Hi all,
Just thought I'd add my bit to the forum and show you the Casemate Tough Case on Video in black and pink.
More Colours are available from the Casemate site directly.
The case is my favourite case because it gives me the ultimate protection for my Xperia without the added bulk.
This case in particular is nice and slim but with enough protection.
Some of the cons:
Not all corners are covered due to the location of various ports (you'd have to be really unlucky to drop the phone that way though).
Have a look for yourself at the VIDEO
Let me know what you think.

Hello Guys,
I ordered multiple cases for my S5 & they were delivered today, yes on a SUNDAY !!!
Some words about all of them since it might help you decide on the ONE..
1. Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit
http://goo.gl/pj1lX5
Looks good & is very very light. Just Like other Cruzerlite cases & yes it has a pretty good looking Android logo on its back, both outside and inside.
2. TUDIA Ultra Slim Melody TPU Bumper Protective Case
http://goo.gl/Y8NIjB
This is also equally good & light weight as Cruzerlite, the best part of this case is the extra lining around the camera which makes sure the camera lens does not touch the surface.
3. Spigen Case Protective [Satin Silver]
http://goo.gl/rcwBdX
Looks better, much better than both of the above, silver plastic ring around the phone gives it a different look.
The phone feels much bigger & wider, tough to both apply & remove because of plastic ring.
Let me know if you have questions. As of now I am happy with my purchase.
Will update the post in case I see any issues.
I am attaching some pics for your reference.
I agree the Spigen case definately looks better than the rest
You can find this at http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-s5-case-ultra-fit-shell.html although I bought mine off Amazon.
This case is slim fit and snaps on. It looks great, fits snugly, and gives good access to all ports. The color matches up with the gold s5 extremely well. As opposed to the cases that have a separate back and rim, this adds almost nothing at all to the bulk of the phone. it feels like it will take drops and bumps well without cracking. As with all slim-fit snap-on shells I would not expect this to protect the screen. I do expect that it will do a very good job of protecting the body from scratches and bumps. It is not padded so it won't ease the shock of a drop. The Spigen page doesn't claim anything more than a good grip and that it will "help prevent the case from accidental drops". It's made of plycarbonate with urethane coating.
This case came with a Steinheil ultra crystal screen protector. The protector is cut perfectly for the screen and I was able to reposition it as necessary. It is indeed crystal clear. I haven't had it on long enough to test for scratch endurance.
Overall I love this case. It's my new favorite.

Thanks for the review!!! Is the case slippery? Yes they say it has a good grip but how is it actually in real life use?
That link for the case at the spigen website doesnt work just so you know. But youcan just google spigen s5 case and it will show up. Awesome review bro!

I have one of their Neo cases, the "bronze" finish soon started to wear off exposing the white plastic underneath.
just something to be aware of,

Dustin,
Like your reviews, thanks!
Have you come across a case that snaps in to a clip holster like a Seidio Surface or Dilex?
Thanks,

My Orzly Flexislim will arrive tomorrow. It almost 4X more expensive frm my current Nilkin Nature case. Nilkin is good but i missed Simplism Ultrathin for Z1. The material is perfect & super thin. For Z2 & later device, they changed with shame disappointing material. Lets see how good orzly really is
⚅ χρєʀια™ z5
Orzly Flexislim is the best thinnest case so far!
✓ χρєʀια™ z5
Has anyone put one of the flexislim cases on the Green Z5? I'm wondering how it looks
From orzly cases i will only consider the fusion bumper in black if i don't mind covering the sides because it seems like there are better cases for preserving more of the beauty of sony design. Fusion bumper clear sides are matte, not transparent and the thinner one is all matte. For all transparency it seems that spigen ultra hybrid clear or spigen liquid crystal (thinner but with less protection) are better options.
Thanks for the advice! I have one very much like the fusion bumper but with clear sides. It's OK, but the back plastic picks up so much fingerprints. I was considering the Orzly matte "smoke white" one as it sort of looks like the colour might still show through to a certain degree. With the clear one with all the reflections and fingerprints you don't notice the colour too much, especially with the gel part being a little bit rounded. Also I don't really like the feel of gel or plastic, I assume the matte one has a slightly matte feel to it which I might like. I might just have to take the plunge and get one and see how it goes.
Anyone get the Spigen cases for the Z5?

I didnt buy any spigen cases. Those guys are not what they used to be and i dnt feel there cases are that good
I have brought the flexicase shown in the above video. The case fits perfectly and my phone still looks very slim whilst giving it some protection against knocks and scratch's. I would highly recommend it
Please can you tell us how does the real product look like? As you can see in the photo on the official site the cut on the back camera is different from the cut shown on every other site, like Amazon, where the cut gets an oval triangular shape.

