I just saw that case mate now has the pop case available for the ET. I am debating pulling the trigger on one of these instead of the barely there aluminum one.

like the stand, but
notice they don't show a true side view, I'm thinking this thing adds some width
I'm debating between this and the Tough cases... I want something still light and thin.
I am kind of sitting tight at the moment looking at what is out there. Right now the only one I have seen that has a holster to fit it is the combo that sprint has. I will probably wait until seidio releases their surface combo. But it is nice to see that more and more cases are starting to show up.
this case was already video reviewed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1292253
The reviewer just keeps repeating "it is white", "that's the case"...thanks for the insight....
It does look a lot thicker, sticking with my TPU for now.
this is the case I've decided on. I love the thin phone and all that.. but I do actually prefer a little bulk to hold on to when I game, plus this looks like it adds a good amount of protection plus a stand to boot. I wish either otterbox or trident would make a case but this will due in the meantime
The one from boxwave looks very similar to this one.

I think that's just the tpu case that's like 3 bucks on ebay.

lol, yeah he does. but the video shows some angles not seen in pics. I'm also not sold on it just yet. I like my tpu high gloss black a lot, but want something white with a kick stand. just not sure if this is it.

I just ordered this from the CM website (carbon/black). $35 was more than I wanted to spend but I didn't buy insurance for my ET4G so I don't want to wait any longer and possibly drop it. Looks good though. I wanted something that covered all sides of the phone.
I think this will be the case I get. I'd like to see some comparison with other cases like the TPU one.
We offer both the Tough Series and the Pop! Series in our shop for this product. Ironically, the Pop! case does add a little more "beef-ier" stance to the phone versus the Tough case.
We just got our paws on the Tough Cases in Black and Black/Pink along with some Barely There Series cases in Black, Pink and White
I have this case, the matte black tpu one, and the carbon fiber kickstand case as well. I really like this case, however if u are one who really likes the thinness of your GS2 then this case is not for you. It does add considerable bulk to the phone and with it having a 4.52" screen already, the pop case turns it into a beast. But don't forget that it also adds great protection to your investment. I like how the pop case is only one piece, and not two layers that guy together on your phone. The inner rubberized layer should add great cushion to any drop your phone experiences, along with the built in gorilla glass spoils make your phone indestructible. I also enjoy the pleasing aesthetic that this case offers with its white/grey color scheme, as it's likely the reason i choose this case over the case-mate tough case.

Where are the Barely There Black Aluminium ones? I ordered a black but got a silver.

Just got this case in the mail today. It definitely adds some size to an already large phone. Overall I'm happy with it though and it's much easier to get a grip on it for sure. Also the phone seems practically indestructible with this case. If protecting your phone is the top priority this is for you. The only complaint I have is that the kickstand is a bit flimsy since its a pretty soft plastic. I'd like to see if Casemate decides to make a brushed metal barely there case with a kickstand. I'd buy one if they do.
I love this case. It does double the thickness of the phone but its no worse than an evo in a commuter.

Yeah the trade off is worth it to have it protected IMO. Feels really solid but not bulky. When i pull it out people are always like what the hell is that? Whoa the screens huge! Haha.

What are you looking for in a case? Obviously you like it to be white, but what else?

Good protection, easy to remove, looks good and that it will feel good in the hand while not adding bulk to the device I like it thin.
The first case looks like it would add a fair amount of protection, and it's also aesthetically pleasing. It looks like it may add a tiny bit of bulk though; although, it might make it a little more pleasing to hold.
The second case doesn't seem that it would offer a lot of protection, but the holster is definitely a plus, and the case is fairly slim.

If you like it thin, then cross that first option off the list. Duo layered "hybrid" cases aren't thin by design. The thinnest I know, is from Seidio, with very nice in-hand feel and good protection.
The other white case with the holster won't offer you top or bottom protection if you ever drop it. So cross that off as well.
If you want single layer solution, you should consider TPU, it's a popular choice for a reason (beside price). CruzerLite and Diztronic are good options. CruzerLite's Androidified cases are noticeable thinner than Diztronic's classy version, but both are recommended. I wouldn't recommend any white TPU though, since they love to suck up color that rubs against them.
What I'm currently using now is a bumper case. There's a few threads about it. My version did have the TPU separation problem, but once I've placed a few dabs of superglue on area, I've experienced only satisfaction with the case. Here's the eBay page for it. I bought one copy from a similar seller, and a couple more from an online website that have stopped offering them. Needless to say, price have risen up a bit since when I bought them last.

Thanks that's kinda what i want but for the VZW model
I bought a case which looks very similar to the first one off amazon which fit very loose. I tossed the case out the day I got it. The phone was literally falling out of the case.
A link to the one i bought. Dont get it.

I have the VZW GNex. The bumper fits just fine. The top rim doesn't completely fold over onto the screen, but unless you're super OCD, it's negligible. The overall feel of the phone + case won me over. You should at least try it. For only 3 bucks (when I bought it), it's a great case for me.
If I have a case I'd like it to be the absolute thinnest possible so it doesn't detract from the great feel of the Moto X.
Are there any cases out there thinner than either the Incipio Feather or Casemate Barely There?

+1 on this. Nice, thin case...not terribly protective. I have the same case but it has "Anker" branding on it. Got it off Amazon and I believe a few different companies sell them.

