im sort of annoyed how i browsed and browsed the cases suggested on this site, and read a LOT of the threads/pages...and people who got white cases, or had experience with them, never mentioned how the white will diminish and dis-color.
i have a nilkin case that was highly suggested here, so i got one from ebay for 10. case is exactly what i wanted, but after a few weeks i started to notice my white case turn a bit rusty-browny/ish. my otterbox iphone 4s case was white, and also picked up ink from jeans or something after so long. if i knew all of this i would have never gotten another white case... i figured the otterbox just picked up crap, and was willing to try somethin else light.

I reckon if you spend the money on a better white case like the UAG it wouldn't discolor.

Whats wrong if he shared his experience. Isn't it one of the reasons to converge on the forums. His purchase was based at-least partly on research and recommendations here. It didn't pan out for him and he posted. You need to loosen up a bit
Yep.. white discolors, lesson of life lol.
the UAG might not discolor cause it has clearcoat on it (I think, right?)
As for rubber/silicone/TPU white cases, try a magic eraser.

It doesnt violate any rules as far as I can tell, however your responses to him are borderline harassment
I too find it odd he did not realize white tends to get dirty. But now he knows, and maybe others out there didn't know but will see this thread now.

Its not a question of like/dislike or buyers remorse. If there is an issue with the product and/or its advertized features, then yes, I will gripe, be it a civic or a beemer or the might pencil. Of late , a lot of sellers who stand behind the quality of their products have some sort of active/passive monitoring on social boards (check Amazon/Newegg) for feedback on their products and sometimes that is the quickest way to a resolution.
ok i need to get over my wasted 10 dollars. you need to get over me complaining about it...if i was looking for a new car and read a lot of positive (biased) reviews about that car, i would want someone to share their good [AND] bad experiences of the car..lets say the car has no cup holders, and 99 percent of the posters failed to mention that..what if i drove long distances and needed cup holders? and you were the only one that mentioned it had no cup holders. --NOPE dont do that. you're whining and crying about it. (dumb example i know lol)
its 10 dollars, just like you said. not a huge deal, although a lot of cases are more 20-50 dollars. im not making a huge deal about it. i was just trying to warn other people. what if someone is hung up between two cases, and they cant decide which one. and maybe my thread helped them pick what color they would like a little more easier because they're not reading the same post over and over ("oh this case is good")
Just wanted to let you guys know, the back of your phone will get scratched if you accidentally drop it without a case on it. HTC didn't list this in their product description, So I am letting you know.
I've got an OEM Samsung white case on my Note 2 and it's it's fared very well. I've had it for months and it hasn't discoloured or gotten dirty. It all depends on the material that the case is made out of.
I'm looking for a case for the One that I have now and I've used a Nillkin case before and it was black and it was great.
I guess it also depends on how dirty your hands and pockets are too.
Wow. Y'all need to get your panties out of a wad and get off the OP's back. It was just a post letting ppl know his experience with the case. Go find your next victim. Geez. -_-

Well I have the nillkin white flip case for over a month now and it is fine. Granted it being white it does get dirty real fast so it needs cleaning constantly, I have been doing this and its been fine for me so far.

I'd tend to lean with the "what's the point" crowd on this one-- no offense, OP, but this is kind of par for the course with...well, anything white! Which really does suck, because I know a lot of people prefer that aesthetic-- personally, dark and understated colors have always done me better.
That said, I'd also echo the sentiment that it varies from case to case. $10 cases are just about always going to be a hit-or-miss-- for that kind of cost, it's unlikely that the manufacturer invested in quality materials, especially if plastics are involved. Those will discolor on contact with just about anything "unusual" in the environment. I don't think TPU cases discolor much though, so if you want a cheap white option you could look into one of those.
Of course, the worst case scenario with these is if discoloration happens outside of the return period.
Yeah, I tend to avoid white matte plastic cases. The polished ones don't stain quite as easily, but scuffs are very apparent.

Uh, umad bro? If you want to go hang your heads in collective misery, a PM would probably be a lot more efficacious.
Seriously.. how do people not know white gets dirty easily?
Heres a few more tips:
Matte/rough surfaces tend to get dirty easily and stain.
Glossy/smooth surfaces tend to be easy to clean off, the gloss is a clear coat that protects the paint under it. Stains usually just wipe off.
Light colors tend to get stained because they are light, so any dirt/dyes will show up very clearly.
Your jeans were made with a lot of dye, it is highly likely that your case will get stained by that too, especially if your jeans get a bit wet (due to the rain for example).

Also where can I get some good belt cases for this phone at? I went to a T-Mobile store and was surprised that they don't have many accessories for this phone.

