new case needed

hey guys,
I have a sgs2 and my case just broke (just wear n tear did not drop it) its the SGP Samsung Galaxy S2 Case Ultra Capsule - YELLOW
I really like colour but its barely lasted 4 months esp for that price...
Having read the reviews I see people are highly recommending both:
- case mate tough case
- otterbox case
trouble is i can only find them in black and I really like a colourful case but cant justify spending £20 every 4 months
So what would you do? Is there a nice yellow / blue reliable strong case out there or do I have to go for either one of the other 2 mentioned above, in which case which one would you choose?
Please help
Thanks

Pretty and tough don't mix well together.
I have the Case Mate Tough, it's a very solid case especially for the price ($16 on Amazon). My only gripe with it is that it's a dust magnet, but nothing a quick wipe can't take care of.
The Otterbox Commuter is similarly prices, and looks slightly better than the Case Mate, however I think it's a little bulkier. Yo can't go wrong with either.
If you want a coloured yet strong case, check out the Trident Aegis. I'm not a fan of it's design though.

is the back part where it covers the battery plastic or silicon like?
i have a imak black case and its has a plastic backing, i thought it would be bad at first but i realised it will keep its shape from wear and tear since its only the sides that need stretching.
chose wisely, the case had before this one would apply pressure on the power button and turn the phone off an on.

i really understand your concern, but we have to make double post for this matter?

i have an otter box and it is the best case i have owned.
For me it adds a bit of weight and thinkness to the phone which i like but the best thing about it is the fit. it is perfect

Check out the non slim Momax case..
It is soft plastic on the side/edge and then hard plastic on the back.

Barely There vs. Feather vs. Ultra Thin Air vs. Slim Lite

I'm considering getting a thin case for my galaxy s3, which is coming very soon, and i have been compared some cases for myself, and i think it might be helpful for someone who also looking into those cases to buy.
Case Mate Barely There: http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...Mate-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-Barely-There-Cases.asp
Incipio Feather: http://www.incipio.com/Samsung-Gala...-S-III-feather-Ultralight-Hard-Shell-Case.asp
SGP Ultra Thin Air: http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s3/samsung-galaxy-s3-ultra-thin-air-series.html
Rearth SLIM lite: http://www.rearthusa.com/galaxy_s3_slim_lite_kit
Price:
Barely There ($25) / Feather ($24.99) / Ultra Thin Air: ($19.99) / SLIM lite: ($22.99)
Accessory Included:
Barely There (None) / Feather (Screen Protector) / Ultra Thin Air: (Screen Protector) / SLIM lite: (1 screen protector & 1 strap)
Colors Availability:
Barely There (6 including W&B) / Feather (6 without W) / Ultra Thin Air: (8 including W&B) / SLIM lite: (5 including W&B)
Hard case vs. Soft case
All of them are hard cases
These are the things that I can compare before I purchase a case. I'm more into Case Mate Barely there because I had a good experience from my old phone, but I'm into Ultra Thin Air as well because of the price. I haven't made decision yet, but you can simply reply your reviews on any of cases above, or use it when you need to choose one of them. :laugh:

you left a very popular one out around here that's cheaper than all of those... the Rock case. added grip over those as well. and it comes in at least 4 diff colors that i know of...

These cases won't help you from a fall..

very true. but some of us never drop phones. i'm one of those people
i typically look for a case that will at least protect the backside of the phone. anything else is just extra.

haha mee too! I never drop my phone and my phone needs to be slim! I know hard cases never give much protection, but the reason i'm using them is that they feel nice just like touching my phone naked. Some people might just care more about the design while xda people are more interested in protection!

My vote goes to the ROCK quicksand!
I purchased the dark grey and light grey and they feel great. Zero bulk added

Ah yes you never "drop your phone" when you are thinking about it.. but then when you do with that thin case and if it lands wrong your screwed.
I hope you guys don't get that unlucky but I won't take my chances with mine

Im waiting for this.
http://www.spigen.com/blog/galaxy-s3-neo-hybrid-case-is-coming-soon/

I've got the Rearth Slim Lite on mine, and it's been working great. Thin enough, and a good "soft" grip feel to the back. And if offers the corner protection I like - the only drops I ever had with my SGSII were when it slipped out of my pocket and hit on a corner...hasn't happened yet . And it fits on both the Samsung dock and the cheaper dock I got on Amazon with the case on - BONUS!

For 10 bucks you can beat this. Looks very much the same as SPIGEN SGP only with some texture

... Knock on wood...

I got the Rearth Slim Lite for my wife and I and it is really nice it fit like a glove and to my surprise it is so slim that it hardly add any bulk to the phone. For those of you with skinny jeans it will be perfect LOL. On the real I will recommend this to anybody who is Not clumsy or have toddler at home because I think the case will only protect from mild drops but will not survive a toddler attack. Hope that helps.

+1 - I've got the red one and it's pretty decent. I went through a ton of cases on my Captivate and my SGS II before (most recent was the Incipio Feather) and this bad boy holds up just as well. Mine came with a screen protector as well - and the most important thing is it came in red, which a lot of vendors seem allergic to (although they have a ton of pastels for some damn reason....).

