dunno about the s2 models, but the pictures for the galaxy note looks like it doesnt provide enough corner protection. when you drop a phone, its 90% likely to land on a corner first, so corner protection is important.

Exactly what I was talking about.
Apart from not having a 'Galaxy Note' label it takes forever to arrive to Italy.
Did anybody see something similar in Europe?

sure, will do.

I got the black mesh yesterday. I really like it. Looks good, feels good. Adds about 2mm to total width. I think it covers corners well enough to protect Pretty well, but it does leave the top and bottom and half of each corner exposed. Sure does squelch the accidental hitting of volume and power buttons, which was a major goal. Fits fine into PU "leather" belt case I got.

To my surprise, the bubble case has arrived today...very fast postage, only took about a week
Anyways....here are some pictures and my thoughts about it, comparing to the Nillkin TPU case.
# The black part of the back of the case is actually of hard plastic material, and the grey sides of the case are of TPU. It kind of remind me of the Commuter Series of Otterbox, but instead of being 2 pieces, it's all in one piece. It does feel cheaper than OtterBox though....well...IT IS...
# It fits the phone really well and covers the edges of the screen a bit better than the Nillkin ones.
# I'm not sure if it is because of the hard plastic at the back...but it is actually quite hard to put the case on without feeling that I might somehow scratch the sides of the phone. But if you don't have a habit of taking the case off frequently, it will not be a problem to you. If you do...then...this will definitely cause you some pain.
# I think the dimensions of this case are a bit wider, longer, and thicker than the Nillkin....but NOT that much.
# The unlock and volume buttons are HARDER to press than the Nillkin case
# The glossy back bubble offers great look and also good grip (surprisingly).
All in all...I am very happy with this case...and personally I prefer this one than the Nillkin because of it's cool looks and the mixed of materials of hard plastic and TPU (somehow I think it might provide better protection).
So, anyways...I hope this helps and also hope to hear others opinions soon...
Feel free to ask me any questions if you have any

Here's pics of the black mesh case.

Hi DMax!
Thanks for the wonderful review!!! i am sold over it now!
Just wanted to ask if it really is anti-slip, as the note is thin and big, its quiet slippery now.
and also if the back is glossy, do you think its so "glossy" that its going to show up scratches real soon???
Thanks mate!
EDIT:
Do you think this is the same one -
http://www.obostore.com/hole-hard-plastic-case-skin-faceplate-for-samsung-galaxy-note-p-3926.html
only for US$3.99 with free shipping!
The ebay seller mentions no shipping to India in his listing
EDIT 2:
Bought the white bubble case from Obostore, what the heck, lets see how good this is!: )
Also ordered the Black Mesh case from an eBay seller for US $4.50. hope the quality n fit is good! last time I had a mesh case for my Galaxy S and the rubber coating started peeling off in a months time!!! had to thrown it away as it started looking ugly!

Yeah, its quite grippy....nit sure about scratches....
Wow...3.99 is a very good price...i git mine 9.99 from eBay....im pretty sure they are the same

yep mate, sure sounds a great deal.. as the ebay seller wasn't shipping to India, I started searching other sites for thi, and found it at obostore. I have bought stuff from them before, and they are good.
Will upload pics after I get it. Ordered white here so that if quality isnt good, then can order black from the ebay guy if he agrees to ship here.

Fosmon S-style TPU case

I've never heard of this brand before but I heard lots of good reviews on TPU cases and need something to put my GS3 in when I get it. Was looking to stay away from black but when I seen this picture not only did it convince me to go ahead and get it, but i'm gonna end up getting a black Otterbox as well.

Anyone had any experience with this brands TPU cases before? I will update this thread with my review once I get it installed.
**Update 6.29.12**
I picked up my phone from BB yesterday and took this case with me to protect my phone until my Incipio Sylicrilic Dual Pro arrived...which was at home waiting for me along with my Tagsfordroid NFC tags. The case had a nice feel to it, at least on the shiny parts where it had more grip...the matte area was pretty slick/smooth/slippery. It was my first experience with a TPU case and while it added very little bulk, much like a wetsuit, it was a little difficult to stretch onto the phone. I thought I was going to damage the phone trying to get it on. But after getting it on I liked it for it's intended use, preventing cosmetic damage to the backside of the case and allowing me to set the phone face down without feat of damaging the screen. But my big complaint is that the buttons are very hard to press and you can't even tell when you've done so as you have no audible or tactile feedback upon the press. Because of this, the TPU came off as soon as I got home and noticed my SDP had arrived. I do not recommend this case unless it's just going to be used similarly to the situation I used it for.

