Truthfully verizons body glove case is best for non bulkyness.Very stable fits well .ect.
I like my body glove
Personally I have tried the Body Glove case and I like the Otter Box Commuter case a little better. The new Seidio Innocase Active is also a very nice case; a close second to the Otter Box.
Definitely otter box. Slim sturdy and stylish

one problem though it has to slide into my jeans. Most of these cases have rubber and dont slide
Throwing in a vote for the Body Glove case.. great fit with just enough bulk to give you that warm protected feeling

You should check out Techie Warehouse. If you go to the Covers & Skins area for the Droid X you'll find over 300 covers to choose from.
Best one I got laying around was not a Seidio, Otterbox or Trident... it was the Dual Layer Vertex Covers just google "techie warehouse vertex cover for droid x"
I quote from our product description about this product "The Motorola Droid X gets ultimate protection. A Screen Protector and two virtual walls of defense. The inner silicone core absorbs shock from bumps and drops. A hard polycarbonate exterior shell prevents cuts, scrapes, dings, and damage for the Motorola Droid X."
Let me know what you think of it.
i bought one of the 3 dollar black silicone ones off amazon. works fine for me..

I have had the Otterbox, Seidio, Innocase, Verizon, Kragen, but I didnt really like any of them. Iphone cases are so much more refined compared to these.
The Otterbox Seidio, and Kragen cases are too bulky, the Innocase looks good but broke on me, and the Verizon Kickstand Case was too cheaply made.
There is a guy from another forum thats making a phone case. It looks great but its not for sale yet, I am personally looking forward to it because he claims its easy to open and has a bunch of other features. It looks absolutely beautiful, so lets hope he can pull this off.
Right now Im using a cheap Ebay Silicone case, its not great either but it was only $2 and thats value for money. I also got a Smartphone Coaster, its a cheap bit of tin but it does the job for now.

Phantomskinz does have skins for the droid X.. Check the site again!
+1 For the Body Glove
I really enjoy my Body Glove, Although I've managed to wear out the snap on the lower left side by removing the case over time to do a battery pull and it no longer holds securely.
I have a Green Trident Kraken on order, due to arrive today actually assuming UPS will brave the icy roads, Good reviews on protection but they all admit to the sacrifice of sleekness.
The pliable verizon silicone case is nice and it fits with extended battery-Motorola and cover. You can find them for $10 online or eBay.
Check ebay item #250759993717
I bought a Sedieo Innocase Surface back in December it cracked in half in January. They are really nice looking, but if you ever have to do a battery pull or if you want to use your car dock, forget about getting it out of the damn case. It fits way to tight. So I am back to the ole Silicone case, which works fine, but sucks if you put it in your pocket, cause it sticks to cloth / jean material.
I'm on my 2nd Body Glove case.
Likes: Belt clip, rubber texture, light weight
Dislikes: Rubber texture deteriorates, weak tabs will not survive impact.
It has kept my DX from scratches but the tabs that snap it together break too easily. First was replaced under warranty. I think I will kick out the $ for an Otter.

Those cases with tabs that snap together aren't meant to be taken apart, after 4 or 5 times they will break. I created a case that opens easily, has no tiny tabs to break and has a multitude of other features.
I've also taken great care to make sure that the case is placed further away from the screen and buttons making it easy to touch the screen and press the buttons on the bottom.
There's space for the OEM extended battery, an extra micro SD card, and even an ID or credit card.
The case also functions as a stand and car mount, my case allows you to watch movies, make movies, capture photos, and use your phones GPS in your car with ease. These features not only work with the Motorola Droid X but with other cases, other phones, and even some other electronic devices such as digital cameras.
The case isn't any more expensive then other high quality cases either. Its 20 bucks and made from the same high strength plastic as other high end cases, so basically if your in the market for a case and other accessories you can pay for just the case and get the rest for free essentially.
If you think this case must be huge and weigh a lot you'd be surprised, its really a simple concept, its almost like a normal cellphone case but we've changed a the design a bit to allow it to function as an adjustable stand.
I can't post links yet so you'll have to google "Jawcase" to find more info, pics, and videos.
I like the Jawcase concept. Alot. I pledged. And good luck with getting your project off the ground Heather. Hope it gets funded.
I've gone through 3 body gloves now with my 4th's clips are broken yet again....
I think its a bit ridiculous that I cant take my phone case off because the clips can't stand it.
I need to find a new case, and I'm thinking of just going with one of the hard-ish silicone cases. The body glove looks great when you buy it, but the rubber wears away like no tomorrow and the clips are destroyed after a couple battery pulls. I had one for my enV touch and it lasted the entire lifespan of the phone with minor tears and such. My droid x's can't last anymore than maybe a month. Don't get me wrong, the body gloves are wonderful, but I'm clearly not having a good experience with it or maybe I'm not handling it properly
+1 for the body glove case. I havent had any issues with the tabs, but i always open it at the bottom with a coin.

Shoot...I was pretty much sold on the Innocase Surface case, was gonna order one in the next few days. I've tried the cheap TPU case, the cheap 2-piece snap together case, maybe I'll try the Verizon silicon one instead of the Innocase.
i want a small case, doesnt make the phone much larger, decent build quality,
any suggestions?
i saw some 8$ tpu cases on amazon, are those worth it?
Yeah those TPU cases are good. I have two of them and neither one has disappointed. The two I have are the ones below and for the second link I also have that one in a white version but obviously tends to get dirty a lot easier.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005MGUTW6/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
http://www.amazon.com/BasalCase-Sam..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1324009258&sr=1-1
The TPU-Cases ones are quite awesome. Very slim but professional, not-quite-soft but not-quite-hard, and well designed. Add to that the fact that TPU-Cases has excellent customer service and their cases are quite cheap (also try to order them direct if you can get free shipping instead of through Amazon), and there really isn't anything bad I can say about them. I have the matte black and the matte smoke, and they both look good on the E4GT.
Some folks have issues with the volume rockers being harder to press, but I actually prefer it that way, and there are a few easy fixes which reportedly work well if you find it problematic.
Just wanted to agree
I bought one and so did my wife. It is kind of an inside joke but I ALWAYS get the argyle one for all my phones. There is a subtle difference in our cases even though it is the same store. Mine doesn't have the power button covered. It is a lot more accessible. I am half tempted to take an exacto knife to the volume rocker.
The rubbery phone cases are a pain to get in and out of your pocket. Same goes for the silicon. The silicon cases easily fall of the phone and fall apart. Those hard but flexible cases really are the best. The do a good amount of protection.
The last thing I would add is on this phone I used a high gloss screen protector instead of Zapp. I like it a lot more. It was cheaper. It does soak up the fingerprints but the screen looks much better than the Zapp.
So, sometimes less is more. Otterbox and Zagg is about 80 bucks. This case and screen protector cost 20. You could get it for 10 on Amazon. I just like to support my local stores.
I got the TPU case from the second link for under 3$ from eBay nd I love it

Ive done business with them in the past with my sgs2. I ordered about 5 different cases and used there matte screen protectors with no issues. I emailed them a month ago to release something for the galaxy note and they came through. Very high quality cases and screen protectors. Will post update once I recieve mine.

That material looks very slippery. Are the sides "grippy?"
I love the headphone jack and micro USB caps to protect it from dust! Might grab a metallic color one!
I want their Steel Bumper series on my Note.
I like to looks of this. Does anyone have this case yet? I know it is silicone but is it more rigid than a regular tpu case?

Any one received the case yet?
***there is no tether included with the Rearth Note case even though it says so****
Dear ericshmerick,
Hi,
I'm really sorry for the confusion. Our design made a mistake on the
detail description. However, this Kit does not have a lanyard with the
package. We are still working on an accessories option so that you can
purchase a lanyard separately. I hope this help. If you have any other
questions feel free to let me know.
Regards
Charlie

So in other words, they advertised to include a 0.5 cent part but will instead offer if later for sale even though it's advertised as included.
Keep it classy rearth. No sale for me (and it was in my cart ready to purchase).
wow, that looks amazing.
I received my case last week. Unlike my great experience with sgs2, I received a damaged retail box and a case with buff marks all over it. Was very unhappy but they are sending me a brand new one now. Will post a short review when I receive the new one.
Like the poster above stated it does not come with a lanyard. Screen protector is pretty good though.
Just a few quick pics. Came in the mail today. Overall has a nice fit to it. The case is quite slick(slippery), yet feels okay in the hands because of the lack of lip around the entire face. It does get smudged quickly and it is noticible. It is a soft silicon type but much more rigid once on and the slickness actually helps the feel of the unit gliding in and out of your pocket.
Around the case basically the button areas are cutout and the sides are half covered by this(bumper part) of the case, hence no lip on the sides.
The top and bottom both have a decent lip to allow faceplanting of the Note. And the Stereo Headphone port and Micro Usb both have plugs to keep the dust away, very nice touch.
The screen protector is also better than the 5pk for $4.00 ebay special, as it has the entire face covered with the exception of the ft cam notch where it is blank in the space right above the cam itself.
In the first pic my I4 with Cleave Aluminum Bumper is shown for size along with the Note with Rearth case.
This case is quite nice. I basically echo everything previously said.
It's kind of a pain to get off if you need to change the battery though, but that goes for most hard cases like this I guess. I already have a screen protector on so I'm not touching the one that came with the case yet.

I just got mine yesterday, and I have to say I am EXTREMELY disappointed in my purchase. I paid $28.00 for a case that is sub-par to the hard shell Nillkin I bought for about $10. The case is slick, shiny, easily smudged, and provides absolutely NO protection to the Note. If there was a single good thing I could say about it, it is the fact that it IS thin. It's like having no case at all. At the very least, they could have made it a matte finish. It's worth about $10.
This is about the 3rd or 4th different brand of case I have tried for my Note.
Save your money.
I agree with yeahmon. This case is expensive!!!
Go get a Nillkin ultra slim hard case instead. Only US$9.99 and comes with a screen protector too. Free shipping.
http://www.obostore.com/Nillkin-Ult...Faceplate-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-p-3357.html
I bought one and measured it. Only about 11mm thick. Great and nice fitting case with good quality material.
More colours at a slightly higher price at US$12.49.
http://www.obostore.com/Nillkin-Shi...Faceplate-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-p-3356.html
US$27.99? I can buy 2 cases and have change left.
There are a lot of nice hard cases in obostore at a really good price. Go take a look guys and gals.
a matte version does exist

I have ordered this case as well but can not yet comment on it's quality, or lack thereof, since it has not yet reached me.
I will certainly comment on that once I have some experience.
They do have a matte finished black case though.
In fact I ordered a matte one, even though I visually prefer the shiny black version (they call it noble black). To avoid exactly the problems you are describing (easily smudged and scratched). As said, I can not comment on this actually being the case and certainly will report back on this.

What case are you comparing it to? The one in ddeath's post?
Compared to that Nillkin case, the Ringke case offers better protection since the bottom has zero protection on the nillkin case. It's not only covered on the Ringke case but the Ringke also has caps for the headphone/usb ports so you don't get lint in them.
Yes, the Nillkin case is cheaper. And I also shouldn't have gotten the shiny case. But from a protection standpoint it's exactly as advertised. I don't understand the dissapointment.
I'll probably use this case as a daily driver and swap it with a thicker, higher protection case for 'heavy days' (trips or whatever).
- Frank
Disregard this post
I bought their case two weeks ago, and I am reasonably happy with it. I bought the one with "matte black" finish, so it was not slippery. Feels pretty solid in hand, actually.
All the cutouts on the case are very precise. The rubber caps help a lot. But as everyone said, the lanyard was missing, so I emailed their support and they sent me a lanyard in a separate mail very shortly. The lanyard looks exactly like what the photo shows, but I don't know how to attach the lanyard, because the case was so tight, I don't see a hole where I can attach the string. If anyone knows, please enlighten me.
Because the case is so slim, I feel its primary purpose is to prevent scratches on the front, side and back in daily use. But I personally would doubt its shock absorption capability when you drop it.
This case is more for people who like to go naked. It adds no extra bulk to the note. And it will protect it from some small drops. It will protect from the housing getting scratched.
Its not for people who need maximum protection but for people who want something that's barely there.
GALAXY NOTE
Hey fellas,
Got my hands on the Rearth Ringke Slim Lite case today, this is a thin snapback shell that protects the back and sides of your S3. Made of a polycarbonate material, it features a matte coating that feels terrific in the hand. Adds a good amount of grip, although it gets a little dirty with fingerprints. I really have nothing bad to say about this case apart from it lacks drop protection, I highly recommend it!
Check out the full review below:
nice video mate keep them coming. looks like a nice cheap case
I bought this case for my S3 and like it quite a bit. Nice review.
Just placed my order for this case. Thanks for the review.
I ordered this case too. Not sure if coupon is still valid but "freeshiping" for free shipping on your order

Nice review man.
My biggest concern with that case is that it doesn't protect the top or bottom of the phone from scratches. It's not meant for drop protection so why not go with a cheap TPU case instead? At least the TPU case would be able to cover the top and bottom of the phone to prevent scratches.

I hear ya, it's all personal preference. I only put these videos out to help others make their decisions, but in the end they have to choose based on what they like. A lot of people would go with a cheap TPU case, but others prefer an ultra-slim case.
Just bought the white one was looking for a thin case.
Love the feel of this case. Mine has fitment issues though. The cutouts on the side just barely clear the buttons and I can see white from the back plate in them. Going to contact Rearth today and see if this is normal.
Edit: Looking closely at their stock pictures, the fitment of the buttons in the cutouts is normal. I feel like they should be moved a millimeter or two towards the face of the phone. Cutouts for camera, flash, and speaker suffer the same issue also. Spare room on bottom and barely clears the item at the top.
i bought one and got it yesterday but i dont like it if someone wants it ill sell it for 10.00 and you pay shipping,let me know.
dang i hit reply and the whole site change,lol
I just got mine yesterday. It is a very sleek case, but not for my tastes. I need something with a little more protection because of work. It is a good case if you are always careful with your phone anyways. I do have to also comment that it is just as slick as the battery cover.
I would love a case like that with a matte white clear finish..
I got one too, and it is slim, which I like, but I just don't like it, but can't figure out why.
great review! I just post a thread talking about this case. I really like how thin it was, but the colors were too attractive to me. Do you ever use the strap included?
I have the black one and love it. Fits perfectly and doesn't add much as far as thickness is concerned.
i bought the alpine white one should be here in a day or so ..... ill give it a whirl :good:
So after seeing pictures of it for a while and finally seeing peoples reviews for the case i finally bought the infinity white case. I already had a couple of ebay cases while i was waiting to get something a little more "premium" so i pulled the trigger on the Neo Hybrid. I received it today and have to say it is not what i expected.I already knew about the buttons being too sensitive and the case being more purple than blue so no surprises there, but being advertised as a tpu case i thought this would fit the phone much more tightly the way every tpu case ive ever bought off of ebay for $2 has felt. the tpu portion of the case was either made too large or from a different kind of material because it feels loose on the phone to me. the bumper that goes around the case is meant to keep the tpu tight to the phone, and perhaps add another layer of protection but it tpu along the front of the screen feels very loose and is even a bit sharp to the touch because of its square shape. this is the case i had been using for the past month and i loved the feel, but not so much the look of it. I actually couldnt decide which color i wanted and bought the orange one as well a couple of days ago and it looks like ill be sending them both back in favor of my $4 ebay case.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-PC-TP...670415?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e6f7fe08f
Just a quick question, did you get the Neo Hybrid Lumi or the Color?
it was the color series with the purple/blue case and white bumper frame, now i have an orange lumi on order and i can only assume it is going to have the same feel to it. way more bummed about how loose the case feels and the way the rim around the screen is really jagged feeling and not rounded at all.
I've got an orange Lumi coming in today, I'll post anything if it disappoints. They looks so damn good in the pictures, especially with the white GS3. I just had to pull the trigger

the case looks nice but be ready not to use it or modify it so the buttons work. I already emailed them and sent pics in. The little bumpers are way to high so it causes the sensitivity to go through the roof
I don't have one yet but I am very disappointed in the colour selection. How can you not have a black/black like all the others before it? The old ones never sagged on me so I personally want a black/black with the good old silicon and polycarbonate frame.
Don't see it happening though.
SGP products suck in terms of "fit", I had an ultra thin air for my SII, the worst case ever, since then I decided not to purchase sgp again.

