I was tired of waiting for SGP to get their $^#& together and decided to get yet another case.
I got this Perforated Retro Sports Case from Fommy.com.
http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.asp?divid=Samsung&model=Samsung+Vibrant+T959&skuno=89299
I'm not sure what makes it "retro", but it is a nice looking case. It's a combination of hard plastic (the perforated area) and flexible plastic sides. It's thin - not like the Samsung mesh or Case Mate Barely There - thin, but probably a touch thinner than the average TPU case.
The case covers all sides, although you can still see a bit of the bezel. However, unlike a different case I tried, the amount that peeks out is consistent all around so it still looks nice.
Now, it's not without it's quirks - which may be deal breakers for some. First there are no cutouts for the speaker or the mic. The speaker is no big deal because the case is perforated - I didn't really notice much difference in volume of some music I tried. The mic, on the other hand, required a hammer and nail to deal with. It was pretty simple, though. I just lined up the hole from another case and then hammered a small nail through. It works just fine and I tested some calls with no reports of sound loss on the receiver's end.
The other "quirk" is that the cutouts on the top and sides are a little strange. The one on the volume side is really long and spans over the rocker keys and the strap-loop-hole. It's tapered well along the edges so it doesn't look bad or anything, just a little odd. The top opening also spans across both the jack and the usb port. This makes the bar along the top feel a little less solid than the rest of the flexible areas. I would have preferred they used two separate openings on top rather than one for the extra support. It's also cut rather close to the port, so if you are using a thick plug, you have to move the plastic up a bit. A little annoying, but at least you don't have to take the case off to plug it in like with some cases.
Things may change after a week of use, but my initial impression is positive. Overall, the case is very nice and is unique compared to the other stuff that's currently available. I do, however, think it's a bit pricey at $14.95+shipping (around $5 for super saver). But hey, money grows on trees.
Just ordered mine, From the looks of it, I think i will like this case better than the perforated plastic snap on case. This one looks like it offers full phone protection. tell me if the case would protect the phone in the event of a fall or drop. Rate its protection from a fall as either minimal, moderate, or maximum protection. I would appreciate your advice. Thanks
Since it covers all sides the protection is going to be better than the snap on. But its thin and pretty stiff so impact resistance is probably minimal to moderate at best, especially compared to silicone or TPU.

thanks for the review, but i would be worried about knowing from the get go that i would need to use a hammer and nails to get a plastic case to work.

Very true. I didn't try calls before making the hole so I'm not entirely sure it's necessary (although I imagine you would get a drop in sound quality with the hole covered).
I love this case. It is slim and perfectly follows the contours of the phone. The only thing that i didnt like was the hole missing over the microphone. But the texture and quality of the case is top notch. I have the mesh galaxy s back cover, the tpu grey argyle case, the body glove rubber case, the case mate tough case, and the carbon fiber samsung case. This one is the best of them all, I am very happy with this case
whoa, that looks like it'd be pretty ****in sweet if they made them 2 tone..

they also have pink and white if your into that just search Xmatrix Vibrant case. They are cheaper than OP's so i dont know if they are the same or not but they do look the same.
I ordered this case on Tuesday and it came today. I am very impressed and the quality is much better then I expected.
Did the one you got off Ebay come with the hole for the mic already cut? Looks in their photos like it's there already.
No i ordered it from fommy and I forgot about the missing mic hole lol.

I ordered the blue and black one from fommy on thursday and received it today. Mine has the mic hole already cut out. In my opinion it feels just a little bit loose and kinda cheep. I like the way it looks and is very slim so I'm gonna give it some time to see if it grows on me or if i want something else
The black case I received fits extremely well and is not loose at all.
Great Deal on this Case
I'm getting one from Handhelditems.com found here xmatrix case and it's 10.99 and $2.89 shipping, plus I used coupon code 30vibrantsamsung and got 3.30 (30%) off. Price out the door - $10.54. Helluvuh deal
Got the case today. It sucks.

Just got this in the mail. It covers all of my buttons (volume rocker, and power) and leaves everything lined up perfectly for the plugs. It fits like a glove, and it has a perfect silicone feel to it. I paid 7.95, and the shipping was very fast. From CA to MI, I got it in 4 days with no extra shipping charges.
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Silicone-So...se-Samsung-Epic-4G-Touch-Sprint-/190577624793
I would strongly recommend this case because it helps conserve your hardware buttons.
EDIT: I just realized the sale has ended, and I am sure people sell the same exact case. Just look around Ebay and Amazon.
Great alternative to the TPU cases everyone is talking about.