generic cases you can get them for a buck on ebay with shipping. have used them on a lg o2x, sgs2, HOX and later today a sgs3. they usually fit really good. had no issues with them.
providing a link to the first case i found on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-5-Colors-...ain_0&var=&hash=item4166b8b83e#ht_4044wt_1018

I've ordered one for every phone I've had this past year they are super thin and have a good grip on the sides
But the white ones get super dirty really fast

I bought one on eBay for 4.59 shipped. I bought clear, but other colors are on ebay as well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/290721298653 Haven't received it yet.. Here is a seller from Ireland with a variety of colors. I might just pick up a blue one.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/FOR-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S3-I9300-HARD-GEL-CASE-COVER-FREE-SCREEN-PROTECTOR-/290720955624?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item43b051bce8

I have the white version on the white galaxy s3 and it looks really good.
Now obviously there are other cases that look better, but none for a couple of euro/dollars/pounds or what have you.

How does it feel in your hand? Does it add alot of bulk? What's the fitment like? Does it attract dust/lint? Does it add any grip? Have you dropped it at all, if so, did it fare well?
via Atrix 2/VictoryROM/XDA app

I love these types of cases. I have had one for every phone I have had over the past year and a half(and I've had a bunch) Case doesnt add too much bulk at all and it feels great in the hand. The side grips are very nice

Don't these fall off easily?

I just bought a couple of TPU case for my S3 as they are my favorite type of case. I have the ones on eBay that have a slightly textured X pattern on the back and a couple identical to the flexishield case on mobilefun. I've found the ones on eBay to be to loose and move around a bit when I'm adjusting the volume or locking/unlocking my phone ect and both of them have a problem with reflecting the color of the case back into the camera lens when using the flash.It makes for some pretty interesting photo effects.
The ones you linked to look good but I would advise against getting a semi transparent color. I'm thinking about getting one in black or white to see me through until Incipio release there NGP case.

Okay, I forgot the mention this before when I posted the images.
While they feel great and look really good.
I noticed NFC doesn't work with cover on, I think this might be the same for most covers and not just this one, but none the less if you use NFC a lot. Keep in mind you need to remove the cover to do so.

TPU cases typically don't fall off. You have to pop them off. They're pretty ideal.

Got my case today, super fast if you ask me considering I placed my order at 11pm on the 6th. Will definitely do business again with these guys. I bought it on Amazon from "SF Planet", they're out of Minnesota and I live in California.
So I checked out the case and the first thing I noticed is how thin it is, will add very little bulk to the phone. It's thick enough to hold it's form but thin enough to be very low profile. The case has shiny and dull areas on it....the shiny areas are very grippy, the dull areas not so much. But since the edges where you would normally hold the phone are knurled and shiny, gripping it should not be a problem. It's also got cutouts for the necessary areas, including both top and bottom mic's. Can't speak on the fitment for obvious reasons but will do so hopefully soon.
So far, so good.

People that buy this case in white, it gets very dirty! Only the left half of the wave design since it's a different surface. (matte vs. gloss).

Do TPU cases provide enough front coverage?
It seems like the Commuter would do better.

if your in london you can buy it from these guys... i bought a case for my SGS1 Year and a bit ago and they were really good than http://www.londonmagicstore.co.uk/Samsung/I9300/S+Line.htm

It certainly would, but considering the commuter wont be shipping until the week after launch I had no choice but to get something. TPU cases will guard against scratches, thats about it.

Had one and returned it. I had the navy with white stripe. Looks really good but buttons are easily pressed by accident because it is a TPU case that covers the buttons. I returned it because of that and because it is expensive. I got a diztronic tpu case for $10 and like it a lot more. Plus the neo hybrid has the colored stripe that is hard plastic and would easily break if dropped.

I have the purple with white (Infinity White) one although the grey with yellow or grey with blue would also look good. I agree, it's a big issue that the buttons are too easy to press, and to be honest, it would've been better if they had just left cutouts for the buttons. I emailed them and this is what they had to say:
Dear Frederick,
Thank you for contacting Spigen.com Customer Service Department.
Hi, my name is Diana from Spigen on Amazon.
We are sorry to hear that you are having an issue with our product. If you wish to return the case to us, we would be glad to issue you a full refund.

