Is there a neoprene sleeve out for the Droid X yet? I have a Nexus One that I use for work and it came with a sleeve that is easily slides in and out of. Looking for something similar for the DX for the times when I want to throw it into my laptop bag or backpack.
I came from an N1 as well and wanted the same thing, but couldn't find anything so I made one out of duct tape, lined with material from an old T-shirt.
It sounds funny, but it actually works REALLY well.
Here's some pics:
Wow, that actually looks well made! gj

Wow!!..Two things...you're a cheapskate (much like myself...LOL), and you're super talented It looks really good!

I'm looking for the same thing. I have yet to find one but I'm going to order one of these for $10 till a real one comes out.
If I order it next week it will still get here before my phone does from Verizon.
(also apparently can't post links.)

1) This is true.
2) Thanks
I've been using this for a few weeks now and it's actually a really good case.
If you guys have a spare T-shirt (or sock) and some duct tape, I actually do recommend making one of these.
Maybe I'll make a how-to video.. haha
I've been using the sleeve from sfbags.com for about 2 weeks now. Its pretty decent, a thin sort of grippy material so the phone doesnt slip out on its own, but doesnt grip enough that it causes a problem trying to remove it from the sleeve. Main reason I bought it was so it wouldnt get scratched in my pockets from my keys or change and it does well with that. If you ever had a G1 its almost like the sleeve that came for that with less padding. Also I've dropped it on the asphalt already, so the material was thick enough to protect it from a dent, gouge or broken screen thankfully.
Just a word of warning. I just got a "Tune Belt Sport Armband for HTC EVO 4G" today. It fits the DX fairly well. I went for a one hour run and after when I was taking the DX out of the sleeve, the clear plastic of the sleeve stuck to my Zagg Invisible Shield and started pulling it off. End result is now I have a big crease in the Invisible Shield. I'm thinking of cutting the plastic out of the Tune Belt and see how that works. I also just got a waterproof Dry Case for the DX, I'm wondering if that's going to cause the same problem.

Gaffers tape might be a more durable solution?
Sunglass Micro Fiber Pouch
Why not just use that Micro Fiber Pouch that they give you when you buy a pair of nice sunglasses. Not only can you throw it in there but you can tie it so it doesn't fall out. You can use it to clean the screen. They might even be able to give you one for free.

THIS!
I've been using an Oakley MicroFiber pouch since like the 2nd week I got the device and it fits perfect and it's great! Cost me like $6.
I took part in a weekly draw for winning an iPad through ZAGG.com few weeks ago and got a 50% discount code for it (nice).
I had bought a cheap black silicon case and a plastic shield for the screen for about 2$ on ebay first when I got my wildfire, but I decided to use the discount code and bought me a FULL body protection invisible shield from ZAGG.
I got it via mail few days ago (took 8 days getting it to Denmark) and I began to install it on my phone.
Before I began I had surfed throughout the net trying to find a good guide on how to install it correctly, because I'd heard of people breaking their phone from doing it totally wrong, or even destroying their new shield.
But I ended up using one of ZAGG's own video guides on their webpage.
It took me about 2 hours!! To get it onto my phone, it was a little hard to get all these small parts to sit together, with water solution all over my fingers... but It worked. After that I used an method I saw one guy use on his iPhone, by wrapping the phone corners into kitchen plastic (don't know what its called, you know that sticky plastic) because they need to be well pressed down to look good.
The phone has to dry for about 12-15 hours before you use it.
Well now my phone looks amazing with this full maximum body coverage, with no extra case around it that makes the phone look big or ugly and did i mention, military SCRATCH proof... think it should handle minor drops as well.
I totally recommend this product from ZAGG, check it out!
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-wildfire-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
Cheers!
I have installed an Invisible shield also. Looks very nice. It took me 30 minutes to apply it, but I had previous experiences with their products. Yes, I too had problems with the small pieces. For future reference search for the "palming" techniques on the zagg`s tutorial pages. I used them for my instalation and it all looks and sits good (and you don`t need kitchen plastic for it, but kudos for the ingenuity!).
does it cover sides? can u remove battery?

