I returned my SGS2 Skyrocket today. I will not be maintaining this thread. If anyone wants to start a new one, here is the source.
VERY IN PROGRESS - This is merely an idea of what's to come. Suggestions and help welcome!
Hello all. I decided it would be good to have one thread in which all the popular Skyrocket accessories were consolidated, but I couldn't find one, so I decided to make one. If a links to an XDA thread is greyed out, I couldn't find a thread for that particular accessory.
It's worth noting that T-Mobile SGS2 cases will not work with your Skyrocket as the speaker is in a different location.

Is it Barely there in aluminum? The aluminum backing is garbage.
BTW Seidio has cases too!
Seido has 2 versions of their cases available, as well as a universal USB Stand.
I own the Surface and Active Combos and highly recommend them if you like a belt clippable case (The Active has a kickstand too if you are into that kind of thing)

Edit for Clarification: I don't own stock in Seido or work for them, but have had their cases on most of my phones and have had good experiences. If you like Silicone/Rubbery type cases the otter-box Impact was the first case I tried with the Skyrocket.

I like the ability to have a belt clip for each of their options, but SHEESH. Not cheap. If you buy separately, the holster alone is $30. A but overpriced if you ask me...but they seem well done...

Wow I really like those rearth cases. Never seen those before, kinda like the Seidio cases but the slim looks a lot slimmer than any other cases out there. Really wonder if either of the cases will fit in the seidio holsters. If anyone out there has an rearth case and knows someone with a seidio holster can you check if it fits?? Thanks in advance!!!
Amazon has OEM (NFC) 1850mAh batteries from multiple sellers from $23-30. Just ordered one. I can post an update when I get it how/if they actually work if anyone's interested. Serial numbers are the exact same, but it wouldn't hurt to verify.

Absolutely let us know how they work (apparently some non-OEM batteries won't charge in the phone, etc). If they work, thats not a terrible price.

I'll check. Conveniently got an Amazon giftcard from my brother today, so I had to buy it, lol. It says it's for the Hercules, but the serials are the same (EB-L1D7IBA), so I don't see why there would be an issue. Time will tell!
Here are the links for a few of the listings. The one I got was the last one the seller had, so those aren't available anymore, but there still are a few out there with plenty:

What case is everyone using?
Exactly what the title asks.
This is not a thread for what you think is the best case out there. This thread is for you to post what case/s you use and your experiences with it/them.
It is also to help other users find new cases that they may like.
This thread will also be used for cleaning up the clutter of people starting new threads asking about cases they should use.
Maybe include a link if you think it's good.
Right now, I am naked and so is my phone. Only have a tempered glass protector on it.
As of now, the options will be limited, but this thread will explode as more cases become available.
No case, and no screen protector for me on any of my devices. Have never had a scratch or any other damage to any of my phones.
My Spigen Neo Hybrid Came in today - and I am very impressed with the quality of this case. I had the Spigen Neo Hybrid on my S5 and S4 and while I liked the case for those phones, the aluminum shell was kind of flimsy and while it looked good - it was not as durable as I might have liked - in fact the metal around the hole for the battery broke on one of the cases I was using.
After getting the new Neo Hybrid case, it looks and feels more like a premium case - the metal surrounding the case is very solid and has a very premium feel to it. All in all it adds a very nice level of protection without adding bulk - and it keeps that very high end feel that comes with the NOTE 4 outside of the case.
FYI - I have also installed a BODY GLOVE Screen Protector - it took a little getting used to at first - it does not cover the glass from side to side because of the curved edges - but it does cover the viewing area quite well and looks good too.

I got talked into a case at the T-Mobile store. They only had one to choose from, the Samsung S-View Flip Cover. I'm really liking it. The shell is thin and slightly hard, and I can access customized settings through the window without having to open the case.
It was $50, and at first I was going to go back and return it but after having it for a day I'm going to keep it.

You can get 50% off on that case directly from Samsung as a gift for registering your N4 with them. They give you 50% off on all of their accessories priced at $49.99 or less, you can order up to five accessories.

