So my nexus is to big for my hands to control it easy with one hand, something I prefer doing. One way of fixing it is if I would dare to just let it lay on my fingertops instead of wrapping my fingers around it.
However, because my current case is so smooth and I have very dry fingers, it easily slides off my hand if I would lay it on my fingers...
As the top URL shows, a cover with VERY sticky cover would be great for me. does anyone know of a cover like this for the nexus 5?
Maybe you should try "flygrip".
Or you could get a case with more grip? The Quicksand case for $2 shipped is not bad, and the Diztronic matte material is fairly grippy as well.
Cool thanks
I was just about to recommend flygrip as well.

So I just got another new case.
I got it from eBay seller augustonline for $3.89 w/ free shipping.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Rubber-Ha...000-GALAXY-S-/150475142893?pt=PDA_Accessories
This is similar to the mesh snap-on case that others have posted about. It's a single piece that snaps on to the back of the phone. The material is hard plastic but it has a bit of a rubberized feel which provides just a little grip.
The fit is perfect. And, unlike the mesh case, it does not have the awkward cutout for the TV antenna that the Korean cases have.
As others have pointed out with this type of case, it does not provide full protection for all sides. I was also concerned about this, but found that it wraps around the edges just enough to protect the face of the phone. So, if you place it face-down the phone doesn't touch. Also, the corners are protected but the top and bottom are exposed.
It's a solid color with no branding so if you really like the Galaxy S logo, you won't be able to see it with this case.
All in all, this is a nice case and if you like this type of case, I would definitely recommend it. It fits well, has a nice clean look to it, and is less than $5. I think this will be my daily driver for a while (or until some positive reviews of the SGP Slider case start coming in).
Sweet as I was wondering whether the fit would be good or not, so thats good news
Can't wait for my orange one to get here!
Cool good to know it fits perfectly i ordered a green one of these almost two weeks ago i should be receiving it any day now
The case isn't bad for $4 (or the $8 I paid from a US seller), but don't expect it to hold up for very long. The rubberized texture is wearing off after less than a week.

I was just thinking about updating this post when I saw your reply. I noticed this morning that the rubberized coating is coming off on the corners of the case. It's not very noticeable at the moment, but I imagine it will start to peel off everywhere in the not so distant future.
For me the case is temporary until SGP gets their stuff together, but I don't think I would recommend this case to anyone that is looking for long-term protection.
that looks pretty gnarly. I have the snap on two piece case from T-Mobile. With the chrome bezel and rubbery back. Once I get bored of it I'll have to try that one.

Love this case so far. Especially with my custom logo! =D
There is no player on the warriors with the number 89. That's just the number I like personally.
I don't think this can be compared to mesh case. The quality of the korean mesh case is awesome. That is why it is like 20 bucks.

Truthfully verizons body glove case is best for non bulkyness.Very stable fits well .ect.
I like my body glove
Personally I have tried the Body Glove case and I like the Otter Box Commuter case a little better. The new Seidio Innocase Active is also a very nice case; a close second to the Otter Box.
Definitely otter box. Slim sturdy and stylish

one problem though it has to slide into my jeans. Most of these cases have rubber and dont slide
Throwing in a vote for the Body Glove case.. great fit with just enough bulk to give you that warm protected feeling

You should check out Techie Warehouse. If you go to the Covers & Skins area for the Droid X you'll find over 300 covers to choose from.
Best one I got laying around was not a Seidio, Otterbox or Trident... it was the Dual Layer Vertex Covers just google "techie warehouse vertex cover for droid x"
I quote from our product description about this product "The Motorola Droid X gets ultimate protection. A Screen Protector and two virtual walls of defense. The inner silicone core absorbs shock from bumps and drops. A hard polycarbonate exterior shell prevents cuts, scrapes, dings, and damage for the Motorola Droid X."
Let me know what you think of it.
i bought one of the 3 dollar black silicone ones off amazon. works fine for me..

I have had the Otterbox, Seidio, Innocase, Verizon, Kragen, but I didnt really like any of them. Iphone cases are so much more refined compared to these.
The Otterbox Seidio, and Kragen cases are too bulky, the Innocase looks good but broke on me, and the Verizon Kickstand Case was too cheaply made.
There is a guy from another forum thats making a phone case. It looks great but its not for sale yet, I am personally looking forward to it because he claims its easy to open and has a bunch of other features. It looks absolutely beautiful, so lets hope he can pull this off.
Right now Im using a cheap Ebay Silicone case, its not great either but it was only $2 and thats value for money. I also got a Smartphone Coaster, its a cheap bit of tin but it does the job for now.

