Fishbone Case Question

I have read the reviews on this case for other phones but I was wondering if anyone has one on their SII. I'm mostly worried about how it works with an Invisible Shield screen protector. Many cases bubble it up.

I got one in my stocking for Christmas.
I really like it. Buttons are very easy to push..feels great in my hands and the case itself is an excellent fit.
Doesn't make my screen protector bubble up or anything.

Would you say it provides a good amount of protection, especially around the edges?

Yes a fair amount...it covers up the edges nicely... will your phone survive a 15ft fall? Probably not..but a normal out of pocket or off lap it will do just fine.
My only complaint so far is it is a lint magnet... haha
But looks stellar with my theme too
I'm happy with it overall.

*gasp* That is so cool! Thanks for posting the link, I just ordered a purple one

Ive had my white one for about 3 weeks now and have dropped mine a couple of times from about bathroom sink high i dont have nary a scratch on it! Only thing i would say is get a much better Screen protector for it other than the one that comes with the case. Now All it needs now is replacement shells without having to purchase a hole new case so you can change colors!

To the owners of this case:
What is the quality of the rubber? Is it a cheap flimsy feeling or a harder solid rubber?
Does anyone notice their phone getting unusually warm with this case on when in use?

I got a blue one , i personally love this case i mean for 9 bucks i dont think you can go wrong, the rubber isnt the best grade but thats why i got rid of my D30 case because it was to hard and pushing the buttons was a pain in the ass. I think for price you cant go wrong here....and i havent noticed my phone getting warm with normal use

I have this case and what I have noticed is that it causes your phone to echo. When my friends call me, they always complain that they can hear themselves talking. The echo disappears when I take off the case.

Odd, never had this issue myself - I have 3 of these cases. 1 for me, 2 for the G-friend, they work great - the inner rubber is flimsy but the plastic part firms it up enough. Its a daily driver, just dont expect otter box or trident grade here.
I retired my Fishbone for the Seidio I got for Christmas

I have one and love it. Fits great, really seems to protect it well. WELL worth the money.

Got mine today & while I like it, it seems to suffer from the same flimsy sides-syndrome as the Incipio case. Also, I ordered the purple one but apparently their interpretation of purple is hot pink. I HATE pink. This happens way too often, I'm just gonna start ordering blue from now on >:[

If you actually got the wrong color, contact them. I ordered white and got black, and they refunded like half of money.

These cases look pretty sweet, i may take a shot at one

I love the way it looks, Only thing that concerns me is the Lint Magnet...I work in a dusty factory.. -_-

I've got this one. I like it. The rubber is really "squishy" which makes buttons easy to push (unlike previous cases I've gotten), while the fishbone keeps the shock absorbing rubber in place and then provides good physical protection. Then there is the aspect of how cool it looks.

or don't get something as useless as a screen protector. send me the money you waste on it please. Many thanks. Screen protectors.........sigh.....please.

I got mine two days ago and the next day I ordered a Trident Aegis case. The Fishbone looks cool, no doubt about it. It's also hard to go wrong with a case that you can buy for $3.90 on Amazon. However, the silicone is loose on the sides and I'm disappointed that because the plastic shell doesn't wrap around the sides except for the corners, the middle of the plastic is not securely attached. When I talk on the phone it pulls very easily. I'll keep it as a backup, but I don't want to use it as a daily.

I had a Fishbone Case for my Epic 4g and my Evo 4g. Loved them both. I was always sad there wasn't one for the NS but now I have one for my SGS2 and just as great. I love them because they are freaking cheap (paid $5 shipped from amazon) and they look fantastic. I've never had a problem with protection either since they are soft gel it basically absorbs drops (not huge ones, obviously) very well. Also, given that I have full ghost armor on the phone it still fits perfectly where as my d30 didn't.

So I took Telekinetic's advice & contacted the seller, and they're replacing the pink fishbone with this case. It's not a fishbone, but it looks awesome & the design promises to solve the floppy sides problem.

