I have the defender in red, "Sexy". I got back to the symmetry because it fits my style better.
bump
One of ours has black symmetry. The other in blue commuter. The reason we didn't get leather backs. Always wrapped in Otterbox. Has saved so many other phones from my destruction.

Thank you bro
i also had otterbox commuter with my s3 and i can say its one of the best cases you can find for any smartphone, very recommended
The otterbox commuter is on my G4 now (plastic back). Super beefy corners and the port protector flaps close perfectly. No problems in my jeans pockets with the extra bulk. I had the commuter case on my old Nexus One and I remember thinking "these little flaps aren't going to last" but I was proven wrong and I'm buying again (after skipping otterbox on my S3). I do admit to having some leather flip case envy . . . maybe this is the phone I'll have 2 cases for.
I have few questions regarding the Otterbox Commuter, I hope that someone can answer them:
Dose the commuter case with the phone inside is wobbling when you put the phone on the table?
Dose it also have a curved shape as the phone?
Dose wireless charging working with the case?
Thanks.

Phone in the case does wobble a little bit when you put it on a table. It wobbles and settles down quickly.
The back of the commuter case does have a curve.
I have not tried wireless charging so don't know.
I have One of my G4's in the Commuter (Black/Black but I painted the gel case part Red) and the other Two G4's are in Defenders and I must say I love both of these cases. They are solid as a rock and make me feel like my devices are well protected.
Though I have been looking into more case options, both for the "wow" factor on looks and a more slimline protection option (Though the OtterBox does not add an unreasonable amount of bulk by any means, sometimes it is just nice to have that stripped down feel, like a bumper for example).
Thank you
Hope it doesnot add too much bulk or weight to G4. I am using Spigen and it's comfortable

My synergy adds bulk but the phone feels solid think htc titan. Id also prefer the ultra thin slimmed down feeling. I prefer minimal pocket scratch slight bump protectors. Still looking. Slowly building a collection as i find interesting ones.
I want to show some love for Otterbox cases, I had one on my Samsung Captivate (remember those?) and last week I finally upgraded to the G4 and my Otterbox is still holding together fairly well. Very little battle damage done to it after years of use and abuse, the rubber plug over the power/data port came off from excessive use and a six or seven year life span. I carried my phone everywhere, indoors and outdoors, used it as a music player while working in the field - dropped it many times, ran over it with lawnmowers both wheels and blades, and the worst damage done was a slight chip to the plastic that was sanded down easily. Defenders will probably outlast your phone. And I loved that with the belt clip I could flip my phone around with the screen out so I could have a clock while it was plugged in. I've got a Supcase on right now because I lack funds and it was really cheap (pricewise, not sure about quality yet) but I do plan to get another Defender for my G4 when I get some extra money to spend.
If anybody has one, can you put the phone in the belt clip and still see the screen?

If you want to update the OP with "GENERIC" product link it is OK.
Ordered commuter blue coloured cover for G4 from Otterbox Asia at Hong Kong. Price 40 USD including shipping to India and custom duty.
Is there any special precaution while putting on this cover?

As much as I hate the bulk that Otterboxes tend to add to phones, I always buy one with a new phone for things like camping or hiking etc. where the highest protection is more important.
i had otterbox commuter too

Hi,
I really need recommendation of a case for my Nexus S. It is i9020 Super Amoled GSM version.
I am going to give this to my family member, and she said that she does not want thick ugly case.
What would you recommend?
It does not matter about the material, the only requirement is thin ... and easy to apply.
In the past, I did not use any case for my Nexus S. And now, I have moved to Galaxy Nexus (also without a case).
So, I have absolutely no experience with case
Thanks.
Thin cases usually don't provide any protection from fall and it seems like you are looking for the "thinnest case" possible to provide protection from scratches, scuffs, etc.
How about going with the double sided ZAGG invisibleShield? I use it on my phone and it's great.
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
Another cheaper option is to get the full body skin from bestskinsever.com. Essentially the same concept, but without ZAGG's warranty. Much cheaper too I think.
In terms of an actual case, I think the thinnest I've seen are the Incipio Feather cases. They don't cover the top and bottom of the phone, but they are very thin and they just snap on.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120828904305
I just bought a white one, these are super cheap!
I was looking at ZAGG, but I think it is a bit difficult to put it on, like applying screen protector films. Trapped bubbles ... I don't think she likes that.

Again, the transparent/invisible skin is difficult to put on, especially me.
I failed many times with screen protector.
Btw, Incipio Feather is one of my option, but I found it difficult to find for Nexus S, especially in Europe.
Well, she is not too clumsy with phone. She will drop it once or twice ... I gave her my HTC Desire previously and it got some scratches
How about TPU case thing? Which one is thin ... OR I saw some kind of rubber or silicon that protect nicely.

