Are there bumpers for the Alpha? All the ones I found are cases. I have an after-market extended battery and a normal case won't fit. It's slippery with the naked metal frame. I'm looking for a soft bumper (TPU or silicone) to cover only the metal frame to have a better grip.

Is anybody using this case? Comments about it?
Thx.
I use the PDAir case.
I chose it over other flip cases because the TD2 does not reach the outer edge of case. Since the phone fits 'recessed' into the case if you drop it (and it hits the surface on it's edge) the leather will cushion the impact.
Other cases leave the edge around the phone exposed in a fashion that would allow the impact to be taken directly by the phone...even though it is in the case.
Short review of PureGear Kickstand case & holster. Had this case for about a week now and think it is good. Would rate it 4/5.
Pros: Holds phone snug in the case and fits firm in the holster. Holster clip is really sturdy as well. Swivels 180 degrees and has soft suede like interior to help protect screen. Phone slides in face in. Rubberized texture of the case as almost the perfect balance between smooth and friction IMO. I don't like when cases are too rubbery or too smooth. Kickstand is cool. It slides out and down easily. It also snaps into position easily as well and feels sturdy. I don't get a cheap feeling from this case.
Cons: Case only covers the left and right side of the phone. Wish it covered top and bottom as well. Because of this, I sometimes switch to another silicone case that I have when I want more protection. It does cover the corners just enough for protection though. Also, sliding case into holster is a slight pain. There is a lot of friction between the case and holster so you have to use some force to slide phone into holster. I guess this can be considered a pro however since phone will not slide out easily.
Paid $25 for it on Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/290733237844?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
The PureGear website has it for $30. http://www.pure-gear.com/shop-by-device/samsung/kickstand-case-holster-for-samsung-galaxy-note.html
Hey Hey...
so i am on a mission to find a bumper for my Note 3..
basically i want the look of the Ultra Thin Aluminum cases but in TPU/Rubber material..
i don't like the way the TPU bumpers cover the back a little.. i want it to just cover the Frame..
kinda of like the <gulp> iphone bumpers.. http://www.aliexpress.com/item-img/0-2MM-Ultra-Thin-Bumpers-Frame-Bumper-for-iphone-5-Slim-Soft-Flexible-TPU-Hard-Case/751335062.html
Thanks ; >
Its difficult to find one that won't cover the back at all since the edges of the battery cover is sitting flush with the chrome trim. The closest I got was modding a thin 0.3mm case and cut out most of the back.

The problem with most super ultra thin case is its made of plastic so it doesn't offer any side grip. You could put a skinomi clear skin on it for grip but I decided to just apply the skinomi skin directly to the chrome of the phone only and will just use my modded one for back up.

Just received this case in the mail today and had to get some pics of it right away. This is a very well made case. It is a TPU case with a hard plastic cover attached to the back of it. It has a nicely textured design on the back. The sides have a bit of a recess to make it easy to grip and good protection at the corners. All cutouts on top, bottom, and for camera are perfect. The hard plastic back has a slightly raised X shape for better strength. The case works great with the film screen protector that I am using. This case has a pretty square shape on the back sides, it doesn't show the tapered side edges of the phone do to how it's made. The inside is fitted to the edges though. When the phone is resting on the back you can make it wobble, this is do to the raised Poetic "P" emblem that is raised. My Samsung wireless fast charger works well with this case too.The Poetic brand of cases seem to be very well made, with what appears to be great protection in thinner designs, while being stylish and a decent price. This is my second Poetic case as I have their Affinity also.
I'm searching for as thin as possible silicone cover. It can't be completely clear because of yellowing. Must fit very well like this delivered with Xiaomi Mi6 - you can barely see it on the phone.
Inb4:
Peel is rather plastic than silicone and it is way to expensive for such cover.
Cafele has some cases on Amazon. One version is identical to PEEL. It's .35 mm thick and is the PP material. Their other case is a .6 mm thick silicone. Neither one is completely clear, though the silicone would probably be the most resilient to yellowing.
They're like $7-$8 on Amazon right now.
