OK - after seeing this video, I'm pretty set on not using a case. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=py6zXJoS-cE
I was on the fence to start given that the phone is so darn huge already and I didn't want to add bulk. The one thing that got beat up in this video is the chrome bezel. Does anyone know of any of those full body protectors (similar to Invisible Shield) that have a piece for the sides/top/bottom? They don't all come with it and I have no plans to use screen protector or back protector, just cover the bezel.

Interesting argument, but I'll still use a case for now. I'm overly protective.

This phone is so stupidly big (not singling out the S5, they all are now) that there is a special one handed mode which shrinks the screen down so you can get to to the top left corner (if you are right handed). Need to do whatever we can to not add bulk.

i still will use a case, my phones go everywhere with me, and get banged around pretty good, some of my cases have quite a bit of wear on them that i would hate to be on the phone, a $5 plastic case off Ebay is cheap insurance, and lets you get a lil personal touch to it, this time i decided to go with the $30 case but being as how the phone is water resistant it will be with me at all times so it will probably get a lil more abuse.
Do you think it is safe to dont have a case? i think its not safe

insurance from cell carriers is an enormous rip off unless you are very high risk. phones depreciate too fast for the high monthly fee + deductible to be worth it.

Just got mines in the mail, The case is silicone , not hard or semi hard plastic, So will see how the wear and tear is, from my experience they tend to stretch out with heat and this phone is always hot when in heavy use.
It has some kind of coating that makes it non slippery in your hands but still able to put it in and take it out of your pocket with ease. The cuts on the bottom are off a bit. but it still feels snug to the phone, doesnt add any real thickness to it,
The extra head phones plugs are coo, They sent 3 of them, but on their website it shows a audiojack plug and usb plug, but i only received headphone plugs. I payed like 19$ for case plus extras (plugs), build quality is good, as long it doesnt stretch out over time i say its worth it... will take pic later if you want to see

So I wanted to protect the back glass with a screen protector since I would generally be laying the phone down on it's back. I got one of those "apply when wet" guards and it went on ok. The only problem is, the material is so soft, it basically makes a seal on a flat table which cuts off the speaker completely. I only noticed when I was missing text messages, that the sound was significantly reduced from laying it down.
So I got these rubber feet So far, so good. I was afraid they would come right off, but they are on there pretty good. If they do come off, I still have 92 left! I might remove my back screen protector, if these work out. They aren't too hard to get used to when holding, but they certainly don't look the greatest. I attached some pics.

agree, dont really like the idea of those rubber nubs, but I would think something a little less aggressive or strips running down the sides or tops. I like the idea, just not as pronounced.
I thought of this some time ago and actually sourced some 3M manufactured ones in transparent polyurethane with an acrylic adhesive. They make them as small as 6.4mm X 1.9mm. I have not found anywhere that sells them in anything less than bulk so I didn't order any. I am waiting to try a few more cases before I decide whether to do this, but am pretty happy with the diztronic TPU for now. My Poetic hardback is supposed to be here tomorrow. I am guessing that if the Poetic works well, and the phone will fit in it with the 3M pads on, I may go for it.
i bet you could find something at michaels.
It's not something I'd do, because how the device looks is a major selling point for me and this doesn't look great.
Not saying it's bad though, it's actually a very clever idea. I do worry about the back getting scratched and the muffled speaker is annoying, so nice job man :thumbup:

I have some extra feet from an old laptop that were supposed to go in the four corners of the screen so the screen wouldn't press against your keyboard. They're maybe 0.5cm wide. Definitely been thinking about doing this myself.
However, I got the bumper instead. Which is now making me think I might plastidip the backside of it so it becomes uber grippy.

Honestly, if you were gong to do something like this, I would suggest a few things.
Go to a cabinetry or hardware store, to look for the bumpers. You would be surprised at what they have.
A better solution, which I was thinking of is dynamat, the non aluminum version.
Take a sheet of plain paper, use a pencil to make an exact tracing of the back of the phone. Use the rubbing method to make sure you know the exact edges.
Overlay onto the dynamat, and use an exact knife to cut out your new back, and add sound channels. But it seems like a lot of work though.

It just has so many flaws, I don't even know where to begin. I'm sure many others will agree with me.
The build quality is just too good. It is so fast, I can't even see any animations. I need lag in my browser, or it just feels fake. The battery life lasts way too long for me to be able to break in the charger that came with it. The back is so smooth, I think I'm going to drop it. People are always wanting to see my phone, because it "looks so cool", that I can never play with it myself.

You could try putting an XtremeGuard on the back. Maintains the metallic look but adds some grip. But of course if you like the feel of the metal then... yeah probably not =\

I agree. I have mine in a Otterbox case, if I remove the case I have trouble holding the phone. I think any coating would hurt the appearance of the phone but there are clear plastic slip-on cases that might not look too bad?

There's a few test videos on YouTube, drop tests from 4ft/7ft/10ft, one of the tests was between the M7 and M8 and the other was between the M8, the G S5 and the iPhone 5S, the M8 got the best results in both test, only finally cracking at the 10ft mark in the latter video, not cracking at all in the M7/M8 video. Also another video shows scratch tests with a key, butchers knife, pocket knife and a hammer. Though it was hard to see in the video, the guy recording said there was next-to-no, if not NO scratches on the device, even after hitting it pretty hard with a hammer, though he used the back of the hammer and finally cracked it.
I think it's safe to say this phone is near indestructible, not saying you shouldn't still baby it but you can feel better about an accident that may happen if you drop it or what not, not to mention the 6 month screen crack insurance from HTC Advantage

I had the clear case with the black perimeter which I purchased with the phone at Big Red's store. I'm not sure, but I think the way the case's rubber sides was such that while taking off the case to access the microsd card I may have bent the metal near the volume buttons. That troubled me and forced me to put that case away. Big Red, thankfully, replaced my handset about a week later (I bought mine at 1:15 p.m. on 3/25/14), and I put a crystal clear TPU case on it which lets the Arctic Silver finish shine through.
I'm actually going to get my second replacement today... First had a small nick in the upper left corner, now this one has a strange bump in the center below the bottom speaker, resulting in warped metal. It wasn't there when I got it, but after some use it showed up. I guess be careful about applying pressure to the bottom corners of the device?
I feel like I'm being nitpicky, but idk... These are pretty glaring IMO.
Hopefully thirds a charm.

Beware of clear TPU: it will turn yellow over time... At least matte finish ones will.
I think diztronic makes the best slim and protective TPU cases. I recently got a translucent gray for my gray metal M8 and it's been great so far. Can't see all of the device's beauty, but it is see through.

I had a clear TPU but while minimal, it provided very little protection. I went back to the UAG. Great protection without a major additional bulk of the Otterbox defender.

So I lost my phone out of my pocket while riding my bike. Sprinting approx 40km up a hill. It jumped out, hit the road. And slid into the bushes. Front of the phone looks new back has some pretty bad scratches. But everything is pretty much fine. No dents no marks on screen. Was in a dot view case. A few scratches on the case and they instantly separated when impacting the ground, which kind of sucked.
That's funny because this feels like the most fragile android I've owned in 5 years. Mainly because my first one lived in my pocket but the camera still managed to get scratched to the point to where it was hard to find a spot on it that wasn't scratched. Now I don't feel comfortable carrying my phone at work. I carried my s4 everywhere with me for a year and not one scratch on the camera lens. This is my first phone with a screen protector on the camera lens.
That is why I have an otter box and a really expensive, tough screen protector. If you're planning on biking with your phone loose in your pocket, you may want to invest in those also!

ya the dot view case is cool but hardly serves the purpose of an actual case.
Should be a criminal offense to use a case for this phone.
Try and get a pair of arms not growing out of one's behind so the droppage is minimized.

Cases actually assist this phone in other ways than just protection. For one, they make the touchscreen less susceptible to undesired palm touches when using it one handed, and can hide the loose volume rocker issue many people have.

The phone is no longer slippery and won't fly out of your pocket.
I use it for mountain biking and it stays put no matter where I put the phone (shorts pocket, back of jersey, etc.)

I agree on the camera screen. Mine has a couple scratches as well. Never had any other phone do that. However the rest of the phone is scratch free which is even more strange. What protector are you using on the camera screen? I think I'm going to get HTC to fix it then apply a protector to it.

I thought I had a ton of scratches on my lens,I would wipe it off with a soft cloth and they wouldn't wipe off. Well today while sitting bored I just took my sleeve and rubbed with some pressure for a good 5 minutes. All those marks that looked like scratches all came of . Might try some alcohol on a qtip when I get home.
going back to the original op issue. I use the dot case when not biking and I use a otter box defender case mounted to the handle bars when riding. So far the otter box works very nice and does not come off on the bike ride. It takes around a minute to put the phone in the case every ride, but nothing to long.
one added bonus about the mounted otter box and m8. When listing to a talk podcast I sometimes do not use headphones, the speakers are plenty loud.

Whats up dude, yeah so i have the nuud. Purchased it about a month ago and its pretty good!! Took it to a waterpark and never took it out of my pocket and no water got into it.
Yes there are some cons but it is an amazing case.

Cons:
-There is no hole for a lanyard (rope thing)
-Capacitive Touch Buttons are a little awkward to press, but you get used to it.
-Speaker calls are pretty bad and you sound like you are in a tunnel, but normal calls (no speaker) sounds good
-The headphone jack cover is a flimsy rubber piece that can scare you but it does indeed work so its just a con because it causes fear.
Thats all that i have encountered and really they arent bad.
I currently have it on my phone right now and even went to the pool yesterday for a swim.

I feel like it really doesn't matter. The quality of screen protect that comes with the Otterbox is great. The nuud also has an optional screen protector which I don't use but might start because my screen is getting scratches.

Okay cool, make sure you report back with some pictures and stuff cause I also wanted the Otterbox but chose this one instead since my best buy didn't have any Otterbox preservers
i think for the price of the otterbox the seidio obex is better
Hi,
Currently I'm using Seidio Obex with holster and it is pretty good case. It is really waterproof case (I've check it ), and screen protect is amazing.
But there is couple things which are not so good, first of all sound is a bit muffled and second thing is that some ppl will complain about it size, but for me it isn't so important.
As a conclusion, I can only say that, for me personally it was really good purchase and I'm looking to buy additional car mount to holster. :laugh:
I have the nuud and its the best case I've bought. It comes with an optional scratch guard also in case you want to protect your screen without an annoying built in screen protector.
