I have a Ringke slim. I usually keep my phone naked but when I go mountain biking, I've been putting this case on and putting my n6 in my backpack, however I have some scratches on the glass that I'd prefer don't get any worse.
I'm wondering if any of you have come across what I think I want out of a case and whether you can recommend me something please...
Wants:
- Rugged, hard back otter box / UAG rugged (perhaps not so extreme )... Basically if I fall off and land on my backpack i want as much protection against crushing as I could expect
- flip cover or something similar that can securely cover the screen
- potentially still able to use the camera
Don't wants:
- flimsy or magnet closing mechanism
- not bothered about waking the screen on opening
- slots for credit cards
Does anything like this exist?
I never take my phone with me on the bike, mountain or road. I don't crash often but when I do...
I do take my old galaxy nexus with me though, use it for Strava and access to 911 (no SIM). I keep it in a neoprene sleeve just in case. and that's a 4 year old phone
edit: if I were to take my N6 along, I'd opt for a thick neoprene sleeve. also, my current leather flip case is from tetded.com. no credit card slots and the flip cover has a little friction tab that keeps it closed. maybe not quite crash proof but it is a nice case.

Cool, cheers. Thats a start.
I thought about the neoprene sleeve. I could maybe fit my ringke in there too. The concern there was that i have 2 pieces (phone and cover) that I could easily drop in a puddle...
Hello rootSU, I am looking for this kind of bag/sleeve/pouch thingy.
I was looking for a horizontal keep-safe-pouch, like it was the original ASUS nexus 7 accessory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEqJErYwIoM
So my options are limited to a pouch only for carrying that should have an insert hole on the side of the device. I do not want to use my phone with any kind of rugged/rubber/plastic protection that actually impairs the feeling the actual phone surface gives.
So far had zero luck.
The closest hits were:
PDAir Leather Wallet Pouch for Motorola Google Nexus 6 XT1103 (Black/Red Stitch)
Artwizz Universal Wallet Case für Smartphone, schwarz
The problem is that I do not need this wallet pockets at all.
If you find anything keep us posted please.

Are you sure you can dial 911 without SIM, please double check that. Law here say the phone without SIM should not be able to dial emergency services. This was due to high percentage of false reports and makes sense when you think about it.
You can have any SIM, even deactivated one to call 911, or in our case also 112.

I never actually tested it. when it boots up there is a little message saying there's no SIM and it can only be used for emergency calls. how would I test it without actually calling 911? I will put my old deactivated SIM card in just in case, thanks

@rootSU
here's a couple ideas, not exactly what your looking for but may be of interest...
I have this neoprene case, you can put a TPU style case or a flip case on the N6 and it will still fit in here with a little room to spare, you could even add a piece of hard plastic on the inside for added screen protection (the hard plastic dividers they make for paper binders works great):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NZ2GB4E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
this is another case I have, same idea as above but it's a pretty snug fit with my flip case on:

You can try dialing 911 without a SIM. I am 99% sure it won't work, so you have almost nothing to feel scared about. You can let it ring once and hang up if you achieve a connection.
The message emergency calls appears every time, with or without SIM, but here in EU it does not work, I have tried it

Actually I did and if u go to the beginning which I will underline for u. This case protects from falls, and its just about similar to the uag case but without the back. I dropped by device a few times with this case on and no damage to the device. I even had the phone in my back pocket with case on it and landed on it when falling with no issues. No need to be rude. I read the op and even underline the parts your looking for that matches this case.

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately I need all of the "wants" in a single case. So rugged like uag but with a flip / cover for the screen.

I own the bumper too, it's actually the least protective one I own. It has an open back and almost no front lip. Almost every case for this device covers more of the device. The title of the thread is" rugged flip case'. A bumper is not a case and certainly not a rugged case. It obviously doesn't have a front flap either. He specifically requested a case with a hard back, the bumper has no back. That's why it seemed like you were trolling to me, because it seems to be the exact opposite of the op. My bad I guess.

Anyway, I'm a case freak and I have found nothing like this, I want the same thing. I'm pretty sure I've looked at every case on amazon, amazon Japan, and alibaba. Plus the obvious places like casefanatic, etc.
I think your best bet is a dual layer case with a built in screen protector and an armband so it doesn't fall.

HI Everyone,
Ive tried a leather case - didint like it as you have to flip open flaps to access it and makes phone calls akward.
Ive tried an alloy case - you have to open it to use it and use the keyboard
Silicon Case - bad experience using these because I used one on my old Nokia N73 and it still dented the housing when it was dropped.
Now, does anyone know where to get a crystal clear plastic hard case that has 2 parts, one to cover the front and one to cover the back whicl still getting access to the screen. I know the screen wont be protected but a screen protector will do the job of preventing scratches. Also, a swivel belt clip screw mount on the back will be nice too,
I know there are some for the Wizard, but I havent seen any for the Hermes yet. This case will be ideal as you get all the access to the device and you dont hide the beauty of it behind leather and alloy like in other cases.
Any help will be appreciated

Don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I just had a look on eBay and there aren't any listed there. I would have thought that if anybody was manufacturing such a case that they would be available on FleaBay.
I posted an almost identical post requiring the same thing not so long ago- no repsonses as of yet!
These are widely available for many other 'slider' phones but not yet for our one.
Ive sent two request to Boxwave. Their response is need more request.
I have been looking for a Crystal Case before I even got my 8525. I love this type of case. Sadly though it doesn't exist yet.
If you guys gohere and request an Active Case maybe we will have one soon. Note you must select Active Case because the web page loads with a check mark next to the ClearTouch Anti-Glare and that's not the same.
yep, i put in a request.
this type of case will be ideal as it will show the sleek lines of the tytn/jasjam, protect it, and allow keyboard access without unclipping anything.
what could be simpler....?
i think the best bet is going to be check with boxwave to see when they get it, i personally did not like the crystal clear on my 8125 it just felt wrong i gave it to one of my coworkers

Wouldnt that case cover the proximity sensor???
I have been using it for about 1.5 weeks with my Tmob TP2. The bottom cover is a little tricky, but it works pretty good. I took the back clip off and put the plug in. I mainly keep it in my shirt or my pants pocket.
Got one today
I got one today and is does seem pretty sturdy. It has the feeling of soft leather or neoprene over hard plastic covering most of the edges and then a mesh on the sides for griping. as one person mentioned you have have the clip on or off which is nice. It does seem really bulky when I have it clipped in the inside of my front jeans pocket. I'm still trying to decide if I want to keep it or get something else but I do think it is pretty nice.

It looks like it will, so a little drilling might be required. I have one coming in the mail, so I'll let you know if it does.
I saw this case at my local T-Mobile store. It was too bulky and interfered too much with the number keys when the screen was flipped up. T-Mobile sales a really nice soft gel like shell with all the right holes cut out for the T-Mobile version of the TP2 (including one for the proximity sensor). It costs about $12 +/-.

Best part it's in NJ, very close to me
When you say "It was too bulky and interfered too much with the number keys when the screen was flipped up" do you mean its got a cover that protects the screen too?
Yes. It's the same type as the BodyGlove, but without the clip, feels more rubbery, and isn't quite as thick. It still gets in the way of the number keys when tilting the screen, but not as much since it's a little thinner. I can actually still use the number keys with this case, where as with the bodyglove I couldn't.

You will def have to drill a little for the proximity sensor, but other than that, it fits really well, and gives a little better grip. It does make the phone a little thicker, but it protects it well.

If not, have you seen it sold anywhere online?
Yes, that's the one.
I just bought the t-mobile soft gel case for my touch pro 2 and it fits pretty well, Doesn't block the proximity sensor. So for the price , 12.99 + tax, I recomend it.
Glad it worked out for you. I've had the case for over a week now and love it!
Updated BodyGlove Case Coming Soon!
I have been working with BodyGlove on a redesign of the TP2 case and I will be getting a factory prototype in the next week to ten days. From what I am told the main difference is it will have the cutout for the proximity sensor.
Make sure you keep your receipt. I would guess that T-Mobile will replace it with the updated version since the original was technically defective. If you have trouble with T-Mo then contact BodyGlove directly since they know about the problem and are coming out with a fix.
As for the thinner GEL type case, I tried it today and didn't like it as much as the BG version since it seemed to be easy to dislodge the the lower shell middle clips. Within a few minutes I noticed that I had to bump the center clips back in place more than once. It also seemed to interfere with the slide a little, something the BG does not do.
I would have to vote for the BG (updated one) as the better case since the rigid shell fits and stays on better. Yes, the BG is a little bulkier but I would have to guess that it would provide pretty good protection in the event of gravity assisted boo-boo.
Regards,
Gordo
Body Glove in a cradle.
I love my BG case. I got it a couple of days ago. All I had to do was drill a small hole for the proximity sensor, which btw is an easy fix. I wonder if there is a cradle that will fit it now that it's a lot thicker.
I think I'd have a better luck making my own. I think a triangular wedge with a lip/edge on one the sides would work best since I'm planning to have the keyboard open while it's charging. I'll post pics (probably on a different thread). What do you guys think?

