Case Mate Tough - One (M8) Accessories

Ordered from Mobile fun and fitted. I know it's a shame to cover this phone but I need something with good protection.
Fits perfectly, completely snug. No gaps anywhere. I prefer the two part cases with the 'shock absorber' inner and the hard external shell case.
The back has a rippled effect which imho looks quite classy.
Nice piece of kit and feels great in the hand without adding any real bulk.

Does the volume button work perfectly? Mine didn't so had to be returned.

Do the volume buttons work? I know a few cases don't let the volume buttons work that well.
Also, does it fit well in your pockets? I wear jeans a lot and feel like it'll be a hassle to take this in out due to the fact it has a rubberized looking back

All works well with mine. The back is smooth plastic.

How's the grip on the case? I've heard it's slippery..

Volume buttons are perfect, no issues at all
Fits in jeans nicely I wear them most of the time.
The back of mine is not smooth plastic it has a rippled back so is great in the hand, not slippy at all.
As I said, quality case

Very Cool Hard Case

I ordered this on ebay after watching the video on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9RaUUN1Pgh4
I have to say I'm pretty impressed with it. Very unique design. It's hard, and rubberized to so you can keep a good grip on it.
It's not cheap, I paid about 60 bucks USD for it. Check it out, you guys might like it., I know I do!
Cheers!
Thank you for that! Bit bulky, but has cool features. Please give us an update when it arrives.
Same here. Too bulky and cheaplooking for my taste.

Did look at one like that but I thought it was a bit bulky too. Like the hard front cover for bag protection though.
Using this one on mine with a screen protector and a slip case, for bag protection
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-GEL-CAS..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item2c58e50d25
It is excellent quality and offers good bump and scratch protection. It does not increase the footprint much and has a nice lip on the edge to give you a good purchase on the tab while holding it.
Cut outs for ports and buttons are spot on and have enough room around them for a the cables to attach correctly (others do not!)
For the price I am very pleased.
Love the kickstand.

I bought the 2nd case for my Galaxy TAB and it's exactly the same case like yours except with white side.
It's cheap but it's good.
The case posted by Big_Totoro is good but, kinda worried the front lid with standing stoppers
which might eventually create marking or scratches on Galaxy TAB screen.
I'm using Incipio Silicrylic with kickstand. It is very nice and rugged. The kickstand kind of sucks but I contacted Incipio and they are going to work something out. Kickstand aside, the case is nice and heavy duty without adding much bulk.
I ordered this case in black just over a week ago and it arrived today. Brilliant fit, barely adds any weight while the device feels fully supported. The different prop positions are also great. My only concern was that it wouldnt fold back on itself to allow good usage one handed, but it a actually folds back on itself really well.

Got mine
It isn't really very bulky. compared to a 3mm rubber skin yeah it is, but that isn't going to give you any protection anyhow
The rubberized outside is very grippy. Easy to hold in one hand without the fear of slippage.
The "stand" parts don't contact the screen at all when closed. It might if you have pressure applied to it, but again, it is soft rubberized finish on those stant peices as well on the inside.
The fit is brilliant. Leaving all the external buttons accessible. The front cover folds back easily, and don't fold over on itself at all.
It feels very sturdy and rugged. Not cheap feeling at all.
Just goin to touch on the "bulkiness" topic again briefly. Most leather or PU leather cases I have looked at at alot bulker than this case. While that MAY off a little more padding, I have noticed that most of those leather cases, the clasp interfers with the view of the screen.
Just my 2 cents
Cheers guys!
Thank you. I haven't found a retailer in Europe though. I hope this will change.

Got the same hard case in black, OP said rubberized finish, though mine is more like a textured finish, not sure if there are 2 types?
looks a little plasticy?

