Case-mate barely there case

Just got mine today, came with a screen protector.
fits great, has soft feel and is not slippery in the hand at all.
Its my second case-mate I've owned and I'm definitely satisfied. If you want the right case the first time and not to deal with the riff raff, this Is for you.

just ordered , will post info when i get it

just got in the mail couple of minutes ok. Great purchase, very light and tight on the phone , like OP said comes with a screen protector (which am not using) and a cloth to wipe your screen down , which leave it like new too

It acually comes off without a struggle too, which it seems a lot of these style cases lack. Cheers

Just ordered as well. I've been using OtterBox for my T-Mobile G2, but the tab attaching the front piece to the phone on OtterBox case is broken. We'll see how well case-mate case holds up.

Still a little pricey for me, the rubber ones one ebay have the same rubbery feel and also look and protect the same for less then $5. Just my opinion though

how rubbery is it? The original case I bought from Tmobile would get stuck in my pocket when I would try and pull it out. Now I am rocking a clear case but one of the tabs recently broke so I am looking for another

Its not rubbery to the point that its hard to take out of pocket, just feels nice in the hand, and not as slippery as a gloss finish.
Spending $20 bucks to adequately protect a device that costs $500 out of contract is well worth it imo.
Like I said, I reccomend it to the people not interested in wading through the waves of ebay garbage for $1.99

like the name says this case is really light, but protects your phone well

I've got my DZ with the Barely There case for about a month now, and I'm very happy with it. You don't even notice the screen protector, and the case itself doesn't make your phone look like a new refridgerator, but it does make your phone feel like it's sturdy enough to survive an accidental drop on the ground.
I recommend the CM BT case to every DZ user

Can this be store bought? I've been looking for a Screen protector that includes a case!

I was actually not aware of this brand (Case-Mate) before, and was therefor very surprised to see that the case i bought for 5$ in a little Chinese shop in manhattan looks 99% the same (only difference i could see is the hole on top right corner of the back, as i've seen in several other cases, but not mine.)
i think for 1/4 of the price, its well worth it

Thanks for the pics bro

HTC Gel Skin

Anyone have the HTC Gel Skin? I've looked around for reviews but haven't seen anyone cover this to my liking.
I specifically would like to know about the power button. I had bad luck with the power button on the Seidio Surface Case so I'm worried about pulling the trigger on another case.

Did HTC even release a gel case for the HOX? I can't say I've seen one, other than stuff from other manufacturers

I returned it as soon as I got it in the mail. Very flimsy. Not worth the 25...
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I video link took me to youtube front page. And the case looks so flimsy. You can find better on ebay. And cheaper.

I have the black one. Got it from att for $15.
It's your typical silicone case. Covers the phone well. Camera is protected.
But boy, this thing is an absolute lent and dust and you name it magnet. I know the black doesn't help since you can see everything but my goodness.
It feels good in the hands however. Definitely not worth $30. $15 is a bit much also but I will continue using it until I get a barely there case or something else comes out.
I have full body ghost Armor and may not even use a case at all.

Here is the gel skin i found on ebay. Had it for a while and love it. Not too bulky and offers good protection. And only spent 6 bucks.

Cases with good lip around the front

Hi I've been a lurker for a while pyt this is my first post and I was wondering if anyone had good recommendations for cases with a frontlip for the one x. I switch from the iPhone 3gs and was using the incase slider that a had a really nice design and saved my phone many times. I was the wondering if anyone knows of a similar case that won't scratch my phone like the incase did.

Loving my Case-mate "Smooth" purchased from expansys. Semi-rigid with a great hand feel. Recommended. No cutout for the contacts on the back though.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium HD. In between FCs.

I did see that case I how big is the lip on the front. And does it feel cheap at all or does it collect a lot of lint because those are my only problems with some gel and tpu cases.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Feels very well made, fits tightly. You might have a tiny struggle getting it on at first, but you'll manage. The lip over the sides comes just far up enough to cover the seams on the glass. And because of its rigidity, it doesn't buckle to reveal the seams. I'm very satisfied with it.
One flaw I found - and it's been on both units I purchased - was a little unfinished cutting on the bottom edge of the camera lens cutout. Probably something in manufacturing where they cut it from the mold or whatever. It bothered me enough to get a return authorization, but it dawned on me (again) that life's too short to give a crap about ridiculous things like this so I never returned it. In fact, I bought the second unit for a buddy of mine instead.

I bought the Incipio Feather and NGP. The feather is going back the NGP is staying. This is a somewhat overpriced but well made and well fitting TPU case (semi-soft). Feels much more secure in my hand and less likely to slip than the Feather, though admittedly not as sleek. the Speck cases on the iPhone seem to offer good protection, but the only ones I saw in the AT&T store were ugly red and bright blue, I am not a teenager, no way I am putting one of these on my phone.