Try the white paint you just have to get two-three different types of sandpapers and then a white spraypaint/clear glossy . It is not as shinny as the OEM ones we have (where you can see your face in it) you just have to remember to lightly sand the device after the last paint application to keep a smooth non paint surface.
Now that you mention it... I just remembered, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755173&highlight=Carbon this thread theres one of the choices you have available as well. There's a I9000 backcover available in the accessories forum too
If the white cf could hold a longhorn orange decal/paint I'd hop on it in a second.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but the search function is down right now.
I'd LOVE to have a wood or bamboo case for my Vibrant like the way these iphone cases are made: grovemade.com
Anyone have a lead or know someone that will make custom cases out of wood or bamboo?
wow i went to that site and all i can say is wow. that is amazing. i have never seen anything like that for the vibrant but if you find anything let me know! i'm thinkiing of trying it out myself, i'm may be able to make something liek that, minus the laser engraving, it would be just wood, simple but could be cool.
woooooooow. That plain wood amber case is soooo tight. i would definately drop the cash to have one of those that thing looks amazing. My guess would be it would be way more difficult to do a case for the vibrant tho. Iphone 4 is pretty simple and symmetrical. Vibrant is curvy, and has that hump on the bottom of it, i like the way it looks but making a case out of bamboo would be difficult.
It would be GREAT to see some Android logos and guys on that. Wonder how well it holds up to water (washing it) and dropping (breakage)....
If it's Oak im sure it can take a fall its really tough not like that pine crap. As long as it has a good finish on it like Polycrylic or some type of clear coat, it'll be water-proof. I'm definately interested in something like this, I would make one but sadly I don't have access to any woodshop equipment anymore.
ok guys, i posted a week ago that i was thinking about trying to make one of these, and i'm pretty serious about it now. I'm no expert, but i've helped build a few houses and random jobs here and there so i've worked with wood alot. Never anything this small and precise though. I've been gathering up tools and bits for the wood work and i'm about to get started. I can't find any bamboo but i'm probably gonna use oak...we'll see how it goes, may take a week, may take 23 years, who knows. I'll definately post pics when i'm done though. the trickiest part is definately gonna be the hump on the back at the bottom.
I sure hope they start making these. those things are sexy
Never mind.
iPhone gets all the cool accessories -_-

If it's just the look you want why not try vinyl shelf paper/contact paper? That stuffs pretty durable, cheap and you can get it in oak, bamboo, whatever you want.
Go green guys! Save the environment.
Environment my ass.
Email them at [email protected] and ask them to consider making wooden cases for the Vibrant. More people that contact them, meaning more potential customers, the more reason they would consider making it for us.

you mean wood veneer? like wood skin right? I've used the stuff on little boxes I've made and it looks beautiful but the tricky part is when you glue it to the wood you want to put it on top of you need something HEAVY to be on top of the ENTIRE thing otherwise it has air pockets and curls up with makes it a real ***** to fix.
but I want real wood! So if I'm about to jinx something, I can knock on my phone.

Apple = 1 design
Android = multiple designs and different manufacturers
It's a good and bad thing for us.
I just got the seidio case and hate it. I would love to see a legit case like the one in the op too.
I was contacted to give my thought on this case..and well here they are.
The case is very well made. Its like a rubber build and it feels really good. Its got good grip on it. So good that sometimes i cant take it out of my pants pocket. It doesnt really get to hot even when the phone is hot. It has power and volume buttons build into the case so it makes it easier to lock and unlock the phone,as well as turn up the volume. I really like it. And the price is only 17 bucks. I say its worth it. It fits like a glove and doesnt cover any of the microphones either.

I disagree with the notification bar dragging issue. I have the ringke case and think it's fantastic. The feel is a little different than I was expecting, but overall I'm very satisfied. It was only $10 with a coupon I found online.
Yeah i can see where that could be a problem but it hasnt really bothered me.
Again
I have posted this previously:
The strip under the earspeaker covers the light sensor, therefore, while on calls, the screen will not turn off automatically.
I contacted Ringke about this a couple of months ago. They responded right away, and informed me they would look into it. I have never heard back from them since.
I went ahead and cut the piece off. It is structurally useless.
One benefit of keeping the strip might be that the lights on the soft-keys at the bottom of the bolt always stay lit when the screen is on.
Other than that, it is a nice case and fits the bolt well. My only other gripe is that the sides are not as sturdy as on the same case for the itouch.

I worked hard on making that video for you.
And just to let you know, your ad hominem argument is an improper use of the Latin phrase. If you may have noticed, I stated that I have no issues with the screen not turning off and then proceeded to bash you and your Apple fanboy. I wasn't trying to undermine your statement by directly attacking you. My statement simply concluded that I think you're wrong based on my experience with the case.
Regardless, I laugh at you for thinking I work for Ringke or received a free case. Please note, I would never accept a job as a blue-collar worker.

