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
- dcmugen88
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.
Just found this new case from their Korean website, anyone knows how to get one if you don't live in Korea?
http://www.zenuscase.co.kr/front/php/product.php?product_no=1138&main_cate_no=1&display_group=2
Just order it my friend from the international site www.zenuscase.net. With EMS it came in just one week.

Unfortunately the new one on the Korean site isn't on zenuscase.net yet, it's a different version. I too would like to know where to buy this new Block Folio on the Korean site, it's amazing and exactly what I was looking for.
Ok I seriously need to find this case,
http://www.zenuscase.co.kr/front/php/product.php?product_no=1138&main_cate_no=1&display_group=2
If there is anyone in S. Korea I can pay to ship this to the US for me I'd compensate.
Do you think this case will trickle down to the international site? Here is the old Masstige Block Folio on the international site, http://www.zenuscase.net/product-29997.html
You're actually getting synthetic leather for real leather price? Okay, not quite, I had to check the folio case again, $25-$30 calculating inflation. A bit surreal in favor of a design but I suppose coming from Korea is better than alike cases from China. Boy do those stink, literally!
For me, the new design's elastic band closure is a fail already. Short term expectancy fine, however long term is not suitable. I've had my eyes on a Zenus real leather classic diary case myself, and contacted a seller on ebay for a discount 'cause I'm getting one w/ a few other items on her e-store. She agreed and gave me -9% off (Zenus' site) everything shipped from Seoul.
So I'm pretty sure the case you want will show up on ebay eventually. Do you have the patience for it? You know a lot more are coming out when AT&T launches their release, right?
You could take this opportunity and befriend a Korean ahjumma at church or Korean supermarket, and probably get this even sooner. LOL! I'm thinking outloud to a scene what I will do if I'm in a rush for one of these puppies.
Have you found any other photo of the case? For example how it looks open, the back cover etc.
It's also on ebay

The only site with photos right now is the Korean Zenus site. Can't find any reviews of this new Block Folio case either. There is a youtube video which showcases how it opens and looks (located on Korean site). But as the user above me incorrectly posted, this Block Folio is NOT yet available through eBay.
I sent a customer service email to Zenus requesting additional information regarding the new Block Folio and it's availibility outside of Korea...I will share my response here when I receive it.
Received a reply from Zenus Customer Support. New Block Folio is active on International site via here: http://www.zenuscase.net/product-30006.html
Ordered mine just now. I think it's a bug for the color selection they have "Real Black.Fierce Red" listed as one color option. During the checkout of both the site and PayPal, I put under the notes that I prefer Real Black. I also replied to the customer service agent from Zenus and let him know of the web error to help ensure the color preference of my order.
You can dog the synthetic leather or the poly bottom casing, but its a fine case for $29. The folio I've been waiting for.
Btw, tried dealing with Noreve as a substitute...they suck. Worst customer support on the planet.
Ordered a brown one myself, looking forward for it to come soon
This looks good!
For use as a tablet and for use with a Bluetooth headset; but how the heck would you ever use it as a phone (say headphone dropped connection) with this case?
With case closed it still has a cutout for the speaker. Both mics are uninhibited when closed as well. Just got this. A Sennheiser VMX 200. And a Freedom Pro BT keyboard. Excited

Thanks! I just ordered one of these as well. I already have their two genuine leather cases (carbon and vintage) but they both have magnetic clasps and I am starting to wonder how they might affect this device. Looking forward to going magnet-free with this case.

Nice to know the case can be used closed.
I was thinking of upgrading to either the jawbone era or the vmx 200. How do you like it? Does the bluetooth 3.0 actually make any difference in real life use?

I will let you know Wednesday when the VMX 200 arrives. But from what I've read and seen you can expect incredibly fast power on to pair times as well as what should be improved battery life.
I am considering ordering a Zenus case from their website but live in Southern Europe. Has anyone ordered a case from Europe and knows how long it would take for it to arrive approximately?

VMX 200 work fine with Note? You like?
Wow that looks classy
This is a stupid question but here goes... does anyone know if you can flip the front of the case around the back? Seems like a given, but the only pictures show it either closed, open on a flat surface, or open used as a stand. None of them show the case folded fully around the back...

10/10. Pairs in half a second. Amazing call quality and volume. No callers have complained yet.
If you like watching movies, I think this case will be of perfect use to you. It comes in two colours - White , Black
Can you post a link to the case that you are referring to???

You are right but the reasons i posted are:
Amazon sell it cheaper
Amazon have it in stock while mobilefun has it as pre-order
Finally, Amazon ships worldwide while Mobilefun ships only to UK and EU
just bought one. cant believe they had them in stock, too bad its 30 day delivery lol.. ohwell, i bought it none the less
heres their website for full selection btw

I can't believe how many cases are made nowadays without protection for the full front of the phone!!!!
flip cover
i don't know what your planing on doing, but the flip cover works pretty great if you don't set it on a really slick surface
I really like this case probably helps I got it for free but you can use a coin E.G 50pence piece and stand it on there pretty cool feature.

Got two skins from http://www.fire-flex.co.uk/ and i have to say they are sweet, they cost only £8 and they are from the UK, delivery? It is free if you live in the UK, but if you live outside it has a little cost of £3.50 but people from India have reported exceptional delivery times compared to other companies!
What I like so much about these is that you can apply these skins to your original covers or your flip covers or even your Grip shells if you are bored of the plain colour! All in all a great company and i have also made a video so if you want to check them out and get to see how they look then just watch the video!
very nice
they're awesome
only one question, is it also easy to remove them?
thanks

Yep, I found removing them very easy, be slow and cautious and it won't even get a single scratch
great, thank you for sharing. is it possible to order yellow case?
Has anyone found the *perfect* wallet case yet? I have tried a few and the cutout for the back lock button just is the round circle and impossible to unlock the phone without digging and pointing your finger in. The closest I've found is the spigen wallet case
I was just wondering everyone's thoughts about this?
I'm after slim, 3 card slots and magnetic closure
I just ordered this one: http://a.co/8yFi3yO
$6.99 w/ code LUMION60
It only has a couple of reviews but it looks good, so I'll give it a shot.
Unfortunately I cant buy it, they dont ship to Australia

I'm not sure how much shipping will be but from the Amazon listing above just copied/pasted the pictures from the VRS site and added their logo. It does say they offer international shipping though.

Im close to buying it myself but it is a little expensive here
Nope
I can't recommend this case... Even at $6. It feels cheap, the PU leather looks cheap and fake. The inside is a plastic she'll that feels like it might scratch the phone and the shades of brown are awful. The stitching looks as though it may come off easily too. Definitely skip this one.
Thanks for that. I did see a few reviews saying they don't like the feel. That's good to know, I think I may stay away from wallet cases all together since the lock button is on the back and its not convenient with a wallet case on
I have decided to just purchase the spigen wallet case
