As for this vs the Siedio case, I'm thinking this one is a bit thinner and would fit in my pocket easier.

It's 29.99 - and will be available at Sprint stores upon launch. You might be able to grab one now depending on how charismatic you are...
As for online, the online sprint store may be selling them - not sure, you'd have to check on the 4th.
Nice I like the look of that case and I just orderd the ghost armor case as you get the whole body armor for 14.99, the bodyglove might be better but I might use both, and then be covered for everything...
im usually not a fan of these type cases but i think ill grab it for the honeymoon period also
Will never get another body glove again. Their tabs break off all the time. Went through two of them in a month for my TP2.
damm i checked the sprint accessory online store and its not available yet i guess but ill b heading to the store to c if they got any before launch.so far got screen protector for the SUPERSONIC.
I've been searching online for the past couple of days for a case for my Evo. I really want this body glove case. I am going to stop by my Corporate Sprint Store tomorrow on my way to work to see if they have any and if they would let me buy one. I called them earlier last week about another matter and the store associate started talking about the Evo. When I told him I would have mine this past Friday he was shocked and wanted to see it. So maybe...and I mean maybe if I go up there show them my Evo and everything they may be nice and let me get one of the cases. Plus I have a Sprint Premier Account, so we'll see.

Has anyone had similar issues? Have you tried other cases? If so, what would you recommend for protection and as slim as possible...

YES! I've had the exact same results with the Samsung moment case, the front panel is held on by 4 small plastic tabs.
These tabs easily break off just by taking the case on and off. I replaced my case twice after giving up completely and going naked. I'll never buy Body Glove again.
I would be very careful with the Body Glove or Seidio cases. I bought the Seidio Innocase II and put it on my iPhone 3GS on day one. When I got it ready for sale a few days ago, I removed the case to find some scratches on the chrome bezel. The felt on the rear protected the back just fine. If they lined the entire case with it, then it would be good. The bezel on the Evo appears to be shiny plastic, so I would expect it to scratch even easier than the metal iPhone bezel.
I've tried other cases...

I have tried other cases, they are of the cheaper rubber cases that have this interlocking mechanism on top and bottom that were okay, the fit wasn't good but the cases were good. The unfortunate thing is that comparing a TP2 case with the Evo case is apples and oranges.
That IS until I saw that the Evo case is also a 2-piece snap on. If there is no sliding keyboard why then is it a two piece snap on and not a once piece hard case? The tabs break, pure and simple. If the reset button is under the back cover, every time you take off the back bodyglove cover, you risk breaking the tabs holding the case in place.
When I say I have gone through two bodyglove cases, I wasn't kidding. The thing looks good, until the case parts start randomly popping off because the tabs have broken off. Not really a protector then, is it?

Hmm, well thanks a lot guys, I've definitely changed my mind on this case. I'll probably go naked until Otterbox comes out with a case (in which case the honeymoon phase will be over, and I'll be more worried about long-term protection).

Give the Sprint Silicone Case a try. I got it and love it. It's nice and cheap especially with a 25% premier customer discount. It covers everything, slips on easy and comes off easy, good fit, and it actually makes the power button easier to hit and feel.
http://shop.sprint.com/NASApp/onlin...=Carry+&+Protect&selectedAccessoryID=CZH1980R
Its pretty nice. I have it and its decently built. Only structural issue I see is by the volume keys. But otherwise seems quite solid.
I like the look of the case, very cyber, but if it splits the longest way around the edge& is only held together with little tabs, I'd look elsewhere. On a one-piece phone with no moving parts there is no sense in it. I'm looking at the Seidio since it has the smallest seam, it goes around the middle, and is made to be held in holster. I don't like shoving phones in my pocket any way and especially not this giant thing. Second choice might be the Sprint one with multi colors or the silicone one.
I love my Evo body glove
I bought My body glove from the Dover, NH Sprint store from wireless link. The thing is amazing picked it up for $20 (special discount)
When I bought my evo, they had that body glove case at the store for $20. I got it, and I like it. It almost has an "iron man" type of look to it. The thing I liked about it was that it was thick enough to protect the camera, meaning when you laid it down, the camera didnt touch anything.
It is a pain in the butt to take off though. It has the back piece and then a really cheap-feeling front piece, and they clip together around the phone. Its hard to un-clip them at that point. I've already bent the hell out of the side of the front piece, but it still looks alright.
Regardless of that, I'd say its worth getting.
i have it like above mentioned feels cheap when taking on or off but when on its great protects camera lense i have no complaints so far i might be grabbing one of those 3500mah batteries so ill probably have to change sooner or later
My gf recently got one of those Gizmobies (http://www.gizmobies.com/) skin protectors for her phone and it seems pretty nice.
I was wondering if we have anything similar for our phones. I've seen some but they look just like stickers X_x.. these seem to have a little fluff to them which I think adds more protection than if I just got some sticker type thing :x
anyone know X_x ?
Well there's the invisibleshield by zagg, but that's a clear protector.
Sent from my Gingerblurred Atrix
I've got an Invisible Shield, by Zagg, it's clear on the front and with a rocker skull printed on the back of the phone, put it on today, just have to let it be for a day or to and it's good to go. There are some nice backs there in Zagg, you might give it a try

The most popular skins with designs - >

Atrix section -> http://www.decalgirl.com/category.view/Motorola-Atrix-4G-Skins
mm the reason i took an interest in these gizmobies is because it's not just a flat skin but instead it has a little padding in between which adds some good protection to the device..
well hopefully one day we'll get something similar.
Thanks anyway
Anyone have experience on this ? http://www.uniqueskins.com/Products/Motorola/Custom+Motorola+Atrix+Gel+Skin
these actually look like the gizmobies I posted .. it's currently 50% off
Hey SGS2 owners,
Does anyone know of an Australian re seller for these cases?
I am going down to the snow in a few weeks and wanted to take some nice 1080p video while i was down there and make sure its nicely protected.
Or does someone know of another case that would help?
Cheers
im from Australia, i brought a Case-Mate Tough Case for my SGS2 from my local Joyce Mayne Store
hope that helps...
sort of helps .. nearest Joyce Mayne is about 103kms away haha
Might give them a ring and see.
Cheers
i bought my Case-Mate Tough Case directly from the manufacturers website
had no issues with payment, shipping etc and got the case within 2 weeks
i brought mine for $29.95 from my local Joyce Mayne Store, the screen protecter that you get with the case did not fit the SGS2 it was to small and the cutouts were wrong so i took it back and showed them and they gave me a free 3 pack of Belkin screen protecters worth $15...

I thought I was the only one. In fact, I thought I was just too stupid to figure out which way it was supposed to go on.
I'll contact Case Mate. I bought mine direct from their site.
I was wondering if anybody knows whether or not the SGP Neo Hybrid cases properly fit the galaxy S II from t-mobile or if they are too small or a little bit large since all the different versions of the phone don't have the same dimensions.
It fit fine on day one, but has since sagged in the back and is loose as hell now. The material just doesn't hold shape well.

I agree, the silcone expanded alot and the plastic even reshaped abit. This happened to my friend with this case to. Not recommended.
I can also confirm this sagginess. Not recommended at all, same goes for the other SGP silicone skins.

ive emailed SGP about this issue and they said the warranty covers it so you guys might want to return it to them and ask for a replacement
what did you guys do to your sgp hybrid
ive had a dante red one for ags now and take it on/off once a day to swap batteries and it still isnt sagging at all?? infact its a very nice case and protects the sgs2 really good
it even fits the 2000mah battery and new back cover
its my fave case and sgp offer warranty on any mis-shaped silicone and will send out a new one so stop complaining about them and just use the warranty if you have had problems
like i say ive had mine months now and it is fine and it gts taken on/off once a day
i say buy one , its the best case going for the sgs2

I have the yellow Neo Hybrid on my phone (have for months now) and can confirm the sag in the back. I've tried to use the warranty, but I used Cretouch (authorized reseller of SGP products) and their warranty replacement is only for 30 days, and SGP won't honor the merchandise they produced.
And yes I've read the policy and can see that in my case it wouldn't be covered (so I'm up chocolate creek without a popsicle stick) but doesn't make it a consumer-friendly experience.
If you do decide to buy it, buy it directly from SGP so you have their warranty.
I got mine a couple of months ago, and after a month or so it started sagging at the back.
Also, the frame doesn't even fit tight on my S2, so it feels very flimsy... I went back to using my Momax i-Case Pro.

did you buy a cheap fake though dude
ive just posted about cheap fakes here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20836215#post20836215
the fake ones do collect dust , the genuine ones have a coating to the silicone which means they dont collect dust at all
my dante red sgp hybrid is completley dust free , the fake ones i bought seem to collect dust out of the air let alone in your pocket mate
i say buy a genuine one , these cheap fakes are worst then a £1 case from ebay , they just have sgp branding on them , its like branding a old robin reliant with a dodge viper badge or something
please dont let the poor fakes put you off they are nothing like the genuine sgp cases , as i said above the sgp cases have a coating to the silicone and they are one of the only silicone cases that actually dont collect dust , however these fakes are obvously cheap and dont have that coating hence the dust collecting like anything
purchased for $18 at a kiosk in the midle of a mall w boostmobile plastered all over it, everyone that sees the case says it sucks and that my phone can fall right out. to me it feels like the ph
one can fall out the case but i have had it for 3 days and have yet to have the phone fall out, i dont think i will be holding the case on the edges and upsidedown any time soon.
for a total of $23 i got the case plus screen protector
I have a $50 radioshack giftcard but did not want to spend it on a $55 hard case and i could not find any other options without having to purchase a case online.

you should have purchased a case online. could have saved yourself $15, and got a really really really really really nice case...(relative to the one you got anyway)

i know i know it looks bad, i had no choice i payed $400 for the phone basicly because of my credit with att so i was not about to let $400 of my savings get scrached up..
since i purchased the universal ps3 controller clip im thinking about using this case with the clip and purchase another one for normal use.
any ideas or suggestions? i like the style the htc one has and dont like having a case covering it but buying a clear case is like not having a case because no one knows its there.

Not quite sure what you're asking here. Are you saying you like clear cases because it keeps the phone's original look...our are you saying you don't like them because no one will know you have a case? Your use of but in there makes the sentence a bit weird
Assuming the former, checkout the links I provided above. It's a tpu case so it offers decent protection. Also checkout the kayscase. It's hard plastic so not as good protection wise...but it's totally clear

I think hes just asking for suggestions and he merely pointing out that he doesnt like cases because it hides what the device looks like, but with a clear case you can see thru it and it doesn't hide the devices appearance so it's probably not out of the question for him option wise.
Personally, I myself do not like cases either. Why buy a nice fancy looking phone just to hide it?
A clear case is a nice alternative as are full skins which are my personal choice.