Yes, certainly not what I would call rubbery or soft-touch. I haven't heard back from the seller yet.
Mine is Black as well. I guess we have a difference of opinion on what rubbery feel is
Its hard plastic with a rubberized coating. I dont know how else to explain it. Its not silicon rubbery or so rubbery that it would rub away.
Its not squishy, but its definatly not slippery. So there is a ruberized coating on it.

just got my GT for a week, i saw this case on "yeebay"
will order one during or after the xmas/NY holiday, so i'll receive it as soon as the post office people start working.
Just an update, it turns out that there are 2 versions - the GLARE is not rubberized. I bought this for ~$40 from the seller. According to the seller, this cost less than the rubberized and it made sense cause he is selling the "other" version for ~$60. But when I went back & look at the item # I bought from (he still has units selling under the same item #), the price has gone up to ~$60.
I think the case is fine as is and will not spend return shipping & extra $60 to get the rubberized finish, just put that towards a leather case instaed.
Hi Big_Totoro,
How did you find it at Ebay? I've no idea how it is called or who build it (Manufactor). I was not able to find it anywhere in the web. Can you give me a hint?
Merry Christmas to all people out there!
I bought one of these too and absolutely love it. The fit is perfect, the ergonomics are fantastic (someone has spent a lot of time thinking about how this will be used so it supports all positions), it provides great protection, and the rubberised surface feels great.
I reckon this is the best case I have bought for any device- most useful, and if anything the device feels smaller to me in the case- an illusion obviously, but a testament to the quality of it.
I bought a few cases for my tab, but this is the only one that I will be using

[Q] Thinnest Case?

Hi,
I am looking for a case that adds minimal bulk to the device. I would prefer something with a soft-touch finish, but not necessarily silicone.
So far, I have looked at the Seidio Surface, the SGP Ultra Silke, and the Rearth Ringke.
Does anyone know from experience which of these cases is thinnest?
Also, has anyone found other cases that will retain the slimness of the phone?
Thanks.
I dont know from experience but from reading these forums the incipio feather case maybe be the slimmest. Its hard case that snaps on but doesnt cover the top or bottom of the phone. I do got the Rearth Ringke which is awesome. The fit is great.

Thanks for the reply. Is the Rearth Ringke relatively slim as well?
Also interested in a slim case.
Its really not that bad. The fit is great and the texture it has is a nice touch. It has enough grip to keep it from slipping but slippery enough to keep lent and fingerprints off.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
^That's good to know.
Does anyone else have any suggestions for slim cases?
you could get these if you would consider a skin http://www.adreama.com/products/mobile-phone-skins/samsung/nexus-s
they're pretty damn thin, give good grip, protects the outside of your phone from scratches, and you get two so you can pick which color you prefer
I wish case mate would make a barely there case. There seems to be a huge demand for it.
incipio case quite slim, soft, and sexy.. the only drawback is it's quite fragile. my friend bought it awhile ago, he had SOD (sleep of death) many times using netarchy kernel and he had to remove the case to remove the battery. after a few remove, the case start to get loose and finally the case gave up and broke..

This seems interesting. I have found several cases identical to this on eBay for as little as $3 (like this andthis).
The material seems different than other TPU cases, and is just what I am looking for. Anyone else have a case similar to this (TPU, but with matte-finish rubberized rear)?

that second one looks just like the black one that you get in the two pack I posted. I actually think that the black one looks really bad with a black phone, but that's just my opinion.
I have the incipio feather case (black) and love it. Soft touch, great grip, and best of all no fingerprints. Not a tacky rubberized feel that sticks to everything (lint, hair). There is a little space at the top and bottom that isn't covered (bottom for port access) but it looks great. very slim. I bought the standard black case that best but had available on launch day and the crappy rubbery screen protector. Couldn't stand either one and dug out my g1 sleeve cover.
Bought the incipio because I hate the slick back of the phone. Been using it ever since.
I would disagree that it is fragile. I take it off and put it back on at least once a week and haven't had any loosening or breakage (after several months of use). Thing is still rock solid and fits perfectly snug.
hopefully this is helpful.
edit: although it is very thin and adds very little bulk, it is noticeable. With the case on, my phone no longer fits in my g1 sleeve and this makes me kind-of a sad panda.

How is your overall experience with the two-pack case that you posted? Does it add too much bulk to the device, or attract dust/lint?

Thanks so much for the detailed review. I appreciate the input.
The Feather seems to be a promising alternative to the other cases, mainly because I love the soft touch finish.

