I'm having trouble finding anything I really like, that is dark blue or navy blue.
Don't like medium or light blue colors much.
Any suggestions?
This is what I'll get if I don't find something better.

Already checked ebay. Thousands of cases and none that I like.
The Rock case would be pretty cool if it were dark blue.
This is going to be a "going out" case where form over function is the goal.
Found 1 at the Tmo store ...

I got one at the T-Mobile store today but it's different than the above one. It's by Incipio and is kinda like a Commuter case with the soft inside and hard outer shell. LOVE it! And it keeps the phone thin as well.

I just ordered this because this is the most stylish case I've used. It's very comfortable to hold also. I've had this for my iPhone 4S and will be carrying it onto my Galaxy S3.

Those are nice cases from T- Mobile, but I will never buy accessories from a T- Mobile. The cases are way over priced! Amazon.com has almost everything you need at 1/3 the price. Don't get me wrong, I used to by cases at T- Mobile until I heard people ranting and raving about Amazon.com. P. S. I still have yet to purchase a case for my GS3... Lol

Mine was a $10 premium at T-Mobile but it is the only place you can get the blue one at, and I'm happy to pay it (knew it going in).
But you are right, you can usually get the same thing cheaper elsewhere.

Okay, I finally found one that I'm going to try.
It's a full case, not one of those that leave exposed corners or sides.
I'd prefer a darker blue, but haven't seen a darn thing I liked other than this.

I have the Elago G5 slim fit in blue and I love it as a slim sleek case. Still looking for a more protective (maybe TPU) style case that is sleek and has a kickstand that is flush to the back.

I'm not crazy about this case. But it's not bad either.
Here are some plus's & minuses.
1) It's kind of slick feeling. Like it could easily slip through my fingers.
2) It always feels "dusty" even when it's clean?
3) #2 is probably because it has a "silky soft" feel to it. I'm probably just not used to the way that feels. It does not feel like any TPU case I've ever used before. It does not feel overly rubbery but instead, almost "cloth-like".
4) It's a perfect fitting case. VERY easy to put on and remove. So easy in fact, that you think the phone might fall out. But once the case is on, it feels like it fits perfectly. The case does not wiggle around like some cases I've had before.
5) The cutouts are all very good.
6) The USB cutout is large enough to allow all of my microUSB connectors to flush fit the phone when connected.
7) The blue color has a barely perceptible PURPLE tinge to it. Even though it's mostly blue. Kinda like the phone itself.
8) It has not gotten any scratches in the few days I've used it so far.
9) It has a blemish just above the volume rocker.
10) I missed it during the purchase but the volume & power buttons are covered up.
I ended up purchasing from a Verizon corporate store a glossy blue TPU case made by Belkin. The color closely matches that of the home button and it covers up the power and volume buttons. All the cutouts match up perfectly with the phone.
$20 seemed a bit steep, but the case should last the entire time I have the phone...

Recently picked up two different Cruzer Lite Argyle Pattern TPU cases...here's what I think:
This applies to both the Clear Argyle & Smoke Argyle Cases.
Please note, I'm NOT affiliated with the maker of these cases...just LOVE a good TPU Case!
1. It fits perfectly- nice and snug. Cutouts are just right. Easy to put on / take off. No "give" doesn't feel like it'll get loose on ya.
2. The volume buttons covered with two overlays, defining the buttons nicely. A little stiff at first, but seems to be softening a little over a few days.
3. Not overly slick. Easy to put in your pocket / remove. Seems to have enough friction to prevent dropping. Some of these TPU cases are like holding a wet fish, while your hands are covered in baby oil. This one's just fine.
4. Lightweight - doesn't add any real bulk...most TPU cases don't. Having such a slim, lightweight phone is something to show off...this doesn't detract from that.
5. Great packaging - most of these type of TPU cases just come shipped to you in a plastic baggie. This had said plastic baggie, with another layer of protection inside that...plus a cardboard cutout. (it's the little things that impress)
6. I love that the SGSII logo can be seen through the argyle pattern. This and the darker of the two cases allow for this. I like it!
7. The argyle pattern itself is sharp...I feel it adds to the classy image of this phone.
I'll say in summation, that I've had an overall pleasant experience with this TPU case...and the Owner that sent it to me. Seems like decent Customer Service in my interactions. Of course, in all honesty a TPU case doesn't offer as much protection as an OtterBox...but overall it serves it's purpose!

I like this case too. I posted a few pictures in another thread.
I didn't like how the volume rocker cover felt so I ended up using the cardboard mod that other people were using with the other TPU cases. I might consider removing that mod because I'm afraid it might damage the buttons in the long run.
I really like these as well. Looks like the smoke argyles are sold out at amazon and I cant find them on ebay. anyone know where these are in stock right now?
They will be stock in about a week. I will have nine colors total.

