Planning to get a clear case that showcases the S8+'s design, I believe that after spending hundreds of dollars the gorgeous back shouldn't be covered up...
I have 3 cases in mind, can anyone recommend me which one to get? Most importantly, which one of these cases wont discolor or turn yellow?
Galaxy S8 Plus Case Ultra Hybrid Jet Black
Ringke Fusion Smoke S8+
Samsung Galaxy S8+ Clear Protective Cover, Black (sale on amazon now)
Do yourself a favor and get a UAG feather lite case.

Hey guys,
Got my hands on the Neo Hybrid from SGP, this is a 2-piece hybrid style case that is unique from others as it features a plastic bumper instead of a shell. This allows for a much thinner overall form factor and different look. This is one sleek and stylish case! Although it doesn't provide much protection, it is a pleasure to use and surely to attract some looks! You can check it out completely in the video below;
not a fan of the case but good review
not a bad case, wouldn't mind adding it to my collection of auxiliary cases. where can it be purchased?

Thanks! You can buy it at http://www.sgpstore.com
Not the most protective but the only case that keeps the beautiful shape of the galaxy nexus. I would dare say it makes it look better. Don't know how they came up with it but its amazing. Someone noted that the silicone can sag after a bit but I don't think it will be as big of a problem with the design of it for this case. The rim will be snug... only chance of sagging could be the camera hole in the back.
My only regret after getting the matte silver is not also getting the black and reventon yellow as well!

It most definitely is! As I stated, it is aimed at quality and style over protection
Just went to the site and the only one I see is the Ultra Hybrid and an Ultra capsule. Wonder if they sold out or something. Anyone know the difference between the Neo and the Ultra Hybrid??

I just noticed that, weird. With regards to the Neo and Ultra Hybrids, the Neo Hybrid has a silicone inner layer and a polycarbonate bumper (comes in 2 pieces). Whereas the Ultra Hybrid has a TPU rim with a polycarbonate backing and is a 1 piece case.
Here is my case obsession lol . only like the ringke slim (white) rest will probably go on sale lol. cant believe i spent all the money in these damn cases
ringke mettalic
ringke blue
sgp ultra capsule soul black
sgp hybrid case
incipio feather
case mate pop case
android case a2 white,green,black
should i keep all these or sell it?
How's the fit and finish and feel of the "android" cases. Was it the color that determined your final decision or something else? Also what's your opinion on the sgp flex? Have you installed it yet? It seems like the best full coverage screen protector.
i love the finish and feel on android cases. ya color white and the feel on the ringke case made me keep only one. no i havnt used the flex yet. most these cases i used them once. cause i ordered them all together at sametime when all arrived i gave all of them 1 day try and endup with white ringke case

Should I go with a Spigen ultra capsule or a ultra hybrid? Been rocking mine nude but it's just too thin! I feel like I'm gonna crush it lol. Plus it get annoying trying to be "too" careful with it.
The yellow and black ultra capsule looks sick! Something different. I like how the black is matte and not glossy.
I would go with ultra capsule. Hybrid the silver part was scratching my hands but that's me. It might work for u

I like the color and style of the "android" cases but the giant android dude on the back really annoys me for some reason, I'd prefer it without.

Rock Quicksand
Spigen Modello (in chocolate)
SGP Lumi Hybrid
Samsung OEM TPU (covers micro usb and headphone ports)
Samsung Flip Cover

I don't have a top 3 but i've owned the trident aegis and neo hybrid and sent them both back cos of problems with the buttons.
currently I have the seidio active with kickstand which is ok but I find it slippy in the hand. I also have a cheap tpu case which is pretty good but got the acase super legerra this morning which is superb. good grip, not much bulk, buttons work great and fits perfectly and only £10!
Samsung orginal is the best one
poor build quality but best suitet
Look no further. The Acase Superleggera Pro is where it's at.

I use a Case Mate POP! For my Kickstand Case, a Spigen Modello for my thin case, and I just purchased 3 cheap duel layer mesh cases that I can change out the different color layers to mix things up. Hands down best case is the Acase.

have to agree with the acase.
Hey everyone.
I'm trying to find a case for my phone that doesn't obstruct the use of the buttons with other plastic. I got the otterbox commuter but the plastic that's used has changed since my last otterbox and it's now rigid and terrible. It makes it virtually impossible to press the buttons.
Anyone have a suggestion?
My Ballistic Case offers great protection and the buttons are fine. You don't have to use the display protector and I don't. I use a Zagg HD screen protector.

Spigen Ultra series...
If you are just looking to protect against scratches, the OEM Samsung cases are the best I have found. Obviously don't provide protection from drops, but ultra thin and add some grip to the phone. I picked up the white two-pack from Expansys. If you have the 50% off from Samsung accessories you can pick up the white/blue pack for $10 plus shipping and tax.

DBA Cases Ultra. Small company with an excellent product. Numerous color combinations available. They can be found on Amazon or their website. There is also a review here on XDA

DBA thin grip is the best case I've come across and it has huge cutouts for the buttons. Definitely worth checking out.

Rock quicksand series cover, it's a great case and has a nice grip to it!
I agree! I use only Ballistic, I tried 4 other cases including OB and the buttons are way to stiff for my own liking. Ballistic with a Zagg HD I highly recommend.
Thanks everyone
I have the PureGear DualTek Extreme Impact Case and it's really good. Non obstructive and provides good protection.

I was a fan of that Spigen case that everyone raves about, but my nexus 5 is a dinosaur and Spigen doesn't sell them anymore. Checked eBay too
Which cases are you using? I wanna buy one.
I don't use cases anymore, currently have it naked
I do have two, though. Spigen Slim Armor and Spigen Neo Hybrid. I found one here for the Neo: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spigen-Neo-Hybrid-Case-SERIES-for-Google-Nexus-5-/261317712822
I'm using Spiegen Slimarmor. It helped a lot my phone
I use this one: Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit TPU Case Compatible for Nexus 5 - Bluej
I really love Ringke slim. it fits perfectly.
I have really liked the SPIGEN Ultra Fit case. It is very slim and the plastic is very tough without being brittle. I use the black one and it has a matte finish similar to the matte finish of the Nexus 5 itself.
Ballistic cases for the nexus 5 are still available at a lot of cell carriers in Canada. I use a skin myself, my partner uses a grey and black ballistic I just bought her new last week at my local Koodo kiosk
Best case Fusion
I dropped my phone several times and still works,no cracks!
Also it feels really good.
