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...

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.

I got this one:

Super cheap, looks decent and has already protected the backing from a couple of dicey falls.
Hey guys,
I got the chance to review this case and made the video as usual. It is very thin, very light, however I am not comfortable leaving the top and bottom exposed.
Here it is! If you have any questions please just let me know

Just slapped mine on, like the raised corners for face down safety but agree the front of the top and bottom are pretty exposed. Nice fit and what I was looking for though. Nice review

whiel i like how slim it is. on mine, even with it face down, it'll wobble and it seems the screen is still touching because it slides soo easily like it does without the case.
the case without the phone doesn't wobble and it doesn't slide easily. maybe i have crooked one? doesn't feel like it though since there's no squeaking with the case on.
Just got mine and I'm liking it a lot, all we need is a case exactly like this one but covers the top and bottom as well, but yea this one is very nice

Odd I put mine face down in the dark and can see light all the way around except the corners. I am fairly positive it's not touching screen. The second case I got isn't as good of a fit though it is loose on the volume rocker side.

I've had mine for a week or so.
Pros:
Thin
Light
Cons:
Moves around too much directly over the volume controls. Not enough material there to be stiff enough so it tends to flex in that area.
There's an annoying ridge around the edge closest to the screen. Sort of like a line for the mold used to form the plastic. This makes it feel cheap.
I've got the "Ringke Fusion" case on order and hoping I like that better. If so, this one may be going back.

I was just wondering...to address the 'top and bottom bezel uncovered' issue, could we not apply one of those full body shield protectors, i.e those that protect the sides? Or would the case not fit with that on?

That'll protect from scratches but not from impact

I have this case and love it. I don't like to put cases on my phones but wanted to protect the glasses back so I got this. Protects the back while barely being noticeable, which is perfect for my tastes.

Got this case a couple days ago in white. So far so good. Thin and low profile. Dropped the phone yesterday, hit the corner and not a scratch or crack on the phone.
To those who have this case on, is it a snug fit or kind of lose? I'm asking because I just received the Spigen SGP Slim and it has a lose fit. Like you could shake it softly and feel the phone sliding around..kind of disappointed and if the Ringke Slim is snug, then I'm considering ordering that.

Mine is fit, and I actually have hard time taking it off the phone.

Man..I knew I should of ordered from Rearth instead since I had the slim case for the Gnex...thanks for the response. Haha

probably the tightest snuggiest case. IT's a b*tch to take off. Can nick the phone w/my fingernail trying to remove the case hence why I've been rocking it naked the past week..
Correct fitment is pretty tight . but I think this also makes it barely noticeable

Best case I've ever owned. And I hate cases.

I got my navy blue Ringke Slim (version 2) this morning and although the fit is superb and getting it back off if a challenge i am a little cheesed off that "soft touch" doesn't equate to grip like it would on a Case Mate Barely There.
Great case but i am tempted to put my 95p S Line jobbie back on.
Cheapo case back on and the Ringke Slim sold on, it needs to be more grippy.

Not a fan. The silicone is flimsy and our doesn't really cover the lip of the phone that well. Horrible case imo

I have one that I bought from tmobile and I love the case I accidentally dropped my phone from 3-4 feet and it saved my Gs4 totally. Nice case I just meed a screen protector any recommendations?price is no problem. Thanks

It's a minimal dual layer, I have one for my gs3, as well as an otterbox. The otterbox has more protection but you gain mass and heft. I like the incipio because it is slim but still offers good protection
I actually had this one on my phone and was paying for it in the store but I scrubbed the purchase before I could even check out. I think it looks really nice and will probably give good drop protection, but the flimsy silicone would drive me crazy. When you push the side buttons the silicone would buckle. The silicone in the top and bottom didn't fit snugly. JMO. Like I said I looked the way it looked. It was the brushed aluminum dual pro shine with black silicone. Just not snug enough of a fit for me.

I saved my phone from a 6 ft fall right onto the hard floor.I guess some people just dont know cases.

I have had this case on my S4 since I got the phone thru verizon, about 10 days . Black on black. I wanted a slim case with decent drop protection. This was a good compromise. The soft inner core does over lap on to the front of the screen a bit, wich is good as I can lay the phone face down without damaging the screen. The soft rubber inner core does attract lint where it is exposed, but I expected that.
so far I am happy with the case. But, I have not dropped it .....yet...:laugh:

Has anyone tried out Ghost armor? And feedback? Let me know thinking about getting full body with a matte finish or carbon fiber
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I was using ghost armor at the first I bought this phone, I love this screen guard.
easy installation and very tough surface.
i love beach, even a sand cannot scratch it
I recommend you to use one too
:thumbup:

I'm currently using ghost armor. It's a very good protector but there is a big issue. The case sometimes peels the protector from the screen. It gets worst if the device is hot and the weather is humid.
The store that glued it for me promised to redo it if something happens so I went there and they gave me a new protector. Don't know how long it will hold..

Do they even make it for the Nexus 4? I can't find it on their site.

as of right now I'm using the ringke fusion case but I'm not liking the bulky size, how easily broken is the back when it comes to bumper plus the skin for antiscratch or suck it up and use the case?
also can anyone recommend thinner case for the n4?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If you want true see through case you only have the rinkle and the bumper
If your not looking for true see through look for some transparent tpu cases out this plastic ones

I have the black leather d band skin and a poetic black bumper. Looks great. Prevents scratches. I rarely drop my phone, and when I have I felt the bumper defiantly helped from scuffing up the sides. I hate cases. Hopefully the n5 will not be do fragile, so in can go naked like I normally do.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
all though the bumper will add width to the device.. if you have small hands it might be an issue, like it did for me lol. Ive been wanting to try the poetic bumper but cant seem to find on amazon nor ebay, the color i want that is.
Also, the back is not drop protected with the dbrand skin, even tho you wont see it if its cracked either. So its a win win
