I am a rep for T-Mobile and we have started receiving our accessories in the stores. I don't have pictues just yet because I don't want to lose my job as many of my co workers are also tech savvy and on this forum, however I have seen that there are a few nice accessories that you all can expect from T-Mobile at launch. Keep in mind that our stuff is pretty expensive but there is a buy 2 and get 20% off and buy 3 get 30% off accessories special going on right now.
1) leather vertical belt clip
2) gel skins in blue, purple and pink so far
3) a hard shell with a kind of monochrome checker pattern n the back. (This one is nice and thin but is the kind that lacks wrap around protection on the top and bottom of the phone. Kinda just cradles the sides and back. Still nice though.)
4) there is supposed to be a hard shell with a slot for you ID and credit cards. (I haven't seen this one yet but if its nice and thin this is the one I will buy.)
5) there should be a desktop cradle coming soon too because this phone has the charging contacts on the side so it will be a landscape cradle. Looking forward to this one too! (Missed it from when I had my nexus)
Anyways I'll stop rambling now. I hope this helps you all out and at least can give you an idea of what is coming at launch time guys. The MyTouch line is
T-Mobile's franchise line of products so expect to see a lot of advertising, support and a full line of accessories.

Thanks for the update. Keep us posted when and how we can order the new phone.
I think one of the best places to get the phone will be at walmart usually 50-60 bucks cheaper...
The credit card holder shell/skin is cool! (already got it in my store)
-clear back shell/rubber side hybrid is cool too

Is there a chance you could post pics of credit card holder shell? Sounds interesting!
Any luck telling us location of your store? I personally am looking for the white my touch with the clear hard shell case and kickstand
Im using the black gel skin on mine we got some nice ones in my store there is a clear one with a grey rubber grip down the sides which cradles the phone nicely and covers the corners as well. I threw it on the white one and it contrasted very well. Wasnt to crazy about it on my black phone though.
t-mobiles facebook page posted a bunch of pics of the accessories. they all look pretty sweet!
here is a link to the preview:

I'm digging the black case with clip
Are there any real-life pictures of these cases? I'm looking for a slim case that will protect that is not the rubber/silicone.
I got the black silicon slip case, the dual-port car charger and the generic GPS cradle (I wish they'd hurry up and release the official docks).
The silicon case is choice. It's not too 'rubbery' so it doesn't stick to things like other cases have in the past. It is extremely smooth. It feels like the soft touch paint along the frame, and adds the perfect amount of weight to the phone. I applied the included screen protector (film), which took a bit of 'finger grease' to cut back on the friction. Now, it feels similar to the standard glass (which was smooth as silk, similar to the Vibrant).
The generic GPS cradle is decent. No charging ports, but it serves a purpose. Pity the Car Home app is a bit buggy and not as handy as stock 2.2's application.
I'll be first in line to pick up the official docks when they are launched.

So it is two cases? I don't follow... What are the clear cases with the kickstand? How much was that one?
That is the case I am using I may take more pictures of others later tonight It is a 2 part case has a thin rubber underlying which the plastic overlays on to make one case.
I really like that white case, almost bought it last night. I just couldn't see spending $30 on it, that should be $20 at most. Waiting on some ebay knockoffs.
I got the clear case with the grey grip on the sides and i put it on a blk and am happy about it. Even with the case its not too much bigger than an i phone but the screen is bigger and it is lighter.

I have this exact case and it's just amazing!! I love it!
Case also includes a full screen protector.
That is a sweet case. I used one from OtterBox for my N1 called a "commuter case" and this is just like it.
The MT4G fits nice and snug and is very well protected.
Well worth the $30 imo.

Hi everyone,
I was asked by Blake from RearthUSA.com to evaluate their new rubber case for the Sprint EVO 4G. I have the white EVO really wanted to get a good case for my favorite little everything device.
There are things that I was looking for. From my past experiences with other types of case I had some requirements.
1. I hated the hard cases, because they were very difficult to get off. So hard that eventually the face plate of the hard case will break. You have to pry them off and that cause scratches and nicks and scars on the edges of the seams of the case.
2. The silicon cases fit and give great grip, but everything sticks to the surface. The material grabs the lint and crap in your pockets and out of the air. It is very hard to pull out of your pocket. This make it more annoying when the phone is ringing and you are trying to get it out in time. You have to force it out and grab tighter, this causes you to accidently push buttons on the screen or the hard buttons on the phone.
3. I did not want the case to add to much thickness to the phone. I love how thin it is. Can’t understand why people want a thin sexy phone, but then add on these thick cases that give huge protection.
4. I don’t want it to look cheap. Most generic rubber cases look so plain, cheap, and non-sexy. They are like a potato bad on a sexy runway model.
5. I am also very concerned about the back camera lens. I am still trying to figure out what was on the designers mind when they thought it was a good idea to push the lens farther than the body. To be exposed to damage.. being on the back.. which will always hit all surfaces when you put it down.
Now for the Ringke cases that Blake wanted me to evaluate. They sent me 2 case to evaluate.
http://rearthusa.com/products-page/ringke-gadget-cover/htc-evo-4g/
I asked for the Red Wine and the Aqua Black.
Colors:
The colors are a little miss leading.
In normal indoor lights the color is lighter than you would think the name suggests. In the sun, it is looks more like cherry red. It is fine for me.
The Agua Black is completely miss-leading (unless I got the wrong color). Based on the only 2 dark colors available: Slate Gray or Aqua Black, what I have can not be Slate Gray because it is darker on the website. I wanted a “black/dark” cover. From what others that have gotten the Slate Gray, they said it it was too gray. The Aqua Black is partially transparent and the color is Gray! On the back side, you can see the my white EVO cover; and can read the “Sprint 4G” logo right above the kick stand.
Fit:
The 2 cases are different . The Red fits perfectly. All ports and buttons are aligned. All the edges hug the phone just enough. The phone is snug. Red case “fit” is perfect.
The Gray is slightly too small. On the front screen, the sides; the tight fit causes the lip to LIFT off the glass screen and pulled outwards to the sides. This causes the sides to not have clean straight lines. Around the kickstand the opening does not hinder it function, but lines do not match up right. I even used the Aqua for a week so that it might have time to “work itself in”, but it never changed it’s fit or shape. This also means that the Red case will keep it’s great fit; and not loose it over time.
Finish:
All the sexy lines of the EVO are not lost by this case. It highlights all the sexy curves. The detail is very good. I like the extra line that follows the battery cover. The add opening for the “htc” logo is a good touch and give it a quality design image. The added texture of the skin is nice too and give a plush feel while providing better grip.
To my 5 requirements listed above:
1. Check: it is a rubber case and is easy to get on and off. Simple.
2. Check: it has a great feel. Not sticky or grabby. Goes in the pocket and slides out clean.
3. Check: it adds a minimum of extra thickness, but still provides a good add rubber protection.
4. Check: the design and attention to extra detail keeps my EVO sexy and slim.
5. Check: they added a little extra padding around the back lens for protection.
Price:
The price is $16.99 with free shipping. This may seem a little high.
We all know we can buy generic rubber or silicon cases for $5 plus $3 shipping all day online. But at that low price, I still say they are not even worth the $8. For a good quality case that you will want to use daily, $17 is a good deal.
Conclusion:
The quality is great. (don’t order the Aqua Black unless they remake the mold)
The price is good, because you can spend more in retail stores.
Ringke case is a must buy for anyone that has the same concerns and requirements as I do.
Suggestion for RearthUSA.com:
They should have a 2 pack deal for $19.99 with free shipping.
With each color selection, it will include a solid jet black case.
Thanks and I hope this review is able to help others.
Special thanks to Blake at RearthUSA for his help to get these awesome cases to me for review.
Sincerely
Dan330
great review....looks like a nice case
Great review. I have been contemplating buying one of these cases and one of my options was going to be the wine color or slate grey. Looking at it in your pictures it looks more red than I thought I would be. I have to agree that their colors are deceiving. I notice they sell a solid black for other phone but the Evo only gets dark grey. If they had a solid black I would have purchased already. The slate grey is just a dark grey. I want this case but the colors are keeping me back.
The price is also a concern and should be changed to two for 19.99 like you stated. That would be a great deal.
Let me know if your looking to sell these if your not looking to keep them.
Ordered two as well. Should get them soon and will have my review. I got the white and dark grey for my white evo. Sold my otterbox commuter so I can buy one.
mikfroyo evo!
Good work (as always) Dan... love the write-up.
I agree: they make good stuff, and customer service is top notch.

Alright time for my review of the rearth case:
My biggest issue was lint on my otterbox commuter, and the added weight and thickness.
I really liked the protection the commuter provided but it was a lint magnet. Was constantly wiping lint off as well as attaching the bottom flap.
I own a white evo and I didn't like the fact that the commuter completely hid that. I ordered the white cover to accentuate the white back.
I think it looks excellent. Also got a black one and you can see the white accents and it looks very good. All the cut outs are perfect.
Fit it very snug, the sides could be a little tighter but overall great fit.
Camera protection is perfect.
Most importantly for me it slides perfectly in and out of my pocket with no lint. I love it!
Came packaged very professionally.
Price is a little high but shipping is included, it is a local usa seller, and the build quality seems excellent. If you have any questions feel free to pm me.
Great job rearth on a great evo case!
mikfroyo evo!
mikfroyo... what color did you order? my Aqua Black was not like that! it was gray transparent.
update:
Blake from RearthUSA.. said that they are looking into my 2 pack deal... they liked it.. and are considering it. NO actual word to when or if they will.
Told him the same thing about 2 pack. I think it should be for the $16.99 though. I think that is aqua black. I like my white one best.

Thanks, leaning toward a white and red one but ill hold on to see if they have a bundle option soon. Would you say the red is a good choice?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
i would have liked the red to be darker... more "wine" color.
but still nice. of course that is a totally opinioned answer. I think my pics are very accurate to real world looks. so base it off that.
waiting....
he only said they are looking into it... it may or may not happen and maybe not soon.
and if your phone is walking around naked... hate for it to be damaged.. while you wait.
I bought this case before realizing that the reviews i've been reading about it have all been sponsored by Rearth... oh well. It was a good choice. I'm a case eilitist and silicone cases suck due to the "grippiness" of them.
TPU cases are pretty good but I found mine to be too thick.
The Seidio Innocase is really nice but their first round of production were too big, cases too expensive and even after they fixed production to make it fit better I still found the case to feel larger than the advertised "1mm' thickness. It made an allready wide phone super-wide.
This Ringke by Rearth is damn good. Best of both worlds imo. I've never felt a material like this before. I'm not stoked about the overlap on the front of the case--how it covers the borders around the screen--but I'm trying to look at it as a feature, that is, it keeps my screen protector's corners down and protected.
This thing is so thin, yet strong and smooth = no lint, no inverted pants pockets. It will, however, slide on a smooth surface so that may be a drawback for some. Off the phone it is as floppy as it looks in the video but reliably stiff once it's on the phone.
This message was not sponsored by Rearth
ALSO...
I emailed Rearth asking if they'll ever have a true black colored case, not grey, not transparent and they said they may have it as soon as one month from now.
Is it a tight fit case? I like tpu cases because of their tight fit no bulk.

Yes. He said he sent his supplier (manufacturer) in Asia an email inquiring whether they would produce it in a (what I called) "true black."
He responded that they might and to check again and that he'd let me know at the end of the month. Haven't heard anything since, today's the last of the month and I understand these things take time.
Another case reviewed guys
Diztronic updated and modded their case and now came with version 3.0 . There are some nice changes like getting rid of the tpu buttons and putting a little more gloss.
Check it out
Thanks, Raul. Great review.

You mentioned this works with the extended battery, does that include the verizon model and does it leave any abnormal bulge. The high gloss case from verizon fits really nice but the speaker cutout has a small gap. With OCD its very annoying.

I have to say though, after using it for a week I took it off, and I had forgotten how slim and light the phone is.
Going caseless now...
I couldn't find the Black Matte v3 cases on Amazon during CES. I ended up ordering a transparent black which I'm unsure if I'll like. I really wanted the black matte as shown in the video and seeing it makes me want it more.
yeah, the guys were at ces, but contact them im sure they ll help you out
I like the case, but I want one in white. Anyone has an email for them, or will I have to open a ticket?
I would love white, but I bought my GF a white TPU case last year and the thing is dank now. I bought her a pink one when I ordered my Diztronic case.
I'll see about the smoke gray. It might not be too bad. I like my SGP Black case now because I don't even notice its on. The black blends in with the screen so well it just feels normal.

You're right. I bought a white TPU case from Diztronic for my Thundebolt last year, and in a couple months, the color went from (somewhat) white to a ugly combo of ugly yellow/pinkish white. Of course it was a glossy version, so perhaps a matte white combo would work better... maybe...
Right now I have a Hybrid S-line TPU that I got for a buck from eBay, and I just love how the white rim of the case contrasts so well against the black face of the phone. It doesn't fit with the extended battery cover though, which is a bummer.
just bought one on ebay !
Thank you !
cant wait, just not sure how it ships to israel and australia faster than canada?
Just search diztronic nexus, only this showed up, bought the back matte
Check it out! They are releasing it mid march. Works for the US Verizon version with the extended battery.
http://www.rearthusa.com/verizon_galaxy_nexus_slim.html
It's discounted to $20.80 and free shipping. Comes in three colors right now - Alpine White, Black, and Metallic. I just preordered the metallic being that I have the non Verizon Alpine White version.

Grrrrrr....... and I just bought the Diztronic TPU Version 3 case.
Awesome! I'm torn between the Matte Black or White. I have a Diztronic Glossy Black that I love. I bought a Matte Black and it didn't provide enough grip.
Is the White and Metallic glossy? Last time I bought a Ringke case it was sort of a foam, these seem like a hard plastic. I'd love white but I think it would end up dirty and stained.
Update:
I just bought the Metallic. Everyone says it blends in real well with the original color which is nice because there are spots that the actual phone shows through like on the sides.
Just ordered a metallic. Hope it doesn't suck!

