Body Glove Mirage Case Review (With Pictures)

I know there have been reviews for the body glove before, but my father has a captivate as well so I took the opportunity to take some pictures with it next to mine for those of you interested in the amount of bulk it ads. While it adds a little bit of thickness and length, I prefer the feel of it compared to running bare. It feels more solid, and less prone to slip in the hand. As for the fit, it is tight enough that I have no fears of it coming off unless I need it to. The feel of the materials is very nice, and it slides in and out of pockets easily. I got one off of ebay for about $10 with shipping, so for that price it's amazing, but I gladly would have payed the $25 or $30 stores are charging. Highly recommended!

have the same case and I've dropped this phone so many times at the bar... bounces rite back... i swear by it too!

While I like my Mirage, I like the cheap ebay "Argyle" TPU sleeves much more, They are slightly slimmer than the Mirage and they fit slightly snugger. For $8.53 they are well worth it.

Just an update, dropped my captivate for the first time today. It fell out of my pocket about 3 feet face up onto concrete. Luckily I had the case on and there was no damage whatsoever. There doesnt even seem to be any indication of an impact on the case. I'm very happy I got it!

Got one for xmas, I love it. gives it a little more girth and easier to hold onto. not rubbery as its a hard rubber but it does provide a little grip.
I very much suggest it for a case.

I dropped my phone today on the street and the body glove protected it real good and nothing happened...It fits the phone perfectly and snug to protect it...Without the case I would imagine some real damage might have been done to the phone...it doesn't come with a screen protector so that also needs to be addressed as well to make sure your phone is really protected.

I got 1 for myself and my son from the att store the day i got 2 captivates and i must say after holding the captivate with the case i cannot use it without a case anymore because it just feels to thin/light weird heh.

The only thing i noticed with the body glove (bought mine "OEM" off ebay) is that fitting it over the top left a slight scuff on the corner(those that are visible only at a specific angle). It might just be how i put on the case although

Just wanted to say thanks for this review with the great pics. I just bought 2 of these cases (one for me, one for my wife). Both of us love them, definitely gives the phone a better, sturdier feel to it.

+1 I can't go without the case either. It feels like it will fly out of my hand at any moment.
Wierd indeed!

I have a cheap vinyl/rubber case. And it collects dust real bad. Do you have this problem with the Body Glove?

Not at all. Doesn't collect dust, lint or anything else from being in and out of my pocket all day. FYI....you can get them fairly cheap on Ebay. Just search for "Samsung Captivate Body Glove" I got a brand new one for around $12 shipped.

Ya my father has a silicone case and I know what you're talking about, its always covered in dirt and dust. There is really no problem of that with the bodyglove except for the occasional dust collecting in the usb port, but thats expected with any case.

Not if you close the USB port cover.

This was the first case I picked up when I got my Captivate in July. Since then I have gotten other cases by Seido and Otterbox but I always come back to this one. Has a more substantial feel to it and doesn't add much bulk. Very nice case.

I think this case is really good cause you have a lot of space to press the volume button and to slide the charging thing. Definitely a great case. Got mine for about 13-14 dollar on the internet.

How easy is it to get the phone in and out of this case? I often put my phone in a Samsung dock at night. I had one of those hard shell cases, but they are a ***** to open so I pitched it.

It's not to bad it's fairly flexible material but stiffer then silicone.

I had/have one of the Incipio cases and it's nice but a royal pain to get off and it's scratched like a hockey puck now. My wife bought the pink mirage case when we got our phones and I wish I had bought my mirage case sooner. Excellent case for the Cappy IMO.

Otter box for MT4G now available

Seeing the cracked screen pictures of other's MT4g's led me to look for a good case and the otterbox I've read is regarded as the best but wasn't for sale yet.
I got an email today saying it's now ready and for sale so I thought I'd give you guys a heads up. Mine should be here in a couple of days. Fed ex 2 day shipping was only a dollar more.
http://www.otterbox.com/HTC-myTouch-4G-Commuter-Series-Case/HTC4-MTC4G-20-E4OTR_A,default,pd.html
$40 shipped. Not exactly cheap but cheaper than a new screen.

Sorry to be the bad news bear but in the accessories section there is a coupon for 10% off and free shipping.

Meh... 8 bucks not a big deal. I'll pass it on to my MT4G owning coworkers though!

