Questions in the title, here are the cases: http://www.ebay.com/itm/5x-Soft-Cry...583540?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35b3aad334. They look pretty good and the seller has got very good feedback, what do you guys think? I mean, there isn't that much you could do wrong with gel cases (I mean in terms of manufacturing ...), right? So has anyone tried these out or any similar ones and wants to share his thoughts?
Thanks in advance
I bought one just like theese cases, but never delivered to me.
The 'soft crystal', or TPU, cases are great. I usually buy mine from amazon or ebay. Optimus V and S cases are the same. Make sure that you get one that has all the proper cut-outs (the ebay link above doesn't have the hole for the speaker next to the camera).
this is better
AMZER TPU
I have those. Cheap and sturdy. Good everyday use. I also use a leather case whenever I'm in the office.
They look cool, i own one ;D

I have heard issues about some of these gel cases leaving residue on the phone and rubbing the paint off. Some of these issues have been brought up in other threads so just make sure you do your research before you select your case!
They look kinda cheap imo...
I'm sure they work well.
5 for $8? must be pretty cheap.
My boyfriend had a tpu case for his v. I loved it compared to my silicone case. It's alot sturdier than silicone, mine ripped easy. He had a problem with the phone overheating while the case was on though, but he worked outside and I think that was the main issue there. It's a great alternative to silicone and plastic cases which tear or break easily.

I have a robber one and works just fine... quite ugly tough
I have the same case and it's only OK...makes the phone thick and it's not very soft.
And dang, I paid 3.50$ for it
Also if you keep the phone in your pocket, while taking it out the case usually slips off and over time loses shape
try Amazer
http://rootedoptimus.blogspot.com/2012/02/amazer-lg-accessories_25.html
try Amazer I am currently using theirs, it perfectly fits and even cool
I ordered one last week
I usually prefer the hard cases aside from the gel ones. But those ones look pretty good for what you want.

Or you can use no case, just be careful (or don't, my lg felt like 10 times and it has only 2 scratches)
I also bought one of these.
Cheap and quite good as well.
But not as good as Amzer though.
thumbs up
these are good but i use amzer

From what I've read its one of the best cases you can buy, I don't use it because it makes your phone as big as a HTC G1/Dream. I do use the Case-mate Barely There chrome snap-on case and from what I have personally found out is that they make the highest quality cases that I have bought for my Nexus One.
-------------------------------------
Sent from my Nexus One
I have it, I'm using it. I love it It's absolutely the best you can buy with the price, free shipping, good customer service. IMO, It doesn't significantly make your phone bigger or bulkier. It feels like a solid rock
I use this case as well as the new Otterbox Commuter case and they are both very good quality cases. I believe that the Otterbox offers a little more protection and feels better and is easier to pull out of your pocket but all in all, this is a good sturdy case! I do like the fact that you have different color options whereas the Otterbox does not yet...
Thanks for the reply guys!
I also like the chrome one here: http://www.case-mate.com/Google-Cases/Case-Mate-Google-Nexus-One-Barely-There-Cases.asp
It looks nice and less expensive, might get that instead.
I just got the Tough Case like 3 days ago. It is amazing! I don't think it makes the the phone that much larger, I actually like the texture and sturdiness of the case, its pretty smooth.
Had mine just over a week, love it. Good fit, good feel, free decent screen protector.

Tough Case, if you do a quick search I've put up a picture of my pink/black one.
case mate Tough Case is the best so far. i have two buddy's at work and they have different ones that cost them about 8 bucks ,and they ask me were to get it and i told them . ever since i had it i don't have any problem and trust me i recommended to every one...
I was in the market for some cases too for my wife who tends to just sort of abuse her phone (just throws the phone in her purse and cup holders) so I decided to get the tough case for both our phones and glad I did...its solid and well made. The holes match up perfectly and the silicone and abs are snug to each other.
Photos are Pink/Black and Black/Gray
Just ordered this case off of Case-Mate
http://www.case-mate.com/Google-Cases/Case-Mate-Google-Nexus-One-ID-Credit-Card-Cases.asp
Will tell you how I like it and post pictures if you guys want when I get it.

lookin good crxtasi! when can i get my barely there?
I have a casemate gelli, it's pretty awesome. Very snug, minimal bulk, and looks great. Sure not as much protection as some other cases, but certainly increases the drop protection.

I've had this case since it was released for the N1 and love it....never have to carry my wallet around with me anymore
Well it should be here in a couple of days. I really need to get a case on my N1! And I like the added feature of the card holder, in this day and age all you need is a 20. Dollar bill I'd and debit/ credit card

Looks good. I prefer innocase 2 by seidio. Very happy with mine and well worth the money IMHO. it looks more streamline than the pics ive seen on this thread.
The problem with the barely there case is the lack of protection on the bottom and top of the phone. That is where I got 90% of the scratches on my g1.
(see below)
i have the Barely There Case
for my N1
and i love it
especially because i wear skinny jeans and it fits on my front pocket perfectly
lol
all other cases made the N1 feel like i was still trying to rape my pocket with my old myTouch lol
So I need help deciding on a case for my G2. I've seen many, but not in person. I'd like it to be cheaper end as well. I've looked at Otterbox's they seem sweet, but just not for me. I also wanted to get your guy opinions on this because I would like it to be as thin as possible when on my G2. Preferably Black or Clear. But if there is one that is like Carbon fiber feeling, Like Chromatics, I'd love to see it.
Please recommend one
There is plenty of info and pics you are looking for in this section of this forum. You just have to kinda search for it heh.
I personally have tried this Resin dark transparant and normal transparant
http://img.cbcdn.net/products/113117/111842.jpg
http://img.cbcdn.net/products/113126/adapt-resin-case-transparant-h.jpg
And altho they are thin and goodlooking it's not what I was looking for.
I also don't really like the fact that it clips around your phone. You can see it on the second picture. It is a small clip that holds the case to the phone parts. And you wouldnt really notice the tiny small gap between the top and keyboard part of the phone but it does and to me it just doesnt feel fine. It annoys me
What I personally am going for is the chromatics carbon fiber skin and a leather case. The carbon skin is just for style and protects it from scratches and the leather case is for overall protection (I hope).
Good luck with your choice! If my choice was to be a hard case I would definately pick the Otterbox. It just looks awesome and is known for good protection. Getting a cheap case is nice but also think about your phone. If u have to pay a little more for better protection, why not right. Longterm wise it's just better imo.
I personally ordered the purple case from the ebay seller "hi-boao", if you go to their shop and search HTC Desire Z you can find their cases. (Sorry just joined, can't post links ^-^;; )
I haven't received it yet, so I can't tell you how good they are, but I like the look of the cases, they're cheap, and come with a screen protector.
Goodluck finding one to your liking, I suggest looking around ebay, there's quite a few on there on the lower price range
Have the same kind of case for my G2 but clear smoke. Gives it a nice tint. Only cost $3.27

Well the resin looks ok. The stuff you described drives me away from it, as you stated xD I have been active around the accessories forum lately. And I just didn't see any cases I thought fit my requirements. The otterbox just seems a tad bit bulky and 35$ sum dollars is a lot to pay for a case. I'll probably scramble around some more. I mean chromatics is sweet... I just wish it was a case. Does otterbox or anycompany make cases that have that carbon fiber feek?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Well, i have seen some carbon fiber cases on ebay, for desire z. Cant find them right now..ill try it another time today.
Did you look at the case in the "Nice inexpensive G2 case" thread? It's black, fairly thin, and has a rubberized feel to it. Plus, it's only a couple of bucks so not a big loss if you end up not liking it...
I googled it real quick and found some hits here for carbon cases.

I know there are cheaper ones on ebay. It's just that I dont like searching stuff on ebay hehe.
Yeah I did check the cheap case thread too. Didn't look to get my taste. The wirelessplayground case looks pretty sweet. I'm not a fan of leather so that was going to work out. I wish the third on was a different carbon fiber though I think I may go with the clear kickstand case I saw. Is that thin?