Mine are straight off amazon so im guessing the stock photo is wrong
Hey XDA! I wanted to drop a review for the Poetic Revolution case here. I hope you enjoy!
The Packaging:
The case comes packaged in a clear plastic bag for simple presentation. While nothing fancy, it does the job and keeps the case more affordable.
The Look & Feel:
To start, this case definitely screams and looks "RUGGED"! It has a very industrial look and is daring you to drop your phone. This case definitely looks the role of its "rugged" moniker. The frame is a rubber TPU material that definitely helps with grip, and the phone is nice to hold because of it. There are some textures on the TPU that add more to the look than anything else, but they do add a little more grip as well. There are also 3 protruding lines on the top and bottom of each side which add to the rugged look and add grip. Then there is the "Revolution" name engraved into the TPU on the right side of the case (looking at the case from the back of the phone). The back of the case is made of a hard polycarbonate plastic. This definitely adds to the protection element of the case which I will touch on later. Then you have "Poetic" branding on the bottom of the back set in a rubber section. Nice little touch. There are also 3 strips of rubber on each side of the case on the back to add more grip to the case. To wrap things up, there are some faux screws on the corners to complete that rugged and industrial look. To summarize, this case isn't for people who like slim cases. This simply isn't a slim case and it doesn't try to be.
The Features:
This case has a few built-in features that I wanted to touch on. I will start with the built-in kickstand. It feels metal to me and it feels solid. It is easy to open and close and I don't get a flimsy feel from it at all. That is a nice tough. There are also port covers built in which will keep dust and some of the elements out of your ports which I think is great. Yes, it creates a bit of a hassle to charge your phone, plug in headphones, etc., but I think they are fitting in a rugged protection case like this. There is also a loop that you can hook something through to carry your case. I thought it was a nice touch. And last is the built-in screen protector. It is made of plastic and doesn't seem to be able to be removed. I'm in between on this one. I kinda wish there wasn't one since so many people get their own screen protectors nowadays and tempered glass screen protectors are popular right now. Also, there was a slight gap in between the screen protector and the screen of the phone so I had to press down harder to generate key presses. To Poetic's credit, I have a tempered glass screen protector already installed on my phone, so that may have affected the functionality of it. So I am not going to knock the case for this one, I will chalk it up as undecided.
**EDIT** Poetic has contacted me about the issue I was having with the built-in screen protector. They said have anything else on the screen will definitely affect the functionality of the built-in screen protector, which I figured. However, they are still going to have their production team look into it to make sure nothing got past them. That's pretty cool in my book!
The Protection:
On the protection front, I would say it is definitely heavy duty grade. It is advertised as "shock absorption" and I can't say I disagree at all. This case is definitely a tank that seems like it will keep your phone safe from some pretty major drops. I never test drop protection in my reviews because my phones are personal phones paid for with my own money, so I can't take that risk. But it definitely feels like it can withstand some heavy drops. The hard polycarbonate plastic on the back and the solid construction definitely make this case a heavy hitter in the Otterbox tier of cases. As I said in my look & feel section, this case isn't for the slim case lovers. But it's not marketed that way and just from the photos you can tell that much. This case should do the job in rough situations.
The Build:
To keep this pretty simple, this is a well made case with a small hiccup. The case feels good and substantial enough to be completely confident in it. The small hiccup that I've noticed are that the buttons are the easiest things in the world to press. It's not terrible, but it will take a little bit of force to generate the press. Overall, not a deal breaker by any means, but I wanted to mention it.
What I Like:
The build quality
The looks
The built-in kickstand
The protection
The price
What I Don't Like:
The buttons
The Verdict:
Overall, this case is a win. It is well made, should protect a very good amount, and has the looks to match. And all at a reasonable price. Other than a minor issue, I have no problem recommending this case to anyone in the market for a rugged case that will protect your expensive phone.
The Score:
9/10

Today I just picked up a mint condition Moto X 2014, customized on top of customized. Black face with black front accents and a bamboo back with a silver frame and silver rear accents. I couldn't ask for a better color combination. Now I'm having trouble picking out a case. Of course I want the bamboo to show, but I also want to keep the metal from getting dinged up. And even more so, I want to protect the glass edges on the front. I'd like to get a bumper, but Hula is the only backless rubber bumper I've found. Unfortunately, nobody has them in black at the moment, and I don't like the colors that are currently available. I also don't like the look of the 100% clear rubber cases on a black face.
So, has anybody tried one of the metal bumpers found all over eBay? I like the look but I'm concerned that a metal bumper on the metal frame would cause scratches. Or even worse, if the metal bumper were to abrade against the wood back there could be scratches or gouges in the finish. Any experience or opinions here?
Also, does anybody know of a rubber bumper case with an open back besides the Hula? Or even better, a rubber case that has black edges and a full clear back? I'll probably end up getting a Supcase Unicorn Beetle for now because that's as close as I can find. But the back of the Supcase is opaque, not fully clear, and it has colored grip areas that intrude into the wood space on the sides of the back. I looked at the Poetic Affinity, but that looks too industrial for me. Especially when compared to the seriously awesome look of the naked Moto. I know I probably sound absurdly picky, but we're talking about a phone where one of it's most touted features is the ability to customize it, right?
Oh, and I tried to search the Accessories forum, but the search bar seems to be missing on my screen. So I spent the last 4 hours manually searching through the threads here and cross-referencing them with Google. If anybody has any ideas, suggestions or input, I'd be very happy to hear it. Especially if it involves customizing of accessories.

I have the same color combination on my phone.
I have the SUPCASE, black surround with frosted back. The actual frosting on mine is very slight, almost perfectly clear.
I also found this case on Amazon which might fit your needs:
http://www.amazon.com/Moto-Case-Pro..._UL160_SR160,160_&refRID=19ZQH1HS8H411V2A8573
I am currently using a Case-mate Gelli Case for Moto X. Same as this case sold through the Motorola store but I bought it through Ebay for much less:
http://www.motorola.com/us/consumers/cases-FLEXR2/
I like this case a little better than the other because it fits in my holster better and just feel better in my hand but it does not offer the same level of protection as the others.

That's the Poetic one that looks a little too rugged for me.

This one appears to have a black edge with a clear back which would be PERFECT if I could find it for sale anywhere. The Motorola site doesn't have any, the Case-mate site doesn't even list the Gelli series for our phone, and there's none to be found on eBay or Amazon. If you, or anyone else knows where I can get one, I'd be extraordinarily thankful. Or perhaps if someone on here has one to sell, I'm all ears.
