Sitting in the office just now and I had to get my USB flash drive out of my pocket. Just happened to be the pocket my phone was in. Anyway my phone took a spill to the floor, which was about 16~18 inches onto hard linoleum and it must have hit just right because this happened:

Phone came away 100% but I guess I would have expected the case to hold up better to such a low fall. I chose the Case-Mate Barely There over the TPU case because it slides in and out of the pocket easier but at $25.00 dollars a pop, I don't want to have to replace it when it takes a spill. Obviously, the TPU case would have never broken though.
I've had this case like a month or two maybe? This was actually my second one, lost the first one (lost the phone) but liked it enough to re-order another. I'd never dropped it though.
Sigh...
These cases are useless and are just for looks. There's a reason they're called "Barely There." TPU cases are the way to go.
Thinking back, I think I may have dropped my first case and phone maybe one time in a gravel driveway. It got a couple scratches, but gravel has some give to it, the hard floor in my office apparently does not.
I guess I would have figured the plastic was more impact resistant then this. I'm very disappointed in how this case held up.
Again, I realize the TPU case is basically rubber and would have had flex but I really like the thin profile of the Barely There.
I think I might have to go with the TPU case. I'm going to contact Case-Mate and send them my photo's but from the sound of their warranty, I'm SOL. The first sentence in the warranty is:
All Case-Mate products are fully guaranteed against defects in materials or workmanship.

Which pretty much is an out for providing any warranty. I would sure argue the point that the case cracking so easy was a materials and or workmanship issue though lol.

They're not rubber. It's thermoplastic polyurethane. It's basically flexible plastic that doesn't shatter or tear, and you can get it in matte. For the Epic Touch, this was my personal favorite: http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Fle...qid=1340119072&sr=8-4&keywords=epic+touch+tpu
It's thin and sleek and matte.
I used the term rubber loosely. I know it's a type of plastic, I just meant that it has more flex to it like a hard rubber.
Anyway, I'm definitely going TPU this time around.
Now, who makes the thinnest TPU case? I remember hearing TPU-Cases (the maker) was all the rave back when this phone first came out but I'm sure other vendors are making cases now too. I've not heard of Diztronic, looks nice though.

TPU cases are the best by far, and the most reasonably priced. They're known as Dizitronic now, but they're the same brand. Definitely buy the case I linked you to if you want a similar case to what you had but TPU. You'll have no fear tossing your phone onto the table or dropping it anymore. Might want to get a screen protector if you drop it on gravel though.
I have a Zagg screen protector, yes.
I've already made up my mind, I'm ordering the Diztronic TPU case. Your recommendations and feedback sold me.
I think Dizitronic, Cimo, and generic ebay TPU cases are all made in the same factory since I have multiple cases and they are identical fit. Looking back I wouldnt pay $10 for another TPU case liek I did with dizitronic. The $3 case off ebay is just as good.
Yeah but the the Diztronic ones come with warranty and they revise them if anything is wrong and will send you a new one at no charge. In other words they put more effort into what they do.
qualified somext
Just look at it this way. Had you not had a 25 dollar case, you would be holding a shattered 500 dollar phone.

Got the case today, decided to take some first-hand pictures. Unfortunately I have to wait until Friday until it can wrap around a phone. But, I figured I would post some photos and first impressions.
I must say that it feels amazing in your hand. The material is soft, but not too soft. Build quality of the case appears to be very nice. There are a few spots where it appears there are rough edges, but once on a phone they would not be noticeable.
The case in it's package
Here you can see the felt material on the inside of the case

Compared to my Hero w/ a cheapo hard/rubberized case
So there is a soft felt-like material in there....hmm... will definitely need to look into that. If you drop your phone, how well do you think the case would handle it?
I love hard shell outside/rubber interior cases because they can take a beating (wife's Speck iPhone case)

If it's anything like my Hero's case, it will do great. The case is taking a nice beating but the phone is mint.
i used the simple silicone skin from sprint with my hero and it was great. it definitely attracted lint and was hard to take out of the pocket, but i dropped the phone on concrete numerous times and it just bounced with absolutely no damage to the phone, even when dropped screen-down. i'm worried the seidio case would be less shock absorbent as it's not really rubber

