I've been looking for a case for my Slide since I bought it on launch day, and I haven't seen one positive review of a case. The general consensus seems to be any hard-shell case has some sort of tab system holding the two pieces in place, but when you slide the phone open or take the case off it wears down the tabs until they eventually snap off. Every single hard-shell case I've seen reviewed has this issue. All the reviews on xda seem to be cursing the crappy quality of the cases, whether it be from t-mobile or a third party site or ebay. Does anyone have a recommendation for a solid durable case? I can't believe this phone has been out for 2+ months now with not a single good case. Thanks in advance.
I'm still looking for a replacement battery cover. Don't want a full case, and want a cover that is not slick. Not interested in those stick-on things as it adds bulk.
I love the silver case w/ kickstand from t-mobile. Very well made, no problems with it at all.
The kickstand is great for conference calls (don't have to lay the speaker or the mic to the ground) or watching videos.
i like the look of the silver case, but i have a red slide and i don't feel the colors compliment each other very well
if they were to make a black version of that case i'd be all over it.

Thanks! The case looks like a monster but I'm not too worried about bulk since the phone itself is already huge. Also nice to get another one of the t-mo screen protectors that cover the buttons too since I'm worried about getting dust under the screen.
I use the tmobile case also, which is actually made by bodyglove. its worked great for a few months now but I started having issues with it today. by the way it comes with a screen protector.

no the black tmobile one that has like some sort of adhesive grip on it
I have the bodyglove rubber one and its awesome. I would recommend the zagg screen protector with it though.

That one looks nice and thin, the tabs that hold it on look pretty flimsy though. Have you had problems with them breaking off?

i have the same case, i dropped mine maybe 2 times with the case on and most of those gay ass tabs broke off, making it useless now cause it wont stay on
Yes tangrams those tabs are horrible. That's the issues I had. After taking it on and off a few times it'll start not wanting to snap completely on. If you are going to root or rom your phone leave it off until your done or you'll be buying a new case. Lack of a good case is what lead me to dump that phone and get a vibrant this past weekend.

I've used 5 cases from PDAIR.com. Aluminum, classic, professional black or white. Hugs the phone as close as a metal case can. They're 20 to 30 dollars but the quality and sturdiness have saved 5 phones from falls that would have easily shattered the screen.
Well worth the money, check them out.

The metal one looks perfect since I don't use the hardware keyboard anymore. Ordering, will review
Me Too! I saw this metal case online.
NO not THAT type of protection :angel: Ordered my new Rezound today and am looking for a good screen protector, case, etc. I have done a little searching on topic and I see alot of "I wish they made this for the Rezound" and not many consistent reviews. I am a mechanic and with my old DINC I had the issue with metal shavings even if I put in a small ziplock bag. Anyone have a good cheap fix to this problem so I don't immediately screw my new phone? I have found: CASE and PROTECTOR that I like so far. The realook seemed to be on par or similar to the steinheils people seem to worship. thanks in advance
screen protector
I work in a machine shop, so i get shavings as well
On my BB the chips would get into the speaker and cause problems
I use best skins ever protector without any case and have not had problems.
easy install, smooth feel works great
http://www.bestskinsever.com/htc-rezound-skin
that's interesting, is it just a plastic shield for front and back?
If bulk is not an issue, I'd suggest getting the Otterbox Defender case. I has a built-in screen protector and will make it pretty hard to damage your new phone. Check them out here....

By the way, you can find them cheaper on Amazon or Ebay. I have no affiliation with any of the companies mentioned in this post.
I agree with mefloump, I just purchased the Otterbox Defender and it works great. I highly recommend it.
I've been looking at it too. I have someone else with one on an iphone. Nice cases.
Check out the ZaggShield. Definitely my favorite.
will def give those a look at. I was a little concerned about "bulk" how bulky is it? Like I keep my phone in my pocket (non saggy/baggy) am I going to have problems fishing it out? lol

IMO, I don't think you will be able to get it in your pocket with the defender case. It comes with a holster though. Personally I use the body glove case because it is slim fitting.

your best bet is zagg! order online for 16 or 17 buck + shipping, but it is a lifetime replacement if anything happens to it
Not sure if it was suggested but get the Zagg screen protector and pop out the screen protector that comes with the Defender case. You'll be pretty protected.