I actually think that the phone fits better in my hand with the case on. i'm not worried that i'm going to snap it in half on accident and it's only the tiniest bit bulkier than it normally would be.
I seem to notice little hairs and stuff accumulating right where the case stops, but it's easy enough to either wipe them off without removing the case or to just pull the case off and clean around the edges. overall, I think it's a great case. I added some before and after pictures so you could see how little bulk there is.
I also have the Incipio Feather Case and agree with discussion above. Actually have 2 for 2 phones.
Black is matte finish. Teal is not, but its not a hard, shiny plastic feel. I really like it, questioned buying but so tired of black (their other colors are
very bright, way too much for a mother of 3).
I was looking for the thinnest case possible and feel this is it.
The top and bottom is open so won't protect there, but has the corners.
The thing I love the most is the grip, felt the phone was too slick and just
waiting to drop. This solved that. I do not feel it is fragile, don't take off
that much, but have no problems using fingernail. It is tight, but that is good.
Would highly recommend. And if shopping on Ebay, there are some for $20
shipped. It states Nexus S (not specific for 4g, even on the box when you
receive it), but if it is Incipio, not knock off, it works.
sgp case is very good

Good hard plastic case

Hey all,
I ready own a rubberized otter box for my vivid but don't care for it because it gets caught in my pocket. I do a lot of transferring between my hand and pocket with my phone throughout the day and would like to purchase a different case.
Any ideas as to what would be a good plastic case for the vivid. If you could include urls to the item that would be great!

I loved my Candyshell, but I wouldn't recommend it. Unless they've fixed this, the candyshell didn't last too long under normal usage. The rubber started coming apart very quickly. I got mine back in November, so maybe this isn't an issue anymore. I stopped using that one and have the otterbox commuter case on now. It's definitely more bulky, but also a lot more protected
I have a candyshell on. Definetly feels protected especially when it feels like your about to break it getting the phone in. Other then that great case.

The Seidio Surface case hands down. It offers a great balance between bulkiness and level of protection. Plus it has a nice matte finish that is smooth to the touch.

I was going to get one of these for my Vivid, the Active version with the kickstand, but they sold out =[
I ended up with an Incipio case, and I was pleasantly surprised after trying it out alongside 3 other cases, it won hands down. It's a rubber inner core with a hard plastic shell to hold it onto the phone, with a velvety-rubbery feel on the outside. It's about half the size as the Otterbox case but coupled with a screen protector (I got matte finish) it feels just as protected. Considerable edge lift too when placing the phone face-down on surfaces. The velvety rubber surface also enters and exits my pockets with ease, and I frequently wear jeans... Not tight, but the pockets aren't huge either.
Highly recommend the Incipio case.

+1. I threw out my Otterbox after having the stupid cheap and HUGE holster replaced 3 times. I've had the Seidio now longer than all 3 of the Otter's, and it's still holding strong. I'll never buy an Otter again. The Seidio rules.

New Kickstand Case

I am always looking for the perfect kickstand case. To me the perfect case is one that steadily stands the phone in landscape as well as portrait position. It is also important it fits in my front shirt pocket and is fairly easy to get it in and out of the pocket. I have tried several, but the one listed below is my new favorite. It is the thinnest I have tried and is one piece made of hard plastic and goes on easily and is a very good fit with all cutouts properly aligned. It has a nice patterned grip feature on one side so if you hold your phone with your left hand, your fingers will grip these. The kickstand is the best I have used. It is the wide kickstand measuring about 1.25" at its base for a very sturdy platform in portrait mode. The only cons so far are minor, the on/off button and volume rocker are covered and a little hard to press. Also the space between the stand and its brace is small and my finger does not fit in, so it is not as easy to use as a holder as the others I have used. As you can see the price is very reasonable and it also comes with a generic screen protector, a cloth and a generic touchscreen stylus pen. So far it is my favorite.

This has been my favorite kickstand case.

oooh, i've never seen this yoobao case before.. noted.. pun intended.
That Yoobao case looks pretty good but when I first saw it, I was worried that the rotating thing would scrape against the phone's back panel. Does it?
I just got it in today. It doesn't touch the back of the phone. There's about a good millimeter or two between the phone and the rotating thing.

Does the kickstand on the Yoobao case also allow it to stand in portrait?
yep. that's actually why I bought it since it doubles up as portrait/landscape stand. the one problem is that it's a little wobbly. You have to adjust it a littlest bit. they could've remedied this by making it a bit wider.
do you think yoobao case rotating kick-stand disk will wear off after awhile? I mean constant rotation with whatever locking mechanism they use to keep it steady will wear off since it's all plastic stuff. But at the same time it can make for a neat fly-grip attachment Can you stick your finger under/inside?
If you have some time in your hands go to best buy and try this case. You wont regret it.

