Should I buy a case for my RAZR?? How many of you guys out there have I've and which one?
Sent from my XT910 using XDA App
I'm pretty anal about my devices, and haven't used a case (bought some, but they just turned into toys for my daughter) and my vote is: no case, they add unwanted bulk to the device, and sometimes interfere with some functionality. Just treat it nice (aka, don't put it in your back pocket, and get on a roller coaster...)

TPU cases are great. Adds little to no bulk, but provides good protection. Stronger than silicon but not solid and unflexable. I recommended the Cruzerlite TPU cases. Can be had for $9 and change on amazon. I bought a few. All the cutouts are perfectly placed and there are several different designs to choose from.

But then you can't see the Kevlar...

Oh god forbid you can't see the kevlar! I'll personally sacrifice the kevlar for the added protection.

Yupz.. sgp it's cool..
The back of the phone is very scratchable.
I got this case for $9 on Ebay, like it a lot. That trransparent part is matte, so kevlar is semi-visible.
Seido has some good cases - with a holster too
I got the Seido Active, doesn't add much bulk, fits in the car mount (With the car mount insert taken out), and has a holster too. I did try an otter box with a holster, but it didn't fit in the car mount, and the combo with the holster is huge.
I have two Razr Maxx(es), both with Otterbox Defender cases & belt holsters. Very impressed with the ruggedness as well as the comfort level using. Most stores charge $50, but you can get them for either the Maxx or the regular Razr on eBay for much less. I got them for $38 (I think) and each one included a car charger too.
How are casemate cases? Any one using it?

ebay > /itm/BLACK-CLEAR-TPU-GUMMY-SKIN-HARD-SOFT-CASE-VERIZON-MOTOROLA-DROID-RAZR-XT912-/300646356770 this one is very beautiful
If anyone has a RAZR MAXX, just an FYI the regular RAZR silicone case will fit well!
I went with a case. The metal edges are just to slippery. I like more grip.
I went with the Verizon car with the kickstand.

I have a really nice case, it’s the "$6.99 a month to Verizon for replacement even caused by accidental damage" case.

W/ that said I'm using a Defender. All my phones have/had defenders. I'm rough on my stuff and it really helps the resale later when my phone is in pristine condition. Plus this RAZR being so thin I just felt like I was going to break it soon. Sucks though b/c I have a white RAZR and I tell you, the white with the black accents is wicked looking.
I ain't using case right now, but I will international ship that case, with the back empty, protecting only what need it.

I put a phantom skinz on mine. It's just a wrap. Prevents the scratches if you want to resell later. They have carbonfiber prints that look pretty good. Lifetime warranty on the skin and they have a screen protector that isn't sticky like the zagg product can be.
anyone else absolutely in love with flex gel cases or is it just me? i just bought an arguile clear flex gel case off ebay. I'm a big case hoarder for all the smart phones i've had. I've found flex gel cases to be the best for everyday, convenient use.
Also, now that i have a white phone, i feel it should be a crime to not go with a clear case and show off my phone rather than hide it's beauty. Anyways, anyone else having an open love affair with flex gel, or is it just me? if so, do you like your buttons with cutout access, or covered? i must know.
well lets see the case man any pics?

Here is the ebay link for the item:[ebay link removed]
Overall, I'm very happy with the case. It's thin, yet provides the protection I need. It also shows off enough of the pretty phone, with still having a style of its own.
Thanks for the pics...I wanted to see how the white looked with the white argyle...looks nice.

I love those cases! They are better than an otter box in my opinion. I just got a Sweet lookin matte black one off eBay for my amaze which sports some noticeable battle damage on its body... the look of the phone is totally different now. I also have the tpu case on my g2 and g2x. I swear by em !

Nice! I have one similar to this also. I just ordered a trident case a few days ago though. I couldn't resist aha
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
I had a nice trident case for my EVO, but after a while it was just way too big. I'm female so my pants pockets are usually small. It's hard to fit one of those cases in one. That's why I absolutely love this material. No friction and relatively strong, without being too bulky.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
Yeah I agree. I love the case I have now (tpu case). But I'm a relatively big guy 6'3" so I don't think the added bulk would bother too much ?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
The problem with these cases are (especially the cheapy ebay ones) is that they become yellow!!!
Because of the hot/warm battery under heavy usage causes them to become yellow. Otherwise the cases Do perform adequate protection.
I had a clear arguyle case like this on my galaxy s2 and that battery got way hotter while charging that this one. I only had it for a month but i didn't see a yellowish tint. I'm a case fiend so I'm sure in a few weeks ill need to buy a completely different color anyways. So at the price of 6 bucks, I don't mind. sorry for the constant replying. I'm awfully bored at work.

Just ordered one. I have been debating about getting one or not, and finally decided to go for it. I have not had a TPU case since my old blackberry curve 8900
I am looking for look, feel, bulkiness, and style. no flip cases, but bumpers can work. so, post your suggestions! thanks

I have this case and I've got to say that I feel it makes the note too bulky. It certainly adds as much protection as you would ever need although. And maybe I'm doing something wrong but when i take it off, I feel like I am going to break my phone in half. Its very hard to take off which I do often for battery pulls. Ya know?
Anyways. Just ordered some "slim" case off amazon one of the top rated ones. Should be here in a bit and I'll try that one out.

Ballistic cases in my opinion are the BEST out there! Period. The have a bit of bulkiness due to the amount of protection they provide, but still feel nice in your hand. Coming soon I hope!

If you want a case close to otterbox quality, then get a Reiko case off Ebay. It 10 buck cheaper, but feel like 35.

Just picked up the note yesterday. Didn't get insurance on it so obviously I'm quite paranoid and can't afford to break it. At the same time though i don't want a huge bulky case. Id like a case that's thin and lightweight but will offer moderate protection if im careful with it. Suggestions?

You won't get drop protection with a thin case. Thin cases, like most of the hard surface ones, are more like scratches protection.
You could get TPU case, the real rubbery one, and not the hard one with rubberized surface. It will still be thin.
For best drop protection, you will need a thick one like Seidio or Otterbox (if they release one)

The SGP Ultrathin has fitment issues on the Note, enough to force me to return mine. Would rec avoiding it and going with the Elago Slim case as a super thin replacement.
via my AT&T Note
Yeah i know i can't get anything crazy thin and have drop protection but i also don't want something completely huge. Maybe i will be ok with just a real thin one though if it has good grip and a bit of a lip on the front. Has anyone heard of broken screens yet? Or is it worth it to get otterbox/similar?

Anyone know of a bumper that has foam protection on the inside? The more i use this phone he more i love it. Don't want to have to cover it up or add huge bulk. I would think a lightweight bumper with some internal padding would b awesome

That seems inexpensive but do the screen protectors work with the I717?
I bought "Speck" case thru AT&T. Shiny plastic outside and rubber inside. Happy with it.
Screen protectors, got the zagg invisible shield from bestbuy. It feels rubbery and stylus having hard time gliding over it.
My suggestion: Do not buy ZAGG screen protector for Note.

After much deliberation I just bought a white sense ultra slim pouch.I think I'll like that as I it'll give it great protection and can still use the phone naked

I like this case. I have some questions for you. How do you like it? How do you attach the plastic outer piece once the the rubber liner is in place? Can you still remove the battery door while the bumper is on? Is there a lip on the front and the back to protect the screen and the camera? And it there room for a screen protector (like the Glas.t)? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks.

Plastic with a leather inner backing to resist scratching. It's not super protective but it's done my Galaxy Nexus well. I really don't like cases, but this one has been the exception.
I absolutely love the Ringke Slim. Had one for my SII also. It's perfect for me.

I've had Otterbox on another device, it wasn't nearly as good as the price would make you think. The rubber stretches after a time and doesn't fit properly, the screen protector is awful and on mine the belt clip broke after about 7 months.
If he really wants to spend the money there are better cases out there. Like the Seidio http://www.seidioonline.com/seidio-Samsung-Galaxy-Mega-6-3-s/8996.htm

Defender
I've had the O-Box Defender on my Mega since day 1. Love it. I attached a disc to the back so I can even wear it on my belt. :silly:
I got an otterbox for a galaxy mega, it feels great but It may have made the phone too big
I would try out the Trident Aegis case and fit the screen with a 9H tempered glass and your phone would be invulnerable to drops. I added this combination to my Mega 6.3 when I first got it and had a few drops here and there and nothing broke or chipped. The rubber material of the case is thicker and stronger then Otterbox's Defender in my opinion.
