Taurus
Sweet armor
I found the power and volume buttons are improved to help people to press in sweet armor bumper, but taurus gives more alternative colours
Any suggestion???

I am using the Taurus Version, and Yellow. Love it.
The contour of the case and and design, fits like a GLOVE!!

Do these things actually protect well? I feel like the impact would be transferred to the device more so than a TPU/silicone case. Sure they look nice, but I don't feel like they are practical.

When I got it, it was installed by a friend of mine, the in between the case and phone, have a silicone cushion build on the case. The phone do budge or move at all.
I guess the silicone cushion is made for shock absorption.
The Taurus looks nice but damn if they make that sweet one in Gunmetal gray I'm getting it!

Got all sorts of Color!! Including GUN Metal!! Its worth it, I do not feel the extra Weight to it!!
Just want to know, is this taurus case can be fitted with SGP TOugh Case's Silicon Protector? Anyone ever try it?
aren't metal cases really bad for your phone? i heard it heats it up like no other.

Something like Taurus isnt a full case but a bumper.
The battery cover isnt covered by metal, so it wont heat at all.

I meant if Sweet Armor comes in Gunmetal lol! I know Tauras has gunmetal . thanks tho!
Anyone know where you can order the sweet armor one online? I can't seem to find it on google at all, might be using the wrong search codes though but still. I do like the gunmetal taurus one as well.
Also, how do the buttons feel on the taurus once applied?
Hey guys,
I was wondering with the case on, can you still take off the back cover? like sometimes the phone crashes and if you cant then it would suck !!
Looking to purchase a sweet armor one from Gmarket.
http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=216196087
but does this fit a international Samsung Galaxy S2?
that makes sense. i suppose that'll look pretty good
are they really made with metal?
i prefer the yellow one. it looks so cute.
but the blue one looks so cool. just like a robot~~

kinda like that But you shouldnt drop your phone anyway. Its better to break a 20-30$ bumper than a 600$ phone
I have a taurus one at the moment, if I drop it and it break, ill just go with a walnut one. Im using it because it fit with the 3200-3500mA battery. If I could get an otterbox for extended battery I would, but they wont make one

I am finally getting my sgs2 tomorrow and need a recommendation for the best case. I'm looking at the incepio or the d30 or the body glove silver. I am looking for the maximum protection while having the buttons be easily pushable. Bulk is not a factor. Please advise I need to decide by tommorow. Thank you.

I tried the D30 and the Incipio Sillicylic and they se both good cases. The D30 feels good but the damn buttons are too hard too push. The Incipio looks good and protects well but it's a damn lint magnet. I.bought the white Body Glove today at a local Tmobile and I like it alot better than the other two. Looks good, protects well, and the buttons are easy to push. Plus it fits nicely in the Seidio Holster LOL!
thanks lakeshow. I'll stop by tmobile and take a look at white BG.
off topic, I'm also die hard laker fan and its not looking good for us. Odem for nothing and to our rivals? No chris paul, if we don't howard and a good point guard its gonna be a long season.
I got the D30 (Flex Prot.) cover and applied the hack that I found on xda to stick a small piece of paper behind the volume and power buttons and it works perfectly. Without the paper, as everyone has mentioned, it is hard to depress them.
FYI, I bought it on ebay for half the price of T-mobile retail.
I ordered the Trident Aegis today and should have it in several days. I'll take pics and do a little review, etc. Can't weigh in on any others as I currently do not have a case.

If you want the most protection w/o the fear of bulk, get the Ballistic case. My little cousin dropped my phone onto cobblestone in a distance of 4 feet TWICE, and survived both falls with no blemishes to the case either.

im thinking about getting the ballistic case, how much bulk does it add? i also hate the silicone as it attracts dust and it doesnt slide near as well as tpu. any of these problems with yours?
I was going to get the ballistic case, but the corners just seemed so bulbous. So I went with the trident aegis because I am definitely into the protection, but I like the smooth corners. I was not sure if the fact that the corners stick out so much would bother me or not. I can tell you about the trident aegis in a few days. It is in the mail now.
Ok, how do I know authentic TPU cases from the Ebay garbage? Mine is coming in next week, need to order it so it arrives promptly.

