Roocase Exec Tough Review - Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories

First and foremost, this is the best case I have used for my Galaxy S6 Edge. I have had this case for a few days, and the only complaint sI have is the edges can sometimes be rough to the palm when holding the phone in portrait, and that the thickness of the case prevents the use of my wireless charger. The cutouts are all perfectly centered on the phone, and it has great lip protection around the screen. The mix of black and white accents looks stylish, and the metal buttons look and feel great. They don't stick out too far from the case, which is better at preventing accidental presses. There's really nothing else I can say about this case other than everyone should have this case.

Hi there Theaccomplice88! Thank you so much for your helpful feedback, it definitely helps us out in coming up with better designs for our future products as well as improve the designs that we currently have available, we appreciate it!
@NoFanboy,
To some, it may appear ugly. To some, it might just seem average. If anything, some may even say "Your last case was way hotter." But what matters are the insides. This case is tough. Exec tough to be exact. It marches onward into the world of peril and danger, knowing that no matter what, it's got you covered. It has your phones back. This case is reliable, and above all else, it has a great personality.
Roo-spectfully yours,
Bev

Good value leather-effect case (UK)

Got one of these recently and it's really nice for the price. Fits well and seems well made. Magnetic clasp and cutouts for the cameras etc. Currently £13.95 at mobilefun.co.uk.

I nearly bought one of these myself Paul but instead went for the Samsung Executive Case....... and I'm not happy with it.
Like the case you kindly mention I don't like the leather surrounding the glass surface. Much prefer the case where you 'click' the Tab into place rather than slide it in.
Any idea's which would be a good case?
I've only used the one above and (for a short while) the official Samsung case. Not the executive one though. It was the sleeve variant. I really didn't like it. Very hard to get the device in and out of as it was so tight. I'm happy with the one I got, though may try a TPU style cover at some point.

Yes I have the same issue with the Samsung Executive case, it's a right pain inserting and taking out of the case.
That looks very like the red one I recently got

Good case, but it does have tendency to let the tab slip out of the top if held upside down (while taking out of a bag, for example)

Hi Jon (hey we're neighbours ). That does look very like mine, apart from the colour. I've not had the problem with it slipping, it's a snug fit. Unlike the official case, which was a strangulated fit .
I see we also share the same taste in where you purchased it too.
I obtained my Samsung Executive case from LondonMagicStore.
Excellent service from them, have purchased quite a few items in the past and have their Black Gel Case Cover Stand on order as well.

[MOD] DIY TPU Bumper case for the G2x/O2x with Extended Battery

I just posted this in the G2x forums, but I figured you guys might find it useful as well...
I just got a 2800MAH Anker Extended battery from ebay, and unfortunately, my TPU case didn't fit over the extended case back. FatalityBoyZahy suggested that I cut the back of the TPU case off to make it fit, and this is what I did.
What you need:
Generic TPU Case
Xacto Knife/Some sort of Cutting Implement
Patience
Optional:
File
Match/Lighter/Some sort of small controlled flame
What I did was cut the back of the case, a little at a time, until it fit over my phone with the extended battery in. I ended up taking most of the back off before it fit.
I'm not that great with an Xacto, so the cut was bumpy and jaggedy. I used a file to even it out as best I could. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I wanted a clean edge. So, I used matches to melt the cut edge, and when it dried it was a clean, almost factory finish.

Final thoughts...
I think that It came out pretty well. One thing that I do notice is that the sides dont hug the phone like they used to... I think that this is because the profile is slightly different now and I left a decent amount of material. You could probably fix this if you cut a bit more. Its no big deal and you can still press all the buttons. From a distance, this seems like a manufactured case. You can only tell that it's diy'ed when you look at it from close up. Also, I think that using the file wasn't necessary because if you hold the flame there long enough you should be able to melt it down to be even. But don't hold the flame at one place too long... I had my case catch fire once
Cases are cheap, give it a shot :laugh:
how secure is the case imean it lowers the damage of a fall or it's just like look nice case ?

It fits pretty snugly on the phone, so it should be just as secure as using a tpu case (other than the exposed back of course). I haven't dropped it yet thankfully, but it fits on pretty tightly and wouldn't fall off or anything... I'm pretty pleased with how it came out!

