Any custom case-mate owners out there? - Vibrant Accessories

is there any custom case-mate owners out there? I am asking because i order one and this is just poorly design or they send me the wrong casing some how....
My case those not fit very well on my vibrant. Also the camera holes, screen look button, and volume buttons are not aligned and are not fitted ether. The hole for the volume and lock buttons are huge and does not look right. Also the top does not cover around the headphone jack and usb port leaving it exposed and it looks like ****.
Can any body confirm yours is the same way? a pic of it maybe?
YIA!

I just got mine today. The only thing that has put me off is the camera hole. It's not exactly center. The holes for the volume and power are purposely bigger to make them easier to press. As for the top were it doesnt cover the ports, the barely there case are like that, so it is as advertised.
I can show you pictures, but the only camera I'm not too lazy to use is my vibrants. So the pictures will be of the case off the phone.

I own three. Same thing camera hole isn't centered but everything else is the same as a regular barely there. Minus the camera hole I love it picture quality is great.

Correct me if I am wrong but the barely there case fits over the original back case right?
I order there custom vibrant case and I have to remove the back cover for it to fit... I think it suppose to be that way... but for 35 dollars and not to be align and fit well I think 35.00 dollars its a damn rip off. I open a support case with them and they are claiming that the case is fine and they need more proof so I am making them a stupid video.
Thank You for the response guys.

Right. The barely-there case fits over the battery cover.

Ok thanks for the response.
Now I wonder if the custom cases should fit over the battery cover... Can anybody clarify this?
TIA!

The custom case is just a customized barely-there case, so yes it fits over the battery cover.

Case + Holster

if anyone is interested i stumbled upon another case/holster combo on ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...012608?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a6d5e7f00
if anyone has it or has tried it please post your comments...i am searching for a good case + holster combo that has the phone facing inwards (protected)...someone else wrote a bad review about this one..i may be the guinea pig and just purchase this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Protector-C...230535?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cfc3adcc7
i know that the seidio combo is coming out soon (hopefully) im trying to find an alternative so i dont have to spend $60 on that
UPDATE: my case arrived this afternoon
First, I must say...i was skeptical about the quality of the case and holster given that it was so cheap ($13) and that the previous case/holster combo, which was mentioned, was so poorly made...this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-HARD-...511168?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43ab2ab340 (a few people commented on this one and said it was really bad)...
the case and holster are both made out of hard shell rubber...the holster has a smooth felt piece that protects the phones screen when it inside...the belt clip swivels and comes out as a kick stand...i dont know how you are supposed to use the kickstand as the phone doesnt fit inside the holster with the screen facing out...so it guess they added that feature just to say they have it? because you cannot use it at all...the case fits snugly into the holster and comes out/in very easily (and yet wont every pop out on its own, which is nice)...the 1 draw back of the case is that it offers ABSOLUTELY no protection for the screen whatsoever..if you were to drop your phone screen side down it is about as well protected as not even having a case on it at all...my TPU case has a slight bump in the front which prevents the phones screen from touching the surface (table, ground etc..)...this case DOES NOT...overall though, for the quality and price of the combo my opinion is that it is quite solid
also, if anyone has an old case...there is a chance that it might fit into the holster..i have this one...http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-S-LIN...?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4ab072b78b...and it fits however it is not a 100% match so it does move around very slightly...i dont think it will pop out though...i've tried shaking it loose and it seems to stay in pretty well..
if anyone else has bought the case and knows how to utilize the kickstand properly please let me know...the workaround (which isnt very good) is to lay the phone on bottom plastic clip in widescreen mode...i guess you can use it that way if you must...
anyway....for $13 it is worth the purchase if you are looking for a cheap case/holster combo
just so theres no confusion, this is the EXACT one that i bought

The first one looks nice. I was about to buy the one in the 2nd link but another member bought it and said the fitment was horrible and looked cheap from what I remember. I started a thread about the same holster combo.

when you put the phone in/out does it scrap against the holster? i dont want it to strip away the case

alright..thanks for the response...i just bought it as well...should get it sometime next week...i just realized there is no protection on the top or bottom? the rubber case seems to only cover the sides? should i be concerned about that?

when you put the phone on the table the lens doesnt touch, either does the screen when you lay it like that.

[Q] Diztronic case and mercury screen protector

I was wondering if anyone tried the combination of the diztronic case and a mercury screen protector. The new mercury SP's doesnt cover the entire front anymore (see picture) and was hoping the rest of the front would be covered by the diztronic case.
I have the SP and matte case diztronic, and it shows a little bit of the S3 front screen when the case is on. its unnoticeable though. I have a blue Galaxy S3 and black case, black SP.

That actually looks really nice. I really like that the screen protector covers the Samsung logo, but hate that it adds the Mercury logo to the front of the phone. I would love to have an all black S3 with no logos but, alas, I've yet to find a way to do that.

try bullkin. I think there's a thread somewhere here with a direct link to buy from china.
the only drawback is that the menu/back key barely lets the light through.
EDIT: since it ships from china, it will take a while, but i have the red one and it covers up nearly everything save a tiny sliver on one or the other side.

do you have a case on the s3 or just the sp? because i really want the diztronic case and trying to figure out which SP would be best to pair with it
I didnt order the bullkin one. I kind of prefer the mercury because its anti glare. lol.
Btw, my phones back cover has a xtremeguard back protector and when its not there, the case wraps much better on the phone and doest show the original screen of the phone

thanks a bunch. That was the one I was looking for (but in red) I know ebay has some for sale and I remembered someone here said they're buying one so i'm waiting to hear their response in regards to "lift" for the bumper.
the only thing that bothers me about that case is that it's a cutout of the buttons rather than a cover.. but that's why i'm thinking of taking apart my other case to modify to do so. I'll see if I can post results if it's successful.

this one is red.... im thinking about try it because i have the same one but the slider version and not the screw.
Let me know if it works well with the bullkin SP.
also i like the cutouts.... cases with a cover over the buttons tend to be too sensitive or impossible to press the buttons
sounds good. when i get to modding mine. i'll post a review of some sort.
oh god. that case, i have a black one of that. One of the screws goes through the hole, but this is because of the case being defective. But the piece where the screw rests, gets. The case looks good though, but the buttons are too deep in the case. You wont be able to press them with ease. Maybe when youre done modding ill try the case again.