This seller is really awesome BTW, very nice, very accomodating, and they're not even making me send the original case back

[REVIEW][PICS]Qubits TPU Case

This case is pretty nice, I have the Diztronics Matte Case and this far superior.
EDIT: It appears I messed up with adding images, so I provided direct links to a Picasa album under the corresponding text.
First off, I'd like to point out its design.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694664838498885570
This case uses a combination of three forms of TPU.
The back uses two, and the side has the third. From the photo, the majority of the back is matte with a gloss design on the side of the back.
Now for the TPU on the actual sides on the phone:
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666212754847586
It's a nice textured form of TPU that provides a great amount of grip without making the phone impossible to slide in and out of a pocket or gather dust like silicon. It may just be that I'm fourteen, but I always found the Galaxy Nexus a bit slippery, or maybe it's because of this the darn phone gets, which looks great but isn't entirely practical.
The case itself doesn't add much to the size of the phone, but it provides decent, and very eye catching protection.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694664844600398466
The back of the case is also raised near the camera to prevent scratches that phones like the EVO were plagued with.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666188166111906
The volume buttons get a dedicated cover, as expected, but makes them feel mushy, but they're really small to begin with.
The cutouts on the phone are pretty big and shouldn't have any issues, and there is also a double-holed thing at the bottom for lanyards.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666177130719426
This is overall a great case, for its price its pretty hard to beat as well. You can find it here on Amazon.

Link to the buying site would be of great help bro

That looks like the cover I had on my Incredible. I liked it, especially when I cut it to fit my extended battery... hehe! Though I dont know if the material is the same.

I've had this since launch, it costed me ~£4 from ebay which I was really pleased with.
So far it has treated me well, feels good, looks pretty good and protects my phone.
I should receive the Diztronic Matte Case sometime next week, I was hoping for that to be an improvement on this! (OP doesn't think so! )

I like that. I am using the stock one from Verizon. I am still waiting for a good case, but this one is pretty nice. I want a clip too I think. However, I break clips by bumping into things

This is the only Galaxy nexus case I currently have, and boy does it get the job done for $2 from Amazon.
Almost got the cruzerlite but the price was right on Qubits.
Anyone know if I were to purchase an extended battery if it would fit with this case? Any extended batteries you'd recommend (for GSM) that won't break the bank (or my phone)

I ordered a clear one from amazon for $1.75. My old smoke TPU case was turning a bit yellow so I ordered this to replace it for a while. I'll post pics if anyone is interested.

Yeah I wouldn't mind seeing that thanks

White black duo-shield soft skin hard case

This is for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, not the GSM Variant.
I ordered this case from the suggestion of another person on twitter and it came in the mail today. I was especially intrigued by it because he said it fit the extended battery rather well!
It turns out that it does and seems to be one of the first I have found (besides the Otterbox Series) that fits the phone with the extended battery included.
It is made of high quality materials, and isnt a lint collector in my pocket which is a big one for me. Below are a link to the pictures of the phone w/ the extended battery and the case itself.

I have this case in white/purple and loved it, but was concerned about the back getting "scratched" since the plastic part doesn't have any felt or cushioning. What are your thoughts on this? Is there any reason to be concerned in your opinion?

The plastic seems to be fairly strong, for example, it seems the coating is of high quality which makes it not easily scratch able.
For the most part I am not worried about the case being scratched and I really like it.

I was worried about the back of the phone getting scratched by the plastic part that touches it. You have noticed no scratches on your phone from this case?

I misunderstood you from before, and no I do not think that the plastic will scratch the phone in any way

Thank you for your review and your opinion! That makes me feel a bit better about using that case as it is my favorite so far. I am still looking at the Kraken (when they make one), Rearth Rinke and SGP. I also have one of those cases that look like the ballistic ones. I like it though it does make it a bit bulkier.

Just ordered the White/Green one to go with my Beats . I'm a sucker for anything Lime Green, I have been going naked on the phone, hopefully I'll like this case. Biggest thing I was worried about what being a lint magnet, good thing it isnt

You will love it. Since my issue of scratches to my phone have been eliminated, it will be my case of choice until a couple of the others come out.

Do you guys no how this compares size wise to the Otterbox's?

Is it as bulky at the OtterBox Defender? Im looking to replace my defender with something slimmer

How much weight does it add?? I love how light this phone is and I'm looking for a case that doesn't add much weight
Sent from my GalaxyNexus using XDA App

anything similar for the gsm?

I also ordered this case Black/Red. I have a GSM version. The difference between the LTE/GSM is .53mm so Im thinking it'll be fine. I read a negative review about this case that discouraged me but after reading this thread im feeling a lil better. Pics look great on the SGN. Also Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor will be between my boo boo (lol) and the case so I'm not worried about the plastic scratching my phone. It also comes with a Naked Shield screen protector wich I've read is a wet application. Any thoughts on the included screen protector? Is it any good? Doubt id peel my Ghost Armor screen protector off for any other but im still interested if it's good.

