I understanding is that the side buttons aren't accessible on this waterproof case.
I should be getting this case in the next few days. It's in the customs sort facility on saturday. So maybe by thursday.

Hopefully it's a preproduction run of lifeproof that works okay or has a minor design issue that they didn't want to use.
Worst case, it's a bad knock off and has bad plastic (which I've heard is common), but if it's waterproof might be worthwhile.
I got the obex for 77 dollars and within 24 hours, I think it's value is maybe 30's on ebay due to the damage it got from being with keys in a pocket (lol).

Thank you so much for your reply. The case you recommend far more expensive than the one I posted. Side buttons aren't accessible will be ok for me. I rarely use the side buttons unless I charge it or listen to music. I ordered the case I post just now. I will give feedback here once I get my waterproof case.

I have the obex, and I find it cheaply made.
Like I said above, after having it for 24 hours, I couldn't sell it for 30 bucks with the amount of abrasions and wear and tear it has from JUST being with keys. LOL.
Wouldn't trust a $12 case on waterproofing my $200 (or $600) phone. It probably goes without saying, but any case that doesn't say it can be fully submerged, probably can't. Though I'm not sure that's the kind of waterproof you're after.
Here's some good alternatives.
For just water proof (and dust and sand proof, not submergable.)

I'm not really at a point of wanting pure waterproof but I do want to be good enough that an accidental drop in the toliet doesn't render it useless. I think the lovemei would work out okay and would be much more durable than the obex.
I'm just pissed that I paid 80 dollars for a case that has so much wear and tear with 1 day in the pocket with keys. For the record it's worse than my TPU cases + plastic screen cover, which I always have with my keys and never had this time of damage/wear and tear.
The only plus and only thing I'm paying for is waterproofing. Lifeproof at the same price has a 1 year warranty. Now I understand that waterproofing can't be forever with dry rotting and day to day usage, but I wouldn't trust the obex more than 6 months due to the wear and tear it has exhibited on day 1.
I think I might get this:

For me, I can't imagine ruining the ergonomics of the phone by having a case on it, so I can understand your approach. For me, I don't use a case unless in the water.
My case is fine so far. I dont put my phone (in a case or not) in a pocket with anything except maybe paper though.

It fits, but the speaker hole isn't centered properly.. I've had one (still do) but I'm using the Sedio Active X which I like better..

Look at the last pic of this post and you'll see what I'm talking about on the otterbox
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9342504&postcount=12
Besides it covering the speaker, it also covers some of the top of the glass on the phone which the seido doesn't. It's easier to press the volume and power buttons with the seido. And the Seido also provides more grip than the Otterbox. The otterbox can be a little slippery. I think the seido looks way better. Also use XMAS15 if you decide on the seido and you'll get 15% off...

I just purchased an Otterbox Fascinate Impact Series Case case last week and it works great on my Mesmerize.
They have updated the case and now the glass isn't covered on the top of the phone, and the speaker hole is lined up. See photo from the otterbox site below:

I would disagree that it's slippery. It's made of silicone and has bumps in a carbon fiber patteron on the back to prevent it from slipping out of your hand. I have not dropped it once since I've gotten it.
The otterbox case adds a slight weight and bulk to the phone, but I've gotten used to it and I think it's worth it for the protection it provides. I also comes with a screen protector.
I haven't handled an Innocase Active X in person so I can't compare it fairly but I do like my otterbox.
I also had an invisible shield with full coverage but I regretted the extra coverage and would have prefered the standard front and back and ended up removing the shield fully and going with an otterbox case.

