I love the vibrant cause of it's slimness. but im not sure which is slimmer? the Case mate Barely There cases? or the ones from ebay that look similar? or the SGP ones?
I got this one off ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...547263&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_6529wt_911
Pretty slim if you ask
I'm pretty sure Barely There Cases are the slimmest ones... hence the name lol

does it cover the phone well enough to eliminate the problem of the "death grip"
Here is my review of a case similar to the Case Mate Barely There, except it's only $4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752079
Definitely not as stylish as the mesh case, but I'm more into the incognito look.
yeah, that's the one i ordered too. guess i'll be using that for a while. till the SGP store has theirs out and others have reviewed it. also for the casemate i'll wait for a review lol.

"Death grip"? I can hug my phone to death and it will choke from me crushing it before not making a call.

Only iphone 4 has that problem and Apple claims that all smartphones do. LOL.
I get it only at my house and that's because I only have 2-3 bars here. When I'm in town I have no problems and can't reproduce the problem so its only when the signal is already weak.

Too flashy for me... But that's just me. There's also a detailed review around here somwhere about the premium aluminium case that is pretty similar, only matt black. In my opinion that's a lot better suited
Then again, it's just me. If you're wondering about protection, then I suppose it does offer quite a lot of it
In my experience metal casing never feels comfortable in the hands, at least on mine never did. All those edges starts to hurt your hands in long usage :/

Metal casing can affect signal attenuation. I wouldn't recommend metal.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
That case looks awesome, very sexy with the white, kind of reminds me of Real Madrid. I heard the same about metal cases effecting signal though.
I would still consider it if it was available in black or gunmetal for mine.

I like the look of these bumper cases, but I don't like their size (width/height). I think they don't fit in my pockets.
No way i would put that on my Note its metal connected to the outer polished note metal.. i bet you A month down the road your trim on the note will get damaged...
Hey guys,
So Im fully migrated and with lots of cases to review. Im gonna start the serie with the Cruzerlite androidified. This case is one of my favorite ones (next to the diztronic) Its a perfect match between budget and looks. ITs thin, has the android in the back and gives good protection.
Here it is guys!

i also love this case... fits very snug
i just got mine today, anyone else have the holes slightly off?
Thanks for the video review. The sides look a little flimsy though. I still will probably buy one just because it has Andy the Android on it

No. You just need to fiddle with the case until everything lines up. There's a certain way to put on right.

This.
When i first got mine i thought it didnt quite line up right, but then i figured out how to put it on right.
Dont start with a corner, start at the top or bottom and line up the mic hole. The other end will line itself up.
The fit really is perfect.

exactly, Its all about moving the case, Remember it is a tpu case therefore u can manipulate it a little bit. Dont get me wrong I thought the same thing, however after playing with it a little, it is just user error until placed correctly
Both the Cruzerlite and Amazon say that the cases are for the international version i9100. Can someone confirm if they fit the Tmobile T999? Thanks.

Btw - if you can't stand to look at the splotchy parts on the back of the translucent cruzerlites where it sticks to the phone, I followed another's recommendation by smearing a tiny bit of baby talcum powder inside the case, and it seems to work.
Maybe this is something cruzerlite could do at the factory? Talcum powder is a 1 on the mohs scale of hardness, so it's not an abrasive.

Damn, that's a good idea. I just tossed the cruzerlite to the side and got a speck case. I am going to have to try that. I like switching up cases every couple of weeks.
Pretty nice!
I just got mine today from Amazon.
Initials impressions is that it is quite nice. It fits pretty snug and looks nice on the phone. Especially if you like Andy the android. It is way easier to hold my phone now, especially with the side grips. I much prefer this soft TPU feel than to the hard plastic. There is a nice quality feel to the material.
My only complaint is the same as the users above me mentioned, the splotchy wet look on the back. Easily overcome with the talcum powder suggestion. Thanks zmore! Good looking out :highfive:
Phone is still quite thin after it is on. All in all, good buy, I highly recommend!
Now, back to flashing!

I had the same problem with the cutouts, but you can move it enough to line them up more or less. The cutouts are so big, they do not feel precision cut at all.
I imagine the talc trick would also make the case easier to move on the phone.
Not great with invisible shields as the case can pull up the edges due to the tight fit.
Overall, great for 10 bucks though.

I tried plastidip once, sounded great in theory until you put it in your pocket and it pulls out every piece of lint that was in there.
I would love an aluminum bumper. Hope someone knows of one in the works

Hi,
I have to agree, it's extremely slippy, so bad for me that I have already ordered replacement.

[edit] Call me stupid... I just had my Slim Armour case off and indeed it is *not* an aluminum backplate. I put it on so quickly when I first received it, and it had been outside in my mailbox all day, so it felt cold and with the anodized-look I just assumed aluminum without thinking about it very hard.
I agree with others regarding the slippery-ness of it though... But I really like the look so i'm just being really careful not to drop it when I whip it out of my pocket.

Wish I would have read this post first. I bought that Stomob case. It does look good with the translucent cover but within 6 hours of putting it on I had 3 large scratches across the screen of my brand new OP7 Pro. The hard plastic cover (it isn't glass - likely polycarbonate) grinds into your screen. I'm super bummed and will see if Stomob stands behind their product at all that they claim ensures screen protection.
I've used clamshell cases on other phones for years without ever getting a scratch - this case causes scratches - avoid at all costs.

I take the leather, dab it with olive oil to get it soft and darker and then beat the crap out of it. In a short time you have a nice patina and good grip. The leathers always feel slippery at first but you need to wait it out until that coating comes off. Oil helps to take it away quickly and I like the look after.
ali express or bang good (one of the chinese sites) had note 9 alcantera cases cos I bought one. They are replica obvs.

I was unimpressed no protections at the bottom and it didn't even look or feel like leather but the inside felt like suade. The outside was slippery.
