Fits perfectly.
I bought the same one. Mine hasn't come yet. Yours looks great tho.
Nice case.
You might want to consider buying the proper screen protector for the vibrant.

I was just trying it out. I hate the feel of screen protectors - ended up taking it off after about an hour.
if you change your mind, try the one from realook. i just put mine on and it is amazing. can't even tell it's on there and it feels like the original glass screen.
Mine came in today (really quick might I add, only ordered last wednesday!) Mine looks exactly the same, except it doesn't have the cutout on the corner like yours.
I can't post the link, since I'm a new user, but look up the seller special_element on ebay.
Got mine today as well. Fast shipping! Still using the screen cover that it came with Maybe I should try the one that came with the case or the ClearFeak that just arrived as well.
How's the feel of the rubber? Is it tacky/sticky? Does it cling to your pocket?
I got this same case off of ebay, came in todays mail and looks nice and seems to fit perfectly except for the power and volume buttons which don't quite fit and I have to press quite hard or use my fingernail so I am not 100% thrilled but hey what can I expect for 3.99 with free shipping? It will work until we start seeing more released. Oh yeah, the case is nice and smooth, not sticky at all. Plus I like that it is transparent so I can still see my android sticker through it. It's the small things right?

I've had it for 3 days and have gotten used to the buttons. Not sure if I'm getting in the habit of it or if the case has "adapted" to the phone more some how.
I've had mine for a few days now. Love the feel of it. I don't find it sticky at all, and it didn't really cling to my pockets that much. For the price, I am satisfied until something else comes out. The screen protectors it came with suck.

RIP my beloved rooted G1
It seems like I've always purchased a soft gel skin for all my previous phones for temp. protection until a thin flexible hard case comes along. I was going to buy this gel case until I found the mesh case on ebay, it doesn't completely wrap around all the corners, but it's thin & I love the look and feel of it over the gel case.
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.

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.

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.

So I ended up wanting a MT4G case and came across this site through a friend who bought a similar case from ambitronic.com.
Wondering whether to get the TPU Fusion Case? Look no further!
Shipping:
The product came relatively fast. When I got my final order, all they allowed was first class shipping, but it was only about $3. I ordered my product on Saturday, was notified that it shipped out on Sunday, and it came on Tuesday afternoon.
The website said that it was "delivered" on Monday when I checked, but when I went to check the UPS tracking number it just said sorted. So if you're wondering why the case hasn't come, check the UPS site and be patient, it's worth it!
Pricing/Value:
This is where the product shines. The case was only $3.40, and I bought a $0.95 screen protector with it. I also used a promotional code that docked off 10%. Unfortunately, shipping was $2.95 (still not that bad for first-class), so my total came out to be $6.87.
The Product(s):
I bought two things:
The Black TPU Fusion Case, and
a MT4G Screen Protector
The case itself is pretty good. All the holes are in the right places, and it fits really well. It does not add any noticeable bulk, and although it was somewhat difficult to get it on my MT4G in the beginning, it gets easier as time goes. The side grips are really nice (they're textured for easier grip), and I have 99% confidence that I won't break my phone as long as I have this case (the other 1% is if I keep it in the washing machine ). I had an issue with the power button being too hard to press at the outset, but as time went by, the issue got better and it's much easier to hit the power button.
Note: The TPU Fusion cases for this product only come in Black (+$0.45), Clear (+$0.45), and Red. I got the black one, and it looks really sleek on my black MT4G.
Now, the screen protector on the other hand was not useful at all. The product said that it would come with a soft card, but it did not. The thing also did not come with any instructions, so I ended up having to check how to install it on XDA. After cleaning the glass screen with the microfiber cloth and applying the screen protector, there were too many air bubbles, and I realized that the screen protector collected dust quite easily. I ended up having to trash it.
Overall:
4.75/5
Great product, great company.
-0.15 for the worthless screen protector
-0.10 for only 1 shipping option (shipping ended up being about 45% of the cost, but it was relatively cheap, so I can't complain too much).
Get it here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I shot them an email, and here's what I got:
Hi, thank you for your honest opinion on our product and service. Your support is really important to us. We have just issued you $0.8 credit (Rounded it up) via paypal.
Regarding the screen protector issue, it used to include a soft card inside the package but it seems our supplier did not include it in this shipment. We have removed the word "soft card" from our description to avoid being misleading.
If you did not get another screen protector for the Mytouch 4g yet, we would like to re-send you the screen protector for free. Hopefully, this time it can do its job. Please let us know and have a good night!
Sincerely,
Dale

Exactly. I may just cut the TPU case to fit the battery.
I did not like this case. I found it to added far too bulk to the phone.
However....I cut the top off of it and hot glued the case to the armrest in my car. (It looks clean I swear!) So now I have a great holder that my phone slides in and out of easily that keeps it nice and secure where I can see the screen to know who's calling before answering on the bluetooth.
It's a GREAT phoen case for this purpose. And I'm thrilled with my purchase.

Thank you for your support. It is good to see people like this TPU Fusion design.

I guess the garbage can was closer than a knife.
I have read the reviews on this case for other phones but I was wondering if anyone has one on their SII. I'm mostly worried about how it works with an Invisible Shield screen protector. Many cases bubble it up.

Would you say it provides a good amount of protection, especially around the edges?
Yes a fair amount...it covers up the edges nicely... will your phone survive a 15ft fall? Probably not..but a normal out of pocket or off lap it will do just fine.
My only complaint so far is it is a lint magnet... haha
But looks stellar with my theme too
I'm happy with it overall.

*gasp* That is so cool! Thanks for posting the link, I just ordered a purple one
Ive had my white one for about 3 weeks now and have dropped mine a couple of times from about bathroom sink high i dont have nary a scratch on it! Only thing i would say is get a much better Screen protector for it other than the one that comes with the case. Now All it needs now is replacement shells without having to purchase a hole new case so you can change colors!
To the owners of this case:
What is the quality of the rubber? Is it a cheap flimsy feeling or a harder solid rubber?
Does anyone notice their phone getting unusually warm with this case on when in use?
I got a blue one , i personally love this case i mean for 9 bucks i dont think you can go wrong, the rubber isnt the best grade but thats why i got rid of my D30 case because it was to hard and pushing the buttons was a pain in the ass. I think for price you cant go wrong here....and i havent noticed my phone getting warm with normal use
I have this case and what I have noticed is that it causes your phone to echo. When my friends call me, they always complain that they can hear themselves talking. The echo disappears when I take off the case.

Odd, never had this issue myself - I have 3 of these cases. 1 for me, 2 for the G-friend, they work great - the inner rubber is flimsy but the plastic part firms it up enough. Its a daily driver, just dont expect otter box or trident grade here.
I retired my Fishbone for the Seidio I got for Christmas
I have one and love it. Fits great, really seems to protect it well. WELL worth the money.

Got mine today & while I like it, it seems to suffer from the same flimsy sides-syndrome as the Incipio case. Also, I ordered the purple one but apparently their interpretation of purple is hot pink. I HATE pink. This happens way too often, I'm just gonna start ordering blue from now on >:[
If you actually got the wrong color, contact them. I ordered white and got black, and they refunded like half of money.

These cases look pretty sweet, i may take a shot at one
I love the way it looks, Only thing that concerns me is the Lint Magnet...I work in a dusty factory.. -_-
I've got this one. I like it. The rubber is really "squishy" which makes buttons easy to push (unlike previous cases I've gotten), while the fishbone keeps the shock absorbing rubber in place and then provides good physical protection. Then there is the aspect of how cool it looks.

or don't get something as useless as a screen protector. send me the money you waste on it please. Many thanks. Screen protectors.........sigh.....please.
I got mine two days ago and the next day I ordered a Trident Aegis case. The Fishbone looks cool, no doubt about it. It's also hard to go wrong with a case that you can buy for $3.90 on Amazon. However, the silicone is loose on the sides and I'm disappointed that because the plastic shell doesn't wrap around the sides except for the corners, the middle of the plastic is not securely attached. When I talk on the phone it pulls very easily. I'll keep it as a backup, but I don't want to use it as a daily.
I had a Fishbone Case for my Epic 4g and my Evo 4g. Loved them both. I was always sad there wasn't one for the NS but now I have one for my SGS2 and just as great. I love them because they are freaking cheap (paid $5 shipped from amazon) and they look fantastic. I've never had a problem with protection either since they are soft gel it basically absorbs drops (not huge ones, obviously) very well. Also, given that I have full ghost armor on the phone it still fits perfectly where as my d30 didn't.
So I took Telekinetic's advice & contacted the seller, and they're replacing the pink fishbone with this case. It's not a fishbone, but it looks awesome & the design promises to solve the floppy sides problem.

This seller is really awesome BTW, very nice, very accomodating, and they're not even making me send the original case back
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.

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!
