More than a shell than a case but my preferred solution since years:

It's with a microfibre inlay so it cleans your screen every time you take it out of the shell.
Unfortunately only in German but Google translation should help.

There's two on Mobile Fun, a Flexishield Skin and the Case-Mate Tough Case. Both are in stock but the Tough Case doesn't have an image yet? Others too but not for weeks.

I see Zagg have an invisible shield available for the HTC One S on their website http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-one-s-t-mobile-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
Anyone have any thoughts? Considering getting the maximum protection one for my replacement handset once I manage to get a swap.

add the zagg and the Cruzer Lite A2

has anyone manage to find like a desktop cradle/dock for the htc one s?

Does anyone have first hand experience with the ZAGG Shields. They offer screen only, screen and back and full coverage which is claimed to cover front back and all edges.
I wonder how the application process is with this kind of material? Is it some kind of smart material that folds around the corners while applying pressure or heat and then sticks firmly? Or do you get delivered three "shields", front, back and thin slices that you need to align very carefully around the edges so nothing overlaps?
Our device has a lot of slight curves and "weird edges" so any firsthand experiences would be welcome.
I am trying to avoid any sort of gel cases cause they feel icky, and also I do not think that any sort of hard plastic case will get my love cause it takes away a lot of the slim feel of the device. Of course they would offer better drop protection, but that is not my main worry.
The main reason I am looking is that I am starting to hate the fingerprint smudged that are so clearly visisble on the ceramic surface. I would order it "on the benefit of doubt" to test but as of now the distributors in Europe / Germany do not seem to have it in stock. Ordering from overseas, with shipping/handling and import tax will double the price to me and sending it back then if i dislike it is pointless...

Im looking for the same thing :/

Received the Zagg Invisible Shield today, and just finished fitting it. Must admit that I'm disappointed with the fit of the screen protector, to the point that I have taken it off again. It must only cover about 90% of the screen, and I didn't really like the feel of it once it was on. Quite tacky and doesn't let your finger slide over the screen very easily.
The rest of it I have kept on for now, but again it totally changes the feel of the phone, I have the MOA black version. It now feels very tacky, but I feel this may be a good thing as it doesn't slide in the hand as easily. This may help owners of the Grey version which is reportedly quite slippery. It also doesn't cover the edges where the chipping has been noticed by some owners, so don't buy this thinking it will protect against the chipping problems.
I'm just going to keep using mine as normal, and if I get the chipping again I'll exchange for the grey version and get a replacement Zagg Shield to help with the slipperyness.
It was quite tricky to fit, but once it's on the phone you can slide it into position quite easily, but it is quite hard to get it to conform to the curves and edges. I went for the full protection which gives 2 sections for the back, one for the top front round the speaker and the screen protector.

I had Invisible Shield on my MyTouch 3G (HTC Sapphire) and I wasn't a fan. I had it on all sides of the phone and it was constantly peeling at the edges. Then, dust would get underneath the corners. Also, after about a year with it on it started to turn yellow. Also, I found I had to press a lot harder for it to recognize my input. After a while I was used to it but honestly, I don't think it was worth it. I removed it maybe six months back and my phone is still in good condition. I don't have any experience with other screen protectors so they may be better options out there, but I would skip invisible shield.

Regarding screen protector, I bought the genuine one from ebay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221002245405?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Always go for HTC genuine one and used lots of cheap ones none of them did the job properly.
This one fits so well it even makes the installation a bit difficult and you need to be patient, just calm yourself down, sit comfortably, and practise a lot before installation. Try to be as steady as possible and you are good to go.
It took me only once to put the previous one on my incredible s but twice on one s due to larger screen. But the result is remarkable you won't regret it.

Agreed. I use the genuine one and it is miles better than anything else

Had invisibile shield for my psp, at first I liked it very much but then afterwards I got sick and tired of the feel it gave off. To me it felt really sticky and rubbery.

