Post your reviews of cases or skins. I will update the op with links as new items become available. I currently have a tudia gel case and have ordered a few more. One skin that looks promising I will be ordering this week. I think the glow in the dark skin will look nice with a clear case or a frosted clear hard case. The tudia case is nice , does not stick in my pocket and provides protection around the edge of the screen.

The new body glove case is now my favorite. It is more like a composite you case that feels harder than the tudia. It slides in and out of my pocket much easier and with a lot less lint.

I got the Ringke Fusion as my girlfriend has one for her Z3C and it's really nice, also the G-Flex2 one has dustcaps for the 3.5mm and USB port. Which I really need as my old G2 died from dust ingress.
I also got a Circle Case though from here
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360885691754
It's by ARASO Design from Korea, it's really nice, very sturdy and nice finish.
I have the quick circle case from LG, it's expensive but I got it bundled with my phone. It's a back cover replacement but add little more plastic on the corner for protection and the quick circle work beautifully.
Now I wonder if I will find a back cover replacement but with a matte finish. But if LG don't do it, no one will.
Someone recommended this Rugged Hybrid Armor case to me. It works great.
My Husband using this Amazon Armor Belt Clip Case . It's perfect andworks great so far.

That's the case i use. Its solid af for a plastic/rubber case.
This is my glass screen protector.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WUDMQWK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Only complaint with this glass is that randomly sometimes (like 7.5% of my usage time) i find it to lack lubrication.
Otterbox is on clearance for $12 at Bbuy right now.
Not sure I like the bulk, but plenty swear by theirs.
Just avoid any case that has a painted surface, I had a bad experience with sun screen and my www.mercurymart.com Goospery red painted jelly case just dissolved when getting in contact with the sun screen. The case underneath is a white TPU one and it looked so horrible I had to immediately change it.
Im using Ringke Slim Case + Nillkin Amazing H+ Tempered Glass, both fit each other perfectly i'll probably never change it.
It keeps the original curved style of Flex 2 and doesnt add any bulk since it's super slim, also the tempered glass is thin enough to not protrude over the case which means u can put the phone screen down safely.
Obviously it's also super conveniant in case you drop the phone since the case will absorb the hit instead of tempered glass, which is generally much safer.
RingKe Fusion is awesome. Not bulky, has great drop protection and had dust caps for the micro USB and headphone jack https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00S...lex+2+case&dpPl=1&dpID=51RPdP+pSQL&ref=plSrch
need some info
are all carrier flex 2 same in shape and design.
i have a sprint flex 2 and has just bought a circle flip cover for 3k (which is too much for me)
and the case says its for flex 2 haven't found a sprint or other carrier specific flex 2 case.
so does that mean all flex 2's are the same?
yes @Alecia1212

I agree, The X-doria bumper is really bulky.
Copied from the accessories thread
I ordered 2 bumpers for my Xperia Z and both arrived last week. I'll do a short review of both in case anyone is in the market for a decent bumper.
Black aluminium bumper http://amzn.to/13xdOSn
There are quite a few of these being sold under different brands and I suspect they all come from the same manufacturer since the photos all look identical. It comes in 2 parts, you set your XZ into the front and slide the back on. The inside is lined with soft rubber for protection. It looks sleek and stylish and doesn't add much bulk, however I don't think it would offer great drop protection. The edges feel a little sharp when held against my ear but overall the bumper feels great in the hand. The ports (especially audio) are a bit difficult to access but not impossible. The volume buttons seemed a little difficult to press at first but I soon got used to it.
Roxfit bumper http://amzn.to/11weE0g
This is supposedly officially endorsed by Sony. It comes in nice packaging with a screen and back protector (which I haven't tried). The bumper has glossy black edges with a clear centre and has a couple of logos. It feels rubbery and provides great grip. It adds quite a lot of bulk which should offer great drop protection, this also makes the edge of the screen a bit difficult to access when using one handed. Ports are relatively easy to access.
Personally I prefer the aluminium bumper as it looks better, doesn't add much bulk and the phone is easier to use than with the Roxfit.
I got Metal Slim, Aluminium Bumper, Roxfit Bumper & Poetic Bumper.... here's some comments.
Metal Slim - actually it's not really slim, I used 1 days then drop it.
Aluminium bumper - it damaged by Xperia Z after dropped from table
Roxfit bumper - a little bit soft and slim
Poetic bumper - just like Roxfit but more colorful

