Amzer Luxe Argyle TPU case... (pictures)

perfect case for me, as im a big fan of the TPU cases in cases in general, had some for my Blackberry before i bought my Captivate.... the cutouts for the charger port/headphone jack/speaker/camera are all perfect, the case fits snug, volume and power buttons arent restricted at all. the case doesnt add much bulk, and the TPU material adds a sure grip on the device.
only dislike i have is the color, i ordered Blue and i thought itd be more of a royal blue, rather than the almost turquoise-ish color that i received. no bother though, ive already put in an order today for the smoke gray.

Looks great. Waiting for pictures of the smoke grey one when that comes in . Big fan of these type of cases but I'd prefer a simple black/dark grey without patterns.

Are the Power/Volume buttons covered or opened?

they're covered, but they're not restricted at all.... they press just as well as if they weren't covered.

How's the overall fit? Loose? There are reviews on vibrant amzer cases on amazon and they say they fit loose.

Thanks for the pictures. Looks like a great case except I can't get over the pattern... it makes me sad. Is it too much to ask for a plain black or plain clear tpu case without funky patterns?

yeah argyle is so 90s

I just ordered the lime green version of this

yeah, i wish there was a clear one, but i was waiting for a tpu case from the time i bought the phone so i went ahead and bought this one. hopefully someone comes with a clear one soon though.

What is tpu? Hard or soft, or both? Just wondering because i have a clear plastic case over the phantomskinz white chromatics carbon fiber skin, and lets just say its a tight squeeze. I just ordered a clear gel case from mr. hit and I don't think its gonna cooperate with my belt pouch very well. Something like this IMO would look great over the white chromatics skin. I know it sounds like overkill but I am a freak about protection as I resell all of my old phones to party for the new ones.

TPU is a medium between hard and soft.... its a plastic, a rather firm plastic, but it bends|flexes|gives, but always retains its elasticity - no matter how many times you might put it on and take it off of your phone, itll never get loose and worn, messing up its fit on the device. also does a decent job of shock absorption in the event of drops.

Cool thanks. Wondering now if it will fit well over the chromatics

i'd like one of those but in a dark purple or black

I love this case because it's different than the usual Body Glove case from AT&T that everybody has. I got the clear one and it is a little grippier than the Body Glove case but I like having that extra grip in the hand.

Great TPU Case for Captivate
I bought purple, green and hot pink for my Cappy. I love these. They fit the phone perfectly. No loseness. But easy enough to remove to switch out colors. I wasn't that wild about the argyle pattern either but this is the only TPU type case which is what I had and loved on my iPhone. TPU material is good for gripping but slides in and out of your pocket easily unlike silicone.

I bought the purple and it's a real nice shade.

Someone else posted pictures of the smoked grey on androidforums
http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/159237-amzer-case.html
Looks like I might have to pick this one up sometime, too.

Do you have a screen protector of any kind on your Captivate?
P.S: Also, what camera were those photos taken with!?

does anyone have it in red and can share pics?
i'd love to see pics of the other colours like purple or green, etc

OP please cut your nails, I almost lost my soda when I saw that, and there seems to be dirt under them as well, and maybe a small hair.

[REVIEW] Rock TPU Case, also protects camera lens!

Bought my case from here: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/330710065235...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3991wt_1185
They have different colors. I got the black one. Not bad for $12 with free shipping.
Took 14 days to arrive in Canada. Item actually shipped from Singapore and not Hong Kong (as it says on the ebay page)
Power button and volume rocker are easy to press. Although you wont feel any feedback from pressing these buttons. Typical of any TPU case.
As you can see, the TPU is textured for improved grip.
Rock Logo above the speaker cut out.
Protects the rear camera! No more worrying when laying your phone on any surface.
Front view with the phone. The TPU case extends all the way to the edge of the screen. You can put the phone face down on a table and it wouldnt touch the screen.
Rear view with the phone. You can still see the HTC logo and Beats Audio logo.
A closer look at the camera protection.
Cut outs are perfect for micro USB port, 3.5mm headphone jack and microphone. However, no cut out for the 5pin at the back.
Took the pic on a wrong angle. Cut out is actually perfect.
It comes with a free screen protector. Its not a perfect fit. The sides wont stick since the screen is curved.
Thanks for checking it out!

