Slim Case That Covers The Entire Bezel?

I'm currently using an Elago Breathe case and I absolutely love the way it feels and how thin it is but it doesn't cover the entire bezel of the phones, leaving tthe top and bottom bezel unprotected. So does anyone know a good slim case that covers the whole bezel?

If clear is your thing, this case is really nice.

It's so slim. Can't imagine it's much protection. It has a nice feel to it as well and it's got a good fit. No real front lip, so doesn't protect your phone if you put it face down.
If you have the pebble blue phone, they make one with a blueish tint too.

I have that exact case on my pebble blue and can confirm the no face down protection. I think it looks smart in my opinion better than the only other option which is a lightish blue .Someone else has it on this forum as well and has posted pictures so if you're interested have a search and I'm sure it will show up.

Go with an SGP Modello or Capdase case.

I have the SGP Modello. It's a nice case. Not as thin as a Case Mate Barely There (as an example), but still quite thin and covers everything. Good fit. Not much grip, which I like, but not everyone does.

+1 SGP Modello. Love it.
Currently not being productive on my S3.

Rocketfish Snap-On is is a bit thicker than what you have now, but not very bulky at all, and covers the bezel. The gray goes well with the pebble blue.

Just remembered I have bad experiences with SGP cases. They have a tendency of fading out/losing/changing colors. I instead decided to go with this generic one

I have the one in blue. Its an OK case. I actually put it on and took it right off. Its a bit too slippery for me.

Tpu cases work very well. Has good overall protection. Doesn't protect your screen from shattering but it will protect it when you put your phone face down.

Speck candyshell or SGP NEO Hybrid?

I finally came down to 2 choices for cases only find out that both cases suffer from problems.
Speck with the cracking and the NEO hybrid with the sagging.
What to do now?

It is my understanding from reading the speck candyshell thread is the cracking only applies to the one color (Pebble / Bayou), which happens to be the color I had (and it did crack, on 3 separate cases). My wife has the mint green speck candyshell and it's been fine.

I've been wondering the same thing, except tossing in a few other hybrid style cases
candyshell, neo hybrid, faxion, puregear slimshell
as far as I've heard...
candyshell may crack..and even if it doesn't, the candyshell scratch's like a mofo.
the neo hybrid possibly has button and sagging issues from what I've heard.
the faxion isn't very stylish imo and i hate the cutout in the back..and the puregear..meh...kind falls somewhere in between on the style imo and no reports of anything on it.
If i had to choose between the two case's you mentioned.... Idk... I think the speck wins in a form function kind of way...

The Candyshell only cracks on the bayou/pebble color, not on any of the others.
Using the soot/black one and no issues, looks great and the buttons are so easy to press.

The neo hybrid will not sag. They changed the material from the s2 cases. I have both cases and use the hybrid more. I have the dark grey speck case and the shining grass hybrid. I like the hybrid more for the looks and the thinness.

Here's what you get in the package. It comes with a screen protector so that's a nice bonus.

So which would be a better case? I'm in the same boat as the OP, unfortuntely I'm reading that the buttons on the SGP Neo Hybrid makes the actual buttons of the phone VERY SENSITIVE?

they've been rereleasing the neo hybrids with the button sensitivity fixed. Even if you do end up getting one of their older models you should be able to e-mail them and get an updated one for free.

Oh ok. But which one is better between these two cases?

Been using a black Speck CandyShell and it's great. No cracking. The glossy back will scratch and show loads of finger prints. But it's thin + good protection. You thought about the case-mate pop?

Thanks for the comment. Is the cracking problem still present with the Pebble/Buyou though?

I have never used speck candyshell but after using SGP neo hybrid I always go back to Samsung's protective case. Neo hybrid has no grip due to matte finished back and just wasn't comfortable for me in my hands.

How do I know if the one I'll buy is not an "old" stock?

I have a Speck Candyshell, and have actually been thinking about purchasing a Neo Hybrid to replace it.
Liked:
- Feels great
- Looks great
Don't like:
- Back scratches easily
- Rubber on the edges (biggest problem)
I think Speck should have gone with TPU instead of rubber. The rubber attracts lint, makes it harder to slide in/out of pockets/holsters, and it has started to rub off on the top of mine. The rubbed off rubber results in litter specks of rubber getting on the screen, and are a pain to clean off. That was the deal-breaker for me.
I'm currently using a cheap Fosomon case, which isn't too bad.

As long a you buy it from an authorized reseller or speck themselves it's not the old stock. They told me to make sure if I buy it from amazon that it is shipped and old by amazon themselves.

I hate cases.

I'm using a Cruzerlite TPU case and even though it's a slim line case, I still tihnk it's too thick and detracts too much from the phone.
I want a body cover solution like Bodyguardz or Ghost Armor, carbon fiber design. Will I be able to use the SGP Glas.T with these body covers and which one is a higher quality?
Is Bodygear/Ghost Armor even worth it? Will it actually protect what it covers well enough for me to consider hiding the metal finish?

I use this clear case because of the same reason.

I have had skins from skinit and they are good for 2-3 months but then start to peel

I bought a body protector and tried using that with the double dip case but my phone got stuck halfway in the case and scratched it up lol. but anyways I gives the phone more grip, you could use any screen protector you want but if u drop it you might scuff up the corners. The way you apply it on the corners it leaves some of the corners exposed and sometimes it doesn't stick to the phone well. Mine was skinomi but there's is a little more thick and would maybe have better protection for drops but that got ruined in my case. so I bought a armorsuit which I think I used before and the screen protector is a little thinner and clearer. I'll take pics when I put it on and tell you what I think about it.

This thread is being closed. There were several options suggested. If you don't appreciate help or suggestions I would recommend not asking for them. If you feel you need more options I would recommend going to www.amazon.com and reading the reviews on some of the cases there.
Also, calling others names because you disagree with them is uncalled for and will not be tolerated on XDA.

Anyone have the Diztronic with any temp glass?

i actually really want to get the MIME Feather, i saw in a thread her that the mime GHOST and the Diztronic don't go well together, but no word on the feather, so if anyone has that combo please say so
if no, but you still have anotehr combo of Temp glass + Diz please do share, i think many people here got the Diztronic and would be happy to know, esp before throwing 30+usd on a glass

Nilkin wokrs fine with the dizitronic at least for me. Nothing bubbled up at all and hasn't since I put it on. My Nillkin did have some adhesive issues on the surrounding screen areas but its not tot ugly even though I do notice the small bubbles in those areas, I had to pay for a replacement too... but ill probably keep this one on it and hold onto the replacement as another one incase I break this one.

Can you take some pics??

I have the Diztronic with the Feather glass and it's no problem. The case does go over the temper glass. The glass sit very close to the edge of the screen. I may be the only one with the Feather. I don't understand the popularity with the Ghost since it's thicker.

Hi,
I just want to confirm that the Diztronic case works with the Mime Feather screen protector without any bubbling issues. I had a Mime ghost originally, and there was bubbling in each corner. I can post pictures to imgur and give a link if anyone wants.

I just got this case yesterday, I ordered on May 5th and I received it on May 13th. Very fast shipping from US to Canada. Case looks and fits nicely, the edges are glossy but the back of the case has a nice matte finish with that "Amzer" logo. As for drop protection, It would probably survive, but keep in mind that the case is very thin (about 1 mm thick on all sides). It's not like an Otterbox case, but I prefer these types of thinner cases.
These are one of the nicest ones available right now besides the generic unbranded tpu cases, and I'm also waiting for this one to come in the mail: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/C1-NILLKIN-N...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item35e86b1904

I ordered this case a couple of days ago and will be making a quick review on it as soon as I get it via YouTube. I feel like there's a lack of cases or information on this phone and I want to contribute.

Yes, it does have a lip that covers that entire phone, it keeps the screen at least 1 mm off the ground when you put it face it down. And yeah, I can't wait for that Nillkin case, it covers everything on the phone from the headphone jack, volume buttons and charging port. Everything except the camera

I have this case, which I feel matches the nillkin tempered glass screen protector very well. (looks like they may be OOS for the ZF2)

I received the Amzer case two days back. I'm not too happy with the case and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
The pros are...
1. It covers all the sides and has a lip the protects the screen.
2. The buttons have neat cutouts.
3. The back is a nice Matt finish.
The cons are...
1. The case is slightly loose on the lower side near the USB port.
2. The sides have an unfinished sharp edge running across all 4 sides. This spoils the feel of the case when you hold it in your fingers.
3. Glossy sides spoil the look and make it look cheap.
4. On two sides there's a small extrusion that looks like an unfinished factory flaw from the moulding process.
In the past I have used TPU cases from vendors like Diztronic and I have to say the quality of those cases was way better. For the price Amzer is charging for this case they should have delivered a quality product.

I got this case from eBay UK:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301580146391?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
And I can recommend it. Cutouts are good, it's slim but still just overhangs the screen to protect it. In fact, you hardly notice it when it's on.

Yes the case covers the buttons, and are easy to press. The power button is actually easier then without a case.
I have another TPU case and has cutouts. The volume buttons are still accessible with that one, but the power button is a real pain to press.

just received the nillkin tpu case
very nice case for the price its well built barely adds any bulk and provide decent protection

The original Asus case seems good, with textured finish that should give good grip:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1147172-REG/asus_90xb00ra_bsl2n0_bumper_case_for_zenfone.html
I haven't ordered it yet, but so far is my first consideration. It seems better than other cheap TPU cases I've looked at. as most of them seem to have a smooth finish and seem slippery. I also don't like the "shiny" look most of these TPU cases have.
