Metal bumper case question.. For those who own one.

Does your metal bumper case have a slight raise from the side to prevent scratches to both front and back especially the camera lens?
Do you think it would fit with a slim case?
Please post a link where you bought it.
Thank you very much and pardon my engrish!

If you worry about the back, maybe you can just buy a spare battery cover from eBay. I got 2 and they are about 8 dollars each and they are both with nfc

I bought one a couple of weeks ago. I think the aluminium case gives good screen protection, but although it is reasonably low profile the few millimetres each side do seem to make the Note 2 feel much bigger. I personally don't think it's the most elegant case, they look OK from the front, but the back doesn't seem to follow the flow of the stock battery case too well.
Don't get me wrong, the phone fits in perfectly without any movement but not my cup of tea. I lose one bar on the phone signal when the case is on, NFC is fine.
Possibly a like or hate accessory!

Thanks for all the replies. That was my main concern. I wanted a metal bumper case that has a slight rise to protect the camera lens. I'm going to buy a ballistic 3 layer protection case since GN2 can be easily damage even at waist height drop.
Why ballistic? Because its relatively cheap, unlike otterbox and offers awesome drop protection. Had one for E4GT and money worth spending.
Thanks again.

i use that one. slight raises on the front and back to protect the camera. It adds a little weight to the phone but its not unbearable. I actually like it. I also got the armror suit military shield screen and back protector. Screen protector was not compatible with the case, cause when I removed the phone from the case, the sliding portion of the front peeled the screen protector off. and the added thickness of the armorsuit full body protector makes it very snug in the case. probably the reason why it the screen protector peeled off as I was trying to remove it.

The bumper in my experience is causing a loss of one bar. I'm in good coverage areas or around WIFI constantly so no big deal for me.

these bumper cases, esp the metal ones.. are they easy to remove/replace? As a frequent traveler, I switch batteries every night to make sure that i'll always have a fully charged spare.. I'd hate to use the bumper case where you need a small screw to open (i think I saw a bumper case like that once).

Where'd you buy yours? I'm looking for a coffee colored metal door.

If theres any UK users in this thread that wants a black aluminium bumper for free then let me know and PM me your address. I bought one to try along with a selection of cases but am unlikely to use it. Its a great fit for the phone and is a screwless design.......the front plate slides up and snaps into place. I bought it from the link below.

Agree with your assessment of the images. Hopefully someone will order one and post better pictures.

I'd buy one, but I live in an area where I get 2-3 bars. That case would put me into permanent roam.

I don't think it is much different than the gs2 model, as it's just a simple 2-piece frame. Somebody - who ridiculously tries to assemble it with one hand, while shooting the video with the other - posted a Youtube video. I cannot paste the link as I'm a new member.

doesnt really look like a good design.
the holes around the headphone jack and the microusb port seem to be smaller than the holes in my ebay bumper case. given that my ebay bumper case stops me from using a lot of headphone cables and microUSB cables, i would assume this case would be downright silly for the price.

I don't like it....
.I bought this case for s II and note...but design for note 2 is failed

Metal bumpers for Note 2 are terrible designed because Note 2 is too curvy compare to other phones and the bumpers usually does not fill in the gaps of the curve back, and usually at the same level without raised edges to protect the back from scratching too.
A no no for me since I tried with a cheap bumper case from eBay

i think this is a bumper you're looking for. raised over the back so your phone's back cover wont touch whatever you put it on.

OMG 70 bucks for a BUMPER!?!?!?! JFC!!!!?!?!?!?

Wow....Looks good. But i fear that this bumper will make the phone look too wide.

Sorry guys, maybe I don't get this, but wouldn't any metal bumper case be only for looks and not protection? Edges of the phone, when dropped, are the most vulnerable points, and slapping on it a tight fitting metal will just transfer the shock instead of absorbing it to protect the phone. Am I missing something? These bumpers don't look like hollow metal tube with a "crumble zone" and inner soft lining. It looks awesome as hell, original for sure!!! But with additional weight to our phablet and what seems to be like a slick grip-less sides - wouldn't you worry that phone will be even more vulnerable to drop out of your hand/pocket with a higher chance of damage? Of course, I'm looking more from a practical point of view, while missing the whole pimping aspect of it lol!!!

