Will Body Glove make a case like the captivate mirage tpu flexible for the S2?
Just buy a trident
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
No, the tirdent isnt low profile and is not thin like the bodyglove is there or will there be a case similar to it?
I would recommend the TPU rubber skins. Since I can't post links yet here is the exact name for Amazon:
TPU Rubber skin Case for T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989, Black
I have it myself and it's all you need. Very low profile and helps you get a good grip on the phone. It's also plastic, not just rubber, so it adds some more protection. 10/10

If you wan't something thin just stick to no case, it will offer virtually the same protection from drops
I've had bad luck with Body Gloves cases. I had one on my HD2 and it really hurt the thing more than it helped. It ended up scratching the back REALLY bad and then the kickstand broke as well.
thanks for the help i will just buy the TPU case!

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.

Hey guys,
I have the rubber case that tmobile sold originally and I have the case from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772826
besides the above 2, that I already have, case mate, and otterbox what are some other options?
A friend of mine has a Fascinate and he has a case that is pretty good looking. It feels a little harder, but does not offer as much protection as it does not cover the top or bottem edges. Do we have something similiar?
or what other cases do you guys have or reccommend besides what I listed above?
Try looking at the TPU cases
isn't the one in my link, that i already have, TPU?
that one is different...its harder than a TPU case, almost like bendable plastic
try this one

Try a Cyclops case great protection but its extremely thicker.

You try to find it on ebay, I think you 'll find a variety of rubber case for your device and the price is quite affordable

I bought a $4 silicone case from amazon that seems to be working quite well. It doesnt quite fit as snug as I'd like though, but it keeps the profile small and its easy to get out of my pocket.
Case
Yeah..i think silicon case is better..
I am now using a soft pouch, I think it's better than a silicone case because it protects also the screen and it's not "sticky" like silicone cases are (I always found difficult to put the phone into the jeans' pocket when I am sitting if I use a TPU case)... You could try a pouch and see if you like it
Thanks for the ideas on cases. I have thought about getting one but never sure which are cheap and rip easy or whatnot.

How fat is it? I have a rubber case also but I don't consider it fat. I have not seen any case for this phone also.

I bought a $7 silicone case from my local ATT store and this thing is the best. It fits nice and snug, and is easy to remove if need be. Of course, I wear carpenter jeans so the slight stickiness doesn't bother me. AFAIK tho, I believe they stopped selling it in my area so that may be the case everywhere.
These three cases look nice! Does anyone have them? Which is best?

im not trying to insult because you might have got a better product then me but i cannot recommend the body glove TPU. Ive had it since ive got the phone in december and it my opinion its not very good. its a pain in the ass to clip together (on the top) and the clips that hold it together have broken pretty easy. I still use it because im careful with my phone and i dont really wanna waste money on another case but when i do drop my phone the stupid case splits apart and flys in different directions leaving my phone completely unprotected. Also the covering on the hard plastic doesnt stay on for long and ive never gotten it wet. This is just my opinion no need for hate.

The body glove tpu case is one piece of thermoplastic. There are no clips. You pull the whole case over the phone. You are describing another bodyglove case I guess.
:edit: The proper name of the body glove tpu case is "Body Glove Mirage" if there is any doubt which case we are discussing

well i googled body glove tpu and the case that comes in two peices showed up first so i thought that was what u were talking about
Do you even know what TPU thermoplastic is? Hint: its not hard plastic
No tpu case would ever have tabs
Checkout the Trident Cyclops. They even have color variations. Had an otterbox and got rid of it for that

+1 Body glove Body Glove Black TPU.
It is more resilent to stretching than silicon and is easy to take from your pocket.
Does any other case have as low a profile as the Body Glove? Does anyone other than them make a TPU case? I've seen some no-name brand TPU cases on ebay but they're a little gaudy for my tastes.
I currently have the ballistic SG case and was wondering if you guys would recommend any other cases out there?

I'm currently switching between the white body glove case from T-Mobile and the PDair leather case. I really like the leather case cause it protects my screen.

D3o cases are junk. Especially the ones with the softish plastic backing. The all black one piece is alright,but still junk.
The ones with the colored plastic backing are prone to cracking just be taking off the case. Big no-no since I wash my case periodically.
On top of that, the 3.5mm slot is too small. Only slim jacks fit while the d3o case is on. I'm not willing to change my Sennheisers just because design flaws of the case.
Don't forget how much force it takes to push the power button. Over time,this can damage the power button by recessing it in. I switched to the white body glove. Its properly designed and does what I need it do.

i have a case similar to this, one of the amazon variants.
any who i really like the design, especially the thick corners which is what many times takes the impact of the drop. i have not had problems with screen bubbling up either
I purchased the white body glove case from tmobile store and its doing the job. I've dropped the phones a couple of times already, and its still doesnt show any scratches unless your eyeball is touching the case.
I got one from moster accessory website called the black transfusion hard cover case an I really like it as my second case. My first case was the D30, but the transfusion case was more cheaper than the d30.

I came upon an older Targus holster for Palm PDAs back from 2000. Its got that old brown leather look with a velcro snap and velour interior padding. Enough room for my Herc wrapped in its TPU.
