Casemate tough for Xperia S - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

From what I see this looks like the best protection available. But is there anything similar out there? £25 is a lot considering you can get iphone cases similar for about £5
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2

Not seen anything to compare with the protection offered by the Tough for the S. I've been looking for six months or so!
Makes you sick when all you see are S3 and iphone cases in shops.
Mind, I think they are worth the money. I had one for my Sensation, and the missus has one for her Note. They just look so boring in matt black. Need more colours (I know you can get one with pink detailing, but, you know...)

The edge case from incipio is the best tough case out there. It looks good while being fairly tough, it protects from all sides.

They seem just as expensive?
What makes it better?

that seller just sent me 5 pictures of it front and backs i'd post but your not allowed
What I'd really like is a screen protector to be here and ready when my GNex finally arrives.
As far as this goes I think it looks slightly tacky.
I found one from china for 3. Wonder if it will get here before the phone. Lol

I just got these off ebay for $11 shipped. For around $2 per case i dont expect great quality but, they should do the job untill a proper one comes along a little after release.
Looks nice, I have a feeling there will be a lot of accessories for this phone over any other Android device.
I had one for my Nexus S and SGS2 in matte black, I hate glossy. Anyone seen one yet?
They're decent and cost effective. I purchased a few from ebay with no complaints

I would like your opinion about this case.

Lately i have seen a lot of posts about broken gs3 screens, and i'm really afraid that something like that could happen to my beloved gs3.
At this moment i am using a regular silicon case, which i don't believe gives me enough protection.
So i have been researching the best case to protect my phone without adding much bulkiness.
I found this option on amazon and it seems quite interesting....and good looking.

A little expensive but if protects my gs3 i won't care
So...what do think about it guys ?

It looks abit bulky but should do the job.
But maybe take a look on ebay for it. Maybe find it a little bit cheaper
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Looks too One X or death star to me. It totally ruins the elegant look the GS3 goes for.
If I and to get a bulky case, I would go for Capdase armor jacket. Although I am not sure if the Aluminum kills reception or not.
Nahh...i've droped mine a couple of times with and without a tpu case and not a single scratch mate....
I also saw some drop/durability tests and i've seen the S3 is strong!
Maybe the first units had durability issues...?
Anyway i would spend money if i were you...
But if you want to stay free of guilts not buing a decent case undoubtly get an otterbox!
they're simply the best!You wont regret it....
Seems like good protection, but I like more the looks of the Otterbox Commuter for a "bulky case" (And I've heard is one of the betters in matters of protection). I'm supposed to get an Incipio Silicrylic any time this week, I decided to go for it because I thought a Commuter was overkill for my daily use and the Incipio seems to be stylish. I hope I don't regret that choice
Also, I think this should be in the Accessories section?
Well for what i have seen it the thinnest of the bulky cases. That is why i've got so interested. Also it looks pretty bad ass.
But i will check all your suggestions too.
I am still searching for a case to my new toy..the N7.

Just got mine from US to UK, took less than a week to arrive
After 2 official samsung flip cases fell apart (1 in first 10 days) I saw this and liked the look of it.
It's obviously more bulky than before but not enough to bother me. It's fairly lightweight too. Having side protection as well as the cool looking back won me over.
It Cost me £28 including delivery. Having spent over £16 (£30rrp) before on the samsung cases I can tell you the quality is far superior.
You get a screen protector included too (after a lot of time and swearing trying to fit the bast**do with no dust trapped) looks pretty good.

Do they not make poetic atmosphere anymore?

So I got the blue HTC one and decided I wanted to get a clear case instead of using my uag case cause of how sweet the color looks...I was looking to get the poetic atmosphere case, but can't seem to find them anywhere...were they discontinued? I know there were issues of them falling apart but the one I had on my old gs4 is still going strong...or can anyone recommend another clear hard type polycarbonate case with decent protection? Thanks guys

You can get one from a seller on amazon at this link. I'm pretty sure I've gotten stuff from them before.

Other than that link and ebay, I don't really see anything either. Shame, really, I liked those cases. Hope they revise the design and come back soon.
Yeah all I see is used one on amazon...there's on on eBay but it's going for a lot imo...poetic doesn't even have them listed on their website...maybe they had too many problems with them breaking.... Oh well gotta find another one I guess

Well there was one at that link and I don't think it was used, however it's gone now. lol. Good luck finding something new. I know its not really the same at all, but the seidio active is a great case. I just got one myself. If it's not too bulky for you (and it's really pretty thin, much thinner than any other dual layer case I've ever had), it seems to offer a good bit of protection and the kickstand is nice.
As far as clear ones go, I haven't really heard of any that are nice and clear and stay that way. Unfortunately, most of them seem to be either not actually clear, yellow with age, or both.
I wouldn't recommend them anyways, mine felt apart within less than a month. I then returned it and whilst I was waiting for my refund my phone fell out my pocket and the screen cracked :crying:

I am sad to see it isn't available any more, I am not surprised though given the amount of issues they had with it. My Atmosphere (white) lasted about a month and then started peeling - it sounds like I had one that lasted longer than most too. It also started getting discolored very quickly and couldn't be cleaned. The other colors probably didn't have that problem.
A couple alternative hybrid hard/soft cases that have good reviews here are the Supcase and the Basal - they both have clear backs but the sides are solid. White, black and some other colors are available.
My Supcase is starting to show a little dirt that I haven't been able to clean off completely, but i have been using it for almost 3 months and it is white, so not too much of a problem for me since I expected some discoloration. I liked the frosted back of the Atmosphere because it didn't show scratches like the clear/smooth back of my Supcase, but at least the Supcase hasn't failed.
Yeah I was gunna try the supcase and see how that worked for me...sounds like my best option atm...now what screen protector lol...

My guess is that they have a stock of them available for returns, when that runs out they will probably offer a refund or a different case. It really was a great looking case, but way too many problems.
I messaged poetic on their site and they say it's discontinued. I'm sure it's workmanship. I had one before and sold the phone and recently purchased the phone again. Even with the small flaws it was a great case and one of the best looking ones for the HTC one.
Considering their warranty and the defect rate of the case (namely the rubber separating from the poly), it's probably makes financial sense to discontinue it. I'm on my second one; great while it lasts, though.

How difficult was the warranty process? What specifically did they want as proof of purchase. I ask because of buying through Amazon

Thinking of buying the official Nexus 5 bumper case?

What are peoples experiences and thoughts of it? I know it's pricey but kinda OCD in that way where I like all my stuff official. Does it still stay slim yet have a premium feel to it?

I think its a bit too expensive for me. I hardly drop my phone and take very good care of it. But from the reviews online, its a well constructed case with a premium feel. So if budget isn't an issue, you can get that. And it does offer decent drop protection.
I am ordering the Tudia Wav Hybrid. The video sold me. Check out the drop test:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZyLInX4EsM
PLUS IT IS $9.99 72% off the regular price over at amazon!!! :good:
I just got mine in tonight. Will give you feedback in a day or so..
What I read was that the clear coat doesn't last as long and starts to peel...hopefully that doesn't happened...
I ordered the black one and I heard that the color ones is harder to see the peels.
What I like so far is that being that is is official..The case fits so perfectly without messing up my tempered glass screen protector; using iloome flex at the moment, MIME version is on the way

It's pretty awful, the non-black ones stain just from the color of your pockets and the coating rubs off of the black case.
Would not buy again.
Check on the thread regarding the LG hardshell which seemingly does exist and has the Nexus logo on the back.

This is what some people have been seeing with their Nexus 5 bumper cases.

The finish is peeling, and they have staining and discoloration.
There are better cases out there for cheaper. The only thing this one had going for it was the Nexus branding on it, but if the quality is crap there's no point.

I'm on the fence because it seems like it adds a bit of bulk. I used to have a Spigen case for my old Nexus 5 and loved it (great quality product) so I'm very tempted to get this.

Mine came a couple of days ago. It looks amazing and feels great in the hand, as the device is so thin and light the added bulk doesn't make it feel any more bulky plus it actually feels a lot more solid to hold. My only disappointment is how big it looks from the front, but it isn't too bad and I suspect over time I'll get use to it.
My favourite part of the case is that they've done a great job with the slider cut-out, I struggled to use the switch in the case that comes with the phone but with this it's nice and easy!

I received yesterday my red silicone case from Oneplus. I would like to know if anyone knows how to make it less sticky because when i put it in my pocket it collects litter...
By the way i'm thinking about buying a Spigen case but the postage from Spigen is more expensive than the case. Anyone in the UK that can buy one from ebay (£5,99) and then send it to me in Portugal? The cost to send it by RoyalMail International Standard is £2.45. Of course i would send the money first by bank transfer.
Regards
Received mine two days ago; I love it! The case that came with the phone was too flimsy and a little loose. It was basically there just so the rear glass doesn't get fingerprints. It offered very little to no protection. I'm loving the Spigen case as it gives a much better grip, and isn't very bulky either. The phone is too slim for my taste, anyway. I prefer a better grip any day. With the Spigen case, the phone looks like an oversized iPod touch. (Source: my friend's iPod touch.) So, not bad at all.
it make the phone HUGE
awesome. love it. will definitely buy one. thanks for you video review:good:
Can anyone use this on white opx ? I want to see.. Plz help me out
