Got a couple of UAG cases for the regular S7 and they are very hard to get the phone out of them. It's like you need a crowbar to remove the phone.:crying:
If you have a UAG case for the S7 is it tough to remove the phone from your case? :silly:
I start at the top then one side, going from a side first is very hard.

Not at all. Pull it from the top or bottom and it comes off very easily.
Agree, I also own UAG on S7 and you can put it off easily when you start from one side
Is the uag case actually a good one concerning drops??

An excellent case for protection, not bulky and imo unmatched by any case manufacturer for grip. Had one on my G4 and have friends with IPhones UAG's and we all have the same comments.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk
I do find the S6 + S7 revisions harder to take off than on previous versions of the case, but at least I know it won't come off when my phone falls
Same as above, I start in one corner (doesn't really matter which to me), and the rest general snaps out slowly.
Otherwise I push out the top + bottom of one side first.

Got one today at my local tech shop and i am really satisfied with the case. Quite expensive imo
Is the rubber lip near the usb port loose on yours too?

The rubber on the top of the port is a bit softer than the rest of the case but in no way 'loose' on my UAG case

i noticed that the phone was not 'sitting' perfectly in the case. i removed it and placed it back and the rubber lip above the usb port is no more loose.
del
Fortunately the phone is a bit difficult to get out of the case, but that's just the reason for the case, isn't it?
I start with the top-left corner and then gradually slide both down and right to get the side off.
And, indeed the rubber on the bottom is a bit soft (not loose!), I hope it will never fall on that side, because it might slide away and the glass could hit the ground

i am glad to see you here ,man
to me , i think when a case is hard to be removed , it means you can let your phone stay in the case for a long time
i have tested a case that is hard to remove , and guess what , i just keep my phone in it

Very. I do start from one corner, the bottom as I don't like starting from the top because I don't want to loosing my power or volume buttons. I find it difficult in every way possible and that's a good thing as you can abuse your phone with as many drops and slams on the desks as you want.

I got confirmation from Case-mate that this is the only case they make for our phone that will not cover the top microphone. I went ahead and ordered one using the Facebook discount. Go the their FB page and "like" them to get the code. If you are having issues PM and I will give you the code.

When you say the black barely there case, do you mean the normal plastic case (This one), or do you mean the AT&T specific brushed aluminum one in black (This one) the OP referred to? I'd like to know, even though Case-Mate might say otherwise, if all the ports, buttons, etc. are accessible in the normal plastic one.
Thanks

case seems fairly sturdy. the Incipio feather on my wifes atrix cracked on one corner (these are similar cases) but that was because of taking it on and off and its stiffer. On this case it seems easier to take off so I dont think it will crack as easily....unless maybe if you drop it alot or something.
Got my case!
I received my Barely There Aluminum today. Fit and finish is great as you can expect from a case that sells for $40! I really like the heft that this case adds to the phone. Without a case, I felt that the S2 was too thin and light. The feel of the plastic bumper is very nice. It feels satiny and "soft". To me, the plastic actually looks like powder coated metal. The aluminum back and chrome trim really makes this case look very classy. The camera opening has a little raised edge around it so when sitting on its back, the lens is protected. There is also a very small raised edge around the screen which will help protect the screen when placed faced down on a table, though dont expect major protection if the phone is dropped faced down and dragged across the floor. I only have 2 concerns: one is that the plastic on the sides does feel slick to the touch and two, the power button is a little hard to press. You really need to use the tip of your finger in order to press power.
This case may not be for everyone since it does leave the top and bottom exposed, but that is to be expected from a "barely there" case. Overall I am very pleased! So pleased in fact that I am thinking about getting the Case-Mate Pop or Tough for times when I need extra protection for the phone.
Umm...pictures?

Do you have any pictures?
Agreed. Pics would be fantastic, especially from a few angles. The ones on the Case-Mate website don't give enough for me to make a decision. Additionally, what parts are plastic? I figured an aluminum case would be.. well.. metal. Is only the back panel metal and the rest is plastic? If so I just don't think I can make myself spend $35-40 on it. :|
Another point of concern for me is that on their website, even though they say US AT&T version of the SGSII (which is the SGH-777 we all have) the pictures are of a GT-i9100. Am I correct in assuming that they're just posting a picture for a different phone but actually make a case for ours?
Question: Do the barely there cases.scratch up the sides? I had a similar case when I owned an iPhone and it scratched the sides where it clipped on to the phone.

