Review: Ringke Fusion replica and Capdase soft tpu (Photos included)

So, I've purchased two new cases from Taobao.com and one of them is the Ringke Fusion look-a-like.

(please forgive my poor photography skill)
Unfortunately I do not have the original Ringke Fusion case as comparison. In the packaging, it also contains a free back protector for the plastic back. Like any other clear plastic, it's a finger print magnet.
Capdase slim tpu case:
-
Overall, I think that the Fusion replica feels extremely well built. It does not add much bulk at all (can be compared to S-Line TPU's width). The back is easily scratched so I've put the protector on but it made the back very smooth. The Capdase slim tpu is surprisingly slim and soft. The overall feel is pretty good too.
I think that I like the both of them a lot more compared to the other cases I own (Replica bumper, S-Line TPU and Nillkin Slim Case). Nillkin is pretty good but it does not cover the top and bottom properly which actually caused a few tiny scratches on the chrome rim and the rubberish part on top.

Nice review! I really like the look of the 2nd case. Could you take some pictures of it on the Nexus 4?

Hey, I've updated the original post with the pictures you wanted!
@jiayit: You will be surprised with the quality and build of this cheap replica! But still, the back seems to get scratched easily.

Nice review on the Ringke replica, but tbh that Capdase Soft Jacket really looks good.
It seems thinner than the usual TPU cases at 0.8mm. Can you confirm that?

How do you measure the 0.8mm? Is it on the sides?
With the capdase tpu, its total width is 7cm. It's slimmer than the s-line tpu (7.3cm).

Sorry, I haven't been clearer. I meant the material thickness at the cut-outs.
Usually it's something around 0.8mm and the thinnest TPU cases for the Galaxy S3 or
iPhone are around 0.3mm. From the looks it does seem to be slimmer than Diztronic or Cruzerlite TPU cases.

Ah I see. It's around 1mm calculated by subtracting the total width of case + phone and the phone (70mm - 68.3mm/2). I do not have any other measuring tool other than a common metric ruler.

are these holes at the hardkeys places? (power, vol up, down)

No, the fusion replica doesn't have any cut outs for the volume buttons. But it's pretty easy to press them.

Thinnest case you've seen?

I'm looking for a new case. Recently had the Spigen Neo Hybrid. Amazing case until the back TPU started to get dirty really easily.
Anyways, just wanted to ask what the thinnest cases any of you have seen around is?
After I cracked my screen I started using the phone with no case and omiglawb it feels so much better, But to rock a phone without a case is dangerous so I figured I'd get a case, but this time something really, really thin so it doesn't add much bulk to the body.
Any input is appreciated, fellas.

UAG cases are thin and protective, just don't get slate. Slate scratches slightly.

That is a pretty intense looking case, man. Not liking the design too much though.

This thin case for S4
I just got this really thin TPU case from Monoprice for $2.94 + shipping.

I needed the thinnest case I could find to slip easily in and out of my car dock. All the others I've tried I had to grind down just to fit them in at all.
This one went in no problem and is available in other colors.
Hope that helps.

I own a Pinlo Slice 3 and I'm very happy with it. I only use it in more formal occasions, my daily case is a Spigen Neo Hybrid, like you ( mine doesn't get dirty :s), but it has some good protection and doesn't get scratched easily.
Check it out. Hope I helped

I like the Diztronic tpu cases. Have them on my last 2 phones.

Did your screen crack because of a case? Seems odd you would stop using a case after the screen cracked.

Nooooo lol I had a Spigen Neo Hybrid. I think I broke it in my sleep or something. Phone was on the nightstand before I went to sleep. Woke up in the morning and phone was still on nightstand except top left of the front bezel was exposed from the case and there was a crack(s) on the screen. After that I didn't give a **** so I used it with no case lol.

This is probably the slimmest case available for the S4 (the clear Ultra Thin Air model). It's too slim for my preference.

I would love to pick up this case. Only issue is that I don't like how the top and bottom rims of the phone are exposed. :-/

i also prefer cases that cover all the edges of the phone. if you're looking slim hard case that covers all edges, then recommend the Speck Candyshell. I cycle between that, an UAG, and the Diztronic TPU case.

I use this case:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BSZU8H6/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It fits with a tempered glass screen protector.
A little work to get it off the first few times bit it is thin and covers all edges of the phone and has a lip to protect the screen in a face down drop.

mine is not the thinnest i think but i like my spigen neo hybrid

What M9 cases is everyone using?

Just as the title asks...
This is a thread to share M9 cases&screen protectors based on your own real experience, it would be some help to others' to find a favorite case for their new buddy.
Now I'm using Arozell M9 case on Amazon[ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B012ODTG82 ] over 6 months and it really did the job.The look of the case is amazing. It is made of a plastic that does not feel cheap. There are two interlocking pieces, which makes it simple to remove/put on the case without much hassle. On top of that, there is a stand that folds into the back of the case, when you close it has a very pleasant "clink" when you snap it open and closed. Even though it has this fold-out stand, it does not take up any unnecessary space like a lot of cases that you can find.
Most importantly for me, the case encloses the entire phone. Many cases you will find do not have plastic that wraps around all of the edges of the phone resulting in the entire bottom portion of the phone exposed. This one does protect all of the sides and bottom, with nicely contoured openings for the speaker, headphone jack, and lightning port.

