I am looking to buy a case for my new white HTC One X and I don't want a translucent case.
It will be this or the Diztronic Black case.
What do you think?
I saw this case at amazon
Mercury Slim Fit TPU Case for HTC ONE X (Fits AT&T)
Thanks,
Take it from the king of cases- get the diztronic. It's the best TPU case I've ever bought and quite literally the only one I've ever actually liked. I think my case count is up to 22 now, and that's not including the few I've given away on this forum, and the Diztronic is my second favorite case. Considering the fact that I absolutely despise TPU cases, that says an awful lot.
What case is everyone using?
Exactly what the title asks.
This is not a thread for what you think is the best case out there. This thread is for you to post what case/s you use and your experiences with it/them.
It is also to help other users find new cases that they may like.
This thread will also be used for cleaning up the clutter of people starting new threads asking about cases they should use.
Maybe include a link if you think it's good.
Right now, I am naked and so is my phone. Only have a tempered glass protector on it.
As of now, the options will be limited, but this thread will explode as more cases become available.
No case, and no screen protector for me on any of my devices. Have never had a scratch or any other damage to any of my phones.
My Spigen Neo Hybrid Came in today - and I am very impressed with the quality of this case. I had the Spigen Neo Hybrid on my S5 and S4 and while I liked the case for those phones, the aluminum shell was kind of flimsy and while it looked good - it was not as durable as I might have liked - in fact the metal around the hole for the battery broke on one of the cases I was using.
After getting the new Neo Hybrid case, it looks and feels more like a premium case - the metal surrounding the case is very solid and has a very premium feel to it. All in all it adds a very nice level of protection without adding bulk - and it keeps that very high end feel that comes with the NOTE 4 outside of the case.
FYI - I have also installed a BODY GLOVE Screen Protector - it took a little getting used to at first - it does not cover the glass from side to side because of the curved edges - but it does cover the viewing area quite well and looks good too.

I got talked into a case at the T-Mobile store. They only had one to choose from, the Samsung S-View Flip Cover. I'm really liking it. The shell is thin and slightly hard, and I can access customized settings through the window without having to open the case.
It was $50, and at first I was going to go back and return it but after having it for a day I'm going to keep it.

You can get 50% off on that case directly from Samsung as a gift for registering your N4 with them. They give you 50% off on all of their accessories priced at $49.99 or less, you can order up to five accessories.

I an still probably going to buy a case just to have some protection before Otterbox gets released. And If sprint store doesn't honor Samsung coupon, then when the online order shows up, I'm returning original back to sprint...
I'm waiting for Seidio to release their Dilex cases. Had one for the note 3 and I love the metal kickstand. I'm hesitant on buying the Spigen Slim/Tough armor because I'm hearing bad things about the plastic kickstand.
Received my Neo Hybrid in Satin Silver, it is really nice, just need phone to put in it
I went with the White Spigen Slim Armor case for now, and may order the Slate or Champagne Gold (or both) later.

Using a Spigen Neo Hybrid Metal Slate case on my Note 4 right now. Otterbox Commuter case is ordered and on its way. Using Ringke screen protector(from Ringke fusion).
To hold me until I find something more protective that gets substantial positive feed-back, I'm now using the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Crystal Clear that I bought during the (now dead?) Spigen early-morning sales for $3.49 + $3.00 shipping. So far so good.
I'm using Spigen Ultra Hybrid case too. But is mint on the grip with clear back.

Before 2010, i used screen protectors and cases, because old smartphones (and PDAs) would scratch easily, not the case anymore, and since 2010 my phones is naked 100%
I keep jumping back and forth between naked and the Grey S-View.
Mostly the Spigen capsule in metal slate, the first of many Spigen cases i liked. And now the Obliq rugged slim case in Grey.

I ordered that one too, waiting for it to arrive in a few days. What I am looking forward to see is a case (like on my Note2) that replaces the back cover and only has a flap that covers the screen. This type of "case" is the thinnest and for me the most interesting. they are not available yet for the Note 4 though. here is a video of what I mean
I'll get my body glove satin case in black color in early of November, but won't be able to photo it with the phone, I'm waiting for samsung in my country release it's bronze gold color. lol
That will take long time
i ordered this one here loved the way it looked and it has a cover for your s-pen and lots of colors http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MP3OZME/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
ill have it by the 30th
For first time I found a tpu bumper on eBay today. Just like the one on my nexus 4. Also it comes from CA, AND IS 7$. Hoping it works with my qi back
Link?
No idea how to get a link on here. Go to eBay and type
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Hard Crystal Clear Hybrid Soft TPU bumper
I'm curious to see it when it arrives

Pretty sure this has a plastic backing, like any other case, and not a "bumper" design like Nexus 4.
I don't see in the pics any evidence of a back. I'll know soon enough. I'll report back. In the pics it shows nothing like a back
Tpu bumper very good
I RECIEVED my TPU bumper I ordered off Ebay. Very good. Reminds me of my Nexus4 bumper. S really hoping it would work with the QI backplate, but it doesn't. ALMOST.... But no. The bottom of the phone with the Qi case is just a tad in the way, so it doesn't allow the bumper to extend enough to keep the screen off the surface face down. Man, it would no take much of a change to make this work, I whisk someone would catch on and do it. They would sell a bunch. 6$ and it's everything I'd expect a true bumper to be. I'm still using it, just gotta wait I guess to use my TYLT VU
I just placed an order for Spigen Neo Hybrid case for my HTC One m9. I was wondering if anyone has experiences with these cases on previous HTC One devices. Also any good recommendations for a tempered glass screen protector would be awesome.
I have the Spigen crystal clear Hybrid on my silver M9 and I love it , But I will be purchasing a more protective case .

