Non smooth case

I'm looking for a slim case that is non smooth. I have the Neo Hybrid which is a good case but it slides out of my hands a lot. Need a case with a little grip on the sides. Any suggestions?

I have the Diztronic case, feels great in hand, never feel as if I'm going to drop it like I did naked or with the Neo hybrid case.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Verus Ironshield vs Spigen Neo Hybrid Metal

Has anyone put their hands on both of these cases? I basically narrowed down to one of these. They are strikingly similar to me on paper. I just want to see if anyone can push me one way or the other. Thx.

Hi,
I got SGP Metal Case. It fits perfectly and protects my Note. However, after unmounting couple of times the metal frame slightly bend and no longer adhere (<-- used translate on this word ) as perfectly as before.

Both are practically the same but it all depends how much you want to spend and the colors you want to get.

Go for spigen
The spigen looks slicker in real world, plus the side button implementation is way better than verus.
The verus buttons have a rubbery feeling while pressing which I don't like.

Have the Spigen Neo-Hybrid one, must say it is pretty nice.
Only downside would be if you are constantly swapping out batteries.
Taking off the case is a little annoying, but I haven't yet as battery life is
pretty decent on 4.4.4.

Should post pics or at least links of both for comparison

+1 for Neo Hybrid. It's solid, the buttons work great, it's real easy to grip, and it's about as small as a useful case can be.

Thanks for all input. I just disordered the blue Neo Hybrid metal case. It looks really sexy based on one of the YouTube reviews.

Good choice on the SGP. I had the Verus at first and found the buttons (power and volume) very difficult to press - as if there was no tactile feel. I switched over to Neo hybrid metal and the buttons feel 1000 times better. I narrowed this down to the tpu inlay of the Verus not having cutouts for button placement. SGP has segmented cutout for the buttons which gave it great button feel. In fact you can use the SGP tpu inlay and the Verus metal bumper fits over it fine with very marginal differences.

The neo hybrid started wearing and scuffing the aluminum off my Note 4. I could see silver in the corners of the case.
After I got a replacement I went with a clear I-Blason to avoid the wear and have good protection. Plus less bulky.

How does it get scratched with TPU in between?

Received the Blue Neo Hybrid Metal Bumper. It looks very slick. The buttons are great. The only downside is that not the whole bumper is blue. The champhered portion is chrome. I wish it was anodized aluminum like the Verus Ironshield, but the Verus doesn't have the slick button implementation. I guess there isn't a perfect case.

Have you tried using the heart rate monitor sensor on the back with Neo Hybrid case on? The gap was small and you can hardly get a good stable reading as u need to squeeze the finger tip into that deep cut out. Secondly the metal bezel is brushed but yet susceptible to scratches. As my first case is Spigen Neo Hybrid, it does finely scratched the bezel over the time when i remove it to replace the battery.

Speck Mightyshell Case for the V10 - Best case So Far ?

Picked up the Speck Mightyshell for the V10 last night and it just might be the best case so far the V10. It feels nice and rugged without adding much bulk to the phone. The fit and finish are top notch. There are two things that I don't like, the case leaves the front metal edges of the sides exposed (maybe they were trying to compensate for the fingerprint scanner) and every time you remove the phone from the case it rips the back cover off the phone.
Let me know what you think about this case.
Otherwise a great feeling and fitting case. Worth $55.00 Nope, but here are some pictures:

$55 is way too much money. I love my $18 Spigen Slim Armor.

+1 on the Spigen Slim Armor

Sorry, that case is just plain ugly, bulky and over priced. ???

It doesn't cover the metal bars. Seems a major dirt trap to me and that price tag OUCH.
THE OBLIQ is pretty nice imo

I have 5 different cases & I absolutely love the OBLIQ.
Fit is PERFECT & the price is right.

Yeah $55 is a lot of money, but this phone is worth it. If there is a holster that it fits in I'd buy it now.

Honestly I like the Obliq case the best, the texture is the closest to the original back, and there is extra texture on the sides for added grip.
They are all nice cases and well worth the purchase.

How do you like the Tudia case. I'm currently using the ringke but the back clear area is too slick for my liking.
Thanks in advanced

The Tudia one is my second favorite one actually.
The back is smooth but not slippery, gives the phone a clean look if you like that instead of the textured back.

Who has this case and is willing to sell it? PM me.