I emailed BG about this the other day and they couldn't tell if this was a mistake, a bad batch, or what... so they said they would send me a new one to see if it was better (this was before i saw your thread).
Also, there is a hole on the BACK cover that the BG case blocks, but the gel of same type don't. Someone said it was a noise mic. (I don't know).
For those of you that drilled... was it hard to keep the material from wanting to tear or fray? How did you go about it?

It wasn't hard at all. I just got a small drillbit and I used a dremel tool. You can't even tell that I "modified" it.
Hi, this is my first thread so far I've been doing a lot of research about my phone, figured it was a good deal, and purchased the Tmobile version. I've been looking for a case even before I bought it, but it seems there isn't a perfect case out there simply because of the sliding keyboard. Well I was just using my TP2 about an hour ago and as I was using the stylus to scroll down in opera, I heard "SCRAPE!" ...my ears said "WTF!?!?! NO!!!!" and i quickly realized what had just happened. Never thought it was possible but whatever. Anyways, I've had the phone for 6 days or so and I plan to exchange it tomorrow.
This has definitely motivated me to find a case and screen protector and end the headache. So I've came up with the following from reading some threads the past hour, but I want to be sure before I order. So far I have this case
http://cgi.ebay.com/Clear-Hard-Skin...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item45ef91bf67

It was 2000 the first time I experienced that. It was a palm m500 and a little piece of dust got on the tip of my stylus. I didn't hear it so much as I felt the friction, but my reaction was much the same. I haven't gone without a screen protector since.
As to the included screen protector, use it if it works for you, but you'll typically find better durability in popular protectors like the boxwaves you linked to or clarivues. The clarivue that I put on my Palm TX in 2005 is still on it, and still looks good.
The thing I worry about with a lot of those no name brand cases on ebay is how well do they really fit? The last thing you want is to have them falling off. I don't know if my fear is well-founded or not, but I didn't really want to gamble on it. But as far as TMo goes, I'm not sure what to tell you. Boxwave actually has a pretty cool soft case called the praetorian crystal slip, but not for the TMo version. Seidio seems like a nice quality joint, but they don't seem to make their innocase for the TMo version either.
Edit: I suppose you could check this thread out.
I had the acrylic case with screen protector and I removed it shortly after purchasing. The porblem I had is that the screen protector is superficial and although it works sometimes when I typed certain virtual keys another part of the screen protector would also bend down on my press and caused for a different near by character to be pressed. Eventually I got rid of it and just purchased a seperate screen protector.
I really am looking for quality though for a case, just want something that's not too big or will not hinder usage of the phone. I've heard a lot about the ghost armoring and all. I'm considering it, but that will not save a phone from a fall or anything like that.
Consider an all-body protector (such as zagg or bodyguardz), combined with a pouch or holster case that you remove the device from to use it.
This is my preferred method, so my TP2 is well protected when it's not in use, and I'm completely unhindered when I am using it (but still with scratch protection).
Note that the protectors need to be applied very slowly and carefully to make sure they're lined up well and properly stuck down around the edges.

I have the same clear hard plastic case and absolutely love it. I've tried the body glove case, and had some issues with sliding the keyboard in and out. I just use the screen protector that came with the phone, and the clear hard plastic case. No problems at all, though I still have to take the case off every once in a while to clean it, but you'd have to do that with any case really. Get a lot of compliments on it.

The bodyglove one didn't seem to snap on correctly, and all the other ones I've seen fit so tight that it tends to seperate the screen portion from the keyboard portion...no issues with fitment for the tmobile version? Can you post a picture of how it looks with the clear case?
I just ordered some phantom skinz, I'll report back when they get here.

I think it fits better than the body glove case. Plus, it looks way better. I've had mine for a while now with no problems. Even take it off a bit to clean it up, and no issues. Check my old thread out...Have pics on post #5.

