Does anyone have any experience with this case? It looks nice.

hhmm looks interesting
Yeah it does... I think I am about to buy one...
Well, I just bought it. If anybody wants, I can post pics or do a review when I get it... Just let me know..
alright ! sounds good man, i was waiting for the otterbox but i might have to give this a try first lol
make a mini review when you do get it
thanks!
Will do. Should be in by Friday-Monday it says.
It was the only positive thing about my Vibrant. I have a very disappointing Seidio case on my MT4G that was waiting on an Otterbox but will soon be covered in a Trident.

Okay, this is definitely the best case I've ever had (Other MT4G cases I've had are: silicone, black rubberized hard case, and clear hard case). It does add some bulk, however. The material is very high quality and sturdy. There is NO creaking or anything like that. The video right above pretty much shows you everything about it, so I won't go into those details because it is much more effective to actually see it. If I can get a picture of my phone next to another MT4G without a case, I will post that. While it does add some thickness, you can't get true protection like this without a little thickness. Overall, it is a very high quality case, and I am happy with it. If you have any questions, just ask, and I will answer them for you.
Does this case like to collect dust that's all I need to know before I order it

Ordered on ePay from the Oregon seller. It arrived at my doorstep here in the SE in 2 days. Nice case - the design is well thought out and most of all, IT FITS! I kept the Realook and it took a minute or two to install. Looking through their current product offering, I see holsters and I am hopeful one will follow soon for this case.

I've have had it in my pocket for a few hours and no dust so far.
Ok thanks ordering now can't afford to have my screen crack again even order zagg skin so I wouldn't scratch the back of the phone.

How hard is the case to take off? I was planning on charging batteries via external charger.
- Frank
I think the case is sold out for now.
Also, the case is not hard to take off at all. I did it yesterday while I was driving a manual car in traffic on the highway. Lol...
And one side note, I do notice that the outer silicone case around the edges of the phone does attract some lint after being in a linty pocket, but I love the case overall.
Just got my yellow and black one its awesome I order mines directly from the site http://www.tridenteer.com/categories/HTC-myTouch-4G/Cyclops-Series-by-Trident-Case/

too bad it doesn't come with the kickstand. I'll stick with the one i got from tmobile now. The kickstand is absolutely invaluable.
Oh hell... I just watch the video. Nice. The deal maker for me was finally finding a quality screen protector that covers the entire front side. I also like the fact that the hard case is easy to take off.
Buying this now. Amazon Prime....
Edit: Screw Amazon on this one. "Takes two to three weeks to ship" - yet they have it on Prime. Will just buy directly from the makers.
Does the screen protector effect the proximity sensor? I've had the proximity sensor lock up the phone from being able to hang up on some screen protectors.

Hey guys just got my $13.97 Black Armor case from Amazon. I must say, this case is just as well built as an Otterbox! My only gripe was the smokey built in screen protector, but after I gave it the windex treatment it's good to go.
All the ports are covered well, with easy access to the kickstand. It adds about .3 thickness when on the phone, but not too heavy at all.
It's a damn good deal for the price, gives me everything I want in a case! No it doesn't come with the holster, but they are available separately! Check out amazon for more colors!
If anyone needs more action shots lemmie know!
Got the same case (in white) from eBay for cheap as well. Definitely had to cut out the built-in screen protector; drove me nuts! Other than that, awesome case.
Yea, I sat outside with it and noticed the Smokey mess all on it. Gonna go out to a hardware shop and try to find some plastic to cut n replace it!

