Looks like a different version of the generic hybrid kickstand case that's been available for a few weeks.
Anyone wanna be the guinea pig and order one and post a review? :fingers-crossed:
Edit: Ordered one, see below for review
Bought the case since the green/black one is like $8 shipped. Here's my review
The cause is actually designed for AT&T version (E970), but somehow it fits our LS970 as well.
The Good
- quality seems slightly better than the other case (the one with the kick stand). The silicone is firmer and less sticky, seam from the injection molding is less noticeable.
- fits Sprint version of LGOG, all the ports line up
- looks much better than the kick stand case (IMO)
The Bad
- pretty big, probably the same size as the otterbox, maybe double the thickness of the phone
- fit's not perfect. The top of the silicone skin is slightly pushed up by the size difference, there's a gaping hole on the left side (for microSD/sim card), and the polycarbonate shell covers just the top of the camera lens (doesn't affect pictures taken though)
- the buttons are a bit hard to push, which can be a good or bad thing depends on your preference
Overall
I will probably end up returning it, it's not much better than the kick stand case and I know the fact that everything not fitting perfectly will bother me down the line. But if you want a cheap otterbox alternative this is not bad.

Not bad! Actually looks like a trident case
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I think the kick stand case looks more like Trident, since they usually have their logo in a cutout in the back of the case. The whole green/black color combo does look very Trident though.
That is weird that it fits if it is made for the E970. Since our device and theirs is a different build. But looks really nice, may give it a shot.
The difference is minimal (5.19" x 2.71" & 5.12" x 2.82") and the silicone skin gives enough room to make it fit I guess.

can anyone tell me if this case will work with the vibrant. if not, where can i find a kickstand case, other than the bodyglove brand.
Bodyglove has a cool case that has a kickstand. It's around 20-25
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
i have both the black mesh kickstand as well as the bodyglove. they both fit and work. the mesh kickstand may not be the top choice of some vibrant owners because it does not protect/cover the borders of the front glass/face of the vibrant as most cases do. i've had problems with the bodyglove case as it appears to be scratching the back case of my vibrant. i had the same exact issue on bodyglove case with kickstand on my hd2.
.
i let my sister have my bodyglove case. i actually didn't have a problem with the weaknesses of the black mesh case since the makers of it actually put some soft padding within the case to prevent scratches on the battery/back cover of the vibrant.

I think that seller was selling 3 diff colors; black, white, and pink(?). I bought the black one 3 wks ago and recieved it about a wk ago. Initially, I thought that it was going to be shiny hard plastic case but to my pleasant surprise, it wasn't. The exterior is covered in a thin layer of hard rubber, covering the black hard shiny plastic underneath, while the inside of it is slightly padded. It looks a lot better in person than in pics.
Is the kickstand serving its purpose? Hell yea, it is...it makes watching movies on my dope SAMOLED screen that much more awesome The hard rubber makes for a good grip so it won't easily slip out of your palms like it sometimes would w/out it and it gives the phone an overall slick/cool (IMO) look. The only downside so far is that I'm getting some very small worn out spots where the hard rubber has rubbed off but it's not a big deal though.
Pics or it didn't happen, you say? Well, check 'em out !

Just thought I'd post my opinion on my latest case and throw up a few pictures for you guys to have a look at..
This is my second case for my S3, the first one being a FONEM8 Hard Slim Shell off eBay (www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140764120157) and while I was happy with the fit and style the rubberised texture attracted dirt like you wouldn't believe. In the end I had a grotty off white case that wouldn't even wash clean You can see what I mean in the 3rd picture.
Off I went looking for something similar in fit but with a gloss/shiny finish so it didn't end up all mucky and found the Nillkin Dynamic Fashion Hard Case (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230807084265) paid my £10 and waited for the postman. It arrived fairly quickly from China and I'm pretty happy with it. The rainbow effect that can be seen in the pictures is fairly subtle and can't really be seen in the pictures, its most noticeable in natural light.
Here's the pictures anyway (http://imgur.com/a/Hy2gp)

Those are really nice, I have the black textured one and it feels like it will protect your phone. Also goes over the bezel of the phone enough that you can leave it face down.
I bought one but didnt like it, i didnt like that theres little to no protection on the corners of the phone ,i bought a samsung vented case instead and like that better

The corners and top/bottom are a tad exposed, for me its trying to find happy medium between protection and keeping the device feeling slick and lightweight, can be tricky
I tend to go through cases quite alot (finished with about 8/9 for my iPhone) so I'll do a thread like this for each one I buy so others have a decent(ish) reference :good:
Here is mine...
Good.

