DRACO makes one for the M7. May be they’ll make one for the M8.

Poetic Element slim aluminum case

Has anyone gotten one of these? I've been tempted to order one but wanted to see if anyone could share an opinion on it. It looks pretty slick for $15.

I bet it would interfere with the NFC chip because it's conductive. It does look pretty cool though.
Hmm that does look nice. Might replace the cheap eBay TPU case I currently have
Does any case work with nfc? I have to take my moko leather case off to use it. I don't care since I only wanted to spend the free $10 but I thought pretty much no case would work.
At that price, I wouldn't be surprised if the "aluminium" part is really just plastic with a brushed metallic-looking coating...something that you can see on some Galaxy Nexus cases and battery covers. If it were really aluminium I'd imagine the case would have to cost over $20. Also it looks like the carbon fiber insert is exactly in the spot where the NFC chip is, which might be their way of letting the NFC chip work through the case.

It shouldn't be plastic, the description states:
soft-coated Anodized Aluminum hard shell
...anodized aluminum shouldn't involve any plastic, and if it does they are grossly mis-representing their product. Which isn't like Poetic. They are actually a pretty decent company, that cares about the opinion of their customers. I had to deal with them when they first released their leather cases and were having magnet issues. Their customer service is top notch.
Regardless, I'm ordering an element case today. I'll let you know how it goes.

I have a tag in my car, behind the plastic in the console, and can beep it through that plastic, and through a folded over moko slim fit case. Thats like half an inch total almost of penetration.. That's weird that you have to take your case off.
The nfc may... go through this aluminum. If it was steel there'd be a less likely chance.

I ordered this case yesterday- it looks really nice and very reasonable at $15 for a metal case.
My update today lists "Wednesday August 29, 2012 - Tuesday September 4, 2012" as my delivery date range.
Don't know if the aluminum case will effect the GPS- but I guess I'll find out soon enough

Got my case yesterday- it's plastic with a large aluminum insert. So- it's not all metal. It's really plastic w/some metal on the back.
BTW- it's only a cover for the back of the N7 not the front.
There's some photos of the case (white version) here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856371

That's kind of a bummer. They really should be more up front about that. It doesn't state anything about plastic in the description. Glad I didn't order yet.

Yeah- I really don't see how they can claim "soft-coated Anodized Aluminum hard shell" when it's a 100% plastic shell with a thin aluminum billet simply glued on to the center back side of the plastic cover. Inaccurate advertising to be generous!
At least shipping was free- but I requested a RMA because it is not a "soft-coated Anodized Aluminum hard shell" at all- it's cheap plastic.

Can the thin aluminum be peeled off?
I like the hard plastic shell, but I don't like the big rectangular text logo.

Possibly- but it would most likely leave a sticky glue residue behind. If you've ever seen the way they attach the metal engraved nameplates to the marble base of trophies- that's how the aluminum plate is attached to the plastic cover- some sort of glue that's bonded to the metal- then pressed on to the plastic for a (semi) permanent bond.
$15 seems a bit steep for a simple plastic back cover for the N7...
Here's my first look of the Poetic Element case:

Searching a simple case - NON FLIP !

Hi there,
I am looking for a case for my Note. I am seriously sick of flip cases. I don't see any good use for them as they just add a layer of annoyance for me.
What I am looking for is a case that wraps around the corners.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-note-2-cases/galaxy-note-2-case-ultra-thin-air.html
Like this but wrapping the top and bottom too.
I have a few bumps and scratches I would like to hide.
I can't find a case.
Isn't there any case prefably made out of leather or even faux leather that just wraps my phone ?
edit/
This is acutally exactly what I want (bare in mind this is a case for the Note not the Note2 !!!
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/sgp-samsung-galaxy-note-case-ultra-capsule-series.html
1) very similar to ultra thin air and the like but covers a little better and has good reviews from people on xda: http://www.amazon.com/DBA-Cases-Abu...32909&sr=8-1&keywords=dba+cases+galaxy+note+2
2) casemate tough- thinnest case that provides protection comparable to aegis, uag, and otterbox: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...&sr=1-6&keywords=casemate+tough+galaxy+note+2
3) closest thing you will find to a thin leather case but with no protection on top or bottom: http://www.zoarah.com/foxjail-air-pocket-case-for-galaxy-note-2.html
The last one definetely goes into the right direction but it looks pretty damn ugly to be honest.
This is the case I use on my iPad
http://www.spigen.com/tablets/apple/ipad-2/spigen-sgp-ipad-2-leather-case-griff-series.html
I would be totaly fine with something along that lines. Even if it doesn't cover the top or bottom.
This would be the exact thing I am looking for (unfortunately it's for the Note)
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/sgp-samsung-galaxy-note-case-ultra-capsule-series.html
i have the white one and it looks really good

