I ordered one of the Glass Screen protectors from this brand called Orzly for the OnePlus One, great quality so am going to use them for cases for my OPO2 when I get my hands on it.
Came across this wallet case video on their YouTube channel, not usually a wallet case person but may get this as I can see myself using the card slots on the inside and the stand position would come in quite handy, may get this or their fusion but waiting to see some more pictures or videos of the case.
Here's the video of the wallet case that I came across....
Wallet case are not that great option for Oneplus one because it makes an already bulky phone even more bulky
Though the case are top notch quality and protect the phone from all possible angles

I have spent 20+ hours trying to find a belt clip case offering moderate to extreme protection that allows the screen to face outward and have not been able to find a single case that meets my criteria.
I have dismissed the Otterbox Defender & Griffin Survivor because of their built in screen protectors and the Rokbed v3 because of the belt clip.
I found several inexpensive ones that do not offer enough protection including the Puregear Utilitarian.
Reason I don't want the built in screen protector is I use anti fingerprint protectors and removing the built in protectors is not an option because it leaves the adhesive residue.
I am at this point astounded at the difficulty I'm having finding a belt clip case for my new S3 and would be most grateful for any suggestions.
The OB defender screen plastic can be removed. Thats how i use mine, No screen plastic with a regular self adheseive film. Best thing i could of done to it. I havent had issues with the rubber stretching, but you can boil the rubber liner for 5 minutes then let it cool to make it shrink again.
I was going to order the Defender last night until I saw the reviews on Otter's website. 26 of 49 reviewers would not recommend it to a friend, many stated the outer rubber casing becomes lose after 2-3 months and previous Otter users said they were dissatisfied with the overall quality. There were various other complaints too. I was going to put up with the fingerprint smudges until I watched a You Tube review of the Griffin Survivor. I really don't want to have to take an exacto knife to a brand new fairly expensive case either.

1slow4G,
Many, many thanks for posting the above link. It looks like removing the screen protector may be my only option as this Body Glove case may be my only option.( My guess is it is not anti-fingerprint.) The Tough Suit is more protective than the Body Glove case on my Captivate Galaxy S.
The below links for the Monaco aluminum case is exactly how my Captivate Body Glove case functions and I would have ordered it if it was a non-metal case. I have read on these forums that the aluminum degrades phone signal strength and can effect the GPS & NFC functions which leaves me wondering why anyone would use an aluminum case. The You Tube review states the 3 holes on the back of the Monaco case are to prevent phone radio & GPS interference but there is no mention of NFC interference and since the NFC tile is on the battery there is no hole in the battery area so I'm highly skeptical. In fact I'm going to start another thread asking for others thoughts and experiences with aluminum cases.

An additional benefit to the removable belt clip used on my Captivate Body Glove (the Monaco does not have the kickstand feature) is the kickstand incorporated into the belt clip which allows both portrait & landscape orientation (a feature I use all of the time). I also like the ability to quickly remove the belt clip and store it in my center console cupholder when using my Akron car dock. (I'm thinking the Tough Suite holster is probably to large to fit in the cupholder.)
If anyone else has suggestions please post as I think after 20+ hours trying to find a case that does what my current case does I have reached the desperation stage.................lol. But seriously I had no clue it would be this difficult to replicate the case features and screen protector I now use.
I got this one http://www.case123.com/Ballistic-SG-MAXX-Rugged-Case-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-p/p01ssi930hy004bk_bal.htm from ebay for 9.95$ you can set the phone on the belt clip facing in or out. It also comes with a plastic screen protector, which is removable. I personally didn't like the screen protector, so I don't use it.

Ebay link It seems it was sold out, but I guess you could find a similar offer on ebay.

Did your case come in the actual Ballistic packaging shown in the You Tube review? Reason I'm asking is because the $9.95 price seems way too low and the video shows the holster has a large sticker on it stating the case is only designed for screen in insertion. If yours is the authentic Ballistic SG Maxx are you saying the phone is held as securely screen out as it is screen in? If yours is the authentic one and it does hold as securely screen out as screen in I'm scratching my head trying to figure out why Ballistic put the sticker on the holster. I certainly hope yours is authentic and the phone is just as secure screen out as screen in so I can order it and be done with what has become a ridiculous time consuming ordeal trying to find a case. Makes me wonder how many cases I may have seen that allow screen out or in holster placement but only show a picture of screen in so you have no way of knowing screen out is an option. At this point I'd gladly give up having a kickstand just to be done with trying to find a case.

