I will post pics when it arrives.
my friend had one of these for his nexus, it made it freakishly huge...i'll be interested in your feedback once you get it....i dont mind if it gets heavier tho...this phone is soooooo light compaired to a N1
I hear you. If that's the case then I would use it when I really need it.

I'm sorry, thats god awful. It looks like a very cheap plastic you'd find on a toy tool box.
Don't listen to him, this looks like a good case. Let us know how it is, looks great, I'd like a metal case.
Aluminum = plastic????
Thanxs mafaesto
Anyway still waiting. Coming from Hong Kong. I'm not clumsy. I can't say the same for the rude and "blind" people around me. Public transportation, parades, sporting events it's easy to get this little phone knocked out of you hand in my opinion. So why not have metal and foam protecting your investment. I probally won't use it if i'm driving that day but going to party definitely.
Hey check this out, it's basically the same case as you linked in the OP (same brand) but specifically designed for the Vibrant, rather than the international Galaxy S. So basically, you don't have that extra hole for the FFC.
That and it's a pretty cool color, but they also have black available.

Lol Looks Like does not mean Aluminium = Plastic. It looks like plastic, that's all im saying.
Aluminum will **** with your phones reception
The case came today. No reception issues. It adds some weight to the phone. The hinge and latch might get caught if you put it in your pocket with other stuff (I don't). But it is protection! No problems accessing buttons. Will post pics later.
Looking forward to pics! I was going to order the black one but was concerned with reception issues. Is the inside of the case lined with a non-aluminum material?

I want to get a leather holster case for my Evo. I have the Sprint 2600mah extended battery, so it's of course extra thick. I compared it with a friend's Epic 4G and it seems to be similar in size (just a hair thicker). I was thinking about getting the Sprint leather Pouch for the Epic (http://www.amazon.com/Sprint-Samsung-Epic-Leather-Pouch/dp/B0041NF3PO), but wanted to know if anyone has tried it out or has a better suggestion? All I'm worried about is that it's good quality, good looking case and that my Evo will fit into.
Thanks!
Just go to your local mall and buy one from one of the booths. Just try em all till you find one that fits.

That's what I've been looking to do. I haven't tried the case at a local Sprint store/booth, but plan to try it out next time I'm near one. The problem is that there's only a few cases available at local stores, but online has a much wider variety to choose from. I was hoping there might be something maybe better looking and at a better price. Example: The case I linked in the original post was $15 on Amazon, but if I went to a local store to pick it up I'd pay $35.

Hey not sure where you live but in my area I have gone to Walgreens and they have a big bucket of cell phone cases which are 2 for $10. They are leather and I have like 4 different ones for my EVO. They also have a swivel belt clip
Well if you're feeling crafty and industrious you could always grab some supplies from your local leathercraft store and make one. I carried every phone I've owned up to and including my Touch Pro in a holster I made. To see what I mean you can visit THIS POST in Android Forums.
I really have no excuse for not making a case for my Hero and Evo too. To be a Pete who's frank, I think Sloth has something to do with it. I started using the Seidio Innocase and Clip Holster and found 'em satisfactory enough, but I do miss the protection and good looks of good old-fashion cowhide.
Ok, that does it! Where are my tools and hide?

That is the most beautiful case I've ever seen! I wish I was that skilled/talented to make something like that for my Evo. I LOVE the look of that case. Are you for hire?
I got this case from an amazon reseller. Fits well with this battery and it's really cheap. I'm going to buy a few more as backups.

Used my old no-namer from ebay that had for old ipone. works perfectly even with extended battery thanks to its expandible sides. Its an upright case with leather/metal clip. Cant stand sideways cases and despise plastic clips..just my opinion.
I can confirm the HTC EVO w/ the Sprint Extended battery fits PERFECTLY with the side leather case pouch that Verizon sells for the Droid X I got it from my local verizon store for 24.99. Case is well built, looks great. Only downside is that it says "Verizonwireless" on the case
Has anyone tried out the Aegis Series case for the thunderbolt yet?
No but they sure look sweet. I went to their website but didn't see that they were available.

They do look like nice cases. Puts me in mind of the Seidio Active or Otterbox Commuter cases.

Thats a nice looking case. I plan on getting something this week and that is an option.
Wow, that's a sweet looking case. Too bad there isn't one for us extendo's
That website looks like the one I made for freshman year flash... ugh
On another note, that case looks pretty good. The blue is AWFUL... but the black looks sweet.
I just ordered one on monday. It should be here soon. I will post some pictures when I get it in.
I'd have one on the way now too if they offered a holster that works with them. I'd have to get the green, so it'd match my Nook Color Aegis case, lol.
I got one for my Evo when I had that, and it was really cheap rubber. Don't get me wrong, I love what it looks like, it just felt really cheap in-hand.
Mine just came in. Its not bad came with a screen protector but I fail at applying them.
Everything is easily accessible (the power button is easier for me to push now too lol) and protected but I really wish it had a holster .

This thing looks exactly like the Active X case (which I have.) The difference is the Active case is all black but I kinda dig the blue.
and i thought my case mate pop! was sexy...

Will the Trident Aegis case fit in the Seido Active Holster?
I plan on getting the red one as soon as it is there to order (pre- order currently).

