Just walked out of best buy with the Pt (Seidio) Surface case and I really like it! I'll post a review in a couple days but I can already tell this is going to become my daily case from here on out (at least until my Incipio Silicrylic comes in a few days lol). I really like the way they did the power and volume buttons, makes them really easy to press. Plus, it came with a really nice holster. $35 + tax. Man I really need to stop buying cases.

I had that case too in white. I found the front part of the case covered too much of the sides of the screen taking away from the nice design of the phone. It also felt a little waxy to me. Other then that it did provide good protection and it was one of the few all white cases out.

I think I have the same one (black/grey color). I actually like the waxy feel of it. To me, it's similar to the feel of the phone's matte texture on the back, so it almost feels like there is no case on it. It's thin and light, but still sinks in the camera a little. The easy-pressing-ness of the buttons is also a huge plus. I really like it!
There is a video review for the case on HTC Pedia, if you want to check it out:

Well I like it so far. It's a little thick but I think it's a really nice case.
Well that's good to hear. Methinks it makes the phone look like a gadget batman would carry. ( in a good way )

Is this the same case sold online by seidio?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Appears a bit thick that case. Assume it offers good protection though.
The only issue I have with my Diztronic is that there is no back camera/raised section to protect the lens and flash. You set it down, the camera is right on the surface, stupid design that is an easy fix they chose not to do.
I ordered a Nillsen off ebay and am going to give that one a try, it is basically the same TPU with protection for the camera/flash and some rough edges to grip.
Got mine today. Extremely impressed with it , and that's coming from someone who goes through tons of cases.

I don't think anything can ever take me away from the nillkin TPU case. I am so impressed with it. I love the matte backside and how it does not leave fingerprints, the grips on the side and most importantly the camera protection. this case does not leave ANY gap around the camera and has a nice sloped lip around the camera lense. The best camera protection that I have seen on any case I've ever owned.
All of this from a slim, sleek TPU case!
I do not work for this company, just sharing how incredibly impressed with this case. Check it out!

My only gripe with this case, which isn't a big one is that it covers the bottom row of the speaker holes :-/ May just be my case though

Ha. Be careful! I know how you like to change cases a lot...this may ruin it for you!!!
could one of you guys post a review for the nillkin case? that looks really tempting. thin, and covers camera it seems. thanks
So I was browsing ebay for cheap hard shell cases for a DIY project when I stumbled upon these cheap cases. I bought a couple and they got to me from China to Los Angeles as early as 4 business and one case lagged behind and arrived 8 business days later. Overall shipping was really fast. Overall the cases are really nice and snug but one thing that stood out the most was it's very easy to remove from the case. With the Ringke Slim Case, I would worry about scratching the chrome bezel but this thing pops out like a charm yet it snug enough for me to not worry about it coming out on its own. Will i the phone pop out if I drop it? Doubt it.
These cases are super slim and you can actually see the Nexus logo through the case. It's not noticeable unless you look for it and even then, it's very faint but that just gives you the idea of how slim it is. The plastic feels close to what the rubberized plastic feels like on the nexus so it feels good in the hand and actually feels like a premium case in my opinion. I own a couple Ringke cases, a poetic bumper, and various flip cases and this $2 case is my favorite out of them all. For those who have the Ringke case and a back skin protector, you'll notice two lines streaming down the back, this doesn't cause that. I have the Best Skins Ever skin protector on the back and have no issues with it. I do not have a front screen protector so I can't comment on how it would act with one. Now of course there are some minor annoyances defects with this case, it's a cheap $2 Chinese case, but the pros greatly out weigh the cons and they are only cosmetic. The one thing that this case has that stands out for the rest is that it has a cut out for the sim tray, something I haven't seen on any other case and may or may not be a downside. For me, I don't mind. Also pushing the power button may take some getting used to but it's not an issue. Other than that I love the hell out of this case and I'm glad I bought a bunch and it has a logo-less design! I'll upload some pics below.
Pro's
*No Logos
*Feels premium
*No streaks on the back of the phone like Ringke
*Cheap
*Fast shipping
*Super lightweight and thin
*Doesn't interfere with back skin protectors
*Has a rubberized plastic feel
*Looks amazing in person
*Sim tray cut out
Cons
*Very minor cosmetic blemishes
Tl;Dr: Overall I love it more than any other case I have bought including the slim Rearth case. Definite buy. For something $2 it definately feels better than those $10+, $20+ cases