Yea I got one from ebay as well for..$5.95 I believe. It's not the best case but it fits like a glove and is raised above the screen and camera to prevent you from setting it down straight on them. It adds a little bit of width but truthfully this is just an In-between until the casemate barely there, and it's a cheap way to protect your phone until then!

the description says Anti Dust Silicone Material, do you get any lint/dust on the case? My last silicone case for the Evo4G is a dust magnet, it pretty much picks up all the pocket lint I've in my jeans.
thanks
Silicone can stretch, tear and become loose over time.
TPU does none of those and will always return to the original shape.

I honestly haven't had any problems, and I have had it in my pocket almost the entire day. No stretching, loose ends, I can't really verify it is anti-dust, because I have had the phone for a day lol. It feels great.
I'm glad I don't have to be paranoid of my phone all of the time now.

How would you know? You don't have the case?
I couldn't rip this case, unless I was literally trying to. And the case makes a "lip" over the screen, in case you want to set it on the table screen first. As far as stretching goes, I paid 8 dollars for an awesome case. If I need to replace it (2 years would be my guess), I will do so.
The great thing about Silicone, is that it looks clean and never gets scratches, looks cheap, and fits great on the phones.
Take my word for it or pay 24.99 at the Sprint store lol. The case didn't even cover the entire outside of my phone, and I broke the kickstands on it almost immediately. Complete garbage.

Not a very good case... long term
In my experience, silicone cases are a temporary fix at best. I have bought several and always end up replacing them within a few weeks. But for the price, it's probably not a bad temp case until you find the best one for your needs. I ordered a TPU case for $9 and hope to get it today as I just got my phone from letstalk yesterday.

love mine feels like a rearth. dont think it will stretch feels great in the pocket. doesnt stick like others i have had with other phones. but feels great in the hand im in hot weather so i have sweaty hands from time to time. so the tpu get kinds slippery. this gel i like a lot. recommend def till you find what you like a hard case. or like me a case with a kickstand. and i found it for like 5 dollars on ebay or amazon.
remember now its from the accessory geeks on ebay.
Received my Trident Aegis case today. Went with the bright green (which I so far prefer to the darker green which they previously used, I had a Cyclops case in this color on my HTC Glacier.)
One gripe is, so far, the open space surrounding the camera on the back of the case. This is an odd decision. Not a big deal to me, though; but still worth mentioning.
The biggest gripe, though, is that the phone is not at all easy to actually get into the case. I'm not saying that it doesn't fit. The problem is that you first place the phone into the colored, gel surrounding piece. You then have to fit these piece (and its protruding buttons) into the very hard and rigid black/grey plastic piece. It's kind of hard to do this since the gel-covered buttons have to fit into the holes on the device, and I ended up hitting the power button over and over again, and botting into recovery because one of the volume rockers was held down.
My Cyclops case, for the Glacier, was designed in the opposite way. The phone first fit into two hard pieces (a front and back piece, basically), and then a black rubber surrounding piece went around the plastic itself. This was really easy to take the phone out of and place it back within.
I know people will ask...I'd say the phone doesn't add too much in the way of size to the already very large S-II, but the only comparison I have is the D30. I do not have the Incipio or Seideio cases to compare.
My aegis case for my vibrant was the same. Its how they all are in terms of getting it on. Waiting for mine to get for the sgs2

my main concern is how well it protects but a close second on how hard it is to get out of the pocket. if im going to spend to cash to get something that would work well i want it to be what i want. any opinions?
So overall how do you feel about the case?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I'd say pocket fitment is mostly contingent upon the pocket. I have been putting the SII + Trident case in the front pocket of shirts and it only sticks out a small bit. It fits in my jeans pockets, but I wear my jeans a bit baggy. It won't fit in the pockets of my dressier slacks. So, I find it easy to get out of most pockets. My Glacier + Trident was actually probably a bit more difficult due to the ribbed silicone surround. The case for the S II doesn't have much to snag on. Keep in mind though, that the Glacier + Case was a lot thicker, front screen to back battery cover, than the S II is. This definitely had something to do with it as well.
Overall I am pleased with the case. I like the color options, shape, and structural design of the case. While I did find the previous "Cyclops" style case that I had for my Glacier to be easier to take off and on, this new case seems, at least at first glance, to provide equal or better protection while also being easier to fit in pockets.
One footnote: I'm using this case along with a Zagg wet application invisible shield and I'm not having any issues with the corners peeling.
What did you pay? Looks sick.

Same question I had, it says on product page that it includes a "Re-Applicable Screen Protector".
BTW, coupon code "holiday2011" gives you a nice $7 off!
does the screen protector look to be of good quality?
I also noticed that the plastic doesn't hold/secure the rubber on the bottom of the phone, is it easy for the bottom corners to come off say when you're putting it in or pulling it out of your pockets?
Thanks!

The screen protector does look cheap. I'm not using it so I didn't really pay much attention to it. The hard case does not wrap around the bottom, so it is just the gel casing. But I haven't had any issues with the case coming off when putting the phone in my pocket
I really wish otter would make a defender case for this phone! I loved it on my iPhone

I paid $22 with free shipping using the promo code holiday2011.
And yes, I got it from the tridenteer site.
i just ordered one... ill compare and take pictures comparing it to my incipio silicrylic case when i get the trident
I put the screen protector on. Used a wet install. Looks great so far. Smooth feel and very clear. It is dark outside right now, so I will report back tomorrow during the day. Looks really good in the house. Just a few air bubbles settling. I can tell they will go away though.
Screen protector is great. Really clear in light and dark. I'm sure there's better quality out there but for free its great. Also I have the green case. Get compliments like crazy about this case. Very high quality and looks pretty sick. Great protection. Great looks. Great case.
FYI the Incipio case has the slight gap around the camera as well.
The only issue I have seen, been using the case about a week, is the flap that covers the charging port doesn't want to stay closed. It doesn't hang down enough to cause problems really but isn't a tight fit and would def let dust in. Other than this small issue the case works great.
I currently have the TPU Black Matte and it is quite a good case,... good fit, but not so much when it comes to protection. Has anyone seen either the Acase or an Aegis case for our phone about? Every time I do a search, I get fed non-Spint Galaxy SII Options or cases for the original slider Epic 4G. Any other options I should be looking at? Kinda given up on Otterbox after all the fitment complaints I've read about and my experience with the Evo 4G.
Just got the Aegis case from this site:
http://www.cyclopscase.com/epic-4g-touch/
Used Code TOM25% to get 25% off so with free shipping it was a little over $18. Love the case especially for the price! If you decide you like them check what color you want first on tridents website because they still dont have pictures on cyclopscase website.

The Aegis case has been out for a couple months now. I got it when it was first released and I still love it. I don't use it that much anymore because I prefer something slimmer, but when I'm on the job that's my go to case.

Thanks for the link beseen, just ordered one. The coupon code was still active, so saving a little over 11 bucks on the $30 price tag Trident has on their website. Free shipping just means I'll get it sometimes in Juvember. That's cool though, I'll just keep rolling with the TPU until it gets here. If this Aegis is as well built and thought out as the Evo 3D Aegis, I'll be satisfied. I'll still wonder about the Acase, it's gotten nice reviews too.
How responsive is the volume rocker and sleep button?

Yeah, I'm figuring about a week too. You know, the volume rocker design is the only I have with the TPU. I mean if you want slim and your mission is to protect beauty, there ain't a better case in my opinion. They fit like a glove, easy battery changes if needed, very easy on adding weight and girth, and won't scratch the E4GT from within. What more can you ask,... oh yeah, price! But I'm looking to protection more than just a pretty face when it comes to this phone. And I'm done with Otterbox. I mean they stand behind their products like a champ,... but what's the utility in getting a replacement case that's bringing to the table the same issues the original case brought. Oh well,... the deed is done. I'll be rocking Aegis in a couple days. And I'm happy,... I think! Plus I read somewhere that Otterbox has decided to not even touch the E4GT.

You mean your car hook up has a Mini USB jack that connect to your phone, and you wanna to know if the case's USB port opening is large enough so that it doesn't impede the connection between your car's cable and the phone's Mini USB port. Right?
The TPU case may offer more protection than you are imagining...
(your imagination I hope is where this belief comes from - let us know if your TPU case has been put to the drop test and the results!)
The TPU material seems like one of the best compromises for impact protection - hard enough that it wouldn't just mush away from an impact, but soft enough that it could absorb impact shock without transferring it all directly to the phone.
On a hard impact, a slightly flexible material will deform and absorb the shock, protecting your phone from damage - like "crumple zones" on your car. Best the car deform and absorb the shock and save your life than be rigid, transfer the shock of impact to you and damage YOU.
In the case of a phone case, if I dropped my phone hard enough to damage my TPU case, I'd be glad the phone was OK and glad it only costs me $6 to replace my case.
Most of those tough-box cases make your phone huge and are just thicker and harder plastic that make the case more likely to survive a drop. Haven't EVER seen drop test results or comparisons, but there's no getting away from physics.
Bear in mind also, on a related note, this phone is very light, so on a drop there isn't as much momentum. There was a "drop test comparison" video on youtube of the Epic Touch 4G vs iPhone 4, and with no protection at all, numerous drops, the ET4G came away relatively undamaged.
Found it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6zlXBTREcE
If anything, check out this case:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL7PIjZbLY8
Note at the end when he takes the phone out of the case, it's a very similar material, if not also TPU, with thicker corners.
IMHO though, unless you are looking to have your phone survive a drop off a moving motorcycle or similar, you are probably fine with the TPU case.

