And it is amazing! adds the perfect weight, doesn't seem to attract lint and it makes this phone look damn good! It has a detachable clip which i found can also be used as a kickstand i guess lol. Its 2 pieces consisting of a chrome cover and a textured back. I bought it for $30 from my local t-mobile store which was pretty steep in my opinion but i love it!

I agree. After looking at the pics, it's even more convincing that it's a similar one that I had for the G1 which I didn't like since it adds too much bulk than I wanted.
But thumbs up to the OP if he likes it, hopefully the corners don't wear out fast on you after putting in and pulling out of your pockets a lot.
this is the same case that bodyglove is selling on their website. I have been planning on buying one I am glad to see some pics. The kickstand is what is gonna do it for me!

Nice, I had a body glove for my G1. Really liked it. Just came from my T-Moblie store but all they had were the gel cases. Guess I'll have to wait.
I have one of these for my G1 and it is really nice for protecting the phone. After over a year the phone is still mint but the case itself started to peel about a month ago and it's getting bad now. It still works great though and the plastic clip is super heavy duty. I have dropped my G! many times in this thing and there is not a scratch on it. It is kind of bulky though but great protection.

You're legally required to have car and health insurance...and a case isn't comparable to car/health insurance. a case won't help when your screen cracks, or when your phone is stolen.

Ok, I just happened to notice they finally have the Slider case for the Vibrant in The SGP Store.
Yesterday they still weren't up yet.
Remember, this is for the Vibrant and not just another i9000 case.
Here is the link:
http://www.sgpstore.com/index.php/cPath/23_29
I'm picking one up ASAP!
EDIT 9/2/2010: Apparently The company has run into some production problems.
That is why the cases have been delayed.
The entries have since been removed from their website.
Is that the same as the magenta one in tmobile stores?

no, it's not a silicone case.

ARRRRG!!! theyre not in stock yet!
Edit: I ran to get my CC
Actually, T-Mobile does offer a similar case to the Slide cases mentioned, and only in the magenta color (so far, anyway).
Just for kicks, I tried it on my phone, but the plastic just seems cheap and it doesn't feel all that secure where the parts join. I would hope that the SGP ones are better quality than the no-name ones T-Mobile offers.

Title says it all
But on related note, is the included screen protector good? I was planning on ordering a realook one but hey, if this gets the job done without ruining the screen quality...
Are these glossy casses and do they provide grip? Also if they are glossy wouldn't they start to get scratched up when putting them down on hard surfaces?...anyone know?
I am dying for a white one. These are the nicest cases I have seen for the vibrant thus far.
Pretty sweet I dig them too just not sure what color...hmmm white or blue...
If they would just hurry up and get these in stock...

Anyone got one yet? Someone post a short review of fitment. Hoping that the case fits well and stays intact unlike some other ones with similar install style.
I hope this version doesn't have a cutout for the antenna.
The pics definitely have the antenna cutout. Hopefully these are just sample pics.

Those Ultra Silke silicone cases look quite nice, especially if their claims of them not being sticky/tacky are true.

Hey everyone picked this case up at Sprint store today for my ET4G and made a video with the good old Nexus S 4g. Here it is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCOYXD8OTSA&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I really like that! Nice case! Wonder of they have it online yet.
Sweet im getting one tomorrow.
its a pop case i love them not as much protection as the tough cases but nice non of my store have them and there not on the site
My store just got them we only ordered 2 we didnt know what they looked like but it is nice the kickstand is a little flimsy but all in all best I have seen there are not many out yet.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
well i thank you for posting atleast we know they are coming now i want protection for my 600 phone lol im sure they will come out with a case mate tough since there is a pop case i work ut and run with my phone so the protection is needed
That looks pretty bulky.. how does it feel in your hand
?
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic Touch 3g
I can't say say from this phone but the pop cases don't add much its like a speck candy shell but thinner to me its thinner then some of the thicker silicone and tpu cases but then again I like the casemate touch cases so thickness is nothing to me
It feels nice the grip is nice to have on the sides and the lip on the front is nice incase you want to lay it on its face it will not scratch the screen.

Every white case I ever bought turned colors the more I use it...have you noticed this yet at all...I'm going to have to check back in a few weeks with you to see.
I had a Case-Mate Pop case for my Nexus S 4G, and while it looks really nice, I would still prefer a case that can be removed more easily.
It was a pain to take off the case and then put the phone back into it. Since I have a spare battery for the GS II, I can see this being a problem. At least for me.
But it is a good case =\
Kick stand is nice, but the kick stand on this one looks cheap and to me it looks like it would break easy. What are your thoughts on this OP?

I like the look of otterbox better, but tridant has the kick stand...so depends on what you think you'd use more. I had an otterbox on my phone for a while but realized the bulk was too much since I baby my phone. I'm sure same would be for the trident. If you drop ur phone a lot or do a lot of hiking with it, bulk it up....but otherwise it really takes away from the slim design.

I haven't seen an AMS until now, ordered mine. 34.95 on amazon.
I have the otterbox defender case. The back of my holster clip locks in so it can be a kickstand. Its very bulky but it works.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I have the trident aegis. With trident cases, the plastic is on top of the silicone when you put it on, with silicone sticking out on the corners. That way, the silicone doesn't easily stretch like it does on the otterbox. Especially if you take off your case on a regular basis. I have the defender for my ipod touch, and I've used it on other devices as well. In my opinion, the screen protector is horrible as well. The worst I've ever used(yes its worse than those cheap ones you can get off ebay in a 3 pack for 3 dollars). Trident cases also have dust covers over the mic and speaker grill, whereas the otterbox does not. So I say go with the Kraken. It would be worth it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Thanks. I decided to but the Otter from BestBuy, and also order the Kraken online to try both out when the Kraken gets here. The first day with the Otter was terrible with the screen protector, but now it's a lot better, since I guess it either stuck to my screen better, or O got used to it. Does anyone know the quality of the built in protector for he Kraken? And also, one last thing, if I were to drop the Kraken, since the outside is; plastic, how durable is that plastic. Because the thing I like the most is he outside rubber for the Otter.

Just got my Kraken today, absolutely love it. As for the screen protector, I threw it away, didn't even bother with it. I've had ghost Armor on all of my phones as well as my wife's phone, I get a new one put on once a month and have never had a problem. The plastic around the Kraken is very durable and wouldn't be worried if I drop the phone. I'm coming from an Aegis, a lot better protection and I've owned otterboxes before, Kraken from here on out for me.

i just got this case a few days ago and i like it so far. im coming from an otterbox, which i started to not like that much after the rubber outer layer began to get weak. im sure i could probably contact otterbox about it and they would likely send another one. but i wanted to give the kraken a shot since i really like the aegis and my only contention with it was that there was no kickstand or belt clip. i have to get used to the texture, hard and a lil slippery is much different from the otterbox's soft grippy exterior...but not a downer by any means. also, i found the screen protector to be decent and actually a welcome edition. i was ready to go without it or use a Realook screen saver that i have, but the one that comes with the Kraken is nice and im not having an issue with it at all.
one issue i do have with the Kraken is that they didn't design it with a hole for the indicator light (top right). i actually use mine and when im doing in the field and my phone is on silent. so that would be a good thing to adjust if they can for future designs.
Be different, go trident... I see too many otterboxs.. Mostly on iphones though

That was a selling point for me as well. I love my ballistic sg maxx, particularly due to the less bulky holster....so it will probably be my go 2 when leaving the house. When hanging at the house I will make good use of the kickstand feature on the otter holster. My only wish would be that it could be used in portrait mode. I had an otter on my last phone and NEVER knew it had a kickstand until a few days ago. :banghead:

Does this have a belt clip (deal breaker for me)? Also, how is the screen protector? Do you have to use it? Thanks.
Yes, it comes with a belt clip. It's a separate holster that stays on your belt and the phone clips into it. It can also be used as a kickstand if you take it off your belt and 'lock' the clip open.
If it's anything like the HD2 Otterbox the screen protector is good, but mine didn't hold up well to repeatedly removing the phone from the case, it developed blotchy parts where it was sticking right to the screen and other parts weren't. Eventually I removed the screen protector (it's not designed to be removable, so you can't put it back in if you do remove it).
dang. That is a good deal. I bought a Glacier one from Amazon yesterday for $35 I think. Im kind of nervous if the case is legit though...
This is the one I bought, anyone buy from "ITX Wireless" before?
NEVERMIND: I cant post links yet, but seller is ITX Wireless on Amazon, hopefully its real.
Thanks OP for the link! Just bought myself the Glacier to go along with my white SGS3.
Bought! Thanks, nice deal. I just happened to break my case today unfortunately...so this worked out well. Went with Glacier.
Thanks for posting this excellent deal. I've used Smartphonepedia.com recently. I ordered my Galaxy S3 Body Glover tpu case from them. It arrived extremely fast and if the case is knockoff, I honestly couldn't tell. It came in retail packaging and the product shows no signs of being 'cheap' or 'knockoff'.
I definitely did not hesitate on taking advantage of this deal. I ordered the glacier colored case and even though it's on back order, i'm perfectly fine with waiting considering the cost savings and besides my Body Glove case from this company is holding me over just fine. Thanks for this find again!

If you're looking for protection, I probably wouldn't recommend it. There really isn't much of a lip over the screen and the top corners seem to slip off a little too easily. It's not like the whole case would accidentally fall off though since the metal part helps to keep it somewhat rigid.
If you're looking for style, then go for it. It's definitely a unique case.
Heads up, if you actually buy it from Mindplar.com it's $45 with shipping and comes with an assumingly cheap battery bank. A little bit cheaper.

This case does indeed look night, I never spend this much on a case but I might have to, maybe I will wait for a few other reviews.
These are pretty sharp looking. I have only been using a sleeve, but might have to consider this. I think Eddie Van Halen would approve of the red one.

Nice case !
I seen 1 million cover for htc one but i never seen this one before ! thanks , probably i'll purchase this , seems really good
Just got mine in the mail. Came with a free 1000 mAh power bank.
Didn't realize that the IR port was covered, no big deal though. I can use a nail to put a hole in there.
Kind of disappointed that the "metal" part is glued on, and it doesn't wrap around the lip like other hybrid cases.
The case itself is very slim. If you have a glass screen protector it wouldn't wrap around it. Looks really great in hand though.

So looking at the pictures previously posted, is the rubber very...rubbery? lol like the ports seem very loosely cut (charging port) and the edges seem like very rounded. I am used to the UAG case and think the cuts and lines are so sharp that this case (while looking pretty rad) has some variances in quality
am i right?