My Hero's case has held up really well. I dropped my phone on my garage floor and it slid about 2 feet. No damage to the phone.
its alot like the best buy one made by Seidio seen in this thread http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=207109
Now, all you need is the phone! lol
Seidio Innocase looks hot.
I ordered my Seid case but I think I might have screwed myself. I'll most likely order the big battery when it is released and I assume I'll need a different case. Does Seidio usually mane an Innocase for the larger battery?
Best Buy carries the same case but under a Best Buy house brand name. The Seidio name is on the box though. On the back of the case it says "Pt" instead of Seidio. Just got it today. They have it in gun metal, black, and purple. $29.99. It's an awesome case. Perfect fit.
I'm having a hard time removing the case. Help?

Push lightly on the back of the lower half where the two halves come together, then pull the top part off. I had trouble at first, but it came off after I did that.

Thanks for providing that tip on how to remove this case. I had a hard time removing it earlier. Which by the way, I was able to to remove it but not by the way you just described. Your way is way better
Thanks
I have one too as I have for my Treo Pro and Hero. I find that my Evo case is loose at spots? Anyone else find this? It might just be mine.

I actually thought it was a little loose, too. The case is clipped on snug, but it feels a bit wobbly in certain areas. Definitely not something that takes away from the quality of the case, but I wish it were a bit more snug.
This case and clip are amazing..I can clip it for work and put in my front pocket when I'm out..

you know you could put a piece of tissue paper in the areas that you think could use a bit more snugness. Any extra tissue coming out from the sides can be removed with tweezers
this case is awesome. best buy gave me 50% off since they were either out of the bluetooth headset or it was only for the first 10 people (they werent sure...lol)
I know there have been reviews for the body glove before, but my father has a captivate as well so I took the opportunity to take some pictures with it next to mine for those of you interested in the amount of bulk it ads. While it adds a little bit of thickness and length, I prefer the feel of it compared to running bare. It feels more solid, and less prone to slip in the hand. As for the fit, it is tight enough that I have no fears of it coming off unless I need it to. The feel of the materials is very nice, and it slides in and out of pockets easily. I got one off of ebay for about $10 with shipping, so for that price it's amazing, but I gladly would have payed the $25 or $30 stores are charging. Highly recommended!

have the same case and I've dropped this phone so many times at the bar... bounces rite back... i swear by it too!
While I like my Mirage, I like the cheap ebay "Argyle" TPU sleeves much more, They are slightly slimmer than the Mirage and they fit slightly snugger. For $8.53 they are well worth it.
Just an update, dropped my captivate for the first time today. It fell out of my pocket about 3 feet face up onto concrete. Luckily I had the case on and there was no damage whatsoever. There doesnt even seem to be any indication of an impact on the case. I'm very happy I got it!
Got one for xmas, I love it. gives it a little more girth and easier to hold onto. not rubbery as its a hard rubber but it does provide a little grip.
I very much suggest it for a case.
I dropped my phone today on the street and the body glove protected it real good and nothing happened...It fits the phone perfectly and snug to protect it...Without the case I would imagine some real damage might have been done to the phone...it doesn't come with a screen protector so that also needs to be addressed as well to make sure your phone is really protected.
I got 1 for myself and my son from the att store the day i got 2 captivates and i must say after holding the captivate with the case i cannot use it without a case anymore because it just feels to thin/light weird heh.
The only thing i noticed with the body glove (bought mine "OEM" off ebay) is that fitting it over the top left a slight scuff on the corner(those that are visible only at a specific angle). It might just be how i put on the case although
Just wanted to say thanks for this review with the great pics. I just bought 2 of these cases (one for me, one for my wife). Both of us love them, definitely gives the phone a better, sturdier feel to it.

+1 I can't go without the case either. It feels like it will fly out of my hand at any moment.
Wierd indeed!
I have a cheap vinyl/rubber case. And it collects dust real bad. Do you have this problem with the Body Glove?

Not at all. Doesn't collect dust, lint or anything else from being in and out of my pocket all day. FYI....you can get them fairly cheap on Ebay. Just search for "Samsung Captivate Body Glove" I got a brand new one for around $12 shipped.

Ya my father has a silicone case and I know what you're talking about, its always covered in dirt and dust. There is really no problem of that with the bodyglove except for the occasional dust collecting in the usb port, but thats expected with any case.

