Olixar X-Duo, has a carbon fiber style back and a metallic bumper which looks SO good, I tried capturing it but my photo skills are kinda lacking, but this case looks great.
Got 2 tough cases, think I'll keep the UAG and give my brother the other as I quite like the front cover on the UAG though the kickstand is quite cool haha.
This Ultra-Thin case is ultra thin. Definitely not going to give protection but I love how near invisible it is.
Spigen Neo Hybrid, I really like the blue and it matches quite well with my phone I think.
FlexiShield, boring gel case is boring but <3 purple
The Alcantara Cover, have been using this since I got my phone and I loved it at first and it feels really good but... yeah doesn't look so great anymore. I'm quite sad about this, if anybody has any tips to keep it looking good please share!!
I thought I'd get this wallet case as I have a lot of key passes for work but I don't know, they're just not really my thing I guess.
Spigen Rugged Armor, I like how thin it is but apart from that it's rather boring
Spigen Slim Armor, this is probably my favorite case! I love the color, especially in combination with the black, I was afraid the black would bother me but it is honestly so cool. The kickstand looks a little flimsy tbh but I think it'll be fine.
If you were considering any of these and have any questions let me know
Good post, thanks for all the pics. Quite a collection
Good post, thanks

Hey, thanks, that's awesome!
There is something weirdly uncomfortable about the statement "Old stains of unknown origin"
The way we (other owners and myself) clean the steering wheels/shift boots/ebrake boot/etc. in cars I've had that are made of Alcantara is to take distilled water and add a drop of dawn, then rub the alcantara down with that lightly with a terry rag, then use a soft toothbrush to brush it back to being "fluffy" or "full" looking and then let it dry overnight.
I'm looking for the thinnest clear case possible, how is the fit on the Olixar? Are the sides tight, or all loose and floppy?

It's really good actually, I was a bit worried about that myself cause I've had many cheap Amazon cases that are made of flimsy gel material but this one fits great. It's never going to give you much protection apart from superficial scuffs etc. but that's exactly what I want from it and the fit is good so no dirt getting in

perfect case for me, as im a big fan of the TPU cases in cases in general, had some for my Blackberry before i bought my Captivate.... the cutouts for the charger port/headphone jack/speaker/camera are all perfect, the case fits snug, volume and power buttons arent restricted at all. the case doesnt add much bulk, and the TPU material adds a sure grip on the device.
only dislike i have is the color, i ordered Blue and i thought itd be more of a royal blue, rather than the almost turquoise-ish color that i received. no bother though, ive already put in an order today for the smoke gray.
Looks great. Waiting for pictures of the smoke grey one when that comes in . Big fan of these type of cases but I'd prefer a simple black/dark grey without patterns.
Are the Power/Volume buttons covered or opened?

How's the overall fit? Loose? There are reviews on vibrant amzer cases on amazon and they say they fit loose.
Thanks for the pictures. Looks like a great case except I can't get over the pattern... it makes me sad. Is it too much to ask for a plain black or plain clear tpu case without funky patterns?
yeah argyle is so 90s

yeah, i wish there was a clear one, but i was waiting for a tpu case from the time i bought the phone so i went ahead and bought this one. hopefully someone comes with a clear one soon though.
What is tpu? Hard or soft, or both? Just wondering because i have a clear plastic case over the phantomskinz white chromatics carbon fiber skin, and lets just say its a tight squeeze. I just ordered a clear gel case from mr. hit and I don't think its gonna cooperate with my belt pouch very well. Something like this IMO would look great over the white chromatics skin. I know it sounds like overkill but I am a freak about protection as I resell all of my old phones to party for the new ones.

TPU is a medium between hard and soft.... its a plastic, a rather firm plastic, but it bends|flexes|gives, but always retains its elasticity - no matter how many times you might put it on and take it off of your phone, itll never get loose and worn, messing up its fit on the device. also does a decent job of shock absorption in the event of drops.
Cool thanks. Wondering now if it will fit well over the chromatics

i'd like one of those but in a dark purple or black
I love this case because it's different than the usual Body Glove case from AT&T that everybody has. I got the clear one and it is a little grippier than the Body Glove case but I like having that extra grip in the hand.

Great TPU Case for Captivate
I bought purple, green and hot pink for my Cappy. I love these. They fit the phone perfectly. No loseness. But easy enough to remove to switch out colors. I wasn't that wild about the argyle pattern either but this is the only TPU type case which is what I had and loved on my iPhone. TPU material is good for gripping but slides in and out of your pocket easily unlike silicone.
I bought the purple and it's a real nice shade.
Someone else posted pictures of the smoked grey on androidforums

Looks like I might have to pick this one up sometime, too.

