[REVIEW] t989 t-mobile dual layer hard soft case

So I just ordered this case of Ebay and I just got it a couple of days ago and here is a small video review and fitment guide of the case.
I think it seems to fit my phone well and the buttons are so easy to push.
Let me know what you think.

Nice review. I like dual layer cases. Does it attract lint?

Help buying a case !

Hello,
I really like a case for SGS3.Its called sedio surface case for galaxy s3 or something like that,but sadly i can only buy from europe through amazon or ebay,and this case is only in USA
Anyone know a similar case to this one? I want it to protect back,sides and on the front (so when it falls doesnt break the screen)
Also to be a hard material .
Thanks in advance!

Otterbox Are better cases in my opinion i got my wife to switch to them as well

If you want max protection get Ballistic SG or SG Maxx, Otterbox defender, Body Glove Dropsuit, Body Glove Tough Suit, Tident Kraken, Griffin survivor, BUt not sure how out of country works, so gl with that.

By the sound of the case he likes he's not going for bulky cases guys. The surface by Seidio is like a barely there case.

I have black I9300 and got matte black diztronic.For my needs, it is just about perfect. All corners and sides are covered. Front is shiny, so looks like no case at all. Back is matte, no fingerprints. Holes are all perfect. Almost as thin as the "barely there" type of cases but better coverage.
I got mine from this Ebay merchant, but lots of places carry them... Amazon, etc.

Metal case

Is there any metal cases for the s4? Not aluminum but real metal
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium

well...
first off aluminum is a real metal, so not sure what you mean by that. what metal would you like to see? I haven't seen one that is solid metal. http://www.droid-life.com/2013/04/29/buy-this-metal-back-cover-for-your-galaxy-s4-if-youre-tired-of-the-plastic/
there is one back cover.
the other one I know of is the spigen slim armor, But it is not all metal either. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BW6GIP2

If you have great signal where you're at... awesome, but if you struggle with signal, getting a metal case isn't a good idea from my experience. You may lose a bar or two. I have had more cases than I can count, ordering them like a kid in a candy store, except this time around with the S4. Having had issues before, if you do get one, I'd be interested in how it works for you because I wouldn't mind having a metal case myself.

The spigen has no metal whatsoever. It's polycarbonate and tpu.

My mistake then, I know previous spigen cases have had metal versions in the past. with a quick amazon search I saw it and just assumed.

Hey I actually found one.. It took me a while but they do have a metal case here's the link... http://www.casefanatic.com/samsung-...kommandant-samsung-galaxy-s4-metal-case-case/

I bet that would do wonders for signal strength.

What case are you using

I haven't had any luck finding a case yet in the mall and the cases at the store were ugly. I hate shopping amazon bc the pics never show the real quality and protection. Just curious as to what people are using as far as brands thus far. I love the feel but I need to protect this $708 investment!

Diztronic high gloss clear TPU, probably the same one as rick. Works great.

I am using Tech21 smoke/grey one. Though it was my only choice, it fits just right and buttons aren't that hard to press. (Hint: press home button to wake the phone)

I got this cheap s view case from ebay
no it does not have all the functions nor does it use the back plate thing
It is just a filler till I get a better one

I just received my Spigen case - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DCICXMU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Fitment is good, it adds minimal thickness to the device, and seems like it will add just enough protection to make me happy. I had a similar case on my Note II and was very happy.

Make sure to update us when you get it. I'm really thinking about that case, but $25 seems steep.

Hate buying these thin devices and bulking them up. Had a similar snap on polycarbonate on my last phone.

Same one I got...... My fav!
Had one on my s2 for 2 years loved it!
rooted,recovered,and rebooted from the ol' i777.......

I went cheap and got this one in clear
http://www.wowparts.com/tpu-cover-case-for-samsung-galaxy-note-3-n9000-n9002-n9005/
under 4 bucks, hopefully it'll last

decided to go with a cheap TPU for just under $2 shipped from ebay, I prefer TPU over the minimalist cases because it protects the top and bottom of the phone.

Using the diztronic clear frost. Lightweight and provides enough protection. Also its slightly see through so you can see the back of the phone

Another Diztronic user. I posted in the other thread as well, but it looks like it got buried. Reposting in case others are interested. I'm also waiting for a Spigen Neo Hybrid to ship.
Fit and finish is excellent.

I will be using a Uag case when it comes

A little off topic, but care to share your lockscreen app/theme?
And I actually purchased that same Diztronic case thanks to your post in the other thread. I figured it was pretty simplistic enough to get me through as I wait for my neo hybrid.