Not if you close the USB port cover.
This was the first case I picked up when I got my Captivate in July. Since then I have gotten other cases by Seido and Otterbox but I always come back to this one. Has a more substantial feel to it and doesn't add much bulk. Very nice case.
I think this case is really good cause you have a lot of space to press the volume button and to slide the charging thing. Definitely a great case. Got mine for about 13-14 dollar on the internet.

How easy is it to get the phone in and out of this case? I often put my phone in a Samsung dock at night. I had one of those hard shell cases, but they are a ***** to open so I pitched it.

It's not to bad it's fairly flexible material but stiffer then silicone.
I had/have one of the Incipio cases and it's nice but a royal pain to get off and it's scratched like a hockey puck now. My wife bought the pink mirage case when we got our phones and I wish I had bought my mirage case sooner. Excellent case for the Cappy IMO.
This is my review of the Gumdrop Drop Tech Case for Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Review. Some people might ask "why do you need a rugged case" I simply reply, "why not?" I paid good money for the Galaxy 10.1, money WELL worth it, but I want to protect the device. Aside from the Gumdrop case I recently installed, I also have the ZAGG InvisableSheld Maximum Coverage wrap on it (http://www.zagg.com).
I have always been a fan of rugged cases, starting with the Otterbox Defender I had on my Blackberry 8330. I was disappointed when I contacted Otterbox and found out they had no plans of making a case for the GT101. A few weeks ago I came across the website for Gumdrop (http://www.gumdropcases.com/) and my prayers were answered! I quickly pre-ordered my Gumdrop case for my Galaxy Tablet 10.1, then the waiting began.
I received the case in the mail on Monday October 10th, and was instantly impressed by the packaging it arrived in. Having worked retail for many years, a lot of times you can judge the quality of craftmanship of an item by the package it comes in, this packaging was clean and simple, yet drew attention to it. If I had a storefront, I would have no problem displaying this item on an endcap.

Once I got it opened, it was a bit tricky trying to figure out how to disassemble the case to put my Tablet in it. I was being careful as I didn't want to break anything, which I came to find out would be rather difficult to do to this tablet...
The trick is to start at the top-center and peel the rubber case away from the plastic "shell". Doing so, you can then work around the Tablet and remove the rubber outer layer, which snaps securely onto the shell.
Once the rubber case of off, you then snap the Tablet into the plastic shell. This is a very ridged shell and the tablet snaps extremely securely into place. The shell has the built-in screen protector, so I removed my currently screen protector, which was a ZAGG InvisableSheild which was recently damaged protecting my device, I have a warranty replacement on its way, but wanted to see how this case worked without the ZAGG. Note, I still have the rest of the Maximum Coverage InvisableSheild, which includes back and sides, and it still seemed to fit fine in the case.
I read some reviews about "bubbling" due to the cases built in screen protector (which is replaceable if it ever gets damaged) But I have not seen any distortion what so ever with the screen due to the protector, in fact, it seems alot more crisp and clear then the ZAGG InvisableSheild that was on it.
These next pictures show the shell's fit around the cameras, perfect alignment.
Once I got the shell snapped on, it was time to replace the rubber case. Doing so was fairly simple but wasn't just a case of sliding it over. It requires you to push down around the edges, "snapping" the rubber into the shell. This makes the fit incredible! There is NO play between the rubber case and the hard shell, a problem I often had with my Otterbox cases.
The port covers on this case was something that amazed me. Every Otterbox case I have owned has had the rubber port covers eventually break off, as you can see in the following picture, I do not think this is going to happen with this case any time soon... There is a rather thick piece of rubber holding both the charging port and the headphone port covers on.
So was this case worth the $49.99 I paid for it? Simply put, I would say "Yes". This case might not be for everybody, as it turns a rather slim device into something a little... beefier, I guess would be the best term for it, but in my opinion it did not take away from the portability of the device. If anything, I will take my tablet more places and not have to worry about breaking it...
I am interested to hear from other owners of Gumdrop cases, as well as anyone who has any questions, feel free to let me know!
Thanks!

I agree with all of your impressions of the case and have been enjoying it for a few weeks now as well.
The only bubbling from the screen protector is my own fault as I have yet to remove the Zagg one from the front, which is 100% causing it. Ive just been too lazy to remove it.

