Do you use protection or do you go bare? Cases and screen protectors, you pervs...

I bought a gel skin and a screen protector at T-mobile in the mall today. Already took them both off because they made the phone look and feel like **** in my hand. Honestly, it felt like the same dimensions as an iPhone. Yuck.
I know I'm gonna drop it eventually, but it looks even ****tier in the case than it would with scratches, so **** it. This is such a sexy phone I just want to look at it all the time.
What's everyone else doing?

I have the red one... dude I couldn't stand to hold my phone for even 5 minutes without a case lol maybe I'm going through my babying phase but if I gotta be with this for next 2 years then I gotta keep it lookin new at all times. It's just too slick to me without a case imo

Do you have a pic of the case you got? I have the black and clear case with the kickstand. Only 20bucks on ebay so it was a good deal compared to the t-mobile site. I'm desperately waiting for a desk dock to come out.... badly!!! Lol

I can't stand a case either...I also can't stand the screen protector that they cut for the mt4g, cuz it is reduced glare and it seems you take away from the beautiful display. I use a leather holster that works well cuz usually when I drop my phone its usually cuz if falls out of my pocket....only draw back is its leaving black residue on my red finished part...
P.S. Love this phone

I didn't use protection and now I got a bunch of little mt3g's running around....

still nekkid. I'm just using the G1 sleeve. It fits the MT4G perfectly.

Bare back all the way, I would rather pay for an Insurance replacement If I dropped or scratched the display. But I will not cover its natural beauty with plastic or rubber.
Coming from a Vibrant I realize that my only downgrade is the display, Everything else is an upgrade, So why would I further reduce this display with plastic or rubber. I keep one pocket empty at all times, the only thing I use this pocket for is my MT4G.

Ordered carbon fiber phantom skinz for mine, it lives in the plastic holster from tmo. Will post some shots when it arrives and gets cozy with my mt4g
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

no case......tried a couple from tmo but didnt like them. the clear shell w/ kickstand was the best of the bunch but i still like the phone better totally bare

Nothing all the way around. That said, I'd like to try a clear "protector" for the battery plate so as to make it a little grippier. I had one for my iphone 3g, which helped immensely. Anyone know of one that might fit the battery plate?

+1 on the desk dock. No pic handy, but it's just the basic black gel skin they sell at the T-mobile stores.

Completely agree! I paid for this sexy piece of hardware, why would I cover it up with a big rubber sock?!

Agreed! The screen protector they gave me sucks. For iphones they have screen protectors that cover the entire front of the device, right? That's more what I had in mind.
Something similar for the rear isn't a bad idea.

I use the T-Mobile gel case and a Realook screen protector. Although I rarely ever drop my phones, the gel case gives me peace of mind. Unfortunately, it does take away from the phone's aesthetic values.

Yeah, peace of mind is why I bought it. It also feels clunky and bulky in the hand with the case on. Yuck.

The only protection I would consider for my phone is maybe a thin screen protector, or maybe a Golden Shellback coating to make it waterproof.

no case because it makes the phone too bulky. i do use a realook screen protector though, cant even tell its on there.

I've got the white hardshell with the thin rubber sleeve case on mine. It came with a screen protector that I've managed to scratch the heck out of somehow. It's a nice case and doesn't add much bulk to the phone. Generally I like to use the phone without a case but from past experience with rubber coating on plastic (Blackberry Bold) rubbing off, I opted for a case.

Case-Mate "Barely There" Brushed Aluminum

Just picked this up today. Nice case. The fit is perfect, very solid. To be honest, it makes the phone feel more solid then the naked phone (mine sort of squeaks around the battery cover on it's own). All the cut-outs are perfect. There's a slight lip to protect the screen if you lay it screen-down. The back has real brushed aluminum, although i'm sure it's just a thin piece stuck to the plastic, but it looks nice and professional.
I picked this case up from Bestbuy (Canada) for $24.99. Somewhat expensive, but the build quality is good. Not sure if they have it in the US stores.
Also, I've got the SGP Neo-Hybrid case coming in the mail. I'll let you know how the 2 stack up against each other once I receive it...

yeah i saw that case in bestbuy too and i tried it out. It has the same kinda problems the stock phone has, very slippery edges. I dont know how many times it has slipped out of my hands since i got it. I even dropped it onto cement and bashed up the top corner because it slid out from my jacket pocket.
Its a nice looking base but it sure as hell doesnt fix the grip issue i have with the phone.

Just saw the barely there on sale here:

Couldn't agree more... super slippery. I was really more concerned about scratching the back (especially the bottom hump) every time I put to down. But yeah, this case doesn't offer much in terms of shock protection if you were to drop it. Maybe just save the phone from getting scratched up... that's about it.

Good price! But with my luck, i'd return the one I have and end up seriously damaging my phone while I'm waiting for that Dec 7th release date on that site.

I heard that because the case is made from aluminum it actually caused reception issues for some people
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

I haven't noticed any reception issues so far, but I could see it causing an issue with NFC since the NFC antenna is built into the battery and the aluminum totally covers that area. Too bad no one really uses NFC yet, so I can't really test it! Maybe soon....

+1 this exactly happened to me.
Returned it and picked up the rubbery case-mate case instead and that worked fine.

what is better for protection, rubber case or a hard case?
protection against common drops, from say 3-4 feet high?

Could you give me the sku from the receipt?

HA! That's funny... I'm pretty sure they're exactly the same.
By the way, I ended up getting my Hybrid Neo case within 24 hours of buying this one. I actually perfer the SGP Hybrid case. It's actually thinner, and it just feels lighter. Plus it comes with the free screen protector. I haven't put the "Barely There" case back on since. I'm actually planning on returning it.

Yeah could someone pls post pics with the case on the SR.

i have the SGB ultra capsule (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0064TFLZK/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details) which i think is fine but was very excited about the barely there case.. but you are turning me off.. i assumed the barely there would be THINNER/SMALLER then this =(

I have the ultra capsule its so sweet
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

The Barely There cases for other phones cause problems with GPS signal, does this one do the same?
I'm surprised that this case is thicker than the neo hybrid.

I got this case last Tuesday from the local AT&T store.
I absolutely love it!
IT was like $42 and change though, seems expensive, but it does have aluminum on it.
It is so well designed someone who doesn't own the same phone would be unlikely to realize that there is a case on the phone!
I have noticed NO measurable degradation in Cell Signal, GPS, or WiFi. Granted I did not look at my signal dBm before and after in the same location to actually measure it. I don't think that is valid. Atmospheric conditions affect the signal more.
Yes it is still slippery, but I was used to my old Captivate with no case so this is not an issue for me.
It is also available in Grey(Silver?)!
FYI for anyone local. - Found at the sore in Suwanee, GA off 317 next to Moe's.
---------- Post added at 06:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 AM ----------
I'll try to get a pic of it on the phone tomorrow.

So i got the ultra capsule while waiting for this case-mate barely there case. Im not sure if i like it to be honest.
First, the ultra capsule is a smaller form factor, the phone is larger with the case-mate on it.
Also, the casemate doesn't cover the entire screen bezel (the top and bottom are unprotected, the sides are)
so if you dropped your phone and it landed flat on its face - that should be fine (though not sure if i'd test it out!)
or if it landed on the SIDE - that would be protected. But if it landed on the top or bottom, the screen bezel is very soft and is unprotected so you would for sure get scratches/dents there.
Also, the case is VERY slippery.
With that said, it is a beautiful case - minus the ugly large case-mate logo on the back!
lol
i'll keep it on for a bit but think i'll just use the ultra capsule for now as its smaller and offers more protection.

I myself bought this case and within the first week broke the little piece that goes across the top of the volume controls. I have also had my phone fly out of my cubby holder in my gravel truck and go out the window. The case protected well as it was a long way down to the ground.

KLD Product Info said the Case is made by thin cast aluminum (Photo ~ Line B),
Can you please check out for us if it's true...?
I guess Wireless Charging & NFC Signal will be blocked by the aluminum.
How do you like the fitting?
Will it scratch the phone when install, take out..?
Thanks...!

I think this is the best feature of the Google bumper. It incorporates keypressers so pressing the buttons is not as difficult as cases that have simple cutouts. Would love to see a flip case with buttons similar to the stock bumper.

So, elty123, 10 days since you started this thread. Have you already received your order? We want some insights!

Does anyone have this case yet? I'm thinking of getting the pink one, not many femine covers out for this phone yet.

Still waiting for this case. Not sure if this will work from wireless charger, but my HP Touchpad works with the Touchstone even with a case on. This should be similar I guess.

Finally got the red case. build quality is pretty good, and it is nice to touch. However, it doesn't really look like leather - more like.texture plastic. I think It would look better if it is not a bright peachy red.
I don't know if there is a thin cast aluminum inside, however the cover is pretty sturdy. It also doesn't seems to lower reception strength when the case is opened. I have no wireless charger to test.

So it's not more of a fuchsia or a hot pink? That's a relief, I liked that one. Many of these product photos use really bright light and make the colors brighter than pictured in everyday light.

What can you say about the cuts to access the buttons? I heard they are quite narrow in the Nilkin case, making it a bit hard to press them.

And this is the first flip cover I use, and sometimes the cover doesn't close completely.... is it a problem for other flip cover?

Yep, pretty common.

The cut is not very clean (some residual plastic). Pressing the power is ok but the volume is a bit harder, probably because of the spine.
The texture of the cover is the same as the picture... just that it is a bit more shiny than I thought.
Also closing the cover seems to reduce signal strength by a few dBm. I can't really tell because the signal strength fluctuate a lot here, even without any case.

I ordered this case because it looks realllllly nice. I chose this over the nillkin because I wanted it in brown.