Certainly not the only case that doesn't cover the top microphones, someone didn't use the SEARCH button... just thought I'd clear that up so people don't think there's only one case on the market that fits our phone, however hideous or GPS-blocking it may be.
Hey guys, I just ordered a couple of these:

I've been looking for a while, there's not many silicone cases for the transformer and I haven't seen these posted here so I thought I would share. They have a few different colors and they don't have a funky design on the back. I'll snap some pics when they get in and add them here along with a mini review.
That looks a lot like the Sikai case but is only $8 compared to $17! Nice!
Hmm, I wonder if you could chop off some silicone to make it compatible with the dock (although I guess it wouldn't close all the way still).

I just got the case delivered today. There are no cut out for the volume and power buttons, they are coverd with raise tabs so u know which is which. I prefer this way to cover the buttons so less chance of grime getting into those slots. The fit is good very snug but if u hold it in portrait mode the sides tend to strech out a bit, wish it covered more of the tablet. Very nasty smell on first use and so far don't seem to have much issues with lint.
I will most likely use this at home as both of my portfolio cases tend to put too much weight on the tablet. For 8 bucks what is not to like?
my bezel frame around my screen came off so I hadda do a ****ty super glue job. do u think this case will not only hold everything together but.hopefully protect it from further damage?

No, the sides are loose, you can move them with your thumb. What you need is probably a hard shell back cover case that is tight against the edges (or a portfolio case), don't know if they make them. these covers don;t really do any protection except for scratches on the back, you drop them any distance your tablet is history.
Here is my quick review of the new Incipio DualPro Case. First I want to say sorry for the blurry pics. Wasn't taken with the best camera, but I wanted to get this up now.
Right off the bat this case feels great. It's almost gel-like. It's made of a hard shell, and very soft inner part, but both feel the same. It's like a feltish feel. Reminds me of the Nexus One's back. Even though it was hard plastic, it had that soft touch feel to it. The buttons are extremely easy to press thanks to the soft inside material being the cover instead of the hard outer shell, or individual pieces like the Spigen Neo-Hybrid. The overall thickness is also less compared to both the Neo-Hybrid and the Spigen Slim Armor. It almost feels like the naked phone without a case.
The cutouts are spot on too. Just like the Slim Armor. No complaints overall. Again the headphone port has a deep cutout, so you will need an extension, or just use headsets with thin jacks. Anything larger than the headphones that came with it won't fit. The camera is tucked in just enough, so there is no fear of it contacting any surface when put down, and the front is thick enough to protect any sort of surface if laid face down. I'm really happy with this case. For me it's a toss up between the Slim Armor and this with the Neo-Hybrid last. Both the Slim Armor and DualPro feel great in the hand, but the DualPro feels a bit better with the super soft touch feel. Great case that you can't go wrong with. The color is Cyan.

Thanks for the pictures & review, this may be my kind of case. One question though, how is the gripping on the sides? All I need in a case now is one that provide sufficient grip, since the Note 3 is so thin and slippery on the sides that sometimes it literally slides off my hands/grip.
The grip on the sides Isn't super slick but I wouldn't call it grippy either. I'd try and check it out in a VZW store first hand. My only complaint is the TPU insert doesn't have much rigidity around the home button and the speaker. So it snags and doesn't stay snug so to speak.
I'm probably going to return mine when my Uag arrives

This is the only case so far that I'm really having an easy time holding. The Slim Armor was the best I thought, but this one is just a perfect increase in size over the naked phone. The rubbery texture is more than enough to grip. When you first put it on it may feel a bit slippery, but it's just the talcom powder they use in the molds for the silicone to be easy to get out. I wiped mine down, and now it's a soft rubbery grippy feeling case. I really like it a lot. Plus the sides are curved. There are no corners that you need to grip against like the Neo-Hybrid or Slim Armor. It's a very natural feeling to hold it since your fingers wrap the entire case. One bonus feature I found for me is the entire bottom is the very soft inner case, and the way I hold the phone I tend to put my pinky under the bottom as a brace. The soft gel really is easy on my finger. The other two case are hard on the bottom, and I would have to keep moving my pinky to stay comfy.

That's a good additon to mention. The top and bottom are both just the soft inner case. There is no hard outer shell to keep it pressed against the phone, so if you tend to put it in your pocket I can see it getting caught and pulled when you try to pull it out, but overall with it being on the case and used, it doesn't "wobble or flipflop" by itself. It's stiff enough to stay put, but easy enough to pull away with a slight tug.
Ah yeah I wasn't clear. It stays put until it snags coming in and out of my pocket. It's merely an annoyance.
My favorite thing about the case is how comfortable it is. Holding the phone naked now feels sharp and uncomfortable.

How'd you get your case so quickly? I pre-ordered directly from incipio.com about 2 weeks ago and still haven't received a shipping notice.
EDIT: Oh, apparently the blue and pink versions are shipping NOW, but the neutral white and black versions are taking a little longer. Ah well.

I'm special. LOL Yeah just as your edit said. I check sites daily, and when I see them in stock I order ASAP. That's how I get all my case in before everyone. I check first thing in the morning (around 8). I find I can order in the morning with "in stock" stuff, and by afternoon they are already out of stock.

I picked up a DualPro SHINE, Brushed silver color, from the Verizon store, They were able to pick up the day note3 came out. They still sell them, It's a the best over the counter case you can get IMHO at the moment.
How does this case compare to the spigen bounce? I just ordered the bounce to try it out.
I loved this case on my SG4 but it was a Lint & Dust magnent. I think there is a correlation with most cases....the grippier the case...the more dust and lint it will attract. Just got a UAG case for my new note 3 and it sits perfectly inbetween Grip and Lint spectrum!
Just ordered mine from amazon. How easy / not easy is it to quickly take off and put back on? Like if I wanted to swap batteries in my phone, would it be this whole ordeal? Thanks

It's very easy. One of the best cases if you need to do that. When it's on it's on good, but no fear of breaking something if you have to take it off.
Sent from a Galaxy Note 3 far, far away....
My older brother had the Shine version of the Incipio DualPro for his Galaxy Note II and it was pretty bulky with no easy way to take it off. I have the Spigen Slim Armor for my Galaxy Note 3 and considered it superior until I noticed a crack in the armor yesterday. It has never been dropped so I am pretty sure that it was caused by taking the phone in and out daily. I do this carefully one side at a time and push through from behind (camera opening) but it happened anyway. I would hope that the Note 3 version of the DualPro is easier.
Also, it was rounded so it probably wouldn't fit a flat metallic plate insert like the nGroove Snap uses. He also tried it with a Qi wireless receiver I sent him and it doesn't work through the case. I hope the Note 3 version is thinner.

I had a UAG case on my Note 3 but I hated it because it was very difficult to remove. It actually feels a lot rigid that those on my S3 and S4. The worst part is that it retains heat, so when I'm playing games, the heat goes higher with the UAG case than other normal cases, and it stays for a lonbegr time when I have stopped using the phone. This is also the same on my S4.
I have returned my UAG for the Note 3 and looking for an alternative that is not too bulky, and easy to remove.

Try Otterbox. I've got the Commuter, great case.
It's doubled the thickness if you count the edges on the screen, has flaps to protect the ports and is easy to pop off in one go. (By pushing off the top over the corners with both thumbs.) Haven't noticed any heat issues whilst playing heavy games. It never goes over 38ºC. (At which point my phone starts setting off alarms. So I'd have noticed.)
Mate of mine has the UAG on his note 3. Looks amazing, but it's too bulky for me. As ironic as this is going to sound, it has to fit in the (extended) pocket of my skinny jeans.
I have UAG and I have no issues with heating, only thing I dislike but not hate, is removing the case which is a bit difficult, but overall this case is elegant has very attractive looks and very protective.
I have 2 UAG cases and really like them a lot. I don't have any problems removing them, just undo one top corner and then the other and pop it out.
I only hate the honeycomb grip along the side, that's it. It's my only case and i have no plans on buying something else
I think it scratches relatively easily on the back which is annoying. Also, I think the cut out for the s-pen is unnecessarily large, looks like a total after thought in my opinion almost like they forgot to include it in the design. I have a tech 21 impact tactical which I prefer much more.

I dont like uag for the fact i had one for my htc on m8 and one on my s4 and both cases ended up leaving scratches at the cut out for the IR blaster. It looked really bad on my htc one bc it was the all black one. I had the commuter for my note 3 and liked it alot. It has a gloss back finish that did scratch kind of easy. I switched out for the camo defender. Left the commuter screen protector on and popped the defender one off. The defenders for the note 3 are alot slimmer then previous phones

I have tried otterbox before for my S3 and Note 2 and they are very bulky, so I don't like em.
I've always seen it as a perfect middle ground between size and protection. It's still fairly bulky compared to a TPU case but it's not a monstrosity or a lint roller like the otterbox cases.
very nice idea
The only thing that is bad about this case is that it's so damn hard to take off, I always feel like im going to break my screen trying to get the case off
Am I the only one who doesn't find it hard to remove? Anyways, I've loved and used Uag for my last 3 phones. I started using my Spigen Slim Armor, which I was liking better than uag since it was slimmer. But the slim armor scratches way too much on the back. Now I'm using the Caseology Carbon Fiber case which I am loving. Not nearly as much protection, but I think my Iloome Tempered glass and this case is plenty enough.

For those who finds it difficult to remove the UAG case, I had the same problem before until I found an instruction on youtube
Been using uag cases for my last couple of phones and love em
Never really noticed the retained heat before but ultimately pay attention to it from now on
I agree it's difficult to get off but isn't that the point of a protective case? I hate the cheap flimsy ones that easily snap off
When UAG was my main case, I found that pulling it off from one of the corners was easiest. Only thing is, I feared for my buttons because the edges rubbed on the buttons every time I took it off. I never bothered to youtube it, so I imagine I was doing it wrong, especially since the case often pulled off my back cover at the same time lol.

Protective does not necessarily mean diffcult to remove. For people like me who changes the battery specially when travelling, would appreciate a case that is easy to remove. The UAG cases for the S3 and S4 are ok and definitely easy, but I don't know why it is so hard on the Note 3 version. Maybe they use a better quality plastic on it.

Yeah it's actually incredibly easy to take out once you learn the trick to getting it off which is the method you mentioned. I usually take it out with one hand now.
I know the first couple times, I almost killed myself trying to take it out lol.
Currently I have a Diztronic TPU case and it's great except for the fact the the back is curved like the phone.
I often use my phone with it sitting on my desk. It's a bit of an inconvenience with it rocking back and forth.
Are there any minimal (TPU) cases that have a flat back?
Thanks

If you can, search Amazon and eBay. There are tons of choices available now. I'm sure you'll find one that suits your needs.

The back isn't flat.

The Ringke Fusion is not flat in the back, but it does have a groove in the middle so the phone doesn't rock back and forth. But actually using the phone while it's lay flat will cause it to wobble a bit.
Actually this is one of the biggest design flaws with the phone for me, and it's 'slipperiness'. How can you build such a thing? It lives and dies for me with the feeling I'll experience while holding it. The N5 was flawless in this way.
There's this thing, which would appear to even out the curve of the back so it can sit flat on a surface without rocking.

Just ran across this in another thread. Can't vouch for this personally, but it looks like the flattest back I've seen yet.

I would be apprehensive of a case the said it is made for the LG Nexus 6.

Clearly a typo. Doubt there's anything to be apprehensive about.
"MOKO"
I've been using one of these for a month now and I love it. It's not "minimalist" but it's very well made, grippy (which is very important to me), gives great protection with an excellent fit and its FLAT on the back. Also very light weight for all of the protection it gives. Came with a holster which I threw away, it still fits in my back pocket just fine.

Found this case, one of the few completely flat back cases for N6 so far.

Looks like it shares a similar design to Spigen's Ultra Hybrid buttons. I don't recommend these buttons, very difficult to realize what button your hand is being placed on unless you count which can be annoying rather than having the buttons separated from each other.

Thanks! Ordered one of the Evocel cases, $11 shipped with tax via Prime.
10-minute use review:
It's properly flat, sits flat on desk and does not rock at all when I type.
Back texture is almost smooth but not "slimy" like my previous Spigen Ultra Hybrid. No matter how clean your hands are, your fingers naturally produce oil that interacts in a very gross way with perfectly smooth plastic cases...this one is textured enough to not be annoying. It's not as soft-touch/grippy as the back of a Spigen NEO Hybrid though
Has reasonable friction to prevent it from sliding off a desk. The stock N6 or N6 in Ultra Hybrid case were terrible in this regard. It's a plastic back though, not a soft-touch material, so it will slide.
The back is very thick, material thickness is much thicker than Spigen Ultra Hybrid. It *substantially* increases the size of the phone, both due to its thickness and the obvious geometry change needed to make the back flat. The normal curved shape of the N6 is very helpful for making it pocketable, I'll have to see over time whether the flat back is worth the increased bulk.
Phone feels very secure in the case, was difficult to remove.

This looks like a winner for me. Besides not being able to tell what button you're hitting, it brings me back to the Spigen Neo Hybrid which I really liked. The one they made for the N6 looks really nice too with the metallic buttons, but they left the back curved. I will give this a try for sure.
Thanks!
For those having issues with the buttons on the Evocel case - I solved that problem by putting a puffy eyeball sticker on the power button.

Edit: it is rather minimal with the added us that it has the kick stand.
I just bought this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/33141407088...49&var=540591992061&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
It appears to have raised edges on the back that would keep it from rocking. I haven't even gotten my N6 yet, but I ordered the phone, screen protector, and case all at once. I ordered a "new other" Nexus 6 from ebay for $489. Seemed like a really good deal. No box or charger though.
