Spigen announced their popular ultra hybrid for the m8. i had one of these for my nexus 5 and it was a nice case.
Yeah , I like those.
Glad they didnt have plastic between flash and lense... that screws all flash pics, as I have since found out with their other case.
That's pretty. Just added it to my Amazon wishlist.

Yeah, I hated this one, it would ALWAYS set off the bug report capture & drive me nuts. I finally found a very similar case by Ringke, which I like better for many reasons, including having raised buttons, which make finding Vol+ or Vol- much easier. Ringke Rearth Ultra Hybrid.
I just got the UH inn silver today.. Overall very nice case. Seems a bit better made then the supcase hybrid. The power button is covered which prevents the IR blaster from working but nothing a little razor blade couldn't fix

Pre-ordered mine several weeks ago. Received it yesterday even though Amazon says it inst supposed to ship until the end of May. I had the Ultra Fit capsule as well, but returned it due to the yellow coloring. The Ultra Hybrid doesn't have the yellow coloring, fits well. Had to immediately return mine though as there was a small crack in the back cover. Overall, pretty decent case if you can go without the IR blaster...didnt try to see if it worked with the case, but assumed it did not.

who...so you guys already received it???
thought it wasn't supposed to be released until the end of the month.

That's the Ultra Fit Capsule in your video, not the Ultra Hybrid that is being discussed in this thread...different case. I had the Ultra Fit Capsule as well and did have the yellow coloring. The Ultra Hybrid I had didnt have the yellow coloring.

It shows on Amazon and Spigen as not available until the end of the May, but received mine early. I cant post pics, as I said I immediately sent mine back due to crack in the back. Once I get my replacement, I can post pics, but perhaps someone else will post pics before then.
Can we get pictures of this case with the phone on it? And can anyone try and see if the blaster works even though it's covered. (Worth a try)

I really hope Samsung comes out with this awesome case they have for the S3. My partner has one, and it covers the ports with a little plug and it's a very snug TPU case.
I'm waiting for the TMOUS version of the Note II to become available. If I could, I'd choose an Otterbox case for it. I've gotten great protection for my HTC HD2 using their Defender case. However, Otterbox has said they have no plans to introduce a case for the Note II "in the near future."
I promised myself that my next phone from my current s2 will be bare (caseless) besides a skin, such as Spigen steinheil glas and back protector.
On a side question, is the camera on the note 2 recessed? Ie. Not sticking out from the back cover?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Nothing at all. It's big enough as it is, but I do want an aluminium or carbon fiber rear replacement. Anyone know where I can get one?
Well I went with the book case from Samsung.
I thought it looked pretty good without adding hardly anything to the dimensions plus this way I have the screen protected and when I go to sell it for the next super smartphone, I put the original back price on and any scratches or hits on the back are instantly gone.
To be fair I don't normally like cases but this does not get in the way to much and when folded back on itself it makes a very good horizontal stand for watching videos.
Hope whatever you chooses works for you but imho whilst Otter boxes are without a doubt solid protection they just ruin the pleasure in having a slim phone.

Edit: Added two new pictures of the back. I didnt realize there was a plastic on the inside and outside. So here is a much better look
Does the cutout for the flash reflect with the flash and distort pictures(or lighting within pictures) when the flash is used?

I did not put the screen protector on yet. I am about to do that right now. The case has a very nice premium feel to it with the phone. Fits tight and is not loose at all. I dont have to push down really hard for the buttons to click. You dont have to apply that much pressure or the buttons and all the cutouts are perfect. When taking photos with flash it does not affect the photos at all.

buttons are not stiff at all. You dont have to press down hard for the button to click, which has always been my problem with other tpu cases that cover buttons. On this case it feels as if your pressing on the button with nothing covering it at all. Its very nice
Is the back side frosted or clear?
I would like to put a skin on the back too but not with this brand if the case is hazzy.
i'm sold! i'm thinking of picking up the same case.

Got my UAG HTC One M8 NAVIGATOR (white) case today. This is actually my 3rd UAG case, I had the AERO (blue) one on my HTC One M7, and I have a the SCOUT (black) one on my work Iphone 5.
Anyways, much like the previous 2 I really like the case, the quality feels good and it feels nice to hold. On the M8 case they put these 4 little grooved bumpers (2 on each side) that give you a slightly better grip which is a nice touch.
This is the first time I've gotten a white case, I'm interested to see how dirty it gets. I was concerned it might look a bit weird with the gun metal color, but since the only part you really see is the speaker grills it looks fine.
My only complaint so far if you notice on the picture the cutout for the main rear camera isn't centered. There is a small silver ring around the camera lens and the top right part of it seems to be covered. Maybe UAG did a bad job with the mold? Or maybe my case was poorly cut. I've sent an email to UAG but what I've seen in the past they are pretty bad at responding to emails. I will update this post if I hear anything.
Anyways for people who like UAG cases, this is another good case for a great phone.
P.S. (knock on wood) I've never tested the drop a ability of these cases, well at least on purpose, I dropped my Iphone from about 3 feet and it was fine, but have no desire to purposely test it.
Would you mind posting a pic of the front of your phone in the case? I'm curious to see how close the black of the case looks with the gunmetal.

I had a similar issue with my UAG but within a week it now looks perfectly centered. I can see the chrome ring around the whole lens. The tapered flash cutout is a big improvement over the M7 UAG case.

I don't see any noticeable difference with the case on and off taking a photo. I did get an email from UAG last night though, they said they are looking into it. I have noticed over the past day though the fit around the lens is getting slightly better though. Maybe it just needed to be worked in.

