So some people like the idea of the HTC Dot View case and hate it for one reason or the other, however, I had a idea on how to improve on it.
Why not give a metallic back to the case similar to the phones material, but on the inside of the case where the phone is inserted, it has a thin rubber coat to make sure the metals don't scrape against each other or some breathable material so if the device heats up, the case can dispell the heat safely then just rubber absorbing it. Have the same and more color options that the M8 came with.
Keep the front the same as the HTC Dot View case.
Issue is, I cant find a site that could do my idea, and I lack the skills to make such a case. I know it would add slightly more bulk, but I would personally prefer metal over plastic. Anyone know where I could do it?
I have the spigen slim case and It is really good case it feels nice and it is actually a soled case. i think it will be what you are looking for.

There are a few metallic cases. I like this one: http://www.mobilefun.com/44902-uag-...&referer=PLA&gclid=CNDpyNnEiL4CFcU-MgodkzYAwA
love or hate it, the dot view case is sold out in my area. Went to 3 different ATT stores and a Best Buy. All sold out.
I don't know how it's possible. Didn't think this phone was that popular. Right now I am caseless and its bothering the hell out of me

The back is hard plastic, leather wrapped.
Unless your saying you already have the HTC case and you need something to go over it. If that's the case, I'd say probably not since most everything is made to fit the device by itself.
It´s the leather wrapped plastic case. At the moment I am using it together with the original white leather case. It´s a little bit tight-fitting but it works.
By the way, pay a little attention to Flyer cases who fits too tight;
1. They may cause stains especially at the top and bottom parts (rubbing with some diluted IPA or cologne water will do the trick)
2. I've also faced an interesting problem. The cases that fully cover the tablet makes the G-sensor not work. Like in the pic.
Therefore it seems, one has to use cases that hold or cover the tablet from the edges.
Is it real leather ? How does it feel ?
This guy has the rotating one for $7.99 shipped and he's i n the USA. It just has a slight imprint of the rotating side on it from back packing from China. You won't find it anywhere else under $12 now let alone from a US seller. My luck, the guy went on vaca before shipping mine out. Quite peeved. Would've spent a few dollars more and gotten something from Amazon with Prime like this one.. Great case. Have the same one for the Transformer and Icona A500.
I bought the $7.99 rotating case and its great. It actually has a hard shell mount with a leather (synthetic I presume) covering.... great looking ,great function, great price.

Same experience here.
Hi,
After months of putting it off (whilst discovering more and more cases coming onto the market all the time) I went for this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/StilGut-Ult...5QZ2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321807531&sr=8-1
At £34.90 not cheap but:
*I wanted the corners protecting, rather than all the edges and not the corners like it seems many flyer cases have...
*wanted a pen holder that protected the nib a little better (but now I can see it doesn't actually fully protect the nib)
*Superb build quality, lovely leather smell!
*Very simple design.
*The screen is completely unhindered, which I also thought was a plus compared to some designs where the case can encroach on the touchscreen.

When the front flap is closed is it a very tight fit against the the Flyer's screen?
I ask this because I have exactly the same case but the outside is in a imitation carbon fibre material & it is very tight fitting so much so that the flap would put too much pressure on the screen & I'm afraid in the long term it will cause damage.

This one I bought is yummy leather with a spongy cushion feel... The fit is tight but just kind of catches the curved side of the body, firm, but not too firm IMO... I don't expect it to damage the screen or even the body at all.

Hi,
XDA wouldn't let me post the url so please search google "flyer skin case" and the first post from amazon is the one I'm talking about.
Anyone tried this? I'm debating between the 360 which I think is very handy to have and a case which is less bulky and can fit in my pockets. Yes, I can fit the flyer in my pockets .
Thanks!
My case came in today, the supposedly dented one from ebay had not dent at all. Going to look good on my flyer once it comes in

