Well I have a casemate tough on my SGS1 and loved it. Its kept my phone safe for the last 2 years. I got my CM toughs in the mail today, one for me and my wife. After installing our new screen protectors, and the new cases, I noticed mine was kind of sharp around the edges, (i think I remember someone saying that theirs was sharp too, and everyone shot him down) and then after looking over hers more closely, realized they are actually a completly different cut (version?), and the textures are different too. Hers feels and looks alot better than mine, and im tempted to contact the Amazon seller, but will probably just live with it. ok onto the pics.
edit*** post count too low to post pics so attached them instead
added attachments with the pics
I've had a CM Tough on a previous phone and the blacked out case looks a bit off. The texture and cut of the outer shell plus the cut of the inner liner is off. I don't remember the outer shell of my case having one bit of shine to it. Maybe a knock off?
EDIT: After looking at the case-mate site, the black one actually looks fake. Funny, as I have the identical black one as you and bought it from Amazon.
Edit 2: OP Compare the insides of the cases. Mainly the numbers and the other written details.
i have the all black one and it looks just like that and i got it from at&t :good:

Op has pink.
The images on case mate site shows the black and pink both have that fat button.
I was gonna keep mine either way as it's a great case.

oh my bad i see that now lol! i have no clue but ive seen prob five or six and they all looked like mine. it saved my phone bc i threw it (not on purpose) and it slide on concrete and it didnt even scratch the case these things are bad a$$
Yeah I def dont think my black one is a knock off, it came from the same amazon seller as my wifes pink case, in the same packaging, and its really well made to be a knockoff, I just noticed it was a different cut and wondered if anyone knew anything about CaseMate making a revised edition. The pink one is def smoother and nicer, and the cut looks a lot more neat and tidy. Does anyone have pics of a black one with the new revised cut?

I ended up taking some very fine sand paper to all four corners of mine, to get rid of the rough parts. now its all smooth and nice. still stupid it came to me that way. I held CaseMate to a higher standard than that.

My girlfriend found a nice skin from skinit.com for her Captivate, but we were looking for some reviews or pictures of them on the phone before we tried it out. We have used Zagg before, and they were pretty good, but nothing special on an original iphone.
I did some searching but the only thing i have found so far was some 8 year old kid on youtube that doesn't even know what a colon is lol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPXzsztRwg4
They're good. I made one for my N1 with bruce lee on the back. Looks nice.
thanks for the reply...i have had a few friends with the skins from there on other phones.
i'm hoping some people with the captivate could tell me how it fits and such.
They fit well, I didn't use the top or bottom part of back, just the part over the backplate. Front fits well but makes buttons a little difficult to push sometimes, I like it personally so none of my friends can use my phone correctly only me
The skins from SkinIt and decalgirl are great but those are the only 2 good ones. I tried three others and they sucked.lol So only go through those two.

I just made an awesome Tux (Penguin Mascot for Linux) Skin at UniqueSkins.com, and it came out great. Haven't tried skinit though.
Only problem is the front part of the skin isn't transparent around the front capacitive buttons so you can't see them. Luckily for me the skin is black, so I was able to leave off the front part with no problem. (Next skin I make, I am going to actually design the front to have the Armani logo over where the AT&T logo is and put the buttons on the skin image so I know where to cut them out with an exacto)
I got a skinit one time, and it was terrible and started peeling after a couple weeks

I had both the white and black together at one point... Don't mix them.. it sounded like a cool idea, but NOPE.
I'm rocking the white gs2 right now, and i would have to say I would prefer the black DESIGN because the white one feels like cheap plastic that scratches fairly easily.

yeah I saw a white one that was used for a couple weeks without a back guard (like zagg) and it looked pretty bad. It wasn't DEEP scratches or anything , it's those swirl scratches you get on your car after a bad car wash and the lack of waxing.
Fortunately for me, I covered my baby nice and tight. And truthfully, I think the WOW factor is the WHITE face not the white back.
Im interested in the incipio feather after reading many reviews. I'm fairly set on it unless anyone has a better alternative. I have 2 tpu cases that I don't use anymore and would like to step up.
Also, I'm tossed on the color to get. I'm leaning towards the blue cause I like the look of the Lumia 900, but I don't know if its too much. I would consider another brand if it is recommend tho?
I just got the blue one last week on my Black E4GT. Love it.

I wish i had a white e4gt. i would definitely put the black incipio on it as well

I'd suggest getting the light grey feather then do minor sanding then paint/seal it.
Thanks for the suggestion. I really don't want to mess with it, kor do I have the time. Just seems odd they wouldn't make a white version.
Anyways, does anyone have a pic of the blue on on their phone?

true, my white sline got pretty dirty, but it depends on the material used. That was a very easily stained rubber. a feather case with an overcoat like they make for iphone would more than suffice for the average user
Sooo anyone got a picture of this thing?
Not sure why I have yet to see anyone mention these on here, but on a whim I went to their site and saw they are selling 3 styles for our phone now. Back when I had my iphones (3gs and 4) these cases were always my favorite. Once I got my GSII, I didn't see them releasing anything for it and didn't like many of the other cases out there, so I just went commando.
I just ordered the black candy shell (for my white GS3) and will also be checking back to see if any other colors are released. I always felt they offered a great amount of protection (kept my iphone 4 safe MULTIPLE times from really bad drops) and not TOO much bulk (IE- not an otterbox).
Pixelskin HD (had this on my ip4 first, probably the most well constructed tpu style case out there)
http://www.speckproducts.com/smartphone-cases/samsung/pixelskin-hd-for-samsung-galaxy-s3.html
Fabshell (not my cup-o-tea )
http://www.speckproducts.com/fabshell-for-samsung-galaxy-s3.html
Candyshell (cannot wait to get mine)
http://www.speckproducts.com/candyshell-for-samsung-galaxy-s3.html
Once I get mine, I will post up a mini review. But judging from my past experience with them, I know I will love it.
Anyone else get them yet?
I'm planning on getting one of these (Candyshell), however, it appears they color I want isn't in stock yet. (Dark Grey). Apparently some AT&T stores have them in stock though.
I'm on Verizon, but may need to take a trip into AT&T and pick one up.
Somebody on Android Central posted pics of theirs and it is gorgeous. Looks perfect with the SG3.
My wife has the white/pink candyshell one on her Atrix 2 and when i took it off she ad some rusty looking stains on the corners of her phone.
I bought a grey Speck Candyshell from my local AT&T store for $35 while I waited for the cheaper slimmer cases I had ordered. It was a great fit, almost a tad too tight for my liking. But it was very solid, offered nice protection for the back/sides/rim-raised for the screen.
I just returned it as my other cases came, IMO the fit was a little too tight for me, and it added just a bit too much bulk for me, I like my cases barely there. Though I'm sure many will love it, this was just my feeling on it.

Perhaps makeup from her purse? I can't see any case causing something like that.
as the case...with any case (sorry, that just sounded weird), you should remove them from time to time and clean the phone still. Most people I know do not do this and then get all mad when there is dirt scratching the back of the phone. Completely ignoring the fact the case has been on for over a year.

I dont know possibly, she doesnt care about it so it doesnt bother me much. Thanks for the heads up though.
The Candyshell looks awesome, but does anyone know what the finish is like? I need something with a little bit of rubbery grip bcause this phone just wants to slide right out of my hands.

My wife's candyshell case doesn't feel rubbery/grippy, however it doesn't ever seem to slip out of her hands either.

Good point!
I had that happen with my DINC. Scratches from dirt and dust getting in. Was hoping that the Speck wouldn't do that as it's more enclosed and lined, but still..... I think I'll remember to do that from time to time.

I just looked at one at a store and the finish was too smooth for me. I need something with a little more grip. My search continues...
Just ordered the black/dark grey candyshell. All colors of the candyshell are available on their site with free shipping right now.
I ordered one of the candy shells yesterday. It should be here tomorrow. They also said that if enough people hit the feedback button link on the bottom of their main site and request the SmartFlex Card for the gs3, they will make it.
Smartflex for iPhone 4s link
I've already done the feedback so hopefully others will too.
Anyone have pics of their device with the Candyshell on?

That's the same color I ordered. All were available when I ordered and thought the bayou/pebble looked pretty good.
It's the soot/black in the pics above.....picked it up at the ATT store last week. Although a little off topic i also ordered the cruzer lite TPU clear case for $9 off [email protected] Bottomline, you get what you pay for in cases.....don't expect a $35 case for $9. The speck case is a quality product while i feel the other is not.
I was thinking of getting a leather cover for my G4.
I was wondering if it's worth the money as I have seen a lot of G4's on ebay with very worn back covers - and they look terrible.
1. Do any of the covers in different colours last longer than others.
2. Are their any colour that doesn't wear at all
3. Is there any way to protect the leather, with a spray for example?
4. How long did it take your leather back cover to start wearing away, and was it just from general use rather than a fall
5. Has anyone use the replica fake leather plastic one's from alliexpress and how were they, they look pretty bad in the pics.
Any comments appreciated.

Yeah, my black leather back is holding up nicely. My wife's grey/teal one didn't look so good: corners got scratched and darkened purely from the pocket usage. Black is the way to go (if you're getting the back cover separately).
Hi there. My brown Leather Back Cover looks like the green one from Molius. All around the edges darkened from pocket usage. But just the edges, the middle looks like the first day. Got the golden plastic one too, but dont like it.
Yeah I have the black one. Its like new as always. All the others Will of course go away after awhile. That's just the way color skins are
I agree with the other posters. The black one holds really well.

Well I just picked up a new G4. It looks from ebay that the black one is the only one that doesn't fall apart. I wonder why that is cause some of the other colors have the same texture. The non textured ones like the brown and the burgundy ones seem to be the worst. Pity as those 2 are my fav colors. Oh well, black it is then.

Get the leather, then ...
Get the leather ... BUT ... then consider buying this item from FastTech (Chinese co.), PC + Silicone Protective Case Cover for LG G4: https://www.fasttech.com/p/5608604 - it's thin and not that noticeable and at $3.10 plus registered shipping (recommended), it protects the resale/trade-in value of your phone if and when ready as well as any fumbles when and where it lands on something and breaks your screen, etc. Worth every penny, IMO.

Since august 2015. Daily basis use.
I take care of my phone so... Not good leather quality :/
(shot with G4 H815 itself!)
Should of gotten the black model where it's not so noticeable lol
Yeah... but I got it for a pretty fair price so, no complain.
It's a shame leather covers are so expensive tho -_-