That's actually an re-branded SEIDIO Surface case.
http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung...e-metal-ks-combo-black-p/bd2-hr3ssgt2k-bk.htm
I have the Best Buy "Platinum Series" one here myself. It is a good case overall.
Pros: Very solid feel in your hands. Has a nice soft felt like material on the inside to offer extra protection. The kickstand works pretty well and offers a good angle for the Note 2 when in use. Very durable protection. Easy to install as its a two piece set for the case that clicks in place. The holster piece that comes with it is pretty durable as well and the belt clip is pretty nice as well.
Cons: Hard and I mean HARD to take the dang thing off. This could be a big deal killer for those who need to say swap out their battery/sd card/sim card or whatever often.
Certainly a good case but not without that one con that really be a deal killer for some.

I have this case too and I found that if you take a knife not sharp, more like the butter knife and insert it just off-center in the back "cut" where it snaps the 2 pieces in place, then "twist" the knife (very little twist), you hear a "snap" and now the 2 pieces will come off very easy. I was strugling with it too, but now it's a "snap" to take it off...lol...
there's a youtube video for the seido surface that explains a much easier way to take it off...so i assume it would work for this case as well.

It's a really nice stand, unfortunately the seller doesn't ship to the UK. Do you know the name of the case so I can do a search please? thanks!
It's a great case. But, as you mentioned, I wouldn't recommend one for people who chance their battery regularly. I stopped using mine when I started to see scratches on the edge of the sides of my phone. The case staves the phone when sliding it on and off.

I have tried both of those and I like the one I started this thread about much better. The kickstand is sturdier, it is much thinner, easier to get on and off and in my opinion nicer looking.
Cruzerlite makes a case with a kickstand built into the back of the case and its pretty sturdy with multiple colors. Check out Amazon, only about $25.

Schnail Titan Case Review.

I received my complimentary case on Thursday the 17th. Here is my initial review of the Schnail Titan case for the note 20 ultra.
First things first. Here's the pros:
1. It's tough. The edges are tight & hug the phone nicely with no gaps. If you love Otterbox, Supcase, or rugged cases in general, you'll be satisfied with Schnail.
2. No camera bump. Lays nice and smooth.
3. Rubberized sides allow for extra grip with a nice diamond pattern.
4. A sturdy kickstand (Double-edged sword, more info below).
5. USB-C protective cover (I love covers)
6. Easy install (place in frame first, then place into the bottom. Also has the instructions on a sticker).
7. Works with Whitestone Dome SP.
8. Works with wireless charging.
9. Price.
All in all, it's a solid case. I just have a few nitpicks. Call me Petty Roosevelt But:
1. While I love the kickstand, it's hard to pull out and put back it. I still love it though.
2. Ultra petty, but some different colors would be great. I would love this in orange, or blue, or red.
3. It would be awesome if this had a cover for the spen, so it won't fly out when you drop it.
Other than that, I give this case a Major, Major, Major go :good: Will keep using as my daily and recommend.

This case is an absolute beast. I have no worries about dropping the phone with this bad boy on. If you are looking for something that can take an absolute pounding, this is a great choice.
This case has a plastic rim that first fits around the phone, then slides into the outer shell. The fitment is perfect, the port holes all line up exactly. The charge port cover is a nice feature. Also, the phone lays flat which is a bit of a problem with this phone when using some other cases.
The sides are super grippy. I like how the design elements are all perfectly cut, no poor work here, you can tell the QA process is working well. The kickstand has a locking mechanism on it to ensure the phone doesn't fall when using it, but it's really hard to get back closed. It feels almost like you are going to break it at first, but its pretty robust so it has held up. Way better than a loose kickstand, but something to be aware of. There is a good sized lip at the top and bottom of the case as you can see in one of the pictures of the light gap between the screen and the table. This should help protect the screen in case of a drop on a flat surface.
The buttons work well, and there is a + and - sign on the volume buttons which is a nice touch.
Keep in mind as well that this a large case. It's meant for maximum protection, and achieves that well. No skinny jeans here...this needs a big ol pocket.
Final word: The designer clearly meant to create a case with maximum protection. They achieved this absolutely. The only way you can unintentionally break your phone in this case is if you drop the screen directly on a corner. The name Titan for this case is perfect. The case is huge and the kickstand is a little difficult to get out of lock. This is absolutely a five star product though.

