Good case for pockets

Hello there, I have the casemate pop case and the rubber sides really make it hard to pull out of a pocket. Does anyone know or have any cases to recommend that slide easily out of pockets and are thinner? Preferably a case without rubber on it. Maybe the Seidio Surface case? Body glove? Tell me what you think! Thanks in advance!

Personally, I'm thinking about getting this case:
h ttp://www.myincipio.com/Samsung-Infuse-4G-Cases-Accessories/Incipio-Samsung-Infuse-4G-SILICRYLIC-Hard-Shell-Case-with-Silicone-Core.asp
Inner soft shell for impact protection, outer plastic shell isn't pocket sticky.
Hope that helps!

Also the tpu cases are a harder silicone I have it and its awesome. Very flexible but durable.

Case-Mate Barely There. It's perfect for pockets.
Only con is it has a little bit less to offer in the protection department, but it hardly adds any bulk at all to your phone. I have had friends surprised that there was a case on my phone.

I use the body glove tpu case and it slides in/out of my pockets with ease and offers a very decent grip.

Me too love it
infused infuse helping other infused infuses?

out of my TPU case and the platinum I like the tpu case better, though the cheap free one I got with my recent spare battery purchase is just a tad too thick around the charging port and keeps the charger from making contact. easy fix
I really need to find the link for that..spare stock size battery, tpu case, screen protector all for about $12

TPU case all the way!

I like my platinum case. See the thread about removing it before buying though.

Seidio Surface Case. It's not cheap though. 24 bucks @ Amazon, free 2nd day air if you a Prime member.

I got one for my Atrix and loved it so much I got it for my Infuse.

Another vote for the TPU case, it's thin enough to not get in the way, has enough grip to prevent slips, and the material is more durable than you would imagine for a flexible case.

[Q] ottorbox defender or case mate tough case

hey guys
so i wanted you opinion on the ottorbox defender case and the case mate tough case... for the sumsang infuse 4g
ottorbox:
http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Inf...color=20&start=1&cgid=samsung-infuse-4g-cases
casemate:
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Infuse-4G-Cases/Case-Mate-Samsung-Infuse-4G-Tough-Cases.asp
my main reason for asking is:
the thickness of the cases and how well it does in day to day life...( i can see the ottorbox is bit on the bulky side hence why im asking)
and
how is the screen protector on the case mate tough case?
i posted the sites of both the cases.
any help is appreciated

I'd go with the casemate over an otter, but check out my case.

Shared it in another thread. It's very protective and non-bulky.

The incipio silicrylic is a very nice case.

Good choice of case.

Both are nice. I'd go with the Otterbox I suppose.
I love my Ballistic HC case. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Infuse-Ballistic-Black-Holster/dp/B005BTBGEO

Personally I will always stand by otterbox. Great cases

I love my Otterbox...
I originally had one for my iPhone, and dropped it at work from, seriously no joke, 20 feet up... not a scratch on the phone itself.
Just a little gouge in the case, but the phone still worked flawlessly!

Need opinions of a new case.

I currently have the cruzerlite tpu case. I was dumb enough to get the clear one and its now a great shade of brown/yellow. Since I am in Canada with the shipping costs of most cases they all work out to be the same cost, so I figured I would grab something with a little more protection.
The whole reason I got the case in the first place was to give the phone a little more grip since the one x is a little slippy.
If I was looking for a case around the same bulk, with equal grip, and slightly better protection what would be the best choices currently?

amzer snap on case or the silicone case?

Well I decided to get the Incipio Silicrylic, seems to be a good mix of looks and protection. Would the black or the grey look better with the white one x though?
Not a fan of the blue.

Wish I had seen this earlier. I just got the Seidio Active with the kickstand and love it. Protects the phone, and looks good while doing it. Couldn't recommend it more.

I'm actually kind of interested in the trident Aegis case I'm not sure if you've looked at that one.

Perhaps that is a reasonable choice for those taking their phone to the battlefield. For the rest of us the commuter seems like a drastic overkill.
When I got my HOX I test drove the Incipio Feather and NGP. The Feather was too minimal and a bit slippery. I love the NGP.

Best case for HTC One X

Hello fellow one X owners,
I am new to the community, thanks to Toaster Strudels. Anyways, I am looking for a case, costs are not an issue. What are some of the best cases to get for this device?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you, I will be looking into those cases

I like the Seidio Active line, myself. I've used them on all of my Android phones and they offer great protection without adding much weight or bulk.

I bought the ballistic slim case, it should be arriving tomorrow. Seems decent, I bought other ballistic cases and was overall satisfied with them

That one protects very well. Just doesn't look too pretty haha

Just purchased a incipio silicrylic, looking into the candyshell and feather cases now

Cool man! I don't doubt you will like it. I'm staying tuned to this thread as I have a bit of a case addiction.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

My wife uses the incipio sillicrylic it is a nice case, however I just cant stand the case being loose on the sides of my phone. I am using the speck candyshell and it is built well with no flapping of the inner layers.
The only knock against the candyshell is don't plan on taking it off and on a lot it is a beast to get the case off the phone.