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
I was wondering which case is better than the other?
I'm looking to keep the nexus 4 slim, sexy, and functional.
I narrowed it down to these two cases because of the clicky tactile feels (on the fusion revision) and the original bumper while maintaining slimness.
I got the bumper a week after I received my phone. Well, not the official one, but a replica of the LG one that's sold in the Play Store. The one I received off Amazon seemed fine, but after about a week of normal use, 2 cracks appeared - one on the bottom where the USB is, and the other on the power button.
I think that they appeared because of plugging in the phone and clicking the power button turning it on and off. The material (metal-looking plastic) that surrounds the bumper is flimsy on it's own, and with a certain amount of pressure and heat from the phone, it's prone to cracking.
If you Google around you'll find that a lot of people have had the same problem with the official one. I bought the same bumper for my friend too, but his is holding up well so far, so I'm not sure. The bumper seemed to have a tighter fit on his N4 whereas mine felt a little loose. He has been using it for a couple months as his was the first wave of N4 that were shipped out. I just got mine a little less than a month ago.
Switched over to the Ringke Fusion based on the number of excellent reviews it got both on XDA and Amazon. Took about a week to get here and because it is the revision, the buttons are clicky and give a good feedback. The case also doesn't add much bulk at all. While I do like the heft of carrying around the phone naked, the glass panels scare me. I never used cases on my old phones, but then again, they were plastic and metal. They sure could take a hit!
The Fusion makes the N4 feel more solid as it is, and it works well with wireless chargers. The only complaint I have about it is the back clear plastic tends to dirty quite easily, with scuffs, fingerprints. But then again, who takes time out of their day to gander at the back of the phone. Sure it's pretty but you'll be spending more of your time messing around with the front.

I remember when i bought my N4, I kept buying different bumpers because either they were too tight [messed up my screen protector], too bulky or did not protect my phone good enough. In January, I bought Ringke Fusion; been using it since then . Its not one of those cheap bumpers, you will definitely feel the quality. Its fits the phone very well and you wont feel the size of it in your hand or in your pocket.

It's a replica. The real ones are sold on the play store. If it says official elsewhere and is less than the price you would normally pay, chances are it's not official. Anyone can say it's official but it isn't.

LOL I would personally get the Fusion, and yes, most bumpers online are replicas even if they are in LG packaging. The normal bumpers cost about 20bux (USD) so that's a good gauge in authentic or not.
There's a thread somewhere comparing the packaging but basically, if there's a holo sticker on the back, mine is square that reads "Original accessories by LG".

Bumper
Wider
Looks better
Less protection
Ringke

Lets you create custom designs to insert behind the plastic
horrible protruding creases on the back of the case. - rough to the touch
picks up fingerprints and dust way too easily.
I use bumper for everyday use and if i'm going to be somewhere outside for a long while where i won't have a place to put my phone safely away i use the ringke.

Thisphone is hard to hold naked so I run a case, ringke is my current daily. I'd love to run a skin but they simply aren't attractive with seems, plus I like being able to toss my phone around.
Have you seen the cruzerlite bugdroid cases? I have a red and a black one. However, due to the nature of the material in the semi opaque red one, it is more flexible and does not fit as well as the black one. So the black one stays on permanently.

Yeah I've seen them. They look not bad.
Currently using a silicon case, but planning on using skin sometime soon. Really want to feel the Z5C touch without any hindrance. Love the frosted glass finish on the back.
I wish there was a Diztronic TPU case for it. I've been using their brand for my previous Moto X, Nexus 6 and 5x and they're the best I've had so far. Minimalistic, durable and protective. Anyways for now I'm using a Orzly Semi transparent TPU case bought from Amazon, it's fairly decent compared to what's available, i wouldn't consider a skin on this device.

I've been using the DevilCase aluminum bumper with a tempered glass protector. So far it's held up to all the drops and smacks I've given it. The bumper is visible worn and scratched but the phone itself still looks new.
I use a generic transparent silicone case that covers and provide a front raise.d protection the phone is slippery as hell without a case. I've dropped it several times getting inside and outside of the car during the first 2 months. It got some heavy scratches on the corners and also on the back from slipping it in and out of my front jean pockets. It loses some of it's appeal with the case but then again; I got a much better grip now and I can just drop it instead of 'gently' placing it on the table; and I do this like 100x a day.

Ah ok, I'm rocking an orzly case. Not bad either....
I always use TPU cases with my phones. I wish I didn't have to use a case, but your phone WILL eventually fall and hit the ground at some point, so you need protection. I prefer TPU because it's the perfect balance between polycarbonate and silicone. It is hard enough to feel robust and not stick to your pockets (pulling everything up along with your phone), and feels soft enough to absorb impacts. NEVER had a phone crack or dent with one of these. And they fall from hip height from time to time when I get out of the car. I dunno, some part of this is luck, but I trust these cases. They're simple, dirt cheap and efficient.
In addition to a glass scree protector on the front, I use a dbrand sticker on the back to increase grip and protect the glass from breaking or getting scratched.

Redneck Tetron. Dual layer protection and stand. I'm very satisfied.
I'm simply using a TPU cover bought for 5 euro and saved my phone already 3 times. It's perfectly fitting the size and doesn't add extra weight or size to the phone itself.
I'm using it combined with a tempered glass.

I agree, I'd use the phone naked but its too slippary. All I really want is a bumper but no one has any.
Therefore, I just got a black TPU case and cut out the back to make it into a bumper. The cut could have been cleaner but its been working for me.
Hey folks, I have a qi fast charging magnetic charger (linked below)
I tried sticking the ring to the outside of the case am using but after a few weeks of on/off the magnet it came off. I also had the ring under the case but it's too thick to stick reliably.
I'm trying to find an ultra thin case that won't look warped when I stick the ring under the case, or maybe even has a cut out inside the case for the plates you can get or the ring, and is thin enough to stick well on the charger
Suggestions would be awesome!!

