Im visiting France (paris), UK(london), and Italy(Rome), next week, can anybody on that part of europe recommend me the best case/cover and screen protector available for the PLAY, so I can grab a set while in there?
Thanks
Otterbox or trident are the best. I think there both american though.

I imported the trident to the UK and it is a very good case. It also includes a decent screen protector. The play is much larger with it on, but it feels well protected.
I considered the otterbox, but went for the trident as it makes the volume buttons more accessible.
Compared to the overs I have seen in the UK, the trident is a much better option. I have a generic cover which I purchased, but that lives in a drawer now.
Thanks guys, Im using a generic Chinese cover too. So I will look for a new cover while on USA. Thanks

So my last phone got damanged due to my job. So I NEED to get a good case and screen protector for this one, its just too nice. I was thinking of going to best buy or the t-mobile store to get the screen and ordering a ballistic case... not too sure though, I would hate having trouble taking in and out of my pocket...

I called so many best buys around me and they told me they stopped carrying Tmobile products. Never looked online hah.
However, one best buy mobile at a mall next to my house was willing to price match magenta day.that's how I got this phone for 50$ flat out with no monthly $20 additional and on classic plan.

THe ballistic case is probably best, I have one and its a bit clunky but its good. Theres no official otterbox for this phone either.

While there is no official otterbox, there is one that fits perfectly with one minor modification

D30 case and zagg is what I have. Dropped my phone twice from about 4-5 feet getting off my truck onto pavement and not a single scratch anywhere and its Slim and lightweight. Of course there is that minor issue with the button pressing.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
Trident Aegis case with SGP Ultra Crystal screen protector is the best combo. The screen protector is easy to apply and you wouldn't notice its even on. The Aegis is one of the best with good protection and great quality materials with options to choose different colors. Ballistic is good as well with a extra bulk for extra protection especially from drops.
Ghost Armor and the Ballistics case.Thats what I use,and it fits right in a Large genuine imitation leather belt clip case I bought from a gas station.
I'd have to say that the D3o case is probably the best cell phone case I've used. The lining of the case is made out of a very protective polymer named after the case, D3o. It's used for military, medial and sports applications.
I was skeptical about the $25 price tag at t-mobile but I was more than pleased when I purchased it. I've dropped the phone on concrete, cement, etc without batting an eye. The material of the case is breathable and dissipates heat very well. Easy to hold with different color options.
Needless to say, the main thing about the case is the shock absorption. Nothing I've ever seen before. Not the best link but here's a demo of what the lining is made out of. You can get it at a t-mobile branch if not, online. As the previous post about D3o mentioned, the buttons are a bit tough to push in at first. I heard that after a while, they become more pliable but I used the "exacto-knife" trick and cut slits (completely invisible) on the top and bottom of the buttons. This makes them a lot easier to manage.

As mentioned above, I'd go with a Ballistic case or the Trident case. I have two D30 cases but stopped using them since my friend's SG2 developed a crack while using that case. They're also very tough to get off without feeling that you're breaking your phone.
I got the trident Aegis.
Will be here soon. The Ballistic case, is nice, but a bit too bulky IMO. And green is my favorite color ^^
Thanks for the screen recommendation. Will look into it.
Has anyone seen any stores in Canada anywhere that sells cases for the a100?
bought Acer brand folio, newer carbon fiber looking version at Bureau En Gros in Quebec, aka Staples rest of provinces. Yet to find the bumper locally, might have to order that online.
I did post photos in a Custom Case (blurex) thread in this section.
I sucked it up and ordered the bumper case. Expensive but fits well and looks good.
I hate leather folio cases, the bumper-type cases are so much better for holding one handed or playing games in landscape. The choices seem to be a cheapo $7 silicone case from Amazon which doesn't fit very well and the overpriced bumper from Acer. I had both, I'll go with the bumper...
It got here in 2 days.