Have a couple of these for my phone. They actually work very well and fit nicely. My phone came with one and I decided to buy another. Nice thig is the more you buy the more color combinations you can come up with. Here are a few pictures. To fin just type (Samsung i727 hybrid) into ebay and search through all the different colors. Not bad for under $10

Cool idea mixing n matching. My girl has one of these on her skyrocket. Good case indeed for the price.
I've seen them, but didn't give them too much thought because they seemed "cheap" in the sense of net being very good. Thanks for the real world update! :good:
I have been looking around for a good case, i had the otter box and its a great case but hard to get in and out of your pocket..... does the rubber on this case make it dificult to slide in and out of your pocket?
I recommend everyone take a look at the Ballistic Case line. I haven't found anything with this much protection. Check the Nexus S variant on Amazon for awesome reviews. TPU backing makes sliding in and out of your pocket a breeze.
The rubber corners that go a bit in front of the screen are without a doubt the best protection I've ever come across. No worries at all about any future drops, the extra few mm of bulk are worth it without a doubt.

I havent found any issues at all going in and out of my pocket. Being the skyrocket is very light (compared to my htc vivid) i would think that drops with this case would be more than effective at protecting it. This combined with a good screen guard is pretty good. Once and a while if you take your phone out of your pocket quickly you will notice the rubber on one of the corners might start to come off but it happens very rarely and its easy to pop the phone back in. I never liked the silicone cases but with this having the solid support that wraps around on all 4 sides it works very well. It also protects to hard keys on the sides and both the charging port and headphone jack. I like it better than the speck case i had for my vivid.
I am very anal about what I buy to protect my devices and I am inpressed with these. I will be buying one every payday until I have all the different colors that I want. I think I paid 7.99 with free shipping and had it here in 3 buisness days. Don't get me wrong though if you are very tough on your phone then I would recommend the Otter Box, Speck Candy shell or the Casemate Tough Series. But for most people these are more than satisfactory. Th rubber on the corners are pretty tough like that of the balistic cases. The case is just thick enough to keep the sensitive homekeys on the bottom from touching your face during a call.

I heavily disagree about Ballistic brand cases being easy to take in and out of pockets....my gf has one for her I727 and it's impossible to take in and out of pockets, puraes, etc.
That being said, that case has survived quite a few nasty falls. The protection is the best I've seen.

I just ordered mine from ebay, but since this case seems to be really thick, what kind of belt pouch holster do you recommend, I guess the one I use actually will not fit?

Perhaps. The in/out of pocket is really a relative opinion unfortunately since some consider any resistance a huge annoyance. I can see the corners being an issue though, especially if you like to keep the phone in front Jean pockets.

To be honest I'm not sure which will fit. I had the otter box and the pt case combo for my inspire and I didn't like either one. Just gets in my way a lot. I like having it in my pocket anyways. Feels safer that way. If you do find one that fits could you please share for other members that like the combo.
They are on Amazon for 7.00 + 3.00 shipping.

