Hi all,
I just wanted thoughts on these two cases:
Amzer Luxe Argyle
Phantom Skinz
Just wanted to know:
1. Which fits better?
2. Which feels better?
3. Which company has better service/shipping?
I've heard that the amzer fits very well. I like the look of the phantom skinz, but I heard it doesn't cover the phone completely. Is that true?
The Amzer is a case and the Phantom Skinz is a stick on skin.
I have the Phantom Skinz Carbon fiber in white and it does not protect all of the phone. It covers the major areas but not the curved round edges. It also comes with 2 screen protectors.
I also have the phantom skinz white carbon fiber, and just ordered the blue amzer luxe argyle skin case to go over it. I think it'll look pretty cool given that part of the blue skin case is clear(ish). Just so you know about the phantom skinz, think of it as an invisible shield type deal. The way I look at it is this, phantom skinz will protect you from minor scrapes and dings (except on the edges and corners) like if you set it down on concrete and it slid a little. But, Looks great and retains stock feel, the skin case will protect the phone if you actually dropped it on the concrete. Big difference! Its up to you and your needs/ clumsiness.
And a side note, phantom skinz screen protectors are the shiznit! If your gonna get one, its the way to go for sure. It retains more of a glass feel than any other I've tried yet. Great fit too.

Case-Mate "Pop" case or "Tough Case?"(& do they come with a screen protector ?
Simple questions here:
What is the diff b/w a Pop Case and a Tough Case? Will the Pop case protect the Nexus if it falls on the ground as well as the Tough Case?
case-mate always includes a screen protector....is there one included with these cases??
bump...anyone?

They have stopped including the screen protector or at least it was not included with the tough case.
The pop has a less nice 'feel' to it for my tastes, so I would recommend the tough between the two.
I definitely didn't get a screen protector with my tough case but I bought an sgp flex and the edges of the screen protector are nicely covered by the case.

I didn't get a screen protector with my toughcase. I have a Zagg though, but I'm a little annoyed that the silicone part of the toughcase has the tendency to push at the edge of the Zagg at the bottom corners. I guess this is because the Zagg doesn't fit completely from edge to edge. I got it centered as best I could and I consider myself decently skilled at applying these things. Oh and the toughcase silicone is a dust magnet.
Hey fellas,
Got my hands on the new BodyGuardz Armor Carbon Fiber! This is a skin that wraps around the back and sides of your device, adding good scratch protection but virtually no drop protection. It goes down easily and installation was a breeze, so you shouldn't have issues with it. It's a thin skin, so it adds no bulk to your device. The Carbon fiber texture is noticeable, but smooth for the most part, however it isn't grippy. If you're someone that's looking for a skin, or just want to stray away from cases and want something different, this is something to check out.

I bought the Spigen Curved Glass screen protector, and I absolutely love the fit. I have zero bubbles anywhere on my screen and everything is laying flat. However, the case I have keeps making the sides of the screen protector come up. Here is the case I have now (which I freaking love):

Is there anyone else that has this screen protector and can recommend a case that doesn't make the sides of the protector come up?

I use the Spigen curved crystal screen protector also. Here are the cases that I have that work without peeling the edges up:
UAG
Element Eclipse
Spigen Modello - tpu

Thanks for your response! The UAG is nice, but too bulky. The Element Eclipse looks amazing, but I'll pay $65 for a case the same day I win a lottery. As for Spigen, I don't see a Modello for the SGS3, but I don't like any of their cases. I'd get a flip cover case, but the ones I've seen have no protection for the top or bottom of the phone.
I do very much appreciate your feedback, I'm just hoping for a case that I like and that works with this protector.
The Rock Quicksand has been great for me.

FYI, I decided to try the Seidio Surface case, thinking that if I could slide the case on it wouldn't be a problem. Fail. Totally pulls the sides of the protector up. Unless I can find a similar, minimalist case that will work with this screen protector, I'll have to just get a different protector.
A little old, but all the cases in on my crappy blog worked fine with the Curved Glass.
Including all metal bumpers.
Spigen Ultra Thin Air
I'm looking for a matte or soft skin (not case) for the back of the droid mini, like the skinomi techskin (which I haven't tried yet).
Anyone have any recommendations or has used the skinomi and can comment on its feel? I like grippy.

I put the ZAGG invisibleSHIELD on my Xoom (full body coverage) a few years back and I still love it today! It adds a little grip but not very much. Seems very similar to the skinomi techskin.
The Skinomi carbon fiber is extremely grippy, because the fiber texture is stamped into it. It's almost like holding a block of sandpaper. It looks kinda cheesy except from a distance, and I took it off after a few weeks.
I wish they would do a soft rubbery dimpled skin.
My skinomi screen protector fits exactly on the Nexus 5 glass leaving zero margins or gaps to the edge.
Currently using a Rearth ringke slim case with the Nexus. It fits perfectly and doesn't push on my screen protector, but I am looking for something with more drop protection. Noticed all of the TPU or thicker bumper style cases wrap around the edge of screen a bit and will likely bubble or lift my screen protector up.
Anyone found a durable case that is screen protector friendly?

The ringke fusion has the same fit as the slim, but with a bit thicker, all around coverage. I would guess that it doesn't give as much impact protection as tpu cases, but more than the slim.

The Ringke Fusion is very similar to the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. http://i.imgur.com/2869wVa.jpg Shows a side cross section. Looks like it has minimal contact with the edge. I might give one of those a shot.
The official nexus bumper case from Google does not interfere with the screen protector at all. I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid, which bubbles the edge of the screen protector in some areas. Also have a Nilkin case from eBay that bubbles the lower right corner.
The Google bumper is perfect. No interference at all.
I've had the Diztronic tpu case on for a few days now. It's causing no problems with my Spigen PET film screen protector.