TPU is good. It has a good fit and provides some protection from small drops. I actually use a TPU case if I want my phone to feel safer, like when I go running. Its also very easy to put on. You can buy them from ebay or from dealextreme.com, but dealextreme has a very long wait time.
Don't buy silicone if she wants a smaller case. Silicone provides a better grip and has more impact absorption, but it is usually thicker and sometimes does not fit well. Also, keep in mind that if you buy the Incipio Feather cases, they won't fit perfectly if you have the shield protector on the back or around the bezel.
Here's a few pics of the TPU case I have. I got it from dealextreme, came with a generic screen protector and a soft tip stylus for $3 CDN, but it took a month to get here.

Hi sm1ke,
Nice case I think. Do you think it added quite a thickness?
I am now comparing yours with Rearth Ringke: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo9swPPpDVU
Is yours i9020 (Super-Amoled, GSM) model?
The thing that I don't like with Rearth Ringke, it is rubbery which you can see at the end of the video review above.
And what brand name should I use to search yours on eBay? Because I think "TPU" is just the material type, not the brand, correct?
Thanks.

Yes, my phone is the i9020a, GSM model. I just measured the thickness and it is about 2mm thick, maybe 1.5mm. It does make the phone feel thicker, but only by a small amount.
My case doesn't have the rubbery feel around the screen, its more like plastic. Also, it is firmer than the Rearth case on the sides. It still pulls away a little bit, but not as much as the Rearth case.
I bought mine from dealextreme.com. This is the exact one I bought (It says PVC in the title, but in the description it says TPU):
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/protec...s-for-samsung-i9020-nexus-s-grey-57055?item=9
I also found this on eBay. They look like the same type of case but with a more solid color. I may order a white one. (This listing is for the i9020 4G model)
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/FROSTED-TPU-...807163?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43aea439fb
Also if you search "nexus s mercury" on eBay, you'll find cases made with similar material, but they have actual cut outs for the power and volume buttons. Nicer I think, but also more expensive.
Similar to Zagg, I suggest this naked shield for nexus S... It's not so simple to apply, but the final result is very good.

ZAGG is one of the easiest screen protectors to apply. Unlike dry screen protectors where it is common to have bubbles, the ZAGG invisbleshield uses a "wet" application meaning you can slide the protector around until you get it right. Also since it is wet it's easy to remove all the bubbles.
I would be surprised if you HAD bubbles with a ZAGG protector.
Well I only had to swallow my pride for about a day because my new ebay case arrived today after only having ordering it about a day and a half ago so off goes pink and grey and on come white on white. I really wanted a white case since i opted gor the white Note 2 it just didnt seem right to put any other case on it. So here are a few pics. To me I would compair it to a siedio since it is a two piece case consisting of a silica rubber case and a plastic outer shell. The case also has a built in stand for watching movies as well as a holster whose belt clip doubles as a stand as well.
I tried to put the Note 2 with the pink and grey body glove case on it in the holster but it was too loose and would not stay so that lead me to believe that this combo in thick but not by much which equals more protection to me.
The case and holster were only about $12 bucks shipped and it is an unbranded unit but better built then some of the units I have seen that people have purchased off ebay.
I am happy with the case, I may or may not purchase a "Big Name Brand" case in holster in the future but only if it comes in white.

I just got this case in black, it's really very nice. I like that it covers all the buttons and the ports, it really provides some great protection. Having two options for stands is nice too.
Thanks for posting this, I just ordered one myself. I had a few questions if you don't mind. How does the overall fit of the case, is it easy to put on and take back off? How much thicker does it actually make the phone? Does it attract lint/dust when it's in your pocket, or is it too big to carry around in your pocket.
Link to ebay please??

.i ordered a case that had a similar belt clip for my GS2 and i broke the clip...TWICE
please comment on whether or not the belt clip seems secure (if it will snap off easily or not)...both times i broke it i barely even touched it
with a phone this large i can see it getting caught somewhere or banging into something
also...does the phone fit properly in the holster (when the screen is facing out) so that you can actually use the kickstand feature? not the kickstand that is connected to the case...im asking about the kickstand that is connected to the belt holster... the one i bought for my GS2 didnt...it only fit when the screen was faced inwards
Thanks for showing this. I bought the white and black one today. I did consider getting the white only. It looks pretty nice. Thanks for sharing.

