Ok, so i've see a lot of great threads on cases and some really good reviews too and now my OCD is starting to kick in.
Which case is the best? I'm looking for something durable, light, and thin. Preferably TPU or some sort of soft and flexible material NOT silicone.
Pretty much i'm looking for the same case as what i had on my captivate, the mirage by bodyglove.
I've got a few different cases that i'm trying to decide between but i'm having a problem making the final decision.
I'm asking YOU, fellow SGS2-ers, to help me decide. Place your vote and leave a note (hey that rhymes!) and i will be sure to post a detailed review of the case if one hasn't been made already (or contribute to one that already exists)!
Thanks!
Here are the cases i am considering, in no particular order..
(sorry for all the links)

"Rubber Feel" Hard Case
http://www.amazon.com/AT-Samsung-Ga...BK/ref=sr_1_82?ie=UTF8&qid=1321285627&sr=1-82
I know a couple of these cases do not meet my own requirements but i have included them for the sake of others who might be considering the same.
And off we go!
Great roundup you've got there. I have the TPU-Case and love it, but hard to say it's the best without trying the others.
I would certainty recommend it though!
I've got the case mate barely there bushed aluminum and I really like it. I didn't think I would but I'm so. It's nice and thin and covers the phone well. It adds a little weight but to me it actually makes the phone feel better.

mine already broke by the volume rocker and the aluminum dents REALLY easily, its a very nice case though
I have this Incipio case:
http://www.myincipio.com/Samsung-Ga...-II-ATandT-NGP-Semi-Rigid-Soft-Shell-Case.asp
It is very nice quality, and fits perfectly. It does however have an small cutout for the international version's lanyard. It is really small though, so not too big of a problem. Some of the ones I have seen have the whole corner cutout for the international version (Ringke cases had this problem, which is why I did not choose that one). That seems like a huge problem to me, since if you drop it, the entire corner is exposed.
Hope this helps
I also have the Incipio and while it fits great (I did modify it to make a hole for the NC Mic), I'm not liking the extra effort required to turn the phone on or off. That action is already difficult enough with no case, but it's made even more difficult with the NGP.
Thanks for bringing to light this Incipio case. I just bought it. It looks like they fixed the problem with covered NC microphone. Now the cutout for it looks huge to fit AT&T and International version. Maybe they improved power button as well.

Thanks for linking that case, i haven't seen that one yet. I'll take a closer look at it and see if i can find a detailed review.
A quick google search led me to this good video review of the Incipio NGP (a TPU case). Looks to be a little dated though, the model they show on the Incipio webpage has a larger cutout for the NC mic and a color they didn't mention in the video. Still worth a look though.
Here's the video link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPJG6NEgj-M
I have a rearth case and am loving it, doesn't add much thickness or weight at all, u get 15 colors to choose from, doesn't collect dust, and has the hole for the 2nd mic. Overall very happy with this case.

In all my searching i have yet to find a true carbon fiber case. I've seen plenty of cases with a carbon fiber "design" but they are just regular TPU or skins.
Take a look at these if you just want that industrial look..

I was heavily considering the Rearth Ringke but i read about some people having trouble with the case splitting apart on them due to small drops (see the Ringke thread here) and i decided to go with the SGP Ultra Capsule instead. I might also pick up the TPU-Case from Amazon just for the sake of having something to compare the SGP against.
I get super slow shipping so i'll put some pictures up in a week or so.
I purchased a case from another vendor and was later contacted by Artech 21 to see if I would be interested in reviewing their cases. I agreed. I ordered the following cases from Amazon:
Mod edit: Sales link removed.
The case fits well. Not really my type of case, but for someone who wants protection without completely hiding the phone, it's a good choice.
Mod edit: Sales link removed.
This case fits well. Its also a nice looking case and provides good protection. The only drawback is that, in my opinion, the buttons are too stiff.
Mod edit: Sales link removed.
This case fits well and provides similar protection to the Dallas Lazer Series case. It looks pretty good, but in my opinion, isn't as nice looking as the Dallas Lazer Series case. The buttons work better on this case than the Dallas Lazer Series case. There was a minor finish imperfection on the "loop" at the bottom.
Mod edit: Sales link removed.
This case fits well, but is more difficult to put on the phone than the others. That's to be expected because it's very rugged. I think it would provide good protection if the phone was dropped, but I did not test it. It looks pretty good for a rugged case and isn't too bulky. It came with a glass screen protector, which is quite a bit narrower than the active area of the screen to get around the halo. I didn't install it, because I already have a screen protector, which I don't want to remove. I have yet to see a glass screen protector that covers the entire screen without a halo.
I received a $60 credit toward the purchase of all four cases. Despite that, my reviews are the same as if I had purchased them.

I saw a few OP5 "leaked" pictures with cases that had various accent colors around the top/bottom edges and camera hole. I really liked the one in gold. Thanks for the link.
Edit: I just ordered one with the gold trim for my Midnight Black 8GB/128GB OP5 also ordered today.
Are there any cases on Amazon in the US? I can't find any.

I agree that that web site sucks for clarity around selected the color you want. First and this is my assumption from the web site pictures, all the cases are actually transparent plastic/silicon but include accent colors on the top/bottom, trim colors on the camera/flash hole and on the buttons. This is backed their rambling product details description.
Assuming that is correct the color of your phone always shows with only the accents altering the look. So my phone is Midnight black and that web page allowed me to pick either a black or a gold trim color. That despite the gold trim photo shows a tan OP5 cover with gold trim. I'm expecting that I'll still get my desired black/gold look after applying the case.
Unfortunately for you, I can only see two trim color choices one black the other gold. This despite your desired blue included in some of the case photos. Thank goodness the case is so cheap or I would not have bought one. For me this case will likely only be temporary until the usual top brands make cases that I prefer and have in stock.
I like this case's transparent back as I can further customize the look. I have a clear backed bumper case on my current phone where I photoshopped a fitted picture of my favorite NBA team's logo that I printed then cut to fit inside the cover.

Oh, I didn't look very closely at whether it is opaque or transparent. If it is transparent, I may just have to do what you are suggesting with adding a picture in there of my choosing. I ordered the black one. I can report back once I receive it, which may take 2-3 weeks to arrive in the US. That red and black Otterbox case looks awesome too! Maybe someday I'll splurge on that one.

Still nothing on Amazon US, but Ebay now has the official Oneplus cases listed, as well as a bunch of other ones. None of them ship from within the US though so who knows on shipping time. Still wait and see at this point.
Hey guys,
Don't get me wrong, I will probably put a case on my phone too... but did you catch the Jerryrig Everything review of the OP5? It seems pretty resistant to scratches... only a razor actually managed to scratch the back of the device. Looks pretty robust.

Aye, at least they're planning to support it though. I always liked their screen protectors.
Hi all,
As most of you know, I've been testing out every case I can get my hands on. It's been more difficult this year, there doesn't seem to be as much choice and companies such as Spigen have really dragged their heels on getting cases out for this community. Here it is, my top 5 cases out at the moment which will do you proud.
1. Orzly Fusion Bumper
This case I've only had for a week or so and it's already risen to the top of my list. It's absolutely my favourite and I'll tell you why:
- Protects the case well.
- Adds extra grip to the phone.
- Combo's well with your favourite skin manufacturer (Xtreme, dBrand, Slick etc..)
Overall it's the best all round case, it's nowhere near as expensive as the official OnePlus stuff and it's my daily driver on the OnePlus 5.
2. Tudia OMNIX
Another latecomer to the party (in fact I've only just published the video on this one) but a fairly decent one. This case is my "if I'm going on a messy night out case."
What I mean by that, is that it provides excellent all round protection without completely compromising the use of the phone (like a flip case) It has a built in screen protector, which if used for longer stretches could get annoying and has port covers which makes the phone better protected against those accidental drops in beer.
3. Orzly Slim Stand Case
I'm rewarding Orzly here because of all the case manufacturers they seem to be the one taking risks on the OnePlus 5. Not only have they changed up their, FlexiCase, Wallet & Fusion designs they've produced an entirely new case for the OnePlus this year with the Slim Stand case.
The Slim Stand case make's it onto the list because it's not a case that I thought I'd like much when I saw it on Amazon. I ordered it, just so I could do a review and then probably stick it back in it's box. However to my surprise I've really enjoyed using this case. It's given me the functionality of a more traditional flip case, without the annoying "flip" element.
It feels really premium in the hand and uses the phones beauty and elegance to it's advantage. It's also a really handy case for those of you still playing Pokemon Go as you can use the stand to rest your finger through when you're out walking!
4. Spigen Rugged Armor
Spigen make it onto the list, even though they're main cases are still slated for release in September. Months after the phone was released! Imagine how much further they'd be up if they'd put some effort in!
Those of you which have had the Rugged Armor in the past know what to expect. It's premium at a reasonable price and it'll do what it says on the packaging, which is add extra grip and impact protection. It help's that it looks pretty nice also!
It can be said that you could probably get the Orzly FlexiCase for a little cheaper if you wanted to save some pennies.
5. OnePlus Silicone Red Case
I initially loved this case, but my love waned the longer I had it on the phone. This is very much a "showpiece" case with little utility, but if you've been racking up those referral points, already purchased the backpack then this would be my next choice. It feels super on the phone, adds some welcome colour- just don't leave it on for too long or it'll start to fade and feel tacky!
Thanks,
Let me know if you have any questions!

I'm trying to take into consideration cost vs effectiveness. At least for me, the Otterbox is far too expensive to make it worth purchasing over any of these cases!
Do you feel the ring on the back of the Orzly Slim Stand Case, prevents you from laying the phone down screen side up because it would make the phone 'uneven'?
I really don't like laying my phone down facedown. Seems counterintuitive in my head if I'm trying to protect the screen from scratches.
Also, does the ring on the back keep the phone from sliding in and out of your pocket smoothly?
^That first point is what stopped me from continuing to use my Spigen Style ring.

Bought Orzly Fusion Bumper thanks to your thread and I love it.
Going to try this from supcase OnePlus 5 Unicorn Beetle Pro Full-Body Rugged Holster Case -Black
With a build in screen protector and hoping that this works for me.
Here is a YouTube review
Any thoughts on ringke fusion..? Looks vfm to me..itnseems very close to spigen hybrid..
Hi All,
I'm Damaris, a professional phone case designer. Now i'm working on ROG 2 phone case design, and like to hear your voice about how to make it protective and cool to your phone.
The case is scheduled to be released by end of this month. Any idea is highly appreciated. Anyone who likes to be the early reviewer is also welcomed.
Sign me up, I'll give you as much feedback as you need!
I'd like it to have a protective lip around the screen, so you can lay it face down without damaging the screen.
Also personally I really DO NOT care for the RGB logo in the middle at the back... so I don't think a cutout would be necessary
In another thread I posted this picture, something like this would be awesome: https://imgur.com/0fCqjOR
Maybe a little thicker for that extra protection, like this, that would be cool: https://cdn.webshopapp.com/shops/25...amsung-galaxy-s10-plus-hoes-heavy-armor-t.jpg
I know it's for the S10 but still... I think I made my point. I have that type of case for most of my phones, it's grippy even with moist/wet fingers, it gives excellent protection and it's $5 to $12 depending on where you get it.
Thanks for your great ideas!
Thanks for your suggestions! Some of your suggestions are identical to my current design scheme such as protective lip around the phone. Besides, i have planned a set of goodies such as supportive skin, screen protector and other elements to match game style, in the hope to make the case protective and attractive.
Could you share the point in which you are interested for a game phone case?
Could you share the point in which you are interested for a game phone case?
I'm not sure I understand the question....
All I want is a good protective case... Nothing flashy!
All current cases suck for protection.... And all those dumb cutouts do not make sense...
It should have a lip and substantial thickness to the corners and back similar to the aerocase the phone came with. It saved my phone a bunch of times dropped (twice at chest level and one time it bounced three times.)
Only problem I have with the aerocase is it leaves the sides of the phone exposed.
Please make one with substantial coverage. cutouts for the ports. The triggers can be left exposed but not the power button and volume rockers. And should still work with the cooler.

Your concern would be taken into consideration for my design. Thanks again.
By the way, i have got lots of valuable suggestions on Reddit. We are speeding up the design and manufacture process to make it public as early as possible. Are you interested in an early reviewer?

