Can anyone suggest a case similar to:
Casemate's Barely There
I have tried ordering this case off 7 websites and the main Casemate website and EVERY SINGLE site is OUT OF STOCK.
What should I do?
Is the Incipio Feather a good solid case? As good as the Barely There?
should be a case? if it's very thin, bestskinever is good.
I like my Boxwave Crystal Clear, it doesn't hide the Nexus beauty, it's thin, but I'd like to think it's protective.
It's a soft rubbery case.. Not a hard case, not a silicone case...
Seidio Innocase II.
I thought the Innocase II was a thicker phone case.
I was looking for something like the Barely There.
Has anyone on here tried the Boxwave Snap Fit Shell?
got it
went on a lil nexus one shopping spree:
got the
- Boxwave Snap-Fit Shell in Jet Black - 24.99
- Barely There Metallic -22.99
- CaseMate ID Case (was on sale 9.99)
- Seidio Innodock Jr Desktop Cradle
I am going to post a video review of all this.

So I am looking to get a new case for my GS4. I had a Nexus 4 previously and had the Poetic Slimline bumper. I loved it. It fit so nicely in my hand. So much so I got the Poetic slimline for my GS4. Its good but it doesn't feel the same. I think the reason is because of how rounded it is on the edge. On the nexus 4 rather than round to the back it angled.
So I am looking for a thin and light case that angles to the back rather than rounds or at least isn't a smooth transition. I do want it to offer some protection though. The poetic is nice for this because it has the hard and soft. One other thing is I love wireless charging and don't want to lose that (I have an insert).
In my search I have seen a number of things and am leaning towards an aluminum bumper right now. I am willing to consider othhings but this seems to do what I want best.
I haven't been able to find reviews on the ones I am considering.
Really like this (1) one. I think this (2) one is the same but without the back cover. Has anyone used either of these?
I am also considering a Spigen Neo Hybrid. Might make it too iPhone-esque though.
Any other suggestions would be nice.

I have the second one you talk about, I love(d) that case. It fit well in the hand and felt very premium. Unfortunately the service went from -94dbm to almost -103dbm, and I would constantly get failed text messages in places i would have normally 2 bars.
The neo hybrid is deffinently a sweet case, the back is a little slippery in one hand though.

Spigen
Google Spigen S4
and scroll to their neo hybrid
i personally have a slim armor case and the spigen build quality to superb
make sure to buy geniune from site or your own trusted retailers( inside a genuine case has a verfication code to check if it is genuine)
I think that most if not all Aluminum cases with an aluminum rear cover will experience signal loss. Not a good thing under most circumstances.
I sport a UAG case which I'm very happy with.
I started a thread about the UAG a couple of weeks ago:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451240
I've also looked at the Speck cases online which seem pretty intriguing.
http://www.speckproducts.com/smartphone-cases/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s4-cases.html
I have the Otterbox Defender & Commuter cases, as well as the Cygnett WorkMate Evolution case, but I don't think those are the look you're looking for.
Hmmm.... 4 cases in the last 3 months for a guy that never used any cases for years

I have the Neo Hybrid, some things to consider:
1) The plastic bezel is awful, the paint will start chipping within a couple of weeks (I have chips all over the bezel), then you will see the unpainted white plastic underneath and they aren't cheap to replace at $9.99.
2) It looks nice, but if you drop it I highly doubt it will offer much protection, I did once and where it did drop I saw the frame's paint chip, luckily it was on my hardwood floor and not concrete.
3) I contacted Spigen's customer service and they are down right awful, you won't get a response for weeks and if you do they will say it's your fault. I understand that if I drop it and chip it is definitely my fault, however the bezel should not chip just from it being in my pocket.
I have moved on from the Neo hybrid to Obliq, the one linked below. It does add a little bulk, but man the case is built with high quality and looks great.
Good luck, I hope you find a good case.

Honestly I think the best combination of both protection and slimness is going to come from either the Element Atom, Otterbox Commuter, or one of the Spigen cases.
Incipio makes some nice cases as well.

I got rid of my SPG Neo Hybrid Neo 2 days after getting it a couple of months ago because I saw the 'writing on the wall' regarding minimal if any drop protection, sagging neoprene after 2 days, cheap construct, etc.
With the above being said, the case in your link looks to be of protective construction, although it looks like a UAG knock off, but at half the price and nice selection of colors.
But I have to do more research on it.
I've since got a Speck Candyshell case which seems pretty cool.
I need some protection, but I also like some colors, more than the standard black cases available. I just ordered a 2nd Candyshell[/QUOTE]
Edit:
I read some reviews on the Obliq. They were general but positive, then I read a review that I'm linking to. This guy seems to be very meticulous, and he is comparing the Obliq to the UAG, which he has both owned:

Well that is odd, I have the gun metal and the black Obliq case and the buttons work as smooth as butter, right out of the case, no break-in period required. Also I have the UAG and the Obliq does look like a knock off but I think it looks better. Also the UAG ones are $29 vs $9.99 or $14.99 for the black Obliq case.
UAG is not better or worse than Obliq in my opinion. UAG also looks a bit worse with those fake screws in the back that are just part of the plastic, those make the case look cheaper, I wish they had just left those out of the design.
Go with whatever makes you feel better, but for 3 times the price you aren't getting a case that is 3 times better.
Hey everyone, I finally upgraded from an S3 to an S6 and loving it. On my S3 I was using a UAG case which it still has and still works great. Now that I have a S6, I want to try something different than UAG.
I was wondering if anyone has used or have one of the following cases im pondering on:
Ballistic Explorer
Ballistic Tough Jacket
Spigen Slim Armor
Spigen Tough Armor
If you have one, can you share pics and your experiences so far? Thank you all its been awhile
take a look at http://www.pure-gear.com/shop-by-de...xtreme-shock-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-6.html. I upgraded from s3 and UAG too. I love the new dualtek case. By the way UAG wasnt that protective I guess because It scratched my phones back and sides over time.
Currently using the Spigen Slim Armor in white. Love how it makes the phone feel and the durability it adds.
I upgraded from a Note 4, so the sizing was a bit odd to get use to at first but I'm loving it so far.
Highly recommend the case, but just not in white. Picks up and makes dirt way more visible then other cases.
Armor case recommended

Armor one is always better than other case.
Thank you for the feedback and suggestions, I checked my S3 and it has no scratches from the UAG case. I'll do some more reviews and once I pick one, I'll post pics
Maybe ill Buy two of them lol...
I have been selling cellphones for too long and I have at points swapped out cases weekly. The best cases are Uag, incipeo, spigen, bodyglove, tech21 for different reasons.
The ones for the s6 I have been swapping between.

Curious - I have the NGP also. Is yours properly aligned on the power/lock button? Mine moves a lot in that area when you go to click the lock button. Wondering if it's an issue with my case or the NGP in general. But overall I like the case a lot! It's like what I was expecting from Diztronic. (Which is pretty terrible for the S6 compared to my previous Moto X cases.)
i am a simple man, so i use hybrid case, i have bought this kit, when i got a s6
Hello,
Im looking for a case for my new Nexus 6P. I already looked up a bunch of case collection threads in the accessories section, but couldn't find the right one. I want a slim/thin fit case (I know it has minimal protection, but the nexus is just beautiful, I will take that risk), that is crystal clear and doesn't cover up the buttons on the side.
Looks like the shimmery white adopted case that comes from google is the only one, that nearly fits my requirements. I just want to make sure that I don't miss my (dream)case, if it exists. :laugh:
Does anyone know a case that would be perfect for me?
Check aliexpress and eBay. From Aliexpress I got a case... think the brand is Lenuvo or something like that, for a few bucks. It is entirely gel TPU, and I got the slightly smoked color to hide dirt better, but it is still very true to my aluminum 6P's color. It is the thinnest case I own compared to the several others I have. It does cover the buttons though, but provides good feedback.
I also have a frosted clear plastic shell, a lot like the Spigen thin fit I got on eBay for a few bucks. It doesn't cover the buttons or anything, but I just didn't like it that much. I prefer either the Spigen thin fit, the BearMotion sandstone thin fit, or the Cimo smoked matte gel tpu when I need a little more protection.
Already have a sandstone feel case from Krusell, which I love. Although they also have a leather case also, it seems too bulky. This being the most expenaive phone I ever bought I want the cases to feel nice in the hand, not rubbery or plasticky. Tried a dbrand skin, but I still felt anxious every time I layed the phone down and would place it ever so gently.
So, anyone got some leather or fabric cases they had nice experience with?
fitbag, amazon, best ones, comes in leather and fabic and I have used both, awesome.
Agree, look at fitbag...
dont spend $25 on fitbag, use an oakley sunglasses sleeve for like $6 and it is the exact same thing

But what about the difference in THICKNESS? The sleeve for my Oakley's are quite thin and don't offer much protection. The fitbag's, on the other hand, don't seem to be in stock so I can't even test the differences yet.
I have a canvas case, it feels very good.
In absence of the official alcantara case I spent hours looking for a leather case, found krusell and ordered leather and sandstone, now waiting for them to arrive... Looks like screen is not protected though in both.. Was hoping the leather krusell was a good replacement so shame to read it is bulky.
Fitbag look nice but rather not have a sleeve case as tend to use my phone a lot and don't want to remove it every time with 2 hands.
Why Samsung don't make premium leather cases like the iPhone cases with a nice small lip at the front I will never understand

After I bought the sandstone from krusell, I also bought their leather one. Don't know if mine was defective or not, but the band that's glued on the margines of the case came off on one side. It's a real shame, cause it really felt great in the hand. I'm still considering if I should give it another shot and buy one more.

I saw someone else on amazon Germany had that issue too, if its a design fault it should be covered under their lifetime warranty

Why did you stop using the sandstone case? I see it has no screen lip whatsoever which is one downside..

I didn't stop. I use(d) both. The sandstone is really thin and has a nice grip. The lack of a lip is not an issue for me, since I never put the phone screen down.
Thanks.. Look forward to receiving mine, I don't want to install a screen protector as they all seem to have issues so a small lip would be great
If the leather case has the same issue you have I'll be claiming on warranty

Just to update you. I bought another leather case from Krusell. And this one feel just as great as the first one but it feels alot more solid. I see no deterioration as the first one had.

Thanks. I received mine too, although have stuck with the sandstone case as prefer the slimline fit and how grippy it is. Leather case from krussel I find quite slippy in the hand.
