hhmm looks interesting

Yeah it does... I think I am about to buy one...

Well, I just bought it. If anybody wants, I can post pics or do a review when I get it... Just let me know..

alright ! sounds good man, i was waiting for the otterbox but i might have to give this a try first lol
make a mini review when you do get it
thanks!

Will do. Should be in by Friday-Monday it says.

It was the only positive thing about my Vibrant. I have a very disappointing Seidio case on my MT4G that was waiting on an Otterbox but will soon be covered in a Trident.

heres an video on the cyclops case

Okay, this is definitely the best case I've ever had (Other MT4G cases I've had are: silicone, black rubberized hard case, and clear hard case). It does add some bulk, however. The material is very high quality and sturdy. There is NO creaking or anything like that. The video right above pretty much shows you everything about it, so I won't go into those details because it is much more effective to actually see it. If I can get a picture of my phone next to another MT4G without a case, I will post that. While it does add some thickness, you can't get true protection like this without a little thickness. Overall, it is a very high quality case, and I am happy with it. If you have any questions, just ask, and I will answer them for you.

Does this case like to collect dust that's all I need to know before I order it

Ordered on ePay from the Oregon seller. It arrived at my doorstep here in the SE in 2 days. Nice case - the design is well thought out and most of all, IT FITS! I kept the Realook and it took a minute or two to install. Looking through their current product offering, I see holsters and I am hopeful one will follow soon for this case.

I've have had it in my pocket for a few hours and no dust so far.

Ok thanks ordering now can't afford to have my screen crack again even order zagg skin so I wouldn't scratch the back of the phone.

How hard is the case to take off? I was planning on charging batteries via external charger.
- Frank

I think the case is sold out for now.
Also, the case is not hard to take off at all. I did it yesterday while I was driving a manual car in traffic on the highway. Lol...
And one side note, I do notice that the outer silicone case around the edges of the phone does attract some lint after being in a linty pocket, but I love the case overall.

Just got my yellow and black one its awesome I order mines directly from the site http://www.tridenteer.com/categories/HTC-myTouch-4G/Cyclops-Series-by-Trident-Case/

too bad it doesn't come with the kickstand. I'll stick with the one i got from tmobile now. The kickstand is absolutely invaluable.

Oh hell... I just watch the video. Nice. The deal maker for me was finally finding a quality screen protector that covers the entire front side. I also like the fact that the hard case is easy to take off.
Buying this now. Amazon Prime....
Edit: Screw Amazon on this one. "Takes two to three weeks to ship" - yet they have it on Prime. Will just buy directly from the makers.

Does the screen protector effect the proximity sensor? I've had the proximity sensor lock up the phone from being able to hang up on some screen protectors.

It hasn't affected it for me in about 2 weeks of use.

[REVIEW] Ballistic SG Case (UPDATE)

UPDATE:
I have seen a lot of questions about people seeing this case with out the lip portion which is on the top right of the screen. I just found this case on ebay which is half the price and does not have the lip.

Here is a White version I also found which looks nice.

Ballistic SG Case for T-Mobile
I just saw it on eBay and it looks like a great case for protection.
Here is the company's site with the standard S2. They haven't added our phones yet to their site.
http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s2-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case
Just recieved it today. I like the way it looks but it has a couple of drawbacks.
Pros:
1) Pushing the volume or power button is the best I have seen yet for the T-Mobile GS2 cases. Very fluid just like there isnt a case and the buttons make the natural noise that they make just like not using a case.
2) Seems to be the best protection I have seen for the GS2. I think it will handle a drop very easily.
3) I dont have a screen protector but the way this is designed I dont see how this case would cause any issues like the D30 cases do due to a tight fit. Its somewhat loose and should not cause the corners of a screen protector to lift up.
4) Has a great feel to it and adds some weight to the phone.
5) Protects the back camera perfectly.
6) It does add some thickness to the phone but this is because the phone is extra protected. I would say it is about 1.5x to 1.75x as thick as the phone without a case on it.
Cons:
1) The first layer is rubber and due to this fact it has a few issues.
2) Collects lint easily from your pocket.
3) Can be difficult at times to put in and out of your pocket due to the rubber.
By far though this is the best case I have had for a phone. I own a couple of TPU cases for the T-Mobile GS2 and a D30. It makes the D30 look like junk even though the D30 is a great basic case.It has some drawbacks but the pros outweigh the cons. I definitively recommend this case to anyone that wants the ultimate protection for their phone and doesnt mind cleaning the lint off everyonce in a while. If you like my review please give me a thanks.

just saw one too. didnt kno that they started to make them yet. their a little bulky for my line of work. and since im a student im not really in the situations where is need THAT Much protection....but do a review if you get one.

I ordered one. As soon as it comes in I will post pics.

I have to say yes... I'll take measurement tmrw but the corners are thicker than all of it. Its still not bad. Fits in my pocket n like how it feels in my hand ... I like the texture of back compared to the d3o.
To be fair, the rubber corners will pick up lint just like vibrant otter box. This thing is maximum protection...

Thanks, got one on order. This will be my 4th and hopefully final case for this phone, I am a fan of otterbox so I think I will like it. I started with the black bodyglove from tmobile, not a bad case but a pain in the ass to take of so I got one of the clear TPU cases from ebay and its a great case. And then the D30 came out so I exchanged the bodyglove for it, had to take it back because it fit like crap, the next one fit 95% better but is still uneven around the edges and for a $25.00 piece of rubber it should be perfect like the $7.00 one from ebay.

The first D30 that I got was from T-Mobile. That one fit perfectly, just didn't like the way how the button press felt. So then I also got a TPU case from eBay. Next thing T-Mobile gave out the cases so I picked it up, returned the original one I bought at T-Mobile store, but then the one I got from T-Mobile online, it fit 95% and was bubbling up my Realook. I was hoping for a Seidio case to come first but since I've heard good things about Ballistic case, I gave it a shot. Waiting for it to come in the mail now.

Oh yeah, that was the other thing, the buttons. Volume not too bad, power button was a PITA on the D30.

Got the case today and its awesome.

REVIEW: Spigen Ultra Thin Series

Normally, SGP makes very high quality products and I was excited to see they had an orange case! Long story short, I ordered it and it was AWFUL. It does NOT fit the phone. I have some pictures attached - enjoy my white, hairy leg on one of them. I don't have much to say about it so I'll break things down quickly.
PRO'S:
Thin
Lightweight
Incredible Packaging
CONS:
Doesn't Fit
Feels extremely cheap
doesn't cover bottom or top of the phone
Did I mention it doesn't fit?
Picture's 1 & 2 are of the offending side of the case while Picture 3 shows the other side fitting perfectly.

Maybe you just got a bad one? I just put my silver Ultra Air on and I don't see what you're seeing in yours. Mines is a good fit

Always a possibility. Sent it back anyway

I should mention that I am using a glass screen protector but doesn't appear that the protector and the case even interact with one another so I don't really feel that is the issue.

Has to be a defect, all my SGP cases fits like glove. They are really good with replacing defective items, you should try to get replacement instead of saying "Do NOT Buy".

I was thinking about getting that, especially since they have an orange case. I have loved all of their cases. Great product. I purchased the Urban Gear case instead, which is really nice as well. Also, use the code FREESHIPPING and you'll have it in 2-3 days according to their website. I'm sure this is a Labor Day event.

Ya. Im really getting upset with Spigen lately. Their cases look so nice. I had the Glas screen protector and all it did was collect dust/hair on the sides of the protector so I removed it. I ordered the Neo Hybrid and the volume buttons wouldnt work, exchanged it and thankfully the new one worked. Now I order a mint green Ultra Thin case and the stupid thing doesnt fit, it is so loose on the left side. How does a company let so much garbage get to their customers? I mean, they do have a good customer service, but shouldnt someone check these things before they ship!?!?!
---------- Post added at 01:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 AM ----------
Oh and before you criticize me, Ive NEVER returned a case/accessory before dealing with Spigen. First time having a problem with a phone case.

Sgp customer support is really failing.. They don't even answer questions about their products via email or Facebook.. If my neo hybrid doesn't work properly when it arrives it will probably be the last product I'll be buying from them.

This seems to be a recent phenomenon. Maybe they are getting overloaded with all the defective products for the SGS3? They've had to redo screen protectors and discontinue products. I emailed them asking if they've made changes to the Neo Hybrid because of the button issue - no response yet. Sort of a shame that they are continuing to sell these things when the reviews on their very own site all say there is a defect. Hopefully yours will be the exception.
I've actually had better experiences with Cretouch, they seem to be on top of things and speak on behalf of SGP in a much quicker fashion.

