I really like the way the bumper for the Nokia Lumia 900 looks. Protects the sides and corners of the phone and takes up less space than a full-blown silicon case. It's $20 though through AT&T. Would make a great accent to your phone if you but the black or white Lumia.
I put it on my phone to try it out. Didn't like it like it because it didn't raise the phone up the protect the chrome price around the camera. I opt for a full case in which I like

The bumper is cheaply made and covers the hard keys on the side with rubber. I absolutely hate that.
liked mine
liked mine, it's much better than a case - a case hides too much of the beauty of the phone. I paired my bumper with a full body Zagg protector, so the chrome on the back is fully covered up. The zagg protector also has a nice feel to it.

will probably be doing the same if i get this phone
i originally didn't like that it covered the keys, but i actually find them easier to use with the bumper on, but i do wish it raised the back of the phone up just a little bit to protect the camera strip.

Sorry about the bad pics. Used my old trusty HD7.
I also grabbed the full body Zagg Shield, but haven't installed it yet. Not sure if I will...
It it is the one in store the dry zagg, don't bother. The wet one goes all the way around the sides to the screen. The dry one has an annoying rough texture and only comes a little ways up the sides.

Ditto. Its super thin and feels exactly like the Polly-carbonate that the phone is made of. PLUS it raises the lens off the surface when you have it laying flat.
I'm digging my black gel case. It protects the back of the phone nicely.
Is anyone else having an issue with the top of the gel case not allowing the USB cable to insert fully and make good contact?
Sometimes I have to fiddle with it a bit to make contact and intiate the sync or charge.
i love how you can make the phone stand straight up without it falling since the bottom is flat lol
I have the black Nokia Lumia 900. How does the cyan gel skin look on it? I'm thinking about getting that combo.

I just picked up the black silicone gel skin from the local Sprint store. They have about 4 different cases in stock, aside from this one they have the body glove case, a leather case, and a weird 2-piece plastic snap case 2-pack. Here are my impressions:
1. The fitment is perfect and all cutouts line up perfectly
2. The camera lens is recessed about 1mm from the edge
3. The texture is smooth as opposed to the leathery texture of Sprint Hero silicone skin (and it's thinner than the Hero skin)
4. The edges around the screen recess the screen a little over 1mm so the entire face is protected from a fall onto a flat surface
5. The edges around the screen overlap the screen seams by about .5mm
6. Overall the phone still feels thin and sleek in my opinion
7. As with any silicone skin, it's tough to get in/out of tight pockets

i picked up this skin tonight as well. i wish it was more grippy on the back as its so smooth it seems like it will be slippery. well, i have the skin but no evo until the evening tomorrow

I was installing one on a customer's evo today and that was my main concern. Holding it I felt like I was going to drop it. It just felt too slippery. Personally I prefer our Body Glove case for the Evo. It had an over all better texture and I really like the appearance. Once I can finally take my evo home I will definitely be purchasing that case.
I don't think it's too slippery, but the case is too loose imho. It doesn't fit very snug on the phone. Hopefully with some sunlight/use it will shrink.
No pictures. Come on, this is the 21st century. Lets get some visuals.

I have mine on now and you're right, the back is kind of smooth. I don't know what wizardry they used, but the edges are grippy as hell. I'm happy with that since I don't think I'll ever pick this phone up by only grabbing the back of case and the display on the phone.
Here are two pics of this case. I used my webcam, so I apologize for it looking a bit blue, the bad angle, and the graininess.

My experience w/silicon cases in the past (Belkin ones on an iPod touch) has been the opposite, they either stay exactly the same or they loosen up and get floppier... Those that are multi-color tend to lose some of the dye over time too, around the edges. They do look cooler when they're new tho...
I think I'll get the black one from Sprint and I'll probably order that Amzer Argyle case when it's finally shipping... It's a different kinda rubber, seems stiffer than the silicon stuff but still flexible enough that you just slip the phone into it by stretching it (unlike any of the plastic cases), seems smoother too so it might be popular w/those that dislike the effect of the silicon skins on pockets. From what I've read on the reviews for the same type of case made for other phone models, it's actually a bit translucent and the argyle pattern doesn't stand out as much as it does in the photo. There's a Blackberry Amazon review that describes the material it's made of pretty well.
That Body Glove case might be grippy or rubbery on the back but it's still a plastic frame 2-piece case btw, there's one or two other threads on it. Probably slightly bulkier than the silicon ones.
I got the black one and the raspberry (hot pink) one for my wife. I did notice the case kind of put a small shadow on the front camera picture. I nipped off about 1/8" from it and it works fine now. Hope it doesn't cause it to come out easier now.
I found it interesting that it was HTC branded on the back.

