Completely agreed. I got the Impact Mesh myself. Very good case but relatively overpriced.

Yep if the price was like 20 man that would sell like crazy!

No pics of the case with a phone in it though, I tried it for only a short while before pulling it out in favour of the NeoHybrid.
Short review: It's a good case but overpriced. I really thought that by "mesh" the case had holes in the back, but no. There are only dimples on the inside of the case, the back is totally smooth (which I don't really like personally).
The 3DO band is thick around the case, making the device fatter (and theoretically improving the side impact resistance) but there isn't much of a lip around the front.
IMHO it's good if you want a simple see-through case with good side impact resistance - though like I said, it's relatively overpriced.

We appreciate anything you can accomplish, if you get ahold of a second capturing device (friends phone or webcam or whateveR) if you could take a few different angles of it and try to capture the lip representation best you can that would be awesome.
I'm a bit sad to hear about very little lip around the screen, I had high hopes for this case but it sounds like it might not be that great now. So the whole case is semi flexible like a TPU case then? but its on pretty firm on the phone?

Well, it IS a TPU case. It just has an extra 3D0 ring built into the edges.
I'll try to get somebody's phone to take some pics. But it really has a very limited lip - the NeoHybrid is miles better in this regard.

I did a review of the mesh case and I'm not sure if I can post links yet, but here it is:
http://www.androiddoes.net/accessories/tech21-impact-mesh-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/
Anyway, I had a demo of the technology at CTIA in New Orleans, and they put that stuff all over my hands like they did for Phil at Android Central. It's pretty neat stuff, the orange gel, called d3o, locks up when it is struck and protects your device. They even gave me a little bit of d3o in the press kit. Anyway, it's fun to play with.
Of all the cases that I have been sent to review so far, I like the impact mesh the best. Having said that, I didn't have to pay anything for it. However, I would pay the $60 for the case, ($50 for the case and $10 for shipping) just to know that my expensive phone was protected.

AHH dude thank you for posting this.. I've been lusting after one of these since i first saw it.. I bet it would look outstanding on my white phone! I wish they weren't so expesnive though I cant really afford it at this time.. But i'm so glad to read about it..
I've always wondered if the smalla mount of orange in there would actually make enough of a difference during a drop, i mean i've seen the demo video where they throw the phone etc etc.. but those can be staged and they may not be the exact same case.. I kind of wisht hey had a 'shock' or 'vibration' sensor that was shaped like the phone that they could put in there and drop with and without the case and show much difference it makes...
but again Thank you for posting this review! i envy ya with that cool case!

No problem, glad to help.

Sweet, in for one and I gave you a thanks!
a $60 case on sale for $20 simply amazing it says quality all over it
I posted about this the other day. Honestly, I love it. It does exactly what I need it to do. The only problems are software. Let's say I'm watching a full screen YouTube video with it in the typing layout, the screen will do a 180 causing me to turn the device around. That's all software.
If you guys want, I'll toss pictures up later to show you the solid build of the case. The only problem I can foresee is the front cover's magnets aren't that strong and the front cover might start to feel flimsy/lose it's shape after a while of using it to stand the device up.
I love it though and wouldn't trade it for anything. The velcro is extremely strong and holds the device in place. I wish the fit was a bit tighter, but it's still a good fit. It's also very thin in comparison to a lot of cases out there. I recommend this to a lot of people.

well that does say alot, if the fit is loose in the begining then it will only get looser with time, leather cases should be tight from the get go

I'm not saying it is incredibly loose. It's actually pretty tight. They just left a tiny bit of room on the sides so the case CAN move side to side, but only about .5 of an inch or so. I'll take pictures with my Droid X in a little bit. I promise you'd love this case if you got it.
Is there only one angle for this when in viewing position? I know some of the other cases have a total of 3 angles.
What ports are available when open/closed? Are you able to charge when closed? It's hard to tell from the pictures, but is there a screen cover over the screen? Or is it just naked when opened?

.5 of an inch is pretty big wiggle room. I was about to bite when I read this. Do you really mean half an inch of space on the sides? Anyone else have this case that can say?