Phantomskinz does have skins for the droid X.. Check the site again!
+1 For the Body Glove
I really enjoy my Body Glove, Although I've managed to wear out the snap on the lower left side by removing the case over time to do a battery pull and it no longer holds securely.
I have a Green Trident Kraken on order, due to arrive today actually assuming UPS will brave the icy roads, Good reviews on protection but they all admit to the sacrifice of sleekness.
The pliable verizon silicone case is nice and it fits with extended battery-Motorola and cover. You can find them for $10 online or eBay.
Check ebay item #250759993717
I bought a Sedieo Innocase Surface back in December it cracked in half in January. They are really nice looking, but if you ever have to do a battery pull or if you want to use your car dock, forget about getting it out of the damn case. It fits way to tight. So I am back to the ole Silicone case, which works fine, but sucks if you put it in your pocket, cause it sticks to cloth / jean material.
I'm on my 2nd Body Glove case.
Likes: Belt clip, rubber texture, light weight
Dislikes: Rubber texture deteriorates, weak tabs will not survive impact.
It has kept my DX from scratches but the tabs that snap it together break too easily. First was replaced under warranty. I think I will kick out the $ for an Otter.

Those cases with tabs that snap together aren't meant to be taken apart, after 4 or 5 times they will break. I created a case that opens easily, has no tiny tabs to break and has a multitude of other features.
I've also taken great care to make sure that the case is placed further away from the screen and buttons making it easy to touch the screen and press the buttons on the bottom.
There's space for the OEM extended battery, an extra micro SD card, and even an ID or credit card.
The case also functions as a stand and car mount, my case allows you to watch movies, make movies, capture photos, and use your phones GPS in your car with ease. These features not only work with the Motorola Droid X but with other cases, other phones, and even some other electronic devices such as digital cameras.
The case isn't any more expensive then other high quality cases either. Its 20 bucks and made from the same high strength plastic as other high end cases, so basically if your in the market for a case and other accessories you can pay for just the case and get the rest for free essentially.
If you think this case must be huge and weigh a lot you'd be surprised, its really a simple concept, its almost like a normal cellphone case but we've changed a the design a bit to allow it to function as an adjustable stand.
I can't post links yet so you'll have to google "Jawcase" to find more info, pics, and videos.
I like the Jawcase concept. Alot. I pledged. And good luck with getting your project off the ground Heather. Hope it gets funded.
I've gone through 3 body gloves now with my 4th's clips are broken yet again....
I think its a bit ridiculous that I cant take my phone case off because the clips can't stand it.
I need to find a new case, and I'm thinking of just going with one of the hard-ish silicone cases. The body glove looks great when you buy it, but the rubber wears away like no tomorrow and the clips are destroyed after a couple battery pulls. I had one for my enV touch and it lasted the entire lifespan of the phone with minor tears and such. My droid x's can't last anymore than maybe a month. Don't get me wrong, the body gloves are wonderful, but I'm clearly not having a good experience with it or maybe I'm not handling it properly
+1 for the body glove case. I havent had any issues with the tabs, but i always open it at the bottom with a coin.

Shoot...I was pretty much sold on the Innocase Surface case, was gonna order one in the next few days. I've tried the cheap TPU case, the cheap 2-piece snap together case, maybe I'll try the Verizon silicon one instead of the Innocase.
i know the TPU case with the plastic back covers it and the plastic hard snap-on cases cover it
from what i've seen these are the only cases that wrap around enough to completely cover the bezel, but maybe you guys would know of other that do, preferable tpu. i switch out batteries all the time so the snap on cases arent the best since they are tough to remove.
thanks
TPU?
You didn't really ask a question...
semantics...... im looking for a case that covers the chrome-bezel, for those who didnt understand the topic
anywho...tpu is that high grade plastic that feels rubbery, like the argyle cases daydeal sells
Otterbox commuter case does. Best case i have bought for a phone, feels great in the hand and looks very good. Wont ever go without it

