diztronic High Gloss Clear vs Matte Back - Nexus 5 Accessories

Did anyone try both of these and can tell if the high floss clear case worth buying ?
Does the gloss clear protects at all as the Matte back?
By the way, does the back matte white turns yellow?

FYI some guy on androidcentrals forums posted pics of it

woah thx for the info =)
posted there a question as well, and yet i want to hear what people in here have to say

From my experience, clear TPU cases tend to turn yellow fairly quickly even in very clean environments.
With that said, I'm using the Diztronic matte black case and absolutely love it.

well i have searched and read about these clear cases including diztronic clear case and saw
some people say their case became yellow.
I guess ill go on the black one although its kinda disappointing.
My new white nexus is on his way buy he will never show its true color nor its "Nexus" brand in a black case.
What about a smoke grey case? will it be available soon?
and if not... what other GOOD choices do i have?

This yellowish colour is not about dust or dirty environments, but about UV, which degrades the material.
But it is often doped to avoid this (that's why old computers used to turn yellowish but not the new ones).

i guess im not gonna buy the gloss one, but are there any alternatives so the white color will be seen? or ill just buy the black matte?

Hi
this yellowish problem is a matter of worry for sure...in that case you can go up with Matte Back...but as far my experience I use white snap on case with kickstand for my N5 and it works very fine..the grip on the phone is very fine and there is no issue of even getting that yellowish thing also...I got it from Fommy a re seller website...you can also check out their may be you find it a better one you are looking for...its a snap on with kickstand for Nexus 5
Thanks !!!

does it make the phone much fatter? >:

I have something that looks simular to this one:
http://www.google.at/imgres?imgurl=...kf28T-KiJNTP4QTeleRN&ved=0CH0Q9QEwBg&dur=1019
Just no lousy monkey on it and more manly colors. (actually the color is gray)
I feel that offers enough protection. I also have a silicone cover which I removed yesterday and decided to use a sock for my phone cause I found the silicone cover to be annoying although I did like it at first.
Thanks, ill keep that in mind
I have the HTC HC V701 Portfolio Case in White and find it fantastic. Even doubles as a viewing stand for films.

Diztronic Slippery

I'm looking to buy a $10 diztronic case for my s3 but the matte everyone says it's too slippery and the high gloss seems like my fingers would stick and leave fingerprints.
What's your opinion on it before I decide to buy it?
I had the clear matte version and now the flat black matte version. Neither of them are slippery by any means. It's definitely less slippery than the bare phone itself.
There were a few I've purchased that were when I first got them. I've bought them for all my phones. Matte black every time. Work it a bit. Event wash it off. Seems like there's some powdery stuff on it, dust, something. It's worth it.

Totally personal preference....Gloss is tacky and hence has more grip but fingerprints show up. Matte smooth to the touch and not tacky at all and hence more slippery. My preference is I like how matte looks but how gloss works....I usually pick gloss over matte tpu.

Bought the dark blue matte case to go with my pebble blue s3.. as far as I'm concerned, it's perfect. Definitely way less slippery than phone alone, tacky enough to prevent minor g-force sliding in my car too. Case wears well around my kindergarten age child too.
I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
I loved the matte case, didn't seam overly slippery. My battery cover did develop a crack where the camera opening is. Don't know if it was the case but since I removed it and got a new phone the crack has not come back.

Looking for a white hard case

I currently have the Spigen Slim Armor and I really like the armor material, I was wondering if there was a case (white) with similar feel/material like the ones in Spigen Slim, been looking can't find any white hard cases around
Well there is the nilkin frosted armor it comes in several colors, white included. I used the white one with my old Xperia T and rhe feel in the hand is awesome, light and sturdy. The only problem it's that it will get yellow over time.
I also have the spigen ultra fit in white, IDK Do you know if these cases get yellow as well?

the case is almost what im looking for but, I swear nobody makes a full hard case that covers everything...all of these cases seem to forget about the bottom piece
I want something like this that isnt a TPU (I had this same model on my s2 and it turned yelllow/green pretty quickly) http://www.amazon.com/Cimo-S-Line-F...614711&sr=8-6&keywords=nexus+5+white+case...I just want a hard case that covers everything
This is my case. I love it

Spigen ultra slim case problem

Hey guys
It has been about a week I've received my spigen ultra slim case for my nexus 5. I got the smooth white version.
I've been noticing that the back of the case is already full of scratches. Has anyone of you also notice this? It's weird to me because I thought spigen uses durable materials. Fortunately enough the scratches aren't visible thanks to the white case color. You can only notice it when bright light shines on it but it still bothers me.
Now I wonder whether the scratches on a black spigen ultra slim case would be visible or not?
Thx!

It's normal. It's bound to happen to ANY case. The longevity of the case varies with mileage/user/surfaces you're placing it on
I've had a champagne one for a month, if it's scratched up. I hope they died the plastic right thru, so they stay the right color. Cheaper cases seems to black under the color, and show the scratches far worse.
I have the champagne one as well with a few minor scratches but it still looks good none the less.

Fully body white cases for pixel 3 xl. Why are there so few options?

Only fully body white case on the market is the Rhinoshield solidsuit. Everything else white are minimalist hard shell cases.
Took my old Spigen liquid clear tpu case and spray painted it white. Turned out way better than I thought.

I did a simple google search and came up with a bunch of them, not sure what you're talking about:

You can even get one with built in lights:

Not exactly white, more like marble, and really $70 USD?
https://www.google.com/search?q=white+bodyshield+cases+pixel+3+xl
first product search result link is not white. It is transparent case with white flower artwork
2nd result hit Not really white. They are black case with printed decals slapped on the back
skim through more search hits, there are very few if not only 1-2. Wouldn't call that a "bunch". I've done the search many times, there are not many to out there on the market for pixel 3 xl. I've searched through amazon, ebay, aliexpress.
Challenge you to link me 5-10 on amazon.com that is full body pure white like the Rhinoshield solid suit . They are like the only one readily available. Peelcase has a kind of white one made of recycled stuff, but not really true white. Looks like recycled paper.
As a white-case connoisseur, my educated guess, after owning a billion of them for a billion phones, is I suspect they're not the favorite to produce for manufactures. Rubber and TPU, favorite materials for phone cases, stain VERY easily, and white ones turn irreversibly blue from blue jeans after only a couple days. They probably get a lot of customer complaints/returns. I pretty much gave up on finding nice solid-white cases. Either they stain RAPIDLY, or are made of very hard materials which are either bulky as hell or thin with terrible coverage (insufficient lip to set the phone face down without the screen touching the surface).
Otterbox is the one!!!

Does if feel "sticky" like some silicon cases do? Is there a good lip preventing the screen from touching a surface?
TIA

It isn't sticky. Actually kind of slippery. Feels more like a soft touch plastic. Lip is minimal. Description says 1.2mm, but if you put a TGSP it might be flush.

those are half price on Ali, and the bottom opening has always been sharp for me. to be fair, i haven't used one since probably the og pixel, but I'd had may previously and they all were sharp against my pinky
These cases are amazing, and the protection is good, consider buying a better screen protector though, you get a free one, and you can tell its free, but its good until you can buy more expensive screen protector. Not white though, but i bet there will be.

There was a great Speck brand case few years ago, for like the iPhone 7 or something, it was White, with black little corners, looked super cool, but never saw it again for any other phone.

I would like this for my Pixel 3 XL