In one of the pictures, you'll see a little bit of excess plastic and there's a seam that runs along side the case. You can't feel it but you can clearly see it. Those are the only cosmetic blemishes and can me remedied easily.
thanks for the review! for me the biggest con's that I've picked out right away are the lack of protection for the top and the bottom of the phone, rendering it 1/2 way useless, considering 1/2 times the phone drops on it's top/bottom. I might have looked at the case wrong, but from the photos, it seems like there are only sides and back protection.

Yeah the top and bottom are exposed and for some reason imgur only uploaded half the photos I wanted. This is my personal opinion on the case and I can see how the top and bottom exposed would be an issue for some. It completely went over my head on that part. For ~$2 I would still pick one up to play with. Originally this was meant fit a diy project but it won me over as a plain case

It looks like the seller is also selling TPU cases for $2.33. I have yet to find a TPU case that I like for this thing. Maybe I'm just too anti-cases in general.

rubberized?
I'm interested in a bumper as well but I'd prefer a rubber one, similar to the one iPhone 4 got after the Antennagate scandal.
RE: Aluminium Bumper
I just received mine after ordering it last week and it fits pretty well. Looks a few nano-meters off at some places and build quality i'd put at 8.5/10 but for a bumper under $15 i'd say go for it.
Also i got the silver brushed aluminium one and based on the design quality, id say the blue one would get scuffed pretty easily.
Hope this helped...if it did you know where the thanks button is :cyclops:

I ordered and received three different ones from Amazon:
rooCASE
Photive Hybrid
Poetic
All three of these are EXACTLY the same. No difference at all. So, if you want one of these, order the cheapest one.
I also ordered a couple others, which have not yet been received:
Case Square
KaysCase
I hope that these other two will be softer. The top ones are harder plastic.
UPDATE - These two are a little softer, but both have a cutout on one of the corners for a strap, which makes damage more likely if you drop it. I've stuck with the first models above, and been happy. One thing I especially like is that these bumpers aren't slick, so they very slightly stick in your pocket, making it so that they won't fall out unless you pull them out - nice.
With my S2 I used to have the Neo Hybrid EX bumper, and that was the perfect bumper - silicone inside, harder plastic outside. Spigen didn't make this for the S3, so we probably won't see it for the S4 either, unfortunately.
i ordered the grey Aluminum one last night. ill be lucky to get it in like 3 weeks. haha

im waiting for this to come in the mail. does anyone have experience with this case. i mainly bought it for the finger grips and that it has rubber buttons. it doesnt have a name brand tho
Considering they don't make an otterbox(yet) and the only available tough case is the casemate(which is out of stock currently) I ordered this
Stealth Ranger Case
(http://www.ion-factory.com/Xperia-Z_StealthRanger.php)
Allegedly, it's supposed to be extremely durable, I will keep you guys posted once I have it in hand.
It's also on ebay

did you check on the case mate website and Amazon? usually one will have stock if the other doesn't.
that case looks cool but doesn't look like it would protect the phone if it dropped screen size down.

Yea, the casemate site directly, said it was "temporarily out of stock", ebay the only tough one available in to order in the US at the time of looking would make my xperia look like a tangerine, I did check amazon too, but I find that if I were to get a dual layer case for it, it would be the body glove diamond case, it's about half the price, and doesn't look too different, and yes I'm aware how silly I sound thinking about the cost of a case considering what I just paid for this phone lol
very nice case, its subtle, thin, has a good feel to it, if you need something more rugged, I would suggest either the body glove diamond case, or the case mate tough case.