You really don't see this that much esp since this case will fit the extended AND standard. Great job Rearth!

As long as the case is larger, it should be ok. We're talking about millimeters here. It'll probably fit but have some play which could be corrected if you get creative.
I think they went for it is because Verizon is the only carrier in the US and they had extended batteries from day 1... for 50% off... so most people picked it up. A case that is a tad thicker is better then a case that is too thin.
I want the alpine white case, my only concern is if it starts to stain or discolor only after a few days. Anyone have any opinions on this?

I understand the whole USA vs GSM issue but USA only has LTE models which are different in size anyway from the GSM variant, so GSM snug fitting cases won't work anyway.
So thats a huge chunk of customers they want to account for. LTE specifically, which most of the LTE phones probably have the extended because they were selling them at such a good price.
And yes I bought the Metallic as noted on the first page. Ringke is a great company and I've demoed a few of their products in the past to know they are high quality. I too wanted the white but I've seen lots of "white" cases. I would have also liked a Glossy Black. The matte is nice but actually feels more slippery then the gloss. The gloss has a "sticky" feel that helps keep it in my hands.
The Metallic is supposedly glossy and matches the phone pretty well, according to the GSM thread. We'll see. Can't wait.
Anyone know where this case can be seen in person? I'd like to hold one before I buy it.
Anyone bought the following TPU Bumper for the Galaxy Nexus?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-BUMPER-...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item905d2ca610
How is the fit for the GSM version of the GNex?
Will the TPU bumper lift the camera lens away from the surface like how I suppose the front lip (which I hope is minimal) can lift the screen away from the surface when the phone is placed downwards?
How is the gloss like? Any other similar products with matte?
Are the buttons cut-out?
Does it add a lot, width wise?
Is the tpu rubbery? in the sense that it is sometimes hard to pocket?
Wow... lots of questions lol.
Crap, I just found a thread that has the same link. Thread title: "Best Case for Extended Battery $5 (Picture)"
Sorry if I accidentally double posted, my mind filtered out any threads where extended batteries are referred to since I have the standard batt.
Looks good, I am also looking for one.
but not shipping to sg
I ordered one of these. Should be here one day next month. I hate waiting, but that's what it is when shipping from overseas.

Mine was delivered on Friday. Very nice... fits perfectly and doesn't add much extra to the phone. It easily slips into your pocket fine even with the rubber which is only very slight. The buttons are covered with the rubber giving it a nice feel while protecting them. I got the black one and the phone feels very good in the hand with it on. Looks very stylish and still retains the GNex look while protecting it.
Hope this info helps. Only issue was it took 3 weeks to get to me..... only got the postal service to blame for that though LOL
I ordered 2 last weekend. My GNEX had been the first phone that I've gone naked with for this long and I'm loving it, but get freaked out of the thought of dropping it with no protection. Hopefully this is a good compromise.

Definitely worth the wait. It's very stylish, keeps the GNex looking the way it was intended yet protecting it.

All the links are for the 9250 GNex. Which one should I order for the LTE version?

I think because of the way these work, they should fit both versions. I can't say for certain since mine hasn't come in yet. Damn slow boat shipping.

Your welcome haha!
I am buying the Black one with the White front trim, and I think I want to try the Orange and white. Looks nice. Cheap too.
I just ordered this one:

I ordered my case from the op's link for my verizon nexus.
Case came in yesterday and overall its a damn good fit and feel for just $4.
Bought a white one but will probably order a black one as well.
I'll post up pics in a bit.
Got the case from the OP yesterday..*FINALLY*!!
I'm using the CDMA version with the extended battery and the fit is fantastic.
I hate having a case on this phone because it just looks and feels so great in hand naked.
This case feels great AND it's minimal enough that it maintains that sexy nexxy look and feel. Seriously, it looks great in person. Couldn't be happier!

Good Stuff man I cant wait to get mine, Probably going to be a couple weeks though. So I'll update with pictures. I ended up getting the White and Orange. Try something a little different. I have 3 sgp cases and there all white and black. That kind of vibe.
Looks real nice though man.

Ordered the b&w, will review it when I get it. Thanks a lot for the tip!
I finally received my TPU bumper last week. It's definitely for the GSM version, though I don't mind it on my VZW phone. I like it a lot. But yesterday, the black TPU portion separated away from the white plastic section at the USB port area so I can't use it anymore. Could just be a fluke in my case though. I contacted the original seller to see what they can do.
I doesn't notice it in HK!
