New style Matte/Glossy TPU Style cases available
http://www.evocases.net

i would jump if the clear wasn't frosted. i just picked up the glossy white evo, and would like to keep the glossy appearance. good prices though!
edit: retraction! the frost is fricking awesome! just got it today and its bad ass on the white evo!

I just ordered one. I'm going to try out the clear frost case. I was a little on the fence about it, but for $5, its worth checking out. Ill update as soon I get it.

Need more pics. Looks like it will be very difficult to hit the power button.

It does take effort to activate the power button. This has been my experience with other TPU cases as well until the case is "broken in", not that TPU is similar to leather, but leather also requires some "breaking in" to achieve full performance.

Best seen with the Frosted case. Note the clear edges.

Since a lot of you have asked, here is an XDA coupon code for $1 off.

Just don't use the quotes.

I ordered 2 black and two frosted yesterday can't wait to check em out.

the frosted one looks pretty nice. for the guys who already ordered, please share some pics and thoughts on it when you get it!

I'm unfamiliar with these TPU cases. Are these just applied to the back and the whold front screen surface is basically still unobstructed? Can't quite tell from the pic. If so, I think that's what I've been looking for.
Also, does anybody know if it will fit over a full body Zagg?
Easy to remove? Want to use one for a disc-type car mount too maybe.

I just got my black TPU case....it fits SNUG around the phone and has a nice overall feel in the hands. Also slips in and out of the pocket with little resistance. The camera is well protected for such a slim case build.
The power button is a bit tough to push as are the volume up and down buttons but I will give them some time to "break" in.
I would definitely recommend checking this case out for the $6 dollars paid.

you just cant beat that price... You should get these posted on ebay and amazon. With that price and us seller theirs no doubt it will be a hit.

Thanks for the kind words.

I just ordered up a black one I've been pretty unsatisfied with the cases I've played with so far but this one looks pretty good, especially for $6 shipped.

ordered one, thanks for the discount code

Ordered one too... Discount code? How much did you pay overall? I Paid 7.25

eBay i9000 case

Pics included. It came with 2 plastic screen protectors.

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.

I have this case in pink. It's great for the money. Not sticky at all and fits the phone well.

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.

Trident Cyclops Case for $25

Everyone hurry up and order. I was surfing the net looking for a place that sells Trident Cyclops case at a discounted price when i came upon this website that is selling it for $24.95. That is $10 cheaper than anywhere else I looked at. I dont know how long this will last but if you want to get a good high quality case i suggest you order now. By the looks of it, it could be the otterbox alternative that we are looking for.

Black case arrived today. So far am impressed. Went on easy and seems solid. It fits the vibrant well, and the power and volume buttons are ready to press. Power burton may actually be easier to hit now.
I do not like the feel of the built in screen protector, and it will probably be gone soon.
For some retain I found it impossible to get swype to type actually. Took ten tries. I do not blame the case for that though.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Case is impressive
I got the red one today and so far I really enjoy it. My only problem is when it arrived there was dust and stuff on the side of the screen protector that goes on the screen. So it was hard to get off and kind of frustrating. Other then that went on easy and no complaints right now.

I got mine today too suprisingly fast shipping got it within the week even with the holidays. Yes dust seems to be the only problem but great case at a great price

[REVIEW] Ballistic SG Case (UPDATE)

UPDATE:
I have seen a lot of questions about people seeing this case with out the lip portion which is on the top right of the screen. I just found this case on ebay which is half the price and does not have the lip.

Here is a White version I also found which looks nice.

Ballistic SG Case for T-Mobile
I just saw it on eBay and it looks like a great case for protection.
Here is the company's site with the standard S2. They haven't added our phones yet to their site.
http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s2-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case
Just recieved it today. I like the way it looks but it has a couple of drawbacks.
Pros:
1) Pushing the volume or power button is the best I have seen yet for the T-Mobile GS2 cases. Very fluid just like there isnt a case and the buttons make the natural noise that they make just like not using a case.
2) Seems to be the best protection I have seen for the GS2. I think it will handle a drop very easily.
3) I dont have a screen protector but the way this is designed I dont see how this case would cause any issues like the D30 cases do due to a tight fit. Its somewhat loose and should not cause the corners of a screen protector to lift up.
4) Has a great feel to it and adds some weight to the phone.
5) Protects the back camera perfectly.
6) It does add some thickness to the phone but this is because the phone is extra protected. I would say it is about 1.5x to 1.75x as thick as the phone without a case on it.
Cons:
1) The first layer is rubber and due to this fact it has a few issues.
2) Collects lint easily from your pocket.
3) Can be difficult at times to put in and out of your pocket due to the rubber.
By far though this is the best case I have had for a phone. I own a couple of TPU cases for the T-Mobile GS2 and a D30. It makes the D30 look like junk even though the D30 is a great basic case.It has some drawbacks but the pros outweigh the cons. I definitively recommend this case to anyone that wants the ultimate protection for their phone and doesnt mind cleaning the lint off everyonce in a while. If you like my review please give me a thanks.

