hey,
I'm thinking buying a case for my SGS.
I have some case on my mind and I hope maybe someone can help me decide which one I should get. If you how much thickness the case would add to the phone and if it provides a good protect to the phone.
the cases are:
1) SGP Case ULTRA SILKE
2) Case-mate Tough Case
3) Tuff-Luv Slim&Lite Silicone skin case
4) PDair Luxury Silicone Case
thanks.
none of the above
well maybe the tough case
but you can get non bran name tough case on ebay for way less
after trying out many cases, i still like the Mesh Case from Korea better good quality build, and looks amazing on the phone
they have a metal look to it, even though it's hybrid plastic/rubber
i have a tough case at home, it's collecting dust, it doesn't look good on the phone
but it does protect the phone if that is what you want
but if you prefer better looks then the Korean have better choices
I recently got the tough case from case mate and it's pretty awesome. It's great because I know that my phone will be protected if I drop it. I'm not a big fan of the silicon cases simply that you won't get much protection from them if you drop your phone..
My only gripe about the tough case is that it does add a bit of bulk to the phone and makes it a bit more difficult to carry in your pocket. That's the trade off for drop protection though

I'm about to purchase an HTC Desire, and I'm shopping for a good case/holster so I'm ready to go once I get the new phone (just waiting on the contract to expire)...
I work in a manufacturing plant, and I'm pretty rough on phones. I typically carry them horizontally on my belt, and I'm looking for something similar. However, I want something that will protect as much as possible as it get bumped on equipment, conveyor, etc. Screen-in is a must, obviously. I'd really like something that protects the phone all the time, and then some sort of holster that holds the phone with the protection.
The best thing I've found is a Innocase Rugged Combo, but it's only available for the Nexus One, and won't fit the desire...
Something similar I've found is a snap-on hard case combo but I haven't found any reviews. It's a hard cover and a clip-type holster together from Techie Warehouse (mfg unknown).
Then there are clip-type holsters like the Amzer Rubberized holster.
Or leather holsters like the MobiMan Premium.
Then, I've always got the option to make something. My best friend makes leather and kydex holsters, so I'm tempted to make my own holster like the leather or clip one. I would just keep the phone in armor like the Case-Mate Barely There, Case-Mate Tough, or PDair Aluminum Case within the holster I make.
What do you guys think? Any experience with any of these, especially the Techie hard combo case? Thanks,
Danny
Have you had a peek at the OtterBox line of cases? They are pretty tough, especially the Defender. The Desire cases are at http://www.otterbox.com/desire-cases/desire-cases,default,sc.html. Only the Defender has a belt clip, and it's made to fit the case. Someone else on XDA had one, and they dropped their Desire down a set of stairs, and it hit a wall and then the ground, and the case was undamaged, and so was the phone.
Just quickly, and off topic, but welcome to xda-developers, shorin!
Yes, I looked at the Otterbox cases. They look very nice, but they just don't quite meet my needs.
The Defender does have a belt clip, but it places the screen out. I'd break the screen in a day with that...
I have considered the Commuter if I make my own holster.
Thanks for the welcome. I've been on here quite a while. Just never needed to post until now...
Thanks,
Danny
It looks like the Otterbox Defender may be the ticket. I did some looking again, and I didn't see any reason the phone wouldn't fit with the screen in.
I found a review on YouTube that confirms this and I also asked the question via the Q&A on the Otterbox website and they confirmed that the holster will work screen-in.
Problem solved...
Danny
No problem!

Just a lily note. I personally use the otterbox defender. It fits the holder screen in or out. And my opinion the best protection money can buy.

New to the forums - don't flame too badly!
I have used the typical cases on my phones before - like Otterbox and Case-mate - but I am looking for something like a Ballistic case for my brand new GS4. Do you guys have any experience with the Ballistic Shell Gel case or something similar?
I am not interested too much in the Otterbox products anymore and looking for something durable; but without too much bulk.
Thanks!
have you checked spigen neo hybrid?
do you mean this case?
[oops - I cannot post the link yet I guess per the rules]
I just searched it on Amazon and it looks to have some pretty good reviews. Do you know of anything more like a Ballistic case with rubber corners? I drop my phone a lot ( I know!! I need to be more careful!) and want to make sure it is protected.
Thanks for the input!
Urban armor gear is maybe something for you check the out on the web

you may try searching
Bumblebee SPIGEN SGP Neo Hybrid EX or SPIGEN SGP Slim Armor
im using Slim Armor, its durable and exactly fits the S4.
Urban Armor Gear, best case! Awesome feeling in the hands and I think my phone is safe.
I suggest you the Spigen neo hybrid cases it's great...
+1000 for UAG cases, they are the best in my opinion without making your phone bulky

Speck Candy Shell Grip is my choice.

One word - Urban Armour Gear!!!
wow - thanks for all of your input! i checked out some of these and the UAG looks pretty good for what I am looking for. I also came across the iOttie Notch Case - does anyone have any reviews on this? It looks similar to the UAG and Ballistic but really priced where I can pick up a few for the family.
Also, are these cases you guys are advising good for the ports with chargers and cables etc? That is another pet peeve of mine with tons of cases.
I work in pretty extreme, EXTREME conditions and the Otterbox Commuter serves me well.

All the ports on the UAG are perfectly cut out. I've had no issues with mine. I originally had one for for my gs3 and when I got this phone, the UAG was the first accessory I went looking for.
I would very highly recommend the UAG!

Title says all. I dont care about protection of the phone as long as it provides good grip.
I've already got official Google case, but it makes the phone a little too big for me.

Grip is decent, not great. Doesn't pull lint though which is nice.

My 2 favorite thin cases are the IMAK Cowboy and the Nillkin clear. The IMAK is the sandstone type in either black or blue. There are a ton of cheap clear cases out the but I haven't found one that feels as good as the Nillkin in my hand. The sides are micro serrated like no other clear case and it provides lots of grip and also feels great.

It may not be thin, and I have zero experience with it yet, but there is the dbrand grip. It is currently still in manufacturing, but I pre-ordered one. Bumper style case (rubber ring around just the edges of the phone, no back sorta deal) that is supposedly super grippy, plus is compatible with dbrand skins. I look forward to getting mine.
The typical basic case made of cheap plastic with decent grip, but it doesn't hide the Pixel's design

This was a gift from my brother for my phone. It feels great in the hand while maintaining a non-slippery surface, also available in many colors:

A more rigid and premium one, this has the best grip of the three:

Here's a 2nd for the Speck Presidio Grip.
And I think if you Google you'll find a 45% off coupon for Speck cases.
I just got my phone and the case a few days later.
And I feel much more secure about the safety of the phone.
Can't have it getting all scratched and dinged, can we?
I recently bought a Pixel XL (due to the Pixel XL 2 not having a 3.5mm audio jack) and I agree that the polished aluminium is quite slippery. I bought a Spigen Hybrid case which seemed a good balance of features for me. It certainly much less slippery than without.
Distronic case. Not super grippy but trippy enough has great protection. I got it and never looked back. Outside of that case I'd probably go for the speck one that people are talking about.

I like hybrid cases and Speck is a good one, but it's not thin and doesn't extend beyond the camera hump.
Best slim, non slippery case for Pixel XL period.

speck presidio grip... not the thinnest but a great case
So I got 3 cases for the Note 9. Defender, Samsung rugged case, and Caseology Legion.
I'm torn between the Defender and Samsung case.
Which case do you think is better protection wise? Do you think the rugged case offers good drop protection even though it's thin? I do like the kickstand on it though.
Which would you choose? Defender or Samsung Rugged case?
I'm using the Samsung case. I need the kickstand, it's light and provided the 360 protection.
I'm currently rocking the Caseology Legion, and I'm loving it. I usually switch back and forth Spigen/Caseology when it comes to cases because they've provided enough protection to my phones. Legion provides plenty of protection if you don't want a bulky rugged case, does add a bit of bulk but not the kind you'd get from an Otter defender imo (which I've tried). So out of those 3 I'd definitely stick with the Legion, the rugged Samsung is too bulky and ugly imo.
samsung rugged case. it's not really that thin. it is very well designed. pretty light, too. you won't find a better fitting rugged case for this phone. kickstand is so useful.

You consider it a heavy duty case?

Yep! I usually prefer really thin cases but I feel that this case is the best balance between style, size and protection. May not meet OtterBox standards but also doesn't make your phone a brick
Spigen Tough armor has always been my go to case. Been using them ever since the Nexus 6p. I love my blue case with kickstand to go with my copper color exynos note.
