I had a completely terrible experience with this company. I was told a product was available early, so I ordered it that day and it took them 3 weeks to ship it still. I finally get my product, and I failed to actually read the description (probably my own fault) and its a clear snap on case. The picture makes it look like its a white snap on case (the coolest one Ive ever seen). So I call them, and their customer service person and I argued about how the case appears exactly as it would on the phone.

Like I said, Its kind of my fault. I tried to tell her the picture was very misleading and she was very rude. They took forever and a day to ship my product and some of their other things are overpriced. So, just letting you all know, I had a terrible experience. Buyer Beware
I just bought the same exact thing from them for my Captivate and I like it . It slides easily in and out of the pocket and it allows you to see the carbon fiber back still and logo for Galaxy s which is cool . I would say yea that the image needs updating but all in all I personally like the way it looks . Just my 2 cents
I agree its a good case, but Im not much for the clear cases... So as far as my experience as a whole, terrible. Product- good, but not my type.
The biggest thing for me is that I was told it was available august 12th but it wasnt shipped until sept 3rd.
it's obviously waaaay thicker than what the pic leads me to believe. color aside, that thing is a monstrosity.
Keep in mind, I didnt have the front faceplate on., so it probably looks bigger than it is. I just took a quick pic because I sat there for 10 or 15 minutes with this lady on the phone arguing that their picture wasnt an accurate depiction.
That's retarded...the picture is clearly white and the real thing is clearly clear lol.

According to her, it looks exactly as it would on the phone. She apologized that if I thought it had a smoky haze it was just a misconception. I was just mad I had to argue with her over it...
Deleted because I was wrong.
It turns out the product picture in the OP is that of the Azmer Clear Snap On Crystal Hard Case - which is described as having a color of "Clear"
http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Clear-Snap-On-Crystal-Hard-Case-P88843.htm
Yeah, I realized after I got it that the description says clear... I ordered this when it was only on 1 or 2 sites. But I was looking through pictures of cases on google shopping to find one i liked, and I saw this picture... Didnt even bother to read because it looked awesome.
I think the problem is that the "picture" is not a photograph but an artist rendering. This rendering shows what parts are covered and what are not; it clearly does not show any cutouts for side buttons - this should be visible in either the front or back image.
They took a picture of the phone and shaded around it with an opaque image to show how the case would cover. The case is bigger then pictured, and has a completely different level of transparency. I see no disclaimer that this is an artists renderring.
This is misleading and i would dispute with your credit card company or paypal.

Hello commander2k , I would like first like to apologize for image representation of the case on our store. I will be sure to place a disclaimer in there about the image being a simulation. We are still in the process of get proprietary images of the cases on the phones. Please pm your order number I would like to refund your entire order and ship you out a free Zagg screen for your troubles. Or if youd like anything else please let me know .
Again I do apologize for any trouble this may have caused
Regards

So Just to bump this I PMed ^that guy^ over a week ago with my order number and still no reply. So still not looking like a fantastic company.
Strange how they showed up lol. I have been thinking of getting a clear case. Just so i could paint the inside of it. Use some krylon plastic paint and it should look killer. Just not sure how tight the cases are so it doesnt rub the paint off. But tons of possibilities if the paint does hold up well. Could make for some amazing custom cases.

That may be a good idea... If I knew how to draw with anything other than crayons I would give it a shot lol. And ive seen this company pop up in lots of other forums, always in the form of their own company, not faking good reviews or anything. theyre really trying to get some good publicity and give good customer service. He PMed me and is going to send me a free case of my choice, seems legit. Im starting to change my mind about the company, although I did have to jump through hoops in the first place.

Some of you might already know about this, but I just read an article that talks about a set of macro/wide lens that's compatible with the Evo. From the picutrestaken with it, it looks pretty terrific.
Sample shots here: http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/06/review-magnetic-macro-lens-for-htc-evo-4g.html

Please do. I'd like to see what kind of photos can be taken with that wide angle lens, even if I have to hold it up while taking the shot.
i'm interested to see how your dealings with dealextreme go. i've never even heard of them
They are good but shipping usually takes 3 weeks. I have a jewelers eyepiece that does the same thing as these macro lenses. The one I have is only 1.5x you can buy then at 10x and more. You can buy them for a penny on ebay:

Dang, that sucks to hear. I was hoping it would be a strong enough magnet to stay at least somewhat firmly attached. I guess you can't expect too much for something that wasn't specifically designed for the Evo.
In any case, it's cool though!
Pictures look fantastic. If anyone gets this let me know how it goes I am so close to pulling the trigger its only ten bucks....
yeah, i went ahead and bought it last night too. i figured 10 bucks...no big whoop. i've thrown away that much just in old produce last week, lol

Quite simply is there a reason not to love their weird selection of products. I've bought so much stuff from them that I have NEVER been able to find anywhere else. I think this company is great.
Looks like fun!
I placed my order, not to worried if they dont stick on there perfectly, they are fairly cheap, do the eyeglass pieces stick to the Evo as well or were those pics taken while holding it in place?
Did anyone find the red macro lens that was in the pictures from engadget?
so, has anyone received one that they've ordered yet? mine says it is 'in packaging'....lord only knows how long that is going to take...
Timothy. I have been a client of them for more than 2 years. No one will receive theirs until 2 weeks or more.

I went and got a walmart money card to get these things but paypal isnt liking it so i guess ill just have to wait til my new check card comes in the mail to order. Hoping i get as good of shots that engadget showed.

expect to wait a bit, that's why shipping is free and it's so cheap. probably 1.5-2 weeks, as that's what happened when i bought a cheap fling monkey scream toy from them last year. that being said, at this price it's still pretty sweet.
on a side note, can anyone recommend any of the ones from that first amazon link? i'd prefer to have it shipped quicker and pay for higher quality if it's reasonable. thanks in advance!

All I did was put the camera right over top of the jewelers lens. The macro shots are more of a novelty for a camera phone. I've always known about this and maybe tried it out 3 times tops on cell phones. Like I said you can buy the jewelers lenses for a penny on ebay, and they are much higher quality and you can pick the magnification.
Theres a product called jelly lens that does the same thing as this except it uses like silly putty or something around the ring to stick instead of using a magnetic ring

Meh, I ordered two for under $5. Unless they scam my card I have nothing to lose. Got an extra incase I jack up putting the first one on and if not I'm sure I can trade it for something later.
I order two myself. figured I would keep a spare on hand and 5 bucks you cant complain. Usually around 15 bucks a piece. These look like they are the same material as the invisishield kind.
Not the same as invisibleshield. Just got mine in the other day for my iPhone4 and you get what you pay for. It's like any other screen protector you get but it's only 3 bucks you loss. Mehh
I personally like it. The feel is nice, it doesn't interfere with the quality of the SAMOLED screen, and it helps level out the front of the phone.
My only problem is I derped up the install and got something undernearth the front in two places.
I did have the issue that they weren't cut all the way through... making a little starter cut with my xacto blade and peeling the outer edges away completely helped. The inner cut-outs (speaker, camera and earpiece) all came out easily. Used some lightly soapy water on my fingers and on the adhesive side and it went right on, slid it into place.
Got mine in the mail today. Worst screen protector I have ever purchased. They were not cut well from the rest of the plastic sheet and were a pain to take off and unlike the person above the little pieces (camera, speaker) were a pain in the ass to cut out. I also did not like the feel at all (very rubbery, not smooth at all), and visually they were a complete catastrophe.
I cant remember what I got for my Moto Droid a few months back, but I'm going to have to look it up because THAT was a fantastic SP and actually felt better than the bare glass.
Anyway, I'm glad it was only 5 bucks cause they went straight to the garbage after 5 mins on my phone. Total garbage.
Not sounding good, hopefully I get a couple that wernt made by the guy that rode the short bus to work that day. We'll see, still waiting.
I dont plan on using the screen protector. I have realook one on now. More of just for the body part. As for the look, you are suppose to wait about 3-5 days and it usually clears up.
yea, i just ordered one a while back and just got it! I was soo not gonna replace my invisible shield with this **** .. I put it on my friends Samsung Moment! We put that bad boy to the test .
All in all . the Protector protected to phone from my friends Alabama Slammer .
Hey JimmyKimChee, could ya possibly post a bigger picture? That last one showing the phone hacked up is too small!

Seriously dude, it's a wet-install screen protector. You have to leave those on the phone for more than 5 minutes for it to dry and seal. It takes 3-5 hours to dry and seal completely, believe me, it would've looked really nice if you did.
The back, on the other hand....
But I think that's more my fault because I got impatient, like you, ripped it off and threw it away. Then I got it out of the trash, cleaned it off, and re-applied it. Looks not so great on the back, but it works perfectly.
I had something like this on my G1 -- looked pretty good in the beginning but the corners quickly started to peel and pick up all sorts of crap. Kept the screen piece on though, it was flawless other than the time I put my GF's G1 in my pocket next to mine, and the little loudspeaker bump put a nice divot in my protector.
But, if this one is as rubbery as my last.. Not going to put it on the Vibrant, other than a worst case (considering I've got 5 TPUs and an SGS in the house and just two Vibrants, I'm not sure why I even ordered these films anyway. Couldn't say no to "almost-free," I guess )
this japanese site has the best quality accessories for Xperia in general
i have recently ordered this bumper for my Arc and i am pleased with it. looks sleek,sexy,unique and i have gotten great compliments when people saw it. also it has a high quality feel to its hold. it comes in 6 colors
the price is high but try working your charm with the sellers.
note 1) i have no bonds with the sellers so dont ask me for help
note 2) if you order , go easy on the screws and no need for muscles or else you will mess up the screws and have to customize your own or order them from the ebay seller for 10 dollars
this bumper keeps the back and front revealed and maintains the curve of the arc.
whether you think its nice or ugly, believe me you would rather put this on the phone than seeing scratches and chips on your phone.
im only giving my opinion and everyone has their own
here are some pics for my order

i respect your opinion but,
some people drop their phones many times during the day; in a few weeks the phone will look ridiculous with all the scratches and maybe even cracks which will make a person hate their phone and cant afford to change.
so this would be sleek in a way for the protection you get.
it does add a little more weight and a little width only on the edgesbut still i get a decent grip on it.
the otter box is not that attractive(people just got used to seeing them) and it adds so much weight and bulkyness to phones, yet most iphone users use them for protection.
i know it will not be sold here locally
if i can see it and try it on my unit ill probably take the black one
silver arc and silver bumper makes it more bigger

I just have a normal rubberised case and 2 screen protectors on and that works perfectly fine, and my case only adds a few millimetres not a few centimetres
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
looks wicked....
ouch...the price....
This seems a little excessive, although no doubt will make the phone pretty much indestructible.
But.......how many people here bought the Arc because of how it looks? I did - I would have gone for another HTC (way back from the wizard - that long!) if I wanted best performance etc.
This just completely destroys the look of the phone IMO

My only issue so far. The sharp edge on case bezel lifts the screen protector.
*UPDATE 1*
I received my Zagg Case Friendly screen protector. It works perfect with the Magpul case. It's also the HD film and it's really smooth to the touch... Unlike the original Zagg film. I definitely recommend this to anyone buying the Magpul cases when they become available.
*UPDATE 2*
I received my first wireless charger yesterday and it works perfectly with this case. The charger is the powerbot on Amazon. And charges pretty fast.
OMG!! Cant wait to get my hands on this case, nice pics btw.
Where did you get it?
Where did you pick up those cases? I called magpul direct as soon as they made the announcement on their FB page 2 weeks ago and they said that they were "shipping to distributors." So far I haven't been able to find anyone that has them listed for sale.
I want one of these very, very bad. In fact I have called magpul monthly since November when I got my Nexus 5 bugging them to make a case. And now they have!!!
Just gotta figure out a way to get my hands on one now...
I ordered them direct from magpul. They normally don't sell direct, but I chatted with the lady on the phone for a few and she let me order them. But, they do in fact have them. So, it shouldn't be long until they show up at dealers.
are there more colors available? looks awesome :victory:
Thanks for posting those pics! I have used Magpul in the past and they are indeed great cases.
I have a couple of questions if you don't mind.
1. Does wireless charging work with this case? I assume it does but just want to make sure.
2. Do you have any dealer names to keep on the lookout for the case availability? I know Amazon sells them but not sure about any others.
Thanks.
According to their email the other week, they should have all the normal colors they make for the iPhone.
I don't have a wireless charger, so I'm not sure on that part. I can't use one one either way, because I have a Scosche Magic mount plate between phone and case.
I have no leads on dealers as of yet. I was told they are being shipped, but not to whom.
How are the buttons? Easily pressed or rigid like most other TPU cases?

The power button has a noticeable clicky feel to it. I do find that you have to press the lower part of the button to get a consistent press, because the one raised rib goes around the edge and is the same height as the button.
The volume rocker doesn't have any clicky feel to it. Because of this, it's kind of hard to tell that there's an action unless you are looking at the screen.
Those things I can live with. I've already gotten used hitting the lower part of the power button and I don't use the volume button very much. I also ordered a Zagg case friendly screen protector to hopefully eliminate the lifting issue. Will, report back once I've installed.

Magpul told me that the first distributors that they shipped to are Midway and Brownells. Been checking at those sites several times a day with no luck so far though...
I was a little sketchy about these based on the CAD image, but these came out AWESOME. I would definitely rock one.
I really want this case. Soon as I can find it...(I didn't see it on amazon when I searched the site on my N5).
BTW, thank you so much, Rubicon, for taking the time to share this case with us.

I kind of feel bad guys...kind of. I guess I got lucky when I called last week. Like I said, they usually don't sell direct. That's why I didn't tell everyone to call Magpul asking to order.
On a side note the case has been great. It has a strange feeling to it. Rigid, but still soft textured. Can't wait to get my case friendly screen protectors tomorrow to fix the bubbles.

I'm probably only gonna use the FDE case, since I'm partial to the color.
If someone want's a black one bad enough...
I'll sell the black one for $40 lol
Definitly keeping an eye on this thread. This is one of the things I've been jealous of iPhone users about.
I have the official Nexus 5 bumper case, and for the most part, I like it. I like its inconspicuous profile, I like how the cutouts are exactly right, and (call me crazy) I like how it says "Nexus" on the back.
Problem is, this case is defective. It has an issue where it has a bunch of bubbles on the back. This appeared starting about 3 months after I got it, and since I didn't buy it from the Google Play Store (I got it from Amazon, and not a marketplace seller), Google says I have no warranty, even though the people I talked to acknowledged that my case is defective.
I ended up popping the bubbles because it made my phone so awkward to hold, but it looks terrible now. Given all this, can anyone recommend a good replacement case for me? I will say upfront that I hate those cases that make it obvious that your phone has a case on it. I also don't want anything bulky.
All I got is the otter box... And I want something different. Like a wallet case.

I also spent tons of time deciding on what type of case i wanted to fit on to my nexus 5, but eventually i had the idea to go to amazon and browse cases of low price. I did this not only to avoid spending a lot, (although I gladly would have so done for a quality case to protect my phone) but I did it because big name manufacturers often overprice their accessories simply because they can.
I ended up ordering 8 cases for around 20 dollars, all of which are pretty good. My two favorite would easily have to be my Tudia Wav Hybrid, which I wouldn't recommend if you don't want a "bulky case" although I had the same approach as you, but found a very nice compromise in this case because it adds amazing protection and not too much bulk. My other favorite is the DHSHOP blue sline case which is very minimal but pretty cool looking. Kind of slippery at times though. Regardless, if you look on Amazon you can find a very nice case fitting your description for under 15, 10, or even around 1 dollar believe it or not

If you're looking for style rather than protection, I'd check out http://www.goheadcase.com/ - They are plastic but if you're like me and don't ever drop your phone (granted I did drop it out of my lap getting out of a car and it fell on concrete and not as single scratch or mark on both my phone and case), then definitely check these out. Tons of options.
The Magpul Field case is hands down my favorite case, and I've owned a ton.

This is one of my favorite cases. http://www.ebay.com/itm/26143741404...49&var=560322325499&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I have the Tech-21 Case (smoke color). Its really nice and low profile but still has a lot of protection especially from a side impact and most drops. Only downfall is its slightly expensive at 30 bucks, but I bought mine at T-Mo for 1/2 off and am absolutely in love with it
I have a Spigen case. Love it!