I just got a clear one and a blue one from eBay. 4.99 each and free shipping. There were on my phone in 2 days. My volume buttons are easy to click. Somewhat easier than no case. It gives it more of a clicky feel. ( if that's a word?)

What color did you get?
Ordered the clear argyle case, just arrived today. The case fits like a glove, the only thing is that the argyle design is scratched and faded around the corners. Maybe I'm just being finicky. But I can't really argue with the price. Leaps and bounds better than the silicon case I had, oh and it's lighter too.
The way the cases are molded sometimes small defects can be found on the corners. I am glad to hear you like the case.
Other than those minor problems, I love this case. The case seems good enough to give me peace of mind while handling my phone.
Searching for a good case for the Tmobile Galaxy SII...came across this in ebay..is this any good?linky
Note: Im' no way connected to this seller, just that havent seen many hard cases and from the pictures these seem to be nice
i doubt it, i have a feeling this case only wraps around the sides of the phone, and not not the corners or front bezel of the phone.
i had something like this for my iphone and it only collected dust in the back and made more scratches on the back of the phone
if you drop it, your phone is gonna get F'd, which beats the point of a case.
yeah it looks nice, but i highly doubt the phone will land directly on it's back, on the case
if you want a good case, just get any TPU case, they're cheap and they dont scratch your phone

Check out this. Also located here.
Silver one with video review here.
OP, i was browsing on ebay and looking at that exact same one yesterday and i gotta say, although it looks nice and i was 2 heartbeats away from clicking buy, it isn't protecting much; other than the already safe rubberized battery cover.
I would love one that is the bumper wrap around found for the international SGS2.
Those are awesome looking.

Most cases are aesthetic anyway unless you drop your phone on a flat surface they are pretty much useless. Phone case looks great though.
Getting a metal case like this may impact your GPS and cell reception.

I've had one of these on my old vibrant. They're basically a clear hard plastic on the sides and is snapped on like the incipio feather cases. There is a slight indent in the back which is used for the aluminum "sticker" once the the aluminum is applied u won't see the indent and sits flush. The aluminum is a concentric pattern and pretty ugly in person. But that's my opinion.

I have to disagree with this. Most cases are meant to protect against daily activities. IE: Keys in pocket while walking, non caring when you put your phone down etc etc. Minor drops most cases will help against small dents and scratches as well. If a person is really worried about their phone dropping onto a hard service or really damaging it, then there are cases out there to help protect against such events. If things were aesthetic than people would just leave their phone on without a case.

These have stood the test of time for me. Sleek and durable, used them on my Sensation without issue & have taken some major wallops and spills with the GS2. Supreme protection IMO
I ordered two of these cases from ebay. I would review these with pictures once I receive these.

I have been using this case for 3 days now and I love it. It doesn't add bulk at all, its very light weight, covers all the buttons and nicely wraps around the case and would protect from minor falls. Also it does have all the holes cuts properly, even for the mic. I think it looks good and adds more sexiness to my white phone.
Also you should look at signal bars on my phone. That's how bad I rely on wifi calling lol.
Whoa!
Whoa! The black one is almost $60?!

The two toned color ones look nice! However, I'm worried that the silicone will pick up a lot of lint. Also, for the people who bought one, do the tiny holes collect a lot of lint in them?
I have been using mine for 3 days now. No lint issues here. I like it better then some of the $20 cases I bought from Amazon. After purchasing pretty much every single kind of case for T989 out there, I like this one the best so far.
Got mines today.
Don't think ill keep it, anyone want it, let me know, $12 if in CA.

I wanted to post a review for you guys. This is the best case I've ever used on the T989 or for any phone for that matter. Fits extremely well and has excellent fit and finish (I'm extremely picky) and most importantly the buttons on the side (lock button and volume rockers) are very clicky and have a great feel--unlike a lot of silicone cases where the buttons feel like mush and unresponsive. EXCELLENT BUY. The phone now feels solid and grippy all without getting stuck in your pocket. The back is smooth. Very good balance. Without it, the phone feels flimsy and slippy.

They do have it. I think I found it on the auction site typing t989 hybrid. I don't use mine anymore.
How does it compare to the bulk of something like the Trident Aegis? I'm using the Trident Aegis right now and I'm looking for something with a slimmer profile.
Here it is in white. A simple push of the thanks button would be appreciated.

Broken.
Received mine today. Fast shipping but the top part of the metal mesh was broken. Called them up and another one is on the way. We will see how this one goes.
How is it compared to the Incipio Silicrylic case?
Yes it's available in white as well. Sorry about that! But I love this case so much! When I used the one piece case, the silicone case got loose over time. Since this one has a hard plastic piece which encases the phone. I dont see that happening here. I'll gladly pay the $8 every 3 months if it came to that though.. great feeling case
3 pounds?!
For anyone that may have both how does the protection compare to the aegis. I have the Aegis and like it but it is definitely bulky
fectsul wrap
I ordered both the Trident and Ballistic. I prefered the Ballistic because of the beefier corners. Better protection if dropped. About the same size as the Trident. No experience witht the case of OP. But, I think you usually get what you pay for.
Thx for sharing this.
Just bought one myself recently, it's a case that I actually like.
however, the only gripe I have is that the silicone half doesn't fit as tight around the phone as I would like. but other than that I love it.
Bump!
Thanks Synenergy52, I went ahead and bought one. I want to especially thank you for the nice detailed (nice resolution and angled) pictures; it's very helpful when you can see an actual image--not some 'stock' photograph on the buyer's page.
Anyway, I actually purchased it from here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Samsung...ccessories&hash=item416695ab2f#ht_2241wt_1396 In case the sale is done, I paid $6.49 USD.
Interestingly, that seller has several color variants. Too bad I'm not very original, although I was tempted with their neon green and black case, hence why I went for the black one (also because that's the one I could see an actual image of, thanks to your review).
I was sold more on this thread, than I was when I looked at the product on the purchase page.
Very content with this case.
Thanks.
Had mine a couple months, like it alot. Bought a slimmer s/hard gel type skin which I like more becuse of slimline but it added the echo to my conversations, even with the card trick. So am back to this one.

Exactly my opinion as well. I feel like the silicone material needs to be a tad bit harder so it doesn't flex so much. Which I would gladly pay much more for.

anyone else feel the silicon is to lose around the screen edge.

Didn't care much for the cruzerlite cases because I wanted a full matte back (akin to Diztronic cases) and the price was a little offsetting. Shopped around on eBay and found this one and it looks nice. glossy edges (eh) but the back is full matte which I appreciate. I'll have some more pics up once I get the case hopefully by the end of the week.

For $5, how can you lose?
Thanks for the heads up, definitely let us know how it is when you get it. The cruzerlite sline case is junk so I'm looking for a good cheap TPU case again.
Just ordered one off Amazon as well. Thanks for posting this!
Came in a lot faster than I thought, first impressions - WOW!!! For $4.95, this is hella good.
The fit is very tight and snug; the flat matte on the back mimics the soft touch of the naked n7, if you've used any diztronic case before that's how it pretty much feels. Cutouts are accurate and buttons are very easy to press, the glossy edges help with the grip. The case also is thin enough, overall the best TPU case I've seen and tried, this will be my primary case here on out. Also first phone/tablet accessory I've bought that comes in a paper bag haha.
Thanks for the review. Finally a case that doesn't have some sort of design on the back and doesn't look all cheap and glossy. Wish they made a white one but the black one in your pics looks pretty good.
Good looking out on this case. I couldn't press the "buy it now" button fast enough.
Instant buy.. thanks bro

I recently picked up a blue 2 tone (matte/gloss) case and really like it. I got it for $8.00 on ebay with a free screen protector, earbuds and free shipping.
Got mine yesterday. Fantastico. Really love it. Makes the tablet easier to hold and by having the ridge around the border gives you something to hold on to.

Just ordered mine today. I hope it doesn't make the tablet significantly thicker

It is remarkably thin. Charges via my "wireless" charger with no issues. You'll like it.

Just got it. Delivered in like 2 days. Case is fantastic. Feels real high quality and you were right it barely adds much thickness. Love it.

Received mine in the mail the other day. Only complaint is the flimsy packaging, but this is more of a USPS issues since ( I believe) the delivery person seemed to have laid some heavy packages on my package. The end result upon delivery is I have a heavy bend/crease in the case that wont go away and wont allow the case to fit over the tablet properly. I contacted the company and they are shipping a new replacement at no cost. Great case, and great customer service.
Does the case make the power and volume buttons any harder to press?
I saw them on EBay but I prefer the hard plastic snapon ones. Mine should be here anytime now.

Yeah it makes them a little harder to press but its not that big of a deal.

the case is great
Have to agree, got mine on saturday and it is great. The fit is perfect, it is very slim on the rear, and the extra lip on the borders makes it much easier to hold the nexus.

Shame about the shipping cost (at least to my country it's rather expensive (over twice the price of the cover itself)) so ordered a Mumbi cover. Unfortunately with an "X" on the back but the majority is matte and it grips reasonably well.
Finally able to remove the protective plastic from the tablet, after owning it for a week. Yes, I know, OCD, but I like my stuff to be neat :angel:
