Just wanted to share my thoughts with you guys about the cases made by Cruzerlite.
If youre looking for a fair amount of protection for your phone for an even fairer price, look no further than a Cruzerlite TPU case.
Ive been using these now for the past few phones ive had, and always end up with a few of them. If youre not familiar with TPU, it is a flexible plastic that provides a pretty good deal of protection.
Im kind of partial to green, so I opted for the green Bugdroid Circuit case and the Molded XDA Developers Case.

First off, let me say these are both a tight fight, kind of a point where they are a PITA to get on. Both have been on and off many times, and I can say thankfully they are not stretching out like some plastic cases tend to do.
The cut of these cases is also top notch. The power, USB, volume, camera and headset jack cutouts are all perfectly lined up, and do not interfere with plugging in any accessories.
Both have a very interesting design on the back which is recessed, and im sure over time will attract dirt. This is definitely easier seen on the lighter color cases, as a previous white case I had picked up dirt and ink very quickly.
All in all I give the Cruzerlite cases a 9/10, only loosing some points for attracting dirt and, should you choose a painted case eventually the paint coming off to reveal a white plastic case under it.
Final thought, You cant beat it for <$20.

Finally found a case I like, the Momax i Case Pro.
Price was around $11 USD shipped.
Reason I like this case is thick enough for basic protection and thin enough not to add any bulk.
I been looking at some of the slim case, most of them doesnt add protection to the screen side of the phone.
I think this is a great case for people who wants a slimr cases but wants protection to the edge on screen side of the phone.
The edge is made out of soft rubber materials and thin hard plastic.
As you can see the edge that stick out on the screen side is very thin.
Just enough to cover the metal-like that goes around the SGS2 screen.
Rubber button are easy to press.
Back is thick enough for camera screen not to touch a flat surface.

From the photos it appears this picks up dust/lint easily?
Can you say?
I picked up a hybrid TPU case from ebay about a week ago. Since I've had time to review it I wanted to leave some impressions for anyone who is looking at them.
Cost $8 shipped, arrived in only a few days.
This case is very similar to one of the Sprint cases offered except this one has a clear (frosted) hard plastic window instead of a purple one. This is a TPU case so the black bumper area is very soft and flexible (less than silicone but more than plastic). The hard plastic back shows off the textured battery door and logos as well as adds a hard impact protection to the back. This case slides into the pocket very easily, much more than silicone cases do, and looks very close to the phone when it is caseless.
Pros:
much easier to grip than caseless phone
adds minimal thickness
has a lip that protects glass when phone is face down
cut-outs are exact
almost looks caseless
cheap!
Cons:
seam on side where front and rear of case are fused
volume power buttons are covered and the smooth controls can difficult to feel
smooth black finish can appear cheap

thickness in mm?
Hi thanks for the pics, looks nice...how much is the thickness of the case itself in mm?
I'm guessing it's this one:

I like the idea of the flip case but the Nillkin TPU case I think will provide more protection other than a screen. I find the phone to be slippery without a case and therefore with the flip case I think it will pretty much will be the same (maybe not). Can you give me some pros and cons of each?
I have the flip case.
Pros: Looks good, no bulk
Cons: No protection from the sides or back, nothing holds the cover to protect the screen if dropped. Finally, the glue on the sides starts to wear out, the skin becomes lose with use. I posted a pick of it earlier

Thanks, I ordered the Nillking case. It's cheap enough that I can always get something else if I don't like it. Thanks again.
Do this...You can have both

This is a Review of Cruzerlite Bugdroid and Flame TPU cases for S5. http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/samsung/galaxy-s5/bugdroid-circuit-tpu-case-for-galaxy-s5 and http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/samsung/galaxy-s5/flame-case-for-galaxy-s5
I know what you are going to say, uh, another TPU case for under $10. Probably true with a lot of other generic or re-branded cheap TPU cases. But this is Cruzerlite, and it's actually a quality with a precise fitment, great workmanship details (like all smooth rounded cutouts), and perfect alignment with all the ports. I have tested and used their cases with my other phones in the past, and was always satisfied with it. The color doesn't fade or gets "leaked" on to a white battery cover. They offer a nice thicker bumper with a decent lip to keep the screen off the surface when faced down, as well as a grip on the back to keep it from sliding off the table when placed face up. I would still consider it a light duty case, but it will give you a piece of mind if you drop it down indoors and in some situations outdoors. The bumper actually absorbs some shock to protect your phone. Plus, it fits well even if you have a tempered glass screen protector, and also it's easy in and out of the pocket. And of course, everybody who is familiar with Cruzerlite cases know they stand out with a cool design, Bugdroid being my personal favorite. Btw, Cruzerlite also makes really cool Android themed Plushies (I reviewed one in the past). Makes a cool present for anybody
Ok, here are the pictures.

IMAK Transparent Crystal Clear Hard Cover Case Shell Compatible for OnePlus On... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L4APLTA/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_awdm_KudYtb0155H8V
I ordered the above case from Amazon due to Prime shipping. Below are a few quick thoughts and photos. Photos are not the best but should give you an idea of fit.
It is exactly as advertised, a clear hard snap on case. I tend to prefer no case or a thin TPU, but at least with this case I can see the phone(I hate covering a phone with a bulky case). Even though I prefer no case, this one does look good on the phone.
Pros:
-Cut outs for power and volume are tight, but even with my sausage fingers I can hit them easily.
-looks great
-good build quality
-fits perfectly
-cheap $10 shipped
Cons:
-goes without saying but minimal protection
-biggest gripe I have, the lip on each side is equal in height to the screen. So no sitting the phone face down.
-company stamped their logo on the back. It is small so I don't mind, but it looks like a drunk cross eyed person did it. It is off center and crooked. I will have to figure out a way to rub it off it is that bad.

Does the case interfere with the flash when you use it?
I've bought one too. Now the wait begins.