Ah sorry I should have mentioned that I do not want TPU cases. I have 2 of them already and I don't like TPU cases as they bend and can be "pressed" away.

lol, you do realize that the ultra capsule that "you exactly want" is Made from 100% TPU material. look at the information on the website itself. anyway, the closest thing i know that makes that is the mercury tpu case here (i own a white one- it's definitely a great tpu- not flexible like the cruzerlite cases- its a harder tpu for sure -very similar to the ultra capsule (i owned two for my galaxy note 1)): http://www.amazon.com/Mercury-Flexi...053&sr=1-2&keywords=mercury+tpu+galaxy+note+2
Case Mate Tough....slim but provides good protection. Inner layer is a TPU bumper with a hard shell.

that Spigen Note 1 case is TPU.
"SGP's Ultra Capsule case not only enhances the look of your device but also protects your phone from scratches and drops. It is made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a very tough and flexible material. It can be twisted freely but will never stretch, deform, or rip."
If you want a non-TPU case that covers the corners and edges your options are: Speck, UAG, Otterbox, Duzign, Seido, Body Glove, and Case Mate.
I purchased the one in the link below. Very happy with it.

Yes, Borderline series has a clear plastic back. I really just want a band that goes around the sides
I emailed them and they are not making a borderline case for the HTC One m8 at this time nor have any plans to make one.
Anyone found something similar to the Borderline? Tpu bumper, but just frame, not with plastic back?
i am looking for one as well. i like the beautiful backing and feel of my phone, but just want something that will rest on the surface i put it on so that the phone itself doesnt get scratched

It has a translucent back, nice bumper around the phone, It makes the phone easier to grip, yet allows the great design to shine through.

This is what I have. It is a bumper case. You get to see the metal back, while it's being protected. Good enough.

So you think there's a crystal clear (made of transparent plastic or something) bumper only out there? The ones I saw are made of metal and are not transparent, of course...

I don't remember what material the bumper was made from. I've only seen it once. It could have been metal for all I know.

That's also a nice one. Thank you for sharing. I'm always on the market for new cases, and I don't have a bumper case that I'm particularly fond of. This will be a nice addition to my collection. If you come across a case that is of comparable quality to Otterbox, that would be ideal. I don't have a case that I trust with my heart and soul quite yet

M8 Clear Cases to Showcase

Hey everyone, so I know there's a few thread about cases which I've read through. But what I'm looking for is any info on good quality clear cases.
The main factor I like is the appearance. It's just about time a company really put an effort into the looks as well as the performance of a current Gen smartphone.
So my question is what clear cases are out there that some of you possibly already have or have seen online? I've scoured amazon and other sites and found some good ones, but still haven't found the "one".
Currently I own the otterbox commuter (too big, covers whole phone), the supcase hybrid with clear back which is what I currently have on. And I placed an order yesterday for the exact prism case with the clear back. Though I now realize the prism and supcase are probably the same exact case....
My issue with the supcase hybrid clear back is the scratches that accumulate so easily on the back. Most of the cases out there are simply cheap. Some are very good for the money but I'm looking for long lasting durable quality.
I have an eye on the supcase unicorn beetle hybrid as well but my turn off is the back being frosted to the point that you can't see the detail or shine of the m8. At least that's what I've seen in pictures.
I'll use an all clear or some kind of hybrid bumper clear back case. I also saw the griffin reveal case, but I can't find any good pics. And from the description it looks like it's the same material as the supcase bumper hybrid. I was hoping the griffins clear back would be a solid hard scratch resistant material.
I've also seen the case mate barely there and some others. So if any of you have any other clear or partly clear cases please post some feedback on how you like them and pics would be great too!