Skin protection
Thanks for the info
Let me start this review just by saying that i love bumper cases. I
have been looking over the internet to find the best bumper case for
our Galaxy s3. I came across this case. Its a STRONG silicone bumper
that completes me in every aspect.
First of all. Its cheap. I think that everyone can try a cheap case
and if they dont like it, they throw it to their dog. (hehehe) Guys,
seriously. this is the best bumper case i have seen over the internet.
Why? It has a nice touch when you are holding your
phone. VERY nice touch. You will want to just hold your phone because
it has a nice feel Second of all: PROTECTION. And i mean it. Front,
back and sides are fully protected.
Front side (screen): the case has a slight bump on the edges so if the
phone drops the floor, its still protected (floor not the road hehe).
Back: Again, the case has a bump on the edges. So if your phone drops
on the back, protected!!! if you want to lay down your phone on a
table: PROTECTED.
Sides: Full protection, which is obvious why: its the case hehe.
Buttons: FULLy accessible button, both power and volume buttons. They
are covered by a soft silicone so there are very easy to press
(compare to the other tpu case i have reviewed)
I dont know if there are more colours available. You must check on
sellers ebay site.
Rating: If this case would be rated its a rock solid 5/5. Believe me
on this. It defenently worths every peny guys. I even compare it with
a TPU bumper case, that i have reviewed last week, amd this is by far
better.
Enjoy the pictures. I tried to take as many as possible.
I will review more bumper cases in the near future so stay tuned.
You can buy this on this link:

if you find this review helpful, hit thanks
Nice review! Around the volume rocker it might need a little work but I've already ordered one of these.. 4$ shipped to Canada and it looks decent.
Thanks for the review!
You will like the case mate, i guarantee you that. Feedback when you get it so everyone knows from you too

Do you guys mean the material of the case degraded? This is all one-piece right? I was JUST shopping for my first bumper case and saw some aluminum ones that snap or screw together, but it seemed like the TPU ones are just a single piece of material and wrap around the edges.
Its a single piece mate. Plus you dont lose any signal plus its a snap in snap out plus its veryyy cheap
How does this fit with a zag shield?
Galaxy S3 Paranoid ROM.
I think that with the zagg shield you will be ok. The case has already a tight fit so its better not to use extra protection underneeth. I dont think you need zagf shield for the back cover because its already protected from the case.

If it is anything like the one for the Galaxy Nexus (and it appears to be the same), there is a hard plastic material used on the rear portions of the bumper, while the piece which surrounds the screen is flexible rubber. With the GN, the two materials separated.

Do you think the the bezel or screen would get damaged if I dropped it from pocket height and it hit the corner on cement? Just wondering if I should still be extra careful when using this bumper.

hmm thats certainly a much more attractive option.
is the back just clear plastic though? why is the upper right one larger, there's a microphone there isnt there?
the only things that put me off getting a case is that a) the device gets bigger and b) it no longer fits into docks etc.
Case is completely clear except for the sides. And great the hole on the top right is bigger because if the Mic. As far as adding bulk, the case not as thick as you might think. I've seen these cases on the iPhone and it looks really good. I like the fact that its clear and the look of the phone is retained. Personally I just use a case when I'm not home or at work.

If you were to accidentally drop the phone while it had one of those Poetic Borderline cases on it, and it landed flat on its back, would the first thing to hit the floor be part of the bumper or part of the phone?

It's anything but clear in the photos that I've seen. On most phones bumpers certainly will protect the phone if it's dropped on its back, but most phones don't have anywhere near as much curvature on the back of the case as the One has - a bumper would have to stick out a long way at the edge in order to protect the middle.
Hellow everyone,
I am really searching to find something good to protect my Htc One but in the same time to not make it double or triple of it;s original size.
I was seeing the Incipio Products Like Feather, Frequency And Carbon Fiber , also the Htc One Original Cases .Plus would be nice to buy these alluminiun cases??? What you would suggest me to buy. By the way along with the case i am planning to buy a screen protector like the Mime Ghost Glass for Htc one.
Your Opinions would be very helpfull.
I bought this case: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-FlipBo...qid=1377379829&sr=8-3&keywords=htc+one+poetic
It's slim and looks good. Doesn't provide a crazy amount of protection but it's enough for me to not worry about it in my pocket or setting it down anywhere, and I like the flipbook style. You can also still use a screen protector with it.

funny, on this link, with the phone in the case, it looks like there are cut-outs for the camera (and the noise cancellation mic), but there is on picture of the entire case without the phone in it, and there appears to be no cutouts for the camera. I would imagine that there ARE cutouts for the camera, no?