I was searching around and could not find a gel/TPU type clear case for the G1...for those of you who do not know...here is one example of a Nexus One case like what I would want:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Soft-Case-TPU...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item746a91e417
I know they do not show a completely clear one, but that is the material/type of case I would like. It is not like a typical silicone case -it is slightly like a hard case being that it does not bend as easily and it is not floppy at all.
Any ideas?
Heres the problem that I see...
How would you open the keyboard with that cover overlapping the front of the phone? That would probably be the reason those style covers don't exist for the G1.
As my fellow Oregonian said.. Soft cases and a slide keyboard won't really work.. If you look at the hard shells you'll see how the screen has it's own little part that clips on.. soft shells wrap instead of clip on...
I fail to see why they could not have a separate piece to put on the screen...?
If there is no such case... then could someone recommend a thin, yet tough, hard case? (preferably clear)
soft cases can't clip onto the screen part that has to slide up...
but here's something i found with decent reviews for the other colors.. clear hasn't been rated yet

Yeah I understand what you mean and thanks for that info...but - I was thinking not of a soft case 'clipping' onto the screen but you could slip a cover over it or around it -I am SURE there is some way to do it....
I think this is what you are looking for:

LOL WOW THANK YOU!!!! How did you find that ? it should not be labeled as silicone (I think)..... wow that is exactly what I am looking for! I knew it was possible.... any way - I wish it didnt cost so much, the others I see like it(on other phones) is significantly cheaper (like under $5.00 with shipping included).... If I cannot find any cheaper ones I will order that one...
Thanks again, I cant believe you found just what I was looking for...

yea that case is rocking . I as well was looking for something like this! Thanks!! hey erebusting did you order it? did ya like it?
I ordered the clear one, and it came in yellowish like it was old or like someone was smoking around it or something.... the seller gave me a refund because he said they had no more, but I think that all the clear ones were just as yellow ? who knows....
also when you hold the phone in portrait mode on the top right and left corners of the keyboard section the case left a small gap on each side maybe about 1-2 millimeters as if it was slipping off...
Other than all that I liked it, but would not use it because it makes my phone look yellow / ugly... if I had a case like that with these flaws fixed then I would use it.

LMAO...Reading this was funny for some reason
Can you post some pictures? And would you recommend it? I am looking for a new case for my phone, and this one is one that I am considering
I had this case. I had a screen protector on, and the extra height of the screen protector made the screen portion of the case slip off. If you don't use a screen protector, it might work for you. I bought a Seidio case and never looked back. Super thin, rugged plastic. Comes in black so it blends into the phone.

zinite, I understand that, but see I do also have a screen protector on but the section of the case which goes on the screen is fitting fine, the section for the body is the part I have the complaint about. I will definately check out some Seidio cases now that you have mentioned that.
SolemnWishing, Here are some pictures of the case next to a clear hard case (which is actually clear and not yellow...)
Ace42, glad you got a laugh! haha...BTW I am wondering why you were laughing though, kind of odd to me ATM...
WOW! that case is really yellow. i was thinking about getting one thinking it wont be that yellow. but that is definitely gross smoker yellow
Dang... it looks like someone left that out in the sun for like a year or something..
Guess you know what happens to these cases when you have em for awhile... I've long given up on G1 cases: with a simple screen protector you should be on your way. I love the feel of the back of the G1, and a case would only screw that up.

I also love the feelings of the G1 without a case, but I have dropped my previous phones too many times to take that chance... haha
Any ways... Those pictures are from the same day of receiving that case, so it must be some fault on the seller....
its really a disappointment since there are no other cases (that I can find that is) like that for the G1...
any other recommendations/ideas?
Looking for something to protect the body/mid-frame of my note 3, since the S-view case leaves it somewhat exposed. i've seen pictures of similar on the web - but cant find any to buy.
anyone using something like that? any ideas?
in need of one also.
Hi I am in need of this also. Don't want a case as it makes the phone bulky but want to protect the sides for when I have it stood up in car etc. My old s3 sides got scratched before and don't want this happening to my note 3. I need like a skin sticker around the edges. Pw did you find any or if anyone knows of any please
anyone using something like that? any ideas?
Thanks Azz
Slickwraps? Make sure you get the full body one. I ordered the back only expecting it to come with the sides also, it didn't.

i've had those on other phones, and they were all terrible.
these stickers work with S-view cases, which was my concern - i wanted the parts the case didnt cover, protected.
since I am not a fan of s-view cover ( though I bought one ), I always use one of these;
