the Note 10+ Slim Case thread - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Accessories

I thought it useful to create this. I ordered three slim cases and will post them as soon as they arrive. Looking forward to seeing what other people ordered as slim cases...

I will probably get a Pitaka case.
Using one on my iPhone and it’s very slim and grippy.

I'd order anything that is clear case to show off $1100 phone instead of hiding it behind ugly case that hides it beauty.

I ordered two Ringke clear cases.. I received the air seems very slim just minimal.. Post up some pics once I get the phone...

Ringke Fusion. I like the cases with the hard plastic back. They are usually a little more clear than the full TPU case and I really want to show off this Aura Glow color.

I've already ordered the Pitaka case. I love it on my S10+, almost as close to going naked as a skin.

I'm sure there are videos but I am at work, with a case that small and rigid do you really get much fall protection?

Basically none, but I don't want it for that. I just want it so when I set the phone down I'm not worried about the camera getting scratched. The case is just thick enough to make the camera sit flush.
Also the case has built-in metal plates to work with magnetic car mounts and it still allows wireless charging to work.

I have the air and fusion as well. Using the air right now because it's a little slimmer than the fusion and the fit is pretty solid. My blue still shows through nicely but it does makes the color less bold if that makes sense. So far I like the fit and look of it though. Doesn't add much bulk to the device.

Whats D Nexus⁴ Case Ure Using? Plan To Get Nicer Ones :D

Lets discuss on the casings for Nexus⁴ attactive(Cool Design) ones and protective(Flip Cases) ones! Please do provide names or links or pictures for it
Nexus⁴ is indeed a hot device, its worth my waiting like a drug addict everyday bugging my gmail for the shipping notification.
there r few cases about the glass at the back experiencing minor cracks,
so i think its better to protect it even though it looks gorgeous without casing and so hard to get a new one
i already had this Nillkin Flip Case at Tmall on standby, bought it from china's "amazon", tmall.com, their original factory's online store
Then i saw Cruzerlite's Androidified A2 TPU Case For Nexus⁴(Teal) attracted by its Android design,
while scrolling around i saw another nice oneXdadevelopers's CASE for Nexus⁴, also by Cruzerlite.
Both are looking cool, but before i buy them i wanna know if there are other casings with Cool Designs out there? Since i chose Cruzerlite because of its designs. I want my phone to look nice even with cases on.
I also need Flip Cases (Book Style)(prefer leather ones, because Nillkin's surface didnt convice me and it gets dirty easily those who had Nillkin flip case will know about this) and as what you all know, Flip Cases for Nexus 4 is extremely hard to find
what i want is 1 Cool Looking, and 1 Flip Case(Book Style) , both are hard to find,
other casings like diztronics' simple design or other cases that i found in this forum board even though they may give protection to device but their design didnt appeal to me(not to insult)
thats why i wanna find out if there are better ones, those who knows of Cool Looking, and Flip Case please do tell me about it, simple user review if possible :highfive:
I too have the xda case on order even though I have a set up I am currently satisfied with. I have now, the Diztronic Ultra hard thin that doesn't cover the top or bottom of the phone like the Diztronic TPU does. It works for me because I can now use the Seidio Surface spring holster made for the GNEX without much of an issue. The thiness of the shell works for me but not for all, so you'll need to decide what you are comfortable with.
According to your list, you are looking at tpu all the way. For the choices listed, which I have most of them except for the Cruzerlite models, I would go for the Diztronic tpu. It's pretty darn thin and the only negative is that the logo on the tpu is a bit glossy for my taste, but you get used to it . Happy shopping!

urm not necessarily tpu, im looking towards more good appearance cases thats what cruzerlite design attracted me
my plan is to use 1 nice looking flipcase for full protection, and another nice looking which only covers back :laugh: as long as its looking good even when not naked :highfive:
I love my poetic bumper, I had an sline tpu case and it was ok but the power button became increasingly difficult to press.

I got the Poetic case when it was for under $4 and I absolutely love it! I am wallet-free as of now, since all I carry is the phone and the case which holds 3 cards and cash. It takes time for the leather to stretch and accomodate 3 cards, but now its the best thing I bought, well, after my N4 lol
The only downer is its a pain to use this case by just one hand, and taking a picture without the aid of the other hand is next to impossible.
So I've ordered the amCase(TM) Slim fit case for Google Nexus 4 -Matte Black for under $3 including shipping. Should be here tomorrow/Tuesday, so will update my post.

Thin case that only "grabs" top and bottom?

