Amzer Luxe Argyle Skin Case vs Phantom Skinz Carbon Fiber

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.

Ghost Armor?

Hi,
Just got my Epic and was going to put ghost armor on. Thoughts? Good idea or no?

I put the clear on screen and sides of mine. I didn't do the battery cover. I still use a TPU case and the ghost armor doesn't affect its fit. I did however talk the guy at the mall down on price. He wanted $30 to cover the phone and I got him to do it for $15 and he threw in a micro fiber bag. Anyway I don't see a downside to doing it. The screen protector is crystal clear and has almost no drag. It feels like the bare glass.

I did the full carbon fiber, with a few extra layers for design. The stuff has saved my phone several times, and their screen protectors really are amazing. I decided to try it, as I bought this phone partially for its amazing thin profile, and I found that cases defile it. I recommend it highly.

Skin (not case) for back or sides that improves grip/tack?

I don't like skins as screen protectors but I do like the extra grip/tack that they add,on the other parts of the phone, without the bulk of a true case. Can anyone recommend a skin? I don't mind if it's something where I have to buy a full set that includes screen protection as I'll just save it or give it to my wife.
I've been lucky so far but if my nexus S was any indicator I will at some point drop this sucker if I don't give it a tiny bit more grip.

I have the skinomi carbon skin on my nexus. its not exactly rubberized or anything but it does provide some grip. the texture is crosshatched lines, it stays in my hands without slipping. it also protects from scratches very well. You could probably shop around and find cheaper carbon fiber skins... it was just the cheapest when i bought it. hope this helped. http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechS...KTQ2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325513190&sr=8-1

Ghost Armor carbon fiber hands down

Full screen protector friendly cases?

are there any good slim cases which can accomodate full screen protectors (like the curved crystal or the wet apply sorts), meaning the lip does not go onto the screen. i recently received the zoogue case but to my dismay the lip goes onto the screen and pushed my protector off. so far i only know of the sgp modello which doesnt push the protector up. any other good alternatives?
thanks guys

Seidio Surface also doesn't get with full screen savers.
Now I use TPU case from ebay for 2 bucks, it aligns screen perfectly without going under screen protector.
Also waiting for diztronic tpu which ordered yesterday.

Seidio active does go over the lip, but its not tight at all and doesn't mess with the full protectors.
Ringke slim is another good one.
To the guy above me: the seidio surface, as well as diztronic do not work with full protecotors.. I have all these cases and have tried them with spg curved crystal

Damn...
I don't like Ringke Slim as it doesn't cover whole bezel area.

Could anyone recommend me a case?

There are so many to choose from. I want something that covers all the edges of the glass, not just the sides. It shouldn't add too much bulk and look and feel decent.

spigen slim armor
I got myself spigen neo hybrid. But later on ordered slim armor because it is slimmer, and fits better in my hand. I use it with tempered glass screen protector. After couple falls on concrete not a single mark.

In my opinion neo hybrid adds huge bulk. If you want some protection with less bulk, you should try cruzerlite or diztronic tpu cases. Those are cheap and covers all edges without adding too much bulk. I personally used diztronic matte black with cheap tempered glass a few months but now I'm using LG hardshell cuz I wanted ultra thin case.

I use the spigen tempered glass screen protector with their ultra hybrid case. it fell countless times and not a sinlge mark . i dont like bulk too, and i can tell you that its less bulky than expected. keep this in mind: less bulk = less protection. (from my experience)

I'm a big fan of the slim armor case. I've tried the neo hybrid, the tech21, the sip case superlegerra, and the trident case and the slim armor is my favorite of all. It looks great and stays looking great, no wear after months of use. A little bit of bulk but you stop noticing it after a few minutes.

I use the Spigen Slim Armor. I've dropped my phone at least 5 times onto hard surfaces or concrete and no broken screen yet. My phone was in the car door sill when my wife tried to close it repeatedly and although the case shell has small marks on the edges, the screen is in tact with no damage. For me it's as good as the Otterbox Commuter I had on my previous phones but slimmer.

Spigen Neo Hybrid :good:

I really like my Diiztronic TPU case. Nice and slim, though because it is not clear I have been using a Luvvit Clear Hybrid. the Luvvit is slimmer than the other hybrids and fits more like a pure TPU.

i'll give a +1 to the Diztronic TPU case. very simple and doesnt add any bulk. not going to protect from a hard fall but will keep off the grease and scuffs from everyday use.

Rearth Ringke Fusion !

Google Bumper case for nexus 5 is very nice.
First time when I got a nice usable original case.

Spigen slim armour..not too bulky and protects well...think it was $15 on amazon.