I did the same thing, only i got the carbon fiber portfolio type one. Its pretty nice the only thing i noticed is that the cover wouldnt stay closed very well, i think its just a matter of it getting broke in some.
Can anyone post a link to where they got the ACER BRANDED bumper or leather case? I'm located in Canada so resources are hard to find.
Thanks in advance

How did you make a purchase? Every time I attempt to checkout it tells me the "ZIP Code" is incorrect. I live in Canada so I'm inserting a postal code.
Please tell me how you did this?
I bought TWO of 'em, recently, using this address:
http://us-store.acer.com/product.aspx?prodid=95
There was no problem shipping to Canada with either purchase

I attempted to use the link you provided and it still tells me that my "ZIP CODE" is invalid. I tried entering my POSTAL CODE in XXXXXX, XXX XXX and XXX-XXX formats without success.
I'm gonna try to call them to place the order!
So I called the Acer Store at 1.800.910.2237 and ordered the A100 bumper case.
Thanks for the help everyone.

Loads of threads about that there.
I ordered this one from a Dutch website. I see you are not from the Netherlands, but maybe there will be some similar slip pouches in the area where you live. This on was the cheapest on that website, the other pouches were no slip-pouches and had some special front flippable cover and stuff, but cost almost twice the price.
http://www.pdashop.nl/product/15651...irect)|utmcmd=(none)&__utmv=-&__utmk=79378452
pouches are for iphones
Not gonna use anything.
Just take a moist cloth and wipe it down (might use screencleaner).
Why should I hide this beauty when the body is designed to absorb hits and falls and stay stainless.
No way I use another crappy pouch on my phone.
Is it just me or do you guys also spend AGES looking at case after case?
Basically i dropped my phone S3 on Sunday and cracked the screen, today i got it repaired so i now want a case/cover that protects over the edge front of the phone. But i don't to add massive bulk or for it to look too ugly.
Im thinking of getting the Otterbox commuter or the Ballistic lifestyle smooth, which one you guys think would better suit? or is there an alternate case better?
I know its been asked loads so apologies in advance.
Your not the only one. I'm a flashoholic and a caseoholic lol and very very picky with both.
My favorite sk far is the Incipio NGP. I love it. The lip should be plenty to protect from most drops and it adds very little bulk and gives the phone a really high quality feel. The right balance between slippery for pockets and grip for when your holding it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
My vote goes to the Incipio NGP as well. It is less thick than the GS2 version, but this reduced thickness (0.7mm) makes the phone quite a bit thinner compared to the S2 situation. Feels slick and slides easily out of pockets. Overall one of the best simple TPU cases around, although it is not exactly cheap for just a TPU case.
Naked is best

can't get Incipio NGP over here have to get it sent from the US, i'm going to the US in 2 weeks for 6 weeks so might as well wait till i'm out there as it might take longer than 2 weeks to come.
Do phone shops stock all sorts of cases out there or do you have to order online? would be nice to try before you buy, none of the shops here have anything decent...
These are the only type i've seen in shops here http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/metal-slim-protective-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s3-black-rubber-p35594.htm and that's what ive currently got which did nothing for when mine dropped.

I think most order online. Or at least I do. You'll find a decent selection at most stores but they all have different ones so if you could make it to like an att sprint and Verizon store you should see quite a lot. Online always has a better selection though

not due my upgrade yet, still on s2 but been searching for ages for a case to suit my needs when my s3 comes.
the best I think for me so far is the Acase Superlegerra Pro. looks like exactly what I need.
Hard to choose, right? The Paradox of Choice.
I actually bought too many cases (again) because I couldn't decide. Got various TPU cases from ebay, and Cruzerlite, and the popular hard polycarb Rock case, but finally settled on a so-called hybrid case: the Incipio Silicrylic dualpro, as it provides the best protection, grip, and looks, without adding too much bulk.
(Looking forward to Incipio's future cases for the Nexus 7 too)
I was also in search for a case for more than two weeks. At last I settled for Acase Superlegerra Pro. Lot got good reviews and value for money.
Also providing the same level of protection of a Otterbox commuter.
I have looked at reviews and posts (thanks the_Biz) to finally purchase the Case Mate Tough which is presently being delivered by Amazon. My next step is to select a protective screen which I have not decided but it may be the Ultra Crystal for its 4H hardness and compatibility with all cases. Now I am searching for a couple holsters the horizontal and vertical possibly the Reiko and Active holster respectively but I need to review further for quality and compatibility. When all the above is completed I will order the phone and should not worry about cracking the screen like you had experienced
I got the trident ageis and it works pretty well. I always keep my phone in a case but what did I do I took it out to put on a new screen protector and it slipped out of my hand and landed face down. Luckily there was no damage and I put it right back in!

