What is the Best Skyrocket Case?

So i'm soon going to get a Skyrocket, i have the Hercules but i'm going to do a switch for a more futureproof decision. Anyway I noticed that the Skyrocket has much more options compared to the Hercules in the case department. So i wanted to know you guys and gals think is the best case for the Skyrocket.

In My Opinion.. which im also using right now is the otterbox commuter. i wouldn't say it as a best case, but it does the job i needed it to do, i can slip it in and out of my pocket easily and fully protects my phone from nicks and bumps and doesnt really add greater bulk to it. plus it cover your headphone jack and charging port... which i think is really neat.

I cant say the best for everyone but imho the otter defender is best for me. I'm hard on my phones and it doesnt add too much bulk to it.

Im using the Seidio active case. It looks super nice and provides great protection.... check it out.

Seidio makes awesome cases. I've used them for a year or 2 and they all have done a great job. Just got my SkyRocket and I'm eagerly waiting for my active to show up
Sent from low Earth orbit with my SkyRocket.

i am also using the Seidio Active case with the holster also it has a kickstand which is also pretty handy

I love seidio.. but I cant get over how much lint and dust collects on the soft inner layer on the active cases.. drives me mad. same for the otterbox commuter... seidio surface has been my weapon of choice for many years. cept the ones for skyrocket feel cheaper to me. and kinda loose.

I like my diztronic. Its no otterbox defender but its low profile and hardly noticeable.

ringke makes two nice cases, I chose the slim one my sammyrocket wants to get his sexy on ..​

I like this one. It's a premium leather case from SGP. Looks good, feels good and has great protection.

Its like a Barely There. Love this case for low profile.

I am currently using the otterbox commuter.
I also have the case-mate tough case in black/red that I really like with one complaint. The the hard plastic shell does not fit snugly against the soft inner rubber. I thought at first I just received a bad case, I sent it back to case-mate explaining the poor fit and they sent a new one that arrived today. I installed the case and it has the same issue.
Looks great and if the hard plastic outter shell fit securely it would be a great case.

i got the casemate barely there brushed aluminum and silver SGP neo hybrid.......love em both, hated all otterboxs' and the casemate pop.......too damn bulky!!!

those leather ones are really nice just flipping it open every time to use it makes me wonder ..
I also had an amzer tpu which for the price was fine.
I chose the slim because not like the skyrocket is a flimsy pos anyways, I've dropped other phones bare 20+ times on blacktop and concrete they never broke or malfunctioned at all .
I also like the Trident case for the skyrocket though yep
i have a guy building aluminum bumpers for it , screw seal and all -20USD soon xda, vewy soon

Can anyone confirm if/any cases fit with a full Invisishield?

My Skyrocket was bought from Ebay and it came with the Otterbox Defender case. So far it has done wonders as I have extremely clumsy hands. Design wise, I don't know how it can get much better.

I just got a Otterbox commuter. I cannot understand why the corners have no hard shell protection, if you drop your phone there is a good chance it will land on a corner with heavy impact. The most frustrating though is how hard it is to use the volume up/down pads, massive resistance.

I bet its because the phone would be 10x harder to take out if the corners had hard shell protection. Plus if you take a look at the inner layer of the case, it has extra width in the corner areas for the very reason of needing extra protection during drops for those often hit areas. Concerning the buttons, idk about massive pressure. I use the power and volume buttons constantly while hearing music and usually get away with just pressing down a little harder..

I don't know about that. I had a captivate with an otterbox commuter, full shell zero problems and other than this being 0.5 inches larger the form is almost identical.
I am glad the buttons are easy to press for you though because it is that that is the reason for myself and tons of others returning it.

[Reviews] Nexus 4 Accessories (Cases,Chargers) [Detailed Pictures]

I decided to gather up some different types of accessories for this phone, varying from cases, pouches, and even chargers. Detailed photos as well as a small written review will be provided for each accessory. I hope this will give you some informed decisions on purchasing these products. I would also take any constructive criticism to improve these reviews for future use..
Diztronic TPU Case
Review​
Diztronic did a great job designing this TPU case. As you can see, this case provides great coverage in protecting the phone. With a lip covering the sides of the screen, the phone can be set face downward without the screen touching the surface. The buttons are great and have a nice feeling when pushed. Like other TPU cases pressing down on the buttons seems like such a hassle, but not with this case. The matte black finish provides a non-glossy surface that also makes it harder to see visible scratches or marks on the back of the case. All the ports (headphone jack, USB, speaker) are easily accesible thanks to the specific cutouts it provides. Overall, this is one great TPU case and I prefer it over the rest of them out there.