I could see how the texture of the ZAGG Shield would cause that... good to know, as I will save my replacement for if I ever want to go case-less.
Patiently waiting for my Military Edition to be delivered. I have the official Samsung case right now, which is decent enough, but doesn't offer a lot of impact protection.
I did have a Zagg shield on the front of my Tab, but I found (with two separate Zagg shields) several thin lines in the shields causing a distortion (very fine lines, like a filament, thin like a human hair). I contacted Zagg and they confirmed this was sometimes a problem with the shields. They did offer a replacement, but then I found out about the Gorila Glass and went without a shield. So far no scratches.
I"Mreally interested in these. How thick does this make the tab? Could I get an actual measurement?
So, I bought the Otter Box Commuter case first sometime last year and was satisfied, but the only thing that bothered me was the fact that it covers the hard buttons and I couldn't see what I was clicking at night and mind you, I just got my DROID X. Now, I can click buttons with my eyes close, lol. Then I searched online how a lot of people were giving good feedback about this Incipio Case and how affordable it was. I was sold for it, because I noticed how it didn't cover the hard buttons, which is what I was looking for.
I bought two Incipio cases off the site, one a black on black and the other a black on red case. It looked beautiful when I got them and tried them on, I liked the black on black more, looked more sleek and a look like the otterbox commuter but slimmer, but the black and red, the red is not as royal bright red as expected to be, as it shows on the site, but it was still a cool case and it was fun switching each other from time to me. The OtterBox was thrown back to its box and stopped using it for good. After a couple months, I noticed that the Incipio case comes off from each others layer and what I mean is that the Incipio case is a two layer case, one a soft rubbery layer and the other a hard shell that goes in the outside, kind of like the otterbox commuter. So, I noticed that it wouldn't stay fit after a while, but it was no biggie at that time, still loved it and was my favorite case. After a few months, the hard shell on the right bottom corner it cracked, and I hardly drop my phone but I think I drop it in the bathroom like a 3 feet high distance, but it was a small chip crack on the right bottom corner. So, I switched to my other extra one and both had the same problem, same place and all. After a while, it got worse, it broke and it look like a tear and then it came off on one of them, the other was still good just a small crack. So, I used the other one which was in better condition and here's the best story of this review:
After sitting in my couch, infront of the tv, I put my DROID X phone with the incipio case on-- on the arm rest of the couch and then suddenly it falls to the floor flat. I was doing a nandroid back up, so I just put it there temporary and I hardly drop my phone, I really try to take care of my phone. So, when I pick the phone up from the floor I looked at it and I didnt see anything cracked and was expecting that because I have it on a case and that's why I bought it for, for protection. But mind you, it was on Clockworkmod mode which the screen is black and the text is blue so once it booted to the home screen and i try to take a pic of my puppy. I see these black spots on the center of the screen like ink colored lines then after a while, it started to spread all over the screen horizontally. The screen is not cracked but i think the lcd screen inside is and it needs a replacement.
I was pissed off and called Incipio to see what they can do for me because I could have sworn they guaranteed protection of your phone. So, I called them and they said that unfortunately they don't cover the phone itself just if the case is cracked and their is nothing Inicipio can do for me. What a piece of garbage case this is, I thought to myself. Now, I have to buy the LCD screen online and look for a repair tech which they charge me to install it is $60 plus the cost of the part and Incipio won't give you credit for anything.
Incipio warranty: Compared to Otterbox's warranty is far beyond better than Incipio's, because with Otter Box (and I've experienced both warrantys and I have both cases) you just call in and they answer fast they ask you a few questions like your address where to ship the replacement at and what model is it and phone and then voila, a couple days in the mail you get you're case without even spending any money or time on sending the defective one. Now with Incipio, you have to fill out a form online, then you submit it until it gets approved. Once it's approved, you send yours back and you have to pay for the shipping charges, no prepad/return label here and then you have to wait until they sent you a new one 7-14 days after they have received yours. You'll be caseless.
My conclusion is, if you want an eye-candy, cute case and not concerned about protection, then go with incipio is all artificial and eye-candy. If you want a good strong case, but yet stylish and sleek, go with Commuter case. Incipio cases are vulnerable to break, crack, and more. Only thing of otterbox is, hard buttons are covered and i didnt like that but i got used to it. Commuter, it feels strong safe, secured a real good case. otterbox is way better than incipio, switching from otterbox commuter to incipio is a big downgrade.
Though Incipio's warranty is lifetime in incipio u have to fill out a form online and then wait to get approved compared to otterbox is quick fast and they do all that for u over the phone without u filling anything out n u sending the case and waste shipping

I am now selling two brand new sealed incipio case as soon as I get the replaced ones from them. I am selling them for $10 each, black/black and black/red or both for $20 shipped. On their site, is $13 and on ebay the lowest one is $22 each and up. I accept Paypal, you still would have the life time warranty through me by giving you the invoice/receipt that I got from them that I purchased from them, but all they ask the invoice number and date of purchase which i still have.
Please feel free to criticize my writing, grammar, and punctuation's. I would love to be corrected so that I can learn how to write properly.
u != you ;-)
Nah, I was just messin' with you.
Your grammar is quite good, but the plural of punctuation is just punctuation.
Sad story, sucks about your phone.
I initially looked at the flip case, but having had a go with a friends, I didn`t like the `flip` when making a call.
I started looking round for alternatives and spotter the Amzer Pudding TPU case.
I wanted something with protection all the way round the phone. I`ve seen several where the corners are exposed. Dropping it on a corner is something I had with an old phone and it immediately cracked the glass, so a fully enclosed cover was top of the list.
This has a `rubberised` texture and in use, it certainly feels grippy. The edges are sticky enough so you won`t drop it easily, but not so bad that you can`t get it in and out of your pocket without it `grabbing` the material. :good:
For £6.50 delivered, I really can`t complain. :good:

Full edge coverage
Closeup of the corners
Neat cutout for the headphone
Camera & Speaker cutouts
Power and Volume controls are covered, but they are easy to use and I haven`t struggled to press the buttons at all.
By how much does the thickness increase..
i know its too much to ask but if u ever remove the case can u post pictures of case and bare mobile side by side
btw i have never used a tpu case..its is rubbery flexible or plasticky...i have heard that its a combination of both

Dropping it on a corner is something I had with an old phone and it immediately cracked the glass, so a fully enclosed cover was top of the list.

But a drop of more than 2-3 feet would probably still break the phone. To get better protection, one should have a case with thick rubber bumpers on the corners like the Trident or Ballistic case. But of course, it wouldn't be as pocket friendly.
I have this case and dislike it. It adds too much thickness for me, but about what you can expect from a TPU case. I buy cases for scratch protection rather than drop protection. I hate the glossy bezel and just wish they had that same back finish for the entire case. The finish of the back is nice since it doesn't pick up fingerprints. The last thing I can't stand is how small the usb connector cutout is. This can probably be fixed with a knife, but it still shouldn't come like that.
is it sturdy material or flexible that it can be like silicon cover in the ease of putting/removing the phone from it?
It is not terribly difficult to put this case on or remove it. One of the best features of this case for me is the matte back section which greatly improves grip and the button molds in the side.

Every time I use a heavy-duty case though I end up removing it after a few months and using a less-protective one because of the bulk, tpu cases seem like an "OK" compromise (or at least I hope).
I've been eyeing the Cruzerlite bugroid ones since watching this IRL drop test (nexus 5) video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY9Svj9fYVg but the Amzer one reviewed here looks very nice :good:
isit a good alternative for the gripshell?
I need a bumper what do you suggest?
It does provide good protection but makes the device look dull. I guess I'll have to buy something else for my wife.

Its very cool, but its expensive. I'm from Spain and this price is elevate for me.

This was the only tpu case available when the phone first launched online. It is a durable case with good protection, not too bulky. Offers good grip. Overall 7.5/10.
After much ado I finally decided on this case, bought it, received it, liked it at first. Then I had it in my pocket for a day at work.
Took my phone out of my pocket and the screen was covered in little waves of dust. And it had gathered up around the edges. Even had a small piece of plaster or something sticking to the screen.
I work in a dusty environment but this is ridiculous. I didn't have problems with my 3GS or Lumia, and though the bareback Moto G's screen seemed to attract a little more dust than those... This case is a DUST MAGNET.
I wish someone would have mentioned that in any of the dozens and dozens of reviews I'd gone over.
