Can you guys give me any recommendations on any good strong cases and screen protectors, that will stay on even if they are dropped. A link to the website would be good also. I was thinking of getting a screen protector that is like a mirror, where you can see yourself when the phone is not on.
Thanks a lot!
In my opinion, the otterbox is the best. theres a whole thread in this section about them. I've had mine for a while and its held up pretty well. I dropped it twice already and nothing happened to the phone or case. The case didn't even come apart at all.
here is a link to the case
http://www.otterbox.com/mytouch-3g-slide-cases/mytouch-3g-slide-cases,default,sc.html
just got my otterbox today. FREAKING LOVE IT.
You don't get that sound from the case moving around while you're holding your phone.
It's really snug, thinner than other cases. And it's tough.

Yup. Otterbox +1. My wife bought the Body Glove type one from T-mo 2 days after she got her slide and lost the front cover 2 days after that. The Otterbox uses thinner but slightly bigger tabs with better plastic. The tabs don't inhibit the slide action as much, grip better because of the larger surface area, and are stronger because the plastic isn't as brittle.
The only downside is that it was a little bit harder to put on than the Body Glove one, but it only took a few minutes of being patient and attentive to detail.
Body Glove Kickstand Case - deceased
I had the Body Glove case w/kickstand on my phone... it worked well for me until I needed to open up my back cover. One removal was all it took and one of the tabs was gone. I took my time and was gentle with it as well.. the tab just seemed a little too brittle for any removal/reinstall once it was initially installed. I don't have a case on it now, but am interested in the Otterbox one that seems pretty highly praised.

With the otterbox I only had to take it off a couple times, the battery door came with it instead lol. I have no idea how to take it off without feeling like I'm breaking the phone.
I just got my Otterbox case yesterday. I like it, sturdy and durable. I bought it from Amazon for a nice price. I just don't understand why phone cases don't have clips or something to put them on your waist. I don't put phones in my pockets much since I usually have stuff in them.
I might have to get a OtterBox now... The only thing keeping me is a case makes it feel quite bulky. If I can get passed that then I'm sold after hearing so much praise about the OtterBox.

Yeah that's the only thing.
But Otterbox is the only hard case that doesn't come off when I drop the phone. So I loveeeee it.

I'm not a big fan of mirrored screen protectors. From what I've seen, they really alter the way the screen looks when it's actually on, and I don't think it's worth the mirror effect. There may be some which do not do this, but I'm yet to see one.
are there any mirror/reflective/chrome style cases, skins, covers, anything like that for the slide?
I use a black fish bone case that I got off of amazon it legit

I have a mirrored screen protector and it really does alter the refraction of colors. It is not unbarable, but I have ordered a clear one. An added note: the mirrored screen protector requires you to brighten your display more and thus use more battery. If you still want a mirrored protector go to wirelessemporium.com. like 6 bucks and free shipping.

thats for the herald not the wing... as silly as it soundsi use the lil mirror thingy time to time..
I have this one:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/armorcase/armor-case-t-mobile-wing_2710.htm
It is awesome, very sturdy and you can still use the phone's buttons. It has the proper cutout for the mirror and also opens in the correct direction to make the keyboard usable with the case still on (unlike some of the cheaper ones).
Build quality is tight and the neoprene liner holds the phone firmly in the case so it won't drop out. The case is light but adds a little bulk to the phone, it's still the slimmest option for pocket carry and could take a hard shot from a turnstyle or counter with no problem.
Definitely cheaper than a replacement lcd!
Hope that helps =)

$12 for the wing full-body is a decent deal, I'm just not sure how it will stick to the rubberized case of the wing and it does not give any crush/crack protection.
Either way I'm probably gonna get a screen protector
the one on daydeal does have a screen cover i emailed and asked. lol
hahaha, you gotta ask these days
Give it a shot, it's probably made by the same factory
wouldn't the protective cover over the screen keep you from using the touchscreen?

yes thats why its a flip open case
for eazy access to the screen
in your logic a armor case would also prevent some one from opening the phone to the keyboard
same thing it flips open
So did it come yet? I'm curious to hear how the build quality/tightness of lockup etc. to see if I paid an extra $14 for a boxwave sticker =)
im having issues with my creditcard and inturn paypal also..
havnt resolved it yet so i am with out a case
with that said my friend got the plastic body case for the phone and it was pretty much feeling lol
i have this case, nice fit, the matte metal is pretty slippery and it has slipped out of my hands a couple of times. one time the case popped open when it hit the pavement. also, when you drop it, the case will get silver nicks all over it. it is pretty strong, but will deform a little when you drop it, you can kinda bend and reshape the case to good as new. case also dents if it lands squarely on a corner.

