Diztronic TPU case - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Can anyone recommend this case? I've been searching like mad for the perfect case to fit my requirements, and been having a hard time. I need a case:
Protects phone
Easily removable
Able to slip into/ carry in a side
Leather holster
Must have good grip!
I need good grip as I'm a mechanic
and dirty/greasy hands makes for
more potential dropping. The diztronic case appears to fit my needs, but would appreciate some feedback! Thanks!

I have the diztronic tpu case and i love it. It fits better than any other case i've used for this phone. Slips in and out easily. Doesn't add much to the thickness of the phone. Only recommendation - get it in black. I had it in clear and in smoke, both yellowed in a matter of weeks. I have a black one now and it is awesome! They're pretty cheap too, I got mine on amazon. Think it was like 10 bucks or something...

Sounds good..What about fitting into a side belt holster? Will the case meterial catch too much? I'd like to avoid having to fight getting the phone in and out. Thanks man! For 10 bucks I should prob just try it out lol..

The case doesn't add much thickness to the phone at all. You can get the case in matte back finish or glossy back finish. I've always gotten the matte finish, because it looks nice, slides easily, but still provides excellent grip. I've read reviews that the glossy finishes attract dust, and I would imagine the glossy finish one would get caught more easily in your belt holster. I would definitely recommend the matte back black case. I doubt you will be disappointed.
I can't post links because i'm still "new member" (i don't really post a lot), but if you search amazon for B005YEFM8M then you will see the case I am talking about. Currently going for $9.90.

Thanks for the info! I went ahead and ordered the matte black case. I'll come back here and review after I get it.

I have the clear one, and I like it but it has damaged my phone's frame. I think its because it doesn't fit 100% perfectly so dust accumulated in between the frame and the case, thus scratching the frame.
So just make sure you clean it often.

Yea, same thing happened to mine, but as long as you keep a case on it, you can't even tell.

Got the case today and here are my thoughts: Fit and finish is good. My biggest gripe is the sides. Its fairly easy to move the sides away from the phone, and this is especially noticed when pulling the phone out of the side holster. Not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of.
I was anticipating a bit more grip, but its not bad. For protection, I think it should do the job, although dropping the phone from chest height to concrete is something that concerns me. Hopefully I won't have to find out lol. I need a larger side holster as its a bit too tight, and retrieving the phone should be easier. I'll stick with this case for now, but still open to other options.
I still feel like I need just a tiny bit more bulk and grip, to be perfect.

be sure to periodically clean dust from its borders because I think it scuffs the phone otherwise

Great case.

Just got this in the mail. It covers all of my buttons (volume rocker, and power) and leaves everything lined up perfectly for the plugs. It fits like a glove, and it has a perfect silicone feel to it. I paid 7.95, and the shipping was very fast. From CA to MI, I got it in 4 days with no extra shipping charges.

I would strongly recommend this case because it helps conserve your hardware buttons.
EDIT: I just realized the sale has ended, and I am sure people sell the same exact case. Just look around Ebay and Amazon.
Great alternative to the TPU cases everyone is talking about.

Yea I got one from ebay as well for..$5.95 I believe. It's not the best case but it fits like a glove and is raised above the screen and camera to prevent you from setting it down straight on them. It adds a little bit of width but truthfully this is just an In-between until the casemate barely there, and it's a cheap way to protect your phone until then!

the description says Anti Dust Silicone Material, do you get any lint/dust on the case? My last silicone case for the Evo4G is a dust magnet, it pretty much picks up all the pocket lint I've in my jeans.
thanks
Silicone can stretch, tear and become loose over time.
TPU does none of those and will always return to the original shape.

I honestly haven't had any problems, and I have had it in my pocket almost the entire day. No stretching, loose ends, I can't really verify it is anti-dust, because I have had the phone for a day lol. It feels great.

How would you know? You don't have the case?
I couldn't rip this case, unless I was literally trying to. And the case makes a "lip" over the screen, in case you want to set it on the table screen first. As far as stretching goes, I paid 8 dollars for an awesome case. If I need to replace it (2 years would be my guess), I will do so.
The great thing about Silicone, is that it looks clean and never gets scratches, looks cheap, and fits great on the phones.
Take my word for it or pay 24.99 at the Sprint store lol. The case didn't even cover the entire outside of my phone, and I broke the kickstands on it almost immediately. Complete garbage.

Not a very good case... long term
In my experience, silicone cases are a temporary fix at best. I have bought several and always end up replacing them within a few weeks. But for the price, it's probably not a bad temp case until you find the best one for your needs. I ordered a TPU case for $9 and hope to get it today as I just got my phone from letstalk yesterday.

love mine feels like a rearth. dont think it will stretch feels great in the pocket. doesnt stick like others i have had with other phones. but feels great in the hand im in hot weather so i have sweaty hands from time to time. so the tpu get kinds slippery. this gel i like a lot. recommend def till you find what you like a hard case. or like me a case with a kickstand. and i found it for like 5 dollars on ebay or amazon.
remember now its from the accessory geeks on ebay.

I seriously have to vent about the design of this phone. UGH!

What in the hell was Samsung thinking when they made this thing so damn shiny and smooth? I drop it on a daily basis.
I tried a silicone case from eBay, the fit was GREAT but the things like a dang lint roller. EVERYTHING sticks to it. I pick up my phone and it's covered with hair and grit, dirt, sand, you name it.
I actually have to wash my silicone case off. I actually got sick of how much stuff it picks up, I stopped using it.
I ordered a Case-Mate case last week, hoping that works out better. Hopefully it shows up tomorrow before I just return it for an iPhone 4S, ugh, it's frustrating the hell out of me.
blame the phone on your parkinson's disease. makes sense.
Order a TPU case. Nothing is better. They have them on Amazon. Matte black looks amazing with this phone. The owner of TPU posts on XDA and is always listening to our feedback.
Hmm... haven't dropped the phone yet.
Try TPU next time, its amazing.
Haven't dropped mine yet. Maybe you should try sticky tape on your hands
How does a TPU case differ from a Silicone case as far as stuff sticking to it? I've never really had much luck with these rubber cases from that stand point. Stuff always sticks to them like crazy.
What is a TPU case made from? I guess if the Case-Mate doesn't work out, I can try that next.
That said, I think I actually looked at the TPU cases when first looking for a case. TPU Cases was sold out every time I looked so I ended up ordering this silicone rubber piece of crap I got from eBay.

Could be different for someone else, but I've had mine for 2 weeks and I have noticed some extra scuff marks. Since the upper rim of the case where the phone enters is made of a slightly harder TPU material, constantly removing the phone from the case will cause this to happen. I do this to clean out any dust particles that may get through. If it wasn't for the case looking so good on the phone, I probably would've switched it out for that reason.
get a TPU case, not going to prevent drops but just trust sammy's build quality. Mine has already taken some spills and already came out ahead
How do you drop your phone so often that you blame the phone's design?
I did accidentally throw my phone, but that's because I forgot it was in my hand, lol.
Go with the TPU case. I picked up the matte black one off of amazon myself as a temp solution until I splurged on a casemate or something more "heavy duty" and otterbox like.
I actually decided to just rock the TPU case.. it's niiiiice.
I also have a vid review up on amazon for it as well.

Trident Aegis Case - Pics and Brief Comments

Received my Trident Aegis case today. Went with the bright green (which I so far prefer to the darker green which they previously used, I had a Cyclops case in this color on my HTC Glacier.)
One gripe is, so far, the open space surrounding the camera on the back of the case. This is an odd decision. Not a big deal to me, though; but still worth mentioning.
The biggest gripe, though, is that the phone is not at all easy to actually get into the case. I'm not saying that it doesn't fit. The problem is that you first place the phone into the colored, gel surrounding piece. You then have to fit these piece (and its protruding buttons) into the very hard and rigid black/grey plastic piece. It's kind of hard to do this since the gel-covered buttons have to fit into the holes on the device, and I ended up hitting the power button over and over again, and botting into recovery because one of the volume rockers was held down.
My Cyclops case, for the Glacier, was designed in the opposite way. The phone first fit into two hard pieces (a front and back piece, basically), and then a black rubber surrounding piece went around the plastic itself. This was really easy to take the phone out of and place it back within.
I know people will ask...I'd say the phone doesn't add too much in the way of size to the already very large S-II, but the only comparison I have is the D30. I do not have the Incipio or Seideio cases to compare.
My aegis case for my vibrant was the same. Its how they all are in terms of getting it on. Waiting for mine to get for the sgs2
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
my main concern is how well it protects but a close second on how hard it is to get out of the pocket. if im going to spend to cash to get something that would work well i want it to be what i want. any opinions?
So overall how do you feel about the case?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I'd say pocket fitment is mostly contingent upon the pocket. I have been putting the SII + Trident case in the front pocket of shirts and it only sticks out a small bit. It fits in my jeans pockets, but I wear my jeans a bit baggy. It won't fit in the pockets of my dressier slacks. So, I find it easy to get out of most pockets. My Glacier + Trident was actually probably a bit more difficult due to the ribbed silicone surround. The case for the S II doesn't have much to snag on. Keep in mind though, that the Glacier + Case was a lot thicker, front screen to back battery cover, than the S II is. This definitely had something to do with it as well.
Overall I am pleased with the case. I like the color options, shape, and structural design of the case. While I did find the previous "Cyclops" style case that I had for my Glacier to be easier to take off and on, this new case seems, at least at first glance, to provide equal or better protection while also being easier to fit in pockets.
One footnote: I'm using this case along with a Zagg wet application invisible shield and I'm not having any issues with the corners peeling.
What did you pay? Looks sick.

The screen protector does look cheap. I'm not using it so I didn't really pay much attention to it. The hard case does not wrap around the bottom, so it is just the gel casing. But I haven't had any issues with the case coming off when putting the phone in my pocket
I really wish otter would make a defender case for this phone! I loved it on my iPhone

I paid $22 with free shipping using the promo code holiday2011.
And yes, I got it from the tridenteer site.
i just ordered one... ill compare and take pictures comparing it to my incipio silicrylic case when i get the trident
I put the screen protector on. Used a wet install. Looks great so far. Smooth feel and very clear. It is dark outside right now, so I will report back tomorrow during the day. Looks really good in the house. Just a few air bubbles settling. I can tell they will go away though.
Screen protector is great. Really clear in light and dark. I'm sure there's better quality out there but for free its great. Also I have the green case. Get compliments like crazy about this case. Very high quality and looks pretty sick. Great protection. Great looks. Great case.
FYI the Incipio case has the slight gap around the camera as well.
The only issue I have seen, been using the case about a week, is the flap that covers the charging port doesn't want to stay closed. It doesn't hang down enough to cause problems really but isn't a tight fit and would def let dust in. Other than this small issue the case works great.

[Q] Case recommendation!

Hey guys, my S3 should be here by the end of the week, woooooooooo. But I need some help deciding on a case and was wondering if people who have tried different cases or used just one and can reccomend it could chime in. Basically I want something that will protect the phone, specifically something with a lip so when screen down the screen isn't touching the surface it's on, and basic protection of the phone, I don't drop my phone often, never dropped it on concrete, I'm not very clumsy but I still want something that'll protect my very very expensive phone. The Otterbox defended and similar cases seem like overkill for me, but the clear plastic 2mm case seem like not enough protection, so I was wondering if there was a nice middle ground that wasn't too thick and bulky but would definitely protect the phone. I've got my eye on this one http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s-3-ballistic-sg-maxx-series-case, any other suggestions?
Keep in mind I'm coming from a Desire Z with a thickness of 14.2 mm, the S3 feels like a piece of paper in my hand coming from that, so a little bulk doesn't bother me.

That's a nice deal for the Kraken, I like the Aegis as well, they look really nice.
I know you said the otter box is excessive but they actually have two different styles at sprint. i have the slim otter its not bulky but protects everything. I like alot due to the fact that it protects the charging port as well as the ear phone Jack. I had the s2 before and my charging port always got stuff in it like lent from my pocket or what not. The case is lined with a silicone case inside a hard shell which will stop dirt from getting inside and scratching the device as well as making it more drop resistant. It is deffinatly worth having for 30 dollars.
The otter box i have is actually smaller than the case you have posted and comes with one screen protector as well.
Here is a youtube review of the case if it dosent play just google galaxy s3 otter box commuter caae.

+1 for Otterbox Defender. Its not anywhere near as bulky as I thought it was going to be and I really like how it provides me with solid, square edges so I can prop it up on my display screen in my car dash very easily and it stays securly in place (for the most part).

What is a good protective case that won't stick to my pocket?

I'm looking for a case that offers some drop protection, but won't add a lot of bulk and won't stick to my pocket. Now I have a tpu case but I don't think it has much drop protection. Is there any bumper case that just go around the edge like the iPhone bumpers?

Ok, I'm looking for something that would also have shock/drop protection, something like the speck candyshell would be perfect, but they don't make it for this phone, maybe someone know of a similar case?
Here's the case I have now

I have that exact case and this case...

this one offers great protection but its very bulky... and doesnt slide in and out of your pocket well

That looks like a good option, I'll probably get either that or this, they look almost the same, does anyone know if the back outside of this case is rubber or plastic?

The back is plastic. That's the same exact case I got for my sisters One S, even the color, lol. And I have a similar blue one only the corners are thicker rubber. We got them so my nephew wouldn't damage our phones throwing them around. It will go in a pocket just fine if the pockets are roomy. Tight jeans might be a hassle.
Edit: Just checked the amazon link and that's the same one I have only in black. The only difference between that one and the green one is the plastic texture on the back. And the silicone corners layer is thinner on the green one, which annoys my sister as it stretched out and now the top and bottom is loose around her phone, whereas the thicker one I have holds tight and firm.
Hope that helps.

Ok sweet, I'm stuck between that case or the D3O Flex Gel Hard case, does anyone who has the d3o know if it has good drop protection? In the end I'll probably end up buying both because they're so cheap haha.

Well the d30 technology is made for impact protection(it's used in helmets, safety gear, etc) but I've never personally used it. I can verify the two piece plastic/rubber case I have definitely protects against drops, but with corners like that how could it not, lol. My phone straight up bounces when I drop it.
I've had 2 d3os, the one that was hard plastic on the back (99% of then crack) and the one that is all hard rubber. The buttons are really hard to press on either, and i think it led to a malfunctioning power button because i was pressing so hard. Great protection and doesn't come off easily. If you drop it face down i think it will protect it

The Beast from Evo claims this newfound Hybrid Armor can protect one's jewels from being thrown over 50 pes. I am very much so obliged to agree with this monstrous beast! His personal guarantee is written in stone as well.
I'm happy with my D3O case. Haven't had any major drops but it provides a nice grip when holding the phone so it's not as slick as the phone when it's naked.