I would look into ghost armor if I was you. They are the best screen protection I have ever found but I wouldnt order one and put it on yourself, they put it in a littlte hot box to cook it to the screen. Amazing feel, almost cant tell its there, and they do a little demo by intentionally scratching it with car keys and what not with no damage.
I've been pretty happy with tpu cases, very thin yet durable. I've actually dropped it a few times with no problems. And to top it all off I just got one off eBay for about $2.. I also use the cheap screen protectors because they feel smooth and if I scratch them it's not the end of the world.

Thats funny you say that. I am a field tech with Yale, the yellow forklift company, and thats actually what I did too for the first couple of months of owning the Rezound. I carried that sucker around everywhere with it inside of one of those little parts ziplock type bags from work.

Ok, I am kinda peeved right now. I bought a Diztronic TPU case shortly after purchasing my Note 2. The thing is just so slippery it screamed for grippy rubbery case. Fast forward a couple months and here I am taking my case off to clean out any dust inside it, only to find tiny pock marks all over the back of my phone. I swear it looks like a few grains of sand or something got in there, but I can feel nothing. I can only conclude even fine dust particles can scratch the back if caught between the battery door and the TPU case. Pretty disappointed my case has done more damage than keeping my phone nekkid ever would have. I baby my gear and this thing now looks like &#!$ on the back.
Anyone else experience this? Any better kind of case I should use when I order my replacement back? Or do I just need to be better about cleaning out the case more than once every couple months?
Thanks...

I have had this issue too. I bought a cheap TPU case off of Amazon while I was waiting for my phone to come from VZW and put it on after I had pkayed with the phone for a day. When it went in the case it was perfect, a week after being in it the battery door has deep scratches, the chrome bezel around the camera is scratched badly and the chrome bezel around the screen is DENTED IN! The case actually covered the bezel around the screen so it wasn't something in my pocket that did it, it was something that magically got in and out of the case. And lemme tell you those scratches and dents are especially noticeable on the Titanium Note 2...
After that I ordered 2 CruzeLite TPU cases, or whatever they call their cases, and thise worked much much better, my phone got no more scratches and was pretty welly protected. I still wanted something a little better though because I was still scared that if I dropped it that it would get badly damaged so when the Urban Armor Gear case was finally released I bought it and couldnt be more happy.
The sides are a way thicker TPU rubbery type material and the back is hard plastic. It gives the phone a more sturdy feel, like you could drop it and barely worry about it getting damaged. The few times I have dropped it didnt hurt the phone or the case, it is a very welly built case and doesnt add much more bulk than the CruzerLite TPU cases did. I would definitely reccomend you try one if you like the way it looks, the black and orange look really snazzy in my opinion, but I have a thing for orange soo....

I'm anal about my gadgets too. But when you put the case back on, you won't see the pock marks. If it still bugs you, just replace the plastic battery cover. That is why I prefer plastic instead of an all-metal body. If the battery cover gets messed up, you can always get another one. You can't fix damage on an all-metal phone like the HTC One. Yes it's a beautiful device, but once it gets the first scratch or ding, it will never be the same. Just like the first door ding on a new car

I've had this issue with previous cases on other phones in the past but not this time. What I did is within the first hour of getting the phone I wrapped it in that sticky wrap that's cut for our phone that they sale on Amazon then I put it in the case. One the phone looks sick wrapped up and two if I ever wanna pull the wrap off I will have a brand new phone with not one single scratch. Cause I found over time plugging a phone in every night in the pitch black before you go to bed eventually scratches around the port but not this time.

Yeah I found replacement covers on Samsung's site for $20. I know there's cheaper alternatives but I am always wary of knock offs. The bigger bummer is the sides of the phone are jacked too and ya can't replace those. Sucks. I was hoping to sell the Note 2 when the Note 3 arrived, but my resale value just took a nose dive.

I bought the Incipio Case LGND and have no regrets. You can find it on their website here http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...-cases/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-lgnd-folio.html or spend a little less and buy it from Amazon. However, I'd pay the extra extra money because it comes with a screen protector, cloth and lifetime warranty if purchased directly from the manufacturer. I don't have any issues with debris getting in between the back cover of the phone and the case. The phone is easy to place into the case and take out.
Always clean your case. At least ecery other day. Sabd and little dust particle will eventually get in there no matter how tight your case is.
As for me, I put on Xtremeguard back protector since I had the white version. I figured I can always peel the back and get higher resale value.
Over the years have realized that I can't stand using a case. Especially with the beautiful note 3.
Anyone else just keep it in their pocket like me and hope for the best?

Oh man I feel the same way. I love how the phone looks on its own without a case.
However if I did drop it and break it ill never forgive myself lol:laugh:
maybe ill just get a bumper
I can't stand cases. If it's a polycarbonate/plastic phone cases no makes now sense.
If it's a metal phone like iPhone/HTC one, then you sacrifice the sweet touch of aluminium on Ur phone.
Hate screen cases even more cos it adds so many steps in reaching upto the screen.
It's a phone for God's sake. You don't buy a BMW Z4 and cover it with plastic while driving.
I love to feel the aluminium and glass and hence no case no screen protector. That's the reason I guess we pay extra for Gorilla Glass.

Me too, can't understand why everyone is buying expensive cases, phone get's thicker etc.
In case you drop your phone a case is helpful, I agree to that. But, no risk, no fun.
Also with Gorilla Glass 3 there is no need for any screen protectors.

No case, but have squaretrade warranty.
No case here as well as no screen protector.
My wellsfargo credit card comes with free accidental insurance when I pay my phone bill with the card. It allows up to 2 claims per year and only have to pay $25 per claim. That's cheaper than paying for a good case and screen protector.
Currently naked (love the feel), but got a bumper off eBay coming soon.

Naked Here ..
I paid a LOT of money for this phone and I guess part of that is for the design.. It doesn't make sense to hid this beauty with some plastic .. saving the phone for the next buyer..
Well, when I do go naked it tends to get noticed more, and the police don't look upon it too kindly either
Seriously though, the first phone that "I went naked" with, was my Note 2. It got battered, so considering I've spent £100 more on this bad boy, I've given it a TPU condom
But just waiting for Spigen to make the slim armour case (or whatever it's called) then will give it some all round yet, svelte protection.

This.. And I dont use cases. Just look at the phone with one on makes it look so much think, ugly and down right crap. (Reminds me of bumber iphone cases) and it gets grit, dust and all sorts of crap in it the case. Just relax, use the phone as intended and don't keep it brand new looking in a case for the next owner. Enjoy it yourself.
You dont by a new car then keep the seat plastics and door transport plastics on it...No you use it as intended .
This phone cost 5500kr (990 USD) In Denmark (thanks Danish tax etc.) so I'm going for a thin bumper and a clear screen protector
No screen protector but I have to use a case or I get nervous, I'm very careful but I've had it slide in the car a couple of times and between seats where it would have been marred had no case been on it. I do take the case off when I'm relaxing at home to admire it tho lol. I use a clear case btw so I can see the back and it is hard gel providing more grip.
I won't think about going naked until full body protectors come out. Even though it doesn't protect from drops, at least it'll protect it from scratches.
The Good:
-Protection similar to the Otterbox commuter
-Lightweight
-Easier to slide in/out of pockets than Otterbox cases
-Buttons are tactile and responsive
-The edges have the most protection, because usually when you drop your phone it lands on it's edges
-Comes with a free HD screen protector
-Looks gorgeous
The Bad:
-Flash has some knock-back
-The microphone on the LED ring is covered
-Power and Volume buttons are covered, but there are slits on the side so lint and dust might get trapped in there
-UAG logo covers half of the Nexus logo, but you can pop the logo off easily
-No port covers
totally agree with everything you had to say about the uag case. same case i am using for me and my wife.
i do like the case and it is giving me the protection needed.
i really do hope that uag releases some more colors and when they do fix the camera issue so that you don't get ghosting on some of the pictures.
overall very good case, feel very safe with my nexus 6 in it.

Yes, overall a good case. Much better than my Cruzerlite bugdroid one I was using before, couldn't drop my phone from 3 inches using that.
I just got mine and the flash is unusable. I'm keeping it, I widened the flash surround with my Dremel but for the price I think it's unaccept. Seriously, how did uag release this with such a major flaw?
Also, is it possible for the mods to somehow combine the uag threads? There are 3 or 4 at least.
Probably designed and made the case based off CAD dimensions. Never actually tried it in a real phone.

Are you talking about the Cruzerlite? Those cases can take a large drop without hurting your phone. Check out the YouTube video with the Nexus 5 and a Cruzerltie case if you don't take my word for it. I dropped my LG G3 F460S in a Cruzerlite case down stairs over the summer and it was fine. I did break a TG screen protector when I dropped my G3 and it hit a sizeable rock but the phone itself and screen were perfect. TPU cases absorb a lot of the impact and help save your phone. I haven't bought a UAG because of the camera flash issue and the lack of color options but maybe they will release more eventually.
I have one on the way.
Not concerned about flash at all. I never use the flash on any phone EXCEPT for the purpose of a torch to see something.
The mic being covered up may be of concern, however.
That's something a well focused 1W 405nm laser can take care of, however.
All I want is something that will prevent the phone from getting wrecked if one of the kitties gets under my feet while walking down the spiral stairs and I have to toss the phone to grip the railing. Don't laugh, happened in the past and my Otterbox Commuter (on the S3) saved the day!
Don't have (enough) faith in my favorite (Diztronic thin TPU) case to give this kind of protection. I did drop my Note 3 from about six feet with nothing but the Diztronic TPU, fell onto concrete floor with zero damage. Case had slight scuff on corner. If that phone was naked it would have been dinged good so...
The Nexus 6 is pretty heavy so it needs some protection against drops. I'm careful but apparently not careful enough. Taking it on the ATV trails it's going to be well protected. UAG is about as good as Commuter and Speck for class of protection. Speaking of Speck it saved my HTC M7 from a 9 foot drop when getting out of a tractor and it fell onto gravel. Case scratched all to hell but phone was perfect!
How did you pop off the logo?

I just used the tip of my pocket knife.
To avoid damaging the plastic you will need something sharp and thin. I used the tip of an X-acto blade and it worked fine. Take your time! The letters peel easily once you get it started. They can be re-applied if desired.
Also I have no issues with using the flash with the case on.
If anyone has one that's having issues, try measuring the diameter of the cut out. I would be curious if they revised it.

It would be interesting to see if it was revised. If so hopefully the newer ones are at Amazon where I ordered mine from. Where did you guys order yours from, Amazon or directly from them?
I use the flash so rarely anyways it doesn't matter to me too much. Seems I get glare using the flash when I don't even have a case on.
I ordered mine from amazon and it definitely had flash issues. I would think it's pretty easy to see if there is a problem, it was incredibly obvious for me. Maybe some cases and/or some phones don't have an issue?
I got mine from Amazon last week and definitely do not have any flash issues.
The cutout looks very close to the rear mic.
Tonight I'll fire up the SLR and take a macro of it and post it.
I've had cases in the past with flash issues and can immediately spot them.
This isn't one of them.
It could be a revised version.
If possible could you post a picture of the back of the case with your phone in it? I'm interested to see if it's possible to spot the difference?
Don't know about ghost affect but the case is great. I took few pics in dim light. No probs.
I got mine today. It does seem like the black ring is really close to the camera and almost completely covering the mic by the camera. I don't know how I can tell if the mic is an issue or not. I'll be testing the flash to see how it is also, but I'm not sure if that'll be a dealbreaker for me since I rarely use it.
Ghost effect does exist. I contacted UAG guys, they said , the case will be exchanged with the revised one. But they also said please contact after 3months.
