Has anyone that used the UAG cases for the HTC One;
1. Noticed scratches in the aluminum sides of their phones, after taking it out of the case. (thoughts)
2. Noticed the power button is really hard to use. (thoughts)
I also have this case for the S4 and was wondering if anyone noticed scratches in the sides of that phone too. (Toughts)
Thanks AkWingnut

I got the Aero (blue) one last week. Haven't had any problems with the power or volume buttons. and no scratches on my phone from what I can see. Maybe I got lucky with my case?

For me, using the Aero.
1. No scratch. I take the case off once every few days to clean.
2. The power button is actually easier to press. Easier than the Diztronic case.
1. awsome case, abit bulky though.
2. no scratches.
3. power button is hard to press but the volume rocker is amazing!
4. has problems with flash

Hey guys,
Got my hands on the SGP Ultra Capsule and wanted to bring you a quick video on it. The case itself is made of durable TPU, so while it is flexible, once you put it on the Note, it becomes firm and tough. I love the look and feel of the case, although the buttons are a little hard to press.
Check out the full video below for more info:
Hmmm I seem to have the opposite complaint ... i find the buttons to easy to press, offen adjusting the volume or powering the phone when putting it in and out pocket

I had the same problem on my $3 eBay TPU case, I cut the buttons on the case with a knife, now they don't get activated by mistake, but don't require me to push too hard either.
Best phone case I ever bought.
The SGP may be even better, I don't know.
I am using the capdase case which covers the edges too.
Has anyone bought this? I'd like to see some pictures of it actually on the phone. Mainly curious if it will mess with the edges of my screen protector
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EFC-1G6WBEGSTA?from_mobile=true
I bought one from UK, which is supposedly a clear case but its more like a clear white. Its not completely transparent. This is my favorite so far. Perfect fit. The cutouts are properly aligned. Its TPU but a little rigid than the aftermarket cases. You will not be disappointed. Its hard to explain but its amooth and shiny but not slippery. The cutout for the camera is slightly embossed to protect the lens. This UK version that I have has a provision to attach a lanyard on the upper left hand corner. If you have the full screen protector you will be fine.
Stay away from the Cruzerlite. It will push up the edges of your screen protector.
Factory case arrived today (Pictures)
So I went ahead and ordered it up. Placed the order on Sunday, shipped on Tuesday and arrived today(Friday). I must say I like it a LOT. Nice and slim, and its the first case I've seen in person that gives it a little face protection, yet doesn't aggravate my Zagg HD. I also am a big fan of the tabs that cover up the charging and headphone ports. Though we will see if they or I stand the test of time with them. Anyway, enjoy the photos and let me know if you have any questions about it.
Oh, P.S. It does NOT have a Samsung logo on it like in the photo from their site. Doesn't make too much of a difference I guess, but for some reason I was a little let down by that
Samsung case
The one I just received is essentially a pebble blue back with a flap that folds over the screen to protect it. Its about as minimal as you can get!. You just pop your back off put the new one on, looks just like the back you took off only now there is a nice flap to keep the screen protected. Of course there is not much protection if you drop it, other than you now have a "spare" back for the phone. I have a TPU case also, not sure which I like better. But if your in to a minimal look, this is the case!
Yeah I have that one, and love it. I also have a case-mate one that's really thin that I also like. I feel this one adds a decent amount of protection to the back and sides.
How easy is it to press the power button?
Thanks for the pics.

Real easy. The raised part of the case doesn't protrude too much. Only Issue Im having is when I hit the lock button with my thumb I sometimes hit the volume rocker with my pointer finger

After reading your review, I got mine on BestBuy with the samsung logo on it
thank you :good:
Hello Everyone I been reading a lot of forums on cases and right now I can't decide on the Spigen, ACase, or the UAG cases. I am looking for a case that protects decently, doesn't add so much bulk, good button access for the home/side buttons. I am extremely careful with my phone and work a corporate job, meaning I don't foresee it needing to be all out tough.
So what you do?
Thanks in Advance
Hi, I was in the same position you were, and wanted a case with not too much bulk, but good protection (just in case by some awful chance I DO drop my phone).
So I went with the Acase Superleggera Pro.
I personally love it. It adds a certain amount of bulk I feel the phone needed, the silicon does not attract dust in my pocket, the polycarbonate back doesn't show smudges or fingerprints much, and the buttons require no extra force to push either.
I have a Zagg Invisible Shield HD on the screen, but am considering removing it because I never scratch my screen (my Droid X STILL doesn't have a scratch on it after two years) and the lip from the case that goes around the phone, PREVENTS the screen from touching the surface when layed face down.
The cut outs for all the ports are perfect, and look great as well. Overall, I suggest the case if these features appeal to you.
However, I'm also buying a Spigen Neo Hybrid to see what all the fuss is about
Thanks for the reply and the info, I am just like you as I really take care of my device. But I just read the review on the ACase the paint is rubbing off? Have you had that happen to you yet?