Yes, there are two cutouts on the back: one for the camera/flash and another for the mic. You're right though, the pics are misleading. I had seen this case in the wild before I bought it so I knew what I was getting. Also for that price you can't really go wrong.

Just tried a skin and bumper combo. Best compromise between protection and looks IMO. Nothing will top an otterbox for protection, but makes phone very bulky and it overheats too easily when using navigation.

All buttons covered solid, and these covers help to push the Power/Vol buttoms. I can only say, I am totally happy with this case! A bit pricey, but worth every penny.

If your a Nexus 5 purest or naked lover and are slightly concerned going naked even though you like the feel or if you just dont like bulky cases this could be the case for you and its only 3-4 bucks.
It's .3mm thin covers all sides except the small bottom portion and has all the appropriate cutouts along with the sim cut out and is semi transparent however you can not see the Nexus logo through the black one I have (but you probably could if you had the white N5 or a colored version of the case).
This case is probably not all that protective considering its thinness and has very small lay on the table design and it seems to only lift the rear camera lens a very tiny bit from the surface it rests on from what I can tell so all in all it will only really protect from is scratches and maybe small bumps.
As for feeling. It said it was a TPU but idk about that it doesn't feel like it it feels just like thin plastic, almost like those plastic folders from schools or offices, so it's bendable but not like standard TPU because I'm sure you could crease it if it was bent to much. The surface feels smooth but slightly rough (more smooth than rough) so it isnt as grippy as the naked nexus and can be slippery if your hands are dry. The bulk of it is almost non existent becuse it does really feel like there is nothing on the phone at all it feels the exact same size which is awesome for people that like the size of the phone and it fits pretty snug there's no give when gripping or squeezing the phone.
The only issues I would say it has is that the sides can be a little sharp (probably from the mold) and the bottom open section where your finger rests is kinda sharp too and since its not too too tight of a fit there, your finger can snag that section when you pull it away to readjust your phone. Im sure sanding can alleviate those things, but I have yet to try it. Also since its so thin the Volume and Power are pretty much flush with the cutouts for them so it can be a little hard to feel them.
Here are some pics!
*Notes
-I have a Nilkin Tempered glass Screen protector on
-The pictures of the case were taken with the N5
-The pictures of the phone in the case were taken with a galaxy tab (Thats why they suck) lol But its the best I can do!
-Purchase link http://www.ebay.com/itm/0-3mm-Ultra...d=100005&prg=1088&rk=2&rkt=4&sd=261366616351&

oops but dont get snappy I forgot it sorry lol I'll update the post.
Haha awesome, I was on another case buying craze a week or so ago and I ordered these exact cases as well (on Jan 2nd). I'm not a TPU case fan (hardshell all the way), but when I saw .3mm I said screw it, why not? I figured it's basically a skin and not really a case. So it should still appease my "next to nothingness" criteria.
I ordered all of the colors except pink and purple (so like 7 cases :laugh. When I get them I'll do a review with pics as well. I'll add them to your thread or start a new one depending on how long and pic heavy the post ends up being.
Cheers for the initial impressions. :good:

Yea Id call it more a skin aswell but it sounds good to me! Id love to see the other colors and how they look cause I may buy more! haha
So this one has no lip above the screen at all, rather unique for a case. One problem I have with the case lips is they interfere with gesture that use the left/right edge, like moving a shortcut between home screens. Still I would prefer to have lips on top and bottom to protect the screen when I put it upside down.

It does have a lip all around except for the bottom part of the phone. Even with my tempered glass protector there is a very small lip so without it im sure the lip would be more significant.
and there go my efforts to try and control my case addiction...
Bought the white one, why not for not much over £1!

Does it include the screen protector? Or it is sold separately?

Case looks pretty good, does it scratch the corner of the N5 when you remove it like the Ringke slim does?
From your pics it appears the case is not really see through like the ebay pics make it seem, is that right?

Ordered all 10 colors. It's cheap, looks nice, so why not?
Until now I ordered over 30 cases for my N5. Talk about a case buying craze

Nope it shouldn't because its not a hard plastic its more like a thin aslmost flimsy/rigid/semi-stiff plastic.
And yea the black semi transparent doesnt let the Nexus lettering come through but Im sure with the colored ones it may show a bit easier and the white nexus may show better than the black but I'm not to sure.
