I bought one of these for my MyTouch3G last year, and thought it was the BEST case I've ever had for a phone. I'm desperately wanting one for my MT4G, but haven't found one anywhere online yet. Anyone know where we can get these? I bought mine on eBay for $4.99 and free shipping from Hong Kong, and I got it in less than 2 weeks.
Here's a link to a current eBay auction for the MT3G version so you can see what I'm talking about...

I agree, those are the best cases I've used. Had one for my original MyTouch and loved it. Hopefully they will get in gear and make them for the 4G now.
That's like the TPU cases others have mentioned, and been on the lookout for on eBay.
I like how they're flexible, but not plain silicon, and maintain the profile of the phone as much as possible.
I gotta pick up something pretty soon. I'd consider just a Phantom Skinz, but with a 3 year old who loves Angry Birds running around the house I need something that offers some drop protection.

i had been looking for these aswell. i bought one for my curve last yr from this guy. clicked this post in hopes to find that you had found them lol. i sent the seller an email asking about these for the 4g. ill check back in if/when he responds
How well does that case absorb a shock if the phone is dropped? I really like how its molded really well to the body-lines of the phone and doesnt look thick. Let us know asap when you do find out if they sell them yet! Thanks!

Dear cw54o,
we will be getting these shortly in the next 1-2
weeks

That's awesome news about him getting these cases in the next 1-2 weeks. I'm on my second T-Mo case, and I really haven't been too thrilled with them. Way too much money IMO for cases like these, and I'm considering returning/exchanging my newest one (soft rubber sleeve with white plastic backing) because the rubber attracts WAY TOO much dust.
These cases are STILL not available anywhere yet. Total BS!

yeah i knw, i just checked his ebay store and nothing
There's Epik cases on eBay for the HTC HD7, didn't that come out the same day or about the same timeframe as our MT4G? If so, why hasn't there been an Epik case made yet for our phone?
i have no clue, but on a side note tmble has these type of cases at their stores. im tempted to get 2 of them. they have a sale going on 2accessories will land u 20% off and 3 will get u 30% off, but their 20 a peice....
T-Mobile does not carry the Epik branded cases at their stores. They don't have any cases that even come close to the Epik brand.

they arent 'epik' cases BUT they are TPU cases, which is exactly what the epik cases are. they have them for several phones including the mytouch 4g. if i go back ill take a pic and show you. if it werent for the price difference i would have gotten it. but yeah im pretty sure a youtube search would confirm it.
DCMugen88 posted black and clear cases today. I got black
awww daewond3r beat me too it i was too busy trying to figure out if i wanted clear or smoke blk and put in my order to post the link lol but here u go to those who are looking for it
enjoy
Thanks for the link. Ill be ordering a few. Great prices! i was close to ordering some case on amazon for 24.99 + shipping.
Sucks that these won't be arriving until after xmas though.
Nice! Do you think the epik cases will still fit if you have the CF Chromatics on? My little girl puts a beating on my phone while playing with talking Tom . Ordered anyway, you cant go wrong with the price! Thanks for the heads up fellas!

Are these the bendable gel cases they had for the MT3G? It doesn't really specify that anywhere on his auctions, and the pictures make it look more like a hard plastic or hard gel/plastic case.
Wanted to start a thread sharing what kind of cases people were getting and include pictures if possible. I was thinking of one of these:

belkin slim
I got the belkin slim that BB had after I got my 32 grey from Fry's since BB only had 16's and that was late friday. The case is nice and very thin but still padded.

I have the belkin one and i do not recommend it to anyone. Im really not much of a fan of the blue texturing on it and for some reason you cant have the case closed and charge the tab simultaneously. I plan on returning it and getting the sammy one instead.

But then don't get free shipping
Only the Samsung case doesn't have cheap elastic bands in the corners or a "pouch" to slide the tablet in...and I hate the leather (or whatever) frame around the screen. I much prefer the way the tab snaps into the Samsung case, leaving the face of the tab clean and completely obstructed. That's why I went for the Samsung case.
I got the Belkin verve case (all black one) just something to protect the tab. The Samsung book one looks nice but I'm waiting for a few more reviews?
I'd like to get the Samsung case as well... hopefully you'll be able to find it from third party vendors for significantly less in the near future.

