Case-Mate Pop! Perfect Fit

I thought I'd share this. The Case-Mate Pop! is a perfect fit. Phone is snug and feels really good to the touch. It's a little steep price-wise but cheaper if you break your phone.
UPDATE: Just 3 days later.... prolly gonna wait another week or so before returning.

Nice case. No digging the orange peel effect of the screen protector.

i liked mine the first week i got it too, now the silicon is starting to look all messed up.

File a RMA request, they will let you return it for a refund (I did). Same issue as you, the rubber on it started looking pretty ratty, and for the price, it definitely shouldn't have. Got hairline cracks all around the corners, and the damn power button press-problem as well.
Also, there's another thread about this case here...

Yeah I need to, the problem is that I actually like the case tho. By far the best looking out right now.

I really love the pink one.

yup! for $7 with unlimited replacement.... I could careless about the "orange peel" effect....

Everytime someone posts a pic of this stupid case I have to fight the impulse demons.

If I had taken a picture of what the rubber around the front of the phone looks like after a few weeks, you'd not have to anymore..
I liked the look of the case, but I'm not spending 45 bucks on a case that looks like crap after a few weeks, what would it look like after a few months??

i want this so bad but that flaw u guys are talking about is keeping me from gettin one

Looks nice and fits snuggly on the phone. I just wish they used a better quality rubber. Posted an a couple pictures in post 1

There were no questions asked when I asked for an rma. I shipped it to them, and they received it on the same day they released the Barely There. I asked if I could get one of those in place of a refund, but haven't heard back yet...

here are some ****ty pictures of mine

My flaws were in the EXACT same places, even the big chunk that came out at the volume buttons. It's got to be something in the molding process, or it wouldn't have that big flaw there at the volume button. I noticed that on the 2nd day after I got it, and it just got worse as time went on.
Just got notification that they are sending me the barely there in place of a refund (at my request). Hopefully it'll fit the bill..

I did a review. I have had it for a few days now and I am beginning to see the rubber slide off.

Ambitronic.com and TPU Fusion review

So I got my TPU fusion case from ambitronic.com today and let me say, the case is beautiful. Consider the amazing price and it's an unbeatable deal. With a 10% coupon code I found and adding a screen protector it was just under $7.00 shipped. I ordered it in the evening hours, it shipped the next day, and arrived 3 days later from California to Missouri, not bad at all. Unfortunately the screen protector I ordered didn't include the soft card and one of the stickers on the screen protector got stuck to it and left behind residue. Without the soft card I was unable to install it correctly and ended up tossing it in the trash, but at .95 cents I can't really complain, but wish I could have used it.

i have one too & it's a good case for the price...lame that it doesn't come with the card, good to know. for 95 cents, you really can't complain. you can always use a credit card or driver's license... (i'm in NY & they're pretty flexible...), for future reference.

Ordering one online now, hope that it's as good as everyone says it is!

I tried a debit card but it didn't really make a difference with the adhesive stuck on it, cause by the time I got that off, it was pretty much useless. The site says it comes with a soft card, so I assume most of them do, I just didn't have one in my package. Still loving the case tho. To hit the power button takes a little getting use to as you have to press it a little harder than normal with the case on, but it doesn't bug me that much after a couple days use.

i need to get one

give the case some time to wear in, about a week or so. the buttons will get softer to press over time. Ive had my case for about 6 months now and its perfect

Good to know about the buttons getting softer. Just got an email from Ambitronic this morning, I sent a link to this thread to them, they apologized for taking a few days to get back to me, blaming the rush of Touchpad accessories, which I completely understand, and offered to either refund the .95 or send me another screen protector, so the only down side I had they are taking care of. Excellent customer service. Highly recommend anyone to order from them, I know I will in the future.

Yes, their customer service is pretty stellar. I've never had a problem with them before.

I just ordered tons of stuff from them. Great prices great stock. Live the fusion cases,
Just a funny factor. The fusion case does not really work work the chargers they sell.. Had to trim the case for the chargers to fit lmao.. That's the only negative thing I've found so far...