D30 Case is awesome. Try a few of the D30 cases if you go in to the T-Mobile store. You'll see that some of them have more ease of pressing the buttons. The first one I had was really hard to press the buttons, I took it in to return it but tried a different one and its like butter
Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I have decided to go with the seidio active case for my first case. I like the fact that it has a kick stand and it looks like it will provide good protection.

Got my wife the white BG, she loves it, I wish I had gotten it for myself instead. I'm using Black TPU...its ok
I got an awesome one from ebay, it's gelly, and matte, it's awesome!
After getting used to the buttons, I love my D30 case
I used to love my white D3O case until it started develop the common cracking issue. no drops,I just take my case off to wash and santitize weekly.
I wish I went with the white BG as it still a lightweight case and no bulk

Which one?
D30 and Body Glove from T-Mobile and several cheap ones from eBay, I decided to try the Trident case.
By far, the best case IMO
http://www.ebay.com/itm/16070978529...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_7793wt_1037
Cheaper price

Looks pretty cool. Might order one
nice.. but is expensive.. will wait for a chinese maker to come up with a replica ;-)
I agree ^ looks quite nice but is a bit too expensive. If a cheaper alternative becomes available, I might just grab one.
This looks to be the best case for the note yet.
How well made is it?
Is it as protective as a casemate or otterbox commuter?
Hell, I might get this case

Curious about this one as well.
I was going to wait for the casemate, but this looks just as good as the other versions of casemate imo. And why wait when your phone could get scratched up? It takes 10 days minimum to ship, so if you guys are on the fence about ordering it, order soon cause the wait is kinda long

Hah. After waiting over a month to get a case that I payed express shipping for, I could care less. I just look forward to getting a case itself.

Don't forget that orders from China can take a long time around new year, and...
any other time of the year
Can the owners comment how much extra thickness does it add to the note?
From the pictures it looks like it will add more thickness than a TPU silicone case.
And how soft are the insides against the phone? No point having a protective cover that leaves a permanent dent on the unit. Thanks in advance
I would advise against the white colour, because over time it will absorb the colour of your jeans/bad etc etc.
The black and Cyan is a good combo, it reminds me of ICS and CyanogenMod. Plus the black will fit nicely with a locked screen + bezel.
I don't think they were specially contructed like the Otterbox (those things take a beating), but it looks quite protective. However its so thick that I wont be getting it as it wont fit in my pockets anymore.
I've already bought the Black&Gray TPU-Silicon case (with kickstand) and I'll post my impressions when I get some "hands on"
just ordered one too, kinda expensive but hopefully its a nice case
I have these on my Nexus 4 and they rock feel and look awesome. Just order them for my HTC one. will report back. Usually about 1 or 2 weeks shipping.

i ordered mine last night, should receive it sometime this week!
is the power button cut out so we can use the IR blaster?
Look for pictures - in short yes the IR is fine.
It does not cover the whole phone. Back and sides. Top has a small notch for headphones trimmed out and bottom is open.
Most of these type of cases will always be that way. I think the POETIC case apparently had this issue.
How do you design a case and knowing all the specs and you forget about the IR ?

aaaand... back on topic.
Nice case! I'm still hunting down the perfect case; meanwhile I've just ordered a cheap transparent case for about £3.
I'm tempted by the Nilkin, but the fact that it doesn't protect the top and bottom is a bit off-putting.
Something like the double-dip hard case would be great for me, but I'm just not keen on the colours they used.
I rather like the look of the Urban Armor Gear cases though. I just wish they had it in this colour.

The sides of the Nillkin are the smooth rubbery coating like you would find on the back of some of HTC's older phones (ie S710). The back is textured with a pattern, so it isn't the same feeling as the sides. I would say it's definitely less slippery than the phone naked.
I had a devilcase for my HTC one and loved it but they aren't making a version for the nexus 5 unfortunately. Anyone know of anything similar for the nexus 5?

I tried plastidip once, sounded great in theory until you put it in your pocket and it pulls out every piece of lint that was in there.

Hi,
I have to agree, it's extremely slippy, so bad for me that I have already ordered replacement.

[edit] Call me stupid... I just had my Slim Armour case off and indeed it is *not* an aluminum backplate. I put it on so quickly when I first received it, and it had been outside in my mailbox all day, so it felt cold and with the anodized-look I just assumed aluminum without thinking about it very hard.
I agree with others regarding the slippery-ness of it though... But I really like the look so i'm just being really careful not to drop it when I whip it out of my pocket.
