Ebay TPU Hybrid Case - Pictures

I received the Clear TPU case from eBay today. I had the same one on my Vibrant. It fits great, but there are no cutouts for volume rocker or power button. Got it for $10 USD shipped.

Have the same thing but took it out at once because it was so hard to access the power button and volume rocker! IMO, the best case right now is the one from body glove sold @ tmobile! Has a more pronounced rubber volume and power buttons!

Hey Thanks for the pics.
How is the feeling of the phone with the case on compared to it off in terms of size and feel in hand?

The power and volume buttons are harder to press but the pros of protection override the inconvenience.
In terms of size, it does add a bit of bulk bit not enough to bother me. You can still pocket it and it looks great. I can hold it more securely as well, I dont feel like i will drop this sucker now. Over all for ten bucks its worth it. Highly recommend.

Thanx for posting, I had a similar Aquaflex for my sensation.........Can't go wrong with these, and I dig the fact that the power buttons and vol rocker are covered.

Thanks for the pics! I just ordered this case yesterday and it's nice to see how it fits and looks before receiving it. I had a similar case for my HTC G2 (Desire Z) and I cut parallel slits next to the power button with my Xacto knife to make it easier to push. Works great!

I did the same thing with my HD7 a while back (cut parallel slits for both power and volume rocker).

I just ordered this one with expedited shipping for under $15. You have to select 'wireless central' as the seller on amazon to get the option for expedited shipping.
Thanks for the feedback on this guys. I've been eyeing this case since Wednesday when I got this beast. I keep seeing visions of SGS2 + concrete in my head......

I just received the exact came case in the mail yesterday. Good case, but a little tough to press the volume and power buttons. It also is a bit slick, the phone has fallen out of my pocket when sitting a few times already.

That's one of the beauties about our phone in that it being so thin, a case will even it out perfectly.
Unlike other phones like the MT4GS that was thick already, when I put a case on it it was a brick. Not the case here with ours...
Very fortunate.

im waiting for the d30 case seems like bad-ass case im using a cheap ebay case for now

I just put on a T-mo brand screen protector and the case makes the edges of the protector come up...blows. On another note, the protectors from the T-mo store go on VERY well. I have zero bubbles or debris under the plastic.

Yeah, I have the same problem too. Can't seem to get right top edge to lay down without moving the top corner of the D30 case up. Oh well, this is just a temporary one till I get a Zagg or something comparable.

Yeah I'm pretty partial to Zagg, had one on my Evo as well as Sensation and never ever hand a issue with them. I'll be ordering a Zagg shortly and I'll report back once I have it on. I'll probably end up switching cases though too as I don't like how hard it is to press both the power and volume buttons with the D30 case. Otherwise it's really a great case, I just think once all the other players start getting their cases out, they'll be a better buy.

Case for my S3

Hi guys, I spent a lot of time searching for a case for my white galaxy s3 but could not decide on one. Can someone please suggest me one. My requirements are:
1) It should not add a lot of bulk as I will be carring it in my pocket
2) Its ok if it is not one of those heavy duty ones like otterbox as I do not drop my phone.
3) I need the power and volume buttons to be useable and the cut outs to align properly.
4) A soft case would be preferred as I do not want to scratch the sides on my phone.
Thanks in advance

Look here, great cases. http://www.cruzerlite.com/

yup theres plenty of thread..all you need to do is gather the info on which suits your needs. I have the Black UAG on my white gs3. Wifey has the Ballistic SG (not maxx version) and i think i like hers better cuz of the rubber bumpers. Over all great cases. But hit the search tab. Gl on the find

I would recommend getting a diztronic tpu case from amazon. They are thin, have a lip to protect the screen when face down, and are around ten dollars. I love mine.

I'd say get an Urban Armor Gear case but it sounds like it adds a little more bulk than you want. Still it doesn't add that much more bulk and it fits in my pocket just fine.

