this is a sleeve i made for my phone today. its pearl white leather and probably the thinnest u can make a sleeve case thats durable. thickness of the leather is like 3 or 4 pieces of paper thick
Congratulation on the case. Very nice, thought I would prefer one made out of black or tan leather.
Can anyone suggest a case similar to:
Casemate's Barely There
I have tried ordering this case off 7 websites and the main Casemate website and EVERY SINGLE site is OUT OF STOCK.
What should I do?
Is the Incipio Feather a good solid case? As good as the Barely There?
should be a case? if it's very thin, bestskinever is good.
I like my Boxwave Crystal Clear, it doesn't hide the Nexus beauty, it's thin, but I'd like to think it's protective.
It's a soft rubbery case.. Not a hard case, not a silicone case...
Seidio Innocase II.
I thought the Innocase II was a thicker phone case.
I was looking for something like the Barely There.
Has anyone on here tried the Boxwave Snap Fit Shell?
got it
went on a lil nexus one shopping spree:
got the
- Boxwave Snap-Fit Shell in Jet Black - 24.99
- Barely There Metallic -22.99
- CaseMate ID Case (was on sale 9.99)
- Seidio Innodock Jr Desktop Cradle
I am going to post a video review of all this.
Otterbox!

I'm trying to decide between the matte black TPU case and the hard case from Diztronix. What are the pluses and minuses on each?

Well I have the Matte black Case From Diztronic...Its perfect to me...feels great...fits right and looks very good...but just pick the case you like best my friend bcuz thats all that matters...
I was on their site for a brief moment after seeing the review for the TPU case (ordered one, it looks like a good case!) and saw the hard case as an option, so checked out the pictures.
Biggest difference is that being a hard case, it can't flex to put the phone in, so the top/bottom bits are missing like many other cases. That was the biggest reason I went for the TPU since it has protection all around.
Tpu vs hard case.
TPU is a tad thicker, but provides more protection. All corners are covered.
Hardcase is thinner and does not provide coverage on the top of the phone and bottom.
I have the TPU, and hardcase coming in on Monday. I opted for the hardcase because of the option to put it into my GNex Seidio Surface case. The tpu is too thick and makes the phone too long to fit so hoping this will fit and be my weekend warrior.
Saying all that, I currently got my LG Nexus Bumper. And I have to say I do like it a lot. I actually had one but since sold it when I first got the phone because using the bumper, the phone would not fit in any of my universal cases at the time.
I got the Diztronic tpu and had that and was quite happy with it. Seeing a few threads about the Seidio holster possibility, I went and bought the hard case because I already have the Seidio Surface spring holster. Between all of that happening, I finally got my bumper case and fell in love with the bumper all over again. Thinking I was going to sell it again because I couldn't find a decent holster to house the phone, I tried putting the phone with the bumper into my universal vertical belt holster which fit the phone and tpu case.
To my disbelief and amazement, the phone actually fit! The Diztronic stretched the the case enough where the bumper can pretty much slide in without an issue!
Well sorry for the long a$$ story, but this is what I had personally gone through so far. Not to mention getting yet another case, the Nillkin flip case. Not sure if I am going to keep it though. I may just sell it to another person here or ebay.
So ever since I owned my Evo 4G, I have found a kickstand an invaluable part of my daily phone use. Most phones don't come with them so I am always looking for a good kickstand case. Sadly, most of kickstand cases are not to my liking as they are either too thick, cover the sides but not the top and bottom of the phone, etc. The Seidio Surface w/kickstand for the S4 comes close but I don't like the cutouts for the buttons. It just feels awkward trying to push the buttons as I wish Seidio had covered them with TPU or silicone. My favorite non-kickstand cases are definitely the Diztronic TPU cases as they are very slim, fit perfectly, use high quality TPU, very reasonably priced, and provide good protection from everyday wear and tear. If only there was some way to add a kickstand to the Diztronic, this would be my perfect case.
So I then came across the following video where the guy added a Seidio kickstand to an Otterbox commuter and I figured I could do the same to my Diztronic case.

So here is what I did:
1. Found the cheapest Seidio Surface with kickstand I could. Turns out it was a purple version made for the One X+. $8 with free Prime shipping on Amazon. Perfect.
2. I extracted the kickstand by simply pulling back the felt and popping the kickstand out.
3. Used the bottom half of the Seidio case (which now has an empty/vacant slot where the kickstand use to be) and positioned it inside the Diztronic TPU case.
4. Using a sharpie, I utilized the empty kickstand mold to trace the outline of the kickstand onto the inside of the Diztronic.
5. Used an exacto knife to cut out the outline I just traced onto the inside of the Diztronic. This left a hole/gap just the right size for the kickstand.
6. I slipped the kickstand in and secured it with black electrical tape.
7. Put my modified Diztronic case onto my S4 and done!
The kickstand is very secure and props the phone up perfectly in landscape mode. Its slim, covers all sides of the phone, has a nice lip, and buttons are easy to push. Glad to finally have my perfect kickstand case!
Wow.
Great work. I'm with you in that I love the Diztronic cases, but I would for sure mess this up haha.