I took pictures for you. There's only 2 viewing angles. The ports available when closed is just the 3.5 mm audio plug. With it open, all of them. You can change the volume when it's closed, too. There is absolutely no screen cover over the screen. Completely 100% naked.
When the pictures are uploaded, I'll link you to my Picasa album.
I'm going to edit this post shortly after I take some decent pictures. I promise you will love this product.
EDIT: Ok. They're uploading now. I DEFINITELY just guessed a number when I told you how loose it was. Wow. It's like less than 1/8th. You'll see in a second.

Awesome job on the pictures, im really happy with this case, i dont see why you would need anything other, it does everything and you get access to everything when open
$20 well spent
Looks pretty good.
It looks identical to the KeviKev I bought for 45. (now on sale for 35) Maybe the cutouts on the back are slightly different.
for $20, I might just buy a backup.
I would have liked access to the charging port while it was closed though.
i ordered the kevikev carbon fiber case, 10% off plus another 10% off with coupon code (kevikevdottcom) at www.kevikev.com
This case is perfect for the xoom... fits snug and doesn't cover up any of the screen. The angle that the case goes into for viewing is perfect.
I was considering buying the cases that were well over $50 but for $20 I got everything I was looking for in a case and more!
Yes, It's a really nice case, and keeps Xoom from falling out!
Mine should be here in the next day or so. Thanks for the heads up on this.

Belkin Slim Folio Stand - GT-P7510

I was @ local Best buy just to see what has been getting on stock and surprisingly enough I found this case and another Belkin which was leather but thicker.
I thought I should share some photos in case anyone is interested.
Price $49.99 before tax.
Material and fabrication is not what exactly I am looking for, but you don't know until you get it.
Here are some photos for you guys...

I have the same case. It's okay. No real issues. Just didn't want to leave my toy bare with no protection. Might switch it out sometime in the future.

I hope best buy starts selling the Samsung branded case that we all have seen in video and photos. It should be better that this one. I will switch as soon as I find a better case.

I thought I mentioned or maybe not. There were both there but leather was kind of thicker since it has more room. It looks nice and price is higher...
What I don't like about this Belkin case is that there is no magnet or velcro to keep it closed.

I really second that. It becomes very flimsy when you use it for a while. $50 for this case? I would rather buy two of the leather ones on eBay.

It has an elastic strap on the inside of the front cover that you put around the back of the device to keep it secure. So yes, it does have something that keeps it closed!

correct, but that is very old-school.
All,
I reviewed both Cases from belkin. I agree with the comments on the board. But there isnt much out there. Check out my review on the more expensive case from belkin. Its not worth the money. Doesnt seem to fit well I looked at two cases from best buy both had the same issues. And it adds too much bulk to the device. I bought a thin device and want a case that compliments it. Not one that adds significant thickness

Just Got This Case.

EDIT; I am placing all of the pics I've posted in this thread below and removing them from later posts. This needed cleaned up plus it should make it easier for people to get a better idea of how they look when you get more than one and trade out the parts. More colors and pictures in the next few days...
I just got one of these and so far I have to say that I am impressed. The plugs that fit the earphone jack and the hdmi/micro usb ports fit remarkably well. I think that I would like it more if the colored plastic piece were a little less slippery. But it is the 'rubberized' plastic so it isn't that bad.
Another EDIT; After owning this for a few months I have to say that the plastic hasn't turned out to be that slippery at all. Just about right for staying on the dash (ish) and getting it in and out of my pocket. And I've decided it is more of a 9/10 to me. And for 10 to 12 bucks shipped, what's not to like.

Awesome, thanks for the review. I was just looking at this case maybe like 2 days ago.
Could you answer a couple of questions? -
- how good is it in protecting the phone if i drop it for example?
- how much thicker does it make the phone look?
- is it possible that the part of the case which "clips on" on the front of the phone can leave scratches?
- does it come with a screen protector?
THANKS!

Edit; Pics moved to original post.
- how good is it in protecting the phone if i drop it for example?
Not sure. Haven't dropped it yet. But as you can see it is a two piece case.
The corners are doubled up with both the plastic and silicone. So I expect the case to take the hit, and not the phone.
- how much thicker does it make the phone look?
Not much.
- is it possible that the part of the case which "clips on" on the front of the phone can leave scratches?
The silicone is between the outer case and the phone, so not a problem.
- does it come with a screen protector?
Nope.
On a side note. I am ordering another one, maybe two. I like the fact that the pieces can be mixed and matched.
Also, It is a little more difficult to use with the docks because of the flap, but not impossible.
Hope that helps.
looks like a good case and there are many cool colors combinations...
i might take one of these.
thanks!
Great review, thanks a lot. And for 2 bucks I will definitely have to try it.
Interesting. Does the silicone case feel good without the hard part?

I removed the hard part and messed with it a little. I guess it feels ok. Without the molded plastic the silicon part is pretty loose. The sides are extra loose. The ends seem ok at best. I don't think that it would just fall off or anything while holding it. But going in and out of a pocket might be a drag.
thanks I think I will buy one on amazon, price seems more interesting

Yeah, the price looks good there too. I don't have Amazon Prime so the shipping would add 3 bucks to the total. Makes it around a dollar more than the ebay price for me. Another example of why I really need to kick Netflix and get Prime...
only certain items get "prime" status, on the case i would have to pay the 3 dollars even though i have prime
just depends on the seller on amazon
I've got this case since 4days.
Good quality/price, the silicone alone feet not so good but with the hard part it's ok.
I have this case as well--white under with black gray outside--and love it. I've had it bout 2 weeks now and it's holding up quite nicely. =)

You'll like it unless you are docking the phone constantly. It will dock, just not very well. I don't dock mine much so it isn't an issue. I ended up getting the black/red and the red/black cases. Now I can mix and match, and have a totally red or black case or leave them as they are. I really dig it all red or all black tho.
so this case can be use with the HD dock too?

Well sort of... You have to hold the rubber thingy that covers the mini usb and hdmi sockets. And once you get it in the dock the fit isn't that great. Loose and wobbly, but functional. Other than that it's a great case.
I do love this case alot i have the all black one
I got an outterbox... was actually disappointed in it. I dropped my phone from about 5 feet, bobbled it till it dropped, and it ended up landing on the top side. I picked it up and saw no physical damage, but the digitizer was not responding toward the top. The notification still works, but just underneath it to about a half inch below all the way across doesn't work. Screw you outterbox!

Cool case if you didn't have Moto Maker with AT&T!!!
..... too soon? HAHA! I'm sorry, that was uncalled for. I am thoroughly enjoying my X in black, turquoise back, and yellow accents! I put on a zagg just to sport it out

Would love to see a review of this. Im leaning toward the clear/black
Just got my Qmadix case in since I loved the one I had on my RAZR M, but am definitely curious to see reviews of this when you guys get yours in.

They still haven't been delivered yet. They didn't ship until two days ago and I'm pretty sure they are coming from overseas so it might be a bit. I'll definitely post my impressions once I have them in hand.

I ordered this case also. I already have the Griffin reveal now so I'm not sure how this case will compare.
Can anyone clarify if the back of this case is ridged? specifically where the back middle transitions to that alternate black color before it turns into the bezel. I have a feeling that it's just a glossy border, but the pictures don't dhow enough detail to tell.

This case is the closest I think i'll be able to get to an Urban Armor Gear case. Here's to hoping it's a quality case.
The OtterBox for this phone is amazing I will be posting the pics later:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Just got my cases in finally, after 3 weeks. Much better quality than I was expecting, and definitely cool looking. A couple complaints though. One is that it's a major PITA to put on and take off. I hate feeling like I'm going to break my phone every time I take the case off (I'm looking at you, Poetic Atmosphere!). My other complaint, and this is a big one, is that it has some seriously wicked edges that make the phone a pretty uncomfortable to hold. For a phone that feels so nice in the hand, it's a shame to have a case on it that essentially kills that comfort altogether. I also have the Griffin Reveal which is a very similar design- not as cool looking as the Supcase but much more comfortable to hold. It's edges are a lot smoother and the material around the sides of the phone is a lot softer. The reveal is *almost* just as comfortable to hold as the naked phone, as it follows the contours of the phone very closely. The Supcase on the other hand focuses more on styling at the cost of those comfortable contours. If you want a case like this, ie. soft bumper around edges but clear plastic back, I'd recommend the Reveal over the Supcase. My $.02.
Edit: The Supcase has the dimple whereas the Reveal does not. I know somebody is bound to ask that question.

I ordered it when it was on preorder which is why it took so long. If you ordered it from the seller on Amazon you'll probably have it in under a week.

Yep, that's how they shipped it to me. I'm pretty sure it ships out of Memphis, Tenn. DHL handles the interstate travels and then transfers it to USPS for the final delivery. No clue why they use DHL, they must have a contract/agreement with them. Some of the colors are available through Prime from the same seller so it pretty much has to be within the US.
I got the Supcase. It took a while to get but it's a nice case. I mostly use it for work since it's so sturdy. I also like the Griffen Reveal better, it fits well and is not as bulky. The Reveal has a completly clear back were as this Supcase is kind of a cloudy back.
Does anyone know if where the clear plastic meets the glossy is flat? If somebody had a picture at a good angle would be awesome!

Bear Motion SAND Nexus 5

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share with you guys this sweet new case I just got for my new Nexus 5. Its from Bear Motion, and it is a very thin case. It has a really unique texture, which feels like sand/ sandpaper only not as rough as you think. the case has a really small lip on the front so you can place your phone face down without having your screen touch. I'm really loving it. it feels really good in the hand because it doesn't add that much bulk to your phone. I searched far and wide for a case like this. I highly recommend it. best of all i got it for like 5$ on amazon.
Yes, these cases are great.

I got one too. I also got the bear motion non-sand version as well. Their nice, but do not give near as much grip as the ringke rearth slim does. Maybe I haven't used them long enough to let hand oils soak in? The sand version feels wild. Nothing like actual sand. More like very felt, very short cut felt. I like having many different cases to try, but so far the Ringke slim is the best imo. Thanks for sharing

Is the rough texture on the interior of the case too? This case sounds interesting, very grippy, but I would be afraid it would damage the finish of the phone.
Yeah I didn't order the bear motion one because they didn't have it in black. I do really like the quicksand style, so I ordered a generic quicksand case off ebay in black, and like 3 other types of hardcases. The quicksand is pretty much the exact same thing as the Poetic and Bear, minus the branding. Probably all made in the same factory anyway. Can't go wrong with 4 cases for like less than 10 bucks shipped! :laugh: Only thing is it takes a month to get here.
Would be interesting to compare the Bear Motion branded one with the non branded ebay ones.

Is actually very slippery for me. I was surprised and thought it would be grippy too

Yet another hard case that leaves the top and bottom edges exposed. They seem to be all the rage these days.

Fair point I suppose. I guess that's why I stick with TPU.

I did a review of a bunch of generic ebay cases here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577289. It also included the generic version of the Bear Motion/Poetic Quicksand cases. I'm pretty sure like I mentioned earlier that they're the exact same cases, from the same factories, without the company branding on it.
$0.99 SHIPPED!!!

*Just noticed how dusty my desk is...
Just got a green one today for my white Nexus and gotta say I'm loving it so far! It looks and feels great. I just hoping it provides okay protection... Yesterday I dropped my phone for the first time and my Diztronic case proved to have GREAT drop protection (no damage from a waist high fall, screen first!). Obviously the Bear Motion obviously isn't meant to protect from drops but hopefully it will be better than nothing. Anyways, sweet case and definitely a favorite out of all (5) of my cases
If someone can prove that the ebay cases are the same, minus the branding, I'll definitely pic up some more colors!

Yeah I'm not going to take you up on that offer. No reason for me to spend more (when I spent the best $0.99 on a case ever haha), just to find out if a case with a Bear Motion stamp is the same as my generic one! I don't think a 20x price increase (original price) + shipping is worth it for me to test 10 letters of white ink.
Here's some easy "evidence."
Exhibit A, Colors:
Generic ebay quicksand:
Bear Motion from Amazon:

Hmmm, interesting haha. Exact same color choices. Even down to the watermelon pink orange that they say is orange. I ended up getting that "orange" as well from ebay, thinking the color was.... well orange.
Exhibit B, Display Location:
Generic ebay quicksand:
Bear Motion from Amazon:

Hmmm, interesting again! Same wood type/wood grain used as a backdrop for the case.
You know, some crazy person might even come to some weird conclusion that it's almost as if they were the exact same case! Possibly, with pictures taken from the same factory location, one before stamping, and another afterward! This is tough detective work though, I don't think anyone will ever truly know the answer to this mystery! :highfive:
