Best case? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

What case works best and looks the best on the Epic 4G Touch? I found out that Incipio hasn't made a made a case for the Epic so I'm stuck trying to find another case. I want one that keeps the phone relatively slim and is protective. Any suggestions?

If price doesn't matter that much the casemate brushed aluminum barely there case looks great. I have a cheap TPU case which isn't bad looking and does the job well, but if I had money to spend I'd probably get the casemate. I think it sells for cheaper than 40$ if you look around enough.

Case mate
When i picked up my sgs2 they had the brushed aluminum case mate case for only $20 at the sprint store. It looks and feels wonderful. It easily snaps on and removed unlike some that always break the 2nd time you remove it. aka body glove
the only downside i would say is that its still a tad slippery if you know what i mean. With out the case the phone is easily dropped. This helps ALOT but is not grippy like some. I like it as i remove my case alot when flashing and this case is the king for that.

don't really like casemate.

What case do fellow Captivated people recommend?

I am looking for a new case for my captivate and seem to be at a stand still. I had the Incipio Edge clear case cause when I got my phone that's all they had at AT&T. I also didn't know the case comes directly from hell! Seriously, don't get this case no matter what. Your phone is better off naked then with the Edge. Anyway, I am wanting something that isn't to expensive, cool looking, and that will protect the phone well. I have looked at the Amzer Silicone color cases but was wondering if anyone had and liked it. Also have looked at Body Glove, but still unsure of what to get. Please whatever case you have drop a response and tell me what it is and if you like it. I would appreciate all the help I can get finding the right case that I know other people have and like. Thanks fellow Captivated Android fans!

I have the Body Glove Silicone case. I like it because it adds nice protection without much extra heft.

+1 It's a very nice case. Doesn't grip my pocket lining like most silicone cases. I usually prefer my phone naked, but after destroying my iphone 3g I figured I'd better be safer lol.
yes Body Glove FTW!!!
btw check the thread 'other source of Body Glove case' for cheaper deal than att.
I'm personally using the Amzer Jelly Case (which actually feels fairly solid) http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Silicone-Skin-Jelly-Case-Black-P88806.htm
available in a ton of colors and I like the elongated-X shape on the back. I'm not sure how it is with the other colors, but the white one shows it as being very opaque when it is partially translucent (I can still read the Galaxy S on the back)
haha yea trust me DO NOT get the stock cases that are 19.99...i hate it lol
I'm using the amzer crystal snap on case its great and for the price it's worth. Great look and feel with out adding much to the phone.

Bodyglove
I just got the Body Glove Mirage case also. I originally bought the OEM Carbon Fiber case directly from Samsung but returned it because it wouldn't snap closed completely. I liked the material because it felt sturdy with a nice grip but was concerned about the noticeable gap from the 2 pieces not closing properly.
The Body Glove is the best one I've seen so far although I'm not that fond of the design on the back. But it protects my phone so it's good until I find something else.
SeidioOnline has the Innocase II Surface that's "Coming Soon" which looks pretty decent. It actually looks similar to the Samsung Carbon Fiber but instead of 2 front and back pieces snapping together, it looks like a top and bottom piece kind of slides onto the phone.
Another one for Body Glove. Nice looking case and it does its job with not alot of bulk. I am looking forward to the Otterbox cases but its doubtful anything will impress me. Just too bulky but I like the protection they offer so we shall see
I am very happy with the zagg invisishield. I like that you really can't see it.
So far I have the Zagg Shield and the Body Glove Skin. But I think I'm going to get the new Body glove snap on case with the kickstand built into the clip. I find myself watching video more and more so the kickstand will come in handy.
And yeah I also made the mistake of getting the Incipio Edge case. That thing was awful. It took me 20 MINUTES to get the case off of the phone. I promptly returned it.
I currently have 3 cases. A clear plastic one from amazon. (pretty cheap and hard to get off, but a decent case for 3.99) then a clear smoke grey silicon jelly case from mr. hit (good case, add grip and looks nice too while adding protection for only 5.99!.) And the amzer luxe argyle tpu case. Which is a really nice case! A bit more pricey but worth every penny (14.99) I think. And I am a freak about protection, so underneath it all I have phantomskinz chromatic white carbon fiber stick on skin (for the days I don't wasn't to have a case on. And a plus is it looks really cool underneath the amzer luxe argyle case (and the clear smoke grey silicon one as well.)
I walked into an at&t store and a lady that worked there was amazed at my phone and showed it off to all of her co-workers.
All in all its really up to you and your taste. But IMO AMZER for the win. (or body glove tpu, as they are both tpu)!

argyle
i have the amzer argyle case (the whitish clear one) bought it from amazon and is like 2$ cheaper than the ones sold from main amzer.com. its great, the galaxy s on the back is very visible and offers protection just as good as the rubber body glove from att. way cheaper too.
I just got the body glove snap on case, with the belt clip. dosnt add alot of bulk to the phone, gives it a nice grip. good fit, all buttons and plugs easy to get to. also, found it on ebay for 17 bucks.
Body Glove Mirage case FTW!

Body Glove - real world test
Luckily, I bought the Body Glove (Mirage) last week because I dropped my phone today from about 4 or 5 feet high and it landed on asphalt. It simply bounced once and stopped. No screen scratches and not even a nick (sp?) on the case. Good stuff!
Thanks to everyone for their recommendations. I ended up going with the Amzer Jelly case in green. Awesome case that really protects my phone. Highly recommend it!

I definitely recommend the Body Glove Mirage as well. I have had the saladin captivate for only a short time but the moment I put this case on my phone felt thee times more secure in my hand. The back of the mirage case is like no other rubberized case I have ever used. It has a wonderful texture that gives the back of the phone a lot more grip. I highly recommend this case to anyone, get one while they're in stock. Almost every store that carries it in my area has been out of stock.

Case-Mate Tough is the #1 EVO case

I have finally found my love . The Case-Mate Tough case is hands down my favorite so far. The cases I have tried already, are;
- Body Glove case I bought the same time I picked up the EVO in the Summer, it looked so bad ass Sci/Fi cool in the box, but we all know this case blows, it cracks way too easy, and the plastic feel is not comfortable against face and too slippery, this case sucks.
- Otterbox - Commuter, I thought the quality was pretty good, but it was a very bulky and heavy case, and the back plastic not a good feel for holding the phone, too slick. The kickstand access is too tight, and phone wobbles when using it. Overall not impressed with the Commuter.
- Otterbox - Impact, my Brother has this case, and it feels great in the hand, and looks pretty good too, but can get a little lose around the sides of the phone, and is bulky. But I like this case #2, it feels good, and looks good, just a tad too thick.
- Case-Mate Tough, this is it baby This is easily, the best case of the ones I have tried. I was surprised at the slimness of this case for it being it a 2pc protection case, it is thinner than the Commuter + Impact, and my God the feel of the case is just perfect, I couldn't let go of the phone last night, it just feels so good in the hand, not slippery at all, but not too sticky either, just right. And it looks very professional, and just perfect. And great kickstand access. This case will really protect your phone well, but also look great, feel great, and is not crazy bulky/thick like other protection cases. Highly recommended.
Well based on your review im gonna pick one up since sedio will not rma my active case even though they re designed it, buncha assholes
so if it sucks im comming after you!

Here you go ...
Reviews, photos, even a video. I've had this case for a couple of months, and it is as good as the OP stated. I also had the Seidio "Active" case, which began to come apart in just a few weeks, and tried the Otterbox "Impact", which is a lint magnet. The Tough Case is a keeper.
http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-EVO-4G-Cases/Case-Mate-HTC-EVO-4G-Tough-Cases.asp
Thanks for the link, I forgot to post those official pictures.
The best thing about this case, is the feel. It just fits in the hand so nicely, and just feels great.
Yeah it is one of those "thicker" cases, but with the protection it delivers, it is one of the thinnest of the thick cases, if that makes sense. Meaning the Otterbox and other dual layer heavy duty cases, this is the slimmest in that category.
Now if you want, super model, waif thin, Case-Mate also makes a really pretty case, the "Barely There Case", I plan to buy this too, and just use on the weekends, or when going out to dinner or black tie event

I have one of the "Barely There" cases as well, and you are right ... it is very elegant ... really feels like there isn't a case on at all. It covers the back (especially the camera lens) and all four corners ... and is very nice for those who keep there phone in their pocket.

My first Active case had the outer layer peeling so I RMA'd it and they sent me a replacement one which was much much better than the original one I had, even the silicone part was better. Less prone to picking up dust. Though for the price I probably would've just gotten the Tough case especially since it's only 20 bones on newegg... but I don't believe it was out when I ordered the Seidio one... =T
Having this Tough case most of the week now I am in love Mainly due to the feel in hand, this case has the best materials for holding the phone comfortably, it just sits in your hand perfectly with not being too slippery nor too rubber sticky, it is just right. I can't put the phone down it is too sexy with this case.
here is 21 and some change

The casemate and the new sedio active hybrid....we will see which one sucks less then one is going back
Would you say it is worth replacing the Otterbox with the Case-mate or are they pretty comparable?

I had the Otterbox Commuter for a week, was not happy with it, it felt too plasticy, and slick, and was very thick/bulging case. I went into to Sprint store to check on some stuff, and the guy there had the Case Mate Tough on his EVO, I was like, wow that is cool looking, and looked to be a bit thinner than my Otterbox.
Bought it on the spot, and wow instant love, the feel of the case it what gets me, it just feels soooooo nice in your hand, and the back has a cool design, and the best kickstand cutout of any case I have seen. The Otterbox will never be back on my phone.
Case is adds too much thickness to the EVO....

I agree, it does, but it feels so nice in the hand, and offer great protection. I wish the case was thinner, but that would be impossible with the nice cushion it has.
What case do you like ?
I don't like the camera area on the case mate, ill stick with the commuter aka best evo case on the market
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Has anyone else tried this awesome case out yet ?
Well I had the sedio active (now named the active X)
I ordered the new sedio active x (hybrid) from here on reffered to as "the x" and the case mate from here on reffered to as the "CM"
Ill tell you this they are damn near identical. They both have a rubbery type feel to the plastic piece that wraps around the silicon case. There is no actual plastic that touches your phone its silicon with a plastic over wrap. The cm has more texure to its plastic outer shell than the X
They fit the phone about the same the volume and power I think are easier to hit on the x vs the cm
the pricing is about the same but the cm comes with a static type screen protector, cloth and application card. The x comes with nothing.
The x comes in a myriad of colors and holsters are availaible. the cm comes in two colors and there does not appear to be any type of holster availaible, however the cases are so close Id bet to say the sedio one would fit
cm offers a 90 day warranty (3 month)
x offers a 180 day warranty (6 month)
sedio generally has pretty good customer service (except in my case)
case-mate had been in business a zillion years
I think with everything being as it is, I have to say Id prolly go with the x
its not that the cm isnt a great case because it is, im going simply based off the accessory options and the warranty.
however with that being said....I should go with the cm because im mad at sedio now.

Who makes the thinnest case like gear4 for iphone?

Does anyone know of a case like the gear4 for iphone?
http://www.amazon.com/Gear4-Iphone-...PM/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1306965457&sr=8-17
My friend has one for his iphone and its so thin its hard to tell there even a case on it. It slips in and out of pockets with ease. No bulk at all.
whats the point of having such a thin case? it wont protect it much at all
Im not looking for it to protect it from dropping it, but more from scratches from putting it down on tables and bars and things like that. Right not i have a thin silicone case that will fall off if the wind blows to hard lol.
The case-mate barely there case is your best bet. I have one and I love it. It won't provide much protection from a drop but it's great for tossing the phone onto a table or desk.

Seconded. Not much drop protection, but thin and no scratches. I love mine, but I don't love how it doesn't cover the top and bottom of the phone.
Casemate...there is also a no name brand knockoff of the casemate on amazon. Just search for thunderbolt cases and look for a 1 piece snap on. There are not many to pick from.
I like to have a pouch case for my thunderbolt so I can still easily use my car dock. This one from Sena cases is awesome

The only one that comes close is made by LUXMO and is available on eBay.
I've bought a couple of these. Fits really well, though I don't know how thin it is compared to "gear4". But the mix of clear plastic and black TPU trim feels great.
I bought a smoke black argyl case off eBay for $5.99 and love it. Does not add much bulk at all and makes holdingnthe device slot better and also makes the buttons easier to push aswell.

Bought a case matte barely there, its perfect awesome case! no bluk slips in and out of my pockets with ease. very good choice.
Check out the cheap S-Line cases on eBay. I can't imagine a case getting much thinner than this. Plus, it's only ~$5-10, shipped. If you don't like it (yet to hear anybody not like it), then go get a more expensive one. But really, this is THE case to get if you want something different than the uber-protective cases.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067656
i got the s case. its pretty sick. decent protection. only thing is sometimes stuff gets in the case and you can see it through the transparent part.
I have the S-Line and Seido Innocase II Surface Case. The S-line is nice for the money, but to me it feels cheap. There's also no real size difference in the 2. The Sedio case is harder to take off at first, but once you get used to it it's super easy. I love my Seido case, but I would be ok if I only had the S-Line.
Also, to me nothing feels better than the naked phone. I'm too afraid to scratch or drop it though.
Here's some picture comparisons
I had one like that for my fascinate. I think vzw is calling it a "fusion" case.
I have the case-mate barley there case. I love the thing. Does exactly what i want it to do, protect the phone from getting scratched and dinged up while in my pocket.

Dude... This case is perfect. Thanks for the heads up!
It added better grip and it feels like a better phone all around.

Which is the thinest lightest case?

