I generally like to have multiple cases for my phones. I have bought a couple of cases already without having the phone and would like to know which one you guys think is the best. These are the cases I have bought:

I havent heard many good things about the popcase that it may not provide enough protection. It looks cool though. I have the toughcase but its a dust magnet for starters and the silicone also gets in the way of my screen protector (zagg) at the corners. I have a diztronic tpu case and i like the fit of it better and its thin enough to not be too noticeable. So far i like it best but im still waiting for something better....like otterbox?
Yes, I can not wait for the otterbox. I also found a case for other phones called Sillicrylic (I think thats how you spell it) and that looks like an awesome case!
i think nude is better!
Hi, before I get my SGN i had a Desire HD with PoP case !
And I was very satisfied with it
Thank you, I just noticed that one of the ebay links is actually 7 cases, which is awesome so I can switch it out. I will let you guys know which one is best when I get them.

I have this one, and for £1.89 I think it is pretty fantastic. Looks and feels great!
Nay to all of the above
Why hide the Google design. If you look at the use of the phone, the corners are the most hit, so a bumper design is the best. the cases in this post like others I've found are thick and bulky for no real benefit.
iPhone is the best example of what we need.
"Can't paste the link as I'm too new but refer to Ebay "iPhone 4S bumper"
We need to push this design before making out pockets bulk up...
GNex Bumper case DIY
I made a simple DIY mod to turn a cheap case into a Bumper case.
Search instructibles.com for 'DIY Bumper Case for Galaxy Nexus' and it will come up.
I would like to keep my phone without a case but the fear of dropping or body wear would get under my skin.
I have a diztronic currently and I'm also ordering some cruzerlite cases.

I have a case obsession as well and have many for the Gnex. My latest is the otterbox commuter, which I really love - though its noteworthy that many people do not like this case. A good one as well is the Trident Agesis - I am waiting for this one to be release at the end of Feb.

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.
any ideas?
I am very happy with this guy.... received it yesterday.

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....

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

and version 2...

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:

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
Hello all,
I've been searching but haven't found any thread's on this yet. If there are, sorry for the repost .
I'm looking for a case for the Note with a hand strap. So far I've only come across the Zenus Galaxy Note Masstige Stripe Print Folder Series which have it.
(Which at this time I can't post a link towards apparently .......)
Does anyone know of any other cases with one of those bands for holding? I think it would be very convenient to have a feature like this on the case. However the striped looked of this particular Zenus doesnt really do it for me ...

I have the case you are referring to; its top notch... Excellent for the Note.
But, if u dont like the look u might be out of luck. I find it attractive.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
Sounds like something that would be doable to mod into other cases?
Thanks! Its good to hear that you like the case. I don't think I could easily apply the strap myself without it destroying the case ! I'm thinking of getting the zenus after all cos I haven't been able to find another with this option so far yet. Or another option for carrying comfort
Its very easy to make this strap, I made it myself.
I know this has probably been asked about a thousand times (if not more) and you're all probably sick of answering it, but searching for the word "clear" and "case" in the forum shows up a ton of stuff, so I figure it might be easier for me to just ask outright.
I'm basically looking for a clear, or as close to clear case as I can get, to protect my S3 but without adding too much bulk and weight. I have the blue S3 and I don't see the point in putting a black case around it, so does anyone know of any? I was looking on Amazon and they have a load of clear TPU cases (that are all pretty cheap) but I worry about getting third party or unofficial cases incase they cover the ports or something silly
So yeah, hit me with your recommendations guys and gals! And thanks

I have order two different clear cases and will be doing reviews of them as soon as they come in, which should be next Monday at the latest. Both of the ones I ordered were advertised and pictured as completely clear. You are right - there are a ton of them out there and, while seemingly the same, I don't think they are. I'll have pictures/impressions if you don't mind being patient. However, I'm sure you'll get plenty of results in this thread.
Good Luck!
Awesome! I look forward to your reviews. Would you mind posting the links in here when you put them up, just so that I definitely look at them and find them easily?
Thanks a lot

I just got this case last night and haven't had enough time with it to write/record a proper review, so I thought I'd direct you to my pictures of it in another thread on this forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30362349&postcount=50
My first impressions: very light and virtually zero bulk. The case must be less than 1mm thick, so you can hardly notice that is even there. It clearly (no pun intended) will protect the back of the phone quite well; however, one can notice that the top and the bottom of the phone aren't well protected. This is unfortunately the drawback to non-bulky hard cases, and other shell cases have the same issue (such as my elago G5 Breathe Case that I posted in that same forum thread). I will be getting other clear cases in the coming days and should be able to post pictures and impressions of them in this forum.

That's the one i'm using right now. It's a "Frosted" clear case... in that it's not entirely transparent, but you can still see some blue through it. Can actually still see the AT&T and Galaxy S3 logo's plain as day for some odd reason through it. If you'd like, i could snap a few quick pics.
Beware: Those clear (transparent) cases, tend to turn yellow over time.
I have the one from Monoprice as well. I really like it, and for the price, you can't beat it if you want a clear case and minimum bulk.

You could possibly buy it from http://www.rearthusa.com/OnePlus-One-Case-Protection-Absorption/dp/B00MQ72YTK ? I'm saying possibly because I kept getting weird error messages while signing up as a new customer.
My experience from the past tells me that similar case from Spigen is much better than Ringke. I wish Spigen had a ultra hybrid case for OPO, but it seems very unlikely so far.

Speigen told me they have no plans of supporting the OnePlus. I even asked if it was a typo because it's really weird they'd support the amazon fire phone which will sell like 15 units (sarcasm) but the OnePlus won't? They again confirmed it wasn't a typo and they won't be making cases for the OnePlus.
Hm wow nice. So ringke changed their mind and are now making a case. Was a fan of their fusion case for the nexus 4, their nexus 5 case not so much due to the sharp edges. I hope that there's a version that is black and not the clear version as this case.

Looks pretty good and probably the nicest clear case at the moment.
Glad to see another company make a case, had a ringke fusion bumper for my 5s and loved it.

What I like about Ringke's clear version of their case is that the back isn't busy. OnePlus's official transparent case was like that, but it was flimsy and apparently didn't always fit. Tudia's case is more sturdy, but the details of the transparent version interfere with the look of the phone. If the product graphic is accurate, then the Fusion case will combine the best of both transparent versions of the earlier cases and avoid the defects of either one.

What do you mean by it isn't busy? That it reveals the back?
The Ringke's Fusion series all show the back, the only difference are the sides of the phone. Instead of that being clear its a specific color. See http://www.amazon.com/PROTECTION--E...8215367&sr=8-3&keywords=Nexus+5+Hybrid+Fusion
They also offer "Slim" which is a hard case similar to the official OPO hard case.
But yeah, I've heard bad things about the OPO official cases and how it didn't fit properly or how the hard case cracked after a couple days use.

I explained my issues with the clear version of the Tudia case in this review:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/accessories/review-tudias-tpu-case-problem-t2841695
The frosted part of the case is exactly where you don't need it: on the middle, largest and widest area, which obscures the sandstone and custom back covers you might have have wanted to show off. The only reason I wanted a transparent case was to feature the back cover. This case doesn't do that. . . . [Also], the details of the design conflict with those of the half-exposed OPO, both highlighting and obscuring logos and lines of text. Additionally, the Tudia logo runs sideways vertically beside the horizontal Cyanogen text and logo, which makes the back of your new minimalist phone look like a complicated double exposure. . . . The division between the clear and frosted portions of the case are accentuated by a line of thinner transparent plastic, which segments the OPO into three sections.

Until now, I haven't had the Tudia with me to photograph because I don't use it. I brought it home from work yesterday and will try to take a few pictures at some point this weekend.

I didn't mean to ask about Tudia. I meant about being "busy" I was confused on what you meant by that definition.
But other than that, I really do like the Ringke Fusion cases, hopefully this time around they won't have the sharp edges problem. Do note that the back of the case tends to attract finger prints on the back.

When I say "busy," I mean that extra design elements in a clear case can obscure or fight the design of the back of the OnePlus One. Given that one of the phone's features is supposed to be a customizable back cover, showing off the back cover is one of the reasons to buy a transparent case. But if you divide the case into three segments, obscure part of the back with a less transparent frost color, and place your vertical brand logo so that it crisscrosses the Cyanogenmod logo and the print beneath it, then you've added clutter and occlusions to the back of the device which, in my opinion, should look clean.
In the graphic on Amazon, the back of the Ringke case looks less busy -- i.e., cleaner -- than any clear case for the OPO that I've seen so far.
But other than that, I really do like the Ringke Fusion cases, hopefully this time around they won't have the sharp edges problem. Do note that the back of the case tends to attract finger prints on the back.

I assumed that shiny clear plastic might attract fingerprints but didn't know that Ringko cases sometimes had sharp edges. Thanks for making me aware of that.
Ahh I understand what you mean. Well for the Nexus 5 they had sharp edges on their case, their Nexus 4 case did not. Rearth does have good customer support though and their cases are pretty cheap. I wouldn't have a problem with ordering from Rearth. In the past they've sent a defective case where it wasn't a tight fit and they replaced the case for free without having me send the defective case back. I think the problem was eventually resolved but not 100% sure.
