I actualy bought that for my desire hd, and wish i had not, they are not that good you can see inperfections, that when you look at them apear like a crack.
Im prety sure this is becuase they are so cheap and sold via fleabay, if you was to find/purchase one elsewhere a more well known make then im prety sure you would not see these. but that is my opion of those.

yeah i rather buy a clear TPU gel case, actually i bought and recieved 2 from dealextreme.
the hard cases always break and pretty quick too

That case I gave a link to, I have. I can say its one of the best cases ever! No cracks or breaks and it protects the phone almost 100%! Its two pieces that dont actually attach to the phone at all, the two halves of the case snap together securly.
This type of plastic case however:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-CRYSTAL-CLE..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3cb3fdd80c
Is absolute bollox! It does attach itself to the phone and cracks within about 3 days...PANTS!
I bough this case in the end, its got a hard part on the back:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380332737615&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Im just gonna wait till they release a clear hard case that I think will be up to the job

got the same case with the stand on monday and i must say it's built pretty good, but i can't really test it out since i haven't got my phone yet. but the stand isn't flimsy as i initially thought

Agreed, its a pretty decent case. I reckon ill actually use the stand a lot

Just got this case, surprised at the high quality of the build! The case is a perfect fit and the kickstand is very useful.

Super Slim Cases

Just stumbled accross this over at Amazon/Play.
Imperial Hard Case Super Slim Black
Looks like a decent enough case, protects the back mainly, and looks very thin

http://www.italkonline.co.uk/imperial-hard-case-super-slim-black-samsung-i9100-galaxy-p-18107.html
STK Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 TPU Case / Black
Not sure about this one, resembles the Neo Hybrid in a way, just doesn't have sperate layers.
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/23551468/-/Product.html

Think im gunna take a gamble on the Italk one. Thin around the back, has holes in all the correct places. Looks like ir protects the phone when its turned over.
For £4.96 you can't go wrong really!

It's hard to tell from the photos whether it really does protect the front of the phone (when you place it face down). I'd be interested in what you find!

Yeah, i know what you mean. To be fair. I nver plce my phone screen way down anyway!

Came this morning, Looks promising.
Will upload pics etc in few hours

First impressions are its very nice and slim!
Cant hardly tell its there!
Pros
Slim
Feels nice
Doesn't look cheap
Gives sight screen potection (I mean slight, 1mm tops)
Cons
Doesn't give much protection to Camera
Buttons on side could irritate some people.
To be fair, i wanted a slim case, which this is. I dont intend to launch my phone around, i always place it down back first.
Ill try and add some pics of the phone in the case soon.

Shots of the phone in the case.
I apologise in advance, The worst digital camera i've ever seen used in my life!
Gives you a rough idea, if your sat here now thinking, should I, Shouldn't I buy one. Go ahead and do it! You won't be dissapointed for £4.95

Also available on eBay for about £3

Feels rather weird having this case on, been use to thickness and the lip over on the Neo Hybrid!

How's the grip with this case?

Yeah, its alright, feels nice in the hand.
Honestly its a really nice case for £4.95, or £3 on ebay.
You wont be dissapointed!

Do you have the link to the ebay one?

Do you think the phone would fit in a desktop dock with this case fitted?

Aluminum Bumper Mini-Review

Got my silver aluminum bumper from AliExpress today and it looks great for the price. When I came back from lunch with my boss, this thing was waiting for me in my mail box. It was extremely well packaged from China and you can tell the package was beat up in it's week's journey. Shipping to me in TX from China only took a week and that is extremely fast for me. I was expecting a two week delivery time.
To the case: To quell any questions on call quality; I have placed one call with the bumper on since I installed it. And it works. No noticeable drops that I can initially tell. I'll update if anything changes.
My bumper came with a generic N5 screen protector, which I will not use, because I already have a spigen one installed. I proceeded in taking the included bag which had a philips type of screw driver and upon further inspection, the bag also have a few spare screws, which is always welcomed IMO.
I removed my tpu bumper and slapped this one on immediately. I first came across the bumper looking like it may not fit due to my dbrand cf skin. Being a bit thick, I was a bit worried. But with a little more wrapping the case closer to the outer bezel, the screw openings aligned up better than before. The reason is because of the little foam pads on the interior. Once you work it down a bit, you should be able to screw in the teeeny tiny screws with the included screwdriver.
Will it work on my orb charger? Yes! It holds up as I thought it would.
Does the little screw tab that reminds me of Florida really bad looking? No, when looking at the phone at its entirety, I honestly can say, I like it.
Does it protect the back camera? Uhhhh that's a no. There are ridges on the bottom of the micro USB port and where the headphone port is, but it is not enough to keep the camera lens to sit on the table. This will detract quite a few people. But keep in mind, this is a MINIMALIST case, not a Seidio or Otterbox or whatever bomb proof case that's out there now lol. All the openings are nice and big, except for the headphone port. If you have anything like a Shure E215 plug, you will need to use an adapter to extend the port or use another headset/headphone all together. Another issue, I kinda dislike is the opening for the power button. You have to really search for the button because of it being a cut out compared to buttons on top. I just got to get used to that feeling.
However saying that, I am 100% comfortable placing my phone flat down because I have a dbrand carbon fiber skin on my Nexus 5 backside.
Another bonus is that this aluminum bumper fits in my Seidio Dilex Holster for the Nexus 5 without any issue. The little tab on the bottom plays nice and I am one happy camper. :highfive:
Do I recommend this? For now I say yes aesthetic wise. Everything seems to work thus far so I really don't have anything too bad to say about it.
Pros:
It's thin
Aluminum color is sleek and sexy with my cf white dbrands skin
Ok with wireless charging orb (will test out Tylt Vu later on as well as the Nexus Wireless charger in my truck)
Cons:
It's thin
This bumper will not protect the camera lens when laying it on it's backside.
The lil "Florida" tab where the screws are. Even though not a dealbreaker for me, it's still a slight 'con' in my book.
Pics below. Please let me know if you have any questions. I'll field them if I am not working

Thanks for the review, I will probably buy one. Does it seem like the metal would be able to scratch the screen where or makes contact?

Have you used it on the Nexus Wireless Charger yet? I currently have a TPU case but just bought the new charger but noticed the case was too thick for the magnets so I'm looking at getting a bumper like this.

wow that looks awesome

Could you take a photo of the hole for the headphone jack when the case is on the Nexus 5 or measure the diameter of the hole?

No it doesn't seem to scratch or do anything to the screen. I have a Spigen protector on it and the bumper did not peel it up. I was more worried about the dbrand backing.

Yes I have used the Nexus wireless charger. I have it installed in my truck in conjunction of a Kenu Airframe that mounts to the vents. It clears Kenu Airframe so that the magnets can catch without much issue. And bumpy Texas roads and highways are no match thus far. But don't go off roading lol.

Not too good with measurements with that size, I'll try lol. To me and my ruler, it looks like 6mm? I'll attach a pic.

Reporting on a half day of full use of the Aluminum bumper. I really do like the look of it and fits in my Seidio Dilex holster securely. However, I have to report in that if one has a dbrands back like me, I have a white carbon fiber back, it may bubble up a bit depending on how you put on your back and if you used a blow dryer on the edges like dbrand suggested. I did do that, but I did find a slight bubble/rise on the corner where the screws go in. Also, you can see that the bumper does not fully wrap around like a tpu would because, this is really not that flexible. I'll post some pics and hopefully you can see what my OCD eyes can see. As for the lil bubble, I'll need to do a follow up blow dryer event when I go home for lunch and see if that makes it go away or not. Not really all concerned with the bubble, I can hardly see it and I can learn to live with it if it doesn't go away lol.

looks great!! but in the back is a bit to thin imho

I agree, but I am ok with it. I mean if it was naked it would have the same issue. However the dbrand back is protecting it from scratches so I am ok with that.Drop protection, I don't know, even though the box does mention drop protection on corners lol.

Can you comment on your cellular connection with it on.
Have you done any speed tests with and without it.
I mentioned in another thread that I had one on an iPhone and it did not do well, but the iPhone antenna is around the device, different than the Nex 5.

No I haven't done speedtests on it. But I am getting full bars LTE right outside my office, which is pretty much on par with what I normally get. I have to admit, I do think it affects the antenna slightly, but not to the point of dropped calls. However, I do not have anything to back up this theory.
I'll report back later on to see if my wife said she called me and I didn't answer or what have you.

can you do a signal test w/o case and w/ case?
(Settings, About Phone, Status, Signal strength)
Thanks!!

Because you asked and I don't feel like working on my next project right now lol...
Without the bumper on, the phone went to lowest LTE at -112dBm
With bumper on, the phone went to H and jumps here and there, but didn't stick and settled on 3g (or UMTS) at -101dBm.
So my initial feelings are correct that it does hinder reception but I am still connected. Well in the office anyway. But I used my phone at lunch with co workers without issue. I was getting emails and notifications while I was out.

unfortunately, I barely get signal in my office so I can't really get this :/ I wish there was a good looking bumper that has same look/feel as this one but made of a different material that would not jeopardize the signal quality.

No not so much, but after my first Seidio Holster broke, I have been running it naked and got used to its slim design. This was minimal bulk that still showed off the back dbrand skin goodness and also helps with any corner bumps. Which I have to say it did do its job the other day when I knocked it off my charger in my truck.