Yes, they have fixed the speaker hole issue with the latest revision..
But in the pic you showed the plastic still does cover some of the glass at the top on front (not the actual screen)..
Look at the sedio Active X and you'll see the entire glass is visible which looks better IMO..
And compared to the Seido the Otterbox is very slippery.. The Sedio has finger grips and a lot more silcone, not to mention the plastic hard X shape has a rubbery grip to it as well...
I have the revised Otterbox being shipped to me for free and I will still be using the Seido!!!
edit**
Also the volume and power buttons are easier to press with the Seido.. Not trying to sway anyone's opinion, just making a fair review between the two since I've used them both. I will say Otterbox has outstanding Customer Service and It would probably be more protective in a VERY hard fall, but I think the Seido will hold it's on...
Don't forget about price comparison.
The Seidio case is MSRP: US$29.95 + $5.90 shipping = 38.85
Currently no coupons can be used towards this time..
The Otterbox impact case is: $19.95 + $4.80 = 24.75
Coupon Code tb0111m (Exp 3/31).
You get 10% off at OtterBox.com! (-$2.00)
Free Shipping (U.S. orders only) (-$4.80)
New total: $17.95
I was even considering ordering the seidio case to try it out vs mine, but at $40 including shipping it's too much. I'm happy with my otterbox.
I just got my brother the otterbox commuter case for his mesmerize... It's a very nice case. Found it for around $30 shipped. I can see how someone could find it slippery... it does have a slippery feel to the back of it where there is hard plastic, but I don't think its enough that it would actually slip out of a hand. It definitely seems like it would protect in a fall though.... and it looks great. I've always been more than happy with otterbox... I currently have the otterbox defender case for my hd2, and I will buy an otterbox for whatever my next phone will be.

It definately works... I love mine, but then again I'm biased toward Otterbox cases..
Just in case anybody is looking for the Otterbox Commuter case for your Mesmerize, they sell them at Sam's Club now. They're still obviously only marketed for the Fascinate, but they are cheaper than any other place that I have seen.
I've got two BRAND new otterboxes still in the box they came in and I'm willing to sell them for $20 a peice.. Anyone local want one, let me know...
I just got a defender series case for my messmerize and its great the holster it came with is well built too.ask the holes line up fine and none of the screen is covered.

Had a couple of people lookin gor those cases.. oh well. No that was Joe Frede, last I heard before some stupid chick pulled out in front of him he had 120k miles on it, and the only thing he had done to it was having the valves adjusted twice during the bikes life span. I put about 25k miles on my Busa.

You aren't serious, right? An air bag? Just get an Otterbox and you'll be fine. And if you want something to read a situation and deploy PRIOR to impact, you really should look into having this for a vehicle first. And really, what are you doing that you get into so many wrecks that you're worried about your phone needing it's own airbag.
I don't mean to poke fun, but seriously man, I hope you are really tired or high. When I get to work I'll call professor x to see what we can whip up for you.
From my experience even the thinner/smaller cases help a lot. Even if an airbag was feasible, it'd be overkill lol.

In all seriousness i am trying to get my post count up so i can comment in development. So you may see some useless~pointless comments from me until i hit 10 post. Yea my statement was intended more in line with funny, not to be taken seriously.
But having your attention, i did want to thank you for your work with the mez. I got froyo on her and voodoo and am stoked!!! thanks BRO!!
Should get my desire HD tomorrow and get shut of my iphone 4 but I just can't decide on a case for the thing, I'm leaning towards the case mate tough (had one for both my iPhone 4 and Galaxy S) but I find it a bit on the industrial side, the pop looks nicer but to be honest looks twice the size of the tough, I'm even contemplating just using a screen protector plus official HTC slip case.
If anyone has experience with any or all of those cases your input would be appreciated. Thanks.
I heard a lot of people are using otterbox defender and otterbox commuter. Try searching for it, you might like it.
Wouldn't get anything other than an otterbox commuter from now on for my phones, very impressed with this one
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I've bought a few and my favourite is the Case Mate tough. You wont be disappointed with that one. I have recommended it a few times and others have got it and they are very happy. It improves the DHD feel and obviously offers good protection as its a dual case.
I also have the Case mate pop case thats good too. But I would say go for the Case mate Tough.
Heres a video of the Tough

I'm just wondering and not trying to piss anyone off, but... You've got a phone made out of one-piece metal, it's big enough as it is without any extra and it's almost all screen. So the question here remains why you wan't to have a case for it to begin with? I've had mine since launch and all I've got is an invisibleshield screen protector (just to keep excess fingerprints off, which it does very well, and a little scratch protection just in case) and there's not a single scratch or mark in it anywhere. I've drop it a few times and nothing. I'm just saying that all kinds of bumpers etc are an iphone thing and really not needed with the DHD, which just makes it even greater! Just flash it off as it is Just my 2 cents though.
There are quite a few threads about different cases.
I prefer this one which I reviewed in this thread. They are available under a different name for much cheaper on eBay according to other users. I love the look, lines and feel of the phone with it on.

