The Samsung Galaxy S III (S3) is both a beautiful phone and a phone that feels a bit vulnerable to damage if dropped.

TPU – thermoplastic polyurethane – might just be the most durable material for a phone case.

If you love the feel of the Samsung Galaxy S III (S3) in your hand and are really only worried about the screen, Samsung’s Flip case might be perfect for you. Most of the cases we see are designed to protect the back and sides of the Galaxy S3 in plastic, TPU, rubber or some material that cushions against impact. Samsung has taken a very unique position here by designing a case...
The Samsung Galaxy SIII (S3) is a beautiful phone. While it feels “sturdy” it still makes me nervous to just put it in my pocket. Phones scratch, they get dinged and they can break. Having experienced the sticker shock of a new – full price – Galaxy S3, I would like to protect this phone when possible. That being said, I like the feel of the phone in my hand sans case. Fortunately...
The HTC One X is one phone that I hate to put in a case because I love the look and feel. But that's exactly why it needs to be protected. HTC did an amazing job with the polycarbonate body on the HTC One X. It has a very Nokia Lumia-like texture to it ,and it looks and feels great. However, I need to also remember that this phone stores my life; it has all my contacts, calendar...
The HTC ONE X is a beautifully designed phone. The polycarbonate body feels like it is tough – but I do worry about scratches and how it would weather a drop. While it certainly seems well built and sturdy, I would not be very happy if I dropped the HTC ONE X– either on the face of the device or on the back with the protruding camera. A good case makes me feel better about the...
I do love the feel of the thin HTC One X in the hand. I also worry about how it would weather an unforeseen drop. Putting a case on your HTC One X is probably a worthwhile thing to do. A decent case costs way less than “insurance” on your new device and it can also make your phone stand out a bit from the crowd. Sedio Surface case Design The Sedio Surface case is a two-...
I have a real problem when it comes to buying cases for my Samsung Galaxy Note. I know I'm not the only one but I have a bad habit of putting on cases then taking them off a week or so later. Then, I'll buy another and repeat the whole process over again. Sadly though, naked devices have no protection against the accidental bumps, drops, scratches, dings and whatever else you can...
The HTC EVO 4G LTE just set you back anywhere from $199 to $549; spending a small portion of that to protect it makes lots of “sense.” The HTC EVO 4G LTE feels great in the hand. While it certainly seems well built and sturdy, I would not be very happy if I dropped this – either on the face of the device or on the back with the protruding camera lens. A good case makes me feel better...
The HTC EVO 4G LTE just set you back anywhere from $199 to $549; spending a fraction of that to protect it is a must. The HTC EVO 4G LTE is a beautiful device to hold in your hand. While it certainly seems sturdier than say that “other” device from Cupertino, I would not be very happy if I dropped this – either on the face of the device or on the back with the protruding camera lens. A...
Having seen the video of the HTC One X drop test, regardless of how well it stood up I decided it was time for a case. I'm not usually one for phone cases, but having dropped a cool £450 on this phone, I'm a little more protective of it. So what did I settle on? An official HTC case for one, but this one combines screen protection, a hard shell, and a kick stand all into one. The HTC...
Looking for the right case for your Android smartphone is not always as easy as it should be, especially when shopping online. Getting to feel a case and seeing how it fits on your device is always an advantage when buying cases at a local store, so we'll be taking an in-depth look at the Seidio ACTIVE case for the Motorola Atrix 4G and how it holds up in terms of protection,...
When you think of the Casio GzOne Commando you most likely think of a rather rugged phone that could withstand just about any type of punishment you can put it through, and while yes that is pretty accurate that doesn't mean it couldn't use some added protection. For me, having a scratch on the device, or seeing the paint chipping is something that bothers me big time, so I tend to...

It offers protection from scratches, dings, and other miscellaneous boo-boos in a slim, stylish form factor. The Barely There case lives up to its name-- covering only the back and corners of the Thunderbolt, the case is noticeably...
I hate making decisions. I'm one of those people that when given the choice between hard ice cream and soft-serve, I have a panic attack. I love all ice cream! How is someone supposed to make that choice? So whenever there's an opportunity for me to choose “both” instead of one or the other, I jump on it. No, this isn't an advertisement for Dairy Queen. This is a review of the Seidio...

Want a hard case but want to still show off your phone? The Mobi Products Crystal Case for the HTC ThunderBolt does just that. It's your standard hard-shell case, same as we've reviewed previously. But the big difference this time is that you can see through it -- making sure your ThunderBolt can see and be seen. It's the same plastic two-piece construction we're used to. And save for a...
So you want a case that's sturdy, but doesn't feel like a hard case? The Case-Mate POP! for the HTC ThunderBolt is a good middle ground. It's molded out of a hard plastic for strength and rigidity, plus a soft rubber for a more friendly touch. The bulk of the case -- which comes in black, pink or white -- is made of a glassy plastic, with the Case-Mate logo plenty visible. But on the...
I use my phone for everything so I made the choice early on to spring for the extended battery. The additional hours it’s given me are well worth the few ounces it adds to my Incredible. Unfortunately, this limits what cases I can use. I’m not much of a case guy. I don’t want a plastic cover to show off my favorite team, and I don’t have some overwhelming desire to have a blue,...