Inicpio charging over $30 and Speck charging over $50 for cases in stores when so many case makers online sell them for $10-20 has always confused me...

Anyone reading this thread and trying to decide, buy the OBLIQ.. its $9.99 :laugh:

Agreed... Really like the OBLIQ look and feel.
I don't care for the look of the case in the OP of this thread.

I was never a fan of anything from Speck. Just never liked their cases.

What case do you use on Nexus 6P?

Hey guys. I just decided to try Nexus 6P. Looking for some great cases to protect it! But also I don't wanna spoil the original look of it since the design's so unique and beautiful!Just got two clear cases for my former Nexus 6 from AMZ and looks wonderful, yet the clear case get darken yellowed after few weeks using, so just share your N6P case experience here and enjoy!

Long response incoming:
I initially bought a official microfibre Adopted case (in carbon) from Google along with my N6P (aluminium). I paid full price for it, but I thought it was worth the premium for an official case and the design was cool and unique. Massively underwhelmed when I received it, because it's nothing more than a generic TPU case with a thin "sticker" of microfibre on the back, which I sensed would be prone to staining and, over time, peeling. The fit was also really tight and button presses weren't that responsive. I decided in the end that the Nexus branding wasn't worth the premium, so I returned it.
I then ordered a charcoal Diztronic case. I've had good experiences with Diztronic in the past, having used their case on my Galaxy Nexus as a daily driver. It was cheaper than the Spigen Rugged Armor and I appreciated the minimalist aesthetic, not being a fan of the faux carbon fibre pattern on the Spigen. The fit and finish was great, and the buttons were clicky and responsive. My only minor niggle was the cutout for the camera sensor wasn't completely accurate, as it cut off part of the circle surrounding the sensor (100% an aesthetic oversight with no impact on function).
I then bought a Speck Candyshell Grip (in white) during the Black Friday sale, when it was 50% off. Definitely my favourite case of the three I've tested so far. It provides the most protection (being a dual-layer silicone and polycarbonate hybrid), looks striking, and, as the name implies, provides a ton of grip.
I've had a Speck Candyshell on my iPod touch and over 4 years later, it's still kept my iPod in perfect condition. The case itself is scratched up and turned a bit off-white, but I haven't exactly been gentle with it (having taken it traveling and camping) so I'm confident in its protective capabilities.
I'll likely be rocking the Speck case as my daily driver for the time being, and I'll only swap back to the Diztronic when I want a more toned-down look and slimmer profile (maybe if I'm at a fancy event wearing slacks).
Finally, I also pre-ordered a white Crash Guard + Project S from Evolutive Labs when they offered 25% off the first 50 pre-orders. IMO this would be the solution to preserving the Nexus's original design and aesthetics, while still providing a lot of protection (if the demo videos are any indication). I have no idea what Project S is, though (hopefully some kind of transparent skin, though they said it wasn't going to be made of the same material as the Rhino Shield).
I have a tempered glass screen protector from intelliARMOR protecting the front (second generation/first revision, the model prior to production of the two distinct "case-friendly" and "edge to edge" versions). It's been fine with both the Diztronic and Speck cases, though I'm curious as to whether the edge-to-edge versions might also be compatible with the Speck and Crash Guard, as there's just 1 mm between the edges of the cases and screen protector, where I find dust and grease can get trapped in between.
If you're looking for clear cases, there're Spigen's Ultra Hybrid and Neo Hybrid EX cases. The Ultra Hybrid is a single-layer case with a clear polycarbonate back framed by TPU along the edges. I wouldn't recommend it personally because I've heard that clear TPU will stain over time (as likely what happened to your original case), and the visor is completely exposed and thus prone to scratches.
The Neo Hybrid EX consists of 2 pieces: a clear TPU shell and a coloured polycarbonate bumper (essentially, the reverse of the Ultra Hybrid). It looks to be the best clear case I've seen in terms of protection (as the visor is actually covered), but I don't know how the clear TPU will fare over time, whether it will also be prone to staining. I'd wait on reviews for this case before ordering, and for it to be listed on Spigen's Amazon store, which will likely be cheaper than buying it off their main website or eBay store.