This case is hands down the best bang for your buck case I have ever bought for any of my phones. I got it for about $5 on eBay, and its quality and performance is on par with $30 cases I've bought in the past. As for screen protectors, I've always bought from an eBay seller, XtremeGUARD. If anyone's interested, here's a link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/XtremeGUARD-HTC-My-Touch-4G-Premium-Screen-Protector-/230605503209?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35b128bae9
Best screen protector I've ever used. Easy to put on, crystal clear, and extremely durable. It uses a soap and water mix as an adhesive, so it's nearly impossible to put it on incorrectly.

this case is pretty awesome gotta say. when i saw it i was like "man i want this case" xD, looked so good. But yeah the only charger that really fits in is the one i got when i first had the phone, can't use any others really because they'll fit just enough to plug in but its' easy to dislodge the charger from the plug, but oh well not that big a deal to me
that screen protecter i might look into cuz i kinda messed up with the one i have now, it's placed on correctly now, but i didn't get it that great the first time so it's kinda dusty but you barely notice it unless the screen's off.

It's practically impossible to mess up the XtremeGuard protector. Since you cover the protector in the soap/water mix, it slides around on the surface of the screen, making it easy to align perfectly or redo if some dust gets on the screen. Once you're satisfied, just let it sit a little before you squeegee out the water bubbles, then let it sit and dry into place.

They made everything right with me, ordered a couple other things too for my touchpad and everything I've gotten from them is awesome quality for the price

XO skins -- borked up my order... any one experience this?

So I had a Zagg screen protector - and it was just TOO rubbery and orange peel-ish.
Ordered a XO skin - was super excited and got it today. However they shipped me the TOTALLY wrong cover. I just ordered the screen part itself. What I got looks like something that would go to a blackbeery or some sort of flip phone (it has two seperate small pieces)
Anyone else ever go thru this? I emailed the site (waiting on a reply) but I'm slightly disappointed.
The quality of the screen protector itself looks awesome and I can't wait to get the right piece but how do you send someone a flip phone piece when you order a honking huge galaxy nexus protector?

Their customer support is pretty good. I had them send me a replacement screen protector for free... I'm sure they'll resolve your issue really quickly.

I've read about this happening a few times. Don't worry, it is frustrating but the customer support is great and they will ship out the correct protector to you.. hopefully

I've heard of this happening a few times as well. It hasn't happened to me yet though. lol. (knock on wood). As stated though, their customer service is phenomenal! If you tell them what happened they'll sort it out right away.

Thanks for the reassurances guys
I was just worried I might get some sneaky stuff from them like "oh sorry about that, send the incorrect one back to us and as soon as we get it we will ship out the correct one" which at this point it with all the back and forth it would be a month from the time I ordered to the time I get the correct one.

exactly same thing that happened to me!!! I ordered on thurs, got it yesterday and it was a protector for iPad...I contacted them on the site yesterday and still waiting for reply

Don't worry, their customer service is really good. They messed up my order too, it takes them 2 days sometimes to respond but they will send you another one free and whatever one you have you just keep. They've replaced mine when I complained about a small dent on mine no questions asked.

Please excuse our mistake, I will get you the correct skin sent out today.
Thank you and have a great day.

Looks like I dont have to return the iPad one! They indeed have good reputation for customer service!

received my XO skin today. they sent me a case fit when I ordered an edge to edge. Contacted them through email and awaiting a response.
They as a company must be taking a pretty large loss with all these miss shipments. Would be prudent for them to get their shipping department in order.
I applied the skin and it looked flawless after 2 hours. I spent 15 minutes blow drying it, alternating from warm to cold air on low setting. the warm air sped up the smoothing out process for me. Anyway, it looks good, but I didn't want a case fit as I use a Ringke case and it doesn't overlap the screen.

They didn't mess up my order. It happens though. I've heard nothing but great things about their customer service. just a longer wait. :/

Just an update. received an email just now stating that they will be sending me out a replacement skin plus an extra skin for my troubles, but they said they wouldn't be sending a squeegee or solution which I have plenty of. quick response and excellent customer service. They still need to work on their shipping department.

Well, it happens. They shipped me the wrong screen protector TWICE, one for an iPhone (*shudder*) and one for the Motorola RAZR before finally shipping me the correct one.

