The only case I see available for the vibrant is the Amzer silicone skin cases on amazon. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
Wrong subforum
...just realized that
I like the black one T-Mobile sales. It fits great and feels good. And will do a good job of protecting it.
Invisible Skin for Sammy Vibe
I haven't tried them, but the invisible shield at Zagg looks good and they have them for the Vibe.
Black case from T-Mobile. If you checked the Accessories forum you would see a lot of others agree on it being a great case
I got a couple of the tpu cases off ebay for my wife and I and they fit and look great. Plus they are cheap.
Try Ebay. Although, it states Galaxy S but it fits my Vibrant very well and it's cheaper than T-mobile store.

I would suggest to browse through ebay and Amazon for something that fits your style.

there's a purple silicone in the Sprint stores now...and then there's the OtterBox there too.
how about a TPU case. something like THIS for instance. I've never used a TPU case, so i cant really vouch for their quality. But it seems that everyone loves em.
Hey guys I just got the Evo and want to get one of those Skin covers that sticks to the whole phone without having a ton bulk. You guys have any preference on what works well and protects stuff well?
Edit:
Sorry but I see tons of posts on this so I am going to look through those, also see lots of posts about the camera lens cracking, is there a back that will protect my camera when I set it down.

Ringke is a new case... $17 free shipping.
I am currently trying it out.. and I have to say.. it is really great. worth it.
NOT same as the other soft covers that feel like crap and sticky and grab lint from your pockets.
the gray transparent cover does seem a little tight, so go with the other colors.
Seidio Innocase surface. Very little bulk and protects the camera when set down.

meh, i got a silicone case, a car mount, and a car charger all for less than 16 bucks delivered from amazon.
my case cost somewhere between 1 penny and 3 pennies. it has a good grip to it, protects it from falls, and doesn't add much bulk. i actually like it because it's silicone, rather than plastic, and therefore slippage is minimal. handy if the phone is on a slick surface.

It doesnt have the rubbery feeling, so it goes in/out of your pocket like if it didnt have a cover.

that looks pretty good.
I highly recommend the Seidio Innocase II. It's rubberize plastic, thick enough to endure those brutal drops but thin and slick enough to slip into your pocket. Seidio also sells a belt clip that goes with its Innocase II. Highly recommend if you're carrying it with you to work.
As for one of those clear covers, I highly recommend Phantomskinz. I did a ton of research before committing myself to phantomskinz and found out that their protective screens are slightly thicker than most of the competition and they provide you with two sheets -just in case you mess up.
If you're interested in utilizing both (Sedio Innocase doesn't come with sheets), then I'd get the innocase and a front screen cover from phantomskinz. You don't want to buy the whole body cover from phantomskinz because the innocase II has pretty low tolerances when you try putting it on and realize that it wont fit.
I just bought the case mate barely there from newegg for $9.99 plus free shipping. It protects the back and sides but not the top or bottom. This case with my screen protector should hopefullly be enough protection for me without adding too much bulk.

that is crazy!!! big...
like a tank... ugly in my opinion.
great to have, if you think you are going to be in a rough area.. this is great. but not an every day cover.
I hate to add all that heft to my sexy thin device.
As a compliment to a good case, I ordered Stealthguards for all my phones. Work great and the screen protector is smooth.
Also....they are free. Just pay the $2.?? for s/h. Pretty darn good deal if you ask me. And, I took the cutout for the camera and put it over the lens so it doesn't ever get scratched.

