Officially the best case in the WORLD :)

I was at the mall about a week ago and there's those little cell phone accessory kiosks and they had a case i had never seen, something that i had only seen for Evo's and Incredible's and such
I tried it on and it fit like a dream only downfall was that they wanted $25 when i knew they had just gotten them just like all the other rip off Kiosks, from Hong Kong. i tried to bargain her down to $15 i told her i can get it on ebay for like 3-5 bucks (which i lied of course because I'm always on there looking for new ****) and she refused so i walked away mad as hell because that ***** was trying to rip me off damnit
anyways so i went on ebay and i couldn't find anything but i look today and what do i find? the same **** she had a Hybrid (Combination of Hard Plastic and TPU) Case for the Vibrant
Im ordering mine now i dont really have to tell you that it fits great because i already did but THIS THING FITS REALLY REALLY GOOD!! all the cutouts are nice and not hacked

Uh..That's cool. It's not like I'm giving a hard time because he emailed me the thread right after he made it and thought it'd be funny to post that. But hey I apologize for "Flaming" him online. I didn't know he had an online BF to protect him from criticism. What a joke.

Lol the funny **** is that is my friend in real life giving me **** lol sorry Drotherman
and yes that is the exact case, I just ordered mine it fits super nice heres a vid of the same general idea but on an Evo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zV1mcJF9apc&feature=player_embedded#!
only difference is instead of it having a design or being clear its like a smoked glass

Thanks for the video! I like it... i now have the T-Mobile gel case and i'm getting sick of it, always sticking on my pocket and dirt on it so i am getting it. Thanks once again

neat, but i dont see how this is preferable to a 100% TPU case... the back plastic is going to get scratched up on this, the TPU cases wont.

Spent 10bucks which included shipping. I guess for my first case it couldn't hurt.
Thanks for the heads up.

Ordered. For $10 why not?

I kinda felt the same way about the official Tmo gel case even though I like the way it feels in hand, the whole getting stuck in the pocket is getting old. The other day the phone slipped out of my hand and fell from about 5' luckily it fell on its side and it bounced a couple times, thanks to that spongy case the phone was unharmed.
I too like the look of this skin, but can it provide the same protection?

The 100% TPU case is nice i personally just don't like the plain back, i have 3 TPU cases One of the original clear smoked (with diamond design on the back) an all white one and an all black on and there's something about the plain looking back and the gay diamonds that i don't like. Its true the plastic might get scratched up and worse case scenario might even crack but i really like this design for some reason

yes and less risk of damaging your case on top of that

So do the volume buttons and the power buttons feel good even though they aren't actually poking through? The only problem I have with my case right now is that since they haven't cut holes through for the buttons it requires quite a bit of pressure in order to use them. Not cool.

to be honest with you that's one thing i forgot to check i was loving the fitment so much i didn't even think to check. It really is a pain in the ass to have to hit the power button and the volume rockers so hard but i guess we will all find out at about the same time. Ive sort of gotten used to having to mash it to be honest lol
maybe i should go back to that mall and see if they still have that case and if so "test" fit it again lol

just ordered this as well, I have so many cases for this phone now but this one seems to have a lot more protection than the mesh type cases that I own.

fair enough, i wasnt really a fan of the octagon pattern but i just needed a case ASAP. it actually looks pretty neat with the blue dot pattern on the battery cover imo, but hey, to each his own.

looks pretty good. does it make it any less slippery? i've been wanting a case, and this is the first one i've seen that isn't horribly huge/ugly, but i've been wanting one to make this slippery phone easier to hold.

yes it does but not if you have chicken grease on your fingers

does it completely cover the chrome bezel?

Meh, I ordered two for under $5. Unless they scam my card I have nothing to lose. Got an extra incase I jack up putting the first one on and if not I'm sure I can trade it for something later.

I order two myself. figured I would keep a spare on hand and 5 bucks you cant complain. Usually around 15 bucks a piece. These look like they are the same material as the invisishield kind.

Not the same as invisibleshield. Just got mine in the other day for my iPhone4 and you get what you pay for. It's like any other screen protector you get but it's only 3 bucks you loss. Mehh

I personally like it. The feel is nice, it doesn't interfere with the quality of the SAMOLED screen, and it helps level out the front of the phone.
My only problem is I derped up the install and got something undernearth the front in two places.
I did have the issue that they weren't cut all the way through... making a little starter cut with my xacto blade and peeling the outer edges away completely helped. The inner cut-outs (speaker, camera and earpiece) all came out easily. Used some lightly soapy water on my fingers and on the adhesive side and it went right on, slid it into place.

