There is nearly only 3 types of cases out at the market.
First the hard plastic cases that are coming in 2 parts. There are the glossy ones and the trubberized ones in a wide variety of colors and styles at ebay or Amazon. The quality is OK but not perfect. What I like is the good protection in combination with the acceptable increase of size. The problem is that you nearly can't remove the front part of the case without breaking the very small bars fixing the case to the device. I like the rubberized ones most. They are looking more stable to me than the glossy ones. With the case it's more difficult to slide out the QWERTY keyboard. But it's acceptable. What I like very much is the protection of the on/off button and then loudness buttons. Because without the case I öfter press these keys withooany will.
Then there are the leather cases. There are horizontal and vertical ones. I tried to use the ones for the Samsung Galaxy S2 also, they fit. But of course not together with the hard plastic case together. For that I will try cases made for the HTC Sensation XL. I will share my experiences as soon as I get the cases.
The third category are cases that are blocking the hardware keyboard. That unacceptable for me. I tried rubber cases for the Samsung Galaxy S2 and it worked for one but the fitting is not not really good. The thickness of the device is quite different from most other smartphones.
Hope I could help a little bit and will share my upcoming experiences.
Thanks for checking out the cases, did they the leather/rubber ones block the camera at the back or did it have the correct position for the opening?
The leather ones I tried are for pulling out the device before use.
The rubber one I tried had a big camera hole on the back. But I forgot to check the other connector holes but if I remember correctly some cutting work has to be done. But this is possible with the right tools. Sharp knives and hole cutters for leather/paper.
Best thing is to try the case at a shop. Surely some fits better than others. But I think the Galaxy S2 category is the best you can get. The Galaxy Note ones could be also work, because it's taller but thinner.
The first category cases are made for the device and aren't blocking anything.
I wonder if anyone has tried the one-piece Speck cases yet (can't post links yet, but a Google search for "speck captivate glide" should bring up the page on Speck's site). They look good, but I'm curious if they restrict the sliding mechanism or block the keyboard at all.

Just wanted to share my review, got a hard rubberized case on Amazon from ezbuy123. It's a 2-piece, snap-on. In the past, I've used Otterbox on EVERYTHING, but since they dont have an i927 case out yet, I figured I'd take a chance. The build quality is probably a 3.5/5 - it's hard, it's plastic, it's rubberized, that all is true. The edges of the case around the keyboard area are already starting to get chewed up, and the rubberizing doesnt have any real texture to speak of, I feel like I'm going to drop it when I use it. On the plus side, it isnt a weird neon color, and it doesnt add much bulk or weight to the phone.... All in all, I'd be pressed to give it 4/5 overall, it will definitely be replaced with an Otterbox if they ever decide to make a case for the i927.
Speck Sureslider Case
So I just received the Sureslider case today. I bought it for 24 dollars (from versiomobile before they charged 35 ).
Here's my review on it:
It's a one piece piece that has a hard plastic back with polycarbonate. On the front, it's made up of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer). The TPE gives the case a lip from the screen of the phone. It still slides when you put it on its face but not by much. Only the top part actually clips onto the phone. The back plate just kinda sticks to the phone.. somewhat. There's basically no restriction when you're sliding it, it feels like it's not even there. Regarding the top keys of the qwerty keyboard, it might've moved a nanometer, but not to significant to affect your typing.
Honestly, I don't think the price of $35 is worth it. I'd say it'd be more fair around 13 dollars. It also comes with a one-year warranty, so maybe that's where the high price came from?
The Sureslider case is technically a "one-piece" but when I got it, somehow the connection between the bottom and top part became loose and the top part came out. Needless to say, i thought it was going to be an easy fix. It wasn't . You can't just "slide" it into one piece since there's a hook and a little clip at the bottom to provide stability. After I managed to get the piece together, I went through the packaging, and there was this small instruction slip. It said "If the case becomes separated by mistake, align the two pieces and fit back together."
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
I got the rubberized texture case from ebay (shop4phree*). 5 bucks included shipping. Just to get something on the phone quick before I scractched it. I have to say for being so cheap it has help up surprisingly well. I was going to go for a higher end case at a later time but it's now going on 2 months and I haven't felt the need to switch. The only drawbacks I can see is it interferes with the smoothness of the slide out keyboard (requires a little more finger power to push it up) and the extra bulk it adds makes your top row of keys a little tight when typing(especially with big fingers).Ive dropped my phone a couple of times and it has held intact.
Im a cheap bastard so my $5 case works great for me.
Amzer cases
Well i managed to snap the feelers on my first case (the black rubberized one), so I've moved on to an Amzer case from Amazon. It's a 2-piece, snap-together advertised as "one piece". The build quality is probably a 3/5 - it's hard, it's plastic, it's rubberized on the back half, but the front half is clear hard-poly that looks awful (definitely not at all like what the pic on Amazon makes it look). It doesnt add much bulk or weight to the phone, but it is slightly bulkier than the previous case I reviewed. Hopefully Otterbox will come up with a case for the i927 soon, I'm quickly tiring of these cases...

Haven't tried any of them but their stuff is good.
Body Glove Captivate Glide
I just received the Body Glove two-piece case for the Glide. It's $30 from AT&T, but I got it from All4Cellular for less (it's also on Amazon for even cheaper, which is a bit annoying as it was out of stock when I last looked there). It's pricey, but highly reviewed on AT&T's site.
It looks high-quality (none of that gummy rubber sort of stuff) and fits snugly. A bit too snugly, actually, as it was fairly difficult to get on and (according to other owners) nigh impossible to get off. On the plus side, that means it's not going to just pop off in your pocket.
The case fully covers the back of the phone (except for holes for the camera, flash, microphone, speaker, and buttons), and on the front, it covers the bezel. It doesn't interfere with the sliding at all, though the front cover does stick out enough to potentially cause problems with the top row of physical keyboard keys. That said, the keyboard side of the front cover has a little cutout at the bottom that may alleviate that problem a bit. I haven't noticed any major difficulties typing so far.
As with any two-piece case, there's a gap between the pieces where the phone slides, so it's not going to protect from anything getting between the phone halves. Also, it only comes in one color--a metallic blue sort of look--so if that's not your thing, you're out of luck.
I'd give it four out of five stars, knocking off a star for the difficulty in getting it off, though I'd recommend it for the build quality.
Does anyone know of a otterbox case from another phone that would fit this one for protection? (commuter or defender)
And what about silicone cases? Soft ones I mean..
There's a Case Mate Barely There case now available for the Glide, you can find it on Amazon. Did anyone try it?
Mom is with ATT so she picked the Captivate Glide cuz I have Epic. LoL Basically, she also want a slide-out keyboard.
I ordered this for her on eBay.

One problem, the sellers posted different quality. Some say hard plastic and some say rubberized. I went with a seller that said rubberized with good reviews. $7 with free shipping. I'm waiting on that to arrive and see how it feels
Just a question, since I'm not a native english speaker:
what does 'rubberized' mean? Does the term refer to a hard case with soft grip or to a flexible silicone-like case that you can even bend and it keeps the shape?
Thanks

I got the same one from AT&T.
I agree with your comments. This case is much better quality than the no-name clear ones I've seen elsewhere. It is a pain to install / remove, but I like it tight, lol. I've had cases for other phones where it comes off easy, and they become a pain in the @ss.
They are the most expensive I've seen, but worth the price if it saves your phone from just one concrete ground fall.