No i mean the AUX cable. Like headphone cables you would insert in the headphone jack. Sorry should have been clearer. So just pretend it's a thick headphone wire. Will that fit?
You know what geolemon you're right. The TPU is a tuff case. Didn't mean to imply that it offers little to no protection. Far from it. I've dropped my phone once or twice getting in-n-out of the car, and no harm at all. The TPU just dusted off it's shoulders and kept on thumpin'. No sweat! But I think I need something just a little more robust, just in case I go beyond a 3 foot drop-n-roll with the phone. The big cases, like the Defender and the Kraken and also the new Kraken AMS, are a little overkill for me though. I guess the sweet spot for me is the Commuter/Aegis/Superlaggera range of cases. Would have snapped that one up in a heart beat if any were left at Amazon. Can't find them anywhere else either.

Ohhhh,... I understand what you mean now. Sorry. Based on seeing the Aegis on a Evo 3D, yeah,... on the Aegis case seems to have a very flexible 3.5 opening. Once you pull the protective plug up and out of the way, there's a good bit of room for a jack with a wide belt size I'd think. Well at least on the Evo 3D Aegis. They've also made it so jacks with a 90 degree angle fits in pretty easily too. No worries with the Otterbox,... since they've chosen not to make a case for this phone. The TPU looks like it would have little problem accommodating a variety of 3.5 jacks too! However, this thread is about the Acase Superleggera for the E4GT, which I haven't seen yet. For this phone, I only have full experience with the TPU and partial with the Aegis (my brother has a Evo 3D dressed in an Aegis). Sorry if I couldn't be more helpful.

Hold the phone there locoboi,... I'm not actually an Aegis E4GT user,... yet. My E4GT is still dressed in a TPU. I'm waiting on my Aegis to arrive from CyclopsCase.com as we speak. Tracking says Wednesday of this week. Now my brother has the Aegis on his Evo 3D, and my comments were based on my observations of his phone. Should be safe though, usually there's not a lot of change in case model features between phone to phone,... some, but not a lot. An Aegis is an Aegis in most cases.

I tried 2 gel cases the mini suit and amzers both found on Amazon.com
The mini suit doesn't have a gel feel, and lacks protection. Here's the link for mini suit..

Amzers case has a very jelly feel, and is also much thicker. The price is well worth the extra grip and protection. Which is my favorite thing about the case. It helps you grip the enormous 10in display comfortably without fear of slippage.

All in all if you want the cheapest case you can get to prevent back scratches go with mini suit. If you actually want a grippy protective gel case go with the Amzer. Both cases come in many colors, and at only $20 for the amzer, and $10 for the mini suit($5 shipping included) they are both a steal!
Please remember to thank post if you found it helpful!
Been thinking about getting amzer case, but have read a few reviews that say the silicon doesn't sit flush with the tablet. And that's, my one concern, tell us about it in y your opinion, and photos would be great thanks

By flush you are referring to the way the speakers/headphone input are or aren't exposed?
Theway the rubber sits on the device or are there gaps on the bezel or around ports and or soeaker grills

Hey man, So I was about to post pics for you but my phone kinda crapped out. Sent it into samsung so it should be back in the next 2 weeks. I will try to borrow my GF's GS3 to take some pictures later.. Unfortunately I am using a basic Huawei Android ATT Go phone in the mean time. No flash ****ty 3MP camera wouldn't really show you what you want to see.
I will be honest though, my thoughts about the amzer case where exactly that it was an amazingly snug and good fit. All the speakers/mics/camera/everything is all flush.
I have the amzer. It is thick and heavy. Loads of protection though. It covers all the silver except for speaker grills. There is a YouTube clip I think.
The amzer is definitely thick and good on protection.
Good
agreed

I have the Amzer and it is OK, I use it for work because it is indestructable. Loose fitting but has all the right holes. I wish it has a solid back plate and was a bit snug.

Since it is silicon, have any of you found it to be a dust attractor? I've had that issue with nearly every silicon case I've tried.
Not a real dust attractor

Im not sure if your aware of the newer types of polymers used for gel cases nowadays. They are more dust resistent. In short I dont have a huge dust issue when using the amzer gel case. It stays fairly clean and if it attracts an occasional cat or dog hair theyre not statically glued to the case! Hope this helps!
I have the mini suit and it's great. Fits snugly and all the holes match up. I have a handmade leather case for my note and the mini suit is good to use when I'm walking around with it.