To all that wanted a few better pictures then what is posted on ebay your welcome.
Unfortunately my work computer will not allow me to look at online auctions so ebay links are out........maybe....wait one
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110973691923
I find the case to be very easy to put on and take of if necessary, fit and finish a very good, as far as lint from pocket, I cannot comment on that one because that why I got a case with a holster.....lol. I dont think it makes the phone that much thicking and its weight is still very minimal.
I have not attempted to put the phone in the holster with the screen out. I had an experience once walking by the ironing board in my bedroom and bumped a metal piece sticking out and a had a wonderful 1 1/2 inch scratch on my beautiful phone but I or someone else will check that out and post it up later.
I do think that the holster clip is the weak link of this whole package. Its is no Otterbox or Ballistic but I have broken my Otterbox holster clip getting into my truck in the past.
I can say that for the cost it is one of the nicest, cheap cases floating around on ebay. I am happy to display my incredibly expensive phablet in it.

the holster clip is my concern...as you said that you believe it is the weakest link as well...like i mentioned i went through 2 of these on my GN2 (not the same exact one, but the holster clip part looks to be exactly the same) which ended up costing me like $30..that is why im strongly considered getting the Seidio Surface combo..but that is gonna cost me $57..i think i might have to pay a higher premium to get better quality this time around
follow up
does the phone fit properly in the holster (when the screen is facing out) so that you can actually use the kickstand feature? not the kickstand that is connected to the case...im asking about the kickstand that is connected to the belt holster...
The answer is...... It does not go into the holster with the screen facing out. I know that seems kind of weird since it has a kickstand feature but it does not slide into the holster that way.

The rubber around the top and bottom is the same as it is on all sides, no extra padding in possible problem areas. The rubber is soft which should give some shock absorbtion as well as bounce if dropped on a hard surface (may I never need to know)
I will try to post a pick of it later.
What's your favorite case for your G2 (white Verizon)? I don't need OtterBox Defender bulk or protection. But would like the case to offer protection and feel good in the hands none the same. Having the buttons covered would be a great bonus.
Wanted to add the screen has a Zagg (original) screen protector on it. Any cases that don't interfer with it?
Cruzerlite Bugdroid on my Verizon G2. Fits perfectly with just enough protection and allows a screen protector to fit as well.
I have a Ballistic and I like it. It fits good, isn't too bulky, and it covers the back buttons. My wife has a Trident, which is also nice but is a bit bigger. No button coverage on the Trident. Both accommodate a screen protector just fine. In fact the Trident case comes with one.
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Neo-...-Armor-Case-for-LG-Optimus-G2/1877761621.html
I have this case. It keeps low profile, protects the corners (most important for g2) and has soft touch tpu on the back. Nice to hold. Previously had spigen slim armor (this was way too heavy and too bulky), cheap tpu case (i think the phone would be better of naked rather than in those 0.3mm or 0.6mm cases, cause they provide no protection at all).
Would like to try that Diztronic tpu case that everyone seems to recommend. But i dont want to pay for shipping as much for the case itself. 17$ total Whoaat. Also i think cheap tpu case provides almost the same protection as that Diztronic one.
Puregear slimshell i think would be the perfect case for me, but its too expensive.
I have the Verizon and love the Incipio Feather. I've dropped my phone several times and the case does its job. No dings or scratches on the phone. Very low profile. Nice soft rubbery matte coating. quality plastic. Tough.
i dont know if it fits the verizon, but i have a spigen slim armor and i think it's a very nice case... but the buttons are not covered...
I use the Incipio Dual Pro and love it!
Diztronic case is best for me...

Wow! I actually have the Dark Blue version of this but I found the Cyan version is only $5 plus Free Shipping. Mine is starting to get beat up, so $5 is a steal. Incipio is the best. The product is quality and solid. It has a awesome powder rubber coating that helps keep it nice and clean/scratch free. It isn't painted or made of cheap brittle plastic like other cases.
Just FYI on the price.
Update: Incipio typically comes with 2 screen protectors also... which makes it an even better deal.
Just received the cheapest possible matte TPU case from ebay, cost me less than 1€ and it's just great! Fits perfectly, there is absolutely no chance the phone will fall off from it. The cutouts are fitting perfectly (the simtray cutout wasn't necesary tho, you don't change sim card too often, or is it just me?) even though they aren't that well detailed, but hey, it cost less than 1€! The material it's made of isn't too jelly or soft, it's pretty solid piece of rubber-plastic and feels nice and not that cheap. I'm very, very pleased with this one!
undoubtedly the Trident he best case IMHO is the Trident Cyclops – a look at the car-driving-over-phone video here

I have leather flip case over one year now, protection is great but it is annoying to open the case every time I need to use the device. I’ve ordered Spigen Slim Armor this morning.
i got an otterbox commuter case so far it's pretty good. rugged but good looking
Got surprised with how well this case is made, it's plastic, rigid, and gives a nice sandstone oneplus one like feeling, also got a screen protector free. In my opinion, worth of money, it's slim also and scratch resistant (tried giving it a rub with my keys).

This is mine flip case, made by Teracell. Bought it at local store. Its really beautiful, but it has few bad sides.
- I don't like that it doesn't cover top and bottom edge of the phone
- It doesn't have a magnet for holding cover, so it usually stays open
- Its really small hole around flash and it makes flash bounce of it on pictures, making flash unusable

Cool case but won't work with the Verizon since it is a tad thicker because of the Qi Wireless Charging.
I've wandered around for selecting my beautiful phone, and now I need a protective case. Thinking about Spigen's cases but I dont know which one to choose- Slim Armor or Ultra Hybrid? Or another case? Thanks for your time.
Best to go with SGP Slimarmor
Been using it for a few month and hav dropped my phone like a lot of tmes....) still in a good shape=)
Tempered glass + SGP slimarmor is best choise to go=)

Got the ballistic urbanite and it's been great.
Not really fond of the backside that is glossy but it offers great protection against 6ft drop & good edge cover.
Also protects the screen AND has a cuttout for the IR Blaster!

Unicorn Beetle Heavy Duty Is the best one rn.
None, the HTC M8 has an aluminium body, it doesn't need a case only a proper screen protector and you're set to go. A replacement body costs $35 US from China, with free shipping, that's the price of a case.
AliExpress.com carries several colours as well, red, blue, black ...etc. And opening the M8 is probably one of the easiest things to do, two adhesive tabs and 4 screws.
This phone is very solid, I've dropped it several times, it has some scuffs but like I said, a very solid built phone.
The screen protector is key and if it wasn't for that I would have scratched my screen a couple times when I dropped it.
Pure Gear is the way to go for screen protectors.
I'm using Case-Mate
there're sale off at http://www.case-mate.com/collections/htc-one-m8-cases

I have spigen slim armor, and some 7eur tempered glass from ebay.......more then satisfied with it.
Once my phone fell on the concrete from like 5m (i was on a ledder), and the phone didn't suffer any damage at all, beside few scratches on the spigen case.

I have to second the Unicorn Beetle case. Mine is about a year and a half old, but I'm thinking of replacing it with a cleaner one instead of cleaning the one I have.
Slim armor is great but slippery for some. I have grey one, i think they now have black one in mate. I dropped my phone several times and nothing happened. Some drops were bad. I do however prefer UAG case
I have a Otterbox defender and can't go wrong with it.
I'm using the Dot View case, I haven't dropped it on pavement but it seems to do pretty well on carpeted office floors. Also, it's cool as hell.
SGP is good enough to protect M8. I use it and drop my phone 2 times

one of the easiest? M8 is one of the worst phones to take apart. an old galaxy and most non-unibody phones have a removable back panel to access the sim/sd/battery and require no tools and no time to replace.
i like the spigens personally for aesthetics and protection.
agreed on the screen protector unless you like to spend a couple hrs taking the entire phone apart. only other android phone i know of thats worse is a M7
Third vote for Unicorn Beetle. Less bulky than the Otterboxes, and has built in screen protector. Mine is also kind of dirty after 18 months of use, but photos are still good and there's no funny bubbles or anything between the screen and protector.
I'd honestly recommend a simple see-through gel or snap-on case. This phone has a beautiful design, and having a case like that will keep it slim, yet still show the elegant design while keeping it safe from dings and scratches. Pair that with a tempered glass screen protector and you're set.
Slim armour is a good case. Like someone said above the coloured ones are slippery but the black one is matte finish that looks and feels quite nice. They do add a bit of bulk but I have small girly hands.
I am currently using the Case-mate tough (http://www.amazon.com/Case-Mate-Tough-Case-HTC-One/dp/B00IZFYGO8) which I seem to go back to most of the time. I find it a bit less bulky than the Slim armour.
I have also used the Case mate naked tough (http://www.amazon.com/Case-Mate-Nak...1-1&keywords=htc+one+m8+case+mate+tough+naked) which I liked but it kept getting bits behind the case which detracted from the look for me.
Used both the white and black Case mate barley there which I used on my old HTC desire, but I find now that it doesn't really provide the protection I want.
Personally,i would like to share my experience,I am not worried about where to find the really cool case featuring logo any more until I came across a pretty useful blog at blog.onu-mall.com/?cat=5 filled with tons of useful publications including how to pick the right cell phone case by googling how to pick a quality cell phone case,tracking the blog,i was surprised by a online shop with huge selections of various affordable cool htc one m8 cases, i bought a really fashionable creative Sweet 3D Fruit Juice Cup Design Silicone Case at onu-mall.com/sweet-3d-fruit-juice-cup-design-silicone-case-for-htc-one-m8-one-2-green.html for HTC One M8 for my girlfriend,she is so impressed with the unique 3D fruit elegant and fashion juice cup design easy access to all buttons, controls and ports, allowing her to enjoy totally new visual experience, i am so happy making she surprising and would like to share the online store named ONU-MALL ONLINE STORE!
When searching for the right case for your smartphone, try to remember, useability over style. It will save you a lot of headache.
I get an Arielle case for the edge and this case has got the protection I needed for my phone. The past case I had was a standard hard black PLASTIC cover. Wasn't worth a darn. It chipped first time I dropped it and has really bad scraps. NOT WITH THIS CASE. The Arielle Galaxy case is quite different. I've already dropped and it held up just fine. The case is part plastic but feels like a rubber has been added. It's softer and flexible. You can bend it back and forth. Also you can twist it some. Phone fits perfect and just snaps in place. All the openings and buttons are correct and push smoothly. Wipes down easy with damp rag.
The color of case is an attractive teal. (I call it teal) it's for sure different than most phone case color choose I've seen. Then it has cut outs on it with the black from inside of case showing through that. It makes it look like leather stitching. Neat design the way it's been done. I do like the case and recommend purchase."