I have 4 cases. The Ringke Slim Gold case which I posted on here already, the Orzly FlexiSlim in smoke black which i really like - its ultra thin!
http://orzly.com/orzly-flexislim-case-for-htc-m9-smoke-black.html
and currently I am using this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MYRIANN-Ult...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item46386f94b3
It's like the Poetic Atmosphere but its a clear case - I wish it was smoke translucent.

I've been using a black Ringke Slim. Super slim, love it.

Currenly using the Spigen Slim Armor... generally speaking, I find the Spigen cases to be about as "no-frills-y" as they get, but this one does come with an added feature... gonna post a separate blog about it, but I can definitely confirm that it successfully resisted a 2'-4' drop on corners and face down.

I really like the Tech21 Evo Tactical

Im using this one with the InvisibleShield HDX screen protector, both recommended by the T-Mobile rep who checked me out when I got the phone. He uses the same setup on his M9, says his phone goes through hell, but it looked pristine to me. I've already dropped mine 10+ times in the 2 days I've had it, not a scratch. The "self-healing" tempered glass InvisibleShield is great for the screen, too.

I m using dot view ice premium and generic black slim case and I am happy with them up to now. No spigen purchased 'cause i think they do some bulky cases nowadays.

Spigen Neo Hybrid does a nice job and the camera is just right. I've been using it for over a month

Has anyone picked up the new HTC clear shield case yet? I am trying to compare it to the Spigen Ultra Hybrid as both look pretty similar.

I'm with otterbox right now, and whenever they are available, i'll pick up some junky ones on aliexress. They take a while to get here, but it's nice to have a variety without spending lots.

Ringke Slim

Switched to otterbox, had HTC dotview, but the binding started to rip so I returned it. HTC dotview is a cool concept , but is not practical if you use your phone a lot (IMO)

Went from Spigen Neo Hybrid to UAG and never looking back

Im using a Seidio dilex case with kickstand

Another vote for the Spigen Neo-Hybrid. Nice color choices for the bumper and not bulky.

My UAG arrived today and it looks and feels great. Very pleased.

Slim S6 case with the best side grip?

I am currently using a Spigen Neo Hybrid for my S6 and it is a little bit too slippery for me. I was wondering if you guys had an recommendations on a slim case with good grip. I've tried the Body Glove Satin on a Moto G and it felt pretty good. Also thinking about the Tudia Ultra Slim Lite and Diztronic Full Matte. I don't like the look of the Candyshell Grip. It also must have good camera protection. That is another reason I am kind of leery about my Neo Hybrid. Any ideas?

The problem with these Cristal clear cases is that the tpu part will get yellow after 2-3 months and will look really ugly.

How is the button feel on that Spigen case? I've had clear cases before and they always get dust underneath them around the camera area making them look not so great.

Most cases I've owned always tend to be dust magnets, this isn't much different...though it is early days it seems better than most.

I got a slim Armor case recently.

Your case looks great, maybe you can try an armor case, but it may not be slim.

Just wanted to update this thread. I went with the Tudia Ultra Slim LITE. The case has good grip, like I was wanting and importantly, good camera protection.

I use the ringke fusion. Very slim and very non slip

Did you put the skin on the case?

Yes I did.

So how did it work out installing it on the case instead of the phone? Did you do any modification or was it simple enough? The reason why I'm asking is I'm planing to do that .. looks awesome

I didn't do any modifications. I just followed the instructions provided by dbrand on Youtube. A hairdryer is your best friend. Do it while the case is on the phone so you can make sure your fingerprint sensor and mic is completely centered.
I had a OnePlus One with a diztronic TPU case and a dbrand skin. Once I got this phone I knew I had to do the same thing. I haven't tried this with any other case.

I did the same!

A sticker that looks like wood stuck to the plastic case that covers up the awesome metal 6p.............just not seeing it.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I wanted a case to protect the metal so the metal wouldn't be visible anyways. I wanted a thin TPU case that also covers the top and bottom of the phone and the Spigen Thin Fit doesn't provide that or I would have went for that case. To each their own!
Makes me wonder why you're in a thread about cases if you're all about the naked metal body.

Looking through your previous posts, you're a condescending person who can't seem to understand that people are entitled to their own preferences. There's nothing wrong with putting a plastic sticker, on a plastic case, to protect a metal phone. Doesn't matter the price.

I believe they're traditionally referred to as "trolls".
I agree that people are entitled to do whatever they want with their phones.

Hey, that looks really good. Just to confirm, is the case the Diztronic Full Matte Slim Fit Flexible TPU case?

I've had a diztronic case that i later returned. The case is loose and phone would shake inside. That loose.
