 choices.
I just want something to prevent scratching. I'm not in the habit of dropping my phones so the uber protection from a case isn't foremost on my mind. I just don't want to scratch the shiny surface.
Thanks!
Can a sleeve like this one https://smile.amazon.com/fitBAG-tai...qid=1500675015&sr=8-10&keywords=HTC+U11+pouch be enough to prevent scratches? What do you guys think? Should I use a full body coverage instead? And what's this hydrogel films, is it some kind of poly-carbonate? I'm saving right now to get the U11, and this is one of my main concerns after using metal phones for years

Should I use a full body coverage instead? And what's this hydrogel films, is it some kind of poly-carbonate? I'm saving right now to get the U11, and this is one of my main concerns after using metal phones for years

I think the sleeve would work fine. I'm probably going with the ultra clear skin as I'm really only worried about scratches. I've had a lot of phones and not one have I caused the screen to crack on. This could be a first but I'm going to try to keep up my streak.
I got the Lightning Knight clear case today in the mail. It's the best of the 4. It doesn't totally make the red into pink and there is still some red to gold in sunlight. It's a TPU case so the same drill.
I'm satisfied with this for now. I'll probably end up with a skin sooner than later but this will do for now .. for $7. Why not.
