I was watching youtube videos about Galaxy Note with flip cover and while at first i kinda liked how it looks, but later i decided that it isn't comfortable to use the phone with it in a hand

Thought about the flip case, but it doesn't appear to offer any kind of drop protection as it's exposed around the edges.
I don't very often drop my devices but if I do I'd like something like the a gel case around the edges at least.

Sure that's an original, as that one was supposed to come in only two colors?
Flip Cover is a cover for large phones and it was a great product when launched for Galaxy Note. It gives a nice and improved look for Galaxy S3 and you might use it to fool your friends into thinking that you’re holding a book. It is available in two colors so that you can easily match it with your Galaxy S3 model’s color.

wow these look awesome

I always thought that the flip covers are not that good in trying to use 2 hands to type etc.
I would get a hard back cover of some sort, but haven't seen anything appealing...

Yeah think I'll start with one of these, cheap as chips(£6) then see what's good later.

Getting one of these. Cheap & cheerful. Don't know if I'm getting the S3 yet as I am happy with my Note, but want to be prepared. ( Nice to see the trader being honest about the material used )

I'm likely going to do a casemate toughcase again. Have one on the sgs2 and not a bad thing to say about it.

after messing about with the UAG Composite, Seidio Active (which is a lint magnet, pity) and Otterbox's Commuter, i've finally settled with Body Glove's Bodysuit.

and for a quite balanced review, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGs_H1607ao&feature=plcp
the channel contains more case reviews with dimensions thrown in (i think they take measurements at the thickest, widest points of the case)

without question in my personal opinion this is my all time favorite ultra rugged case

I absolutely love this case. I have gotten hybrids like this that are HORRIBLE the trick is to find the one with those 6 arc's on the back. THOSE are the good ones.
I have orange and blue coming in for the S3. I found orange plastic portion but I don't want to pay $16 for it (I got the other 2 for under $10)
I have accidentally "hard core" tested this case twice and hopefully never again. it came through perfectly both times.
Once I saw a wasp go into the gas cover of my metro. I opened the gas cover NEST
cool time for pictures. usually insects ignore you unless you mess with em. Wasp's not the same. they are "proactive"
once I got within about 12" a small squadron of them (5 or 6 of the 11 or so that were their (counted in the picture later) took off right for my hand to teach me the error of my ways.
once I felt the wind from their wings I panicked and ended up flinging the phone into a nice high arc 15ft out into the street !!
not a scratch on it.
another time MORON me stuck the phone on the top lip inisde the van hatch. I forgot I had put it their and proceeded to close the hatch on the phone. The sickening crack I heard I would have sword was my phone segregating into two pieces. right across the screen.
Nope it was just the case crunching. it did its job and protected the phone.
EXTREMELY impressed with these cases and I can get them in almost any color combo I want (just have to buy 2 to get the colors you want
I have this case for every phone I have except my defy xt only because they have not made one for it yet.
unless the bamboo case I ordered really grabs me I will probably end up with this case on my S3 as well. I just love this case
and its CHEAP you can usually get one for $8 or $9 shipped

galaxy s3 hybrid
look for the "arc" on the back side to get the right ones.

I'm happy when others are happy...... I'd never put this on my phone however. It's F'n huge!
Currently not being productive on my S3.

well the way I see it "huge" costs me $8 while "broken phone" costs me $500 easy decision.
I am "rough" with my stuff sometimes.
plus while this is unique to me that is still "small" to me. I am 6'4" 440 pounds size 13-14 shoes.
to me that size is "just right"

It's not a bad case. I had the $4 version on my S3, but without a holster it was stuck in my pocket. So while running around at work it tended to sweat which freaked me out. It lasted a good month until one day I picked it up without the phone in it and the plastic sides cracked. Maybe the more expensive ones are of a higher quality.

yeah I have gotten some that were so cheap I would not even put my phone in them. scary crap out their
I don't like the silicon first cases like the otter box since if anything gets INSIDE the case it will grind away the finish on the phone. this is less likely with hard first.

From what I've heard the dba ultra case is supposed to be pretty rugged
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

well I could not wait. too paranoid so I paid the anal rape price for a case at a store. I refused to pay $20 for a $3 TPU case so I got a nicer case. a SPECK case in green and grey (better than black or white)
Uploading some pictures now
the design of this case is interesting. its almost as slim as a TPU case but it silicon and polycarbonate like a rugged case. I guess I would call it a "slim rugged"
its "one piece" so the two parts are bonded together. cutouts are perfect. the buttons are super tactile and responsive. LOVE the buttons.
would have preferred a brighter color like blue or orange but its better than black or white that is for sure !
I am actually quite impressed with the case. it FEELS wonderful fits tight does not appear as if it will become lose over time thanks to the polycarbonate shell.
if I you are looking for slim instead of full on armor I would definitely consider this case. very well made looks nice and feels nice adding surprisingly little bulk to the phone.

Here are maybe a couple others to consider-
http://www.tech21.uk.com/#
The most rugged tech21 case actually includes their less expensive case inside another shell, it looks like a reverse defender.
The other one I actually just bought but haven't gotten it yet-
http://www.dbacases.com/complete-ultra.aspx
The complete ultra is like the candy shell/hybrids but has a tpu inner instead of a silicone inner, I don't know about protection levels but it definitely looks better than the other hybrid types, maybe a "semi-rugged"?

Amzer Hybrid Kickstand Case for GSM Galaxy Nexus

One of the best and most cost effective cases in my opinion for the GSM Galaxy Nexus.
The Amzer Hybrid Kickstand Case for the GSM Galaxy Nexus.
The Pros:
- Very Good looking. Gives that heavy rugged look to the phone.
- Offers good protection.
- Value for money. Costs only $10.
- Two piece case - Inner TPU Shock absorbing skin + Outer Polycarbonate Shell
- Well fitting, even with extended battery.
- Raised Lip provides protection for screen in case you leave the phone face- down
- Kickstand allows you to raise your phone at an angle to view videos or leave it on your desk as alarm clock. (A good perk)
The Cons
- The TPU Part gets dirty quite easily
- Adds some bulk to the phone.
My Youtube review:

its OOS in amazon, where did you get it from?

you can get it from amzers official website, link here: http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Hybrid-Kickstand-Case-Black-Brown-P94209.htm

Looks a little bulky to me. what with carrying it around in your pocket. I do like the kick stand feature, but I'll keep searching for a case with kick stand that has a good build quality.

[Video Review] Spigen Illuzion for Samsung Galaxy S3

My video review of Spigen SGP's Illuzion for the Galaxy S3. If you're looking for a wallet style case, this is definitely one to check out. Also, if you're considering this vs. CreTouch's Smarllet, I would go with the Illuzion. If you have any questions on the case, leave a comment down below.
Link to purchase($32.99): http://go.alltechunity.com/s3ill
Pros
- Good looking and very vibrant
- Well-designed, high Quality
- Three card slots for credit cards and IDs
- Cutouts for all ports and buttons
Cons
- Somewhat expensive
- No accessories included

Leather Sleeve / Pouch Options?

So I've emailed SENA Cases about their wonderful line of leather products for smartphones & Spigen about their "Crumena" case series -- both of which expressed slightly less than interested responses.
Here's the response I received from SENA :
Thank you for your interest in Sena Cases.
Unfortunately, we currently do not have plans to make that specific case for this device. However, that may change in the future if we receive a high volume of requests. With your consent, we will keep your contact information on file and notify you if and when such a case becomes available.
Sena Cases appreciates your business and apologizes for any inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Randi Weden

And the response I received from Spigen :
Thank you so much for contacting us and we appreciate your patience.
I’ll be more than happy to assist you with your question.
We have actually discontinued most of our leather products, but we are always looking for our customers for greater insight and demands!
Thank you so much for reaching out to us to express your interest in our Crumena case, we will definitely take note of it and let our developers know.
If you have any comments or suggestions, you can also go on our Facebook or Twitter to voice your thoughts on new products!

That being said, it looks like neither company will be producing a product for this model in the foreseeable future, so what other options do we have? I looked for phones that had similar dimensions and it seems the GS4 when compared is almost identical, give or take a slight difference.
Nexus - 137.9 x 69.2 x 8.6 mm (5.43 x 2.72 x 0.34 in)
GS4 - 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm (5.38 x 2.75 x 0.31 in)
There are a few cases listed on SENA's website for the GS4 - what do you guys think? Will the sleeves / pouches created for the GS4 work, or should we hold out in hope of a company creating something for the Nexus 5.
Those who prefer the leather cases and have an N5, what are your thoughts?

I just ordered this: http://www.pdair.com/index.php/smartphone-cell-phone-pda/lg/lg-google-nexus-5-d820-d821/leather-case-for-lg-google-nexus-5-d820-d821-vertical-pouch-type-belt-clip-included.html

No belt clip for N5 with a case

This looks to be just what i am looking for. I wonder how snug/tight it is. I prefer cases that have a strap to hold the phone in but this one might have to do i'm having a hard time finding a case for this and i hate not having a case...

So I've emailed SENA Cases about their wonderful line of leather products for smartphones & Spigen about their "Crumena" case series -- both of which expressed slightly less than interested responses.
Here's the response I received from SENA :
And the response I received from Spigen :
That being said, it looks like neither company will be producing a product for this model in the foreseeable future, so what other options do we have? I looked for phones that had similar dimensions and it seems the GS4 when compared is almost identical, give or take a slight difference.
Nexus - 137.9 x 69.2 x 8.6 mm (5.43 x 2.72 x 0.34 in)
GS4 - 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm (5.38 x 2.75 x 0.31 in)
There are a few cases listed on SENA's website for the GS4 - what do you guys think? Will the sleeves / pouches created for the GS4 work, or should we hold out in hope of a company creating something for the Nexus 5.
Those who prefer the leather cases and have an N5, what are your thoughts?

Dodo leather wallets/pouches are also not being made for Nexus 5 which is disappointing. I emailed them when I first got my nexus 5 and they stated they had no plans to make them

I use an HTC pouch designed for the One X and some of the other recent HTC phones:

Cost me about $10 off eBay... I have been using these pouches since I had a HTC Desire. Got the above case for my Galaxy Nexus, and to my surprise it fit the Nexus 5 quite nicely (it was always a bit big on the Galaxy Nexus).
It is a tight fit, but I have an older version of the same case so I know it stretches. The width is fine, but the height is an exact fit, there's no slack at the top end so if you drop it on the exposed side, it won't be well protected.
I'll put photos if anyone is interested...

where could one get this case in canada without paying 2 much for shipping. Not willing to pay the same or more then the case for shipping...

The Bugatti's are nice but seem a little thin

Media Devil Artisan leather pouch - wow
I just got the Media Devil Artisan leather pouch today am I'm totally impressed with the quality for the price... It shipped rather quickly for something coming from jolly old England to Minnesota... I got the black w/black stitching. I'd probably order a second one if I could get it in natural brown leather. I guess I won't be stalking Sena's site anymore waiting for their vapor sleeve.... :laugh:

I have a Dodo Durables for a HTC One sleeve and it will work with the Nexus 5 fine but it's a somewhat tight fit. It will sometimes trigger the power button when inserting/removing the phone. I wish they offered an all leather option - the canvas gets a little floppy with use - probably not as much of an issue when you're using it with the phone it's intended for.