IR blaster works great for me. Another plus for me with this case is having the indentations and feet on the back of it. I use those to hold the phone. My otter box has a smooth back and can make the phone feel slippery at times.

I'd love to see pics of that clear maverick case. Got the gold m8 and have been contemplating ordering it.
Just picked up the unicorn beetle pro (the otter box level one ) and just wanted to say it is a great case, I'm not much for writing reviews but can answer any questions if anyone else was looking at this case. It seems super durable, it's thick but reasonably so, the ir /power button has a clear cover so it still functions. The rubber sides are much harder than an otter box and don't pull on and off when you pull it from your pocket like some other cases.

I'll add to the positive reviews of this case. I ordered it early through Amazon so I too got it at a great price figuring I had very little to lose. I'm extremely pleased with most aspects of this case. I'm coming from an M7 with a UAG case so I have something good to compare this case to. Best things about this case are:
-built-in screen protector with tacky back. this keeps the plastic protector in constant contact with the screen so not air gaps like LifeProofs iPhone case
- completely covered plastic power button. much better IMO than UAG's slotted rubber button because it provide tactile feedback
-port covers. keeps the dust out
-very little metal is exposed. the camera lenses on back have the typical case protection but I really like the plastic around the speaker grills. looks good and looks like it'll provide adequate protection from most anything short of extreme sports
The only thing that I don't like is that the back of the case has a slight curve to it versus the flat back of the UAG case. But I figure this is why the Unicorn Beetle doesn't feel so bulky.
I was planning on only using this case for when I'm doing yard work, hiking, or playing in the park but I'm happy enough with it at this point that I'll likely leave it on most of the time. It's a great value, even at the current price. I will watch the price closely on this and probably pick up another one if the price drops.
Here we go!
I popped out the plastic screen cover and removed the residue. Case still fits great with my Nillkin Glass screen protector!
The other case is the regular Unicorn Beetle so you can see the size difference.
Sorry delete
Yeah built in screen protector is not that bad but doesn't work well with a wet apply style below it as I had one on mine , they stick together. I'm going to order a glass one and pop out the plastic eventually but the built in is good enough for now

Gestures
Got the case today, and seems like a pretty stout case. I removed my clear plastic as I have a SpartanShield screen protector on it. Customized it a little to my needs... Added mesh on the speakers. It didn't mess with the FFC much, but has a slight difference. I need this mesh as I'm a machinist, and have always had to dig out metal shavings. My main concern is since I've installed this case I havent had much luck with getting gestures to work. It seems like sometimes it doesn't work at all, and other times it seems fine. Didn't know of anyone has had this experience yet.
I haven't had any issues with the touchscreen, but I have a glass screen protector. Loving this case so far. Very well made. Way better than my Otterbox Commuter.

Did you remove the plastic screen protector before applying the case? If not, did the glass screen protector cause a gap between the plastic around the speakers?

I was looking for a good transparent case for my M8. First I ordered the Atmosphere case from Poetic and it was very HARD material and I was not comfortable using it. While looking for alternatives, i founds this.

I am very satisfied with this. It is only 7$. Also comes in variety of colors. I went for the conservative Black. All cutouts are quite precise. Only bad thing I found was that it did not have a cutout for the IR blaster. Since I did not use this functionality, it was fine with me. The back is crystal clear and shows off the beauty of the phone. It is a minimal case and wont protect the phone much from drops I believe (am yet to drop it, nope I never do!!). Installing this without any dust in the case is a bit painstaking, but once installed, it does not let further dust in. I have been using this for 5 days now and am impressed. If anyone wants any more details/pics please let me know.

For this price, will try out, want to see how it compares to the Kaycase.

It is smooth but has a slight sticky grip to it. I am not sure how I can convey it through words. Its definitely better that Atmosphere case from poetic and also better than using it naked (I nearly dropped it twice using it naked and with atmosphere case).
Looks like thunder and lightning. Bring a umbrella.

Did you get it yet? Liked it?
Does it scratch easily? I had the Kaycase and liked it at first but then it started to scratch easily.

From nearly 2 weeks of usage, I can say that it DOES get a few scratches. Not bead enough for me to abandon ship yet. But from the way it is going, I ,may have to get rid of this after a month or 2.

Havent received it yet .
I've had this case for a couple months. A lot of versions of this case all over eBay/Amazon. I LOVE it. Provides just the right amount of protection, while still allowing me to show off the beauty of the phone. I just took a Xacto/Utility knife and cut out the little piece covering the power button so that I could use the IR blaster. Easy. Took 20 seconds tops and looks no different. You cant even tell it was there. Its a little harder to depress the power button without the raised section on the case, but I use double tap to wake and sleep so that isnt much of an issue. I rarely have to use the power button anyway. I definitely recommend this case. Got it for about $6 shipped on eBay.
I got my Green version friday and used it over the weekend.
I really nice the feel and fit and really like the colour combination.
BUT there is a MAJOR downside to it: it has TERRIBLE flash bleed!
I got my black case and I absolutely love it! I love the rubber feel on the side and the transparent back; I feel as if its the only case I have seen that still shows the beauty of the phone off. I also got a tempered glass screen protector from the same buyer and I am very happy .
I don't understand why these case company keep interfering with the flash, if they just made the camera/flash cutout bigger then there would be no problem.

Maybe they don't test camera flash during their case design phase.

I've had and used this case for a couple of days now and I only have one thing to complain about:
The blasted volume buttons are so hard to depress!!!
I have a very similar case and my only complaint is that the clear back scratches easily and quickly, as opposed to - say - the Spiggen clear one that lasted much longer before inevitably scratching.