I got mine too, while I love the case and definitely plan on using it daily over my phone, it's a shame that the kickstand is a pain to get out. The first time I had to use the other end of my fork to pop it out, it is that hard to pull out with your fingers!

Does the company even make a holster case for their cases? That case is nice but won't fit in my car vent mounted phone holder due to the case being too wide. Any suggestions?

3 demerits for the screen protector.

There is not a screen protector, its a face frame that essentially locks the case onto the phone.

The Schnail case is awesome but if you need a case with the same durability and comes with a holster case look no further than the Unicorn Beetle Pro by Supcase.

I received my complimentary case on Thursday the 17th. Here is my initial review of the Schnail Titan case for the note 20 ultra.
First things first. Here's the pros:
1. It's tough. The edges are tight & hug the phone nicely with no gaps. If you love Otterbox, Supcase, or rugged cases in general, you'll be satisfied with Schnail.
2. No camera bump. Lays nice and smooth.
3. Rubberized sides allow for extra grip with a nice diamond pattern.
4. A sturdy kickstand (Double-edged sword, more info below).
5. USB-C protective cover (I love covers)
6. Easy install (place in frame first, then place into the bottom. Also has the instructions on a sticker).
7. Works with Whitestone Dome SP.
8. Works with wireless charging.
9. Price.
All in all, it's a solid case. I just have a few nitpicks. Call me Petty Roosevelt But:
1. While I love the kickstand, it's hard to pull out and put back it. I still love it though.
2. Ultra petty, but some different colors would be great. I would love this in orange, or blue, or red.
3. It would be awesome if this had a cover for the spen, so it won't fly out when you drop it.
Other than that, I give this case a Major, Major, Major go :good: Will keep using as my daily and recommend.

I will stand with both of these reviews. 100% awesome case. A holster would be awesome too
So much for your thin 20 Ultra.
#brick
I always go for the thinnest and lightest ;}
Just wanted to update the thread with my review. I honestly think this is a beast of a case without feeling like a brick.
This case is an extremely rugged case that doesn't make the Note20 feel like it weighs a ton like some other cases can. This is a standard two-part design. That being an exterior rugged rubber shell and in inner plastic shell that snaps around the phone to provide extra shock protection. I personally did not have any trouble pulling the two halves apart but I also have a lot of experience with these types of cases so your experience with that may vary.
Pros:
1. The external rubber case is solidly built. When you squeeze the case without the phone or inner plastic shell in it, it is *very* hard to squeeze from the side. This is due to a very hard plastic backplate that prevents the case from flexing.
2. The kick stand is a monster. It is a very wide kickstand and once it is fully extended and locked into place, it takes a bit of force to get it to collapse again. To me, this is a pro since I don't have to worry about the kickstand giving out and my phone falling.
3. Installation is very simple. Once you have the inner plastic shell snapped around your phone, slide the phone into the bottom of the case first and then push the top of the phone into the case. It should just pop right in.
4. Phone feels balanced when in this case. The Note20 is a bit top heavy because of the giant camera bump but the case does a nice job of trying to make the phone feel balanced in the hand.
5. The top and bottom of the case flair out ever so slightly to keep the screen off of your desk should you put your phone screen-side down.
6. The volume and power buttons extend ever so slightly from the case to give them a nice tactile feel without being obtrusive.
7. Excellent gripping on the sides of the case and a stylish honeycomb design on the inside that makes its way to the inside of the kickstand.
8. Port cutouts are precision molded. The charger protector port snugly fits inside the case to protect the charge port but it has a nice lip that is easy to pull down on to open it up.
9. The price. For what this case offers the price absolutely cannot be beat. This is a premium product for a budget friendly price.
*Note* I personally cannot comment on screen protector compatibility because I don't have one on. However, in phone case experience past, I'm sure it's fine.
All in all, from now on this company will be my go to choice for phone cases. Also, as an added bonus, a portion of their profits goes to the American Cancer Society.
Way too bulky. But it's a perfect way to ruin the beauty of this phone's design!