This is the thinnest case i've seen. just ordered it, i know it will not prevent damage from a fall but i have never drop my phone (i know it will happen eventually). i care more about scratches. I tried the full body xtremeguard and was disapointed since the edges in the back were like cutting knife to my fingers. Also the xtremeguard screen protector was a let down since it creat a rainbow like pixel and take away screen clarity.

my girlfriend dropped her phone about 3-4 feet onto tile floor.
Barely there case actually saved smashing the screen

If you don't care about drop protection and just about scratches to the back, why not just order and keep a battery back cover replacement handy to swap in when it gets scratched? ANY case is going to add some minor thickness since it's overlaying the actual back cover, but if you just swap the back cover then you have a new look w/o the added case thickness.
My only problem is the phones I've had always seem to get worn the most on the outside edges. So I just got a replacement back and looking for a bumper-like attachment to protect the outside edges of the phone and maybe give a small lip so the screen is elevated when the phone is placed/lands face down.

Spigen Neo Hybrid or genuine bumper case?

What's your preferred? Genuine for stock look of more stylish with Spigen?

I picked up the Spigen Case Slim Armor -- liked the look of the white one & love TPU cases, even though this is a bit more plastic than TPU cases from CruzerLite.

personally the stock cases from the market seem a bit too painful to look at.... especially the yellow one, I already picked up a Neo Hybrid - Silver, I was at most considering stock grey

Those cases are freakin' gorgeous, just wish they had one in bright neon yellow.

I think the Neo Hybrid looks great, but I'm worried about the polycarbonate frame breaking. Look up the user submitted pics of the Neo Hybrid for the Galaxy S4 or iPhone 5 on Amazon. There are reports of the frame breaking near the charging port or headphone jack since it's thin in those areas.

Yea my sister's Galaxy S4 one broke. They apparently reinforced it with the new revision. But both my mom's and my sister's paint job did not hold up well and started peeling. I'm probably going with the Ultra Hybrid instead.

Wow thats a pretty big concern for me if thats the case. The case looked very appealing and had good color schemes. I don't care too much about the case peeling but as long as it doesn't break then I'm okay. I probably won't get it just incase unless Spigen sends a replacement without question incase anything happens.

They did revise it... as seen here:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...infinity-white-case-review-5.html#post2979193
But can't tell of they did this for the Nexus 5 version since it's just renders.

I would have gotten a genuine bumper if they were, a: available and b: came in white.
Seriously, bright yellow and red but no white? Gone for a spigen ultra hybrid, seems to keep the angles of the official bumpers but lets me see my white phone

I was disappointed with Nexus 4 genuine bumper: ugly, power button remains pressed (I had to cut with a cutter), bezel and chrome keys peeled off...

Poetic slimline bumper for the n4 was perfect, for me anyways. Fitment, looks, and colors were perfect. And the price was better too. They have them for the n5 available, being shipped in a few weeks.

Personally I didn't like the poetic bumpers. They felt very cheap in terms of the buttons as well as the bumper itself. It provides no grip to the bumper itself.

Looking for first case

Hey guys.
I just bought a black nexus 5 and I am looking for a case.
I come from an iPhone, which has a LOT of case offer xD
So I was just wondering which cases do you guys personally use and which ones would you recommend.
I don't know if this is the right place to post this, so I apologize in advance :-/

I personally use the zerolemon battery case its amazing.
When I'm at home I use my spigen slim armor.
Both are great. The ultra hybrid isn't very good due to dust getting in the case

I like the fact that the spigen slim armor has the tow parts that you can change, its pretty cool!!
Thanks for your answer.

I use the tech 21 impactology case. Doesn't look like much but its probably saved my N5 2 dozen times already.

The older version used to allow dust getting in.
I have the "updated" model, pretty much air-tight.
Only downside is the shiny back, but I love my case! :angel:

I bought a "Ringke Slim case" in white off Amazon UK. Very nice fit, but get the rubberised version. The white one is as slippy as a bar of soap :silly: Other than that, a case for a bargain price, with a great fit and overall quality!

I really like my black wallet case. :good:

Samsung Galaxy S10+ Plus Cases

I would love to hear your experience with the UAG cases when your phone arrives (I assume it hasn't yet, since you only shared the cases by themselves). Especially about how the front lips cover the tapered-off edges (am I still able to put the phone face-down and not have the screen touch the surface?) and how thicker the cases make the phone. Some extra photos with the phone inside would be great as well. Thank you for sharing!

Just search S10 Fabric Case on eBay there is no brand

My go to cases for every smartphone i have owned are from Ringke. I have the fusion clear case and the onyx case waiting for the phone to arrive. If incipio releases their NGP advanced case for the S10 plus, i will be all over it. Love the grip on that case.
Any other simple case, which has grip and is not big and bulky like the speck cases?

Feels amazing and has a good balance of protection and slim feeling, Just need the phone now!

I'm interested to hear what the other ceramic folks are going to use. I'm guessing a clear case would be the best to show off the premium material/color, but if anyone has other ideas, I'd like to hear about 'em.

Here's my stash

This is my phone case. I'm using this case for 3 days and very happy with it.