I have the one your talking about and its not bad. I also have this one and like it much more:http://www.amazon.com/EMPIRE-Black-...77ZG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1322813150&sr=8-2
Its hard rubber as the one your talking about is flexible rubber, they both have the same feeling. It also has a face plate that secures the case on tight. Its on Prime so free 2 day ship.
Im waiting for the otterbox case to come in the mail. From the 100 or so cases I looked at it seemed to be the best.
Ok, so i've see a lot of great threads on cases and some really good reviews too and now my OCD is starting to kick in.
Which case is the best? I'm looking for something durable, light, and thin. Preferably TPU or some sort of soft and flexible material NOT silicone.
Pretty much i'm looking for the same case as what i had on my captivate, the mirage by bodyglove.
I've got a few different cases that i'm trying to decide between but i'm having a problem making the final decision.
I'm asking YOU, fellow SGS2-ers, to help me decide. Place your vote and leave a note (hey that rhymes!) and i will be sure to post a detailed review of the case if one hasn't been made already (or contribute to one that already exists)!
Thanks!
Here are the cases i am considering, in no particular order..

"Rubber Feel" Hard Case

I know a couple of these cases do not meet my own requirements but i have included them for the sake of others who might be considering the same.
And off we go!
Great roundup you've got there. I have the TPU-Case and love it, but hard to say it's the best without trying the others.
I would certainty recommend it though!
I've got the case mate barely there bushed aluminum and I really like it. I didn't think I would but I'm so. It's nice and thin and covers the phone well. It adds a little weight but to me it actually makes the phone feel better.

mine already broke by the volume rocker and the aluminum dents REALLY easily, its a very nice case though
I have this Incipio case:
http://www.myincipio.com/Samsung-Ga...-II-ATandT-NGP-Semi-Rigid-Soft-Shell-Case.asp
It is very nice quality, and fits perfectly. It does however have an small cutout for the international version's lanyard. It is really small though, so not too big of a problem. Some of the ones I have seen have the whole corner cutout for the international version (Ringke cases had this problem, which is why I did not choose that one). That seems like a huge problem to me, since if you drop it, the entire corner is exposed.
Hope this helps
I also have the Incipio and while it fits great (I did modify it to make a hole for the NC Mic), I'm not liking the extra effort required to turn the phone on or off. That action is already difficult enough with no case, but it's made even more difficult with the NGP.
Thanks for bringing to light this Incipio case. I just bought it. It looks like they fixed the problem with covered NC microphone. Now the cutout for it looks huge to fit AT&T and International version. Maybe they improved power button as well.

Thanks for linking that case, i haven't seen that one yet. I'll take a closer look at it and see if i can find a detailed review.
A quick google search led me to this good video review of the Incipio NGP (a TPU case). Looks to be a little dated though, the model they show on the Incipio webpage has a larger cutout for the NC mic and a color they didn't mention in the video. Still worth a look though.
Here's the video link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPJG6NEgj-M

I was heavily considering the Rearth Ringke but i read about some people having trouble with the case splitting apart on them due to small drops (see the Ringke thread here) and i decided to go with the SGP Ultra Capsule instead. I might also pick up the TPU-Case from Amazon just for the sake of having something to compare the SGP against.
I get super slow shipping so i'll put some pictures up in a week or so.
Hi there,
Im looking for thin case.
Best I have found is this case on ebay
Design is not bad, but its not covering glass area around the camera.
Questions:
1. Is there any thin case(plastic, rubber) that covers that?
2. Anyone tried skins? Will they remove easily(considering phone is jeans pocket)?
3. Those who are using various rubber, gel, hybrid and so on cases, how much fatter is your phone with them? If its not that much fatter suggestions on good cases then

I have tried them all, best case is either the capdase brand or official HTC TPU case. They both let your phone slide into your pocket easy, don't bulk out your phone, look great and offer good protection.
The Ebay jobs are just cheap rubbish you get fed up with after a week or 2.