Since the aluminium bumper is mainly one solid piece with a smaller one on top it acts like a strong exoskeleton taking all the force. For me the importamt thing is to have big enough cushion inside in order to avoid getting the phone in direct contact with the metal and also big enough lips to protect the front amd back.

HTC One M8 Incipio DualPro SHINE Case

http://gstylemag.com/2014/04/04/htc-one-m8-incipio-dualpro-shine-case-review/
Had a chance to use the DualPro Shine case on the HTC One M8. I like the fact it still gives the M8 that gunmetal metallic look even when covered. Its not the exact same color but its not bad. It gives the M8 a better grip then the actual phone itself. It can take a bit trying to pry the cover off. I did a full review on it if you want to check the link as well.

I have this just not the shine but same thing, just plastic i guess? Actually only complaint i have is there is hardly any grip to it and i have the plastic. If this backing is smoother as it looks in pics i would think the grip would be bad as well if not worse. I'm saying when your hands are sweaty/wet there's no grip, gotta hold on tight with this case!

I remember with the M7 version of this case, there would be a noticible impact on reception. Once you removed the case the phone would function normally. Did you see any of that when using this case?

I just bought this case, and I love it and dislike it. Great quality but if you are looking for complete anti-slip form the OEM design of the phone, this is not the case. It has slipped out of my hand due to the metal twice. I was hoping this wouldn't be the case, but im giving it a week . Overall look and protection is great though.
There are no issues with flash on this, or reception, or the IR blaster.

I got the red one from Verizon looks and feels amazing

I have the same one, and while it is a great case it is very slippery. Going to look for.something with better grip.

I had the same case, except in black and gray, not the shine version, but otherwise the same case. Really good protection and fit, phone feels solid in there. But the black one had about zero grip to it as well. It's sort of soft touch coating, but more plastic feeling than rubbery. Also had a slight texture to it. After a week, returned it to the store... Was also considering the shine, but seems like it's just as slippery if not more so. :/

hi everyone,
if anyone has a spare Incipio dual pro shine to get rid of, I'd be glad to exchange it with one of my UAG cases (I can give away both black or transparent versions). Good condition, no trace of use.
PM me if you're interested. Thanks!

Exact Prism clear case (similar to Supcase's Hybrid Bumper Case) review with pics

I saw earlier that this case I recently got looks very similar to the SUPCASE hybrid bumper case posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706539
Thought I'd post some pictures then and a quick review, since this case is a few bucks cheaper than the SUPCASE after shipping costs and everything, so you guys can get a deal on a preeeeeetty good case. All the cut-outs are where they need to be, the bumper TPU looks glossier than most TPU that are matte, and the HTC One's back looks slick as ever in the clear back window. Can't ask for much more in a case under ten bucks.

HTC One M8

Just got this case. So far my favorite case. I have the Hyperion, the cimo, the dot view but so far this is my favorite.

I got this case as well, in black. The top and bottom lips are loose like someone mentioned and quite a bit of dust gets under it . Overall the case looks pretty sleek and the clear back definitely shows off the nice metallic look. However, I feel that the case adds quite a bit of weight to the phone. Maybe I'm just used to the cruzerlite bugdroid cases as I've had on my older phones. Does anyone have both the exact prism and the cruzerlite cases and able to comment on their thoughts? :laugh:

Ah, thanks for the review. I have the Supcase one and it also has the problem with the top and bottom lips being a little loose. I wonder if these are all the same cases with just different logos slapped on the back? I dunno... I also ordered the amCase deal, on it's way. Curious to see if that one's any better.

I don't think anyone will be better than the other.. If you ask me they are probably all made in the same plant(or few plants) just some are stamped with the individual company logo and some are not. There are also a bunch of the same type of case on ebay with no brand name. I mean a lot of these cases that these companies brand are just generic cases from China.

My cheapo amCase came in today... It's basically the same design as all the others, but the back is a matte frosted plastic which actually makes the phone more awkward to hold, it's a little slippery. Basically the same exact tpu bumper, but mine has slightly more sag at the top and bottom lips. I like the way the glossy Supcase feels... will keep the amCase as a $2 spare, lol.