Is there a built-in screen protector on any of these cases? Some of the descriptions are unclear, and a built-in would be nice. Having to adhere one to the screen makes my Otterbox Defender unusable, as it would peel the protector off every time.
My mom bought one of these off ebay for her Galaxy S2 and she really liked it. I was considering one for my Skyrocket, but I ended up getting a standard silicone case. I've always had problems with my phone sticking in my pocket. This hybrid case was easier to get in and out of pockets but the rubber parts on the corner did stick a little. After a couple of months, though, I noticed that the plastic part of this hybrid case had cracked in several areas. I'm not sure how it got cracked, because she hasn't dropped the phone or anything. If anyone is interested I can try to post pictures, assuming I can find where she put the damaged case.
I'd definitely be interested in seeing that. I took my Defender off last night (found it was causing some heat issues with ICS) and put a Zagg screen protector on, which more or less rules out the possibility of using the Defender again. I'm torn between one of the other Otterbox cases or a handful of these.
I have this cheapo http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-Kicks...423428?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a1fef9d04
very similar type of design with the built-in kickstand. Personally the rubber hasn't given me any issues.
FYI, you can find virtually all of these cases on Amazon for less (including shipping) than eBay. Just search "i727 hybrid". If you're planning to mix and match, keep an eye on the manufacturers. Mybat and Case-Xpro seem to be the same company (or, at least, identical designs), but Dragoncell, which makes the cases shown in the OP, uses a different size of plastic mesh than Mybat/Case-Xpro do.
I'm going to order one Dragoncell, one Mybat and one Case-Xpro and see how much I like each. I'll post results here. I mean, $25 for 3 cases (incl. shipping) isn't much to complain about.
Hey guys,
Recently I bought this and while it looked great at first, it dawned on me that it doesn't tightly fit my device and the bottom part of my Nexus 4 has slipped out of the case a couple times..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/FULL-BLACK-...959490?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item56513a4042
So now I'm hunting for a new case. I've had really good experiences with the Seidio case with my Nexus S, but it's proven to be rather expensive compared to what others have offered. Wouldn't mind going back if it's the only case of this category that is the best fit and protection for the device.
I was looking at the Mybat but was concerned about the actual bulk of the device, and it being easy to remove as I often take off the shell from time to time. Also, no one seemed to comment if the case interferes with headphones with L-shaped plugs either.
The other two contenders are Ballistic and Ionic, heard great things from both but unsure which is better. I did hear that Ionic cases attract lint very easily but I do like its price very much. Not a fan of the bubble-back design though. Heard great things about Ballistic, but like the Seidio case, the cost is making me apprehensive about purchasing one.
Mybat: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Nexus-4-...4?pt=PDA_Accessories&var=&hash=item2a286793ca

I have the iconic and thought it was too thick, so I ordered the Ballistic one and it's even thicker
I'm tempted to try the ACTIVE but I have spent so much on cases it isn't even funny....
Edit...I just bought it on ebay for $24.99 and free shipping.
When i had my gs3 i had a variety of cases including; cheap ebay "tough" cases with kickstands, an otterbox defender (never again), and a ballistic sg. The Ballistic is a GREAT case. It was sturdy, the phone would never pop out, the plastic was nice, and the silicone inner was much better than the plastic inner found on the defender. The silicon not only prevented scratches, but also prevented dust and any other unwanted items in. It almost seals the device. When i bought my nexus 4, i was very dissapointed that there weren't any decent protective cases out. I knew the ballistic sg was coming, but ive had my device since december and needed something for the short term... Something to get so i can wait for the ballistic. I was almost going to buy the case you bought, but i really don't like kickstands. I searched on ebay and found the mybat tough case, I bought it as it met all my requirements; it was cheap, it was protective, it didn't have a kickstand, and it actually looked good. The buyer i bought my case from shipped the case very fast to Australia, (which suprised me, usually these types of cases end up taking about a month) To my suprise, the case was really good quality for the price. The cutouts were (almost) perfect, the fit was pefect, the phone doesn't move about at all. I paid 15 dollars shipped to Australia compared the 70 or 80 odd dollars it would cost me to buy a ballistic shipped. I had the case on for a day, and I loved it...Until I tried to hang up on a phone call... the sensor on the lg is very sensitive, and this case just blocks it enough to stop the screen coming on. This fault was quickly fixed with a drill bit, and since then, i have had no issues, and will continue using this case for the remainder of the phones life. I simply prefer the whole case over the ballistic i had on the s3. However the ballistic was slightly better made, it doesn't warrant even a 15 dollar increase over this case. I love this case. (Note in my pictures the proximity cut out I modified) I did a custom design with sharpie marker on mine and it came out awesome! I wouldn't do this to a more expensive case as id be worried about wrecking it, but since these bad boys are so cheap, who cares. If this broke, i wouldn't think twice at buying another one.
Edit: This case also works with my energizer qi charging mat.
that back is awesome!
FYI the ballistic case works with the LG-WCP700 wireless charging pad. I do however find it is harder to hold on to as it's slippery compared to the Ionic. It's also larger than the Ionic.
I'd go with Mybat (because it's cheap and looks decent) or the Active (because seidio makes a good product and I like the kickstand.)
i also love the look of rugged cases.. been using them ever since my first smartphone
currently i am using this armourdilo case that i saw online.. it is available for sale on mobilefun website or i have seen a seller through eBay AUS...
availbale in a varieety of colours as well although i stuck the standard black on black ...
as well as many youtube vdo reviews bout it.. so i decided to buy it.. really good look and feel..

