No, but Radioshack needs to learn how to make a advertisement properly...if anyone clicks on the link and sees the picture they know what I mean

Yep......Vibrant/4G =/= i9000

Actually the body of the Vibrant and the i9000 is the same, so it wouldn't matter.

If it was slimmer like the "pebble" some phones have, than I would definitely consider it. But I'd prefer a small cord you can easily move to the side, rather than the mat. Plus, if your texting while charging and you prefer to actually hold your phone while texting, there would be a lot of "plugging/unplugging" so to speak. (Not literally plugging in, but you know what I mean. Lol).

it looks interesting i would buy it but i would have to see what people have to say first seems kinda iffy

They had this at walmart. Fits vibrant and galaxy s 4g. Was considering it but it adds some thickness to the phone so decided not to. Only $40 tho

I thought someone posted that the fit was terrible on these? That people had ordered them, but ultimately returned because they were too loose.
EDIT Scratch that... I'm thinking of these http://www.power-skin.com/battery-cases/ap1505i90/samsung-galaxy-powerskin.html

My powermat had finally come in and mine seems to fit fine.No wobble or anything!

I just got mine today fits with no problem at all and it is snug.... it works great i love it....

How's the thickness of it tho? Does it add a lot? I was looking at getting one also, but wanted some reviews first.

it isnt much bigger, the bump on the back is still there all it does is replace the back cover on the phone i can always take before and after pics if you want.....

I would love to see some pics. Also that tab that sticks up on the top, is it removable? Not really digging that. Thanks.

TPU-Cases.com has a limited selection available already. My last two phones have been lovingly wrapped in these. Excellent customer service, great price/quality value.

The pics on the two black ones look right. It's probably Photoshopped but given my order history and communications with them I do trust these guys to actually send the right product.

i have one of these coming to me, already shipped. Luckily I got it for free to review, and i will post up pics and reviews once i get my epic on friday evening.

I got mine yesterday. It's the right one even if the pic is wrong. I got the blue glitterflex.

This place seems to have a variety of cases in stock for the Epic 4G Touch. I've never ordered anything from them.
wwwDOTaccessorygeeksDOTcom/samsung-epic-4g-touch-rubberized-hard-case-blue.html

Got my review case from TPU, matte back black. Will post a review come Friday [:

I've already received mine without a phone to put it in
Order from this place, the guy is great, a great supporter of xda and the prices are even better.

I also have a case from TPU, and my 1st impression on it is very good. Nicely made, looks good, and doesn't look like it will add much thickness to the phone at all (thin is one of my main desires from a phone + case combo). I'm most likely gonna buy a couple other cases from them, just to get some different colors and such

Ordered Tuesday night and got my smoke grey tpu case today. Going to take it to the sprint store tomorrow and slap it in on as soon as its activated.

I picked up my Epic 4G Touch this morning so I'll get better pictures posted to our website and Amazon shortly.
The cases fit the phone great and look even better. However the free screen protectors we included are a failure. We kept the price the same on our cases so really they were just freebies anyways but I'm sure some of you will still be a bit disappointed. They are cut to be the EXACT size of the screen which makes it almost impossible (I tried 5 times and couldn't do it) to get them on without the sides bubbling. Not sure what we will do about this yet. For the time being I'm going to stop advertising them as coming with a free screen protector (they still will though) so people aren't counting on them. I'll let you guys know when I have a solution to the screen protector issue.

The case fits great, but man is the matte finish make for a slippery surface!
Any chance you will consider making a cut out for the volume keys, kind of hard to push.
Great product, as always

Wow, this kind of honesty from a company/retailer is surprising. Honestly makes me want to give them my business... Please keep us updated if you have a solution/suggestions for the screen protector issue.

Skyrocket cases?

Are cases and batteries interchangeable between the Hercules and Skyrocket? The phone looks exactly the same

Does anyone have both to compare? If they're physically the same then the cases will fit both.

they are identical phones, except for the radio which is LTE

This is incorrect. The rear speaker is on the opposite side of ours. So the cases may fit but the speaker will be muffled due to being blocked.

meh that's just a minal thing, easily rectifiable with a exacto knife

this is the biggest advantage of owning an iphone. It doesn't matter which carrier you use accessories will work on any of them. the skyrocket is the same exact phone (ignoring LTE) except the placement of the speaker? that is just stupid. I hope htc and samsung learn that companies will be more likely to give their products a better selection of accessories when their products reach more people. Samsung has 5 different galaxy sIIs. Thats crazy.