Just picked one up... Definitely like how it shows off my Amber Gold while protecting my device. I don't like how hard it is to get the phone in and out of the case.

I have this same case in the same color. My only issue with this case is the volume control buttons are a little stiff. I hope that will fix itself when the case gets broken-in. I love how this case shows off the body of the M8 through the clear back.

I like the quality of the side's. Would love an all matte case. All I've found have a matte back with glossy sides.

I've seen one by Griffin, has the matte sides, but a glossy back, lol. Saw it at an unofficial Verizon store, was $24.99, which is obviously a lot for a case like this. The sales guy opened it up for me, the matte sides were actually kind of slippery, no grip to them.

Nice review, thanks. Just worried as people seem to complain about the gap on the top and bottom. Luckily they're cheap so no big loss if I didnt like it

In your opinion, this the best clear case out there?

I can't really say, as I haven't tried all the cases. However, evidence points to this case being generic and is identical to clear cases from other brands. The Exact Prism case is at a good price though, so I would wholly recommend it, despite the looser fit.

Anyone have the white/clear one? I was wondering if the white stains

Case Mate Barely There Review

So I picked this case up a week ago and put it through it's paces so I thought I would share my my experience with it.
Pros:
- Very slim. Adds almost no thickness to the phone
- Offers good scratch protection for the back and the lens of the phone
- Crystal clear
- Offers a bit more grip.
Cons:
- The fit is a little off. When the case is on, there's a little bit of play up and down and every once in a while, you can feel the sides of the case give when you're gripping the phone suggesting that the fitment on the side is a little off.
- Rough edges. I have a tempered glass screen protector on the phone and it helps makes the front of the phone flush with the edges of the case. Even with this, the edges of the case are sharp. The sides aren't particularly noticeable but the cutout for the camera near the top of the phone becomes very apparent when using the phone landscape. MSRP for this case is $25 dollars and at that price range, I believe rounding the edges to make the case feel a little nicer in your hands is not an absurd expectation.
Overall I really like the case. The fitment issues isn't big enough to affect the performance of the case. It snaps on strong and stays on. The fact that there's a bit of flexing annoys me, that's all. My biggest gripe with the case has to be the rough edges. If you could overlook that, this case is a definite winner if you're looking for a sleek clear case to show off and protect the beautiful aluminum finish of the M8.

You can get it from Amazon for cheaper:
http://www.amazon.com/Case-Mate-Bar...-1&keywords=case+mate+barely+there+htc+one+m8
I'll post some pictures soon.

I agree it's not as "snug" as other Barely There cases I've had in the past. I wish they would have covered the top and bottom some what though.
I've upgraded now to the Naked Tough which is essentially the Barely There but with a TPU bumper. In fact if the Barely There was just like the hard section of the Naked Tough, it would be perfect.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the review. I used to love the Barely There cases, but as you mentioned, the edges are kind of rough and sharp. Too bad.

I agree that the edges are a little on the rough side but my case has no play in it at all. Its almost to tight, which I guess is good expect for when I've had to remove it. I ordered mine from amazon so maybe with it sitting in storage it shrunk?

This has been the best slim case I have found. I only use the case for light protection and grip mostly. not really for protection.

Yeah that's the trade off with these slim cases. You're getting pretty much zero drop protection and only minor cosmetic damage protection. I could deal without drop protection if only the Barely There covered the top and bottom, I'd be happy with just all round cosmetic damage protection from it. Ended up opting for its bigger brother the Naked Tough.

Just got mine. Fits like a glove, no play whatsoever, and the edges don't bother me a bit. I used this case on my S3, and was glad to see it available for this phone.

I also bought this case and was fully satisfied with it for a while, then the soft touch coating began to peel off. I guess it was my fault, I work in a hospital and clean my phones daily with alcohol. For a long time I've been using spigen ultra fit cases that are also soft touch, and never has the soft touch coating peeled off. On the barely there case it only lasted 3 weeks. Now I forcefully rinsed off almost all the coating. It still works, but it's slippery and looks awfull.

It don't protect the top and bottom sides nor the plugs nor the buttons.
It's very thin and you can see the beautiful brushed metal back of your M8. :good:

Both are made in China.
