I am getting my Note 5 on Tuesday and am looking for suggestions on cases. Right now I have a Spigen neo hybrid on my s6 but I don't like how scratched the back has become. However I don't want to hide the beauty of this phone.
Suggestions?
I'm using a Cruzerlite until my UAG comes in.

I got the incipio dual pro shine, but for you I think a clear tpu is best, all others will scratch. Sgp has that might be called liquid crystal if I remember correctly.
I won't buy a phone with out buying a otterbox defender first

I hate cases, but am using the spigen ultra thin liquid crystal clear tpu case.
Phone still looks good, and very little bulk added.
I will never own or use an Otterbox... Way too bulky for my tastes.
I just got the Obliq clear case with kickstand. Very happy with it thus far. It doesn't add much to the bulk of the phone, seems to offer good protection, is clear and allows the beauty of the phone to show through, retains the curve of the phone, and has a kickstand that functions well. I'd highly recommend it!

Thank you for all your responses. They are all great options. I used to only use otterbox defenders but with phones getting better looking I like to see them. I am leaning towards with the Spigen or obliq now. Unfortunately it won't be delivered till tomorrow and I still haven't ordered a case so I hope I can keep it in good shape till I do.

Just a heads up. I discovered that the Obliq case uses a magnet to keep the kickstand shut and it was causing the spen to not work where it was. I'm trying to find a way to dampen it so I can continue using the case

Thanks for the heads up.
I purchased the Samsung protect case today from T-Mobile. It is by far the most minimal case I have seen...the sides of the phone are completely open. It is not cheap, but I am loving it so far!
I swear by Incipio cases. Using a Incipio Dual Pro Hardshell cases with impact absorbing core. Red color. I've used them for my HTC m7 & M8. Returned both phones in pristine condition.

I got the Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit case (minimalistic, somewhere between soft/hard cases) for $9.90. I've had these in my last 3 phones and love them! http://www.amazon.com/Cruzerlite-Cell-Phone-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B010PY7OQ8
Purchased the VENA clear case. I was looking for a Ringke fusion type case, I but couldn't find one so I went with this option. This is an excellent alternative. I'm very pleased. Very sturdy, fits perfectly (even with tempered glass screen protector) and it's non slippery, while maintaining a minimalist profile. This is just my personal opinion. I couldn't ask for more.

I love it as well, my only two annoyances are the scratches and fingerprint magnet, which is found on pretty much every clear/glossy case.
Is this case rigid? How large is the headphone/USB cutout for larger cables?

Where you buy from?
Im on Amazon, im seeing VskinCl and Retain models, which one did you get?
I just got the incipio octane in the mail yesterday. I guess its originally 25 but someone Herr posted a link with a code that made it 11 total so I grabbed it. People were saying they really liked it, imo its decent but nothing to go crazy about.
I was thinking about picking up something else. Had my eye on the cruzerlite bugdroid case. Then I seen this post. Not sure what to do.

Why not just link to the product you purchased?
Seems like he's talking about this one. I have one on the way. I had a similar case for the Droid Mini, and Turbo. They hold up well, and no matter how clumsy I may be, I never managed to crack a screen. Hopefully this one treats my X just as well.
Thanks...
....Thinking of ordering one, I have a cruzerlite bugdroid on the way, seen it on the 6p, it looked nice, so I ordered one for this phone.

Just ordered mine a few days ago, my only concern is the TPU turning yellowish over time so I opted for the black border, but I have a white/silver frame :/
The Incipio case has a frosted back and silicone bumper and is running at $14 on sale right now, might go for that one too

I don't really like the bugdroid on this phone. The thickness of the case, coupled with the cutouts for the buttons makes it hard for me to press the buttons sometimes. That's why I ordered the Vena case for this phone.
I'm still liking the VENA, I use it for more rough handling like outdoors or exercising... Most days at the office I prefer the PLESON tpu case, vile which is more flexible and has a slimmer profile

I've been using the hybrid case for a few months, very happy with it.

Probably the best TPU case for this phone
I posted a review/overview of the Vena VskinTPU cases on Youtube that I cant link because XDA thinks I'm a new user for some reason. I have had mine since the video was mad and alternating carrying them has kept them from yellowing at all. Just perfect TPU implementations. Not a lot of added bulk, good drop protection, and laser-accurate cutouts. They have been a real surprise.
Search 'Moto X Pure 2015 clear TPU' on Youtube to watch it.
Please post "Real" pictures of your new Note 7 cases here.

This is a FYY case Genuine leather 100% hand made wallet case I ordered last month from Amazon it was $3.99 with $3.99 shipping and the clear case was $7.99 free Amazon prime shipping I looked at the same FYY wallet case today and it's now $25.00 so I got lucky now I need to make my mind up about Black onyx or Titanium silver Note 7 !!

