Out of all of the cases you have, which provides the best grip? I have a Tudia case similar to the one in the video(matte back, glossy plastic on the sides), but it's too slippery.

Yo!! The tudia is slippery because it's matte even on the sides. If they would have made it glossy on the sides it would have gripped well. I chat about all that fun stuff in my TPU case shootout video. Basically, any case with matte on the sides is going to be less "grippy" so the diztronic matte case and tudia matte case. Te case with glossy sides, the cruzerlite and boxwave, will give you the grip to desire!
Cheers!

I like your reviews. Thanks.

Video Review: SGP Stehen Leather Case for Galaxy Note

Hey guys,
Got my hands on the SGP Stehen leather case, which is a folio style case made from plastic and leather. This case features a leather flap for screen protection that can be turned into a viewing stand, which is fantastic. You'll get great protection from this one, since the leather and plastic combination is very shock absorbant.

Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible Revision 3 or Cruzer Lite Androidified A2?

I am using otterbox defender and i really want to switch to Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible Revision 3 or Cruzer Lite Androidified A2. Can anyone who has used both recommend me which one to buy? They both has good user reviews in amazon and um really confused!

Although both are TPU cases, they're actually pretty different feeling in your hand. The Diztronic has two textures: the front is glossy while the back is matte. But this matte feels really, really good. It resembles really fine grit sandpaper, and gives you some grip unlike most matte TPU cases. For some reason, the clear and smoke matte Diztronic cases don't have this feel.
The A2 case obviously has a giant Android logo on the back. The TPU would be a lot more slippery if it weren't from the grooves created by the logo. Anyways, the sides of the case have noticeable ridges that provide excellent grip when holding.
I prefer the Diztronic one due to the simple design and excellent hand feel. The A2 case is also slightly bulkier than the Diztronic case and has smaller port cutouts.

i-Blason Armourbox - anyone using?

Anyone currently using this armour type case? Reviews?
On Amazon:
i-Blason Armorbox for Google Nexus 5 by LG Dual Layer Hybrid Full-body Protective Case with Front Cover and Built-in Screen Protector and Impact Resistant Bumpers (Black)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00FUPVHLG/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_gb?ie=UTF8
That's a lot of case for the price, I would have definitely bought one if I didn't already have a Spigen Slim Armor
OK, I've ordered one and I will report back.
Don't like built-in screen protectors... take away from quality immensely. On my last Otterbox Defender, I punched it out and cleaned the goop off. Only way I would use this case is if the same would be possible. I like the color accenting with it, but it is a large case... probably way more than I would need.

Case/screen protector advice needed

Got a Nexus 5 for Christmas yesterday. Currently looking into a case and screen protectors.
I need some protection, definitely, but not too big. (Ballistic cases=big no.)
The Spigen Neo Hybrid cases look good. However, I'm leaning more towards the Cruzerlite Bugdroid (Black) case. The Bugdroid has a cooler design and better reviews (Amazon).
I don't need multiple screen protectors. A single-high quality one would be better.
What do you think?

A random tempered glass screen protector and a Diztronic Matte Black case. Or Neo Hybrid.

Read through the threads, you'll find enough reviews on both(and combinations of both and Neo Hybrid as well).

Cases for the Bamboo OPO

I own a OnePlus One with the Bamboo back and as most people already know, it's actually quite thicker than the normal sandstone black and silk white backs and also a bit heavier. Because of this, most cases won't fit. I already tried putting on a naked clear case but my phone was too thick. Hopefully others with the Bamboo back could post here what cases would fit so we can put together a sort of list of confirmed cases that fit the Bamboo OPO.

I was debating to open a thread for this too, but here, I have these cases:
6x Aluminium Bumper Case (no SIM slot)
4x Ringke Fusion Case
2x Orzly Fusion "Bumper" Case
1x TUDIA Slim Fit Dual-Layer Cygen
1x TUDIA Ultra Slim LITE TPU Bumper
1x Diablo Jkase Rugged Case
Aluminium Bumper Case: I wouldn't use these because I don't want to damage the plastic on the side of the phone, as well as get my bamboo scratched. But it does fit, screws require a bit more pressure for locking in, which brings me to my original point, I don't want to damage the orange-ish plastic.
Ringke Fusion Case: I'm using this on my Daily Driver OnePlus One (Bamboo) atm, as well as my developer OnePlus One (sandstone) - I love these cases, it feels so high quality and fits around the device well. As you can see, I have 4 because two of them were the first batch which were quite loose.
Orzly Fusion "Bumper" Case: Rubbish. It doesn't shape around the edges of the phone and the lips of the "lay-on-the-table" design is so loose, I'd toss these out if I were you.
TUDIA Slim Fit Dual-Layer Cygen: Fits, but as usual the flaws are that the hard plastic does not align properly with the TPU is more obvious than on the Sandstone. Bad first batch, but not for everyone - as the manufacturing line is different.
TUDIA Ultra Slim LITE TPU Bumper: I have the clear version to show off the back. It looks good, and fits very well. As usual, clear displays the bamboo design quite well.
Diablo Jkase Rugged Case: It was a rather "loose" case to begin with, so it fits well with the bamboo styleswap/bamboo device. However, why would you buy a case to cover your bamboo anyways?

Wow! That's solid helpful. The one I wanted to get but didn't fit when I tried it on was the Bepak Slim Transparent Case so stay away from that if you've got the bamboo. I really wanted a clear case coz I didn't want to cover the Bamboo but after trying the Bepak case I didn't think any slimfit clear case would fit. Glad to hear the Ringke Fusion Case fits! Do you have the clear one? I think I might just order one.

Sorry, can I just confirm, is the Aluminium Case you mention first the one by kwmobile/KW-Commerce? And, if it is, you say you wouldn't choose it because of potential scratching, but do you think it's still a good case in that it protects the screen from being damaged?

Yeah because that case is actually already very snug on the sandstone version of the OnePlus, with the added thickness at the back, it will scrape along the plastic and the bamboo (I had a lot of experience with aluminium bumpers with added thickness battery covers (Note 3 + Al bumper + Al battery cover) and the battery cover was scratches so much). It will protect your screen somehow (I did drop my sandstone OPO with a tempered glass on solid concrete and it was perfectly fine)

Thanks for the information; think I'll give that one a miss then and go for the Tudia Ultra Slim instead

strongly disagree. I'd recommend Orzly Fusion bumper case. The fit is perfect, not too tight. Fits perfectly round the edges and definitely not loose on the 'lay-on-the-table' part. I also own Ringke & Diztronic.
Im pretty sure u got a bad batch of the Orzly, or maybe an early batch...

I would not, my two cases I ordered one month apart are exactly what KP Smith said in a comment here:

Thank you for doing this review. Your post makes me want to try the TUDIA Ultra Slim LITE TPU Bumper.
Saw this review on it.
youtu.be/cd1O8LdeGUo
my diztronic tpu slim cases fit pretty good as well. you put them on like you would with the regular back then just run your fingers around the edges and it falls right into place. I have 4 different colors from different batches and all fit fine. I also have the ringke fusion.. its actually on my phone right now. Its got the clear back and tinted sides. Fits 99.9% perfectly! Its my go to case for sure.