You should love it. I know I am not sad, I don't need a whole bunch of added bulk or protection just enough.
Sent from my Generation X using xda premium
yeah off of ambitronic + a screen protector didn't cost me much. only thing is that some microusb chargers won't fit completely or fit but are easy to dislodge, the original one fit fine for me but it wasn't really a dealbreaker for me since it doesn't bother me
I have a otter box case and I have to say I work on cars for a livin and its been dropped millions of times screen is still like New and the phone works fine. It's not a huge case its pretty slim its also had a full can of pop dumped on it to wit no damage done to the phone but that's just what I know about my case

I hate those gel/rubber cases because they make it so hard to get the phone in and out of your pocket. Just yesterday I reviewed Zagg's full body shield for the myTouch and I love it. It gave me great protection on my iPod Touch and now it's protecting my phone very well. It's not visible at all from a few feet away and it doesn't add any extra bulk to the phone. I highly recommend it.

I have gone through 2 sets of best skins ever, which are similar to zagg. I loved it too, only problem is it starts peeling up on the corners after a couple months. Ordered the credit card holding case this time around.
Forgot about this thread, I am loving this TPU fusion case! So for those of you who are considering it, I would highly recommend it. Very sleek, not bulky at all, very easy to take off, excellent grip, etc.

I have a T Mobile branded case that works really well.
It has a thin silicone skin and then a shell that goes on top of the skin and phone.
It is a bit bulkier now, but I've dropped my phone a number of times and I'm glad I had it on.

Both cases look pretty nifty, but I have the Otterbox Commuter case and it's simply amazing. You can find it here.
I've had the fusion for several months and it's still like new. Also no problems with being too grippy in my pocket.
I have both. I enjoy the look of the 2nd case, but the grips on the side are rough, so I don't like how it felt on my hands.
I'm currently using the first case because it's much smoother, and still gives a good grip. I don't really care for the argyle pattern.
They're both slim and gives about the same amount of protection.

I think the best case protection wise is the Trident case.. but it's kinda bulky pocket wise.. other than that best case hands down.
Thanks for the case suggestions guys

I've gone thru 2 tpu fusion cases and as good as they are I've recently turned to the MT4G commuter otterbox case and Ive got to say its pretty good.
I hate cases that make the phone bulky and I always thought the otterbox would, but its by far my favorite case now.

Let me first say I know that there are many different threads on this topic and if there is a few I should view please point me in the right direction as I am new to the forum.
The type of case I am looking for is ultimate protection bulk does not matter.
Things I am looking for are: a front hard screen protector like the otterbox defender and ballistic maxx
A kick stand would be great as I am doing more media
The 3 cases I am looking at are
Otterbox Defender I have heard great things about but I prefer the silicone on the inside, hard case on the outside I think that would offer more protection.
Ballistic Maxx Good looking product but no kickstand and I had one on my EVO and was not pleased with the quality but that was 2 years ago.
Seidio CONVERT I really like the protect level and kickstand but no hard screen cover.
Any other cases I should be looking at?
Any input would be much appreciated Thanks.
Trident Kraken.... But no hard screen cover. Comes with a soft replaceable one. Had a removable metal kick stand, different color cases, silicon on the inside plastic on the outside. Also you can order a few different attachments that connect to the back of the case hence the removable kickstand.

Capdase case is slim fit. Although it is not as good as the protection offered by the Ballistic case, but it is slim fit and with a free screen protector in it. Worth trying!!:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
I went with the ballistic maxx but there is no way I will use the provided screen protector. It creates a terrible sparkle effect and in my opinion wasn't even usable. I love the case though, it is easy to install/remove and protects the phone very well. The buttons are nice and the case doesn't get in the way of using the phone.
I bought a X-Gear Spectre glass screen protector and think it works well with this case. See my comments in that thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30096795&postcount=231
There are some small issues with this product but I still think it is the best currently available.

Im going to have to disagree. First lets not forget while inside the hard case your phone is also resting on some type foam cushioning that Otterbox adds inside its hard plastic. I also prefer the silicone on the outside of the case cause if you do drop your phone, your case wont get digged up. I have replaced cases cuz they gotten scuffed up after a while. Also when dropping a phone it makes such a harmless sounds when it lands on the silicone. You won't even flinch when the phone drops you'll just pick it back up and just keep on truckin along.

The kraken is one ugly case. That's not even opinion either. That's straight fact. Lol
I agree with The_Biz not only is it ugly but it lacks corner protection. So is the defender the only tough case with a kickstand?

I understand looks are a matter of opinion.
But how does it lack corner protection? There is big thick soft silicon on the corners... I have one and it's already survived a 7 foot drop and being kicked down a hall way.
And the defender's kickstand is the holster itself as where the kraken is a metal one attached to the case itself.... so with the defender you have to take the whole thing off your belt.

that video was not a real phone. It was a plastic or foam one. The few drops I've had every thing has stayed together.
But falling apart isn't a bad thing either, it's a way of dissipating the shock force.
The inner silicone layer is great protection as well.

I know when I had one for my Evo 3D there was a flap you had to open.
Let me know how the seidio case works out. I am not really concerned about screen protection in a case anyone as I plan on using the xgear spectre.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
The Seido Active is a nice case except for a couple things.
The volume buttons were a pain to press on mine (others say they don't have a problem).
The case has indentations on the sides that I thought would make it super grippy. But it's actually a little slippery.
The kickstand only works in landscape mode.
With that said, it's a great looking case that is easy to take off and put back on. And available for $27 shipped on eBay (as of last week).
Ok search narrows as I stated before I plan on using the xgear spectre screen protector.
Now just to figure out is the kraken the only heavy duty case with a kickstand?
I took a few second look at the kraken and it in fact has thicker corners than I previously thought. So definitely liking it more.

Can anyone recommend this case? I've been searching like mad for the perfect case to fit my requirements, and been having a hard time. I need a case:
Protects phone
Easily removable
Able to slip into/ carry in a side
Leather holster
Must have good grip!
I need good grip as I'm a mechanic
and dirty/greasy hands makes for
more potential dropping. The diztronic case appears to fit my needs, but would appreciate some feedback! Thanks!

I have the diztronic tpu case and i love it. It fits better than any other case i've used for this phone. Slips in and out easily. Doesn't add much to the thickness of the phone. Only recommendation - get it in black. I had it in clear and in smoke, both yellowed in a matter of weeks. I have a black one now and it is awesome! They're pretty cheap too, I got mine on amazon. Think it was like 10 bucks or something...
Sounds good..What about fitting into a side belt holster? Will the case meterial catch too much? I'd like to avoid having to fight getting the phone in and out. Thanks man! For 10 bucks I should prob just try it out lol..

The case doesn't add much thickness to the phone at all. You can get the case in matte back finish or glossy back finish. I've always gotten the matte finish, because it looks nice, slides easily, but still provides excellent grip. I've read reviews that the glossy finishes attract dust, and I would imagine the glossy finish one would get caught more easily in your belt holster. I would definitely recommend the matte back black case. I doubt you will be disappointed.
I can't post links because i'm still "new member" (i don't really post a lot), but if you search amazon for B005YEFM8M then you will see the case I am talking about. Currently going for $9.90.
Thanks for the info! I went ahead and ordered the matte black case. I'll come back here and review after I get it.

I have the clear one, and I like it but it has damaged my phone's frame. I think its because it doesn't fit 100% perfectly so dust accumulated in between the frame and the case, thus scratching the frame.
So just make sure you clean it often.

Yea, same thing happened to mine, but as long as you keep a case on it, you can't even tell.
Got the case today and here are my thoughts: Fit and finish is good. My biggest gripe is the sides. Its fairly easy to move the sides away from the phone, and this is especially noticed when pulling the phone out of the side holster. Not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of.
I was anticipating a bit more grip, but its not bad. For protection, I think it should do the job, although dropping the phone from chest height to concrete is something that concerns me. Hopefully I won't have to find out lol. I need a larger side holster as its a bit too tight, and retrieving the phone should be easier. I'll stick with this case for now, but still open to other options.
I still feel like I need just a tiny bit more bulk and grip, to be perfect.

be sure to periodically clean dust from its borders because I think it scuffs the phone otherwise
