Gizmo Dorks Rubberized Case Cover

Found this on Amazon, didn't see any other posts so i thought i would share. Super thin, flush and tight. paid $6.22 with shipping
go to amazon.com and search for "Gizmo Dorks Rubberized Case Cover for the Sprint HTC EVO 4G

Sounds like the same ones we were picking up from Ebay for $5.95-6.95. Not a bad case for being so cheap.

yea, they look the same as the ebay ones. i have the red one. it's very nice, decent grip, and the color is pretty damn eye-catching. i kid you not when i say that random people come up to me to ask what phone i have on a daily basis...
i have the blue and neon colors coming in too hehe..

Does it hug the phone tightly? Im looking for something rubberized but has a snug fit and covers the edge of the screen.

it does definately hug the phone tightly, but i wouldn't necessarliy say that it covers the edge of the screen, just the sides of the phone...

i got a red one a couple weeks ago. i using set my phone face down so the edges are starting to peel. anyone else have one and notice that?

i have the red one. it's been pretty nice so far. hugs the phone nicely, "rubbery" back provides nice grip. it covers the sides and very slight side edges of the screen.

i don't really put the phone face down (too anal about the screen), but i have noticed it shedding some inner paint on the back of the evo, on the battery cover. have you noticed that?

I've had the smoked one with the diamond pattern for about 3 weeks now. No issues. It does hold the phone firmly. My favorite case so far. No complaints except shipping costs... Wasnt available with Amazon Prime..
My previous case was the one found in the Sprint store with the three colors.

Verizon Motorola DROID X Snap-In Belt Holster - Yes Its Real

Hey guys, i got this in a few days ago so I can verify it fits the MOTOROLA DROID X not the Samsung that the description says.
You can even tell by the part # that it is made for the DROID X. Why Verizon has it screwed up I dont know, but it is the ONLY face-in snap-in holster I have found.
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&accessoryId=46229
Enjoy, I will post pics of it on my phone in a bit.

They have a better one that comes with a back shel also
It is called shell/holster combo for $30

I have the holster. It's a little flimsy and I'm probably going to replace it with the Seidio. As for the holster shell combo, it sucks. I had it for my incredible and it gets loose.

Check out this one...

I like that better because it comes with the protective case, and its a clip on.

That's the one I had, it's made by Amzer. It doesn't protect the top of the device either. Mine fell out of the holster and dinged up the top of my phone.

I have this one and hope it loosens up over time. Right now, it takes two hands to get the phone out of the holster because it's so tight. It works great for me though, no worrying about the phone falling out of the holster.

I might have to get this one then, if its that tight.
I work at an auto parts store so im constantly moving around, brushing up against greasy things or crawling under people's cars so I need some protection for my phone. How is the quality of the case?
Also, does the case wrap around the front of the phone? I mean if I lay the phone face down will the screen touch or will the case protect it?

Yes, the case does wrap around the front enough to keep the glass off the counter when you lay it down. Both the shell and the hoster are rigid with a rubberized feel.
It doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone like some cases I've looked at, so the phone is pocketable when you want to go without the holster.
I picked mine up in my Verizon store, so would recommend you stop at one and ask to see it on an X.

Yes i have this holster. Just picked it up yesterday. And it seems secure and I liked the look and the feel of it in my hand. Just didn't like that it left the top of the phone exposed. In the holster its protected though. Its when you take it out it seems like it could possibly get dinged at the top of the phone if it fell. Otherwise it seems pretty cool. Im looking to see if someone comes out with a holster that includes complete coverage of the phone and holster combo. I think they didn't cover the top because the antenna is located there. Not sure but just a theory.

The screen protectors we talk about in this thread (the SGP Crystal Clear ones) are the best by far, and they also have the anti-fingerprint ones too.

Any Nice Holsters / Beltclip cases at all?

I have been looking for cases lately, and I was thinking - A regular case will take away from the beauty of the phone, I like to have my phone without a case but unfortunately accidents do happen and I would be very disappointed if something did (such as my phone dropped etc..).
So I was thinking it might be nice to have some type of belt clip or holster, but I have never been in the market for that type of case -maybe you could make some recommendations ?
I was thinking I would prefer a vertical case instead of a horizontal one because that seems like it would be odd to have that on my belt in that position ...at least the vertical one I could clip it to the inside of my pocket....
idk - please advise me though...

Tmobile makes a holster that you can rotate vertical and horizontal. You can also invisible shield the whole phone for added protection just in case you drop it. I'm in the same boat so looking at options also.

I bought the myTouch leather holster for work.
http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-HTC-myTouch...309099?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cf30e352b

The one at the T-mo store is a clear plastic with just a bit of opaqueness to it. You holster the phone in screen side down so the screen is protected from any scratches.
It actually looks quite nice. I might get this one just because if and when the docking stations come out, I don't want to bother with taking the phone in and out of a case, since all the cases I've seen cover up the dock buttons.

I hear a lot of people complaining about their invisible shield , things such as turning yellow or not protecting the WHOLE complete phone or even just not completely protecting it from a fall (I.e. it still gets dents / scratches or cracks)...

yes. the smoke colored one. The plastic seems sturdy, and the phone fits in solid.
I went to T-mo store and the boxes that the cases come in can be opened from the back. I asked them for a demo unit (wasn't gonna use mine ) and tried on every case, and that's when I noticed none of them had openings for the dock buttons.

maybe it can be customized to fit with the dock opening?...
but as far as the Holsters / Beltclips thing goes - I was thinking of putting an InvisibleShield (or something similar) protecting the whole phone, then have a Holster/Beltclip/ Pouch for it....
Does that sound good or reasonable? Maybe you might have other alternatives?...
I found this link by google:
http://www.letstalk.com/tmobile-mytouch-4g-cell-phone-accessories
they have some decent looking holsters...
I had an idea though, I do not have to order one specifically for the MT4G, I can get one of a phone with similar dimensions (i.e. iphone 4 holsters, or nexus 1 holsters, etc...)

