Anyone know of a case like this? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Bumper cases are common for iphones. I really like the look and feel of them. Does anyone know of anywhere to find them for our device? I've looked everywhere it seems like! Here is a few pictures..

I think they're stupid on the iphone because I remember how they were released to address the antenna issues. Still, I just looked at a review of one (from youtube) for the SGS II and they're pretty cool since they protect the edges and still allow you to easily pop off the battery door to change the battery or swap out sd cards (or even use extended batteries). I'm kinda hoping they come out with them for our phones now...

This is the company that makes them, funny that this video was posted because I was just looking at the SGS2 cases they make and I was really looking at that same one.
Hope SGP makes it for our device.

Those are some of the nicest cases I have seen for non-iPhones. Please make them for our version.

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.

If you look at the picture, it is actually sgs2 picture not the epic 4g touch. Camera is not the same on it as the epic 4g touch

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.

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.

just ordered one lol
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.
nice... here's mine I made using some card from casino.

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.

Bumper case

I know that this topic has been discussed before so sorry for a repeat thread but has anyone discovered a bumper case yet for our phone or perhaps tried out a case for a different phone that fits ours?
Perhaps if we get enough people we can contact sgp about making their neo hybrid ex case for the e4gt..

Look on ebay or google it. their are literally thousands of different bumpers for the e4gt
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Ebay does in fact have bumper cases, but none with an open back.
Modifying (cutting out the back) the existing ones from what I understand makes the surrounding edges loose.
their are a bunch on ebay that do have the back cut out cant remember who the seller/manufacturer is though. I think this is one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Smoke-Black...ccessories&hash=item35b7e3ef5a#ht_4330wt_1185

I've got three of these (there as cheap as 3.50 shipped if you dig), the green/clear, black/clear and a frost/frost. I've got a white/clear on the way for my white ET4G. I like them personally. Not exactly like the iPhone bumper cases but close enough.
Pictures speak volumes. Can take more if wanted/needed of the other colors.

Seems fine to me, then again I've only had my ET4G since 1/8 and I came from an Evo with a tumor (extended battery) so ANYTHING would seem thin to me.

I'm at work which blocks ebay links but most of the links in this thread point to a version of the case I have. When I get home later (or my notebook at lunch) I can post a link to the exact auction for my green case.
So is that the one with the clear back? If so you can't even tell, it looks like it has an open back.

It is the one with the clear back. I'll get a picture of it off the phone to hopefully capture better how clear it is. In person you can tell its there but IMHO it looks very nice and clean.
Here is a link to the green bumper case I have pictured.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEON-GREEN-...NG-EPIC-4G-TOUCH-D710-PROTECTOR-/400250640556
The attached hopefully gives a better idea of how "clear" the back plastic is. I personally like the added protection for the camera went setting the phone down on a table.
Can you take pictures of the sides please I want to see how it covers the volume and power buttons.
Hope these help, kind of hard to get decent pictures that close without a macro lens.
I should mention that I personally have no trouble with button usage on this case. Though truth be told I've had this type of case on my phone since I walked out of the Sprint store with it.

What are the odds that I could remove the back of it without compromising the integrity of it?? In your opinion..

I honestly have no idea.
Totally taking a guess I FEEL it would loose quite a bit of integrity. While the back is sturdy I can bend it if pushed hard enough. The TPU/Gel/Candy 'bumper' i feel wouldn't have anything to pull it back together and would likely loose shape over time. Then again that whole last bit is my opinion and me more or less talking out my ass. For about or less than 4 bucks shipped I'd say its worth ordering one and giving it a shot if you're really curious about it.
Good luck!

Life Proof Case

Hey guys I have some good news. I emailed Life proof asking if they have plans for making their case for the S3 and new iPhone and this is the response I received:
Thank you for your email. Our LifeProof design team is hard at work designing cases and accessories that can accommodate the majority of devices and applications out there, including other smartphone platforms such as the Android, HTC, Galaxy and others. You can stay updated on all of our product updates and releases via our Facebook Fan page at http://www.facebook.com/lifeproofcases. Thank you and have a wonderful day!
So hopefully it shouldn't be too long before we see some of these cases hit the market. Or at least get some news.

