Hi everyone, just switched from my Nexus 5 to an LG G3 today. First priority is to pick up a decent case and screen protector combo.
Been reading on the forums but haven't really found many definitive answers.
I've been looking at 2 cases:
-Tudia Ultra Slim Lite
-Diztronic Matte Black TPU
If anybody can shed some light on which will offer a better fit and grip/feel in the hand, and which is more compatible with a wide variety of screen protectors,
it would be greatly appreciated.
Lastly, I've noticed a ton of screen protectors seem to have one large rectangular cutout for the earpiece and sensors which I do not like.
Which companies offer the most screen coverage? (Doesn't have to be glass)
I've noticed these Spigen Crystal Clear protectors show precision cuts but who knows how accurate that is
http://www.amazon.ca/Protector-Spig...373279&sr=8-5&keywords=lg+g3+screen+protector
I would like to put in orders this weekend so I can start using this badboy to its full potential!
Thank you in advance, hopefully I'll be able to shed light on other questions in return sometime soon.

Diztronics makes great quality cases. Was not a fan of the feel of tudia case for my g2. Cruzerlite cases are legit as well.
I don't have any pictures, but I have the Diztronic and love it. It has a nice feel and doesn't smudge like a gloss tpu would.
It's paired with a Zagg glass screen protector and fits well. For a glass that has precise cutouts the PThink brand that can be found on Amazon has just the earpiece cutout. I would have gotten that one if I found it before buying the Zagg.

Thanks for the replies guys, I ended up ordering the Diztronic + Spigen Crystal clear protectors
Just thought I'd give an update here, possibly for anyone looking for a good case for their phone.
Got my diztronic in the mail today, and it makes me wonder why I never bothered to order one of their cases in the past.
For the price you pay, you're getting a great fitting case which looks good and feels good in the hand. Doesn't seem to add much extra bulk to the phone either.

Did you get the regular TPU case or the ultra version of it? Both are nice! I'd also recommend the Tactical Impact by Tech21. It is similar to the Diztronic but the TPU is more rugged and interior is lined with D3O material. Awesome case for $20

I opted for just the regular diztronic TPU as I didn't want to add any significant bulk to the phone but still have some sort of scratch protection
One thing that worries me about it though is if the matte coating were to start rubbing off.
This happened to a rearth ringke case I purchased for my Galaxy S2 way back when. That was quite disappointing
You shouldn't need to worry about wear on the diztronic case. I've had one on my Galaxy S3 for a couple years without any visible wear and it goes everywhere with me.

So I bought the Spigen slim armor with kickstand case just recently and found that it is rather a thick case and added bulk to the N6. It in turns made the N6 not be able to fit the car mount I bought. Anyone got recommendation for a good slim case?

Ringke Slim Case.
But keep in mind. Slim cases like this offers less protection.
I really like my Diztronic case. It's thin and feels well protected. A few videos on YouTube where people do drop tests and it came out without a scratch.

Got the diztronic... its not like its slim
The slimmest i have is ringke
Try Orzly case, it is very very thin.
The Ringke Max is actually pretty 'slim' with a lot of protection. If you want close to naked feel, then the Ringke Slim might be best, but really not that much protection.

I bought the Spigen Ultra Hybrid (clear), Thin Fit (clear), Slim Armor and S Wallet. IMO the Slim Armor fit and looked the best, but FAT. The TPUs just made the phone uber FAT(er). The wallet hinge/flap/binder thing is too loose and flabby [I wanted tight form fitting].
I ordered several generic gel jelly slim TPU.
First one to arrive is one with a logo that reads INSTEN and I am very impressed by it.
It's tight (queue up Micheal Meyers), lip is thin and holds on to the frame without going over on to the glass, barely raised ever so slightly higher than the screen.
It makes the screen/viewing pop out (it might be the color I chose, yellow).
The cutouts are great, the thinly covered raised areas over the power and volume rocker are just right (if you have the slim armor you might experience what I have, where touching the buttons is just too sensitive).
Grippy and sturdy. Knocked some on the table, I'd use it to press some buttons, sure..
I might go order more colors.
Usually I like Goospery Mercury Gel TPU cases on my phones, but haven't found any made for the N6.
EDIT: easy in and out from pocket.
Thanks guys for your suggestions. I think I'm going to go with the slick wraps full body because it does not add any bulk and provide some protection.