I'm a minimalist, so I went with the smallest possible case: Case Mate's Barely There
This is a very high quality case. Truly a skin tight fit. I've dropped the phone a few times and no damage.
Comes with a screen protector I gave to my buddy and he says it's great.
I paid retail (~$25 incl. shipping) but NewEgg has it for $10 shipped: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875998756
Says OOS til Monday.
i used to think the body glove was the best and it was for the hero but for the evo it sucks. broke on me in 3 weeks time. i got fed up and went to my local mall and bought a matte black standard case and it looks and feels great. only $20 too. seems to even keep the dust out more.
My wife and I have two different needs with our incoming Nexus 4's (shipped today! )
She needs something beefy. She will drop it, and she'll drop it while out riding a horse. If at all possible, water resistant would be a huge plus. I'm currently thinking the Ionic GUARDIAN Armor Case or the Ballistic (which is unfortunately currently out of stock). She has an Otterbox now for her Galaxy Nexus and loves it, but I don't see anything for the N4 on their site. The armor would be perfect.
On the other side of things is me, I need something to prevent the occasional drop, but still fits nicely into a suit jacket without looking like I'm carrying an old school nokia. I have no idea - Ringke Fusion maybe?
Any help you all could give, and screen protectors that are friendly, which be much appreciated
I'd say for you I'd recommend the poetic borderline bumper with some bestskinsever bumper optimized skins for the front and back. I made the mistake of grabbing the xtremeguard protectors to get with the bumper and it was quite a chore getting the bumper on without the protector peeling. I absolutely love the poetic bumper, it's just as nice as the official for about a third of the cost, and comes with a 3 year warranty.
As for your wife, I dunno I haven't really dealt with heavy duty cases. Wish I could be more help there.

Thanks, I appreciate the input!
OtterBox won't be making any cases for the Nexus 4. Your best bet for a Ballistic, if they are out of stock is on Ebay. That's where I got mine, but the seller is now out of stock. Several others are selling them, so you can try one of them. I'm very happy with the case and am confident it could survive a fall if it occurred.
On screen protectors, HALO is getting pretty good reviews in the Halo HD thread.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2132886. They're inexpensive compared to the more well known brands, but seem to be comparable. I have a Matte version and am happy with it.
There are lots of options for slim cases, but keep in mind many only protect the sides and back, so if drop your phone and it happens to hit the top or bottom, you may crack your screen despite having a case on it.
Good luck and let us know what you decide on.
I've never used the Ballistic with a Nexus 4, but I've used it with my iPhone and HTC Sensation phone. I'd say go with the Ballistic case if you want full protection. For the screen protector, I'm still looking for a good one myself but I think the XOskin one is good.
Can't make a recommendation for your wife, however for you, I LOVE my Seidio Active case. Protects all sides + back and special protection on the corners. Only adds 2.2mm.

A ton of fantastic replies, thanks all
That seidio looks slick, I think I'm going to have to give that a shot for me!
I wanted to get the ballistic for her, but its out of stock... so I picked up the Ionic Guardian for now, and am on the list for when the ballistic is available again on Amazon. Those Halo HD protectors definitely have gotten some great reviews, so I picked up the 3 pack, I'll see how well they work for us.
Thanks again, will post an update once the phones (Tuesday maybe?) and the cases/protectors (should be in on Wednesday) are both in :good:
THe ballistic in Black/Pink is still available in case you need.

I have a spigen ultra crystal screen protector and I love it. Still doesn't have a single scratch on it and my case doesn't peel it at all.
The case I got it the hybrid fusion by re earth.
And for a back skin I suggest dbrand skins. I have a black carbon and it looks awesome. And my are doesn't cover it because it has a clear back.

Hey guys whats going on, Well Looking for a new case for my galaxy s5.
What do you guys recommend?????
Right now I have a OtterBox Defender case, it is a lil Big and already Broke on me, and the Silicone also has ripped.
Trying to see what everyone is using and what has the best protection. Im a construction worker so I like sumthing really durable. Thanks guys
UAG.
i also have the otterbox but i think it's horrible.. makes the phone twice as thick and much bigger.
now i ordered the ringke slim case, i also had a ringke on my nexus 4 and that one was fantastic.
Might want to check out thewirecutter's guide (no link because I'm new )