[Review] SGP Gariz leather flip case

So I got this over a week ago and I think I have had enough experience with it to review it. First off this case will not be for everyone. First off, the $50 price point will turn most away. But if you're on the hunt for a great quality leather flip case that's stylish and feels fantastic in the hand, this is the case for you!
Okay first off it does not add so much bulk. It feels smooth. The material feels great. The design both in and out of the case look great. Now this case flip open vertically. There is no magnet. There is a clip that hands onto the little indent on the top of the phone. As you can see in the pics, not everything is covered. A lot of the top is exposes. There are cutouts for the buttons on the side. Very little is exposed at the bottom. If it were to fall bottom first, no damage would be done to the bottom.
The case comes in this fancy little box. Inside the box SGP included not one but two Nano screen protectors (one I installed easily) with a cloth and a little card to push out bubbles.
I have talked on the phone with this thing on. At first it wasn't an issue. But if you tend to walk fast or run while on the phone, the flap will slap you back and forth lol it only happened to me twice but wasn't a big issue
The design is what really caught me. I was gonna get the original SGP Argos but when I seen this, the design just caught my attention. I don't know if they use genuine leather but it sure does smell and feel like it.
Of course this case won't be for everyone. The flap always being open and $55 price point will turn people away. This is not an every day case for me. It is a night life type of case for me. Meaning when I go out at night or go anywhere where I really wanna look good, this case comes with me.
Well that's all I can say about it for now. If anyone has any questions, just let me know. Hope someone out there found this useful

Hey the images aren't visible, im looking for a cool cover for my S3

Body Glove "Defender-like" case!!!

So I'm browsing through the electronics section at Wal-Mart looking for a wireless mouse and I happen to stumble upon a new case for our phone. At first I'm thinking, "Oh, so now we have an Otterbox Defender!" Then I look at the box and it's a Body Glove!
I looked online for this case, but cannot even find it on the Body Glove website. I took a few pictures of it. It looks pretty good. It's a little bulky, but not too much. Very sturdy. The case is three parts - two for the inner hard plastic and one for the outer rubber-like shell. It's much easier to install than the Otterbox cases, but really feels just as protective - for less as well (paid less than $40). I said "Defender-like", so yes it comes with a holster - and it's almost identical to the Defender holsters.
Have any of you guys seen this case in any local stores? It feels like a pretty good one.

I haven't seen one in stores yet...because i have not been looking for one. I will see if i can find it...

Apparently this is very new. Military tested specs, and it feels and looks much better than the Otterbox. I'm using a Thunderbolt for work with the Otterbox Defender. They look similar from a distance, but the look and feel in your hands is not even close. They also had one for the GS3. After several days of use, this has to be the best looking, best feeling, sleekest (relatively speaking, of course) heavy duty shock resistant case I've owned (and I've owned quite a few over the years).

Got this today and just luving it. Had the Body Glove Diamond white case before and it was a good quality but the Tough Suit case is perfect. Not too thick, built like a tank, this is the new batmobile from Christian Bale's Batman Trilogy if the other thin and slick cases are the stealthy slick batmobiles from the past xD

How are the buttons? Are they nice and tactile or stiff and mushy? That's what's bugging me about the D30 Impact case. The buttons are way too stiff and mushy (and before someone says I should hit the gym, I'm no chump. I can press them just fine, it's just annoying).

Just ordered one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-Whi...727&pid=100015&prg=1006&rk=1&sd=290717667572& I think I'll review it once I get it.

My co-worker has one of these on his black T989, he's happy with it, however I don't believe he's ever really dropped it so no drop-test experience with it. Oh, and those cases were also being sold at the T-Mobile store, for $29.95 label, no discount for clearing stock.

Got my Body Glove Diamond case a week ago and reviewed it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004609

I also bought the black body glove case at Walmart and after 24 hours I'm loving it. The only gripe I had was the built in screen protector. I have zagg so I took a razor knife and cut it out. Couldn't ask for a better case.

I want one of these cases, but I can't find it anywhere.

Love my seidio active case and holster. Better than my old phones otterbox!
Just saying!