Do you have a screen protector of any kind on your Captivate?
P.S: Also, what camera were those photos taken with!?
does anyone have it in red and can share pics?
i'd love to see pics of the other colours like purple or green, etc
OP please cut your nails, I almost lost my soda when I saw that, and there seems to be dirt under them as well, and maybe a small hair.
There are many hard cases on the market and most feel like hard plastic shells. This case actually feels like rubber with the stiffness of plastic. It just feels like quality. It also manages to come about 1/4 of an inch further on the bottom and top to cover more area. The cutouts around the power and volume rockers are recessed which make a world of difference when pushing the already almost flush buttons. It also give extremely good grip. I dropped my first galaxy s3 with a casemate on it and that case didn't have any bottom or top protection and my phone suffered. I posted a picture of the damage and the casemate. If it were in the rearth it would have survived without a scratch. I can't say enough how good this case feels in the hand. Its a really slick phone and it needs a grippy case.

Glad to hear a good review. I ordered one of these for my preordered S3.:fingers-crossed:
I ordered this, the casemate barely there, the Nilkin hard case, and I bought an Affinity smoke glass hardshell from Bestbuy that I was planning to return once I got one of the cases I ordered but boy does it look nice. I might keep it. It looks gorgeous.
Is there any angle that would hit the bottom or top edge if you dropped it? like facing 45 degrees forward?

No there isn't unless it falls on a squared edge. Plus the rubbery coating gives extra protection.
if i ever buy a hardcase for my galaxy it will be this one.
glad to hear it works well.
Wow. After this case came, on the website they are giving away lanyard strap with it.......
could you post some pics of the phone with the case on it?
Thanks
Had the Slim on my SII and my Note. Absolutely loved them.
If I had a III this would be the case for me without a doubt.
It's a shame that they don't have any plans to release one for the One X.

Ordered one last night. Never used a case on my Epic 4G but that's because they were a pain to find. Looks thin enough which was my only concern. Didn't want to add on a lot of extra bulk. Thanks

I could but they wouldn't do any justice to the pics on the rearth website.
I bought one of these for my Note. For the $30 I paid for it, I expected more. Why they don't make the plastic go all the way around the bezel is beyond me. I will pass on this one for the S3.
I think it would be fragile, that the reason no cases manufacturer makes a case like this with the bottom and the top covered.
Just ordered mine, thanks for the recommendation.
It took me a while though as I could not find a slime case!

http://www.rearthusa.com/galaxy_s3_ringke_case
i think it's the size of the phone. large, but thin, that makes me feel like it will not take a fall very gracefully. fingers crossed until the case arrives.
oh also, in case anyone is having problems googling the case... it's Rearth Ringke Slim (the OP is missing a "g" and added the "e" in slime LOL)
This is an advertisement, not a review.
Got my Ringke Slim the other day. Similar to my Galaxy Nexus one, except it doesn't protect the top and bottom and it doesn't come with a screen protector or rubber port protectors. Overall I love it though, very thin. But after receiving my ROCK case, I'll probably use that more often. If you're looking for something that will make it look like you don't have a case on it, this is it.

Just got mine today, black. Not sure I'm thrilled with it. It's thinner than the Tudia Dual. Doesn't feel as protective. It didn't "hug" the phone as well as I was hoping it would, the Tudia is a nice slim snug fit. Not much of a lip over the front of the phone screen. The silver bezel on the top/bottom of the phone is visible with it on.

There's something strange, something wrong on this case...
Just an update, I stopped using the Orzly Fusion case, even on the Bamboo the case is loose (or maybe because it's on the Bamboo and it's thicker so it's not hugging the phone properly).
posted this on google+ originally
Orzly Oneplus One case came in yesterday. Very satisfied and happy that it fits perfectly with the Bamboo Swapstyle cover. The buttons are tough as hell to press but it's not a deal breaker. Plus the shine effect the clear back gives to my OnePlus is a beauty.

Clench your phone, as if you're trying to compress the lips over your phone sides, you will feel like it has movement as if it really is loose.
I found the same thing. Fit is nowhere near as snug as I would have liked it to be, and I would have much preferred a bit more lip for screen protection.
I just received this too. It's an okay case.. NOT a fan of clear rears. But for 5 bucks not bad.
...
Iv had this for about 2 weeks. i love the case. I believe bigballa on the xda community has posted some really helpful pics. The fitting around the sides is perfect and access to all ports is spot on as well. Iv read some odd amazon reviews but i really cant fault this case. Shows the back of my phone nicely whilst offering great protection
kind of glad i got the diztronic instead, is recommend it I might pick up the fusion later on
Remove back Plastic
Hi,
Same here seems that it is realy thinn and not so protective. We will see after some drops (I hope It will not happen soon).
I remove all the plastic back part (with a dremel: Grinding and Cuting head) to preserve the sandstone back feel of the phone and to keep the weight down. Its is quite good, the case is still well in place, not so loosy. There is a litle loose in the midle of the long border. If I redo this operation I will keep a litle platic stripe between the midle of the long borders.
I will try to cut the back of an Diztronic case to compare the overall rigidity.
Regards,
+ 9h nilkin tempered glass screen protector
I've had the clear version of this case for about a couple months and have dropped it several times. No damage, just some small chips on the edges of the nilkin tempered glass screen
I have the case about 5 days, but I send it back, there are some problems with it.
First the polycarbonat back scratches really easy and looks bad, second is the case not fits at the top and bottom, so there can enter a lot of dust.
I can not recommend this case
The back transparent easy to scratch. Demmittt.
I actually really love this case. It is much slimmer than the ringke fusion and actually maintains the shape of the opo with minimal bulk. Also, I made my own template (much like I did with the ringke fusion) So I can have custom backs.
The one downside is quality control though. When I got the case, one of the plastic protective sheets was positioned halfway down the back and there was a small scratch on the top right hand corner.
That said, this is still my favourite case.

My guess is because the phone is being advertised as being pretty resilient against normal abuse, like drops, dings, etc. That, and that its made of metal.
I'm thinking that case companies are figuring that the phone can already withstand drops, so all it needs is scratch protection and many a little extra grip in the hand.

^That. I'm probably going to do whatever I can find that doesn't add much bulk but keeps the screen and cameras off of surfaces. Other than that, I just want to protect it from scrapes and minor dings. I really like this phone bare but you never know.
That's what a lot of people said with v10.... Then some broke.... I guess it's the risk you take...

I ordered the Poetic Affinity case (http://www.poeticcases.com/affinity-blackclear-for-lg-v20) and have it on my phone now. It's really grippy and feels like a tank, but I feel it may be too big. This is already a big phone and seems really durable, so I think this may be too much case. I was looking at the Ringke Onyx, but I worried that they may have the same issue. I have a ringke fusion on the way. I would post photos, but this is my only phone at the moment.
Please post impressions of the ringke onyx when you guys get them regarding how bulky they make the phone. Thanks!

I do feel that all this phone needs is something to keep the screen from hitting anything and the camera lens and that a TPU case would be all it needs. I love how the thing looks out of a case, but the aluminum is just a bit too slick and I don't want to risk marring my pretty new phone, durable or not.
So I bought the Spigen Rugged Armor and it's just too slippery, can't hardly hold on to the phone with it on. ?
Can anyone recommend a pretty slim case that offers a lot of grip? Something with a rubberized costing on the back maybe. Don't know.. just want something that keeps the phone on my hand.. ?

I got this one and really like it.
Bear Motion for LG G6 - Ultra Slim Case for LG G6 2017 Release - Sand (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XCFHYYW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Wn5bzbJSD34EG
Just know that it is not the most durable. I take it off and put it back on a lot, and it started to crack in places. Mine is also not perfectly centered over the buttons...lol. describing it like this makes it sound horrible, but it is probably one of my favorite cases I've ever owned. If you want some extra protection (the Bear motion is minimalist in this regard) and grip while still keeping it pretty slim, I'd go for the Speck Presidio Grip.

Nice, saw those a while ago actually. I wish they'd cover the top and bottom edges as well though and not just the sides.
What do they feel like? The Bear Motion that is.
The Speck one looks pretty grippy. Not sure about the actual look of it though-

I think I'd describe the feel as rubberized sand paper. It is rough, kind of like sand paper, and even though it isn't made of rubber (more of a hard plastic), it feels sort of rubbery in my hand. I'm pretty horrible at describing it:silly:.
argh, I would like the Bear Motion but nobody sell it in europe

Nah, sounds good mate, thanks! ?
I really wish Ringke would have made their Slim case for the G6. Had it on my Nexus 6 and loved the feel of it. It had a good rubbery texture.
Anyone know if Spigen's Thin one is similar?
In case anyone else is looking for something similar I ended up buying the Spigen Thin Fit and it's pretty much perfect! I kind of wish it'd cover the top and bottom edges but at least it covers the corners and I'm loving the feel of it. It's got a perfect rubberized texture that gives plenty of grip.
Nillkin nature is an awesome slim case. Very slim and perfect cutouts.

Nice! I've had that case for my Nexus 6 and besides it yellowing it was pretty spot on.
The Nature comes in darker colors, less prone to turn yellowish. Mine is 'gray', and has been holding up pretty good for about six months.
I prefer TPU cases. This is the one that I purchased. https://www.amazon.com/Cruzerlite-C...JJV5/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1494806314&sr=8-2
It comes in several different colors.

Wasn't available over here without paying way too much for the shipping. ?
Like on S6 i bought Nillkin Nature best Slim grippy case ever.
I like Nillkin too, i have bought Nillkin's Synthetic fiber and Super Frosted Shield. and winner is Super Frosted Shield.
They have newer, more like rubber matterial than on Super Frosted for older phones (i have Super Frosted for Nexus 5x and Xiaomi Redmi 1S), so grip is fantastic.
And display protection is much better with Super Frosted too.
Also i have dbrand's vinyl (carbon series) and after more than week it's still slippery. I hope slickwraps natural series black leather will be better.
I ended up just making my own with this case plus some of this grip tape. The grip on cases is never 'grippy' enough so this works great!
I rock the Nillkin slim hard shell
Awesome idea
