Hi everyone,
I saw a case for the Iphone 3gs called skech.
It is very smooth and beautiful and i'm looking for somthing similiar for the Vibrant.
On their site: skechit, they have several products and they are all made of polycarbonate. I'm not sure which one I saw
Anyone has any suggestions for cases from that material?
Does every case that is made from that material will have the same feel?
thanks alot!
I got a TPU case from daydeal.com. It completely encases the phone. Its like hard rubber, but its smooth enough to get in and out of my pocket. You might like it

The Sketch is just a 2pc slide-on case. There are some available for the Vibrant, but I haven't searched for them recently.

I've been searching every couple days since the phone was released only to find the shields, glare protectors, and skins... Finally they have the low cost cases that many users have come to love...
Judging by the looks on some, I'm not saying they are grade A, but having bought some for past phones, they are comparable to some of the $30 cases sold at some retailers
Example: cgi.ebay.com/Red-Hard-Snap-Case-Samsung-Captivate-AT-T-/270618346984?pt=PDA_Accessories {Sorry can't post links}
This is the same case (and seller) I have except mine is black. It looks, works, and feels great... Though it is a little hard to take off once it's on.

whats that case material called thats like not the rubbery silicone, but not a hard case? Its like a soft plastic that doesn't have a rubber texture.

if the material you're describing is what I'm imagining (and as counter-intuitive as it sounds) it's rubberized crystal cases. (like the one in the first link)
it doesn't feel "rubbery", it feels smooth and soft-textured. nothing at all like the rubber you'd find on a shoe or tire.

I believe you are thinking of TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethanes)? It's generally a material that is flexible but very smooth, and usually translucent.
Unfortunately I don't think there are any TPU cases yet for Captivate, but I think they are coming (they have them for the standard Galaxy S / Vibrant), but that's what I am waiting for as well.

Per Wikipedia, they have several trade names (but seems mostly from Pharma)
ELASTOLLAN (BASF & Elastogran)
PEARLTHANE (Merquinsa)
DESMOPAN (Bayer)
PELLETHANE (Dow Chemical) Sold to Lubrizol.
ESTANE (Lubrizol)
IROGRAN (Huntsman)
But in terms of cases, the only trade name I know of is that I believe Amzer calls their line of TPU cases "Luxe." Other places usually refer to the cases either as TPU or "Flexi Skin."
I'm personally waiting on the "Luxe" line from Amzer to be released at the end of the month for the Captivate.

I got the black version of this case and I'd say it's by far more attractive and more protective than the overpriced crap they have at the AT&T store.
I attached some pictures. Yeah, I rigged up a cradle for the phone out of some large zip-ties, and I must say, it works great. Don't be dissin'!
Yep, that's exactly the same one I have. The one thing I would say to notice about this is, that without a screen protector, and if you keep it in your pocket... this case just seems to be a "force dirt to collect in certain places" device. (Keep it in your pocket for a day or two and then take it off and see how much dirt is chilling out under your case)

Thats the one I want as well. Mainly cuz its got some cushion like the silicone ones but doesn't stick in your pocket like the silicone ones...
Only problem I have with it is the pattern on it. Its a nice pattern, but coming from the world of bberry, its been done and over done. I feel it might look a little busy with the translucency/being able to see all the original case detail under it.
any private messages with links to a case would be much appreciated. My captivate is due to touchdown on Monday.
Amzer Luxe style gel cases are available now at fommy dot com.
I originally owned the Body Glove, but was somewhat disappointed while testing GPS fixes to learn that it actually reduced GPS reception. I'm hoping the translucent/non-black Luxe will fit the bill.