It adds near 0 weight to the phone, at least it seems as if it does not which is the important part

I just got this, LOVE IT! although it does add some bulk it barely added much weight and it fits well with the extended battery with one exception, I had to remove my skin that was installed on the phone... I was a little shocked it wouldn't fit with that skin but I guess I don't need it...

Elago Breath Cases GS3 White & Blue pictured on white GS3

Hey guys I ordered two Elago Breathe Cases for the GS3 from Amazon. I purchased the Glossy White as well as a blue called Glossy Coral. They cost $9.99 each and since I have prime I got two day shipping for free. Here is the direct link for the cases for the GS3:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&asin=&isAmazonFulfilled=1&isCBA=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&seller=A23S71QXDZCPQA
I purchased the white one for myself and the blue one for my girlfriend. The cases are very thin and sleek. They feel great in the hand and do not add extra bulk to the phone. The top and bottom of the case is open so you wont get overall protection there, so be careful when handling it and not dropping it. There is a slight lip, but I don't think that it will keep the phone raised up enough off a surface if you lay the phone flat on the screen side. I would definitely recommend putting a screen protector on to be combined with this case. I had already purchased a screen protector the day I picked up the phone from the store, however Elago actually sells the case together with a screen protector from amazon as well. The prices for the two combined are $24.99, and the screen protectors from Elago are $8.99 alone. There are cut outs on the sides for the power button and the volume rocker. I feel that the cut outs aren't recessed enough, and your made aware of it however it does not bother me too much. Overall I am very happy with the cases especially for the price. I would definitely buy from Elago again, and I do like the variety of colors that they offer the cases in. I like the Breathe style because they are different than all of these other snap on thin cases and make the phone stand out more. I took some pics from various angles with both cases on the phone and off the phone with my dslr so you guys can take a look for yourselves.

nice review. how well does the phone stay in the case though? i've been hesitant with snap on cases because i'm afraid the phone will come out of it.

are they grippy or are they still really smooth? I am planning on getting a case only because the phone is so smooth i know i'm going to drop it eventually.
It's a great looking case though!

Thanks! The phone is snug within the case. It hasn't come out of the phone. It fell earlier today, and the case popped off but i've had that happen with other cases though. When it fell, there was not damage to the phone. THANK GOD! LOL.

It is smooth but I feel like the perforated holes add grip while your hands are holding it. I used it all day yesterday and today so far and haven't slip because of it being too smooth.

I was hoping that the official vent case for the GS3 looked like the official case for the GS2 but they screwed the look up pretty badly. This one looks good but it needs that flashy silver plaque. Haha.
Although I felt the same way about the actual phone itself but the GS3 grew on me and is now the best looking phone ever. Maybe that official vent case will grow on me as well.

Had an elago s4 on my iPhone. Best case I ever had. Thanks for the review!

Looking for a new case

Hey everyone!
Right now I am on my third Body Glove case, which were sold by AT&T awhile back. I have three because they keep breaking, and I managed to snag some for being under warranty. However, on the one I just got, they said that they no longer will be producing or honoring warranties on these cases, as they simply won't be making them anymore. Therefore, I am in the market for a new case. I am looking for one that is relatively sturdy/thick (this one is about 1/16th of an inch, not counting the felt liner), has a rubberized plastic coating (non-slip), and that doesn't inhibit the function of the phone that much (my case right now is a little bit on the keyboard, that's fine). Really any color will do, right now I have a cobalt-blue color case, just as long as it isn't any feminine color or anything of the like. If anyone knows of anybody that makes cases like this (that you could suggest), please share them!
Thanks

Look on ebay. There's plenty on there.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda premium

I see that there are a lot on eBay, however, a lot of them also seem like cheap import crap. While something being inexpensive isn't necessarily a bad thing, being flimsy would be. Plus, I was looking for recommendations as to cases that others use.

I use the speck sure slider case and its great. Except one thing.. The part that exposes the camera and speaker is really weak. Other than that its probably the best case for this phone.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda premium

I was really considering that case, actually. The only really big turn off is the fact that it leaves that metal(ic?) portion with the camera and speaker exposed. I really can see all kinds of dirt and lint and such fouling up both the speaker and the camera, as well as the fact that the metal itself is exposed (scratches! yay!).
Related to that case, does the gigantic speck logo on the back bother you at all when it is being held, or affect it lying flat?

I hardly notice it really. Your not gonna find a great case like trident or otterbox for this phone so lets not be too picky lol.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda premium

Haha, not trying to be too picky, I just am looking for a good case.
On a side note, every rubber-coated case I have gets discolored from skin oils...what do you all think is the best way to clean these kinds of cases?
