I picked this up as a quick case solution since it seems the big names rushed to market and most of the cases I wanted have quality issues. I must say I'm glad I did. This is the thinnest and cleanest TPU case I've ever had. Very little added bulk and there's no ugly flash or edges around the case. Definitely a solid case to use while the big names get their stuff straightened out.
Here's a link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/370934891240
Nicely priced too. Just ordered one.
Thanks for sharing. A point of clarification, though- when you say there is "no ugly flash", do you mean that this case has a conservative design, or do you mean that this case does not suffer from the "ugly flash" problem?
The "ugly flash" problem happens with some cases installed, where the flash bounces off the flash cutout and reflects back into the camera lens, creating awful photos when flash is used.

Sorry, I meant as in excess material from the injection molding.

There is a Fosmon case on eBay for 2 bucks cheaper that looks practically identical. Translucent glossy. I have the teal and it's great.
looks interesting, how do the buttons feel?
i have the spigen neo hybrid, it's great but i was skeptical about $20 for bassically a tpu case, and it is more broad than i would like and the tpu is matte which makes it very slick. the only grip i get is on the bumper. not that i'm gonna switch but this could be better value.

It appears so. Looks weird since the LG logo isn't in the center of the phone.
Is that 'Frosted Black' or 'Black' according to your eBay listing? Looking to get a generic TPU case too.

Bought this on Ebay and I really like it:
SGP Ultra Capsule Case White
Pros:
-No one notices it is a case
-Buttons all work
-Does not add bulk to the phone
-Protects the bezel
-Has pearl color not plain white
Cons:
-Could be a little bit less smooth to improve grip

Excellent looking case and would be a perfect match on a white Note, the only thing I dislike about it is the little cutout in the corner designated for the Asian version I think.
I have it and rather dislike it. I do not like overly smooth overall finish, make it slippery in hand. Covers over buttons are a bit too tight, making buttons overly sensitive; I almost turn off my phone several times when I only wanted to put it to sleep. The cutout in the corner is really puzzling.
Beautiful case but person at AT&T says that type of case offers no real protection. My gf dropped her iPhone with similar case and the screen shattered. So I bought Speck Candyshell. Uglier but it works.

Great case but this white colour may be a dirt magnet for long term use. I prefer black and with a bit of grip on the sides for extra protection on the phone to prevent accidental drops.
This is the Official Ultra Slim Clear Case on a Blue Galaxy S3
is the front lip thick enough to protect the screen and button when placed on a surface face down?
no the lip isn't thick enough to protect the front button and screen. I have a screen protector on anyway so screen is protected. I don't like the other TPU cases with a thick lip as it makes the phone seem really thick.
Thanks for the pictures. That looks better than I thought it would.
I for one definitely dig the design.
You'd also have to be a moron to purchase a single case rather then the 2-pack, offered for the same price: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ETC-2PKSCEGSTA

i think only samsung is offering the twin pack (clear and blue) for $19.99 (currently on back order), other sites show the twin packs as either white or blue, the clear one is sold by itself for $19.99.
Looks good I love it
These cases look ok on pictures and are really thin which is a plus but not good to hold in my opinion. You can actually feel the pattern and the whole thing feels cheap.

OP, Its hard to tell from the angles, but it looks like the case is so thin that the power button sticks out further than the case itself?

Hellow everyone,
I am really searching to find something good to protect my Htc One but in the same time to not make it double or triple of it;s original size.
I was seeing the Incipio Products Like Feather, Frequency And Carbon Fiber , also the Htc One Original Cases .Plus would be nice to buy these alluminiun cases??? What you would suggest me to buy. By the way along with the case i am planning to buy a screen protector like the Mime Ghost Glass for Htc one.
Your Opinions would be very helpfull.
I bought this case: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-FlipBo...qid=1377379829&sr=8-3&keywords=htc+one+poetic
It's slim and looks good. Doesn't provide a crazy amount of protection but it's enough for me to not worry about it in my pocket or setting it down anywhere, and I like the flipbook style. You can also still use a screen protector with it.

funny, on this link, with the phone in the case, it looks like there are cut-outs for the camera (and the noise cancellation mic), but there is on picture of the entire case without the phone in it, and there appears to be no cutouts for the camera. I would imagine that there ARE cutouts for the camera, no?

Yes, there are two cutouts on the back: one for the camera/flash and another for the mic. You're right though, the pics are misleading. I had seen this case in the wild before I bought it so I knew what I was getting. Also for that price you can't really go wrong.

Just tried a skin and bumper combo. Best compromise between protection and looks IMO. Nothing will top an otterbox for protection, but makes phone very bulky and it overheats too easily when using navigation.

this one I got a few weeks back, and it is the best case I could imagine for the One! Protection all around, wrapping over the edgres where the screen is. All buttons covered solid, and these covers help to push the Power/Vol buttoms. I can only say, I am totally happy with this case! A bit pricey, but worth every penny. Gives the One a real trendy look, and is available in different colours- I got the black/black one

I got the blue one a few days ago.
It's a really good case, as good as the Incipio feather cases. The texture on it is very grippy, the only thing it's missing is a hole for the dimple.
Looks nice...but first thing I noticed was missing dimple

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
just got mine in yesterday.
WOW! i love it. hardly feels like i have a case on this phone. really does a great job at retaining the slim factor of the phone. why can't they make more cases like these??
Nice! But...
I purchased 3 of the Bear Motion cases. Black, gray and blue. I really love the sleekness of the case but I wish they would have more of a lip on the screen side.
The other problem that I see is that the upper right hand corner could have a better fit. The blue case that I received will eventually "pop" out of that corner.
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.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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.

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.
