Just wanted to let you guys know that the "ZENUS Galaxy S2 Case 'Air Jacket'" does fit on the att version of the galaxy s2. It doesn't cover the secondary mic but it does have extra cutouts that are needed for the international edition ill post some pics so you can see what I'm talking about. So far I really like the case it hardly adds any weight or thickness to the phone. They also have it in black incase you don't like the white. Case on Amazon

The back piece is "leather" its a thin layer that the they stuck on the back of the case. I wouldn't consider it leather but it does add a nice design to the case. Im still satisfied with the case regardless
I have a soft jelly case on my Note 10.1 that goes over the corners and covers them. What is the closet good brand version I can get for this 12.2. If nothing similar, what is a top contender for a TPU case? Would this be my best choice so I can wait, but people say they are heavy though, see here Thanks!

I found that the best suited for my needs was the Fosmon DURA-FRO Ultra Slim Fit Case Protective Shell sold by Sfplanet found on Ebay and Amazon.

The silmist TPU case can be found on amazon/ebay.
It's a semi transparent TPU case with an X shape on the back,
multiple colors available and dirt cheap since it is made in China.
I'm using one right now.
It's slim and the semi transparency looks good with the unit.
It also covers the buttons with thin TPU so the bezel buttons wont be scratch while still easy to press. :good:
The best TPU rugged is Otterbox

Hey guys gals im having a hard time deciding on what case to use with my limited edition blue pixel XL. I'm steering towards clear TPU or even Google's clear Snap-on.
Would you mind posting pictures of what use on yours?
Thanks!

Ordered a slickwraps distressed tan leather back, probably wont install it.
Bear motion gray, save it for later.
Goospery Yellow tpu, once the blue back novelty fades.
Nillkin brown and gray. This will be my main. Brown is like an already yellow clear tpu
Atleast 7 clear ultra think slim (yea right) clear tpu..
Xtemeguard full body skin, will most probably install the back, as these phones get scratched looking at them..

How do do slickwraps naked matte compare to xtremeguard back protector. Anyone has any experience?
Thanks in advance.
I've went through:
Slickwraps naked glossy
Slickwraps naked matte
Rhinoshield Bumper
Cimo Clear Case
Spigen Clear case
The slickwraps are very difficult to install, suggests using their video (which doesn't exist, by the way; they have install videos for other devices, none for the pixel) and I couldn't deal with it. Material felt pretty decent, would recommend the matte over glossy.
Cimo is good, like the large single cutout on the back for camera / sensors. Doesn't have the beveled edges of the Spigen.
Spigen is also decent, feels better in the hand than the Cimo because of the edges, but it's already yellowing around the inside edges after 2 weeks.
Rhinoshield is currently my favorite. It definitely adds a good bit of width to the phone, but at least the blue isn't hidden or dulled.
Not super pleased with the clear cases to be honest, the blue is quite dull through the clear TPU.
Have a Caseology Waterfall on order, should be here tomorrow. Considering ordering the Nillkin Clear and maybe a couple other clear <$10 cases off amazon until I find one that I don't think dulls the blue so much.
I'm using the red shield clear TPU the one that's open cut out for the sensor camera LED section it's really nice doesn't add Too Much bulk to the phone still much too thick for my liking and when it's brand new it's a little slippery
I use it til my orders get delivered
I used the Spigen Liquid Crystal for a few weeks but I could tell that it was starting to yellow. Felt great though. Using the Ringke Fusion right now (smoke borders) and that looks pretty decent and still shows off the blue back.
Caseology Waterfall came in. Definitely my favorite of the clear cases. It's quite grippy compared to the Cimo and Spigen. Cutouts are good (one long cutout by the back camera so no focus issues).
Still dulls the blue a little, but I'm resigned to the fact that all of them will do that. Probably going to stop looking for cases now.

Got pictures?
It's definitely hard to choose a clear case which can protect the phone while falling down to the ground.
So an issue was brought to my attention yesterday, my current clear case has two cut outs for cam and led, when using the flash taking pictures it crates a a halo glare on the photos.
I remedied this by cutting the center between the led and cam and no longer interferes.

Sorry, got a bit busy.
Potato quality pictures, but all I have is an old S5. The corner shot with those 3 bumper edges are on every corner, not sure if it's for grip on the phone or drop protection. Cutouts are all really nice.
The buttons are really great, better than all the other cases I have. Fit right on and are very clicky. Kind of like diztronic buttons if you've ever had their TPU cases.
It's more rigid than the Spigen liquid crystal, probably more in line with the Ultra hybrid. It's bendy still, not a hard case, but stronger feeling than the liquid crystal I have. Wouldn't worry about any regular, non-extreme case drops with the case on. Feels really solid.
There is a little edge along the back where it has that little cutout curve by the rear glass and then goes down as a rectangle along the bottom and edges. It's kind of like a plastic seam. It could bug some people, but I grip my phone by the edges so never really feel it.
Bear Motion, in Gray
Generic Ultra Slim Thin Clear TPU from eBay 0.8mm thick
Slickwraps Natural Series Distressed Tan Leather
Generic Clear Hard PC SnapOn back protector
It seems that Ringke FUSION is a good option for real blue, clear back with bumper protect, isn't it
Catman Gold trim transparent case
Ordered on Jun 20th, shipped Jun 21st and delivered on Jul 11th
I was looking for a cheap transparent bumper protective case. I liked the idea that this case had a gold trim that would standout with most skins or the naked midnight black phone itself. I was suspicious that the gold trim would not look nearly as shiny metallic as in their advert pictures but I was dead wrong. Only time will tell if the gold trim cracks or peels. During my initial inspection it doesn't look like there is any way the gold can peal as it's completely embedded into the plastic.
The case was applied over a dBrand Mahogany skin but I suspect it would look even better with the midnight black naked OP5 or any black skin as it would help make the gold trim stand out even more. As can be seen in the attached pictures only the power and volume rocker buttons are covered by the case. That is where the case is thinnest and may wear out over time.
There appears to be plenty of room for the Orzly tempered glass screen protector that I've ordered as the lip of the case doesn't cover the 3D curved screen edge or the OnePlus factory applied screen protector. I'll add a comment about the Orzly tpsp when it's delivered. In general the cover is thin so hardly adds any bulk to the phone unlike the usual bumper cases I've used. In fact it looks so good I'm going to leave it on all the time, rather than just occasionally as I'd originally planned. Only time will tell if that will change.
The case doesn't interfere with any of the bottom ports (speaker, charger, headphone jack ... etc). The cover is every so slightly skewed around the back camera and flash holes but is only noticeable on close inspection rather than being an obstruction. The covers on the power and volume rockers are pleasantly non-intrusive. That is compared to my much more expensive Spigen bumper case on my previous phone.
This case also included a plastic screen protector that is tinted blue I assume to be anti-glare. I'll not be using that screen protector in lieu of the Orzly tpsp.

Wouldn't the transparent part of the case yellow over time?
I don't know, only time will tell. Any way it's only $8 USD so no big loss. Have you had yellowing with a clear case before?
looks cool,
i ordered the black version. should arive soon

Oh yea. With the Ringke fusion for my OPO. The borders were TPU I think, looked really dirty after about 2 months.
I bought a Spigen Neo Hybrid Crystal which I like a lot except the bulkiness which ruins the overall look compared to my generic 0.7mm thick clear TPU case. Is there any clear tpu case with a hard edge section that's still thin?
For my flat version. Have a look.
