Just received a couple of cases I purchased
1 Simplism black
1 Simplism clear
1 MetalSlim clear
The Simplism are soft while the metal slim is the hard plastic. Using the simpliam now and loving the fit and the quality. Had the sont flip case when I biught the phone but was immediately unsatisfied because of how much weight and thickness it added.
Chexk out the simplism if u looking for the thin case that just to protect scratches and min drops.
Btw, above mentioned all came with screen protectors
Loving it
Take care guys

Can you post some pictures of your device in the cases? I'm especially interested in the Simplism Clear, because manufacturers often show rendered 3D models or digitally enhanced shots to show how transparent these things are when actually they are more milky and matte.

i wouldn't say it's 100% clear, on some close up photos you can see that its actually got 'micro' dots. don't know what is the purpose for that though. i personally do think that even with the dots, it's clarity is transparent enough for me
nothing yet to complain about this case
**by then way, this cases do have the cut-out for the magnetic port which was also one of my main reasons for buying as i believe i'm like many users, i use the dock to charge when at home
found this website i think it's located in the US, the others are in Asia

Hi,
I am from India, using an Z Ultra. I was looking for a bumper case for it and stumbled upon a cool one in eBay:
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Ultra-Thin-A...-Case-Sony-Xperia-Z-Ultra-Black-/281162345171
But it is so expensive. Rs 2636.
If anyone have stumbled upon a cool bumper for the Z Ultra, which is a bit cheap, please post:angel:
Does the silence mean that nobody knows about a cheaper option in India?

eBay Global Easy Buy
I picked up a black aluminium one of ebay GEB. Turned out slightly cheap. And the phone looks amazing with it. http://geb.ebay.in/g/ImportHubSearc...tra&catId=&qbtn=Search&_trksid=p2052119.l1440
Most of cheap aluminum bumper cases are un-reliable due to no protection in between the case and the phone. It gives u more scratch to the phone if the bumper is not tight enough. Plz ask seller about it.

Realize this is an older post, but was wondering if the bumper degraded your cell or gps signals? I have been thinking of getting one but read where some people have issues with them.

Hey, sorry for the delay in replying. Even though the bumper looks very cool, I have realized (the hard way, though) that you will not be seen using it all the time. First of all, the added bulk, even though very little, does not justify the usage
Secondly, the bumper may not be so comfortable to hold, may be cos of the edges
Thirdly, it does not play well with the Xperia Z Ultra design language. This is not as beautiful as a Nexus 4 bumper, i would say
I AM NOT USING THE BUMPER CASE anymore :cyclops:

It was a hard glass case. IMAK Case. It scratched my device on the sides. I took it and threw it. Now no case
Silicon cases might be the best option
oh man I'm sorry to hear that. That's kind of a nightmare and it sounds like we need to keep away from bumper cases and this all glass case.
What's up guys, some people have been asking for Otterbox reviews so I thought I'd put up a couple pictures of my Commuter I got last week. It's the best case I've had for my Note so far and with the tempered screen protector the protection can't be beat in my opinion. The S-pen cutout is great and makes for easy removal. All ports are accounted for including IR and all microphones. The fit in my opinion is great and doesn't add much bulk for the level of protection you get.
I am very happy with my purchase but if I had to list some cons, I'd say:
- weird back texture makes hand sweaty. Really weird
- not the most stylish case out there
- expensive ~44.99
Thanks for reading I look forward to your feedback and questions

Yup, I see you're using XDA Premium as well. *This is off-topic to your thread, so I'll go ahead and apologize for that before I even begin.* For some reason it only allows one pic per post....and that's WHEN it's letting you post pics at all! When trying to attach pics, I constantly get the error that I'm not logged in, or that I don't have permission. It's VERY frustrating! Both XDA Premium, and XDA Premium HD have been doing this for at least 3-4 months now. I bought both a while back, so I've tried with both apps on multiple devices(phones and tablets). I really wish the devs would fix this issue. I've already reported it to them multiple times, but I think more people need to complain to get the devs to look in to it or actually do anything about it.
SwiftKey'ed from my White Sprint Note 3 via XDA Premium
I've just received an Otterbox Commuter and I like it a lot. One question though - are the flaps for the charging and headphone ports supposed to sit slightly proud of the case? It makes sense I suppose, otherwise they'd be rather difficult to open but it does look a bit odd.

