[Q] Any good case out there? - Samsung Galaxy Alpha

Is there any really good case out there?
how is the EF-CG850 ?
I just think its overprized...just PU-plasic-leather....
Therefore maybe there are other good options? Right no I just use a leather case to put it in but it's not "wallet-like".
Best,
blubberor

go to aliexpres & make a search

The Spigen case looks really slick. Haven't purchased it myself yet since I don't like cases. I only ordered a Nillkin 9H screen protector (made of real glass).
Check out the case here: http://www.amazon.com/Spigen®-METAL...=1414519789&sr=8-1&keywords=galaxy+alpha+case

Not sure what you are looking for but AT&T Stores have nice cases for Alpha
including a Mil Spec Pelican Case and some thinner ones also.

Check the Accessories section of the alpha forum!

Nillkin TPU Case/Hard Case Quick Review

This is a real quick review of the Nillkin TPU case and Hard case off of ebay
Search ebay for "NILLKIN TPU CASE FOR Samsung Galaxy Note" and there are a bunch that come up. They ship from Hong Kong.
One of the sellers sent me the TPU and Hard Case to check if they fit the At&t version and they fit great. They are $10-$12. I prefer the TPU because it creates a lip that covers the entire phone. The hard case doesn't cover the top and bottom.
There are little grips on the side that make it easier to hold and the material is rubberish and grips well. All of the holes align well.
Sorry no pictures as I am running out the door. Hope this helps anyone looking for a decent TPU case.
Took 5 days to ship and the quality is great. Wanted to offer my experience for anyone looking at it. The International Note forum really like this case as well.
I am not surprised that you hijacked this tread to plug your website. You have been going it all week.

Cases available for Galaxy S7?

I am pretty sure I will buy this model for my boyfriend´s birthday in April. I have already seen cases on line in Amazon or Mobilefun.com that says available. Do you think they are trustable?
Could I buy one to give as a small present in San Valentin´s day? Or they will be fake as model is not in the market yet?
Any help?http://cdn2.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
Not sure they are trustable but they are stylish
Popular Spigen case maker has now posted cases for the unannounced Galaxy S7 and its variants online.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Case
I just saw that Rokform has a new case coming for the S7 that they call the "Sport Utility case" I think it would be worth checking out if you want a case that can perform multiple tasks as well as protect your phone.

I will only keep one ,after comparing them together
I've had a bunch of spigen neo hybrids (best looking IMO) but the biggest downfall is the plastic bumper around the charger port cracks. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
I am looking into getting a new phone case and found out a few cases

They make one for only Best Buy with a clear back. Got one with the phone Friday and it is nice and slim. Easy to get the phone in and out. There is also a version out with Buffalo leather that looks good in the pictures.
Also ordered the Ballistic Tough Case for extreme days. Had one on the HTC M7 for over two years rough years and the phone looks like new.

S8 Ultra-thin case? (Peel-like case)

Hello guys,
I am still doing my search for an ultra-thin case with mate finish for my S8. It is something like the Peel cases for iPhone (sadly they don't care about Samsung phones).
There are some thin cases but I often don't like their glossy finish or the case is not well built.
If anyone knows a case like the Peel, please let me know

I'm using this one from Amazon and very happy with it - only scratch protection, but that's what I was looking for - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHFYJM7
I just purchased this one. Waiting for it to come in Wednesday. I can post some pictures once I have it.

This looks closest to peel/Cali case I always use, will be purchasing this for myself , got the wife a Spigen liquid armor she needs a bit more protection
Received the elago case today in black. Cut outs are exact and fit is good, seems to be a bit of movement along the edges.
Perfect for scratch protection and a screen protector should work great with the elago.

This is CaliCase. They changed their name.
Get the elago case from Amazon. It's sooooooooooooo slim! It's .3 I believe and leaves you the flush look of the phone. Just need a decent screen protector now lol