Venom, Does your UAG have two holes in the top or only one?
This is what I got.
I got this one from VRS. Very minimalist TPU case just to prevent disaster and protect the body some. I usually get Cruzerlite but I loved the brushed look of this (reminds me of the actual phone).

I don't have the phone yet so will update my review at a later time. But this case is very thin at 1mm or slightly less. It's a soft TPU and I would say is about 95% clear just like most similar case. The inside back has these very thin dotted texture to prevent the phone from sticking which should prevent the spotty wet look that super smooth cases will give you. You really have to look really close to notice them and it doesn't affect the clarity of the case suprisingly. The case looks exactly as advertised on amazon but they should add pictures of the cut outs. I'm concerned about the cut out for the spen and usb C. Hopefully they are big enough. There are air pockets on all 4 corners of the case which will help with impact if it drops on the corner. The case came in a nicer plastic bag and not those cheap clear plastic bags. Overall it's a great case so far. But my opinion might change concerning those cutouts after I get my phone to test it on.

Accessories for the Note 7
Here's what I received today. Was supposed to have had the phone today also, but you all are probably in the same boat.
In any event, whatever - Spigen Neo Hybrid Crystal Gold Champagne (to match the gold metal on the blue coral note 7), and an IQ Shield Wet Install Liquid Skin (usually go with Spigen Steinheil Ultra Crystals, but those aren't out yet).
Also ordered some tempered glass screen protectors from www.xtremeguard.com for $1.50 each!! Yes, use coupon code OLYMPIC90 and you get 90% off. Those haven't arrived yet, though I ordered 2 for the note 7 at a whopping $3 bucks (snail mail, hence no shipping costs). Went ahead and ordered 1 for my existing Note 5 from them also, just to try out their tempered glass (even though I have 2 Spigen Ultra Crystals left).
Anyway, enjoy!!!!!!(as much as is possible without the phone in it)!!!!!!
Hi there,
I just received my new 128GB Pixel XL. I want to buy a heavy duty rugged case. I found thoses two and I want to know if any of you have use these cases before. I know the Defender series from Otterbox is the better but I dont have 80$ to put on a case.
I tried to post pics but the forums didnt allow me to post them ... Sorry about that.
The first one is this one on ebay from SOGA
For Google Pixel XL [Tri-Guard Case] + Belt Clip & Built in Screen Protector
The second one is the Youmaker on Amazon
Google Pixel XL Case, YOUMAKER Full-body Rugged Belt Clip Holster Case with Built-in Screen Protector for Google Pixel 5.5 inch (2016 Release) - Black/Black

If you want a heavy duty case. The Otterbox Defender is one of the best.

I like Supcase (Unicorn Beetle, actually) when it comes to heavy duty cases. I haven't tried their Pixel XL model yet but plan to. I used to have one for the LG G3-4 and they were great. Built-in screen protector and added grip on the sides.
As of right now, I am using a Caseology Parallax. It looks quite nice but wouldn't label it "Heavy Duty". I also like Obliq cases on Amazon.
All of these can be had for 1/4 of the Otterbox cases. Otterbox is rather pricey but they do have good customer service and hassle-free warranty.
As for the two you are talking about, I would go for the youmaker one. It seems to offer better protection.

I bought the poetic revolution case for the XL. They're pretty heavy duty and well made for $15
I finally order the YouMaker on Amazon. I m supposed to receive it jan. 9 so I will let you know what I think about it anyways for 25 box including shipping to Canada I had nothing to loose !

Just bought this case on Amazon. Reminiscent of the Supcase beetle from the Nexus 6p. Excited to try it out.

Was really disappointed to see that the Beetle changed so drastically (and not necessarily in a good way). Needless to say, I hopped on this case as soon as I saw it. Should be here Saturday ready for a head to head with my UAG. ?

buttons very clicky. No perceived volume effect. touch effect not changed,
Buttons feel very similar to UAG, very responsive and sound almost exactly the same as naked.

My first favourite case was a trident for my Moto x. After that, I had the speck candy shell for Nexus 6P which I loved. My current Caseology is great looking but too slick for my liking. I'll definitely try this once the clear|black is back in stock. Thanks guys for sharing your experience.

How's everyone liking this case. Does lint and dirt get caught in the back crevices?
Looks exactly like the new ones from Supcase what's different?

The new version from supcase is crap. This one mimics the looks of the beetle case they had for the 6p. Which was one of best cases I've ever used. I was really hoping supcase would have used a similar design.
Looks kinda bulky. Is it? How is the grip? They are still out of stock on Amazon.
Trident is good. Dunno about this case.
