This is pretty much the same as the one I have and also similar to the Poetic series. I have a cheap ebay one that works fine. Gives it a wider profile when holding it in your hand. Pretty much the same width as a Seidio Dilex case. Buttons are responsive, you can feel a click, not as pronounced as a naked case, but you do have some feedback. Protection is pretty good for what it is. I've dropped it at work a few times and the phone has come out of it unscathed.

bought it on ebay and waiting for it to come, probably another week or two

Received two in the mail after about two weeks. To be honest they feel more like plastic rather than TPU... Flexible plastic.
I have a few slim cases and compared to those, these bumpers add a lot more bulk. Probably won't be using them for an extended period of time and will go back to my slim cases or the Spigen Neo Hybrid.

Bought one of those and couldn't use it. The micro USB cutout is too small. I couldn't charge the phone with some cables and using Meenova is impossible with the case on.

I am also considering to buy a TPU case. How does it compare to hard back case cover for protection and comfort of use?

Well there is no protection for the back because it's, well...bare lol. For comfort, I had to get used to the width of the phone with this on. It's a bit wider than no case at all. But it protected my phone at a 4 foot drop. Nothing happened to the phone. :good:

Where do you get something like this? It's hard to search for an *actual* bumper case because so many normal full-body cases use the word "bumper" for no apparent reason

I purchased mine from here and have been using it the past few days - I'm really digging it but as someone said above the cutout for the usb slot is not quite big enough (I hadn't actually tested it before until now), but nothing an x acto knife can't fix

Did they put this thing on backwards, or is it a fake render? Last time I checked, the volume rockers were not on that side of the phone....

Yes they are if you are looking at the phone from the back at that angle

Well that's not the back, it's showing the face of the phone. That shouldn't be volume rockers, it should be the power and sim tray.

You are correct, that is a render in a sense. Or they put the phone in backwards lol. You see the speakers are pointed towards the bottom. That orientation dictates that the phone should be faced down. lol

Probably wouldn't work with a screen protector as the sides come over the screen a bit. I don't use screen a screen protector so it's not an issue for me. As you can see all the buttons are exposed. Took about 5 days (even though he's only about 100 miles from me) to get delivered and the seller doesn't send it with a tracking number. But for the price I'm not complaining!!!
It's pretty thin and does not add too much to the phone's width. I think it's a nice balance of thickness and protection.

Wow..that case looks really slick. I'm guessing here but it might be ok with sp's. I use a d30 dual impact one and i think the lift on the sp comes from constantly putting pressure on the volume and power keys. Since they are exposed on this one that means less stress. Low investment to try....

I bought a similar case with covered buttons. I quickly fixed it with a x-acto knife. I've dropped the phone on concrete twice and not a dent or scratch on my phone so far.
Case is now road tested I've been on travel for the last two days and the case has been great, so worth the $6.
On a side note, finding the power button to unlock the screen is so much easier now with the case. Your thumb is guided to the button by the case
Same is true with the volume rocker, without the case I have a bit of a hard time telling if I'm initially pushing up or down on the volume rocker but with the case it's much easier. You can feel the case above your finger pushing up and below your finger when pushing down.
I just purchase 2 for around $11.

Case i ordered

Arduro case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008B85DNC/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00

Looks like a good option, though it looks like you could get it for $5-$7 less, for example: http://www.amazon.com/Holster-Samsu...2&sr=1-2&keywords=galaxy+s3+holster+kickstand
Nillkin Case
I really like the concept. I especially wanted something like this on the Samsung Galaxy Note, as it was rather big and hard to handle with one hand. Always feeling that you could drop it while trying to stretch your fingers over to reach and loosen your grip on the phone.

Got mine yesterday and I like it. Great case for $6.99 shipped. Looks nice, decent protection, and the kick stand works well. The only thing I don't like is that the back gets even hotter while using for an extended amount of time. Seems like the case covers too much and there's no place for the heat to flow.

Does it leave the top and bottom edges exposed? Obviously, it looks open, but does any of the case protrude up?

Yes, it leaves it open. I've used my ear piece and my usb cable with no problems.
I bought the case for my GS3 and it works very well. Easy on, easy off.
No problems so far with my Xtremeguard screen protector. And dust in the case hasn't been a problem even though I work construction.
I never knew about the "sure grip" feature that the kickstand doubles as! I will be using that for sure.

Review: Spigen SGP Valentinus and Curved Crystal

Short and to the point. Hope this gives you a better idea of the case.
Please hit thanks so I know I'm heading in the right direction to do more reviews!
Bigger pictures available on my blog: http://chrismchoi.blogspot.com/
Enjoy!
The cases I am getting to review are just getting better and better. The quality of the Spigen SGP cases are superb. None of the other dry application screen protectors fit. But Spigen SGP came to save us. The Valentinus I review is Vintage Brown. .

