I don't know if any of you are familiar with products from Incipio. I have an Incipio NGP case on my zune hd and I love it. Incipio makes products for smartphones and kindles as well. I emailed them and they said they are working on the edge and feather cases for the Evo. Don't know when they will be raft but I think soon. I get my Evo next month and I need a decent case for it without find too much bulk. Are there any cases mage to fit with the extended battery installed?

Although you may get a level 90 or so mage to cast a protection spell over your phone, no cases are available (yet?) that fit the extended battery back. Many have gotten cheap silicone cases and cut them to fit better than nothing- at least you'd have protection around the edges of the phone.
I see that Incipio has just released their feather case for the Evo. If I didn't have the 3500mah battery installed I would pick one up they are nice cases.
Well since I have an 1800mah battery coming to be tested I may take the plunge and pick up one of the feather cases. If so, I will try to take picts and do a review.

Id be very interested to see how it compares to the Casemate barely there. While it fits great, it doesnt come up enough on the sides to protect the screen when laid face down. If the Incipio does, I will buy one. I dont use a screen protector and have never had an issue, but I like that piece of mind. My evo is currently naked.

I have the casemate barely there and I love it, it really feels like there is no case on there at all. I do know what you mean though, it provides ZERO protection for the front. From the pictures the Incipio looks like it wraps around the front. I ordered one earlier today, I'll post a comparison when I get it.
I believe it does wrap around but I am not positive on that. I was kind of hoping that they would release the NGP case for the Evo but they didn't.

Thank you. Im looking forward to the direct comparison. I ended up returning my barely there case, but it really is a good one. My girlfriend kept hers, since she uses a screen protector anyway.

Just posted my comparison here
They offer several different ones, that look decent and aren't too expensive by any means. Just a heads up, for those of you who are looking for a new case. I'm probably going to order the fake leather one and the 'magnet gray' one as well.

The leather one look cheap and tacky to me. These cases are nice but they don't seem to cover enough of the phone for me.
They look like the cheap (construction-wise) snap on cases. For $30, just get the Seidio Innocase. It's way better in my opinion.
Seidio Innocase II Surface - Black, Amazon
Black and other colors, Seidio Online
On Amazon I got it a week ago for $20, so maybe check a few times they drop the price every once in a while I think.
i got the same case that incipio made for $10 over at Fry's electronics

I didn't want this to be a comparison thread. I simply wanted to point out there are alternative cases out there on the market.
I'm really glad you pointed these out. I used to have a Barely There case on my old iPhone and these look pretty similar to that (I really liked it). I've been waiting for a case like this! Since Case Mate doesn't make any for the Atrix, I might get one of these. The colors aren't great, but I hate cases that snap together...
Thanks OP. Just ordered the magnet grey one. Will update when it arrives.

I'm ordering the grey one as soon as I get paid friday! I want overnight shipping, I don't care if I have to pay another 10 bucks to receive it, lol.
Yea.... they are quite nice looking. Not sure if i really wanna give up my TPU case though....
When either of you get yours.... mind posting some more pics? Would like to see what the inside of the case looks like, too.

Sure thing. I should have it tomorrow.
Just ordered the grey one, hopefully it arrives on Monday!
So can someone explain what exactly this case feels like? I don't REALLY get what a "rubberized satin finish" means... In the past I've used the case-mate barely there cases, which I like because they're not squishy or really rubbery and such. This pure gear case looks solid, but it says it's rubberized so I dunno.
And while I'm asking, what exactly is a TPU case (like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-Argyle-High-Gloss-Soft-Gel-Motorola/dp/B004L2L6JM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1304100403&sr=8-6)
Is it similar to the pure gear material?

