There two different Cases, the Active case & Surface case.
Does anyone have any of the two? I'd like some thoughts about the cases
because I'm most likely to jump into one of these cases, since I think ballistic
cases are too big & bulky but I had the infuse 4g so that had something to
do with it too =P
-Edit-
Seido Holster case
Here's an even better case, it's almost the same price, and it comes with a kickstand.. i wish i saw this before i purchased the pt holster case ):
I got the Seidio Surface.
Very beautiful case. Its very thin, believe its just 1mm thick.
Feels very nice to the touch, easy to put on... easy to take out.
Nice access to all buttons.
However, since its so thin and all that stuff, not sure its good for protection. Probably just minor? I got it more for aesthetics reasons because I love that sapphire blue.
However, still offers some protection over not having a case, but obviously less than a more bulky case like my old Case-Mate Pop.
Basically, everything about the surface feels and looks nice.
Thank you! I want to get the Surface one too because I mainly just want the holster.. the case is just an added bonus lol.. the fact that it looks very simple and doesn't add too much bulk is a plus to me too
Just an FYI, but Best Buy sells the exact same case as the Surface Combo. It is branded for Best Buy but it is the same. It is an excellent case IMO.
Hey thanks for the heads up.. i did check into it and saw how similar they both are.. i might just end up buying it since shipping might take a while. Thank you

Just got the platinum series with holster from bestbuy. Its a great case, does not add too much bulk. The front edges are slim so it does not interfere when you slide your fingers. And I got it for 30 dollars it was initially 35 but if you get a best buy rewards card they will do a 20% discount
I agree its a really nice case

I have the surface case with kickstand and holster combo like the one in the ebay link above. Just two nights ago i dropped my thrill out of my truck window doing 55mph and it only scratched the corners of the whole case and around the kickstand. i had just got the phone replaced due a manufacturing defect so i thought i was screwed and just destroyed my phone. thankfully it is still in mint condition because of the case.
I've been searching all around for a decent case for my new phone. I want something that will give it minor drop protection, isn't bulky and doesn't look ugly. Locally I don't have much of a selection but the two I've been looking at are the adreama case and the incipio feather case. Does anyone have any suggestions or have tried either of those cases?
I have the incipio feather. I bought it only so I could lay my phone down without fear of scratching my camera or backplate. It offers little to no drop protection. But can barely tell its there if you like a minimalist approach.
I have a rocketfish case I got at best buy. I was looking for exactly the same thing you are. It's a rubbery case but the outside is hard coated, as are the edges so it doesn't stretch or stick. It's all black and molds to the phone. I really love mine.

Any cheap TPU case will do. Can't see myself plopping over 10$ for a case, and definitely don't like the so said protection of "hard" cases they sell just about everywhere. Next thing you know the case blows into 1 billion tiny pieces or just breaks away from your phone at the most minor drop.
This from SGP is very nice, and comes with a first rate screen protector.
http://www.sgpstore.com/sgp-google-nexus-s-case-ultra-silke-series.html.
I just bought this one:
http://goo.gl/fktZi
Very happy with it. Makes the phone feel very solid. It does add some bulkiness, but it's worth it because the case feels great to hold.
This is the one I use, I have had it on it since day one. Reminds me of an otterbox, but half the price and not nearly as bulky.
Bump for Incipio, have one in blue, one in teal and its subdued. Does offer protection, least bulk I could find and love it.
Thanks for everyones responses, I think I'm going to settle on the Feather case. One more question, is it necessary to have a screen protector? I'm generally pretty safe with screens, I managed to have all of my iPod screens live without a scratch so far but I'm not sure how much this screen will be able to manage.
I have the Incipio thin feather case. Its as low as $16.95 on Ebay and is super thin, sexy, and sleek. Just be prepared to beat women off of you. They come runnin'. lol
Google Nexus S Pop! Cases
This case is a great addition to my Sprint Nexus - S. It was very easy to put the phone in the case basically just running one's thumbnail around the edge will make sure the phone is in tight and well sealed.
The case 'elevates' the phone's glass off of a surface when placing the phone face down. Plus, the rubber edge makes a nice satisfying and 'rubbery' thunk, and you know it just won't slide around!

I had a TPU case and then got the Rearth Ringke case, and the Ringke case is much better. Retains thinness of the phone, looks sleek and feels great in the hands. Worth looking into.
Incipio Feather is awesome. I'm less worried about protection and more worried about how slippery this phone is. The case gives it grip and looks alright too.
i have this one on for the past 8 months.. its a beautiful case that hardly adds any bulk to the phone... and its 4 bucks

+1 for incipio feather. Just picked myself up one.. won't offer much drop protection but it's a sleek slim case.
I have never been one for cases, but I purchased the Incipio Feather and I haven't had the need to take it off. Love the damn thing.
Hope that helps.
another +1 for incipio feather. just got mine yesterday, great case. and i think it would actually offer some drop protection, at least if it landed on a corner or back.
if you need to access the back of the phone frequently though, to change battery or sim, forget this case. it fits really really well, and would be a pain to take off all the time imho.

Ringke is great until the soft touch rubs off and it starts sticking in your pocket and collecting lint.

A screen protector is a must have, there are no arguments against it.
You can get already 3 protectors in high quality for 1.77$!
And im not a fan of any case, smartphones are thick enough and you take it off after a while anyways.
My sister got one HTC One M8 case one month ago. She really love it,it's awesome fast.Her birthday is coming, i consider buy one phone case for her because i always hearing her complaining about the slippery metal case.
I looked through many cases and chose 3 cases from 3 different shops. My final choice based on Price,Quality,Slippery Resistant. Now i am confused ... Guys，what is your opinion，which one would be best gifts? (PS: MY SISTER LOVES CARTOON)
Adventure Time Custom Hard Plastic Case! http://www.casecoco.com/shop/adventure-time-htc-one-m8-cases-8734-165

The Adventure Time one is too cool.
Cases
I got the Carbon Fiber on and it is junk. No protection for screen as it has not lip on front. I also think it caused a scratch near the screen as it is hard plastic. It is also hard to get off once it is on.
I just got the Spigen clear case off of Amazon and it is great. Good protection without too much bulk. Clear also shows the nice aluminum back of the phone. Came in around $17.00 with shipping. Highly recommend.

I don't wanna derail this discussion too much, but I was kinda interested in that Carbon Fiber one. I don't care about protection really, I just want something for grip. Is it grippy or is the carbon fibre look just for show? Also on the pictures it looks kinda thick (looking at the area around the main camera)..can you confirm this? Thanks

It is hard plastic. It is not too thick and the sides are prettty thin. It is probably better grip than naked.
Again, I would not recommend as I feel it scratched the phone. I thought the screeen glass was scraped but I think it is the gasket between the phone and glass. It is a very tight fit and the plastic has very little give.
There are many other cases out there so I would recommend staying away from this one.

Go for the Bear Motion Sand case.
http://www.amazon.com/Bear-Motion-H...280&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=bear+motion+sand+m8
Not much in the way of protection for the screen as there is barely any lip, but it makes the phone soooo much easier to hold. Its only like $7 bucks on Amazon. Its super grippy since it has a sandpaper-y type texture on the back. Feels and looks great.
Get the unicorn beetle supcase. The design of this phone is what separates it from the rest and I just cannot understand why one would want to put it in a case that will cover up the beautiful metal back of the phone. I have the supcase and love it.
PROS:
1) Good fit. Case fits phone like a bodysuit yet still allows for easy removal due to the softer and flexible rubber material around the lips.
2) Good quality. All cutouts(including the one for the tiny mic on the back) are precise and spot on.
3) IR Blaster feature on phone works with this case.
4) Case does not make phone look bulky. Phone still looks thin and sleek even with the case on.
5) Good value and great case for the price.
CONS:
Back is frosted/opaque, not clear but still allows the back to show through.
I think so
Your words are quite useful!!!But i still want to ask if they have supcase central part is clear ?

Completely agree..however, was thinking of getting one of these wireless charging pads for the phone..the spigen clear case I currently have would look real ugly with the ccharging coil showing.. same goes for the suoacase, otherwise, it looks quite nice.
One more question!

Clear Supcase
First one would be best,more choice and more surprise
Loving those adventure time cases (I'm a fan myself haha). Definitely get one of those for your sister!
So have you made the final decision? if not, i recommend the wallet case cover. it can protect your sister's whole phone,both the back and the screen.:good:
M8 Case with stand
I bought one M8 Duo Armor GREEN for HTC One (M8) Combo Case with Stand and Holster from Amazon. The case protects my phone well, easy to grip and can stand on desktop for video watching. The case is quite multifunctional. And only sell $7.94.::good:
The Otter Box is the best case for the phone.
Fait Accompli
HTC one m8 Cases
When you are buying phone HTC one m8 they usually offer you the dot view case at the ATT, but the price is little too high, so I got some good and I would say cheap deal on Casezz.com and shipping is free.
Best Case
That SUPCASE on Amazon looks pretty sweet.. It has a ton of positive reviews as well.
My vote goes to the SUPCASE but if your sister likes cartoons one from the first link has got to be the way to go for kudos.
Hello,
I'm looking for high quality silicone case for my Nexus 5X, any like this one for Iphone http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MKY02ZM/A/iphone-6s-silicone-case-charcoal-gray?fnode=99
This case feels great in your hand, not as noname cheap alternatives.
Do you have any tips? Thanks!
TPU case is great,why must silicone?TPU cases are more available.
Try this.

I have it, and love it. best case I've ever owned from the perspective of slim and light. It is NOT going to have quite the premium feel of that matte silicone iPhone case, but keep in mind it's also not $35+. I got mine for like $9 shipped. It's soft, but has a bit more of a soft plastic feel (it's still incredibly flexible and soft) than the silicone case will. still, it's a really solid case and one i plan to keep as long as possible. i like that you get a really good feel for the volume and power keys on the side, and, even though they dont advertise this well, there are thin textured "grippy" areas on the bottom half of the sides of the case, which really help with grip. overall, this case was exactly what I was looking for, and I'd recommend it.

I too am looking for a Nexus 5x case that compares to the Apple silicone cases. Have you had any luck yet? Everything I find just doesn't feel the same or as nice. Would really like to find a silicone case for my Nexus 5x that feels like the Apple case!
Same here! I'm looking for that same iphone-ish case: please let me know if everyone succeed finding it!
I know many opt for UAG or Spigen but this Envoy series by Caseology grabbed my attention (This is someone who previously hated cases) but have ordered this and due to arrive shortly.....
Will still grab some Dbrand skins but think I may grow to enjoy this one....
What are your views on this series? and has anyone else purchased?
Waiting for your opinion
i got the blue and gold one for my gold edge, its nice. main case is uag which is on 90% of the time
Wife has one of these on her Note 5. Great case overall, main issue I have with it is bulk, it will make the phone feel much bigger/bulkier. But the feel and quality and fit are excellent.

Really like this case the in hand feel is great and looks good to. Wouldn't say it's the best case out there for extreme protection (this is general protection designer type case.
Can't fault it as it is what it is and overall I like...but if you want that extreme protection this one is not it...
The fit is great in term of alignment of cut outs but in terms of tight fit (it's not ) I think this is due to the plastic bumper rather than metal the.
Overall score 7/10
nice good case though