To be honest it's the first device that I don't have a case for it although I have a tampered glass and a pouch. But I'm waiting for some skins from dbrand and a wooden skin from toastmade.
Tapatalked with my Nexus 6P

I got the carbon cloth backed Nexus 6P case originally and I really like the look and feel of it, but it's not the most protective. The only issue I've had with it is taking screenshots (the case presses buttons you don't mean to) and it wouldn't work with a tempered glass screen protector (it peels it up).
On the black Friday I got the Speck CandyShell in black/slate and I'm digging it. It's more protective and it makes the button presses a little harder, which I like. I would think it'd work with a glass screen protector as the bezels don't intrude onto the glass very much.

I use a Supcase Unicorn Beetle Hybrid as my standard case. I usually slide it in my pants or jacket pocket. I do wish there was a belt clip for the Beetle Hybrid, but to get a belt clip case combo you typically are into something much thicker and substantial that is, for me, unnecessary. When I'm wearing a suit, I use it bare and carry it in a Story Leather belt clip holster made for the iPhone 6s Plus. The phone has a Skinomi Tech Glass protector on it.

My experience mirrors LuckyDragan a little bit.
My first case was the microfiber case from the Google store. While it looked nice and the in hand feel was decent, I felt it cost way too much for what it was. I ended up returning it because when I pressed the edge of the case by the buttons it would change the volume. Not cool for a $35 case.
Next case is the reg. Adopted case. It's not bad. I really like the textured sides. It's also fairly narrow. Thing is, I paid $10 for it, at the reg. price of $20, I'm not sure if it's worth it. By the pics I've seen, I think it looks better than the Diztronic, especially the fingerprint cut out.
3rd case is the Spigen Rugged Armor. Except for the camera cut out (I don't like how it doesn't leave room for the blueish oval), I think it looks the best of all the cases I've tried so far. My nags are that It's all little wide and slippery. At $13.00?, it's a good buy.
4th case is the Speck Grip. My favorite so far. It's not as thin as the other cases but not bulky. The grip is awesome, no problem using the phone with one hand. At first glance, I didn't think it was the best looking case, but it's starting to grow on me. The protection and how it makes the phone so much easier to handle makes it a winner. @ $20 I paid during the Google store's sale, I think it's worth it. @ the reg. price of $40, idk.
If haven't yet, check out Pilz review thread, so much good info.

White Speck case as my daily driver.
I have tried the Diztronic one, while it does provide protection, did not like how loose the edges felt, definitely not as snug and stiff as my Diztronic Ultra that is on my GS6. It easily bent out edges for my taste, and thought of getting some debris that could scratch up the phone was bugging me somewhat. If you need a very minimalist, fingerprint resistant, and decent lip for screen protection, that is the case to have.
Also have the Supcase Unicorn Hybrid Ultra. great case, snug and firmer edges than the Diztronic one, but damn, is that case slippery. I have a habit of placing the phone on my car seat, and that thing just slides around like a hockey puck on ice when placed on its back. Placing it face down did help... still preferred it over the Diztronic.
But snagged the White Speck Candy Shell Grip case at 50% off, love it. Excellent grip, very tight and solid felling edges, does not slide when placed on a my car seat. Wished they offered a matt finish white version of this, since I am not a fan of shiny cases, but the black rubber lines offset it enough to be likable for me. Sporting the Orzly TGSP,with that case there is a minimal space between the glass and the edges of the case, nearly perfect sealed fit. Hoping the intelliglass ones are a bit more of an coverage so that it could have a near gapless glass to case seal, still waiting on receiving mine...

Currently have the Tudia case which is brill, but also got the Spigen rugged case coming.

Official microfiber case in carbon. No screenshot issues or button issues in general. I love the soft fabric feel. Feels more "welcoming" than the cold, hard plastic/TPU of other cases I've used. Regarding durability, I'm a little concerned, but only time will tell how the microfiber will hold up.

Smoked Ringke fusion is my case of choice, at least for now. I also have the Orzly flexicase and Spigen rugged armor. Don't really care for either of those.
Anyone want to trade a case for the spigen rugged armor? mint condition and hasn't been used other than trying it on once.

I'm also using this case and think it's a good balance of fitting, protection, minimal bulk, etc all for a low price. I bought it off Amazon for $11 but unfortunately it's been outta stock for the past month or so. I wished they had a clear case instead of smoke coloring though.

I use spigen rugged armor, it's a good case that offers high protection to your phone..
i intend to order the verus high pro shield case though, just want to wait for some time until they fully supply the updated case.. the first batches had a defect about the charging port..

