Video Review: Generic TPU S-Case for Nexus 4

The Nexus 4 is here! I felt so much joy holding the device in my hands after having to jump several hurdles for the initial purchase. As most of you know, the Play Store sold out within minutes and I resorted to buying it from my carrier. The first thing you'll notice is how fragile the phone feels, mainly due to the front and back glass construction.

Normally, I am patient and can wait until manufacturers start sending out their first batches of cases, but with the Nexus 4 it was a completely different story. I don't usually buy generic eBay cases, but I needed something to protect my investment, as least for the time being. That said, I ended up purchasing the TPU S-Case for a mere 5$ (free shipping too!). 

The case impressed me upon first glance. It was well made, had all port cutouts and button coverings in the right place and most importantly, featured a moderate amount of drop/scratch protection. You can tell some attention to detail was taken into account, as the edges have a textured pattern to improve grip. Simply put, this case is a steal! Not only does it serve as a great temporary case, but I can see people using it as their main case.

Video Review: Rearth Ringke Slim Lite for Samsung Galaxy Note 2

As my Galaxy S3 case coverage comes to an end, due to the impending release of the Nexus 4 - I was offered the chance to use a Galaxy Note 2 for a few days. In that time, I received a few requests for case overviews, so I got my hands on the Rearth Ringke Slim Lite for starters!

This is a thin, polycarbonate case coated in a matte finish - not only does it feel great in the hand, but it adds virtually no bulk to an already large device. Due to its thin form factor, this case won't provide much drop protection, but the back and sides are well covered against scratches.

The ports and cutouts line up nearly perfect, which is expected from Rearth. They always do a great job of producing high-quality cases at an affordable price. The Slim Lite for the Galaxy Note 2 is no exception, coming in at just above 11$ (with free shipping within the USA!). For that price, there's no way you can go wrong with it.