There seems to be 2 types of materials, 3 finishes.
On mine, the clearish part is a slightly-bendable hard plastic with the texture of what all of my matte hard plastic. Think the type of plastic that is one most power adapters (that aren't shiny) but add a slightly bendable aspect to it.
The black part on the back is shiny, slick, smooth, and more flexible. It's similar to silicon cases (what I can assume you mean by soft gel/rubber) but I think it's still different. It seems to be less "floppy" even though it is very bendable. The shiny black part seems to "stick" to certain surfaces (such as my desk and other hard/flat surfaces) but not to some that you would expect (it doesn't stick to my pockets at all and glides just fine across my clothing, car seat, and non-leather furniture - it might stick to leather, I don't know). The black part on the front appears to be the same material as the black part on the back, but with a matte finish. The result of the different finish is that it doesn't have the "stickiness" on much of any surface, yet still gives your hand a slight bit of grip beyond what the stock TBolt gives you.
Overall, the "feel in hand" is comfortable and it gives you extra grip but doesn't feel sticky or anything like that. Imagine going from a slick, hard-plastic phone to a phone with a rubberized body (like our TBolt has). Going from a naked TBolt to this case is kinda like taking that one step further. But in no way could I ever describe it as "feeling sticky" in my hand or pocket.

So it looks like/feels like it's not going to just fall apart or anything like that, if that's what you mean. I can't envision drops/dings or other daily use wearing it down.
The ONE concern that I have about it holding up is because it is made with two types of "plastic" (I don't know if it's plastic, silicon, rubber, or whatever, hence my quotes). I fear that if I take the case off and on a lot (for my car dock), that the joints of the two plastics might start to come apart. This is NOT based on any quality issues that I have seen so far, just a concern based on the fact that this wasn't produced in a single mold when it was melted down (this is coming from somebody with an engineering background).
I will be shocked, though, if I have a problem with this case in the next 6 months, and for $5, well, I'd say that's pretty damned good!

Read my post a couple posts up about the 2 different types of materials with 3 finishes. As best as I can tell, the inside is the same material as the outside. What this means is that 60% of it is the very flexible plastic while the clear part does cover ~40% of the back. I would expect the black part to offer more protection to a fall/bump than the clear part, and fortunately the black part covers most of the corners and edges. Still, I expect the clear part to offer more protection than a hard plastic case would.

Updated the OP with some photos. Perhaps they will help.

thanks for the detailed feedback!

This case will also fit into the Verizon holster/shell combo holster. You just can't use the VZW shell, but it'll slide into the holster. The fit is a little snug, but it works. I like to swap out this case with the VZW shell. This one provies more protection, but the VZW one is pretty cool too.
In case anybody was wondering, I got mine from this seller from China: http://goo.gl/62Fhx
It took something like 10 days to get to me, but I didn't mind since it cost less than a good burger.

Black Bumper for S3 (HQ pics) Recommend!!

Let me start this review just by saying that i love bumper cases. I
have been looking over the internet to find the best bumper case for
our Galaxy s3. I came across this case. Its a STRONG silicone bumper
that completes me in every aspect.
First of all. Its cheap. I think that everyone can try a cheap case
and if they dont like it, they throw it to their dog. (hehehe) Guys,
seriously. this is the best bumper case i have seen over the internet.
Why? It has a nice touch when you are holding your
phone. VERY nice touch. You will want to just hold your phone because
it has a nice feel Second of all: PROTECTION. And i mean it. Front,
back and sides are fully protected.
Front side (screen): the case has a slight bump on the edges so if the
phone drops the floor, its still protected (floor not the road hehe).
Back: Again, the case has a bump on the edges. So if your phone drops
on the back, protected!!! if you want to lay down your phone on a
table: PROTECTED.
Sides: Full protection, which is obvious why: its the case hehe.
Buttons: FULLy accessible button, both power and volume buttons. They
are covered by a soft silicone so there are very easy to press
(compare to the other tpu case i have reviewed)
I dont know if there are more colours available. You must check on
sellers ebay site.
Rating: If this case would be rated its a rock solid 5/5. Believe me
on this. It defenently worths every peny guys. I even compare it with
a TPU bumper case, that i have reviewed last week, amd this is by far
better.
Enjoy the pictures. I tried to take as many as possible.
I will review more bumper cases in the near future so stay tuned.
You can buy this on this link:

if you find this review helpful, hit thanks

Do you guys mean the material of the case degraded? This is all one-piece right? I was JUST shopping for my first bumper case and saw some aluminum ones that snap or screw together, but it seemed like the TPU ones are just a single piece of material and wrap around the edges.

Its a single piece mate. Plus you dont lose any signal plus its a snap in snap out plus its veryyy cheap

How does this fit with a zag shield?
Galaxy S3 Paranoid ROM.

I think that with the zagg shield you will be ok. The case has already a tight fit so its better not to use extra protection underneeth. I dont think you need zagf shield for the back cover because its already protected from the case.

If it is anything like the one for the Galaxy Nexus (and it appears to be the same), there is a hard plastic material used on the rear portions of the bumper, while the piece which surrounds the screen is flexible rubber. With the GN, the two materials separated.

Do you think the the bezel or screen would get damaged if I dropped it from pocket height and it hit the corner on cement? Just wondering if I should still be extra careful when using this bumper.