Has anyone used either of these our know anything about them?

Used the Aegis on the Sprint Galaxy S-II and it was great. Fit, protection, button worked smoothly without forcing. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the styling. I prefer the more asymmetrical, slightly industrial look. Based on the pics, looks like they went even further with those styling ques for the S-III, but I'm sure the build and protection are going to still be top notch. If you can put up with the 'design by committee' impression the new Aegis shouts, I'm sure you won't have any regrets with it's quality and performance. Don't know much about the Body Glove,... but at least it looks symmetrical, and for me, that's at least a start. Spend some time on YouTube, there are a lot of un-boxings and reviews for many of the S-III cases out there. Good Luck. Any reason the Otterbox Commuter didn't make your short list?
Just didn't like the look of it really. Off had body glove cases in the past, but they've been hard shell cases. I checked in you tube and i just can't tell if the body glove is really silicone like and attracts dust and lint or if it's more rigid? I'll probably end up getting the aegis. I like the sleek profile of it and the design is pretty nifty. Thanks for the info!

I currently have the Trident Aegis case on my Galaxy S3. This is my second trident case and love the case, I like the styling of it and I also like all the options on colors. I do think the trident for the price offers a better protective case than the others at similiar prices. The only issue I would state is the outer layer (hard cover), is a tad bit too tight and feels like it might snap trying to get it on (although its not nearly as bad as trying to remove a otter box defender) which was not a issue with my GS2 trident case, other than that, the buttons function perfectly, it looks good (to me at least) and its protected. Good Luck.
I have been searching for a slim case that added no bulk to my sleek nexus 5. I looked at Ringke, Spigen but all the reviews on amazon said they damaged the phone corners. I was going to settle for a soft TPU case when I stumbled across this. Poetic sand black case for nexus 5. Even better it was 4.95 with free prime shipping. I figured I would take a shot since I know a lot of people like the poetic cases.
I must say I really do love the case. the cut outs for the buttons are nice, the top and bottom are exposed fully rather than cutouts but the case extends a bit past the ends so they would be somewhat protected on a drop. The case fits like a glove but I have had it on and off a few times and so far no damage to the corners. It adds almost no bulk, infact it makes the phone that much better for me. The sand texture on the case makes it really grippy. It does not slide around in my coat pocket, It feels really nice in my hand, almost like a coated textured metal. It extends far enough that if I flip the phone the glass does not touch the table and the camera lens does not poke out past the back.
Short of a bumper case, which I was not too crazy about this is probably the best case I have seen so far for the N5.

How difficult is it to take off the case? It seems more or less like a SLIM case but instead of using the texture on SLIM it uses sand.
Should've done a forum search. I did a review on the same case about a week and half ago, mang.

More reviews the merrier. OP isn't asking, hes doing his own review.
Decent case but find it unbranded as "quicksand" on ebay for $1-3. Sit back and wait 3 weeks for it to arrive though.
Sorry wrong thread
The Spigen seems to be the current case of choice. The Olixar, http://www.mobilefun.com/61150-olixar-flexishield-zte-axon-7-gel-case-smoke-black.htm, seems to be the same, except a single rear cut-out vs separate cut-outs for each rear camera and fingerprint sensor. Just wondering how close the Olixar is to the Spigen.
This looks like a very basic TPU case, albeit of slightly higher quality then the one in box. The Speigen on the other hand is more comparable to a Commuter otterbox.
The spigen case will offer more protection, but be much larger/heavier. The Olixar case looks like it's probably close to a colored version of the clear one that comes with the phone.
Personally, I don't see a reason to buy any other case than the clear included one until that wears out. Unless I can find a slender kickstand one.

This is the thinnest kickstand one I have seen so far: https://www.amazon.com/MicroP-Layer...F8&qid=1480911193&sr=1-5&keywords=axon+7+case

Way too bulky for me. Thank you for the link though.
The Olixar case seems thinner than the Spigen. In the picture you can see the Axon name on the back of the phone
That microP case with the kickstand is cool, are there other kickstand cases? Here is a question for some one more knowledgeable then my self; do plastic cases interfere with radio communications I.e. NFC, WiFi and Lte?
I had the FlexiShield for my Note 7, really liked how thin it was but the corners were actually a little bit reinforced I think, I'll add an image, protected the screen nicely and minimalistically.