When someone gets one please post a review/pics. I'd like to know how this case is and how much bulk it adds to the phone.

yea let us know about that b/c i'm currently using the body glove case and it leaves the screen open for anything to hit it lol. has all the protection in the world around sides of the phone but aint nothing protecting the screen

my only legit concern with it is whether or not it will still fit onto the charging dock with it in the protective shell.
I'm hoping that since it says the usb cable will still attach without problems, the little usb plug attached to the dock will work as well. We'll see. That'll be a buzz kill if it doesn't but oh well.

Does anyone have any more input? This seems to be the best case for the MT4G, but it'd be nice to have a little input or a review from someone who's already tried it first. I'm currently using the T-Mobile Leather Sleeve, but it'd be nice to not have to remove the phone from a case every time I want to use it.

I tried searching but this wasn't released to the public for purchase until this monday so I doubt many people have them yet.
that said, my friends that have them for iphone swear by them.

Gotcha. I'll just wait for your review then.

Installed. I screwed up the install of the screen protector. I guess I had a brain fart and tried to attach the layer that you're supposed to throw away so the side I was supposed to attach was covered in lint and dust and totally unusable.
So I had to re-attach the cheap generic walmart one back on there and now it looks like crap so I'm going to have to go by tmobile and get a real one this week.
Anyways, as far as the case goes, it's ok. The rubber is a bit more thin than what I was expecting but I think that the designer series case doesn't focus as much on the protection or something.
The case is a rubber sleeve with raised up sections for the buttons and little flaps that open for the ports and then a hard plastic piece that wraps around the entire sides of the phone but the top and bottom curved parts are only rubber.
Overall, yeah it's pretty good but I think that for what it is, it's overpriced a bit. $20 or $25 would be a much more reasonable price. I doubt this is doing much more protection than the $10 cases on amazon. Kinda makes me wish I'd gotten this one first to see how it works before the OB.
The OB for the MT3G is only $11 on amazon
Anyways, I wish I hadn't canceled my order on amazon for this.
http://www.amazon.com/Fishbone-Design-Protector-T-Mobile-Mytouch/dp/B004KAXK2Q/ref=pd_cp_cps_1
I think it would do just as good a job to be honest but I think the otterbox looks better. The one thing that I think the OB does what the others dont is that it seals up several possible route for water to get into the phone besides under the buttons on the front and the ear piece. The side buttons, usb port and headphone jack are all plugged.
Here's some pics of it.

Thanks for the write-up and pics! I'm sure I'll have more questions as time goes on, but for now, is the chrome bezel covered up by the OB or is it still exposed?

How much bulk does it add? It doesnt seem like it adds much.. hmm should I get it or stick with my TPU case which I love?? decisions decsions

a girl at our office has the TPU on her MT4G and I would say the OB is better but I don't think worth 4x the price.
Compared to the TPU, the OB covers the side buttons, usb port and headphone jack and then wraps a hard shell around the back/sides which essentially locks the gel sleeve onto the phone. It's pretty much impossible for the phone to escape without you removing the outer shell first (which is really secure)
I think that's what I like best about it. It all feels like everything is one solid cohesive unit rather than just a jelly sock wrapped around the phone.
It adds a very tiny amount of bulk but it feels very good in the hand. Solid and durable.. It doesn't feel cheap like the overpriced protective gel sleeves at the tmobile store felt. If I'm going to over pay, I at least want it to feel somewhat indicative of the price tag. I'm sure the price will go down sooner or later but honestly, even if it is a bit steep, it's a drop in the bucket compared to a replacement screen or my phone insurance's deductible.
TeeJay, yeah the chrome bezel around the camera is still visible.

Actually I was talking about the chrome that surrounds the entire display. It's probably the one thing about the phone's design that I don't like, so I'm hoping it's at least mostly covered.

Questions!!!!!!
Right now TPU Cases Have a couple of issues
1- power key hard to press
2- camera key hard to press
3- volume rocker hard to press
4- unless it is the tpu-s line it probably looks horrible despite i pay 2 bucks for it (jk lol)
@fastredponycar Can you enlight us by saying how hard it is to press those keys? even thou is suppose to be rubber, i just need to know thanks

key press is actually a lot easier now (especially the standby/power) I used to hit it by accident and turn the thing off and now with the rubber parts surrounding the buttons, you know it's there and you know if you've pressed it or not. The buttons press every time so it's not like sometimes it doesn't register you pushing the button or not.
Teejay, there's just a slight bit at the top above the ear piece that shows but on my phone, it's a dark colored chrome. not like the bright polished chrome around the camera.

