Well I know that they will be adding more cases because I reviewed the site about two months ago and all they had were the Aegis and Cyclops series. The Kraken series is new for the Atrix.
I use the Speck case currently and I couldn't be happier with this product but if I do buy another case it will definitely be the Kraken because of the kick stand built into it. Dope!
I think I might pick up the kracken. I like the can lens cover, among other things.

I decided to purchase a Trident Krakken Case for my Atrix and thought I'd share my thoughts and opinions about it. Got it for $32 on eBay.

It has three parts, a silicon back-cushion, and the two poly-carbonate(plastic) front and back that clip around it. The plastic has a soft touch finish which gives you a solid grip. I do not like that the crease between the two is so obvious, but the two are securely attached so i can overlook it.
As any rugged case expect it to be bulky.
But it's not as bulky as an Otterbox Deffender.
Unlike the Otterbox Defender this case will not insert the belt-clip with the screen facing outwards or upside down. It only goes in one way, this is something I'll have to get use to.
My favorite feature is the kickstand.
I am confident That this will supply the same amount of protect as my Defender. I will replace my defender with this and will let you know how it handles the first drop.
I have had the otter-box, hated it ... Otter rubber loose, lack of directional screen dock and no car dock for charging etc... Base phone has a great dock.
I bought the trident case, the base unit - Much better case, camera lense cover instead of a dust hole like the Otter. Rubber is much tighter and a little more grip never hurts.
Now I need to mod a phone blank, add a pig-tail cable so I can mount the blank phone in the car dock, route the power out about 3 inches to the glued on belt clip - Hey, you never know, that just might catch on.
just bought the Aegis case for my phone; i'll post pictures when i receive it.
update, if anyone is interested. my case came in the mail today, but unfortunately the package got crushed and the case was damaged. i contacted the seller and asked him if i could get a new one and mail this one back, but they're giving me trouble. said they were out of stock, but i don't really believe that.
anyways, i'm just gonna order another one (this time from Trident themselves) and i'll be posting pictures when it arrives.
it looks really cool though, doesn't look like it'd add a lot of bulk. a little smaller than my Speck case. can't wait to get one that isn't broken, and the kickstand feature is really cool

well, i superglued the case back together (i can't get a replacement anyways, figured i'd try to fix it... didn't work out too well >.<). it's not worth using as a daily case in it's current condition, but i'll snap a few pics for you! just remember that it'll look a LOT better after i get one that didn't come snapped in two pieces =\
I just ordered mine as well. I've always loved Otterbox gear in the past, but this one is a flaming piece of crap.
Here's to hoping it doesn't suck.
Figured I'd post my thoughts, as I just got the Kraken case and from what I've seen so far it is a great case. I've have the body glove silicone case I got at the AT&T store and one of the mesh cases. guess I'm a but of a case junkie. My last phone, the LG Expo did not have God support and there were only a few case options, and I've kind of gone off the deep end with my Atrix.
My daughter and son-in-law have i-phones with Otterbox cases and the way the silicone comes loose and gets caught when pulling it out or putting it in your pocket gets really annoying. I like how the outer case of the Kraken isn't silicone, it slides into my pocket without any drama.
As posted on the previous page the seam where the case joins isn't as nice as I was expecting from the pictures online from trident. But my case seems to have gone together a little better than his did. The included screen protector is fairly decent but how it holds up remains to be seen. It looks like it can be removed fairly easily if it gets to scratched up. Time will tell and I will update my review if anything changes.
Seeing that I just got it, I'll wait before I review the holster as I haven't used it enough to give a fair review.
All in all, so far I really like it.
I'll post some pics when I get a chance.

Then it's not for you. The point of a case this style is not to be slim & sexy. It's to keep heavy handed fools like us from destroying our several hundred dollar investment.
Mine came in the beginning of this week, and so far I'm happy with it. Looks and feels much better than my Otterbox did, but there is the 'seam' issue as posted above.
and thats what its all bout, being happy. I thinking bout getting one now. I choose function over form any day.. If i was worried bout how my phone looked i would bedazzle it, lmao.
As it turns out, this case sucks too. Admittedly, I'm rough on my gear, but this puppy was coming apart at a 2ft impact from day 1.
It looks and feels great, but definitely doesn't hold up like an Otterbox.

unfortunately the pics are not too descriptive, nor the text. So I am not sure you can use the keyboard. Which would be a bummer if not. Ill let you know when I get it...
Got it. Fortunately it does allow keyboard use.

