Got the case today, decided to take some first-hand pictures. Unfortunately I have to wait until Friday until it can wrap around a phone. But, I figured I would post some photos and first impressions.
I must say that it feels amazing in your hand. The material is soft, but not too soft. Build quality of the case appears to be very nice. There are a few spots where it appears there are rough edges, but once on a phone they would not be noticeable.
The case in it's package
Here you can see the felt material on the inside of the case

Compared to my Hero w/ a cheapo hard/rubberized case
So there is a soft felt-like material in there....hmm... will definitely need to look into that. If you drop your phone, how well do you think the case would handle it?
I love hard shell outside/rubber interior cases because they can take a beating (wife's Speck iPhone case)

If it's anything like my Hero's case, it will do great. The case is taking a nice beating but the phone is mint.
i used the simple silicone skin from sprint with my hero and it was great. it definitely attracted lint and was hard to take out of the pocket, but i dropped the phone on concrete numerous times and it just bounced with absolutely no damage to the phone, even when dropped screen-down. i'm worried the seidio case would be less shock absorbent as it's not really rubber

My Hero's case has held up really well. I dropped my phone on my garage floor and it slid about 2 feet. No damage to the phone.
its alot like the best buy one made by Seidio seen in this thread http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=207109
Now, all you need is the phone! lol
Seidio Innocase looks hot.
I ordered my Seid case but I think I might have screwed myself. I'll most likely order the big battery when it is released and I assume I'll need a different case. Does Seidio usually mane an Innocase for the larger battery?
Best Buy carries the same case but under a Best Buy house brand name. The Seidio name is on the box though. On the back of the case it says "Pt" instead of Seidio. Just got it today. They have it in gun metal, black, and purple. $29.99. It's an awesome case. Perfect fit.
I'm having a hard time removing the case. Help?

Push lightly on the back of the lower half where the two halves come together, then pull the top part off. I had trouble at first, but it came off after I did that.

Thanks for providing that tip on how to remove this case. I had a hard time removing it earlier. Which by the way, I was able to to remove it but not by the way you just described. Your way is way better
Thanks
I have one too as I have for my Treo Pro and Hero. I find that my Evo case is loose at spots? Anyone else find this? It might just be mine.

I actually thought it was a little loose, too. The case is clipped on snug, but it feels a bit wobbly in certain areas. Definitely not something that takes away from the quality of the case, but I wish it were a bit more snug.
This case and clip are amazing..I can clip it for work and put in my front pocket when I'm out..

you know you could put a piece of tissue paper in the areas that you think could use a bit more snugness. Any extra tissue coming out from the sides can be removed with tweezers
this case is awesome. best buy gave me 50% off since they were either out of the bluetooth headset or it was only for the first 10 people (they werent sure...lol)

UPDATE: hey guys updated my post with better pictures (with the realook screen protector on) I've dropped my phone once from my pocket (about 3 ft) to the pavement and it didnt have one single bump or scratch on it! everything still looked new and even the gel case!
Hey guys I just purchased the black T-Mobile gel skin for $10 (discount from friend) which originally sells for $16.99 and I am loving it! I've had so many smartphones in the past and would always use a hard shell case because I hated the gel skin so much! My friend used a gel skin on her mytouch and after a couple of weeks it became so loose it would slip right out. The material was very thin and it stretched out not fitting the phone anymore. This particular gel skin is really thick and durable! It feels great holding it and has a good grip.

this is how much space there is when you slide in the phone to the top. this for sure shows that it is a good firm fit and will never fall out or get loose at all.
There are no cut outs for the power button and volume rocker because the skin has its own buttons for those and they actually feel better than the phones! its easier shutting off your screen and adjusting the volume.
as for the realook screen protector it is reallllly nice. wasnt too hard to put on and plus if you do mess up you can wash it and reapply again. screen still looks the same with it on and my gf didnt even notice it haha she thought i was lying! anyways i love this combo that i have right now and wont have to buy any accessories for a really long time.
Back to the Future FTW!
I think that's because (maybe) Samsung makes these? They look awfully similar in design to the other cases they have the Samsung Store.
I'm getting this one tomorrow as I wait for my mesh case.

