Are there any cases available to buy that will protect the phone against drops?
Some of the people have dropped the phone accidently and already have crack screen on both sides?
I want to purchase something that will protect against drop?
I think that's the point of a case...

Cute.
It's a great question, as I don't see (m)any cases that protect against drops on the market right now.
it's pretty obvious there are not, we are all trying to get otterbox and uag to make one for us which would hopefully help with drops. but a easy search for any case at the moment, would result in no good cases available.
Just came across this on amazon. No feedback on the nexus 4 version as it hasn't been out yet, but I figure for $15 shipped, it looks like the best of any available cases.
Oh, I can't post links yet. Here's a bit.ly link: amzn.to/XvWCO3

^What he said. Besides Ballistic no company has confirmed a heavy duty case for us yet. But everyone should definitely vote here so we can get another good case our way:

In the description, for most cases it says 'protects against dust and scratches'
My focus is 'protection against drops'
amzn.to/XvWCO3 - will this provide protection against drops?
Just wanna comfirm it ;p

Says in stock Dec. 9th., and according to amazon, Delivery Estimate: Thursday December 13, 2012 - Monday December 17, 2012 by 8:00pm. I went ahead and got one anyway, and again for the price it is essentially a temporary case.
On a related note, I just heard back from otterbox:
Unfortunately, we do not have plans to develop a case for that device at this time. I would recommend keeping an eye on our website, otterbox. com, and Facebook page, as they will have the most up to date information for every new release.
Please feel free to reply to this email if you have any additional questions.
What about this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-White...for-LG-Google-Nexus-4-E960-Flim-/110985853012

I'll reply here when it comes and let you know! (Though I probably won't do much actual drop testing on such a snazzy new phone)
Tpu cases work perfectly fine for drops. Just got my Diztronic and it's nice

TPU cases do NOT work perfectly fine for drops UNLESS those drops are very minor. If you drop a phone with TPU case from waist up, chances are things might not look so good once you pick your phone back up.
Seidio has confirmed some cases for the Nexus 4.
http://www.seidioonline.com/seidio-LG-Nexus-4-s/8621.htm
I think the Active series is a more drop friendly case. Probably get one of these or the Ballistic.

My TPU case let my Nexus4 survive a 4 foot drop, no damage... Not willing to test it above that though lol

4' drop onto? My TPU case wouldn't save the N4 from a 4' drop onto anything but carpet or grass probably.

Hey there, I have finally decided to take off the case from my S6 gold platinum model, got a nice tempered glass screen guard for back side of the device, now it looks damn good, I know it's slippery but I think I can handle it, I guess it's not a wise move but phone looks awesome, what do you guys think, pls share your ideas and opinions.
Does it look different with the tempered glass? I use mine without protector and case and it got scratches on the back. Front got nothing though. Middle frame uhm... some little dents.
You are smart to have gotten a tempered glass for the back
Anyways, be careful!

Yeah thanks, I will be careful, no it doesn't look different, tempered glass seems to be nice so I couldn't find any difference, better you get a tempered glass and protect the phone
It's such a hard choice to make, even I want to take off the case, it feels so good!
I left my case on for now especially since it's my first all glass phone I don't really want to damage it
I dont like extra thickness and weight it adds when you put tempered glass protectors on front and back..
I've dropped the phone a bunch of times without a bcase, granted not onto asphalt. While aluminum is very pretty it dents quite easily, but the screen has held up well.
Can you share the link for the glass back you ordered?
I just wiped the screen on my s6. Feels good. Do u think I can use water or do I need a special liquid from Samsung.?

But I doubt that they deliver it outside India (XDA also doesn't allow me to share the link as per my knowledge), quality was really good though, I got front and back tempered glass for only $5 (here in India ₹299)

Don't use water to clean the display, instead you can use soft cloth to wipe the screen.

Wow.. I'm so proud of you. That's the first big step into independence. It'd be even better if you leave it naked. Come on, its not your crown jewels, it's just a god damn phone.