As you can see all the buttons are still fully accessible. The keyboard will take a bit getting used to with the plastic sheet over it. But not too bad. It is definitely too tight out of the box to hold a credit card or ID card. But I dont use this as a wallet anyways. Its not too bulky. No moreso then a wallet. It does come with an optional belt clip but I never wear those. The leather is nice and smooth and Looks nice on this phone. It is not as high end as my old Krusell cases for my axim but it works well. All in all I am happy with it. It looks sleek and does not take away from functionality of the device at all. It is currently connect to my pc via usb and there are no obstructions as well.
Id say 4.5/5 only for the fact that if I wanted to fit a credit card id have to fight it a while. Otherwise it does exactly what I expected and hope it to do.
Try this man,
http://www.thinktouchpro2.com/
: )
Krusell does have a TP2 case -- I've had it for a couple weeks now. It's quite similar to the TouchPro case, except for a few things:
The inner liner is gray, not tan.
The TP2 case is a much tighter fit than the TP case.
The flip cover has a cutout for the ExtUSB jack so you can plug in a charger when the case is closed.
Krusell
Can you tell me the link for the krusell one. Ive always liked there cases when I didnt feel like spending a car payment on Vaja. I just checked their website. Maybe im special but I cant find the Krusell case for the ATT tilt 2
I really liked the Body Glove case for my Asus back in the day. But this one got HORRIBLE reviews...
The Krusell TP2 case is part number 75424, and I ended up getting it through Amazon.com; it took a bit of effort to find as the usual outlets don't seem to be carrying it yet. Expansys doesn't list it on their web site, but the Amazon store indicates that the item comes from Expansys.
I've been using it with my Tilt 2 for a couple weeks' now; it's a very tight fit, so it may not be for you if you're always popping the back off to swap mem cards, batteries, or SIM cards.
This case worked out very nicely. If you are looking for a nice leather case I would definitely try it. To me it was worth every penny and does exactly what I hoped.
It looks ok, but you didn't saw this model first? It seems to have a good build quality, anyone use it?
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000654&products_id=17234
Looks nearly identical. However the white stitching is not my thing. Nonetheless this one was not available at the time of my post. Believe me I scoured the four corners of the internet for a good leather case for this. I am still gonna by a VAJA when it comes out.
I've seen those leather cases and I don't get it. Every time you want to answer the phone you look silly with the thing hanging down and flapping in the breeze. I'm sure they're fine for some, for me, they seem a bit oddly designed.

The Krusell's front cover is removable, presumably to address this very concern.

And what is so wrong with "flapping in the breeze"!
Err I alleviate this problem by grabbing around the cover when its folded back. So it flapping has never been a problem... I've always preferred this type of case though. However, its all personal preference. I think someone was boasting the "NICEST LEATHER CASE" and when I looked at it, it was a horribly ugly brown phone..."purse" thing with a lanyard... So yeah all personal preference.
Hi All
Krussell TP2 cases are, sorry were, utter crap.
I don't think they even offer them for sale anymore, with good reason.
They, as in Krussell, are a crap company to deal with who do not honour their product warranty.
Advice: Steer clear of Krussell, did i mention they suck...!
Cheers
Jabberoo
Krussell TP2 cases are woeful, avoid like the plague
Hi All
I agree with Jabberoo the Krussell TP2 cases were poor, poor, poor.
Though I found their customer service to be good to deal with in that they sent me a replacement product when I sent them a photo showing that the TP2 did not fit the case.
Unfortunately the replacement case was of a similar low quality (despite there being a big QA sticker on it)
Cavet Emptor and all that.

