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.

Seidio Innocase Active X - got mine today

I had this case for my incredible and absolutely loved the look, feel and protection. So last week i pre-ordered the thunderbolt active x case from seidioonline. One thing i really like about this case is the feel of the power and volume buttons. Without a case its very hard to tell if you're pressing them. The case is very easy to put on, rubber case first then the plastic shell to hold it together. It also fits (barely) in my verizon droid x leather pouch i use at work which is a big plus. The kickstand is a little harder to open but not to bad. The only bad thing is its a little pricey at $37 shipped but i had to have this case.

I had this on my incredible and loved it, great protection and looks sweet. Looking forward to getting it for my TB. I think they make great products as far as durability and style. If you want indestructible then otterbox is your friend.

I had the active for my Evo as well, with the same breaking tab problem. I'll wait for otterbox, and hopefully it won't take them as long to get out some product as it did with the evo.

i can see the ends breaking if u take the case off the phone a lot. the plastic shell on this one is a bit thinner than the incredible active shell.

I have it on mine right now and its actually really nice. If you push on the sides to raise the tab when taking it on and off you wont break the tabs.
I dropped my TB about 3 feet today onto rugged sidewalk and not a nick on the case. Worth the few bucks!
sent via r00t3d TB - thx jcase!

Thanks for the pics and impressions. I'm still not sure about this case yet though. Might wait it out a little longer. I desperately want rid of this case I got from VZW though.

I'm a big fan of the case-mate tough, it's a similar style to this case with a bit more texture on the back piece for grip, plus I feel like the build quality is a little higher, here's hoping they make one for the TB!

I got mine from bestbuy for 50. Same case just different brand.

I ordered this case , just waiting to get it. Just curious, did they include a screen protector with it?

Think i may just get the cheapo $5 case on amazon with the hopes that otterbox releases their case soon. I have had much better luck with otterbox than seidio plus they seem to be a bit thinner and mold to the device more snugly.

I actually prefer the Tough Case over my Otterbox Commuter. The Tough Case's texture is perfect. The OB is slippery.
Case Mate isn't too responsive though. Maybe if we create a petition?

Case recommendations

I currently have a TPU s-line case that I bought a couple of months ago. Its been really good but now its kind of stretching out and not feeling tight on the device like it used to. I bought it for like 5 bucks so overall happy with what I paid for. Now im looking for something with a bit more quality and better looking. Any good recommendations? Can be tpu, gel, hard case doesnt matter. Anything except thick cases like an otterbox. Could you please just link case and pro/cons and possibly pics Thanks.

Bro i'm using The Otterbox commuter series my Sprint representative told me that they were the "Micheal Jordan" of phone cases, & It has triple layer protection & it comes with a nice screen protector, My phone feels like the terminator now. & i ****ing love it. about $30.00 to $35.00 bucks for the case combo but it will be well worth the money trust me.

When you have time, would you mind sharing a few pics? I want to see how thick the phone is with it? Thank for your input, price has dropped so there a bit cheaper now.

Go ballistic about 15-18 bucks amazon
From the 2nd galaxy

I use a Trident Aegis. Got it for $17 on Amazon. I like that part of the rubber sticks out the back, gives a little more grip on the phone than the Otterbox Commuter does.

My Trident Aegis saved my phone over the weekend. Had it up on a shelf streaming Pandora while cleaning garage then I accidentally knocked it off. I saw in slow motion as the phone headed towards the ground. Luckily it hit on a corner bumper and bounced and landed face down. No problems or scratches from a 6 foot drop.

Thanks for the input guys.

Trident Aegis is boss.
that is all

I'm using the Otterbox Defender series. It's very bulky, but imo it's one of the best cases in terms of protection. I asked the sprint guy what the best case was and without missing a beat he grabbed his epic in the defender and threw it across the sales floor. It scared me to death when he threw it lol. But he sold me on it right there.

Trident Aegis hands down. I used to have the same case you did, but I decided to get something with a little more protection. Never looked back.

What he (and they) said! I did a bunch of research on cases before I bought mine, and ended up with the Trident Aegis. I wanted something that didn't add too much bulk but provided good enough protection for moderate distance drops--and the TA is it! It's also a very nice looking case, and fits very snug. My 1 year old son loves phones, and he pulls my girlfriend's iphone case off every time he plays with it--but even though he tries and ties, he has yet to pull mine off =) I highly recommend it.

OK guys I went ahead and went with a Trident Aegis that should be here by Friday. Offers more protection than a TPU case but doesn't add too much thickness. Thanks for the input guys, appreciate it.

I'm quite fond of the Otterbox Commuter cases. I don't like the one I have for this phone as much as I liked the Galaxy Nexus case, but I have no complaints.
It's a nice, snug fit and the material on the back is a really slick, textured, hard plastic that allows it to slide in and out of your pockets without catching. PICTURE

I just got the Otter Box defender last week. They aren't too thick. With as thin as this phone is, the case makes it more normal. Doesn't add much weight either. It was 39 at Best Buy. I seen them on Amazon for roughly the same after shipping. Looks good too, not like the trident cases with the ugly bumps on the corners.