Been looking at these too. May treat myself. Thanks for the info

Very good Review and good pics!

Just ordered a white one, for £6.55 , should have plenty of grip with all those nobbles.
Thanks.
EDIT : No need for a cut out for the 5 pin connector, it`s just about certain you could not use you phone in the dock with the case on anyway.

Thanks for the review and all the pics, looks like a nice case for the price especially with the much needed protection for the camera lens.

Nice review, just what I was after. Cheers.

Ordered same few days ago, still waiting.

Good pictures mate and I agree its a fantastic case.
It is a touch harder then what I expected.
I purchased the clear, and on white from front and sides it hardly looks like a case, more like a halo or clear glow.
Took 9 days to arrive.

Thanks for the kind comments. I have another tpu case coming. I'll update my original post when it arrives.

You got the white one? I am planning to buy that - can you post some pics and the link where you got from.

Are you able to comment on the grippiness/rubberyness of this? I don't like rubbery feel to cases, I kind of want a hard case... but I also want something with better protection

Nice! Thanks !

They don't advertise it as clear, but as "white" on their eBay page, I assume white = clear?

Grip is good, definitely gives a rubbery feel. Same as any tpu case I guess.
You wont get any better protection. Hard cases do not cover the top and bottom parts of the phone. Some even dont have lens protection.

Correct. White = Clear

i just bought one too. hope i won't take so long to arrive in germany
took the black one for my grey phone

Just ordered a white one. Any case that doesn't protect the face isn't worth buying imo.
Thanks for the review

I just ordered the black for my white One X, since it's clear it gives it a nice smoky look.

Ooops thanked you by accident with too many forum threads open, lol!
Hope you post photos now

People with the case, wanted to ask if you think the top front edge could be lower, by the camera?
In the photo you can see that the bottom edge curves round the front of the body further than the top.
Does this affect the protection at all? Basically I have a similar cheaper case but the front is a bit too high and does not protect the edge very well. Thanks

Love naked device but need case....

Are there any options out there that wont cause me to loose the beauty of the device, I need to protect it but like the feel of the metal in my hands...

I just got this today - http://www.ebay.com/itm/330949139388, crystal clear. Doesn't really add that much bulk and the clear case definitely preserves the beauty of the phone.

Get a metal bumper. Phone still looks beautiful and it protects the sides from a fall.

supcase via amazon. cheap and looks good. not going to be an otterbox, but will prevent little dings and everyday scratches. my only gripe is volume buttons hard to press, but can be fixed a bit by cutting out button areas of case.

Slickwraps. It's the best solution. I have a black carbon fiber skin with an anti-glare screen protector and it works great.

I personally think the Devilcase Aluminum bumper is a pretty good alternative. I really liked the look of the One but I'm pretty clumsy and I have a tendency to drop my phones so I got the bumper. I've dropped it a few times but the phone has held up quite nicely without any signs of damage. Oh I also have a glass screen protector for the front though, just in case.

You're exactly right lol. It's Action Launcher Pro with DashClock widget.

is it just me or is this same post in all 5 HTC One Forums ?

Do the metal bumper block signal? the phone is already nearly all metal besides the side

This is what I've got on my phone at the moment. Quite minimalistic and good build quality.

Incipio Frequency
Before, i had Belkin Grip Sheer Matte /still have it/, and thought it's super thin TPU. Now the Incipio, it's much much thinner and feel of device is more "real".
Althought it's very very thin, it provides some protection for camera lens and everyday scratches. Volume buttons are maybe little stiff - but i only own this for one week, and they are becoming easier to press or I am getting used to it.
Highly recommended.

How much did it run you?

best advice is get a sleeve

It costed me 18,75 USD + 7,99 USD (International shipping to Slovakia). Extremly fast shipping.

This is a solution / idea, i came up with yesterday.
Your phone remains naked, while camera is slightly raised from table.
What do you think ?

The clear one might look better.