I'll report back with pictures and a summary of what I did. I'm just waiting to hear back from the other member who was buying from the same seller.
btw, since you said you have that case, when you place the phone on its back, does the camera lens still touch the surface it's laying on or does it give abit of space?

Cruzerlite Androidified Cases

Hey my favorite case from cruzerlite is available for the Optimus G! I have one in the smoke color on the way. If you have never used one of their cases before then you are missing out. They are made of TPU with a cool design and the cutouts are perfectly cut. I've owned a bunch of their cases for my GNex, S3, One S, and Nexus 7. Now im adding the Optimus G to my collection.
Check them out here http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/lg/optimus-g/cruzerlite-androidified-a2-case-for-lg-optimus-g-sprint
I will post a review of the case as soon as I get it. Also don't mind the At&t logo on the pictures. This is indeed for the Sprint version!
Ya i saw that earlier today. I really want the CM or xda case!
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I'd love to see real life pictures! Curious about which buttons have cutouts (the diztronic I have covers the volume, but not power) and how it looks on the front of the phone. Might be trading it for one of these - I really want a blue or green case and I love the Android design on the back

So I ended up getting the flu so I didn't get to take the time to take better pictures or write up a good review. For now here are some pictures I took with my s3 and just give a brief review.
The case is thin but feels nice. It adds good grip to the phone without adding bulk. Everything fits just right. No ports or holes are off line. One thing I noticed is on the back there is a sort of wet effect between the phone and the case because the glossy back is sticking to the case. I tried to show that with a few pictures. Not an issue for me but just something to keep in mind. You can see the crystal reflection back faintly through this smoke case.
The sides have a nice ribbing for grip. There are openings for the volume and power buttons which are recessed to prevent accidentally triggering them. I was able to fit the Samsung and LG Usb cables through the microusb port cutout. The headphone cutout is big too so I was able to fit my headphone cable and aux cable easily.
The case is thick enough to reach the thickness of the camera so the phone feels all even which is great. You can put the phone down on its back without worry. On the front you might be able to see that the lip comes around enough to keep the screen from touching anything if it's set down face first. This comes at a price though, it lifts screen protectors off.
Overall the case feels great and looks great, I have their cases for all of my devices. It's very minimal in size so font expect amazing protection but for some who isn't looking for bulk this is perfect. It won't ever stick in your pocket or collect lint. It adds some grip and a cool logo on the back.
I'm still very limited writing this from bed so if anyone has questions or wants more info/pics let me know. I'll add pics of the clear one later.

Overall the case feels great and looks great, I have their cases for all of my devices. It's very minimal in size so font expect amazing protection but for some who isn't looking for bulk this is perfect. It won't ever stick in your pocket or collect lint. It adds some grip and a cool logo on the back.
I'm still very limited writing this from bed so if anyone has questions or wants more info/pics let me know. I'll add pics of the clear one later.

Cannot recommend the cheap ebay ones. This one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=231116130513
(after being shipped more than a week late) only half fits my Moto G (despite having a cutout, it obscures the power/volume buttons and hence makes operation an utterly frustating exercise)
Good leather case
I got this today, it is good, not great but cheap. But the screen protector does not fit something wrong with the dimensions I used the scissors, or maybe I could not fit properly. It folds at the back. that is nice.:good:

Hi. If you have case even leather with do cover you can use the app hovering controls. It does not work smoothly but simulates what the shell is supposed to do.
A bit annoying is that many times of you keep your hand hovering it will lock your phone disturbing what you are doing.

Ok so got a no questions asked refund. Now which one do I get instead? I want card slots, so the flip shell is out (aside of the rip off price)...

It would be great if you updated on how this goes, is there any estimated delivery date? I have been looking for a case than has separate holes for the camera/flash and have been we waiting for that one to come into stock.

I'll jump in here and say that I've had several Ringke cases and they've all been great. They are one of my favorite case manufacturers, and they're fairly inexpensive.
Edit: just ordered a clear case as well. I was going to get black, but decided I want either the red or blue shell, so the clear case will show it off.
Yes I think they has stock in clear maybe not in the other colors

My ringke slim case came in
Case looks nice doesn't feel or look cheap.
Doesn't add bulk but does make the phone little slippery in the hand
Like how it came with a screen protector and when installed don't add any glare or interfere with the quality of the screen.
And has table lay so if you lay it on the table it won't be touching the screen
And cutoff for the power button and volume button still are easy to press and don't not interfere.
Overall 9/10

Would love to see some pics of the case mate naked tough and otterbox commuter. There must be someone out there with them to take some pics or video.

There is already quite some choices and availability for Moto G cases, but none of those I can find on the Internet cover the two weak points of a phone, especially this one: the side buttons AND the screen.
The Ringke look like they are the most reliable cases, so are some rubber cases that wrap the phone in the bumper with cutouts for the Volume and Power/lock buttons but... it doesn't protect the screen as much as the flip shell does but the flip shell leaves the definitely flimsy buttons unprotected.
Isn't a case that cover both weaknesses common for other older models ?
