Case is definitely glossy!
Got the same deal from same seller but in white not bad at all for the price
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
got one which looks the same in blue,http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006BX8BCO but is very pale/light in colour unlike the picture, would have been better in a darker shade.
I find it makes the volume buttons ultra sensitive though, like they are part-way depressed so a slight touch sends the ringer volume up/down very fast. It'll do for now till another one (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0067LKSJ4) similar to the one I had on my SGS2 arrives.

Got the same case. It's ok for now but there is that problem with buttons (volume too sensitive, power button difficult to use) and I find it too bulky. I think I'll try something like skinomi carbon fibre to cut down on bulk and be able to use brodit car holder.
the second of the cases arrived, much better, no issues with the volume/power buttons, even has a moulding for a landyard to be fitted. Even came with a screen protector, but is cut away around the home button and the speaker/sensors at the top, rather than a neat custom cut. First case (pale blue) didn't come with a protector, but that's ok, I ordered a couple of Vikuiti CV8 ones as I've used their products before.
Not sure what it is about the GN cases but both of the ones I've received are very pale colours. First "Blue" was more like sky or baby blue, and this one (S-type case) is a very light purple, unlike the photo's on the sales pages. Still, this is workable and looks ok, better grip mouldings on the long edges too so feels nice and positive when held. Might see if I can get one in a dark blue at a later date.

I'm in Malaysia, and I just got my G Note 10 days ago. Absolutely love it to death!
Unfortunately, we don't have any cases here yet. Luckily for me, the standard flip-book cover came FREE from Samsung for the first 1000 buyers.
This, unfortunately, is one area where android devices cannot compete with Apple and that is the huge support from 3rd party accessories developers. It's sad cause the devices offer the best in customability but lack support for accessories...oh well, I guess we can't have it all then, can we?

I have the same glossy case, from Fonem8 on Ebay, it fits and looks good
wow...the glossy one looks like a dust collector
That case has alot of scratches after using it for 3 days, it there a method to polish it to remove the scraches
Well as you can see from my Signature I am kind of a accessory freak. I ordered several new cases, and screen protector, and a few of them are coming today. I will review as they come in. I ordered a Black, a Blue, and a Red Poetic Leather Stand Cases. I loved the one I got for my Galaxy Tab that I knew I wanted one (or more) of the same case for my Fire, and since they come on several color options I couldnt resist.
I also ordered a Black MiniSuit TPU , and a White BlueCell TPU . All 3 of the Poetic cases are coming today so I will most likely review them later today.
Ok, a little later than I had mentioned, but never the less heres a short review of the Poetic Leather Cases, and the White TPU, the 2nd black TPU (Minisuit) comes later today.
Poetic Leather Cases: All 3 of the stand cases are the same except for the color (Black, Red, and Blue), so Ill just review one and post pics for all of them. The fit is perfect, holds the Fire in place very well, and the hook that keeps it closed is very secure. There are 3 standing positions that you can use, and they are all in landscape. This isnt one of the 360 degree kind that will work in portrait also. All of the ports are easily accessed, and just like on my Gtab 7.7 only one of the speakers is just slightly covered (see picture #7). The stitching is well done, and the whole case seems very durable so far. I originally bought one of these type for my Gtab 7.7, and liked it so much I bought 3 for my Fire .
Recommended: YES
TPU Cases: I ordered 2 TPU cases recently, and already had one from a previous Fire and so far one fits great, one not so good, and one gets delivered later today. Theres really not a whole lot to say about these because they are pretty simple. But I will post links, and explain which one fits, and which ones dont.
The first one I bought is here. So far its the one I use the most because of how well it fits. Snug like it should be, all ports easily accessed, no blockage.
Recommended: YES
The second one I got is here. This one doesnt fit right. It doesnt seal to the edges like it should, has that slight bulge of the sides, and the usb port cut out is too small. The stock charger usb doesnt go in right when the case is on. Not much else to say on this one.
Recommended: NO
The last one that will arrive later today is here. I have high hopes that this one will fit great because its a Minisuit brand, and Ive got a leather Minisuit Stand case for my Gtab 7.7 that is great. I will update this review soon with the Minisuit Black TPU.
Recommended: TBD
Well since I ran out of room for picture slots in the first post Ill post the Minisuit Black TPU review here.
This one fits a lot better than the white one, but not quite as good as this black one that I had bought for a previous Fire I had. It may just be that its new though and needs to wear in. It just slightly sticks out a little too far on the bottom rather than snugging up to the edge. Now this could be considered good or bad depending on how you look at it. It goes on and comes of easier if your a glass half full type, but if your a glass half empty person than youll notice it. So I guess that explains which one I am. I do like the X pattern on this new one more though. Its a slimmer X, with the rest having a kind of carbon fiber look. Ive got a clear one just like it on my Gtab 7.7 with another set of 6 on the way. $16 for 6 different color TPU cases cannot be beat. I will however have an extra pink one sitting around.
Anyway I highly recommend this case if someones looking for a nice and cheap TPU for their Fire. Pics attached.

Hi Gam3r 4 Life,
Thanks for your review. I've just bought a case, but it's a bit bigger than i expected. Even if the size of it, it's hard to switch the KF ON, when it's in the case. Pictures are here.
What i wanted to buy is this one, but unfortunately the seller isn't posting to Hungary.

Your first link didnt work when I tried it. But I agree, the power button is slightly recessed.

Picasa 3.9 has some "new" feature...there is no create webalbum button any more. There is a "nice" big gree button for Share....
Anyway here is the direct link for my webalbum about this case:
https://picasaweb.google.com/113442946972614822221/Kfc#slideshow/5734665025626575714
I own this:
amazon.com/Gumdrop-Cases-Series-Protective-Kindle/dp/B006K120UG/ref=sr_1_21?s=fiona-hardware&ie=UTF8&qid=1336054235&sr=1-21
At the time, it only came in Black. Seems to be a couple new colors now. It also came with a screen cover. But I found the cover got much dirtier then the regular kindle screen.
I used a knife to pry off the "plastic" screen, which was just attached with some heavy-duty double sided tape. The case comes in 3 pieces. You can choose to just leave the entire piece off that the plastic screen is attached to. but there is a noticeable gap and its visually unappealing.
Very happy with this. It adds some weight, some size. Oddly enough, the biggest PITA was having to pen the flap for the USB/Power to verify the orange light when loading into FFF. With Hash's new FFF, you get the prompt on the screen .
I had a poetic type case for my transformer prime (Blurex Brand). I picked one of them up for the Fire and it should be here today as well. Only $8.99.

looks nice and grippy
Had this for my S3 and loved it. It did begin to crack by the volume rocker but it still performed 100%. I'm looking forward to getting this for my LGOG.
Sent From My GTab2
So after about a week of having the case on the phone, I have to say its a great case.
When I initially got it, it was TOO tight. So tight, that it would basically make my phone keep rebooting (pressing against the power button). I had planned on cutting out the section where the power button is altogether, but in the end i created too small slits on each side of the button indention. Once I did that, the case was good to go. It's a solid case. The grips on the side make it much easier to hold the phone. My biggest liking of this case is the hard plastic backing. I'm not a fan of complete rubber cases or complete plastic cases, both tend to have faults some how. But this case is the best of both worlds. The plastic and rubber sections are both in areas where its most beneficial. The case didn't make the phone too bulky either, thankfully. I think this case is only available in 2 colors, Grey & White and White & Grey (the color i have). If you're looking for a solid case that doesn't create too much bulk, then get this one. :good:

Great review. I bought this on Amazon for $22 shipped with some extra gift card money I got from work. I also bought the Kensington Virtouso Stylus / Pen for making a few notes on the QuickMemo app.

I'd like to know how that stylus pen works out for you. I'd be interesting in getting one.
^^I can't comment on this specific one, but in general these kind of stylus (with soft rubber tip) are pretty bad; I've tried a bunch, ranging from $1 to $30. They are all not very responsive (have to press hard on the screen to register sometimes) and you can feel the drag when swiping across the screen.
There have been a few threads linking to the Shenit TPU Bumper Case that have kinda died out because, well, it's no longer available on Amazon despite having been available long ago with a very future ship date. I ordered mine when the listing first went up on Amazon and it just arrived today! Here are my observations and judgments:
The Details
The case is made from two materials: TPU and a hard plastic. You can see the two materials in the photos on Amazon. It's done in a way that is still incredibly low-profile. The TPU covers all buttons, corners/edges, and ports (not the camera lens nor camera light, though). The hard plastic covers the back, the back corners, and some of the sides. The hard plastic is a *perfect fit* over the camera lens ring - from the back of the phone it is 100% impossible to tell the color of my phone.
Something that can be very clearly seen in the photos, and is the same with the official bumper, are the angles at which the sides have. This causes the feeling that the back edges of the phone "stick out". This seems to be a love-it or hate-it thing for most people. I'm torn about whether I like it or not - it definitely seems different than what I'm used to. That said, this was by no means a surprise for me and I expected it to be just like this. So in my Pro/Con list, this is what I'm talking about with the "back corners sticking out".
Oh, and it came with a piece of red velcro for some reason!
The Good
Overall, it's a very nice and snug fit on the phone yet it's not terribly difficult (also not terribly easy, in a good way) to get it off of the phone. With this case on the phone, I'm certainly not concerned with the phone slipping out whether pulling the phone out of a purse with something tugging on the case nor with skinny jean pockets or anything else. The feel of it is a mix of a TPU feel and a "soft" feel for hard plastic (think the feel of the back of the black version of the Nexus 5 to mean what I mean "soft" for hard plastic, not Quicksand case "soft"). Nobody will have problems with this slipping in and out of their pockets nor is it incredibly slippery either.
For protection, this provides the protection you would hope from a TPU case and not much more. As you can see in the photos, every corner and edge is covered by TPU including the four corners on both the front and back as well as the edges along both the front and back of the phone. The back of the phone, however is only covered with the hard plastic. Take a look at the photos and you can tell where the TPU ends on the insides of the case and where the hard plastic begins on the outsides of the case. This case might protect your phone from a drop and it might not - just like with all TPU cases. If you buy this and you play first-person shooter games where you can change your armor out, this case could be thought of as light armor or perhaps medium armor but no where near heavy armor.
It is definitely an attractive (and Nexus branded!) case that doesn't look like what many of the other $14 cases out there look like. As you can see from the photos, the case is molded perfectly to fit with the camera ring cutout. Speaking of the camera ring, the case is just a tad thicker on the back side than your camera ring so if you lay it down on the back, your camera ring is no longer a protrusion. This may have some implications for those of you with magnetic accessories for the camera ring but I can't really comment much on that. Ultimately, unless you look at the port cutouts or see my white speaker on the front, this case makes it impossible to tell the color of my phone - that's how perfect the molding is for the fit. The ONLY flaw I could find with the case's fit was for the microphone on the top of the phone. The microphone isn't perfectly centered in the hole but it's also not covered either.
The Bad
There are three primary problems I have with the case.
First of all, a quick browsing at the time I wrote this turned up quite unfruitful in actually identifying where you can even buy this case today! It is now listed as unavailable on all of the Amazon postings and even all of the eBay cases that look just like the OEM bumper case have seemed to vanish. I'm curious if you can even buy this case anymore as I couldn't find it anywhere now!
So here's the first knock on the case: The buttons have a mushy feel with terrible feedback on the power/volume buttons. We all know that cases tend to be Good, Meh, or Bad here and this case definitely qualifies as bad. Sorry!
And the last thing:The USB Port cutout, while appearing quite large, is unfortunately too small for a variety of USB cables. The first 3 USB cables I randomly grabbed didn't fit comfortable in the space provided although the fourth one did. So you'll have to find a cable that will fit in there if you ever need one and don't use Qi for all of your charging needs.
Pros:
Nexus Branded!
Plenty of color options and cheap (it was $14 shipped from Amazon)
Great snug fit with perfect molding to the phone
Feels like you hope it would feel from the photos
Very low profile - better than your typical TPU case (except for the back corners sticking out)
Plenty of room around the 3.5mm audio port.
Won't affect NFC, Qi, or radios
Cons:
Hard to buy (no longer on Amazon and the eBay lookalikes are no longer listed either)
Took a month to ship
Bad button tactile feedback
Many USB cables won't fit in the cutout for the USB port
I hope you enjoy!!

I just got mine today too. I got the blue one. Does it feel like pyramid shaped to you? Mine does. The back is thicker than the front. Buttons are not that bad. Better than some of the cheap tpus. I can still see some white bordering the camera in the back. Not too bad a case. But the shape is weird. Does the original case have that pyramid shape? If you hold it by the sides you cab definitely feel that the back is wider than the front (lip).

Yup, I commented on this in my more thorough review. It's different than I'm used to but exactly what I expected from the photos on Amazon (and Google's OEM listings/reviews as well). I still don't know if I like it or not. Like you said, it's weird.

If I compared this to the worst TPU case I've ever had (and I've had some bad ones) that was rated as a 1 from 1-10, then I'd give this case a 2. You're right, there is worse. But not much worse - it's pretty bad. Maybe your blue one has slightly different buttons than mine but mine is pretty bad.
For the white around my camera on the back, I can't see any white whatsoever. At least I don't think I can even as I'm trying to look for it although I guess it's possible that the white + shadow makes it blend in with my light gray case. I don't see it, though.
Even no longer available but there are some cases like this in eBay if anyone would like to give it a try: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GOOGLE-PREM...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item3cdc425b73. But don't expect too much as this is chinese stuff. And Play Store now available for $26~ after 25% off (still got shipping fee+ tax).

Uhh have you seen what most people have been saying about the official bumper? It's a low quality POS for the most part. Not worth full price, and even at $26 it isn't worth it with the peeling, staining, etc. Doesn't matter if it's from the play store. The unofficial ones might even hold up better, who knows, but the standard Google set with the official bumper case isn't exactly high. Besides, there's extra colors with the unofficial ones that some people might enjoy.
Anyway, if anyone still wants these ones I did find a link for super cheap. Of course it will probably take 3 weeks to a month to get to you, which is the case for most things shipping from overseas. But $12.99 shipped should make up for it. The Nexus logo is printed in a different color than the case on some of the color choices (just scroll down on the page to see).
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-LG-Google-Nexus-5-bumper-case-FREE-SHIPPING-front-screen-protectors/1612944308.html
God, it can't be any worse than the official bumper. I wish we had a better selection of actual bumper cases.
I'm using the Gray bumper clone for couple days. No staining (yet) , nice soft touch. Back panel is a bit bigger than front (as mentioned in 1st post).
I also have glass protector from Nillkin on, the case doesn't seem to push the glass.
Update: Now it has some blue from my jeans. sigh..
I may certainly be wrong but I'm beginning to think these unofficial cases are the same as the official ones, same manufacturing line and everything.

I reached out to Devilcase and asked if they were planning any Aluminum bumper cases for the XZ2.
In the first half of May 2018 they should be releasing one for the phone. Just incase anyone else likes those Aluminum bumper cases.
I Have also reached out to Luphie Cases but from them I didn't get any answer as of yet.
DBrand told me they won't be selling any XZ2 Skins.
I might add that I've been using the Style Touch cover for the XZ2 and will until the Devilcase one arrives in late May/June. I don't like the flappy window cover at all. The touch cover is too rigid when you've got the cover opened and I can't hold it comfortably in my hand whilst open. When its closed the cover is not straight on top of the screen and makes it hard for the screen to register touches on the left side of the screen.
Any advice for some shockproof case with display protection? Something like https://m.ebay.com/itm/For-Sony-Xpe...:m:mc31MQr_76OVK-2tnCk12aA&varId=413321369055 (but with display protection I have mentioned).

I recommend this one:

Nice fit, slim and well built.
I have this Nillkin transparent case and it's fine. I also ordered an IMAK case today. I had IMAK cases in the past the the grip is fantastic, it's like you touch a stone.
I have to say these two look kinda decent....

I might add that I've been using the Style Touch cover for the XZ2 and will until the Devilcase one arrives in late May/June. I don't like the flappy window cover at all. The touch cover is too rigid when you've got the cover opened and I can't hold it comfortably in my hand whilst open. When its closed the cover is not straight on top of the screen and makes it hard for the screen to register touches on the left side of the screen.

Likewise I reached out to Devilcase and asked about a bumper case for the XZ2 compact, the first response was as you mention the second half of may. I waited and the bumpercase for the regular XZ2-model did show up and is available on their page. No sign of the XZ2-compact model however. So I once again reached out and after some back and forth it turns out the XZ2-compact is not available on their domestic market so they will not make the bumpercase available through them directly, it will only be available through their retailers. I am currently awaiting a response for which of their retailers will carry the XZ2-compact model, and will update with their response.

After much searching (I have not yet heard back from devilcase) I believe I have actually found the first batch of bumpercases for the XZ2 Compact (In one of my mails from Devilcase they eluded to that the first batch of cases were branded differently than they normally would be). It seems they went here:
As you can see they are branded DECASE, but it is in fact the Devilcase bumpers, as Croy Mobile is listed as one of their retailers on the Devilcase homepage. So it would seem that a bumpercase for the XZ2 Compact is available, but only in Japan, as I can find no mention of international shipping on the homepage of Croy Mobile.

yeah, that's the Ringke Onyx. It's probably the single, best case available at the moment, if you want any protection for the screen and corners that is. The trend these days seem to be thin cases that just protect from scratches and not drops of any kind. Something I personally don't quite understand (as someone who tends to drop the phone at the gym every couple of months ).
Was quite disappointed in this guy, the Olixar ExoShield. As you can see in this picture I took before I sent it back, while it has great protection for the corners and screen, it's a box that completely ignores the shape of the back of the phone. That ticked me off so much I had to send Olixar a complaint about it asking them what the heck they were thinking.