The below link from Amazon shows Ballistic SG Maxx cases ranging from $8 to $29 and I'm thinking the $8 ones are knockoffs considering the case is $50 on Ballistics's website but I may be wrong.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...ywords=s3+ballistic+sg+maxx+holster+oem+black
I watched a You Tube review of the Seidio Active w/ kickstand & holster last weekend where the reviewer placed the phone in the holster face out for 2 seconds (and it seemed like he was fumbling with it) so I thought that was a case/holster combo that would work. I called Seidio customer support last Monday to verify the screen out holster placement and was told yes, screen in or screen out. I called again Wednesday to ask about the extended battery model & desktop cradle but this time was told the non-extended battery model could only be put screen in into the holster. So I called their Tech Support (rather than Customer Support) to get a definitive answer and the individual I spoke with actually went and got one of the cases and said the phone will not fit/attach securely screen out.
The sg maxx is 27 on ebay. Authentic

Yeah you're right, my bad, it doesn't really work with the screen facing outwards. I haven't tried until today, I thought it would work since the case has the holes where it snaps the phone to the clip on both side. Either way its a pretty good case and clip, for cheap, AFAIK it's authentic. The seller was selling it as refurbished and it didn't come in an official Ballistic Box, but it has the logo on the case and the clip. Sorry about the confusion again , hope you find what you are looking for.
An acquaintance of mine asked me to do this before returning a case or two. I decided to also post it here because I see a lot of "searching" for that ideal slim case for the Moto X, and also because I'm giving you guys another chance to make fun of me
I compared three cases and mentioned several others.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxY62jGsxDc
For those who don't want to suffer through my Grammy award performance on Youtube, here's the key parts.
Cases Compared:
Power Support Air Jacket Grip - Looks beautiful in online redners, not so much in person. Has a harsh transition from the clear and rounded plastic to the cheap-feeling matte TPU on the sides and front. Poor build quality as it was coming apart at two seams upon purchase. Top mic cutout is off and obscures the phone's mic. Buttons are mushy, and there's an apparent unintentional lip by the power button which is annoying for both looks and functionality. On the plus side, it shows off your phone's back, comes in a variety of bumper colors, and allows access to the Motorola dimple. I recommend that users avoid this unless they REALLY want something designed for Motomaker variants.
Supcase by Brillotech - The only real downside is that sharp edging due to the way it was machine cut. It makes the grip uncomfortable. It has a very UAG-type look to it at a fraction of the price. The buttons are perfect and the cutouts are fantastic. Round out those edges and it would be perfect.
Verizon High Gloss Silicone (TPU) Case - Great feel in the hands due to rounded corners and consistent material. Downsides are the loss of the dimple and issues with the button response while breaking in the case for the first few hours. A solid purchase, but don't be fooled by the Verizon renders at the above link. The Moto logo and Verizon logo are showing through the case from the phone. There are no logos on the case and it looks far better in person than in this photo (the opposite of the Air Jacket Grip).
Cases Mentioned:
Diztronic TPU Cases - These are examples of affordable TPU cases for the Moto X. Seems that the black is matte, while the clear, clear glitter, and pink are high gloss. Wish they'd make a black high gloss
Grip Shell for Moto G - Provided as an example of the type of cases I'm into these days, consisting of a rubberized TPU bumper with a plastic back.
Samsung Protective Cover Plus for Galaxy S 4 - Another example, same as the Moto G case above.
SGP Ultra Capsule - SGP stopped making these, but this was my favorite all-TPU case for any device. Used it for nearly 2 years on my S2.
Verizon High Gloss Silicone Case for HTC Droid Incredible - Another example of an all-TPU case. Verizon sells these for many devices. They'll work fine for many non-Verizon devices as well.
Just wanted to provide some follow-up (don't worry, no more poorly shot, stuttering voice-over video!).
Air Jacket - I returned this the day after the video. absolute garbage.
Supcase - I used this for a couple of months. I simply could never get past the sharp edges, but otherwise loved the case.
Verizon HG Silicone - Absolute garbage. The buttons got even worse over time. I literally threw it in the trash as I couldn't return it for a refund at that point.
In the end, I purchased the Hyperion (I went with black, no longer available) and Diztronic cases (Amazon links provided are not referral links). I've been using the Diztronic ever since and love it. Now I want to buy 1-2 more before they're forever gone as eventual backups.
Hey Everyone-
Hope you all have been enjoying the videos. I mentioned in a video i was considering doing a TPU case shootout and you guys let me know that would be appreciated so ... here you go!

I have the nillkin case, not in your review but it has cut outs for the power and volume. Great fit even with tempered glass it still has a small gap. I couldn't say its a dime distance since I'm in the uk but even with the glass there is still a 1 mm gap. Cheap and seems OK so far.
Also have a diztronic on the way and an official OnePlus tpu. Who knows may do another mini review once they all arrive.

None of the cases included in this video are PC, they are all TPU. The nillkin case is PC. All PC cases have cutout buttons because PC doesn't flex its made for abrasion protection. I have reviewed a couple of PC cases on my channel if you want to check them out, the BoxWave minimus, the official 1+ cover, and the nillkin PC case video will be live soon.
A PC case will be much much more friendly towards screen protectors. TPU cases will be more likely to push against the sides of the glass and cause bubbles.
The Nillkin PC case is surprisingly high quality. Like, really high quality ::cough:: better than the official case ::cough::
I'm lookin forward to your review. No matter how many accessories I own I always always read and watch other reviews too. I think we have a sickness
What was your favorite case amongst all the ones you tried, regardless of material?

hmmmmm ..... man that's tough. I'll answer it without answering it. Here's my personal thought process behind this question.
1) I don't drop my phone very often. One broken phone in 10+ years and I'm comfortable replacing parts on my own phone if need be, so impact resistance isn't too important to me. This means TPU cases and combination PC/silicone/TPU type cases ( think otterbox) are more than what i need.
Plus if i did blow up a phone beyond repair, I've got more phones.
2) I prefer a slim design case. Since all i need is abrasion protection, I don't want to add too much fat to my phone.
3) I like texture. I don't want to add a case which is slippery because that defeats point #1 cause i might drop my phone
So right now I'm really liking the Nillkin snap on PC case. It's what's currently on my phone. Ask me again in a week and it might be a different case but my logic above remains the same.
Hope that helps.

Very useful information, thanks. Just wondering, have you also tried the Pelosi case? It's what I'm thinking of getting and it seems like it would really satisfy your requirements.
Has anyone tried the Orzly TPU? Is there a lip on the TPU case? if so, how thick is the lip?

Actually the unique design of the OPO doesn't push the case against the screen so you're safe, I do have a TPU case(as I has to my previous Desire HD phone ..no issues)
P.S. I do have tempered glass in the OPO which is way better but still in my DHD I has matte film which was nice(there still didn't have any issues with bubbles and do mind I'm a perfectionist..)
Thanks for the vid, very useful!
To be brief, I purchased 6 cases. Each had its advantages. The best case is the Spigen Tough Armor case with built in kickstand. It is a dual layered case but you can insert and remove the case while both layers are intact. Great protection and styling. Buttons are nice. Not too thick. I wish the side edges were smoother but I can live with it. Got it from ebay for about $17.
My 2nd choice is the Diztronic tpu case. It is thin and light. Nice to hold with a matte coating. Screen is protected by the edges. Styling is nice and simple. Buttons are fine. Not as much protection as the Spigen case and no kickstand but I like it's simplicity.
It goes for about $13 on ebay.
I like to switch off between the 2 cases.
Just wanted to post my thoughts.
The first pic is the Spigen Tough Armor
The 2nd pic is the Diztronic. It may also come in a hard version.
Thanks for giving your opinion, there are too many cases and little ranks ;D
If you want a tough case; the Otterbox Symmetry is amazing. It has the standard Otterbox protection, without all of the bulk of a Commuter case. It's a nice looking case without all of the cartoonish angles and lettering. I like it better than the Spigen Tough Armor (which is a very good case, BTW). I was able to pick up a black Symmetry case on Amazon for $19 (prime).
There are literally dozens of cases for this phone. The one I want and can't find is the Zizo Bolt Series for the 2 XL. I've seen the reviews on that case - and I'd love to have one. They make them for the standard Pixel, the Pixel XL, Pixel 2, and Pixel 3 / 3 XL.... but I haven't seen one for a 2 XL - which is odd.
If you happen to find one, please link it in this thread.
Thanks
Im all about the Spigen Case, Its been a great case for me so far.
I've been using Diztronic for a long time, at least since my Nexus 4. It is hard to top. We got the Spigen Tough Armor case for my wife's Galaxy S7 and discovered it was too thick for our car vent magnetic holder. I assume same issue with Pixel 2 XL version? I was able to snag a navy blue Diztronic before it fully went sold out, unfortunately on back order though so who knows, currently says Arriving Tuesday on my Amazon order.
In the meantime, I have a Spigen Thin Fit. It freaks me out as it is really too thin on the screen side. it is a good compromise for folks that dont want a larger case though. It also has a built in hole for my magnet for my vent mount.
Only recently got my Pixel, but I have a history of being quite fussy about cases, as well as being stingy!
I bought a slim plain hard back cover, which was fine, but then found this:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Caron-Fi...var=553503155444&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
It's honestly perfect. covers everything except the screen, but adds virtually no bulk, you almost can't tell it's a case. Doesn't mark or fingerprint either.

Does it cover the bottom as well? Can you share some pictures? And how much does it weigh?
It's absolutely perfect. Weighs virtually nothing. Looks like its part of the phone. Covers everything but the screen.

Bought one of these - cheap, feels really nice, makes the phone non-slip, stops it sliding out of your pocket. Shame it doesn't cover the top and bottom, but it's still a great case, and different from most

Just a quick note to say that if you are after a decent alternative to the official Oneplus Bumper cases then the Spigen Liquid Air is a good choice. Great fit, works perfectly with the Oneplus TGSP and has a slightly higher rim around the screen than the Oneplus Nylon Bumper. Only £10 on amazon too. https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07QZ5W5ZN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is good but too big

In what way? Mine fits perfectly and isn't bulky at all for a bumper case.
Just ordered this phone for use in the US, and wanted this case because I have been using it on all my phones for 5 years. Just found out I can't get this case on Amazon here in the US, which makes sense I guess. I will have to pay double the price straight from Spigen unfortunately.
I've bought spigen liquid air and it have perfect fit and touch
Had one of these on my S9 from day 1. Excellent case, it's that nice TPU type that doesn't stick to your pocket and get covered in fluff like the cheap silicon ones do or mark your phone like the hard plastic ones can.
I was concerned the pattern on the inside would etch onto the glass over time, but it's been fine.
