T Mobile Case - new function

Okay, sounds dumb, I hate carrying a wallet. Discovered that I can very easily put my debit card behind the back cover of the phone and the case.
Yeah... Basic I know, but perhaps others haven't thought of it.

Very good idea actually.. Are you talking about the gel case?

Have you seen the cases designed for this as well, i saw a few on Ebay that had the debit card slot but they were leather. Pretty cool!

^^ yeah, the black one that was the only option at release.
^ got a link, that sounds pretty awesome!

Good call, I tuck one of those lint free cloths behind mine for the occasional screen cleaning

Unfortunately, there are none like it for the Vibrant as far as from what I can tell by searching.

Awesome idea. Now when I palm your phone at the bar, I can get your card too. lol

I liked to see someone take my phone... they would be better off punching my mom in the face.

losing your phone would be exponentially gayer though

Just got mine, I just bought the samsung dock, so probably will go caseless, so figured this would come in handy. Ill let you all know after I get it.

TPU-Cases.com has a few

TPU-Cases.com has a limited selection available already. My last two phones have been lovingly wrapped in these. Excellent customer service, great price/quality value.

The pics on the two black ones look right. It's probably Photoshopped but given my order history and communications with them I do trust these guys to actually send the right product.

i have one of these coming to me, already shipped. Luckily I got it for free to review, and i will post up pics and reviews once i get my epic on friday evening.

I got mine yesterday. It's the right one even if the pic is wrong. I got the blue glitterflex.

This place seems to have a variety of cases in stock for the Epic 4G Touch. I've never ordered anything from them.
wwwDOTaccessorygeeksDOTcom/samsung-epic-4g-touch-rubberized-hard-case-blue.html

Got my review case from TPU, matte back black. Will post a review come Friday [:

I've already received mine without a phone to put it in
Order from this place, the guy is great, a great supporter of xda and the prices are even better.

I also have a case from TPU, and my 1st impression on it is very good. Nicely made, looks good, and doesn't look like it will add much thickness to the phone at all (thin is one of my main desires from a phone + case combo). I'm most likely gonna buy a couple other cases from them, just to get some different colors and such

Ordered Tuesday night and got my smoke grey tpu case today. Going to take it to the sprint store tomorrow and slap it in on as soon as its activated.

I picked up my Epic 4G Touch this morning so I'll get better pictures posted to our website and Amazon shortly.
The cases fit the phone great and look even better. However the free screen protectors we included are a failure. We kept the price the same on our cases so really they were just freebies anyways but I'm sure some of you will still be a bit disappointed. They are cut to be the EXACT size of the screen which makes it almost impossible (I tried 5 times and couldn't do it) to get them on without the sides bubbling. Not sure what we will do about this yet. For the time being I'm going to stop advertising them as coming with a free screen protector (they still will though) so people aren't counting on them. I'll let you guys know when I have a solution to the screen protector issue.

The case fits great, but man is the matte finish make for a slippery surface!
Any chance you will consider making a cut out for the volume keys, kind of hard to push.
Great product, as always

As always any feedback is more than welcome

Good point someone just made, you can't see the LED for notifications.
Not a major thing for me but it maybe for some people.

It also makes using the camera a bit of a pain. Useful for proping up the phone though.

Hello everyone,
I'm using the flip cover on my S3 and is exactly what i wanted. The only problem is the led being covered, so, i used a tool that i have to make holes on belts to make one on the cover and now is perfect for me.
See the pic below. The cover is very hard, i had to make a lot of "force" to make the hole.

I doubt they will but I think it would increase sales as a lot of people have pointed out the issue. I can't see how they can solve the issue of using the camera though.

Can someone that owns this case answer me this;
Is this cover protective for the screen in a case of a fall? I mean does it "lock" in place over the screen? If you turn it upside down for example, the flip opens?
I believe its the most basic thing that should be answered (if it does not protect the screen its useless) and no one in any review does this simple test.