Do any of you have the screen with rainbow strips in one half of it? The one for my nexus is like this. Should I contact CS and request a new one?

they will send you a new one. Just remember if you peel back the screen protector to adjust it after sqeegeeing, thats when you may have problems with rainbow effects, or if you have any oil at all on the screen before applying, it will be distributed in the solution during application and cause a rainbow effect. I wish they would say these things in there instructions.
i used soap and water to clean my screen with a soft rag. then I paper toweled it and then used an air duster to remove the paper towel particles. Probably didnt need to go to those extremes, but im anal about how my screen looks, and my screen looks flawless.
As others have said, steam up your bathroom and apply in there if you have problems with dust particles.

They are great. My first sp peeled up and they sent a new one. Then I got a case and ordered a case fit. They shipped a standard fit sp. I emailed them and 5 days later had the right sp. No questions asked, great service.

I wonder if they're blowing it out because of the curved screen and they fubar'd their first attempt at making a screen protector.

Me too, they did the 99 cent thing for the HTC One X early on and people gobbled them up. Overwhelming majority of reviews were negative and some concluded that the batch was defective which explained the price slash.

Interesting. Well I guess there's 3-4 of us who will know for sure. I'd be happy to come back in here and let yall know if it's a screw up when mine comes in the mail.

I have this screen protector in my s3 and it sticks pretty well to the screen. My only complain is the orange peel effect

I ordered one of these. Hopefully the orange peel isn't too bad. I currently have the realook one installed but when I put my cruzerlite case on the edges start to come up.

I've always wondered if these types of protectors provide more protection than the hard/dry protectors

Seems like you guys maybe right. I just got mine in today and the film was kind of stuck to the plastic bag it was in which resulted in some weird bubble imprints on the top of the screen protector. I'll try to get a picture up tomorrow. I'm letting it sit overnight to see if the weird markings on it come out.

I just applied mine last night and after a nights dry, it seems a bit on the tacky side. Its not as smooth as I would like, kinda hard to swipe. But I will give this a day or 2 more to fully dry and judge from there.

They don't provide more or less, they seem to be on par.
The real differences are how long they last. Skimomi type repair themselves, can take hits that would usually damage the dry hard type, doesn't usually peel off if applied correctly. That's why most have a lifetime warranty. And the reason they come singular or in a two pack (mostly if you mess up installation, you have that spare), but not 3-5 packs, because you're gonna have to put another one on in a few weeks...
This has been my experience..

It seems such a sin to put something so bulky on a phone that's been engineered to be light, thin and tough. I'll probably just opt for something that keeps the camera window and screen off of surfaces when laid on their respective sides.

i always run a defender once they're available, so im used to them. i even liked the one on the note 7 as well. if i didnt have a bulkier case i'd probably trash a phone within a few weeks.

This one seems to fit pretty tight with no gap and no extract tapping sound whenever you tap the screen. I'm having absolutely no issue with this 1

Yeah, mines fits crazy snug and once it gets some hand oil on it glides just as good as the glass.

I picked up the defender yesterday. I was initially impressed, they have really improved the built in screen protector from what I remember. The outer shell is also improved, it doesn't seem as "rubbery" as before...
I think I am going to return it though. It seems just too large and it feels slightly more difficult to unlock with the fingerprint reader.
I will likely just go with the Ole' Bessy, shell holster case and a good screen protector.

Great pictures of both of the phones, specifically the LG v20.
I still miss my note 7, **** we were all spoiled by it haha.
Anywho, I got the LG V20 and have been going through cases left and right trying to decide which one to put on. I stopped on the VRS design with kick stand. However, it is kinda slippery and I do not like that. Additionally, I am still trying to find a screen protector (preferably tempered glass one), but the ones I installed do not adhere to the very bottom and very top. I do not know why, but probably due to slight curvature of the screen.
I have the Poetic Case with the built in screen protector, and it really reminds me of the otter box but like 3 times cheaper . However, the other box seems nicer, but just a bit bigger.
I noticed the screen proctor, has a minor gap when touching the screen. Does the otterbox have that gap as well or it fits almost as nicely as a regular screen protector would?
I have installed a wet application screen protector yesterday, it adhered nicely but I see minor bubbles a little below the center of the screen which is annoying. I am not sure if they will go away or not.