So wait until next month before ordering. I'll update this thread when they ship out. If you're just looking for a TPU case, get a Diztronic TPU case from Amazon. They're great and I've been using them since they were still called TPU-Cases (the company name). The owner is a member here on XDA and is a great guy. Personally I've been using the CaseMate Pop! with Kickstand (white) for its protection and also because the phone is really thin so I wanted a slightly thicker case.

Please do, I really like the looks of this case.

i emailled sgp bout the button sensitivity issue and they got back to me promptly. Basically they will issue u a replacement case if u have been sold one that is "faulty". really good service i'd say

I ordered one of these had the button issue. So I shaved the inside of the buttons on the cases works fine. Just curious to see what it's like with the "fixed" version.

Bastard lol. That's the one I wanted but when I ordered it they only had Infinity White. Oh well, still looks good. Yeah, the i9100 case used rubber. Now everyone is using TPU.

I've had it for like a month now. They're shipping me a replacement for the button sensitivity issue.

I purchased one from ebay also, but it did have the button sensitivity issue, sanded it down a little and is working perfectly, now my phone looks and feels like it should. Extremely glad to get my 2 quid case and 1p screen protector off, before anyone else saw it.

Fake Spigen Neo Hybrid Case Review

I wanted to share my experience and a review of a fake Spigen Neo Hybrid case I bought not too long ago. I got the idea from a few people who suggested getting the fake case now that the authentic has been discontinued so if you're still looking for this style and want to know what the price, quantity and shipping times are like keep reading.
The design of the case is obviously its main attraction and I have to give Spigen props for taking design cues from the handset itself and making it smooth, modern and overall aesthetically pleasing. The case itself is composed of a TPU shell with a polycarbonate color band that is interchangeable if you purchase more than one case.
I ordered a total of 3 cases and didn't see any visible manufacturing defects. At one point in the video above I point out that the band bows out a bit near the volume rocker but after closer inspection I noticed the band wasn't sitting flush with the TPU cutout and the problem remedied itself after I pressed it in properly.
I've done some intense gaming as well as normal charging to the phone and haven't noticed any sagging of the TPU on the back. The Volume rocker and Power buttons press in perfectly on all three of my cases which is good to hear considering the manufacturing problems Spigen had with the authentic ones. The quality of the materials used is top notch when compared to other hybrid cases I've used in the past but I can't compare them to the real case because I don't own one.
The case came in a nice packaging and included a decent screen protector but a really crappy microfiber cleaning cloth. I didn't mind to much considering I've got others to fall back on but just wanted to give you a heads up.
I paid $15ish for 3 cases shipped for free from China and they arrived in exactly 12 days even though I placed the order on a Sunday. The merchant included a tracking number and payment was held in escrow until I confirmed the arrival.
If you were as disappointing as I was that Spigen discontinued the Neo Hybrid style case for the Galaxy S3 then you may want to give the fake cases a try. At the dirt cheap price and good build quality it makes for an easy purchase even if you're usually conservative on accessory purchases.
Below some pics I took of the case and packaging.

I have one of them replica neo hybrids and the buttons are really difficult to press. Still looks identical too me as the real one. Build quality is great for the price.

Yeah the build quality is great and the price makes you want to buy one even if your not in the market for one.

is the "made by spigen california" mis spelling visible? or just the 8 MEGA?
i might buy this case anyways because i messaged the seller and he said I could get a grey back with a white bumper - hope he understood that I want to mix and match, but if I get the wrong case at least I have the messages to dispute

Where is this available for 5$?

The words on the color band aren't noticeable unless you're like 6 inches away from it. The grooves aren't deep enough so it doesn't catch much light at all making it hard to see. The MEGR on the other hand is noticeable from about a foot away from your face. The seller seemed really easy to work with. During my chat with him before I placed the order I asked if he could do a blue band with the blue back and he said yes and sure enough you can see it in the video. Didn't look as good as I thought it would in my head but at least he understood what I meant.

Do you have an authentic case or is it a fake as well? Feel free to share the link if you want, I know a few peeps would maybe prefer they not be mispelled.

Fake or so i think. The pakage it came in had errors all over. No authenticy card inside and cheap screen protector. But the case looks identical as the oem, or i think it does.

Sweet! Thanks for the in-depth review. Gonna buy 3 of these babies and try em out. I really love the blue and lime green, not sure what my third colour should be though. Perhaps white?