Just got mine. First impression is this thing is nice! One of the thinnest cases/shells I've ever seen. Just went into our QA dept to use a caliper and it only measures .86mm or .034" thick. The texture feels almost exactly like my old G1 did. Doesn't feel like it's going to be a lint magnet either. The grey color is a bit lighter than I was expecting too but not too light. It fits OVER the existing battery cover and fits nice and snug. No give in any direction at all. Overall I like it it so far.
I'll post pictures tonight when I get home.

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is basically like a mix of a hard shell and a silicon cover. It's quite flexible, although not flimsy like a silicon cover.... and it's durable.... able to withstand quite a bit and still return to it's original shape. Actually recorded a video of me squeezing the crap out of one such TPU case that i got on eBay because of someone in another thread questioning the quality of the eBay cases.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=700ZNRtNEOA
As for "rubberized satin".... i believe it's basically a quite smooth yet soft feel.... not like a silicon, but not quite like a hard rubber case either. Hard to explain, really. If i had to guess, i'd say it might be similar to the Barely There case, but i'm not sure as i've never used either.
Here's some glamor shots of mine.
Hmm.... not too shabby looking. I may just order one.
edit: Just ordered the deep plum colored one. Only did ground shipping, as i didn't really feel like paying the same amount for shipping as i did for the case.... so it may be a little while.
Thanks for all the info guys! I always wondered what all these different types of plastic cases are. Thanks for the pics too, they inspire me to order one! Has anyone gotten the blue? How does it look in real life?

Thanks for providing the link.
I generally like to have multiple cases for my phones. I have bought a couple of cases already without having the phone and would like to know which one you guys think is the best. These are the cases I have bought:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/37056726677...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_4251wt_1219

I havent heard many good things about the popcase that it may not provide enough protection. It looks cool though. I have the toughcase but its a dust magnet for starters and the silicone also gets in the way of my screen protector (zagg) at the corners. I have a diztronic tpu case and i like the fit of it better and its thin enough to not be too noticeable. So far i like it best but im still waiting for something better....like otterbox?
Yes, I can not wait for the otterbox. I also found a case for other phones called Sillicrylic (I think thats how you spell it) and that looks like an awesome case!
i think nude is better!
Hi, before I get my SGN i had a Desire HD with PoP case !
And I was very satisfied with it
Thank you, I just noticed that one of the ebay links is actually 7 cases, which is awesome so I can switch it out. I will let you guys know which one is best when I get them.

I have this one, and for £1.89 I think it is pretty fantastic. Looks and feels great!
Nay to all of the above
Why hide the Google design. If you look at the use of the phone, the corners are the most hit, so a bumper design is the best. the cases in this post like others I've found are thick and bulky for no real benefit.
iPhone is the best example of what we need.
"Can't paste the link as I'm too new but refer to Ebay "iPhone 4S bumper"
We need to push this design before making out pockets bulk up...
GNex Bumper case DIY
I made a simple DIY mod to turn a cheap case into a Bumper case.
Search instructibles.com for 'DIY Bumper Case for Galaxy Nexus' and it will come up.
I would like to keep my phone without a case but the fear of dropping or body wear would get under my skin.
I have a diztronic currently and I'm also ordering some cruzerlite cases.

I have a case obsession as well and have many for the Gnex. My latest is the otterbox commuter, which I really love - though its noteworthy that many people do not like this case. A good one as well is the Trident Agesis - I am waiting for this one to be release at the end of Feb.

Just FYI
**UPDATE**
I know not many of you are into the minimal protection/"Flare" cases, so there's another way you can contribute to Case-mate extending the T989 case lineup. Goto Case-mate's Facebook page and click on the Feedback link on the left column. Search for T989 Cases and vote for it. Obviously, you can see where I'm getting at. If we can get enough votes, it would convince Case-mate to extend the lineup.
If you use the promo code "fblike20". You can get it for $20 shipped.