Got mine in the mail today. Worst screen protector I have ever purchased. They were not cut well from the rest of the plastic sheet and were a pain to take off and unlike the person above the little pieces (camera, speaker) were a pain in the ass to cut out. I also did not like the feel at all (very rubbery, not smooth at all), and visually they were a complete catastrophe.
I cant remember what I got for my Moto Droid a few months back, but I'm going to have to look it up because THAT was a fantastic SP and actually felt better than the bare glass.
Anyway, I'm glad it was only 5 bucks cause they went straight to the garbage after 5 mins on my phone. Total garbage.

Not sounding good, hopefully I get a couple that wernt made by the guy that rode the short bus to work that day. We'll see, still waiting.

I dont plan on using the screen protector. I have realook one on now. More of just for the body part. As for the look, you are suppose to wait about 3-5 days and it usually clears up.

yea, i just ordered one a while back and just got it! I was soo not gonna replace my invisible shield with this **** .. I put it on my friends Samsung Moment! We put that bad boy to the test .
All in all . the Protector protected to phone from my friends Alabama Slammer .

Hey JimmyKimChee, could ya possibly post a bigger picture? That last one showing the phone hacked up is too small!

Seriously dude, it's a wet-install screen protector. You have to leave those on the phone for more than 5 minutes for it to dry and seal. It takes 3-5 hours to dry and seal completely, believe me, it would've looked really nice if you did.
The back, on the other hand....
But I think that's more my fault because I got impatient, like you, ripped it off and threw it away. Then I got it out of the trash, cleaned it off, and re-applied it. Looks not so great on the back, but it works perfectly.

I had something like this on my G1 -- looked pretty good in the beginning but the corners quickly started to peel and pick up all sorts of crap. Kept the screen piece on though, it was flawless other than the time I put my GF's G1 in my pocket next to mine, and the little loudspeaker bump put a nice divot in my protector.
But, if this one is as rubbery as my last.. Not going to put it on the Vibrant, other than a worst case (considering I've got 5 TPUs and an SGS in the house and just two Vibrants, I'm not sure why I even ordered these films anyway. Couldn't say no to "almost-free," I guess )

Just ordered new EVO "wallet"...

One of my pet peeves about EVO cases is that the darned screen is always at the mercy of whatever else happens to be jingling in your pocket (even if you have a screen protector which can itself become scratched).
Also, I have to carry a wallet AND my EVO. What if I could find a nice leather case I could carry in my pocket that had a cover like a book to protect the screen and also have room for my driver's license and a credit card or two - in other words, a wallet replacement.
Last benefit of having a "book" type case - when outside in direct sunlight, you can open the case so that the cover blocks out direct glare.
Anyway, I just bought this:

... on Amazon for $30 USD. One commenter griped about it, but based upon the pics, I don't see the basis for his complaints.
Will post an edit to this once I receive it and have tried it out.
P.S., I always use a bluetooth headset so holding it to my ear to talk is not an issue. However, it appears the cover would be sturdy enough to be folded back if you wish to speak with the phone to your ear. On the other hand, since the EVO mic is on the bottom of the phone, you could easily converse with the case closed. How muffled the sound from the earpiece would be is at this point unknown. Granted, a better design here would have had a cutout for the earpiece.

I have one very similiar to that and love it!! I dont use it often at all, but it will be great for when I do want to carry it

I'm thinking maybe I can carry an extra battery in that pouch. Will have to wait and see.

For your "pet peeve", all you gotta do is get invisible shield. Never will scratch your screen again.

Had something similar for my old mt3g. The leather around the screen hindered usage and tore easily when I tried to reshape it. Good luck.
Here is an easy fix for your problems:
Jingly stuff goes in the front left pocket.
EVO goes in your front right pocket.
Wallet goes in your rear right pocket.
I have been using this method for a while and it really works.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
Regarding "invisible shield", I hate the tacky feeling when you drag your finger across it. Yeah it's tough as nails, but unpleasant to use. Apparently, the shields with the smoother surfaces scratch easier.
Regarding the fellow who had a similar product. Well, all I can say is that your product was "similar" but not "this" product. In other words, Porsches and Fords are both cars but I'll take the Porsche
Either way, this is all wishful thinking on my part as I have not received the product yet. In the pictures anyway, it looks exactly like what I was hoping for. In that light, I pretty much had to buy it as it would have bugged me senseless if I hadn't tried.
** P.S., One of the main features I am looking forward to in this is the ability to used to top cover as a "sun visor" when I am trying to read my email when outside. If that works, any other little hassles are worth it.
One other benefit of this "wallet" type of case: when wearing my suit, I would carry this in my top right coat packet as I would a wallet. When I carry my phone in this manner, If I were to bend over to pick something up off the floor, the phone could easily slide out and fall. With this, the phone will stick better in my pocket.

I had something similar to this from Ebay, but it was a flip style leather case. The problem I had with it was when someone called, the cutout for the sensor that turns the screen off when up to your face was always covered because the leather around it was just to far away and made the phone stay black unless you pushed it out a little and it got some light on it.
I tried to modify the case but when I cut the leather around the sensor it was to flimsy and just made things worse. Just something to keep in mind with those kind of cases, but since you said you will be using your earpiece I don't foresee many problems.

I just ordered this one, I think it's the nicest looking leather case for the EVO, really digging the contoured back.

Yeah it's the same case. I ordered it from here. $28 with free shipping.

So now you're combining your phone (which is already huge), a case, and the entire contents of your wallet into one thing? And then shoving that fruit cake in one of your front pockets? Sounds pretty bulky. I prefer my wallet to be in my back pocket and I'm definitely not sitting on my phone haha

Lol, I am the only person in this entire forum that wears a suit to work every day?
Anyway, yeah that Melkco case looks sweet. I wonder though if after a while as the leather wears in and softens if it will not become loose and no longer hook properly at the top? These hinges on the bottom look like they might stretch out to me:
I'm gonna check out the one I ordered. If I don't like it I think I may order this one.
P.S., I HATE ordering online from a company who has a website that looks like it was created 15 years ago. This is why it is such a drag that NO LOCAL STORES ever carry these cool specialty items.
Thanks for the heads up, looks sweet.

I will. I just got the shipping notice today and it's coming from hong kong (couldn't find any american sellers) so it should be here in 1-2 weeks I would think. I was drooling over this thing a while back, and it was actually this thread that brought it back to mind and made me buy it. Of all the leather cases I've seen, I think this one looks the nicest- we'll see if it actually is once it gets here.

No ****, thats a pretty cool case..

Just Got This Case.

EDIT; I am placing all of the pics I've posted in this thread below and removing them from later posts. This needed cleaned up plus it should make it easier for people to get a better idea of how they look when you get more than one and trade out the parts. More colors and pictures in the next few days...
I just got one of these and so far I have to say that I am impressed. The plugs that fit the earphone jack and the hdmi/micro usb ports fit remarkably well. I think that I would like it more if the colored plastic piece were a little less slippery. But it is the 'rubberized' plastic so it isn't that bad.
Another EDIT; After owning this for a few months I have to say that the plastic hasn't turned out to be that slippery at all. Just about right for staying on the dash (ish) and getting it in and out of my pocket. And I've decided it is more of a 9/10 to me. And for 10 to 12 bucks shipped, what's not to like.

(Thanks to my Wife for holding the phones for me.)

Awesome, thanks for the review. I was just looking at this case maybe like 2 days ago.
Could you answer a couple of questions? -
- how good is it in protecting the phone if i drop it for example?
- how much thicker does it make the phone look?
- is it possible that the part of the case which "clips on" on the front of the phone can leave scratches?
- does it come with a screen protector?
THANKS!

Edit; Pics moved to original post.
- how good is it in protecting the phone if i drop it for example?
Not sure. Haven't dropped it yet. But as you can see it is a two piece case.
The corners are doubled up with both the plastic and silicone. So I expect the case to take the hit, and not the phone.
- how much thicker does it make the phone look?
Not much.
- is it possible that the part of the case which "clips on" on the front of the phone can leave scratches?
The silicone is between the outer case and the phone, so not a problem.
- does it come with a screen protector?
Nope.
On a side note. I am ordering another one, maybe two. I like the fact that the pieces can be mixed and matched.
Also, It is a little more difficult to use with the docks because of the flap, but not impossible.
Hope that helps.

looks like a good case and there are many cool colors combinations...
i might take one of these.
thanks!

Great review, thanks a lot. And for 2 bucks I will definitely have to try it.

Interesting. Does the silicone case feel good without the hard part?

I removed the hard part and messed with it a little. I guess it feels ok. Without the molded plastic the silicon part is pretty loose. The sides are extra loose. The ends seem ok at best. I don't think that it would just fall off or anything while holding it. But going in and out of a pocket might be a drag.

thanks I think I will buy one on amazon, price seems more interesting

Yeah, the price looks good there too. I don't have Amazon Prime so the shipping would add 3 bucks to the total. Makes it around a dollar more than the ebay price for me. Another example of why I really need to kick Netflix and get Prime...

only certain items get "prime" status, on the case i would have to pay the 3 dollars even though i have prime
just depends on the seller on amazon

I've got this case since 4days.
Good quality/price, the silicone alone feet not so good but with the hard part it's ok.

I have this case as well--white under with black gray outside--and love it. I've had it bout 2 weeks now and it's holding up quite nicely. =)

You'll like it unless you are docking the phone constantly. It will dock, just not very well. I don't dock mine much so it isn't an issue. I ended up getting the black/red and the red/black cases. Now I can mix and match, and have a totally red or black case or leave them as they are. I really dig it all red or all black tho.

so this case can be use with the HD dock too?

Well sort of... You have to hold the rubber thingy that covers the mini usb and hdmi sockets. And once you get it in the dock the fit isn't that great. Loose and wobbly, but functional. Other than that it's a great case.

I do love this case alot i have the all black one

I got an outterbox... was actually disappointed in it. I dropped my phone from about 5 feet, bobbled it till it dropped, and it ended up landing on the top side. I picked it up and saw no physical damage, but the digitizer was not responding toward the top. The notification still works, but just underneath it to about a half inch below all the way across doesn't work. Screw you outterbox!

iSkin Cases for Galaxy S III

Saw an article on this today and it looks good...not too excited about the pricing on their site or the name beginning with an "i"
The iSkin Aura basically looks like a premium version of the Ringke Slim Lite (Which I have and is great btw). I might get it but I think I'll just wait until it hopefully appears on Amazon with a cheaper price and prime shipping.

The ecplise aura will look good with my pebble blue gs3. I would have preferred a white/silver version instead of white/pink :/

The Aura one's look really nice, but didn't someone say something about aluminum backings interfering with NFC? The TPU Vibe cases for $30 is a joke.

I was thinking the same thing but I never find myself using NFC. We need a guinea pig to try it out

Just read this reply about the Barely There Case.
But, if you never think you're gong to use NFC, then it's a moot point.

Ok so i literally NEVER use NFC but a dumb question I guess would be would this work if im setting up share shot with someone?

Wait so has anyone bought this case yet?

Bump just incase anyone has this phone and wants to give their two cents about it

Anyone tried this? The price may appear a little higher.
It's beautiful but I don't really like that it won't stand on every surface.

Got my Aura today. The case itself looks very nice and feels solid, though I believe it does look a bit off on my white model. Very strong distinction between the phone and the case. (In the images in OP the phone looks far more gray than the actual phones - perhaps an optical illusion from the background?)
The case can be a pain to get off - partly due to the phone feeling so fragile when you start putting force on it. This is a good thing from a case perspective, as I'm sure it won't easily come off when it shouldn't. It doesn't add a lot of size to the phone, but with a phone this big (and small hands) you can tell every little bit. Not bad, but I did have to adjust.
NFC does NOT work. Which I'm disappointed by. I use it for all the vending machines/restaurants here at work, where I usually have my phone in my hands already. Due to this, I may look at another case option that allows NFC. If it wasn't for this, I'd keep the case for sure.
Pulling it out of the box I echoed the thoughts of "I'm actually paying this much for a case?" from when I bought it. No Snake Surprise in a can, or confetti was expected, but it was anti-climatic. I expect cases to earn their cost when the device is finally dropped. No, I will not drop this on purpose, but it feels like it will protect it reasonably well. I say reasonably because it does not wrap much to the front of the phone, so a screen-first landing will certainly still have a higher risk of scratching - but I like that it doesn't add much thickness. Plus, it does come with a screen protector.
I like it, and may keep it. If you use NFC, skip this and look into a silicon option... Maybe the vibes? (Someone please post if that allows NFC) If you don't use this and you have the cash burning through your pocket, I'd suggest this to a friend.

What's so good about these cases to be $39.99?

Pretty much...
I like the look of these, fairly unique.
With that said,i already sent my refund request due to the nfc issue.

I bought the D3O case from tmobile, similar to this with a gimmicky "military grade" padding inside but so far i like it a lot. Nice grippy rubber coating on the outside and its fairly thin. Makes the phone not cramp your hand
I havent seen anyone else mention this case, sorry if it was already

Got a reply, and it was worth the $40. They are sending me a vibes case, and will contact me when their new NFC compliant version of the Aura is available to send to me. I'm always willing to pay a bit extra for a good company, and I certainly wouldn't have gotten this from an ebay seller. So while I'm not thrilled with the NFC issue initially, iSkin handled it perfectly.

Confirmed-No workie!

I tried NFC today for the first time with my iSkin Aura on my Samsung Galaxy S3. It definitely does NOT work. I held it up to my Nexus 7 several times with the case on in many different positions. Damn, I really like this case too. To confirm, I took the case off and tried sending a pic from the S3 to the Nexus 7 and presto chango, there it was. Now I need to decide if NFC is going to be used enough to have me looking elsewhere for a case. Anyone with any Option "2" cases for me? Anyone want to buy a Black/Red Aura? LOL! [email protected]
Peace, Out!

Great Answer

I have it on my schedule to call them today. Thanks for the heads up. I have purchased a few products from iSkin and they have always been great to deal with. I wouldn't have known about this if I didn't try and transfer a pic to my Nexus 7 yesterday. I was like "WTF"? I know this is supposed to work. Take the case off and presto/chango it works. So now I get to call customer service and get it handled.
I'll keep you posted. :laugh::good::laugh:
