ewwww. all 3 of them. tpu or ringke rearth case ftw.

Why do you say that? Do you have the Rearth? How is it? I liked these cases because they look like a colorful otterbox.

thinking about getting a ringke rearth. they look nice. i just think they're ugly because they're so fat and bulky. but you may need the protection so function over form in that case. i don't need that much protection so function and form are equal for me. i had an otterbox once for a nokia e71 and i needed it then, but it was awful big and a pain in the ass sometimes. such a pain that i started carrying in my pocket instead of holster and i lost it somehow. yes, from my pocket. i was pissed.

The 2nd and 3rd resemble the ballistic shell gel cases, but uglier. I have a rearth ringke slim and i like it. I also have a couple diztronic tpu cases and like them as well.

I ended up ordering a Seidio active case for mine $29 after taxes, I looked at other cases that would fit with the extended back but I've always gone with Seidio on my other devices and just couldn't stray away.

I have the first link case identical. I got it yesterday. The black is a rubber piece that goes around the red plastic does a very poor job. It would not survive a fall high than 3 feet. I will be returning mine. I am now looking for a white case and a good holster. Any suggestions are great.

Hmmm, i don't know which to pick. The reason I wanted to buy one off of ebay is because I have $25 ebay bucks. I originally liked the metallic but I heard it was slippery so I'm starting to think I should go with the matte black. Can anyone find one on ebay?

That first one looks sketchy, idk looks cheap. id kinda not get any of those. Just get an Otterbox, thats basically what these are posing. I realize these are cheaper but also these look it. If not then maybe their are other brands that could get you some reliability. I personally dont know because i rocked my D1 naked for two years and im rocking a cruzer on my Nexus. I also have an otterbox as a backup (thats the tough case).

I currently have the otter box but I would like to add some color which is why I am looking at these cases.

If you go with Otterbox, stay away from the Defender. It is nowhere near the quality you would expect for that price, and doesn't come close to the quality of the Defender for iPhone. Lots of people have had bad experiences with Seidio as well, their cases tend to fall apart after only a short while and their warranty process is ridiculous. The TPU cases are cheap pieces of junk too. Trust me, they don't look nearly as nice in person as they do in pictures. If you want something rugged I would recommend the Trident Cyclops or the Ballistic HC. For something middle of the road go with the Otterbox Commuter, and for the thinest case possible go with the Casemate Barely There.
Thanks for the info

Or you can get a TPU case off of ebay. Its less than 5 bucks and I like it alot. Its nothing fancy at all, but its a hybrid of the hard plastic snap cases and the silicone cases. It provides some front screen and rear camera protection too. sot he rear camera doesnt hit the table etc when set down. It also wraps around the corners nicely and "Snaps" if you will, around the edges.
I picked up one of these for under $5 and it fits like a glove! It's a thin silicone case and then a hard outer shell, but doesn't add much bulk to my evo. They have other colors as well and it's a US seller to boot so no waiting for a month for your new case to arrive from HK. Remove the @ and replace with a .

I just got the seidio innocase active on ebay for like 25 bucks. I've never like how bulky the otterbox cases are and this case has a really nice feel to it almost like its part of the phone.
TPU for the win. I got a smoked clear one like a month ago and love it. My 2 yr old nephew threw my phone against the wall on NYE. I was kinda freaked for a second and I picked it up and everything was ship shape. Also dropped it once on the carpet in my office and zero problems whatsoever. Totally happy and impressed for $5 dollars.
Tpu!!! Thin and fashionable with a great hint of protection. Luxmo makes great ones with screen protectors! Trust me, I own 8 different cases.

I'm a big fan of the Ballistic case.Outstanding protection. I like the bulky feel of it.
This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.
I'd recommend do some research find which case you like best then Craigslist Brotha. I agree I wouldn't pay 50 bucks for my otterbox deffender series. But I got it for 25 bucks new in box off some guy on Craigslist ill take that deal all day so give it a try is all I'm saying.

Best buy has these Platinum cases which fit nicely over the evo and even on top of a screen protector. Dust accumulates but it's not too bad. Just clean it once a week.
If you end up using a Seido Innocase (not the rugged or active) like I do then you'll have to shop well for an enclosed holster if you need one of those too because the fit becomes different. Amazon is full of reviews of all the Otterboxes, Seido, etc-good and bad. They often come with a belt clip holster that doesn't enclose the phone entirely (for me, the camera lens is exposed)...I like them and use them, but I also require an enclosed holster for added protection in some environments. The Innocase is a two piece case which I like...but it doesn't get torqued around in my pocket like it does for some folks (some folks claim the case becomes loose and starts to squeak--and also claim debris gets in and rubs the finish of the edges of their Evo). Mine has held up well, but I treat it with kid gloves and the phone never goes in my pocket.
i just got the Rearth Ringke case and i like it. granted, i haven't tried any other case, but it's much nicer than the crappy case my wife has on her evo from best buy. it's a nice tight fit and the buttons are very easy to push. it's thin and light and adds little to no extra bulk. my wife was jealous and wants one now too!

Good Mytouch 4G case

So currently I have a cheap case I bought on ebay and it's messing up my invisibleshield on the sides. Whenever I grip the sides it pushes up against the shield and dust gets in there.
I'm considering buying a new case but I'm not sure what one to get so it won't mess up the shield. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking the tpu case but I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

Hands down the best cases you can get for your phone at the TPU fusion cases. All TPU cases are great, but the TPU fusion just has a slightly higher level of detail.
There is a thread in this section about the TPU fusion cases that also has an online coupon code for like 10% off their already really cheap price.
I would link but I'm feeling lazy today. Happy hunting

Used to have more colors but now only have black, clear and red.
Act quick!
I originally bought the black gel skin from T-Mobile when I bought my phone. It was a lint magnet, though, and it added a significant amount of bulk to the phone. So I ended up buying a translucent smoke colored TPU case, OEM HTC variety, from Amazon. It's nice, feels good, looks good, has cutouts for all the buttons (so they aren't hard to press like some TPU cases) and doesn't add a huge amount of bulk to the phone, while also making it easier to hold onto.
I have used the Otterbox Commuter and the TPU Fusion case. I switch between the two. Plus they both protect the phone well and fit inside of my Seidio holster.

Is the Seidio holster you're using the standard one for the MT4G? Or did you have to use a larger size? I'm looking for a good case to replace the Seidio one I'm currently using, but I like the design of the Seidio holster...

As previously stated, the trident case is very good, but if your not willing to spend the money you can go for the TPU fusion. Its cheaper, and still has a modern look to it.

lol this seems like itll feel weird, especially in the pocket
the TPU Fusion case is the best ive seen..
the regular silicone cases are nice too but the rubber is so grip-y that its hard to pull the phone out of the pocket lol
The trident case looks great I'm going to order it.
my sister has the TPU case and i think im going to pick one up they look great and feel good in the hands.

It's not so much a case IMO but more of a glove. The phone remains extremely slim still and its pretty stiff.

Try the Otterbox Commuter case. It's fairly cheap for a otterbox, and it looks like it'd be a good case that would work well with invisishield,

Case-Mate Tough vs. Trident Aegis

Can anyone give a pretty good comparison of the two cases? I'm looking to get a nice solid case for my new E4T beyond the TPU case I have for it now.
I have this case for my iPhone 4 (work phone) and LOVE the case (I could leave the phone). http://www.amazon.com/Acase-iPhone-..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1324128984&sr=1-1
What are the pros and cons of each case? Right now they seem to be similar size, protection and price so I would be down to picking on appearance right now but function > form in this case.

I can only vouch for Otterbox at the moment but they don't make a case for the Sprint GS2, which is a bummer.

I have the case mate tough case. I also have a ballsitic case . I use the case mate more because it is smaller . The ballistic case protects more but is a little bulky. best prices are on daydeal.com. They dont have the case mate tough case
I just got the tough case today.. And have been using it all day.
Seems like a sturdy enough case, feels good in the hand and doesn't have too much bulk. The rubber inner liner near the screen tends to attract dirt and stuff, but not more than any other case would do.
Has a nice textured feel all the way around. Nice and grippy, but not so much that it is impossible to take out of your pocket.
All in all, I paid 22 for out and consider it money well spent
Trying out this E4GT...
Ive got the trident aegis case in the mail so ill chime back in when I receive it.
Sent from my E4GT using XDA App
So I've got the trident case installed.
This case is very solid. The internal silicone layer is much thicker than an otterbox's silicone. The outside plastic is also a different material than an otterbox. There is no doubt that this phone will survive a fall.
Do you want to know anything specific about this case? I can take pictures if you're interested.

I was wondering if anyone had both and thought one was better I have an Aegis case in the mail
i have both cases . while Casemate tough is nice the trident aegis for SG2 is is the better case . Otterbox makes a slod case but prices are more expensive with less quality than Trident
I picked OTHER case. with just a few mods its an amazing case!!

AMAZING case if you like "large" protective cases like I do. Especially on such a slim phone it ends up not being overly large at least if you have large hands like I do.
I ordered 2 so I could get blue on blue. they are $10 a pop on ebay or amazon.
white red pink blue green yellow and pink are available.
it has a few very minor annoyances I was able to fix all of them. check out the pictures and the videos. Absofreakinglutely love this case.
I just ordered 2 more. one that might have an orange skin (probably red but worth $8 for the chance of orange) and another black one with a clearly ORANGE hard shell (so I can do blue on orange)
Very very nice case. I love it so far over a week of usage NO downsides found yet once the minor annoyances are fixed. a pleasure to use.
the built in kickstand also "works" as a flygrip style gadget to make one handed use much easier.
really love this case. just ordered one for my evo and one for my prevail as well.

Alternative Otterbox Suggestions

I have had the Otterbox defender on since day one. And it protects great. Today i took it off to swap my battery and remembered how great this phone looks without it. But I'm not one to go unprotected.
I'm looking for suggestions on other cases. Something that protects but necessarily the bulk of the Otterbox. I work a office job so rugged case isn't too necessary.
Must be compatible with the extended battery.
I was looking at the SGP Neo hybrid cases but they say coming soon on the website.
Please share your suggestions. Thanks guys.

Hey, i have the commuter case on for a few days now and i love it. It adds just enough bulk and size to the phone to make is sit and feel perfect in my hand. But everyones hands are different so not all will think its great. I did however order the Neo Hybrid case in Reventon yellow and should have it tomorrow or saturday and ill let you know how it is and feels along with some pics, and possibly a small review.
But so far i LOVE the commuter case. should take a look at it. i wrote up a review but i have to do a few more posts before xda lets me post it lol
I have the Otterbox Defender as well and am surprised at how much I like it... Typically like nothing on my phones but gotta have protection on this beauty...
Just got an Incipio Silicrylic in the mail to try... Definitely less bulk than the Otterbox... You can actually see some of the sexy lines of the Nexus with this case.... The Incipio provides some protection, as it does have at least some hard plastic to it, but not anything close to the Otterbox.. Not sure that my GNex would survive a fall on a hard surface in the Incipio....
Problem with the Incipio is that it will not fit in the Otterbox holster or the Verizon holster that I already have, so probably will go back to the OB Defender...
Anybody interested in making me an offer on a brand new Incipio or Verizon Case & Holder I will listen....
One reason for my Otterbox purchase was the holster. But i have never used it. It's too big to have clipped on my side.
I know no case will protect like the defender but im good with my phones to get a scaled down case. I thought about the commuter but not sure how much size difference there is.
What price you looking at for your incipio?

I watched a review and it said with the extended battery the plastic outer shell just fit tightly against the silicone as it does at the top. Did you notice this?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Fit tight w/extended battery in, but not a problem in my opinion... I would bet it might even loosen up a bit over time...
I like the Incipio's look and feel... Much smaller size than OB, but have to have a holster to carry my GNex..
It doesn't have quite the amount of protection (ie not waterproof) like the defender but soon Ballistic will release their case for the Galaxy Nexus. I have a Galaxy Nexus on the way and will be giving my Nexus S to my wife. My wife is like a phone's worst nightmare. She seems to always be dropping them and my two kids are both under 3 and the oldest loves to snatch our phones. I got the Ballistic case for the Nexus S for her and after putting it on yesterday I'm a believer. I already have it covered completely by Ghost Armor skin, and with the Ballistic case it's just very well protected. The bumpers on the corners are amazing and so is the fit and finish. Makes the phone pretty bulky (not as much as the defender) but it makes the phone much nicer to hold and type on. I would recommend it for the Galaxy Nexus. I have a TPU case on order but will pick up the Galaxy Nexus version Ballistic case too once it is released.

Do you have any quick impressions/pics of the Neo Hybrid? It'll be interesting to see how well it fits the LTE GNex since it was designed for the GSM non-extended battery GNex.
I have the Incipio Silicrylic (aka Double Cover, VZW repackaged). It's a nice case and it fits well on the phone. It doesn't add too much bulk. I like that the hard cover goes around the corners, unlike the Otterbox Commuter. Cutouts for the phone are nice. No need to mess around with clumsy flaps. And the buttons work well under the silicone cover. Great case for less. I got mine at the Verizon store for $20 +tax after a discount. I don't use a holster, but I am looking into getting an XO Skin.
Another alternative that I was initially looking at was the Seidio Surface Combo. It's a hard soft-touch case with a holster, if you need the holster. They also sell it without.

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.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
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:
http://www.ebay.es/itm/260972749866
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