Living in the UK, the main issue I am finding is that you guys in the US get the best cases!!
Yeah I hear ya, but for the moment I'm going with the otterbox commuter case since I have had good experiences with them
Later on next month I'm a customized case mate
I have 5 cases already. The Neo Hybrid in Infinity White, the silver SGP Ultra Thin, the Glacier Otterbox Commuter, a white/ red silicon/hard case from eBay, and a clear case that I got with the phone. And I'm always on the hunt for a good looking case lol

case
Verizon threw in a free case when I upgraded to the S3 which is brilliant because it covers their logo
Slim I'd say reearth slim takes it over case mate barely there. I have both.
I think the seidio active is awesome although for all the case conversations on xda I never see people talk about it for this phone. Definitely better than the spigen lumi for hybrid cases. Again I have both.
And u can get a kickstand on the active if that's how u roll. I did..
Those are the four have bought so far. Problem? Prob..

I have a Fosmon PC+TPU case and an Otterbox defender. I use my phone all day every day for work and switch my batteries out so I use the Fosmon for everyday work use. It comes off easily and protects the phone from everyday use and is cheap as hell. The clear back is flexible and the grips on the side even more so and hold well so far. You can see through the back if you have white you can see the Samsung S3 logo. The Otterbox is when I finally get the hell out of my house, and it does the job but is a pain in the ass to change batteries compared to the Fosmon. There are plenty of reviews of the Defender so you dont need to hear my 2 cents. I opted to spend more on a beefy case with cheap one for every day, it suites what I need very well and if the Fosmon ats $5.88 lasts 6 months I'll be happy.
Hello All,
First of all i want to say im new to XDA developers site and new in Android phones.
Recently (like 2 weeks ago) i bought my Galaxy Nexus I9250 and i want to protect my phone so i need case and screen protectors( Ebay or Amazon need cheap and good ^^) and battery cuz when my batery is fully charged(100%) im using Wi-Fi and surfing the internet using not so much applications on and the battery finish in 4 hours so if u guys can recommend me on a good battery from ebay amazon i dont mind(the version of the phone is 4.1.1).
Thx for help.
Otterbox
I bought this with my phone when it released back in 2011. I really like it. its on og the best case company: http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Gal...or=20&start=2&cgid=samsung-galaxy-nexus-cases
I prefer the Commuter case too. And it will fit the OEM extended battery w/o the door.
I have the gsm model. As for a screen protector I like the Skinomi drytech protector, I had a ArmorSuit one but it has that rainbow effect, the Skinomi one is clear, but, the one I received was cut to exact fit and you have to be careful when applying it because it will stretch slightly over the edge of the screen. I have a SGP Hybrid case and it is great, I also have an Otterbox Defender case for work, I love it, a little rainbow effect on the screen but it's bearable.

If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to the Otterbox. The Trident Aegis case is the way to go (and they offer color options)... they're down to $12.98 on Amazon.
Favorite case and battery friendly rom
I found this nice case from Nilkin: NILLKIN-PU-Leather-PC-Flip-Wallet-Cover-Case-LG-E960-Nexus-4-LCD-Film
The ROCK flip case is also my favorite but it sold out everywhere I look.
Btw. I am using the latest Paranoid(15 febr) rom and the battery usage very friendly.:
I think Xtreme Guard screen protectors are the best and easiest to install. They usually have coupon codes. I think I bought 3 for less than $5.