[CASE][I9505][SPIGEN] Spigen Neo Hibrid Case - Tips and thoughts

Spigen Neo Hibrid Case For Galaxy S4

PURPOSE
Good day, everyone! This is BlackLineAndroidHD here and if you're wondering about what decision you need to make in terms of case buying for your Galaxy S4, you came to the right place. Here I will talk about my impressions and thoughts about Neo Hibrid Case from Spigen. You will be able to quit this thread with a strong opinion about what you should do: BUY THE CASE or GO AND SEARCH ANOTHER ONE.
MAIN THOUGHTS
First thing you will ask yourself before buying a case is : Is it gonna be worth the money? Well, I must admit I recieved this case as a gift for my birthday and I searched the internet to find out what the price actually was. It costs ~35 $ in Romania, 40 with shipping.
After I used it more than 4 months now, I have come with a couple of PROS AND CONS.
PROS
1) The Design and look of the case
---- Here I must say, hands down for the look of this case. It looks terrific, the writing on the back with "13MP", the logo and other minor details caught my eyes.
2) The overall quality and feeling
---- Quality is a must in this "case". I have to admit it feels great in hands. The back is made of some sort of Polycarbonate which gives you a good feeling of security while holding the phone.
3) Comes with Jelly Bean Home Button
---- Now the home button is to be pressed more easily without a miss thanks to the Jelly Bean Home Button which comes with the case.
CONS
1) MAJOR THING TO BE AWARE OF - HEADPHONE JACK
---- There is a major problem with the side part of the case, I mean the colored one which keeps the case stable. In the top left corned there's the 3,5mm jack input for headphones or whatsoever. The fact is that not all headphones can be connected with this case to the device and that's because of the fact that the case itself doesn't let the jack get into position. I explained that into my review down here. Make sure you watch it so there won't be any problems understanding the situation.
2) Back plastic cover
---- Another problem of this case is the back plastic case. It has an advantage of being such secured and gives a great feeling in hand BUT let me tell you something I found out by myself after using this case for a while. I live in Romania, and during summertime temperatures can get over to 40 degrees Celsius. If you keep your phone in pocket, and if you live in a hot area then you will definitely occur my problem. The back plastic case will kind of melt and I advise you to watch my video down here to see what I mean.
3) Power button is suffering from pressing
---- Another disadvantage is the powerbutton of this case which overrides the stock button of the device. After several hundreds pressings or so it gets "used". I don't know if it is Samsung's fault or Spigen's but the fact is that it exists.
Conclusion
I invite you to watch my detailed YouTube Review of this case just to make sure you are ready to build your own opinion about this case. In my opinion this case is good, not excellent but good enough for its price.

I was obsessed with this case in the beginning, until I also began to suffer from the same plastic backing lifting up from the heat/everyday use. It affected the camera when using flash, since the flash would reflect off the inside of the case back into the lens so there would be a flash glare at the bottom of the picture(s). I threw it back into it's packaging and switched to the Spigen slim armor. The slim armor has not let me down yet after a year or so. It's my everyday case.
Good review though. This is a decent case for all around protection with a slim iPhone-looking design. But the material they use for the rubber backing needs another quality control check. I'm sure Spigen is aware of this problem. In fact, I believe they made a newer version of the same case that changed the charging port around, and the TPU material so it doesn't cause the same problems. Have a look here:
http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-s4-case-neo-hybrid.html
The Galaxy S4 Neo Hybrid Series™ is an assembly-type case with a TPU back cover and a polycarbonate frame. The Neo Hybrid is form-fitted to effectively protect your device from external impact. The Galaxy neo Hybrid is designed to highlight the curves of the Galaxy S4. It fits precisely onto the phone for a natural and sleek look. The Galaxy S4 Neo Hybrid is a 2 part case that can be dissembled into a TPU back cover and a polycarbonate frame. The Neo Hybrid uses premium TPU material for extra durability. The TPU back cover will not sag or expand due to heat from the device.

the thin piece of plastic at the power connector is a worry, it breaks very easily rendering the case useless

Yeah, you are definitely right, but as I said in this review, that's not the only problem that occurs with this case. Summing up it a great case for it's price, but Spigen has a lot more to take in mind or they will start losing their customers.

The cutout is too small for microUSB port. I have HTC and BlackBerry USB cables and none of them would fit without removing the case. As Dan mentioned, the piece of plastic did break on me a few months ago. I am looking to get a new case, but with the TPU warping and the flimsy plastic bumper, I don't know if it deserves a second purchase.

Thanks for nice job

POETIC Affinity Series Premium Clear Thin Case [Amazon]

I received my POETIC Affinity Series Premium Thin Fit case in the mail today. The case was packaged well and was received very shortly after I got my tracking number. I must say the buttons have a good feel to them when pressed using this case. I can feel the bottons and know when they are pressed. This is important to me. It is a lot better than the MoKo clear case I purchased recently. This case provides good protection all around which includes the back, 4 sides and front (small lip to protect the screen). The thin polycarbonate Spigen case I am currently use does not cover the top (headphone jack) or the bottom (the charging port) section of the phone. The 4 corners of this Poetic case has some additional protection from what I can see. It should help against some minor drops. The back is polycarbonate and the sides are TPU.
I also removed the cover a few times and noticed it did not scratch my phone which is awesome. The case can be easily removed if you want to clean the phone. This is important because I have owned other cases where I was scared to remove it. No one should fee this way.
I also slid the phone in and out of my jean pocket without any issues. I have used many different cases in the past and have found some to be very difficult to pull out of your pocket.
There are a two raised lines on the back of the phone which help prevent it from sliding around. I placed it on top of my laptop lid and began to open it. The phone did not slide off which was neat. I assume it will help keep the phone from getting scratched when placed on a rough surface. Ever placed your phone on the ground to tie your shoes?
Overall, I enjoy using this case. I recommend it to anyone who wants extra protection without the bulkiness. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

