Hey Guys,
I've just got hold of a Poetic Affinity HTC A9 case. Its a clear hard backed TPU case.
I'm not a fan of cases normally, my last case, an IMAK Cowboy case didn't last long (2 months) so I've been naked for the past couple of months.
I have since dropped the phone and now have two small scuffs on the bottom of the phone near the speaker holes.
Anyway, this case seems well made and is clear so it does show off the phone quite well.
Here are some photos:

The fit is very good, the bottom of the case and the side where the power button and volume rockers are have a softer gel type material, whereas the rest is rigid. This makes fitting and removing the phone very easy and also makes pushing the buttons easy. The rear is fully protected.
Some pics with case fitted:
The camera and flash have plenty of room and all the orifices are easily accessible and clear.
I will definitely make this my daily work case, as it has full protection and doesn't add much weight or bulk.
I wont do any drop tests but will keep everyone posted on how it fairs.

Would that be CaseMate? Tough?
There are quite a few threads open about cases already...
I bought a 2$ silicone case from dealextreme, still waiting for it to come in, but good reviews on it.

Can you show us some pics?
I am sure it's been mentioned before and there are probably even some reviews, but I can highly, highly recommend the Case-Mate Tough for the Desire HD. It's an amazing case, by far the best one I've used.
I've had it for a couple of months already. It fits great, looks great and feels great in my hands. So far after 2 months of use it looks like brand new - no wear around the edges. One thing I was a little bit concerned about in the beginning is that the bottom part, which is rubber only (look-up some pictures) would stretch and sag, but that hasn't happened at all.
Just go out and get one, you won't be disappointed ;-)
I got a Case-mate Barely There case.
It's good enough for me as i haven't dropped my phone so far. usually happens in the first few days.
Screen film is also great, can barely see it and the phone is perfectly usable.
I Got A E-Cell Carbon Fiber Case,
Got It Off Ebay For £4.99
Seems To Be Of Decent Build Quality
Tough case user here too, awesome case. Lovin it.
no cases ftw
I am using one from Capdase (http://www.capdase.com/en/product5.php?cid=1&bid=5&mid=1153&pid=8890)
Has been serving me well and saved a drop too! DHD becomes more rugged with this.
Otterbox is the best bet for protection. I'm currently using the defender series. It feels really safe and secure. Although quite expensive, well worth the investment.

I've just got the otterbox commuter and it seems great, phone feels really good to hold in the hand and looks like it will protect phone if I drop it
Hello
I received yesterdany my case UAG Protective Aero GLXS5 - Bleue (http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/aero-glxs5).
Feedback :
+ Comes with a tissue to wipe AND a protective cover glass
+ Science Fiction and "avionic" aspect, really great
+ Really great grip, it feels "comfortable"
+ Silky feel
+ Very very light, it feels almost no difference without the case
+ Even with the case it goes well into the pocket
+ Big advantage, the objective affects more directly the table
+ Mobile laid flat is stable (without the shell, it is a little wobbly because of the small reinforcement near the speaker)
+ Elements (reinforcement) on the side provide a non-slip grip too
+ Using it with a single hand is still possible without interference
+ Pressing buttons responds quickly and without having to press hard too
+ Connectors are not blocked, even with a "big" jack
- Covers of buttons (power, volume) give an impression of fragility. To see in use
In conclusion to this case UAG :
+ light
+ Excellent design
+ Good grip
I definitively prefer this to Spigen Though armor (see my post of comparison).
And some pictures :

Great review! I just ordered one of these cases as well. How noticeable is the silver bezel on the S5 with this case on? it's the one part of the device I really dislike.

good choice! btw, what's this "silver bezel" ? (sorry, my english isn't rich enough... )

Haha... It's the plastic silver rim around the phone. For some reason very few of the S5 case cover this. I find the silver pretty distracting personally.
Ah. Understood.
Look at the pictures. You only see it where to put the jack for ears stuff. And a little at bottom in USB port. Elsewhere it's not visible

I just ordered the clear one. Have had the same case on my GS3 forever and it has survived countless drops. Love the look and protection.
Hey all, I received a Blue ZeroLemmon Razor Armor Case yesterday.

Everything was delivered in perfect condition, and was well packaged.
I wanted to compare it to one of my other cases for the phone, a White Ringke flex Slim Fusion Slim Armor.
The Ringkle, came with two plastic body shells and a screen protector. The two shells are nice but I have only used the textured one.
Ok. On to the comparison. First off, I can you tell the ZeroLemmon case rubber part is thicker, and provides more protection on all corners and edges of the phone.
This extra padding is great, and im getting use to the sharper corners and shape of the case to help hold the phone.
My Favorite feature so far is in the enginerring that went into the case. ALL THE PORTS AND HOLES LINE UP PERFECTLY! And the charging port is easy to access and open and easier than the Ringke.
Please respond to this post if you have any questions. Ill post some updates after I get a few days use out of it.
Thanks!
Update. Haven't had one single pocket dial since putting on the case. I'm not sure what color blue it is, but it matches my running gear.
..
Yeah, I am very happy with it. And do like the way it feels in my hand. I am going to try out my old case, the Ringke flex Slim Fusion Armor tomorrow, and see which one I like better.
I really do like the blue color, and have dropped my phone twice and it has been well protected.