XO Skins
​
Review​
XO Skins is one of many screen protectors that are done through a wet application. The whole installation process was simple. Only thing you have to take into consideration is the amount of liquid applied to both the screen protector and the phone should be minimal and just enough to let the screen protector glide over the phone. You also have to be careful squeegeeing the liquid away from open ports such as both front and back speakers. It took a little over a day for most of the leftover air bubbles, as well as marks, to dissipate.
There was little to no orange peel on the protector, compared to other competing companies such as ZAGG, which is way worse. I really like the it has all the cutouts for the front facing camera, proximity sensors, speakers, camera, and flash. Also, take note that their customer service is really nice and they will take care of an problem you have on the screen protectors. I definitely recommend this as protection for both the screen and the back glass.

LG WCP-700 (Wireless Inductive Charging)
Review​
I've never used an inductive charger before owning this one. After a week of using it, it seems to do its job perfectly. The soft touch feeling covering the base provides a non-slippery surface for placing your phone. There are two LED indicators near the top that let you know whether it is on, and show that it is charging. The charging speed for the charger is fairly fast, averaging at about 10% in around 45 min. The charging does automatically stop once it hits 100% but as soon as it dips below 95% it picks right up. I would, however, like it if it kept the charging at 100%. The charger does make a beep when it is placed on the mat. It may be useful for some people but aggravating for others. This post will guide you in removing the speaker. I had tested the charging with a couple cases and can finally conclude that it does charge through TPU material as well as through the Ringke Slim case.

Clear S-Line TPU Case
Review​
I really like the fact that you can see the Nexus logo through the back of the TPU case. The left and the right side has a nice textured material for better grip. The bottom of the case has to holes so that the USB and the microphone will be accessible.The back has a nice double texture; top part a matte clear finish while the right-bottom half is the clear TPU portion. The camera as well as the rear speaker is also easily accessible. The final part of the case is the top part which has two cut-outs , one for the headphone jack and the other for the secondary microphone. Both the volume rocker and the power button are slightly harder to press; I only hope for a future TPU case with cut-outs on these two places.
Main Store Link
OEM Bumper
Review​
After an extensive amount of waiting I finally received my bumper. Shipping and processing time was pretty quick. Overall, the bumper feels great in the hand even though it is slightly wider than a few of my cases. Compared to the Ringke /Diztronic slim case, it was fairly wider. Compared to my TPU case, it was just slightly wider. The most important part of the case is that your phone will be protected from drops and at the same time keep the phone looking great. The shiny bezel surrounding the phone keeps the premium look of the case. Both buttons, volume rocker and power button, provide a tactile feel when pressing down on them. They aren't like the TPU cases and it almost feels as if the actual case was integrated with the phone. On the bottom of the phone, there are cut-outs for the micro USB port as well as the microphone. Along the top, there are cut-outs for the secondary microphone and the headphone jack. I've read around some threads about the bumper and most people have trouble fitting their headphone jack to the phone because the cut-out is to small. The case was a bit pricey and I hope their will be other opportunities for people to try out this case when it's available again. I also hope that 3rd party companies will start producing more bumpers.
....More reviews will be available ...
Any question or places you would like for me to describe with more detail, I'll be happy to do so. Thanks

Thanks for the nice closeups. Is it just me, or is there a pretty big gap in the seam in the fourth picture?

I actually did have a problem with that. The diztronic case has is a pretty tight case and when I tried putting it on my phone, the edges peeled just slightly. You can however try stretching the case over the edges to try and prevent that.

i got my diztronic in today and i am not impressed. luckilly the case will still work for its intended purposes. it fits fine and the all, but it really cheapens the look and feel of the phone.

I just go my diztronic today in the mail after school and I love this case I feel so much better being protected and feeling naked lol bit yep awesome case.

im waiting for the poetic case

Thanks for the reviews, but it would be more helpful if you took the pictures with a higher aperture, so the FOV isn't so narrow.