Yes it is.
Just a word of caution with clear cases, they have a tendency to collect lint and crap which is easily noticeable. I had the cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit Case clear and ended up selling it to a buddy. The pocket lint and crap collects under it and bugged the crap out of me. I cancelled my clear UAG order and changed it to black in fear of the same problem.
Now this might not bother some, but bothered me enough to share.
I have the Spigen® [STRONG-FLEX] Capsule Clear Ultra Fit (TPU), it's pretty nice:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...tiveASIN=B00IF5B218&linkCode=shr&tag=cshus-20
Makes me feel like I can toss my phone on the table or something and it will be OK. Doesn't seem to scratch or yellow. Makes handling the phone more fun since I don't have to be so delicate and it seems durable while showing off the nice aluminum case.

I also have this case. Some people have said the edges look yellow. Um no. If the lighting in the room has some yellow in it then it will look like that on the thick sides. This is a very nice case with covered buttons for volume and power. And exact cut outs for everything including back mic, flash and camera lenses. Vs flash and one of the camera lenses being one cut out for both.

I too have the case but pictures using flash don't look right. Almost like the case diffuses the flash light so it's not direct out as well at the object you are photographing. I also have a qi receiver under my case in order to have wireless charging so now I have a black tpu case coming today to hide the qi receiver.

I have this case as well. I like how the power and volume buttons are covered. I can see where some say the case looks yellow, but you really have to take a close look to even notice.
All in all I am happy with the case. My one complaint is a sharp line that extents all around the back of the phone. I think it would have been better to have made this smooth as it would be more comfortable in hand.
Dropped my phone on the bleachers at the game, found my volume up button dented in, non-functional.
Pried it out, unbent it a bit and got it back in, works.
Bummed the case let that happen though. And agree about the sharp edge.

Unfortunately, my clear spigen case has a slight yellowing to it. This was present in purchase, so beware. Otherwise, it is a very good protector that allows the m8's looks to shine.

Hi, i`ve been searching for a transparent case for OP3. I want to buy the soft gold version, it looks really beauty. I don`t like to buy a beautyful phone to cover with a case and looks like any other phone. But i priorize protection too. I found a transparent case by Nilkin at AliExpress, but i don`t know if it`s a good case. What do you recommend?
Orzly Flexicase
The best transparent case which is also still pretty protective is probably the ringke fusion

i agree with the orzly flex case, it does not give much bulk but can protect too

Ringke fusion is an amazing case for the money. I'm rocking it right now. I got the Pleson TPU case initially, but this Ringke just blows it out of the water. Very very well thought out. Probably the best TPU case I've ever owned for any phone. I religiously buy TPU as I have found it protects phones much better than any Otterbox, or anything with a "hard" cover. The hard covers all create a much higher impact in my personal opinion on the phone. The TPU absorbs the impact, instead of transferring it into the device. Never broke a single screen/phone wearing a TPU case, and I'm rough with my phones. I take them dirt biking on trails and on the MX course. I've crashed countless times. Never had a single issue.
The only thing a TPU case can't protect you from, is getting drunk and getting in the river and forgetting your phone was in your pocket. I'll miss you 1+1, I'll never forget you....

hello from ATX! I had the pleson (clear) case first too, and while it's a great looking case I agree the best TPU slim case I've found is the Ringke one so far as well (and i've tried a good handful...)
I have the Orzly flexicase. It's look and feel is just great.
I've got the Pleson and the Ringke. It took some getting used to but I like my Ringke one more, harder plastic on back with tpu sides is nice
I have the Orzly Flexicase also. Love it. It isn't too thin or thick. I dropped my phone numerous times already. Haven't damaged it yet. (knock on wood)
I have a nillkin nature case since november, it's still great, not any scratch and protects my phone well, but it is becoming "yellowish", it's not as transparent as on the beginning.
Nillkins transparent tpu case is great. I"ve been using it since a few months. It's super slim compared to my other noname TPU case, has great grip dou to its sides. I've been using a case like this on my last 2 phones, will get one for the next one for sure.
I'm using stock just fine.
I am using Ringke fusion, it's nice but the rear is a fingerprint magnet.. It is getting dirty very fast.
I've bought orzly flexicase, will compare it with the Ringke one when I receive it.
Also for me the best is the Nillkin tpu case, very slim and transparent that show the device without cover it.
That cover have also a protection for the hole of type c cable.
For me official curved tempered glass with poetic affinity case is perfect
I have the spigen ultra hybrid and it's great. Also fits snugly with the orzly tgsp, no issues.

I've been using the official transparent case from OnePLus and it's good. No yellowish tint so far in 5 months.
I'm using spigen hybrid ultra clear case and it's incredible, fits really well and dust doesn't get under the case. Really good.
