what do you keep your desire in.......

desire in?
i have a leather pouch for mine as does my son but my wife has one of these flip type wallets that the desire clips into and i must say i quite like it.
also do you use a screen protector (plastic film thing) again both myself and my sone does but my wife has choose not too, her screen coulours are more vibrant than ours, are there any benefits for me to peel mine off?
thanks

mine's in a gel case with a screen protector (the gel case goes in a neoprene android case when i chuck it in my gym bag).
still perfect after nearly 4 months

Just a leather pouch for me. Tried screen protectors when I first got the phone but never looked right to me. Still in perfect condition after two months.

No need for a case if you look after your stuff properly and don't throw it around.
Same as my Hero, never had a case, sold it in super mind condition, the new owner was like are you sure you had this for 10 months!.

casemate barely there.

I use a Gel case and screen protector. I find the gel case quite beneficial, the rubberised material makes it more grip-able and I'm less likely to drop it. Also I can prop the Desire against the car dash when using GPS navigation and it doesn't move as much as it would without the gel case.

I've had mine for like a month and still in excellent condition. Not a scratch on it. Thought of getting a case for it but thought not to get one. Just been careful with it by not putting other things into my pockets, etc. Shame that I didn't get a case with it like my Touch Diamond

keep it in my pocket .
In all honesty dont have a screen protector or a case. I do get a little paranoid about getting scratches on it but rarely have anything else in the same pocket. So little over over 2 months and still looks perfect

i have a slip case, its built for the iphone but fits the desire great. i don't have a screen protector at all normally do on phones but not with my desire not to sure why i don't on my desire.

Excellent gel case - I've ordered about 10 of these so far for friends and family, £2.95 delivered on ebay, seller is talklinesales. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360259658132 Excellent fast service, they have more stock arriving on Monday.
Don't use a screen protector, use an old slip cover/sleeve for an ancient organiser I had laying around for additional protection in the pocket and a decent lens cloth to keep the screen clean. Got mine on day one (March 27th) and it still looks new.

In G1 Offical Pouch, Ordered http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/Leather-Case...m&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_216&hash=item19bd412bc2
should be coming soon..... have a screen protector... i hate protectors but im criminally careless with my phone so i rather have a protector.
i hate gel cases..... i love the 'naked' feel of a unprotected phone casing so i just slot it in a pouch
bought my G1 a leather flip case which was very very nice... other then the fact that it made it super thick slightly harder to use..... in the end after i dropped my G1 enough of times i carried it around naked(the phone not me) with a badly damaged screen protector.... poor G1
hopefully this pouch will protect the phone from my rough hands

Like i said in another post, those ones that i paied like 6 euros and they're great

LG Nexus 4 Ballistic Shell Gel SG Series Case Review

Ok I gave this case a good two weeks of use so here's an honest review. Please excuse my horrid writing skills :silly:
I bought this case from a vendor on ebay for $22 shipped to my door step (He only had one in stock). When I recieved the case it was sexy. The materials used to make the Ballistic cases are top notch. This case makes you feel like your Nexus 4 will not die when it falls off of something. It is on the larger side of cases but I like big bulky cases.
OK for the past two weeks I have been using the Ballistic case non stop. I have dropped my phone from a pretty tall height onto concrete using this case. I was on a tall ladder about 12ft high and my phone was on top playing pandora. Well I derped and forgot the phone was up on top when I went to move the ladder. Lets just say it sounded bad when myt Nexus hit the concrete. I picked it up thinking of the worst and what do you know the case protected the Nexus 4 from any damage! So the case paid for itself already! The only negative thing I can say about this case is the rubber used is a little too soft and it does collect dust. Other then that I give this case a 9.5/10!
Ballistic Cases make otterbox's look like cheap plastic snap together ebay cases compared to the LG Nexus 4 Ballistic Shell Gel SG Series Case. I will never buy from another casemaker again!

Thanks for the review.
Do you have a screen protector? How does the case fit with the screen protector?
Does the case cause the phone to get hot at all? I wonder sometimes if these thick cases cause devices to run warmer thus reducing the life of the phone.
Also is that a custom rom you're running? What clock/weather widget are you using?
Thanks again!

No screen protector on my device so I couldn't tell ya. Um no my device never gets hot with or without the case. And I am running the stock rom and the widget is HD Widgets.