Alright, cool. I don't mind the chrome around the camera, but if the chrome around the main display is covered, that'd be cool.
I know that OtterBox doesn't claim any water resistance abilities, but doesn't it seem that with so much of the phone covered, including all exposed areas like buttons and ports by the rubber grommets, that it would be resistant to wet hands and incidental splashes of water in the bathroom?

it would have to get in from seeping down between the cracks of the front buttons or through the ear piece or maybe the small pinhole on the bottom of the phone.

Just to let you guys know, I bought my Otterbox on eBay for $28 with free shipping (you have to make an offer), but the thing is you have to wait till the 3/22 till they ship it. Just a heads up for the people that are looking to save money.

Have you ever used them on anything? Just wondering if they come off without leaving gum on the phone.

Thanks. I've looked at those skins for other devices but don't know anyone who has actually tried them. They look good on the website.

These work really well. My wife has had a few different ones on her iPod and they stay put, are easy to install, and don't leave any residue. I would recommend them to anyone.

I also had one on my N1. It was pretty nice and held up well. I've actually got a couple pics of it on the eBay listing I have for it now. It was a stormtrooper with a blaster. I think they will put pretty much any pic you want on the skin.

I have used these on ipods and xbox controllers they come off just fine dirt builds up around edges a little rubbing alcohol takes it right off

and just like with cases, I imagine they don't make any for the extended battery?

Very durable.
I have one of their skins on the front of my PC (It was free when I bought it...)
Since it's vinyl and not plastic, I'm sure you could trim it with an Exacto knife to put it on an extended battery, but I know that's not the same thing.
I wonder if someone sent them an ext cover if they'd be willing to mock one up?

I've used gelaskins brand skins before and they leave no residue. Alas, none available for TB yet. If these are similar vinyl I wouldn't think residue would be much of an issue.

Does it stick against clothes? I'm thinking about it, but I wouldn't get it if it makes hard to take out of my pocket.

My company gave skinit's out for its last birthday and I picked up one for my old moto droid. They work fine, they don't peel at the edges, no residue, no issues taking it in and out of my pocket. Only problem I had was with the front panel sticker, it didn't seem to fit as well as I would have liked, so I ditched it.
I eventually got bored of it and just peeled all of it off, came off in one quick peal.
One thing to note (iirc) the front sticker covers the softkeys in the front bottom. I didn't use this on the moto droid so I can't say anything about it affecting usage.

The gelaskins for the TB are out, but they do not include a front sticker, it seems.

i'm using a real dry carbon fiber skin from skinomi... fits perfect and looks slick

I had a skin on my EVO I believe was from DecalGirl, but the edges of the stickers raised a little, so after a few weeks it took extra effort not to accidentally peel them off. Could be fixed by making them thinner, tapering the edges, or overdosing the edge with adhesive. Are these better?
Sent from my T-Bolt

I have been using since original post no peeling at all and my phone goes in and out of my pocket alot. For application I did wipe my phone well with alcohol taking off the oil from my hands
It does not affect usage of my front buttons. Although it does diminish the light.
Every sticker fit perfectly on the phone not to big or small.

How do you think this skin would work if I used my phone in a case sometimes? Would it play nicely or do you think it would be a problem? (Yes, I realize the silliness in putting a case on a phone with a skin - I personally use my phone both with a case, sometimes, and naked at other times.)

I have had the same skin installed on my phone, it fits fine in the case-mate pop case. I haven't had any issue with it or with the car mount.
I had to exchange my TB just last week and it took some real effort to actually peel off the skin. I am getting a second set for the new unit soon.
PS. I think the phone wit skin would fit fine in a soft/rubber/gel case but hard case like seidio surface which is very tight fitting. I think that will create an issue.

I would say it would fit easily inside almost all cases maybe even all.
It's less then 1/16th in thickness
If I still had a micometer I would check it for you but its really not serious.

Skin makes it difficult to put on a hard case... Even though it is not very thick it still makes it difficult to put a hard case on and if you do use it with a hard case the case will screw up the skin and put creases on the skin as well as scratch marks on the skin.

