Ringke case - Thunderbolt Accessories

I posted this elsewhere, but I figured Id post it here too.
So, I got my case the other day, and I can say this. This thing has a couple of features that you dont see anywhere else. I like the fit as well as the the look.
So Im guessing I wasnt the only one contacted by them, but Im sure that I wont be the last. I was expecting something cheaply made and nothing near this quality.
Two biggest things that I like about this case are as follows.
They have aux port plugs. I remember when phones actually came with these. My LG enV3 had one, but my Bolt doesnt. These are usefull and sit almost flush with the case without covering the mic hole. Great feature and they come in packs of two.
The other thing I really like about this case is how it was designed. Ive read a couple threads about people complaining about light leaks on the bottom and dust getting into the the phone from the bottom. These guys have brought up the bottom of the case so that it covers the break on the bottom. Thus eliminating dust being pushed in while it sits in your pocket.
The materials that this case is made from I like a lot better than my Seidio to be honest. It doesnt feel slippery or too smooth. It has a bit of a rough finish to it and that leaves you feeling less like its going to slip from your hand and crack. Coming from someone thats already had to have the digitizer replaced, thats a huge bonus.
I like it and overall, this case gets two thumbs up. The price is reasonable as well which is always good. For 20 bucks you can get a good combo deal from them. Even if you dont pick up one of their cases, the plugs alone are worth purchasing.

They gave me a Zune HD case and I fell in love. The moment they got it in stock I ordered one. May end up ordering another one down the line in a different color.

Where could I order just the plugs?

just go to http://www.rearthusa.com/
look up your phone and you should be good

Coupon code
If you type "Ringke Thunderbolt coupon" into Google, it will list a page that has the case, two audio caps and two screen protectors for $21, plus free shipping. I ordered yesterday. The only downside is you cannot choose the color of the audio caps.
The link is the second one on the google search engine: Under dealnews(dot)com

[Q] Quality Cases?

does anyone know if seidio or otterbox have any plans on releasing a case for the trophy?
I just ordered one by Incipio. Hopefully it's pretty decent.
any update if you got your cases in. would like to know a good case.
I just ordered the Incipio Silicrylic case for my Trophy. I can't post the link to it because I'm forum n00b lol.
I'll report back when I get it, but there's a good chance I won't get it until I get back from taking a graduate course next week. I'm leaving on Sunday, and with the free shipping, it might not come until on Monday or later.
In my opinion it's on par with case manufactures like Seidio and Otterbox. This is my first Incipio product and i like it. Had it for over a week now. The silicone is nice and soft, doesn't attract too much lint or dust and it wipes clean better then other silicone cases. It's very tight fitting so theres no movement at all which is good when comparing to cases like the Seidio Innocase surface which will cause little micro scratches on your phone once dust or dirt gets between the case and the phone.
It also comes with a free screen protector which was a nice touch. Kinda expensive at $29 but definitely worth it to protect your investment. Free shipping was good, and it my case took 4 days to arrive from California to NJ.
Another thing to note is that the case definitely makes the buttons easier to press. They seem more defined now, volume buttons act like separate up and down buttons instead of one long rocker. Power and camera buttons are easier to find and press as well. The holes are also nicely designed for the headphones, mic and charger. Most hard cases I've used have slacked in that ares. the charger port is always undersized and most of the time requires you to take the case off to charge the phone.
I have 5 cases for my Evo 4G and if Incipio made a Silicrylic for that phone I would use it over the other cases i have hands down.
Thanks very much for the review and the pics! I'm also in NJ, and I ordered mine on Monday, so I'm hoping I get it by Friday then... I'm glad to hear the the buttons are more defined; the one review on their website said the same thing.
Looks good, think i might buy one. I usually dont case phones, but this one seems kinda hard to hang onto.
Okay, perhaps I'll get flamed for this because it does not fit someone's definiton of "quality" - but I wanted to share that I am blown away by the fit and quality of the Ebay $8.49 case I bought for my Trophy. It does in fact feel a bit rubberized and fits perfectly.
And - while playing, my son dropped the phone from about 3 feet, on the street. I heard the sound of something falling apart and had that sinking feeling. When I looked - the case popped apart, but the case and the phone are completely undamaged and after popping it back on, it is as if nothing happened.
I am okay with that!
The case I got was this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-7-Trophy-69...712636?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43a77bbabc
I would hope there wouldn't be any flaming! That case looks good to me. I'm glad it worked for you in a time of need lol
I took a few photos so you can see the fit of the Ebay case I mentioned:
And the back:
I've always like the Silicrylic cases I've had for my other phones and since my local Verizon stores (corporate and agent) have absolutely nothing for the Trophy, I may bite the bullet and spend 30 bucks on the Incipio case. I just kind of wish the acrylic part came in different color choices for a little extra 'flair'...
Wow, I'm a dingbat. I see the different color options now... Not that many, I have to say. Perhaps I'm a little too anal retentive, but a blue on black color scheme would match my device theme.
Has anyone gotten anything from Boxwave? They seem to have some decent looking cases but they seem a bit steep. I've never had any of their products before so I'm unfamiliar with them.

