Cases for the Icon

[oldpueblo]

It looks like button cutouts are going to be a requirement for me since my CR-200 will otherwise push the camera button. The case is what holds the clamps at bay. This is my temporary until I find a fully surrounding clear TPU case.



I think I'll get this in the meantime, I hate hard shell cases but it'll do for now.

Man, took my phone out today and a corner on the replacement (which I got in December!) was broken off.

Fished around in my pockets, and there were the little bits! Unreal

For now I just ordered one of the cheapo Amzer cases off Amazon.

I had the same problems with mine, one of the corners actually just broke off after about 3-4 months of use

I got a replacement and it was fine for awhile till I noticed cracks developing again on the corners after a month or so, in my case it seems when I take the phone out of my front pocket the corners seem to catch sometimes and that is what may be leading the corners cracking/breaking

It's too bad because I really liked the feather case but I had to move on after the problems and now use a soft TPU case, I may pick up one of these because I prefer hard shell cases that don't add a lot of bulk to the phone and the price seems right

@OldPueblo, here is the Anoke/Kuppo case in clear frost with ArmorShield screen protector!

Thank you for this. I ordered this simply because I have a white Icon and I don't like how slippery it is. Can you tell me if it will still work with the wireless chargers of which I have two? One at work and one at home.

It'll work fine with your qi charger. Almost all cases do. Especially if you have the Nokia standard qi charger.

Cool. Thanks for the heads up.

Here's a plug for the Incipio Feather Case. I dropped my phone this morning from about 4 or 5 feet on to asphalt. It landed hard enough on the upper left corner that the SIM popped out. I popped the SIM back in, restarted the phone and all is well. Yes there is a ding on the case but no cracking or breakage on the case or the phone.

So weird. Like I mentioned above, my Trophy and 928 both have Feather cases. Great cases and far sturdier than expected. And then both of the Icon Feather's I tried immediately started cracking at the corners. And looking both here and Amazon reviews, it seems to crop up quite a bit with the Icon version. Wonder what the deal is? Different factories? Different plastic batches?

I have no clue brother. It could be something as simple as air temperature. Cold makes things brittle.

I myself would go with the Otterbox Defender Series of cases for whatever phone I would get. I have one on my Lumia ICON right now and has saved me countless times because I've dropped the phone. I've also had this case on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and my IPhone 5 and my IPhone 4 when I had those. This case has no issues working with Qi Wireless chargers. Most of my family has IPhones and have the Defender cases on their IPhones as well. The only phone that I didn't have an Otterbox on is my Lumia 928 and the only reason is that they didn't make one for it. I'm an Otterbox ****** hands down.

I second the Otter box, adds a little size but seems pretty durable. Go to the verizon accessories page, since they don't like Icon anymore what little stuff they have is pretty cheap. Free shipping too I believe.

I love my clear plastic with rubberized surround and goes 1\16" above the glass.

So far I have the tire tread kickstand case and a fosmon tpu and both are working well but I'm looking for something more rugged with a belt clip. It appears that otter box may be the only option but there are complaints about the screen protector so I was looking at trident but no belt clip. Does anybody know if there is a belt clip that works with the trident cyclops case?

 

[Reynaldo Navedo]

Have any of you tried the Amzer? WC has it and it works fine for me.

My Icon is working well in my 12-year-old Nutshell belt-clip holster that I originally bought for a Treo 600 (cool at the time). This is the 4th phone I've used in this holster, which has turned out to be surprisingly versatile. With my Lumia 822, the holster was a little too wide, so I had to be careful about the phone slipping out if the holster didn't stay vertical, but it still worked well enough. With the Icon, the holster is short, but the phone fits snugly.

Nutshell is a small firm in New Zealand that makes very durable, custom leather cases -- not cheap, but may be worth checking out: tuff-as-nuts.com.

Here you go!

Amazon: Nokia Lumia Icon Anoke/Koppu Cases

Amazon: Nokia Lumia Icon Phonenatic Cases

Amazon: Nokia Lumia Icon Nilkin Cases

Amazon: Nokia Lumia Icon Fosman Cases

Some 930 cases. Not 100% sure the Icon and 930 have the exact same build, but I'm 99% sure they are.

Amazon: Lumia 930 Sojitek BPA Free Transparent Silicone Case

Amazon: Lumia 930 Yousave Case

Amazon: Cbus Wireless Matte Finish TPU Flex-Gel Rubber Silicone Case / Skin / Cover for Nokia Lumia 930

none of these are true bumpers. they all have a back piece. i'm looking for strictly a bumper that goes around the outside edge similar to the old iPhone bumpers.

I ended up getting the Otterbox defender and I must say that I like it. It's not as bulky as their old cases and should do a nice job protecting phone for warm weather outdoor activities.

I'm using the basic case (high gloss silicone) in black that you can buy on the Verizon website:

High Gloss Silicone Cover for Nokia Lumia Icon | Verizon Wireless

I like it- seems to do a nice job protecting the phone, and is a very tight fit. It's no Otterbox, but I especially like the price - $1.99 plus free shipping.
