"Free" Stealth Guard Full Body Cover (Only pay S&H)

I saw a thread in the marketplace section of the forum for free Stealth Guard body covers. So I checked out the Stealth Guard website and they are indeed selling free body covers (you only pay the shipping) I picked one up for my Captivate and paid only $2.89!
I thought I'd post it here because I think this is a really good deal. **Mod Edit - Advertising Links Removed**
And I found on Android Forums a review comparing Zagg and Phantom Skinz and Stealth Guard in pretty good detail: http://androidforums.com/motorola-d...ector-reviews-zagg-vs-phantom-vs-stealth.html

Thanks for the share. Just ordered mine and it did notify me that it'll send a tracking number to my email.

It is not really free - it is $2.85 with free shipping. A second set is $2. This will cost them $0.49 to ship in US via first class mail.
If you want to cover your phone in clear vinyl, it is probably a decent product - as good as the others, but no special deal is coming anyones way.

Seems like a great deal to me for that price.

Meh... I have never been a fan of the full body clear protection because the corners (what'll get done in the most) are still left open.

That's what I'm thinking... A full body cover for less than $3? That's a steal to me, especially since skins like Zagg cost around $20.
The thread in the marketplace about this offer seems to be gone now, but I read success stories of people buying four for about $11 and some change and I haven't really heard anything negative about these covers (I've heard the occasional THESES SUCK but like 1% of the time). I might pick up a few more.
The only bad thing i've read, now that i think about it, is that it doesn't come with any solution to spray on

I just ordered 2 for $4.85 shipped.
I like skins because you can put them on the phone underneath a snap-on cover and it protects the phone from the stuff that gets inside the cover and scratches the device.

Just ordered mine. I read that the screen protector (which is all I'll be using) is high quality and has a smooth glide to it. Thanks for the post!

So i've been reading around about these Stealth Guard shields and I have found quite a few more 'these are crap' posts. From what I've read, as a body case don't expect much, but as a screen cover, it's awesome.
When I get mine I'll post a review of what I think of it as a screen protector.

I bought a set for my Wife's iPhone before they were available for the Captivate. It's okay on the iPhone, it didn't fit very well, but for $3 it's worth it. I also bought one for my neighbors Droid. No word on if he installed it yet.

Did you use any liquid solution when you installed the screen protector or anything else?

Thanks a TON! After dealing with the Zagg, I'll gladly try this out.

Thank for sharing !!! I just ordered one

Just ordered some of these...what a great deal!

Just ordered, lil over 2 bucks for shipping, awsome find!! Thank you for letting us know about this,

Any pics of it installed?

Not Received
I ordered last week. Have not received mine yet.
How long does it take?

Ordered a couple of these as well. I'm currently using a skinomi screen protector, and I don't think I'm taking it off. But I wanted to check out the rest of the cover. For the price dont' think I can really go wrong.

I ordered 1 just to see if it would go through and after the $2.98 shipping...well, $2.99 total.

Orderd one and it came out to 2.95. Funny enough if you order multiple you also have to pay separate shipping. Kinda of a bummer.

That would suck soooo bad if it did......it is an unusual situation, the shipping costing more than the product but for under $3 bones, I think it's worth a shot.

Not really unusual at all. Most shipping rates on Ebay are at least double what it costs to ship the item. There are also tons of small items that cost under a buck and shipping is higher. Basically, they catch you with the price and then make the profit off the shipping costs.
Even at ~$3.00 these are still a deal... if you ruin your phone with a case.

I got one, arrived yesterday. Cost me a total of $3 (shipping is why, but the case was $0.01).

Ya I got mine on Thursday.....it's definitely not the best case but it'll do the job for the price I paid....

there is a difference between 6-7% sales tax on $20 dinner and shipping of 298% that gets added to EACH AND EVERY ONE you buy.
if this was $25 free shipping eligible it would be a good deal since you could just order other stuff and "add" these.
now $2.98 would be a good deal if they were TPU but they are not just gel you can get similar and sometimes better deals on ebay.
what you SHOULD be concerned with is not shipping price but "total price"
so when I see an item on ebay for .01 cents and $50 shipping but its for a $100 item I don't really care that the shipping is $50.