UAG gear VS OtterBox Commutor

Hello,
With this topic i would like to ask out of these 2 populair cases wich one is best in your honest opinion?
In my opinion i think so far the UAG is alot more nice and maybe a bit less thick,
But maybe the Commutor is alot more Durable and better against drops? But also a bit uglyer than the UAG.
I am still struggling just due i think it has to be good against drops, Due thats whats a case is for obviously.
I hope you can help me out of this and probably other users aswell since i doubt i am the only one ^^
Best regards,
DrLuigi

Or of course if you have another case wich isnt above 35-40 dollar please say so ^^
But i think these two are the best around for this price tag.

I tried out the commuter at a bestbuy and while the case feels nice. the buttons are insanely hard to press. You have to really press it really hard and you don't get feedback so you don't know if you pressed it or not until the screen reacts.
Other members here have said that it eases up over time but not that much.
I personally have the ballistic sg and it seems to be the nicest for me. (not the maxx, just the sg)

Yeah,
Heard the same thing about buttons, But not becoming lose at all, is what i heard,
Also it just doesnt seem nice anyhow, But its very strong i have heard against drops.
Also i have to say that case seems nice,
But i do think Urban one does look nicer,
But idk about being good against drops or anything.

Trident Case has a few rugged options and I heard they are coming out with a charging case too. They range from $35-$50 but they are having a sale, 25% off everything.

I have the commuter. Highly recommend it for protection. It has saved my phone from so many drops.I think some people exaggerate on how hard the buttons are to press. Yes you have to press them a little harder but not much. I just ordered a Uag case since i heard so many great things about them. Either way I don't you can go wrong with either case.

Any idea when it should arrive?
Just so you could tell us maybe how you think it is?
For example so you could tell us wich one you would prefer as first case?
Due the chance is pretty high i get both aswell (Well or something else ofc like a Power Charge case) , but the second will be for over like 3-4 months so ye
Thanks for the help everyone ^^

For Otterbox commuter and Ballistic SG case, please have a look to my thread as I had deeply compare both. For UAG, there is a thread with more 200k view about the case. It's base on your personal preference. If you want your phone to be protected well (with dust cover), then get a Otterbox Commuter(Dont worry about the button, it will getting better after few weeks of use). If you want a unique looking, protective and less bulky case, then get a UAG case. Currently, commuter is much more cheaper than the UAG. I owned 3 of these ultimate protective case, I guarantee that you wont regret if you get either one. But personally, I recommended UAG..^^

Hai,
Thanks for the explaination,
Did not know there were such topics already there sry ^^
But i also just wanted to know wich one would be better when talking about Quality/Drop/being pretty.
Anyhow ^^
If anyone knows also a pretty cool case please repley ^^
I probably think to buy UAG first, Afterwards perhaps a Otterbox for when i do other stuff that it would be more common it to fall etc etc.
Best regards,
DrLuigi.

Btw how thick is that UAG case?
Since it seems on picture pretty reasonable thin,
But wanted to ask ye first ^^
Also is the back panel plastic smooth or grippy or?
Thanks ^^

I have the aviator UAG. Color isn't great, Gunna get the blue one instead sooner or later. As far as everything goes, great protection, solid feel, all around good quality. Little slippery on the back tho.

So I just got my UAG case and I love it. It does feel a little slimmer than the commuter. I feel as if it is a bit less protection from the otterbox, but it feels so much better in the hands. I saw a drop test on youtube with this case and seems pretty good.
Sent from Flip's S3

I have both and I always find myself going back to my UAG. It fits better in my opinion and has a much thinner profile. The small raised areas on the back corners help it from sliding around when its on its backside on a flat surface. The otterbox on the other hand is slicker they the naked phone itself. The UAG also comes in and out of pocket easier. Lol my advice is extremely one sided, but its some food for thought.

I personally am a otterbox fan I currently have the following otterbox cases for the s3
-gun metal grey / white defender
-orange / black / realtree camo defender
-red / black defender
-white / gunmetal commuter
-purple / pink commuter
I switch these cases out like switchimg out my underwear
YES THE COMMUTER CASE at first is hard to press the buttoms but the more you use it the better and easier it becomes
I also love otterbox customer service always friendly and have no problem exchanging out your case for you or trying to work out something

Ok so I think I got a defective UAG case. The power button on the case gets stuck when I push a little too hard which sends my phone in a bunch of bootloops. Contacted the seller and hopefully I get a replacement

Don't know which case + screen protector to order (my picks + questions)

So I'll be getting the Nexus 5 pretty soon and I want to order my case and my screen protector as soon as possilbe.
Im currently using a gs3 with an otterbox commuter + zagg invisibleshield HD. Never had problems with this combination although I don't care much for otterbox I think they're overrated and partially crap. Nevermind why, let's jump into the Nexus 5 stuff.
So as for the cases... I wanted to order one of the following but here's why I have doubts:
http://www.amazon.com/TEXTURE-Non-S...qid=1384020752&sr=8-3&keywords=spigen+nexus+5
All reviews on Amazon and Reddit say that this case will scratch the n5 when I'll take it off or put it on because it has sharp edges.
Not only this Spigen version but the same goes for the Ringke version.
So I don't really know wether to order it or not. If so, which one and why? Basically I love them both because I need a slim case.
My other choise was the Neo hybrid:
http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-Google...044&sr=1-1&keywords=spigen+nexus+5+neo+hybrid
I want it very much but I've read it adds a lot of bulkness to the phone. Also the volume and power buttons are not very easily accessible..
Is that true?
My screen protection choises:
the steinheil by Spigen:
http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-Protec...sr=8-3-fkmr0&keywords=spigen+glass+tr+nexus+5
I have nothing bad to say about since everyone are ordering my other choise which is Glas.tR. I don't think I can buy the Glas.tR because I can't find anyone that ships to my country. So I decided to maybe go with the Steinheil protector. Any thoughts?
Thanks guys.

i use the neo hybrid spigen case and it rocks. really tight fit, it really is a quality case. i dont have a screen protector yet but honestly just get a cheap one theyre all pretty similar.

They are easy to press, but they are very loose and rattle more than the original buttons themselves.

Yeah the buttons are very easy to press. Lots of people don't like them but I really do. They feel snappy and responsive.

[VIDEO] Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case Review / First Look - Google Nexus 5

When I purchase a device, I'm on the search for some protection immediately. This case was available for purchase around the release date of the Nexus 5 so I jumped on it and the GLAS.tR (installed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HIWv8zNgXpY).
For $10 I can't complain much about the case. It doesn't add too much bulk and keeps the phone safe under most situations. The buttons are easy to push, however some have mentioned they are too easy to push.
While playing games in landscape mode, it hasn't solved my personal issue with covering up the speaker on accident. A case would require a lot of padding around this area to fix that.
This case is only available through Amazon. I'll add the direct link if requested.

Thank for this video

Decent video but arrgh! the corner of your screen protector was bugging me. Did the case do that or was it already like that?

I got my case two days ago.
I must say, overall, the case is very nice.
I love the way the buttons are so easily pressed with little effort, feels great.
Only real problem I've found is that the headphone opening will not accommodate my AudioTechnica m50 over sized 3.5 mm jack. I'l started to file the opening to make it larger so I can fit my headphones plug.
A bit disappointing for a very nice case, but I can live with it.

Could anyone recommend on a good and not expensive headset that can fir with this case?

Looks like I might grab one of these.
Do you know this compares to the rearth ringke fusion (particularly the side buttons)?
I remember the ringke case for the nexus 4 was notorious for being hard to push.

Does this case get scratched easily since it's transparent and plastic I'm guessing. Also are there any other cases available with similar design just a frosted translucent back?? I'm looking for such a case for my phone

The buttons are actually really easy to push. In the beginning I almost felt the case was pushing down on the buttons. Any slight breeze of your finger over the power and it would depress. Over time I think that quit though.
I've never tried that other case.

Just asked my wife and she said it didn't scratch too easily. I'm checking out cases for the S5, and apparently not all clear backs scratch too easily. There's one company (no Nexus 5 case) that has a clear hard back with a rubbery feel too it. My 1 year old daughter test it out and it does a good job of resisting scratches.