Do you think we should get the case fit XO skin if we're using the Diztronic case? I'm torn between either the XO skin or Xtremeguard. Have you, or anyone, had experience with both of these screen protectors? Is there a difference in quality between these two brands? Basically I would want the one with the least amount of orange peel, hardest/smoothest, and tough enough to not get peeled off by the Diztronic case. Opinions?

What's the best case for this phone?

Personally for protection and looks I like the Spigen Slim Armor the best. It's not very bulky, but still offers good protection. For good reviews and pictures take a look at the posts around this section. There are plenty of great reviews.

Ballistic aspira. Not too thick, but great protection. Love the colors too

I'm really liking my UAG Navigator in white:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41548103

Spigen Neo Hybrid, Dante Red looks pretty sweet. Gets a little distorted from a wirelesss charging pad, but otherwise very nice looking.

I personally use 3 cases, the official Samsung Protective Cover+, Spigen Neo Hybrid and UAG Navigator! All 3 are slim protective cases!

Otterbox commuter has protected my S4 from several drops ranging from 3-5 feet onto various surfaces including concrete! Couldn't recommend anything else.

Really love my Spigen Slim Armor Cases. They are the best looking case I have ever used. I will probably get an Otterbox Commuter or Defender for Outdoor activities. I have used them on other phones and really liked them.

it depends if you want protective case and don't care if the phone become bulky or want non bulky phone and good protection.for the first option i recommend otterbox commuter. for the second option i recommend uag .

I personally prefer the otterbox as well.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

If you like not being able to plug in headphones/chargers with the case on, go for the Spigen Neo Hybrid.
If you want the same protection, an OEM look, and wider ports that allow for plugging in with the case on, go for the OEM Samsung S4 Bumper Case.
You can find both (by copying & pasting the names I wrote) on Amazon.

I would wholeheartedly recommend the UAG case. It's the first case I look for when I buy a new phone.
To me, it's the perfect case.

I'm using the otterbox the commuter series, and liking it. Not too bulky.

So my Seidio Convert case for the S3 fits the S4 mostly.
You will have to cut the volume controls a bit if you want to use the inner plastic shell but I just skipped on it.
The rubber shell and exoskeleton together are enough to keep the phone in the case - even if a bit of wiggle is there - and you can use the volume and power buttons, the IR blaster is exposed and works well.
The headphones jack doesn't line up, but the power and camera do - so it'll do for a few days until I get this in:
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-CSWSSG...TF8&qid=1379369652&sr=8-11&keywords=seidio+s4
I used to go for otterbox cases, but after getting my first Seidio case I will never, ever use an otterbox again.
The seidio convert case is far and away superior to the defender case from otterbox - the convert case has an inner plastic shell that slides together, instead of clipping together, and then the rubber shell goes over with a second plastic exoskeleton that keeps the rubber in place.
Not only that, but where the defender is basically a brick-type shape, the convert case is contoured and feels nice in your hand with it's rounded edges and ribbed sides.
They are about the same size when all is said and done, so i'd rather hold a convert then a defender.
That waterproof case is going to be the best decision I ever made for this device, I am sure of it.

I hate to admit it but the new Otterbox Defender is actually pretty nice. It seems slimmer than previous models and feels good in my hands.
I also like the color options now available. I found replacement frames and rubber sleeves on Amazon for like $5 each so I can mix up the colors. I have the Samsung wireless charging back on it which fits in the case and charges fine. The raised edges don't bother me like they did in previous models where they felt like they impeded my typing. I have to say I'm impressed with overall improvements to the case. I tried the Convert but prefer this. On top of all that, this like Seidio are quality built cases so you know proximity and gps etc...all work fine.
I have probably about 15 cases from thin to bumpers to bulky but this actually works pretty well for me. I've gotta calm down on the case venture!!! The Love Mei large case is on a shelf after the issues I experienced with it.
I need to have a phone case garage sale.