Right now I'm using the Speck Candyshell with a Steinheil ultra crystal (I think) screen protector. I cn honestly say that out off all the cases I've used on all the phones I've owned, it seriously is amazing. Best one I've ever used. I always had an issue with dust, dirt, lint, or whatever else getting into my cases. So I started cleaning them every day. Well with this case, it's not an issue one bit!! It's a hybrid case. So it has a rock hard outer shell, with a nice hard silicone inside. The corners are almost "split" So if you drop it, the silicone will absorb all of the impact. Also, the edges on the front around the screen are all that same hard silicone. Couple it with a good seen protector and your good to go!!
Since its a hybrid case it doesn't add much thickness to the phone at all. It's amazing. Buttons all work perfect too.
It might be on the the expensive side, and a b*tch to get on and off at first... But it is WELL worth it!

I love my ROCK Quicksand case, looks great and adds no bulk, but grip. Won't protect your phone much, but.....be careful with it..

So the silicrylic case arrived today I do like it however the loose silicone does bother me a little bit.
Also the ballistic slim case is not what I anticipated it to be. I'll probably be selling that and picking up the candyshell or feather case.
Thank you all for the feedback up to this point I do appreciate it greatly.

When playing with the silicone, yeah it is (compared to the Ballistics case for instance) but in real use it's treated me well. Did you get the incipio in a color other than black? If so, I may be interested in purchasing from you if you don't want it.

I got it in the grey/volt or neon whatever you want to call it. I will keep you in mind if I decide to part with it. I found it on ebay for 14.99 I believe
As for now I am going to price the other cases and go from there.

Cases

What are some of the best looking cases out there ? Plain cases like the otter box and that not with designs and stuff. And also some battery backup cases.

I use and love the nillkin TPU case. Had a few others, but went back to this. I love it because it is sleek and has a lip to protect the camera:

I just ordered a bag-o-cases from cruzerlite when they were giving away 30% off coupons. I love their designs, but don't like that there is no protection for the camera, but we will see:

I'm preferential to this case:

It's thin; offers protection for the screen, camera, and body; has the cool dual-textured back; and grips my car's console so my phone doesn't go flying around the car while I drive.

Do you know if anyone else is selling the clear black nillkin case?

I bought THIS a while back and have been happy with it. It was cheap. It feels good in the hand. It doesn't add that much bulk to the phone, (i.e. otterbox type stuff), and gives a bit more security for drops than just a TPU or silicone case. Only problem I've had with it is it peels up the screen protector on the bottom right corner. So yeah, good purchase for under $4.

Thanks for the link. The phone my cousin gave came with an otterbox case. Didn't like it. I really like the nillkin one. Found a grey one. Hopefully same as clear black.

I prefer the otter box defender series, ya its bulky but its tougher than nails. I have dropped this thing from 20 ft up and no scratches or broken parts.

Gotta agree with the otter box. I couldn't find the commuter series in my local store so I bought the defender and falcon pawnched the screen out and BAM instant commuter series.

In really liking the Seidio Active case. It's stylish and had protected my phone through a few rough drops.

Is the seidio active a one piece design? For some reason it looks like a 2 piece to me?

I have a speck case (which I bought from at&t, the day after the phone was released). It looks horrendous, but it does it's job. It's been over a year since it's release, and I've seen some good ones over the web (usually just browse random mobile websites). You'll come across something you like.
I've gone to not using a case though, as I really like the slim candybar feel.

I used to use an Otterbox...but the port covers fell off so I tried the Trident Kraken. The case looks really nice but it is SUPER BULKY. I was surprised at first how big the case was. I like the case and the how it looks...but I probably wouldn't buy it again

That's what I got after I ditched the otterbox. The kraken ams case is average at best. Bulky as **** and the top left part of the plastic piece that fits on the screen side decided to to snap and break. Didn't drop it or anything just pulled it out of my pocket weird and the skinny piece of plastic snapped clean in two. I have since taken the outer plastic shell off and have been using the silicone innards as a case. Doesn't even fit right and its entirely too loose to really be useful. I don't have a choice until I get another case.
Thinking about getting either he incipio hard shell or whatever its called or a seidio active

I got the ottorbox commuter (way cheaper on amazon then retail)
Got it after my screen shattered after dropping it 4 feet in a tpu case.
Absolutely love it. Not too bulky and great protection (check YouTube videos)
(The only time I wouldn't recommend it is if y need to take it out of the case frequently cuz its a pita)

I had this a while ago:
http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...feather-shine-ultralight-hard-shell-case.html
Was really nice while it lasted, unfortunately the corners started cracking. Really damn sexy case though, everyone who saw it was like "Whats that??!?"
Overall though, I can't recommend it since it cracked. I've been running caseless for a while now. Its nice.
