I did the exact same thing. I bought a carbon effect one from ebay (for next to nothing) to see how it looked, felt, protected the phone etc. and when it arrived, i was pretty happy. It looked decent enough and seemed to be of reasonable quality for the price so i put my phone in (which seemed to require an abnormal amount of effort) and then it appeared that the case was a little too tight. I then spent the next 20 minutes attempting to get my DHD out of it and when i finally did the imitation leather/material was starting to tear so i threw it away.
I also decided to buy myself a nice cheap Desire S style silicone/gel case from ebay (once again, for next to nothing) and i couldn't be happier! It offers more than ample protection and it looks great. So i'd advise that if you're on a budget that you stick to a gel case, unless you want to spend much more money on a higher quality leather flip case.

I think I've bought the same carbon case. It's a pain in the butt to get off lol

I purchased my case from Ebay uk the Seller username is phone_giants and the item is listed as"HTC DESIRE HD MOBILE PHONE LEATHER CASE COVER POUCH" hope this is useful.

PDair case
I've used PDair on both my Streak and Inspire, good quality and selection.

Me too,ideal for attaching to your belt as well as it comes with a belt clip,also have the htc one which I use to put into my shirt pocket,comes with a pull cord to pull it out of the case and protects the phone in your pocket/bag etc

I was quite rightly introduced (by the largest Vegan site on the planet) to the plight of animals when it comes to the meat and leather industry. So you might want to consider a TPU case or something else, especially after seeing these videos (i made a quick page).
I use a TPU case and it's been great alongside a separate sleeve. Thankfully there are many other options out there too.

Hi there!
I purchased this:
http://www.pielframa.com/htc-desire-hd-imagnum-cases.htm
The good:
Excellent general fit, durability and overall protection.
In a pinch the lid can double as a kickstand although within a rather narrow angle span.

The bad:
The fit around the micro usb port is a tad too tight but useable.
The ugly:
85€ + 15€ delivery to Greenland
Noreve looks cheaper but I have no experience with their products.

Regards ELO
All in all it´s the best case i ever had.
Oh - BTW. The belt clip looks decent enough but i never use it. I just stick the whole thing in a pocket somewhere. Pants usually.

[Q] thinnest case availble

I am looking for a super thin case, what do you guys suggest?

This is probably the thinnest case you're gonna find for the G2x.

I also have 2 Nillkin cases, which are very thin (thinner than any tpu I've put on), but this one is definitely even thinner.
There are also "skins" you can put on the phone, but if you ever want to use the phone in a dock, then the skin will cause a problem...so I prefer a thin case that's quick and easy to remove.
Here is the ebay link where I bought mine from. The auction is over, but I'm sure if you click around on that page, you'll find another auction with the same case: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320735735257&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Wow!!! That's a thin case.

Trident Aegis Case

lol...trident aegis is like the antithesis of "thin case."

thanks mm... that's exactly what i'm looking for. anyone else sell something like that in the states?
how long did yours take to arrive?

Anything from hong kong usually takes about 2-3 weeks to arrive
make certain that you notice there are areas of the phone that go unprotected with this case...it's light, quick to pop on and off, looks good, thin in your pocket. But if you drop it on the street, you're might have a problem.

what else do people suggest? if i wanted to go the full corner cover.

There is a pretty good tpu case at Walmart for like 15 bucks. Not thin compared to the nilkin, but covers the corners
EDIT: and is also one of the thinnest tpu cases i've seen

what's the brand name and do you have a link?

this is the case I have. Its cheap and its very thin. I have no problems with it. The only thing slightly off with this case is that it is difficult to hit the up/down volume button and the power button but its not too bad.

Ive been through 3 cases.
Thinnest probably is BodyGlove Grasp. I'm using that now.

