Here's one more, and I have another Ringke case on order.

”Luxury” Ultra-Thin…..Hard Back Case

First Impressions: These are available in multiple colors, from multiple sellers on ebay. You can pay as much as $7 or $8 from a US seller, or as little as $3.50 from China. Shipping included. These must cost pennies to make. These are about as close to no case at all as you can get. It’s very thin, hard, and has no cushioning at all. If you drop your phone, all the impact forces are going to be transmitted right through to the glass. It has virtually no lip at the top and bottom to protect the screen if you put your phone face down. It might make more sense to consider this a very thick skin than an actual case.

In use review:. The button action is great, however. You don’t really realize you’re using a case. Minimal protection (and that’s being charitable) from anything but scratches on the back and sides. And it’s a little bit slippery. That said, I find myself strangely attracted to it. It really does look nice, I love the button action, and that it adds no virtually no bulk to the phone. And it’s dirt cheap. If your goal is to protect your phone from scratches, you could do a lot worse than this.

And it’s so cheap you could by 3 or 4 of them. Some have silver tops and bottoms, some gold, but you could mix and match to get, say, a blue case with silver ends, or a silver case with gold ends (perfect for Christmas, eh?).

Ringke "Wave" Case

First Impressions: I really like the Ringke Onyx case I've been using, so I thought I'd take a chance on another of theirs. From the photos on the web site, the "Wave" case looked really interesting. A TPU inner case with a hard polycarbonate surround that also covers part of the back, and an interesting wave pattern molded into both the TPU and PC shell that gives it some visual interest. I got the one they call "Metallic Chrome," but neither the name nor the pictures really tell you what it looks like. The polycarbonate is a shiny, lightly textured metallic gray that is lighter than it appears in the photos. I think it's very nice looking, and breaks up the all black look without being too flashy.

In use review:. The button action is very good, although the volume buttons are not quite as light as the power button, or as the buttons on the Onyx case. But they're fine, not something I would complain about. The TPU is a little firmer than some TPU cases, and the PC shell adds still more stiffness. Your guess is as good as mine as to whether a softer TPU offerz more or less protection than a harder one, and whether the PC shell really adds much, but I'd say this is as protective as any other case that doesn't add a lot of bulk. The PC around the sides is slightly slippery compared to the all TPU Onyx, but I have no problem gripping it or picking it up off a table, and I'm not worried about dropping the phone. This case does have thicker TPU around the edges than the Onyx does. The case is about as wide as the Caseology I reviewed above. That makes it less comfortable for me to hold than the Onyx, but probably more protective. It has significant raised lips at the top and bottom to protect the screen if you set the phone face down.

The wave pattern on the back not only looks nice, it actually helps me hold the phone in certain ways. If I hold the phone in my right hand, with my little finger under the bottom edge, my index finger naturally rests in one of the depressions in the back, providing a nice secure feeling when using the phone one-handed. It's definitely a keeper. I'll probably use the Onyx as my day to day case, because it's more comfortable for me to hold, and this one when I want a little bit more protection, or a little bit more style.

Ringke Fusion Case

First Impressions: I really like the other two Ringke cases I've been using, so when Ringke sent me an email with a discount code that got me this case for $4, I figured I'd take a chance. This is similar to the Spigen Ultra Hybrid, with a TPU surround and a hard, clear polycarbonate back. Unlike the Spigen, this one has raised corners on the back that will keep the rear surface off whatever you set it down on, which should help minimize scratches. It even came with the lanyard included i that $4 price. Hard to beat that deal.

In use review:. I think that if I had a color other than black, this might be my daily driver. It's narrower than the Ringke Wave or Spigen Ultra Hybrid, about the same as the Ringke Onyx. That probably trades off some protection for more comfort, so you pays your money and takes your chances. The button action is excellent, just like on the Onyx. Like the other Ringke cases, it has nice lips top and bottom to protect the screen if you put it face down.