Thanks for your valuable suggestions. What you suggested is exactly included in my design, which features:
(1) Raised lip for screen and body protection
(2) Reinforced corner protection
(3) Noctilucence effect
(4) More for you to explore...
I would be interested in reviewing this case early if you are still offering.

Your concern would be taken into consideration for my design. Thanks again.
By the way, i have got lots of valuable suggestions on Reddit. We are speeding up the design and manufacture process to make it public as early as possible. Are you interested in an early reviewer?

Hi All,
I'm Damaris, a professional phone case designer. Now i'm working on ROG 2 phone case design, and like to hear your voice about how to make it protective and cool to your phone.
The case is scheduled to be released by end of this month. Any idea is highly appreciated. Anyone who likes to be the early reviewer is also welcomed.

Hi Damaris,
Up to be an early reviewer .
Design suggestion -
Design no. 1 -
Recreating an aero case design in tpu material.
This will have a rubber bumper case kind of feeling. Check Image 1.

On the back side where its empty on the attached image, the case you'll design will have an exact overlay of the web/cutout design as the aerocase.

Also keep the case in matte design tpu material.
Keep port cutouts same as the case in the image, its the generic tpu case available out.

For exact cutout for mics and other ports you can contact me as I have this case.
Also Please make sure there is a lip in front to avoid contact of screen with flat surface.
P.S. - Can you share the images of current WIP design here?
Ribbed sides for extra grip maybe?
Just check if there is anyway you can design the case to make it water resistant

Thanks for your interest in reviewing this product. It's scheduled to be released by end of this month, and will be available for sale on Amazon next month.
I will send you an invitation message here. Keep an eye on it.

Sure. You must be an excellent designer! It's in my plan. I made it on the left and right sides for comfortable gripping and to prevent phone slipping.

Thanks for your query.
We have waterproof, dustproof and antidrop cases for iPhone series and Samsung series. Since ROG 2 user base is small, it is to be determined. Anyway, it's subject to market/customer requirements.
The design involved by this post is also driven by customer emails.
A link or pictures please?
I'd just like a good cover case that also protects the front and isn't big/thick/heavy.
Rog Phone 2 cases
I hope this is still applicable, i believe you should develop at least 2 cases for the Rog phone 2 as some persons bought it for gaming and others for the killer specs
Gaming - a slimmer transparent case with cutouts in black similar to the aero but in tpu that still shows off all the gaming aspects of the phone including logo and reflective lines on the back while offering some protection with reinforced corners. The black cutouts could have a transparent layer under it, in case the phone falls on an uneven surface, the back glass wouldn't break. ~$15
Specs - this could either have a single cutout for the logo or none at all and should be a bit thicker than the gaming case with more heavy duty protection, it could also include a stand/built in screen protector which can be removable if users want another one ~$25
both should have a lip at the front to protect the screen and good cutouts for all the ports/triggers/grips at the side and vent while not preventing the squeeze feature from activating.
There could also be a third case that combines the best aspects of the two and could be similar to the Poetic Guardian line of cases which combine all round protection while still showing off the phone's design. ~$20
And even a 4th limited edition case that has built in additional 64/128GB of storage or an adapter so users can add their own storage via micro sd card which connects to the 2nd usb C port as majority of people bought the tencent version as its a great deal (the adapter should be removable so users can still access other features of the 2nd Usb C port and orange colored accessories port

To be frank, i'm surprised at your professional and detailed suggestions. They are of great value to us. Thanks for your time and attention to my request.
For aero case design in TPU material, we have discussed it in our design team. We are not sure whether it involves patent issue. So we need to seek professional legal advice before working on this.
For current WIP design, it's being finalized, and i'm not allowed to distribute it for condifentiality reason. However, i will upload some of our past designs to IMGUR this week. If you are interested in it, i will share you the link once upload is done.
By the way, i can not access the links you sent above. There is nothing but a prompt messag "no photo".
we hope, you could ship here in the Philippines. we have so many members here waiting for good rugged cases. as of now we are stuck on aero case and some flimsy non-fit cases from lazada /shoppee