I've just buy one in blue version for me.. It's a good fake spigen case But real problem for me is power button.. Very hard to press! Volume buttons are good. What can I do for making it softer?

Just recieved my black/green case. All fits great, my only gripe is that the side dont fit quite snug like im use to seeing. You can see it move when pressing the sides. Its a very thin tpu so dont expect much drop protection lol. Other than that its a great case. Would this case replace my zoogue tpu? Hell no! Would i rock it? Hell yes! Looks great. Bought it on ebay from seller nima22. Overall its a great replica case. Great color variances to choose from. Thinking of ordering black/red and black/white for my white gs3. Sorry only have 1 camera at the moment. Here are some pics of the case itself.

Speck Clear GemShell for HTC One - Mini Review

Hi all,
I've been a lurker for many years here on XDA and figured I'd try and contribute for once. Sorry if someone has posted a review on this case in the other threads. I looked around for a bit but didn't find any.
I received my Speck GemShell for my HTC One http://www.speckproducts.com/smartphone-cases/htc/gemshell-for-htc-one.html about 3 days ago. It's a hard plastic case with gel incorporated around it. BTW, for those considering shipping options, mine shipped out from Oklahoma so it reached me in Chicago in a day via the free shipping option (USPS). That being said, here are my impressions so far:
Pros:
- The case still leaves the phones feeling pretty slim (though I still do prefer it nekkid).
- It's clear except for a gel around the front rim, corners, and inputs.
- The gel around the front rim elevates the phone when placing it on its face.
- The gel around the inputs will hopefully prevent wearing/cracking of the hard plastic.
- Seems well sealed enough that I haven't seen any dust or pocket enter the space between the case and phone.
- The speck logo on the back is really well done. It makes it seem like it's a part of the aluminum.
Cons:
- The power button becomes really recessed. Not a deal breaker for me but definitely something to take note of.
- Interacting with the volume buttons requires more effort.
- I'm OCD on keeping fingerprints off my phone/case and the cleaning has left micro-scratches on the case. So far it doesn't interfere with the appearance but we'll see after a longer period of time.​- Wish the gel actually covered the entire sides, top, and bottom for better coverage. Even with the clear plastic, you don't really see the aluminum on the sides, top, and bottom.
So you can see the selling point of this phone is not only that it's a clear case but the gel that they've incorporated into it. I'm a bit sad on the micro-scratches but I'm not convinced there's any other case-based solution that would be cost effective. I've attached pictures of the case below.
Hope this mini-review helps!

Thick, will turn yellow after a couple of weeks unlike other hard clear cases (such as the Spigen) and it's not very clear. Its very visible on the phone and defeats the purpose of it being clear.

and cturetar
It's good to look. Maybe i will have one.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

thats your opinion doe

PillPoppin said:
You sir know your cases. I definitely agree here. It may be "grippy" but this will yellow immediately... for clear cases you have to go with a hard case

And it'll crack at the stress points. Dirt ingress. Real slick.

And you know what they say about opinions.

I just got this case in the mail over the weekend (still waiting on phone) and The case feels rather flimsy on its own and is incredibly thin. I have no doubt it'll protect against scratches, but feels like it'll do nothing for drops. I didn't expect Otterbox protection, but was hoping for some kind of impact absorption. Anyone have any experience with these cases and drops with previous devices?

Actually I went into the Sprint store on Thursday the 18th & purchased the white & silver speck case cor my HTC ONE that I was receiving in the mail the next day on the 19th & liked my case on it because it matches tne phone perfectly & fits it really tight like a body glove. It's hard to put on & hard to take off but I saw the clear gel case by speck o line yesterday morning & wanted that one because it will show my phone all the way around, I just dont want it to loosen up over time but this one I do have by speck is a hard shell case on the outside but a softgray rubber on the inside

I have ordered the black one but it is still in post. Can someone tell me whether it adds any bulk to the phone? I bought a cheap one from ebay till my speck arrived and im completely satisfied with my cheap one and i hope speck is not bulky.

I was completely surprised at how thin the speck is. It's hardly noticeable.

I've had mine for two weeks and it's VERY yellow. I'll post pics when I can. I've had other clear cases before, hard and soft, but never had them turn yellow like this one.

I'm not sure of anyone has mentioned as o didn't read entire post. Leet414 u may try that compound they sell for headlight lenses to get scratches out. May be a stretch but that stuff works.
