I agree, as most of the phones within a particular segment use similar materials and form factor - they all 'appear' the same. The case cover definitely adds some certain character and gives a unique identity to the phone.

You can check out, something like this - and design something like ( not sure if they ship directly to India though) -

Any leads? Thank you .

Samsung S9 ? Can't suggest anything better than what the company themselves makes, if 'look and feel' is a key selection criteria. I absolutely love those Alcantara and Hyperknit type covers. Being an old model I doubt if they would still available for sale in the Samsung shop. My wife uses 3 of them on her s9 plus; little expensive but they all are classy and stylish. The fit and finish, tactile feel of buttons are simply OEM grade , which the aftermarket players can't match up.

If you like leather there is nothing like Nomad cases. I have it on my iPhone, iPad and AirPods. The best thing is they age with time just like natural leather.

Here is a link

On the Android side I have been toying with the idea of sticking leather to an ultra-thin case. Will post on the final result.

I know exactly what you are talking about GTO
Checkout https://www.simplycarbonfiber.com/
They have phone cases of real carbon fibre, alcantara or forged carbon fibre.
They have good looking watches as well

Expensive but best. None other comes close in terms of protection. Defender series is incredible.

Do they ship to India or have a distributor in India? Have been using the Defender case for my 7 plus since day1 which I bought from the US and extremely satisfied.

No. I don't think so.

My favorite cases are Nomad (https://nomadgoods.com) for their leather cases, and Mous (https://www.mous.co) for their wood / clear case. I have used both and find them super sturdy and sleek as well.

The leather cases are my personal choice since they age extremely well.

Both ship to India.

I'm sorry if this post does not help, but from my perspective, the most premium a fairly high end phone can look is when the phone is without a case. I know this means forgoing protection against damage and dirt, but that is part of the allure I guess!?

This is the one I currently use, but was looking for something more high-end & stylish.

I have been using the best smartphone cases since I have had my iPhone 4. The first name I highly recommend is Otterbox. These guys take abuse like no tomorrow. Then came along Urban Armour and the incredible Rhinoshield people. Top class stuff. I even had the privilege of crowdfunding the erstwhile co Lunatiks premium iPhone offerings. Sadly they never made it. Also worthwhile mentions to Kapaver and Ringke. Always choose function above fashion.

Pro tip: Buy cases from folks who have pioneered the field. And how.

For those of you who are fans of Peak Design, the company has just launched a whole line of mobile covers and attachments. The project is currently in Kickstarter. The company has a good track record of innovation and their stuff is usually premium and good. At this time, they seem to be iPhone centric though.

The Spigen Inc. and sister brands are my GO TO every time I need a case.
Nothing beats them in quality and design(obviously subjective to taste).





Spigen is well known for making the rugged armour case popular and many clones have been manufactured subsequently. They're really good. Caseology has a more funky design theme that's hugely appealing to the younger crowd.

Spigen and spigen's sister companies manufacture many useful and functional products like Bike mounts and Car mounts. IMMENSELY USEFUL

They have their own brands of chargers and accessories too.
Just open the main website and explore the drop down menus.

Oh and They have Clear cases that don't yellow over time!! Finally show off that sexy new colour of that iPhone you bought without your heart in your mouth every second.

Spigen also manufactures customisable rings that stick onto your phone and can also be used as car mounts with certain attachments.

Maybe we can all have teamBHP branded rings on our smartphones. Let's face it. TeamBHP always has a tab or two open always on our smartphones

My friend works in Switzerland and he was checking with me if I need this case (Something like this) for my iPhone12. Needless to say, I was blown - but declined considering the bulk

Guys,
Is there an option/source to get waterproof cases for top end phones? Any brand (and/or marketplace) that offers this in India?

I'm looking at options like this

Having lost two phones (one that was IP67 and unfortunately not in warranty) to water damage and having hobbies that still make me go in that direction, I'm trying to source a case that helps me in that aspect.

Phone: Samsung S20 FE

I only trust Spigen. Definitely one of the best ones around. May not be shiny and pretty, but are durable and sophisticated.

I dont use cases, but in my instagram feed keeps appearing an ad for them.

The page is https://www.instagram.com/moviefonts/

Apparently, you send them an image, and your phone model, and they make a case for you.
