I want to buy an aluminum case for my galaxy. I have found a few. Here's one that I really like but it takes like a month to get here.

Any suggestions on other aluminum cases that are out there?

Looking around for a case I found this aluminum PDair case
Looks pretty good to me.
Buuut, being a new member, I can't post the link, unfortunately.
Does anyone have any past experience with aluminum cases that they could share?
I'm between this one, the case mate tough case, and that black tpu hybrid case everyone is going crazy about.
I feel secure with my Pdair. No reception problems. I have a thread with a little more detail in accessories.
I was wondering, is rubberized, titanium, or plastic better for the fishbone case?
I was wondering if you guys have any experience with the rubberized/titanium one as all the threads only talk about the one with the hard plastic.
Also, does the hard plastic on the back of the original fishbone scratch easily? Was thinking of either getting black or white version.

This is the site for the rubberized one.
Any opinions on fishbone cases in general would be greatly appreciated too!
Thanks!
I have this case and personally I'm not a big fan. The rubber portion of the case doesn't fit tight on the phone and can move around. I like TPU cases because they're typically pretty slim/light, cheap, fit snug, and they provide good protection against drops. I've used this one on several phones and haven't been disappointed. You can get them for ~$3 on ebay.

I've use the rubberized one for awhile now. After pulling it out of my pocket enough time the case became loose and doesn't work well anymore. I just ordered a fishbone case in hopes that the metal will hold the rubber together better. I'll let you know how it works when I get it.

Was thinking about getting this earlier but then i felt someone else's and didn't like how it felt. Now I'm thinking of getting the diztronic case or maybe a ballistic case. Leaning towards the diztronic though.

Well I got my fishbone case. Come to find out the fishbone is plastic. Other than that I am much happier with this product. The rubber seems to be of better quality and the plastic allows it to slide in and out of my pocket without stretching the rubber.
Anyone know out where to buy good TPU bumpers these days?
Seems like ebay only carries the black one, alibaba sells the cheap white one with the front edges that come off easily.
I sent a message to poetic hoping they will consider making some higher quality bumpers for the Galaxy Nexus..
I saw an aluminum one being sold on amazon for like $12

Better use tpu one, not aluminum. If you drop it couple of times you will need to buy new one aluminum.

Aluminum would most likely protect it more when you drop it.
I really like the look of the aluminum ones but have been hesitant on picking one up fearing it would drastically kill my connectivity,
Does anyone have experience with the aluminum bumpers and noticed any loss of signal ?
Aside from aluminum can any of recommend some other bumpers
Found a plastic and rubber one and tried to order from a site called airyear electronics. Kind of sketchy but I gave it a shot...
They emailed me a few days later to tell me it was out of stock :/
Hey, I'm looking for a bumper case for my One. (I really want to be able to feel the back of my phone - it's so nice.
The ones I've seen have some reviews of scratching the back plate. I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with any that were solid?
Take a look on amazon, a majority of the cool stuff I purchased for my One has been from there.
You could use Sugru (google it).
I've heard that the Aluminum ones are supposed to be pretty good and can protect your sides from impact, however apparently they scratch the metal frame surrounding the OPO.
Hey guys so I was searching on ebay and I can find some "bumpers" in aluminum and such or just silicone case in general. I don't know if the bumper won't add too much to the phone itself. I just want to get rid of the feeling of this horrible original case. It's not for me is there any aluminum cover I can just replace for this one? The ebay ones I'm not sure how they'll work out. Also found a bamboo one but not sure how it will feel tbh. Any recommendations for a new case? Thanks.