Also, if your e looking for good protection, but fairly thin, easy to pull out of pocket, I recommend seidio surface case. It fully covers the case, but is thin and feels good in the hand. Someone here said the case scratched his phone, but I can't even see how thata possible because it is felt lined. I've had it over 2months now, and not a scratch. I got the optional holster with it, and I use it for most of my other cases. I have 8 for this p phone.
You don't wanna know where this was sent from.

do you have link for the body glove grasp? I would like to see that?

Is one corner of the G2x exposed with that case? If so, it's not worth it! haha

I have the maroon Ringke case, it seem pretty thin.

I have the Seidio case and have noticed a big difference after coming from the Body Glove.

My friend and I using that case right now, we ordered 2 different date (different sellers) and I got one with full cover and he got the one look like one on the pic. Btw, good case for the price, fit very good, exept the corner on his case.

I've got the TPU case from Amazon (can't post links, not enough posts yet) -- it really isn't thin at all... The corner is not exposed on the one I have. I mean, it was only $2.80 + shipping.. it fits perfectly, but it is just too thick for my taste, so I never use it. Without the case, the phone is nice and thin, with the TPU case, it is just too thick. The whole point in getting this phone it that it was less than 11 mm thick. With the case, it is more like 13 mm... meh..

LG Nexus 4 Ballistic Shell Gel SG Series Case Review

Ok I gave this case a good two weeks of use so here's an honest review. Please excuse my horrid writing skills :silly:
I bought this case from a vendor on ebay for $22 shipped to my door step (He only had one in stock). When I recieved the case it was sexy. The materials used to make the Ballistic cases are top notch. This case makes you feel like your Nexus 4 will not die when it falls off of something. It is on the larger side of cases but I like big bulky cases.
OK for the past two weeks I have been using the Ballistic case non stop. I have dropped my phone from a pretty tall height onto concrete using this case. I was on a tall ladder about 12ft high and my phone was on top playing pandora. Well I derped and forgot the phone was up on top when I went to move the ladder. Lets just say it sounded bad when myt Nexus hit the concrete. I picked it up thinking of the worst and what do you know the case protected the Nexus 4 from any damage! So the case paid for itself already! The only negative thing I can say about this case is the rubber used is a little too soft and it does collect dust. Other then that I give this case a 9.5/10!
Ballistic Cases make otterbox's look like cheap plastic snap together ebay cases compared to the LG Nexus 4 Ballistic Shell Gel SG Series Case. I will never buy from another casemaker again!

Thanks for the review.
Do you have a screen protector? How does the case fit with the screen protector?
Does the case cause the phone to get hot at all? I wonder sometimes if these thick cases cause devices to run warmer thus reducing the life of the phone.
Also is that a custom rom you're running? What clock/weather widget are you using?
Thanks again!

No screen protector on my device so I couldn't tell ya. Um no my device never gets hot with or without the case. And I am running the stock rom and the widget is HD Widgets.

What icons are you using on your launcher? Good review by the way.

Nice review. I have this same case and it is great. the response when pressing the power button is really good. The case makes the phone feel solid and secure in hand. I previously had the official bumper and while it showed off the phone it was slippery and I doubt it would have really protected it on a fall. I would have saved myself weeks of angst if I had bought the Ballistic case when I first got my N4.

Ultra Thin Air Transparency (crystal clear) review.

This is my quick review of Ultra Thin Air Transparency case. (-Crystal clear)
Let me start with the fact I HATE any cases. It's cover all beauty of the phone.
But after seeing this one, I ordered just for the sake of curiosity
You will ask me why SGP case witch is cost $25. Especially if you can find the same style of cases for the chipper price.
The answer I paid for quality. I know SGP for a long time. And during all this time I was not disappointed with quality and customer care witch is superior.
In the package you will find:
- Ultra Crystal screen protector
- Microfiber cloth
- 3 jelly bean buttons !
- Serial number (to verify the authenticity of the product)
- Spam (as usual)
- And case finally

