[CASES] Sleek hard-case case with lens protection

I got my HOX a week ago and I feel like the lens needs protecting if I want to lay it on the back, which I do all the time (who would lay it on the front, duh?).
I bought one simple silicon case, which works but as usual it draws dust to it pretty fast.
I looked at the Cruzerlite Androidified A2 TPU Case, it was very sleek and good looking, though it didn't protect the lens enough.
So yeah, anyone that can recommend one?
It doesn't need to have like a plastic cover over the lens. I just want to be able to put the phone on the back without the lens touching the table.

This is the case I got for my one x and I love it. hope the link helps

Wow that one looks really sleek, and it was cheap too
Looks like it protects the camera. Definitely an alternative, thx!

I have just aquired my One X and I got this case for it LINK. You don't really notice it's there as it sits really snug to the phone, is raised around the camera lens, and has a cool texture to the case. Comes with a screen protector too :good:

Thanks A LOT for linking me to that store! :victory:
Amazing prices and very low freight! Ordered both the case you suggested (which looked awesome) and this. I also ordered a MHL adapter thingy so I can connect it to my tv. All that + freight for just about 37 dollar

I make a mistake of buying a white nikkin case last time. It look really nice when new but ni way to clean it

I wouldn't blame it on nilkin. Everyone knows that white plastic gets yellow and or dirty fast. That is why I ordered the black and the rainbow

I have ordered this..polycarbonate, looks great with a pearl finish , minimalistic n comes with 6 months warranty..n being polycarbonate its very easy to clean n looks stunning..
Nillkin case has a textured finish..so dust n grime accumulate in those tiny holes n its almost impossiblebto clean..that's y I don't Like it all..

LGOG Premium S Curve TPU Case

Hi guys,
Just wanted to write a quick review of a case I bought on eBay
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190823724544?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Fits all variants of the OG except for the AT&T OG (8MP camera)
Very good for $7 ($3.50 each) - I bought the black and blue.
Cutouts for camera / flash / speakers / ports well done.
Cut out for 3.55m jack more than enough to accommodate jacks with the big outer shell, if you know what I mean.
Case fits very well. No chance of falling out.
Installation was very easy.
The finish on the back feels good to the touch and rubbery side grips are good, much better than the nude slippery glass of the OG to hold now lol.
If you want a cheap case that covers the back & sides, this is the one to go to. Good for Aussies who are looking for a case!
Here's some pictures I took of it

Yeh I bought this case in a local mall close by to me.. Was surprised to see it considering the lack of cases available. Have had it on my G for the past few months and its been a treat.. Actually have dropped my phone twice with it on and its been perfect so far
My only gripe is that the elevated edges makes my screen get dirtier faster and makes it harder to clean.. Otherwise its a great case

Oooo I like the purple colour in the auction pics, but then they have a video of some silicon cases and they look ugly as and really transparent? Wonder if they would ship to NZ

im using the same case but a transparent 1 :laugh: got it FOC from the stall

L-01E
Do you guys think this could fit a Japanese-spec OG; an L-01E?

Would it rip into the sceen protector and cause bubbles like most of my other cases?

Nope.using this case since i bought the phone.i like it because it's protecting the silver frame.

Just got me a black and blue one, perfect, except the buttons are a bit touchy but you get that.

I've got this tpu case and it shows a smooth finish, the holes are really well done, but I fell the buttons a bit dull, I don't know how to explain. For example, I have some difficulty to take screenshots pressing the Vol Down and Power buttons at the same time. Power button is not so easy to use.
This case looks like to offer a very good protection to the phone. I hope I won't need to prove it...

@sianghung, From where did you buy the transparent case?

im from Malaysia, the stall gave it to me FOC.

I have the same case (black). I love it. Fits perfectly. Recently I accidentally dropped my phone on a concrete surface. If I was without a case, the glass or the metalic part were goners. But with this case it was fine. Just wiped the dust.

Hey, fellow Vancouverite here... Can you give me a hint where you found it locally? I know it's been a while since your post, but who knows... I have another case, but wouldn't mind getting this one, as this is exactly what I used for my SGS2, and I loved it. Thanks in advance!

I use this tpu case.
it offers good protection in falls, great price.

Ringke fusion [crystal clear]

Looked around and didn't see a topic on this new completely clear Ringke Fusion case. I ordered one and I'll post pics and a review once I've gotten it. But had anyone else gotten one and can post pics or let us know what u think about it.

Spigen also seems to have released a clear bordered version of their Ultra Hybrid. I'll want to see theses pictures for sure, and how it feels in hand / what material they use for it.

Nice
Looks a great cover. I bought the standard fusion in black, but this one seems great in showing off the sides of the phone. But, I am worried that the side body of the cover will also get scratchy just like the back after a while..
Here, the black side body wins for me.. :good:

did you finally get the case?

I'm between this and the black one... which one dou you think that will be look better with a black nexus?