Sticker Boy Skin Review

(Update)
I have uploaded a video of the wood skin to You-Tube
http://youtu.be/nwD-jLsFuAk
StickerBoy has over 40 styles to choose from for the OnePlus One.
I received several different colors including one of the new styles called featherlight series it is about 25% thickness it's a high-quality vinyl with a bubble free adhesive. I also received a black carbon fiber and one of the World Series.
The carbon fiber has a three-dimensional carbon fiber pattern. To my surprise the wood vinyl has a three dimensional feel to it you can actually feel the woodgrain.
You can purchase the skins following configurations.
Combo 1 - Front, Back (sides attached to back) - Type 1 $24.95
Combo 2 - Front, Back, Sides - Type 2 $24.95
Combo 3 - Front, Back - Type 2 $18.95
Front only $9.95
Back only - Type 1 - (sides attached to back) $14.95
Back only - Type 2 $9.95
Sides only - can be used with Type 2 back or independently $9.95
Use discount code ( RT ) to receive 10% off your order at stickerboy . com
Installation is not complicated but I do recommend taking your time and using hairdryer after you've applied the skin will help the skin conform perfectly to the phone. I would say it took me probably about 15 minutes to apply the green skin.
This first photo shows the different style backs the one on the left has the sides attached and the one on the right is without the sides attached.

The following photo shows what all comes in the combo 2 as you can see you get two full sets of side skins with this combo.
The following photos are of the new Flat Army Green featherlight series.
The green skin has been installed for about a day and I have not had any problems with peeling or bubbling. I will continue to update this thread after a few more days.
My initial impressions of these skins are they are a great alternative to a slim case. They are not going to provide you with lots of drop protection but they will prevent you from getting scratches and scuffs on your brand-new phone.

And the most important part of this thread, http://www.stickerboy.net/pages/oneplus-one-skin-series is where you can get them.
I prefer dbrand but they advise putting skins over the sandstone.

I love their skins. I have it on my iPads and iPhones. I ordered it for the oneplus as well. I can't wait for it to arrive.

Update
I have uploaded a short video of the Wood skin to You-Tube.

These look nice, but as an anal person who loves perfection, I know I will hate that the back cover of our phones are not smooth (bumpy texture) and therefore, those little bumps underneath the sticker will annoy the hell out of me.

Seems these are not really meant to be used on the sandstone black. IMO looks like crap with thr texture beneath it.

" The term*anal retentive*(also*anally retentive), commonly abbreviated to*anal,[1]*is used to describe a person who pays such attention to detail that the obsession becomes an annoyance to others, potentially to the detriment of the anal-retentive person.

So quoting Wikipedia he can be anal without typos.

I have not had any problems installing the skins on the sandstone back. Stickerboy uses 3m vinyl that has great adhesion without leaving residue. You want to avoid low quality skins that can harm the sandstone.

Thanks man!

does anyone has cutouts for the back of the opo? i am planning to make one for myself at home. i am having trouble in making the one plus logo cut out.
it is going to be a dirt cheap project. will be made in less than a dollar! i will never pay 9$ for a back when i can make similar one for significantly less money

Nice! I ordered the dbrand Grip case with the Matrix skin. I will provide pictures when it arrives in a couple of days (overseas shipping).

How is the texture of the skin? Would you consider it slippery or does it have any grip to it?

Out of curiosity, are the skins easily removed (in case of an application error and/or to change them)? The instructions look pretty straight forward, but I'm a bit hesitant to pay 15 bucks for my clumsy fingers to destroy it at my first go
Also, will having a skin on make it difficult to use a case if I need to at some point?

Looks good that pastel black, got a bit of a sage feeling.
I'm thinking of buying the dragon black because it looks so good and is advertised as a very grippy skin.

Still waiting on Pastel Black to arrive.
For those who asked the standard finish skins probably feel quite similar to back of the Pixel. Medium grip. The skins with texture, particularly the small round pattern one (think it might be called Matrix) is definately grippier.

It's smooth, but slightly grippy if that makes sense. It's a matte texture.

I have used a few dbrand skins on my Nexus 6, Nexus 6P and Pixel 2 XL, Dragon having the most grip and matte black and yellow the least. The matrix was in between.
I you're looking for best grip go with the dragon.

My dbrand Grip case finally arrived, check out my review over here.

Is dbrand skin offer more grip than the xtremeskins?

I just got my Seafoam Green back skin. Loving it, let's see how it holds up. I also have the matte white in the envelope waiting.
