Has anyone tried the Body Glove case?
http://www.bodyglove.com/store/produ...&Go.y=13&Go=Go
It's $30, but do you guys think it's worth it?
I bought it for my wife's TP2 and it is very nice with one caveat.....it lacks a hole for the "blank screen while in call" sensor that is located just above and to the right of the "C" of HTC.
It does add considerable bulk to the phone but the end result is what looks like really great protection to the entire unit.
Belt clip looked pretty good but my wife had me remove the post since she never intends to clip it to a belt.
The fit of both halves is next to perfect but keep one thing in mind, removing the two pieces can be pretty difficult. If, for some reason, you access the sim/battery compartment on a regular basis then this case is not for you.
For my wife it is perfect since I fully expect it to get bumped and dropped so the case is ideal. I will post a picture of the hole I drilled to make the proximity sensor work on a thread that I started last week.

Gordo,
Thanks for your extensive reply. Can you please post a few pictures of the Body Glove case? I cannot locate any decent pictures of the phone from various angles with the Body Glove case. I do understand that the phone will become somewhat bulkier, but if you could provide a few pictures from a few different angles that would be beyond great.
It looks like we'll all have to drill holes in these cases if we want the sensor, and the pictures will help. Did Tmobile sell it for $29?
Thank you

I am out of town until late tonight but will post some pictures tomorrow.
As for the price, I am not sure! I was in a hurry, saw the case, liked the case and they just added it to the price of the phone. I will look at the receipt and check for sure when I get home.

Uh, this one is for the GSM version of the phone, not the CDMA.
CDMA versions have the sensor to the left of the "H"
Too bad it's for the Tmo version only. A version for the international/european gsm version would be nice.
But at least it's good for those with a Tmo version.
Pictures of the Body Glove Case
Here are the pictures of the TP2 and the Body Glove case. I took these pictures real quick tonight after I got home. Sorry if I didn't get as many angles as I would have liked. Tired and going to bed!

Move to accesories
This should go on it´s proper section
So everybody who are looking for this stuff can find it...
Do they do a non-T-Mobile version?
gordo,
Thank you very much for the images! I got the case and it looks like I will have to make the same hole you did for the proximity sensor.
It seems like a hole puncher did the trick? That may be my plan too.

I got my TP2 and the case from T-Mo yesterday. I really don't care about the proximity sensor as I use my bluetooth.
He actually used a 1/2" drillbit to drill the hole.

guess not mehhhh, hope its nice. Saw some on Ebay for like 1/2 the price, I wonder if they are fake
PDAir stuff looks really nice, but is a little too expensive for me. Check out the shipping charges for the ebay ones, with shipping included they weren't much cheaper last time I looked.
Yeah, I can't justify the cost of that.
A friend of mine owes me a large sum of money from some sports betting. He sucks at giving me cash, but bought my Xoom for me and allows me to spend $$ on his paypal account, thats why I splurged, lol

Splurge and get us all hookers?
So far this is the best looking case I have seen. I sent an email to them asking for a picture of it in a "typing angle" but haven't gotten a response. I can see how the typing angle works on the version 1 but I'm not sure on the version 2.
If anyone here has this case maybe you can post a pic of the different angles not shown on the vendor website.

I am also interested in seeing more pics of the PDair. This is easily the best case I have seen (maybe the Zenus ones will be nice, but they are taking their time).
If the design is similar to others like kevikev case, then I would go for kevikev case ..
Would be interested if you have to insert your xoom upside down like kevikev or they invent a better idea !!
Upside down is a showstopper as I haven't found a DLNA-compatible video player that rotates when the XOOM is upside down.

Whether you have it propped up in the landscape veiwing angle, or propped in the landscape typing angle, the screen remains with the vrz logo on top. I have only used it a little so far, but have not had a situation where I had to view the screen with vrz logo on the bottom. You do have to have the case open to access the charging port though. Or you can just insert the xoom upside down in order to expose the charging port while the case is closed. I think overall it was designed pretty well.

Hey guys check the link on my signature.
This is a stand that will fit any phone, with the case or without it.
It has multiple viewing angles, and you can rotate it to set the phone on any of its four sides.
You avoid blocking any ports with the rotation.
It is removable or you can keep it on the phone. It is also very small that u can bring it with you anywhere.

from ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270831391457&ssPageNam e=ADME:L:OC:AU:1123
review:
After my first disapointing buy from ebay i bought this "sexy"
synthetic leather case.
Its weight is 290 grams.
Is a very-very slim case and when it closed, the case is tightly fixed on the tablet.
It has 3 deep grooves for standing and the tablet is very stable in these positions.
The philosophy of this case is "to not hiding nothing from the tablet when you use it."
On the back side there is a gentle opening for the camera.
It smells like leather.
The close clip aplly a good force to keep the case closed.
Every button or socket of the tablet is accesible with closed case
And finally i am happy, and this is the most important
Looks good, does it have a typing angle? What is the name?
also are you able to charge the tab without having the case open? i have one such and i need to have my case open each time i charge which is a pain
This is maybe the case I'm looking for. Can you please share the name and the link for the case. Since you can't post links, replace for examples the dots of the url with spaces or some other characters.
Maybe this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320786081962#ht_2592wt_1165
You have to open the case when charging (if I remember right).
I bought this. Premium quality indeed.
EDIT:
cheaper one