I looked at the otterbox commuter series as well.. it doesn't have the mesh covers for the microphone and speakerphone which is a big plus for the Aegis since I always have my phone in my pocket.
Also, the Trident Aegis doesn't have bumps on the corners.. it is completely uniform all the way around the phone.. it may look like there are bumps in pictures, but that's just because of the slight two-tone color from the two piece design. I think it looks nicer than the Otterbox Commuter, but that's just personal preference =)

Anyone got this case? It seems awfully similar to an Otterbox Commuter, but possibly less bulky due to the silicon an acrylic portions being joined as one. I was just wondering how it compares as far as shock/drop protection.
**Update 6.29.12**
Got my phone and case yesterday and here's my review on it
Not gonna be long winded here, just short and to the point. The silicone sleeve fits perfectly although the lack of the hard plastic shell extending over the top and bottom parts of the sleeve do allow for the sleeve to be pushed back in those areas if you were to say, put the phone in the pocket of your skinny jeans. Glad I don't have to worry about that as nothing about me is skinny, not even my jeans. Once the sleeve is on, the hard plastic shell snaps into place much easier than that of the Otterbox, and you don't have to worry about trying to get the shell over the buttons like on the Otterbox either. The shell has a matte look and feel to it, looks very sexy and feels good too but the finish is a bit too smooth/slippery IMO. The Otterbox on my Atrix 2 was just plastic and it was much less slippery when holding it. The thing that surprised me the most is how little bulk it adds to the phone and how little lint the silicone sleeve attracts. I wear cargo pants at work, cream colored one's, and I keep the phone in one of the side pockets...the sleeve on my Otterbox would attract lint from them, although it was cleaned away by simply blowing on the effected area right quick. I've had this phone in and out of my pocket all day and it's relatively lint free. With the case all installed the power and volume buttons are very easy to press, even allowing you to hear and feel the "click" of each press, it feels as if you don't even have anything covering the buttons. The cut outs for the charger/headphone jack ports and the microphones are precise and spot on allowing unobstructed access to them all.
The only things I would change is I would make the shell a different texture, something with a bit more grip and I'd add covers/plugs for the charger/headphone jack ports so they are protected when not in use. Other than that, a great case that hopefully won't get tested for durability anytime soon
I'd recommend this case for sure, it's sleek and sexy and adds to the look of this sexy beast of a phone. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 9.

i just ordered one yesterday.

+1. I've got an otter box commuter on my captivate and after trying several cases, I kept coming back to the commuter. If this is similar and only one piece, I'd be very interested in it for my future phone (s3)

I checked out some videos on youtube and this case is pretty much their version of the Otterbox, the main difference is this one doesn't have covers for the charger and headphone jacks. Check the video
I think i'm gonna get this case instead of the Otterbox. I liked the Incipio case I had for my Sony Ericcson x10i and since the Otterbox isn't set to be released until July I figured this would be the way to go. Amazon has them for $24.38 shipped

These were both linked previously. I just wanted to put them here for ease of viewing.
I like how the NGP is thinner and less bulky but don't know if it will provide enough drop protection.

I've had a Silicryllic on a Gnex and HTC Titan...
Very good case for protection, definitely will take a pretty big hit as it has some give in it to absorb shock. Also gives the screen some decent face down protection too as it comes around the side better than most hard cases. It's no defender, but it's much more pocketable on those two 4.7" devices.
The only issue I ever had was the rubber catches more pocket lint than most cases, but that's just a quick cleaning every week or two, or just hit the shirt once a day with it.
EDIT: I'll probably get one for this eventually as I like to have a thin everyday case (already ordered a Rock quicksand) to protect against everyday scratches when setting it down/falling out of hand, etc, and a bulkier one for events, outdoor stuff, or just yardwork/housework/garage days.

Thanks for the link! I was about to pull the trigger on this Candyshell by Speckproducts but they are out of stock of the black so I ended up buying the Incipio instead.

Looks like an Otterbox knockoff, but at $12.00 shipped it's gonna be hard to pass up for those looking for a case with great shock/drop protection qualities

I ordered 2 of those from Amazon and should be here Tuesday and Friday. It seems there's a delay on the white one. I had Ballistic case before on my Amaze 4G and have dropped it from about where my pocket is and not a scratch on the phone. I hope this case offers the same protection as it cost less than $30 shipped for both.

I like how the hard shell wraps around the sides, unlike the Incipio. I don't like the giant hole for the camera, speaker, and flash. Three separate holes would be better. I guess it's cheaper to make one big hole. For that price, though, I'm interested in reading some reviews!

Thank you for the information about this case. I ordered one through the link you provided.

I received my black/black Acase today and i must say that not only it looks thin still, but also feels better protected compared to thin cases. Its like having otterbox but a lot less bulky. Still waiting for the white/black version and then I'll take pics to post.

Give us pics now! Please ? I'll order one if its nice.

The Black/Black is exactly like the one in the first post. I ordered a second one which is White/Black. I will post pictures of boths for comparison. Meantime, you can check them out here.

Looks almost exactly like the incipio case I just got but a little bit bulkier at the lip/rim.... But for 12 bucks not a bad trade off.

Hi I had a quick question my friend got the Acase for his iphone but one thing I noticed was the backing or hard shell was really slippery which made him return it in the end. Hows the hard part on this is it a smooth plastic or slippery?

Yeah I see what you are talking about

I had this case for my 3D and it worked very well, it cracked around the bottom on the hard shell but this was after many falls and some abuse. I am ordered one now and recommend them, last I remember is that the back side is smooth but not all that slippery.
On a side note if anyone is getting their phone from Best Buy they have a special going on where you get a Zagg screen protector and the Platinum Case with a separate swivel holster for $40. Case alone was $35 bucks, I will try to take some pics later.

I got this the other day and really like it (especially for the price). I was a big fan of the Case-Mate Tough Case for my iPhone 4 previously and this is very comparable. The biggest thing I've noticed about this case is the indent below the home button. This is a HUGE feature to me because it makes hitting the, fairly small, home button easy.
I had stupidly bought a Ballistic Case from the store and the lip on the front was so bulky it almost ran flush with the bottom of the home button and made it really hard to press naturally. I wrote a review on amazon for the black version with pictures.
For the price this thing is awesome. I'm thinking of getting the white/black one now that's its available on amazon.