I have ordered a dbrand skin for my S6. Was tired of using a case on this beautiful device.
I was being sarcastic man. Do u really need a post to let people know u removed the case of your phone?
I'm using a ~4.50 $ clear case that I bought on eBay. It's all silicone, super thin and looks really good because I still see all my phone. I get to enjoy the S6's design and yet have an excellent grip. No more worries of it slipping or worries when putting it down on a desk.
Yes, Ofcourse its good decision to take off the case. And today smartphone cases is one type of trendsetter of the tech industry. It is also important to protect your precious devices by using glass screen protector and cases.
Decided to put my case back again! After some weeks naked and one big drop, I've got a big dent on the speakers and 2 corners. The aluminum is the worst part of the phone since it's polished. If it had some kind of pattern to hide the dents, that'd be cool, but it's all plain polished! A bumper case would be ideal..

Why does no one really make a real bumper? I used one on my glass nexus 4 for two years.....it survived a drop from the second story at the gym. The only bumper I've seen for the honor 8 is metal....I'm looking for plastic/rubber
There are bumpers made for Honor 8 other than metal.
Just search the Internet

I bought Spigen Rubber Armor on Ebay
I was looking for a non-metal bumper case a while back with zero luck as well. I think they just don't exist for some reason.
i cut my clear case back off....it's a work in progress right now, but i've dropped it a couple of times and the screen/back/phone have all survived. I really just need to clean up the lines and maybe add some double sided tape to the sides so that it stays on better.
Did somebody find a bumper for Honor 8? I am finding only these Luphy metal bumpers. RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper is awesome but they do not sell one for honor 8.
I've had these on other phones and will be buying for my new Honor 8:

just buy a cheap silicone case then cut the back part of it. thats what I did with my phone (not honor 8), a bit ugly because I cut with scissors but as long as it serves its purpose for me it's good enough.

you cannot use the outer layer by itself because the size will be bigger to fit the inner part.

I purchased one of those metal bumpers from China. Looks great, feels fine, but it definitely kills your GPS signal. Couldn't use Google maps or anything related your specific location. Going back to the returns.

I got my metal case today and true enough, it blocks the signal the moment I put the phone in. 4G dropped to 3G in less than 10 seconds. The case did have holes on the sides which exposes the antenna line but that doesn't help at all.
Hey guys
It's been quite a long time I'm having honor 8. All this i have used the same silicon case, which is weird and dirty now. I really hate it now. In Saudi it's quite hard to get any honor accessories. And on the internet we just see small reviews from the buyers(useless).
So, I'm asking you to suggest me a cool case/bumper and if you already have one of yours, then please upload a picture of it.(full screen covering tempred glass too, if you have). I would really love to see.
??
I bought this a few months ago for $0.99, and it really doesn't get better than this. Simple and classy, black matte finish so it doesn't turn yellow or collect lint from your pocket.

I had a slim dark blue matte gel cover to go with the phone, but then I found this, which is the best I've found.

i bought myself a front-and-back foil for the honor 8 and to protect it i got this metal-frame: http://amzn.to/2wBipeh
imo i dont lose any design and a dont waste free space in my pocket.
Browse Ruilean cases. They always serve good ones.
I just got this - I had a slim blue tpu get one, and I had the leather effect one i posted previously, but this is slim, very good fit, very nice feel.

I ordered the Blindbox in Germany so I got delivered the sandstone and sandstone case additionally. They are quite hard and not really flimsy. However it's true, camera protection is barely there and I don't think those cases will protect from a drop really good. Also, I want to rock a transparent case with this beautiful blue color. The included one looks and feels really good but is way to soft at the sides, this is even lesser protection than the others cases.
Currently I am using the sandstone case as it gives me way better grip than the carbon one.
I have ordered this case. Let's see how it handles once it gets here: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B085DTHLSZ/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_hsUMEb0JFJSHQ

I drop my phones about once per year so I need a case to protect my phones but a simple bumper case is not enough with these curved displays and depending on how the phone lands, screen might shatter even with a good bumper.case. The cover cases also prevent damage from typical day to day usage.
I have seen some really good implementation of always on displays with smart cover cases, especially from Samsung.
I cannot recommend the case I linked, I don't have it yet and I do not expect much from the case, it just happens to be one for sale now, I think beat cases typically don't get released this early. If anyone sees a good cover case, please post here, also if you see always on screen mods for the phone.
I've ordered it! It looks good but won't ship until next month!
i hope otterbox makes a pop socket symmetry case for this
I've ordered 1 of these for the missus.
I will wait for Spigen or Ringke cases etc

Had a popsocket for half a year. I liked it. I was reading web books. I did not trust it staying put . . . so . . . . I dabbed a tiny, tiny little bit of super glue at the edges.

Nice grippy side is 'critical' for me.