Ive read every review in this section but i cant figure out which one to chose. I need a case for my gf that adds as little weight and bulk to the sgsII as possible while still offering more impact protection than the stick on body protectors. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance

Yeah the TPU case is pretty neat I had one on my nexus and it felt smooth. Protection wise was ok I still didn't feel comfortable with it falling. I have the D30 case and it is slim lightweight and adds hardly any bulk. The downside is that the buttons are a bit hard to press and may take some getting used to. Their is a trick to work around it, but that's up to you. I think with either you won't go wrong, the silicon ones are terrible and get stuck in your pocket and provide minimal protection.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
If you want the THINNEST case the "incipio feather ultralight hard case" but be warned: all the research I've done indicates that case won't do jack **** if you drop your phone as one reviewer put it, its a cosmetic accessory not a protective one.
I went with the diztronix tpu case that the guy above with Amazon link has except in matte black. Its amazing adds little bulk and protects against falls pretty well. Its also matte on the back so it doesn't get stuck going in jeans, etc. Like other tpu cases do.

I'm going to get the incipio feather case, but its not a protection case. Its what I like though. I know a few others that like it, so you might. I usually get TPU cases for all of my phones, but I'm tired of that route. I'm looking for other alternatives too though.

That's what I got few days ago. I ordered the high gloss translucent smoke but I got the matte version instead. Waiting for a reply back when they get back into town from some convention. Thinking on getting the matte black now.
I've been using these TPU cases for 3 years or so now. Nexus One, G2x, Xoom, and now my SGS2.
I also like that they're easy take on and off for a quick battery pull or going into a dock. Even after multiple pull ons and offs, they don't stretch, sag, tear. They are great for the price.

thanks for the help guys. She went with the Incipio. I let you all know if it fails.
diztronic Matte Back Translucent Smoke Flexible came today and i've gotta say it's a very good case. Very thin, flexible, good grip, and gets the job done
If I can get one that ships to Canada, I'm going for the Diztronic as well.
I don't like how the Incipio doesn't cover the top and bottom of the phone. WHat's up with that.

You take an exacto knife and cut below and above the buttons.
I remember reading it from a thread on here. After a lot of usage mine is a lot easier to press. Didn't cut them.

There's another option that someone on XDA mentioned which requires sticking a small bit of paper to the inside of both buttons. He also included pictures in the post (do a search). This way you don't cut into your d30 case and reduce the life of the buttons. I found some glossy paper from an ad, a little bit thicker than normal print paper, and used a small piece of scotch tape to attach it underneath the buttons. It worked like a charm.

Good case with grip

I finally got my Note about a month ago and now I've been on the search for a good case with a good grip. I had a Case-mate POP for my Infuse and it was awesome.
I ended up picking up a Sparco (how ever you spell it) case from AT&T but for 40 bucks and being all plastic I knew I wouldn't like it. I ended up returning it and got a Seidio case. I thought having that black flexible material would provide a good grip but it doesn't, at least not for me, the plastic on the Seidio case provides better grip.
Not to make this to long, I'm just looking for a case that provides good protection and awesome grip. Anyone have good sugestions?
Case-mate POP for the Samsung Note....please!!!
Have you given the seidio case a thought? It looks like it was designed to give you a grip. Hehe.

Yes I have, I'm using the Seidio case right now and I thought it would have plenty of grip but it has less than the Sparco. When I'm texting I feel the Note slipping at times. I love the look of the Seidio but as far as actually use I can't stand it.
I'm looking at the Case Mate Tough right now but I was curious how much grip it provides. Spending another 40 bucks on a case is hard, I'm going to have more money invested in Cases than what I spent on the phone itselt haha.
Hey zkyevolved - I am using the el cheapo TPU cases that you get on ebay for less than $3. I know it sounds cheap (cos it is) but have found the build quality good, and the ribbed texture provided on each side is great for improving grip.
I've tried leather flip cases but they don't grip right. And using the note without a case is tricky - it looks amazing but is so slippery!
I was looking at those TPU cases at Newegg and the few times I've heard of them they've all been positive..and I guess for 3 bucks its not like your spending a lot to try them out.
I'll think I'll order one from Newegg and try it out.
I use TPU cases, and I just recently got this one:

Which is also quite good. I'll probably be using this one for a while. It was cheap, fairly fast delivery and it fits. The silicone is quite flimsy, but that's why it has the skeleton on it! It protects fairly well and it's certainly grippy. I thought this case would be a cheapo replica of the Seidio, I was wrong. If the Seidio isn't any good, then maybe the Seidio is the knock-off (and up!) case! hahaha.
Best of luck

Thanks zkyevolved!! Like the look of that one so have ordered it!
Time to change my TPU cases for a combo with silicone!
try this one amigo...
I just recently purchased it and it looks very nice with my white Note (I bought yellow one)
although its glossy but it won't slip...and it's so thin

I have this one in white. It's just as slippery as a caseless Note. :-(
