White Silicone case vs Black Silicone case

I've been able to compare both colors in my Universal. The reason, I ordered a white Silicone case - as my model is silver/white color - in Ebay, and received from Hong Kong a black one... damm it!... but the sellers' reaction was pretty good and fastly sent me a new white one as well.. good seller.
In the end, I have both colors..
I thought white color (cream, almost transparent) was gonna fit in much better than the black one, but must admit the black one is much more beautiful. it makes it aparently more compact, nicer, even though mine is sylver.
In the end, if I had to choose again, I'd choose Black, despite it is a bit dirtier than the white one, and gets more dust.
the only thing I am a bit dissapointed at is that Sil. cases don't really protect your UNIV. from almost any fall down or so, they are so thin!..

jmcl, where did you order it from? do you have any pictures of it?
thanks.

I am in Spain, bought it from Hong Kong. I think you can also buy it from there, but not sure about that.

I have the black silicone case and am really happy with it. I ordered the black one from ebay and it came just as promised from Bangkok to the Netherlands without probs. Ordering from ebay was also easy using paypal that also has some buyer protection. I also thought the black would look weird with my silver universal, but it looks really good, it's a nice combination. I decided to go with this one over the boxwave silicone cases because I didn't like the pictures. They showed that the cut-outs were off and didn't show the way a universal looked normally (only portrait mode and poorly at that). Google for silicone case, dopod 900 and find a site called pda4thai and find some nice pics of the black case.
In use I can recommend a silicone case. It may not protect well against a good fall, but it will certainly help prevent one for me. When handling my universal I have a good amount of grip on it, whether closed or open, thus preventing it from sliping out of my hand or off of a table. Also it protects my device well from any dirty/fatty fingers that you may have.
As to transporting capabilities, I use the silicone case in combination with the piel frama pouch case (with the silicone case on the universal slides in slowly, but surely) and then use the headset to receive calls/listen to music.

Just change .ebay.es to .ebay.com (or whichever country you are in!) and you can then purchase that item with your ebay ID...

Read before buying Tmobiles Gel Case.

So I did a little research last night on the Gel Case Tmoblie is selling for the price of $18 around here in NYC. While they were all out of black (at least the ones I checked) I hit the good ol' Internets and found something surprising.
Amazon carries the same exact case for $10 in a plethora of colors that Tmobile does not offer.
The companies name is "Amzer". A person posted pictures of the case on amazon and it indeed confirmed it for me. It has the same look and feel (yah I know I did not touch it but it looked like it did.) as the Tmobile branded version.
I saw in the T-Mobile gel skin (Black) thread Aeson asked about the manufacturer. So here is your answer.
Indeed these are Amzer rebranded cases for $10 a pop at amazon.
LINKS BELOW!!!!!!!
Amazon
Amzer
Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: My research can be wrong. Amzer might have a slightly different case then Tmobile. Just a heads up before you buy and end up getting the wrong case and try blaming it on me.

so..
Usually ships within 1 to 3 months with free shipping or
8/3 + $4.99 shipping or
Now with instant gratification for $16.99?
I already have mine. This is what happens when you have no protection

But this is a good bit of information no less. I don't think it'll stop people from buying it in the store.

these aren't available yet (till the 3rd)..these have been discussed in other threads as well.. but some prefer being able to pick one up in store after trying it out
speaking of Amzer.. is it just me or does this NOT have a cutout for the speaker?!? lol

Yea I saw that but I thought I would provide the info just in case (no pun intended) wanted different colors because I saw a lot of people asking for different colors like white. I myself would love a white one. Also They have been pretty difficult to find over here especially the black one but I do understand where you are coming from. I will buy a black on from tmobile and a white one from Amazon.

Yah I don't know if those are final or pre production images but if not than that case is a total fail! It's very ugly too I hate how it covers the ear piece part.
but these are the cases you are looking for

I just ordered it yesterday. Since t-mo stores are all out of stock. Hopefully they ship soon or before 8/3 or else would suck.

I bought a black gel skin from T-Mobile and it's actually really nice. A LOT better than the blue gel skin I got for my myTouch 3G at launch. I got the last one at a T-Mobile store 20 minutes away from me (my local one ran out) and I was at another store yesterday and it looked like they just got a new shipment of them cause they had about 5 blacks and one light blue, which was kind of nice, but I preferred the black, so it looks like they're getting more colors in eventually.

Can anyone confirm that Amazon is actually shipping these, in spite of the "Usually ships within 1 to 3 months" statement? I'd really prefer to order a few things from Amazon together w/ free shipping instead of different vendors.

Between my wife and I we just ordered 4 different cases from Amzer. Originally saw them on Amazon but was turned off by the 1-3 month comment. Amzer says that they will be shipping on the 3rd and the price was the same so I just went with them.

How can you say this? They clearly are NOT the same case.... I love the one I picked up from T Mobile~

Nearly all of T-Mobile's accessories are re-branded versions of some 3rd-party accessory. T-Mobile just sells them for a lot more money.

True, but these are, in fact, different. Close, probably, but not the same.
I may still grab a white one, for when I'm just feeling something different than black.

I just noticed that amzer and amazon have both changed their pictures of these cases. The pictures that were posted when I ordered the cases last weekend looked identical to the tmobile case. The pictures that are posted now do not. This should be interesting to see what actually shows up on my doorstep.

Yea I noticed that as well so I added a disclaimer to the OP. So no one goes raging at me threatening to kill me lol.

I highly recommend NOT getting the Amzer case. I as well was duped. I ordered the white one last week got it in yesterday and I do not like it at all. The volume buttons seem slightly easier to push but the power button is not. It is very loose on the phone, like ridiculously loose. T-Mobile one is alot better.

I got the gray Amzer case today and I am satisfied with it. I mean for $10 its a good temporary case. It's not THAT loose. It does the job. For me the power/volume buttons are just as easy to press even though they are covered. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions though.
Took 3-4 business days to get here on super saver shipping.

anybody tried one of these cheapies yet?

Looks like I will be waiting for mine for awhile. I ordered a couple of the solid color jelly cases, which are in stock, but I also ordered a couple of the Luxe Argyle skin cases. Those aren't supposed to ship until the 17th. Oh well, I guess I didn't realize they would hold the entire shipment until they could fill everything.
My wife bought a tmobile case in the meantime, so at least I can do a good side by side comparison when the amzer cases come in.

yeah i ordered the one from amzer... talked to a buddy at a tmobile and he was "welll you can get it and just return it if you get the case with in 30 days" went home and saw amzer updated pictures.. cancled the order and just took the dive.. the case from tmobile is perfect i dont mind dropping 20 bucks to keep my expensive phone safe

Hadn't seen this posted yet anywhere...
T-Mobile is finally showing these cases as available for order on their website. Black, teal and a different chrome/black case that looks pretty nice. Still waiting for my Amzer black...sorta wish I'd waited now. I really like the look of these.

Vinyl Skins for Archos 101/70

Hi guys. I posted this in General this morning, but I think this is a better place... if a mod sees this please move/delete the post in General.
Check this: http://www.decalgirl.com. I know this place from some time already when I bought them for my iPod.
They make vinyl adhesive covers for almost every device in the world, and some of them look really cool, specially the rugged ones. The material (rugged) has very good quality and they send it by regular mail including a key to download the desktop wallpaper that fits EXACTLY with the design, making the customization very good.
Its very easy to place as the adhesive material which is made of can be placed and removed as many times as you need, and it will keep your device away from dirt and scratches. You can even have more than one and switch them when you want, as they're easy to remove and they can be placed again even if several days/weeks have passed.
Yesterday I went to check if they had covers for the Archos 70IT, and found they only have for the 10.1, the 4.3 and the old archos as the 7HT, that's slightly different from 70IT, so they wouldn't fit.
I posted a "Device Suggestion" asking them if they would support the Archos 70IT in a near future, and this is their reply:
We do not have that device currently. What I can do though is have it added to our list of devices to discuss with our development team.
If the device is really being marketed or we get a great response from consumers there may be a great chance we will do it.
We release about 4-5 devices per month so are always looking for devices to bring in.