After reading hundreds of forum posts, watching many youtube reviews, and spending hours of silent contemplation with Buddhist monks, I still can not decide between the Otterbox Commuter, Seidio Active, and the Incipio Silicrylic. They all seem fairly similar, with a few key differences, and since I know many of you have owned at least one of these, I could use your input.
First and foremost the reason I am buying the case is to improve the function of the power and volume buttons. In fact, I switched back to the standard battery from the extended because none of the cases I could find really addressed those button issues. I'm sure they all do a sufficient job of protection, so my main concerns are fit and button improvement.
The otterbox and the incipio clearly show protruded buttons that would appear to help with that situation. Can anyone comment on the seidio's buttons? Also, the incipio seems like its a bit loose. Having held an iPhone with the case on, it didnt feel snug at all. This seems to be the case ( ) with the Rez as well.
In terms of looks, I like the OB the best, but it also seems the bulkiest and I'm not so sure about the port covers. As for the seidio, I've read about peeling finish on the back cover. I'm not sure anyone's had it long enough to have experienced it, but I AM hoping you can weigh in on the camera. The lens looks restricted by the back cover.
The last factor I'm using to decide between the three is the lip around the screen. It should be big enough to protect the screen from a faceplant, but I'm also worried about it restricting the use of the screen toward the edges.
I appreciate any input you have, and I'm hoping others find this information useful in making a decision.

My vote is Seido. I've owned the Otterbox, but not Incipio. As far as quality of the holster, nothing compares to the Seido. Just stronger and seems to last forever. The buttons are easier to use on the Seido than the Otterbox. The Otterbox is slightly less bulky, but it's negligible at best. I have 2 Seidos, one red and one blue. I have yet to experience any peeling from the plastic. I've thrown it in bags, stuffed it in pockets. It just seems to hold up nicely. The lip is nice on the Seido. It's about the same as on the Otterbox but it doesn't inhibit use of the screen like the Otterbox can. The Seido is made really well where you can actually push the rubber aside if you need to get really far over. I was actually afraid that this would stretch the rubber, but this thing has been solid and hasn't stretched at all. I can't say the same about my Otterbox.
Both are amazing cases. I think the Seido looks a lot better once you add in the different colors. The blue is gorgeous and the red matches the phone perfectly. Neither the Otter or the Seido do anything to inhibit the camera. But I would still go with the Seido based on build quality of the clip/holster and the quality of the case itself. Just my 2 cents. Buy it, you won't regret it.
EDIT: I also change my case every day, so it's gone through some serious tests for me. Every time I put my Seido back on, it's like the first time I got it. The plastic is just super strong and the rubber won't stretch. Seriously, I'll never buy another brand of case again if I can help it. (And no, I don't work for Seido )
EDIT 2: Here is my review of a few cases including the Seido Active and the Otterbox. This was before I purchased the clip for the Otterbox, but you get the idea.
And here are some pics of the red one.

+ 1.
The buttons are actually easier to use with the case than without it.
No issues with the camera lens
Great feel. Not too bulky and a solid, tight fit. I have all the confidence in the world that the phone would be protected if I dropped it.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
I'm the opposite if the first reply, had the otterbox, upgraded to the incipio. To me the otterbox was too slick and way too big. It made the rezound bigger than my wife's thunderbolt with an incipio. I do like the port covers on otter box, but I also like to use a car dock, and you can't have both!
The incipio has been great over the two months I've had it. I would reccoment it. On an off easily, and it looks nice. The screen protector doesn't have cut outs for the camera or light sensor (which has no impact for me) but is very robust.
There is a little bit of a stretching if the silicon layer for me, but I use a really tight arm band for running and it pulls on it pretty bad. I don't think it would be the case if I didn't abuse it like that.
You should probably just buy both!

Thanks for the quick responses.
Wasabi I almost just PMd you my questions, what with your previous reviews and all (badass wallpaper, btw), but I thought there might be more people asking the same questions. You mentioned that the power button was still flush. Would you say that its about the same functionality as naked, or better? Like I said...thats basically my #1 concern. Also the camera cutout looks way better in your pics than it does on the Seidio website.
Also Jive, a guy at work said the plastic of his Incipio was really brittle. I told him better that plastic than the phone, but have you noticed any cracking or chipping?
seidio active is the way to go. The incipio case is garbage. It cracked the first time I went to put it on. The otter box is just huge and far too bulky. I'm sure its a good case, I don't have it but my brother in law does. Sometimes the silicon part slips a bit near the top, its like they didn't make a proper fitting mold. I personally think the seidio is the best looking of all of them too. I don't have the seidio case because I use the extended case or I would use it.

Thanks..I had that wallpaper forever The power button is flush, yes, but there's like a cutout for it. I'll post a pic in a second. It's much easier to press than without the case. The volume buttons are muuuuuch easier. So power button naked would be like a 5/10 for ease of use. With the case it's 7.5/10. Volume buttons are like 4/10 naked. With the case they're easily 10/10. And yes, there's no obstruction of the camera with the case. I love this case. It's easily the best one I've purchased for any phone, and I'm kind of a case freak.
EDIT: Here are the pics. You can see what I mean by flush. It doesn't protrude like the volume buttons. But it does have the nice cutout so it's very easy to push. And ignore how dirty the phone is. lol
EDIT 2: You need anymore pics or anything, just let me know. About to leave in a minute, but I'll be back later and can take some different angles if you need me to.
I'm right with Wasabi on this. Had the Seidio since the week it came out. The rating that Wasabi put on the buttons is pretty much spot on. They don't protrude, but make the buttons a lot easier to manipulate than naked. The fit is nice and it looks great on the phone. The lip on the front is perfect for protecting the screen. I have had it get in the way trying to place letters on the very edge while playing words. It will stretch out of the way and springs right back in to place though. I haven't had any peeling or anything on the back. I have noticed the edges of the silicon getting a little glossy. This is to be expected though since I take it in and out of my pocket a thousand times a day! Best case I've had on a phone.
wow, looks like I'm getting the Seidio. Thanks for the help!
Good call on getting the seido, I have the white one and I love it!

Just remember with any of these cases and the camera, you will lose all of your low light capability. The flash ports aren't setup properly so you will have white half images.

Umm, what? Do you own the Seido or Otterbox Commuter case? I've never had any issue with the flash or photos in general ever. What are you talking about?
Never had any picture issues. Flash works fine.
Another +1
No issues at all with the camera.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
Just throwing my weight behind the Seidio. I have the gray on gray Incipio and it is definitely looser. (Anyone want to buy it?)
Actually, my favorite is the Seidio Surface (because it will slide into a side leather pouch), but if you're looking for more protection, go Seidio Active. It goes in and out of the holster quite nicely as well.

If you know how big the Otterbox Commuter is, I'll post a pic of the Commuter next to the Active for you. They're closer in size than the Defender and Active are.
Looks like Otterbox just needs a phone to put in their just posted case.
Can't wait!
Saw one at Radio Shack 2 days ago and bought it. Waiting for the phone to go along with it. Me thinks it will be very soon, brand new Rezounds retail are down $100.00 on Ebay from just a couple of days ago.

Here are some pictures of it, and ones comparing it to my mom's Razr with a Case-mate case on it in my previous post.
I've commented on the otterbox defender series case before. I've got one on my Dinc. Yes the defender series will bulk it up, with the outer hardshell and clip but guess it depends on your lifestyle. I'm a mechanic so I need something that can withstand getting dropped or inadvertantly laid on, etc.
The defender is like a brick **** house, it just doesn't get any better protection wise. The nice thing about it, is if I take the phone all the way out to just it's core size without all the protection, and wipe it down, you wouldn't know this phone was not brand new, it's mint condition, thanks to the otterbox, and it has been dropped on the otterbox at least 5 times.
The commuter series would be a lot smaller profile if that's what you are looking for....
I'm glad to see OB has their act together on this and released a case for it, it actually took them a while to release one for the og Dinc..

I bought the Commuter, and the fit was horrible. The hard plastic outer shell didn't securely clamp to the soft rubber inner cover, and that inner cover did not fit the phone securely. The port covers didn't lay flat either. I bought an incipio silicrylic case and it fits much better.
Wow, I really like that Incipio case, holy cow. You have anything that can take pictures of it on the phone? Would really like to see some real world pics. How soft is the inside layer? Would it be ok sliding in and out of a pocket or would it "grab" or rip over time?
It doesn't look any different than from the website. Slides into and out of pockets just fine, and I don't think it will wear over time. The included screen protector is way better than the one OtterBox packages with their case, it covers the entire front glass panel.

I agree! I just got my Otterbox case in on Saturday and the fit is really bad. I have a hard time pushing the power and volume button, the rubber over top of the front camera does not lay flat, the bottom end below the soft keys does not hug the phone(kind of protrudes out), the screen protector does not cover the whole screen, and the headphones port cover does fit very well into the hard shell.
I'm very disappointed in this case and will try and return it.
I'm not a big fan of otterbox because it's too big for me. :silly: But, if I don't find that many cases, I might have to buy this one. haha
i just got me an otter box defender, and its awesome, fits perfect, it makes the phone.has it's own screen cover too.

boy they must have given you the wrong one, mine is nothing like you discribe
I haven't used an otterbox on the Inc4, but we've got a fleet of iPhones for our salesmen at work. Every single one is in an otterbox Defender series, and trust me when i say our salesmen are extremely hard on phones. These cases have probably saved us hundreds of dollars no question.
The point of my post however is if you get one that doesn't fit quite right though i would ask for a replacement. When i was setting up all the phones and putting them into there cases i did run into a few that just didn't sit right. Looked like a manufacturing defect to me, but i was able to get replacements. That might be the issue your running into.
Void4ever
Edit: The Defender series WILL absolutely bulk up the phone though, but if you need the protection you'll find none better. I have no exp with the Commuters personally, but from the pics the size looks good.

Naaa bud, I don't have the Inc4g yet, I've got my original Dinc sealed up in the defender series.
To the latest posters, as I mentioned in my post earlier as well, I have no experience with the commuter series OB but I did have two defender series OB's that cracked a small portion of the clip/case. I think it's a weak link in the design of the case and the snapping/unsnapping of the phone in/out of the case over time that caused this. But OB themselves, have been absolutely stellar to deal with, they looked up my purchase date, no questions, shipped out new cases to me each time.
I'd call em up tell em, and maybe they sent the wrong case, maybe you got a design flaw on yours, who knows but if some of the folks using the commuter case have posted awesome fit and look, that just don't jibe with what your reaction is to your case...
I went to radio shack to try out the otterbox commuter and the defender.
The commuter was unimpressive. The fit was loose even after much working of the acrylic over the silicone to have it get into the right place. The top part that hangs over the front facing camera is kind of flappy and I can see a lot of dust getting in there. The screen protector doesn't cover up under the loose area either. The bottom part of the case barely hangs on to the bottom of the phone, not tight at all.
The defender was completely opposite, the defender was a great fit. It felt sturdy, durable and overall just comfortable (if you like the additional bulk added). The screen protector was flush with the screen and responsive. Not nearly as nice feeling as a skinomi, but still nice.
I know this is an older post but........ I just got the defender series and it really doesn't bulk up the phone that much - frankly it is pretty small in you hand without a case. Even with this case on it still fits into the side pocket of a pair of carhartts. It is worth the money.
NO not THAT type of protection :angel: Ordered my new Rezound today and am looking for a good screen protector, case, etc. I have done a little searching on topic and I see alot of "I wish they made this for the Rezound" and not many consistent reviews. I am a mechanic and with my old DINC I had the issue with metal shavings even if I put in a small ziplock bag. Anyone have a good cheap fix to this problem so I don't immediately screw my new phone? I have found: CASE and PROTECTOR that I like so far. The realook seemed to be on par or similar to the steinheils people seem to worship. thanks in advance
screen protector
I work in a machine shop, so i get shavings as well
On my BB the chips would get into the speaker and cause problems
I use best skins ever protector without any case and have not had problems.
easy install, smooth feel works great

that's interesting, is it just a plastic shield for front and back?
If bulk is not an issue, I'd suggest getting the Otterbox Defender case. I has a built-in screen protector and will make it pretty hard to damage your new phone. Check them out here....

By the way, you can find them cheaper on Amazon or Ebay. I have no affiliation with any of the companies mentioned in this post.
I agree with mefloump, I just purchased the Otterbox Defender and it works great. I highly recommend it.
I've been looking at it too. I have someone else with one on an iphone. Nice cases.
Check out the ZaggShield. Definitely my favorite.
will def give those a look at. I was a little concerned about "bulk" how bulky is it? Like I keep my phone in my pocket (non saggy/baggy) am I going to have problems fishing it out? lol

IMO, I don't think you will be able to get it in your pocket with the defender case. It comes with a holster though. Personally I use the body glove case because it is slim fitting.

Just ordered a seidio surface case from amazon I'll let you know how it is. I wanted protection without adding to much bulk and it was the nicest one I found.

your best bet is zagg! order online for 16 or 17 buck + shipping, but it is a lifetime replacement if anything happens to it
Not sure if it was suggested but get the Zagg screen protector and pop out the screen protector that comes with the Defender case. You'll be pretty protected.

I would look into ghost armor if I was you. They are the best screen protection I have ever found but I wouldnt order one and put it on yourself, they put it in a littlte hot box to cook it to the screen. Amazing feel, almost cant tell its there, and they do a little demo by intentionally scratching it with car keys and what not with no damage.
I've been pretty happy with tpu cases, very thin yet durable. I've actually dropped it a few times with no problems. And to top it all off I just got one off eBay for about $2.. I also use the cheap screen protectors because they feel smooth and if I scratch them it's not the end of the world.

Thats funny you say that. I am a field tech with Yale, the yellow forklift company, and thats actually what I did too for the first couple of months of owning the Rezound. I carried that sucker around everywhere with it inside of one of those little parts ziplock type bags from work.

Has any users here used or have this case for their nexus 6? I already paid for it and it will be here tomorrow using amazing 1 day shipping. Curious what others think.
I have it. Bought it and the ringke fusion same time. I like both, and quality seems to be identical. That being said I find I use the ringke more as it has the accent depression on the back that feels good in hand, as well as the protruding buttons are easier to distinguish.
The upside if the spigen however, is that it seems to have less of a rainbow effect on the back at certain angles.
I have this case, I love it because of the clear back, really shows off the beauty of the Nexus 6. However, as mentioned by the other poster, this case makes it very hard to distinguish the power and volume buttons. The buttons on my case also weren't very tactile, I always find myself hitting the wrong one. But, I still thoroughly enjoy this case, it protects the Nexus 6 very well.

Thanks. I am putting a dbrand skin on it...blue one actually. So excited about this. Thanks I always used Spigen for all my devices. Just figured I ask. Is this a slip on type one or is it clip like the metal ones? I didnt really find anything about how it gets put on.
I just push the bottom of the phone in and snap it down in. The border is tpu, so it has some flex while offering some drop protection.
I use a black carbon fiber slickwrap on my n6, and it really does emphasize the beauty of this beast.

I checked via web for a review of this (video) is there one?
I know there is one comparing the 2 cases I have, I ordered both right after watching it. I'm at work right now so I can't really track down the link.

thats ok i already bought it. The last thing I am wonder is do u have a screen protector on it with this case or the glass screen protectors? will they work with this case?
The glass do yes, but I got rid of mine because I hate the halo. I'm using the plastic one that came with my ringke.
Nice case ..
