White Silicone case vs Black Silicone case

I've been able to compare both colors in my Universal. The reason, I ordered a white Silicone case - as my model is silver/white color - in Ebay, and received from Hong Kong a black one... damm it!... but the sellers' reaction was pretty good and fastly sent me a new white one as well.. good seller.
In the end, I have both colors..
I thought white color (cream, almost transparent) was gonna fit in much better than the black one, but must admit the black one is much more beautiful. it makes it aparently more compact, nicer, even though mine is sylver.
In the end, if I had to choose again, I'd choose Black, despite it is a bit dirtier than the white one, and gets more dust.
the only thing I am a bit dissapointed at is that Sil. cases don't really protect your UNIV. from almost any fall down or so, they are so thin!..

jmcl, where did you order it from? do you have any pictures of it?
thanks.

I am in Spain, bought it from Hong Kong. I think you can also buy it from there, but not sure about that.

I have the black silicone case and am really happy with it. I ordered the black one from ebay and it came just as promised from Bangkok to the Netherlands without probs. Ordering from ebay was also easy using paypal that also has some buyer protection. I also thought the black would look weird with my silver universal, but it looks really good, it's a nice combination. I decided to go with this one over the boxwave silicone cases because I didn't like the pictures. They showed that the cut-outs were off and didn't show the way a universal looked normally (only portrait mode and poorly at that). Google for silicone case, dopod 900 and find a site called pda4thai and find some nice pics of the black case.
In use I can recommend a silicone case. It may not protect well against a good fall, but it will certainly help prevent one for me. When handling my universal I have a good amount of grip on it, whether closed or open, thus preventing it from sliping out of my hand or off of a table. Also it protects my device well from any dirty/fatty fingers that you may have.
As to transporting capabilities, I use the silicone case in combination with the piel frama pouch case (with the silicone case on the universal slides in slowly, but surely) and then use the headset to receive calls/listen to music.

Just change .ebay.es to .ebay.com (or whichever country you are in!) and you can then purchase that item with your ebay ID...

Crystal cases for Uni

I am considering getting one after my O2 got a new body, so was wondering if anyone used a crystal case and whether it's a good idea, whether they slip off at all, whether there is any damage to the points of contacts, edges etc. At the moment all of my Unis and variants live in leather book-type cases with clear keyboard covers, I am sure you know the type. The crystal cases are fairly cheap, I used one for my Magician and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, but have my reservations about the clamshell form factor.

Maybe it was just the type that I got but I had problems with the crystal case preventing me from being in tablet mode. It wouldn't let the screen lie flat against the keyboard. I have found that the aluminum case is the best...

I noted crystal cases also come with a belt clip moulding on the flat part that would be against the table in laptop mode, so I guess lying the JasJar flat against the table and typing would be difficult as well. I have my leather book-type cases, just thought crystal case would be a nice addition. On further examination I realised probably not.

In their pictures it looks like it doesn't fit very well - the VideoCam hole isn't lining up well. Is this true, or just a poorly shot picture?

It´s a bad picture, I have been using this ones and believe me it fits perfect! as a medical glove

I have that one as well. The only thing that doesn't line up well is the spine-the power connector and audio connector and such. BUT, it's hardly a problem since the skin is flexible and i can still connect the power and usb cables without any effort. I love the feel of it now and it looks a lot better than it did. I recommend it. I even tried to find this skin for my hermes and wizard. Unfortunately, I have the versions of these that aren't supported. Can't beat the price though for the Uni.

Seems to be good, but shipping to Bulgaria costs $8.50 for item with price $0.99 ....

Yeah it is expensive. Anyone fancy buying in bulk and selling on eBay?!

Should hint to DealExtreme, haha, they do free postage to a lot of places. For me in NZ postage costs are always a problem and something we just accept as a part of life As one example - I just paid 3GBP to send a tiny internal speaker for LG Prada (we are talking an item the size of a pinky nail) to NZ, while the only other place selling the same part wanted 11 EURO!!!!
Lots of silicone cases for Unis, all selling for 99c or so, just have to find the best priced postage.

My first silicon case was sent to me form Hong Kong, I paid $15 for the shipping and $5 for the silicon case back in 2005...

Matte Black Back Cover

Hey,
I've been looking to get a matte back cover for my arc, on the grounds that I think the shiny back looks a bit cheap and the matte ones are easier to hold and feel better.
I was just wondering if anyone is selling, or knows of anyone selling, these back covers either in Europe (to avoid the huge delivery times on most on eBay), OR for less than £9.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Battery-Back-...Parts_Tools&hash=item3a66f6d28e#ht_3458wt_905
Thats the thing I'm on about, but they all seem to be imported from Asia and quite expensive for what's basically a thin piece of plastic.
Also, if anyone DOES have one, what's it like to use? Are they loose or anything, basically are they built up to standard?
Cheers all!

Go for it, same as the one I bought and love it...
Battery Cover
...and didn't take too long to arrive.

Looks great!
Also, my current back cover actually wobbles a bit under very little pressure so i should buy a new one anyway. Definitely going for matte by the looks of things
Edit: Ordered!
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App

Would just like to confirm, mine just arrived today, and it is SO much better!
Anyone who doesn't like the slightly cheap feel of the phone, buy one. Honestly it makes a world of difference!

Got mine yesterday and it fits perfectly, the feel in hand is way, way better also the squeaky sound from the original one is gone!
I'm very happy with this cover.
If someone is wondering to buy it or not, don't and get it.

Did the same things as I couldn't take the wobble feeling anymore. If the matte cover still wobbles, I probably have to buy a case or move on to another phone. Unfortunately, others make ugly phones. Only Atrix is somewhat impressive of the rest.

any options for Misty Silver??

Hi,
I searched on ebay and want to order one black & one silver. But there is no info available on ebay whether the back cover is matte or just like original.

Silver:

Black one is matte. The shiny one is listed as blue.

Thx all.
Received mine after two weeks (Reunion Island).
The cover is perfect !
Here's a picture of my arc silver with the matte black cover.

i know its supposed to be a back cover, but i find this extremely useful too.

just just a matte black shell. fits well and quality i would say, its better than its price of $2.40 with free shipping
for sharing!

I also ordered a matte black back cover... I hope it will give my arc a more solid feel.

I'm going to get one for my Arc. The original one is easy to get fingerprint @@

Im going to order the matte black cover for my arc

nice....but anyone know of which case it'll fit into with this new back cover? the leather case I have right now has a contoured back...

hm... I think all the cases are compatible. I've got the gel case from ebay, the leather one in the retail package and both fit perfectly.

I dont think there is one that adds a kickstand without adding some bulk
I picked up:
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...te-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-Pop-with-Stand-Cases.asp
From Amazon UK
Attached an image to give you an idea of how much bulk it adds, hope it helps. The case feels great and offers good protection.
The kickstand, although it feels flimsy, supports the phone perfectly (at least for now).

I just got this one, Doesnt add any more bulk than a standard TPU case except for the two little hinge bumps
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180934530324
a couple other pics:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Clear-Soft-...932810?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a77f957ca
I got clear because I love the color of my phone but they have different colors available. It doesnt add any extra bulk as the standard S line tpu cases except what I said before the two little hinge bumps

I think this case looks phenominal imho. Nice and slim and comes with a holster clipto protect the front.

I have this: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-active-kickstand-case-black-p/csk3ssgs3k-bk.htm
ive always been a fan of the active cases. this is certainly a more sturdy option, i think the build quality and fit is really good.
its probably on the thinner side of kickstand cases while still offering some good protection.
edit, technically i bought it from amazon for 5 bucks cheaper: http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-ACTIVE...=1344710931&sr=8-14&keywords=galaxy+s3+seidio

I got this one from ebay. It's perfect except for the fact that top and bottom aren't completely covered.

looks to be the same one I posted above except the ebay one doesn't appear to come with the holster.
Sad, because it really is practically a perfect case with the holster.

Has anyone bought cases by Rock?

Hey guys!
I came across a few TPU cases by Rock.. Flip and back-only. Anyone heard of or used them? Couldn't find any reviews for the case.. I'm not sure about the TPU quality and transparency of the back (for the flip one). Check them out, heres the link:
Flip: http://www.rockphone.cn/en/Html/Product/507.html#next
Back only: http://www.rockphone.cn/en/Html/Product/517.html#next
:good:

I bought this one ( search ROCK big city Brand New Leather Folio Case Cover Pouch For HTC One M7
in ebay) in navy, turned out to be a bit too shiny/shimmery for me. If your interested I can sell it to you from UK, unused with retail packaging.

the back only cover arrieved yesterday. great looking, good feeling and perfect match. just a few rather sharp edges, which i removed with my nails.

Good to know! Two questions for you -
1. Is the TPU flexible? If so, is it like completely flexible or just a little?
2. Is the case too shiny? Like candy colours (think: Nokia Lumia)?

1. its rather hard, looks not like TPU, hard plastic would i say, but still flex enoth to fit it
2. the grey one is not that shiny, matt i would say

I ordered the black one, and it just arrived today. Bit of a shame I don't have a phone to put in it, because it looks great. It is glossy, but not overboard. Maybe similar to the gloss on the original PS3? But don't quote me on that, I only owned the slim.
My One should arrive tomorrow. Once it does, I'll post up some pictures so you guys can check it out.
As far as Rock cases go though, I had one for my One X and I really liked it. I would def recommend you guys check them out. Or also Capdase. I just got a white case from them today as well. Both very nice. One is glossy, one is matte.

Thanks! Looking forward to the pics

Do you order straight from their website ? I had their case for my s3 and loved it but then a whole ton of knockoffs started coming out.

So my phone arrived, and I had it in the Rock case within about 5 minutes. I'm in Korea for the day, so I'm trying it out. So far: really like it. The case fits like a glove. Doesn't snap on really tight like some, but there is absolutely no movement. I actually prefer this to the ones that make you think you are going to break your phone putting on/taking it off. The black on black looks so good! It's super thin, so the phone shape is maintained. It also has a very slight lip around the edges on the front so you can put it down on it's face, if you want.
The negatives: the black is a fingerprint magnet. I guess that's why they bundled a cloth in the package. The other is I am afraid I'm gonna drop my phone and it will break. I attribute the fear to having just got the phone, as well as being pretty hungover . If I were to drop the phone, the case wouldn't do much to protect it. It's more like a scratch guard.
Anyway, so far I really like it. I bet the coloured ones on the black would look ridiculous good. I'll add pictures when I get some time.

I have Rock "Quicksand" case with the Xperia S.
Dropped it from around waist level to the hard ground. No scratch.
So.. when I got One, I quickly try to find a Quicksand series but they don't seem to made it yet.