Yes. About the same grippyness as the back itself just different material. And a bear motion bumper. Still haven't dropped my phone.

I don't like skinomi protectors on anything with a pen input. It just doesn't slide well. Back protection, sure. Sides, sure. Screen? No way.
The only one I did like with the pen input was the HTC view and that had a different stylus.
I've had skinomi for my note 10, note 8, and a bunch of phones. They work well on the phones (S4, s3, droid razr etc) but with the s-pen it felt terrible. Constantly dragging and digging into the skin. Just not an enjoyable experience.
When I initially installed the protector on my note 10, I gave it two days to settle before using it, and it wasn't enough. I had to leave the thing sit for over a week before it was acceptable and that's not something I have the luxury of doing with my phones. I had even contacted customer support and they were the ones to suggest letting it sit for at least a week before using.
I could assume it was just the amount of solution used, but I've used skinomi products enough to know what I'm doing and I won't waste my time using them for anything with pen input now.
I bought 2 of the skinomi clear ones during the sale. Thanks for the fyi. I just installed the sides and the back one for the camera and use a tempered glass for the front. So far I like it and it gives the phone better side grip. Although I probably wouldn't have bought it if it was regular price however. It would be nice if they just sold the sides and the camera one separately.

I've had this case on my GNex, my G2, and now my G3. Always great quality and feel for the case. I usually get black but this time I got red. Normally I give this case a perfect score but I'm not liking the company logo in the center of the Android this time. I have this case and the Spigen slim armor and recommend both. This TPU case feels thinner obviously.
I feel the same way about the logo. I hope this phone becomes popular enough for them to male a few different styles. Cruzerlite has always been top notch in quality and customer service for me.

I really like these cases (I've had one on my Nexus 7 2013 for almost a year now), however, I've noticed as you mentioned the TPU is very thin. The case is great, but it has become stretched out in one corner over time and now it just looks a little weird, even though its not extremely noticeable unless you are holding the device. Are any of these issues still present in the newer ones? I was thinking about picking one up for my G3, but I don't want to to get stretched out and look bad or cause damage to the phone if it comes off during a drop.
I've never had that problem with any of the cases I've owned. Might be a tablet case problem. These cases have been solid for me.

I was considering this since the reviews say that it's still pretty slim while also providing decent protection. My question, though, is what is the texture of the case? Does it feel grippy?
I want a case that has some kind of traction in my hands so that it feels secure without me having to always feel like I should have an iron grip on it.
I have a Ghostek hard case which does offer a bit more trip than the stock back of the phone, but honestly not by much. I want something that will stay in my hands.

It has a smooth feel but not too slick. It doesn't feel sticky link the cases they had at the Verizon store. I wouldn't call the best grip but it's worked for me so far. My old Cruzerlite case on my GNex had ridges on the side that gave a better grip. The G3 model does not.
For $10 on Amazon, I think it's worth a go if to aren't looking for something that feels tacky.
It's a soft rubber feel to it. Not slippery. Best way to describe it is a "matte" feel to it. I like it.

I have to agree about the company logo in the middle of the Android mascot. I used this case on the Nexus 5 and now on the G3 and I love it. Great drop protection and a nice non-slip rubbery feel

Unfortunately, I kind of needed my Nexus to take these photos... ?
I should also mention, it does add some thickness to the device - but not really much more than the Spigen Slim Armor. I'd imagine it has a lot to do with taking a rounded back and making it flat.

Not too bad at all. As I'd said - I'd say it's comparable in thickness to the Spigen Slim Armor, and the only real additional bulk comes from the added material in making a rounded back a flat one. I don't think I can go back to rounded now, actually. ^^;