I'm looking for a really heavy-armored case because I'm really clumsy and I don't want my phone to suffer any damage.

I came across this one ( Armor King Metal Aluminium case ) and I love the aspect of it ( really looks awesome ) and from the reviews I read most people like it.
Anyone bought this ? I'm looking forward to buying it soon.
A flip case, pouch case or wallet case protects the screen from ever being cracked. I've owned a smartphone since 2003 and always used one of those 3 and never broke the screen, even before Gorilla Glass.
I bought se original Samsung flip case. One day later I accidentaly droppt the phone from a table -> display broken.
Now I'm using a rubber case.
Samsung Case
I think Caseology Wavelength Series Case is the good choice for Samsung S6 Edge
I bought a Ballistic Tough jacket case... still waiting for it to come, but yet on youtube it looks great and does what it should
I think Slim armor is a good case
1 vouch for the spigen thin fit case. Very comfortable to hold, great design, and it also provide protection for ur phone. yet very grippy.. but there is a draw back.. since it grippy. If u put the case on a dusty surface, it will pick up some dust.
I received a case for my S6 edge. When I opened this package I had no idea it was gonna be this phone case (the box is amazingly high quality and very well done). It resembles the packaging of a fancy bracelet/necklace - kudos on the box gus.
This is a very high quality samsung galaxy s6 edge case it fits the phone superbly all the cutouts are done very professionally all the buttons are in the right place.
I especially like the 2 in 1 it adds a bit of quality to the case the metal looks very classy it has the name turata embodied into the metal plate and four bolts in each corner.
Overall I am extremely impressed with this case from turata the quality is excellent it fits brilliantly what else fo you need.

I got the case yesterday and it fits perfectly!
Comfortable and cheap! Many on the net say it protected their phones...still haven't dropped mine.
This is my perfect case. I also tried the korean version which claimed made in korea on the pack/bag (in cheapo plastic pack)which faded off into yellowish very soon.

I went for this one - OtterBox SYMMETRY Cell Phone Case for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ - and was delighted to find it works with cordless charging (my previous Otterbox on the Note 4 didn't. (But don't buy a glass screen protector... the case cracked it! £18+ down the drain)
Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case
Hi.
I am using this case and after usage i find its very good. Its transparent so beauty of the phone can be seen. I am from India and I bought it from Amazon.
Its a must have transparent back case.

Do you find the otterbox symmetry bulky at all? I hate bulky cases but like the look of the Symmetry one and seems very slimmed down compared to the other otterbox cases
I'm looking for a slim case with reasonable protection... any recommendations?

I always go for the Spigen ultra hybrid. This time around I had an s6 edge in white and paired it with the gunmetal grey ultra hybrid and it's clear in the back, slim, but still offers all around protection

The best case I have come across so far is http://www.amazon.com/URBAN-ARMOR-GEAR-Samsung-Packaging/dp/B00TRG8KGY.
I am not a huge fan of the design aesthetic, but the case really does a great job. The other week, the case protected my edge from a really nasty drop onto concrete caused by a drunk idiot in a bar.
this is my case
