Hi, are there any suggestions on cases I should get from eBay that are thin and protects the front? I might get a bumper or just whatever... Any suggestions?

No thin case will totally protect the phone from drops. Just my .02
Total protection = bulky cases.
What you need to look for is something that the inside edges are noticeably raised on the front.
I like my Trident Kraken because ita 3 cases in 1. I don't have to make it aa bulky when I dont need it.

This will only help if you drop your phone on a perfectly flat surface as the front lip is not that high. If there is a small rock or the area is uneven at all it most likely won't help. Take if from someone that cracked is screen with a TPU case on it.
Get better protection if your prone to drops. This screen shatters EXTREMELY easy.

i just ditched my otter box commuter for a body glove tactic case. offers about the same protection but feels less bulkier. the buttons aren't a p.I.t.a. to press either

I know it's a personal preference. I would like to know your recommendation on cases. I would like to protect my Captivate from hard accidental drops.
Link to the product would be awesome!
Thanks.

Since you have, or are getting, is that case rubbery? Hoping to find one that slides in and out of pocket easily..
+1 to the Otterbox commuter. I have the bodyglove, the amzer argyle tpu and a silicone ebay special... The Otterbox is my favorite overall. The plastic piece that snaps on over the silicone skin makes it pretty smooth in and out of the jeans pocket...

Thanks for both your comments and those pictures are great! Convinced and ordered.
I currently have the bodyglove case and like it enough to wait till the defender case comes out. I really want the defender case. Can't go wrong with otterbox either way though.

I have the Samsung's Flip Cover which I like, but the corners are not protected at all.
I was trying to find a TPU back cover that is compatible with this Flip Cover without making any modifications to either the Flip Cover nor the TPU case.
Any luck anyone?
Thanks!

you'll need to modify one or the other.
just cut a bit off the side of tpu case. the folding part of the flip case doesnt exactly go corner to corner so you can still leave enough protection for the corners.

here's one ive modified for my device.
the friction of the tpu gel case means it doesnt slide, meaning i can use the flip cover as a stand. it still offers sufficient protection for the corners and for the display.
Souai,
Where did you get that specific TPU cover?
I like your idea and plan on doing it when my Samsung flip case arrives.

the TPU cover i bought was this one.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayI...99&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:AU:1123#ht_500wt_1180
i didnt like the S curve ones, but i like how this one is plain and simple.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Black-TP...ccessories&hash=item27c1689109#ht_2916wt_1018
this one is one that i am buying now. also made of the same material, but has a matt finish so it doesnt attract fingerprints and grease.
This is the Qubits Snap-On case for the GSM Galaxy Nexus.
This does not fit the Verizon LTE version.
It is very similar to the Incipio Feather and the Case-Mate Barely There.
http://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-RUBBE...9UWU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1324590852&sr=8-4
The case fits perfectly and is very snug. The case has a rubberized coating on the inside and outside of the case. There is a small lip on the front of the device for minimal lay-on-the-table design. The side edges are very smooth, but the top and bottom edges are a tiny bit rough. It isn't uncomfortable, and I don't really mind. With this design, the top and bottom are halfway exposed, but comparing with the Feather, it does cover more. The case is fairly thin, but not as thin as the Feather. Basically, this just gives me more grip to hold the phone.
It is only $8.90 with prime shipping, a great value IMO.
BTW I have a skinomi screen protector on at the moment, but will be applying XO Skins very soon.

Figure it was better than creating one in the "want to sell" forums for jusgt one case....Thanks guys...PM if u want this
I got it for only around $5 from Amazon. But after one or two days of usage I found it too slippery. I'm waiting for mesh case they provide more grip IMO
Is there gonna be any mesh cases available?

That one is for the Note, not S3.
First several users are ebay sellers making fake accounts to pawn off their goods...whole thread is totally bogus
theres referrals attached to the links
somebody trying to scam other users into buying something so they can get points
S3 Stand Case
As much as this case is my favourite because of gaming/watching reasons, i really don't like using them. It just kills our phones beautiful design.
Has anyone found a slim bumper similar to the iPhone 4 for the nexus 5? I'm looking for something that can cover the edges and overlap slightly on the front and back. The front and back otherwise would be exposed. Aluminum, tpu, poly carbonate would work.
Something like this maybe:

I used this one in colbalt blue. It's a little raised on the front, not at the back since the Nexus 5 itself is curved. Overall, it offers good protection and does feel slim. However, it doesn't play well with my tempered glass screen protector or my dbrand bumper skins. If you have a back skin the bumper will still fit fine.

That ones pretty nice -- just don't like the joint thing on corner.
I was planning on doing normal screen protector, bumper around the edges, and a skin on the back.
Anyone have a bumper case or know of one?