The Curved Crystal Screen Protector includes:
Two Steinheil Curved Crystal Screen Protectors, a micro-fiber cloth and a squeegee.
This is the Curve Crystal Screen Protector applied. It was easier than I thought. Just line it up and lay it down. Squeegee like normal.
Cut-outs are accurate. Camera does not show signs of interference.
Room for 3 cards and some bills.
MSRP: $15.99 Curved Crystal
$39.99 - $54.99 Valentinus Wallet Case - Available in 8 different variations.
This is my exact set up when I do not feel like using any of my other cases. Being a girl, this case comes in handy for when I don't feel like carrying my entire purse when making a quick run.

Denting?

I think the denting comes from it being thin? That's just an assumption.
Mine went on perfect. I think it's user install error. I've been doing screen protectors for years now on hundreds of phones. Work in wireless. I hate my life... But yeah. Its' fine. There's some weird curvy lines or something. I have no idea what it was. But from having it in my pocket, it worked itself out.
Yeah no matter how useful, practical, and convenient it would be... I don't think the macho douchebag inside me will ever let me get that case.

HTC One Nillkin case

I was looking for a anti-fingerprint screen protector and i stumbled upon this case, it looks amazing, not sure if anyone has this one already and can give us a quick review, its called Nillkin.
Here is the link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Newest-HT...rd-Shell-Cover-Screen-Protector-/370808049120
Im going to order one and give you guys a quick review, it ship almost everywhere around the world, free and fast delivery in the UK and its only £8.00, very reasonable, it also comes with a screen protector so it might be worthy.
Looking forward to some feedback.
here are some photos.
Edit: just placed my order, might get it by mid week next week since its already weekend. will give some review once i got it

I have them all. I also have the Nillkin fold cases like the galaxy case. They are top notch cases, you cant go wrong with nillkin. Probably my favorite case maker.
I bought the white one but have since decided to sell it away because I've finally decided to use my HTC One with a pouch instead of hiding its beauty behind a cover =)

I've got one in black and its an awesome case, i'd say a better fit and more durable than the casemate cases too.
Two questions before I buy this case:
1) Is there a cut out for the power button or is there an actual button on the case for it?
2) Do these hard shells not damage the phone at all?
Absolutely love this case. Almost looks like the phone was made that way. Doesn't offer the best protection, but if you just care about protecting the back, this is of the best and best looking.

1. its a cut out, look at the ebay post to see more photos
2. i THINK these are high quality plastic, it should not damage the phone
I too have a white nillkin case and their grey flip.
Only problem with the flip is the case is too close to the headphone port, so I have a kld oscar 2 on back order to fix this.
Plus I love the black monolith look, reminds me of the film 2002 a space odyssey.

Protective Cases ? Xperia M

What type of protective case you use or anything to protect your Xperia M.
I use an anti-oil, anti-scratch and anti-UV light protection screen.
For the back cover, I go for headcase designs' backcovers. There's a lot of them on ebay for the C1905 version. It's compatible with all Xperia M variants and it's solid, really well made. Personally I think it'd do a good job protecting my phone in case of a fall.
I also own a Goospery Diary Case. It offers additional front and back protection if that's your type. I don't use it so much though cause, I prefer my phone screen being accessible easily without much hassle.
I also have gel cases. Gel cases aren't as hard as the headcase so they won't offer much "fall protection" but I use them for when I don't want my phone to get dirty. My phone tends to get dirty at times, along the corners of the ON button, it annoys me. The gel case is designed to cover every inch of your phone, cept the Micro USB port of course.
WRONG SECTION. This question should be in the accessories subforum and not here. Please post this kind of question there in the future.

I own several of those, for the kinks really. I got them on a promotion. (Buy 2 get 1 free for about $5 each) I had to buy them haha. xD
This is a gel case. Covers your phone buttons but isn't as hard as the Hardcase cover
I got this one for a super good deal infact. 3 for just $1.99 so I couldn't say no.
This is a goospery diary case.
First case I ever bought. It's the most efficient if you don't mind your phone being thicker and harder to access. Each time you place a call or use the phone, you have to flip it open and put the cover at the back. I never liked it so I don't use it anymore.
Personally I prefer the hardcover cause it's cooler and gives moderate protection.
I hope it helps you out. Press thanks if it does help
BTW do you know is there any bumper case for this phone (something for just a bezels). I was trying to find somethig like that but without succes.

Nope, sadly Xperia M isn't exactly "hotshot" enough to get so many accessories. The best we get is common accessories such as cover cases, screen protectors, and so on forth. Most of the bumper casing is made for all round famous phones like Samsung Galaxy series, or even iPhones.
Would be nice if we could get one of those bezel or even a slide keyboard case but that's too much asked in my opinion. Not too many would buy it. Bad profits.
hi, i'm only use a hardcase like plastic at the price $3
hardcase for me too.