I received the Poetic Quarterback case today. It can be found at this link http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-QuarterBack-Protection-Replaceable-Black/dp/B019SFU05M. Very nice look to the case, study feel, and looks somewhat industrial with the metal studs on the back. I would feel very comfortable having this case on my tablet in a professional environment such as a workplace or university. I usually have my Poetic Turtle Skin Series case on my Amazon Fire, and that one does offer a bit more protection in my opinion for the tablet, but it is not as pleasing in appearance as the Quarterback case is. Overall I am pleased with the case and it is everything I expected after viewing it online. If you are looking for a sleek professional looking case for the Amazon Fire then this is the case to purchase, and on top of this, the pricing is also quite reasonable. The one complaint I have is that I am worried I will scratch the surface I place the case upon due to the metal studs on the back, and I guess that could be fixed if one could replace them with plastic/rubberized ones.

I want to buy the same Poetic Quarterback Case, but for my Fire 8 (2015):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B019...age_23?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1NM6DL7S92CZW&th=1
Poetic - Fire HD 8 Case, Poetic Quarterback [Corner / Bumper Protection] [Replaceable Back] [Dual protection] - Stylish rugged PC + TPU Case for Amazon Fire HD 8 (2015) Black / Black
Although both the 7" and 8" Cases are similars, I would like to know if anyone has bought this Case for the 8" Model, and if this Case is also recommended for the new Amazon Fire 8" tablets.*
Since apparently it could offer more protection, I was also interested in the Poetic Turtle Skin Series case for the Fire 8, but I found it a little big and bulky.
So, I also would like to know if the Poetic Quarterback Case for Fire 8, really looks and feels more professional, and if although is thin and light, will provide good protection for the Fire 8?

I've been using it for about a week now on my Fire 7 (2015) and I really like it. I also did a weighing and the Quarterback case to my surprise is actually lighter than the Turtle case. So I would definitely say you should go for it. Especially since it is only like $11.95. However if you are looking for protection, then you should go for the Turtle case.
Thanks rjmxtech for your quick reply!
As I said before, I am looking for protection, but I think that the turtle case is may be to big and heavy...
I Don't know if it's to much to ask, but could you please post some pictures of both cases, so I can compare the size and shape of these two Poetic Cases?
I am also planning to get a Tempered Glass Screen Protector:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B014JA3U1C/ref=ya_st_dp_summary
SPARIN - Fire HD 8 Screen Protector [Tempered Glass], SPARIN® [Bubble-Free] [Repeatable Installation] Glass Screen Protector for NEW - Fire HD 8 (2015 Released)
Do you know if this is good quality, or know of any other brand that could be much better?
Nice Rugged Case, Be Careful Around Some Surfaces
Poetic kindly sent me this case in exchange for a review, as I'd previously bought their Poetic Note case for my Nexus 7 (2013) (and love it!).
The good: I love the feel of this case... it gives the otherwise cheap feeling Amazon Fire some real substance. I also love the rubber bezel on the sides which makes it great to grip and hold. The front lip isn't huge which is nice, but still substantial enough to keep the screen off dirty surfaces if you lay it screen down. The rubber is also nice and rigid, and it holds it very securely; buttons seems to work well in it still. I like the back plate styling a lot too. And overall, with this case on, it really feels like I can frisbee the Fire around (to the couch, across a table, etc) without worry.
The meh: The removable back plate is rather tricky to take off, but is just part of how securely this case fits together. Some of my MicroUSB cables have less than svelte connectors which are a bit difficult to plug in, and make the case bulge out a bit around it (photo).
The bad: The hex screws that hold the back plate on... the heads stand off the back by about a millimeter (photo), and while they certainly give it a rugged look and have the benefit of keeping the back from getting scuffed/damaged because it never rests on the plastic. But, I am extremely worried about them scratching other devices in my bag, and incredibly leery of tossing this around or even setting it down on surfaces you actually care about... like wood tables you don't want dented/scored, my glass desk, the glass conference table at work, etc. I really cringe getting it near anything glass. I'm tempted to just leave them off as the back plate does snap onto the rubber really securely anyway, but I also kind of wish they were plastic metallic-looking screws or just flush plastic plugs instead.
Overall, I do like the case a lot, and have continued to use it for the last 3 weeks despite my reservations about the screw-heads.
