Just checking stuff out.
I have a Incipio Sylicrilic, Triobump, Xtreme Guard Screens, basic screen protectors and just ordered a Samsung 32GB Class 10.
Thinking about checking out the roll on screen protector by PureGear and a Sweet Armor case.

Got one at the store. Quality is great, I just don't like the flaps that close off the open ports. Post pics when you get it.

Would like to have Allshare Cast and whatever adapter it takes to use MHL and a game controller simultaneously, but Samsung are in no hurry to release either so guess my money's safe until either they release them or I find I Chinese knockoff first.
Incipio Sycrilic Case and a Diztronic TPU case which I just got today. I expected it to be a little softer but it will do. I don't see how the Diztronic case is going to protect against drops but I don't drop my phone much.

Sgp neo lumi case, Diztronic TPU, zagg screen protector and 32gb class 10 card
The Platinum series from Best Buy isn't bad. Nice thin two piece case and comes with a holster. The holster has a nice sturdy clip and allows for easy access to your phone. It's keeping my phone safe until I can get my hands on Otterbox or Trident.

Edit: only negative is that you have to be careful if using a screen protector. Case is tight and edges may come up if you aren't careful.

-Fully protects the camera from the phone resting on it when you lay the phone on a hard flat surface face up.
-Fully protects the screen if you lay the phone face down on hard surface by having the case touch the surface and not the screen.
-Fits the phone snuggly and entirely and is stylish to boot
-Phone doesn't become a hassle to remove from your pocket because of the case material
-Case protects phone from dropping at average walking heights where you would be carrying the phone (4-5 feets) shock absorbent material
-Volume buttons and power button protected yet easy to push
I wouldn't mind buying a case that comes with a screen protector too, anyone know of any deals down this road?
What cases fit this criteria? I went to BestBuy today to check out what they had and I was very disappointed.
Recommendations would be very much appreciated! Thanks.
Trident Cyclops, Mine should be in today, I will let you know how it goes. There is a 30% off deal on slickdeals.net, just search for Evo 4g.

I got the splash CRUISER Slim-Fit PolyCarbonate Slider Case + Belt Clip Holster Combo for HTC EVO. It works pretty well. I would post a link but I'm not allowed to. It can be found on amazon.
Thanks for the help guys! I was looking at the Otterbox Commuter case on Amazon.com and the reviews are terrible for it, any idea why?
Any one have a recommendation of the thinnest case that protects all four sides of the phone? I have the GSM Nexus and the Incipio and Case Mate options do not provide cover on all four sides. I was wondering if any one has seen something similar but with 4 corner protection
I don't really like cases as I find the ones with a nice feel to "grab" too much when I pull the phone out of my pocket, but I do use a silicone "skin" occasionally when I want to keep the phone from jostling around in my cupholder or if I'm doing an activity where I don't want the phone to slide out of my pocket easily. They're dirt cheap too, only $2-$3 on ebay.

Definitely a toss-up between Rearth Ringke SLIM, SGP Neo-Hybrid, and SGP Ultra Capsule.
Here's an excellent video review of the SGP Neo-Hybrid. I'm really interested in seeing the same reviewer do the Rearth SLIM, and sent him a PM requesting it. I hope he obliges
The problem that I have with the rearth and the hybrid is that they don't come completely up the side of the phone. I wouldn't mind if they came flush. The capsule might be a winner I'll have to find more pictures.

The Rearth indeed doesn't come all the way up on the sides, however the Hybrid does. Check out the review I linked you, specifically 1 minute and 53 seconds in - you can see the rubber part comes up and slightly over the phone.
In either case it doesn't really matter, either way the top and bottom DO have extruding "lips" so when you place your phone flat on a surface, the screen won't be touching it.

Oh thanks I didn't notice the lip on the Hybrid.. Interesting. Thanks

I'm currently using the diztronic rev 3 matte black one . Works great and it fits over the extended battery.

I just got my GSM Nexus, and just installed an XO skin (non-case version) on the screen. do any of the above case suggestions interfere with screen protectors? I'm looking to getting a thin case just to increase the grip on the device.
I wish someone would make something like the diztronic but thinner. That way it would have grip and a little protection, but still feel close to stock and fit in docks and such. I saw something like this years ago on a nokia phone.
I have a diztronic case and it's not bad but too thick Imo. I ordered one of those "skin" stickers, but haven't received it yet.

LTE Gnex owners need something
Hi everyone. I got my phone around 3 months ago and I've been sporting this $2.50 case I found online. It's good, but doesn't offer the protection I need. I'm looking for a better case that isn't too expensive. So far I'm considering these...
Trident Aegis
Seidio
Ballistic Look-Alike (http://www.ebay.com/itm/13065928243...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3360wt_1185)
Otterbox Commuter if I can find one for cheap
Any recommendations? Thanks.
I had the actual ballistic case like that. It will protect it from falls but i work in construction and everyday i got home i had to take the phone out the case and clean them both bc the case gets dust inside to easy. Ive had seidios tridents ballistics and otterboxes for numerous phones. Ive pretty much come to realized the only case thats gonna offer full protection is one with a built in screen protector like a otterbox defender or ballistic hc. Others do offer good drop protection but they just let to much dust inside the phone
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
The actual ballistic is a little out of my range, as is the defender :/. But I've heard the trident aegis is good at resisting dust.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
The Trident Aegis is a great case and offers great protection against drops and dust. You can find it on eBay for about $20 with shipping. You can't go wrong with the otterbox commuter but that's gonna cost you about $27 on eBay shipped. If cost is a big factor go with the Trident. You get more bang for your buck. Its a premium case at a great price.
I love my Trident but I ordered the otterbox commuter just because I'm an otterbox fanboy
Send from my Galaxy SII Epic Touch
I just got that same exact case yesterday and its a steal! Feels great while holding phone and not cheap looking at all. I remember paying 35+ for a trident ageis case on my old mt4g and that is basically what this case is.
Also ordered couple screen protectors and the case does a good job of keeping protector snug so no dust gets in. I'm very impressed and I usually hate rocking my phone anything but naked lol
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Thanks everyone. I think I'm just going to buy the Aegis sometime tomorrow for like $19. Although I did find a good deal on the Ballistic (actual) on ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sprint-Epic...ccessories&hash=item1e6c4a978c#ht_1749wt_1344). Is Ballistic generally preferred over Aegis?

I have a very good news for you.
You can get Seido cases for dirt cheap.
here is why.
Seido makes OEM ( store brand) cases for Bestbuy sold as platinum series.
The surface case. is best buy model call STC21SB. list as 34.99
but if you search 'STC21SB' on ebay, store liquidators are always getting rid of them under 10.
this method can be apply to any phone.. just search your phone in best buy, get the model number of Seido case, and get it on ebay.
I think last time i got one... 8.99 shipped including holster.
I'm using a thick tpu generic case I got on Amazon for 6 bucks it is amazing and looks alright to...... dropped my phone many times it saved it every time even threw it on to a tile floor as demonstration and it feels amazing in the hand cause it's textured

Looks like this one,

I got the Seidio Active case a few months back and it's been through a lot of falls and it hasn't gotten a single scratch on the case or the phone. It even makes a nice solid thud when it hits the ground so I know it's absorbing the impact. I got it off of Amazon (not sure if you could get it cheaper).
Personally, I have the ballistics one I got for 17$ on Ebay and i'm satisfied.

Hey everyone.
I'm trying to find a case for my phone that doesn't obstruct the use of the buttons with other plastic. I got the otterbox commuter but the plastic that's used has changed since my last otterbox and it's now rigid and terrible. It makes it virtually impossible to press the buttons.
Anyone have a suggestion?
My Ballistic Case offers great protection and the buttons are fine. You don't have to use the display protector and I don't. I use a Zagg HD screen protector.

Spigen Ultra series...
If you are just looking to protect against scratches, the OEM Samsung cases are the best I have found. Obviously don't provide protection from drops, but ultra thin and add some grip to the phone. I picked up the white two-pack from Expansys. If you have the 50% off from Samsung accessories you can pick up the white/blue pack for $10 plus shipping and tax.