Yeah I was looking at the spigen tough armor. Looks good. But I also want something to protect the Glass of the phone.
Why would you 50$ for a phone case? On chinese webshops you can get cases like those for around 3-7$. They may not be of the same quality but in combination with a tempered glass protector you will get protection of around the same level!
So my wife and I just upgraded to the new S7's. I decided to get the Edge, my wife got the normal S7. It was very easy to find a nice protective case for her phone,(which she absolutely loves) but as much as I really like the bigger screen and this neat edge design, I am weary of dropping it and breaking the screen.
Ive been scouring the internet trying to find the best protective case I can find that isn't ridiculously bulky. Naturally there are many opinions of which are the best.
At the moment, Im trying the Spigen Neo-Hybrid crystal premium bumper case. It fits really nice. Looks pretty good. It has a 1.3mm bezel around the corners,(1.8mm around the camera)which is decent, but I wouldn't mind something with a bit more protection. This case does seem to cover a bit more of the edge panels than some other pics of protectors Ive seen. I used a UAG case on my S5 for nearly 2 years now and I can't even tell you how many times I dropped it and there isn't a scratch on the thing! But Im kinda tired of that same ol' style they keep sticking with, and I dont know how good their Edge case actually is. Style is a bit important to me, but quality of protection definitely takes priority. I dont own a wireless charger yet, so getting a case that supports it isnt high on my priority list.
So , what are you all using to protect your S7 edges? Ive been looking into many brands and I keep finding ones that I havent even heard of before! Ill list some of the ones Ive seen recommended in a following post.
I'm using the Spigen Tough Armor and it's fantastic. Probably dropped my phone about 4-5 times and it's done it's job. It fits really snug and isn't bulky at all. It's on amazon for 17.99. If you have any questions about that case let me know

Cool. I've been considering trying the Tough Armor. I think I'll give that a try.
I use the tough armor as well. Dropped phone many times lol. Love it.
Edit...
Also just ordered a hybrid. Kind of a otterbox looking case, off of eBay.

Cool. My tough armor should be arriving today. Looking forward to checking it out. I want to make sure my Edge stays as protected as possible without walking around with a something the size of a retro Sony Walkman cassette player in my pocket lol.
I also got this screen protector called IllumiAquashield. I heard good things about it. Its a little tricky to apply, but I've seen in videos that it looks incredible when applied properly. Im really picky about screen protectors, but I know the Edge is a bit more fragile than the regular S7, and I can't afford to take any chances.
Just an update, got my other case yesterday, seems good, however it's massive. I'm going back to my tough armor. I'm also looking for a good screen protector.

I use the Samsung branded clear case. It's very minimal and doesn't interfere with the edge of the screens. This, and the iPhone 6S Plus I had before this, are the only phones I've ever used cases on. I never really liked the feel of the phone with cases and it takes away from the phone and the way it's meant to be. However, these last two clear cases have been nice.

I'm using the otterbox defender on my s7 edge. I also own the supcase unicorn beetle pro. Been rocking the otterbox defender for the built in screen protector and it's a bulkier case so I feel it will provide the most protection of the 2 cases.

I've been using the Cover-Ups Explorer case. It has minimal drop protection but looks very nice with the wooden back. However, today I ordered a SUPcase Unicorn Beetle Pro (what a terrible name!) because it looks like it can be installed over screen protectors without any issues.
I gotta say, the Spiegen Tough Armor is wonderful so far! My phone feels much safer than it did in the other case! I think Ill be sticking with this. Buttons are a little tougher to press vs. the Neo Hybrid Crystal, but Its worth it for the extra protection imo.

I grabbed the IllumiAquashield off of Amazon. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F5VMRCM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Im pretty picky when it comes to screen protectors. This is really great so far! Its a wet application and when done properly it looks fantastic! Can hardly tell that there is a protector on the screen. Just read the application tips that people added in the reviews if you decide to get it.
Its also case friendly. Fits perfect with my Tough Armor, and there's no sign of the edges lifting up from taking the case on and off. Im genuinely impressed. The kit comes with 2 protectors and they guarantee them for life.
Some pretty respectable points about the company aside from the warranty too. Theyre made in America and manufactured using 100% renewable energy ( just in case you care about that sorta thing).
Like I said, My application went on flawlessly, so if you have any questions, just shoot me a pm!
