When it comes to a case for my smartphone I’m pretty picky, however, the Gloss Black TPU Cover Skin for the HTC Droid Incredible 2 is hands down my favorite. It offers style and protection without breaking the bank which is a major plus for me.
The case is not made of the same material as your typical silicon case so you don’t have to worry about it stretching after time and not fitting your phone as snug as it did on day 1. It’s made out of a material called Thermoplastic polyurethane, which is why it won’t stretch like typical silicon cases but still offers incredible (see what I did there?) shock absorption and abrasion resistance.
It has cutouts for all the buttons and ports with the exception of the volume rocker. Some say it’s a little difficult to adjust the volume but I haven’t had a problem with it. On the interior of the case it has a slick looking argyle pattern, I think this was a way to make two versions of the same case while saving money on materials. I think that’s pretty damn smart and I actually like the pattern on the inside (kinda reminds me of the bright red coloring under the battery cover of the OG Inc).
All in all, this is my favorite case for this phone to date. You can pick it up on Ebay or Amazon and there are more pics after the jump.
It'll take too long for me to post all the pics so check the site if you want to see them all. Thanks. LINK

I believe they are referring to the one for sale at the Verizon store.

oh yea, i forgot about that one. thx

My pleasure

I just got a case like this today that is made from the same material and its great! I really like how it doesn't bulk up the phone and won't fall off like silicone or plastic cases.

Can someone please find or make a tpu case for a ext battery please

Looks pretty nice, but it's funny that all of the similar style cases for this phone have a cutout for the speaker (good for those who use their phone and don't want to get face grease on it I suppose) but not a cutout for the notification light?

Where to cop?

Where can you buy this? I don't see it on amazon

This is the manufacturer's website,but I can not find to buy.:http://www.rockphone.cn/en/Plus/Search/Search.asp?pID=5&bID=0

+1 interested in this cover. It's a pity there's no hole for notification led, however it still seems the most attractive alternative to LG quick cover... do we know if it features auto wake on for the screen?
I tried on their site but there's no trace of this model; also googling around for sellers but found nothing :silly:

Are there any flip cases with the led cut out for notifications?

I've managed to find it on ebay with one sold, might end up purchasing one for myself. (uk)
Can't post any outside links yet but search on ebay "Rock Elegant Leather nexus 5" for £7.69 inc p&p, dispatched from china.

I know! That has got to be the most stupid design flaw even from LG!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Does anyone have this? Does it have the wake when opened feature? Basically a magnet in the front side of the case..
-Nexus 5 32gb

yeah.. does it have smart function?

I contacted an eBay seller who said it doesn't have the wake function

Just ordered the white one, so I'd expect it within two weeks. I'll post once I receive it. I am not really that happy with the cruzerlite one. I use it on the weekends, but I do not like the magnetic clasp and is a bit thick. So I figured I'll try this one. Thanks guys for posting pics. Looks decent for a weekend case.

Yeah just from pictures i knew the cruzerlite one would add alot of thickness to the device, i've had those kind of cases before.
and ohhh exciting, what made you go with white? i was thinking the orange one looks the best. Hope you post pics of it

Which case to buy?

Hey there. I'm looking to buy a good case for my phone. I live in Ireland and if possible can any one find a nice cheap case from UK or Ireland if possible ? Any suggestions appreciated

I cannot help you more than giving you my own experience, so that you can know if it is or not what you want
Heavy Duty case (unboxing and life-tested (simply don't know how to break my device with it :silly:
Tempered glass protector to fully protect the device
i'll soon try to find another case for a XT1039 -but lighter than the one for my XT1032-, and post a review asap.

I have a xt1032 (forgot to mention) the case looks nice. I don't mind if its a bit chunky unless its really chunky, overall I think the case looks nice . I don't know whether or not I need screen protector because I thought moto g screen is scratch proof. My current case is a big thick leather flip case which is a bit annoying when I play games.

For me the best case is the moto grip shell. It's colorful, it protects both the screen (because the silicon part comes a little bit over it) and the phone itself. You can find it on different websites around 10$...

A few days ago I ordered the case @matmutant suggested. It comes with screen protector,stylus and case and all for just 8€ so I'm pretty happy

grip shell from motorola is the best, all around performance, protect enough, slim enough

Speck Case

I've been using two Speck cases for the G6 over the last three days. All I have to say is these cases are amazing.

I was looking at Speck as a possible protective case. How is the protection on them? I've used the candyshell grip for my s7, but haven't seen the presidio series yet.

In my opinion the protection is great for the thickness it adds to the phone, which isn't much. It fits really tight onto the phone and has a good amount of lip on the edges of the screen. My favorite function is the grip it adds.

I just ordered two cases today - one is a spigen and this cheap one. Hoping that one of them will turn out okay.

I decided to go with the OtterBox Symmetry instead. I usually rock a commuter case, so I think it'll work out better for me.

I was tempted to order that cheap one. The color looks cool. Please post pics when you get it.

I have the spigen rugged armor and it's amazing. I rarely drop my phone but if I did more often I wouldn't like how thin the corners are on the one I got truly. But it works for me great. Doesn't add bulk at all and protects the camera lens I've always wanted a spec but hated their prices

Speck always makes my favorite cases. How did you get it so early? They don't have them at Best Buy or Amazon yet.

Yeah, I want the black one, though. I might wait a while until the price (hopefully) goes down a bit. Just ordered the new DBrand black dragon skin, so I'll see if that gives enough grip to make me go without a case for a while. I really like the metal edges of the phone, so I'd like to go caseless as long as it isn't slippery.

UAG Monarch Series (images inside)

I just got my UAG Monarch series for my S8+. As usual it fits great, the keys are very responsive. Now I hope I can find a good tempered glass that fits without peeling off. I installed an IQ shield (wet install) and had to trim the edge (badly trimmed off by me).

How does it do for edge protection?? Is the top and bottom lip seem to give decent protection on the screen when face down? It barely raises the screen off the desk when face down. I have the Spegein Heavy Armor and it almost feels like the phone will fall out at the first good impact. It also doesnt seem to have much edge protection at all.

It has around 1mm gap

Is the gap enough though? I've always liked UAG cases and something that will protect the device well. This is my first edge phone,so not sure if it will be enough

I agree on that, I might have to go back to an otter box. I hate bulking up the phone like that.

I think the gap is much better for me than my spigen liquid armor

Thank you for posting pictures of this case!
I ordered it off of amazon, but unfortunately, it will be getting shipped in a month .
But I really wanted to see how it looked, so thank you so much for this!

You're welcome. Pre ordered mine on the 1st week of April from uag site, got 2 days after my s8+ arrives

Really nice case, you have better pictures then the UAG website. I didn't realize it was two tone like that.

I'm really curious how the dimensions of the Monarch compare to an Otterbox Commuter or Symmetry. Any chance you could get ahold of one or both of those and do side-by-side photos?

I don't have otterbox case. But im still waiting for the Pelican case to cone out.

Any idea how long these take to ship to the UK from UAG? Thanks.

I pre-ordered this 1 week before my S8+ came. It took about a week when i got it from uag USA. Not sure about UK, sorry.

I have the Monarch for my S8+, in addition to a couple of Plasmas (Ice & Cobalt). I prefer the Plasma, as it feels sturdier - the lower lip on the Monarch is flimsy. However, the Monarch feels slimmer on the sides, making it a bit easier to hold.

Was your Monarch a little bowed in the middle when you took it out of the package?
Hope UAG makes the Midnight Edition like they did for the iPhone 7 Plus.