D

Quite true...
However, i did attemmpt to argue with them that sending me a 'generic' side slide case was pointless, as the TP2 comes with one anyway - beyond that, it was not what i paid for in good faith.
I agued for a refund in light of they could not replace a 'same' or 'better' product through no fault of my own. They stopped sending responses, i have emailed them perhaps 25 times with no further response.....
Shock horror....!!
Here's me out 50 bucks with a broken (defective) product they have not replaced or refunded. So, technically, they are thieves (not to mention Wankers too....)
I will tarnish their name whenever, wherever possible..>!
(Did i mention they are Wankers...???)

Wow Im sorry you have had such a bad dealing with Krusell. For my intermediate products such as cameras and mp3 players I always used Krusell. However I have always loved and sprung for th Vaja cases or piel frama. Unfotunately for the Rhodium I agree the PF case looks horrid like an oversized Hot Dog bun... I will agree that the Krusell TP2 case is fugly too. Sad they really do look like they have gone down hill...

You can't pull out the keyboard, no. For me that's not an issue though since I don't use it THAT often and if I do, I can pull the TP2 out of the case entirely. For most texts etc I only use the screen keyboard anyway.
Hi All,
I received both the CaseCrown Bold Standby Case & CaseCrown NetBook Case this week as was pretty impressed by both so I figured it was worth it's own thread. I'm also posting a bunch of pictures here in the OP so people can see what they look like in use.
CaseCrown Bold Standby Case
Amazon Link
The Bold is pretty much everything you would expect. The case is relatively rigid and the Transformer fits in it perfectly. Very clean, tight and professional. The tablet definitely feels protected. Although, obviously, like any case of this type you don't want to drop it as there is no real shock absorption.
The tablet slides in the bottom and then you tuck the flap in. The flap has a velcro connection on the inside so that it will not slip. There is no way this tablet would come out of the case accidentally except for intentional abuse.
The magnetic closure is good. You could argue that it "could" be a stronger magnet except I think it is perfectly fine. It will not come open accidentally under normal use.
The material is good although I'm not sure whether it is real leather or not. Doesn't really matter because I think it looks fine either way. Material looks professional. The only annoyance is that the shipper shipped my unit in just a bubble mailer so there are a couple "dents" on the front (see last pic). Hopefully these will go back to normal after some time.
The case basically has 4 orientations total: closed, book (cover folded flat back), vertical landscape and horizontal landscape (keyboard position). This isn't quite the level of "adjustability" you get with the multi-angle cases but I thought that was fine. Even when I was holding my tablet by itself, these were the main angles I used anyway. The main gap in the design is a lack of a 45 degree angle but I didn't need it and knew that when I purchased this. I also love that you can fold the cover flat back like a book for reading.
There are holes for all ports including the front and back camera as well as the light sensor and microSD. No issues here. The back camera hole doesn't appear to block the camera lens like some other cases I've seen. I actually would have preferred if the microSD was covered so that I couldn't accidentally eject it but I know most people prefer this to be open.
Overall, an excellent case. I highly recommend it.

CaseCrown NetBook Case
Amazon Link
The NetBook Case is currently only $7 shipped and fulfilled by Amazon. Fortunately I still have my Prime membership so buying this was pretty much a no brainer. This case works EXCELLENTLY as your only case. It fits the tablet by itself to a T. It feels snug and protected in this case. The only downside is that the straps are made for a netbook so it isn't totally secure if you are holding the tablet in it with the case open. It works "okay" like this if you are just watching media though (I did it the other day). I don't have a dock but I'm pretty sure a dock will fit. There is a bit more room and this case is made for a netbook afterall.
The material on this case is very good and I really like the padding. It looks pretty professional although due to the size it could easily be mistaken for a "man bag".
The Transformer does fit in this case while it is ALSO in the Bold. However, it is a pretty tight fit and I worry that the edges of the Bold will curl from how tight it is. Due to this, I am strongly considering returning the NetBook case now that I have the Bold.
Overall, this is a great "everyday" carrying case. Only issues are that you could NOT fit the charger in there (I bought it knowing that and only use this for single day trips) and it will not properly accommodate the tablet if you have a case on it.
Nice - thanks for the long review.
I think I will wait for the TechTree review before I decide.
Goddam, why there is no Clip-in system cases yet? I'll never buy a case with such a bezel !
thanks bro for sharing i went and bought on since i cant find one in the wild... protecting my baby Transformer ..cant wait for it
I received my CaseCrown case yesterday. I am really impressed with the quality. It looks and feels very professional.
Some of the cases I have seen on ebay had uneven stitching. Maybe they were sown by hand. Here are a few shots I took to give you guys a closer look.
Let me know if you have any questions about the case. I have gotten so much from these forums; I want to give a little back.
Got mine last night. IN the "up to watch" mode its quite stable. IN the typing mode its a bit floppy and the bottom can come loose if you move it around a bit but given the cost it gets me what I want. I really just wanted the up to watch mode.
Excellent pics, really shows how good the case is with the flap folded all the way back, can't see any over hang. Looks less bulky but solid. Can't wait until they send mine but I am in Canada and we just had a postal strike.
How's the additional weight does this case add on?

