Anybody has experience with the Case-Mate Barely There for Xoom

I'm looking to buy this as it seems it is the only solution out there that is non-leather.
Or am I wrong, is there any other non-leather cases out there that can be considered?

Any type of gel case. Tpu is the best material for cases imo. I have a leather case for going out. And I plan to buy a tpu case for inside use.

Take a look at the incipio feather thread below. I put on a description and some snaps of my barely there case. I think it is a very well made minimalistic case/back covering. Thoroughly recommend it if its the style of case you're looking for.

thx, yea I think the incipio case may better suit my needs

Body Glove

Will Body Glove make a case like the captivate mirage tpu flexible for the S2?

Just buy a trident

No, the tirdent isnt low profile and is not thin like the bodyglove is there or will there be a case similar to it?

I would recommend the TPU rubber skins. Since I can't post links yet here is the exact name for Amazon:
TPU Rubber skin Case for T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989, Black
I have it myself and it's all you need. Very low profile and helps you get a good grip on the phone. It's also plastic, not just rubber, so it adds some more protection. 10/10

If you wan't something thin just stick to no case, it will offer virtually the same protection from drops

I've had bad luck with Body Gloves cases. I had one on my HD2 and it really hurt the thing more than it helped. It ended up scratching the back REALLY bad and then the kickstand broke as well.

thanks for the help i will just buy the TPU case!

[Poll] Which case is better?

Hi guys,
I am looking for a case for a new Galaxy Nexus I bought..
I would like to request answers with advantages and disadvantages for the following cases:
* SGP Ultra Hybrid
* SGP Neo Hybrid
* Diztronic Matte Back Black / Smoke
I must say - I am working in a really rough place - this is why I need a slim and yet really though case
And I currently own a Galaxy S2 with SGP Neo Hybrid case - and I was pretty impressed by its greatness of protecting my phone
But I would like to acquire a case that is a one piece and not two pieces
BTW - please vote on my poll
Thanks in advanced,
Din.

I have the diztronic case and I can say that it does a good job of protecting the phone while still feeling slim in the hand. I can't speak for the SGP as I've never tried one.

I recommend either the ultra hybrid or ultra capsule. They're light , durable, and stylish. Had them both

Diztronic case here also. Great slim case for the price. Nice fit also even with 2000mah extended battery.

Thanks for the comments so far,
One thing I didn't mention - the price isn't my concern..
Please - more comments..

The ultra hybrid or ultra capsule cases...anybody have a link I never hear of those??

here - ultra hybrid:

you can find the others in their website

I'm using a cruzerlite right now and love it. The colors they provide, the protection you get, and the soft case that doesn't make it that much bulkier. The only thing is that it's been pushing up on my screen protector..

thank you..looks good..i,m really liking the Mercury tpu cases..waiting for my yelow one to arrive

the diztronic has more lip on it so I would go that route for slightly better protection. the mercury TPU cases are also really nice but they only fit the GSM variants.

I have the Dizitronic case as well. I have some others that I use but that is my primary one. Provides a decent amount of protection and doesn't add much bulk - I like the lip on it as well because I can set the phone down on its face without any concern.
If you want something that is more 'tough' might want to check out the Incipio Silicrylic cases as well. Dual layer so will probably handle a drop better than these TPU style cases. I use that for days when I am being active (running, hiking, etc).

Yup..i know,thats what I have..GSM..the Future :]

i have the Ultra hybrid and while it doesnt provide that much protection you arent going to find a thin case that offers any true protection, If you want a protective case i would go with the Kraken or Otterbox or something of the like. Otherwise the fit and design of the Ultra Hybrid is absolutely perfect if you have a GSM phone it provides good protection for cosmetic damage and has a small lip which provides some level of protection when you place the phone screen side down.
the Ultrahybrid also does not attract lint nor does it stick in your pocket like some other TPU/silicon cases. I personally recommend the ultrahybrid if you are going for a minimalist case.
The Neohybrid is one i would definitely stay away from especially if you use multiple batteries and need to pull the phone out of the case alot. Over time the silicon sleeve will become loose and just wont fit your phone nice and snug as it had before.
hope this helps.
- Cheers

I have neo hybrid and kraken. Kraken is like wearing a suit of armor. Its huge and heavy but a great case. I have the neo on it now and love it. Light, grips well and looks nice.
From the mind of Minolta

Recommended cases?

Anyone recommend which is the best (hopefully cheap) case out for the G3 at the moment? I'd preferably be after one that protects the device from drops and knocks well, instead of those silly leather flip ones that serve no purpose :laugh:

spigen slim armor

As above I managed to get a no antenna version for my European version, got it in gunmetal and black perfect case, nicely made no mould lines looks more expensive that it actually is

I'm using a Spigen Slim Armor as well. Already saved my phone from a 2 foot drop onto concrete.

Same, using a counterfeit Spigen Slim Armor... it costs only 2,99$ and also i compared it to the original one and it's identic.

Any $4 one on Ebay.

Isn't the slim armor slippery though? I've read that the ultra fit is not.
Anyway, for now I'm using the caseology slim fit bumper, but may replace it with the big droid.

Yes, it is. But the Otterbox Commuter I used on my SGS3 was slippery as well, so I'm used to it.

So far 2 cases I have used that I am very satisfied.
First is the Spigen Slim Armour as alot of people here pointed. It offers good all round protection with a slight increase in bulk. Build quality is very good and looks damn sleek. Only cons are the back portion is very very slippery so you have to be careful, and it's also kinda expensive.
Second is the Imak air jacket. Very slim transparent case, allows you to retain the ergonomics and design of the phone. Build quality is excellent but doesn't offer as much protection.

I've used both a Spigen Slim Armor and an Ultra Hybrid and while I can recommend both, I'd go with the Slim. Both are a both slippery though.

Just for reference the black slim armor is a soft touch rubber feel which isn't as slippery as the colour options

http://www.ebay.com/itm/191248490864?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Best case I've ever owned:
1. Completely transparent
2. Hard, but flexible
3. Thinner than 90% of other cases out there - doesn't add more bulk than needed
4. Envelopes the whole phone (all edges and corners, laps over the face and ridges out a good 2mm)
The only 2 negatives:
1. It could be slippery if your hands are oily/moist
2. Missing the fuzzy soft touch rubber feel

I have the Spigen slim armor and it seems ok, although the fit isn't as snug as i would like. I just got the LG quick circle case which has apps that you can use with the circle, although it's not much for protecting the phone. Still... It's something different than other devices.

Slim Armor
I have the black Spigen Slim Armor and I like it. It offers good protection, isn't too slick although could be stickier, and doesn't add much bulk.

[Q] I need a new case. Any recommendations?

So as per thread title. Im after a new case i have a Spigen Ultra Hybrid which i HATE the buttons on now. Theyre too annoying to use being rubber and huge.
I am looking at a case with more solid buttons which basically cover the standard ones?
Is there anything out there which may suit my needs

Using spigen neo hybrid.. I like the case.. slim armor is also cool though a bit bulky..

Incipio dual pro. The exterior layer has a similar texture to the phone. Great protection. Minimal bulk.