Spigen Neo Hybrid [METALLIZED BUTTONS]

Just received my Spigen Neo Hybrid case for the HTC One M9 and I honestly think this is one of the best phone case investments I've made. The metallic colored buttons for the power and volume buttons, is slightly offset from the case for easy pressing. It also looks GORGEOUS.
After using it for only a few days I've really come to love this case, I've used plain silicone cases before (it didn't add weight, just added grip), Otterbox's, and just a plain plastic cover. This case is great to show off and has perfect cutouts for the camera, flash, and even a hole for the noise-cancelling microphone.
I've noticed that the textured back plate provides a great amount of grip. It also shows reflects the antenna bands that the HTC One likes to boast. It has this cool looking top side cover design for the IR Blaster. In addition, it has a slight lip for the front of the screen in case of accidental drops on the screen itself. I myself had a few to drink and dropped it on its face, I picked it up and not a single scratch or scuff on the case.
All in all, I've thoroughly enjoyed and will continue to enjoy this case, uploaded some pictures in case anybody is in the M9 case market...

It is a very nice case in both function and looks. But if you use a holster it begins to wear along the edges all the way down to the white plastic, so keep that in mind if you are planning on buying this and a holster too.

I have the same case and I do agree, it is freaking gorgeous. Great thing it comes in all the colors an actual HTC One M9 comes in so I got the gold case for my silver/gold M9 and yeah, looks sick...

do the buttons rattle like the old neo-hybrid cases used to?

I have this one as well and love it, well except it seems like I need to open up the slot for the headphones, as my plug I use in my car it a bit large.

I have this case and it rocks and or rolls out of control awesomeness..second time buying this kind had it on my nexus 5 too

i almost bought one of these. got the rubberized clear one instead.
spigen does make some pretty nice products.

I have both. The one you have and the one without the plastic around it. I love both of them. Great cases!

love mine! felt cheap at first
I was actually really upset when i took it out of the packaging and felt the sudo metal clasp... but once I figured out how to properly put the case on the plastic rib thingy feels very sturdy. They did a good job with the case. Mine took a nice fall from ear height (about 6' 2") onto a parking lot and it hit the corner of the plastic band. Few dings but the band is still in one piece and help up surprisingly well since i figured that d be the first to "go" whether from wear, damage, etc.. It was a pain to take it off and I actually told myself (the first time I tried to take it off) that this is a case that's never coming off.. screw it.. but once you figure out the trick its very easy.
I got the silver, I love it.
Def recommend it, had same brand for n5 and loved it. Speck for my m8.. the grippy one haha only one you could ever find in a store.

slightly, not enough for me to mind and they dont rattle when you're carrying your phone or shaking it a bit (like i did to test). The only rattle I hear is when im touching them, they move a bit.

Yeah a little bit but not much bulk.

I am satisfied with this case for the most part. My only gripe is that the buttons may be too sensitive, but that could be the phone too. I seem to find myself turning the screen on by pressing the power button accidently a lot when I put the phone in my pocket. Very sleek case though.

Best case ever, with bonus!
I have the spigen neo hybrid silver accent case along with http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SXNVXPM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00 installed.
BEST combo ever. It hardly adds bulk! I used to use an iOttie mount in my car. But hated the fact that my buttons were covered/pressed by accident. This magnet eases up everything plus provides a less congested feel. On top of that it keeps my device cool if i decide to charge it. I would HIGHLY recommend the combo to those who likes the simplicity and less congestion on their dash.
- Also don't take off the 3M sticker just place it in between and it will hold the magnet in place. I use the large magnet slab for placement flexibility rather than the smaller circle slab.
edit - also the magnet still holds firmly even though it's between the case. I have never had my phone drop.

you guys know if i can buy this case here in the philippines?

Minimal Case - Any Ideas?

Every time I look through XDA posts on cases, I always see people getting the most protection possible from their cases. I am opposite - I hate adding any bulk; even .4". I am trying to find a case that just protects the back and sides from little scuffs (not actually anything in regards to dropping it from 4 feet). I know iPhone has a bunch (what a waste) and want to find one very similar. Matte black, silicone that is as thing as possible.
Anyone come across any yet? I can't be the only one that is looking!
Examples (New user - can't hyperlink. Sorry!):
Caudabe - The Veil for iPhone 5/5s
Desmay - The Slight for iPhone 6 Plus
Spigen - Case Air Skin for iPhone 6s
Thanks!

I'm also looking for this. I currently use the Maxboost mSnap thin, perfect fit case, which seems to be the smallest available, but it's not perfect.
Coming from the S7 Edge, I'm used to cases leaving the side edges uncovered. This Maxboost grips the bezel on every side, making the volume and power buttons difficult to press, and side swiping aggravating.
If I could find something as minimal as the S7e's Spigen Thin Fit, I would be happy.