That INSTEN case is identical to the Caseology cases. Probably made in china, and companies just put their own name on it. But they look OK with medium protection.

I'm not doubting your choice, as it's your phone. But any "protection" you get from a skin will be just to prevent scratches and no drop protection. Good luck.

I dont have the caseology, but from the images I can agree, sans dimple. It's a good thing being at 1/3rd the price. I went ahead and bought green and black as well. It is so far my fave case.
I'll add, you know the form, shape that the phone has, makes it fit well in the hand and really gives it that unique feeling that it is a much smaller phone. This case INSTEN keeps that feeling intact..

I also really like the diztronic case. Minimal and functional.
I actually have the carved case and it's really slim and seems somewhat protective. Especially since it's made of real wood!

Agreed. Fairly protective without being too bulky. Good grip too.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a case that preserves the top heaviness and dramatic tapering of thickness at the bottom of the phone? Basically I'm as concerned about drop protection as preserving the original "feel" of the phone.
Has anyone had better luck than I at finding a case and screen protector, preferably one with a matte finish, that work well together on the S7 (non-edge)? I generally use Spigen cases as they are slim and slightly wrap around the front of the phone. However, this caused my first two screen protectors (both plastic) to bubble up around the edges and eventually peel off. The best was the Skinomi but it only lasted a few weeks longer than the first one I tried.
From reviewing most threads it looks like most people have either went the route of either a) skin + screen protectors or b) case + no screen protectors on their S7 due to slightly curved nature of the screen. But being as it's now September, I was hoping there would have been some better options to fully protect the phone. I'm hoping to hear if anyone has found a good combo.
Thanks in advance.

Has anyone found any matte screen protector that works with ANY s7 case?
No luck? I just put a Spigen Neo-Hybrid and immediately the BSE cover bubbled up.
The Tech21 matte screen protector works with my Tech21 cases, which have quite a lip, so I assume it'll fit other rugged cases too.

I use the tech 21 matte impact shield with a tech 21 impact tactical case. Really nice combo that work well together, but far from cheap!
I use goospery with screen protector and no problems

I paid £16 for mine here in the UK off ebay. They are very pricey but I am very happy with it. The anti glare makes such a huge difference. Equally it does feel like it will last.
The tactical case I got seems very rare to source here in the UK as well from anywhere other than tech 21. Ended up paying £30 for that!

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

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.

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.

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.
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.

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:

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!

I'm sticking with the Spigen Tough Armor, same one I have on my 3A right now. Along with a 3 pack of Shieldbrainz screen protectors (I went through 3 of those for the 3A in the time I had it, got the 3a just after it dropped).
Edit: Just received the Spigen and compared the case to the 3A case I have. It's just a tad bit shorter in length and just a little thicker but everything else seems right on. The cutouts on the end are even about the same so this gives me some idea of the size difference (seems negligible).

