I bought one of these for my MyTouch3G last year, and thought it was the BEST case I've ever had for a phone. I'm desperately wanting one for my MT4G, but haven't found one anywhere online yet. Anyone know where we can get these? I bought mine on eBay for $4.99 and free shipping from Hong Kong, and I got it in less than 2 weeks.
Here's a link to a current eBay auction for the MT3G version so you can see what I'm talking about...

I agree, those are the best cases I've used. Had one for my original MyTouch and loved it. Hopefully they will get in gear and make them for the 4G now.
That's like the TPU cases others have mentioned, and been on the lookout for on eBay.
I like how they're flexible, but not plain silicon, and maintain the profile of the phone as much as possible.
I gotta pick up something pretty soon. I'd consider just a Phantom Skinz, but with a 3 year old who loves Angry Birds running around the house I need something that offers some drop protection.

i had been looking for these aswell. i bought one for my curve last yr from this guy. clicked this post in hopes to find that you had found them lol. i sent the seller an email asking about these for the 4g. ill check back in if/when he responds
How well does that case absorb a shock if the phone is dropped? I really like how its molded really well to the body-lines of the phone and doesnt look thick. Let us know asap when you do find out if they sell them yet! Thanks!

Dear cw54o,
we will be getting these shortly in the next 1-2
weeks

That's awesome news about him getting these cases in the next 1-2 weeks. I'm on my second T-Mo case, and I really haven't been too thrilled with them. Way too much money IMO for cases like these, and I'm considering returning/exchanging my newest one (soft rubber sleeve with white plastic backing) because the rubber attracts WAY TOO much dust.
These cases are STILL not available anywhere yet. Total BS!

yeah i knw, i just checked his ebay store and nothing
There's Epik cases on eBay for the HTC HD7, didn't that come out the same day or about the same timeframe as our MT4G? If so, why hasn't there been an Epik case made yet for our phone?
i have no clue, but on a side note tmble has these type of cases at their stores. im tempted to get 2 of them. they have a sale going on 2accessories will land u 20% off and 3 will get u 30% off, but their 20 a peice....
T-Mobile does not carry the Epik branded cases at their stores. They don't have any cases that even come close to the Epik brand.

they arent 'epik' cases BUT they are TPU cases, which is exactly what the epik cases are. they have them for several phones including the mytouch 4g. if i go back ill take a pic and show you. if it werent for the price difference i would have gotten it. but yeah im pretty sure a youtube search would confirm it.
DCMugen88 posted black and clear cases today. I got black
awww daewond3r beat me too it i was too busy trying to figure out if i wanted clear or smoke blk and put in my order to post the link lol but here u go to those who are looking for it
enjoy
Thanks for the link. Ill be ordering a few. Great prices! i was close to ordering some case on amazon for 24.99 + shipping.
Sucks that these won't be arriving until after xmas though.
Nice! Do you think the epik cases will still fit if you have the CF Chromatics on? My little girl puts a beating on my phone while playing with talking Tom . Ordered anyway, you cant go wrong with the price! Thanks for the heads up fellas!

Are these the bendable gel cases they had for the MT3G? It doesn't really specify that anywhere on his auctions, and the pictures make it look more like a hard plastic or hard gel/plastic case.
Wanted to start a thread sharing what kind of cases people were getting and include pictures if possible. I was thinking of one of these:

belkin slim
I got the belkin slim that BB had after I got my 32 grey from Fry's since BB only had 16's and that was late friday. The case is nice and very thin but still padded.

I have the belkin one and i do not recommend it to anyone. Im really not much of a fan of the blue texturing on it and for some reason you cant have the case closed and charge the tab simultaneously. I plan on returning it and getting the sammy one instead.

But then don't get free shipping
Only the Samsung case doesn't have cheap elastic bands in the corners or a "pouch" to slide the tablet in...and I hate the leather (or whatever) frame around the screen. I much prefer the way the tab snaps into the Samsung case, leaving the face of the tab clean and completely obstructed. That's why I went for the Samsung case.
I got the Belkin verve case (all black one) just something to protect the tab. The Samsung book one looks nice but I'm waiting for a few more reviews?
I'd like to get the Samsung case as well... hopefully you'll be able to find it from third party vendors for significantly less in the near future.

I'm calling shenanigans on this... I checked about 4 hours ago and just now for the hell of it. Yes, the blue 'buy online' button is there, but when you click the button, it is still back ordered and I have not received my email notification that it was ever in stock today...
Has anyone actually purchased it and have a tracking number?
I have ordered the Samsung Leather Pouch (normally $30). I'm going to look it over and if I feel I need a sturdier case occasionally, then I'm going to pickup the the Samsung Book Case. I am also considering trying out a silicone cover.