I must say the case looks really nice!
I was wondering about the 3 viewing angles though - do they firmly support the Tab? Would hate to buy it and then find out it slips and falls out when I set it up on one of the angles (I saw that happen before...). Also, is it possible to use this case to prop your Tab up when you put it in your lap (in bed or something similar)? Or is it too flimsy?
And do you feel the extra weight when you carry the tab around? I really love how light it is right now, you don't even notice you have it in your bag (with the standard samsung pouch on) and it's really easy to hold it in one hand and typing with the other if you're walking around the house.

The gaps for the 3 viewing angles are deep enough, and yes you can use it in your lap, my wife do it often.

is still light it is just 290 grams more.
but if you want to use it with one hand, i think that the best way is
to hold it in portrait like a book because the total weight is about 850 grams
Well you got me sir, just ordered one myself. Hope it works as well as you described
Will report back once I have it and test it out a bit ^^
Can anyone confirm if this will fit tmobile galaxy tab 10.1?
Sent from my SGH-T859 using XDA App
Isn't it the same size? If it is, it should fit... can't help you out there though as I have a 7500 one.
The same case, with a new name, posted once again in a new thread. This was $12 on amazon last week.
Really? I sure couldn't find it when I looked (didn't look really hard though)
Doesn't really matter though, if it's a good case I'm more then willing to spend $23 on it. The most basic samsung pouch costs 25€ (about $35) here :S.

You definitely didn't look very hard. Here's my post from last week. Link to amazon where you can get if now for $19.

Aye, you're right. Wouldn't help me though, since amazon tells me that "there is a slight problem with my order" (they can't ship it to my place for some reason).
Still, good to know a cheaper option might exist for some people, thanks!

For people trying to find one from the UK...
I purchased a look a like case from here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005ECHQ4C
I was struggling to find it as cheap as in the US for example.
The one from the above link, seem to be very good so far. All viewing angles work great, both on a flat surface and on my lap. The typing position is my most used.
'Leather' quality seems good so far. Of course it is going to add some weight, but not really an issue for me. ALL ports/buttons are fully accessible, inc charging when case is closed.
its a great case
Ok so I got this case off eBay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayI...ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:AU:3160#ht_2990wt_754 and she just arrived today. I previously owned a tab 8.9 and had an official Samsung case for it, and this one is of exact build quality, obviously though this one has the spen and ir sensor exposed with the lid closed. It also has a small amount of magnetism where it locks close. If anyone wants some better pics let me know and I'll take some with a dslr.
Made my day, $16AUD and now my tabs not naked!

I have the same one. Bought from ebay aswell not same seller mine was $13USD , there is another seller as i was searching that had those as well but in green, pink, white blue and black.
Got the black myself.
sidenote. the case in the first post has a "silk" like front cover that scratches by virtually anything.
Nice, OP. I was thinking of getting one for my Note, but I didn't really like the stand. I prefer one that's a bit more stable, I guess.
I have it in white. Very very good case!

Hello all,
the guys from Rhinosheild launched a new product on Kickstarter. Currently it's only for IPhone but if we gather some people around here, they might do a bumber for our Z3C, too!
Anyone interested? Just post here and let me know if you would want it or why not!
If you want to know more about the bumber just look at their Kickstarter page:

Looks great but I'm not interested unless the bumper becomes a case for the back too - remember my phone is MADE OF GLASS what use is a bumper when the back is exposed (and I'm not going to class a *stick on* film as a suitable protection for the rear)

Problem with makers is they're looking for volumes which is why you see gazzilions of things for iPhones & Samsung galaxies, which all sell by the boatload. Lower volume selling devices don't get a look in.

and headphone jack please. I'm interested. I already have placed order for front and back rhino shield so a bumber would complete the set nicely.
+1 "cover all flaps"
but it should be magnetic charger compatible... :good:
I would love one as well. With just headphone and magnetic ports exposed.
Same here, I saw that the other day and thought it was a shame they didn't make one for the Z3c. So yes definitely would be interested if like the others said before me it has the jack and the magnetic port accessible.
Yep me too, as others have said, keep it covered, and just expose the magnetic port , there seems to be no good cases made for this phone.
If they had one of these for the z3c, I would buy it in a heartbeat. Cover everything except the headphone port (even the mag port if that's what's needed to make this structurally sound). Popping off the bumper at night to charge wouldn't bother me a bit.
I've just emailed them about it, see if I get a response...
Yessssss! Do it! Thank you for taking the action ?
