So I decided to try out this new Incipio case called the Area. I went with the frosted version because it's a cool contrast for the black phone, although I like the case so much I might go and try out the black version of it as well!

So when I first got the case, it was a little beefier than I thought from the pictures on Amazon...but it's not a bad thing. The corners are reinforced so that it's definitely protective if it falls. I actually dropped it off my counter in the bathroom and it landed on the floor and protected it fine! (I never drop my phones, so I was lucky I had a beefier case on it this time!!)
The buttons are awesome! They aren't shaped like buttons, but rather, each button has a little raised mark of what it does. The sides of the case are completely flat, but once you're near a button, you feel the outline of it's shape. And on top of it, they're really easy to press, which is hard to find in a gel/tpu case like this.
The frost matte back feels cool, and all of the cutouts are shaped perfectly.
I've got the spigen screen protector on it that wraps around the curve of the device, and there's no issue with this case pulling it up on mine, so that's another plus.
All in all, this is an awesome case for the price.

This case isn't on Incipio website. I believe it's a bit of branding trickery. I ordered one anyways to check it out.

Hi, i´m new here and I have a doubt.
My old phone was a smt5600 but the first thing a become very used was the joystick.
So i find this silicone skin with joystick(central button) protector but is more ugly than the devil and maybe brings more trouble than protect

the second option is this
Black Rubberized Protector
the second option, ins´t hard, so I liked more
if the first one really protect my front buttons I will use.
For screen I will use bestskinsever and for the keyboard I need find something to protect too if possible.
If anyone can give some opinions I will like
Sorry for the english or noob question.
tks
I use something just like your second photo. I like it alot...it makes my phone a tad thicker, but the black looks nice and the grippy surface is great. It doesn't slip out of your hand so much.
Yea, me too. I use a blakc "rubberized crystal" cover that i got from this website
www.pocketsolution.com
and it works fantastic. it does make the phone a littl ebit bigger, but the protection that it has is well worth it, ive drpped my phone onto concrete a few times and nothing happened.
it usually runs around like 14 bucks or so, but i have codes for discounts on pocketsolution.com for free shipping and for like 20% off. send me a pm if you are interested.
That link doesn't work. It's an empty URL with ads and stuff.
...but you can get those black grippy covers on E-Bay for like five bucks. Mine was ten shipped. Not too bad for what you get! Just search for "8525 black case" or something.
tks, I bought the second option.
I have the Seidio Active with kickstand and holster. I really like the way it feels in the hand the protection that it offers. I am having one issue and I don't know if there is a solution to it. The soft inner case is one heck of a dust and pet hair magnet. Is there anything that can be put on it that can reduce to amount of dust it attracts?
I have the same case, minus kickstand.
The neverending complaint of silicon jackets is that they collect and hold on to lint, dust, grime, so on. I'm sure you could experiment and find something that could be sprayed on such as a spray on clear coat, but being flexible I don't think it would stay. The best advice I can offer, and it's not going to be of much help, is to just get used to it. I painted the snap on plastic piece when I was refinishing a couple firearms and had extra paint mixed up. Turned out better then I though and not the colored case drawls the eye and you don't notice the lint.

I am sure that there are a lot of people with a lot of different solutions. I found one that a friend mentioned and it seems to be working for me. I used some glass wax on the silicon and so far so good.

I've nver even heard of glass wax. Is it wax for glass? Seems kinda counter intuitive, maybe just called that because its clear?
I don't know if it is different from other wax but yes it is for glass. I have used it for a while now on touchscreens as well as my glasses. It reduces noticable smudges and fingerprints..
Like this?

I've just got the Roxfit Slimline Book Case from Amazon today, alas, no phone as yet! Its cheaper than the official Sony case, I paid £13.50, but is well made with a quality feel to it. Obviously I cant comment on fit or durability but Ive always had my phones in cases and this is one of the more premium feeling cases ive owned. Well worth the money based on its build quality.
Inside the front cover the material has a soft rubbery feel that grips onto the screen whilst closed to stop it moving around (roughly tested with my iphone 5 in the housing). The back of the case also folds away, similar to the official case so the phone can be placed in the charging dock. The outer material is similar to the apple iPad cover. The clear plastic shell that holds the phone has a thin foam layer in to absorb any shock and prevent any scratches on the rear glass panel.
I've still got a week wait for my phone before I can test it thoroughly.

I apologise for the size of the images and rotation!
So, after wanting to try a wrap for so long, and seeing how it doesn't exactly provide the ultimate protection that I wanted for my G3, I combined a few elements to come up with a setup that works perfectly for me and looks nice at the same time. First, I got the Tech Armor Ultraclear Ballistic Glass screen protector. It fits perfectly, I still get maximum input, and barely notice it's there.
Then, I got the Teak Wood wrap from Slickwraps. Finally, in order to protect the corners and sides, but still be able to appreciate the wrap, I got a bumper case from Nillkin. Love the combination and the bumper case is exactly what I was looking for, for a little added protection. The case is very snug, a perfect fit with all the right cutouts in place.

Looks pretty sweet and great idea with the wrap on back cover I like it and should protect against scratches, doesnt take away the nice design LG have done like a full cover would.
Another benefit would be more efficient wireless charging(if charging with case on and using stock LG wireless charger)since no bulky cover, looks to me like LG wireless charger would easily fit between that bumper, could be wrong though.
The Nillkin Bumper is working 100% with wireless charging (at least with the Nokia DT910)
Hello guys,
after a few weeks / months with the other case I already tested (can be found in this forum), I now present another review.
As the case was in stock, it only took 4 days (weekend included) from order to shipment, St. Tropez to Germany.

The packaging is as elegant & classy as always, a nice red and black box, inside you find a red pouch with the case in it.
It's a case with a vertical flap, style is the „Horizon“ series, color „Autruche Nero“. Lots of different leathers and colors are available, so everyones taste is covered. The case looks very good, a little shiny due to the chosen finish, front and back are covered with the autruche (ostrich) pattern, and that feels really nice.
On the inside (back as well as the clasp) the Noreve logo is embossed.
The S7 fits quite tight at the beginning, within 2 weeks of testing it widened a bit but still holds the phone in place just perfect.
There are cutouts on the sides for the volume buttons (left) and the power/standby button (right). On the bottom, headphone jack and microUSB port are accessable, and the speaker is considered with 3 little pinholes, too.
On the backside of the case there's a cutout for the LED / flash as well as the camera.
Overall:
I'm really happy with the case, it's build very solid and already survived a few drops without damage.
I know I might repeat myself, but I can only recommend you having a look a the huge portfolio Noreve offers, they've never disappointed me.
For further questions or suggestions, just go ahead and ask
Otherwise I wish a nice day,
from Germany