The Spigen rugged arrived today and it is SOOOO much nicer than the Tudia one. Better fit and feels nicer and more secure.

I've had a few cases so far.
SR Tech - Typical TPU case. Decent protection. Cutouts were slightly off. Total fingerprint/oil magnet. Got real slippery after a week or so of use and required a wipe down. Did not interfere with my Pleson TGSP.
Spigen Rugged Armor - Soft touch finish felt really good in hand. Very good protection at the sacrifice of some added bulk. Cutouts were precise and buttons had a nice tactile feel. Soft touch got some smudges on it occasionally but not nearly as bad as the SR case. Did not interfere with my Pleson TGSP but it was really close.
Spigen Thin Fit - Very interesting finish on this case. Kinda felt like the back of the Nexus 6. Fingerprints weren't really a problem but oil/smudging was. Case snapped on snugly and provided good protection for the covered areas. Top and bottom of the phone were exposed. Did not interfere with my Pleson TGSP.
Nillkin Nature - This is my daily driver. Pretty much the same as the SR Tech, only about half the thickness. Cutouts are more precise and there is a cover for the Type C port, which I really like. This is literally the thinnest case I've ever used and it really helps make the already large 6P more manageable in the hand. I wish it came in a matte finish so oil/fingerprints weren't so much of an issue, but other than that I'm happy.

Adopted for now until bumpers start arriving and be reviewed.

Ringke smoke and Google Microfiber. Like both and switch weekely

I switch from the official google carbon case and spigen ultra hybrid. They are great cases but the buttons on both aren't the best. I also have speck case but I use it for when I go to the gym. Diztronic case is nice but phone feels loose inside and verus case.. Its whatever.

You want good corner hit protection or it will get damaged. The clear ones don't cut it. These are heavy phones that wuv to corner hit
Been using the Zizo Bolt case on my N10+ for 2 years, zero damage. Has been dropped on concrete from 2-4 feet more times then I liked to admit. Thin, easy to hold and clean, doesn't attract dirt, and doesn't fall apart when dropped.
The screen protector on this one might be a throw away; I use Gorilla IQ Sheild which works very well. The inner case kick stand is fragile but doesn't effect the protection.

Pitaka. I like em thin

Currently have Spigen Slim armor however Spigen Tough armor arrives tomorrow. The Tough armor is what I've used on my last 3 note devices and haven't had issues with it's protection yet.

Am rotating between Spigen Thin fit and Mous case.

Going between Spigen Liquid Crystal and Liquid Air Armor. Both have the individual camera cuts. I prefer the look of the Armor, but Liquid Crystal feels like I can drop it from 4 inches as opposed to 2 inches.

I ordered the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle pro. I wanted one with a stand AND camera closure slide window so that when I'm not using my camera my fingers won't touch the lenses and smudge them, but I couldn't find one without the metal ring type stand which blocks it from being able to wireless charge. I know this because I did already pre-buy a case that had both the stand and camera window slide closure thing, but it will not pick up a wireless charge. I feel like the Beetle Pro will accept wireless charging because the stand doesn't look like it protrudes very far.

Good call on th cryo armor! I just looked and it's available on Amazon now, for half of what their website says lol. Just ordered.

Found this S22 Ultra cases review. Might help to decide.

OtterBox Defender Pro with Belt clip. You can drop it on concrete or asphalt and it won't even scratch the case much less the phone. I been using the Defenders since the s7 Edge and never traded a phone in to Samsung that didn't look brand new and sratchless. The only downside is it will make your phone heavier but I can live with that. I've dropped mine on a concrete tile floor at work 3 times over the years and never even for scratched. If you keep your phone in your pocket in an office environment you can get away with slinmer cases. But if you work in a brutal environment it pays to have that extra protection.

I purchased the Samsung Black Leather Cover Case.
Precise , minimal, good quality and snug.
I would like the UAG MONARCH KEVLAR SERIES but it does not yet appear to be available in the UK and I'm hesitant to import it via the States.

Spigen Liquid Air Case , I like the look and cuts for every camera lens

I really liked Pitaka from the review.
Also considering dbrand case or Spigen Thin

Got CaseBorne S series and R series, BUT my phone is being delayed for shipping Will test but on naked view, the cases look AWESOME and with proper corner protection.
