Unicorn beetle case - Nexus 6 Accessories

Anyone else have this case? I just got mine in today and I love it so far. It hasn't added too much extra bulk to it but I wish the screen protector was higher quality and somehow protected the speaker holes a little better.

The power and volume buttons are a dramatic improvement over naked.

I love this case but the screen protector is not as good as a otter box or life proof case but I think I will just pop it off and replace it with a skinomi tech glass

I love this case as well, the grip is excellent and it's not too bulky.

Nice case but too much money. Just bought a highly protective case for $4.99 off ebay that will protect just as much. Not as good looking as the beetle, but does the job a lot cheaper.

Looks like a ballistic case.

Anyone have any of the SUPCASE Cases?
I am looking at the

http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Case-...TF8&qid=1407161034&sr=1-4&keywords=lg+g3+case
I have the Spigen Slim Armor now but its too slippery and the back scratches easily.
The bigger cut outs of the back buttons on the SUPCASE look like they would be better then how the SlimArmor is setup.
Can any provide any pictures of theres and how they like it? Or if they bought one but ended up not liking it and getting something else?
I received the first one you mention on Friday (clear/black) and I love it.
The fit is tight and the cut outs are perfect. It keeps the phone pretty slim and looks great with the clear back.
I had a similar case for my galaxy s4 from poetic and it was just a great look for me.
If you're rough with your phone and it gets banged around alot or dropped alot, then this might not be for you.
It offers average protection, which is good for me 90% of the time as I work in an office or I'm in my car.
For slightly better protection I bought the verus iron shield which I should be receiving today and am very excited about.
It also looks great and will protect my g3 a little better on the weekends.
Anyway, I do highly recommend the supcase after a few short days and the price is pretty good too.
As far as pics, the ones on amazon do it justice.
Hope this helps. There are many good cases and you won't do wrong with any of them.

Thanks for the input.I was looking at the Versus Thor case also but some reviews said it affects signal. And the back button cut out on is tight like on the slim armor and that kinda bothers me..The supcase button cuts are larger which i think would be better
I'll let you know about the verus as I'll have it this afternoon.
I read the same about signal but I also read in more places that it wasn't true.
The video reviews on youtube really sold it for me an hopefully I like it as much as I think I will.
Take it easy.

I have the first one and agree with bkrickels.
I might prefer something a little thinner, but this certainly isn't bulky. No complaints on the back buttons with this.
Definitely no issue with signal. I can keep a call up every time driving on this one road that my GS3 dropped the call on every time.
I do hope Qi works through this case. I'll probably know that next week when my sticker comes.

Back button complaint was on the Verus Case and my slim armor..signal issues was geared towards reviews on the Verus case
I got the Unicorn Beetle and so far I like it. It has a good feel in your hands but it does add some bulk to the rear of the phone. It is a somewhat thick case and does add some mm onto the phone and weight.
I forget how much it does so until I remove the case and feel how light and thin the G3 actually is.
It does offer some great protection and this case WILL NOT bounce or fall apart during a fall or impact. The G3 fits impressively nice and snug in its case.
It is a PITA to remove the phone though, this thing is practically cemented in but once you know how to get it off, but just doesn't take as long but still is hard to do so.
It does come with a built in screen protector but I didn't need it because I had a tempered glass one installed. So I removed it and then had to spend half an hour removing all the glue that was holding it in place. The damn protector just pops out and leaves ALL its glue and adhesive on the inside of the front section of the case.
I used Goo Gone, thinner, hot water and soap and I still had to scrub it off. What a PITA...
But, I need a rough and tumble case for my job and the Unicorn does it.
Just be forewarned, it does add a bit of bulk and weight to the phone but it feels good holding it and! It has its corners notched off, giving it a Galactica prop like effect.

Thanks for the info..This Unicorn Beetle PRO Serie is case I am leaning towards..On my past phones Glaxay Nexus and Note 2 i used Otterbox defender and Seidio cases. So I would assume this adds about the same bulk.
Do you have any pics of the phone in the case or side by side to how much bulk it does add?
Also curious if the back scratches easy or holds up well.
I have a glass protector also so id be removing the bultin one
Ordered the Verus Thor from Amazon and I ended up sending it back. To me, it wasn't slim. It added some bulk to it. I have the Seidio Surface and I love it. Minimal bulk and still keeps near its original form factor.
i have the one with the clear back and i had it on my m8 and it is one of the best cases out there.
I just got my G3 on Friday and the first thing I did was go on Amazon and order the Clear/Black Supcase and temepered glass screen protector. They really make the best slim TPU style case. Nice and tight fitting, never had to worry about the material stretching on your like other TPU style cases. If there is a Supcase for my device im running it plus tempered glass and im good! Can't go wrong with it.
Not concerned with the case keeping a slim design..I'd rather have protection over looks
Using a Supcase, black with black.
Slim and works fine with my tempered screen protector.

