I've got one and it is great. Nice fit and finish, offer side and back protection which is all I car about. Feels good in hand too.

i ordered mine last night, should receive it sometime this week!
is the power button cut out so we can use the IR blaster?
Look for pictures - in short yes the IR is fine.
It does not cover the whole phone. Back and sides. Top has a small notch for headphones trimmed out and bottom is open.
Most of these type of cases will always be that way. I think the POETIC case apparently had this issue.
How do you design a case and knowing all the specs and you forget about the IR ?

aaaand... back on topic.
Nice case! I'm still hunting down the perfect case; meanwhile I've just ordered a cheap transparent case for about £3.
I'm tempted by the Nilkin, but the fact that it doesn't protect the top and bottom is a bit off-putting.
Something like the double-dip hard case would be great for me, but I'm just not keen on the colours they used.
I rather like the look of the Urban Armor Gear cases though. I just wish they had it in this colour.

It is, very silky smooth on the sides.
Definitely less slippery than the phone would be on its own.

I like the feel of it. The rigid back and the soft sides is nice. I got the white one. It will probably attract more dirt

The sides of the Nillkin are the smooth rubbery coating like you would find on the back of some of HTC's older phones (ie S710). The back is textured with a pattern, so it isn't the same feeling as the sides. I would say it's definitely less slippery than the phone naked.

Let me start this review just by saying that i love bumper cases. I
have been looking over the internet to find the best bumper case for
our Galaxy s3. I came across this case. Its a STRONG silicone bumper
that completes me in every aspect.
First of all. Its cheap. I think that everyone can try a cheap case
and if they dont like it, they throw it to their dog. (hehehe) Guys,
seriously. this is the best bumper case i have seen over the internet.
Why? It has a nice touch when you are holding your
phone. VERY nice touch. You will want to just hold your phone because
it has a nice feel Second of all: PROTECTION. And i mean it. Front,
back and sides are fully protected.
Front side (screen): the case has a slight bump on the edges so if the
phone drops the floor, its still protected (floor not the road hehe).
Back: Again, the case has a bump on the edges. So if your phone drops
on the back, protected!!! if you want to lay down your phone on a
table: PROTECTED.
Sides: Full protection, which is obvious why: its the case hehe.
Buttons: FULLy accessible button, both power and volume buttons. They
are covered by a soft silicone so there are very easy to press
(compare to the other tpu case i have reviewed)
I dont know if there are more colours available. You must check on
sellers ebay site.
Rating: If this case would be rated its a rock solid 5/5. Believe me
on this. It defenently worths every peny guys. I even compare it with
a TPU bumper case, that i have reviewed last week, amd this is by far
better.
Enjoy the pictures. I tried to take as many as possible.
I will review more bumper cases in the near future so stay tuned.
You can buy this on this link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Simple-Blac...620863?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f1b0aa03f
if you find this review helpful, hit thanks
Nice review! Around the volume rocker it might need a little work but I've already ordered one of these.. 4$ shipped to Canada and it looks decent.
Thanks for the review!

Do you guys mean the material of the case degraded? This is all one-piece right? I was JUST shopping for my first bumper case and saw some aluminum ones that snap or screw together, but it seemed like the TPU ones are just a single piece of material and wrap around the edges.
Its a single piece mate. Plus you dont lose any signal plus its a snap in snap out plus its veryyy cheap
How does this fit with a zag shield?
Galaxy S3 Paranoid ROM.
I think that with the zagg shield you will be ok. The case has already a tight fit so its better not to use extra protection underneeth. I dont think you need zagf shield for the back cover because its already protected from the case.

If it is anything like the one for the Galaxy Nexus (and it appears to be the same), there is a hard plastic material used on the rear portions of the bumper, while the piece which surrounds the screen is flexible rubber. With the GN, the two materials separated.

Thanks for the review, I ended up buying the same one but in white. I'm guessing they come from china because this thing isn't going to arrive for like three weeks haha. Oh well whatever.
My clear diztronic tpu case is starting to turn yellow and blue from my jeans so I really need something else. For three bucks I hope it holds up for a little while.
Do you think the the bezel or screen would get damaged if I dropped it from pocket height and it hit the corner on cement? Just wondering if I should still be extra careful when using this bumper.

hmm thats certainly a much more attractive option.
is the back just clear plastic though? why is the upper right one larger, there's a microphone there isnt there?
the only things that put me off getting a case is that a) the device gets bigger and b) it no longer fits into docks etc.
Case is completely clear except for the sides. And great the hole on the top right is bigger because if the Mic. As far as adding bulk, the case not as thick as you might think. I've seen these cases on the iPhone and it looks really good. I like the fact that its clear and the look of the phone is retained. Personally I just use a case when I'm not home or at work.