The official purple TPU case is pretty good for that but I'm not sure if I'm a huge fan of its appearance.

Cimo TPU case from Amazon is pretty good. Nice lip and good grip on the edges. Plus it was only $8 when I bought mine

Incipio Sylicrilic Shine

I am a case junky. Just got this case. Best case I have seen for our phone. Way cooler looking, nice lip for front of phone to keep glass off surface, and for that typepf case, it fits better than otterbox, and Trident, while having a slimmer footprint. EXCELLENT case

What other cases do you have or used? I currently have the Seidio Surface (W/O kickstand) and offcial HTC case from AT&T.
I'm looking for a little bit thicker case than the HTC one. Can't choose between Case Mat Barely There or Incpipio Feather. Might just buy both

In ordered mine a week ago. It's sitting at my house waiting for me. Can't wait till I get back home on friday to check it out! It looks slick as hell.

We'll its an identical case I think, it's just metallic. The pictures look incredibly sexy and I'm hoping it looks as nice in person as it does in the pictures because then it will become the new king of cases. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Same brand as silicrylic, although if I'm not mistaken, the Shine has a hard back case, as opposed to the 'strange' feeling back of the Silicrylic Dual.
To those rockin the official HTC one from ATT, have you noticed some strange markings on the back of the phone (White version) where the case doesn't cover? My white one has darker lines from where the blue case doesn't cover.

Bought a cheap hard shell case on ebay for about $2. SPOILER I love it

So I was browsing ebay for cheap hard shell cases for a DIY project when I stumbled upon these cheap cases. I bought a couple and they got to me from China to Los Angeles as early as 4 business and one case lagged behind and arrived 8 business days later. Overall shipping was really fast. Overall the cases are really nice and snug but one thing that stood out the most was it's very easy to remove from the case. With the Ringke Slim Case, I would worry about scratching the chrome bezel but this thing pops out like a charm yet it snug enough for me to not worry about it coming out on its own. Will i the phone pop out if I drop it? Doubt it.
These cases are super slim and you can actually see the Nexus logo through the case. It's not noticeable unless you look for it and even then, it's very faint but that just gives you the idea of how slim it is. The plastic feels close to what the rubberized plastic feels like on the nexus so it feels good in the hand and actually feels like a premium case in my opinion. I own a couple Ringke cases, a poetic bumper, and various flip cases and this $2 case is my favorite out of them all. For those who have the Ringke case and a back skin protector, you'll notice two lines streaming down the back, this doesn't cause that. I have the Best Skins Ever skin protector on the back and have no issues with it. I do not have a front screen protector so I can't comment on how it would act with one. Now of course there are some minor annoyances defects with this case, it's a cheap $2 Chinese case, but the pros greatly out weigh the cons and they are only cosmetic. The one thing that this case has that stands out for the rest is that it has a cut out for the sim tray, something I haven't seen on any other case and may or may not be a downside. For me, I don't mind. Also pushing the power button may take some getting used to but it's not an issue. Other than that I love the hell out of this case and I'm glad I bought a bunch and it has a logo-less design! I'll upload some pics below.
Pro's
*No Logos
*Feels premium
*No streaks on the back of the phone like Ringke
*Cheap
*Fast shipping
*Super lightweight and thin
*Doesn't interfere with back skin protectors
*Has a rubberized plastic feel
*Looks amazing in person
*Sim tray cut out
Cons
*Very minor cosmetic blemishes
Tl;Dr: Overall I love it more than any other case I have bought including the slim Rearth case. Definite buy. For something $2 it definately feels better than those $10+, $20+ cases

In one of the pictures, you'll see a little bit of excess plastic and there's a seam that runs along side the case. You can't feel it but you can clearly see it. Those are the only cosmetic blemishes and can me remedied easily.

thanks for the review! for me the biggest con's that I've picked out right away are the lack of protection for the top and the bottom of the phone, rendering it 1/2 way useless, considering 1/2 times the phone drops on it's top/bottom. I might have looked at the case wrong, but from the photos, it seems like there are only sides and back protection.

Yeah the top and bottom are exposed and for some reason imgur only uploaded half the photos I wanted. This is my personal opinion on the case and I can see how the top and bottom exposed would be an issue for some. It completely went over my head on that part. For ~$2 I would still pick one up to play with. Originally this was meant fit a diy project but it won me over as a plain case

That's a stupidly cheap case. Looks exactly identical like it and offers a high variety of colors. Nice find.

It seems ebay.ca doesn't have My Cart only Watch List.

It looks like the seller is also selling TPU cases for $2.33. I have yet to find a TPU case that I like for this thing. Maybe I'm just too anti-cases in general.