Well... I'm using the Samsung clear case for my Note 9. It's very thin, but also a very tight fit so I'm not sure how it'll fit with that ring. Also you'd obviously see the ring.

I can answer this question: yes. I tried a Spigen case yesterday and it worked well.
I bought this, it is on sale so, and I love the wood back plate, bonus you can attack lenses, still hasnt arrived so...

When i bought Note9 i knew that i must buy some tough case for it, this is most expensive phone that i`ve got so far and protection before look. So i was wondering about lovemei or lovmei cases, you know, 6 screws, big metal case that you can use also as self-defence, car lift, surfing, scateboard (just attach wheels ) and for space shuttle heat cover. But you know, NFC payments, and wireless charger - this is very important for me. So i manage to find one case that costs lot for me, and i bought it with little bit of fear, but what i`ve got... I`ve bought SUPCASE CLAYCO XENON. It covers both sides of phone, it is little bit tricky to mount but effect is brilliant! Phone looks very good in it, it is not as bulky as i thought it would be, first impressions was not so good because of stylus experience at screen. When i try to work with stylus i felt resistance between tip of stylus and screen but after few hour of phone usage everything came to normal. I think that screen cover was just extremely clean and as soon as i pick up few calls surface was back to normal experience. So - if anyone want to have best possible protection and want their phone to still look good and not so bulky this is answer.
I am coming from a Pixel 2XL and I was using a Pitaka carbon fiber case for the past year. That was one of the best cases I have ever used. The carbon fiber seemed to have a grippy or rubber coating over the case and I never dropped that thing. The TPU cases that claim to have grip are still nothing like what the Pitaka case had. I have reached out to Pitaka and it sounds like they won't be making a case for the Pixel anymore. Bummer.
If you're looking for a slim, non-tpu case check out the Spigen Thin Fit. I had one on my LG G7 and got one for my Pixel 4. No problems with grip and definitely better than a TPU or glossy plastic case that gets slippery when you're wet, sweating, or have greasy fingers or something.

The grip on the thin fit is good, but beware that the edges stick up past the screen, and they're sharp. They make using gestures really annoying. I stopped using mine for that reason. They didn't think that one through for the Pixel 4.

Yeah, I haven't had that issue really, I don't use the gestures too often, but I can see where you're coming from. I'm hoping they release a Thin Fit 360 in the future, which would correct this issue entirely (at the expense of having a two-piece case design). I had it on my G7 and it was perfect. The only problems I see with that type of case now are they hug the outside of the screen just a tiny bit and tempered glass screen protectors can interfere with installation.
I'm using the black Speck Presidio Grip case. Very grippy, doesn't slide easily on slick surfaces, good drop protection, and not bulky at all.

Same here, it's a very nice case. I had the same on the S10 plus and Pixel 3XL and they were great as well. Can't really go wrong with it but it's a bit pricey compared to others.

They can be found cheaper on Amazon. Usually half the price from carrier stores

I just checked Amazon and they are the same price as local stores here. Give it a few months and yes Amazon will be cheaper but not today.
EFM Aspen Case
Check out the EFM Aspen Case. I've got it and it's super grippy. I've posted pics of it on another thread, but here's links for you:

Take a look at the imak TPU cases. They have a Metal Black (rubbery) and a rough texture one. I use the Metal Black one on my Pixel 1 and it has lasted almost 2 years. Good grip even for the non rough one, but has started to peel after 2 years. No biggie, it's $5.
It's on Aliexpress, I may try out the rough one this time as well when I get my 4.

My Dbrand Grip case came in last week. I put a orange carbon fiber skin on the back so I could remember that I have the orange Pixel 4 XL. So far, so good. I haven't got anywhere near dropping it. I had the fabric case from Google before. It was a fine case but it attracted stains.
using moment photo case and yes the sides are grippy like the pixel 4's sides.
If I remember I'll report back when my Dbrand case arrives, it is literally called 'grip' but who knows if it is nicer than the Spigen armor with kickstand, it is quite grippy.
ESR cases are very grippy and also has a kickstand
I'm actually loving my moment case for the 4XL, the walnut wood really sets it off, the inside has soft suede like material to keep it from scratching. I used to have the pitaka on my 2XL and forced it on the 3XL, it was way slimmer. But I've come to accept a little extra bulk for protection and the ability to add lenses is really special, it actually transforms the ability of the already fantastic camera.
Anyone know of a case similar to the ones from smartish? The kung fu grip cases have a rough outer edge and have a grip to them that i like very much. Only for iphones though. Anything similar maybe?
I had purchased a case from the Google store with my phone since I was so pumped about it. It was 40 bucks that I never should have spent. Their case is a piece of molded cardboard wrapped in felt. There wasn't even any protection on the bottom. Not only that, but the case was really slippery; always felt like it was going to slide out of my hands.
So, I purchased a Spigen Tough Armor case from Amazon and could not be more pleased. It fits better (still not as grippy as I'd like) and feels much more durable.
Dbrand has sale running .. Grip case $15 ..
