Hey guys. I am thinking of getting a TPU case to go along with my ballistic aspira. Looking to me like cruzerlite is the way to go, but was wondering if anyone had any others I haven't thought of. I know my wife loves her diztronic tpu for her iPhone 5. Any help is appreciated.

Cruzerlite is always a good choice

Cruzerlite ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2371846 ) and Diztronic are great choices. Samsung makes a 'Protective Cover +' ( http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EF-PI950BNESTA-gallery ) case and if you registered and got the 50% off code it's worth looking into. Hope this helps.

hey guys
so i wanted you opinion on the ottorbox defender case and the case mate tough case... for the sumsang infuse 4g
ottorbox:
http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Inf...color=20&start=1&cgid=samsung-infuse-4g-cases
casemate:
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Infuse-4G-Cases/Case-Mate-Samsung-Infuse-4G-Tough-Cases.asp
my main reason for asking is:
the thickness of the cases and how well it does in day to day life...( i can see the ottorbox is bit on the bulky side hence why im asking)
and
how is the screen protector on the case mate tough case?
i posted the sites of both the cases.
any help is appreciated
I'd go with the casemate over an otter, but check out my case.

Shared it in another thread. It's very protective and non-bulky.

my silicrylic will be coming in today, I still got the 'texting/driving can wait' protection just to be safe lol.
The incipio silicrylic is a very nice case.
Good choice of case.

Both are nice. I'd go with the Otterbox I suppose.
I love my Ballistic HC case. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Infuse-Ballistic-Black-Holster/dp/B005BTBGEO
Personally I will always stand by otterbox. Great cases
I love my Otterbox...
I originally had one for my iPhone, and dropped it at work from, seriously no joke, 20 feet up... not a scratch on the phone itself.
Just a little gouge in the case, but the phone still worked flawlessly!
Is anyone using a bumper style case, if so any recommendations.
Found this on ebay

rubberized?
I'm interested in a bumper as well but I'd prefer a rubber one, similar to the one iPhone 4 got after the Antennagate scandal.
RE: Aluminium Bumper
I just received mine after ordering it last week and it fits pretty well. Looks a few nano-meters off at some places and build quality i'd put at 8.5/10 but for a bumper under $15 i'd say go for it.
Also i got the silver brushed aluminium one and based on the design quality, id say the blue one would get scuffed pretty easily.
Hope this helped...if it did you know where the thanks button is :cyclops:

I ordered and received three different ones from Amazon:
rooCASE
Photive Hybrid
Poetic
All three of these are EXACTLY the same. No difference at all. So, if you want one of these, order the cheapest one.
I also ordered a couple others, which have not yet been received:
Case Square
KaysCase
I hope that these other two will be softer. The top ones are harder plastic.
UPDATE - These two are a little softer, but both have a cutout on one of the corners for a strap, which makes damage more likely if you drop it. I've stuck with the first models above, and been happy. One thing I especially like is that these bumpers aren't slick, so they very slightly stick in your pocket, making it so that they won't fall out unless you pull them out - nice.
With my S2 I used to have the Neo Hybrid EX bumper, and that was the perfect bumper - silicone inside, harder plastic outside. Spigen didn't make this for the S3, so we probably won't see it for the S4 either, unfortunately.
i ordered the grey Aluminum one last night. ill be lucky to get it in like 3 weeks. haha
This would look similar to those you see here G.lider aluminum bumper

im waiting for this to come in the mail. does anyone have experience with this case. i mainly bought it for the finger grips and that it has rubber buttons. it doesnt have a name brand tho
as of right now I'm using the ringke fusion case but I'm not liking the bulky size, how easily broken is the back when it comes to bumper plus the skin for antiscratch or suck it up and use the case?
also can anyone recommend thinner case for the n4?

If you want true see through case you only have the rinkle and the bumper
If your not looking for true see through look for some transparent tpu cases out this plastic ones

I have the black leather d band skin and a poetic black bumper. Looks great. Prevents scratches. I rarely drop my phone, and when I have I felt the bumper defiantly helped from scuffing up the sides. I hate cases. Hopefully the n5 will not be do fragile, so in can go naked like I normally do.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
all though the bumper will add width to the device.. if you have small hands it might be an issue, like it did for me lol. Ive been wanting to try the poetic bumper but cant seem to find on amazon nor ebay, the color i want that is.
Also, the back is not drop protected with the dbrand skin, even tho you wont see it if its cracked either. So its a win win

I am really struggling on whether or not I should go buy a Lifeproof or wait till this case comes out....
Always been a fan of otterbox, looks comfortable in the hand, and looks like it offers awesome protection..

Not for $90

Just bought the nuud Lifeproof case and it is actually an awesome case! The fre had too many problems for me.
I think otterbox is a little late to the game. There are many other options already. I do like the idea of the nuud case. Keeping my glass screen protector would be great.
I am getting my Note 5 on Tuesday and am looking for suggestions on cases. Right now I have a Spigen neo hybrid on my s6 but I don't like how scratched the back has become. However I don't want to hide the beauty of this phone.
Suggestions?
I'm using a Cruzerlite until my UAG comes in.

I got the incipio dual pro shine, but for you I think a clear tpu is best, all others will scratch. Sgp has that might be called liquid crystal if I remember correctly.

I hate cases, but am using the spigen ultra thin liquid crystal clear tpu case.
Phone still looks good, and very little bulk added.
I will never own or use an Otterbox... Way too bulky for my tastes.
I just got the Obliq clear case with kickstand. Very happy with it thus far. It doesn't add much to the bulk of the phone, seems to offer good protection, is clear and allows the beauty of the phone to show through, retains the curve of the phone, and has a kickstand that functions well. I'd highly recommend it!

Thank you for all your responses. They are all great options. I used to only use otterbox defenders but with phones getting better looking I like to see them. I am leaning towards with the Spigen or obliq now. Unfortunately it won't be delivered till tomorrow and I still haven't ordered a case so I hope I can keep it in good shape till I do.

Just a heads up. I discovered that the Obliq case uses a magnet to keep the kickstand shut and it was causing the spen to not work where it was. I'm trying to find a way to dampen it so I can continue using the case

Thanks for the heads up.
I purchased the Samsung protect case today from T-Mobile. It is by far the most minimal case I have seen...the sides of the phone are completely open. It is not cheap, but I am loving it so far!
I swear by Incipio cases. Using a Incipio Dual Pro Hardshell cases with impact absorbing core. Red color. I've used them for my HTC m7 & M8. Returned both phones in pristine condition.
