Put Ghost Armor Matte on my Skyrocket but am getting annoyed with how parts of it peel. Used to throw Best Skins Ever on every device without issue. Any suggestions on the best thinnest case vs. protective skins?
The Cellaris case here seems interesting for it's aluminum cover: https://www.cellairis.com/product/cellairis-fender-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-i727-black
So does this cheap TPU case: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678753
Thinnest case probably is the Rearth Ringke.

I m using diztonic TPU, not sure if it is the thinnest but is quite nice

I have a generic TPU case (no idea what brand) and by my ruler/eye it is 12mm, so the one linked above is only .5mm thinner. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't notice the difference.

I have the BodyGlove case. It's hard rubber, nice grip and adds protection to the screen because it overlaps the front of the phone. It works well because I've dropped it on my concrete patio out back and the phone was unscathed. The best feature was the $10 price tag at WalMart. Looks similar to the Rearth Ringke and the Diztonic TPU. Great purchase.
I have found the Seidio Surface line to be the thinnest and offer the best protection. Excellent product, have had this model on my last three devices.
This case is hard shell with thin padding on the inside you protect the finish of your phone. And it has a matte finish that gives your Skyrocket a much better surface to hold on to that the slick stock finish.
You can find the case alone for around 25 bucks, or with the belt clip holster as a combo for 30 - 35 if you Google in the right places.

Hrm, had a Seidio holster back in the Blackberry days, solid products. Didn't realize their cases were also now among the thinnest.

The Surface case is very thin. Here's a video review I located.
Excellent case IMHO.
And here's a link to Amazon with a pretty good price on the case and holster combo -> http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-BD2-HR3SSSKY-BK-SURFACE-Holster-Skyrocket/dp/B006NYOW8S/ref=pd_sim_cps_6

Jus' sayin', y'know, if blue's your thing...
Thanks guys. Think I am sold on the Seidio given the 1mm thickness and past use of their stuff. Have the TPU case from here on order but might just get both and compare.

I'm tempted to get the blue Seidio considering how little it costs, but the wife might just kill me if I have another case delivered right after getting my new Diztronic TPU (which replaced that black case after I destroyed it, which replaced the Diztronic TPU she now has, which replaced a series of Dragoncell hybrid cases, which replaced an Otterbox, etc...I have case ADHD).
If it helps domestic peace any it seems the Platinum case / rebranded Seidio Surface + Holster can be had on eBay from US sellers for around $10 Although reading some threads it seems it only comes in black.
I think I'm going to get one of these although I am seeing some posts saying that the bottom can be a little loose for some. Hoping it's the exact same build quality as the Seidio branded version.

Don't worry about resurrecting an old thread... Our accessories forum isn't too active anyway
I have the Infuse 4g dock (compatible with skyrocket)
However there isn't that much space. The dock works best when the rocket is naked

Thanks for the reply.
Bare phones always seem to work better with docks. I have this dock in picture and that's the one I'd like to know if it would work with the seidio surface case.
To answer own concern, yes it does fit. Perfectly.

but can u still place the tablet on the dock well? does it have no problems in terms of performance when putting it in the dock? thanks
I used to use Zagg on everything but I got tired of the orange peel look on all my devices.
I was wondering the exact same, I've got Zagg Shields on all my devices and it works great.
Does anyone actually has a TF201 full body protection on their TF700 and does it still fit well in the dock?
Or does anybody know of a good alternative full body protection for the TF700 like: Skinomi TF700?
Dont go with Zagg, its a decent product for protecting the device but theres enough other "military grade" protectors out there you can find something that works JUST as well with not as soft material, thinner material, and smoother material, for the same or less cost.
If you find your dock snug you can always peel off the felt pads from inside the dock, i even used a file to sand em down a ltitle so its completely flat. works awesome!

Just thought I'd throw this out there so we can generate some interest and have a pattern made for some clear protective skins from BestSkinsEver
I've been using these guys for years for protecting all of my electronics / GPS screens, and have thus far found them to be the best in terms of quality / customer service and price. I can say for a fact that the material they use is identical to the material used by InvisibleShield and most of the other 'clear skin protector' companies out there. With this said, though, aside from IS, BSE has never let me down in terms of the quality of their templates, whereas with other brands I have had issues with coverage of speaker holes / screw holes/ etc.
I e-mailed the company asking if they had any plans for a TF700 body skin, and they responded with:
We have not yet received enough demand for the Asus TF700, therefore, we do not currently have plans to produce a Skin for it. We have added your name to the list to be notified if this status changes.
We have confirmed that the screen Skin for the ASUS Transformer Prime TF201 is compatible and the body Skin is not.
If you are using the dock, it looks like the TF201 dock compatible screen and dock only body Skins should work on your TF700. If you would like to try either of them and they do not fit, we will be happy to honor our 30-Day Money Back Guarantee.

I am mainly interested in having a skin on the back of the Infinity to avoid any scratches / scuffs that are inevitable, even with silicone / folio type cases, since dirt or grit can get stuck between the tablet and case surfaces.
If you guys are interested, shoot them an e-mail at [email protected]. I am in no way affiliated with the company, and I apologize if this breaks any forum rules, but I am just looking to see if there's anyone else looking in a non-case solution for protecting their Infinity.

