Has anyone seen any cases with a flip cover for the screen that actually cover the all the edges and corners?
Everything I have found so far seems to either leave some corner sticking out or fully expose the top and bottom.
I am looking for something that would be a decent case against falls by itself that also happens to have a screen flap.

I am looking for a minimalistic case for my galaxy nexus except that the case covers the side bezel of the screen.
Diztronic. Will "lip" over the sides and the bottom plastic. This case is ideal for those with screen protectors that lift at the ends, so that the case covers it.
This is the one I have. Covers the sides and lips over as well:

Not sure if they'd deliver to where you're located though.
The speck case also has a lip around it that will cover the ends of a screen protector.
looks pretty thick
I got this one on Ebay, covers the side bezel but not the top. I also have a Diztronic, and it's a bit too bulky. This designcraft one is very slim.

Apologies if this has been covered - didn't find anything in search ...
Most of the cases for GS3 - especially the gel TPU cases that I like for grip - have a molded "racetrack" edge that runs around the perimeter of the phone. Problem I've noticed is that dust gets collected in the corners because it has nowhere to slide off.
I found some cases that only wrap along the sides on the face of the phone. That is, the upper & lower edges of the phone are exposed. Bad for drop protection but I like that the dust can just be wiped off (and often does just pulling it out of my pocket). Problem is, these types of cases are usually hard plastic and just as slippery as the plastic on the phone itself. I just received one that was sold as TPU but it's only slightly more grippy - nothing even close to the gel TPU cases.
Is there a TPU gel case that leave top or top & bottom open? Or is there a way to keep dust from collecting in the corners without constantly peeling off the edge & wiping away? I took an Xacto knife and sliced away the upper edge of the gel TPU case and that works but looks kinda crappy.
Dont think such case exsist imo. The closest to what u need it the rearth ringke slimelite. But like u mentioned the top and bottom are uncovered. But the edges and corners are covered for some slight drop protection. Also has lay on table feature

Thanks. Yeah, that slim lite is very similar to the one I have which is open top & bottom. It is "soft feeling" but doesn't give nearly the grip of TPU gel cases.
Oh the ringke has great grip. Love the grip it has. I have never dropped it once with that case on, and i have butter fingers lol. Btw i currently have the zoogue and don't get any dust underneath at all. I work in the oilfield so i should know. I take it off couple times a week to wipe it down and havent seen any dust particles on the edge nor the backside.

Interesting. I wonder if mine being a cheaper version has a harder TPU that is not as grippy as the ringke. Gonna look into that. Not sure why I'm getting so much dust in the wrap-around lip cases. Maybe overly linty pockets!
What case are u having issues with? Is it a generic tpu case

Yeah, generic TPU case that has the standard lip that wraps around the perimeter of the screen. Seems like dust gets attracted to the screen and then scoots its way to the corners since the lip prevents it from sliding off.

Hi guys,
so I'm almost a G4 owner now and I'm trying to find some protection for the new baby. Circle case with wireless charging has caught my eye and I would like to know, if it offers any other protection rather than the screen? Is there any kind of a bezel regarding the corners and sides? I'm not looking for a strong drop protection, I just want to know, that if something goes wrong, the case is what takes the impact first.
Have a nice day.
From what I have seen in pictures:
It's basically the same plastic back (or is it leather), and it replaces the battery cover.
It offers 0 bumb protection.
There is a cutout in the plastic through which the leather strip is attached that connects the flip cover.
It has a flip that offers some scratch protection, just not in that circular cut-out obviously.
The quick circle does not seem that useful, so I just opted for a battery cover with a Qi sticker in it.
still waiting for delivery on it, but even if the contacts dont line up perfectly it should be easy to correct minor alignment issues.
Is anyone using original samsung flip cover on S2? That one looking like a bumper without back and with rubber border around screen edge and leather like thin flap. I do, but i got it used from auction site and after few days rubber part, especially over volume and power buttons, became bumpy and stand out off the phone edges on both sides, and it looks awful. Is it normal or someone used it wrong way? Maybe someone constantly rolled it off playing around buttons so rubber stretched?
Received my Spigen Hybrid case today. Hated it at first, but after some modifications I think it's a keeper.
My issue with the case was twofold:
1. It wouldn't stay on securely, even with the adhesive tabs Spigen put here and there around the inner frames.
2. The lefthand plastic border on front screen moves around, as it is not attached in any manner.
So, I got creative...
I used some clear window insulator tape (Scotch brand) and cut it in strips to add along the inner frame of both front and back of case. Also added one long strip to the front case left edge to keep it from moving around.
It's nice and snug now. You can notice the tape underneath the front frame border...I think I may try putting my dbrand skin over it, or perhaps I'll finagle something else along those lines so it can't be seen. (updated: yes vinyl worked to hide it)
The case is pretty light, definitely durable. Makes the phone chunkier for sure. I can live with it though.
**I also received my CaseMate (the T-Mobile one) today. Hated it. First of all, that rubber hinge cover drove me nuts! All floppy and bunched up while Fold is open. The screen protector on front case had paint overlap from the bezel that I needed to literally scrape off. I did MacGyver that one too...cut the hinge cover right the eff off. It's mediocre at best regardless.
***Added Pics of modified CaseMate Case - removed hinge cover, removed cheapo included screen protector, added same adhesive tape to make it snug and secure. I may actually prefer the feel of this case over the Spigen Hybrid!
****OK, added some vinyl to the Spigen. It covers up the tape perfectly...also covered the metal plate on back that I use for magnetic mounts at home and in car.
