Full cover skin

Hi,
I'm thinking to order a full cover skin case like this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/CP-FULL-BODY-SC...ameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting
The only thing about it is that the screen could become not so sensible as usual...What do you think?

Just got one today, Overall very impressed. Great quality sound through bluetooth, and connects to multiple things at the same time so can listen to music through my laptop, and take calls on ym headset.
best news is, they've just come down in price in most stores.

Please let us know what you think about it ! 8)

I actually had shieldzone make a custom invisibleshield for my touch. It arrives on monday, so I can't comment on it till then, but they do have it on their site now for anyone to buy.

Did you custom order a full shield or just a screen shield? I was thinking of the second option, if what they say on their specifications (99% clarity, extra durable, designed for US helicopter blades blah blah) is true.
Please keep us posted

Will it come off, once applied?

I just received my touch today, and the skin is amazing. I ordered a full body shield, but they actually build the full body and the screen as separate pieces, so you can buy either. At first I didn't even recognize the skin, it adds a sort of rubbery feel, and it is kind of shiny, but not much. I actually keep my touch in my keys pocket, and it doesn't show any wear at all, but it's been only a day now.

You can actually remove it, I don't know exactly how. Since they don't use actual glues to stick it, it doesn't leave any residue.

If this works well and it's removeable sure better then any pouches man!

guys I've ordered a cheap silicon case on ebay. Got here today in good quality, but it has this rubber odor. learned my lesson im not buying these cheap silicons next time..

Invisible Protector
Anyone tried any of the products?
How is it?

I would be interested in anyone's experience with this too. I've used similar product from BestSkinsEver but only for screens on my non-touchscreen devices. Great protection and durability. I'm worried about how this will be on the rubberized surface of the Touch and if would pull off if you want to remove.

best skins ever
I've got a best skins ever for my iPod, and I love it. I believe it's the same material as invisible shields, but much cheaper.
I'm not buying it for my touch - yet - as it would spoil the matt finish if I covered it, and the supplied screen save is good for now.
this $6.99 skin would give you plenty of material to completely cover your phone, or screen protectors for several phones (I think....I'm not much good with imperial measurements]

I am on day 2 with the full body shield. I got it from the above website. They didn't send an email and the website didn't give me a tracking number. The website showed my delivery on hold until the 28th of October and never updated. I was almost to the point of calling to cancel when it just suddenly arrived. I guess I am just used to all the warm fuzzies I get from other suppliers, but it has left a bad feeling about their customer service.
The package was complete with spray, squeegee and protector.
It was a pain to get on perfectly, but with enough of the spray it is possible. The front comes in eight pieces. 2 for the top near the speaker, 2 for the buttons, 2 long skinny ones for the sides one for the navigation button and one for the screen.
The screen protector was actually pretty easy. Just make sure you get the curved end down. It didn't completely cover everything. There is a gap about the size of a fingernail on each side in the silver area. Of course I started on one of the sides, so I have a double fingernail gap on my right side.
I put the buttons on next. I lined up the cutouts and they went on ok. There is a little gestimation room so be sure to get a gap around the call and end buttons. There is a small square for the center button. It is a pain to center and mine looks off a little and it looked like I was about to pull my button out of the case when I tried to remove the shield to recenter it. I would probably skip this one.
The two long skinny ones were a pain. I would suggest tweasers so you can see where to place them.
The two top pieces were pretty easy, just make sure you don't overlap the two side pieces.
The back was 3 pieces, 1 big one the covers most of the back. 1 ring for the camera and 1 dot for the mirror.
When I put the large piece on the back I had to reposition it several times. When I was done I had a couple of small bubbles. The website said the bubbles should go away after a couple of days, so I just left them to see. If not I will pull it off and try again.
The ring was a pain. My fingers kept getting in the way. This is another piece for the tweasers.
The mirror piece as great. It is clear. After having my mirror on my 8125 get scratched from laying on it's back I know this is a weak area.
Note: I put this on late at night and lack of sleep probably contributed to any mistakes. I had watched the video so I used the spray and this helped. After 2 days it is looking better. I still have a couple of bubbles they are smaller and the tiny ones are gone. I will wait a few more days to see. The 2 top corners on the back seem to have a problem sticking. This was probably a placement issue, but unless it spreads I will wait for the bubbles before any realignment.
As far as use, there is a rubber feel now. The stylus drags and my finger drags but I can't seem to scratch this stuff. I feel pretty comfortable using my fingernail to tap now. I am pretty hard on electronics so I think I can live with it. I read on other sites that this goes away as the protector cures. I will let you know.
I hate to make a judgment after two days, but I would have to give this one a thumbs up.

I've also ordered a full shield from shielzone.com, haven't gotten it yet. I suspect they don't provide a tracking number since they ship free and use the cheapest USPS service available, which wouldn't have any tracking (e.g. express would have, and on regular postage only if you pay for registered would have tracking). I exchanged a few emails with them before I ordered and they were very helpful.
Now that I'm waiting to buy the HTC Polaris, it feels like I'm just wasting money, but it would be good training for the next invisible shield. that is, if I'm satisfied with it
Btw, I've tried the silicon cases as well, got one from Boxwave. While quality is reasonable, I can't understand how people can use that. It looks ugly, I just couldn't stand it (I've paid to have a sleek looking ppc phone). It also made it bulkier and hindered scrolling on the sides. That was a big waste of money on my side, but I've learned my lesson ... never silicon cases again.

Droid 2 Case Reviews!

I just reviewed Droid 2 cases here:
Droid 2 Hard Case:
http://droid2accessories.com/droid-2-accessories/droid-2-hard-case/
Body Glove Droid 2:
http://droid2accessories.com/droid-2-accessories/droid-2-case-review/
Both you can get at Verizon store but Amazon is like 30% cheaper.
Also, I like the hard case better, the Body Glove is waaay too bulky, they added waaaay too much padding, your Droid 2 becomes like a big brick afterwards. But might work for those of you who want a sturdier Droid 2.

Hey thanks for pointing out these rad cases. In the Amazon page it claims to come with a micro fiber cloth and a "screen protector". Did the kit you reviewed come with some sort of clear plastic stick on deal? I hope so, I'm itching to by the white one and storm trooper this beast.
Thanks dude.

The one I bought
The one I bought is the same but I bought it at my local Verizon store for $24.99 doesn't come with a screen protector. darn it. But yeah, that link is the best deal I found and is the exact same case, yey.

Thank you sir I'll post back with the quality of the screen protector, ordering NAOWWW!

Hey thought I'd let you know this case is fantastic! Fits much better than I expected and the white case got me the storm trooper look I was goin for.
I also ordered the OEM extended battery from Verizon (BP7X) and am happy to report that despite its larger size, the case still fits perfect! In fact, I think these were designed for BP7X.
If you look at Zeedomax's pictures, the case has a swell over the battery compartment... with the stock battery installed, there is space between phone and case. With BP7X, like a glove.
I'd also like to say the free screen protector isn't half bad. No glare, no rainbow effect, and doesn't inhibit touch screen usage. The bad: it doesn't take much to scratch. I scuffed it up installing with a credit card and my keys have already done a number on it.
Definitely get this case and the battery!
Use promo code "BAT30" for 30% off and free overnight shipping. (Mine was $37 or so.)

I got the 'carbine' case when I bought mine. It was $25 instore. Also Good luck finding matte screen protectors anywhere. I have somewhat tacky fingers and find that glossy protectors make my fingers catch. I ended up buying a iphone matte protector from best buy and trimming it down to fit (bit of irony no? haha!) stupid things where $18 to boot...

Thanks for the info guys. I'm curious if the keyboard opens and closes as smoothly as without case. I briefly tried one on my phone and it was noticeably different as if the phone was rubbing against the case while opening and closing.

Yes, there are two clips on the top half of the bottom cover (confusing I know) that rub against the back of the screen when sliding open. Now even though
I noticed a difference immediately, I was not turned off by this at all. It has warn the clips a bit since then and seems to slide a little more effortlessly now...
But to answer your question, NO the case does not hinder the phone in any SERIOUS way. I'd also like to note that this case will drive you crazy on the top row of your keyboard for the first day or two, but now I've already forgotten what it felt like with the case off. Basically, you had about 1-2mm's of space between the top row and the screen. Now that space is non existent. You'll get used to it!
The only thing that seriously erks me, is all the crap that's getting stuck between the case and the phone from extended miles in my pocket. I've already scuffed up the shiny metallic front face pretty bad.

I thought since we are discussing cases, I'd share the slip case I got for my D2:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170524799245
It wasn't made for the D2, but it fits perfectly and it was cheap. Its already protected my phone from a drop of a few feet to a concrete floor. Most of all, I love the Android at the bottom of it, I thought it was perfect, especially for the price!

Do these cases have a hole for the noise cancelling mic?

http://www.skinomi.com/motorola-droid-2-light-wood-skin-protector.html
Not a case, but I just got this piece of awesomeness. Love it. Makes the phone look 10,000 times sexier.

You are the biggest spamming tool I've ever seen on XDA forums. Go away. This is all you post on various devices' forums.

Yeah, this skin is awesome. There are some other phones that it looks even better on.
As to our friend hwc there, I went ahead and reported him so I'm hopeful he'll be banned.

My TPU Fusion Review

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.

Dam impulse buys LOL

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.

Why I love my otterbox.

sgs3 white 16gb
black case, got the phone on first day, went to best buy every day untill they had the commuter in stock.
so you can figure out when that was, but i think its a few months or so.
that is how long this case has not left my phone.
I work prewiring houses, use tools all day running up and down the stairs.
now and again, ill stick a set of pliers in my back pocket, the same pocket as my phone is in.
i had a friend, she was skateboarding with here evo 3d in a defender, and she was going quick, but hit a rock and fell, and slid on concrete on top of her phone and slid. case had some serious gashes in it, and obviously no damage to the phone. well its the same plastic but less of it. but enough for me not to worry when my phone falls about 4-5ft on concrete, and maybe 10 feet onto plywood. this has happened many times.
yeah, i love it.
buttons are a bit hard to press, it gets a little better after a bit, im used to it by now, but its nowhere near like anything like on my sgs2 bonefish case, which was awesome, not nowhere near the protection.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Titan...48205082&sr=8-1&keywords=epic+touch+bone+fish
well, if anyone cares, after all the abuse of my otterbox commuter, it looks beat up now, and the screen protector that came with it needs to go.(but it held up great, its not glass, but its pretty hard). never looked back. will post pics tomorrow if people care. Defiantly thinking of just getting another otterbox, this one is scratched to hell.
but all that aside, there is not a doubt in my mind, that when i take of the case, the phone will be spotelss.
Cheers.

Waiting on my Otterbox for my S3. Been planning on getting one glad I waited. Two reasons 1, they are super cheap on amazon (lame that have to pay tax now). And recently my otterbox for my G2 broke.. They do not make the case anymore, so the replacement will be for my S3. Just wish it would come. I have the Zagg HD protector on the screen. Most important. Always put it in pocket byitself, so the rest stays good.
Was going to get the defender, but heard that the included screen protector makes the screen look like poo.

I have the green one and love it. I actually like the stiff buttons because I watch a lot of videos and it prevents me from hitting the buttons all the time. And actually in time they get easier to push. I just ordered the seido active for the kickstand.

Worth every cent you spend on that case, especially in badname's case
Try doing without and ending up buying a new phone... ouch, the wallet won't like it

OtterBox Armor Review

Bought this case new from ebay knowing about its few problems being reported like the proximity sensor, call problems, and audio issues, but still preferred this over the lifeproof simply for its protection. When i first received it, my initial reaction was "wow, its here, and its HUGE!" But i carefully disassembled it and clean it out just in case, water tested it (passed), dried it off, and finally put my phone in its new suit of armor. It really made the phone huge, and i mean huge, but i honestly dont mind the added bulk because of its substantial protection and it still feels very comfy in hand and doesnt hinder the phones functionality at all. Speaker for music also plays very loudly and crystal clear unlike other reviewers have stated. I think its a great case to buy and kind of essential if you have a very physically active life. Now to the cons (although their aren't many): Unlike many other reviewers of the white version have stated, i dont have call proximity issues, only thing that happens related to proximity is when i turn the phone over to face down while playing music, it pauses, but thats expected because i had that motion option enabled. Next, phone calls work fine and i hear people just fine, but the caller on the other end may have a problem hearing you sometimes. But it rarely happens and most times they can hear you. Easy fixes are bluetooth and earphones. Lastly, the home button definitely requires more pressure to press and the menu/back "buttons" are a little harder to get to but you'll get used to it. Thats the only thing "wrong" with this case honestly and its still excellent to have. I would highly recommend it. If you dont mind a little bulk, get it. Again, great great case :good:

I have a brand new one in original packaging from otterbox if anyone wants, contact me through dm or 6785162209

Personally speaking, at that kind of bulk, I'd rather shove in a 7200mAh Anker. Protection is nice and all but severely handicaps the phone IMO. If you like bulk, might as well triple your battery life.
Furthermore, if it does get scratched/cracked/broken, it's fairly easy to replace (for most members here). For example, you can swap the camera lens for a few bucks if it does get scratched.
I've had my GS3 for almost two years now. Been completely nude the whole time. No screen protector, nothing. There are many surface scratches on the screen which you can only see if you look at it while the screen is off under a super, super bright light. Doesn't affect the image quality at all. Outside frame (the gray part) is a little cracked in few places. Not a big deal.
Runs flawless on CM 10.2.1. Undervolted almost 100mV across the board.
I used to be OCD, but decided to save my health instead.

I myself looked for waterproof. I too believe as you do and went naked on previous phones. But now with a toddler and my part time job in swimming pool service, waterproof was the selling point.

I personally liked the armor series for my S3. I only stopped using mine due to needing to put my phone in my pocket and the armor didn't quite fit the bill. I use my lifeproof nud for daily use at work but when out playing around or working at the house I still use my armor series. And you definitely can't beat the otterbox warranty.

The only thing that makes me take mines off from time to time are the back and menu buttons but once i have it on it rarely comes off. And yea otterbox has great customer service imo. I love my case

Fair enough. I suppose we don't always have ideal circumstances to our liking.

LOL...I love my phone being slim and I can live with scratches. But after a few near misses with my toddler son and getting soaked a couple of times on the job, I decided I would have to give in. Bring without my phone even for a day would screw up my schedule. Amazing how much I depend on it.

I've also bought this case and it turned out to be just what I was looking for. Before I've had Griffin survivor which would be good enough for me except two things, it was not that easy to remove (I prefer naked S3 while not in a hostile environment) and it scratched my S3. After the latter happened I've immediately sold it.
But the reason to post is for everyone with menu/back/home buttons problem. After a proper inspection I've found out that the back cover of the case doesn't give enough support for installed phone. If the phone is fully pushed into the case there is approximately 1.5mm gap between the phone and the back cover. So after first push on menu/back/home button even if the phone is inserted all the way in to the case, the phone backs up a little and that gap moves from the back to the front. In order to solve this problem I've ordered 1.5mm thick silicone sponge to fill the gap between the phone and the back cover. One thing that bothers me about this is that waterproofness of the case might be broken if 1.5mm thick sponge is too much and even bigger problem is how test waterproofness as I don't want to sacrifice my phone. I'll report any pros or cons about my modification. If it solves this problem I'll post some pictures of modification.

I've had the Acase Superleggera Pro Dual Protection Case on my S3 since I bought it and I love it. I've dropped it so many times and not noticed any difference in performance. And it's not super bulky like the other 2 layer cases. It's also less than $10 at Amazon these days.

I tested its waterproof function without phone first and then finally just did it repeatedly with the phone and it hasnt failed me yet, hopefully never. And also ive noticed this gap, i wouldnt recommend filling it because it may compromise as u stated

For everyday protection sure it may be good, but when it comes to 10ft drop, water, being hit, stomped on, and numerous other things, the armor case is the best.

As I've said if not in hostile environment in my case this is mostly dusty air and greasy surfaces, I prefer my S3 naked. So Otterbox Armor is needed.

I tried with 1.5 mm foam and it was just a little too much. Now I am waiting for 1mm which I think it should work. As I've already said, in my case waterproofness is not really needed but I wouldn't like to brake it. Will report again.

I finally got 2mm foam as 1mm is hard to get. 2mm foam goes into gaps between ribs on the rubber on the back cover of the case. So this just might do the trick as the case closes ok.

The for the review, I have an Otterbox Defender and love it to death, but I've been thinking of buying one of these.

i have the Acase Superleggera Pro Dual Protection Case on my S3 and it is great!

Just got my new otterbox armor today!! Love it so far! Any way to tell if it's legit and not a fake? Lol... Paranoid I guess?

Not sure but I think that there's no fakes around. Enjoy it.
