Hi I've been a lurker for a while pyt this is my first post and I was wondering if anyone had good recommendations for cases with a frontlip for the one x. I switch from the iPhone 3gs and was using the incase slider that a had a really nice design and saved my phone many times. I was the wondering if anyone knows of a similar case that won't scratch my phone like the incase did.

Loving my Case-mate "Smooth" purchased from expansys. Semi-rigid with a great hand feel. Recommended. No cutout for the contacts on the back though.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium HD. In between FCs.
I did see that case I how big is the lip on the front. And does it feel cheap at all or does it collect a lot of lint because those are my only problems with some gel and tpu cases.

Feels very well made, fits tightly. You might have a tiny struggle getting it on at first, but you'll manage. The lip over the sides comes just far up enough to cover the seams on the glass. And because of its rigidity, it doesn't buckle to reveal the seams. I'm very satisfied with it.
One flaw I found - and it's been on both units I purchased - was a little unfinished cutting on the bottom edge of the camera lens cutout. Probably something in manufacturing where they cut it from the mold or whatever. It bothered me enough to get a return authorization, but it dawned on me (again) that life's too short to give a crap about ridiculous things like this so I never returned it. In fact, I bought the second unit for a buddy of mine instead.

I bought the Incipio Feather and NGP. The feather is going back the NGP is staying. This is a somewhat overpriced but well made and well fitting TPU case (semi-soft). Feels much more secure in my hand and less likely to slip than the Feather, though admittedly not as sleek. the Speck cases on the iPhone seem to offer good protection, but the only ones I saw in the AT&T store were ugly red and bright blue, I am not a teenager, no way I am putting one of these on my phone.
The official purple TPU case is pretty good for that but I'm not sure if I'm a huge fan of its appearance.
Cimo TPU case from Amazon is pretty good. Nice lip and good grip on the edges. Plus it was only $8 when I bought mine

Theres nothing around!! They're just sleeves lol! :crying: Anybody know off any good cases that are out in the UK to use meanwhile. So far the options are bad, and I don't want to use a naked phone lol.
Hardly anything in the UK.
I'm waiting for the S gel cases to appear, it's bound to happen before one from China would arrive for me.
In the mean time I guess I'll just keep it in a sock/pouch type thing I have lying around.
Mobilefun are showing 3 dedicated cases , but these are NOT released yet , probably be soon though.
They have the genuine Nexus 4 bumper and 2 FlexiShield Skin cases here:-
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cat/Nexus-4-Cases.htm
Luckily it's almost the exact same size as the GNex so slides nicely into my old PDair case, might get a bumper but I'd like to see one first
Better off going online to find a case. High st retailers have a bad selection of cases.
There is a an s case available from in the UK now http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TPU-Case-Cover-Nexus-4-LG-E960-/121022906472?var= they also have some 3 ply screen protectors. I had ordered an s vase from China but have got one of these coming now

lol! I posted about this case myself a few days ago. Thanks anyway
Flexishield
I need something until the official bumper turns up (damn! this phone is slippery) so I've ordered the black Flexishield from Mobilefun and will report back with my opinion.
S-Line case is very nice for the N4. Very grippy and looks good too. However, if you're buying this expecting it to prevent scratches on the back, don't. I have 3 or 4 fine scratches at the top of the rear glass after taking the phone out of the case. I'm sure it would help with shattering if it fell, but it seems to have caused a few scratches on the back :/ They're only visible at a certain angle but there are quite a few of them.
Nevertheless, they're just fine scratches and definitely nothing to cry about. I'm going to continue using the case!
I got my S line case a couple of days ago, for 99p including delivery to (and from) the UK - it was 2 days, it's rather great! Grippy, comfortable, not bulky and not scratching the phone either.

It is a ridiculous situation for a piece of injection moulded plastic that must cost less than a pound to manufacture.
I've ordered the tpu s case from eBay, should arrive Monday.

I have the Bumper on order but am getting by with an S- line case and a pouch. I'm preferring the pouch though as the S- line, although grippy, feels woefully cheap.

Ionic Guardian + Spigen screen prot.
Well we (in the UK) can pre-order the ionic guardian ... which I think I'm going to do so my phone can hopefully take a few knocks (shame about no otterbox) ... and combine it with the spigen screen protector, just can't choose between oleophobic and ultra crystal ....
Edit: I can't post links but if you chcek amazon (uk) they are on there...
Anyone got a better/more protective set up that we can get here? .... I'm guessing there'll be a new wave of people in the UK looking into cases now that we were able to order again today (I luckily managed to get in on the 1-2 weeks but aren't counting my chickens till I get a shipping email)

Also ordered this, but coming from hong kong im not expecting it for another 2 weeks or so.
Will post a quick review when it arrives.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Just read some feedback on sellers ID and people are happy with it, Quality looks good. Also watched videos on youtube about Nillkin Matte Hard Cover and its positive so going to order for my nexus4 which i will get 1-2 weeks.
This is pretty ridiculous now...I ordered a bumper on 13th November!! Over 3 weeks later and it's still pending...Google Play support phone operators don't have any useful information about it...has anyone here gotten one of these yet from Google UK??
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.

