Anyone have a suggestion for what kind of case will give me the rubberized feel that the HTC phones have (their backplates). Or if you can't think of a specific case, what kind of material I should be looking into>
I don't want a gel case I think cause its too rubberish and stick and hard cases are just bad. What's a good mix in-between?

Just look down before you start a new thread.
I did read all of that before posting. Unfortunately I am looking for a full-fledged case, not a skin or coat I put on the phone. I want something that will protect the phone from a full drop which is not a gel or hard case.
I have this one, it's a hardcase with rubber coating similar to G1, plus perforated holes for better grip. Best looking case in the market at the moment IMO.
"Mesh" case for i9000

vuvsion I have been following the forum very closely. I know of these cases and was considering getting one for the LONGEST time. They DO look great. But if you drop it, your phone is ****ed. It doesn't cover the edges. I don't really care its backplate (i can replace that easy enough). The sides though, are not replacable.
The mesh case covers the back but not the edges. It's pretty but not drop-proof. Do you know of anything LIKE it that covers more of the phone. Cause that would be perfect.
Perhaps one of the case-mate cases would have that same feeling, but since it's still in design stage, it'll take awhile for them to release anything.
Do you know if Case-Mate is even working on a model for the Vibrant/Galaxy S? I just looked at their site and they have VERY few cases for past Samsung phones.

Yup saw that like 3 minutes after posting. Voted on their case-mate forum too. I just hope it doesn't take a month for them to be out.
The body gloves are quite nice

I've ordered the 2nd and didn't get it yet but I'm afraid it will be crappy
I ordered one similar and tbh took it off after a day it made the phone look so ugly i have found some more exp ones for £15 which look good but tbh im sticking with my screen protector and thats it .
Yes, first one.
Fits perfect, its durable.
I always make sure i get the gel case not the silicone ones as they really attract the dirt/dust , and some say they have a special coating , "YEAH RIGHT"

I gave up, ordered Rearth case and screen protectors
Should have got one of these.

The textured sides give very nice grip. The description says silicon/gel, but I'm told by someone on this forum it's actually TPU. I can tell you it's nice and firm and feels very protective. Bought mine from a shop called chitterchatter for £5, where I also got my phone from too. Case is even cheaper on ebay. Here's pics I took of mine. Screen protector needs redoing, too many bubbles, lol.

I originally bought one of those silicone ones in the first post, it was quite loose on my phone and the surface kind of stuck to my jeans pocket making it annoying to take out, so I then bought one of the gel/tpu cases that looks identical to the one in the post above, which does a sterling job.

I bought this from ebay for £2.90 and am very pleased with it, collects a bit of dust at the bottom but a lift and gentle blow gets rid of that. Feels grippy and adds a nice bit of bulk to the phone aswell.
About six weeks ago, I bought 4 TPU cases very similar to those mentioned in the OP, for US $8.00. Fortuitously, they arrived on the same day I took delivery on the SGS2. They fit pretty well, although the long sides are a little loose, but not enough to be a danger of slipping off. On my case, the power & volume switches are covered by the case, which has button skins stamped into it. The back is textured with a diamond pattern, and the sides look slick but do have some grip.
Like most cases, it has the top right corner cut out to accommodate the antenna on the Korean version of the SGS2. The first few days I had the case, I noticed it attracted quite a bit of dust, but that appears to have subsided in the last few weeks. Overall, it's much better than I'd have expected a $2 case to be; I'd bought 4 figuring they'd be so crappy that only one of them would fit well, or they'd fail in short order and I'd have to upgrade to a CaseMate, PDAir, or Krusell.

I picked up one like that from Amazon. I sent it back today. It did not fit well and I hated that it would not slide in and out of my pocket easily. It also attracted lint from my pocket.
I prefer a hard case.
I have my eyes on a SGP Silke case.

Just ordered the above case, initially had the same type from the same seller for my Atrix and it was a really good case.... Lets hope this is just as good
Yea, i bought 2. But you need them TPU one's and not those gel covers. Mine fits pretty wel and worth the 2 bucks.
I bought one S line TPU case, but I find it prety hard to press the buttons. overall it's a really nice case fits perfectly (hard to take off )
i decided to buy this aluminium one :
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAMSUNG-GALAX..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item1c1c8cc497
It is really nice! although the silicone part attracts some dust, but not much, the mic holes are not perf cut, but no problems during calls etc.
Hi all,
I am looking for a clear or white TPU case for my white Z3C. I have attempted to read the cases thread but there are over 800 posts and a lot of them seem mainly concered with magnetic charging dock compatitbility, which I don't have.
Can anyone recommend me a case please? My criteria would be:
- Clear or white, not too bulky.
- Adds a little grip
- Good protection from accidental drops - I admit I am a little clumsy with my phone at times.
- has space to put a tempered glass screen protector on the front.
- ideally needs either usb OR magnetic cut-out but not really both as I will only use one or the other. And I will buy a magnetic cable, not a dock, so it won't need to fit in one.
I have looked at the Cruzerlife bugdroid. But I just don't like the droid on the back... I would much prefer completely plain.
Any advice?
I think Ringke fusion is the one you are looking for.
Take a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/accessories/z3-compact-thread-t2879996 you will find many feedback for Ringke and other cases
Thanks, I will have a look at that one.
I saw the Orzly fusion - has anyone seen both the Ringke and the Orzly in real life to compare them?
I did try to read that thread, but there are over 800 posts and a huge amount of them are dedicated to whether the case will allow the phone to stilll be used in the magnetic charging dock, and not many seem to discuss how well the phone would be protected in case of a fall.

I have both for months. The only case I have been using is the Ringke. In my opinion it wins by a mile!
Thanks, that is helpful!
Can I ask why you think the ringke is better?

In any aspect it's better.
The actual housing of the Ringke is a lot more durable.
The Ringke feels very well in hand and offers very good grip.
I dropped the phone on purpose and nothing happened and I really wasn't afraid of doing it.
Some/most complain about the Ringke floppyness of the case at the left side that blocks the flaps, I think they did that on purpose and unless you keep the phone in the case most of the times there really is no problem.
I'm using the one from Nillkin very sleek not slippery at all fits perfectly on a magnetic dock and preserve the beauty of my Z3 although there's a little brand name but you rarely notice it price around 4-5$ not bad at all for the beauty and security it can give.
And oh the cut around the USB and memory card slot are quite long perfect for the z3 dual D6633 owners.
iam in the army and have to throw around my phone, what strong case to keep it well protected do you recommend?
also i have the bamboo back cover, it wont cause certain cases to not fit right?
found this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/TUDIA-Ultra...288743?hash=item3aae4b87e7:g:~IgAAOSw3ydVrFdy
thoughts on it? is it a good brand?
You have searched the best tough case .. I am using it for more than 3 months .. If you manage to broke your phone in this case then you are going through very very bad luck .. In short you can't find better rough and tough case like this ...
Also it.works well with bamboo and tamepered glass ..
Sent from Bacon (Oneplus One)
thanks for replying , iam worried about its built in screen protecter though, does the screen still look as good through it? no blur or anything? how does it feel to the touch?
There are cases which gives you a sturdy look, gives additional bulk to the device. There are ones which intelligently cover your device in vulnerable places so that falls on any direction wont affect your device. Buy ones like that
well my suggestion is not army proof.. so good choice !!
I have this http://g02.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1RWNN...th-Stand-For-one-plus-one-For-OnePlus-One.jpg
2 pieces, dual armour(called). One TPU and one external hard plastic - very safe and if you put a NISSIN(chinese company) tempered glass ..don't worry about anything(almost anything)

diztronic. it is the best i have used. you can buy it on amazon or flipkart.
Pelosi sandstone back cover. Maintains the same feel with providing enough protection to the phone.
diztronic is very tough and good I use it as well
I love my diztronic, very strong case and good build material
I got Diztronic Ultra TPU Case for OnePlus One - Full Matte Black

It's a little bit expensive but It worth all of money!
Proved!
Tudia slimfit cygen, perfect fit , awesome look and perfectly secured from damage :good:
I searched everywhere for recommendations for a case with OUT a cover. I wanted just a case that covered the back and as slim as possible and with some grip but NOT sticky. I took a chance and bought this case for my 9.7" because I'm new I can't post a link but search eBay for X-Line Shape Soft TPU Rubber Gel Case Cover For Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0"/9.7" the seller is hksanho I highly recommend it as it fits perfectly, is extremely well made (actually I'm shocked at how perfect the molding is) gives grip and is not sticky. I have a Gold Tab S2 and I bought the grey, it perfectly compliments it, further giving it the titanium look. Best of all it took only 6 days from time of order to delivery in Phoenix. I've only bought one or two things from directly from China and was extremely reticent to buy something I couldn't see or feel and not knowing if I'd ever actually get it in my lifetime LOL. Hopefully my post will help others and obviously I have no connection to the seller!
I agree
I purchased one of these cases for my Sony Z4 tablet quite a while ago; and it has been Fantastic! Super thin and fits Perfectly! I just bought one for my S2.
Thanks for finding the case. I was just trying to find out if the case was available for the Samsung - Really, I was!
Seems like the screen is the most vulnerable part. How does this kind of cover help?

After holding the tablet for a longer period of time i found the edges too hard. Based on your experiences would this cover solve this for me? Also if it would make the back of it a little less slippery that would be a bonus
yes -solves also these issues. thanxx for the tip, i ordered a black one these days. very pleased. feels like the light tablet in hands and covers perfectly my external charging pad, which allows wireless charging. very, very cool. for "expeditions" outside the house, i put the whole thing inside a book cover for protection, but at home the "minicase" is fine.

That's what tempered glass screen protectors are for, aren't they?
Also looking for the decent case with cover made by tpu or something. In germany there just a few available from which I already tried one but that one was not fitting well. Any tipps?
..this thread is about case "with out" cover ? - i bought my "x-line" at amazon.de, fittin' perfect..