Agree re protection, but that's what you trade for "ultra thin". It protects the corners and the back. If you drop it from less than a foot the screen will probably be ok from the raised edges as well.
I swap out my thin "sand" case for the Griffin when I go to the gym (where I have a greater chance to drop the X much harder and/or have it go flying off the cardio machine!). The nice thing about both my X cases is that they are very quick to change on the fly.
Both look pretty good. Which are you guys going with?
I have both and I really like the bellroy case. This is the first leather case I've ever had and I've got to say it feels good in the hands. Not a lot if bull either and I like how it covers all the edges instead of the fabric case being open at the Port. This year's fabric case however feels much nicer then the pixel 2 one. I feel the cases both add about the same bulk so either way I think that's okay. The leather one is offers a little more grip thou. If you have a TGSP applied the cases sit flush with that so they both feel great.
Thanks for the info. I'll probably go Bellroy then.
I have both, and like both. I kinda like the fabric one better because it's different. Bellroy might be better protection as it has a slight front lip that is non-existent on the fabric.
One observation I have is that the fabric case feels and looks like a pair of jeans, the leather of course feels and looks like leather. This gives me the feeling of more expensive versus less expensive. Nor sure if this matters or if you'd get the same vibe but it's there for me.
I have both cases as well. I prefer the bellroy as it has a raise lip around the edges to protect the screen. Also to me for some reason the bellroy just fits my hand better and feels just slightly slimmer. The fabric case feels wider and the fabric seems less grippy in my hand.

In my opinion the Google Case is far to expensive, very poor protection due to the huge outlets, not covering the edges of the screen, cheap plastic.
All for 45 bugs.
You´ll get an ugly UAG for the same prize, bullet proof however.

Amazing hand crafted leather cases, outstanding quality and finish.
"Available soon for the Pixel 3"
I have the google case and don't think i will ever change it. Maybe not the best protection but i almost never drop my phone and the feel is premium and very good when you hold the phone. Very satisfied.
Just throwing out that Nomad is also an option. Got one for my Pixel 3 XL and I'm loving it so far.

Love my nomad too! Expensive but great quality as far as i can tell!
I have both and like them equally. Both are slim and feel great. Fabric is improved over last year as I had one for my 2xl. The bellroy is also better after reading reviews from last year and seeing the improvements that the company made.
I just received a new case from simply carbon fiber and it's also sweet. Looks and feels great. So now I have 3 cases that I really enjoy and for a phone that deserves it.

I'm on the fence between the Nomad and the Bellroy. I've held the Bellroy and loved the feel and the leather wrapping around the sides, but the buttons were a little stiff. I've not seen the Nomad in person, but there appears to be more of a raised edge protecting the screen and it just looks more protective overall. I've heard the button feel is good and the leather looks more natural. I'm currently using a Google Fabric case which appears to have minimal protection, other than slight bumps and scratches on the back.

Sorry, but your link isn't working.
Anyone care for pictures of your cases? Most product pictures are touched and photoshopped... Interested in the Bellroy and the stock Pixel fibre case (carbon or indigo)...
I have the Bellroy leather case. It's ok...
However, I would suggest searching this case on EBay...
X-LEVEL For Google Pixel 3 XL Luxury Retro Leather UltraThin Back Case Cover NEW... it's 9 bucks, and is extremely well made. If you have ever seen the samsung slim leather case for the s10+, this is similar quality (samsung charges $50). I'll try to post an image...
I'm stunned at how nice this is.
I need to buy a new case for my prism white s10 plus. The UAG SERIES looks impressive. Please suggest one for me. The pathfinder black one seems to be a good choice but I'm confused with the monarch. Also, which color is better in monarch

But paying 1000$ for a phone is pretty sane =)
Have you previously used a UAG case? They look nice on paper but are bulky, uncomfortable to hold and feel like they are made from cheap materials when actually on your phone.
I ordered mine directly from UAG so I know it wasn't a knockoff and I hated it. I expected it to be more like an Otterbox case I guess in terms of providing a comfortable grip. UAG cases are definitely not grippy.
Some people do swear by UAG cases.
Have you looked at supcase? its a good alternative to uag especially if you go with the unicorn beetle series. I currently have one on my s10+ and while it isn't advisable, it has survived a fall from a scaffold at eaves level, with no major damage just a scuff to the the back plastic.
I had a UAG case for my note 8 and it was very uncomfortable in the hand.
I wouldn't say that the supcase is better for comfort just different. It has less pronounced ridges on the back but the sides seem thicker. It has raised rubbery nubs on the back in the corners to stop it sliding. A feature I didn't think would get much use on the supcase case was the kickstand, but I can safely say it is one of my most used features on the case, it is very stiff in the beginning for clipping in and out but with a little use becomes smooth and long lasting. its good as a handle in the hand and ,when standing, supports the phone vertically and horizontally
and it is £30 cheaper still military grade drop tested I highly recommend as I think the build quality is as good if not better than the note 8 case I owned

Yeah it is. Especially when you consider the phone is more technically a powerful multi-core computer which fits in your pocket, that is also capable of making calls...and the case is literally ONLY, a case.
I never have and never will spend more than $20 on a case, when all it is, is just a glorified piece of plastic and rubber.