It's a T-Mobile branded case, but I'm not sure if Samsung designed the cases for them? i could be wrong.
the gel cases from the Samsung website has a bigger cut out for the speaker than T-Mobile's version.
yep, i have it. we have very few options for cases right now, so i went with this. I like it for a gel case, but when a few more come out i may switch to a harder case. we will see, but for now its good

Oh sorry didn't notice i chose the captivate haha thanks for the correction Maverick.
I'll see how well this goes for now and will probably get a hard shell case too only if this stretches out more in the future, but I'm happy with what i got.
I had the case when it came out and I think the quality of the case and protection is awesome BUT the Gel material picks up dust very easily. There are other Gel type cases that do not do this so if it's not a problem for you then this is an excellent case for you.
This is what I am stuck with for now. Six Tmo stores have been out of stock on the black gel case since the 19th, yesterday they all got 3 teal ones in stock so I bit the bullet and bought it because I need it. When the black ones come in I will exchange for it. Overall I love the feel of it and for some reason it makes the screen look bigger. Also ever time I look now it reminds me an iphone 3gs. I just hope they will make a make case or something that will hold it on my belt.

I am looking for a gel, silicone or plastic(not hard plastic) case that does not collect dust and will slip in a holster. Anyone know of a good one?
I also have the black gel case. LOVE it!!! dont see any reason to change it.
I want the teal one!
So does anybody know why these aren't available on the t-mobile website? Is it simply a supply problem? I find it crazy that this phone has been out for a couple of weeks now and still not a single case available via the internet from a domestic supplier. No T-mobile store in my town, so am I just up a creek?
I love the black gel case that I bought on day 1. The only semi-negative is the dust collection issue and (for us girls) makeup rubs off on it too. Other then that, it is great, appears to protect the phone from drops (sorry to say has happened to me already) and it gives it a nice grip on my dash when I need to set it up there for navigation use.
Does the gel cling to your clothing when you put it in or take it out of your pocket?
Yes it does. It attracts lots of dust. Its an awsome case but I might wait to get mine from ebay I ordered and return this one.
That looks like a silicone case... Not gel. Can someone confirm?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Do they make gel cases that don't stick to clothing? I like the bare phone for its ability to easily slide in and out of the pocket, and I dislike hard cases because they're too bulky.
only if they had one that didnt collect dust...

Yes, and it's actually quite annoying.
That said, it's probably the best soft case I've ever used (though, it doesn't protect the screen for ****). The only thing I think I would've preferred is a an N1-style pouch.
When pulling it out of pocket, it almost always turns it inside-out. It grabs onto lint and dust like a rubber glove. One benefit, however, is that it doesn't slide around when resting on a surface.
I would trade this thing in for a super durable hard case in a second. If they ever release a hard case with a screen protector as well, I'd be all over it.
Household tips from mom (beta)
If it's too sticky, try putting some sort of oil on it and rubbing it off. Probably not olive oil, it's a little acidic, but corn or canola oil might do OK with a lot of wiping. (Don't use your clothes, you'll leave a grease stain, and regular paper towels won't help the lint problem, for sure.)
If it doesn't work, it's mostly silicone it'll wash off with some soapy water (yeah, take the phone out of the case before you do anything).
I haven't found one of these cases yet, but oil took the stick right out of my dashboard sticky pad. Theoretically it should work.
im just doing a quick review on the otterbox for the evo and comparing it to the innocase active which I had before the otterbox.
for a complete more full fledged review on the innocase check here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699888&highlight=innocase+active
also keep in mind I cant take any real good pictures with the case on the evo because the evo is my only camera
as far as the build quality goes its amazing, VERY slim, very stylish. When I first got my innocase active case I thought that was top notch but the otterbox commuter one ups it in quality.
The main downside i've experianced with the innocase active is over time (and ive had since day 1) is that the rubber/silicone starts to feel real cheap almost like it loses its grippyness. It starts to get more oily almost. While the plastic on it is decent, around the edges the silicone starts to losen and while sliding it on a table over time, the plastic on the case is wearing.
With the otterbox how the plastic goes all around the edges on the side,its VERY firm and no moving of the silicone except on the top and the bottom which I like alot. Also it has a cover for the headset jack, and the charging port/hdmi. also almost forgot to add, pushing the volume and power button on the otterbox are ALOT easier to press and feel leaps and bounds better.
In the end I love it, alot slimmer in the hand compared to the innocase active.
I just like how it feels so much thinner than the active case but at same time, feels alot more durable/protective
just some pics below, (also pics are taken with evo, so take that as you will, and pics with evo in case those are taken with my laptop webcam.

Thanks for the review.
Do you know if the Otterbox case fits inside the Innocase Active's Holster?
and actually i dont know. i wanna know that as well because im looking to get a holster and it seems possible the active case holster may fit this?
anyone?

There's no brushed metal on it in the pictures on the website either.
Just copped one today...the screen protector is a pain to apply. Got a few air bubbles, think I may take it off, wash it, then reapply it.
Wait a minute. Does the case completely block the headphone jack? That combined with that egregious charging port blocker are deal breakers.
can you do a drop test comparison with the two? I'd really like to know which one is tougher..
I just ran to the local sprint store and got 2 of these. I don't know if this is national but they had a promotion where you get 25% off when you buy 2 or more accessories.
Even with the discount, it's still a bit pricey at ~$29/each after tax. But it adds little bulk, and what feels like a lot of protection. I also like the fact Otterbox throws in a full-face screen protector - completing the protection package.
first off, no the headset is permanently blocked. its a rubber stopper over it. and I LOVE IT, very firm, looks and feels great.
and as far as dropping, not gonna go all out, but have dropped it a little bit and so far so good holds up amazingly well, just the firmness and build is great.
and well most sprint stores do 20% off for 2 or more, and if your a premier cust its 25% off.

usually air bubbles are caused by dust/debris under the film. what i do is use scotch tape to pull up the edge of the screen protector, find and remove the dust/debris and press it back down. it usually takes me about 20 minutes to apply a screen protector perfectly, but my house is pretty dusty!
It does have that greyish look to it on the website. Kinda deceiving
actually....still very nice.
OP....thanks for the review.

I'm getting tired of the rubber piece that covers up the HDMI / mini-USB slot... it keeps opening up on me in my pocket. It seems the side with the mini-USB opens first.
I know there have been reviews for the body glove before, but my father has a captivate as well so I took the opportunity to take some pictures with it next to mine for those of you interested in the amount of bulk it ads. While it adds a little bit of thickness and length, I prefer the feel of it compared to running bare. It feels more solid, and less prone to slip in the hand. As for the fit, it is tight enough that I have no fears of it coming off unless I need it to. The feel of the materials is very nice, and it slides in and out of pockets easily. I got one off of ebay for about $10 with shipping, so for that price it's amazing, but I gladly would have payed the $25 or $30 stores are charging. Highly recommended!

have the same case and I've dropped this phone so many times at the bar... bounces rite back... i swear by it too!
While I like my Mirage, I like the cheap ebay "Argyle" TPU sleeves much more, They are slightly slimmer than the Mirage and they fit slightly snugger. For $8.53 they are well worth it.
Just an update, dropped my captivate for the first time today. It fell out of my pocket about 3 feet face up onto concrete. Luckily I had the case on and there was no damage whatsoever. There doesnt even seem to be any indication of an impact on the case. I'm very happy I got it!
Got one for xmas, I love it. gives it a little more girth and easier to hold onto. not rubbery as its a hard rubber but it does provide a little grip.
I very much suggest it for a case.
I dropped my phone today on the street and the body glove protected it real good and nothing happened...It fits the phone perfectly and snug to protect it...Without the case I would imagine some real damage might have been done to the phone...it doesn't come with a screen protector so that also needs to be addressed as well to make sure your phone is really protected.
I got 1 for myself and my son from the att store the day i got 2 captivates and i must say after holding the captivate with the case i cannot use it without a case anymore because it just feels to thin/light weird heh.
The only thing i noticed with the body glove (bought mine "OEM" off ebay) is that fitting it over the top left a slight scuff on the corner(those that are visible only at a specific angle). It might just be how i put on the case although
Just wanted to say thanks for this review with the great pics. I just bought 2 of these cases (one for me, one for my wife). Both of us love them, definitely gives the phone a better, sturdier feel to it.

Not at all. Doesn't collect dust, lint or anything else from being in and out of my pocket all day. FYI....you can get them fairly cheap on Ebay. Just search for "Samsung Captivate Body Glove" I got a brand new one for around $12 shipped.

Ya my father has a silicone case and I know what you're talking about, its always covered in dirt and dust. There is really no problem of that with the bodyglove except for the occasional dust collecting in the usb port, but thats expected with any case.

Not if you close the USB port cover.
This was the first case I picked up when I got my Captivate in July. Since then I have gotten other cases by Seido and Otterbox but I always come back to this one. Has a more substantial feel to it and doesn't add much bulk. Very nice case.
I think this case is really good cause you have a lot of space to press the volume button and to slide the charging thing. Definitely a great case. Got mine for about 13-14 dollar on the internet.

How easy is it to get the phone in and out of this case? I often put my phone in a Samsung dock at night. I had one of those hard shell cases, but they are a ***** to open so I pitched it.

It's not to bad it's fairly flexible material but stiffer then silicone.
I had/have one of the Incipio cases and it's nice but a royal pain to get off and it's scratched like a hockey puck now. My wife bought the pink mirage case when we got our phones and I wish I had bought my mirage case sooner. Excellent case for the Cappy IMO.

Thanks. I've looked at those skins for other devices but don't know anyone who has actually tried them. They look good on the website.
These work really well. My wife has had a few different ones on her iPod and they stay put, are easy to install, and don't leave any residue. I would recommend them to anyone.
I also had one on my N1. It was pretty nice and held up well. I've actually got a couple pics of it on the eBay listing I have for it now. It was a stormtrooper with a blaster. I think they will put pretty much any pic you want on the skin.
I have used these on ipods and xbox controllers they come off just fine dirt builds up around edges a little rubbing alcohol takes it right off

and just like with cases, I imagine they don't make any for the extended battery?
Very durable.
I have one of their skins on the front of my PC (It was free when I bought it...)
Since it's vinyl and not plastic, I'm sure you could trim it with an Exacto knife to put it on an extended battery, but I know that's not the same thing.
I wonder if someone sent them an ext cover if they'd be willing to mock one up?
I've used gelaskins brand skins before and they leave no residue. Alas, none available for TB yet. If these are similar vinyl I wouldn't think residue would be much of an issue.
Does it stick against clothes? I'm thinking about it, but I wouldn't get it if it makes hard to take out of my pocket.

My company gave skinit's out for its last birthday and I picked up one for my old moto droid. They work fine, they don't peel at the edges, no residue, no issues taking it in and out of my pocket. Only problem I had was with the front panel sticker, it didn't seem to fit as well as I would have liked, so I ditched it.
I eventually got bored of it and just peeled all of it off, came off in one quick peal.
One thing to note (iirc) the front sticker covers the softkeys in the front bottom. I didn't use this on the moto droid so I can't say anything about it affecting usage.
The gelaskins for the TB are out, but they do not include a front sticker, it seems.

i'm using a real dry carbon fiber skin from skinomi... fits perfect and looks slick
I had a skin on my EVO I believe was from DecalGirl, but the edges of the stickers raised a little, so after a few weeks it took extra effort not to accidentally peel them off. Could be fixed by making them thinner, tapering the edges, or overdosing the edge with adhesive. Are these better?
Sent from my T-Bolt
I have been using since original post no peeling at all and my phone goes in and out of my pocket alot. For application I did wipe my phone well with alcohol taking off the oil from my hands
It does not affect usage of my front buttons. Although it does diminish the light.
Every sticker fit perfectly on the phone not to big or small.

How do you think this skin would work if I used my phone in a case sometimes? Would it play nicely or do you think it would be a problem? (Yes, I realize the silliness in putting a case on a phone with a skin - I personally use my phone both with a case, sometimes, and naked at other times.)

I have had the same skin installed on my phone, it fits fine in the case-mate pop case. I haven't had any issue with it or with the car mount.
I had to exchange my TB just last week and it took some real effort to actually peel off the skin. I am getting a second set for the new unit soon.
PS. I think the phone wit skin would fit fine in a soft/rubber/gel case but hard case like seidio surface which is very tight fitting. I think that will create an issue.
I would say it would fit easily inside almost all cases maybe even all.
It's less then 1/16th in thickness
If I still had a micometer I would check it for you but its really not serious.

Skin makes it difficult to put on a hard case... Even though it is not very thick it still makes it difficult to put a hard case on and if you do use it with a hard case the case will screw up the skin and put creases on the skin as well as scratch marks on the skin.
Came across these by accident. I LOVE THEM! I was looking at the cases available for the Infuse, and found this odd brand by the name of Ballistic making a case for it. I became jealous and Googled them. Google took me to their website which I discovered, OUR PHONE is supported!

These are great if you have a UHaul to carry your phone around in after you have encased it in this thing!
The second one from the right...
It looks like it would suck to wake the phone up or use the fingerprint sensor.
And taking this on a plane TSA would think it's a bomb

Just emailed them to let me know when they are available. I have the otterbox defender and while I usually recommend them, the one for the atrix has issues. I'm on my second outer silicone part, and this one doesn't fit right either. The bottom corners bulge away from the inner plastic part, which makes them come off pretty easy.

x2
The cases happen to be made right here in Fort Lauderdale on the other side of town. I may go get one on Monday. I have the Commuter case which I like, especially since the ports and earphone jack have covers to keep out dust and dirt and the case is easy to get on and off. I dunno if the ballistic has covers and there are no pictures of the front i can find but the design and colors look nice and I am sure the protection is good. Anyone get one yet?
Damn that thing looks thicker then my otterbox defender case. I like the color schemes though. Does it come with a holster? I have to use the holster with my defender case, just to hard putting it in my pocket.

Let us know if you get one. I definitely want one! Black on black is my choice, but the red/black looks pretty cool too.
Awesome!
Got my Ballistic SG
Well I recieved my Ballistic SG in the mail today, got it off ebay for $22 bucks! I haven't bought a lot of cases for my Atrix yet, I tried a Otterbox Impact on launch day and was disappointed with that. This case however feels extremely tough, My brother has the Otterbox Commuter, which i thought was awesome untill this one showed up. It feels very solid, The ports on the side are left exposed, as well as the speaker grill. The space for the fingerprint sensor does feel a slight bit cramped when swiping downwards, I may have to re-enter my prints to get it to read more accurately, but for now it doesn't seem to affect it too much. I've only had it for about 30 minutes but so far i'm impressed. The case doesn't slide around on the phone (though that may be in part to my invisible shield). The rubber/silicone layer does attract dust, but overall I'm happy with my purchase. I attached a few pictures if anyone's interested.

Not a bad looking case ya got there... is it rubber or plastic or both?
Edit: so the grey is rubber, red is plastic?
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is. This post might have errors as I hate touchscreen keyboards.
Yeah, the black part is rubber, the red is plastic, with a weird layer of black, that feels like slightly rubberized plastic. After using it for a few hours now I'm still satisfied with it. Definitely feels more solid than my brothers commuter case. Now to wait for the HC to be released and try that sucker out.
Dude, that's freaking sweet looking. Can't wait for the HC cases to be released.

Can you please drop your phone from the second or third floor while it's in the case and if nothing happens can you drop it without a case? I just want to check how though is the case before investing in it.

epic !
I like it! May replace my Commuter, even though I couldnt be happier with the OB.
covered ports
I did not buy this case (yet). It looks really similar to the Commuter case as the designs are the same///a soft rubber held on with a hard plastic. However, the ports are not covered on this one. On the commuter both ports are covered in addition to the earphone jack. Someone here reported dust on the inside of the screen and it may have entered thru the earphone jack? On my wish list is a case with a built in stand.