To others reading this, please do not click on the link. This member has decided to spam people.
You are quite IMMATURE.
As I previously stated, I am not an apple fanchild. I use an ipod touch as the organization I work for uses apple based products to run their medical software.
Also, if you check the other forums (as I previously informed you), you will see that all of my self-purchased electronics are android based (Xoom, DINC2, OGDROID, Thunderbolt).
Finally, you most certainly did employ ad-hominem. It is a fallacy of relevance. It is any kind of argument that criticizes an idea by pointing something out about the people who hold the idea rather than directly addressing the merits of the idea. As you admitted, you attacked me personally in order to discredit my point about the case, rather than prove your point.
Go back to school, and learn to be respectful and kind to others. Shame on you.

I've already received mine without a phone to put it in
Order from this place, the guy is great, a great supporter of xda and the prices are even better.
I also have a case from TPU, and my 1st impression on it is very good. Nicely made, looks good, and doesn't look like it will add much thickness to the phone at all (thin is one of my main desires from a phone + case combo). I'm most likely gonna buy a couple other cases from them, just to get some different colors and such

I picked up my Epic 4G Touch this morning so I'll get better pictures posted to our website and Amazon shortly.
The cases fit the phone great and look even better. However the free screen protectors we included are a failure. We kept the price the same on our cases so really they were just freebies anyways but I'm sure some of you will still be a bit disappointed. They are cut to be the EXACT size of the screen which makes it almost impossible (I tried 5 times and couldn't do it) to get them on without the sides bubbling. Not sure what we will do about this yet. For the time being I'm going to stop advertising them as coming with a free screen protector (they still will though) so people aren't counting on them. I'll let you guys know when I have a solution to the screen protector issue.
The case fits great, but man is the matte finish make for a slippery surface!
Any chance you will consider making a cut out for the volume keys, kind of hard to push.
Great product, as always

I won't buy Skinomi again after their HP TouchPad crap. Ordered a carbon fiber skin for the back of mine. They sent me a email saying it shipped but didn't actually go out til 3 days later. Then When I get it they for whatever reason added a cut out in the back to expose the nasty HP logo instead of leaving it one piece like pictured. The picture of the skin when I bought it was one piece, a few days later they switched it to the one with the center cutout.
I got mine today and installed it and its great. I had one on my inspire and loved it. It takes about 1 to 2 days for it to settle but when it does its like glass. Ill post pics tomorrow when all the solution drys and the bubbles disappear.

Looking forward to it.
You have a skin, or just a screen protector? I'm curious what the layout is. Guessing still that it's like the Inspire links I posted above.

What does it look like before it settles in? I put mine on about 2 hours ago and some spots on the screen look kind of sparkly. Is this normal? Maybe the solution hasn't dried?

By the way, they're available now for $3.95 plus free shipping on Amazon. I ordered a back up because it's a nice protector and so damn cheap. Figured this may be a pricing gimmick by skinomi, first time buyer. Can't go wrong for 4 bucks shipped. I don't mind the friction and it's application process gets rid of any possible air pockets and the rainbowing seems to be minimal and disappearing. Those are the things i was most concerned about. I'm diggin it.
how long did you guys wait to use the phone after applying the screen protector ??
Just to clarify...
... This thread is about the skins, not the screen protector.
Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't mind hearing how those are either, in fact id like to hear if that's all you got - but mostly want to see if the skins are laid out the same way as in the second post:

I'm hoping it'll be similar to this, since these phones are pretty similar form factor:

Edit:
Looks pretty cool in the dark wood too: http://www.skinomi.com/samsung-infuse-4g-dark-wood-skin-protector.html

Since these seem like a great anti-case solution, I'd love to see any pictures, i don't want to buy blind.
Thanks!
I can tell you that I bought a TPU black matte case and a skinomi screen protector and they both look excellent. I have in the past on various phones used Zagg, Ghost Armor and Best Skinz. Skinomi looks as good or better then the Ghost Armor which is the only other brand I would buy again. There is little to none orange peel effect and the feel of it is almost non-existent. Zagg is the only brand i would never ever buy again. The feel of Zagg is comparable to cover being on the phone vs naked and the look leaves alot to be desired also.
For the price on Amazon for the Skinomi, it is a clear winner (no pun intended) in my book.
Good to know...
I'm not a "case" kind of a guy - i like slim and pocketable - but I do have a tpu case on here right now, and would definitely recommend it. My matte black one looks upscale and fits really well, and it's not too thick really.
I just want that mm or two back.
Any pictures?
I'm trying to upload some pictures but it won't let me it keeps giving me a security error.
Here are a few pictures of the carbon fiber skin and the screen protector.
I'm impressed... I think that looks even better than the Infuse!

You need to give these skins at least 24hrs to settle. 48hrs for sure. Assuming the install went well, you should see all bubbles/sparkles disappear.
