S-Line case from eBay is awesome

I just got my S-line case (black) from eBay and I love it. It adds very little bulk, seems like it will do a good job protecting my phone, and looks very nice.
Definitely worth the $5!

I have one as well. Love it. Too bad the car dock doesn't work with the case on. I hate having to take it off, but at least it's pretty easy.

Agree with you on all fronts, including car dock and easiness of taking the case off.

S-Line Ebay Case

For what it's worth, I got the black one, but I've heard better comments on the smoke one when I was doing my research.

There seems to be 2 types of materials, 3 finishes.
On mine, the clearish part is a slightly-bendable hard plastic with the texture of what all of my matte hard plastic. Think the type of plastic that is one most power adapters (that aren't shiny) but add a slightly bendable aspect to it.
The black part on the back is shiny, slick, smooth, and more flexible. It's similar to silicon cases (what I can assume you mean by soft gel/rubber) but I think it's still different. It seems to be less "floppy" even though it is very bendable. The shiny black part seems to "stick" to certain surfaces (such as my desk and other hard/flat surfaces) but not to some that you would expect (it doesn't stick to my pockets at all and glides just fine across my clothing, car seat, and non-leather furniture - it might stick to leather, I don't know). The black part on the front appears to be the same material as the black part on the back, but with a matte finish. The result of the different finish is that it doesn't have the "stickiness" on much of any surface, yet still gives your hand a slight bit of grip beyond what the stock TBolt gives you.
Overall, the "feel in hand" is comfortable and it gives you extra grip but doesn't feel sticky or anything like that. Imagine going from a slick, hard-plastic phone to a phone with a rubberized body (like our TBolt has). Going from a naked TBolt to this case is kinda like taking that one step further. But in no way could I ever describe it as "feeling sticky" in my hand or pocket.

So it looks like/feels like it's not going to just fall apart or anything like that, if that's what you mean. I can't envision drops/dings or other daily use wearing it down.
The ONE concern that I have about it holding up is because it is made with two types of "plastic" (I don't know if it's plastic, silicon, rubber, or whatever, hence my quotes). I fear that if I take the case off and on a lot (for my car dock), that the joints of the two plastics might start to come apart. This is NOT based on any quality issues that I have seen so far, just a concern based on the fact that this wasn't produced in a single mold when it was melted down (this is coming from somebody with an engineering background).
I will be shocked, though, if I have a problem with this case in the next 6 months, and for $5, well, I'd say that's pretty damned good!

Read my post a couple posts up about the 2 different types of materials with 3 finishes. As best as I can tell, the inside is the same material as the outside. What this means is that 60% of it is the very flexible plastic while the clear part does cover ~40% of the back. I would expect the black part to offer more protection to a fall/bump than the clear part, and fortunately the black part covers most of the corners and edges. Still, I expect the clear part to offer more protection than a hard plastic case would.

Updated the OP with some photos. Perhaps they will help.

thanks for the detailed feedback!

This case will also fit into the Verizon holster/shell combo holster. You just can't use the VZW shell, but it'll slide into the holster. The fit is a little snug, but it works. I like to swap out this case with the VZW shell. This one provies more protection, but the VZW one is pretty cool too.
In case anybody was wondering, I got mine from this seller from China: http://goo.gl/62Fhx
It took something like 10 days to get to me, but I didn't mind since it cost less than a good burger.

Fishbone Case Question

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.

I got one in my stocking for Christmas.
I really like it. Buttons are very easy to push..feels great in my hands and the case itself is an excellent fit.
Doesn't make my screen protector bubble up or anything.

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.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

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.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/T-Mobile-Sa...675410?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item45ffe0f192
This seller is really awesome BTW, very nice, very accomodating, and they're not even making me send the original case back

Stupid sprint carbon fiber case

I bought this case with my phone the day it came out because I wanted protection immediately. It was the only case available so I got it. I've taken care of my phone diligently and the only scratches it has are from the stupid sprint carbon fiber case. Is there any way to get any compensation from sprint for buying this stupid case or am I just stupid or both?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

which carbon case do you have? I have the black carbon one with the kickstand and no scratches. Also there is no way that sprint will compensate you.

I have the one that schnergun has as well and I got it the day my phone came as well. So far the only scratch I have on the phone is from a drop (before I put the case on it) other then that it's been very nice.
And as above I really doubt Sprint is going to do anything about it. It's wear and tear as they will see it.

Yup... and I'm not one of those people. I have no issues with this case. Is OP taking it on and off too much? How would one see the scratches without doing so? Sounds like it IS wear and tear...

TPU Scratches
I just got the carbon fiber/kickstand case yesterday. But my TPU case I've used for the last two months has scratched the crap out of my GS2 edges. I miss the chrome edge and rubbery back of my OG Epic. Wish they would've used that on this phone.

Of course I'm taking it off from time to time. I do it to clean the damn phone. I know the scratches are from the case because there are 5 perfectly straight lines across the side of the phone. I'm pretty sure it happens when removing the case. I am now using the phone with no case because at least if I take care of the phone it won't get scratches. Maybe the cases aren't all built the same and i got a badly made one.
I also don't think my phone should get scratches for taking a case off too much. It's a damn case. It's supposed to protect the phone not scratch it if I decide to remove it as many times as I want.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I've had this case since I bought my phone, and I remove it multiple times a day (I have the desktop charger at work), there isn't a single scratch anywhere on my phone and the case is a nice, snug fit. Maybe you just got a bad case.

That's what I'm thinking.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

At best, the store will exchange it for another of the same case, maybe they'll look at letting you switch it for a different case of equal value or have you pay the difference for a higher value case. You can always just ask the store.
As far as compensation, you probably won't find anyone that can see the scratches as anything to compensate for. (What compensation do you expect? Are you looking for a bill credit or a new phone?) It's wear and tear, and unless it affects the functionality of the phone, they're not going to do anything about it.
I just use a skin on mine, since I use the car and desk docks, but I also don't drop my phone. Ever. So I don't worry about needing some kind of case for it.

Have you tried this one? http://www.tridenteer.com/products/Aegis-Case-for-Samsung-Epic-Touch-4G-(Black).html
I'm still on my TPU, and the comment about the TPU scratching the phone is kinda scary. None on mine yet, but I'll keep an eye out. The TPU is a great case, I'd just like I need a little more protection. I drop phones a little more often than some of you guys do. Put an Aegis on the Evo 3D, and was very impressed. Not missing Otter at all,... Otter who? Still, I'd like to hear what other GS2 users of the Aegis are feeling about the case. Just can't seem to find any GS2/Aegis users right now.

Hey guys
Switched from an Evo 3D and an Evo 4g to Epic Touch and I have been using cheap hard cases on all my phones including my new Epic Touch baby and never have any problems with them. My phones always look band new and no scratches. I only pay $6 at my local swap meet

I have had the case and phone since new with wrist strap. I also have a really annoying nic on the upper left where the case grabs onto the phone....sucks as it stands out cause it makes the phone have chrome nic....it would be nice if sprint would cover/credit the case cost back as it damaged the phone. Instead of doing this, I went got invisible shield and ballistic case. I couldn't be happy.
I'm just taking it as a loss....
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

I initially got the case cause I really needed protection asap, (somewhat of an idiot occasionally). BAD IDEA.
The Pro(s): light weight, thin, kickstand
The Con(s): lightweight, flimsy, cheaply made, really expensive, minimal protection.
I have sense upgraded to the trident aegis and couldn't be more happy with it. I feel like it really almost wouldn't matter what I do to it, my phone will still be okay. Build quality and materials used on it are VERY pleasing. Significantly more protective, not just for drops, but dust and dirt as well. It has mesh over the microphone and speakerphone holes so dust doesn't get in and has silicon flaps to protect the audio out and micro usb port. Buttons are very easy to use as well (no fumbling with the slick samsung volume and power buttons).
Hope that helps. Link to aegis case is in a comment above mine.

If it makes anyone feel better, I smash my Epic Touch hard against a table repeatedly as a sales tactic, after asking if the customer would dare do that to their iPhone.
I do not have a case on my ET (just a screen protector). No problems or dings on the corners yet from doing so, so hopefully that gives everyone some cause to worry less. This said, I do this because if I really messed up my phone, I could just get a replacement, so I really wouldn't advise phone smashing on a regular basis...
And with some/all due respect to the OP and some others, I would take delight in laughing at you, along with every other employee. Would you demand a new laptop from Dell because it got a scratch on it from the Dell case you purchased with your computer? If you did, do you think they would ship one right out to you?
Honestly, I could see your complaint if the case somehow scratched the screen of the device, but the sides or back? How does this affect the functionality of your device? Do you not pull as many chicks by showing them your shiny, pretty phone?

[Review][Official]Cruzerlite Androidified TPU Case

This is a review of www.cruzerlite.com and the Cruzerlite Gnex-A2-Blue case. It is a Androidified TPU case for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The cost of this case is a measly 9.90 plus shipping/handling.
I ordered the case on Sunday September 30th from their website www.cruzerelite.com and received it through the USPS on Thursday October 4th. They had very fast shipping for a weekend order which we all know is often not the situation with many on-line vendors.
I found this case at www.cruzerlite.com/cases/samsung/ga...androidified-a2-tpu-case-for-galaxy-nexus-600
They have 11 total colors available for this case including the blue model in this review.
The material used for this cases construction is 100% TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) plastic.
There are 10 well placed cutouts for the various buttons, usb port, headphone jack, speaker/mic and a spot to hook a lanyard. I do not use a lanyard personally but like the added feature for a phone built without.
The case fits nice and snug to the phone with a regular battery and door. The extended battery and door fits as well but requires a little working of the case to fit the side right but it DOES work well with it. I personally with any case use my extended battery without the door and it fits great that way. The case makes a very nice small ridge/buffer zone which protects the screen from all those small grains of dust that will spider the screen when it lands face down.
The functionality of the case is nice as well. Some people like raised buttons such as on silicon cases. I do not. I find they cause my pocket to wake the phone. The cutouts keep that from happening by keeping the buttons recessed a little bit. The case slides easily in and out of my front jeans pocket and never hangs up on entry or removal. Something I could never say about any previous silicon cases. The case is very easy to put on and remove.
It has a very nice and clean design to it. The little android logo on the back of the case is a nice touch to break up what would be a very boring look. I find no flaws with the case in design and manufacturing of it.
Designing in a lanyard spot in for a phone without is a very nice thing to see. Even if I personally do not use it I know they are thinking how can we make a case even better. Going the extra mile with a feature like that is not seen often anymore. Most case manufacturers I have seen have simply said “Oh this phone doesn't take a lanyard....moving on” Cruzerlite said “That's a bad design lets give it one” Well done.
Final thoughts...Cruzerlite has gone the extra mile in making and offering a economy price for a solid design with added features not found elsewhere. 9.90 plus shipping. Can you go wrong for a case that is made well, fits right, will protect from all sorts of incidents and looks this good. You can't go wrong picking up Cruzerlite Androidified TPU Case for your Galaxy Nexus.

Is any dangers of using the phone without a backdoor?

I have the black one. I wasn't sure if I'd like the android on the back but it is well done. Case cutouts and overall feel is great.

Also bought a cheap 3£ TPU wave case for comparison... I'll let you know when they arrive...

I bought one a few months ago when they first came out but I'm not so impressed.
It does look great, I love the design, and I have no complaints about the fit. But there are a number of rough edges that spoil it.
The cut-out for the charger is fine because it has a gentle angle but the hole for the headset is at 90 degrees and feels very uncomfortable when holding the phone in portrait with your little finger right where the hole is.
When holding the phone in landscape for gaming there is another rough edge from bad moulding right where that textured side grip is. Again, it is very uncomfortable when rubbing on our finger. Strangely enough the grip on the opposite side feels perfect.
There is also another join line that runs around the phone which sticks out on the bottom corners but feels fine on the top.
I e-mailed the company with these complaints but never got a reply.
I won't be buying any more cases from them.

I think it's part bad design and part bad luck that I got a bit of a dud.
I have another, cheaper plain case on my Lynx 3D but the quality is far higher than the Cruzerlite. It's as smooth as butter all around and feels really nice to hold. I wish the Cruzerlite was the same because I like the detailing and colour.
But it's the lack of any response to my mail which has put me off buying another case from them.

I had the clear cruzerlite androidfied case and really liked the look. But since the case covers the side and onto the tip of the screen, it was pushing up against my screen protector that I had on. So I returned it and got a verizon kickstand case that doesn't do that.

Ballistic Every1 Case Pics

First off let me say this, i suck at taking pics and reviewing an item. Had to get that out there lol. Also Sorry only have the gs3 camera at the moment. Will take pics with phone inside when I get a chance. First thing I did was remove the built in screen protector, Looked like the otterbox as far as clarity. Did not like it at all. But that was not an issue, just yanked it out, no biggie. Here are some shots of the every1 case from ballistic. Pretty good case, definitely different. I like it. Let me know what you think.

To be honest, it looks solid but feels kinda loose as far as the front face plate goes. Since the phone is held with the "springs" as they call it, the case does NOT touch the phone neither front or back, so has gap for better understanding. But dont get me wrong, its still well built and has a nice concept. Btw its slimmer than the otterbox and ballistic sg maxx just as a bulkiness guideline.
About the pics, ill take some on the weekend when I get back home from work. Looks great on my white gs3. So for now mental images for you all lol.

I just got mine in. I have been waiting for it since I first saw pics of it. I have the outer box defender and hated the bulkiness of the outer. My main problem was the raised edges from the glass. I get its to protect the screen from a face down drop but if you can't touch the edge of the screen easily what's the point. This case has a thinner edge and its slanted to be able to reach all the edges of the screen including the menu and back button.

For me its mostly about drop protection. And this is really not as bulky as otterbox or the toughsuit.

I like it. Only 2 things i dislike is what i mentioned on my prevoius post, the front plate feels "loose" when holding the phone from the edges, but it wont fall apart. Its just the design of the case. Second is the back white glossy part scratches real easily. Im going to send it with a buddy of mine to get a white carbon fiber design and clear coat it, just on the back white section where the kick stand is. Not sure when ill have time to take it tho :-\

Same reason the company I work for uses tough books for laptops...
I have the Griffin survivor which is one of the biggest cases for this phone... the reason - I'm crawling in basements,damp crawspaces,attics, out in any and all weather, up on roofs and ladders. I prefer to protect my expensive phone from being dropped or scratched or get dirty in my line of work.
My phone has taken falls up to 15 feet so far, sat in a shallow puddle of water, gotten muddy, dusty, been in 130 degree Fahrenheit attics and 25 degree Fahrenheit weather.
If I take take to case off still looks brand new. Try that with a slim case or naked phone
Oh and I have a 20 month old little girl .... enough said.
Point of my rambling- every one has a different lifestyle.

Just got mine and am loving it, last case I will ever buy, it adds very little in the bulk department for the protection it offers.

Well... it's better than sticking a bulky phone in a bulky case.

buttons
how are the buttons on this case? are they real stiff like on the otterbox defender and commuter?