What icons are you using on your launcher? Good review by the way.

Nice review. I have this same case and it is great. the response when pressing the power button is really good. The case makes the phone feel solid and secure in hand. I previously had the official bumper and while it showed off the phone it was slippery and I doubt it would have really protected it on a fall. I would have saved myself weeks of angst if I had bought the Ballistic case when I first got my N4.

does the clear uag case get scratch easier than the other colors?

I had 1 case ****canned it. Don't use cases now, the manufactures go through so much design to make these phones fit and be slim it is almost a shame to put a case on it. I have dropped mine at least 8 times a few little dings, I wash it daily with soap and water and have yet to have an issue..

.lovemeicase.com/goods.php?id=74[/url] I just got this case and it is awesome, plus it doubles as a crime deterrent. I bought it off eBay though for only 25 I only knew about these cases because I had one for my iPhone 5.

Soap is not good on the phone my friend.

Body Glove case. Really nice grip, anti microbial, and feels very high quality. Snugs the phone tight. Also have the ZAGG glass protector and it works fine with it.

Spigen Tough Armor Case - Gunmetal
This case provide good protection and is very compact. I dropped my phone once and it seemed to provide very good protection.
The buttons are easy to press and I actually like the buttons are flat along the edge of the case, so the chance to mistakenly press the buttons is less!
The cutouts are very good. There are 4 tiny bumps at the back corners that prevent the back from scratches and lift the speaker a little bit above the surface you placed on, so less damping to the speaker.
This case feels high quality made, easy to hold in the hand, and looks good.

Agreed

I actually bought this case before I even bought the phone! It just gives the phone a rugged look and feel. With the phone by itself I didn't necessarily care for the look of it and knew I wanted a case for the S5. Couldn't be happier with this purchase. I even like the ridge edges it has and makes it easier to grip.

My newest spigen case in my collection.

Picked this up from a Cellaris kiosk in the mall.. Had one on my note 2 for the last year and it did an excellent job protecting my phone, so I went back and got one for my S5, I love the kick stand, but the one on my note 2 case seemed more durable than the one on my S5 cases.
They will usually mix and match colors to suit you, and I went with this combo, for the heck of it heh.
heres a link to their webpage, they have other colors at the kiosk, but you get an idea. most of the cases are cruddy, but the kiosks have otterboxes, kraken, and some other decent named cases.. this case set me back about $30.. worth it in my opinion.

cheers

I'm using the incipio teal/cyanish with grey. its kind of funny how small the phone is when I have to take it out (like 2 times now) but this thing is durable. I've dropped it and kicked it a few times and it holds up. love how it keeps my camera nice and tucked in. looks pretty cool too but it's built for abuse it seems.

These are my cases up to this moment. unfortunately, i can't use most of them since i'm using the OEM qi.

best tpu case?

Any input on the best tpu case for the note 4... specifically the verizon note if it makes any difference.

I have the obliq. Tpu. Case it's great good grip on the side solid lip around display and not problem with mic. Holes it goes for about 8 bucks on Amazon

i have read that one of the verizon mics is moved slightly to the side than the other models. so one of the mics will be covered up if it wasn't designed for verizon version. i would make sure any case you buy says it will work on verizon model. i just got a 8 dollar case off ebay when i picked up my note 4. mine is a sprint variant. i am pretty happy with it for the price
http://www.ebay.com/itm/22160699307...49&var=520464926528&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

diztronic is the best tpu case hands down and $9.99 and works fine on my verizon note 4

Nice looking case. How is the side grip when cold? For example, the Samsung protective case plus and Verus Thor get harder, uncomfortable and have less grip when cold but have very good fit, everywhere. Do you have any other cases to compare it to? Could you post some pictures showing the USB port, mics, and headphone jacks, please? And one more close-up on the bezel lip.
TIA.

haven't noticed a difference when the temp changes. we have had a few days in the 30's around here this week and don't notice any difference. it's only been on the phone 3 or 4 days. i just got it in the mail. still waiting on my glass screen protector to get in but i don't imagine it will be a problem
pics arent all that great because i was using the wifes old iphone 4

Thanks. The pictures are fine except that I can't tell if the white outer rim is soft TPU or a harder compound like a polycarbonate?
Also, how would you describe the grip of the sides and back shell?
TIA.

If you want full TPU, the Diztronic is the best game in town. If you want something with a lot more style and great fit, the Samsung protective cover should be given a look.

Grip is ok. I would think there are better cases for that. I wouldnt really say its bad or great but just ok. The black is more a firm rubber feel and the white is a hard plastic feeling material. The edges catch some of the black softer material when u grip it which helps a little. For the price i would say definately worth the money. I swap phones like crazy so i cant see paying more than 30 for a case when i will prob be rocking something else in 6 months or so.

I use the tech21 impactology case. I've dropped my phone 4 or 5 times (slips out of pockets when getting out of my car) and no marks or damage at all. I bought mine from Verizon so a little more expensive, but didn't want to deal with the mic hole issue

I have the spigen capsule, great case and I can even get the note 4 into it with the wireless charging battery cover on. Admittedly its a bit of a squeeze and using the heart rate monitor is a no-go

I just got the Samsung official protective case. I love it. I have a diztronic as well, and it's great, but damn this samsung one is thinner, makes the phone feel overall better and the buttons aren't as easy to push as the diztronic. it's a great case!

This case is the best TPU case hands down. I have the diztronic and uag case and this case wins it for me. Def check it out.

I'm waiting for this to arrive
http://www.rockphone.cn/pdetail.aspx?ID=201411061420290
If it sucks, I'm gonna get the diztronic.

The Samsung case is the best case I own, but I don't consider it a true TPU case due to the textured back. As for the best 100% TPU case, that title goes to the Diztronic, which I also own.

To case or not to case?

I've ordered 3 cases, received 2 so far. Both are just ok. Nothing looks as good as the naked phone. What caseems (if any) is everyone using? Those who don't use a case, do you worrun about scratching the camera or screen when laying it down? Thanks.

I keep my phone in a sunglass bag and in general it's always worked well. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the S6 because one drop can crack the entire back. Plastic may not be "premium" but it is a lot harder to break. That being said I'm not even sure a case would prevent a crack just from shock rather than a direct hit. It'll be interesting to see how many phones get messed up in the next couple of weeks.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

A lot of reviews seem to indicate that the S6 is rather slippery. That alone would warrant a case for a lot of people, I'm sure. It prompted me to order one.
A case probably won't save the phone from a high drop, unless getting something pretty bulky. I'd rather get something slimmer to protect the edges and back from scratches and chips and just be diligent about not dropping it. The case I got is the gunmetal version of the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. Though I think they sent me the slate one by mistake because the color is nothing like the pics on Amazon...

As painful as it will be, I'd suggest using a case. I went with a case from LUVVITT that has a transparent scratch resistant back. So while I can't see the metal sides of my phone, I can at least see the back of the phone, plus at least I know it's safe

I'm going to put a case on first months because I need to get used to shape and form I'm always clumsy first months now I use my s5 without any protection since September nothing happen but on first months the more I take care the more I hit the phone on surfaces.

i've always used the flygrip on my devices but also always used it on a case , i never ever ever have droped my phone once my fingers are locked into the flygrip. i will however be putting a case on this device.

i just ordered this same case, but in clear. hopefully i can stand having it on my phone. i should have put the phone in a case the moment i got it, so i that i would not have enjoyed it for a few days without one and i wouldn't want to continue to carry it without one. haha.

When you get this + your phone, I would like to know what you think of the case.

will the otter box cases be ok with the wireless charging pad ?

It's on the way I should receive it day 10 then I post pictures myself I always buy 2 or 3 cases in the first months after that I use it without a case

Already Ordered front and back Tempered glass with metal bumper case. and didn't receive anything yet.
That combo worked fine with my Z2

Agreed. I have the regular S6 and with the glass on the front and back, it can slip right out of a loose pocket. EASILY. I bought the Spigen NeoHybrid case and I have zero complaints on it.

The official Otterbox site says "no" (at least for the Commuter cases), but lots of anecdotal evidence gives a qualified "yes." I suspect Otterbox's flat refusal is so nobody will ask for their money back if the wireless charging doesn't work.

The longest I've ever used a case was maybe two days. I hate cases because they make the phone feel bulky and I prefer to feel the actually phone.
But a couple weeks I dropped my Z3 on tile, cracked the front glass and part of the screen doesn't respond to touch. So, the S6 case is on the way. I'll save money in the long run from having to replace screens.