Yeah I would have loved something like the Otterbox that didn't cover as much of the bezel. Not too much of an issue though.

Hey my pic of it laying down is a little cut off. There IS overhang. About 1.3 cm.

I don't think the rooCASE is out yet. rooCASE is known for good quality too though. It probably will boil down to preference over whether you want the single angle style or the multi angle style.

I don't have the CaseCrown but i do have the rooCase multiangle. Fit is fine, cutouts line up. The 5 or 6 extra dollars that the rooCase costs buys you the multiangle feature plus real leather. The downside is it probably weighs more than the CaseCrown.

I keep my Note in my pants' pocket. When I bend forward or sit, it gets really uncomfortable. And all of the lints inside the pocket gets into the phone. Does anyone use external belt-clip case or fanny pack type of thing?
Ideally, it should be easy to attach the bag to a belt, phone should be accessible but have an option to hide from public, and the bag should not look too dorky.
1. This one is from Amazon Japan. I used to use it but lost it. It is easy to attach to my belt, and phone is accessible. The thing is I used to use it for Samsung Captivate and might not be big enough (and not sold in US).
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/images/B000OPUUPG/ref=dp_image_z_0?ie=UTF8&n=2016926051&s=shoes
2. Think Geek has "Grab-It Pack Gadget Holster". This is big enough but the pocket is lower and might not be accessible as other options. And this looks really geeky.
http://www.thinkgeek.com/interests/starwars/c616/
3. Urban Tool has not too dorky fanny pack for gadgets. I am not sure if this fits Note and seems hard to take out and put in since it is made of stretchable material and supposed to be tight-fit.

I feel your pain. Having read through many, many informative posts in this forum, ther are 2 cases I am looking into. My focus is on a not-too-bulky, sleek as possible & sturdy case w/beltclip.
1. Seidio "Active Holster" (they also make a compatible "Active case")
2. Nutshell makes rather hi-end leather cases with beltloops and clips
Hope that helps you out...
Nutshell case looks really nice. That is a great option!

Ummm... $69 is a little pricey side, but considering how much I use my phone, it could be worth it.
Thanks!

Someone had to. It's state law.
Anywho, yeah, I'm afraid of lint as well, I have a tablet with a ton of lint under the touch screen from carrying it in my pocket all of the time prior to owning the Note, and I'm constantly wiping lint off my Note. I'm sure eventually it'll start finding its way inside. And same with bending over, if I'm putting on my shoes for example I always take it out of the pocket, leaning over, etc.. I'd prefer a horizontal belt case myself.
I found a few on Amazon, but haven't tried any of them yet. Here's a few I have in a wishlist to keep track of..

I keep my Note in my pants' pocket. When I bend forward or sit, it gets really uncomfortable. And all of the lints inside the pocket gets into the phone. Does anyone use external belt-clip case or fanny pack type of thing?

About the lint and **** in your pocket, if at all possible, try and turn your pockets inside out, and use some clear packing tape to get all the loose bits/particles out of there. May have better luck doing this before you put them on if the pockets are stitched down or the pants are snug fit.
As for a case/holster...were I to get one, and I've considered it, but just couldn't make the leap, I'd go for the Seidio. It looks like the best I've seen, and they are generally well reviewed. There are cheaper options of course.
The note will fit into the breast pocket of fishing shirts from Magellan or Columbia - that is my normal solution.
You might also look at belt loop mounted camera bags.
My recommendation
I bought this one. Super naked slim, protective against scrapes, gripy~, easy in, easy out.