Sorry I thought it was clear, no it doesn't lock to the screen so it dropped it could easily flap open.

I got one of these a couple of weeks back for my device. I found it was rather annoying having to hold it at an awkward angle when on the phone. I wish they'd made it flip up or down instead of to the side. It also means you can't hold it very well with your left hand either, as it adds even more width on to the device!
I've switched to a skin thingy now instead, even though it leaves the screen open to damage. I'm still looking to get some kind of plastic cover I can use with the skin I've got though.

I would pick one up but $30 seems expensive for what it is. I do like it tho.

Thanks for bringing this product to my attention. They also have a deal on a free case with a order. I just placed my order. Thanks again man.

Thanks for posting, I ordered it.
The free cases were unavailable

I cant believe people are paying $30 for that.
Pay me $25 and I will train you on how to hold your phone. Deal?

I wanted to see the free case that comes with it. However, I really like the idea. I could purchase an extra back for my phone so I could just swap backs when I am leaving the house. I WISH I could see this in stores first as I have watched the video on how to tell which size to use, but I am not sure as to how far down on my fingers I would hold the phone. I also would like to see how easy it would be to pull the adhesive of; I would hate to substitute this as a case and then be out in the Texas heat with this thing on and the adhesive wear off, sending my $600 phone plummeting to its death. However, pretty good review I will keep my eyes on this accessory.
Oh, and I am also curious as to much thicker the small and medium
TL;DR: I need to see this in person first before I spend $30.

Put that good phone to use and give them a ring to make sure it is in stock before you go.

Just got this today. The thing looks quite functional, but I wonder how durable it is in the long run?
The case seems like generic black TPU, feels a bit rubbery. Although, I haven't owned a phone case in a while so I can't say. I'm on the fence about it, but will put it through its paces before passing judgment.

Training us to hold the phone is not the point. I can't even reach the Menu button or a lot of real estate on this phone much less hold it without the threat of dropping it while trying to operate one handed. With one of these my thumb will be able to reach all areas of the screen with no danger of me dropping the phone. There are many times when one-handed usage is ideal, but this phone is so large for most it's not possible. I bought one just the other day and only wish I had happened upon this thread first to get the free shipping. Did get a free case, though.

Just wondering if once on is there any method to loosen the adhesive to take it off. Due to dropping my first phone I have an extra case as well as an extra battery. I'm planning on using both cases-will place Flygrip on one and leave the other original. I'm just thinking I might not like the color (I ordered white for my blue S3) and may order another color and take the first one off.

I didn't have the right tips for the dremel so I had to use a grind stone, it looks incredibly sloppy but the rubber is so tight on it that I'm not worried about dust. I found the right tips after I was done (imagine that) so the case I do in a few days should look a lot better. No pointers really, you should be able to free hand it.

in addition to pics without the silicone cover, can you take pics with everyone on and show the back near the camera. wondering if theres a gap or something between the rubber and plastic. im glad you had the balls to do this. i didnt think it was possible.

I will show pics without the silicone but I'll update it later when I re do it with the right tool. I thought I posted a picture of the back. There is a gap but the battery seals tightly between the plastic and the silicone. There's definitely no chance of dust getting in but I'll add the picture once I'm home.
And yeah I was getting tired of not having a good case for my extended batteries.

I have been working 7 days a week, family and work come before xda ^^

appreciate the pics man even though you being busy and all
that looks like a precise cut, very nice. any tips on how to get it right the first time?
the only thing that bothers me is the gap between the hardshell and silicone on the back (right under the camera).
i dont really care about the looks, but worry about rain water or whatever getting inside quicker.
since the original back cover is removed, the back and internals are technically more exposed.

Hey man I just purchased this battery and think your idea is awesome. I'm surprised no one has asked exactly how you modded this to make it work. So you cut the hard plastic backing and the outer silicone? The 3rd pic in the OP doesn't look like the silicone was cut.