Rearth Ringke Atrix Case Review

So I got contacted in a PM from this person asking me if Id be willing to check out their case. I saw they only had one post and I thought it was spam at first. Im used to getting PM's about getting free iPad's and whatnot so I figured this was part of the mix. They wanted my name and address to ship me a case to try and review. Cant trust anyone these days asking for your personal information right?
Then I clicked the link under the signature of the sender. Rearth was the company I got linked to. I had never heard of this company before and wasnt sure if I was still involved with a ruse or not. Then I did some digging and found that this was a new company to the US making cases for popular phones and other devices.
I figured why not and PM'd back my information. I promptly got an email thanking me for taking part of the review process and was given a tracking number for the case.
Unfortunately, they put my address on the shipment incorrectly. I watched the shipment daily in my tracker as it went from their warehouse, to my local post office, only to see the next label as shipped back to sender for bad address. Oh well, I thought it was too good to be true and was still under the impression it was too good to be true.
I emailed the person I was in contact with what had happened and they apologized and said a new case was being shipped out immediately. Needless to say, a new one was shipped and I actually received it today.
After all the said and done, the first word I can use to describe the case is "Impressive".
The packaging was very nice and was able to see the case distinctly through the packaging. When I opened up the box, a little bag fell out with the case. This is apparently something exclusive to Rearth that I hadnt seen before but is one of those "Duh, why didnt I think of that" type things. The bag contained two little audio jack caps(one white and one clear). They fit very nicely into the audio jacks and are flush with the case when its all installed. I very rarely use my audio jack so it was nice to have something to close it up so lint or other stuff dont get inside.
I didnt have choice of color for the case but luckily I am a fan of yellow and it looks good on the phone. First thing I noticed about the case was how flexible it is and yet protective feeling at the same time. There are many flexible cases on the market that slip over the phone and feel like they would tear within a matter of days and justify the $1.99 you paid on ebay for it. This case however is not in the same league, its way above that.
The case is made from a very high quality silicone and it really feels like it. I really like that its got a texture to it but its not sticky either. Its hard to describe in words. Its slippery enough to slide in and out of your jean pocket easily without pulling out lint(a la Otterbox), but has a very fine coarseness to it that fingers cling to so that it wont be dropped too easily either.
Im used to using hard cases on all my phones that clip in and out of a holster(Seidio cases specifically) so this is my first experience using a softer silicone case. I like that it fits the phone perfectly without any flimsiness. The volume buttons are covered, but raised to feel the individual up and down, but the cutouts for all the other parts are precision cut. The cutout for the fingerprint reader is angled properly all the microphone and speaker ports are perfect. And like I previously mentioned, having the little cap in the audio port matches up perfectly and is a great feature. This little cap I have found, will work with other cases as well.
After using this case for much of the day I feel that I will be using this more and more as my daily case instead of the Seidio. I really like that the Seidio fits into the belt clip perfectly but I dont use that too often. And the Rearth case seems like it might protect it better with my daily tossing and dropping of the phone than the hard Seidio case.
Dont get me wrong, I still love my Seidio cases, but if I were going to put my money down on a silicone case for my phone or other device, it would definitely be from Rearth. I highly recommend this case to anyone in the market for a moderately priced silicone case. Keep an eye on this company, they are here to stay.

Nice review man.

I have the same case in blue this would also be my first soft case coming from cases like otterbox and Speck, this company is here to stay im impressed and i recommend it to all my friends who want a good case 5 out of 5 stars

I ordered one after reading some reviews on here. Good strategy on their part.

I also just ordered one. I have always like silicone vs the hard case.

LOVE this case in black! Has some texture to it, you may or may not like it, but I do. Very slim, will update tomorrow confirming with the car dock fit. Charging dock only really works with top plate removed.

Sorry, answered in a different thread. It physically fit inside the car dock, activates car mode with the clip secured, but the lip of the top clip doesn't reach to the face of the phone, it grips the top of the phone ok.

Not sure why you used all caps...but seriously...contact them? 2 months is actually a decent amount of time for a silicone case...

