So I've recently purchased an X10 and I really want to take good care of it.
I've had pretty bad luck when it comes to phones breaking. (monthly)
What I want to do is to get a silicon case (or any sort of body case for the phone)
(along with a screen protector of course)
AND ALSO
get a leather pouch to put that in.
Would an X10 in a body case (ex. silicon case or otter commuter)
fit in an X10 leather pouch (ex MobiMan Premium Leather pouch)
Or would i have to get a larger leather pouch?
The reason I want the leather pouch is because I fear the screen will break.
I don't see any way around this unless there is some sort of indestructible hard plastic screen protector that doesn't interfere with the touch functions.
But if there is i'm totally content in just a case with no pouch.
Advice?

The only silicone case that can fit a leather pouch (at least the one that my phone came with) is the Sigema Procase! I bought this one (in purple color though) and it's by far the best case I ever had (and I've had quite too many, I am kind of addicted ) and it is so slim that the phone fits is the leather pouch just fine.
The case is composed of 2 materials: shock-absorbing soft rubber edge and semi-transparent hard plastic back.
The cut-outs are just perfect (much better than any other case I've tried) and will give you no problem accessing all the phone buttons and USB port.
There is also a durability test video on Youtube, though for the iPhone variant of the case.
I uploaded some pictures for you to see and help you make up your mind!
Not to offend and I may be wrong since this is just a visual assessment but that case doesn't look too safe.
I mean i'm sure I can probably find a leather (hard case) for a larger phone and fit it in there.
But.
Are there any hard screen protectors for the x10?
I know my iPod has a very hard plastic screen protector but it's a classic and not a touch so i don't know wether or not it'd interfere with touch functions.
Well
maybe I don't even need a hard plastic screen protector.
Is there any case for the X10 that just fully protects the body and the screen? (not like a pouch that you put it into when you're not using it)

I do think of myself as "overprotective" when it comes to my gadgets, but you seem to have taken overprotectiveness to a whole new level!!
Let me -try to- reassure you a little.
First of all, X10 is supposed to come with a hard shutterproof sheet preapplied!
So, don't remove that and you won't even need a screen protector at all.
As far as the case is concerned, buy one that feels safe to you and then a fairly large pouch to put your armored phone in!
There is no such thing as a case that also covers the screen, as that would render the phone unusable, due to the capacitative technology of the digitiser.
*sent from my X10i
For what its worth, my case is a black tpu case(they re-badge there as i-skins) and a leather case that was about $8 plus shipping both from ebay. The phone with the tpu case fits snug into the leather belt clip. If you warm it and strech it a little it fits perfect and slides in and out with ease. I don't like the cheap screen protector that came with the tpu case and plan on getting a zagg protector.
Both the tpu case and leather were ordered on ebay.
If you want some pictures I can take some later if you pm me.
nice! I like the purple color.... i wonder if it would look alrite if a guy use it...

A cautionary tale for those who have or are looking at the Tetded/TETDED slim leather case on eBay or elsewhere. I have had this case for about a month and it has been great - snug, nice leather and best of all a nice slim fit, similar to the Apple leather case for the iPhone. Today I took the case off to kind of just take a look at the phone and wipe away any schmutz and much to my chagrin, noticed some wear marks on the glass (top of the phone). While faint and kind of hard to notice due to the glass being shiny, it has wear marks nonetheless. I sent a message to the seller on eBay who asked for pictures of the wear, which will be tricky to take, like I said, because they are both faint and the glass is shiny.
I like the case a lot and would easily recommend it to someone looking for this style of case, but after noticing this...I don't think a case should leave marks on your phone.
I have a full skin on my pixel. Front and back. Do you think there is enough give in the case to fit over a skin?

It would be pretty damn tight.
Could you shield the glass with some carefully-cut-out plastic kitchen wrap before putting it in the case? (There's probably a better kind of plastic film to use, but that's the first one that came to mind.)

Thanks for the warning. I've been eyeing this case. Guess I should stop.
I had an orange version of this case, cleaned it with leather cleaner and the dye came off! I love a nice premium leather case, but this isn't it in my book.
Just sad we cannot get a high quality slim leather case, that isn't a wallet or folds out into a stupid origami swan or something. If the Pixel is selling as well as we are led to believe, I am surprised more folks aren't making them.

More likely is that leather cases are not very popular now and they take a lot more production to make compared to a molded case. Less demand, more production costs means less availability.
I have the exact same case, and have had mine on for about a month as well, maybe slightly longer.
Just checked the back of mine and it's fine - totally scratch free and perfect under the case. I can't see how this case would damage the back of the phone as it's backed with a thin layer of foam.
Maybe some crud got stuck in between the case and the back?
What's the absolute grippiest solution for this phone? Most skins don't give a lot of confidence. Egrips doesn't make something for our phone and those rings or popsockets are huge
These sandstone cases are the solution http://www.ebay.com/itm/MSVII-Slim-...hash=item33bedfb626:m:mkaiNfq5LXgpPGOyD4m0Sbg
Go to the patchworks website. I can't post the link because i don't have 10 posts but i already have a spigen neo hybrid which is slippery but i kept because i like the color. The patchworks case has a slim and just a regular case but both have special grip on the side where you hold the phone.
i just got the alcantara case and it's by far the grippiest case ive used on any phone.
You could also try a bumper as well. Adds minimal bulk (also won't hide the color of your phone) and will add some grip too. I've heard of bumpers for the iPhone, but didn't realize there were ones for Android phones as well, haha. XD Erika Griffin mentioned one when she did her S8 unboxing on her Youtube channel -- the RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper Case. I couldn't find it on Amazon, but I included the link to their official site.

Thanks. Bumpers unfortunately are too big. They add a lot of width to the phone which is already extremely big one handed

That sucks. D: Only other thing I can think of would be to try something like the Spigen Thin Fit or Airskin cases as they're about the thinnest cases you can get.
EDIT TO ADD: Almost forgot the Spigen Liquid Air case, which of the ones I mentioned, I actually own this one. The pattern on it seems grippy, but I have to see how it feels in-hand when I get the device.

Ya I have a couple like the air skin that are super thin. Just wish there was something thin that was really grippy. Might Plasti dip a case....

it adds a lot of grip if you "squeeze" the phone, but not that much when placed on a slope.
I got this one and it seems grippy enough to me!

The speck pseudo grip is pretty decent. Pricey though.
I bought the Spigen Slim Armor / Metal Slate case for mine and it's a nice, tight fit. Feels great in the hand. Edges have a rubberish feel to them but don't add allot of bulk. Now the trick will be in finding a screen protector that will work with. Like I said, TIGHT!
My solution was the honeycomb skin from slick wraps. I've used it on my last 2 phones.
I agree with pieman13, I got a dbrand skin for my S6. Protects the glass from stuff wedging between the case and the back and is the right grip
Double post.
Ordered the new black dragon... Let's see
shoot a load of jizz right to the back of your phone. it'll stay sticky and grippy, as a bonus no one else will want to mess with your phone.
I bought this case because it looked super thin. I know this is for the S8+ (this regular s8 forum is more active ), and it's awesome. It definitely is super thin, so it won't add much in terms of protection, but it has an amazing feel. Very grippy in the hand, and even on slanted surfaces. I love the feel it adds to the phone, and the size is perfect. The white specs are more pronounced in the pictures on Amazon than they are in person, they are still noticeable but not "sparkly" looking like they appear on the pictures online.

Ordered one to see how it comapres to my Nillkin case I just got (review up in accessories)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/accessories/best-slim-case-ive-t3597761
Holy crap, the Sandstone case posted by @peachpuff is AMAZING
Super thin and the texture is awesome.
It's even thinner than the Nillken which is hard to believe
Only issue is it DOES NOT have enough of a lip on the front to lift the screen off a flat surface if laid screen down. Not a huge detractor for me as I never have my phone screen down.
Hello guys,
I am still doing my search for an ultra-thin case with mate finish for my S8. It is something like the Peel cases for iPhone (sadly they don't care about Samsung phones).
There are some thin cases but I often don't like their glossy finish or the case is not well built.
If anyone knows a case like the Peel, please let me know

This looks closest to peel/Cali case I always use, will be purchasing this for myself , got the wife a Spigen liquid armor she needs a bit more protection
Received the elago case today in black. Cut outs are exact and fit is good, seems to be a bit of movement along the edges.
Perfect for scratch protection and a screen protector should work great with the elago.

This is CaliCase. They changed their name.
Get the elago case from Amazon. It's sooooooooooooo slim! It's .3 I believe and leaves you the flush look of the phone. Just need a decent screen protector now lol

Nope - the one negative for me. If it was, it would be perfect, but otherwise it's great
Spigen AirSkin is the best quality and closest you'll get to Peel or Caudabe.
+1 for Spigen Airskin. It is .36mm and the peel is .35mm. It is *very* thin, bordering on scratch-only protection.
Are you guys speaking from experience on the S8? The Spigen air skin doesn't fit my S8 for some reason, it's just a tad bit too narrow. Spigen was nice enough to replace it, but the new one is the same.
MNML fits perfectly and is the same ultra thin type case. It's my vote for the S8. The other benefit to the MNML case over the Spigen is, the bottom is covered on the MNML, while on the Spigen it's exposed.
I have the Spigen Air Skin on an S8 now and it fits perfectly. The bottom is exposed (except the corners) and the back cutout looks to be different (one big cutout) than the MNML (3 separate cutouts). Face down, it still sits without the front glass touching.
The Nillkin brand of cases out of china are good quality. I've owned a few version of their cases for different models of phone. If you want the slimist case that is TPU and gives some slight shock protection over not having a case, the NATURE line is awesome. I just ordered my clear S8 case from Amazon. can't go wrong with this case. I will update once it arrives.
Also, thing of note...this case has a separator for the camera and fingerprint reader. This actually helps out and functional to keep me from placing my finger on the camera. My current case has the same design as this was a feature I was looking for. Most of the cases has a large cutout on the back which I think was the cheap/fast way to release a case.

I got mine from a company called Bare Cases. Think they're a small company but the case felt very premium. Has a matte finishing. So far it's scratched at the back but I don't mind it cos I guess it protects my phone from those exact scratches.
The Spigen air skin didn't fit good and I just gave up with that.
Just got this case for my S23 Ultra when I get it. If your looking for a styled case with the protection you need for your new phone, check out the site. Thinborne has never let me down with the cases they design. A++++

They also have more rugged cases if you need more protection for your phone.

Minimalistic in all aspects.
No chance I would buy something similar again.
FYI those cases can and will damage sides/corners of the phone as they will scratch paint etc.

Tru, so it is best for people who want to use case like not case
also, we actually add a tempered glass screen protector with the case lol
just want to shock you!
hi; anyone bought and used this acse? looks really nice, i prefer vs pitaka and latercase, but it looks that it is not available right now? apparently, supplier problem; anyway, real experience regarding this?
how it holds up and if it scratches the sides or blocks the signal
I have purchased similar cases. They often no real protection. Looks cool though. There are two different types of aramid case apparently.
