Is there a case yet that allows it to remain on the phone and still access the back battery door? Kind of looking for a Neo Hybrid EX case but for the sprint version. Anyone found anything similar?
I am also interested, ive always liked the iPhone bumpers & after looking at the Neo Hybrid case you posted, I want one!
Ive semi-tried cutting out the back part of this TPU case ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...ccessories&hash=item45ffbee062#ht_1924wt_1222 ) but didnt have anything sharp enough, thus was completely unsuccessful.
a dremel might be the best too for cutting out the back piece of plastic. You can smooth it out with a sanding bit when you finish the cutting. I made a product request for the Neo hybrid but they don't have plans on making one yet. I think it would be a simple way to make a quick buck for a company like that. o well.
I'd bet that if they have a hundred request for this item it would cover r&d, manufacturing costs and create revenue...if they only knew how popular this device is.
I thought i'd ask the AT&T folks, the international forum is too large and impersonal.
Im looking at this one for myself: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nillkin-Mat...841&pid=100011&prg=1005&rk=1&sd=140855149689&
I got that one in white. Waiting on the Marble White version to be available for AT&T.
The ONE thing nice about not having the phone in hands yet is it has given me time to get some goodies on order with cheap shipping. I have four cases headed my way (yes idle hands). As you will see from my selections, I like cases that are TPU or similar for absorbing shock. I don't like very bulky cases.
Yello TPU from Amazon

Gray X-line that seems to be everywhere on the web
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gray-X-Line...168197?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a24a129c5
Then the Flexshield cases. I think one of these will be my everyday case. I couldn't decide between transparent or black so I ordered both. They come from mobilefun.com in the UK and since I had so much time to wait (November 9th or so) I used the cheap $5 shipping and it should be here by then.

I got that nilikin case (I have a tmob with att sim). Its even more slippery than the phone itself which I don't like. It looks good though.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I was going to get the Nilikin case but decide to get this in black instead.

Still haven't decided if I am getting the Note yet, I have SGS3 and its great, with a nice strong seido case (extended battery active) it isn't too big. I feel like having a big case on the note will be too much. I'm in the army and the SGS3 barely fits in my ankle pockets now, Only option for the Note would be in my cargo pockets and it might break in there...
i am looking into the Nilikin case atleast until there is an otterbox commuter for the note 2
Case I ordered
This is the case I ordered from Korea.
1) some sort of a metallic material bumper case (black)
2) some sort of a metallic material battery cover (black)
and its going to be going on the Titanium Grey colored version of the note 2
by the way the second picture is the metal battery cover by itself.
I got this clear hard shell case at Amazon for $10.99.
Trident. Just have to baby it for a month or so. :good:
Ive got the Nilikin cases in white and black. Not a fan of the texture. But it was the only thing available that was decent at the time. Im waiting for the Elago slim cases to come out which i have on my original Note.
I just ordered this case of ebay, not bad for the price and it looks half decent. I will post pictures once i get it and the phone(still waiting for rogers to ship)
edit: search the popular bidding sight for " Samsung Galaxy Note2 II N7100 2in1 Black TPU Metallic Red Hybrid Case+Screen"
hey guys i got a quick question im currently married to my skyrocket...but im leaving her for this beautful note 2. something i came across that was rather annoying with the skyrocket when it came to cases is that the phone style changed based on the carriers. e.g the speaker orientation on the sgs2 hercules vs the sgs2 skyrocket where different. even tho they are the same phone specs wise. is this the same here since all the cases linked here are for the n7100 and our phones are the n7137m and n7147m or something to that effect thanks for your replies in advance
The note 2 as far as dimensions go are the same across all models. So all cases will work

thanks bro
I just ordered this case :http://tinyurl.com/cbtohpn
and this one: http://tinyurl.com/c7cae3j
both from ebay
i also bought the ZAGG body shield
Boxwave case with the integrated stand. I have the black one on my current Note and it works great. The stand isn't super strong (can't expect it to be on a slim plastic case) but it's built well and holds the phone well also.
The case isn't available yet so keeping an eye out.
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