Again I just order it my case. Nothing else, but SGP always pleasing gifts for us.
Even the box looks very detailed guys.
You will tell me who cares about that.
Agree, but again I see a little things where each dollar go....
Ok so I will not install free Crystal Clear screen protector. But if you interesting how the quality is? I will recommended to look my another review or another my review here
The quality of the case is top.
It designed for owners who prefer minimalistist-style protection that servers to accentuate the unique look of the phone while protecting it from damage.
Another good thing about it. All case is UV coated and this is very important.
It do not hide all phone design like with other cases. And most important all the sexy reflections still here. The case looks like made it from glass, not plastic.
Of course, the quality of the cut is impeccable.
It's ultra slim fit and super light weight.
Let's talk about protection. It will not secure your phone like some other cases. Example: "Otterbox". But it will give you maximum protection as it can with minimalistist-style.
As you can see there is a gap. It is safe to put the phone like that.
Lets move to something else. I was smiled when I saw that.
While playing with the phone randomly I activated in accessibility selection "Flash notification".... and forgot to turn off. During the night I woke up because of the fact that some light flashing in my room.
Check this out. (sorry for the bad quality pictures)
guys it's really bright and even if you fully close your flash light, it will still glow
Even at day light you can see it.
Some another picture:
Conclusion:
-$25 in my opinion is worth it ! (many gifts, many surprises)
I definitely recommend this case If you are looking for something more than just protection.
Other colors are also available on the official site.
Beware of fake products

Thats cool. I love these kind of cases. Minimal and sexy. :thumbup:

looks nice, would of consider it if the case went around the entire outside edge.

Nice thanks for the pics. I am considering this case too but will probably go with Luvvitt's version: http://www.amazon.com/LUVVITT®-CRIS...=1370581581&sr=8-3&keywords=luvvitt+galaxy+s4
I have Luvvitt case for N7 and N10 and they are very high quality.
Is that "13" in the case or the on the phone?

i love spigen products but sometimes they are too expensive. i bought a ringke ultra slim case in black which pretty much looks like this one but not transparent and it was only $6.99 on amazon

I don't know. I don't see it mentioned in the description, just says anti-scratch. Here is the manufacturers link: http://www.luvvitt.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-case-siv-s-iv-clear.html

I also have it
along with about 10 other
I feel that it no fits snugly
talk for my case naturally perhaps in others differ
somehow there is a slight gap
many like it, but do I not use it for that reason
Does anyone have a similar opinion
Sorry for my bad English

I have a Ringke Slim since I bought the phone 6 months ago, it's pretty much the same but not transparent, I love it, but I am looking for a slim case like these, rigid, but that covers the top front and bottom front.
Do anyone know of something like this? I LOVE thin cases but I want something that covers all the surface, not just the sides.

I have this case for quite some time
whenever I put it on I feel that somehow not tightly around the phone
I do not know is it my only, or there are other people who are of this opinion

Aluminium bumper and case

Has anyone used these before? Product description says that it doesn't affect signal, but from memory apparently it does for other phones.
Just wanted to check other people's experiences on this type of case. Looking at these two at the moment.
Also would this fit nicely with a tempered glass screen protector?
Aluminium bumper with tempered glass back
Aluminium bumper with acrylic back
(note I had to remove links as I cannot post it yet, but you can find them on aliexpress quite easily.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Redm...hweb201527_3_71_72_73_74_75,searchweb201560_4
i received this replacement back case (all on aliexpress seem the same model) for a while but i'm not satisfied with it. The back with the "glass" feels quite nice but the "aluminium-frame" on the side is just 4 too thin aluminium-stripes glued on the plastic case. the stripes also easily bend when you are trying to remove the case.
i will stick with the original back case until there is some single aluminium frame/case to buy!

If you search "Aluminium Metal Bumper Frame phone Case for xiaomi redmi note2 Ultra Slim hard Hippocampus Buckle cover" it might be what you're looking for. Im not sure if its full metal alloy though.
Or luphie brand seems good, but more expensive. looking for reviews now.

any bumper and case cheap?
