And cover up that beautiful screen???

I got the ArmorSuit screen protector with my Diztronic case. And let me just save everyone time and money who's thinking of getting a screen protector with this case.
While the ArmorSuit was nice and clear it covers from edge to edge with no gaps. I've tried as carefully as I can to put the phone in the case but every time the corners of the screen protector will lift up and peel away. I just got frustrated after a while and ripped the whole thing off. I recommend getting a screen protector with at least 2mm or more of a gap around the edges so the lip of the Diztronic case won't interfere with it. Lesson learned.

going bare screen for now until I find something suitable.

Have high hope for this one, I think I will like the texture on the case just hope it doesn't feel like cheap plastic.

This looks interesting thanks. I have the Diztronic and it's amazing for the money but I was looking for something a bit thinner. Unfortunately, I think most of these cases are not contoured to be thin at the edges the way the phone it. It's amazing how much bigger and bulkier the phone feels with the case on.

I also just received a s-line case that I bought on ebay. Its very nice, slim, and has a textured grip along the sides. Its alot slimmer then the diztronic case. The diztronic case is a little better made, but its to bulky for me. I feel that im going to use this one more. It was like 5.99 shipped.

Good point, and I've honestly felt that way about all my phones. I'll carry them on a wallet-style case, wrapped in a protector-style case.....but leave my screen alone. My eyes have been getting bad for years, don't go and add any blur! ;-)

This is why I need to stay off these boards!

Haven't even received my Diztronic case yet, and your post egged me into purchasing an S-Line case!

Hey, I paid a whopping $2.99! Can't really complain...

Thanks for the heads up! Both cases are inexpensive enough that if I still decide to get a Seidio, I won't stress too much over it!

I also got the white/frosted S-Line, so perhaps the back LED will be visible.

I bought this one last week, fantastic thin case which only issue is not having a hole for the notification light in the back, but that is fixable.

100% recommended, quality is absolutely top notch

Edit: I actually read the following after posting.

This case is really thin, barely noticeable, I would compare it with a Barely There one, and it is really light as well.

I am selling mine on EBay. Check it out. It is quite slick...but I don't own DNA anymore...

Some pictures to save your time. =)

Didn't think of that, good point. It should probably show through.

Still waiting for mine, can you share some pictures?

Sure!

No case:

With the case, I hope these can give you a good picture on how thin the case is and how nice the back texture feels:

Just ordered this Ballistic DNA Smooth case, from eBay.

It's currently available for about $19, over $10 less then the price on Ballistic's site. Looks like it should keep the phone narrow. I just don't want to put an Otterbox, or other three layer case over this phone and give up it's slim size.

If anyone's interested, I'm happy to provide a quick review when it arrives.

Comes with four different colored rubber corners.... only currently available in gray or pink.

I was looking at that case...I would like to see pics and hear your thoughts once you received it if you don't mind.

I LOVE the look of that case and I will probably buy one. However, it doesn't look like it will really provide all that much protection. Not all the sides are covered which would lead me to believe the case would have a tendency of popping off if dropped. Think this is a possibility or am i being paranoid? haha

**VVoltz** · 12-10-2012, 09:38 PM

It covers the corners which is 99% of what gets hit by a drop, it also has the screen edges elevated so you can lay the phone on a table and not worring on scratching the screen.Having the top and bottom fully accesible helps keep the phone at its original size and certainly helps when using headphones, I also bought a gel case from Verizon when I got the phone but I couldn't connect my Audio Technica monitor cans, that case also added a lot of bulk to the device. In short, for me this case has the exact balance of style and protection.

I felt exactly the same way. Love how it looks, though overall protection seems minimal. I ordered one anyway, so I'll check it out.

Good to know. Its only ten bucks, so I'm probably going to pick one up. See how I like It

Anybody try one of the Androidified cases for the DNA?

**Pierpoint** · 12-11-2012, 01:37 AM

Here's some quick pics of the Body Glove case and the Diztronic. Excuse the graininess, these were taken on a GSIII

lol

How's the body glove feel in the hand?

I like my body glove case. It feels pretty good in the hand. It takes about a day to get used to because of the ridges. You gotta find the groove that works best for your hand. Its still an extremely slim case too. The main thing is that I feel like the phone is really well protected because of those reinforced ridges. I know the phone won't slide out of my hand with this case and it makes the volume and power buttons much easier to operate. Plus I think it looks cool

Sorry for crappy pics, I wanted to take these before I went to work. My girlfriend bought the white version of the nilikin case and it does look real nice. I do think its a bit too smooth on the back, but it might get grippy after it gets dirty.