While I would be all over a case from lifeproof, I wouldn't get your hopes up. That response is the same canned one they have been sending out for months. They keep saying they are working on other phone brands, but have yet to come out with anything. They even posted pretty much the same thing on their Facebook Page like 8 or 9 months ago.
Try SGP products, such as Argos providing full protection. It's a vertical-flip leather casing. It also gives a pure leathery feel.

You know a lot of people say that, and if I were just paddling on a lake or hanging on the bunny slope that would probably offer enough protection. (its what I do when I go to the beach) I really don't think that would even come close to the kind of coverage I would need for my uses though. Class 5 Rapids and zip lock baggies are not exactly the best of friends.
Right now I just leave my phone in my car or stick it in my dry bag and bring a waterproof Panasonic camera, and I am fine with that. It would be nice to have a lifeproof type option though, and I would be willing to pay for it.

If your looking for a waterproof solution and are able to go a few days without your phone or have a back-up check out www.liquipel.com
I originally had my Nexus S treated by Golden Shellback, but they nolonger offer individual sales. but was referred to liquipel as they do a similar treatment.
Ive yet to use liquipel but LOVED the treatment Shellback did on my Nexus.
Basically they nano coated the components of your device so rather then blocking water from getting into your phone, this treatment waterproofs the components and allows the water to flow freely thru your device without causing damage to it.
If you go this route, when you get your phone back just throw it into whatever case you want n your golden.
Why exactly do you need your phone in class 5 Rapids? Texting?

pictures, gps or god forbid something happens and you need to make an emergency phone call ?
Pictures, video, gps, music. No cell reception on the river, have to radio a Ranger station if anything goes wrong. Supposedly US Cellular just got a big grant to greatly expand cell coverage across the less populated parts of Maine, may eventually be able to text from on the water
I have read about liquipel and it sounds pretty good. It is more designed for accidental drops and splashes though it isn't truly waterproof.
A lifeproof case also seems like it would be toddler proof, that would be nice too!

Yeah I'm tempted to try liquipel, but I'm still attempting to persuade Golden Shellback to do it for me since I'm a 3x repeat customer.
Their process is similar to what liquipel does, but rather then putting the device as a whole into the chamber GSB disassembles the devices first to ensure every component is coated thoroughly during the bonding process

[ALLUMINUM CASE] Iphone-like case for Galaxy S3 !

Hi guys, no a long time ago we saw a chinesse website selling Iphone-like aluminum case for GS3. But this website was WAY too creepy and unsecure. I've found the same product over here : www .casefanatic.com/samsung-2/galaxy-s3/metal/hunterf-galaxy-s3-thin-alu-bumper-case/ no spacing
on a secure website and with a lot of choise for color !
I've ordered one today ! :laugh:
looks like an ad...
look cool
If you want your phone to look like an iPhone then but am iPhone and not some cheap look alike.
Even come topped off with a brushed bezel haha
Well, not a bad idea, I wonder about the reception quality though since a metal case also shields the built in antenna..
I have one, and I have to say that I have got it not because I want my phone to look like an iPhone, but I like the metal touch and sturdiness my SG3 has now.
I have notice some minor wifi signal but has far as gsm, there was no loss (that was one of mine concerns).
I can say that I am happy with the results.
Ordered mine today.
hmm thinking of getting this case but some comments on the video said it blocks service. can anyone confirm?

wifi and cellular reception will drop dramatically. I used this. no doubt it gave the phone an awesome looks and feel but i couldn't live with very low reception.
Just received it, it's really nice. Haven't noticed any difference in signals. Still need to check NFC.
Ordered the black/silver. Don't like the combo, so I'll be ordering the all silver.

I don't have this case but I tried using a different case with a metal backing and NFC (including S-Beam) is blocked. It was only the backing and not all around so I can't say for sure if the signal strength will be affected by this case. Looks very cool though.