Right now Im running a bumper (well, the girlfriend, who is a phonebreaker, is running it because she is waiting for her substantial case to arrive) but I was wondering if there were other options.
Most times Im running naked and only using the bumper in situations when I thought there was real risk. The main reason is because i love the cascading touch screen, it feels much better working on the phone without my thumb crashing into the lip of a bezel or case when swiping/typing.
So my question is, has anyeone seen a case that clips onto the phone holding only onto the top/bottom (and corners) but maybe only going up half or less of the sides, as to not interfere with the drop off effect of the screen?
I think if I had something like that I would be more willing to run the case more often. I know it couldn't be a bumper, it would need a back to support the sides and I am prepared to live with not seeing the blingy back.
I've been looking for this too! Haven't found a case like that yet...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I asked exactly this same question, and the answer is that no one has made such a case yet. However, I did buy the rearth ringke slim case, which grips the sides, but very shallow, and it is pretty good. You don't bump the sides until you are about three fourths of the way down the bevel.

I use this case only in my car or in my pocket. When i get home it takes me 3" to remove it or put it back on. And i don't like screen or back protectors.

Thin hard case with decent grip?

I have the diztronic tpu, but it just seems to add too much bulk for my taste, and it's slippy as hell. I have better grip without a case.
I have searched a lot here and Google, but no one really seems to talk about any of the hard cases having decent texture that helps with grip.
Are there any options that I have missed?

Oh the diztronic is a great don't get me wrong, and I only use tpu cases (diztronic, s-line, cruzerlite) on my other phones. I just find that unlike my last phone (one x) the nexus 4 is a little too bulky with a tpu case on it. Plus the finish on is just soooo slippery.
I have never used a hard case before since they seem to add very little protection compared to tpu, but I want to keep the nexus as thin and light as possible. While still giving decent protection to the screen.
Unlike a lot of people I don't care if my phone itself gets a scratch or ding in the casing of the phone. Only thing I really care about is keeping the screen as perfect as possible.

Feel is great, and it will prevent the back and sides from getting scratched, but offers little protection from drops (especially if it lands on the bottom or top as there is not much of those areas that are covered). No real shock absorption either.
Has anyone seen a review or tried one of these cases?

Its a two piece hard case but it does offer protection of all the sides.

Well, that doesn't seem all that surprising with so many reports from folks who have problems with the phone sticking to the orb. Mine sticks great to a slick surface. Not so much to a porous one.
Another vote for the Meifeng. I gave my original to a friend because I was on the whole bumper bandwagon. I missed it so much I ordered a new one. Great feeling in the hand. Not so great with the top/bottom protection but it's grippy so hopefully you won't drop it.

recommend a case that does not compromise N4's good looks

Just bought a nexus 4 after google's price cut, can someone recommend me a case that offer a good protection without compromising the N4's looks?
Currently I am considering the ringke fusion.
Any other recommendations?

I got the case you are considering but it has yet to arrive in the post which is annoying as i won't take my N4 outside without some sort of case.
Will let you know once i get it which should hopefully be later today or tomorrow.
There is no case that won't compromise its looks, simple as that. Even with the Ringke Fusion.. sure, you can see the back, but through plastic. And the rest is still TPU.. and in reality it doesn't look as flawless and nice as in the renders. There's always a compromise.
You could go for more minimalistic cases such as the quicksand ones. I'm currently using one of them and I really like its look and feel because it doesn't change it as much (I also have a diztronic tpu case which I'll only be using for when I expect rougher conditions, e.g. travel, hiking or whatever). But it comes at the cost of less protection for the device.
It's a matter of what you prioritize and what risks you're willing to take for better look and feel.

that is one ugly cheap case...
It's certainly cheap, but I much prefer it to my diztronic tpu case (http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=46_76&products_id=303). The material feels very nice and not plastic-y (a bit like jeans, I'd say) and it hardly adds any bulk, which tpu cases do. I also really dislike the shiny border around the edge most tpu cases have, cause that does look pretty cheap.
I personally ordered it cause I was looking for a different case and this one seemed like a very low-risk option, and I ended up liking it a lot. Your mileage may vary, obviously.

I had a similar type case on my nexus for a few months and it was great. Had a really great feel to it and it actually looks pretty darn sharp when it's on the phone. Doesn't look cheap at all. :good:
thanks, but I think I'll stick with the Ringke Fusion case. I like the clear back.
U can't go wrong with the oem bumper. It offers protection on all edges and prevents both front and back from laying directly on surfaces. I've had it on my white N4 since purchase and i don't have a scratch. Not to mention I am constantly subject to compliments and questions peeked by its sexy appearance.

I personally would go with bumper case and maybe add a screen protector on both sides (something like Ghost Armor or Zagg or dBrand skin if you want to go a bit more expensive, OR just get something like XtremeGuard for the back for a cheap alternative - XtremeGuard costs me about $2 for front and back :laugh: )

Ditto. Unless you're extraordinarily clumsy, the OEM bumper should provide plenty of protection. I've had my Nexus 4 with bumper since December of last year and it has survived many drops. It's even survived a drop onto concrete, complete with a few bounces, with no scratch. The crack that my Nexus 4 has came from when I took the case off momentarily and then it dropped about a foot and a half onto the soft part of an open binder. >_<
OEM bumper + front and back clear skins. Everything else is hideous.
Currently using the Incipio Feather, but I have to admit that the N4 pretty much only looks good caseless.
Tried the official bumper, but it just didn't stick either.

