I just bought a cruzerlite spi force nexus 5 case and was wondering what u guys thought about it... It looks nice but I read mix reviews on it... It seems like people's complaints was that it was a hard plastic vs the rubber material so it won't protect it as much... Also the buttons are a little hard to press... So I was just wondering your guys opinion about it... Or if there is a better case that was similar...

Do you like the case?
In all honesty you can ask for the opinions of everyone here, and you might get a bunch of different answers. But if you like the case and are happy with it, who cares what anyone else thinks.
That being said, I have no experience with that case so can't comment anyway!

Might be handy, but to be honest, I think it's quite ugly.
Doesn't look like it will actually protect the phone ... maybe someone will try.

Cheap case

Hi
I found this great looking case for only $12- $15.99 with screen protector.
The case has a plastic snap on and a rubber seal something similar to an OtterBox.
I order way before the phone came out, hope you check it out before they prices goes up..
they have different color.
here on ebay
For other color do the search with out WHITE on from for more color.
WHITE IMPACT HARD CASE COVER KICKSTAND SAMSUNG GALAXY S III 3 S3 ACCESSORY.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/WHITE-IMPAC...538919?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a75bec1e7
cheap option i guess but look great and feels strong - key element that makes it a good case compare to a gel type.
seller was: case_ology
Hope this help some of you, checking around this look similar to the Case Mate.

Sorry bro didn't mean to offend you in any way. Was not insulting you or your taste. It was my personal opinion of the case. The back of the case looks very unpleasant and uncomfortable in pocket. I do really appreciate the fact you purchased a product, took pictures of it, and gave your opinion of it for the community. It really does help with accessories selction. I'm going to do the same when I buy a case for mine.

Whoa. That's a hard case to swallow. Although I do have a case on my GS2, I do so reluctantly. A big part of the purchase of any of my phones are the looks. This case looks a bit overbearing for my tastes although I'm sure gives great protection.

yeah.. Is a little big.. Im a CCTV Tech. always on the move, My nexus S 4G just crack with a more stylish case that this time i wanted a more protective option.
The point is that for the $12.00 I paid this copy or whatever brand this is is not a bad option.
Would love the flip stylish one. This is a beauty of phone but avoiding any falls is the least i would want to worry with this haha.

I got this case about two months ago, And have been testing it out ever since. I must say, I have been a fan of the design ever since the Galaxy S. But this time around, I was really disappointed. :crying:
The Quality of the GS3 version is really bad ( I can't stress on that point enough). I have already had it replaced once, And the company took around 20 days to do so. I got the replacement because the case had started peeling. They sent me a replacement case, and after some time, That started peeling too. I have attached some pictures. Steer clear of this case. Thats all I can say right now. Try SGP. They have awesome products.
Pros:
-Not at all Bulky
-A bit of Lay on the table design
-Good for showing off design of the phone
Cons:
-Really bad quality
-No drop protection
-A tad bit expensive.
Cheers for the heads-up and review

May I suggest the SGP ultra thin air or the white barely there? That doesn't have the problem.
Sent from my GT-I9300
I was considering the barely there but thought it was too pricey...
I found this case made by Rearth...looks similar and keeps a thin profile...
Best of all it's only $9.99 right now....

I'm really surprised that I haven't seen anyone mention anything about this fantastic case!!
I've had one, maybe two, of these cases previously for other phones. It was a few years back, and don't really remember how I liked them. But, they have been selling them for years now, and for most major phones, so I figure they were doing well. I had been through page after page looking for a case that caught my eye. I never could really find anything that suited me, and was about to settle on the official Google (non-flip) case. Somehow, I came upon the Incipio website and found the dual pro. Went ahead and took the plunge on the blue/dark grey version.. I COULD'NT BE HAPPIER!!
Seriously, this has to be one of the best three cases out for this phone; and, in my opinion, it is the best one out. I also have the .13mm Mime glass screen protector; it fits like a charm and has no peeling issues. The "lip" of the inner silicone part of the case actually goes over the edges of the screen protector. Almost as to "protect" it from chipping/peeling.
Does anyone else have this case? If so, what do you think about it? I might can find a camera to put some pictures up if anyone is interested.
Interested! Put some pictures up.

This. Also the silicon got very lose after a while and dust and debris would get trapped between the case and phone easily.

I have this case in black. Its a nice case but the silicon part of the case is loose. When you take the phone out of your pocket, the silicon pulls away from the phone. The buttons are nice on it tho and the case isn't too bulky.

Most cases are made of some weird rubber, either they feel cheap or they get stuck in the jeanspocket.
Some cases look great but they always tend to build so much bulk..
Has anyone tried an alu bumper like this one? Looks great atleast..

It looks great yeah but 35 dollars is too much for just a case which is why I didn't buy the official one. If it was a battery case for that price or even a little more like 45-50 then it would be worth it for me

With battery cases like this. You will lose a bar or two on cell phone reception as well as wireless. This was the case for the Galaxy S4. I believe you will lose the function of NFC as well.

How protective are aluminum cases though? I feel like TPU/plastic combos would probably protect the best since it absorbs shock better than metal.

Why does that one bottom corner stick out like that? I'm guessing that's how the case clamps together. Seems like it wouldn't feel very nice.
Yeah not bad, but I'm not a fan of Florida sticking out of the corner there. Always making a mess of things!
Also with it being an Aluminum bumper, I'm pretty sure it's aesthetics only. That's a relatively soft metal, especially with how thin is looks. Any real bump and it will probably dent/scratch easily. It's like using a thicker version of the HTC One as a protective case.

I am holding off as well. Even with the screws, not sure if it'd fit in my Seidio holster without scuffing the crap out of it. However whenever I visit this thread and look online at the pics, it seems unbalanced to me because of the screws.
Waiting for feedback on the aluminum bumper. I'm interested to find out if the bumper keep the back of the phone off of surfaces. It looks like it wouldn't protect the back of the phone at all.