Any tips on a decent ebay case?
Just received this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261027269...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
The fit is really tight, camera is somewhat protected (about 0.5mm beneath surface) and extra grip on the sides is good I guess (I was already used to the smooth finish one the phone itself so the grainy surface feel a bit weird). Buttons need a lot more force to push though. Good for some afraid to accidentally activating the phone while in their pocket, but for me it's ruining the usage experience a bit. I probably will get used to it after a couple of days.
Anyway it's really cheap and in my opinion worth a try.
Btw, the one advertised as grey is actually clear with matte clear in the middle.
Thanks, I preffer those that are more flexible though or the snap-on one.
I am using a case similar to this but bought from amazon, I like the idea that the camera lense is protected by 5mm, no scratches and case doesn't get in the way of pics
It adds a bit more bulk to the phone, less likely to slip out your hand as well, buttons are harder to press, no accidental presses while in your pocket, all the cut outs are perfect, which I was very pleased about
Think I payed £1.95 + p&p....I still think I robbed them, seriously under priced for such a well fitted case and all cut outs perfect

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320911143777
The price was £1.49 (I think seller has changed the price) and you get case, screen protector and a stylus.
All the holes line up and it adds a bit of bulk to the phone. The screen protector was not a perfect fit but I seem to be using the stylus more than I thought (it works really well and keeps my finger prints off lol)
cant complain for less than 2 quid.
I can't say enough good things about this case: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Clear-Screen-Protector-Qubits-Accessories/dp/B007V38BF0/ref=pd_cp_ce_1
It's on amazon but I've seen them listed on ebay under different names.
It basically looks just like the pictures and really looks good on the phone. It doesn't add much bulk and does a really good job at protecting everything. The included screen protectors are nice. They scratch easily but they don't show prints as much or have that rainbow effect like harder protectors. There are tons of cases out there for 10x the price but I wouldn't trade them for this one. I wish the pogo pins weren't covered but I'm not sure they would work anyway with the added thickness of the case.

I got myself one of those from ebay. It fits really well and looks decent but the buttons are not molded well. Even the slightest touch and power / volume buttons will activate. Maybe I just got a dud product.
I will try to gouge some plastic away from the bottom where the buttons should fit and it should make the case usable. Not going to send it back because it was so cheap and not worth the hassle.

That doesn't sound like the same case because mine does not have any issues like that. The buttons feel normal; not particularly hard or easy to push.

Like I mentioned mine probably got overlooked by the monkeys in the QA line (if the manufacturers of these cheap cases even have those ).
If you got a perfect case then good for you - it fits the phone perfectly and protects the camera very well.

TOUGH CASE for Samsung Galaxy S3
by Case Mate
(I cant post a link since I dont have 10 posts yet)
I bought it with the phone and Im really glad I did it..
it protects the phone really good (from behind and sides, there is no shield for the front)
it takes a few trys to understand how to put the phone inside, but once you understand its very simple
it doesn't cost much to my opinion and it worth it!
it is also looks very good I think..
Hope you'd like it
Thanks, I'll have to look into that.

Pls tell me how to put this case on, I've got 1 on my SII but as I like to swap the batteries at work (12hr shifts) its a nitemare taking it off & putting it back on again???
Sent from My Omega powered beast, using Xparent ICS
I gotta say, i picked it up as a temporary case and I love this thing.
getting the phone in: put rubber on first, hold phone horizontal and kind of upside down...please volume rockers in first then give power button side a little stretch out on the hard plastic and push in (its not bad at all once you understand the concept)
taking it off: the key for me is place left hand thumb on left hand side of phone, put pointer on top of phone (silicone part) and place middle finger in the speaker hole and push ( I can get it off without almost any struggle at all that way) ....or use left hand thumb on left hand side and left hand pointer in speaker hole while using right hand to pull that corner of the silicone and phone out.
If you think thats a good case, check out the Phantom.

had it before the tough
its too big and bulky, WAY too wide and the micro usb port cover is in general a pita to get to go in right, especially on the fly, and the screen protector portion can't be removed (like the otterbox) and replace with either nothing or a regular screen protector, marks up way to easy not to mention after removing and replacing the screen cover a few times for cleaning, it keeps lifting on the bottom right of my phone and doesn't always register my screen press until i reset the cover.
I prefer to Galaxy S3 Flip Case,it replaces the stock battery door with a new cover which looks identical, but includes a soft front flap that folds over the 4.8-inch display protecting it from scratches.

I dont rly like flip cases... not that comfortable..
If you want to protect the front from scratches there are the nylon screen-protectors.
It works great for me

Sweet Armor
Sweet Armor is a Korean company that produces premium metal cases for mobile phones. Currently, it has produces cases for three popular Android phones, the GS2, GS3 and the GNote.
Sweet Armor Galaxy S3 Titanium Rainbow
Packaging
The packing is not bad at all compare to SGP or other companies. As you can see in the pictures, the case protected by four soft foams inside the box, which I think is very thoughtful, as this is a very expensive case, no one would like it to be damaged during the shipping.
Inside the box, there are 8 Philips screws and a little small Philips screwdriver. The build quality of the screwdriver did surprise me a little while. The screwdriver is well built and it is magnet, which can certainly help your installation of the case, the screws are very small.
There is one thing that may be disappointed- there is no manual inside the box. You may say it is easy to figure out how to install the case but I think it would be nicer if there were a manual inside the box along with a USD72 dollars case.
Built Quality
The built quality of this case is 10 out of 10. The case is very solid and the colouring of the case is very well done. It is definitely one of the best cases in the world with no doubt. The edges are smooth and the cuttings are perfect.
On the case, there are two holes on the left side of the case, which allow you to put a string strap. Although I do not use a string strap, I think these two holes are very nice as some people may want to put a string strap onto a phone and most of the cases/ phones nowadays do not provide this.
Also, there are two button covers at the position of the power button and the volume rockers. These not only help to prevent dust getting into the gap between the phone and the case, but also help to make the buttons easier to access. I have no problem in using the power button and the volume rockers when I using this case. The buttons are sensitive and “clicky”.
This case does add some weight to the phone. However, the weight is very small. You can definitely feel the weight but the weight is acceptable. you would not feel the phone too heavy, in my personally opinion.
I have used a lot of cases in the past, from the cheap Ebay cases to SGP expensive cases but there is no cases that can give me the Sweet Armor case can give me. All the cases that I used in the past kept gave me a very “plastic feeling”. When I tried to hold the phone very tight, I felt like I was going to break the phone. But when I am using the Sweet Armor case, it gives me a totally different feeling of the phone. The case is very solid and when I try to hold the phone very tight, I do not feel any “plastic feeling”. The case gives an extra strength to the phone to against the force from the outside, and this makes me feel the phone more “solid” and steadier when I am holding it.
Although this is a metal bumper, it provides a little lift at the back of the phone, which prevents the back of the phone from scratching. So it does not have the common problem that most of the bumpers in the market have.
For your information, during the time I use this case, there is no reception/NFC problem for me.
However, there are some problems about the case, too. The headphone and the micro USB cut outs of the case are not big enough, so if you are using an expensive pair of earphone like the Westone 4R, TF10 pro, or other head phones, you may need to find a extend 3.5mm cable; if you are using a dock such as the Samsung OEM dock, or the Zen dock, you cannot use the docks when you are using the case unless you uninstall the case. Sweet Armor might needs to make a bigger cut out for these two ports in the next edition of the cases.
Talking about the installation of the case, it is very simple. The case only requires one screw at every corner of the phone (total: 4 screws). However, when you try the swap the SIM card or battery of the phone, you will find the case does not come handy. There is no way for you to do any of the things that I talked above if you forget to bring the screwdriver with you. Therefore, if you are a person who usually swaps your SIM card or change battery, this case may not suit you.
There is one more issue about the case, for the people with small hands, like me. The case will makes the phone wider and taller, so it will make it harder to use the phone with one hand.
Conclusion
Overall, considering the price of this case, I would not say the built quality surprises me, as this is what a $72 case has to have. The case is very solid, very beautiful and stylish, and very thin. It can certainly handle a few drops from a certain height but you cannot expect it can protect your phone from 2 meters height. For normal daily usage, I think this case does its job. And if you are looking for a luxury metal bumper, I think this is one of the cases in the market you should consider.

Will these fit with an extended battery? They look like there's enough room on the back bezel for the extended cover to fit.
Too expensive for a BUMPER, I can't stand bumpers who are twice as expensive as some of the higher end cases with half the protection.

Can somebody please manufacture a high quality leather case for the HTC U11+ ?
I can't find one online. Does it even exist yet?
Please let me know if you find a good leather case for it.
Thank you.
The case should offer enough protection while at the same time supporting the edge sense feature.
I used the included Clear plastic case, AND then purchased a high quality leather case from Piel Frama which has a pull tab.
The IPhone 7 plus case is a perfect fit for the U11+ with the included clear case.
I don't think that there will be many cases for this device as the U12 is 6 months away.

There are 4 small holes on the bottom right of the pouch. This allows for the speaker notification sounds to come through easily when the phone is in the pouch. Very clever. Perfect for this device.
This is one of the many problems with the leather cases on amazon. The product images are clearly fake.

I received it today (1-9) . Cannot find a magnet. So it will not close by itself. Inside there is a glued cover (plastic) Fits, nice. All buttons are accessible and all the microphones are accessible too. Smells like real leather. Nicely wrapped in a box and bubble plastic.

I also got the same a few days ago. https://goo.gl/9t2V3u
It is of a very good qualtity and smells like real leather. The top cover attatch to the bottom with a magnet. If it don't you have to bend the top cover to back and front a few times because the new leather is stiff. After that mine attach to the bottom without any problem.
But, the opening to the volume and power -button is too small for me. You need small fingertips or use your nail to reach them. Its also missing an opening for the led at the top so I can't see it when charging or messages has arrived. Also it is very hard to use the fingerprint scanner if you don't have small fingertips. I have inform the seller/company about this and they will probably fix i in the next batch, they say.
As I said the quality is very good, exept what I have mentioned but maybe a bit overdone. With this case the package feels very thick, with the plastic bed for the phone and quite thick leather on top of that again. Solid, looks very exclusive no doubt, but to mutch I think.

I got a new leather case today. https://goo.gl/ea8Jr4
It feels lighter and not so compact/heavy as the earlier mentioned case.
But this case as the earlier one is missing a hole/opening for the charger/message-LED. It seems that companies who make this leather cases is missing this. The LED is not visible on the phone until it lights up. On the first case I made a hole for it but on this one, if I make one, it will destroy one of the vertial seam.

It is of a very good qualtity and smells like real leather. The top cover attatch to the bottom with a magnet. If it don't you have to bend the top cover to back and front a few times because the new leather is stiff. After that mine attach to the bottom without any problem.

You are right. After a few days of use I noticed there is a magnet. Sorry.
Received my noreve case, I got the synthetic leather one, back only ( there was a discount going on at the time, got it for 29€). Took about 20 days for delivery.
First impression is very positive, on first sight feels like really high quality, the synthetic leather seems to be of a high quality kind, fits perfectly... exept two things, one I knew about, the other one, I could live with.
First is the big cut outs for the squeeze feature, they look kinda ugly and we know that this feature works with most cases anyway... Thats why I got the black case to minimize this cutout...but still, not good.
Second thing is that the back mic cutout is not centered, mind you it doesn’t cover the mic, but just barely.
So in its current state, I wouldn’t buy it again, but having started a mail exchange with them, as it is a handmade on order brand, I think I will be able to place a special order without the cutout and with the mic hole centered correctly...
Will let you know how it goes...
Ok so my last update on the noreve case, I decided to return the one I got, didn't look good with the big cutouts for the squeeze feature...
Also they couldn't accomodate my idea for a case without these cutouts, as it would have been too expensive and too difficult for a one off case...
Back to square one, did not find a really nice case yet...
