I was fortunate enough to try out the amCase on the Galaxy S5. I received the case today and tried it on the phone. I must say, the case feels great in my hand and to me gives a good grip. The case has smooth edges and nothing rough. There is the "amCase" logo on the back of the case which is really no issue to me. The cutouts on the phone provide access to all ports. The volume rocker buttons and power button on the case seem true to where the actual buttons are on the case. The bottom of the case where the phone charger goes could be a little thicker in my opinion as you can see in the picture that it sags a bit. Overall I like the design and really like the back of the case where it is transparent. You can pickup the case from here http://amzn.to/1q8Pz9u

Hi guys,
Just sharing some pics and a mini review of this case I bought off ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-TPU-S...787545?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19ca929959
It fits really well, but the cut outs are a little off. The ones for the flash LEDs, camera, speaker and usb are perfect though.
Power and volume buttons are covered. Power button feels mushy to press, but the volume buttons are fine. Case fit is reasonably tight but you can still wiggle the sides of the case. But at USD1.99, can't complain.
The diamond pattern at the back of the case helps a lot with grip too.
Here are some poorly taken pictures.

The problem I have with most cases is that it lowers my wifi reception. Mine isn't terrible, but I definitely am losing some signal strength with my TPU case. A partial solution for me was to drill the top holes larger, but I still see about a 10db difference with the case on and with only my zagg shield.
PCtabletcases has a review of the Mini-Suit tablet+keyboard case, seems like there is a mix review of this case. But there is a lot of photos here so kudos to them.

YIKES really?!? Did you try lininig up the tablet and keyboard first before buttoning the two cases together?
Mine (with the Poetic name) did not scratch the tablet, but pealed up the "leather" right near the hinge. Just way too tight a fit. Really more material there than should be so the hinge is spread out wider than intended.

Not sure how many people use a case here but i noticed when looking around that they all have a very common flaw.
If it is placed on a flat surface, case creates a seal around the speaker. Can barely hear it. So i modded it
here is what i did, I took a lighter to soften up the case, then i pushed the top of the hole up so what it does not seal when you put it on flat surface.

To be 100% honest, I like that if I put it flat on my desk I can essentially mute my device and not have to turn the volume down. I think it is nice. Just have to be careful to not set it face up when expecting an important phone call
I noticed my spigen has a little bump in the back of the case now i know what its for! Its got 2 slits for the speaker and the piece of plastic between the 2 slits is where the bump is, Wow spigen slim armor was a good choice lol
After trying all the other slim hard cases that were available on Amazon. I finally found, the one I like the most. I should say, Vostrostone Ultra-thin PC Hard Case Cover are the best so far. They add no bulk what so ever and sometimes, I even forget the fact that I have the case on my phone. Fits tight and does not feel like its going to fall off the phone anytime. As with any minimalist case, this does not provide all around protection but the lip is raised on the glass that might protect incase your phone falls face down. Since, I baby my phones, I dont think that should be an issue for me.
It has all the perfect cutouts for all the ports, along with the camera, Mic and sensors in the back.
If you still looking for one: I would say, take the plunge you will not regret.

Thinking about getting this case. Seems good and is curved at the back just like the way Mi5 original body is. And would look perfect if you have one for the Gold Mi5s.
Any opinions?

iPAKY looks better than Imak Case http://pl.aliexpress.com/item/Origi...er-Fashion-Luxury-Color-Baby/32645757737.html
Hi, I got this case by accident, and I can assure you it's absolutely dreadful.
I haven't even managed to fit my phone in it correctly and it definitely does not offer much in terms of protection.
(it's very low profile/thin etc. but I don't care if I can't put my phone in it)
My advice would be to absolutely avoid it.
The same manufacturer makes a pretty decent one .
It not nearly as thin and discrete but it offers real protection and has a (very small) front lip that protects the screen.
That's the only decent one that I found.
