Looking for a case.

I'm looking to get a case for my SGS2, i picked it up locally on CL a few weeks ago and the film that was on the back cover is starting to get messed up, figure I should just get a case.
Anyhow, i'm looking for a case that is easy going in and out of the pocket (a must, its why i have left the film on it, nice and easy out of the pocket), dot need or care about kickstand, and looking to get it on amazon, been looking at all the cases i could find on amazon and came up with two that i think fit the bill, any one have experience with them?

was also looking at skins as well, just for the extra bit of protection, which of these would be best?

The Aegis case is great (not sure about the Fishbone one though), can't really go wrong.
I would probably go with this one;

As for skins, don't bother with full skin. If you want a screen protector, Invisishield is excellent, my brother has it on his International S2 and it's very clear and nice, he loves it.
Personally I don't use a screen protector on mine, no issues with scratches whatsoever, not even fine scratches.
Yeah, if you want a good screen/case combo, can't go wrong with Aegis or my preference the Seidio case and invisishield screen protector.

i know when i had the Seido Activ case for my Nexus S it was a bit "grippy" and pulled my pocket out when brining the phone out (slight annoyance), is that one the same?
Having the film is more for the back/sides protection, i saw some threads about how some cases can scratch it up.

For the skin, I would recommend a Ghost Armor one. I just got mine and I'm in love with it. You can barely notice the screen protector is on it, and it works great. Also the texture of the carbon fiber feels great and will keep your phone looking and feeling just like new.

What about this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Body-Glove-Sa..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1332726722&sr=1-2
It looks great, I brought it and Im a happy customer

i bought this one
http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Hybrid-Silicone-Durable-Kickstand/dp/B0070DGQW6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332729809&sr=8-1
im using the sedio active case with clip. not too bulky and easy goes in and out of pocket.
but if you wear skinny jeans like some of these kids nowadays then go with the thinnest case possible.

ended up getting the fishbone one, will update when it shows up (it was @ the $10 mark which i had a gift card on amazon for that amount)

i didnt care for the fishbone case. i have a black one and i dont like the way it feels and it seems to kinda pick up lint in my pocket. i have one pretty much new just sitting here lol. i like this case the best.

The Best Case Ever
The 3DO impact resistant case that Tmobile sells is the best case for any cell phone I have ever seen. It doesn't hang up on clothing like other gel cases and the 3DO technology is outstanding. You must see this case to believe how great it is. Meanwhile check out the videos here and on YouTube (search 3DO)

In my opinion this case is worth every penny and then some. It feels awesome in the hand, doesn't hang up in a pocket and offers superb impact protection.

Looking for a proper case

Hey xda
Im looking for a proper case for my s3. Right now i have the official flipcase on my phone, but its just too slippery. I dropped my phone 2 tiles because of my case despite being very careful. It slipped out of my pocket once and one time I only got hold of the flip part and the phone fell. Both from 50 cm so nothing to worry about. Before having the s3, i had an ipod touch and i always used it naked with a pouch. But I dont want any scratches on my s3 back (however there are already some on it) so im looking for other protection. I dont tend to drop my phone a lot. Dropped my ipod once in 1,5 years and my s3 2 times (because of the grip). I was looking around and saw a plastic carbon battery cover replacement, but I also do think im better safe than sorry and i should get a more protective case.
I want a case that:
- doesnt add too much bulk
- offers good/decent protection (also borders at the front of the screen)
- a kickstand would be very nice to have (as i watch a lot of youtube on my phone)
- doesnt cost me a leg (€30 max i guess)
- doesnt mess the responsiveness of
Ofcourse i already checked some cases and found the case mate tough and case mate pop. I also do like the look of spigen cases.
Hope you guys have some good suggestions.
Bye mutn

I've had the UAG case for a while and its the best case I've ever had. It does NOT have a kickstand, but its great with drop protection while still keeping the phone nice and slim. I got mine for $30 on amazon, but they are probably cheaper by now.

I have been looking around and I really Like the UAG.
Could someone post a trustworthy link to the slate blue and the Black one on Amazon.co.uk as I live in Europese.

Good tough cases

Hi i have a Samsung Galaxy Ace3 LTE, is there a case like Spigen make for iphones they only seem to make top end phone cases. I worry i will drop it break the screen bit clumsy, and i don't like the wallet type case. I looked at Invishield i think its called for the glass at least, i could use a gel cover for back, but is the Invishield good for drops or just scratches?. A full case Armour is ideal but making one up if i knew how any ideas thanks

The problem is that all big case manufacturers only focus on popular Samsung models, like Galaxy S# series or Note# series. I never heard of Ace model before. So, your best bet is to search eBay for rugged case for your phone model. Yes, the quality is not going to be as top notch as Spigen or Seidio or UAG, but it should still work great and will protect your phone.
Invishield, ia screen/body cover? Those are for scratch protection only, and they distort your screen cover. You drop your phone, screen will break

Hi thanks i thought as much .. Might have to buy an Iphone then :laugh:

Go on eBay, search for a tpu case. More protection than you should need. Better than those hard cases people like so much.

The way to go is a wallet case. Not only does it keep your phone safe from screen cracking, it also looks good. This site has some nice ones http://OS_SmartMobileGear

I recently goty my new galaxy a5 2017 and would like to know if any of you have had any good experiences with your case.
I have found a couple on Amazon already but am not sure what to choose...

I'm currently using Rinkge Fusion on my A5 2017, already dropped this phone display facing down, but it was in forrest, where the ground was soft so nothing happen.

I was thinking more about a simple protective case.. not too into the cover cases

I truly recommend Urban Armor Gear
https://urbanarmorgear.com/products/samsung-galaxy-a5-2017-case
I used one for my S5 and have dropped it numerous times onto concrete over 2.5 years and nothing ever happened to it.
So I got one for my A5 as well. It has already survived a few drops .

A cheap one
I recently bought a Spigen Liquid Air. My phone didn't fall but the case is very cheap and seems to be resistant.

I've trusted Spigen as always. Got the Liquid Air in black option. I really like matte finish on the sides and it's so far the best TPU case I've ever had on smartphone. And it's relatively cheap so...

Recommend verus high pro shield

Neon flip cover is very bad. Dont use this case.

Spigen Liquid Air in black option - solid standard with nice matte finish on the sides. I really can't complain. It is very solid.

I have not used SPIGEN dual-layer case for my A5 (yet); however, I have used SPIGEN dual's, like the one your link points to, for two years on my Nexus 5. It was a fantastic case and saved that phone's life more than once.

There's a chain of stores here in Toronto, Canada that sell a film-based protection. FONELAB. They have a tablet with every known smartphone's dimensions. You present your phone, they look it up in their database then laser cut a special military grade film to you device's exact dimensions and cutouts.. You can choose -- front only, back only or a full wrap. They then chemical clean your surfaces and apply the film using a wet process.
Very neat solution, especially for Edge phones.
This isn't so much for drop protection, though it is better than naked. The film cannot be cut or scratched. If you ever choose to remove it, it peels of WITHOUT an adhesive residue.

depends on what you need / want to use it for
For anyone that wants minimum protection, yet real protection then I also can recommend the Spigen Liquid Air Armor
The reason I say real protection, is that this one unlike many other cases does actually protect your phone also on the front side. It has good raised edges that protect your screen from falls.
I would still put this one in the category of the "regular" cases as it does not add much bulk to it. It is however more bulkier than those other ones that can be found in standard the phone shops. The reason is that most of the standard or cheap cases try to be as thin as possible to make it look good or make using it easier because of the now more curved edges phones have or the swipe menu movements. Resulting in low (al most screen height) and weak edges that cannot protect your screen.
The only thing i like less about this case is the sharp look it has on the design because of the edges, giving it a more square and strong look though.
I have seen another case, which was bought in a phone shop (Vodafone it was I believe), but I can't find this one in (Vodafone) shops locally. It was only in clear color i believe. but it was more rounded, felt slightly better in use but still good enough protection to not call it useless.

Do you believe that a leather wallet case can efficiently protect my A5 2017 from drops?

If OtterBox made a defender Case I would have gone for that but sadly no luck there so after an exhaustive search with not many promising results I ended up going with the UAG case and a glass screen cover designed to fit the curved screen. Altogether i didn't end up having to spend more than $50 and I am quite happy with the results and have dropped it on asphalt and concrete without any damage. I highly recommend the Urban Armor Gear case as the other options out there are purely superficial in regards to protection.

I had that first one... it was alright
honestly I'd get the cheapest clear case from ebay... after rocking a caseless galaxy s7 active I've come to enjoy minimalist designs even if the phone takes a beating from a drop. invest in a solid tampered glass screen protector though

I always buy the "cheapest one" I get (last is made of "leather"), is a flip case and cost around 6€ inclusive shipping - now I own it more than a year and it still look "good" and after all: it still works!

I bought the spigen liquid air is ****ing perfect

EDIT:and after 4 massive drops the phone was protected just fine.

Skin/Case Review Thread - Post'em up here!

So I just ordered three cases from Amazon, a Spigen, ProCase, and an off-brand one that I've never heard of before. Once they arrive I'll take a bunch of pics and post up my feedback on these to help educate anyone interested in a case or skin! Was thinking about going with one of those Dragon Skins too, look awesome, but I'll probably wait for my cases to come first!
Let's see some of those bad ass Note 8's, and the respective outer-layer for which you chose..!!

I just got this case about a week ago. I was looking for something like an otterbox but didn't want to pay so much for one. This is as good, if not better, than the otterbox. The Encased Rebel I found on Amazon for about $15 after searching and searching for the right case. It's a three piece case. The sides of the case come up higher than most cases to protect the edge glass and it doesn't affect the functionality of the edge apps at all, even with the glass screen protector I have on it. I picked up a 4-pack of cheap "case-friendly" glass screen protectors on ebay and they work fine, even when using the stylus. I really want to try the Whitestone Dome screen protector, but after seeing videos on Youtube about it and case compatibility, I don't think this case would work with it. I like that the hole for the stylus is smaller, offering better drop protecction for that corner while still allowing easy removal of the stylus. The ONLY negative I have found with the case is that the buttons were hard to press at first but after a week of use they are breaking in and getting easier. I will stick with this case. Amazon also sold an option to get a holster with it for a couple bucks more but i didn't get it.

Toast makes a great real wood cover for Note 8.
