Best 'hard' case? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really like the snap on cases. I bought 3 off ebay, 2 arrived broken, one has a weird feel to it (all from china). Can yall recommended me a nice case for the phone? I really want a white case..

It isn't white but I can vouch for this wholeheartedly:
Capdase Alumor Metal Case

Damn, that thing looks sexy, will buy next pay check haha

Fits really well and looks nice and sleek. Adds little to no weight to the phone itself and I prefer the new size of the unit too once on, though it doesn't add a huge amount anyway.

Video Review of the Hybrid Case from Reiko

So I purchased the Reiko hybrid/kickstand case off of Amazon (you can also get on eBay... they run $8-15). I chose the white because I have a white note, but it comes in several other very attractive colors as well (including multi-colored versions like red and black).
Overall, I am very pleased and impressed with the quality, especially for the price. Highly recommended. Here's my video review:
Awesome video. I ordered one for my Note, but the Amazon reseller sent me a case for the SII instead. It seems like a nice case so I've ordered another one from eBay.
Thanks for the review!
You're welcome, glad I could help! Several other users on this forum have posted how pleased they are with this product as well so I'm sure you'll be satisfied with your purchase

Doesn't the rubber coating make it hard to take out of your pocket?
Thanks for the vid review! Looks interesting, although it seems to add quite a bit of thickness. Does it still fit in your front pocket pretty well or it is pretty bulky with the case on?
Yeh i have the same one, different color. I had the same one for the S II
Kickstand is a lil tricky to pop out
but protection wise, it has hi raised edges to protect again concrete or pavement slides
the rubber feel provides excellent grip
it does make the Note a tad bit thicker but i can manage it
cheap price too (got from amazon)
Is that all white tough to keep clean? especially the rubber portion

Ouch. Almost $28.00. Not Sure I like them. From the pic, it makes tablet bulky. ?

Hey confused, I think it depends on what you are looking for.
Yeah, it adds a little thickness, because it is not a "skin". I got it 'cause it is heavy duty drop protection. I love it. I think it gives me better protection than my [big name] drop case, and it was about half the price. And I don't lost the sensitivity of my screen like I did with my other one, cause this one fits with my own screen protector. So my big-name case is going on ebay after trying this one.
If you just want a decorative skin, go for something else, like a "skinit" or a "decalgirl". If you want something to protect your TF, this is the best one I have tried. Since my TF300 does not have gorilla glass, I got this for when the grandkids are using my TF.
I received mine a couple of days ago. Love it.

haha. Not sure why I put consufed smiley. lol. I guess. I personally like no case at all but once in a while my daughter uses it. that's not the case no more since I a smaller tablet (tab 2) for her.
Here's mine. All the buttons and slots are perfectly accessible. Fit's nice and snug and feels good in the hands.
My only gripe is the red is a bit on the pinker side then I would like [picture below looks really pink... it's a little more actual red to my eyes in person]. Gonna order a black one in the future.

Thank you for posting the screenshot. I thought it might be flimsy around the edges but it looks like it hugs the device tightly. I ordered one. Should come in the mail today.:good:
No offence but it looks fugly
I Just got mine (black) and its nice. Its thick around the bezel maybe 1/2 inch but its really not bad. It fits snug and does add some weight.all the openings lines up perfect. I like it better than the folding cases, this and a screen protector and your good to go. I dont think it matters what case you have, if you drop your tablet your screwed. But this will prevent scratches and dings for sure
Yesterday my grey one was delivered too. I like it a lot. Finaly i have a good grip on the tablet now. Did you all notice the strap on the back where you can put in your hand so you even have more grip? Very nifty! :good:

[Pouch case] Mediadevil Artisan Pouc

Hello folks,
Just want you to know that Mediadevil has released their Artisan Pouch for our G3. If you don't know this article, here's the link:
http://mediadevil.com/eu/artisanpouch-leather-pouch-case-lg-g3.html
I have this pouch for my Nexus 5 and I have to say that it's the finest case I've ever seen. Great quality at not so big price, it fits perfectly and protect borders and screen from drops, and you can use your phone naked (I am esthetically offended by these otterbox and slim armours-slim????)
I was firstly surprised with the quality of the case where the pouch came when I ordered. It says that you are buying a high quality product, not some of that chinese clones that you find in ebay. Next month I'll purchase one for sure.
Let me know what you think about this.
Rgds
I like but never liked pouches unless you have screen protector and body armor on phone cause it gets scratched
Looks good, but I wouldn't want to slide my phone in and out all day.
Using a pouch seems so.. counter-intuitive. Even a flip case is easier to access the phone with
I'm looking for one, but that's quite expensive
I like pouches; protect your phone in the pocket and no ugly cases when in use. I'm looking for one for the G3 but the mediadevil looks so cheap with the creased leather, not a good look especially at £20! are there any alternatives that look better and are cheaper?

Carved - real wood cases

Hi everybody.
I love Carved cases (http://www.carved.com/)
I bought few of them for my friends but never owned one. I was looking forward to buying one for my new Pixel and finally Carved opened the pre-orders.
BUT
They are releasing only "Traveler" model, which is a bulkier version of their case. They are not going to release "Slim" model, which I always buy...
Does anyone getting the Traveler? Have anyone had the expirience with the Traveler before?
I really love the design of their cases but I don't want bulkier case, even the fact that Traveler doesn't have the cutouts for power and volume buttons pisses me off (Slim had the cutouts for buttons)
Sharing your expirience is much appreciated
I really like those Satellite cases. Hopefully they make them available for the Pixels.
I always get Carved cases for my phone but I find that it usually takes less than a month for me to crack the slim cases. The traveller case is rubberized and can handle a little bit more without cracking.

Have you ordered one for pixel?
My GF's slim case survived one year just fine even though she can be clumsy. However the one that we bought for her Mom cracked twice during two weeks proving your statement))
How do you like traveller case overall? How bulky it is compared to Slim?
They only just made them available for the pixel but I immediately ordered one. I'll post something about it when I get it (if I remember) but it might take a little longer since I'm up here in Canuckleland. I've only ever had the slim cases since that's all they had available for my Nexus 6 but I got my girlfriend a traveler case for her iPhone and I was extremely jealous. The traveler isn't much bulkier than the slim case, but like I said, it's rubberized so it won't crack like the slim case. I'd liken it in size to the lighter, commuter otter boxes... Maybe a little thinner, it's hard to say.
I'm a guy who likes to minimize the bulkiness of my phone and I can't wait to get my custom Carved traveler case!

Will look forward to your review thanks
Just got my new Carved case for my Pixel. As you can tell from the "New member" tag under my name, I'm new here and can't figure out how to post pictures at the moment. However, in short, the case is fantastic. I got a mahogany custom traveller case. I will say that it somehow doesn't quite feel as "premium" as other cases, but that's just referring to the plastic/rubber part, the woodwork is phenomenal, I think this might just be because it's new and I'm not used to the feel of it yet. If you've ever had one of their cases before though, you'll likely know what I mean. It's not noticeably different in size than my Spigen Liquid Crystal and it's got good grip around the edges. The only criticism that I have for it is that the power and volume buttons on the side are barely raised and it's hard to feel them out when I'm not looking at the phone.
Overall though, I would highly recommend it. It's a great case and I'm glad I got it. The customization options are great... to be honest, it's hard to find the words to recommend the case enough, I love it. Carved makes an exceptional product
I regret what I said about it feeling premium. I lurvs this case.
Here we go

That's nice!
I decided to skip at least for now as I already purchased two cases and don't wanna spend more yet. Also I unfortunately have white pixel and it won't be as good as black with traveller case.
However, if they out more great designs by artists, I might jump on one
These guys are running a pretty nice Cyber Monday Deal - 25% most cases, $10 the custom SATELLITE case. FREE screen protector with every case purchase. I'm in for one SATELLITE.
I ended up ordering one of their "map" custom cases, which is quite expensive I must say, but I am very excited because the case will display a very important place to me will update with the photos when it arrives (closer to Christmas)
I ordered one of their custom satalite cases and it's really nice. Very unique looking. The lip is good and should protect the screen. It's also not too bulky of a case. Each case is unique and made in Indiana. Very cool.

Sorry for the delay. Posting the pictures of my custom map case. I like the design, but as I expected it is bulkier than I would like it to be. I would be much happier with slim case if carved made it...

Samsung official leather case is a joke!!

I never should of used $50 of my credit for it. It looks like plastic and doesnt even hide camera bump. No protection. Lesson learned.

I have the leather case and think it's great. Mine extends past the camera bump so if you lay it down flat the camera's protected. Mine came from the EU but I can't imagine the U.S. version is any different. Mine looks leathery enough for what I paid. Different strokes.

umm idk what leather case your talking about because it cant be the same leather case i got because mines fits perfectly and feels good to hold like leather should.
I got the leather black case and I like it. It is not protecting well the camera i.e. ideally the case should stick out a tiny bit but is hiding the bump well. On the front it does better job. The feel is very good and leather.
I have the plastic rubbery blue case too and it protects better the camera module but may be a bit worse job in the front.
I got the OtterBox Defender Pro with Holster. $60 after 10 bucks off promo. Probably best protection out there. First day I got phone it was knocked off table at work and fell 3 feet to a concrete floor. Not a scratch, ding or crack. Even the case was perfect. Bet those leather cases Samsung sells won't save your phone under similar circumstances.
I got the leather case with my pre-order and immediately returned it. It was a plastic piece of crap! Didn't feel like leather at all! Felt like plastic with a leather pattern. Was super slippery and not what i was looking for at all! The even crappier thing is the case was $50 worth of credit, but when I returned it, they only gave me $15. WTF!!
While it's really a matter of personal opinion about these matters, my biggest gripe about the case (as with the Apple leather case) is the price. If it were a more reasonable $29, I'd say it's great. It's not really a protective case at all as these go. Black is the only one that will look good over time as the lighter colors will garnish a patina appearance that some may be OK with, like leather gloves as they break in.
This phone has a large, protruding camera bump unlike any other device and presents a challenge to design a case that can adequately protect it and not feel like a brick! Imagine if they made the entire phone thick enough to house (the camera hardware) and have the camera aperture window assembly perfectly flush? 8000mAh battery anyone?
Of course the "anti thicc" crowd would be quite vocal about it.
