For anyone in the market for an ultra-cheap Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) case, DealExtreme has started carrying a translucent case for our phones.
I just happened across this while browsing DealExtreme, so I have no idea what the quality is, but the price is certainly right at $2.30 shipped.
This being DealExtreme, of course you'll have to wait a few weeks for it to arrive if you buy one.\

Ye I got mine from karendeals.com. Tpu argyle printed on the inside-super slim. Well worth the 2-3 dollars. I dont know if they meant to but they sent me 3 but I paid for 2.
Links....?
here's the link, looks interesting

I'm placing an order.
For $2.30, I can afford to order it and toss it if I don't like it.
I have a D30, but hate the bubbles on my realook. Maybe this will fit better.
yeah i got one of those as well
although i must say i like the D3O cases better
if the D3O was not free, i would have stayed with that transparent TPU from DX
which is the same one i'm using on Nexus S
it gives a very good grip and feel to the phone
Awesome. Placed an order right away. Was looking for one of these cases. Thanks a lot.
I was just about to order this on the bay 5pack for $9.90,,black, white, blue, purple, and red. Give the gf whichever one she wants as I got her a sgs2 when I got mine. They call it swerve case on the bay. Does anyone know how much bulk it adds?
Just wondering has anyone got their order shipped yet? Its been a few days now and still no response.

I have had my thunderbolt for about a month now and it is naked. I dont know if i should wait for an otterbox or a ballistic case or just buy something like the active x
as long as you're careful, I say leave it naked!
My recommendation is, if you don't know what you want, then go cheap for now until you do know. The S-Line can be had for just a few bucks ($3-7) on eBay (and some other web-based stores sell it too, I believe) and is an good case. Not amazing, but good to excellent. It will last you until you know what you want, and may be what you want.
I just got my active x case today in the mail. I was tired of waiting for Otterbox to release its case. I'm extremely happy with the case.
i went cheap, cases aren't the quality i like and well... they suck.
i like my case-mate pop case, shinny back gets stratched but i can live with it. the rubber deteriorating that users complained about is more like tiny eraser shavings on mine from the friction going in and out of my pocket, but it comes and goes. i'm still closely examining it. its a GREAT case, kind of thick, but lots of protection.
i might get the case-mate barely there case since i'm very careful with my phone.
another suggestion is the HTC (OEM) TPU case, I like QUALITY TPU cases because they're thin and the material is great.
+1 for the case mate pop, got mine 20% off (use google to search for coupons, 2 minutes saved me $8 lol), standard shipping, case ordered friday morning and delivered via first class mail monday afternoon. I like the fit, I like the protection, and I honestly think the white case is bad ass (makes my phone look like a storm trooper IMO). Otterbox has no plans of releasing a commuter case based on my communications with them and the defender is just overkill for my needs.
wouldnt waste my money on the pop case. im on my second one and it already jacked up.

99% of the people Ive seen have problems with them. I wouldnt take my chances.
On Ebay I found an Otterbox knock off for thirteen dollars with no shipping cost. Had the built in screen protector and all which I promptly removed because it sucked. Came with a hard snap on shell and a rubber case to put around that. It doesn't look to bad at all and was a lot cheaper than Otterbox.

+1 for the case mate. I got mine in white. BTW I contacted case mate about the rubber wearing out. (i take my phone out of the case a lot to swap out batteries) and they sent me another case for free and let me keep my old one. 2 for 1 bonus!

The Seidio Surface case fits very well, doesn't add much bulk to the phone, and probably comes in any color you're likely to want. Seem to be available at a variety of prices, so pretty good deals to be had.

+1. Doesn't add too much bulk like the OB defender, and still feels good in the hands. No problems with cracking after a drop nor with rubber deterioration.

i am looking for a case that would protect if it was dropped and bumped around
After purchasing a soft case at the Verizon store where I bought my TB, I chucked it a few days later after it fell off a bunch of times. I ended up buying the Seidio Innocase II Surface Case on ebay. Best case imho.
It fits well and seems pretty sturdy. I know it's a pricey case, but I'm looking at the long-term in not having to buy a bunch of "cheaper" cases down the road when one will suffice.

The active-x from seidio worked for me. I've dropped it from about 3-4 feet with no ill effects. Doesn't add to much bulk, but is a little pricier than some cases. Use disc2011 for 10% off.

This was under $4.00 shipped. I don't expect a lot, but for the price, I had to give it a try. They have them in black also.....I'll post back when I get it.

EDIT** Just got the case in and it's ok. It fits snug and looks good in white. It has a soft touch feel that is less slippery than the phone itself. For a sub $4 case....it's worth it.
If it's like the ones on eBay....put it on and leave it on lol. There's little tabs that interlock in the corners and they tend to snap off when you take it off. They look good and seem to work fine up until then. Let us know.

I just bought one of these too. It shipped but still waiting on delivery. Case looks nice and the reviews weren't terrible. Hopefully it won't scratch our devices.

I just got one of these. Best case ever. Doesnt come off when you drop the phone. Easy to get off if you need to do a battery pull. Has grip on the sides of the phone that acually work. And its 2$. No complaints. Better then any at the sprint store.

I got the $5 cheapo case from ebay (looks like the one in the OP, but black) and this thing is rock solid. I'm still waiting for Trident to come out with their case, but until then I'll keep rockin this case. I've dropped it a couple times and only once did the edge split open a little bit. It didn't damage the snap clip though. I've also taken it off several times, but I use a safe pry tool just because it's easier and still no damage to the snaps.
Would buy again
My case came today
For those interested, I received the case. Build quality is pretty good considering I spent about $4. The white looks nice and gives the phone some more grip (but not much). As for taking the case off and putting it back on, I wouldn't recommend doing so. I also have the TPU case in matte black but I prefer the white color.
I haven't gotten mine yet. It says it shipped but the postal code won't track.....ordered on Sunday.
Search ebay ( can not post links yet )
Did anyone buy this case ? and how is it ?
They make similar cases for other versions of SG2 and they have belt clip
as well for them . Except for this one. I was wondering if maybe we can use belt clip from the other and case from this one.
I have tried to contact a seller about this but to no avail.
You can post an item number cant you?

I ordered it yesterday. Should be here in a few days. Dunno about the clip, but the case looks nice to me. I got the yellow/black one.

ordered one as well, will let people know how the fitment etc is.
thanks op for the info. looks like a decently protective case for a decent price.
anyone else order one and then recieved an email back saying the one you ordered was out of stock and to choose another one? i told the seller to send me another color i preferred and have not heard back from him yet.
This is the Reiko case, you can see a better review of it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433988
I bought one a couple weeks ago, so far I'm liking it. It's a dust magnet, like all these rubberized cases are, but the fit is VERY snug. If you don't mind the extra bulk, it's really a damn solid case. (And for the price you can't beat it.)
That seller has some nice looking cases.
Got mine today. I really like it, but it adds A LOT of bulk.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
i recieved mine today. first off they were out of stock of the black ones he just forgot to unlist it, but he was real understanding and sent me another color. shipping was quick. the plastic part seems pretty cheaply made, but it fits perfect, snaps together fine, pretty comfy case. all in all i give it 7 outta 10.
I bought one of these too & just got it today. It's a very solid case & adds quite a bit of bulk to the phone, so people who like a minimalistic look probably won't like it. The plastic shell feels kinda cheap and the power button isn't as prominent as my ballistic case, but overall I really like it. I got the purple & black one, and the purple is a nice dark shade, NOT pink, hooray!
I'm really looking for recommendations here as I'm having a hard time finding something good. I just got my wife a galaxy nexus (sprint) and looking for a good case, probably the rubbery kind, but purple or pink or similiar.
Anyone give any links, recommendations or other? Thanks in advance!
ebay, My girlfriend has the verizon gnex and she got one of the cheap cases off ebay, it's translucent purple and pretty thin. I have an otterbox commuter on order for mine. They also make tpu cases and bumpers which can be had for pretty cheap on ebay. I always assume if I buy a case it's going to take some abuse, so I go cheap so I don't spend an arm and a leg to replace it. I went out on a limb with this otterbox case and spent a little more money than I am used to so, we'll see if it pays off. I got the otterbox for work (I work in a dusty environment and I wanted a tight case with some shock protection. I have a TPU bumper for the rest of the time. I've had 4-5 $2 cases in the past two years with my G2 and I don't regret it. You get some duds and you get some that can last 6 months to a year. I order 3 or 4 at a time since they are so cheap.
Thanks. I also just found this, but can't find any reviews on it. Looked really slick with a kickstand too!

There are so many good cases sadly not available in Canada and if they are they are overly priced with shipping. So I have to resort to ebay.
So I'm wondering if anyone has bought the below cases?
Case One - For the price its seems like a good deal, but it has an extra flap that wraps around the back and I think thats going to come in the way when using the tablet.
Case Two - Seems like a copy of the MoKo slim case but it looks good.
The first case looks pretty good and only $1.95 CDN shipped. Might pick one up to try it.

I got the new N7 two weeks ago from EEUU, and now, just few days left to spanish release, where I'm from, there's still no portfolio cases available in my country.
I'd like to buy Poetic Slim because I don't feel comfy with leather frame ones at all, I'm touching it every moment when I slide my fingers on the tablet corners, and the MoKo is too expensive now (about 25$ now, I saw days ago at 0.99$.. lol).
I am looking for a folio case at 20 bucks or less shipped which have wake/sleep, slim finish and no frame... and all ebayers wants to cheat me about 15-20$ for 14-21 days shipping plus 15$ for 10$ amazon case (yeah I know stock problems but what a way to speculate), while DBrand "robots" sent the decal I bought from Canada for 3$ and arrived in ONLY 4 DAYS by ordinary mail :silly:
What do you recommend me? Wait till spanish release or try the second 7$'s one which seems like MoKo?
Thanks.
I got a couple cases from eBay. I've already received the S Line TPU case, which I paid less than $4 shipped for. I also won an auction for a white folio case which was around $1.50 with free shipping from China! Not expecting much, but I'll update when I receive it. Today was day 16, an the seller told me 10-20 days. I'm expecting it Tuesday, since Monday is a holiday.

I got my eBaY TPU s-line case today..Purchased it last Aug.29 for $4.99 shipped. its pretty snug and fit very well with all the ports all cut clean.
I like the matte finish with glossy on the back and the textured side of this case. i choose a solid white color than the transparent one. but i hope that this case stay clean and white.
after installing my extremeguard screen protector here it is.
I will always suggest Poetic Slimline. It has 3 year warranty!