I'm calling shenanigans on this... I checked about 4 hours ago and just now for the hell of it. Yes, the blue 'buy online' button is there, but when you click the button, it is still back ordered and I have not received my email notification that it was ever in stock today...
Has anyone actually purchased it and have a tracking number?
I have ordered the Samsung Leather Pouch (normally $30). I'm going to look it over and if I feel I need a sturdier case occasionally, then I'm going to pickup the the Samsung Book Case. I am also considering trying out a silicone cover.

You can still get free shipping based on the order total ... check the instructions when you checkout. I ordered the Leather Pouch, Desktop Dock and Stylus and got free 3 day shipping.
I actually bought 2. The samsung book case. and this one from ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190542584350&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
IDK why I bought both. Just wanted a second one.
I got the gray slim Belkin case as well. I had a $25 Bestbuy gift card and used that... I'll sell it on craigslist as soon as the Samsung leather case becomes available and gets good reviews...
I think the Belkin isn't that bad actually.
Im thinking of either the Official Samsung Book Case or one of the belkin cases.
Any reviews or pros/cons of the official case? I bought a cheap one from ebay, but I haven't received it yet, so I'm thinking of buying this case or another quality case.
Looks like an awesome case. But even with the 30% off, I think I'm going to pass.
I bought a similar case for my iPad. And liked at first. But I often took the tablet out of the case. Eventually I just got so lazy I stopped using the case all together and just use a sleeve instead and get out a foldable stand when I need it.
get the keyboard dock and a neoprene sleeve ;p
I think we should start 3 more threads about this case.

I'm getting it because I use a big satchel designed for a 13" laptop to carry it out of the house. I probably will not use the case at home, and use the case when I'm out and about.

That was also my plan until I started hearing about the keyboard lag. I've been using swype more, and I'm starting to like it. I also like thumb keyboard as well.

I was interested in whether the official samsung case was worth it or if it would be better to go with the belkin one from best buy. Has anyone tried out either of them?

Wanted to get a cheap case to hold me over until i order one of the more expensive ones. Do these generic cases made for 8 inch tablets work ? Here are some other ones I was looking at for the mean time.
Would this work well ? Anyone have one ?

Currently waiting on the TPU case myself, which I ordered near a month ago at this point... Last time I get something from AliExpress.
Hoping the IVSO will be available in the color scheme I like on eBay soon, want that as well.

The fabric cases have been discounted on Google's Store.
Most are out of stock with delivery at 3-4 weeks.
Does anyone know anywhere in the UK that has the Cement case in stock?
I'm buying phone as a gift for wife and want cover, but don't want to have to wait weeks.

Not fancy the midnight one? Carphone warehouse also stock the cases, but you'll need to search on Google for Google Pixel 2XL fabric case as if you try and find them on the website you can only find the smaller cases.

I have a new one, in box, that I'm not using. If you wanna cover the shipping, you can have it. They retail for $40USD here, so let's say $32+shipping via PayPal friends and family. Just send me a PM.

Thanks for your offer, but the shipping costs to UK would make it too expensive.
It's currently £28 in UK (approx 37.78 USD) They're also currently 35USD on Google's store in US .
I'm looking for either someone in the UK, or a UK store that still has stock.
I would also like to order the cement one for the non XL Pixel 2 I'm in Portugal, though. If someone find a link not expensive please share

Thanks, I just bought a used one on ebay for 20 euros.
How is it regarding being slippery and getting stains?
I'm also interested about sliperiness (is that even a word? Not my native language).
I find the grip to be perfect. I have the Cement and it picks up the dye from my jeans pretty easily, but I like the look of it after it's done so. I got a black spot on it so I washed it with some soap and hot water and let it air dry. It looked brand new again until I put it back in my pocket.
I'm seriously thinking about returning my fabric case, I feel that the phone its more slippery than without it!

I've bought that one as well, used on ebay, let's hope I don't feel that way also. I'm using the Ringke Fusion Clear TPU Case and it's a very good TPU Case, lots of grip and protection and only costs 12 bucks. But it sure dosent look as premium as the Google fabric ones...

I don't know why this case is so expensive, but it's a nice case. I got the carbon one and don't find it slippery...