If you were to accidentally drop the phone while it had one of those Poetic Borderline cases on it, and it landed flat on its back, would the first thing to hit the floor be part of the bumper or part of the phone?

It's anything but clear in the photos that I've seen. On most phones bumpers certainly will protect the phone if it's dropped on its back, but most phones don't have anywhere near as much curvature on the back of the case as the One has - a bumper would have to stick out a long way at the edge in order to protect the middle.
Oh, in the UK.
Anyone found any without any patterns/frosting/colours which were quite minimalistic like the following:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/FoneM8®-Inc...d=1380384371&sr=8-1&keywords=htc+one+gel+case (HTC One)
I think there is one which is plastic, but I hate those in that they can scratch the phone when putting it on/off.

I got one and I hate it. The fit is not perfect and there is some give and squeak on the left side. There is a cutout beside the camera for no reason whatsoever. There is a cutout on the bottom back for the Xperia logo that is pointless.
The edges are sharp and easily gather dust and skin cells.
I'm waiting for a poetic atmosphere to be released for the Z1 since I loved it on my HTC One.
100% clear case? Even glass (which comes close) has its imperfections, however, I doubt you will find a case that is glass, no such thing you will find!
Neither Perspex, poly-carbonate nor Poly Urethane will give you 100% clarity, your request is unreasonable.
Its 100% clear....are you sure..my friend....????
As this is the first time I am getting to know about such thing which is 100 % clear...well one of my friend use this jelly case for his iPhone...just look at it once and do u feel It is too somewhere around 100 % clear...or how much percent you can give it on behalf of clarity...???
this is what im using. its pretty nice and i can still feel the phone quite a bit.
if you are getting a quality phone whats the point of covering it will thick covers and all you feel is cover.

After using IMAK for a month I got really sick of it. The case has so any scratches you can barely see the phone through. I received Love Mei aluminum bumper yesterday my review is up on YouTube. I really like it so far... even though it does make the phone feel like a square block. I don't think there is a perfect case out there yet. I had Krusell Colorcover before for Xperia Z and the paint comes of and the plastic breaks after a month of normal use. So if I was to choose right now I think the aluminum bumper is the way to go. Then buy a screen protector sticker for the front and back and that should keep you lr phone safe.

Krusell is nice and thin but it wears out very quickly (at least in the case of Colorcover). Do bare in mind that Krusell offers lifetime warranty so once your case breaks you can just send them a proof of purchase and pictures of the broken case and they will send you a replacement. They have sent me 2 brand new cases when my colorcover broke. I put them up for sale though

TERRAPIN : Sony Xperia Z1 TPU Gel Skin Case / Cover
Comes with a ringing recommendation. How's that volume button and access to the magnetic charging ?
Volume seems fine. Hole there for magnet charger access but would need to be a bit longer? Not sure. Would need a good quality one not a cheap one? I cut my cheap one but still not very good.

I got the i-Blason over the weekend and when I came into the office, I had a package waiting for me. It was the case that is kinda confusing to clarify because it's mixed in with other cases on Amazon. To clarify what I wanted, I went straight to the horses mouth and ordered it directly from i-Blason for $7.99USD+shipping.
http://www.i-blason.com/candygel-hybrid-tpu-hard-clear-case-for-google-nexus-5.html
The case, which is tpu is much more malleable/softer than the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. Also the i-Blason is very tpu-ish on it's lip unlike the Spigen UH, where the Spigen is ultra stiff.
When unpackaging the Candygel tpu, I also noticed that the case "looked" smaller than the Spigen UH. And when I was about to put it on, I said to myself, this doesn't look like it's going to fit! LOL. Glad I was wrong.
The case fit like a bodyglove. LOL I mean the case lip is very flexible and forgiving. And keep in mind I have a Spigen screen protector as well so I had to make sure that didn't come up. And thankfully, it did not. :good:
I have been using it and playing with it for a while and I have to say it's a pretty good case! The buttons are there, allbeit, covered, but the buttons now have feedback, compared to the Spigen UH. The volume buttons are also fine as well.
The ONLY fault I can find thus far is that on the bottom of the case has a scuff mark that was most likely done from the molding process, which I can forgive. It doesn't hinder the use of the case, it isn't sharp or uncomfortable because of it. I can even see it, but I know it's there. And I know I'll forget about it on day to day usage. The cut outs on the speaker aren't the best, but it's tpu and again, it isn't horrible, but I can notice it lol. The mic holes are perfectly exposed and just to note, the micro sim tray are covered. The clear back is why I got it. I can sport my dbrand white CF as well, where the other options before were the Spigen UH and Ringke fusion.
For the price, I can recommend this. and plays well with the Spigen screen protector thus far. The TPU makes the phone more form fitting and seems a tad smaller in holding it in my hands.
Anyways, here are some pics...enjoy! Oh and feel free to ask any questions or if you want pics at different angle and stuff like that.
How much bulk does this case add, in terms of height and width and also the thickness of the phone? I've been looking for a slim case to use with my dbrand skin as well, and I've been eyeing this one up.

It's thinner compared to the spigen ultra hybrid if that helps. It's like a tpu case thickness. Meaning not very thick.

I want to say it's actually a bit better than the Spigen UH when it comes to the fingerprint magnet. But saying that, you have to take into account that I have a WHITE cf. That makes the fingerprints invisible and barely visible. But if you hold it at an angle, I can see some, but not as bad as the Spigen UH.

Only in black and mediocre feedback for a power seller in my opinion (98.8%), but it's cheaper if you're in need for the black!

Great review,
That clear back with the white carbon fiber skin under looks very nice!!

Does the clear back attracts fingers smudges and oil? I have a crystal Spigen ultra fit and I hate that about it.

What about scratches ? I just got a Tech21 case for my Nexus 5 and only had a few days and I can already see scratches building up. I am going to return it tomorrow. It does have a clear back which is what I was looking for. Thanks

Well you will eventually get scrathes. I have a white backing on my phone so you cannot see them at all. But looking at it without the phone in it, yes you can see scratches.
If your a Nexus 5 purest or naked lover and are slightly concerned going naked even though you like the feel or if you just dont like bulky cases this could be the case for you and its only 3-4 bucks.
It's .3mm thin covers all sides except the small bottom portion and has all the appropriate cutouts along with the sim cut out and is semi transparent however you can not see the Nexus logo through the black one I have (but you probably could if you had the white N5 or a colored version of the case).
This case is probably not all that protective considering its thinness and has very small lay on the table design and it seems to only lift the rear camera lens a very tiny bit from the surface it rests on from what I can tell so all in all it will only really protect from is scratches and maybe small bumps.
As for feeling. It said it was a TPU but idk about that it doesn't feel like it it feels just like thin plastic, almost like those plastic folders from schools or offices, so it's bendable but not like standard TPU because I'm sure you could crease it if it was bent to much. The surface feels smooth but slightly rough (more smooth than rough) so it isnt as grippy as the naked nexus and can be slippery if your hands are dry. The bulk of it is almost non existent becuse it does really feel like there is nothing on the phone at all it feels the exact same size which is awesome for people that like the size of the phone and it fits pretty snug there's no give when gripping or squeezing the phone.
The only issues I would say it has is that the sides can be a little sharp (probably from the mold) and the bottom open section where your finger rests is kinda sharp too and since its not too too tight of a fit there, your finger can snag that section when you pull it away to readjust your phone. Im sure sanding can alleviate those things, but I have yet to try it. Also since its so thin the Volume and Power are pretty much flush with the cutouts for them so it can be a little hard to feel them.
Here are some pics!
*Notes
-I have a Nilkin Tempered glass Screen protector on
-The pictures of the case were taken with the N5
-The pictures of the phone in the case were taken with a galaxy tab (Thats why they suck) lol But its the best I can do!

oops but dont get snappy I forgot it sorry lol I'll update the post.
Haha awesome, I was on another case buying craze a week or so ago and I ordered these exact cases as well (on Jan 2nd). I'm not a TPU case fan (hardshell all the way), but when I saw .3mm I said screw it, why not? I figured it's basically a skin and not really a case. So it should still appease my "next to nothingness" criteria.
I ordered all of the colors except pink and purple (so like 7 cases :laugh. When I get them I'll do a review with pics as well. I'll add them to your thread or start a new one depending on how long and pic heavy the post ends up being.
Cheers for the initial impressions. :good:

Yea Id call it more a skin aswell but it sounds good to me! Id love to see the other colors and how they look cause I may buy more! haha
So this one has no lip above the screen at all, rather unique for a case. One problem I have with the case lips is they interfere with gesture that use the left/right edge, like moving a shortcut between home screens. Still I would prefer to have lips on top and bottom to protect the screen when I put it upside down.

It does have a lip all around except for the bottom part of the phone. Even with my tempered glass protector there is a very small lip so without it im sure the lip would be more significant.
and there go my efforts to try and control my case addiction...
Bought the white one, why not for not much over £1!

Does it include the screen protector? Or it is sold separately?

Sold seperately
Case looks pretty good, does it scratch the corner of the N5 when you remove it like the Ringke slim does?
From your pics it appears the case is not really see through like the ebay pics make it seem, is that right?

Ordered all 10 colors. It's cheap, looks nice, so why not?
Until now I ordered over 30 cases for my N5. Talk about a case buying craze

Nope it shouldn't because its not a hard plastic its more like a thin aslmost flimsy/rigid/semi-stiff plastic.
And yea the black semi transparent doesnt let the Nexus lettering come through but Im sure with the colored ones it may show a bit easier and the white nexus may show better than the black but I'm not to sure.