Is there another place I can get the hard snap on cases other than ebay? Keep trying to catch them with some in stock at the store and they never have them...and I'm sure they are like $30 there...
Hello fellow XDAers! I've had my Vibrant for almost 2 weeks so I figured its about time I get a case to protect my phone. Question is there are a lot of choices out there so I wanted to poll y'all and see what material you prefer your cases to be made of and why. What differences would make you prefer A over B?
To my knowledge the main ones I see are; plastic, rubber, polycarbonate, silicon, and TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane).
And yes, I've already looked through google and wiki but nothing beats user feedback! Thanks all!
Most seem to like TPU.

indeed. tpu is the ****. under four dollars shipped on ebay for a smoked grey tpu case with a neat hexagonal pattern on the back?
you cant beat that!
if i could get one of those "silk touch" silicone cases for cheap i might change my mind, but they're pretty expensive and i'm not willing to buy something like that without seeing and feeling it first.
I generally like to have multiple cases for my phones. I have bought a couple of cases already without having the phone and would like to know which one you guys think is the best. These are the cases I have bought:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/37056726677...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_4251wt_1219

I havent heard many good things about the popcase that it may not provide enough protection. It looks cool though. I have the toughcase but its a dust magnet for starters and the silicone also gets in the way of my screen protector (zagg) at the corners. I have a diztronic tpu case and i like the fit of it better and its thin enough to not be too noticeable. So far i like it best but im still waiting for something better....like otterbox?
Yes, I can not wait for the otterbox. I also found a case for other phones called Sillicrylic (I think thats how you spell it) and that looks like an awesome case!
i think nude is better!
Hi, before I get my SGN i had a Desire HD with PoP case !
And I was very satisfied with it
Thank you, I just noticed that one of the ebay links is actually 7 cases, which is awesome so I can switch it out. I will let you guys know which one is best when I get them.

I have this one, and for £1.89 I think it is pretty fantastic. Looks and feels great!
Nay to all of the above
Why hide the Google design. If you look at the use of the phone, the corners are the most hit, so a bumper design is the best. the cases in this post like others I've found are thick and bulky for no real benefit.
iPhone is the best example of what we need.
"Can't paste the link as I'm too new but refer to Ebay "iPhone 4S bumper"
We need to push this design before making out pockets bulk up...

I would like to keep my phone without a case but the fear of dropping or body wear would get under my skin.

I have a case obsession as well and have many for the Gnex. My latest is the otterbox commuter, which I really love - though its noteworthy that many people do not like this case. A good one as well is the Trident Agesis - I am waiting for this one to be release at the end of Feb.

This case looks excellent. I'll be keeping watch on their blog from here on out to see when I can pre-order.
I had one on my s2. First week it was fantastic..
After that, garbage. The lining portion they provide stretches and causes a gap in between the back of the phone and the lining. Got pretty annoyed with it and threw it away.

They have updated it.
So what's different? In previous versions a silicone cover was used. However, we've updated the series is a new TPU material. This new material is still as soft and dust-resistant, but with added durability and protection. Perhaps the best update on the new Neo Hybrid for the Galaxy S3 is that there is absolutely NO sagging or expanding of the TPU cover due to heat from device.Great news to all Neo Hybrid fans out there!

It ses the harder material sits on the phone, while the softer TPU material is on the outside. Seems like that is scratches just waiting to happen. Now reverse that so that TPU inside, hard shell outside, and add an optional belt clip and I'll take 2!!!

Did you read the website?
The Galaxy S3 Neo Hybrid Case Series will be the same dual concept as the Galaxy S2 and iPhone. The case features a TPU cover with a hard polycarbonate frame. The TPU material protects the phone by absorbing shock from any accidental drops. The hard plastic frame protect the phone from scratches and scuffs. Having both the advantages of a hard and soft case makes the Neo Hybrid an all-around protective solution.

The frame (outside) is PC (hard). The cover, TPU, absorbs the shock.
Your phone wont be getting scratches with this case.
Bummer... the TPU is blue only the border of the hard case is white.
I've never clicked on their blog, and but they have really good stuff. Nano Clear Giveaway?? eek!

Has anyone had this case on the Nexus or other phone? Are they high-quality cases? (They appear to be pretty darn good.)
I like how there still appears to be lots of room around the home button for my fat thumb! Many other cases seem to have a lower lip that protrudes close to the home button...
Thanks!

i totally agree with you! The neo hybrid was one of my original choices as my daily case but the mid frame plastic seems too flimsy to me. How do the buttons feel on your slim armor, click-y, or flat like some TPU cases?