Nope - the one negative for me. If it was, it would be perfect, but otherwise it's great
Spigen AirSkin is the best quality and closest you'll get to Peel or Caudabe.
+1 for Spigen Airskin. It is .36mm and the peel is .35mm. It is *very* thin, bordering on scratch-only protection.
Are you guys speaking from experience on the S8? The Spigen air skin doesn't fit my S8 for some reason, it's just a tad bit too narrow. Spigen was nice enough to replace it, but the new one is the same.
MNML fits perfectly and is the same ultra thin type case. It's my vote for the S8. The other benefit to the MNML case over the Spigen is, the bottom is covered on the MNML, while on the Spigen it's exposed.
I have the Spigen Air Skin on an S8 now and it fits perfectly. The bottom is exposed (except the corners) and the back cutout looks to be different (one big cutout) than the MNML (3 separate cutouts). Face down, it still sits without the front glass touching.
The Nillkin brand of cases out of china are good quality. I've owned a few version of their cases for different models of phone. If you want the slimist case that is TPU and gives some slight shock protection over not having a case, the NATURE line is awesome. I just ordered my clear S8 case from Amazon. can't go wrong with this case. I will update once it arrives.
Also, thing of note...this case has a separator for the camera and fingerprint reader. This actually helps out and functional to keep me from placing my finger on the camera. My current case has the same design as this was a feature I was looking for. Most of the cases has a large cutout on the back which I think was the cheap/fast way to release a case.

Exactly what I was looking for.
Very slim, no branding, matte black.

I got mine from a company called Bare Cases. Think they're a small company but the case felt very premium. Has a matte finishing. So far it's scratched at the back but I don't mind it cos I guess it protects my phone from those exact scratches.
The Spigen air skin didn't fit good and I just gave up with that.

Cases

Any reviews or feedback on cases. I've always used a thin spigen TPU case with the carbon fiber look. Wouldnt mind another one or a suede feeling case.
Most of the good looking ones on ebay show no cutout on the rear for the fingerprint.
Thanks
I ordered the FitBag Beat in black from Amazon.com for the Xioami Mi Max 2 and it is the perfect fit sleeve/bag for the Mate 20 X. It works by itself or with the gel Case that came with it. Add a wallet sticker dohicky thing and it's a prefect wallet sleeve.
Here some really good and good quality smart (wake & sleep) flip cases from Aliexpres.

For those of you who like the transparent cases i found one that is awesome. It has more screen protection than the stock case and has more corner protection. It's one of the best clear cases I've bought. It's similar in quality to a Spigen or Rinke Fusion case but 1/3 the price. I bought it from here:

Grippy?
Anyone know where can I find this case?
I got this case and I feel it could provide decent protection. I am never a fan of thin or thick case. It's impossible to provide enough raised edges on thin cases. This case isn't perfect but I didn't find anything better yet.

Just Google MojoSkins.
I got a few from them. Thier full protection skins are great but hard to get on perfect. The back portion goes on easy as the skin is thick making application simple. They also over back protectors (no side/top/bottom flaps) that I think work best.
Bought this J&D case off Amazon for $10.99CND. Not too bulky. Wicked drop protection soft TPU inside Hard shell outside. Plus has plugs built in to protect charger port and headphone jack. Plus the volume and power buttons are super clicky. Highly recommend.
The clear TPU case provided with the phone is functional (I dropped my phone onto a hard floor with this case on and the phone was fine), but I do find the phone 'slippery' to pick up with this case. I have the Nillkin nature series tpu case for my Xiaomi Mi Max 3 (same size phone) and it is great because its edges are coated with a frosted grip material. Nillkin make this case for the Mate 20 and Mate 20 lite, but not for the Mate 20 x. Does anyone know of a similar clear TPU case that (unlike the Huawei one) has frosted edges for a better grip?
I have quite a few cases and have a few more on the way. I was thinking of doing a case review eventually.
Still no cases made especially for the stylus pen?
Ditto on looking for a case that will also hold the pen.
Found one with pen holder!

Accessories Thinborne Super Thin Minimalist Style Aramid Fiber Case

Just got this case for my S23 Ultra when I get it. If your looking for a styled case with the protection you need for your new phone, check out the site. Thinborne has never let me down with the cases they design. A++++
ThinBorne
ThinBorne
thinborne.com
They also have more rugged cases if you need more protection for your phone.
https://getcaseborne.com/collections/samsung-galaxy-s23-ultra-case
Minimalistic in all aspects.
No chance I would buy something similar again.
FYI those cases can and will damage sides/corners of the phone as they will scratch paint etc.

Tru, so it is best for people who want to use case like not case
also, we actually add a tempered glass screen protector with the case lol
just want to shock you!
hi; anyone bought and used this acse? looks really nice, i prefer vs pitaka and latercase, but it looks that it is not available right now? apparently, supplier problem; anyway, real experience regarding this?
how it holds up and if it scratches the sides or blocks the signal
I have purchased similar cases. They often no real protection. Looks cool though. There are two different types of aramid case apparently.
