Best Case + Screen Protector

So I thought I'd start a thread about cases. I'm still looking for a case and a screen protector for my phone. So post pics of yours and a review of how you like it!

There are a lot of thread about different cases with pictures and reviews in them already, did you look?

ghost armor ftw

I got the D30 impact protection case from tmobile. spend 25 on it.
as for screen protector i got one off ebay for 1.00 and it works great.

Im using a body glove case from T-mobile ( $30 )
And a ultra tough Screen protecter from Body Guardz ($9 Shipped , I had a coupon, I think its usually $20)

Exactly what I was thinking. I got the Ballistic case and I love it. I also got the SGP ultra oleophobic screen protector (the one for the skyrocket) and I absolutely hate it!
It attracts oil like a magnet, and the smudges make the rainbow effect, even wiping them doesn't clean it; it just moved the smudge around until I do a few passes. I even thought I installed it with the sticky side up, but no, I checked.
Anyway, rant aside, do you have any of these problems with the realook?

so i am torn between getting the ballistic case or waiting for the trident ams kraken
ive never owned either anyone have an opinion of both?
i know ballistic is big and bulky but thats what i need as i drop my phone alot.

Ballistic case and Zagg screen protector love both.

SEXY = Incipio feather case + steinheil ultra crystal screen protector blah blah blah
protection just from scratches and greasy hands
if you drop it....God help you...

I did a bad install the first time, there was lint and the SP was slightly off, I couldn't deal with it so I took it off and applied the 2nd one, and to perfection it's still on here and looks as if it isn't there.

Yes it may be bulky but it is great protection. I let my little cousin play with it, she dropped it not once, but TWICE on cobblestone, and it survived both times, no cosmetic damage on the case either. I'm gonna go back to Seidio as I need it with a holster, tired of pulling in and out of my pocket. If the Seidio holster fits the Ballistic case, I might as well keep the Ballistic on here.

Never ever buy an anti glare, it's horrible.

Definitely! It makes the white background so grainy and takes away from the beauty of the AMOLED screen.

Best Skins Ever are - The Best!
I just received this and applied it. 24 hours later, there are no bubbles and the view quality is perfect! One of the (many) things I appreciate about my SGS2 is its thinness. My thinking was why get a case that only takes away from that svelt feel? While it may not protect well against a drop of 6+ feet, I pay for monthly insurance for that - I know it won't get scratched up. I think it actually makes the phone better to grip with it on as well! You can't beat the price either at either $6.99 for the screen only, or $8.99 for the entire device. Highly recommended!!!

I was gonna get the ballistics case but I was worried that the corners are too bulbous. Any opinions?

I'm getting the D30 case for Christmas. Will report back with a review after Christmas.

Realook Screen Protector + Diztronic Black Matte Case = Smexy.

Case-Mate "Pop" case or "Tough Case?"(& do they come with a screen protector ?

Case-Mate "Pop" case or "Tough Case?"(& do they come with a screen protector ?
Simple questions here:
What is the diff b/w a Pop Case and a Tough Case? Will the Pop case protect the Nexus if it falls on the ground as well as the Tough Case?
case-mate always includes a screen protector....is there one included with these cases??

bump...anyone?

They have stopped including the screen protector or at least it was not included with the tough case.
The pop has a less nice 'feel' to it for my tastes, so I would recommend the tough between the two.

I definitely didn't get a screen protector with my tough case but I bought an sgp flex and the edges of the screen protector are nicely covered by the case.

I didn't get a screen protector with my toughcase. I have a Zagg though, but I'm a little annoyed that the silicone part of the toughcase has the tendency to push at the edge of the Zagg at the bottom corners. I guess this is because the Zagg doesn't fit completely from edge to edge. I got it centered as best I could and I consider myself decently skilled at applying these things. Oh and the toughcase silicone is a dust magnet.

[Q] Screen protector vs. case

Just bought a GN and I've never used a screen protector before for my previous phones, only cases. What would you recommend based on your own experience?
I'm leaning toward screen protector because I don't want to have a clunky, huge abomination of a phone, but then again, I don't want to lose the glassy feeling of a naked screen...recommendations please? Thanks.

I use the regular Verizon ones. Work great, do the job just fine.

Also, I use a speck case which has a thin profile and still protects very well.

i use a zagg screen protector and a cruzerlite tpu case, feels good in the hands n fingers

Better safe than sorry.
Check out the cruzerlite androidified a2 cases on amazon. They protect, they're cool, cheap and highly rated. There's a buy 2 get 1 free deal.
I also advise a screen protector because the galaxy nexus has no gorilla glass. People seem to like XO Skins because there is no "orange peel effect", it looks true to the screen, and it can heal itself if scratched. Of course, you will lose the glass feel(some say that xo skin has a slightly rubbery feel) but it's a small price to pay for a $400+ investment. Don't get the case fit because it doesn't cover the entire screen.

I've never really used screen protectors on any of my phones either and they still look like new. On my GNex, I only use a case. I just wipe the screen with a soft cloth once in a while to get fingerprints off.

I dont use a screen protector but somehow my screen has a scratch on it now about an inch long. Idk how it happened and have never scratched any other screens so i think a protector would be a worthy investment since the screen isnt gorilla glass. I sometimes put on a case (default verizon, really nice actually not too big) when i go out but just as often I leave it off because its so nice naked.

