Yesterday I did a big search based on all the links available in this thread (for F5 cases), and I also went through all Amazon results on its COM, UK, FR, DE, and ES domains, and I’d like to summarize it. I was interested in silicon and TPU sturdier cases, and I also like those with selfie rings (stand) because I very often try to lean the phone against something while listening to podcasts, watching videos, etc.
(Sorry for not including ALL the links as I am a new user, so I can’t.)
I personally would appreciate something sturdy like the ‘rugged case on Printables’. However, I tried to research how to get it made, but the options are limited where I live and I was unsure about the result etc…
I ended up ordering what seems to be the closest alternative from Amazon DE.
It’s quite affordable and there are multiple colors available.
I saw a lot of silicon, translucent cases on Amazon and Bol(dot)com, but I ultimately decided not to get one because of comments about the cases turning yellow too soon, etc, which I’d be too conscious about.
There are some seemingly nice non-translucent (black) cases on casesonline(dot)com (with/without a selfie ring and with/without a pouch for a credit card). But they don’t deliver to the Czech Republic where I live.
Lastly, I initially ordered this case from Amazon COM , but I ended up canceling the order because I wasn’t sure about the card compartment and how the ring is attached to it.
I considered waiting for some other options like Indimise, Biowaves, and Bark. However, Indidmise current designs for other phones seem to leave the phone too vulnerable (exposing edges). Biowaves might be worth it, but I personally don’t like the look. And the Bark wooden cases don’t seem like a permanent enough solution to invest so much money in it + they also leave some edge exposed. (+I find it very strange that there are barely any frontal photos of any phone inside the case available.) There are of course some other cases and tons of flip cases that I have no experience with that I didn’t go through…
I’ll make an update when I see the case I actually ordered…
