Nobody has bought the Case Mate Tough Case yet?

I just ordered mine. Coming from T-Mobile, I have had the Tough Case on my Sensation and I love it! It's like the Otterbox Commuter case but much better. Feels better with the grip and feels like it will protect the phone much more as well. Tried the Commuter on in the store and compared it to my Sensation in the tough case and the guy at ATT was even like "the Otterbox isn't anywhere near as nice..."
Will let y'all know when I get it and do a review...

Case Mate Tough Case for SGSIISR

I bought one today from Androidcentral.com. It's on sale there for $19.99. I had a similar model on my old Nexus One (remember way back when?). It's a great case...just remember to take it off every few weeks and clean out the micro pocket lint that gets in there.

I received the CaseMate Tough today. There's an inner soft sleeve and an outer shell/backing. It fits great on the SR--all ports and buttons match up perfectly. It's easy to slide into a pocket without getting stuck on anything but grippier than a smooth case (or no case), and doesn't add too much bulk. The front lip extends out to serve as a bumper for the screen.

Here you go. Note a bit of dust/pocket lint on the inner soft case. It does seem to attract that.

its so worth it and handles anything you throw at it.

Bumper case

I would like to see bumper / frame case for HTC ONE S. Thus, you can still protect the phone but keep it sleak. Why no manufacturer makes bumper cases for our phones? In the past I coulnd not find one for my N1 either.
...And bumper case released in 2015 when the phone will be two year old makes no sense too.
If anyone finds solution please post here. Regular TPU case cut down to bumper won't look good too.
Or it might be just technical limitation. The curves of the phone might not be good enough to hold such rubber band.
Other phones (iCrap) have variation of bumper cases, we don't have even one available.

to answer your question though, the closest thing to those "BUMPER" cases is barely there cases. They are thin and still offer protection. But no, there is no such case like a flimsy rubberband that just protects the sides.

someone found a bumper case yet? I can't find one

Thanks, but it's one of those hybrid bumper cases with a hard plastic backing. My gf had one for her old blackberry and it totally scratched it (if dust or sand gets between the hard plastic and the phone, it makes scratches)

Testament to Otterbox Commuter Case - Dog Attack [PICS]

Today my boyfriend, dad, and I were all trying to save a two day old kitten who was stuck in vinyl siding. Of course, this was a stressful (and very long) ordeal, so I wasn't really paying attention to where I left my phone. During a break from the rescue, my boyfriend found my phone on the ground and said "uh oh." Turns out I had left it on a bar chair outside and this awful bloodhound/shepherd mix drop off made a point to get it and try to chew it to death.
Luckily, I didn't buy a crappy case, and my Inspire 4G is still fully functional and has a few small chew marks and the casing on the bottom bent a little. My Otterbox didn't make it out as great, but it did it's job, and did it well! This dog chews up basketballs and armadillos no problem, so it's a true testament to the quality of this case.
Here are the pictures.

And in case you were wondering about that newborn kitten, it's the topmost one in this picture.

I like mine too, it seems thin but functions very well.

Hmmm I may need to get an otterbox after seeing this. I've had my phone for a year and a half with just a silicone case and no screen protector.

wow i was considering getting this case. this is my next.

Best case with a kickstand?

Trying to find some cases with kickstands for the Note 4...so I can slack off and watch movies at my desk at work...lol. Any suggestions?

Spigen' Tough Armor and Slim Armors have kickstand at a reasonable price. Mic cutouts aren't Verizon version friendly though.

How is the grip on the slim armor?

I bought the slim armor off of Amazon. I think the case is complementary to the phone and I would recommend the case with the caveat that the kickstand feels flimsy, all though I have not had any problems using the kickstand daily. I would say that the 'grip' is middle of the road... as in it's not as grippy as cases I have had in the past ( Seidio & Redpepper on GN2) but it doesn't feel like it will fly out of your hand either.
You might also look at the Seido Surface

If you don't mind paying a premium, the FlyGrip Gravity makes a great kickstand. It worked well on my Ringke Fusion case.

I pre ordered this one.

Getting it end of the month

Just wanted to know how that case is doing for you? any issues with NFC when the case is on?
Is the kickstand flimsy?
Easy to use the heartrate sensor in the back?

i use spigen's slim armor. the kickstand on that IS flimsy. mine broke off after about three months of use. now i'm looking for a new case. sigh.

Aluminum bumper case from amazon prime. Quick thoguhts

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OLFTLVE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Was prime when I ordered it. Anyways, this is pretty much the same bumper that's being sold on ebay from china. It covers the left mic hole on the bottom for the non verizon variant but calls works just fine. It feels somewhat flimsy but overall not bad for a few bucks. Impact to cellular signal was give or take 8% and impact to wifi near none. Fits fairly well on my phone. I took it on and off a few times did not seem to scratch since I was careful.
Overall I would recommend it if you just wanted some edge protection. I was thinking of using it daily but figured I would wait until replacement camera lens were 4 bucks on ebay (as they became so for the note 3,2 etc) You pretty much get what u see in the product picture.

Typo for the word thoughts, please fix. Thanks Mods.

Could you post a couple more pictures of it? Is there anything on the inside that would protect the Note 4 from scratching when you are putting it inside the case?

can you share more photos from different angle?

It will scratch the metal frame on the Note 4 when you put it on, And it covers the left mic on N910C.

Please be careful, I used a similar case on the Note 3 and it scratched the frame.

I dont really mind the scratches, it will scratch over time either way,
Just cover it with an case