Black Carbon Fiber Exoskin With Pictures

I bought the black carbon fiber exoshield skin for the Verizon LG G2. It cost a total of $17.79 shipped to me. The material is 3M carbon fiber, and the texture itself feels like good quality. Unfortunately it doesn't do anything to add grip to the phone, and I might even say that it actually feels a little more likely to slip out of my hand than the stock back. The skin itself is pretty easy to apply as the material allows multiple attempts to line it up perfectly and I feel like I have lined it up as perfectly as I possibly can. There is also a part that goes on the front which I chose not to put on. Unfortunately, it seems like there is just no way to line up and adhere the corners satisfactorily, it just seems impossible the edges stick up. Visually I am not really that picky, however every time I hold the phone, I can physically feel the corner edges of the skin against my hand, which bugs the crap out of me. Now I have heard that a blow dryer may help, so I will try to to get ahold of one to see if it helps, I will update if I see an improvement. As it is now at $18, I cannot recommend this skin unless you know that you wouldn't be bothered by this. I would however highly recommend the dizitronic case (which I also have) if you want some very good looking protection for your G2.
TL/DR I wouldn't recommend this skin because the back corners are extremely difficult, if not impossible to adhere and line up properly, the phone feels more slippery, it doesn't really offer much protection and its pretty expensive.
Note: the corners in Pictures 2 and 4, it looks like there's just no way to physically line them up, because the end material is rounded

I apologize for the quality, these pictures were taken from my retired Galaxy Nexus. I will update this if anything changes. Feel free to ask questions.

[Review] Ballistic Urbanite case pics and availability. I like it! :)

Ballistic Urbanite
No affiliation with any merchant, here is my honest opinion. I am in it for just the "thanks" and good conversation.
I have this same model case for my Note 4 and I absolutely love it so I was excited to find an LG G4 version. It is NOT available on Amazon, the best place to get is direct from the manufacturer. It shipped quickly:
https://www.goballisticcase.com/shop/lg/lg-g4/urbanite/
SIZE: Feels surprising slim. The hour glass shape make it quite narrow in the middle.
GRIP: Glossy surface is comfy to hold but it feels very secure to hold because of the case's waist curve.
PROTECTION: The corner bumpers are very pronounced and in effect make a large lip to protect the phone. Advertised as "6 foot drop tested" and I am inclined to believe it
DURABILITY: This MIGHT get cosmetic cracks if removed and replaced frequently. (Based on my Note 4 version). On the other hand those cracks were on that phone's narrow bridge between the side volume buttons and the camera. The LG 4 does not have side volume button thus no narrow bridge. That area looks to be much stronger. I really don't think this one will suffer from the cracks but I'll let you know. Please comment if you run into them.
INSTALLATION: Easy to put on and remove from phone.
EASE OF USE: The buttons are covered. The jury is still out on this but is seems to reduce the wonderful tactile feel of the naked phone's controls. I'll let you know if we get used to it.
APPEARANCE:The slick gloss surface makes it a bonnie little case. It does say "BALLISTIC" in dark grey on the lower part of the side but I don't think it is that obnoxious. It actually adds a little more grip to that part so it works functionally.

Do they make a holster for it?
Pffff when I have to protect a phone like this? I won't use a smartphone anymore....
All the looks of the phone is lost....

No they don't sell one.

Supcase Armband case for running/exercise

I picked up the Supcase armband case from Amazon since it has openings for all the features of the phone so you can still use it during a workout (Camera, audio jack, spen, fingerprint reader). The case material is a very thin flexible rubber but when put onto the phone actually feels pretty solid with a good fit. Due to how light this phone is, when attached to your arm it does not bounce around much at all though I thought it might initially. The strap loops through a slot in the back of the rubber case which could be a point of failure, but that doesn't seem to be much of an issue if the strap is tight enough since it really doesn't bounce around. Time will tell about the durability. I intend to mostly use it for biking so bouncing around is not as much of a concern than it would be for running (it really doesn't move much at all). I'll update after I give it a few rounds of use. Attached are pics.

My wife has this case for her LG G4. She like it a lot as it seems to be very reliable when she goes running everyday. She also likes the fact that you can use it as a case without the strap. She has the pink one.

Yeah forgot to mention that part but I'm probably going to stick to my other case for daily driver purposes. I grabbed this one since you can still use the fingerprint reader and I heard those other ones with the plastic film over the screen limit it's usage.

That's true. I had a few from amazon that hindered the scanner's use. Only case I found that doesn't but does have a protector is from Supcase that's also water resistant(not waterproof).
I love this armband. Just enough opening find fingerprint