I ordered their leather pouch because I seriously loved their screen protectors. The pouch was so tight I had to use a razor blade to cut the seams to remove my phone. The pull tab broke off as I was trying to remove my phone with it.
i think theres something to be said for mass producing cases. all the generic ebay tpu cases seem to fit perfect, havent had an issue yet. they all fit nice and snug, cutouts are perfect, the buttons arent as tactile and clicky as more expensive cases but theyre still easy to press
I agree with the OP, I got the neo hybrid lumi in green and I think that this case just feels cheaply made, this is definitely not worth paying $26. My cheap tpu case I got off eBay for 3 bucks is 100 times better than this. The camera cut off holes for this aren't even properly aligned and the case does not fit the phone very well. And also with the issue with the buttons. I highly suggest that no one should buy this case. It's a terrible case and cheaply made and over priced. I'm disappointed with the way this case turned out. I put a bad review on SGPs website to warn other buyers but they would not even post my review. Screw you SGP lol

Hey Angie have you had any other cases for your gs3? If you notice while the case is on the phone the bit that runs around the edge of the screen can be moved very easily. The band is what makes the case stick to the phone and difficult to take off. My dislike is with the actual tpu case. Which is much more flimsy and soft than most tpu cases
no the band is the only thing that fits the phone well, im referring to the bit on tpu that sticks out past the band around the edge of the front glass, if you nudge it at all its very lose and also is very angular and uncomfortable to touch
angie4u said:
that is so weird because i have no issues with the cameras and holes not aligning with the cutouts, as you can see from the pictures. And the fit is very snug. This is my first SGP case purchase so did I just get lucky? I haven't use the Incipio so I cant compare the two but in terms of bulkiness, I don't find this to be bulky at all. it's very thin and sleek. However, if you are looking for something that's very durable, this might not be the case for you.

Yeah I think you did get lucky, because the cut out on mine was not even centered like how it is with yours. The holes on mine came down more to where the camera, lights and speakers are. And in the front, the top part of the tpu covered the silver bezel but hardly covered the bottom part. Close enough to where it looks like the tpu was sagging. I was so pissed that I literally wanted to cover the case in gasoline and burn it for how ****ty, it was lol. I honestly think that the feel of the case just feels so cheap. I have a few other tpu cases I purchased on eBay at a much cheaper price that felt more of a high quality than that piece of crap that sgp made lol. But alas, I returned it back to sgp with an e-mail stating that they did a piss poor job with the case lol.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I guess I'm another of the lucky ones. My cutouts fit perfect, and I have no issues (besides the whole oversensitive buttons issue) but I can relate to the whole "looseness" thing.
As far as TPU cases go, the NeoHyb is definitely not cut to be "tight-fitting" like the some of the other TPU cases I've seen. Without the band, the TPU base IS loose fitting.
With the plastic band though, the entire assembly is tight enough that any attempts to pull it off usually takes the battery cover along with it.
Also, the TPU is more pliable and softer then most other TPU cases I've seen, which makes the "loose" feeling even worse, but I take it it's made that way for better impact absorption.
It's definitely not soft and stretchy like silicone though, which I hate.
So, is the NeoHybrid a perfect case? No. The plastic band is too thin, too slippery. The TPU back is not rough enough. The buttons don't really work without modifications. The TPU rim around the screen, as the OP said, feels "sharp" enough out of the box to be slightly uncomfortable.
Yet, for some God forsaken reason, I like the bloody bugger and I think 20 odd dollars is a fair price for it - considering I've dropped the phone a couple of times already and the case has been doing what it's paid for with aplomb.
YMMV though.
I DO have the Incipio Faxion - another TPU/Polycarb hybrid case I've seen out there - on order though, and plan to do a comparo as soon as it arrives.
Considering I got both at around the same price, it should be an interesting comparison.
I think people are being unreasonable here. This case isn't supposed to be as hard as other TPU cases. That is why there is a polycarbonate hard frame. The whole design philosophy of the Neohybrid is super soft inside with hard shell structural support. I am glad they went for the silicon feel.
The capdase soft jacket feels basically like silicon for anyone going for that type of case. The modello is quite hard by the way. Almost as rigid as a hard snap on shell.

I ordered it straight from SGP when they were doing the pre orders. So I'm pretty sure it's genuine unless they're lying and are just making some fake products. They gave me my money back though so it's all good. I'm pretty sure those cheap imitations probably turned out better than their genuine product lol.