I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid Case for my M9.
It fits perfectly and looks awesome on the phone.
it protects the whole back and the sides. In addition it is a bit thicker on the top side (display), so it protects the display too, if you lay down the phone upside down.

I got the spigen neo hybrid for the m9. Looks fantastic and it does add some protection however I feel like it is not enough for everyday use. I will put this case aside for special occasions and will order a UAG case for everyday use

It's entirely plastic, and the power button doesn't have a special texture like the actual phone.

Got mine through Amazon Prime for $21.00. It's a nice case, but it's temporary until I can get a SEIDO OBEX once they are available.
Could any owners of the neo hybrid chime in on the button stiffness of the case? I find that I'm accidentally hitting the power button pretty frequently without a case.

I have the Neo Hybrid and love the hell out of it. I have the gunmetal M9 with the gunmetal case
The buttons are a bit stiffer but I still find that I hit it anyways. The location will take some time getting used to as I'm coming from the M7. BY FAR, THE BEST CASE I'VE SEEN AND FELT ON A PHONE!
Any other questions, feel free....
I got Spigen Thin Fit off ebay uk for £6.99 + delivery. It fits well and helps stop you hitting the power button by accident when you pick it up.
I have the silver M8 but got the Gunmetal one. It looks pretty good. Small lip on the left and the right. Only good for small drops directly on the back, front and sides, but very minimal.

this case is awesome its bulky and not bulky at the sametime - in fact, this case is just slightly larger than their crystal clear series, and because of the fact that this phone is still only 5", with the slight bulkiness, it actually makes the phone larger in presentation; a very good thing, the metalized buttons has very very good feedback, its easy to press (once applied on correctly) - everything fits just right! even better than their crystal clear series. - i got the black n gold. looks amazing.
@METALLICAM - the reason why you're saying the outer metalized buttons are hard to press is probably because you do not have the outer ring and the rubber case fitted correctly (this took me a few mins to figure out) because when you slap on the ring around it, it feels and looks like its "tight on" but its actually not, simply hard press/pull from the top of the phone, you'll see that the ring starts to slide-in more into the rubber mounts, and do that with the bottom speaker aswell.
I got both the Spigen Neo Hybrid and Strong-Flex cases and love them both. The strong flex is pretty thin and durable and the neo hybrid is good looking and durable also.

A little over rated. No doubt they are built to look really cool, but as far as protection goes it's not the best. Also touch wood it doesn't happen to you, but if you have any problems with it, getting through to their returns department is terrible.
Other than the after sales care, their cases are okay, but would recommend trying other brands, there's plenty available at decent prices
Hello,
I have a Moto X Pure on the way and I would like to get a case for it that allows me to show the phones back colors while protecting it to some degree and not make it so much larger and bulkier. The phones back color is Deep Sea Blue
The cases that stand out to me are the Incipio Octane, I-Blason Halo & Vena Retain. Do you folks have other suggestions ?
Any experience or input if those cases would allow the Blue to show through ?
Thanks,
Pete
I got a clear TPU case from EBay for $4 and its very slim and fell nice in hand since the back curves with the phone.
I just picked up a pleson clear case from amazon for 7.95 the other week, So far i like the case alot, its very slim and fits great
If you want a completely clear case and are comfortable with all TPU - then +1 on the Pleson: http://amzn.to/1NuSTcr, or if you want a hybrid (Colored TPU sides with a hard clear back) then the Vena Retain is a good choice too: http://amzn.to/1OCskTL.
I have both, and my personal choice as a daily driver is the Pleson. It's a bit slimmer and really shows off the back of my red leather. But either are good choices.
I have the i-Blason case. I think it was about $14 on Amazon. Thin. Shows the back fine and has a bumper (I got the black bumper). I think the only case thinner would be one without a bumper.
I appreciate all the info guys...I wonder what the difference between the I-Blason and Vena case is, are the materials the same, anyone have both ?

I use the Vena vskin, what I like about it is its totally clear, fits the moto x snugly, easy to push the buttons and the back isnt a hard plastic but softer so it doesn't scratch up at all, Plus it was cheap, got it off ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Flexible-Tr...id=100040&rk=1&rkt=4&mehot=pp&sd=381431952096

idk if it helps, but this is the aforementioned Incipio Octane. I wanted the same, a semitransparent case that was well made and would hold up and also still fit after i applied a dbrand skin. Incipio sells these on ebay directly. Express Depot is the name of their store, iirc.
i also bought a dual pro as that is my go-to case for any phone, but i keep going back to the Octane. pictures in ads/on websites dont do it justice.
i've got one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/12205791935...49&var=421092565560&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT from Poetic...they have with and without the black trimming...so you can go completely clear if you'd like.