I have total body skin from Bestskinsever. From time to time I use my SGP ultra capsule, Mercury and Diztronic r3 with it.

Where is the scratch located?

I just use a screen protector I got from Verizon. They waived my $30 upgrade fee if I bought it so I'm happy Case wise, I just bought a Cruzer Lite Androidified A2 High Gloss TPU Soft Gel Skin Case in green and it's shipping in tomorrow. I'm excited.

To be honest I prefer having a screen protector than a case..I've looked at the otter box and while it looks great it does add considerable bulk and they are pricey...in the other hand screen protectors are lightweight and inexpensive if you know which one to get. You can pick a
GEARMAXX screen protector for cheap...They sell on ebay and are high quality, lightweight and durable!

Case/Screen Protector

Just got my new S3 it is awesome! Upgraded from a Dinc2 which was a great resilient phone but such a step up with the S3.
Wondering if people are buying cases for the S3, if so which ones? also screen protectors, i know it has gorilla glass but so did the Dinc2 and i still got scratches on that screen. What do you guys think? any horror stories?

I have a diztronic tpu case and a body Glove tpu case. I'm currently rocking the body Glove tpu case with a Reearth screen protector. Best combo I've seen for this phone. Don't get the wet application screen protectors, I've tried 2 and neither work well with the tpu cases for this phone.

Noticed a couple hair line scratches on the screen after a couple days. Went and bought an otterbox. All is well.

Got an Otterbox Commuter case that came with a screen protector. Two layers (one soft rubber inside and one hard plastic over) make for a very protected S3

how much does the otterbox add to the thickness? I like the idea of military grade protection but i really like how sleek the s3 is

It does add thickness, I just measured and if you take your micro USB charger and place the micro USB end on top of the USB end, it's that thick.

you would be much better off reading this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1670

Case and Screen Protector

My Samsung Epic 4g took a turn for the worst as I dropped it, the screen shattered among other things, so I'm moving on to the Epic 4G touch.
I have a set list of what I plan to buy for the phone, as of reviews and such.
Case:
TPU-Case
Screen Protector:
SPG Stenheil Ultra Crystal
I can't seem to find anywhere where to buy this screen protector, I know Steinheil ultra crystal was the way to go back for my original epic, unless anyone has other suggestions, know where I can buy it?
I'm planning on using a thin and durable case for it, I was thinking of a slim extended battery (To not add bulk to the phone) but I'm not sure how much that'd be worth it.
Also, what is everyone else using? How are they working out?
I plan on eventually developing with this phone but this time I'm getting protection instead of using a bare naked Epic 4g to begin with

I've got the Trident Aegis case for this phone as it's one of the slimmer silicon / hard case hybrids and the blue one was on sale for $15 on Amazon (the black, green and red ones were $20 ish, and the camo ones were over $30 for some reason). It adds a bit of bulk but the way the silicon sticks out the middle of the back actually helps give better grip on the phone so even though its bigger, its easier to use one handed than the bare phone (I have small hands and it was hard to reach the upper left corner with my thumb while holding the phone in my right hand). The plastic portion has a nice texture (not glossy) and overall is a nice case. All four corners have exposed silicon for shock absorption.
I wasn't a big fan of the cheap clear screen protector that came with it, so I ordered some anti-glare protectors (also cheap). Many people don't like them as they detract from the sharpness of the display, but I think the protection, smooth feel (no sticking as you try to swipe, etc), anti-glare, and anti-fingerprint properties are well worth it.
Edit: I'll be able to review the fitment of a basic TPU case as well next week as my wife just ordered one.

I think these are what you're looking for:
http://www.amazon.com/SGP-Samsung-G...59197&sr=8-1&keywords=epic+4g+touch+steinheil
http://www.amazon.com/SGP-Samsung-Protector-Steinheil-Oleophobic/dp/B005O4W3PM/ref=pd_sim_cps_4
I'm using the USA-Gear Impact case on Amazon with the kickstand. Kickstand is awesome, case is not too sturdy but it's strong enough for light drops, etc.
I'm not using the Steinheil (13 bucks for a screen protector?) because even though it's probably amazing it's too overpriced imo... I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/GreatShield-S...r=8-2&keywords=epic+4g+touch+screen+protector and it's been fine for me so far
As for anti-glare ones (matte), I liked them at first, but after a while I did notice the quality of the display to be hindered by the anti-glare. It's a matter of preference; matte protectors do offer some decent anti-fingerprint tech

I have 2 tpu cases, a Trident Aegis and a Casemate tough. The Casemate is by far my favorite case. It offers good protection while being compact and lightweight. Also has a nice texture. And yes Steinheil is the best screen protector. I have tried multiple dry and wet application and was never happy. I got mine on ebay same with case.

I have a friend with one of the clear tpu cases for his att Galaxy S2, it seemed somewhat of a good quality case especially for the price.
I plan on getting the white epic 4g touch and the Ultra Clear by SGP as I feel as if it'll keep the originality of the phone the most.

I have the ultra crystal.. it attracts a lot of fingerprints.. looks phenomenal once you wipe off the fingerprints though

I gave my son my old e4gt. I bought him a trident kracken. Its a really nice case and comes with a nice screen protector