i bought this also
very satisfied with build quality and grip,also does not add much volume on the device
EDIT:and after 4 massive drops the phone was protected just fine.
Deciding between Spigen Liquid Air or Rhinoshield Solid suit case for my new Note10+
Currently rocking the clear case that came with the phone, but that's just a temporary measure as im not a fan of clear cases as they turn yellow so easily.
I want something minimal that will not add too much bulk as the phone is already HUGE lol but want something that will offer some drop protection, and those two cases seem to do it. However I want know from other Note10+ users out there which one is good, or if there are any other recommendations that match my criteria
I did a you tube review which msy help you
Has anyone tried any of the cases for the OnePlus 8?
LewLater Case on pre-order. It's not the cheapest case especially factoring in the shipping cost but I prefer to have a barely-there, slim case.
Wow that's quite expensive
I bought one from LaterCase which is yet to arrive
I have the Cyan sandstone protective case and the nylon bumper with the pop-up box.
I love the nylon bumper
I've ordered a couple of cases from Amazon, one is a matte transparent case w/black TPU side bumper:
OnePlus 8 Case [Frosting Transparent Back] Ultra-Thin Soft TPU [Shock Absorption] Slim Fit Lightweight Shockproof Armor Cover Hybrid Protective Case Compatible with Oneplus 8 (Black, 1+8) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087CW225G/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_6WjUEbE6JCY8G
This is the one I'm actually after, a matte transparent Frameless Case (arrival estimate 2+ months from now, so, I ordered the one above in the meantime) :
OnePlus 8 Frameless Case, EabHulie Slim Translucent Hard Back Matte Skin Soft TPU Bumper Corners Shockproof Case Cover for OnePlus 8 Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0881W9VBG/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_1ZjUEbZX8D19V
I used the same Frameless Case on the OnePlus 7T Pro (fits the OnePlus 7 Pro as well) & it performed well for what I was wanting, minimal coverage & preventing accidental edge touches. It actually did that a bit too well on the sides, but, I adjusted to it, better than the alternative of a bulky case or, going sans case.
As the edge contours seem to be less dramatic vs the OP7 Pro / OP7T Pro, hoping they nailed it on the side coverage/touch sensitivity sweet spot.
I've done a review of 3 flip cases - see the other post in this forum
I highly recommend the Tudia Merge. It's a dual layer case - TPU and Plastic. Fits really well, buttons still feel good. I've used the Merge cases for my past several OnePlus phones, and all have been great.
https://www.amazon.com/TUDIA-Designed-OnePlus-Compatible-Verizon/dp/B086KX6RS3/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=oneplus+8+tudia&qid=1589278870&sr=8-5
Anyone know where to buy the original sandstone case from other than 1+ direct with silly postage fees
Just picked up this case from T-Mobile US, from their budget conscious brand GoTo:
https://www.t-mobile.com/accessory/goto-define-case-for-oneplus-8-5g
My 2¢/ Pros & Cons.
Pro:
1) Availability, shouldn't be too difficult to find a T-Mobile store that has it in stock, especially with the phone still being relatively new.
2) Fit is excellent, cutouts are precise. The camera cutout extends well below the flash, not a deal breaker, but, I think they should have opted for a more precise cutout for the lenses & a separate hole for the flash. Perhaps this was a cost-cutting measure.....
3) Feel in hand is acceptable, neither the slimmest or bulkiest case I've used.
For feel in hand perspective, if you've used a RhinoShield Crash Guard bumper, this case is slimmer in the grip,a lot more comfortable vs the Crash Guard bumper.
Cons:
1) Price isn't insane, but, I do feel it's a bit much @ $19.99. Sure, it's about 1/2 the price of other cases sold by T-Mobile, but, as everyone here is painfully aware, carrier accessories are grossly overpriced,
So yeah, this case is overpriced vs Amazon/AliExpress/eBay & in a lot of instances, buying direct from the mfg w/a discount code.
2) The volume/notification slider cut-out, while precise,is a bit cramped for one-handed use. Not a biggie for me, I rarely use it, but, for those where this is a priority, perhaps this case is not for you.
Fortunately, the box for the case (at least mine) was not sealed, so, if buying from a brick & mortar store, you should be able to try it out before buying
Misc:
The design of the backside is a bit weird in the looks department, reminiscent of poor 'ol HTC's earlier efforts in the "big chin" look on the front of their phones.
To me, it's not a big deal, but, if I were choosing in-store w/a comparably priced/designed case w/o the "chin'", I'd opt for the other case.
Ditto on the branding of the "GoTo" logo. It's actually not that noticeable, but, again, same scenario just mentioned, I'd opt for the competition.
FWIW, I loathe cases w/branding, as most go overboard w/it, I prefer minimal/unbranded cases, typically one color/material when possible, less is more for my usage.
Would I recommend it?
Sure, it strikes a good balance of form/function (less the slider cutout). If you need a case ASAP for the unlocked or T-Mobile version, it's a worthwhile case.
However, if you don't mind waiting for mail order from wherever you shop online, you could probably find a case that fits your needs at a better price.
I ordered the transparent TPU & carbon fiber cases from OnePlus when I ordered my OP8. Both are way too slippery. Ordered a Rinke Fusion X on Amazon, and I like it much better.
Pros:
- Very grippy!
- Good side & corner protection
- Transparent back shows off phone color nicely
Cons:
- Raised plastic "button guards" make finding buttons by feel a touch difficult
- Minimal front protection
Overall rating: 4.5 Stars

verizon cases
Any generic cases that'll fit the verizon version, or are verizon users stuck with the ones on their website? I'd read somewhere that "some" generic cases "might" fit the verizon phone, but can't find any more info. Thanks.
Unfortunately I can't answer the question about the case, but I do have a related question.. What is different about the Verizon version of the OnePlus 8, vs like the T-mobile, or unlocked version.
I'm looking for cases myself, but I have the one from T-mobile. And when searching amazon, I've seen some listed as "Verizon Only" ..

Don't know how you did that...all the ones I find say "Not for Verizon". The difference, as I understand it, is verizon's 5g hardware is bigger / located in a different location, which caused some buttons to be moved. So for most case designs, verizon phones won't work, but all other 8's (not pro) will...the exception would be a few that have cutouts that can accomodate either configuration...but info on which those are is sparse.

I went through a lot of pages of case on amazon; as 99% of them are terrible cheap looking crap, and a lot were for the wrong device as Amazons search sucks.. but there were a few. One I actually liked but it says Verizon only..

I'm loving my Supcase

I bought this case super finish and affordable. Its the nylon version from Nilkin.
Super slim and grippy case suggestions?
I am looking for a slim/minimalistic case.
Is Official Sandstone case grippier than the Nylon case?
I have the nylon and I like it but with the added size of the case it's harder to grip. I'm thinking about getting the Sandstone case but not sure if it would help any with phone slipping out of my hand.
Ideally I would like a slimmer case with better grip and lip to protect screen and ideally camera.
Thanks all!