I'm rocking the Hybrid Case and love it. I've been an exclusive Spigen customer for years but their case had that cutout which turned me away. This Supcase has the same protection level and looks just as good. The clear back keeps the phones sharp look too. Highly recommend!
I have the first one in gray/clear on my white G3. Looks good. Good protection. Have to agree on earlier post that it is difficult to remove phone from.
Did you look ringke max case? For me is perfect one
i bought both!
i love the frost one and the bigger when when i plan to go outdoors (camping, hiking)
but the slimmer frost one is my daily.
I have one but found the straight edges make it a little uncomfortable to hold. I've gone back to the ultra slim gel case from eBay for about 2.99 feels great and noticeably lighter.
i have the slim sup case.
I like how tight fit it is, even though sides are soft, because fit is so tight, it doesn't move at all. really good case
i don't like how the back is so slippery.
try the Digtronic one too.. I'm tempted to order that one as a backup case.
I have the first case you posted in clear with Gray edges. It looks great on my white phone. My only complaint is that the cut outs on the bottom are uncomfortable. When I am playing with my phone for a while. They irritate my pinkie.

Tudia Ultra Slim Lite vs. Diztronic Matte Black TPU

Hi everyone, just switched from my Nexus 5 to an LG G3 today. First priority is to pick up a decent case and screen protector combo.
Been reading on the forums but haven't really found many definitive answers.
I've been looking at 2 cases:
-Tudia Ultra Slim Lite
-Diztronic Matte Black TPU
If anybody can shed some light on which will offer a better fit and grip/feel in the hand, and which is more compatible with a wide variety of screen protectors,
it would be greatly appreciated.
Lastly, I've noticed a ton of screen protectors seem to have one large rectangular cutout for the earpiece and sensors which I do not like.
Which companies offer the most screen coverage? (Doesn't have to be glass)
I've noticed these Spigen Crystal Clear protectors show precision cuts but who knows how accurate that is
http://www.amazon.ca/Protector-Spig...373279&sr=8-5&keywords=lg+g3+screen+protector
I would like to put in orders this weekend so I can start using this badboy to its full potential!
Thank you in advance, hopefully I'll be able to shed light on other questions in return sometime soon.

Diztronics makes great quality cases. Was not a fan of the feel of tudia case for my g2. Cruzerlite cases are legit as well.
I don't have any pictures, but I have the Diztronic and love it. It has a nice feel and doesn't smudge like a gloss tpu would.
It's paired with a Zagg glass screen protector and fits well. For a glass that has precise cutouts the PThink brand that can be found on Amazon has just the earpiece cutout. I would have gotten that one if I found it before buying the Zagg.

Thanks for the replies guys, I ended up ordering the Diztronic + Spigen Crystal clear protectors
Just thought I'd give an update here, possibly for anyone looking for a good case for their phone.
Got my diztronic in the mail today, and it makes me wonder why I never bothered to order one of their cases in the past.
For the price you pay, you're getting a great fitting case which looks good and feels good in the hand. Doesn't seem to add much extra bulk to the phone either.

Did you get the regular TPU case or the ultra version of it? Both are nice! I'd also recommend the Tactical Impact by Tech21. It is similar to the Diztronic but the TPU is more rugged and interior is lined with D3O material. Awesome case for $20

I opted for just the regular diztronic TPU as I didn't want to add any significant bulk to the phone but still have some sort of scratch protection
One thing that worries me about it though is if the matte coating were to start rubbing off.
This happened to a rearth ringke case I purchased for my Galaxy S2 way back when. That was quite disappointing
You shouldn't need to worry about wear on the diztronic case. I've had one on my Galaxy S3 for a couple years without any visible wear and it goes everywhere with me.

What Case Has Provided The Best Protection? This is For The Regular S7.

Was just Wondering What Case Has Provided You With The Best Protection With Your Phone? Was Just Wondering Cause I Have The Otter box Commuter And Just Wanted To Make Sure I Chose The Best Case That Will Protect My Phone. Thanks for the feedback! I will hit that like button.
Any cheap rubber or plastic case that is higher on all four sides than the screen will protect the phone amazingly. After that it is just a matter of style and materials to your preference IMHO. A 1 dollar case off ebay or aliexpress will protect the phone fine. It might look like crap but it will protect the phone AFAIK.
Do you care only for protection or also for compactness?
First of all make sure the case you want to buy is military grade tested.
For pure protection you should buy a case with a front tpu cover like poetic revolution, otterbox got one i think as well.
If you care for protection but also for compactness then i would go for UAG, Evutec or otterbox symmetry or spigen slim armor if on limited budget. There are more, i am just naming a few.
Go with the "Unicorn Beetle" case. It's compact and hugs the phone great. Great protection, screen protector and comes with a strong holster. I've had this case for all of my phones. Great product and the price is right on ebay for about 17 to 25 dollars!

I completely agree with you. My case who had raised sides, protected my phone from a 2 ft drop on tiled floors. Dropped on bottom left corner first, then stopped screen down. To my amazement no crack or scratches on the front & back glass.
My case:

I use the incipio dual pro on mine and it has survived many accidental drops Adds a tiny bit of size but I personally like the grip and size much more with the case on. Also power button and volume buttons on the case feel great and I never accidentally press them.

I got pelican voyager, paid too much for it but it's all I'll need
+1 on the Incipio DualPro.
I also like, in no particular order, the Vena Tough Armor Wave; Diztronic Voyeur Series; Spigen Tough Armor; and the OtterBox Symmetry Clear Series.

you made a good choice! I use my Otterbox Commuter every day. It's always my first choice of case when I get a new phone. Great protection, but not as bulky as a Defender case.

Spigen tough armor are awesome cases. I had one for my S5. Love it.
I have a Rugged Armor for my S7 and love it as well.
I've personally been using a case-mate tough. Pretty good and the buttons feel great.
I'm using rhinoshield with no regrets

Actually Commuter is a very protective case for your S7. I'm using it too. But you know that there is another series from Otterbox that is more protective but also more bulky than Commuter, that is Defender.
I have an Artech21 Little Rock for my "rugged" case. It's "Military Grade" and whatever other fancy catchphrases you wanna use. But I don't put much stock into those phrases... It's fairly difficult to install/remove. Because of that, the phone won't pop out, even if you were to throw it as hard as you can across the room (that's not to say the phone would survive inside). But the case IS plenty strong. Honestly, my only 2 complaints are that A) the tempered glass is like a half inch more narrow than the screen (but at the time of purchase, not a single tempered glass screen protector covered edge to edge flawlessly (loss of sensitivity, haloing, etc.). And, B) I'm not a big fan of the designs. When other models like the Vivid Arkansas look so damn unique good. The Little Rock just looks super plain. Of the cases I own, the Little Rock is easily the strongest, while the Vivid Arkansas is much thinner, it looks MUCH better. And it still provides plenty of protection itself. And I can't speak for cases I don't own. But the Little Rock is easily the toughest. The Vivid Arkansas looks the best. And while it doesn't provide the hardcore protection of the Little Rock, it has saved my phone on a few drops, one I expected to be bad. But not a scratch

best rugged case?

i do construction and just got the note 8 . looking for the best heavy duty/rugged case
i wanted the otterbox but read really bad things about it so i dont think ill get that
i . was looking at the spiegen tough armor its pretty cheap looks good and seems good
any suggestions?
So Here is my 2 cents.... The Tough Armor is a great choice BUT... only works well with a small number of CASE FRIENDLY screen protectors.... I am currently rocking the SAMSUNG BRANDED RUGGED CASE and I LOVE IT! Tough Armor will probably provide a little better DROP PROTECTION ( I'm guessing because of the 2 layered protection) but the Samsung seems tough enough and works with a FULL SCREEN PROTECTION FILM PROTECTOR, and LOOKS GREAT TO ME.
Ghostek Nautical... hands down thee best. I've dropped this thing from atleast 15 feet up and not even a scratch on the bumper! Also waterproof to 20 foot down.
I have the Urban Armor Gear Monarch, I like this over the Ghostek, a little more $$ but definitely worth it. I have a case friendly screen protector film on it too.
Second on the Urban Armor Gear it's a great case from my experience from them. I however am rocking a clear Spigen case.
Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro
It is a very good price and good feeling.
Protects and feels better than the otterbox, lasts longer than the otterbox, protects better than the otterbox, has a belt clip, has a screen protector unlike the otterbox, WAY less money than the $70 otterbox, Wireless charging and NFC work through it, It is decently slim and easy to fit in mounts.
I have this case and have dropped my phone 9+ times and it sounded very soft when it dropped so it was good protection apparently
Around $7 to $12.

Help: Toughest S8 Cases

Trying to look around for the toughest S8 cases out there. Seems most people search for ones that look good, or are slim.
I would like to know if anyone know of a couple, I honestly don't care if it looks bad or has bulk, toughest ones you know of. For now I have heard of UAG monarch, supcase Unicord beetle, spigen tough armor. Hard to find decent reviews since most of the seem biased.
Thanks in advance, and if you know of any decent TG screen protectors feel free to drop a recommendation as well!

Well I use the spigen tough armour on my s8+ and previously used it in my s6, it provides great all protection, plus you can get different colour panel, it's a thick silicone rubber case which has a wrap around hard plastic cover for the further protection and aesthetic, top and bottom from lips so that if the phone falls down even front down the screen never touches the ground and has the added bonus of a little kickstand to watch Multimedia
+1 on the tougharmor. I am using it on my S8 Active, and it is an excellent small case! Not as protective as the otterboxes, but is significantly smaller than it. Tough Armor is my vote as well!
I'm using Incipio Stowaway and it's a tank. I've dropped it a bunch of times and not a scratch on my S8
Otter box defender on all my devices
I have the Unicorn Beetle on the S8+. It is a very tough case and not too expensive. It is a two piece case. Hard to put on and off. I am using it with a film type screen protector, so no experience with glass screen protectors, but it looks like it should work with one. I cut the flap for the charging port off because it was a pain to get open every time I go to charge, but it doesn't seem to reduce the protection.
Your local home improvement store has a giant bag of cement mix you can buy for about $10. Mix that up, and toss your phone in the mixture, and it'll never break!!! ??