wondering if I should get this in white or black. I have a graphite nexus so would the black stripes look bad? and I have two clear cases so I'm wondering if I should get another with the frost white. wish someone had photos with the graphite nexus 6p.

I believe I said this in another thread, but couldn't they put their P anywhere else like above the S or below the N?
I got the clear, black one. It's the perfect case with that one blemish mentioned above.

Another review of the black case.
Things I like:
1. The grip on the sides and back while still remaining thin.
2. The black accents on the graphite phone.
3. Button response
4. Cutouts that work
5. Fit finish and build quality.
6. Raised area around the camera
Things I don't like:
1. Too many "tramp stamps". Is there a need for three places of branding.
The "P" on the rear covers the "NEXUS" text. Not cool. The other two I can live with.
2. I would prefer the FP sensor cutout to be smaller.
Overall I like the case and I'll use it as a daily driver for a while.

I have this case with my carbon fiber warp from slickwarp.

Hi guys,
Our production team is working on a new and improved version of the case by raising the "P" so it won't block the beauty of the Nexus brand as well as removing the 'affinity' on the side. Hope that helps. For those who received a case from us - we will be happy to send a new and improved version Please PM us or email us at [email protected]
Cheers!

If we purchased through Amazon should we contact you there or through the email you've provided?

Mine just came in and it looks and feels fantastic. Could do without the extra branding so I'll be contacting Poetic to get the revised version when it is released.

good combo on the frost:good: my main concern is protection as im pretty prone to dropping my phones lol, so could u plz update on how it has held on till now, and how good is it at actually protecting the phone.

Sorry but... these are ugly, inelegant and cheap-looking. Why mar such an elegant, refined device like the 6p with a case for teenagers? Companies really need to move away from selling stuff like this. It looks like a UAG knock-off -- and UAG's are ugly monstrosities.
But, you know, different strokes for different folks. Live and let live and all that. Nice is such a broad term.

I hate to revive a dead thread, but I just wanted to drop my concerns in case anyone decides to buy or try a different case in the future. This case caught my eye since I am rocking the gold 6P. I ordered the clear Affinity case and at first, I was very pleased. After using it for approximately a month, I have noticed my phone wobbles a bit with this case on. Looking at the case on my 6P, I realized that the Affinity is about 1-2 mm taller than the actual phone... like there is a noticeable gap between my phone and the inside of the top of the case. This 1-2mm space is the cause of the case moving somewhat when on my 6P. The price is great for this case, but honestly, I would not recommend this case to anyone. I've also just noticed that the case somehow managed to get the NEXUS wording either burned into the case or somehow imprinted on the case. Maybe I just got a lemon, but this is a horrid case.

​
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 Pixel XL is priced at $24.99, and you can pre-order a CrashGuard for the Pixel/Pixel XL.
Use discount code "XDAFTW" for 15% off until November 10, 2016. Check out the RhinoShield store here.
Thanks to RhinoShield for sponsoring this post and contest.

Where is the blue to match VZW true blue? Anyways, good bumper, true bumper, is always welcomed!

Any pictures of the bumper? How wide is it?

Any plans for clear and or orange?

This bumper added a lot of widness/tallness on the 6P and I imagine this will be the same. It will probably be manageable due to the Pixel's smaller size (XL included), but still... I'd like to see them make a more minimalistic bumper too.

Loved the crashguard on my Nexus 6P, so I might as well get this too for my Pixel XL

I just hope this Bumper is better than the crappy one Verizon sold for the Moto Z Force. That thing really was bad. The best bumper ever was the Nexus 4 I think, the all glass Nexus. That bumper was great looking.

I can say that this bumper is great, I have it already and it adds very little bulk to the device. I didn't like it in the 6P so much cuz it made it very wide.

You guys should try it in person, it made my 6P horrendously large and hard to hold that I returned it.

Reviews looks pretty poor on the Pixel Xl version. Is there gonna be a revised 2.0 version?

