Still to new? Where are all the decent cases? It looks like that the only really good case is the Otterbox... Great case but adds a lot of bulk to an otherwise thin phone. Post your pics if you have them!
Thanks!
I ordered 3. Thanks

Its a very nice, slim case! (Check Ebay for it!)
NOTE: they are available in four colors: Red, Gray, White and Brown (the one I have).
The best comparison would be a casemate slim case when it comes to added bulk. This is a very strong case, but doesn't offer much protection.
It has a textured pattern on the back for added grip, which makes it easy to handle.
But I guess if you don't use your phone as a frisbee or hammer, this offers enough protection for the people that want to keep their device slim and stylish.

If I use the standard leather case that comes with Athena then this little call info screen that tells us who is calling (when Athena is close) is useless.....isn't it?

If I don't use this leather case then there is 50% chance that I will drop the screen from the key board...Its risky...
Is there any other way that we can use this little call info screen while having the leather case on Athena?
Thanks in advance.
The only way I can see this as being possible is if you use an extremely sharp knife (scalpel blade) to cut out a panel on the case. You would then need to re-stitch the edges (or get a good tailor/tailoress to 'finish' it for you).
It's possible, but I'd try it with a cheap replacement case first (of which I have yet to see any available).
I love the look of the white cases but I find they get discoloured very quickly, I work in a newsagents so I often have newspaper print on my hands and they end up looking like this:

My white Rearth Ringke slim hasn't discolored at all in about a month.

Nillkin White matte slim hard snapon (it'll get dirty) and /or Mercury Pearl White Gel/ tpu (uv protectant coating). Either or both you won't be disappointed.
I got the ringke rearth rev2, didn't like the extended overlap on top left corner. The lip pushes my skinomi wet screen skin up and bubbled.
How's the feel of the frost? Is it identical to the aluminium?
What about scratches? Does the coating flake off and reveal silver color, similar to the graphite?
Also, will the frost's sides bend as easily as the aluminium?
As my graphite is already mysteriously flaking and revealing silver, I'm returning my 32gb graphite today and gonna repurchase a 64gb aluminium or frost..
I just don't wanna have the same problem with frost =/
Anybody care to share their frost experience?
You can see the tiny silver spot that has appeared on the bottom right corner.. This mysteriously happened as I haven't even dropped the phone.. I saw a user on Reddit already have a few of these around the camera bump =/.. I'm returning it while I can and changing colors (and sizes)..
Shame tho because I much prefer the graphite color..

Hello,
As the title says I am wondering how does the silver glossy edge holds up? I am careful with my phones as I just can't stand scratches.
I just got my phone (It's still in the box) and I am in the phase of deciding what case to get for it..
I was going to get black one, as is not glossy on the edges - more mat. But I got a supers sweet deal on the silver one - sealed, so I didn't think twice..
So, now I need to know how does that aluminium edge holds on.. If its fairly durable, I'll keep it, otherwise I'd rather sell it, and buy the black version.
Just so you know what edge do I mean:

Any pics from users who are using the phone for some time, will be really helpful..
Also any thoughts on black vs silver version.
Thanks!
Just an idea. I figure I can make a template using masking tape, trace out shape and camera lenses, then apply to new mesh, cut to size and punch out lens holes with a single hole punch. Worth a shot I suppose.
