Case-Mate has released a T989 Barely There Case

Just FYI
**UPDATE**
I know not many of you are into the minimal protection/"Flare" cases, so there's another way you can contribute to Case-mate extending the T989 case lineup. Goto Case-mate's Facebook page and click on the Feedback link on the left column. Search for T989 Cases and vote for it. Obviously, you can see where I'm getting at. If we can get enough votes, it would convince Case-mate to extend the lineup.

If you use the promo code "fblike20". You can get it for $20 shipped.

So I go to the case-mate website, I see casemate selling a cool ass Marvel comics cases for Iphone 4/4s and I search for the t-mo case and I see this crap case! I want a god damn Iron Man Case.

too bad it only comes in the boring black color, otherwise i'd try one.

On the site it does say it comes in metallic silver but its not listed yet. I will be picking that one up when it is released.

looks no different from the incipio feather cases except incipio offers more colors

People were reporting fitting problems with the Incipio case though.

Looks very similar to the diztronic amazon case....

Thanks for the heads up, been wanting another case to keep in my rotation... a pity only black atm

Im very happy with my Incipio case and the fitting is perfect .. But i'll try this one aswell too see the difference.

Dang, how come the T989 has the least cases
Welp, thanks, but I dislike snap on cases. They don't look that great to be honest.

Yeah, I was hoping for a POP! case but it's obvious Case-mate doesn't see much promise in the T989 and wanted to test the waters. Hopefully spreading the word would result in enough purchases for them to release more colors or more cases x(>.<)x

Are you kidding? How does a slim form fitting case look worse than those thick wrap around cases?

It just looks weird to be honest, dislike the open parts like the top and bottom.
Doesn't really provide protection from drops...
I LOVE the D30 case. It doesn't really add any bulk, I think it makes it more comfortable in my hands and it definitely provides the added protection.
It's either no protection and a naked phone or if I was going to use a case I'd use something that actually provided protection.
Just my .02 cents. We all have different opinions, no hate.

Im after a thin case

I've searched ebay top to bottom for a thin as possible leather case but cant find 1.
i dont want the case to be bulky or to protect the whole phone, its simply to stop any dust and any scratches to the phone.

That looks perfect for me, just what im after, but is ordering 1 from there ok?
Im based in london and the price on there is showing in euro's i think.
is there any english sites that sell these?
if not, this is the sort of case im after, but i want leather rather than rubber....

FOUND IT....
but there is 2 versions of it? whats the difference???
here is version 1...

and version 2...

only version 2 is available on amazon, but i cant even see what the difference is???
anyone???

Unfortunately stilgut v2 is made of PU leather, not of genuine one.

http://www.stilgut.com/fuer-samsung-galaxy-note/ultra-slimcase-v2-f-galaxy-note-n7000---cognac.php

Stilgut seems to sell by its own and ships to GB. I would suggest this one that's made of real leather:
http://www.stilgut.com/fuer-samsung-galaxy-note/exkl-ledertasche-ultraslim-f-galaxy-note-buchtyp.php But it has no stand function.
I don't know if you can find stilgut v1 anywhere to buy since they seem to have replaced v1 (real leather) with v2 (faux leather).
Anyways, many people seem to be happy with their stilgut v2 made of faux leather. But personally I don't like this material.
Edit: Great thing about stilgut cases is that they don't use magnets (which may interfere with your note / s-pen) to close the case. They use a pretty clever solution.

If i go ahead and buy this 1, do you think there would be any problems? or will it be simple as buy it, pay for it, give details and await delivery?

Of course I cannot promise anything since I have nothing to do with that company. But it's a confidential German manufactor from Berlin where many of my friends including myself bought cases for different devices and there was not one single problem so far. Very slim, great quality!
I have no stilgut case for my galaxy note, so I don't know the one I suggested you. But on the pictures it looks good.

If a pouch style is acceptable to you,I'm very happy with mine from Lucrin... a bit costly,but the leather is very high quality and I find the thin pouch very easy to slip in and out of any pocket. I also have one for my xoom. Just google Lucrin.

Ah, ok, in pouch style I can recommend this bag, which I own:
http://www.amazon.de/mumbi-Galaxy-N...D89I/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1337351242&sr=8-4
(maybe available in UK too, don't know.)
Great quality, real leather, perfect fit, very cheap.

Thanks - Great quality and choice of colours it seems..
would you mind posting pics of your case please? Can you please comment on practicality of the case - is it cumbersome to keep taking the phone out of the case everytime you want to use it or see who's calling?? does it offer much protection against a fall? cheers

Best protective case?