Looking for a backless bumper for my new Note 4

So I jumped in and pre-ordered a T-Mobile Note 4 today..
I am looking for a rubberized bumper to put on the phone.. but one that is backless..
Now I know this will hide the beautiful metal sides, but after seeing my Note 3 fall soo many times.. and ONLY be saved because i had a rubber bumper on it, I need one for the Note 4.. But, I love the leather feel of the back of the Note.. so I don't want a bumper that has any kind of back..
I saw this metal one on Ebay.. but will this offer any kind of the same protection as a rubber one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/111458796796

It also messed with my GPS reception when I had one for my Note 2 and 3. Plus it add little drop protection versus the rubber/TPU ones

If you find a nice bumper, please post info. I would be interested. I picked up the Spigen Ultra Hybrid; it has a clear back.

I got the case today.. and put it on my phone..
Pros: It IS backless... so it will definitely protect the phone, while allowing you to feel the faux leather back of the Note.. and it has a bit of a raised lip to catch the phone from a full face smackdown on the floor.
Cons: It is... really smooth.. too smooth.. Walking around NYC today without a case, the metal ridge of the sides of the phone felt secure in my hands.. but with the case on, it feels like it might slip out of my hand.. sigh.. I wish it was either more rough or had some kind of edge to grip on..
I'm going to keep this case.. but also keep my eye out for another one that will feel more secure in my hands, while protecting the phone.
Pics!:

Cons: It is... really smooth.. too smooth.. Walking around NYC today without a case, the metal ridge of the sides of the phone felt secure in my hands.. but with the case on, it feels like it might slip out of my hand.. sigh.. I wish it was either more rough or had some kind of edge to grip on..
I'm going to keep this case.. but also keep my eye out for another one that will feel more secure in my hands, while protecting the phone.

Show us your Frost in a case

I cannot decide which case I want for my Frost. I haven't used cases on my last phones because they all had a pretty durable surface in the back (Leather on the G4, Wood on the Moto X, Hard Plastic on the Nexus 6). With the glass and the soft aluminum on the 6P, I don't want to be case-less anymore.
I want the Adopted MicroFiber Quartz case, but it's sold out. I also love the Slick Wraps Galactic and Hero skins, but I've had clear cases in the past and they get scratched, dirty and ugly very quick, so I wish there was a case with those designs on the outside.
Once a full solid case covers the back, the whole point of getting a Frost becomes moot, which makes me a little sad.
What are you using and what does it look like?

I get my frost nexus tomorrow, i'm curious about this too.

My frost slid out of my front pocket on my shirt while leaning over to pick something up in the kitchen. It bounced twice on the tile. Both spots have small dents in the aluminum from about a 2 foot drop at most. This arrives tomorrow. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01637DS70

My Fusion Smoke version will come tomorrow. I hope the combo will be interesting in a good way.

Thinking about getting the Frost myself and I'd be interested in seeing this too.

I'm not a fan of the headphone jack cover though

Looks like there aren't a lot of Frosty owners using cases...

I am expecting the spigen ultra hybrid clear today, it is overdue. Will try and remember to post pictures in here.

Just got my frost, but my clear Spigen won't be here for a few days. Will post when it comes in.

Ugh, you would think so! At least that didn't happen.
Got the case today, yesterday was a holiday for usps. Also put on the free screen protector until my intelliarmor arrives....whenever that is.

Not bad! What do you think of the headphone jack cover? Can it be removed? They describe some sort of "personalization" that can be done

The personalization is this paper pattern that is the same size as the hard clear part. Its a guide for cutting something to fit.
I don't see the headphone jack cover being a problem. It appears that it could easily be removed. The hole that is there for the headphones is just barely big enough for my audio technica's plug.

Thank you for the pics. Looks like the Spigen is arriving to buyers now, but it has a "crack" near the fingerprint sensor that seems to be part of the mold.
Anyone else have a case on their Frost?

I have the Ringke Fusion case its a nice case and someone already posted pics with it.
I like the Spigen case better with air cushion for drop protection (Dropped my S6 Edge dozen times and not a single dent). Except it has a big window for the camera visor(lots to go wrong).

Ah, so that's what the cap is for! Dust protection! Where did you get that slide from? I don't see it on the Amazon product page or Spigen's site.
There's a thread of people getting the Spigen case and they all have a "crack" on the Nexus Imprint ring. Looks like something the mold has, maybe that's why they were selling them cheaper on Amazon

I've got a frost in the spigen crystal clear case. No crack on my plastic back.

Thanks, that's good to know. I ordered one from Amazon. Ships on the 18th, if I don't like it, I'll return it.

Buyer has to pay for return shipping. I'm trying to return mine and just found this out. Mine has a few defects out of the box so hopefully I won't have to shell out more money to send it back.

@havanahjoe Yeah,I think the frosts are delayed. My coworker ordered one on day 1 of preorders before i ordered my graphite and I got mine like 2 weeks ago, he's still waiting....