Incipio Case vs. OtterBox Commuter (Thoughts on Incipio)

So, I bought the Otter Box Commuter case first sometime last year and was satisfied, but the only thing that bothered me was the fact that it covers the hard buttons and I couldn't see what I was clicking at night and mind you, I just got my DROID X. Now, I can click buttons with my eyes close, lol. Then I searched online how a lot of people were giving good feedback about this Incipio Case and how affordable it was. I was sold for it, because I noticed how it didn't cover the hard buttons, which is what I was looking for.
I bought two Incipio cases off the site, one a black on black and the other a black on red case. It looked beautiful when I got them and tried them on, I liked the black on black more, looked more sleek and a look like the otterbox commuter but slimmer, but the black and red, the red is not as royal bright red as expected to be, as it shows on the site, but it was still a cool case and it was fun switching each other from time to me. The OtterBox was thrown back to its box and stopped using it for good. After a couple months, I noticed that the Incipio case comes off from each others layer and what I mean is that the Incipio case is a two layer case, one a soft rubbery layer and the other a hard shell that goes in the outside, kind of like the otterbox commuter. So, I noticed that it wouldn't stay fit after a while, but it was no biggie at that time, still loved it and was my favorite case. After a few months, the hard shell on the right bottom corner it cracked, and I hardly drop my phone but I think I drop it in the bathroom like a 3 feet high distance, but it was a small chip crack on the right bottom corner. So, I switched to my other extra one and both had the same problem, same place and all. After a while, it got worse, it broke and it look like a tear and then it came off on one of them, the other was still good just a small crack. So, I used the other one which was in better condition and here's the best story of this review:
After sitting in my couch, infront of the tv, I put my DROID X phone with the incipio case on-- on the arm rest of the couch and then suddenly it falls to the floor flat. I was doing a nandroid back up, so I just put it there temporary and I hardly drop my phone, I really try to take care of my phone. So, when I pick the phone up from the floor I looked at it and I didnt see anything cracked and was expecting that because I have it on a case and that's why I bought it for, for protection. But mind you, it was on Clockworkmod mode which the screen is black and the text is blue so once it booted to the home screen and i try to take a pic of my puppy. I see these black spots on the center of the screen like ink colored lines then after a while, it started to spread all over the screen horizontally. The screen is not cracked but i think the lcd screen inside is and it needs a replacement.
I was pissed off and called Incipio to see what they can do for me because I could have sworn they guaranteed protection of your phone. So, I called them and they said that unfortunately they don't cover the phone itself just if the case is cracked and their is nothing Inicipio can do for me. What a piece of garbage case this is, I thought to myself. Now, I have to buy the LCD screen online and look for a repair tech which they charge me to install it is $60 plus the cost of the part and Incipio won't give you credit for anything.
Incipio warranty: Compared to Otterbox's warranty is far beyond better than Incipio's, because with Otter Box (and I've experienced both warrantys and I have both cases) you just call in and they answer fast they ask you a few questions like your address where to ship the replacement at and what model is it and phone and then voila, a couple days in the mail you get you're case without even spending any money or time on sending the defective one. Now with Incipio, you have to fill out a form online, then you submit it until it gets approved. Once it's approved, you send yours back and you have to pay for the shipping charges, no prepad/return label here and then you have to wait until they sent you a new one 7-14 days after they have received yours. You'll be caseless.
My conclusion is, if you want an eye-candy, cute case and not concerned about protection, then go with incipio is all artificial and eye-candy. If you want a good strong case, but yet stylish and sleek, go with Commuter case. Incipio cases are vulnerable to break, crack, and more. Only thing of otterbox is, hard buttons are covered and i didnt like that but i got used to it. Commuter, it feels strong safe, secured a real good case. otterbox is way better than incipio, switching from otterbox commuter to incipio is a big downgrade.
Though Incipio's warranty is lifetime in incipio u have to fill out a form online and then wait to get approved compared to otterbox is quick fast and they do all that for u over the phone without u filling anything out n u sending the case and waste shipping

I am now selling two brand new sealed incipio case as soon as I get the replaced ones from them. I am selling them for $10 each, black/black and black/red or both for $20 shipped. On their site, is $13 and on ebay the lowest one is $22 each and up. I accept Paypal, you still would have the life time warranty through me by giving you the invoice/receipt that I got from them that I purchased from them, but all they ask the invoice number and date of purchase which i still have.
Please feel free to criticize my writing, grammar, and punctuation's. I would love to be corrected so that I can learn how to write properly.

u != you ;-)
Nah, I was just messin' with you.
Your grammar is quite good, but the plural of punctuation is just punctuation.
Sad story, sucks about your phone.
