Get 15% off RhinoShield, Because Bumpers are Back
Phone skins are really great to add style to any phone, plus they’re not expensive, but they provide minimal protection if you happen to drop your phone. On the other end of the spectrum are cases, which are generally more expensive but offer much more protection. Cases are bulky and they don’t let the beauty of your phone show through because they often have to cover all four edges as well as the back of the phone.

That’s where CrashGuard by RhinoShield comes in. CrashGuard is essentially a bumper case, which means that it does not cover the back of your phone but only the sides (thus giving your device a more “naked” feel), but because of how it’s engineered, it provides more protection than most cases. CrashGuard is far superior to the bumpers of the past because it has been engineered to absorb impact. This is done by utilizing a proprietary polymer material that is far more shock-absorbent than plastic, and it also has a protective honeycomb structure within the bumper to disperse impact properly. In fact, within the honeycombs are compartments of pressurized air that act as airbags and deflect impact energy. If that sounds really elaborate, it is, and the net result is that you can drop your phone from a variety of heights (up to 11 feet) and if you have a CrashGuard bumper on the phone, you’re going to have a completely unmarked phone. If you want to see how incredible this protection is, watch this video from David Pogue where he does everything in his power to smash his phone by dropping it from a tall ladder.
Not only are CrashGuard bumpers durable, but they’re lightweight (with most of their bumpers coming in under 14 grams). They’re also pretty grippy thanks to the matte finish, and they come in a variety of colors. Another thing we really like about the CrashGuard line is the pricing: the Nexus 6P bumper is $19.99, and it ships free on Amazon. Check out the listings for the Nexus 6P.

Yea me too.
Got mine in the mail today and its much better than I expected!
Very durable with a great feel to it. Feels like it won't slip out of my hands and it doesn't attract dust/dirt.
Fits in my Bracketron UCH-101-BL Universal Cup-iT Cup Holder Mount with no slip-outs or closure problems...
Tossed my TPU case in a drawer and don't miss it at all. In fact I like this case better than my wife's case-mate Pop case.
Like its been said already, I wish it had a holster!
I have this case, its thin and rugged, it feels awesome inhand I recommend it,
only downside it no port protection...
I have had numerous tablets, including many from Samsung. I used to like everything OEM, but I experienced a drop once & the $40.00 Samsung OEM book case provided little protection & the device was damaged slightly. For $40 a case should offer some protection to my device. Since then I have always used leather cases purchased on Amazon.
For the Note 8, which I recieved a day or so before release, the case picking were slim. I found the one that had the most features from previous cases I enjoyed, which included selections from Moko, Poetic (which I really like) & tons of others.
In this instance, the case that met the most of my requirements was the Evecase. The Eve case is a textured leather (PU) case that has the auto-wake/sleep feature, multiple viewing angles in both portrait & landscape (which means it rotates) & I like to be able to remove the device easily, which this case accomplishes with a removable insert, which is held in place by a snap, which I have come to like more than the velcro removable types. I paid just under $5.00 for the case, which is now $5.99 USD on Amazon & I was surprise by just how nice the case is. While I am not a fan of the textured leather, i prefer smooth leather, this case is easily worth the $20 or more you would pay for the Poetic or Moko cases.
The case has cutouts in all of the obvious places, holes in the bottom on each side where the speakers are located & you can pretty easily access the SD Card slot & S-Pen, although there is a stylus loop for those that prefer having the S-Pen a few micro-seconds closer to use. It also has an elastic strap to hold the cover securely shut, which is great for S-Pen devices as magnet tend to interfere with the S-Pen's accuracy.
I have attached numerous pics, both from Amazon & a few I took to show details not seen in the Amazon pics.
Of all the Note 8 cases I have seen so far, I would recommend the Evecase over the rest. It is an exceptional value & protects the case well.
You can find the Evecase on Amazon by following this link: Evecase on Amazon

Did you buy the book case separately or did it come in the box of your Note 8?
I am particular about both my wallets and my cases, so combining the two means an extra degree of pickiness. I also tend toward folio cases, so if that's not your thing, you aren't going to like this one, as it is very much intended for someone who wants to carry everything in one case.
The Artech21 case is a large full-size folio case with all the bells and whistles. It is solidly constructed from thick, high-quality leather and other materials.

The interior is lined with what appears to be nylon fabric. There is a TPU case to hold the phone in place.
The wallet section is capable of holding 5-7 IDs and credit cards while still allowing room for some cash and other stuff in the slot behind it.
Even with all that stuff inside, it still closes securely. The snap is held in place by a magnet. It's not an especially strong magnet, but it seems strong enough.
The snap does block access to the power button when closed.
Access to power and headphone jack is unobstructed. The case comes with a wrist strap that I did not attach, but it's easy to do so if you like such things.
After a few days with this case, I am definitely liking it. The leather is very nice, and it looks and feels much better than a cheap TPU "leather" case. If you can deal with the size of it, it's easy to use.
The back behind the phone case folds to create a stand, but I had trouble getting it to stay put. This isn't an issue for me since I don't stand my phones up like that, but might be to you. [Edit: I just realized I was doing it wrong. Nevermind.]
If you're looking for a high-quality leather folio case, this is definitely worth considering. I have to say it's nice to see a manufacturer making stuff like this for phones beyond the iPhone and Galaxy Sx.
I received a discounted sample from the manufacturer in exchange for a review.
Thanks for the review.
I've always wanted this kind of case but there has always been one factor holding me back. If i used it as my wallet as well as phone case, i'd be very worried about losing it or it being stolen. To lose one or the other is one thing .. but to lose them both in one go would cripple me ><
nice review
i'm selling my 11 yo son's iphone 6 because it's about to drop in value with the iphone 7 about to be announced. i got him a g4 to replace it, and because android > iOS (duh). he currently has an otterbox defender case on his iphone, but when I was looking yesterday it doesn't look like this case exists for the g4. please correct me if i'm mistaken. anyone have any alternate recommendations?
Tudia makes a case for the Moto g4, they are usually very good cases, I don't have one but have had them in other phones and they where very good, I have seen them on Amazon.

Note 4..Marshmallow SmoresV1
I have the same setup butchieboy absolutely love it
Sent from my Moto G (4) using XDA-Developers mobile app
Any hybrid case will do, like this Slim Hybrid Armor Shockproof Rubber Case (Pictured below) you'll find on ebay (US $5.49) or Amazon (US $5.99). Rubber soften the blow, hard plastic protect against hard object impact. Raised lips helps when falling screen side down. Along with a tempered glass screen protector to absorbed screen impact. Just remember to immediately replace this once cracked, otherwise it will not be able to protect the phone afterward.
I bought the one below for my son, a tiny bit more expensive at $7.98. But its of his own choosing.
Otterbox Defender Type case for the G4
I brought this one only con is the built in screen protector that I removed since I have a glass one on the phone itself. Provides excellent protection since my toddler loves to watch movies on my phone.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IL5YTLQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I actually use this combination:
Case: amazon.co.uk/Moto-KAPAVER-Tough-Rugged-Cover/dp/B01H22HBYQ
Screen Protector: amazon.co.uk/Protector-PULESEN®-Generation-Anti-Bubble-G4/dp/B01G8G9P1E
I'm quiet satisfied with them.
Incipio makes a DualPro case for the G4, but it's twice the price of other generic case. I have the Ringke Fusion case on my G4.
Too bad that none of those are available online in India
Hey everyone! I took a look at another case for the Pixel XL, the Revolution Case by Poetic. Enjoy!
Direct link: https://youtu.be/PvNaxexlR_s
Also reviewed the Spigen Slim Armor: https://youtu.be/qfHPox2Wyf8
and Ringke Fusion: https://youtu.be/HhxKC9InIk4
There are many brands of cases out there, some we all know and love, and some small ones we’ve never heard of. Poetic is a brand that’s been around since 2011 and is probably one of the top five case manufacturers out there. Poetic makes three cases for the Pixel and Pixel XL as of now, the Karbon Shield -- a reinforced TPU case with Carbon Fiber style texture, the Affinity -- a slim clear polycarbonate case with reinforced TPU edges, and the Revolution -- a two-piece polycarbonate and TPU rugged behemoth.
I have spent a few days with the Revolution case on my Google Pixel XL. This case gives the Otter Box a run for it’s money. Although it may not feel as premium as the Otter Box, it provides a fairly liberal amount of protection with thick polycarbonate and stiff TPU. The Pixel is installed in the front half of the case where the built in screen protection lays. Them combined pops into the thick back cover, fixed in placed by a series of clips around the border.
It may be hard to believe but It doesn’t feel as bulky as it looks. It rests nicely in my hand and is easy for me to grip. The power button has an adequate amount of tactile feedback and the volume buttons are spot on with the amount of ‘clickiness’ I like.
The cutouts for the ports, camera and headphone jack are all precise or enlarged where needed. The Type-C cutout fits my larger-than-average cable, in case you were wondering. Speaking of the Type-C port, there is a small dust cover that closes over and into the port. It doesn’t go far enough in interfere with the floating connecting wafer. I was never a fan of those covers, so I would be inclined to cut it off.
Where this case shines is it’s price tag. This case only costs $14.95 on Amazon
When comparing to the well-know Otter Box that sells for around $50, this case is a serious bargain for the protection it provides. You simply cannot find a case like this for that price. It also comes in a total of three colors, Black-on-Black, Red/Pink-on-Grey, and Blue-on-Grey. I’m a simple guy so the full black one is fine for me.
If a slim case is what you are looking for, this is certainly not what you want. If you want some serious protection, then here you go. Done!