Maybe if enough of us ask them to make it, they will do... I would love to get covers for the A70IT cause they make it look really cool and customized. Will anyone lend a hand and help me asking them to make it?
Cheers

They seem expensive at $20. For press/apply vinyl, I wouldn't expect to pay more than $5. There are folio cases available in the $20 range, after all.

I agree they're expensive.. but anyway, folio cases and this kind of vinyl skins are not the same animal...
Guess you're paying the design and giving your device a "unique" or "cool" looking more than protecting it...
Cheers

Skinomi has skins that come with screen protectors. They have clear, carbon fiber, and natural wood skins. Unfortunately the carbon fiber and the wood skins for the 70 still show out of stock when you try and order them. I plan on getting the dark wood skin once they are available. 24.95 for the 70 skin and you can usually find a coupon to use with the purchase with a quick Google search. They also have a lifetime replacement guarantee.

Skinomi is finally are showing the Carbon Fiber and Natural Wood skins for the 70s as in stock. Just ordered the Dark Wood skin. They are $24.95, used the coupon code "get25" to save 25% and it was free shipping. All together cost $18.71.

Hello,

They're still shipped from CA in the States, so, shipping still remains good fun../

UK Accessories thread

Its hard to find the threads relevant to you so I though I would start one for people in the UK.
Please post links and mini reviews to items you have bought or seen.

Has anyone had experience with these ecell leather cases?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COFFEE-BROWN-ANYMODE-ROTATING-LEATHER-CASE-FOR-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-NOTE-10-1-N8000-/390496797674?pt=UK_iPad_Tablet_Cases_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item5aeb6c43ea
Seems cheap for a real leather case

I bought this screen protector (pack of 2) from Media Devil "MediaDevil Magicscreen Screen Protector: Crystal Clear (Invisible) edition". I can't post links, but it's available from their website, eBay and Amazon. MediaDevil are also a UK company.
The quality of it is amazing, I can't even tell it's on the screen. It also doesn't affect the S-Pen which is great. I highly recommend it, though I admit it's price might put people off (currently about £15).

I have paid more for screen protectors for phones.
I usually get dust under them though when fitting them.
I will look these ones up now.
I just ordered that case I linked to on ebay.
Have you got any other accessories ?

Nothing yet. I'm getting this case (search ebay for 261097757601), but for Christmas, so I won't be able to comment until then I looks like a clone of the Official Book Cover - hopefully the quality is ok.

Specific Case Requirements!

Hi guys, I'm about to make the plunge and buy a Note sometime this week from a local store (offer is on, cant miss out!)
However, the only case they sell is pretty...meh. So I'm going to have to order one online.
The one I use on my current ipad1 is a Mophie folio case like this: http://www.avenueapplemac.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/mophie-workbook-iPad_2.jpg
Its a different version for my iPad one, but basically the same. Im looking for another one like it for the Note.
Requirements:
- Folio/flip cover style, to protect the screen when not in use (I dont want to use screen protectors)
- Some way to keep the flap closed. The mophie has the elastic strip which works perfectly, and tucks behind the tablet when its open. Magnets will not be any good, as I hear they interfere with the SPen...
- Should go without saying, but good quality workmanship. Holes all lines up, that sort of thing.
I did look through the cases threads, but a lot of them were back-only plastic cases, or a variety of cheap ebay cases (which in my experience can be very hit-and-miss when it comes to build accuracy).
Amazon searches came up with a couple decent looking cases, but with no shutting mechanism... Worst comes to worst I'll buy a big elastic strap to go round it, but I'd rather not.
Oh yeh, and the other issue was that a few of the promising cases dont exist in the UK amazon store, I guess they are from american companies or something. So a UK sourced recommendation would be nice!
Anyone got any recommendations? Otherwise I shall go for something like...