I've received mine today.
I was using a Spigen rugged armor before and the bumper feel so much nicer. It doesn't really make the phone wider and it feel good to touch the glass/metal

I've seen such mixed reviews on this bumper. Right note I'm using a cheap tpu car and it's ok but I'm looking for something more premium. My wife just dropped and shattered her iPhone today and I'm thinking I need to bump up my protection but I hate bulkiness

Yeah, I don't get it. Some are saying maybe it's the first batch that is an issue. I have such a hard time taking the bumper off and I'm even scared that I would damage my phone putting so much force on it just to remove a simple bumper. It's such a shame cause I really like having it on my 6P and it feels real nice on the Pixel except for the tight feel. You can't even put a DBrand skin on it with the bumper cause it'll scrape off the edge.
I've reached out to them to see if there was an issue with the first batch. And if they say no, then I would not recommend them to anyone.

I can confirm its pretty tight.
I tried to remove it and I couldn't. I'm also scared that it will crack my screen from the pressure needed.
Even with the bumper in, I can still use it in my daydream so I won't bother to remove it at all.

So, I just decided to buy another one but from Amazon this time, which has mix reviews. This one still has a tight fit but not as bad as the one I pre-ordered from RhinoShield. Their response to me was to make a video and direct me on how I can get it off. Did not feel like putting that one back on because it's just that dam frustrating. Don't know how many people that had issue actually emailed them but I think they should take the review more seriously and actually test it themselves. At this point, I still wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Unless they want to test their luck on getting one that isn't so tight.

Those who are using this bumper, is there any problem with 3.5 mm jack? Heard that its difficult to plug in and out headphones and IEMs, is that true?

Mostly an issue with headphones with a 90 degree connector. My favorite IEM has one and I can't use it with the bumper. I am waiting on some adapters to remedy this but they will negate the benefits of the 90...

This is my clear favorite since I literally HATE flip cases and generally think, that cases should not kill the elegant shillouette of a phone.
So I don´t link monster security safety cases either. But that´s just me

I have found these which let you add custom images:
Cover Case
Leather Flip Case

I just ordered a case from Amazon. Will see how it preforms before I post a link to it. It looks promising.

will the cases and screen protectors for the chinese/international variant (x720) fit on the US variants (x727)?

I ordered this one Flip Leather Case, but when i ordered it come from China (available in EU warehouse now) and is stil in transit.

Is there a flip case that has a magnet inside and smart sleep function? To turn on and of the phone when it flips? I didn't find on ebay.

Curious if anyone got one of these cases

Sandstone Case
I got this one from eBay. Copies the sandstone finish from OnePlus. The ring stand can be removed.
Item number: 291908663865(Can't post links yet)

I wanted one like the caselogic I have for my Note 4 but could not find. This one at least sort of "looked" the same. But it doesn't lol. the side gold color is silly and ugly but it is $5 and delivered from USA. So its a cheap much better solution till I can find what I want/need
PS: caselogic for note 4 is beter cause it has hard case on the side. this Chinese doesn't (it just changed the side color.

good things about the case:
1. protects well the screen
2. using the fingerprint almost makes me feel that this case is a must. it fits my finger so perfectly that I have no miss reading it
3. because the side part is much stronger than the original case I don't accidently turn off the screen anymore when I rotate the phone
overall: not pretty but very functional case

I got the black leather case from the first link you posted from amazon... got it to hide the almost-rose-gold phone body color that was the only option to purchase during the 'lightning deals'. It fits really well, added grip on the sides, the fake leather backing gives it a nice texture but very plastic-y, doesn't overheat, overall it offers very little protection on the corners and the front glass is protected by the border of the case but only minimally. Hope this helps.

the leather is not even close to be leather. it is plastic imitating leather. The caselogic is way much better texture. My hope is that as the phone gets more popular a company like caselogic decides to build a case for. But ... it is only $5 and way much better than the one that comes with it.
I do like that i have to actually put some pressure to click in the buttons. this way, i never accidentally click on anything. And i never missed a fingerprint reading since i changed to this case. Link i gave is the same one, but delivers fast from usa.
if anyone find one that is real leather and not plastic in the sides please let me know.
this is what i want:

Bought this case https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N8Y8WUD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Fits exactly as it should, slightly thicker than the stock case so the camera is _slightly_ more protected. Also has the thicker bumpers on the edges in the same material as the rest of the case. Not incredibly shock-proof but it fits the phone very well, looks nice, and when paired with the full-front Toshion screen protector it is very classy IMO. Pictures to come later when I get home!

As promised some photos of the case next to the stock case, and on the phone itself. Sorry for the potato quality, took the photos with my old Zenfone 2.