That one is pretty sweet! Just wish it had a belt clip. I'm using a cheap eBay case with holster right now:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/130673326770?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Fit is good, but the case is heavier than I want. Protection is better than the barely there case since it has a small lip over the top and sides.

Someone had to. It's state law.
Anywho, yeah, I'm afraid of lint as well, I have a tablet with a ton of lint under the touch screen from carrying it in my pocket all of the time prior to owning the Note, and I'm constantly wiping lint off my Note. I'm sure eventually it'll start finding its way inside. And same with bending over, if I'm putting on my shoes for example I always take it out of the pocket, leaning over, etc.. I'd prefer a horizontal belt case myself.

The middle link leads to a decent-looking belt case. The price isn't that high either. If it can fit a Note with hardshell case I might get it. Wait... That opens horizontally. That's unusual.

I wish it had belt loops as well, I'll never wear a belt case with just a clip again, I almost lost several phones in the past that way, and randomly would find the phone missing and find it in the car beside my seat. Never again.
And reviews sound kinda bad... oh well..

Won't happen with the Nutshell belt case. They use a gun holster clip designed to stay on even when you are running with a heavy gun.

Well, yeah, it might be an exception. I was referring more to the cheap ebay/amazon horizontal cases.
Nutscase is a little too much case for me, plus, I don't like pouches.
I got the seidio active with kickstand combo incoming but it was a close choice between that or this sgp one:

Has anyone bought or had any hands on with this case specifically for the DNA? i have been waiting for a colored case for the DNA, specifically green, and Trident looks to be the first, I have no experience with their cases, and this one for the DNA looks a little more different than the standard aegis case. Maybe i missed, but i could not find any actual pictures or reviews of the case, not sure if it was just released and too new, or if it isnt actually shipping yet.
Anyone have any imput on this case? it is also on sale on their website with a happy 2013 coupon for 25% off bringing the price down to $26.21 with free shipping.
Wow, I thought I was happy with my Fosmon case but after seeing these, I'm really tempted to buy one just for the heck of it. They look amazing, especially the blue one. I'm just worried since they look pretty thick and would add some bulk. The Fosmon that I have is thin but stiff so it doesn't add much weight or size. Might have to order one anyways to see though, too good with 25% off even though it's over 6x the price of the Fosmon I bought.

I had a Trident Aegis for my Rezound and it was great, good fit and nice quality. It's similar to a Commuter as far as bulk goes.
i watched a few youtube videos, and apparently they are liked cases, and are thicker than they used to be. I just cant find any info on this particular one, as it seems the outer hard shell does not actually clip on around the sides, but appears more that it is all one piece.. i guess it comes down to whoever decided to make the plunge first, I will admit, i am pretty tempted, since seidio wont have a green case when they come out with theirs right away, and its the color i want most. I wish this case had a kickstand though.
it doesn't wrap around the edge as expected.
I just wish it wasn't so expensive. Still debating whether it's worth the $28 or not since I don't even know if I'll like it more than my $4 case that I do like.
---------- Post added at 01:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 AM ----------
Alright, I took the plunge. Ordered a blue one, hoping it is one piece instead of two since I'd prefer it that way. From the description, it seems like it will be. Other than that, just hoping it won't be too thick and bulky on the sides. Will update when I've had some time with it and let you guys know how it is.
for the type of case, i feel 28 is pretty reasonable, with the nice color combo and all. on par with a otterbox, just better looking! i would love to wait for your review, but im not sure i want to give up on the 25% off! =/ haha
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ki5cIxbAnw
there is a review of the note 2 case, which IS one piece, like the DNA case should be. It appears to be very nice, easier to install and remove, and an all around good case! i just placed my order for the green one, so i will write a review as well of the case when i get it, or maybe even make a video review with my new gopro! haha
It came today, quality is very good as far as I can tell. The color is a bit lighter that what was on my screen and not as deep a blue, but it's ok. Will try it out later once my phone finishes charging.

Really liking it so far. It's a bit thicker than I would have liked, but I don't think it's a deal breaker. It also adds a considerable amount of weight so probably not for those that want to keep the phone light. The feel in hand is great although sometimes it feels like it's slipping because the sides are so smooth. Keep in mind that it is not slipping, it just feels like it. The best part for me are the buttons. They are amazingly responsive and have very good feel when pressing them. The slightest touch and you can feel it clicking. Feel free to ask if anyone wants to know anything else.

Bump for pics.
Sorry guys, been busy with work and haven't had time to take any photos of the thickness. Check out this great video review though, he has it covered pretty well. Not sure if he was having trouble getting the wireless charging to work or not with the LG pad since it seemed like he had to adjust it to the right position. On my Nokia pad, I don't have to do any adjusting just as long as the phone is on top of the pad, it'll charge.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS3UDPeij7I&feature=player_embedded
Also, here's the thread for the video review if you have anything you want to ask him.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088323
I got mine yesterday and i absolutely love the case! only 2-3 flaws so far!
1. My wireless charger does not seem to work well. it will work for a little bit but will then stop. does anyone have nay idea? not sure how a defender can work but this will not!
2. the back is slippery when you put it on a surface. not really a con just a little to get used to!
3. the buttons are almost too easy to press! i find myself hitting the power or volume buttons by accident. again just something to get used to!
I just really hope i can get this wireless charging to work, otherwise im not sure i will keep the case! =/ i thought it was charging but woke up to a dead battery.
For those of you who already have the Trident Aegis case, do you notice the screen being pinched? I currently use the Ballistic SG Case and I notice the blue splotching as described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2078518 so I am thinking about getting the Trident Aegis case instead. Please advise and thank you.
i do not notice any problems with the screen. the case fits snug around the edges,but not excessive pressure on the backside. i will let you know if i start to notice it!
I went with Black. Looks nice with a little of the Red showing through the back.
As the title says. I just picked up my new GS7 last week. And while I have always liked the looks of my phones in the past, I gotta admit, I always thought the iPhones looked better. Dating back to my first smartphone, the Blackberry Storm (if any of you remember that mess), I had always thought the iPhone was the better looking of the smartphones. When my upgrade was up from the Storm, VZW was HEAVILY advertising this new phone called the Droid. I almost got the Storm 2 because at the time, I didn't think the Storm was a bad phone, but on a whim bought the Droid I saw during every commercial break. It opened my eyes to how great Android was, and how garbage BB touchscreens were. I've always used Androids since. I've had a few iPhones here and there, but I just HEAVILY preferred the Android experience over iOS and got rid of my iPhones within a week or 2 of originally acquiring them. But now, finally, I can say that my Gold Platinum colored Galaxy S7 even looks way sexier than any iPhone. I seriously love the way this phone looks. I also always carry my phone in my pocket. I've tried belt-clips, but I always would get them caught on counters and stuff, typically resulting in breaking the clip and often damaging my phone. That in mind. I'm looking at outfiiting my phone with a slim profile case, not only for pocket comfort, but also to keep as much of the original look of the phone as possible. So I'm looking at gold and clear cases primarily. I also don't want a lot of grip, as before, I've had times that I had a VERY grippy case that when I thought I slid my phone in my pocket, it actually gripped to the edges of the pocket and fell when I wasn't paying much attention. Sorry for the novel background. But on to the meat and potatoes of the post:
I'm looking at getting a tempered glass screen protector and case. As far as the screen protector, I'm 90% certain that I've decided on the Coral Tempered Glass with the matching Gold top and bottom. I've always used ZAGG before and have no complaints with them. But their Contour Glass model isn't out yet and want to get something ASAP. If anybody has any experience with the Coral, please chile in and let me know how it was. Or if anybody else has a tempered glass screen protector they really love that may sway me, also, please chime in and let me know of your experience.
Now. On to the cases. I found a couple I liked just on Amazon, and then read that some users found some they really liked on ebay, so checked there and found a few more I'm very interested in. The beauty with the eBay ones is they're dirt cheap. But the down side is, I don't know how well they will fit and/or protect my phone. And coming from typically China'Hong Kong, it'll take a while to receive them. So I've narrowed it down to 5 that I really like (I honestly could easily make it 10, but that's too ridiculous)....
So. Number 5:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/28179505052...49&var=580958289146&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
-at $7.99 it's incredibly cheap. It's a very good looking case. Although the pics don't show the S7 version. All the other versions look VERY well made. Even have a stock-looking logo of the phone on them. Even the other color schemes look tempting like the black/gold or white/gold. In all, it looks very refined for an eBay case of this price range. I don't think I'd rate it as 5th place on my considerations really. I really like them all. This one is an especially clean looking case though.
Number 4:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B1V3QJ8/ref=twister_B01F341F92?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
-at $29.95, it's probably the most expensive on my list. But I've heard great things about UAG. It looks rugged. But that also detracts from the natural look of the phone I want to show off, even in the ICE (clear) color.. So it's a bit of a double-edged sword to me.
Number 3:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/20152550018...49&var=500749182756&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
-at $15.19, this falls about right in the middle of the price range. Though it does cover the entire back of the phone, it still looks pretty close to the regular back of the phone while providing low profile protection.
Number 2:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/27216969983...49&var=570981080744&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
-at $10.98, it's still very cheap. It's 2-piece metal screw-together with a clear back. So it's very low-profile, has a gold protective bumper with a simple clear backing to show the phone and not the case. So I really like the idea of this case
Number 1:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/38154689041...49&var=650654760726&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
-at $14.99 it also comes right in the middle of the price range. And while it also covers the entire back of the phone, it looks like it's the matching color. And I like that it's a brushed metal which won't get messed up by being kept in my pocket. And it still provides protection while keeping a low profile. Plus, it's a brand I've heard good things about, so I'm not worried at all about any fit or performance.
so anybody with any experience with these, please let me know how you liked them. Or anybody else that has any opinions on the cases, let me know what you think of them. I REALLY like em all and my OCD is making it very hard for me to choose just one. Thanks for reading, and thanks ahead of time for your replies

if you read my post. A wooden case is essentially the exact opposite of what I'm looking for. I do like how the reclaimed wood cases look, but I want my phone to look as stock as possible. A wooden case would make it look COMPLETELY different
think I found my winner:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Samsung...acb1220&pid=100033&rk=4&rkt=4&sd=301905544453
low profile clear case to show off the phone perfectly while providing protection without any added bulk AND a matching gold platinum 3D edge-to-edge tempered glass screen protector. And since they come as a packqge, I don't need to worry about fitment issues. For only $14.99 shipped from CA, so I won't have to wait a month to receive it. And I've only heard good things about Nillkin brand cases, it's not even a no-brand as I was expecting to get. At $14.99, that's what I was expecting to pay for the case alone, and another $20-20 for the tempered glass screen protector. So not only did I fit all the criteria I had, it's a name-brand case, AND includes a tempered glass screen protector that I was most definitely going to add, I don't need to worry about the 2 fitting together, and it only comes from CA so I'll get it quick. I plan to read some seller reviews and wait about an hour and then pull the trigger and order it
ETA: after looking at the seller's feedback...
A) they have an obscene amount of positive feedback in general at over 200K. And only sell phone accessories. That's unbelievable
B) the feedback I was able to find for this specific package was all positive
so i'm VERY confident in the seller. And quite confident in the actual product based on the specific reviews too. I look forward to receving this product much more now
I think that best combination for Galaxy S7 is Ringke Slim case with icroo fullscreen protection. which I have, and it looks awesome!

As an update. Since I made this thread, I contacted ARTech 21, and they're sending me some cases to review as well. I particularly like the Vivid and Jelly models:
the jelly really fits what I was looking for in this thread. A low profile case that shows off the phone, not the case, while still giving good protection. And the vivid is just a really cool looking totally different style case. I'm really excited to play with em and will have reviews of all of them, including how the screen protector fits with all the different cases, which I'm very curious about