How much bigger does the Otterbox case make the phone? The other Otterboxes I've seen (for other devices) were a significant addition to the thickness.
Otterboxes and cyclops cases make the phone feel FAT. REALLY fat....it completely kills a device that was designed to be thin. Personally, I'd recoomend you this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772826
Covers the bezel, does not make the phone look fat. Looks great from the back also. Rubbery only on the sides. Don't get the new edition as it's a poor fit, get the old edition which doesn't have cutouts for the buttons. Then, if you have problems with the power button, put a little piece of paper on it and it will feel great to press.
Also, the case makes the phone nearly indestructable. I've dropped it 7ft on concrete. Case got a concrete scratch....phone was perfect.
Thanks for the suggestion! I was considering either that one or the one mentioned in the second post of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098214
I just don't want anything that's too big and fat (don't need my phone to look like me. LOL)
That one from the post is nice except it doesn't cover the bezel on the top and bottom. That's pretty major for me, otherwise it's a great case. Similar to the mesh ones. The one I linked you covers everything and is thin.
i had that one, but the glue started coming off where the plastic is attached to the rubber. i would like one thats all rubber because the plastic back is slippery, there doesn't seem to be any other option though to cover that bezel
superglue. I did it to mine and hasn't moved since.
Just thought I would throw this out there for the people that are asking
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Incr...5C/ref=sr_1_95?ie=UTF8&qid=1328665651&sr=8-95
If any one actually buys these remember to throw out a friendly review.
I tried that one out... it's okay. Currently rocking the one made by MoreTalkTime... which is not bad either.
Anyone try to do a cutout? I bought a tpu case and failed big time at cutting out the back. Arts and crafts are not for me I guess.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
I'm trying this at the moment. Though, currently attempting to cut through the last layer of my ballistic case. Call me crazy, I was bored. It doesn't seem to be turning out too bad. The last picture shows the cut out square blocks which give an idea of what I will glue together and try to attach onto the hard piece of ballistic case using strong rubbery glue over super glued plastic side walls. Who knows, if it fails I will just buy a replacement case and cover.
I have done a cut out on a silacone case before with...well lack luster results. It basically looked like extra padded bumper.
After a few days, i am pretty happy with this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00669H7Z0/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
not a perfect fit if you use the HTC extended battery... but it fits well enough.
I'm not 100% satisfied, but only because I wanted a case that was extremely snug. This is not that case... but it fits w/ extended battery. Hard to really argue against it for 8 bucks too.
I'm tempted to just get this: http://shop.htcpedia.com/incredible-2-extended-battery-cases.html
but I dunno... i'm sure those are just TPU cases that someone else cut out by hand... more or less doing what I wish i could do with an xacto knife.
Making the Moretalktime case snug...
I have the HTC extended battery/back and purchased the moretalktime case.
Also was a little loose and just didn't feel as snug as I'd hoped, especially for a tpu case.
Simple solution though. Find a piece of material that's about 1mm thick and cut out a rectangle to insert inside the moretalktime case before sliding the phone in.
For me I used an old leather wallet I had laying around and cut out a rectangle to fit so it's not visible from any of the moretalktime case cutouts.
This gives a perfect snug fit all the way around and makes the case perfect for use with the HTC extended battery/back.
Just thought I'd share.....haven't found any other combo out there like this.
That's an interesting idea... a piece of leather just to pad it a bit.
It figures that we would have to add something in order to make the case feel sung.
Got this case from my job for free. I dont usually like belt clip holster cases but since I have two phones now i find it hard to carry both in the pocket so I decided to give this one a try on the belt. Hope I dont look like a goober...
All in all, the case feels pretty sturdy, on a protection level it feels pretty good. Except the top and bottom are exposed still so hopefully if I drop it, it wont be on the top or bottom. The sliding in and out of the holster can be a little tricky, It goes one way and one way only. Holds it very nice and tight and I have no worries about it falling out of the case or the holster.
The kickstand is pretty cool if you're going to be watching a lot of media on it, but it can feel kinda flimsy if you are too forceful with it, which you have to be to push it back into its safe little nest.
Pictures are not affected at all by the case, and the camera is definitely raised by the case so that it does not touch anything when you lay it on its back.
I would rate this case 7.5/10 8.5/10 If I was a holster fan.
Retails for 29.99 but you can find it on Amazon here for 24.95