Yeah, I have purchased some power supplies and cables from them. It was all a decent quality product. I would buy from them again.

Ambitronic.com and TPU Fusion review

So I got my TPU fusion case from ambitronic.com today and let me say, the case is beautiful. Consider the amazing price and it's an unbeatable deal. With a 10% coupon code I found and adding a screen protector it was just under $7.00 shipped. I ordered it in the evening hours, it shipped the next day, and arrived 3 days later from California to Missouri, not bad at all. Unfortunately the screen protector I ordered didn't include the soft card and one of the stickers on the screen protector got stuck to it and left behind residue. Without the soft card I was unable to install it correctly and ended up tossing it in the trash, but at .95 cents I can't really complain, but wish I could have used it.
i have one too & it's a good case for the price...lame that it doesn't come with the card, good to know. for 95 cents, you really can't complain. you can always use a credit card or driver's license... (i'm in NY & they're pretty flexible...), for future reference.
Ordering one online now, hope that it's as good as everyone says it is!
I tried a debit card but it didn't really make a difference with the adhesive stuck on it, cause by the time I got that off, it was pretty much useless. The site says it comes with a soft card, so I assume most of them do, I just didn't have one in my package. Still loving the case tho. To hit the power button takes a little getting use to as you have to press it a little harder than normal with the case on, but it doesn't bug me that much after a couple days use.
i need to get one

give the case some time to wear in, about a week or so. the buttons will get softer to press over time. Ive had my case for about 6 months now and its perfect
Good to know about the buttons getting softer. Just got an email from Ambitronic this morning, I sent a link to this thread to them, they apologized for taking a few days to get back to me, blaming the rush of Touchpad accessories, which I completely understand, and offered to either refund the .95 or send me another screen protector, so the only down side I had they are taking care of. Excellent customer service. Highly recommend anyone to order from them, I know I will in the future.

Yes, their customer service is pretty stellar. I've never had a problem with them before.
I just ordered tons of stuff from them. Great prices great stock. Live the fusion cases,
Just a funny factor. The fusion case does not really work work the chargers they sell.. Had to trim the case for the chargers to fit lmao.. That's the only negative thing I've found so far...

This case is hands down the best bang for your buck case I have ever bought for any of my phones. I got it for about $5 on eBay, and its quality and performance is on par with $30 cases I've bought in the past. As for screen protectors, I've always bought from an eBay seller, XtremeGUARD. If anyone's interested, here's a link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/XtremeGUARD-HTC-My-Touch-4G-Premium-Screen-Protector-/230605503209?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35b128bae9
Best screen protector I've ever used. Easy to put on, crystal clear, and extremely durable. It uses a soap and water mix as an adhesive, so it's nearly impossible to put it on incorrectly.
this case is pretty awesome gotta say. when i saw it i was like "man i want this case" xD, looked so good. But yeah the only charger that really fits in is the one i got when i first had the phone, can't use any others really because they'll fit just enough to plug in but its' easy to dislodge the charger from the plug, but oh well not that big a deal to me
that screen protecter i might look into cuz i kinda messed up with the one i have now, it's placed on correctly now, but i didn't get it that great the first time so it's kinda dusty but you barely notice it unless the screen's off.

It's practically impossible to mess up the XtremeGuard protector. Since you cover the protector in the soap/water mix, it slides around on the surface of the screen, making it easy to align perfectly or redo if some dust gets on the screen. Once you're satisfied, just let it sit a little before you squeegee out the water bubbles, then let it sit and dry into place.

They made everything right with me, ordered a couple other things too for my touchpad and everything I've gotten from them is awesome quality for the price

Cases

There is nearly only 3 types of cases out at the market.
First the hard plastic cases that are coming in 2 parts. There are the glossy ones and the trubberized ones in a wide variety of colors and styles at ebay or Amazon. The quality is OK but not perfect. What I like is the good protection in combination with the acceptable increase of size. The problem is that you nearly can't remove the front part of the case without breaking the very small bars fixing the case to the device. I like the rubberized ones most. They are looking more stable to me than the glossy ones. With the case it's more difficult to slide out the QWERTY keyboard. But it's acceptable. What I like very much is the protection of the on/off button and then loudness buttons. Because without the case I öfter press these keys withooany will.
Then there are the leather cases. There are horizontal and vertical ones. I tried to use the ones for the Samsung Galaxy S2 also, they fit. But of course not together with the hard plastic case together. For that I will try cases made for the HTC Sensation XL. I will share my experiences as soon as I get the cases.
The third category are cases that are blocking the hardware keyboard. That unacceptable for me. I tried rubber cases for the Samsung Galaxy S2 and it worked for one but the fitting is not not really good. The thickness of the device is quite different from most other smartphones.
Hope I could help a little bit and will share my upcoming experiences.
Thanks for checking out the cases, did they the leather/rubber ones block the camera at the back or did it have the correct position for the opening?
The leather ones I tried are for pulling out the device before use.
The rubber one I tried had a big camera hole on the back. But I forgot to check the other connector holes but if I remember correctly some cutting work has to be done. But this is possible with the right tools. Sharp knives and hole cutters for leather/paper.
Best thing is to try the case at a shop. Surely some fits better than others. But I think the Galaxy S2 category is the best you can get. The Galaxy Note ones could be also work, because it's taller but thinner.
The first category cases are made for the device and aren't blocking anything.
I wonder if anyone has tried the one-piece Speck cases yet (can't post links yet, but a Google search for "speck captivate glide" should bring up the page on Speck's site). They look good, but I'm curious if they restrict the sliding mechanism or block the keyboard at all.

Just wanted to share my review, got a hard rubberized case on Amazon from ezbuy123. It's a 2-piece, snap-on. In the past, I've used Otterbox on EVERYTHING, but since they dont have an i927 case out yet, I figured I'd take a chance. The build quality is probably a 3.5/5 - it's hard, it's plastic, it's rubberized, that all is true. The edges of the case around the keyboard area are already starting to get chewed up, and the rubberizing doesnt have any real texture to speak of, I feel like I'm going to drop it when I use it. On the plus side, it isnt a weird neon color, and it doesnt add much bulk or weight to the phone.... All in all, I'd be pressed to give it 4/5 overall, it will definitely be replaced with an Otterbox if they ever decide to make a case for the i927.
Speck Sureslider Case
So I just received the Sureslider case today. I bought it for 24 dollars (from versiomobile before they charged 35 ).
Here's my review on it:
It's a one piece piece that has a hard plastic back with polycarbonate. On the front, it's made up of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer). The TPE gives the case a lip from the screen of the phone. It still slides when you put it on its face but not by much. Only the top part actually clips onto the phone. The back plate just kinda sticks to the phone.. somewhat. There's basically no restriction when you're sliding it, it feels like it's not even there. Regarding the top keys of the qwerty keyboard, it might've moved a nanometer, but not to significant to affect your typing.
Honestly, I don't think the price of $35 is worth it. I'd say it'd be more fair around 13 dollars. It also comes with a one-year warranty, so maybe that's where the high price came from?
The Sureslider case is technically a "one-piece" but when I got it, somehow the connection between the bottom and top part became loose and the top part came out. Needless to say, i thought it was going to be an easy fix. It wasn't . You can't just "slide" it into one piece since there's a hook and a little clip at the bottom to provide stability. After I managed to get the piece together, I went through the packaging, and there was this small instruction slip. It said "If the case becomes separated by mistake, align the two pieces and fit back together."
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
I got the rubberized texture case from ebay (shop4phree*). 5 bucks included shipping. Just to get something on the phone quick before I scractched it. I have to say for being so cheap it has help up surprisingly well. I was going to go for a higher end case at a later time but it's now going on 2 months and I haven't felt the need to switch. The only drawbacks I can see is it interferes with the smoothness of the slide out keyboard (requires a little more finger power to push it up) and the extra bulk it adds makes your top row of keys a little tight when typing(especially with big fingers).Ive dropped my phone a couple of times and it has held intact.
Im a cheap bastard so my $5 case works great for me.
Amzer cases
Well i managed to snap the feelers on my first case (the black rubberized one), so I've moved on to an Amzer case from Amazon. It's a 2-piece, snap-together advertised as "one piece". The build quality is probably a 3/5 - it's hard, it's plastic, it's rubberized on the back half, but the front half is clear hard-poly that looks awful (definitely not at all like what the pic on Amazon makes it look). It doesnt add much bulk or weight to the phone, but it is slightly bulkier than the previous case I reviewed. Hopefully Otterbox will come up with a case for the i927 soon, I'm quickly tiring of these cases...

Haven't tried any of them but their stuff is good.
Body Glove Captivate Glide
I just received the Body Glove two-piece case for the Glide. It's $30 from AT&T, but I got it from All4Cellular for less (it's also on Amazon for even cheaper, which is a bit annoying as it was out of stock when I last looked there). It's pricey, but highly reviewed on AT&T's site.
It looks high-quality (none of that gummy rubber sort of stuff) and fits snugly. A bit too snugly, actually, as it was fairly difficult to get on and (according to other owners) nigh impossible to get off. On the plus side, that means it's not going to just pop off in your pocket.
The case fully covers the back of the phone (except for holes for the camera, flash, microphone, speaker, and buttons), and on the front, it covers the bezel. It doesn't interfere with the sliding at all, though the front cover does stick out enough to potentially cause problems with the top row of physical keyboard keys. That said, the keyboard side of the front cover has a little cutout at the bottom that may alleviate that problem a bit. I haven't noticed any major difficulties typing so far.
As with any two-piece case, there's a gap between the pieces where the phone slides, so it's not going to protect from anything getting between the phone halves. Also, it only comes in one color--a metallic blue sort of look--so if that's not your thing, you're out of luck.
I'd give it four out of five stars, knocking off a star for the difficulty in getting it off, though I'd recommend it for the build quality.
Does anyone know of a otterbox case from another phone that would fit this one for protection? (commuter or defender)
And what about silicone cases? Soft ones I mean..
There's a Case Mate Barely There case now available for the Glide, you can find it on Amazon. Did anyone try it?
Mom is with ATT so she picked the Captivate Glide cuz I have Epic. LoL Basically, she also want a slide-out keyboard.
I ordered this for her on eBay.
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=64678
One problem, the sellers posted different quality. Some say hard plastic and some say rubberized. I went with a seller that said rubberized with good reviews. $7 with free shipping. I'm waiting on that to arrive and see how it feels
Just a question, since I'm not a native english speaker:
what does 'rubberized' mean? Does the term refer to a hard case with soft grip or to a flexible silicone-like case that you can even bend and it keeps the shape?
Thanks

I got the same one from AT&T.
I agree with your comments. This case is much better quality than the no-name clear ones I've seen elsewhere. It is a pain to install / remove, but I like it tight, lol. I've had cases for other phones where it comes off easy, and they become a pain in the @ss.
They are the most expensive I've seen, but worth the price if it saves your phone from just one concrete ground fall.

Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 Hybrid Case

Hi,
I just got my SGS2 and wanted to order a case for its protection so I took a look around and found this from Astrobile. ( Google it, forum doesn't let me to post url ) It's pretty awesome on paper, cause i didn't get it yet, but I looking forward it is indeed cool.
They have a 1 plus 1 event now, so you can get 2 for a price of one. They also include 2 screen protector with it. It's Made in Korea.
Why is it Hybrid? Its made of plastic, but at the back of it there is a metal plate which "make your device looks slimmer". Imo it could also helps keep your device cooler. My SGS2 is getting real hot when playing constantly for an hour or more.
Im already excited about it, can't wait to get it! I will update when i get them, they said it will take about 10 days.
And the best of all, there is free shipping to worldwide. Of course you can take a Express Shipping, but that's not for free...
Arrived!
Hello!
As i promised, i will write a mini-review according to my first few impressions about the case when i get it, so here you are!
First things first, it has arrived fairly quick according to it was a free shipping. +1!
It has came in a pink plastic bag, nothing special. The package of the case itself is nice, suggests quality, +0.5!
The first problem face me when i actually opened the box and got the black case in my hands. I noticed it is kinda thick,-0.5, and has some shimmering material mixed in the black TPU, -1!!!. This is weird, but must be the Korean taste for beauty...OK.
The next thing I didn't like about thie case was it thickness, ok I already mentioned it, BUT the holes for the buttons are also that deep that they're hardly accessible. They could have made some "case-buttons" or I don't know the expression for that. -1!!! Maybe something like on this one.
The metal backplate also has some color transition from black to silver (mostly silver for a "black" backplate), and I don't like it. I have to give a -0.5.
Alright, enough of the CONs, let's see some more PROs. This case is not that bad at all. Its Sturdy enough, but still flexible so I can believe my phone is protected from small height drops (if not landed on the screen - tho the case has some edge which laps over the phone, so if you turn it face down, your screen won't be scratched, also the screen protector is there.) So this worth a +1! The touch of the material is good, less slippy then the phone naked, but still not as good as it could be. (Maybe my hands are just to small for such a huge screen and while im tryin to reach the other end of the screen with my goofy fingers it just wants to slip off of my hand. - So I won't give penalty on this.
The matte screen protector included is absolutely superb quality! It has a really nice touch, a colors doesn't distorted and it's free of any oil, fingerprints, +1. Tho I have to mention that on the website they were talking about 2 screen protectors will be included, this is a -0.5...
And of course don't forget about the extra case included with every purchase of this model from the color of your choice (even the same your ordered originally). They have black and white with various backplates.
I won't give penalty points on this, cause this was a gift
So, the thing is it is kinda the same as the black, since it also has that crappy shimmering thing mixed into the material, but it is less visible than on the black one. Backplate is the same aswell, weird color transition...But again, it was gift. So it is OK
The Verdict:
Summa Summarum, the case has finished with a +1 in its stash. My impressions is just confused as this rating.
I like it a bit, but I don't think I will stick with it too long. For a first case it's just perfect, since my main goal is just to protect the phone, and it does the job well. Tiny imperfections like the deep button hole is a thing i could get used to by time, not really a big issue.
Next time I will definitely go for a bumper-style case which preserves my phone's slick for factor, which I love.
Here you can see some high-res pics of the cases.
Hope you found my very first review helpful! Please press the "Thanks" button! Cheers I'm off...
P.S: This is my 10th post, let's celebrate :lol:
The phone + case look rather thick on the photo's. Is the mic on the upper side not covered? There is no picture of that.

Hey!
Thanks for the input! Yeah, sorry I forgot to mention that, actually I didn't even knew that is a mic also!
Returning to the topic, yeah the case also has a cut for the second mic too!
Can you please tell me what is it for?
the second mic
the second mic is use for the noise cancellation feature.
if you want a cheap and cheerfull hybrid case then look for a fake sgp neo hybrid case
if you want a more exspensive hybrid case look for genuine neo hybrid sgp cases
a fake one will cost up to £12 and usually start at about £6
real sgp cases will cost you £18-£22 and no less
iam using a fake neo hybrid at the minute as i broke my genuine one and its a pretty good case for the money , it fits standard battery and 2000mah battery , its lasted a good few months and has kept the phone pristine , it covers the phone well even with the 2000mah battery
they are the best hybrid case ive found and add minimal bulk to the phone , look good , fit nice , protects the phone from drops and if you buy a fake one you can get them for pretty good prices
That 'shimmering' effect looks nasty. It's good that you get a second case though.
i think there are better cases out there and at cheap prices, but in the bright side it does look nice.

My Cheap Case

I ordered my v20 on Tuesday and needed a quick cheap case until I figure out what I really want.
I have Amazon prime so my requirements were:
Cheap
Prime eligible
Get here same day as the v20
More protection than plain tpu or ultra thin case
Not too bulky or hideous lol (obviously subjective)
Here's what I came up with.
LG V20 Case,Profer[Heavy Duty][Drop Protection] Dual Layer Armor Holster Defender Full Body Protective Hybrid Wallet Case Card Slots [Slim Fit]cover for LG V20(Pink) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYVIZZ1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_rjbfyb2RXF823
I decided to go with pink because I've been black or grey forever it seems especially considering I usually use a zerolemon and they're not much on offering *any* case options.
I'm a girl so why not try pink for a change? It comes in a few nice colors though so no one has to be forced into pepto bismal pink.
I have 2 very similar cases for my V10. 2 because one came already cracked so I got a second (free) to replace it. (that one also cracked with use!)
I decided to try this type again knowing the risk of the cheapness factor.
The case is 2 pieces that come already "assembled". I decided to pry them apart to make the case a little easier to get on the phone. The black is a tpu type case and the pink is a hard shell.
Personally I like the case. There are no fit problems. It does have the phantom button that a lot of the cases have for the battery door button but it's not in the way it's just unnecessary.
I don't have any issue feeling or pressing the power button. The volume buttons are clicky and I like that.
There is a decent raised lip on the front to protect the screen if I want to place the phone face down.
The case is also sufficiently raised so as to protect the rear camera hump.
The charging cable fits with no trouble. The opening for the headphone jack was a little too small for the cable I use in my car but it's a stupid fat cable that has been a problem with other cases so it's probably not an issue for most cables.
The pink color is not as "nice" as it looked in the pictures on Amazon. It reminds me of that nasty putty stuff the orthodontist used to make the molds of my teeth for braces a million years ago. lol But it's growing on me.
Overall I like the case and for a cheap case, (I paid 8.99 and added the 3.99 for 1 day shipping) it's pretty nice! I don't expect too much from it because of my experience with the similar style case for my V10. However, it is a slightly different design on the bottom around the ports which is where the v10 cases broke and I think this design will be less likely to crack the way the other one did.
Last but far from least, I included pictures after attaching my beloved flygrip. For once I decided to try a case that matches it and it worked out. I don't what I'd do without my Precious. I'm completely attached to this thing and couldn't imagine dealing with the "pinky rest" style of holding my phone again. It really is the best thing since sliced bread as far as phablet + one handed use goes. The kick stand feature is addicting. I get a lot of questions about it so I usually include it when I post any case pictures.
So there you have it. An awfully long review for a cheap case.
Here comes the pictures!
How easy is it to get cards in and out of the slot?
Great write-up! I like the looks of the case actually. You make me want to post pics of mine when I get them.

Oops! I kind of ignored that feature. Mostly because I don't plan to use it but I didn't like the look of the similar cases without the card slot so I figured it wouldn't hurt to have it and not use it.
To answer your question...
Getting a card in is not too bad. I'm able to slide my check card in stripe/top first numbers facing towards me. It slides in without too much trouble.
Getting it out is not quite as easy. Someone with fatter fingers or no fingernails would probably struggle with it. (on second test... My long thumbnail might actually be making it harder to get a grip on the card.)
Definitely only room for 1 card in there. I tried to get my driver's license in after I put the check card in and no way that's going to happen.

Thank you! I always think of posting pictures but half the time I don't get around to it.
I got the black one just arrived a few hours ago