Look up the Kraken AMS. That is a reasonable case.
Alternatively just look for something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-HAR...sesPouches&hash=item3a6a2fac16#ht_1887wt_1396
Best thing about this type of case is it doesn't add too much bulk, and is easy to get in and out of your pocket (unlike a silicone/rubber case). And it will actually protect your phone in a drop unlike that case you linked to in your original post. As for your screen... only BIG cases include a plastic layer to completely cover the glass.
Are you just looking for something with raised edges, and then use a screen protector perhaps? (Like the ebay one I showed you).
http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Superle...1HVI/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1333169597&sr=8-9
this has been the best case for me so far, its very thin, and has a rubber skin with a hard plastic shell..the kraken, and defender are way to big for me. this case is just the right size its about the same size as a tpu case.

My case looks exactly the same and it was £3 from amazon.
IMO the thinnest cases are the back cases ones that doesnt really cover the top and bottom bezel...just the sides and back. BUT if you really want to protect your phone and not get it scratched up over time, you are better off using a TPU type case as the are not too thick and are of softer material and will not rub off any of the black anodized paint. Unlike any hard cases, whether its back only or 2 pieces. Also TPU cases are more absorbent during accidental drop on hard surfaces.
I was running seidio 2pc case hard case w/kick stand with my first 3d and although it had felt inside it eventually rubbed off the pain on the top corners of my phone. The felt inside was very thin and the case is not skin tight so it would move some and the slight movement of the case over time eventually sandpapered some of the paint off. TPU or rubber type cases are more skin tight and is not as abrasive as plastic on painted metal and will not damage the paint so long as you also clean it off from time to time. Some dirt can eventually get in between and the dirt will act as sandpaper. So just consider this when you're buying a case as some of you would probably like to sell your phone later down the road or just want to keep it looking new for a long time.
Finally found ultra thin(slim) case

Those thin cases are the exact same thing as the case mate barely there cases. Much cheaper. I got the rock brand and like it a lot. You do lose that boot of protection at top and bottom though.
Some people have complained that these type of cases are a bit loose on the sides. Easy fix is to lightly squeeze the sides inwards... tight fit!

I read a post earlier this morning about how America doesn't make use of lanyards with phones too often. I really hadn't thought of this, but I think it would be really functional to have my EVO on a lanyard. Is there any way to securely attach a lanyard to the EVO? Perhaps with a thin case with a spot for a lanyard?
I really like this idea, personally.
The phone is so light, it would be awesome.
Modifying the glossy backing with two tiny holes centered above the camera lens may be an option, but a mod like that is something I am not comfortable doing myself. And, how secure would an attachment there be?
that's a good idea. I would try it on the phone case if you bought one
or perhaps, a good question is, who would have replacement glossy backings that I could purchase? Sprint? HTC? I would like to have an extra one to play and put holes in it so I don't ruin the original...
I would highly recommend not doing it through the removable cover! It's not designed to bear any weight or force without popping off the phone. Perhaps it would be better to get a TPU case, cut two holes somewhere on an edge and thread the lanyard through that?

Hye guys. I bought a new case for my note 3 today, and im quite sure this brand is not as famous as others, but it really looks nice and simple for me.
First of all, the price is quite affordable, bought it for $18 at local store in my country. (approximately $14usd) Design-wise, it resembles Spigen Neo Hybrid but much slimmer, and the back has textured-leather like design, and it really feels like leather, which imo fells comfortable and non slippery, plus has the stitching design that looks similar with the original back cover of Note 3. The plastic rims that cover the whole bezel also feels quite good. All ports are easily accessible. Protection wise, i think it doesnt offer much protection, so tempered glass is a must. below is the link to the actual product, sorry that i cant post the pics. and im not sure about the availability in other countries.

That's a pretty nice looking case! What exactly is the back piece made of? Is it plastic made to look like leather, or is it some kind of TPU material? Also how is the grip on the sides?
I won't be switching from my Defender any time soon, but I think my wife might like the pink one shown on the website if her wallet case ever gives out.

the back piece is actually made of soft TPU, so it feels much more leather-like compared to the original back cover. Those who likes to use their phone naked will appreciate this case as it feels literally the same,if not much better. and the rims at the side is not slippery plastic, provide nice grip compared to other hybrid cases that i had used.
More pictures (close-up) and they also give screen protector inside the packaging