So I have been on a bit of a shopping spree (oops). Thankfully Amazon US has free returns on cases. I currently have the:
DiMiK case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084S3ZY9G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_jbZmFbDRNDBWQ
Caseology Vault: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083Q4SY5G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_5aZmFb8PPY0N6
Spigen Liquid Crystal: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083N54J5Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_OaZmFbVDVR3P1
And tomorrow I get the Cyrill Brick Case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083QQTQ3V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_5.YmFb2PCB9HQ
Quick notes and observations.
1) All of the cases are the exact same size and thickness.
2) The DiMiK case is as cheap as you would expect. No real corner protection or grip and the form is not perfect.
3) The vault is great quality but notably heavier than the other cases. Outside of the extra weight, my main concern is grip from this case. The texture adds no real grip to the phone. Form is perfect.
4) Liquid crystal also has almost perfect build quality with one small imperfection on the inside of a corner. Very light weight with great protection. The grip on this case is fantastic (important to me). Unfortunately I think it will get noticeably scuffed and will eventually turn yellow.
Q: Are caseology and spigen made by the same company? The form, quality and packaging are almost identical. The difference is the color, weight and grip.
I wish I had a solid color liquid crystal case. That is why I am trying the brick case. No perfect solution yet.
Thought I would share with everyone.

I believe so. If you go to the Spigen website, at the top there are links to Caseology and Cyrill, as well as the Spigen Gearlock collection, and all the websites are styled and formatted identically.

I just order the Spigen Rugged Armor this morning. https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Rugged-Armor-Designed-Google/dp/B083N5DD7K/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=spigen+pixel+4a&qid=1597678531&s=electronics&sr=1-1
I have been happy with my nearly Spigen case for my OnePlus3T. I wish there was a bright red or blue besides just black...but I can live with black. I would have considered the Tough Armor If I had found that in my amazon searches. I like how the Tough Armor gets wider around the camera bump to protect it.

I just order the Spigen Rugged Armor this morning. https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Rugged-Armor-Designed-Google/dp/B083N5DD7K/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=spigen+pixel+4a&qid=1597678531&s=electronics&sr=1-1
I have been happy with my nearly Spigen case for my OnePlus3T. I wish there was a bright red or blue besides just black...but I can live with black. I would have considered the Tough Armor If I had found that in my amazon searches. I like how the Tough Armor gets wider around the camera bump to protect it.

I don't know how that case retails for 39.99 on Spigen's website, and only 14.99 on Amazon, but I ordered one just in case it's a momentary mis-pricing.
Spigen Tough Armor is the way to go. I've dropped my pixel 4a twice on concrete with no issues. I like the way it feels and it performs. Just wish it came in other colors.
There are not a lot of quality choices out there for the pixel 4a., but luckily this one is top drawer.

Got a Caseology Parallax for the wife. She wanted something to add some color to the black phone. Case fits really well and the case looks really nice (if you're into their colors), but it's kind of a bit slippery. I have a feeling it won't be her forever case, but it's a fine case and will probably be the one she uses until we discover her forever case. Buttons are plenty clicky and the phone is plenty protected without being insanely bulky (it's not insanely thin either - it's in the middle of the spectrum but towards the bukly end). She usually goes with a Speck Presidio Grip case, but wanted to try something new. If you don't need a grippy or minimal case, I'd recommend it.
It fits perfectly with an OMOTION or Orzero TGSP.
Got this from Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086X647CC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
2 cases for $8
Since I got my phones today and put these on- the fit well, corners are protected, covers the camera. Does everything a case should do
Did I mention it's $8 for 2 cases?
My biggest "look-for" is a case that will allow a phone ring holder to adhere to it securely. That rules out the Caseology Parallax unfortunately for me..
I got a spingen; Black thin; https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Thin-Designed-Google-Pixel/dp/B083N3YT4Z#ace-g7448806443
I got the same one as above^ and two more from the Spigen brand. I love the quality feel on them. Definitely recommend Spigen.
I purchased the Caseology Vault case. Fits fine. The lip around the edge of the screen sometimes makes the gestures a little more difficult but I think I've adapted now.

I would love to get the Tough Armor but that plastic stand seems iffy to me. I've seen reviews of the case and it looks a little flimsy and like it might break. If the back of the case was completely solid without it, it would be my go to no questions asked. For now I picked up a Caseology Parallax which is set to arrive on Monday (my phone was just delivered today) to see if I like it or if I want to switch over to the Spigen Rugged Armor.
