I was browsing eBay and came across this... its a little more $$$ than tpu. Its $26 vs $5ish. But it looks legit. What do you guys think.

ringke stuff looks very nice... i wish they had a kickstand option... i really like my VZW kickstand holster but do not like that the corners are not protected.
I had a Rearth RingKe case on my Nexus S. They're similar to silicone cases but tougher, but weaker than tpu cases so they moved around alot especially if you put the phone in a pocket. Guess that's the trade-off for making them "the slimmest of them all".

Umm, the Ringke Slim isn't the same kind of case as their silicone case. It's like a barely there case with the top and bottom all covered.
I wonder if they fit/make a version that fits the lte extended battery?

Hi,
Our design team made the case to fit both the GSM/LTE version of the Galaxy Nexus phone. They made sure to take into consideration the .5mm difference between those 2 device. Our case will fit these 2 device very snugly.

Do you know if they will fit properly with the extended battery back on the LTE version (adds roughly 1mm to the back over the battery. Camera section is .5mm or less)

Hi,
Thank you for contacting us. At the moment our Galaxy Nexus case is only compatible with the standard battery pack. However, we will forward your suggestion to our R&D team for consideration. Just keep checking back with us for updates.

Thanks KrazyMonkey, that help me out.
Yea I talked to the same guy (the only guy?) and he said the same thing to me. That the case will fit both versions, but not with the extended battery.
Also if you look at the actual pictures, it shows the inward curvature for the standard cover. It appears they would have to make a separate case entirely just for the extended battery cover... which probably wouldn't be very profitable.
I know some people use the standard battery cover with the extended battery. I'd be interested in testing to see if this case would fit in this setup. Or since the case covers the entire back, what about going backless on the battery door?
Rearthe are the only silicon type cases I would ever buy. For some reason they feel really good in the hand.
looks really nice. i might jump on a black one. wish they made a matte version to help with grip instead of the high gloss.
They do make a matte case, and it looks awesome:

perfect. thanks
I liked the Black Matte and the White, personally.
I like my cases to be a different color then the phone itself to prevent people from saying, "wow thats a brick". I try to make it obvious thus not to fool the sheep.
Mmh, would totally sport the white one if it fits the extended.
wish the slim had a kickstand

I already had a comparison poll about cases for galaxy s3. Otterbox defender, Casemate glam and SGP Folio, and i've decided to get SGP folio and try to place an order now. But, I just found another case from sgp website. I bet this case was released for other devices. Has anyone tried this case for your old device? If it's better than folio (http://www.spigen.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-leather-case-folio-series.html), I would get this one because it's made of suede material.

I had Argos for my iPhone 4 and SGS2, I generally liked them quite a bit, but at times, the flap clamp tend to get a little loose, so you have to sort of bend it down a little to get more friction between it and the phone.
does anyone have more pictures of the SGP Argos?
I really like the looks of it in the official picture, but i found this review for the galaxy s2 version where you can see a massive bulk at the bottom. does the s3 version have this too?
(damn, why is it so hard to find a really good looking protection for my new baby )

Has anyone used Argos on the S3? It's easily to be scratched, so be more gentle when using it.

There are a couple with different size batteries. I remembered it was done and I had to Google it myself.
I searched Otterbox Defener, Extended Battery, XDA.
Google works better for searching the forum or that's just my personal preference.
Need a premium case. I plan on using my Note in an executive setting and price really isn't a concern. I love the cases from Portenzo http://shop.portenzo.com, but of course they don't make one for the Note 10.1. Anyone find anything out there similar to this?

I have the Zenus case which is just "ok" in my opinion since I'm a bit more used to real leather cases like those from Caseen. I just ordered a Kraken case from Trident so who knows what I'll do with the Zenus.

That Kraken looks like a tough case, but there doesn't seem to be anything covering the screen. I need something with a flap as it will send a lot of time in my computer bag.

Hello,
Could anyone recommend a great VERY thin (semi-)hard case for the s8+.
As I don't want to make the phone more bulky than it is, I'm really looking for the best thin hard case out there.
I don't want 100% TPU cases, as they do not reflect the wanted quality + they just feel bad in hand.
Ringke fusion I used it on my S6 edge plus and I have it ordered for my S8 plus. It's very slim so it allowed the beauty of the phone come through. It has enough protection for me.

There's a slickdeals listing of some cases. Some are bulky others are not, and all are cheap. Take a look and see if any of these are anything you want:

I really wish they would go back and design a case in line with the Gnex Ringke Slim. That was like the pinnacle of their cases imo, it was the perfect case for me.

Aren't you guys worried about dropping your device in these cases? Don't seem like they offer a lot of protection against drops.

nah, I always run a slim case, usually spigen cause I don't like the rignke design. Out of probably 5-6 years of cases like this and many many phones I've broken one and it was a really stupid situation.

I'll get a more protective case for work, but outside of work I like as minimal as possible. I'm really careful with my devices. Never dropped a phone, so hopefully that will continue.
Thanks a ton, all. Great suggestions! I have yet to decide by EoB, as tomorrow my phone will arrive!
Spigen 100%
Liquid Air
extra thin but great protection
or
Rugged armor
slightly bigger but much bigger protection
I hate thick cases, but i also hate cases that are too thin and useless. I have always been happy with Spigen. You should be able to also find them on Amazon.
After a lot of searching and comparing; I have ordered the Spigen Thin Fit case in black for 14.99 eur including shipment costs.
I would have opted for the coral blue color, but could not find it for a fast belgian delivery (by tomorrow). This case seems to cover all my needs:
Raised edges
Ultra thin
Hard case
Decent quality and grip
The design is quite standard.. but OK for now.

Going for Spigen nano fit.. This is probably the thinnest it can get.