So I go to the case-mate website, I see casemate selling a cool ass Marvel comics cases for Iphone 4/4s and I search for the t-mo case and I see this crap case! I want a god damn Iron Man Case.
too bad it only comes in the boring black color, otherwise i'd try one.
On the site it does say it comes in metallic silver but its not listed yet. I will be picking that one up when it is released.
looks no different from the incipio feather cases except incipio offers more colors
People were reporting fitting problems with the Incipio case though.
Looks very similar to the diztronic amazon case....
Thanks for the heads up, been wanting another case to keep in my rotation... a pity only black atm

Im very happy with my Incipio case and the fitting is perfect .. But i'll try this one aswell too see the difference.
Dang, how come the T989 has the least cases
Welp, thanks, but I dislike snap on cases. They don't look that great to be honest.
Yeah, I was hoping for a POP! case but it's obvious Case-mate doesn't see much promise in the T989 and wanted to test the waters. Hopefully spreading the word would result in enough purchases for them to release more colors or more cases x(>.<)x

It just looks weird to be honest, dislike the open parts like the top and bottom.
Doesn't really provide protection from drops...
I LOVE the D30 case. It doesn't really add any bulk, I think it makes it more comfortable in my hands and it definitely provides the added protection.
It's either no protection and a naked phone or if I was going to use a case I'd use something that actually provided protection.
Just my .02 cents. We all have different opinions, no hate.

Got an S4 for the wife and she drops phones so she needs a good case. Going through the S4 forum many people liked UAG and from the pics I hated it, but it had a lot of good reviews and many liked it better than the OB Commuter (which she has on her SII).
So I bit the bullet and ordered it from Amazon with Prime shipping, got it yesterday and I am amazed on how it looks and feels. Very jealous that she has this case on her phone now because it really does just fit perfect.
I also ordered a Spigen slim armor for my N5 at the same time and I have it on my phone for a day, it is ok but nothing special. I have been using the official Google case and LG flip case for a while but returned them for quality reasons. The Spigen is not much smaller than how the official Google case fits, I was expecting it to feel slightly smaller. I really cannot find the right case for my N5, I suspect it is because of the shape of our phone.
If UAG makes a case for any other phone you use, I recommend trying them out.

Hello is Nexus 5 black casing available in my market?? at what price
Had UAG on my HTC One and iPhone 5S and it's the best case I've ever used hands down. I'm the guy that gets a new case has it on for a week and takes it off because I can't stand the feel of a case. I had the UAG on my phones for the entire time I had the phones. EXCELLENT quality case.

I have to say that this is how I feel right now with her S4 and the UAG case, the thought had crossed my mind to give her my N5 and I will keep the S4... lol
But seriously, the UAG is freaking awesome, they really got it right with their cases.
Maybe, just maybe they will make one for the N5... (crosses fingers)

The Nexus 5 exists.
Aside from that, focus on talking about the UAG case and not hijacking it!
The UAG looks sweet!
I completely agree, I had a UAG case for my Note 2 and I loved it. I'd get one for the N5 in a heartbeat if it was available.
I either emailed them or used a contact form on their site, can't remember which, a while ago and got no response.
I have to agree. I had it on my s4 and it was the best case I ever used. Stylish yet very sturdy and protective.

UAG makes hands down the best cases. I had one for my iPhone 5 and for my HTC One. I also bought one for every one of my coworkers last year. I wrote a review of the case for the One back before they were so popular and they still have it on the main page of their site. Pretty neat, IMO. I've been nagging them regularly to make a case for both the Moto X and the Nexus 5. Nothing would make me happier to have a UAG for at least one of my phones.
Yeah I agree. I bought the UAG casing for my HTC One and it's hands down the best phone casing that I have used yet. Hope that they release a N5 version too.
I prefer the toughcase, better grip and protection, slightly less bulk. Agree that either is better than the Otterbox, frankly I think Otterbox is getting out Otterboxed by several competitors nowadays. People who like the UAG cases might do well to check out the Dilex, not as good as either in my opinion but pretty close and probably the best case of the type out now. And another that is better than a commuter IMO.