I have a body glove dropsuit on mine. It's for the RAZR M, but it fits perfectly as long as you don't mind losing the camera button. It's also very slim, I love it!
Sent from my XT890 using xda app-developers app
It may be the case that you are mistaken in your assertion that there are not cases built for this phone. Might want to case out cases for the Razr M. Some even have a camera button cut-out in case you need one. All depends on your usage case.
Have you looked at PDair dot com?
I ordered from the states, however it was delivered to the UK within a week.
Cheers for the link, I've still got some godwafwul bulky thing on mine that I got cheap off of ebay. Protects the phone, but looks awful and makes it pretty bulky.
i still search for a descent protective case
Also cannot find case which suits and protects well - all that separately yes, but not at once
Bought DC case (model Top30 XXL at local store) which suits very well, but last two milimeters of top part of mobile are going out of the case (corners), so my phone is not 100% safe once it falls in "good" angle. Anyway I like it for this time. Avoid those fake suede cases. Bought one and everytime I needed to pull that damn thing out It turned my pocket "inside out" ....
See dc-cases dot com.

You can get some decent cases for the Razr i on ebay, but to be honest, they suck. No good brands make them.
You can get some pretty cool snap on ones from a website on ebay called headcase.. I bought one, but if you want decent protection, they're not the best, thin plastic.... If you go to pdair.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=motorola+razr+i+xt890&order=name&dir=asc you can get some pretty decent ones, aluminium, rubberized, flip cases, they're in America so not sure about delivery timescale.

Seek eBay. There are a lot of them...
check this one out, its the one i'm using right now and fits perfectly http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310635918980?var=610180588948&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Seidio case
Hi all, just type seidio case for razr m on ebay. I got the Seidio Active Rugged Protector Case from a seller called sfplanet. A two piece case, the inner is made from soft silicon, the outer from a rigid but flexible plastic. Comes from America and costs around £30.00 with p&p but well worth it imo. Had it for nearly 3 months now. Seems very well made, fits perfect with all cut outs apart from the camera button but this does not stop the operation of button. In fact there is a slight ridge of extra silicon exactly where the camera button is which serves the purpose. Feels good in the hand, a lot less slippery. I have dropped it a couple of times but it hasn't left a mark. Have tried to upload some pics, sorry about the quality.
Cool stuff
Some cool stuff are going out. But I really want new roms.
I bought a Razr M otterbox for my Razr i. It fit and everything but it covered up the camera button. I hated that camera button anyway.

I am using INCIPIO one. It's originally made for Razr M, but perfectly suits Razr i - the only difference is the camera button, but I never use it.
It's very thin (that was mine main criteria) and the material is great!
Plus they ship to Europe! The cover costed me around 25 euro overall.
Few days ago I ordered http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/motorola-droid-razr-m-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case for arroud 18$ on eBay. Before I used Ballistic case for Atrix and in fact it stretched but after almost one year so it's not so expensive to pay few $ for almost one year using.
This one is for RAZRm but I never used hardware camera button so event if sometimes case trigger camera I will disable this button with Tasker or in build.prop.
So my conclusion is: it's better to have good case than crappy (yes RAZRi has really crappy camera button) camera button.
Just bought a Tech 21 Tactical Case for my GS5 and fits the S5 superbly. Using the case feels very solid and secure on the hand. All access port are open except for volume and buttons in which they are covered by a button extension. Overall this is best case so far that offer protection yet it maintains the slimness of the S5. See photos below. Enjoy shopping for cases.
I use the Tech21 Impact Mesh case on my S4 and I love it except it makes the phone a little too wide at times. Do you feel the same about the case for the S5?
I was looking at this case in store but the one I was looking at was the Tactical Black which is fully opaque and not translucent like the one you have.

I'm looking for a good case at the moment, but I'm concerned the fingerprint scanner will not work correctly. A friend of mine has an OtterBox, and the case extends up too much so that you can't slide down your finger all the way. I'm not sure, but this case looks like it's designed the same way. Can anyone comment on this?
I saw the black one. But i wanted the tranaparent one. It is really nice.

Did you find this in stores? I've only seen the impact mesh ones but I prefer the opaque look of this one to the clear smokey I have now.
The store here in the Philippines carries the opaque one and the smoked one. Also they have smooth one which is to slippery for me.
Fingerprint scanner works just fine.
Yeah I got my tactical21 smokey mesh, I say I love this case. Everything works and the finger scanner doesn't bother to it. I am concerned if i can fit in a tempered glass but.... That's all going have to wait since I ordered one last weekend. Try to remember to post pics about it
Zero S5
Waiting for mine to ship, cant find this color in stores just the black 1, seeing these pics helped me choose this case, i like the matte look more than the typical glossy style they have
