I know people were asking in another thread about cases, I ordered a couple a few weeks ago and just received them so I thought that i'd post some pictures and stuff. Ordering things off of ebay can be a gamble half the time but both of these cases that I ordered were worth it.
Soft Crystal Case:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360252216436
Hard Plastic Case:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180493257998
The soft crystal case is the case I am currently using, it fits perfectly. Its not loose at all and its thick enough that it would protect your phone from a fall also there is no way your case is getting scratched in this. Its got holes for the charging port, headphone jack, camera, and the speaker phone. What i really like about this case is that the butttons are covered. There is no holes for the buttons but the plastic is thinner and a little bubbled out over the buttons, you can still press them perfectly.
For the hard plastic case, as you can see in the ebay listing it is two plastic halves that clip together over the phone. I thought that this was going to make the phone very fat but it didnt at all. The plastic is very thin, and still rigid. When you put your phone in the case there is all the holes for everything including buttons. This will protect your phone and since it is more rigid than the plastic case, this might protect your screen from twisting more than the soft gel case. One problem with this case is that once its clipped on its pretty hard to take off because the clips are pretty tight. I guess this is a good thing, but if you just yank it apart the clips break.
If you are more rough with your phone I would go with the plastic case, Tho i think i prefer the gel one, It looks cooler because the back is sort of see through.

Thank you! I'm going to buy the Soft Gel case
Awesome. THanks for the review. Those are the same cases here
http://www.netimes.com/shop/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-c-70_748.html
I just ordered 1 along with a 10 pack of screen protectors.
Hey every1, is the soft case similar to a silicone case in feeling? thanks!
btw... how much was shipping? How long did it take?
Yes similar but a lot thicker, more hard rubber feeling, like a hard gel. Shipping took like 8/10th days to get to my house in Toronto, I believe shipping was free.
I ordered from the netimes site on Monday. The package arrived this morning ( very fast! ). The shipping was 19 bucks, but I ordered a few other things for my phone and the wifes.
I just used the HTC G1 pouch, and it's the perfect size
Black xperia + red hard gel case = magic
OP: I ordered the soft case for the link you provided, though I took the "grey" version.

Where'd you find a red hard-gel case? The only ones I've seen in read seem to be hard plastic shells.

Well, since he seems to be from Japan, I bet he was talking about this one:
http://en.item.rakuten.com/keitai/111-986224/
Looks more like a hard-plastic shell rather than a "gel case".
I did notice on eBay a number of sellers selling cases very similar to those however, available in red, blue, and black. Prices are in the $5.00 USD incl. shipping.
I ordered the rubberized hard case. I will post pics when I get it.

the polka dots really bug me...lol..
cant seem to find soft crystal case without them
edited: nvm found them lol
Actually the circles look really good, especially since the case is sort of see through u can still see the Sony logo and xperia through the case.
Here are the pictures for the Gel case on a White X10

thanks for the pics
looks pretty good
i dont know, just a personal opinion but i feel that the polka dots make the phone looks....feminine WHICH is fine just not my cup of tea
yea I don't really like the circles too much either but I have already ordered ones that are just clear. I will post pictures of those up once I get them next week.
how much did you pay for the ones without the circles?
i only found one seller on ebay with those and i got it for around 6 bucks usd.
It wasn't expensive. If you want to get the ones without the circles, I got them here:
http://www.netimes.com/shop/resin-s...-ericsson-xperia-x10-p-2567.html?cPath=70_748
yea i saw that website.
the one i found on ebay is actually a tiny bit cheaper. pretty much the same price.

Just got this case today. The case feels so cheap and loosely. All I wanted to say is I don't like it and won't recommend anyone getting it.
But I will live with it though.

Finally a review with pics on the amzer for the Vibrant... I've been wondering about this one for a while, finally your review with some good clear pics have pushed me not to get the Amzer and get the Tmobile case instead.
Yea I got the amzer jelly case as well it was okay but felt a little too cheap it seemed like the phone could come out very easily cause the mold wasn't even that great.
I also didn't think they'd brand the crap out of it like that, the pictures didn't show that on their site.
I wouldn't get anything from amzer anymore because I also got the screen protectors and that wasn't really an exact fit neither. I sent an email regarding that to them and no reply.
That's too bad. I had had high hopes for the Amzer products. Hopefully their TPU stuff is a little better.
Got the black slicone from Tmobile today and I am happy. It doesn't get the dust like the one I bought from ebay from China also has a good snug fit also not like the ebay one. Funny thing though the Tmobile one says made in china.... but it is a better quality silicone.
THANK GOD you made a review almost bought it getting the tmo case instead
Good thing I didn't get this and stuck with the T-Mobile case, lol. I guess you really get what you pay for. Thanks for the heads up!
Arrived today as well. I'm returning it. Garbage, this is not what they had pictured when I ordered it.
So I read about 50 pages of forums before buying from amazon.. just got white and purple jelly from amzer .. these are nice with no loose color and working for my vibrant. Also, the purple shown in the picture is a lot darker than the purple that arrives, which is really a very light purple. Camera, speaker cutouts are perfect, volume toggle and power button could use a little more pronounced rubber, but all in, it's working great. am also waiting for luxe argyle case .. these got lot of praise on amazon
Got my amzer jelly and amzer luxe argyle cases today. I will try and take some pics when I get home tonight. The jelly will likely get sent back. It's not what I ordered and it's not nearly as nice as the argyle.
The jelly has a thinner rubber that's loose on the sides. The argyle is a smoother, thicker and harder type of rubber. The fit is very tight on the phone and the cutouts are perfect. The rubber looks and feels smooth, but it's not a slippery smooth. It is tacky enough to stay put when you have it in your hand or set it on a desk, but it's not tacky enough that it sticks to the insides of you pockets and grabs all the lint. So far I'm impressed.
I've been using the T-Mobile case I got when the phone came out. I love it comes out of my pocket without sticking just hope they make good hard cases or come out with more cool colors.

I agree this silicone case blows...worst silicone case I have ever bought. I bought it a couple of weeks ago and my Vibrant floats inside the case badly. Also, the volume and power button extrusions are flush and difficult to locate. Poor thought in design. Score: -5
I have the argyle tpu case..and the TPU is more stiff than the chinese tpu I currently have on now.

I bought the Amzer from Amazon as well. No good! Too loose. I has already ordered a 99 cent with 99 cent shipping plain black jelly on ebay and it was actually a bit tighter.

Needless to say I got one and it was fine. Not as tight as I'd like, but much better than the Amzer.

I ordered this from eBay the other week, so much cheaper and makes the phone feel better on the hand:

Theres another thread on XDA about this case http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754582
My kids love watching movies on my wife's phone and have dropped it a few times, but luckily no scratches or dents yet. Since there weren't many choices locally, I decided to get the "Black Silicone Case" from Amazon since it was around $4 shipped.
It shipped from Van Nuys, CA and took three days... which is a little odd because I'm in Hollywood, CA which is about 10 miles away... Thanks USPS!
The case is pretty thick and seems like it'll take a few drops. It's on par with other silicone cases in terms of feel. The fit is good, nice and tight, and ports all line up.

hows the quality?
I got the black Amzer jelly case from Amazon. IMHO the quality is perfect.
I got this one because it has the textured grip feel on the sides and because the corners are thicker. I figure that thicker corners would do better at shock isolation.
It's pretty good quality. The only other silicone case I've had some time with was for the Blackberry Bold and it was Blackberry branded. I'd say they're the same. I'd say it's the same as the Amzer one but a lot cheaper. I'm not a big fan of the Amzer cases because of the design on the silicone and their hard case having the extra material at the top, with hole for the sensors, it's bit tacky looking.
is it bendable or pretty stiff?
...sorry about all the questions, im interested

It's really soft, the edges around the screen give pretty easily. It's not soft to the point where the phone is going to pop right out, there's enough of a lip around the screen to keep that from happening. It's tight all the way around so the phone doesn't move around in it. Seriously though if you don't like it, you're only out $4. That was my reasoning anyway.
good point thanks! nice to have people give their reviews and deals on things

Black Silicone Case / Skin / Cover for Samsung Captivate SGH-I897
i went to a mall kiosk today and put my phone inside one of these and it is really slick... the lady seemed irritated that I didn't want to purchase it. feels like a dry-ish dolphin
The case I got was the opposite, it's pretty damn sticky... like sticks to your pant pockets or the inside pocket inside my wife's purse. Also picks up a ton of lint, dust, etc. I'm starting to dislike it...
^^^ I just received mine yesterday. I would have to agree with you on the lint part.
For $4 and change, I won't complain. This will have to do until I find a good hard shell.

I got mine today. Great quality. It was exactly what I needed
I just ordered the set with the case, charger, and screen protector. Like kkeo and whitesedan I don't like the fact that it's pretty sticky and picks up lint pretty bad since I keep it in my top shirt pocket at work. I also don't like the seam where it's molded together. I'll need to take a razor to it so I can smooth it out. But then again for $6.19 shipped that's pretty good. It fit's perfect I just don't like how sticky it is. I'm still looking around for a case to replace it but this one works pretty good for the cost.
I have this same one and it's pretty good, a bit sticky though. The grip however in your hand is great, actually take photos better now because it grips so well. It's soft and easy to take off when I need to change the battery, (I bought this ebay $10 charger and dual extra batteries deal).

dunno about the s2 models, but the pictures for the galaxy note looks like it doesnt provide enough corner protection. when you drop a phone, its 90% likely to land on a corner first, so corner protection is important.

sure, will do.
I got the black mesh yesterday. I really like it. Looks good, feels good. Adds about 2mm to total width. I think it covers corners well enough to protect Pretty well, but it does leave the top and bottom and half of each corner exposed. Sure does squelch the accidental hitting of volume and power buttons, which was a major goal. Fits fine into PU "leather" belt case I got.

To my surprise, the bubble case has arrived today...very fast postage, only took about a week
Anyways....here are some pictures and my thoughts about it, comparing to the Nillkin TPU case.
# The black part of the back of the case is actually of hard plastic material, and the grey sides of the case are of TPU. It kind of remind me of the Commuter Series of Otterbox, but instead of being 2 pieces, it's all in one piece. It does feel cheaper than OtterBox though....well...IT IS...
# It fits the phone really well and covers the edges of the screen a bit better than the Nillkin ones.
# I'm not sure if it is because of the hard plastic at the back...but it is actually quite hard to put the case on without feeling that I might somehow scratch the sides of the phone. But if you don't have a habit of taking the case off frequently, it will not be a problem to you. If you do...then...this will definitely cause you some pain.
# I think the dimensions of this case are a bit wider, longer, and thicker than the Nillkin....but NOT that much.
# The unlock and volume buttons are HARDER to press than the Nillkin case
# The glossy back bubble offers great look and also good grip (surprisingly).
All in all...I am very happy with this case...and personally I prefer this one than the Nillkin because of it's cool looks and the mixed of materials of hard plastic and TPU (somehow I think it might provide better protection).
So, anyways...I hope this helps and also hope to hear others opinions soon...
Feel free to ask me any questions if you have any

Hi DMax!
Thanks for the wonderful review!!! i am sold over it now!
Just wanted to ask if it really is anti-slip, as the note is thin and big, its quiet slippery now.
and also if the back is glossy, do you think its so "glossy" that its going to show up scratches real soon???
Thanks mate!

The ebay seller mentions no shipping to India in his listing
EDIT 2:
Bought the white bubble case from Obostore, what the heck, lets see how good this is!: )
Also ordered the Black Mesh case from an eBay seller for US $4.50. hope the quality n fit is good! last time I had a mesh case for my Galaxy S and the rubber coating started peeling off in a months time!!! had to thrown it away as it started looking ugly!

yep mate, sure sounds a great deal.. as the ebay seller wasn't shipping to India, I started searching other sites for thi, and found it at obostore. I have bought stuff from them before, and they are good.
Will upload pics after I get it. Ordered white here so that if quality isnt good, then can order black from the ebay guy if he agrees to ship here.
There are many hard cases on the market and most feel like hard plastic shells. This case actually feels like rubber with the stiffness of plastic. It just feels like quality. It also manages to come about 1/4 of an inch further on the bottom and top to cover more area. The cutouts around the power and volume rockers are recessed which make a world of difference when pushing the already almost flush buttons. It also give extremely good grip. I dropped my first galaxy s3 with a casemate on it and that case didn't have any bottom or top protection and my phone suffered. I posted a picture of the damage and the casemate. If it were in the rearth it would have survived without a scratch. I can't say enough how good this case feels in the hand. Its a really slick phone and it needs a grippy case.

Glad to hear a good review. I ordered one of these for my preordered S3.:fingers-crossed:
I ordered this, the casemate barely there, the Nilkin hard case, and I bought an Affinity smoke glass hardshell from Bestbuy that I was planning to return once I got one of the cases I ordered but boy does it look nice. I might keep it. It looks gorgeous.
Is there any angle that would hit the bottom or top edge if you dropped it? like facing 45 degrees forward?

No there isn't unless it falls on a squared edge. Plus the rubbery coating gives extra protection.
if i ever buy a hardcase for my galaxy it will be this one.
glad to hear it works well.
Wow. After this case came, on the website they are giving away lanyard strap with it.......
could you post some pics of the phone with the case on it?

Had the Slim on my SII and my Note. Absolutely loved them.
If I had a III this would be the case for me without a doubt.
It's a shame that they don't have any plans to release one for the One X.

I could but they wouldn't do any justice to the pics on the rearth website.
I bought one of these for my Note. For the $30 I paid for it, I expected more. Why they don't make the plastic go all the way around the bezel is beyond me. I will pass on this one for the S3.
I think it would be fragile, that the reason no cases manufacturer makes a case like this with the bottom and the top covered.
Just ordered mine, thanks for the recommendation.
It took me a while though as I could not find a slime case!

http://www.rearthusa.com/galaxy_s3_ringke_case
i think it's the size of the phone. large, but thin, that makes me feel like it will not take a fall very gracefully. fingers crossed until the case arrives.
oh also, in case anyone is having problems googling the case... it's Rearth Ringke Slim (the OP is missing a "g" and added the "e" in slime LOL)
This is an advertisement, not a review.
Got my Ringke Slim the other day. Similar to my Galaxy Nexus one, except it doesn't protect the top and bottom and it doesn't come with a screen protector or rubber port protectors. Overall I love it though, very thin. But after receiving my ROCK case, I'll probably use that more often. If you're looking for something that will make it look like you don't have a case on it, this is it.

Looks like an Otterbox knockoff, but at $12.00 shipped it's gonna be hard to pass up for those looking for a case with great shock/drop protection qualities
I ordered 2 of those from Amazon and should be here Tuesday and Friday. It seems there's a delay on the white one. I had Ballistic case before on my Amaze 4G and have dropped it from about where my pocket is and not a scratch on the phone. I hope this case offers the same protection as it cost less than $30 shipped for both.
I like how the hard shell wraps around the sides, unlike the Incipio. I don't like the giant hole for the camera, speaker, and flash. Three separate holes would be better. I guess it's cheaper to make one big hole. For that price, though, I'm interested in reading some reviews!
Thank you for the information about this case. I ordered one through the link you provided.
I received my black/black Acase today and i must say that not only it looks thin still, but also feels better protected compared to thin cases. Its like having otterbox but a lot less bulky. Still waiting for the white/black version and then I'll take pics to post.

Give us pics now! Please ? I'll order one if its nice.
The Black/Black is exactly like the one in the first post. I ordered a second one which is White/Black. I will post pictures of boths for comparison. Meantime, you can check them out here.
Looks almost exactly like the incipio case I just got but a little bit bulkier at the lip/rim.... But for 12 bucks not a bad trade off.
Hi I had a quick question my friend got the Acase for his iphone but one thing I noticed was the backing or hard shell was really slippery which made him return it in the end. Hows the hard part on this is it a smooth plastic or slippery?

Its actually quite a bit different. Look at where the outer shell wraps around the inner liner on both cases.

Yeah I see what you are talking about
I had this case for my 3D and it worked very well, it cracked around the bottom on the hard shell but this was after many falls and some abuse. I am ordered one now and recommend them, last I remember is that the back side is smooth but not all that slippery.
On a side note if anyone is getting their phone from Best Buy they have a special going on where you get a Zagg screen protector and the Platinum Case with a separate swivel holster for $40. Case alone was $35 bucks, I will try to take some pics later.
I got this the other day and really like it (especially for the price). I was a big fan of the Case-Mate Tough Case for my iPhone 4 previously and this is very comparable. The biggest thing I've noticed about this case is the indent below the home button. This is a HUGE feature to me because it makes hitting the, fairly small, home button easy.
I had stupidly bought a Ballistic Case from the store and the lip on the front was so bulky it almost ran flush with the bottom of the home button and made it really hard to press naturally. I wrote a review on amazon for the black version with pictures.
For the price this thing is awesome. I'm thinking of getting the white/black one now that's its available on amazon.

Thanks for the review you put up. You didn't mention it but how are the power button and volume rocker? Easy to press or does the case inhibit operation of these buttons?

Ya, I have no problems with them. They push easily but so much so that they get hit inadvertently. It's natural enough that I didn't even think about mentioning that in the review.
Just so you guys know. The seller confirmed that there is no logo at the back whuch i prefer

How does this case compare to the incipio dualpro silicrylic?