How easy is it to remove the case once installed? Plus does it interfere with L-shaped headphone jacks?

It's made by the same oem as the mybat cases.

How easy is it to remove the case once installed? Plus does it interfere with L-shaped headphone jacks?

The case is easier to get off than my ballistic sg on the s3 was. With that said, if i drop it, it doesn't feel as if it will fly apart. The case has interfered with one of my L-shaped head jacks, and works with another.. i just use a simple headphone extender when i want to use those earphones.

Hmmm that might not fly then for me... I listen to music with my phone a lot ... my phone is essentially an Internet-enabled MP3 player that so happens to have a phone function built in lol.

I have the ionic case on mine wasn't too sure from the pictures but I like it and the circles on the back aid grip.
I also dropped it from about 5feet and it bounced on all 4 corners but the phone was fine!
Mate I answered you about headphones, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37912172#post37912172 :silly: I can recommend the tuff case too, it is a solid and very fair priced case.

I heard that it is a dust/lint magnet, is this true?

I'm running the seidio surface case. Expensive, but you can't beat the quality.

It does a bit, it is not terrible though, I only really noticed having a look to reply to you!
Second with mybatt.. Cheap and sturdy for the price. Get a good looking one for the less dangerous situations.

The best protection gives you MyBat! I have Wrapsol film and the Tuff case from MyBat and I think my phone is unbreakable.

can i order the ionic case to india?
please reply me asap
i am in urgently need for a case
should be protective and cheap as well
I have been using this case for almost a week now and i must say at first it felt bulky, and Yes thats coming from someone with a Note 4. Also its hard to use the Hear Rate monitor but it does work, just needs a little playing around with. In all I got use to the size of the case and now don't even notice it. Its got an awesome design, the Protection i want and is in my budget. Cost only $17 USD which is not bad at all. The case also features a kickstand which I think I already broke... its still works though. You can watch my review on it below if you like.
UPDATE: Its been a week and the case has grown on me but now I seen something else that makes me feel like the Tough Armour is not the best there is.

Hi, I just got my Note 4 and am searching for "the best case" Untill now I was thinking about buying the tough armor..... then I saw your post! What does make you feel this wouldn't be the beste case there is. Is there anything bad about it that you have experienced? I haven't seen the case in real yet, since there is no store in Germany where we can buy it.... we can just order it online and the cheapest price is $27,50 (converted). So about $10 more than in the US. Which case would you recommend more than that?
Appreciate any info. Cheers!
its not too bad, but the flush buttons are SUPER annoying
I have this case. I'm still getting used to the buttons, but I love it in general. The only thing missing IMO would be a holster clip that fit this case with the glass facing inwards. I probably wouldn't even use it for the holster part so much as keeping this badboy sealed up tight when I'm not using it.
Spigen kickstands are a joke, cheap pieces of crap that fall off way too easily. Case might be fine but why include a POS flimsy kickstand?

I switched from this to the Otterbox Symmetry. The otter just seems more protective for some reason.
I just picked up this case. Like it. Sure seems like it will protect the phone for sure. The flush buttons are good for design, but can be tough to find sometimes if you're not looking too close. Fits nice though. I tried an S View case as well as an LED Flip Wallet and hated flipping the front over and behind to use the phone. Like this much better overall.