Thanks for the comparison. We looking to see if this is the right amount of button pressure users will like. We look to apply this button pressure to other cases
The button pressure works just fine, and I like that they are bigger than the Ringke i compared it too.
The case also sits nicely around the edge of the bezel and leaves a nice border to allow easy screen shots with the gesture and for turning on the one handed mode
ZeroLemmon Case wins! I donated my old Ringke slim Armor to another s5 user, as the ZeroLemmon case is my choice.
The phone just feels better in my hand, and a better charging port access, plus i really like the color.
Cool! We are glad the pressure works out on the button. we have been tuning the case buttons for all our products to provide uniform pressures
I recently acquired a Poetic Affinity case to review and to going to give my honest opinions compared to Spigen Rugged Armor case.
This case is a hybrid of TPU and polycarbonate, which gives the case stability as well increased grip/flexibility. The extra TPU along the corners and edges of the case help give the phone shock absorption as well as keeps the phone stable while texting on a table.

Before receiving this case I had the impression that the case would be obtrusive and giving added bulk to a slim phone. The case is actually very low profile, and very easy to handle or pull out of your pocket. One issue I have had in the past with cases are their fitment with a tempered glass screen protector, but paired with Intelliglass hd it fits perfectly!
One big improvement this case has compared to the Spigen case are the tactile feel of the volume and power buttons. They are very responsive and can easily differentiate between the volume buttons and power button. All of the cutouts fit precisely (including camera and laser autofocus) and there is no interference with headphone jack or USB type C cable. The fingerprint scanner is easily accessible as well, which was a concern of mine by adding a case.
The only complaint that I have with this case is the location of the branding. The P is right in the middle on the back of the case which is right over the Nexus logo. This is not a big concern for me, but its a minor one.
Overall this case has added a tremendous amount of grip without adding to the overall bulk of the phone. I have not had any drops while using this case so I cannot comment on the protection, but it seems it would protect against minor to moderate falls. I can honestly recommend this case to anyone looking to increase the grip without adding much bulk to the phone.
I got this case also. I kind of like it more than my spigen a little

I feel the same way. Ever since I received this case I haven't felt the urge to switch back to the Spigen.

+1 to this.
I also bought the Spigen first but wanted a more transparent case that wasn't black since I did order the Crystal White for a reason.
It's very nice. I've had quite a few co-workers buy it once they saw mine. All in all worth the money.
I picked up the red version of this case on Amazon to check out, I paid for it myself so of course my reviews when to be honest. Lol
I have to say this is one of the best cases I've gotten so far for the Nexus 6P, it's not perfect, but it's damn good.
The case is almost the exact same size as the unicorn beetle case and almost fits in the holster from it. The sides are a tiny bit wider but if you have big hands like I do it's perfectly easy to hold.
The back is actually nicely finished although it is quite the fingerprint magnet on the red portion I've got.
The kickstand can be a little finicky but actually works well in either landscape orientation. There is no magnet in this kickstand so you won't have any problems there.
Some people in the reviews on Amazon were complaining about some sharp plastic or sprue on this case but mine is fantastic.
As you can see in the pictures of the built in screen protector (that sucks) pops out super easy, only one I've ever been able to get out without tearing.
The port covers work perfectly and best of all the buttons are absolutely fantastic and labeled. No mushy feeling, nice and clicky. The fingerprint reader recess also works great.
I have the phone with a tempered glass screen protector and also perfectly fine. No rattling, no moving, just great.
It goes together the same way as the unicorn beetle does, you put it into a frame and then the frame into the case. On this one the frame doesn't grab onto the phone so it can be a little difficult to get it into the outer case but I've managed to do it rather easily.
USB cables fit just fine in there and I would use this as my new daily case if it fit in any of my holsters which it does not. I'm now going to start looking for a leather or nylon holster to slip it into.
If you have small hands this case won't be fantastic because you'll only be gripping the slippery part. A little bit of texture would make it perfect and if you had a media blaster or take some time with some sandpaper you could turn this into that easily. The backplate pops off easily for all of you that want to put a metal plate behind it for your mounts.
I usually love the unicorn beetle cases and that's what I am rocking on my Nexus right now but the buttons are just way too mushy on there. I would give the unicorn beetle 7 out of 10 red zman points and I would give this case being reviewed 9 out of 10.

I'm sorry I thought that the posts would all collapse if I did it quickly can someone on the staff move them or I can do it tomorrow.