I bought this case instead: http://www.ebay.com/itm/30063310140...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1511wt_1344
It's only $2.50 (free shipping) and seems to be better than this $0.01/$3 case.

much better

Yeah i have both. The black one is the one that's on as i type this its nice simple cheap. And shipping was quick. I like the rough grips on the side.
The white one was okay. Just nice to switch them out to change it up lol but the tpu is much better quality

Curious as to how much your black differs from the TPU sold by Diztronic? I have that one and it's a really nice case. Ten bucks though. Waiting on an Aegis now. I'm thinking I may need a little more than the TPU is able to give. Prolly end up switching between the two also.

Most expensive leather case ever??

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-LEATH...968894?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c629c42be
A leather case for US $1,395.00!
...at least the free shipping helps

Wow, 10 sold already!
Time to get into the "Insanely overpriced cell phone accessory" market

its too expensive for no good reason,

Damn I could buy 2.3 notes with the price of this case

I like how its design of flip from the bottom. But the price is also insanely FLIPPED AS WELL lol...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Well, eight of them sold at $13.95. Obviously there was some error after those.

The case is rubberish and so is the seller. I personally won't buy from any seller with a feedback less than 99.7%.
If you click on the item sold history, you will find 8/10 of these cases were sold for $13.95. Apparently, those two paid $1395 are either dumb as f0ck or they are just part of this scam (falsely inflate the value of this item)

Wow and I thought my Piel Frama was too expensive...

That is just a normal eBay trick. If the seller doesn't have an item in stock anymore, he puts the price high as hell so that no one buys it but still gets the 'clicks'. Ebay is filled with that kind of auctions.

Lol, insane people with insane tacts

Casemate barely There Brushed aluminum REVIEW

Yep,
Got this puppy, and god it looks sexy! that brushed aluminum gives a total different look to the phone. This is the color the phone shouldve been in the first place
only downside is the price..at 40bucks..its kinda expensive and its not super protective so ull feel like maybe its too much money for it.
Anyways, here it is!
http://youtu.be/kXkqFgsX5as

That's 30 dollars too much of the Maximum I'd pay for a non-otterbox.

$27 on eBay with free shipping. Not bad, I've been looking at some aluminum back covers for mine since I spend a lot of time in the woods and on rocks.

Got this one yesterday when I picked up my phone at the sprint store.
yeh its very pricy..
but it looks factory..
but I am second guessing myself for buying it. protection seems quite light.

This case has been proven to diminish data/gps signal on some other phones.
Could you do some back-to-back testing on the SIII to see if it has the same problem?
Put the phone on a table with the case on and run a speedtest.net test.
Then remove the case and put the phone back to the *exact same spot* on the table and run the test again.
See if the tests download data faster without the case on.

I agree 100 percent with u

If you guys like this case, I found a similar one on Amazon. Looks pretty much identical. Here's the link. When I got it, it was $10 plus free prime shipping, but now they have it listed with $4.99 shipping. Still looks really good though and it comes with a screen protector. I preordered my Galaxy S3 from Verizon, so I don't know how the fit is yet. But I'll let you know once the phone comes in.

Agreed. I would expect more protection for that kind of money

I have this case and it provides a lot more protection than its being given credit for. My wife dropped my phone from about a 3 foot height directly onto concrete. The phone suffered no damage. I have 3 scuff marks on the front of the case and 2 on the back where the phone fell and took the impact (it fell, bounced, flipped, and landed on the opposite side)......again, zero damage to the phone, only to the case.

Hey for what it's worth I bought this case and replaced with a "rock" case. Downsides were that it is too slippery, degraded my signal, and was slightly too bulky to where the power and volume buttons were difficult to press because the lip over the front were too thick.
As for signal degradation I only say this anecdotally. In my basement I get 1-2 bars with the rock case. With the aluminum backed case I would get 0-1 bars and most text messages would fail to send.

Unfortunately they don't. The UAG cases are very form fitted to the stock phone.

That site seems a bit too hip for me to buy from...

Same problem as ever, won't ship to Europe. Main company does, but I end up paying 2x more with shippings and customs and may take up to several months to get here...

I noticed the not eligible for return comment and hesitated...
I want an Aviator, but I may wait for the price on Amazon to drop some.

its still cheaper on amazon ($25 shipped) fab is $27

Iam so f**cking mad at UAG, i order the AERO color like two months at full retail price and still haven't gotten the case. They said. they ship then out last week. Lets see if it come by Friday if not ill try to get my money back and order from Fab,com