So I ended up wanting a MT4G case and came across this site through a friend who bought a similar case from ambitronic.com.
Wondering whether to get the TPU Fusion Case? Look no further!
Shipping:
The product came relatively fast. When I got my final order, all they allowed was first class shipping, but it was only about $3. I ordered my product on Saturday, was notified that it shipped out on Sunday, and it came on Tuesday afternoon.
The website said that it was "delivered" on Monday when I checked, but when I went to check the UPS tracking number it just said sorted. So if you're wondering why the case hasn't come, check the UPS site and be patient, it's worth it!
Pricing/Value:
This is where the product shines. The case was only $3.40, and I bought a $0.95 screen protector with it. I also used a promotional code that docked off 10%. Unfortunately, shipping was $2.95 (still not that bad for first-class), so my total came out to be $6.87.
The Product(s):
I bought two things:
The Black TPU Fusion Case, and
a MT4G Screen Protector
The case itself is pretty good. All the holes are in the right places, and it fits really well. It does not add any noticeable bulk, and although it was somewhat difficult to get it on my MT4G in the beginning, it gets easier as time goes. The side grips are really nice (they're textured for easier grip), and I have 99% confidence that I won't break my phone as long as I have this case (the other 1% is if I keep it in the washing machine ). I had an issue with the power button being too hard to press at the outset, but as time went by, the issue got better and it's much easier to hit the power button.
Note: The TPU Fusion cases for this product only come in Black (+$0.45), Clear (+$0.45), and Red. I got the black one, and it looks really sleek on my black MT4G.
Now, the screen protector on the other hand was not useful at all. The product said that it would come with a soft card, but it did not. The thing also did not come with any instructions, so I ended up having to check how to install it on XDA. After cleaning the glass screen with the microfiber cloth and applying the screen protector, there were too many air bubbles, and I realized that the screen protector collected dust quite easily. I ended up having to trash it.
Overall:
4.75/5
Great product, great company.
-0.15 for the worthless screen protector
-0.10 for only 1 shipping option (shipping ended up being about 45% of the cost, but it was relatively cheap, so I can't complain too much).
Get it here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I shot them an email, and here's what I got:
Hi, thank you for your honest opinion on our product and service. Your support is really important to us. We have just issued you $0.8 credit (Rounded it up) via paypal.
Regarding the screen protector issue, it used to include a soft card inside the package but it seems our supplier did not include it in this shipment. We have removed the word "soft card" from our description to avoid being misleading.
If you did not get another screen protector for the Mytouch 4g yet, we would like to re-send you the screen protector for free. Hopefully, this time it can do its job. Please let us know and have a good night!
Sincerely,
Dale

Lol, made me buy one also. I also read the extended battery thread and that made me buy one before I read this. Now I don't know which to put on unless I cut the case to fit the battery.

Exactly. I may just cut the TPU case to fit the battery.
I did not like this case. I found it to added far too bulk to the phone.
However....I cut the top off of it and hot glued the case to the armrest in my car. (It looks clean I swear!) So now I have a great holder that my phone slides in and out of easily that keeps it nice and secure where I can see the screen to know who's calling before answering on the bluetooth.
It's a GREAT phoen case for this purpose. And I'm thrilled with my purchase.