Probably the only advantage LOL

I'm wondering if this would work too ... the SGP Neo Hybrid cases look pretty sweet. Even if the speaker is on the other side it would work well.
I wonder if they are going to make a T-Mobile/Telus version of the case??
EDIT: After checking it out, the headphone and second mic hole on the top are on the opposite sides as well ... so that sucks. I really hope they make another version.

Was thinking the same thing noticing that since it's on AT&T, they will be getting an Otterbox. Looking forward to the Seidio Active case and holster, though.

I've asked SGP..they have no plans when I first asked except for their screen protector. But recently they have changed to they're thinking about it.

They are shaped slightly different, battery doors are completely different, speaker is on the other side. Your a mod bro, come on! (its a playful tone. I know you can't hear me but I'm just joshin you). But seriously, the cases wont work, the skyrocket is *slightly* thicker too. Look at go to "Samsung phones" and look at the dimensions (not to mention pics), its .1mm thicker. If you look at the pics side by side (I am as I type) the t989 is much more rounded where the skyrocket is more squared off like the i9100.

Unless you upgrade from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 4S. The buttons are off just enough that you have to buy all new cases. haha

What I meant is that a iPhone 4S on sprint is the same as att or Verizon. 3 carriers one phone design is something case manufacturers have to love.

Does your backing plate have any "give"?

mines has a bit of in and out "give" when i press on it. especially right underneath where the camera juts out.
i cant tell if thats the way its meant to be or not. i've not noticed it up until now, but it seems odd. its flush with the back of the device all over, except underneath the camera, where its kind of slack
anybody elses like this?

mine is. Its not a big deal. Thats the closest to a physical flaw and i dont even consider it that.

yeah, i figured
i just never remembered it doing that for the last week and i was worried i'd broken a clip inside or something

Yes, around where the camera is at on the left side! =)

Mine has it too

Not on mine...my cover is snug.

Slight creaky-ness to it around the edge, just below and to the right of the camera!

There are two types of back covers. One with the Google and Samsung words written Dully. One Bright. The bright one has none of that push in and out feel. The dully written one does. That's my experience with the backcovers....

mine is snug no movement

Not on an HSPA+ version. They are two totally different shaped batteries.

GoGoStand

With the lack of a kickstands on our Galaxy nexus it has many of us searching for a solution ... there is one kickstand case online but IMHO its an eyesore and does not look durable at all. Which caused me to continue looking, and tis is what I found.
The GoGoStand is portable (same size as a credit card), durable, cheap ($5 from gogostand.com), and has many viewing angles for different uses.
I purchased it expecting nothing but found myself using it all the time. I store it in my tpu phone case and it fits perfectly, even with the extended (2000mah oem) battery.
I highly recommend this to all galaxy nexus users as its extremely useful for an on the go stand with multiple viewing angles.
Btw, this will work with and without cases and also comes in several colors.

Looks interesting. And at that price, it couldn't hurt to try. Gonna buy 3 of them and we'll see how it goes.

i first got one of these when i just got my nexus one. it's pretty reliable and i just leave it in my wallet. i was worried that numerous times you fold it would eventually weaken it, but it's still able to hold my gnex just fine.

i got one of theses a long time ago and it's still in my wallet. doesnt get too much use but when i want it, its there. no problems at all with durability

Have you seen the Seidio Active case? It has a kickstand. We've been discussing it on the case sticky.

But the sides on that case is fugglyyyy... Not sure why they made it that way, indentation for the fingers??

Yes, I also ordered another one to put into my wallet in case I don't feel like taking the case halfway off. I take my case off at least once a day anyways as I change batteries.

dont use it often, but will come in handy when needed

Same, thanks to itsjusttim's post I ordered 4 - arrived really quickly and they're great.
Best solution I've seen so far. And the bronze one matches the colour of the GN really well.

Are you guys using your phones a ton for video and what not, and that is why you need a stand? I use it for short youtube clips, but even when I had my Evo and Thunderbolt, I never really used the kickstand for media. It was more something to play with when I was bored.

I stream a lot of Youtube and Revision3, but also use it for charging (clock). Useful for music as well using the speaker I can project against a wall or the stand itself instead of just straight up or down.
