Plastic Case Review

So I just got another new case.
I got it from eBay seller augustonline for $3.89 w/ free shipping.

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.

Best TPU Case Imo

http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-Cases-S...s=63&clkid=5450595014366325529#ht_2001wt_1139
i think this is the best tpu case i have ever gotten for any of my phones.
TPU cases usually cover the buttons and make it very difficult to press buttons, or may be slightly too big for the phone so its not a snug fit.
This case that i got for the phone fits it perfectly, no loose sides, its tight just like how a condom should be
PROS, buttons are cut out, and its matte, great feel, fits perfectly
CONS, 10 bucks for a tpu case?? >:[ being that usually they're $2-5!
buy it! im happy with the case check it out!

I second this; it's a nice case (I don't have any experience with other cases, though). I got it from Amazon.com for around $6.

I will also second that, great case, I also have the trident aegis which is great when I am at work, other wise I change to this case when I am at home.

yep...great case still one of my favorites

Agree! this case is amazing. I also have the D30 from T-mobile store. Both are very good. But the D30 offers more protection.

I have this case as well. I got it on amazon for $11
Fits very well, all buttons are easily accessible. I also bought an Xtremeguard screen protector (screen, back, and 4 sides) but with this case the back and sides are superfluous. Smarter shopping and you could probably get a screenprotector + this TPU case for about $12 and get great protection for your phone.

i agree, this is the best tpu case ive ever owned or used. its cut outs for the buttons make it feel like the case isnt even there and its super thin and fits great. i got mine for 11 on amazon but i got the smoked clear one. here is some pics if it helps anyone out. just make sure u get the Revision 2 one. because i guess the first cases they made blocked the mic at the bottom. u can see in my pics that mine isnt blocked because its the Revision 2 version which they fixed that issue

It's actually not slippery at all. There is a bit of tacky-ness to it from the TPU material.

Just got this last week from Amazon and it's amazing. Definitely the best one hands down.

Best case for Our phone

I currently have the ballistic SG case and was wondering if you guys would recommend any other cases out there?

I have a balastic case with fly grip. Awesome!

Simple TPU case (black) from eBay works for me.

I am using the CIMO S-Line TPU Case. It looks nice and it protects my phone.

I would say the D30 cases from t mobile. Bought one of amazon for $10, Fits like a glove and protects pretty good.

I'm currently switching between the white body glove case from T-Mobile and the PDair leather case. I really like the leather case cause it protects my screen.

D3o cases are junk. Especially the ones with the softish plastic backing. The all black one piece is alright,but still junk.
The ones with the colored plastic backing are prone to cracking just be taking off the case. Big no-no since I wash my case periodically.
On top of that, the 3.5mm slot is too small. Only slim jacks fit while the d3o case is on. I'm not willing to change my Sennheisers just because design flaws of the case.
Don't forget how much force it takes to push the power button. Over time,this can damage the power button by recessing it in. I switched to the white body glove. Its properly designed and does what I need it do.

i have a case similar to this, one of the amazon variants.
any who i really like the design, especially the thick corners which is what many times takes the impact of the drop. i have not had problems with screen bubbling up either

I purchased the white body glove case from tmobile store and its doing the job. I've dropped the phones a couple of times already, and its still doesnt show any scratches unless your eyeball is touching the case.

I got one from moster accessory website called the black transfusion hard cover case an I really like it as my second case. My first case was the D30, but the transfusion case was more cheaper than the d30.

I tried 3 cases, this is the best

Because I use a holster, went with the Seidio Active.

I came upon an older Targus holster for Palm PDAs back from 2000. Its got that old brown leather look with a velcro snap and velour interior padding. Enough room for my Herc wrapped in its TPU.

Great case/holster and cheap!

So I found this case at a mall kiosk. Same as the one in the link below. I wanted an otterbox type case/holster cause I'm in construction and my phone can take a beating. But, all the heavy duty cases with holsters are ugly, to me anyway. So I found this at the mall. Not near as protective for sure, so I'll need to be far more careful at work, but great looking and comfortable .....after I got used to its square edges. It fits snug into the holster as well. Love the cut out for the nexus logo too. My finger rests in it when I hold the phone.
Another bonus is the mime ghost glass screen protector I just got today. It fit perfectly between the sides of the case. The case is very tight and there's no way the thick glass would fit under the case edges. So I got lucky. LOL. I was going to file the glass down if I had to. But no need.
Highly recommended, the case and the mime.

Just got this same case but from shopandroid for under 10 bucks and it included a second one free. It's much nicer than I was expecting and I plan on using it regularly after having gone through 8 other cases that just didn't do it for me. The case has a nice matte finish very similar to the feel of the phone itself and it's always a bonus to have the nexus logo visible. It may not be as thin as some cases available but it doesn't add excess bulk or weight either. I don't plan on using the holster much but it also exceeded my expectations. The best purchase for my N5 up to date.

Spigen Liquid Air

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.
