Thanks for all the reviews, makes me decide so much easier to what I want without buying something and then later returning it cause I dislike it. Think I will be going with the Phantom

Yeah I saw this one a few days ago too! Finally a protective case that looks great, and with white color too! Ordered.
But after a few days, is'nt there dust or smt. under the front cover? Cause for the menu button, there is a hole in the front?!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
ive got one and i cannot see any dust or smt under the screen cover,and the outer /back part off the case come off easy to put it in a dock ,once you now how it fits
I guess a little dust could get in from the speaker hole at the top but it would take a while to build up and its easy enough to remove the case to clean it.
Nice review mate

this is not an samsung official released

Samsung officially authorized it, so basically the same thing

Screen
Hard to tell from your video, does it have any lip to lift the screen off of a table if it is set down on the face? I think I can see one, but you mention that it won't protect the phone at all if it is dropped on the screen, which tells me that it doesn't stick out at all.

No it doesn't have any lip to protect the screen, a nice feeling case but not one for protection.

Yes there is. It's not big lip but just enough to raise the phone that the screen doesn't touch the table when placed face down. And I think this provides protection to most vulnerable parts of the phone: corners.

Yes it does. I think it's stupid. And there's no real use for it either: With a coin in it's place, it's not something i'd call very stable, so i rather keep the phone in my hand or have it leaning against something. And the looks could be more like in the s2s version. Other than that, i think it's a great case and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a minimal case that doesn't add to much bulk.
P.S. Just got the official slim case today (yes, the twin pack), so we'll see which one do i prefer...

I should have a replica mesh case soon which doesn't have the coin slot. Think if the quality is good it should be a wicked case.

As some of you know, neo hybrid has some volume issues. Here are some videos. Already trying to return this (neo hybrid infinity white), I actually preferred and bought the Lumi Sparkling Blue (matches my theme, hehe~) so that is being shipped today. Some did say that one works better (?), not sure but time will tell.
Design wise, I LOVE it. Just wish I would have a perfect working case.

Just shave down the inside, it's a simple fix I did on mine. Works perfect now. I know you probably want a case that works right out of the box but I think it's worth an effort.

If you look inside of the case where the buttons are, there are little nubs that sticks out. I'm guessing SGP made it little too long, so just cut it off or trim it till it meets your desire.
I had posted picture of my case on other thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29133860 check post #61, you will notice where I cut the little nubs.

Was a bit skeptical but I love the look of the case too much to return it. Used a razor blade to shave down the nubs and now the issue is gone, just lose the clickyness of the buttons. Thanks

Can anyone confirm that they shaved off a bit of the button and it worked?

Hey guys,
Got this case, and decided to review it for you . Its a pretty thin full body case. Doesnt add thtat much bulk and it feels natural. The little squares on the back gives a nice look to it.
Here ya go enjoy

What is best way to protect my S4 from cracking screen. I am scared to crack screen on it.
Any case ? or any screen protractor like zagg invisibleshield will work ?
Or any slim case or screen proctor combo ?
Only reason i gave up on s3 was crack screen.
My screen cracked even without dropping phone on s3 and replacement phone cracked too by dropping just from my pocket. so I moved to iPhone, but I love android.

Not dropping it.
No but really all you need is a case with a bumper that extends so the glass can't be the first thing to hit the hard surface. I've become a fan of cases that combine TPU and a hard barrier.

this plus a case,(personally I went with an otterbox) and you will never have a problem.
Get a tempered glass protector (I got mine from Spigen), and then a case. That will protect your screen.
I use an xoskins http://xoskins.com and a case. It doesn't have orange peel like other skins and won't get scratched with sand or lint. Cases I prefer otterbox
Thinking about ordering one. Anyone got information or experience with these?

I have one in red! It looks really nice and I love the look of the metal. The only issue I have is the silicone part isn't the most snug fit and sometimes an edge of the phone might come out of the case when I took it out of my pocket. I don't think the whole phone would come out or anything..I'm just picky.

Thank you for the pictures. Would you recommend it?
Sent from my One using xda app-developers app
If you're looking for protection, I probably wouldn't recommend it. There really isn't much of a lip over the screen and the top corners seem to slip off a little too easily. It's not like the whole case would accidentally fall off though since the metal part helps to keep it somewhat rigid.
If you're looking for style, then go for it. It's definitely a unique case.
Heads up, if you actually buy it from Mindplar.com it's $45 with shipping and comes with an assumingly cheap battery bank. A little bit cheaper.

This case does indeed look night, I never spend this much on a case but I might have to, maybe I will wait for a few other reviews.
These are pretty sharp looking. I have only been using a sleeve, but might have to consider this. I think Eddie Van Halen would approve of the red one.

Nice case !
I seen 1 million cover for htc one but i never seen this one before ! thanks , probably i'll purchase this , seems really good
Just got mine in the mail. Came with a free 1000 mAh power bank.
Didn't realize that the IR port was covered, no big deal though. I can use a nail to put a hole in there.
Kind of disappointed that the "metal" part is glued on, and it doesn't wrap around the lip like other hybrid cases.
The case itself is very slim. If you have a glass screen protector it wouldn't wrap around it. Looks really great in hand though.

So looking at the pictures previously posted, is the rubber very...rubbery? lol like the ports seem very loosely cut (charging port) and the edges seem like very rounded. I am used to the UAG case and think the cuts and lines are so sharp that this case (while looking pretty rad) has some variances in quality
am i right?