I ordered a Cyclops series case over the weekend since I didn't want the big Kraken 2 and the idea of the Aegis' having a hard outer shell didn't appeal to me. When I get it I'll throw some pictures up for those interested, I got the red one.
P.S. First post, helpful site and let me root and flash Das Bamf GB sense 3.0 within 3 days of getting my first smartphone.
For those that have gotten it, does the rubber feel really cheap as was mentioned once in the thread? I'm liking the case too, but have kind of had it with cases that look and sound good online but received turns out looking/feeling/being low quality.
Well I actually went with kraken and love it!

Just got my case today, I really like it unfortunately the silicone ripped within 1 minute of having the case on my phone. Its just a small part, thinnest of the case but it holds the usb plug on the phone. I emailed Trident cases about it just now so we'll see how their customer service is. Will post pics shortly.
I used to have a cyclops for my evo, imo out was the best case and I had tons for my evo, otterbox, seido, etc.
And it added a really nice grip to the phone, it wasn't to bulky with lots of protection and didn't feel cheap at all..

Just for reference, the Trident Electra will be released soon. It has a built in extended battery.
Hey guys just got my $13.97 Black Armor case from Amazon. I must say, this case is just as well built as an Otterbox! My only gripe was the smokey built in screen protector, but after I gave it the windex treatment it's good to go.
All the ports are covered well, with easy access to the kickstand. It adds about .3 thickness when on the phone, but not too heavy at all.
It's a damn good deal for the price, gives me everything I want in a case! No it doesn't come with the holster, but they are available separately! Check out amazon for more colors!
If anyone needs more action shots lemmie know!
Got the same case (in white) from eBay for cheap as well. Definitely had to cut out the built-in screen protector; drove me nuts! Other than that, awesome case.
Yea, I sat outside with it and noticed the Smokey mess all on it. Gonna go out to a hardware shop and try to find some plastic to cut n replace it!

i like that the case actually covers the speaker. the otterbox does not
I just ordered one similar to this. I will put some pics of it up once I get it in.

I might pick up one of these, I noticed on the site that they have a "complimentary case" for our phone with purchase. I mean im sure its just a throw in case but you can't be mad at that, especially with free shipping, thanks qb!

I might consider it ON a case, but I wouldn't want to stick anything on the phone itself. For one thing, it wouldn't fit in my car or desk dock.
Does it come with extra adhesive pads? If not, then what do you do if/when you get a new phone?
Attached this to the outside of a case, and it is GREAT.
I am a cyclist, and I have ruined phones by dropping them off the bike. I can now ride and use a phone if needed. (Yeah they say texting and driving is bad xD)
You should be a pitch man, watching this was like watching one of those 15 minute infomercials.

It comes with one extra sticky pad.
I'm considering getting this but all of my phones have extended batteries with the extended back piece :/. I'll just get one for my brothers iPhone I guess lol.
Wow that really does look pretty handy. I am wondering if I cam modify my rugged case to fit this without adding any thickness. it just might be thick enough (My case) I would have to cut out the cases kickstand but this acts as a kickstand so I lose nothing.
but man $30 is steep for that.
It comes with one extra sticky pad. Flygrip. The one handed solution. This sounds like a smartphone pr0n fapping device. One hand to hold the phone, the other to grip your fly.

I was thinking the same for such a simple device, but it looks well made. I'm betting it could be redesigned to be even thinner than 1/4" thickness which isn't all that thin.
Agreed 1/4" is almost as thick as the phone itself.
Machine this bad boy out of aluminum or even Titanium and make it 2-3mm thick at most and I would eve pay $40 for that one.
Problem is if that outer piece gets too thin it could bend/sheer/snap. It looks like it has a thick glossy paint coating to top it off which looks nice and may add to the durability. Using those metals may even add to the price and you'd be paying $40 or more.
I'm finding more and more often with the epic 4g touch less and less hands on experience when it comes to accessories. Best Buy has only one case I'd even consider buying (platinum series case) and Radio Shack only has full enclosure cases that go on your belt. Not really digging that solution. I may just invest in a Flygrip, how long is the free shipping good for?
I know and $40 to $45 would be fine if it was say titanium (it would be strong enough that thin) and at minimum half its current thickness. ie around 2mm would be nice. maybe 3mm.
as it stands its a lot of money for an awful thick piece of plastic. (relative to the size of the phone)
Good idea, too big for me though.

Thanks for the review. Looks awesome, but wouldn't be able to put the phone on a car dock or desktop dock after you put the Fly grip on I'm assuming...
Just purchased on of these. Cant wait to get it.
I am kinda worried about the car dock thing though since I've been seriously considering getting one. I thought that magnetic dock in the other thread was pretty cool, but after having this IDK if it would work.
it would not be all that hard to modify the car dock to work with the Fly Grip if you positioned it properly.
If you do the tilt insert method ie you don't slide the jack slider up and down this might work.
get another dock of any kind (one of the cheap ones on ebay for $6) just so long as it has the depressed section with the 4 holes for the universal quad mount.
you glue it onto the back of the vehicle dock. making it THICKER.
now you have enough depth to "cut" a hole into the vehicle dock large enough to encompass the flygrip.
and there you go. vehicle dock and flygrip. it is 1 2 3 ? no but its doable.
BTW discovered the kickstand built into my case works almost exactly and just as effectively a flygrip.
I was contemplating how to cut a hole in my case to accommodate a flygrip adn it hit me ahh just use the kickstand already on it -)
I will make a video tommorrow.
30 dollars is WAY too much for this thing...10-15 dollars at the most, but no way for 30 dollars..
I got one on the way thanks for the heads up qbking77! I think this is perfect for people with 4 inch+ phones.

Does it rotate so that you can use the phone in landscape?