I can't speak for two of the cases you mentioned, but I do have a black UAG case and I really like it. It's actually thinner than I thought it would be and is unique looking, if you like the look of it.
The screen protector it came with is pretty crap and not full coverage. I'm using a Zagg and so far (fingers crossed) it hasn't caused it to bubble up anyplace beyond the few spots I screwed up myself removing my metal bumper case I had picked up when I first got the phone.
How is the Button Issue that you have to hard press on the UAG case?

A little firm to push but nothing to worry about, on mine at least. I have a TPU case that is way harder to push. I saw somewhere (maybe this site) that someone cut one of the long sides of the power button and said it worked great after that. I never had to so YMMV
I had the spigen neo hybrid and sent it back the day after receiving it. I had the same button problem as everyone else although in fairness I don't think I had the revised edition.
I have had my Acase superlegerra pro now for about 5 days and I love it! plenty of grip and not too much bulk. buttons press perfectly and cutouts line up exactly.
I can't comment on the paint coming off issue as I haven't had it for long enough yet.
I am going to send my Spigen Neo back I got last week, buttons are bad on it, must be the non revised version. Seller has no clue and says its the latest stock they have.

they are pretty poor. I was disappointed cos the case looks good.
Manufacturer: Cruzerlite
Case: Bugdroid Circuit (Nexus 5)
Color: Black
Description (summary of the cruzerlite description): Shock absorbent and scratch resistant thermoplastic premium polyurethane case with custom designed Android print on the back.
Overall impression and build quality: The build quality of this case is excellent. The best i've seen so far. The case itself is glossy whereas the back has some some kind of a soft touch surface with an Android print.
Cutouts: All cutouts are on the right place with the right dimension. You still have the click-response when you press the power button or the volume rocker. The power button feels more solid with the case. At the beginning it might be a little bit unusual for you to press the buttons because the case is a little bit higher than the button itself. In my opinion it feels much better with the case.
Screen protector compatibility: Yes, this case might lift up your screen protector if you don't adjust your screen protector precisely. It depends on your screen protector though. I've had that problem but fixed it with a few adjustments of the screen protector.
Headphone jack: All of my headphones are compatible with this case. The headphone jack cutout seems to be big enough.
I would definitely buy it again. It looks just amazing!
If you've questions don't hesitate to ask me

This one looks cool. might pick one up for my replacement nexus 5.
I like it but I don't use it that much anymore. I was caseless for about a month and I never came close to dropping my phone once. After day 1 I dropped the phone for the first time with the case on. It's a bit slippery. I find the phone itself naked is very grippy. The black N5 at least. So I use the case when I want to set the phone down on its back. So I don't scratch the rim around the camera lens. Don't get me wrong the case protects the phone good, I just think the natural form of the phone is easier to handle.

when you have a three year old, you need protection.
right. i'm driving with the subway and bus every day and need some kind of protection for my investment. i'm always on the run. and i don't think the case is too slippery. but thats just my opinion.

in my case, pretty good. here are a few more pictures ...
Are the buttons fairly easy to press? I have the popular Nexus 5 Casemate case, which is also a TPU case with button cutouts. But, the power button was and remains sort of a pain, as it's recessed a bit too far from the outer surface of the case.

do you mean the case-mate naked tough clear slim case or the one from casology ?
i'd say it depends on the thickness of your fingers and the way you press the buttons. in case of the power button ... for me it's not like i press the button itself. it's more like i apply a litte bit of pressure on the case with my thumb to press the power button. since the button itself is surrounded by the case on all sides, only the middle area of my thumb goes down to the power button. if i press it like that, i get a louder click as response.

Oh, yeah I meant the one from caseology. That casemate naked case has covered buttons if I'm not mistaken.

The case that came with my Mi A2 Lite is OK but I prefer to use a slim case like a Case Mate Barely There or a Spigen which I used when I had Samsungs. Can someone recommend a decent, good value case? And a good full coverage screen protector? Thanks
for screen protector search for fullscreen 3D glass. they have black edges. those are the best because they cover the full screen and don't leave the edges uncovered.
can't name a special manufacturer or something but most of them are good to go.
for cover you should check aliexpress or something.
i ordered like 4 or 5 covers. but in the end the best and thinnest TPU case is the one from xiaomi.
the one's from AliExpress are always thick or hardware buttons don't press good.
also hard cover cases are pretty good

I actually bought that exact same case but I didn't like the covering of the power and volume buttons. Felt it was unresponsive, had to press it a few times before it worked. Would like one with a cut out for those buttons..... I know, I'm being very picky!!