Exactly. Coming from a person who has never liked or had cases on their devices - I just got the OEM bumper in the mail yesterday, and I'm stunned at how good it looks. It actually makes the phone look nicer with the aluminium accents, and protects it rather well.
What do you suggest?
Alright so I'm a little late to the Nexus 4 party, but after much delay, I finally decided to upgrade from my archaic Vibrant and order a shiny new N4. Although it hasn't come in just yet, I was interested to know what cases you guys might suggest. You see here's my dilemma... I know for a fact that the Ringke Slim and other like cases are a major no-no for me. They offer too little protection and from what I've heard, leave the very top and bottom of the device exposed. I would get the OEM bumper as it's very attractive, but I've read many, many, many reviews that note its fragility--specifically around the USB port, which apparently is prone to cracking. I'm also considering the Ringke Fusion as it seems to be a popular choice, or the possibility of going with a wallet style case, as I won't need a screen protector then.
However I'm very torn, as there are so many options and so many drawbacks...
What do you guys think? Is the OEM bumper really all that fragile? Does it break as a result of removing the phone from it or does it crack completely on its own? Should I not even consider the OEM bumper case and go with something much more durable (i.e. the Ringke Fusion, wallet case)? Should I just go naked!?!? (referring to the phone of course )
Thanks in advance! Looking forward to hearing some feedback!

Which clear cases are y'all using? Any affordable durable ones?

Was bummed that my go to spigen liquid crystal is pretty awful for this phone (the sides are mad flimsy). Trying to find some that are crystal clear on the back yet offer decent drop protection all around. Seems like reviews are saying the otterbox one is the best... but man $50 ain't nothing. I'd still pick it up if I can't find any others that are comparable for cheaper.
I do like the supcase one for previous phones, but I just wish the sides weren't black.
I bought this one. It looks much nicer on my phone than I was expecting. Its back is very clear / transparent.

I like the Tech21 - Evo Check Case for Samsung Galaxy Note10+ and Note10+ 5G - Smoky Black
I got it from best buy for 40 bucks but have 15 bucks in certificates so that helped. They have a clear version as well.

Tozo case looks great and offers decent protection.
Only cost me $A13 from Amazon prime

Using this case right now and love it.

I use the Rigke Fusion clear case.
More protection than a wrap, but it is very minimal.

Works great for me. I have the aura back so I can show it off.

Pretty much his same setup and rationale. A good value. An extra, it's also mil-spec rated.
Otterbox Symmetry Clear is my first choice, but not cheap at $49. Ringke Fusion is my second choice and very affordable at $9.99. Both cases have a crystal clear back so the true nature of the Aura Glow will show. Otterbox is slightly thicker and firmer all the way around.Great bumper protection.
Ringke is slimmer and more flexible. Good bumper protection.
case on left is Otterbox

case to the right is Ringke

Added bonus is with "[emoji363] Flashlight" on, it creates a Halo effect with some of these clear cases. As seen with the Ringke

Although I do not like soft clear cases, the one that comes included is really good, no water mark effect, not flimsy a the sides, beeing from samsung, fits exactly, I am using it in the mean time until I receive the UAG plasma case in ice color

I Love UAG cases... But, this case will not work with the wireless powershare features. I also wanted to retain the Aura Glow feature and it's completely blocked with this case. So for me, it's a no go. But if those things I mentioned aren't a deal break for you, then you'll have a very solid case. This case is not flexible and it feels nice and sturdy. Great case overall except for the 2 reasons that personally don't work for me.

About the OtterBox defender. But had trouble getting an in and out of my pocket easily. Now I'm using this
SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Pro Series... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TR4N14N?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
A lot less than the $60 price tag at Best buy also.
Edit: sorry. Got in a hurry and saw the original post was looking for "clear". However, the clear Insignia case from Best buy is good also. Very similar to speck and very grippy
Tech 21 Pure clear....great case, not bulky, great drop protection. Only gripe is that it has that slight frost look and not 100% clear. This case never yellowed on my note 9, no rainbow or water spot effects. My experience with the otterbox symmetry clear case wasnt quite as good. Overall fitment was good, back was nice and clear but it scratches rather easily and did get yellow on me after a few m ok months(happened with my s8 edge, note 8 and note 9. I skipped it this year but have read it still scratches easy.

Thanks for the photo, I do not plan to use the reverse charging, but the loss of glow due to the frosted hex back of the case, that is somewhat disapointing, I have used these cases since my silver titanium note7, which looked gorgeous, but, as I said, I do not like totally clear cases, so, I will.go for the UAG plasma ice, thanks again for the advice?