Yeah that's the kind i got for £3 odd off of amazon, it doesn't add much to the size but it keeps it safe when I drop it and provides some protection to the screen as well
I've got the Otterbox Commuter. Feels well protected but the only draw back with this case is that the silicon cover is a dust magnet (like others made of the same material I'd imagine). It can be a little nagging when trying to pull the phone out of your pocket as well. The weight and feel of the phone in your hand is improved in my opinion -- it doesn't feel as delicate and slippery as the phone is without the case. The plastic casing is rugged, but rather smooth. If you have a dry hand, the potential of it slipping from your hands is there. I like the Case-Mate Pop idea of having a grip on the long edge of the phone.
Also, try to find an alternative cloth/material to wipe the screen down prior to applying the screen protector. The one that comes with it pretty dusty and ruined my screen protector. Use a credit card and not the flimsy applicator card.
If I'm not mistaken, the screen protector that comes with the Otterbox looks nearly identical to the ones you can get off dealextreme (specific to the DHD) for less than a couple of bucks. I wouldn't be surprised if they were in fact the same!
I have a few days to return the case. I'm 80% convinced I want to keep it only because the dust accumulation and "pocket stick" is bothering me enough. If it were a ~25$ case, I could live with it... but for $44 CAD, it's a little tough to swallow.
I'm wondering if there are any fashionable aluminum casings for the HTC Desire (I saw one, but looked a little odd with the belt-clip adapter on the back of the case). I'm also wondering if aluminum interferes with the phone's radio.
Ended up going for the pop, think it's the best looking of the lot offering the same level of protection. I will let you know how I get on with it, cheers for the input guys.

The Case mate Tough in particular greatly improves grip and feel of the phone, without it the DHD feels quite slippery and it just offers good protection.
I think increasing the grip is a bit more important (sorry that I'm posting it on this thread). But the way the DHD was designed, it's a bit awkward to hold which kinda bothers me.
so yeah, getting a case = definitely worth it =)

Got my device yesterday and I'm still thinking of getting a leather case to protect my device against slips. But I'm also looking at hard rubber casing.
S-line curve gel case black
i just received S-line curve gel case
http://cgi.ebay.ch/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...ht_1588wt_1139
its a cheap good case, stylish , doesnt add bulk , adds very good grip on that mesh at the phone's sides , buttons r easy to use and they kinda pop out of the case so they r easily reachable (unlike other gel cases).
definitely recommend it as its very cheap and offers good protection and doesnt distorts the shape of the phone much.

Yes. I got it from Yodobashi Camera (a store) in Japan.
Funnily enough, I'm supposed to be reviewing 2 more cases from the same store today, my day-off (if I can wake up). They are both SoftBank branded cases. One is a TPU case and is almost the same but is different, and one is a leather one (which to be honest I don't like).

i just received S-line curve gel case
http://cgi.ebay.ch/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...ht_1588wt_1139
its a cheap good case, stylish , doesnt add bulk , adds very good grip on that mesh at the phone's sides , buttons r easy to use and they kinda pop out of the case so they r easily reachable (unlike other gel cases).
definitely recommend it as its very cheap and offers good protection and doesnt distorts the shape of the phone much.

Seems to be the same case for 2,10$
edit/ I just ordered myself one from there, but I guess it's going to take a long time

Otterbox Commuter Series Case for Motorola Photon Q
I've had this case of about a week now. It's definitely a very solid, well built case. I feel confident that my phone will be protected if I happen to drop it, and the case won't shatter in the process (I've had this happen before). My only real complaint is that the gripping surface on the outside of the case feels almost slippery. It's just plastic, no coating to provide a better grip surface, the back is nicely grooved though to provide some grip, and the rest of it does have some texture so it's definitely not a deal breaker.
The screen protector that comes with it is only so so. I'd recommend picking up a Skinomi or Phantom Skinz screen protector when they're finally released.
Overall I would definitely recommend this case, and I would buy it again if I had to.

Thank you for this, I've been eyeballing that case. Though, if the case lacks grip it won't work for me. Here's holding out for a kickstand case!
Body Glove case

Awesome! Let me know how it turns out, I might be able to forgive how ugly that thing is if there's a decent kickstand and some grip on the back.
At work we offer the otterbox for staff who get the iphone. Those of us with android have usually been left to fend for ourselves for accessories. The phone stays in my pocket when not in use and I'm not clumsy so I don't really think I need a case for it.
In regards to screen protectors, there were unconfirmed reports that the photon q has gorilla glass, has anyone found any validity to that?
My evo shift did have gorilla glass and it never scratched up on me.

Well I got it and not much to say except it has a kickstand It wasn't as ugly as the pic but its slicker than owl snot
Not sure what Body Glove was thinking. I could get the grip tape out and mod it a little...maybe make it kind of Ironman-ish LOL
But I might return it and stick to the OtterBox one, I have it as well and it's a good one.
So my 2 cents is; if you haven't bought one yet get the Otterbox for sure. Or you could wait, I am sure more styles are on the way.
Thanks for the review. Mine comes in later this afternoon.

IIRC it does have some sort of "nano coating" that makes it very hard to scratch. But my experience has been that no matter how hard it is to scratch I eventually will, so I always get a nice screen protector. I normally stick with Phantom Skinz, they've always done an excellent job of protecting my screen.
Just got the commuter in black and loving it so far! Feels good and has protection all over phone! Something other case I don't see do. For some reason I hate those cases for qwerty phones that has opening and not solid cover pieces for the whole phone

I got the case as well, and the only thing I don't like about it is the screen protector - it doesn't seem like it was designed to fit the screen, at all!?!
I guess I'll get another screen protector from another company. The case itself is good, my only other gripe would be it needs to be grippy on the back - the hard plastic just causes the phone to slide everywhere!!

Yes the screen protector sucks. I use it now til I find a better replacement but I notice otterbox is doing that now with screen protector in the commuter series. I guess to push people into the defender? But since we know they probably not going to make a defender model for the q the screen protector should be better!!! Girl I work with has the white one and i may trade for the white. But hers is already dirty and after awhile its gonna look like crap. Also seems like the white one uses a different kind of finish. Seems thick with case on but next to a epic is was about the same size

I already used the otterbox but when I would like to "release" it from my photon q, its really hard to dismantle the case on the lower part (keyboard part), cause there is no "grip" for our finger..any suggestion?

I like the commuter series Otter Box on my Q but the case around the screen isn't perfectly snug. It has a small amount of play in it anyone else had this problem? or should i probably trade it in for a new one

+1. Not a big fan of the play either, because it does rub on that shiny edge... But oh well. I doubt a new case would solve it.
I used to have a piece of paper folded in my old phone and case so it wouldnt budge.
anyone know if this case is compatible with the vehicle dock? (the otterbox for the Photon 4G blocked the data connector to the vehicle dock.)

No sadly it is not compatible unless you cut off the rubber flap that blocks the ports... if manage to do that then it is still a pain to fit in the dock even with the adapter plate removed... i take it out of the case when it is docked

thank you for the info.
Anyone hear or try this yet?
Just got mine from radio shack last night. They had a deal if you buy a case for over $50 you get a $25 gift card so I bought it earlier than I expected. The case feels awesome! I had a Seidio OBEX since they came out. It broke on me once since August. This ATLAS feels so much better. I only have two complaints as of right now.
One is at the joint where the two parts meet by the volume rocker, the case doesn't seem to close the whole way. It is very slight and probably not noticeable to the everyday consumer but I look for all these kinds of things. I did do a water test though and the case works perfect. I am just afraid of what it will do over time. After Christmas, when I have more time, I will go back to radio shack and compare it with another Atlas case to see if mine is defective.
Number two is the glass screen protector. It feels and looks amazing! However when I woke up this morning there is a big water mark inside where the two pieces of glass meets. Hopefully this will go away with time. I am going to try and wipe it down a little better later and see. This case is great and I would definitely recommend it to someone. It feels better than the OBEX by far all around. I have also tried a lifeproof nuud case and didn't like that. The lip around the screen was too high and it made it hard to press the outside of the keyboard and the capacitive buttons.
This is definitely the best case that I have found so far. I will update this in the next few days after testing the speakerphone and other things. No one could even understand me on speaker with my OBEX.

How do you think this would compare with the lifeproof cases? I have one on the way.
Personally I don't really like the life proof cases. I tried a life proof nuud on my S4 and wasn't impressed at all. I don't like that both cases for the S4 are clear. I have had clear cases on my phones before and they get dirty. Also on the life proof nuud, it was very hard to press along the outer edge of the screen and the capacitive buttons.
As an update to my post earlier, I tried the speakerphone and my wife said it is definitely worse than the OBEX. She said it is unbearable to talk to me in this Atlas on speakerphone. Also, I tried a phone call just through the regular ear piece and the mic and the person on the other end couldn't even hear me. I opened the charging port and then everything was fine. This is a common trick with the life proof cases as well. Disappointing but not a deal breaker for me. I love the glass screen protector, even though it is a fingerprint magnet.
As for the gap by the volume rocker and the water mark or rainbow effect I spoke of earlier, I tried to put the phone in without my back cover on and it took care of both my problems. There is no noticeable gap and I see no marks on the screen. However, I am noticing a difference in the touch sensitivity. I am going to either contact Incipio or go straight to Radio Shack and see if I can get another case because I am starting to think this one might be defective.

I have an obex case on the way. I have read and watched dozens of reviews on the obex case and every review I saw recommended that one. I also read that with the glass screen protectors there should be no rainbowing effect, so if you have a rainbow on the screen it's prolly a defective case. My case comes tomorrow so hopefully I like it lol. If not, I can always return! Freaking 80 dollar case better be good!

The OBEX is not a bad case. It has protected my phone countless times. It was just worn out and when I was researching which waterproof cases were the best the Atlas was always on the top of the list. When Incipio said they were coming out with an Atlas case for the S4 I has to try it. I am going to try and get a replacement.

I had the Lifeproof Nuud and had to return it. Went through two of them and they both leaked. Since you've have a Lifeproof and now have the Incipio, which one is thicker? How secure do the headphone and USB port covers feel on the Incipio? Lastly, is the USB port opening big enough to accept a range of different size plugs?
Thanks for your help ahead of time.
I tried to exchange my atlas at RadioShack today and they tried to make me pay to exchange it. I think the kid was confused and I didn't have a while lot of time to waste, so I will be going through Incipio now.
As far as a comparison to the Lifepproof Nuud, I would say the are the same size. The ports are a thicker rubber than on my Seidio OBEX but they are harder to press in. The OBEX ones would clip together. The charging port is not the widest opening of the cases. The OBEX was definitely bigger. I have a hard time getting my car charger to fit in there, however my factory charger has no trouble whatsoever.

That's odd that they wouldn't let you exchange it. I buy nearly nothing from Radio Shack but you would think they would exchange it if it was within the 30 day return period.
Thanks for answering my questions. One more though. How do you open this case? I ran by Radio Shack today and I couldn't get it open. I wasn't expecting them to have any but they did.
There are five release buttons along the sides. Two on the volume rocker side and three on the side with the power button. Once you push those you can pry the top from the bottom

I got myself an Atlas at my Radioshack in ny ( I work there ) , first one had the same problem with the gap between the volume rocker , I had it exchanged and still I can see a little of the blue waterproof rubber in the same volumen side , I really can't trust this case for water situations ... thinking about getting the seidio obex

I picked one up today at Radio Shack after having the speaker grille issue with the Otterbox Preserver after a week of use. To me this case is a mix of the Preserver and the Lifeproof Frē.
I've already placed a few calls and have had no issue with the call clarity at all. People have heard me fine and I've been able to hear them.
I like the tempered glass and the fact it doesn't have the mesh over the speaker grilles like the Preserver. What I don't like so much is how the ports are latched closed. I did the water test for 30 mins and it passed without a drop of moisture getting inside. It feels like it latches securely around the phone, but I do notice the blue gap around the volume rocker and power button. I wish it latched like the Preserver does. That thing feels like it would take a bomb blast before coming apart.
All in all, I'm happy with it. I like the looks of it better than the sorta plain looking Seidio Obex. I don't see why this case gets all the 1 star ratings on Amazon for sound quality.

The menu and back buttons work just fine. I really do love the tempered glass protector. I have noticed more of the gap with the phone in the case not closing firmly. I can actually run my fingernail through it and pry the case up easily. If the phone dropped, I'm sure the case would come undone. If it didn't have the gap and closed firmly, this would be a great case.
Otterbox already has my replacement Preserver in the mail. I might hang onto both for a bit and see if the mesh on the Preserver rips again.

Hmm, i really love the Seidio. I have two of them. Thought the first one was defective but it wasnt, so they sent me another free of charge (still have both). I really like it, VERY durable. 100 percent waterproof. I love when i spill stuff on it i literally wash it lol. No sound quality issues either. Just the button thing but its not like its unusable.
Thanks for the feedback
Incipio Atlas S4 Case Black/Pink $30 at Paydeals
I bought the Incipio Atlas S4 case at paydeals for $26 dollars after entering promo code (paydeals). I beleive that was the promo code for a discount. The promo code is for first time users.
I have the same gap that others talk about with the blue seal exposed around the edge. I tested it under water and it worked. Really like the case but i can't compare to others.
Note: careful prying the case open as the tempered glass can crack if the wrong pressure is applied. I am able to open the case easier by prying the center and pushing the release buttons then working around the bottom. Just beware... and don't put too much force opening it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01547WEPC?psc=1&ref_=ya_aw_od_pi&tag=androidcentral00-20&m1k=vb_ac
Came in today ... Initial impression: really liking it! Low profile, little to no bulk added, fits nice and snug and adds a great grip! Power and volume buttons still easily identifiable and responsive ... Seems like it'll provide decent protection, but hopefully I won't have to test that aspect of the case [emoji12]
Will update as I get more time with it, but seems like it'll be worth the 12/13 bucks!

It's not as soft and sticky as some other TPU cases I've used. It's a bit more rigid than your typical TPU and not as "sticky" ... slides in/out of my pocket and case easily.

I received my i-Blason in the mail today. I've been using the very case you linked. The i-Blason one is without a doubt easier to hold. It provides so much more grip compared to the plastic snap-on case. The snap-on case does seem to provide a slightly larger protective lip on the front of the case, so the screen won't touch a flat surface when face down.
While I've only had the i-Blason for a few hours, so far it seems like a great deal. Especially for those that want to show off their backside. (Pun intended) The snap-on case is still another great deal and despite it's defects I still like it, I already miss the feeling of the ridges on the power button. I think everyone should keep in mind that both cases seem to be minimalists cases, in which they will protect the phone from simple scratches, bumps, and minor drops.
Cool, thanks for the info. I just ordered the i-Blason a couple of hours ago.
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
So I have to say I am a little less enthusiastic about this case thank I hoped I would be. I already submitted a return request through Amazon. I find that the edges of the case are not well done, they are squishy and don't tightly hold to the phone. I guess I am spoiled by the Incipio Octane, which the phone "snaps" into and literally fits perfectly, no movement, no squishy.

So I have to say I am a little less enthusiastic about this case thank I hoped I would be. I already submitted a return request through Amazon. I find that the edges of the case are not well done, they are squishy and don't tightly hold to the phone.

I skipped every other case and ordered a Incipio Octane Frost last week. I could already tell from the increased price and reviews of each product that there was a good quality difference there. Though my Moto X is not here yet the case came in and it is top notch. I would expect most cases of quality be around $20 and not less.
That i-Blason is so clear it looks like it can get beat up real quick. Even though it is less visible, I prefer frosted.

I'm surprised, the edges on mine feel pretty darn solid and tight.
I did email the company when my case didn't ship out when expected and they got back to me and stated there were quality control issues causing the delay. Perhaps they sent you out a bad one??

I just got my iBlaison clear case: it's OK. The cut-out on the back is off-center. I hope this doesn't stain as badly as my G3's, where the case picked up dark smudges around every corner and edge of the case. And, the stains doesn't come off since I tried cleaning it with soap and water.
Damn. Got an email from amazon saying mine shipped today but not due til the 20-22. WTF? I ordered 2 weeks ago as preorder. Said they would be in stock on the 15th, so it is shipped early, but damn. Two weeks to get it after shipping?

I ordered this today as well. I like what I'm hearing in this thread. I'll get mine on Wednesday. This seems pretty good until a slightly better clear case comes along. I dig Spigen cases, so hopefully they'll make one for this phone.

That's what happened to me. I waited two weeks for the case and it shipped from (I think) China because the shipper was DHL International.
Just got mine. It's a decent case, but not perfect. Not sure what to expect for cost. I have rubber back and I feel safer now with case on grip wise. MUCH easier to handle 1 handed. I have big hands and was never concerned about size of phone. I don't have 100% fit around buttons or directly across. Bottom half fits better. My phone has tendency to run warm. Can feel warmth thru case. Current temp 105. I have white front /back, so I'm definitely grateful to have something on this versus bumper. I usually never use a case, but felt prudent to do so with this phone. I think people will be okay with this case. Not perfect, but it doesn't suck either.

I agree with above. It's not air cushioned like some Spigen clear cases are, but it's actually more supple and durable than I thought it might be. I ordered the Case Mate Naked Tough case today, and this should do fine until that comes.

Personally I'm not a fan. I'll be returning it
The top and bottom edges are very loose

I will be ordering it. Will post feedback later.
Thanks for the info.