Poetic Affinity Case Review

Got my Poetic Affinity Case in today and figured I'd write a quick review. These poetic cases are very similar to UAG in looks and design but for 1/3 of the price. They are single peice hard poly carbonate and very ridged. Overall a nice design with a clear back to show off the beauty of your aluminum backed phone, offer a nice lip around screen for medium drop protection. My only issue is that the buttons are a little stiff but I suspect they will break in over time. I'm satisfied with my purchase and feel like it was a really good deal at around $10. It plays well with my spigen crystal screen protector and offers a good grip and feel in hand. If you guys have any questions feel free to ask. Sorry for the quality of the pics all I has was an s3 to take them.

how is the grip on it?
I had the Spigen Bumper Premium and it was still too slick for me..
Right now i have this case.. Zizo armor.. Super grippy.. but had to modify the power opening.. plus it squares off the phone and doesn't really show the HTC Beauty..

i got a Poetic Affinity case, it's a PIA to take it off if you want to, after the second time i took it off never put it on again, using Orzly FlexiCase now

in all honesty the case looks and feels good, great grip, my 2 issues with it was the taking it off because its harder "plastic", and the other issue was that the case doesn't exactly fit on top of the back of the phone, so it gets a lot of dust under there and you're gonna want to clean it.
If you can manage to take it off better than i could i would recommend the case, makes the phone a lite more bulkier but shouldn't be a problem, it wasn't for me.
I just got the Spigen rugged armor today, it's really great too, using it now!
IMO:
Poetic: good protection and good looks, still showing off your metal
Spigen Armor: good protection and good looks, no metal show off
Orzly crystal: not as good protection (thinner) but still good, and very transparent
Sorry for mentioning other cases on this thread but those are the 3 i got and i can give my opinion on

no problem. i already ordered the poetic. looks like it should arrive monday.. just hoping its a great case for me.. im very picky lol
Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk

well my case came today...
First Impressions:
Good:
1. Case feels premium.
2. Phone has great grip and texture.
3. Cutout for charger seems to be large enough for all my chargers, but will test more later.
4. Clear plastic is thick and doesn't have any tinting.
5. Cutouts for camera and speakers and mics seem perfect.
6. Buttons work great and have grip on them.
Bad:
1. Headphone cutout is small, should work for standard headphone plugs, but for a computer speaker plug in, it will not fit.. i may need to modify.
It will be interesting to see how the case does after a few days of testing... hopefully it will hold up as I really like the style and feel.
Thank you.

Shadows?
Came across this case the other day in my internet travels looking for something similar to my Supcase Unicorn Beetle Hybrid for my M8. The only case SC has for the 10 looks like a gawd damn brick. Ok for some, just not me. So, my question is, can anyone please confirm whether photos taken in this case cause any kind of blur, or shadow, from the cut out. I'm not talking about the known issues with lens flare here too, just to clarify. I've never owned a clear case but have heard of some that do cause a shadow (I am assuming a reflection from flash off the clear cut out).
Cheers.

That's exactly what i'm looking for. Thanks for the replies J4G, and the review.

Hey man, I was just about to purchase from Amazon, thought i'd read through some of the reviews and some people are advising where the camera cut out is, the case sits up off the phone a little (i.e. not flush with phone), allowing debris in through the cut out. Looks flush from your last pic. Is this true?? I really don't mean to sound pedantic want to make sure I'm happy with case before I pull the trigger cause there's none to be found in Oz and I don't want to have screw around with returns.

from what i can see, that does appear true... I haven't seen much dust and debris get in there.. however i have only had it on a few days. :silly:
I will say that a lot of people said they are a pain to get off.. however I can attest that mine is like any other case.. it does hold on well, but just peel back a corner and then work on another corner, it pops right out.. so should be easy to clean..

dbrand Grip Review

Hey everyone, gave the dbrand Grip a little unboxing and review. If you have any questions feel free to ask!
Video Review

That's an unboxing video, not a review. Also, the jumper is to bypass the mic connector to attach a "regular" headset without risk of shorting the mic.

Anyone has a photo of the back with a skin + dbrand grip?

Got mine on Saturday. Put it on and immediately took it off. It's big and bulky compared to my RhinoShield, and pretty damn ugly too.

Already have mine up for sale on ebay

I really like the case. It offers much better grip than the rhinoshield, which I found to be way too slippery. It doesn't add much more bulk than the rhinoshield and I believe it offers better protection as well.

Let's go with initial impressions review if you'd like, as I do a bit more than just taking the case out of the box
Also, professional audio engineer here; no. The jumper is literally just a 4 wire passive extender. There is no special 3 pin TRS ("regular") to 4 pin TRRS circuitry or summing of signals to bypass the mic connector or short the mic.
Research before posting fake news.

I don't know about the DBRAND's... but the Rhinoshield transformed my Pixel 2 + case experience, in melted butter. It was back in the box 3 hours later. I haven't even tried to return it and waste more money returning the item.

I'm not a fan of bumper case at all. But it looks kinda dope ( to me at least ). I hear it's gonna be around $60 when dbrand release it. ??

I know right?! I have yet to receive an email about shipping. Ordered this thing in frigging November.

Been using this almost a month. Really like the way the phone shows off the back. I'm using a Note 8. So with this case, my phone just became much larger... And the "grip" is very grippy, to the point that when I want to slip the phone into my pocket, it is not easy to do that. The grip is actually gripping onto my pants pocket! Same thing coming out of the pocket. Because of this, I will only rate it as 3.8/5 stars. It's awesome as a protective case though, dropped it once on a flat surface, my phone survived. Just that it's a bit too grippy
