i think the rubber part should be fine. im paranoid about the camera lens cover. whether im setting the phone down and it happens to be camera corner first, or whether im sliding it across the table. the camera cover makes me too paranoid to use it without my rengke slim case

The soft touch plastic comes off pretty easily. My gf has already scraped some of hers off from not paying attention while plugging in the usb charger. If you use the phone without a case, eventually you will wear through one of the corners while sliding the phone in and out of your pocket. The HTC 8x was one of the first soft touch phones, and owners of that device had to learn the hard way.

Yes. I like how this case lowers the camera off the surface you put it on.

So i should go with the extra bulk of a slim case, such as ringke, and live happy
Still searching a pouch, a sleeve, that can hold the phone with or without the ringke slim with bottom holes for notification led and magnet for auto on/off the screen

Why A Case? Why not...

Why A Case? Why not an entire metal or aluminum replacement for the back of your Epic and a screen protector for the front?
Anyone know of a place where I can get one of these in metal?

Kinda wishin I did 3D printing now
+1 on battery cover instead of case. Not too sure about metal though, because won't metal interfere with signal? Can't wait for extra battery cover to come out so that I can. Paint it myself.

I never thought about the whole signal thing, but I wouldn't mind trying it out anyways. It would add style, durability depending how it is built. I am thinking some rubber bumpers on the inside to protect it from shock. This phone did cost a grip - so forgive me if I want to make sure I dont damage it prematurely.
The fascinate already has its battery cover for sale on samsung online store...why not the epic. ugh samsung, whaaii?!
Yeah...metallic back! Sweet! I want a brass mesh so I could show off the insides, too! That'd be cool.
/snicker
Metal would almost certainly have an impact on signal. There are things you can do to avoid it, like making sure the metal is placed in a way where it will not cover the antenna, but you would need to know a lot about the phone to do that. You can test this out very easy, get a piece of aluminum foil and place it over the back of the phone. Use an application like "Real Signal" to get a reading of how much it hurts/helps your signal.
I need a new battery cover already also. The rubber coating is peeling off the back of mineon the corners. :-(
at the very least a replaceable rubber grip back cover pref with galaxy branding. my vote goes to rubber bamboo combo
After chillin with the phone for a while I'm kinda getting used to the default hardware. I could use a rubber case though. One that wrapped around the whole phone and incorporated a screen protector.

Perfect
I have one, grey colour. After trying many cases, I think this one does the best job. It protects well and also leaves the phone accents to be easily seen.
Sure, I am not the biggest fan of TPU cases as they tend to loose in time, but this one is actually quite ok.
And one more thing: it definitely does not scratch the metal edges.

it's not a bad case,but beware if there's a dust will scratch the silver side of note 4...
also after 2month usage,the bottom of the case start loosing,but typical problem for tpu case after some times
Got similar TPU case and had to cut out the buttons they are so sensitive on this device it was going out and on up and down all the time
I have the grey one, it is very cheap. I don't like it, it fits well and is slim but I don't like the feel, shiny and rubbery makes it feel very cheap to me...I know it is cheap but I don't want my phone to end up feeling cheap
I would love to see pictures of a phone in this... right now there're just pictures of the backs themselves...
Hi,
I have a question to OP. Is the TPU case thick enough to protect the back camera from touching the ground surface when placing on table or floor etc?
I have purchased a cheap TPU case before but it leave the back camera exposed to the potential of scratching when placing on table. Currently using Spigen Neo Hybrid which works perfect but look a bit bulky.
Thanks.
I just hate the sticky rubbery feel of TPU. Just feels cheap to me. Also these TPU cases tend to sag and loosen over time.
I have this and a diztronic, diztronic is in a whole different league, still essentially a rubber case but so so much better and doesn't feel cheap.

VRS DUO GUARD CASE. Very nice.

Wassup guys just a little review. Got my 1st case in today. Wish i had the phone to go inside it. 2 part case.
1st impressions....very nice case. Great feel to it. Light and comfortable. May be a little slippery but not too bad. Sides do offer some grip tho with rubberish material. Great finish on it with the coral blue. Kick stand feels decent stays in place when open and snaps back closed when needed. Button press seems like it will be fine but cant tell until phine arrives. Over all protection id rate 6 out of 10.
1 of the things i noticed first was how thin the case was. This is not a bad thing. Im comming from a note 4 with a verus thor case and can fit the new case almost inside the verus thor note 4 case. This is good relating to actual phone size. My note 4 was slightly too large to properly hold it in my hand. This seems like it will be nearly perfect for me.
2 things im worried about.....when the phone is in the case and face down im hoping it leaves a gap between the surface and screen. I believe it does but again i need my phone to tell.
2 inner part of kickstand. Im worried about it somehow scratching the back glass of the phone. Anyone know where to get a rear body plastic protector?
Check out some pics. Hope this helps.
Nice. I was checking those out. I bought 5 Thors for my N4 at $3 each. Waiting for that sale again from Verus. Bring on the N7!
Buy a premium metal glass phone and put it into a plastic rubber case breaks my heart. Waiting for the drop tests if it's durable I will add skin on the back to only remove those finger prints and make the phone less slippery. Maybe some mental frame would be cool too, but then phone becomes more bullky.
I got the VRS TPU case. Looks pretty awesome so far!

Minimalist heaven

So, I have always hated taking a beautiful sleek phone and encasing it in thick plastic or giant black cases. With waterproofing etc phones go more places than ever but I've hated most of the semi thick case options. Bulk, feel, thickness.
Enter the TORRAS crystal clear case (Amazon). I've purchased cheap hard plastic thin cases before looking for light corner protection but ultimately a good feel and no bulk. They were OK. This thing is exactly what I want. If you're a minimalist case person. Highly reccomend.
PROS:
Matches the whitestone screen cover near perfectly. No spacing on sides (goes straight from screen protector to case) and maybe a millimeter at top and bottom)
Raised lip top and bottom for screen protection
Its slick so slides in and out of coat pockets and jeans easy yet grips enough in hand
Rubbery feel has SOME impact protection. Especially in corners.
Has seperate sections for camera and finger sensor. It has actually kept me from touching the camera 100% of the time. Don't know why others don't do this.
Dot pattern inside keeps the "wet spot" look way
Colored edges (optional) give a great look.
It was 13 bucks. It's almost a no brainer.

I like the case but find it a bit slippery to hold. The sides are pretty slick.
Nice case, but I Prefer no button covers...

When new it was good with grip. After a few days and the oils built up on the case it became more slick.

[suggestions] Best Case For A2

Hi guys, after some experience with different A2 cases, I want to recommend this one:
- Built-in attachment to the car magnetic phone holder.
- A ring to stabilize the phone on a table.
- covers the back cameras completely.

Beware that the part with the stand and the magnetic area protrudes alot, too much for me at least, really afraid to bend the phone at the first occasion.
I bought it in red, they called it iron man case.. At first I thought it was metal back but it's all plastic.. Overall it's good and covers camera bump nicely
One thing I noticed is that my case is not magnetic at all.. Black square at back doesn't stick to any type of steel or metal.. I try to peel it off, to see if any glue under but nope it just plastic

The metal part is supposed to be attached to a magnetic stand like car holders which have strong magnets. The case doesn't have any type of magnets. It's just metal.

Damn, I should've gotten this one then. I got a different one cause I thought that metal part was a magnet and was afraid of GPS issues.