I an still probably going to buy a case just to have some protection before Otterbox gets released. And If sprint store doesn't honor Samsung coupon, then when the online order shows up, I'm returning original back to sprint...
I'm waiting for Seidio to release their Dilex cases. Had one for the note 3 and I love the metal kickstand. I'm hesitant on buying the Spigen Slim/Tough armor because I'm hearing bad things about the plastic kickstand.
Received my Neo Hybrid in Satin Silver, it is really nice, just need phone to put in it
I went with the White Spigen Slim Armor case for now, and may order the Slate or Champagne Gold (or both) later.

Using a Spigen Neo Hybrid Metal Slate case on my Note 4 right now. Otterbox Commuter case is ordered and on its way. Using Ringke screen protector(from Ringke fusion).
To hold me until I find something more protective that gets substantial positive feed-back, I'm now using the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Crystal Clear that I bought during the (now dead?) Spigen early-morning sales for $3.49 + $3.00 shipping. So far so good.
I'm using Spigen Ultra Hybrid case too. But is mint on the grip with clear back.

Before 2010, i used screen protectors and cases, because old smartphones (and PDAs) would scratch easily, not the case anymore, and since 2010 my phones is naked 100%
I keep jumping back and forth between naked and the Grey S-View.
Mostly the Spigen capsule in metal slate, the first of many Spigen cases i liked. And now the Obliq rugged slim case in Grey.

I ordered that one too, waiting for it to arrive in a few days. What I am looking forward to see is a case (like on my Note2) that replaces the back cover and only has a flap that covers the screen. This type of "case" is the thinnest and for me the most interesting. they are not available yet for the Note 4 though. here is a video of what I mean
I'll get my body glove satin case in black color in early of November, but won't be able to photo it with the phone, I'm waiting for samsung in my country release it's bronze gold color. lol
That will take long time
i ordered this one here loved the way it looked and it has a cover for your s-pen and lots of colors http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MP3OZME/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hi guys, I was wondering if some of you has this combo? I bought a couple of 1$ cases from ebay and they didn't accommodate my Galaxy S4 i337 with a thick tempered glass protector on. may be other suggestions for a matte nice case which won't break budget
thanks

I don't know how thick my screen protector is, but I purchased a Casemate Tough case from WalMart for $20 and have had no issues with it.
Go in to WalMart and do a test fit before you purchase.