You can still get free shipping based on the order total ... check the instructions when you checkout. I ordered the Leather Pouch, Desktop Dock and Stylus and got free 3 day shipping.
I actually bought 2. The samsung book case. and this one from ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190542584350&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
IDK why I bought both. Just wanted a second one.
I got the gray slim Belkin case as well. I had a $25 Bestbuy gift card and used that... I'll sell it on craigslist as soon as the Samsung leather case becomes available and gets good reviews...
I think the Belkin isn't that bad actually.
I ordered one of these and I love it. Perfect fit and super light. Just wanted to share. Best $2 I've spent in a while

yeahi noticed on the seller, i thought itd have a color choise on one item not separets lol
Will probably pick one up. The cool thing about ordering from Hong Kong is usually it takes so long you forgot you ordered it...and when the package arrives, its like christmas
Probably hasn't been long enough for anyone to get these, but they look great. They look to be a good alternative to the ruggedized back cover from Moto. It looks to me like this might work with the docks if the the sleeve is taken out, kind of like with the Moto covers. Anyone care to confirm or speculate with me?
Edit: Also look at this link, 3 of them in 3 different colors for $3.92: LOOK!
Awesome, I just ordered 3 of these, I have been looking for something simple like this for months! Excellent post OP. I owe you a case of beer if you're old enough. Way to go.

Are you looking on ebay? When I click the link it takes me to the item.
i found them. did a search for atrix mesh.
Hey can you post pictures of it on your phone please
Has anyone received this yet? Can we see some photos?
I received mine today, although cannot take pictures since I need something other than my Atrix to do that. But, it fits in car dock with the small plate on the dock removed. It is a tight fit but it fits and the clamp closes, unlike the Incipio case. Just because of that this instantly became my favorite case.

Nice! Makes me love my orange cruzerlite even more!
Sent from my Nexus 5
is there anyway to get 2 day shipping if i order a case from cruzerlite?? i went on there site but i only see standard shipping? i need a case bad.. no sprint stores have them.. best buy dont have them.. radio shack.. no one has any nexus 5 cases at all.. so i want to order one.. will have to find a family memeber to order for me cause i dont have a bank card anymore..
For my last 3 phones I evertime just had a normal TPU case without any "extra armor" and no phone ever took some damage of falling. This is a great video he made! It shows that for normal daily usage an "armor" case is pretty oversized and a normal TPU layer (like I am going to get from Diztronic for my N5 like I have for my GNex) is absolutely enough protection.
My GNex looks like on the first day I got it (almost 2 years) and I used it first with a very cheap TPU case and then with the Diztronic ones (in this time I dropped the phone lot of times)

If you don't mind a goofier pattern, they do have another pattern in stock. I can't post links yet, but search amazon for "Cruzerlite Experience Case nexus 5" and you'll find it.

There may not be phyical damage, but I used to use a simple tpu case like this with my iphone and even though it didnt look damaged, I did overtime damage lots of internal components. I had to replace, both microphones, front facing camera and charger port. Having something with a little more shock absorption is nice in the long run.

WHICH Cruzerlite case?
Cruzerlite makes a lot of models--which one, specifically, was used in the video?
I ordered a cruzelite last Tuesday (11/5) and they still haven't sent me shipping info =/

Looks like two models to me, standard tpu (3x style to choose from), or spi-froce. The case in the video looks like a blue Androidified A2, but any of the standard TPU would feature the same protection IMO.

Where did you order from? We ordered from Amazon at like 9PM EST and it shipped out the next day..
Oh wow, I'm glad I decided to use a case from day 1.
I bought the red cruzerlite circuit case.
Unfortunately, cruzerlite cases tend to peel of my screen protector when applied, so I use spigen ultra hybrid instead.
It's a shame because I really like the color.

ordered from their site, i should've ordered from amazon and it would have been here in two days. I swear it's like carrying a baby around. I don't even take it to work I use my nexus 4 there because I am nervous. I got the teal TPU case.
Wanted to get a cheap case to hold me over until i order one of the more expensive ones. Do these generic cases made for 8 inch tablets work ? Here are some other ones I was looking at for the mean time.

Currently waiting on the TPU case myself, which I ordered near a month ago at this point... Last time I get something from AliExpress.
Hoping the IVSO will be available in the color scheme I like on eBay soon, want that as well.