I would get the otterbox defender but it does not look like it will be purchasable any time soon.
Having a kickstand would be a plus but.. the most important thing is if it can protect a phone from falls very well. I don't want a broken phone.
Edit: This looks like everything I want but I can't find a place to buy it.

I have heard a lot good about this.
Bought it myself, just no phone to test it in.
Diztronic TPU cases are also supposedly good, but probably not what you are looking for.

Might be too bulky but similar to the OP's request: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLK-BLUE-IM...316912?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a76262e70

That phone looks more like the Otterbox Commuter, no built in screen protector :/ I would really prefer that but I might go with that for a temp case.

No Otterbox for our Nexus5

I want to inform you that I just had a little talk with someone from Otterbox.
I asked him if they were planning make a case for the Nexus 5. After disappearing for 10 minutes he just told me that they are not planning on making a case for that device!
Too bad! My colleague has it on his Iphone and my mom on her S4, and I think Otterbox cases are great.
Any recommendation for something similar? I'm pretty rough with my phones :/

Trident cases are better in every way, well known with those who use such cases. Also, I would trust nothing that *someone at Otterbox* told you. Odds are, they were talking out of their ass unless you happen to know someone in the RnD department.

Spigen Slim Armor seems popular. There are eBay cases as well. The Armorbox is getting some attention as well by iBlason. All of these options are much less expensive than an otter.

If your lucky Ballistic may make a case, other than that i doubt there will be much of anything that has the double layered bulky thing going on

Very, very true. I once used Otterbox commuter cases (Hero and GS2), but then I discovered the Trident Aegis and it literally is better in every way on the GS2. I even bought more of them for my family members. Trident uses dust filters over the speakers and mic that really help keep debris out of those very important openings on the phone. I did however have a bad experience with a defective (or maybe poorly designed) Kraken case from Trident. It was made of a much cheaper feeling plastic and the power button broke off on the first time I used it. I will give them the benefit of the doubt that the item I got was a lemon. I hope they make an Aegis for the N5, I bet it will be great.

They take time to make theirs, but they did make one for the Galaxy nexus. Given a week or 3 I will bet they will have one. Could always email them and ask.

I don't know about the quality because I've never tried this brand, but it looks comparable to the UAG, otterbox commuter or trident aegis.

Thanks for the heads up, I noticed even the render looks pretty ghetto lol

Damn I was hoping for a case along the lines of the Defender, Armor, or Preserver series from them. =\
I still have my Trident Kraken case for my Galaxy Nexus. The case made the GNex really thick but it had a kickstand and really good protection!

Better this way!

Well there is no way to know that they aren't gonna make an Otterbox for this phone. If the market is there, they will make it. Just because the fella this guy talked to doesn't know about one doesn't mean there isn't one, or won't be one. Just cross your fingers and maybe e-mail them about it!

I concur, I remember times in the past where different reps said different things. And in the end, something completely different happens. You never know. I just with there could be a Lifeproof or Armor

It seems that every time when a new nexus device comes out. There is always a thread similar to this. Otterbox are not very friendly towards nexus devices, there are alternatives out there.
As I always say, don't beg a company to make a case for a particular phone. If they don't make it, go to a competitor of Otterbox and give them your money instead.

I used a SEIDIO case on my Nexus 4 and I liked it, though I would have preferred an Otterbox. The Active case I had is sort of like an inverted Otterbox Defender--silicone on the inside and an outer plastic covering. I liked that it did NOT have a built-in screen protector.
Anyway, I contacted SEIDIO to see if they had anything in the works and it appears they do:
Hello Danny,

Looking for Apple Smartcase / Google Pixel Case texture/feel

Hey guys, I like the silicone (not hard plastic) type of feel to the case - any recommendations for something similar to the Apple smartcase/Google Pixel cases? They have a really tight fit, add little bulk, and are _very_ grippy most importantly (to me anyway).
Thanks in advance

have you checked out the ones from nillkin? i ordered them off aliexpress and waiting for it still but i haven't even gotten the phone yet. lolol.
i trust my nillkin cases, they're always great quality and guards my phone well. the v20 ones has the port protectors as well. the other which i used for my OPO comes with the tactile exterior.
search it up on your fav search engine since i don't know if i can post the links around.

I'm really likeing this one, not as bulky as my Ringke case and A LOT grippier too.

Screw that. Where are the live cases like Google had for the 5X/6P and current pixels. And no I don't want one of those NFC stickers with several buttons. I want it built into case and preferably custom like the live case. Can't go wrong with unique and functional.