Hi All,
I'm looking for recommendations for a Touchpad case that will work with a Touchstone. I've heard nothing but positive things about the Targus Truss case, except that it is too thick to work with the Touchstone. I've heard that the Poetic Slimbook case will work with the Touchstone. Anyone have one? Any comments?
Or do I just go with the genuine HP case, which I assume works with the Touchstone?
Any reasonably slim case will be ok as long as there's no metal in it. I have my TP in a tpu case inside a fairly hefty leatherette case and it charges fine on the touchstone.
I saw go with the genuine since it works with the touchstone and offers the best value by offering protection and flips to be a stand. It's also pretty slim.

I have been using the Acase and it fits perfectly, looks great and charges fine with the Touchstone.

Using the HP case, love it.
I just got one from wall mart called m edge. It was actually one of the only few that fit. It let's you rotate 360° while still attached and folds to a stand. Only $30. And slim and simple

It looks and feels good, its usable as a stand and works fine the the touckstone also. never tried another but i am very please with this one.

i would go with the Hp touchpad products.
haven't tried any cases with a touchstone yet but I do have the Original case and a pleather Chinese case thats horrible.
The original case is significantly better. till the areas near the volume and charge port stretch out for no apparent reason. Seems to be a common defect for it though.
I have the stock folio cases on mine. They work fine with the touchstone dock. Though the flap on the cover eventually sags.
Why the touchstone is still expensive....

Resurrecting it only because this bloody fantastic tablet is still popular.
I use the touchstone with the Targus, the OEM case from HP and TPU cases I pickup years ago. No problems.
I wish that I could still find the TPU type cases...
Touchstones are still around on FleaBay for $20 on up and there's some $$$$ ones on Amazon also.

Hello,
I have a Moto X Pure on the way and I would like to get a case for it that allows me to show the phones back colors while protecting it to some degree and not make it so much larger and bulkier. The phones back color is Deep Sea Blue
The cases that stand out to me are the Incipio Octane, I-Blason Halo & Vena Retain. Do you folks have other suggestions ?
Any experience or input if those cases would allow the Blue to show through ?
Thanks,
Pete
I got a clear TPU case from EBay for $4 and its very slim and fell nice in hand since the back curves with the phone.
I just picked up a pleson clear case from amazon for 7.95 the other week, So far i like the case alot, its very slim and fits great
If you want a completely clear case and are comfortable with all TPU - then +1 on the Pleson: http://amzn.to/1NuSTcr, or if you want a hybrid (Colored TPU sides with a hard clear back) then the Vena Retain is a good choice too: http://amzn.to/1OCskTL.
I have both, and my personal choice as a daily driver is the Pleson. It's a bit slimmer and really shows off the back of my red leather. But either are good choices.
I have the i-Blason case. I think it was about $14 on Amazon. Thin. Shows the back fine and has a bumper (I got the black bumper). I think the only case thinner would be one without a bumper.
I appreciate all the info guys...I wonder what the difference between the I-Blason and Vena case is, are the materials the same, anyone have both ?

I use the Vena vskin, what I like about it is its totally clear, fits the moto x snugly, easy to push the buttons and the back isnt a hard plastic but softer so it doesn't scratch up at all, Plus it was cheap, got it off ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Flexible-Tr...id=100040&rk=1&rkt=4&mehot=pp&sd=381431952096

idk if it helps, but this is the aforementioned Incipio Octane. I wanted the same, a semitransparent case that was well made and would hold up and also still fit after i applied a dbrand skin. Incipio sells these on ebay directly. Express Depot is the name of their store, iirc.
i also bought a dual pro as that is my go-to case for any phone, but i keep going back to the Octane. pictures in ads/on websites dont do it justice.
i've got one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/12205791935...49&var=421092565560&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT from Poetic...they have with and without the black trimming...so you can go completely clear if you'd like.
I don't like cheap ass $5 to $10 cases from ebay and amazon. I am looking for some branded case such as spigen, speck and tech21. Let me know if you any other good brands who are making good cases for this phone.
I asked Spigen, they gonna have some but still no ETA :/
I have this one, which is very well done. i't thin, has a good grip, and enough protection for the screen and camera (personal opinion)

I got the same case for my brandnew mate 9. It fits nicely but i doubt it will offer the same protection as my last case.
On my old Galaxy Note Edge i have a Verus Thor case which is a composite of hard and soft protection layers which served my well.
Unfortunately the company has nothing to offer for Huawei so i go with the Nillkin case for the time being.
My black Nilkin case came in the mail yesterday. I highly recommend it. Good grip and feel. Can't go wrong with this one.
I have another one coming in the mail but I can't remember the brand haha.

I just got the spingen case and it comes close to the old Verus.
Not 2 seperate layers but a medium hard material which i expect to dampen any drop.
And the surface has more grip than the bare mate or the hard Nillkin case.
I got the Spigen yesterday. Really like it. Feels great in the hand and looks like it'll do the job as well.

I got it on Amazon in Spain. Maybe, it's not genuine but it feels pretty good quality.
Same problem with my Axon 7. With these non-carrier branded phones, it is tough to find a decent case.
I'm using this case, super good quality, very slim footprint. Smart details too like anti-slip sides.
Should have covered the edge of the glass though.

I've bought about 10 cases, and the only one that is grippy enough that I don't feel like I'll drop the phone when using it one-handed is just a generic plastic TPU one. I have to fit a wireless charging adaptor and some magnets behind the phone, though, so I wish there was something a little bit roomier, but still thin enough for the magnets to work (I use wireless charging car mount)
