well...I guess it's all relative what a "good deal" is, but I got married on friday, graduate school in 3 weeks, and have yet to find a full time, salaried position with benefits. I'm currently turning a wrench in a shop as much as I can on weekends to make some $$, but the GI Bill has helped wonders.
In short, I stay strapped for cash. Never broke, but always lookin for a deal

Came across this just now, and didn't even hesitate to order. I figured even if the whole package sucks, I paid under 10 bucks for expedited shipping. If it works out, I've got a case til I decide which nice one to get (OB or Seidio prolly...) and car charger (already have a decent screen protector). For 10 smackeroos, I'll take that risk
Either way...not trying to advertise, hope this isn't interpreted as such, I just figured this deal had to be shared!
Looks like a good deal to me. I don't like cases though. I like my.phone like my women... naked. The captivate is too pretty to hide behind a case.

I got this one last week, will be writing a reveiw soon. The case is good, the charger is ok but is not for a Captivate, the bag says is for a Motorola Razr and the screen protector can't say nothing because I am using a different one.

thanks for the info. that's pretty much about what I expected. I wasn't gonna worry about the screen protector, as I, like you, am using a different one, mainly i bought it 'cause i figgered it might work out to a cheap, halfway decent case, and a bonus charger

Hey I'm looking to do some customizing on my back battery door but wanted to pick up a spare has anyone found where to buy one yet? I check around quite a bit and haven't found anything yet.
Also I'm fabricating my own little desk top dock cuz 50 bucks is too much. It won't be anything super amazing but I will post pics when I'm done.

I need to get one of these once I figure it just case situation. How will this affect the upcoming charging mat btw?

Have they shown the inductive charging back for the GS3 yet?
Not that I've seen yet. Easy touchstone mods if you're slightly crafty though

I would pick one up but $30 seems expensive for what it is. I do like it tho.
Thanks for bringing this product to my attention. They also have a deal on a free case with a order. I just placed my order. Thanks again man.
Thanks for posting, I ordered it.
The free cases were unavailable
I cant believe people are paying $30 for that.
Pay me $25 and I will train you on how to hold your phone. Deal?
I think this is great. Ordered 2. Couldn't leave the gf out. She saw it and said "i need that for my galaxy note".

I wanted to see the free case that comes with it. However, I really like the idea. I could purchase an extra back for my phone so I could just swap backs when I am leaving the house. I WISH I could see this in stores first as I have watched the video on how to tell which size to use, but I am not sure as to how far down on my fingers I would hold the phone. I also would like to see how easy it would be to pull the adhesive of; I would hate to substitute this as a case and then be out in the Texas heat with this thing on and the adhesive wear off, sending my $600 phone plummeting to its death. However, pretty good review I will keep my eyes on this accessory.
Oh, and I am also curious as to much thicker the small and medium
TL;DR: I need to see this in person first before I spend $30.

Nice woulda been nice to have know about this with the Samsung Galaxy Note.
It's good that there is free shipping but after watching the videos the guy did say that they are available at Inmotion stores...mostly
in airports. Here is a link to the site.

Put that good phone to use and give them a ring to make sure it is in stock before you go.
Just got this today. The thing looks quite functional, but I wonder how durable it is in the long run?
The case seems like generic black TPU, feels a bit rubbery. Although, I haven't owned a phone case in a while so I can't say. I'm on the fence about it, but will put it through its paces before passing judgment.

Training us to hold the phone is not the point. I can't even reach the Menu button or a lot of real estate on this phone much less hold it without the threat of dropping it while trying to operate one handed. With one of these my thumb will be able to reach all areas of the screen with no danger of me dropping the phone. There are many times when one-handed usage is ideal, but this phone is so large for most it's not possible. I bought one just the other day and only wish I had happened upon this thread first to get the free shipping. Did get a free case, though.

Just wondering if once on is there any method to loosen the adhesive to take it off. Due to dropping my first phone I have an extra case as well as an extra battery. I'm planning on using both cases-will place Flygrip on one and leave the other original. I'm just thinking I might not like the color (I ordered white for my blue S3) and may order another color and take the first one off.
So I thought the Gnex looked kinda boring as it stands (esp since there are no buttons on the front face), so I decided to customize my VERIZON Gnex a bit.
Before anything even happens, I want to find some parts to make it my own original design. Here are the things I'm looking for:
1) Brushed aluminum (silver) battery door; ideal design would be circular patterns that radiate from a central point (like the Acer Transformer Prime tablet)
2) A small Samsung decal in gray, silver or black (preference in that order)
3) A small Google decal in gray, silver or black (preference in that order)
4) A medium sized Nexus "X" decal
I would then paint my middle housing (and all buttons) the pearl white that's found on the Lexus IS 350/250. The back door would either be the brushed aluminum (silver), or I'd paint the original one the same pearl white and apply the Samsung, Google and/or Nexus decals accordingly.
Sadly, I've spent some time searching for the above items on eBay and have found nothing for my Verizon Gnex. Please point me in the right direction if you know where I could find such items. I know this kind of project is very popular (referring to the thread about the white housing), but I wanted mine to be a little more original. I have access to an auto body shop, so the painting isn't the main issue.
Criticism is welcome.
Make the images yourself then take it to one of those sticker places at the malls and have them make it for u. Won't cost too much and you will be able to get exactly what u want

If there isn't a manufacturer already making them, the battery cover in aluminum could get a little pricey. You would probably need to have it produced as a one-off piece from a machine shop with a CNC machine. I don't know for sure, but wouldn't that much metal have a detrimental effect on your signal quality? It seems like NFC would have a hard time at least, since it's range is so limited already. Either way, the idea sounds pretty cool. Would love to see some pictures when you get everything together.

Aluminium batter covers already exist on ebay and they kill NFC entirely. That's the reason why they aren't that popular.
This is how they look for the international version. Does not work with the Verizon (i515) version though.

Cool. Thanks for confirming that suspicion.
I actually dont use nfc at all right now, so its low on my priority list. However, i dont plan on having one custom made due to pricing. If anything now, i might make it full silver or pearl white with the decals.
Still lookin for decals tho

I found this for anyone who might like this design instead of a more minimalistic one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/11081105592...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_600wt_1037
im sort of annoyed how i browsed and browsed the cases suggested on this site, and read a LOT of the threads/pages...and people who got white cases, or had experience with them, never mentioned how the white will diminish and dis-color.
i have a nilkin case that was highly suggested here, so i got one from ebay for 10. case is exactly what i wanted, but after a few weeks i started to notice my white case turn a bit rusty-browny/ish. my otterbox iphone 4s case was white, and also picked up ink from jeans or something after so long. if i knew all of this i would have never gotten another white case... i figured the otterbox just picked up crap, and was willing to try somethin else light.

I reckon if you spend the money on a better white case like the UAG it wouldn't discolor.

Whats wrong if he shared his experience. Isn't it one of the reasons to converge on the forums. His purchase was based at-least partly on research and recommendations here. It didn't pan out for him and he posted. You need to loosen up a bit
Yep.. white discolors, lesson of life lol.
the UAG might not discolor cause it has clearcoat on it (I think, right?)
As for rubber/silicone/TPU white cases, try a magic eraser.

Ok so I read on JD power the 2013 Honda civic was best car for 2013 in it's class. I bought it. Now I hate this pos! Did I go to Honda forum and cry about it? Nope I mand up! Everyone knows white discolors/gets dirty fast. Maybe I was outta line but that's how I felt

If you don't like his post, dont read it, dont open it, just ignore it.
It doesnt violate any rules as far as I can tell, however your responses to him are borderline harassment
I too find it odd he did not realize white tends to get dirty. But now he knows, and maybe others out there didn't know but will see this thread now.
No big deal.

Its not a question of like/dislike or buyers remorse. If there is an issue with the product and/or its advertized features, then yes, I will gripe, be it a civic or a beemer or the might pencil. Of late , a lot of sellers who stand behind the quality of their products have some sort of active/passive monitoring on social boards (check Amazon/Newegg) for feedback on their products and sometimes that is the quickest way to a resolution.
ok i need to get over my wasted 10 dollars. you need to get over me complaining about it...if i was looking for a new car and read a lot of positive (biased) reviews about that car, i would want someone to share their good [AND] bad experiences of the car..lets say the car has no cup holders, and 99 percent of the posters failed to mention that..what if i drove long distances and needed cup holders? and you were the only one that mentioned it had no cup holders. --NOPE dont do that. you're whining and crying about it. (dumb example i know lol)
its 10 dollars, just like you said. not a huge deal, although a lot of cases are more 20-50 dollars. im not making a huge deal about it. i was just trying to warn other people. what if someone is hung up between two cases, and they cant decide which one. and maybe my thread helped them pick what color they would like a little more easier because they're not reading the same post over and over ("oh this case is good")
Just wanted to let you guys know, the back of your phone will get scratched if you accidentally drop it without a case on it. HTC didn't list this in their product description, So I am letting you know.
I've got an OEM Samsung white case on my Note 2 and it's it's fared very well. I've had it for months and it hasn't discoloured or gotten dirty. It all depends on the material that the case is made out of.
I'm looking for a case for the One that I have now and I've used a Nillkin case before and it was black and it was great.
I guess it also depends on how dirty your hands and pockets are too.
Wow. Y'all need to get your panties out of a wad and get off the OP's back. It was just a post letting ppl know his experience with the case. Go find your next victim. Geez. -_-

Well I have the nillkin white flip case for over a month now and it is fine. Granted it being white it does get dirty real fast so it needs cleaning constantly, I have been doing this and its been fine for me so far.

I'd tend to lean with the "what's the point" crowd on this one-- no offense, OP, but this is kind of par for the course with...well, anything white! Which really does suck, because I know a lot of people prefer that aesthetic-- personally, dark and understated colors have always done me better.
That said, I'd also echo the sentiment that it varies from case to case. $10 cases are just about always going to be a hit-or-miss-- for that kind of cost, it's unlikely that the manufacturer invested in quality materials, especially if plastics are involved. Those will discolor on contact with just about anything "unusual" in the environment. I don't think TPU cases discolor much though, so if you want a cheap white option you could look into one of those.
Of course, the worst case scenario with these is if discoloration happens outside of the return period.
Yeah, I tend to avoid white matte plastic cases. The polished ones don't stain quite as easily, but scuffs are very apparent.

Uh, umad bro? If you want to go hang your heads in collective misery, a PM would probably be a lot more efficacious.
Seriously.. how do people not know white gets dirty easily?
Heres a few more tips:
Matte/rough surfaces tend to get dirty easily and stain.
Glossy/smooth surfaces tend to be easy to clean off, the gloss is a clear coat that protects the paint under it. Stains usually just wipe off.
Light colors tend to get stained because they are light, so any dirt/dyes will show up very clearly.
Your jeans were made with a lot of dye, it is highly likely that your case will get stained by that too, especially if your jeans get a bit wet (due to the rain for example).