I just got this case for my RED Nexus 5 and really really like this case. Buttons work much better with this case than my all TPU clear case. Still very slim and fitment is perfect.
Love how it shows off my new phone!!

You'll need to buy a new one soon as they rapidly turn yellow. Mine looked great for about a month.

buttons are pretty awesome on this case. I like it, but ordered knock off Google bumper that should get here soon. I'm not really into the clear hard plastic backs. Feels very light and thin though for a good amount of protection.
For reference I've had:
Spigen ultra slim
Quick sand
Beetle case
Diztronic matte
Cruzerlite
Nillkin
I like this one the best I think. Nillkin is pretty sleek though..

UAG Monarch Series (images inside)

I just got my UAG Monarch series for my S8+. As usual it fits great, the keys are very responsive. Now I hope I can find a good tempered glass that fits without peeling off. I installed an IQ shield (wet install) and had to trim the edge (badly trimmed off by me).

How does it do for edge protection?? Is the top and bottom lip seem to give decent protection on the screen when face down? It barely raises the screen off the desk when face down. I have the Spegein Heavy Armor and it almost feels like the phone will fall out at the first good impact. It also doesnt seem to have much edge protection at all.

It has around 1mm gap

Is the gap enough though? I've always liked UAG cases and something that will protect the device well. This is my first edge phone,so not sure if it will be enough

I agree on that, I might have to go back to an otter box. I hate bulking up the phone like that.

I think the gap is much better for me than my spigen liquid armor

Thank you for posting pictures of this case!
I ordered it off of amazon, but unfortunately, it will be getting shipped in a month .
But I really wanted to see how it looked, so thank you so much for this!

You're welcome. Pre ordered mine on the 1st week of April from uag site, got 2 days after my s8+ arrives

Really nice case, you have better pictures then the UAG website. I didn't realize it was two tone like that.

I'm really curious how the dimensions of the Monarch compare to an Otterbox Commuter or Symmetry. Any chance you could get ahold of one or both of those and do side-by-side photos?

I don't have otterbox case. But im still waiting for the Pelican case to cone out.

Any idea how long these take to ship to the UK from UAG? Thanks.

I pre-ordered this 1 week before my S8+ came. It took about a week when i got it from uag USA. Not sure about UK, sorry.

I have the Monarch for my S8+, in addition to a couple of Plasmas (Ice & Cobalt). I prefer the Plasma, as it feels sturdier - the lower lip on the Monarch is flimsy. However, the Monarch feels slimmer on the sides, making it a bit easier to hold.

Was your Monarch a little bowed in the middle when you took it out of the package?
Hope UAG makes the Midnight Edition like they did for the iPhone 7 Plus.

NageBee Cases - Three Types Available Now Through Amazon

Hi all,
I'm thinking about picking up all three available NagaBee Cases from Amazon. It's the NageBee Snap-On Premium Cowhide Leather, Hybrid Case Premium [Heavy Duty] Defender [Dual Layer], and NageBee [Natural Wood] Snap-On Premium Canvas Fabrics [Heavy Duty]. Details here:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GV76F29/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
Any thoughts from others on this? Would you order one of them for your phone?
Thanks

The wood and fabric one looks pretty nice. They just seem a little bulky for what they are

Nagbee Natural Wood Case
I have the wooden one, and in my opinion, it is too thick. Not only does it not give you enough protection on the front, but the screen protector included is trash. The black border on the tempered glass gets rid of some areas of the screen. The "wood" is not even wood, I partially punctured the wood with my nail lol. I do not recommend this case, also, if you want photos, I can provide some.

Glad you tested it first. I came a second from pulling the trigger on this. I love the case I got. The feel is brilliant and it protects the back/sides/corners, but finding a good screen protector is a ***** atm. They all have that black ring or nothing but bubbles.

All, here are the pics of my 3 cases. I can't test on phone until it comes in tomorrow.
So far the leather is my favorite followed by the black 2 piece and last is the wood/cloth.

Well after using the leather case on the phone all day I can't say that I'm impressed with the overall mold of the case. I do like the leather design and if the wood was flatter I would dig that one too but I think there are too many flaws with the case mold.
So first off the headphone jack cutout is too small for almost all of my headphone cables. I will have to drill out the hole to use the headphone jack to it's full potential. Next off the case doesn't provide much coverage protruding past the screen. I prefer to have a bit of wiggle room in this dept. Next the edge or lip of the case that rests against your ear when talking on the phone is too sharp, even for plastic. Just catching my fingers on the lip feels sharp. Finally the back of the case is super deep, like Otter Box Defender Series deep. I'll bet that nothing will ever touch the camera lenses due to this depth but it does add a ton of bulkiness to the phone.
On the positive side the buttons feel great, all the cutouts appear to be perfect, and I do love the leather/cork or wood/cloth designs. I think more phone case manufacturers need to adopt these styles of cases.
If you'all have any questions for me let me know.
Cheers