Thanks for the info, I went to bestbuy and found out that Speck CandyShell Grips works for me! Very nice case btw, about $5 from several ebay sellers! Not much bulk, great grip (as its name says), stylish! Fit on my SGS4 with 0.4mm glass perfectly!
Accessory makers are now setting up pre-orders for M9 case, cool and best cases are now showing up in tech shopping sites ItsSkins, Spigen RooCase and other companies already started to offer cases.
Just share here your best founding here.
I am exciting about the new m9
Will do a rank of the case, many reviews, I really hope I can help people to find out the proper cases meet the needs
Ill buy tech armor protectors and a diztronic or tech impact 21 black case. Thats what i had for my m8.
http://mimeusa.com/ has added HTC One (M9) to their dropdown menu listing HTC phones they have tempered glass screen protectors for. The link doesn't go anywhere yet but it pretty much confirms that they'll be making screen protectors for it. I'm planning on getting the 0.15mm Feather Glass screen protector. (I'm hoping it will be the Feather+ Glass with rounded edges that they have for iPhone 6)
I'm not sure yet. I might start with one of the official cases and get a Spiegen on discount.
It's so hard to tell for screen protectors until there are some reviews.... Like with the iphone 6, like NONE of the companies had a good screen protector for my daughter's phone for about a month after the phone came out
htc m9 glass screen protectors
i have been using the following brands for years and can vouch for them both
Casebase
Orzly
I can see links on amazon for both companies.
http://www.amazon.com/Orzly®-Temper...&keywords=htc+m9+orzly+glass+screen+protector
http://www.amazon.co.uk/CaseBase®-P...425420774&sr=8-1&keywords=htc+m9+glass+screen
I hope this helps. The casebase twin pack is really good value. Iv always trusted Orzly because i like there cases. Both companies have a good range of cases online as well
I will buy ivoler case,I once bought the iVoler dot view case for my M8, I absolutely love it. I work for Sprint and I use my phone all day everyday between work and at home. I have to say it has the "wow" factor as well as very usable gestures. I have used several flip case's like this in the past and have had up and down thoughts about them, however this is the best out of all that I have used. Some reviews say that it makes the phone awkward to use with the flap open, however in all honesty anytime you use a case like this its not the same as a naked phone or regular case. The rubber that makes up the front is very soft and is easy to manipulate while folded back, and I have had no problems with it staying flat on the screen. I have carried the phone in levi's as well as slacks and the rubber surprisingly doesn't grab or make it hard to go in and out of the pocket. I did receive the gray case not the black, however I believe the warm black was intended to be this color. I would highly recommend this case to anybody, you will not be dissatisfied unless you have never used a flip style case and at that point you may not like it. Well worth the try and the money!!!
Came across this video on YouTube, features quite a few cool cases. You might want to pause the video to read up on the pros and cons as it goes a little too quick.
I'm hoping for the dot view to come out soon, if not I'll go for a fusion, love that it shows off the back of the phone.
I have used a few of the Aerios branded screen protectors recently and they seem quite good.
http://www.gadgets4geeks.com.au/aerios-2x-clear-film-screen-protector-for-htc-one-m9
Still waiting on availability.
What I pre-ordered for the M9 @ Amazon UK
Spigen Neo Hybrid (Gunmetal)
Spigen Ultra Hybrid (Crystal clear)
Spigen Screen protector (Crystal)
For better protection I'm thinking a Otterbox / Ballistic case will do.

What about Seidio cases, I've always used this maker of phone case on all the phones that I have ever purchased. I think one of the best out. Now they are making waterproof cases as well.
Don't own a Seidio case but they are well regarded. Signed up for the mailing list.
This is one I'll be purchasing once I get my hands on an M9:

Not sure I'm a huge fan of all that bulk...
IMO Incipio and Spigen make the best cases out of any manufacturer. Sure Otterbox and a few others make cases that provide more protection, but when it comes to quality & style Spigen and Incipio are King.

It doesn't seem like it would provide that great of protection, I want a case that's decently rugged but doesn't look it. Maybe this case? https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Rugge...&qid=1551115672&sr=8-5&keywords=s10+plus+case
What cases are you guys getting??
Otterbox defender plus. I have been an avid Otterbox supporter since I got my first one, which I believe was for my Galaxy S6. I have owned multiple variants, but since I have been known to be a little rough with phones I need their top of the line model to feel safe.
Just ordered the UAG blacked out Monarch, Pathfinder and Otterbox Symmetry cases.
I have bought two for my S10+ at very decent price.

Otterbox Symmetry eh? You must be fairly careful and gentle with your phone.
I have this case on my PIxel 3 that I'm trading in and love it. It's super slim and has a grainy texture similar to the black sandstone from the One Plus phones.
https://www.amazon.com/anccer-Compa...m+Cover+for+Samsung+Galaxy+S10+-+Gravel+Black
I'm gonna start off with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear case for everyday use. Ideally, I want a case that's gonna stop me from accidentally palming the Edge screen as that annoyed the hell out of me on the S7 Edge I had for a couple of months. So if anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to them!

I'm using rhinoshield case on oneplus6 trash and it is the best case I have ever owned on all my phones.

I'm looking forward when root and custom rom is ready and get the phone.
also, screen glass protector must be ready as well.
I don't understand why sams cannot offer their own glass protector.
without it I do not want use my phone.
Ive had the spigen neo hybrid for 2 devices in a row with no issues, though it looks redesigned from the version I currently have. Either going with that or Spigen Slim Armor which looks more along the lines of my current neo hybrid.