just saw one too. didnt kno that they started to make them yet. their a little bulky for my line of work. and since im a student im not really in the situations where is need THAT Much protection....but do a review if you get one.

I ordered one. As soon as it comes in I will post pics.

I have to say yes... I'll take measurement tmrw but the corners are thicker than all of it. Its still not bad. Fits in my pocket n like how it feels in my hand ... I like the texture of back compared to the d3o.
To be fair, the rubber corners will pick up lint just like vibrant otter box. This thing is maximum protection...

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Thanks, got one on order. This will be my 4th and hopefully final case for this phone, I am a fan of otterbox so I think I will like it. I started with the black bodyglove from tmobile, not a bad case but a pain in the ass to take of so I got one of the clear TPU cases from ebay and its a great case. And then the D30 came out so I exchanged the bodyglove for it, had to take it back because it fit like crap, the next one fit 95% better but is still uneven around the edges and for a $25.00 piece of rubber it should be perfect like the $7.00 one from ebay.

The first D30 that I got was from T-Mobile. That one fit perfectly, just didn't like the way how the button press felt. So then I also got a TPU case from eBay. Next thing T-Mobile gave out the cases so I picked it up, returned the original one I bought at T-Mobile store, but then the one I got from T-Mobile online, it fit 95% and was bubbling up my Realook. I was hoping for a Seidio case to come first but since I've heard good things about Ballistic case, I gave it a shot. Waiting for it to come in the mail now.

Got the case today and its awesome.

Casemate barely There Brushed aluminum REVIEW

Yep,
Got this puppy, and god it looks sexy! that brushed aluminum gives a total different look to the phone. This is the color the phone shouldve been in the first place
only downside is the price..at 40bucks..its kinda expensive and its not super protective so ull feel like maybe its too much money for it.
Anyways, here it is!
http://youtu.be/kXkqFgsX5as

That's 30 dollars too much of the Maximum I'd pay for a non-otterbox.

$27 on eBay with free shipping. Not bad, I've been looking at some aluminum back covers for mine since I spend a lot of time in the woods and on rocks.

Got this one yesterday when I picked up my phone at the sprint store.
yeh its very pricy..
but it looks factory..
but I am second guessing myself for buying it. protection seems quite light.

This case has been proven to diminish data/gps signal on some other phones.
Could you do some back-to-back testing on the SIII to see if it has the same problem?
Put the phone on a table with the case on and run a speedtest.net test.
Then remove the case and put the phone back to the *exact same spot* on the table and run the test again.
See if the tests download data faster without the case on.

If you guys like this case, I found a similar one on Amazon. Looks pretty much identical. Here's the link. When I got it, it was $10 plus free prime shipping, but now they have it listed with $4.99 shipping. Still looks really good though and it comes with a screen protector. I preordered my Galaxy S3 from Verizon, so I don't know how the fit is yet. But I'll let you know once the phone comes in.

I have this case and it provides a lot more protection than its being given credit for. My wife dropped my phone from about a 3 foot height directly onto concrete. The phone suffered no damage. I have 3 scuff marks on the front of the case and 2 on the back where the phone fell and took the impact (it fell, bounced, flipped, and landed on the opposite side)......again, zero damage to the phone, only to the case.

Hey for what it's worth I bought this case and replaced with a "rock" case. Downsides were that it is too slippery, degraded my signal, and was slightly too bulky to where the power and volume buttons were difficult to press because the lip over the front were too thick.
As for signal degradation I only say this anecdotally. In my basement I get 1-2 bars with the rock case. With the aluminum backed case I would get 0-1 bars and most text messages would fail to send.