I got a TPU Fusion case when I got my phone. I'm pretty pleased with it overall. The grips on the sides make the phone feel much more secure in my hand.
Thank you for your support. It is good to see people like this TPU Fusion design.
I bought a similar tpu, but the hole where u charge the phone was too little and cause of that i couldnt charge it well so i decided to throw it away

I guess the garbage can was closer than a knife.
Hey guys. My Nexus is on its way to me, will be here soon. I've been browsing the Galaxy Nexus forums, trying to get a hold of the scene before I actually get my device.
Besides ROMs and what not, the most important thing for me is to protect the device. Also, I wasn't sure if this should go here or in the Q&A forum - if I got it wrong, I apologize.
Anyway,
Has anyone used this? I'm not talking about the Carbon Fiber skin, I'm talking about their Clear Skin Protector.
I was thinking of getting this and pairing it with the Rearth Ringke SLIM case.
Anyone out there used the Skinomi or has had previous experience with them? Any thoughts on combining their Skin protector with the Ringke?
Not sure about that screen protector, but ~17 users have it on this forum so they should be able to help.
Get it from amazon if you do decide to buy it, it's much cheaper there.
Regarding the case, this thread may be of use to you (if you have not read it already for more info)
I applied a tech skin on Friday and have been really happy. It took about 12 or so hours for all the bubbles to go away but it looks really good now, the cutouts are the perfect size and it covers the entire face of the device. but I bought mine from amazon for like 3 bucks for mine, looks like they've gone back up to 7
either way I'm very happy, especially now that they went back up cause I got 2 at 3 bucks.
First of all, thanks!

Yup, I read the thread regarding the protectors and the thread regarding the case. I'm pretty sure about the case, however when it comes to the Skinomi I'm not talking about just their screen protector - their skin protector is something you put all over the phone, with cut outs to the battery etc. Basically, like their carbon fiber skin, but transparent. I also really want to buy it from Amazon, but for some reason its not up there.

Really good to know. However, while their screen protector should theoretically provide a proper idea, I'm looking specifically at their phone skin - that is, there are cut outs for the front and back. I also really want to buy it from Amazon but for some reason it's not there. Thanks!
I loooove this screen protector. Bought one on amazon to replace the crap that otter box shipped with the commuter. Definately worth every penny. Covers entire front and fits snugly in my case .

Some Pictures :]
The Skinomi front screen protector, assuming that it's the same one that comes with the Carbon one, is really nice so far. The only thing id recommend, is that you wrap the microfiber cloth around that squeegee before you scrape the bubbles out. That crappy piece of plastic they send, has sharp edges, and will scratch the heck out of your screen protector. Really, like a few hours after I put it on, it's hard to tell it's even on there.
I second the microfiber comment above.

The screen protector is okay, but it's too big and the edges flake off/peel up.
Have they resolved that yet?

I have no problems with it. I could take a picture of the phone now that its been on for nearly 2 weeks now. its smooth, no blemishes, fits nicely, cut is pretty spot on.....
the only hitch i had was using a generic case, it would peel the edge/corners but I quickly got rid of that case and got another, even now you cant tell the other case peeled it up, the skin has the same finish and look on all parts of it.
I feel like a salesperson for XtremeGuards, I am that happy with it.

+1 on that...
the cut out is perfect..not sure what the other member meant. as long as it doesnt go OVER the edge then it shouldnt have a problem with peeling...
also worth mentioning is that their customer service is REALLY good. mine came and they missed the back piece. emailed them, got back to me within a day and had the replacement mailed already. to my surprise when it came they also threw in an extra front piece.
thanks

did you look at how to install it before you bought it? I mean at such a inexpensive price I can easily see why someone wouldnt look at the installation instructions, but curious if you did.
Does this screen protector cover the whole screen like spg and could you include pic as well

Fantastic deal
I wish I didn't pull the trigger on the Zagg so fast, even at 50% off it was still $16.00 --- and then BOOM immediately after a couple of competing products for less... This one is PENNIES...
Fantastic find....... But I already bought the Zagg sheild.
Actually picked one up for my S3 already but like the one that I put on first. So I got another one plus one for my Tab 10.1. Five bucks total with free shippng. Hell of a deal. Figure I'll put one on the Tab first to see if it's worth yanking the one on my S3 off or not. We'll see!
