bought ghost armor for the evo, package was lost in the mail so they sent it again and they both came the same day. i am selling them on ebay but if they don't go, i guess i will give them out? i don't know what the protocol on selling stuff on the forums is so i might as well avoid the problem and give them out if they don't sell on ebay. PM me
i'll take it and do a review on it along with steinheil and bodyguardz. something useful for the community

I would like one!
Me 3. I'll review it also which will be good getting more opinions is good.
Reviews for the communities are good, but how is it fair to give away free protectors to people who already have a couple of protectors, rather than to someone who doesn't have any? I understand doing a review, but if that is the route the OP chooses, maybe the reviewer should agree to then give it away to someone who doesn't have any protection after the review is complete. Oh yeah, and I'd like one too please.
Well OP,
I am willing to be someone who destroys the screen protector by hitting it with razor blades and nails and such.
I returned my Zagg after 3 days of use where it got really scratched up from a fingernail. Never had any scratches show up on any of the 3 glass screened devices I have had and used all of them naked with a case.
I am a person that they would have to convince to buy one since I don't believe that these modern devices if well cared for with a case do not need screen protectors in my case.
I tried to find a little more info on this but even the manufacturer is sparse for details. Do they protect the camera lens at all? I've never used a case on any of my phones (too much bulk added) but I am concerned because the camera lens is unprotected and can't be replaced, a scratch or two can really ruin the cameras functions.

dam it...I just saw this post after I already put the order in...maybe they'll be nice enough and let me attach the 10% off if I call it in now...
I preordered through Cellularaccessory.com for $58.
Just confirmed with their sales on the phone that they will ship from their warehouse on 6/14.
I remember there is a free shipping code floating around somewhere too.
So if you can wait a few days more, you can save a nice $30 less tax with these guys.
just gave otterbox a call...gave the sales rep the promocode and was able to get the 10% off and because their computers are down at the moment he gave me an additional 10%...
can't wait to get this in and on the XOOM...

There are videos of the bb and ipad.
But honestly, what's ur alternative?
Almost 100 bucks? Now I need a case to protect my Otterbox.
i have one of this case from Kevikev http://kevikev.com/addtocart.sc it only cost be abot $35 back when i got it. believe it or not it is a lot more of a professional looking case and very stylish. i can walk into work with it, or even church. with the otterbox case i'll look like a construction worker. or someone who work with a lot of kids and don't want my xoom to damage. and honestly i don't see the extra protection in the otterbox case. cuz i won't be droping my xoom anytime soon. and so the case is mainly to serve as a stand and a jacket for the device. not a bullet proof.
i also just came across this from the walmart site. it actually look similar to otterbox, obviously not as strong from the looks of it, but design wise it is very similar without the hard screen cover/stand for the otterbox. check it out, if i do seem to find more information on it, i'll give it a try, they also do a free site to store, so yo can pick it up at your local walmart for free. and it only cost $14. maybe a couple dollars extra for tax. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Amzer-Transparent-Jelly-Case-for-Motorola-XOOM-Black/16539974

If you're fine with putting a $600+ tablet in a standard folio case just because you're worried about what people with think when they see you with it, then have at it. Personally I want a case to PROTECT my device and I don't care what other people think about it's appearance. It's known that the otterbox cases add a little bit to the size, but the protection they are known to afford the devices make up for that.
I had a standard plastic shell case on my phone and after I dropped it onto asphalt getting into my truck one day it broke apart. The phone was undamaged so I was lucky. I got an otterbox case after that and I don't freak out now if I drop the phone (which I have a few times) because I know it's not going to get damaged. I have the standard motorola folio case and have been waiting for this one to come out so I can stop worrying about dropping my xoom. I'm not going to buy it from otterbox though because I know I can get it cheaper elsewhere.
The one from walmart is just a silicone case. The otterbox is a polycarbonate shell with a silicone case around it. BIG difference there in the protection. Even in the name is says "transparent JELLY case".

i obviously bought my case becasue i like it. not becasue someone said to buy it. you seem to have miss the point. by stating that the case is a professional and stylish case was my opinion based on my needs. and for my job, the otterbox case is just not going to cut it, also my opinion. and FYI, the cases i have do "PROTECT"t my device so it wouldn't matter what people say including you. my point that the case will me look like a construction worker, was also my opinion. becasue it goes to fact that if i work consruction i would want the extra protection. i don't drop my xoom, like you have. so the extra wight and looks is not my style.
otterbox cases was made for folks who want maxumum protection, i for one had an otterbox case when i had an iphone. it was worth it then, becasue i could drop my phone often. but my XOOM will not be tasting the floor anythime soon, becasue i am very carefull with it. unlike a phone i have no reason to have it on my lap when driving and will never forget it's on my lap before i get out of the car, i have made that mistake with my phone several time.
as for the case on walmart, i was just giving an alternative for a cheaper case for those who will want otterbox but can't spend that much. that's why it's cal;l alternative. it cost less, and it will obviously not be the same as the otterbox case. as i said in that post it looks similar in design, but obviously not the same strenght. otterbox do have their customer market, like you. which is not a bad thing, it's just not a one size fit all. some people like me don't have the need for an otterbox case, because i also bought my xoom the looks. i like how it feels and it's design. so i want to enjoy that.
that's why i laught when i see people with the ipad2, saying it is so light and thin, but they have it cover in an otterbox case that makes it looks and feels like the original ipad.to me it;s like why did you buy it based on how thin it was, only to put it ina bullet proof jacket. and i mean let;s face it, a couple yes from now, when there is a xoom 2 or even xoom 3, you know you'll be wanting to get that one as well. and will likey pass this on to someone or sell it. technology is leap year ahead. so there will always be the next generation product.
otterbox did build a name for themselve with good quality product. it was popular with alot of people, mostly teenager, who don't want their summer paycheck to go in breeze with one drop. so ennjoy your otterbox case my friend, i was just stating my opinion, i wasn't dogging otterbox. it's just not a one size fit all. and some people like me bought my xoom for the look as well as the brain. and looks does matter in the tech world. that's why everyone want to make the pretty phones, thin, big screen, shiney cover, and all tht good stuff.
i bet you won't be buying a old IBM laptop over an HP or Apple. cuz you want the pretty choice not the big and bulky IBM. you want the thin and lightweight next generation laptop. same thing with cars and just about everything else. so let's face it looks matters. and it's not about how others view it, it's about how you will like it, cuz you the one that's gonna spend the most time with it.

Your exact words were "i can walk into work with it, or even church. with the otterbox case i'll look like a construction worker. or someone who work with a lot of kids and don't want my xoom to damage". That says you don't want it because it will make you LOOK "like a construction worker" to your coworkers and church members. If you don't care, then it shouldn't matter.
i don't drop my xoom, like you have. so the extra wight and looks is not my style.

I never said I dropped my Xoom. I've dropped my cell phone and there have been times where I've worried about dropping my Xoom, but I have never ACTUALLY dropped it. My point is that if it offers more protection I could care less if other people (including yourself) think it would make me look like a "construction worker". I've never received those opinions about my phone and I doubt anyone would make the same opinion about my Xoom were it in an otterbox. Now, if it had bright yellow markings on it and was much heftier than it is, I could see someone saying it looked like it belonged on a construction site.

I don't see how something that is completely different from the otterbox would be an alternative to it. That's like saying any other case out there on the market is an alternative to the otterbox. Sure they may be alternatives to "cases" in general, but they're not good alternatives to the otterbox unless they are similar in design. Now if you linked to a cheaper shell case with a silicone outer case instead of just a simple silicone case, there would be no argument that it would be an alternative to the otterbox.
otterbox do have their customer market, like you. which is not a bad thing, it's just not a one size fit all. some people like me don't have the need for an otterbox case, because i also bought my xoom the looks. i like how it feels and it's design. so i want to enjoy that.

Which is the same reason someone buys an iPad. I bought mine for function over form. You can take a piece of **** and put a pretty bow on it and it's still going to be a piece of ****. The Xoom, on the other hand, is a pretty slick device inside and out so even if you buy it because of "the looks" then you're still getting a good device.

Actually I wouldn't buy any of those, but I wouldn't buy an "old" anything. I would never consider buying an apple laptop because they charge too much for what you actually get, and I have never really liked hp laptops. Even IBM knows that lighter is better because laptops are more portable as ever these days and with competition between laptops/netbooks/tablets they have to keep up. Their new lenovo laptops aren't the big ol bricks they used to be. I buy for the purpose I need it for. If I'm going to have a laptop I never take away from the house I would go for something like an alienware or XPS system that aren't the lightest things in the world, but they're powerful. When I was in the military I had a panasonic toughbook and loved it. Damn thing was almost bulletproof just on it's own. I would prefer to have the whole package of form AND function, but if I had to choose between an old datsun 280Z that ran like a dream and a brand new nissan Z that could barely go into gear/had no stereo/transmission falling apart I would go for the 280z that ran. I will choose function over form any day as long as it gets the job done.
My last post was a little off topic, so to be a litter more ON-topic XD if they sold a commuter case as well I would be all over it. For anyone that doesn't know the difference, the commuter case has the silicone around the device and the poly shell on the outside instead of the other way around with the defender. It seems like the commuter cases are only made for phones though.
lol..you are such a fun guy to chat with. you broke it all down. which i like. however to all your point as stated it is simply opinion. by me saying i can walk into work or church is my opinion. and i'll say this otterbox on a phone doesn't look bad, becasue of the form factor. it is small and not as obvious as it would be on a xoom. that's why i can quickly pick u when someone has an ipad2 with the bullet proof jacket on. and so you might not have gotten the construction worker comment, becasue people wont say that to you, especially after when they don't know the device you have. ie. i have had aye people as me if my xoom was the ipad. the look on my face usually answer the question.
but i'll tell you man, when i see the otterbox on a tablet (so far only the ipad i've seen) it reminds me of constructon worker doing survey in the field, and that's just a picture in my head, which i not a bad thing i should say. there is nothing agains construction worker. it could easily be one of those at&t workers on a poll connecting telephone wires, or a comcast cable guy doing connection test. those are the target market for otterbox. not that they don't appreciate you the regular folk buying their product. but they are targetting a different market with those bullet proof jacket.
Otterbox
Got my otterbox for xoom and installed it:
Pros:
Great protection
can dock without removing case
access to power button with and without outtershell attached.
well built
can power without removing from case
ports are wellsealed
Cons:
the outer shell design adds too much thickness via excess space (see comparison pic between iPad I and Xoom Otterbox case.
Outer shell squishy due to excess space.(poor design)
1st pic outer shell on Xoom. So much space you can see through it
2d pic outer shell on iPad nice and sleek (looks good)
3rd pic side by side comparison

Any ideas how you would redesign it to remove the excess space? I'm assuming that space was put there on purpose to accommodate for something else.
i think the space is to prevent any damage to the screen by scratching. because the cover has parts that prop it up to make a stand. that could be a reason. but i don't have one, so i can't be sure. but we'll find out soon.

Dear fellow XDA'ers,
I have recently found something on Youtube and eBay that I'm yet to see anywhere else on the XDA forum.
I'm talking about a German company that supposedly creates CNC machined bumpers and metal cases for Galaxy S2 (which is pretty rare apart from the several Korean/Chinese bumpers).
They have a Youtube account full with videos - http://www.youtube.com/user/creativdesign5
And eBay - http://stores.ebay.de/creativ-design5
Personally, I love their products but I'm wary of their legitimacy due to the lack of content or reference regarding them. Even after thorough Googl'ing, I can't find anything solid or worthwhile on them.
Maybe someone has heard of them before?

Those prices are INSANELY HIGH!!! 54 EURO for an aluminum bumper? I bought my SweetArmor bumpers (which in my opinion are WAY NICER) for like $11.00 CANADIAN each INCLUDING SHIPPING.
These are pretty nice but WOW... What are they lined with... GOLD, PLATINUM, TITANIUM for that price?!
Where did you get your SweetArmor for $11 CAD? Would love to get one at that price to try it out.
I am quite certain these are made from China.
If you look hard enough there are identical products with different branding and cost less.
Similar to the sweet armour.

I just remembered the thread with metal case lineup and had forgotten about the case that is described as IKUBA. In fact, the case is exactly the same as all the Creativ Design5 cases (for Galaxy S2 at least).
I'm not sure how I missed this first time around but I feel embarrassed now.
hmm.. are there other brands of this type of aluminum bumpers? the ones that does not cover the lower part of the phone as that is where the antenna is.. the problem with metal/aluminum bumpers that covers that area is that it greatly affects signal reception.. that's what happened to me when using the akiba metal slider..
cant understand why people want to cover up this beautiful phone in a case

Your claim only makes sense but I am yet to see anyone else with this problem (at least in the threads that I've looked). And check IKUBA but that's the only case I know that doesn't cover speaker/antenna.

It's not gonna stay beautiful for long unless you protect it.
It's just a mobile phone, how long are you gonna keep it? 10 years and you want to protect it!!! The average people keep their phones for a year or two!!!

Since they look exactly the same, I'm going to assume that they are and each party has just decide to stamp their brand on it. So in terms of difference, there should be none.
Hey friends,
Anyone have any experience with the zaggskin for the S3? I am thinking about submitting my own design but I haven't seen any reviews for the s3 version. I am worried about it coming off on the sides and whether it will fit the curves of the back cover properly.
If you have any pictures of it, I would be really happy if you could post em
I have the zagg screen .... so far so good..... its pretty decent.... bought at radio shack or $20.00. It did start to lift a lil bit on the edge by the sensor however, just cleaned a lil bit and re stuck...... this is my second zaag.... the first one was on my sensation.... really protected phone..... increased the resale value not to mention lite time warranty. Installed a new one before i sold it....

The Zagg skin started to fall apart on my phone after the 45day warranty. The plastic layer got separated from the adhesive layer where the picture is. Zagg told me that my warranty was over so I would have to buy another one. Yeah right... Buy a new skin every 45 days?
I've attached a picture here. It is coming off on all the corners except the top right. It was applied properly because the sticker layer is still on there. It's clearly a manufacturer defect or a low quality product.
I've had a few ZAGGSkins in my day and I usually buy one for every phone I get with a different design on each.
The general feel I've had with them is rather good and to be honest the only downside is they can peel in rounded areas if not applied properly. So keep that in mind when you do go to apply it.
But overall, I would definitely recommend getting a custom ZAGGSkin because for one it makes the phone significantly more grippier so one handed typing is more plausible, the skin is a custom design of your choice and its pretty much unscratchable!
So, get one!! And if you need help creating a design, let me know and I'll see if I can stitch something together for you.
there is a new Diztronic case coming on Nov 18
looking very nice, not boring like the one that diztronic has right now
http://www.tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=104_105&products_id=418
This kinda looks boring to me. Not sure what really makes a case exciting though.
Eh.. I don't like those pronounced corners. They stick out so much.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
Pre-ordered one a couple weeks back. Waiting on the red.
See how the extra thickness on the corners fair in real life. Should provide that extra protection when necessary.
Use code xda to get a small discount.
Not sure about the puffed up corners. Looks like they are trying to mimic Ringke or Spigen cases to create some gap between the case and phone. Anyways, I like Diztronic and bought many cases from them. So I can tell you from experience that what you are seeing as in finish and texture is just simple renders. Actual case would feel the same like old Diztronic case . I got excited too when preordered one for Nexus 5.

I try to avoid looking at competitors cases as much as possible so im not influenced by them with our designs. I don't believe anyone else makes a TPU case like our Ultra, but I could be wrong. I have a different mindset about business then some of our competition. There is a reason why Diztronic doesn't sell 20 different styles of cases. I only release what I consider to be best in class products. If I were to make a two piece case, I'd only want to sell it if I thought it was the best two peice on the market. Honesty, I cannot make a best in class two peice, the competiton is already making excellent two pieces.
I feel very strongly that our single piece TPU cases are the very best TPU cases on the market. I think our sales and reviews reflect that, no one sells more TPU then we do or has higher review ratings. I have the mindset of do one thing and do it well. It's for this reason that going forward Diztronic will only sell TPU. I may change my mind in a year or two, but that is where Im at right now. I want to have three styles. Our basic, Ultra/Voyeur, and then a third that is currently work in progress. If it works out how I have it planned in my head, it will be as exciting as a TPU case can be, haha.
Our case doesn't mimic Spigens "air gap" marketing baloney, ours has no gap. I haven't seen what's rearths been doing for at least a year now, I thought they fell off the map. Used to see their one piece snap ons all the time but haven't seen them lately. The corners on the Ultra are very subtle, based on your guys feedback we could make them more or less pronounced in the future, but I think you will be very happy with the design. If I didn't think the Ultra was a best in class design, I wouldn't of made it

Eh.. I don't like those pronounced corners. They stick out so much.

maybe need to see one in person, as they hardly stick out at all. That first shot makes them look larger maybe because of the angle. Look at the shot of the front of the phone while it's laying on its back, more true to scale. This is our higher level of protection case though, it's not meant for everyone. It is what I use on my own device though, considerably better than our standard case and in a very slightly increased size.
Anyone get theirs yet? We shipped on Monday, but black only. Red and gray should be as soon as today but for sure before weeks end.

I try to avoid looking at competitors cases as much as possible so im not influenced by them with our designs. I don't believe anyone else makes a TPU case like our Ultra, but I could be wrong. I have a different mindset about business then some of our competition. There is a reason why Diztronic doesn't sell 20 different styles of cases. I only release what I consider to be best in class products. If I were to make a two piece case, I'd only want to sell it if I thought it was the best two peice on the market. Honesty, I cannot make a best in class two peice, the competiton is already making excellent two pieces.
I feel very strongly that our single piece TPU cases are the very best TPU cases on the market. I think our sales and reviews reflect that, no one sells more TPU then we do or has higher review ratings. I have the mindset of do one thing and do it well. It's for this reason that going forward Diztronic will only sell TPU. I may change my mind in a year or two, but that is where Im at right now. I want to have three styles. Our basic, Ultra/Voyeur, and then a third that is currently work in progress. If it works out how I have it planned in my head, it will be as exciting as a TPU case can be, haha.
Our case doesn't mimic Spigens "air gap" marketing baloney, ours has no gap. I haven't seen what's rearths been doing for at least a year now, I thought they fell off the map.

Thank you for your comments. I ordered the grey one for my oneplus. I'm excited to get it to be honest. I was looking for something that would protect my phone, look good and stylish and not be bulky. When I like something tech, I tell and show everyone so here's hoping this is an awesome case.

I hope you do to. I sold my OnePlus One a month ago so I haven't personally been able to use this case yet, but it's the same design as our iPhone 6 Plus Voyeur case (which is what I'm using now) minus the window. I just love this case, but I'm likely biased
It was a hard pill to swallow buying an iPhone after using 10-15 Android phones since I owned an IPhone 3G. But man, what Apple has done with iOS these days is super impressive. Android will always be the hardware leader of course, but Google has some catching up to do to be on par with iOS 8, as much as it pains me to say it!

I have an iPhone 5c I use for work and I can barely stand it. All I see is screens of icons. I know you can make groups and whatnot and clean your screens up but the interface, in my opinion, is very simple and design wise, 5 years old. Android/Google totally owns the innovation in their OS. I tell my customers/users if you want a phone that is simple and just works, iPhone is for you. If you want choice, Android all the way. I hope you'll come back into the light soon

Thanks for your comments. Like I said in my original comment, I like Diztronic and a long time customer. Used them on a all my devices since Galaxy Nexus for a simple reason that you were among the only first few to bring out a case for that phone ... lol. Keep up the good work.
i'm keen on the red one, does anyone have any real life pictures (and not with some crappy Nexus 4 camera! ) of them (either fitted to an OPO or just sitting on a table) ?

Oh I agree the 5 is garbage. But 6 Plus on iOS 8.1 is the best phone I've ever used by a great distance. You are right, they need a launcher update, but there are many other things they are killing android on right now. Integration for one, I can and reply to sms from iPhone, iPad, iMac, MacBook. I'm not abandoning Android, I buy just about every major phone that comes out for testing purposes. If I like the Nexus 6 better, I'll keep it. I doubt I will though, as I really don't like stock Android. TouchWiz fan!

We haven't released it yet in that color,,but it's the same shade red as our regular OPO case. Many pictures floating around of that model.
Just ordered one amazon prime. Will post review when I get it.
I already have a case for my OPO, but I couldn't resist and ordered this one in gray color. Can't wait
hope it's available on amazon.ca soon!
Received Mine Today

I've been waiting anxiously and I received mine today. I had previously been using the Tudia Slim-Fit Cygen case as I tend to prefer dual layer cases. Considering that most phone drops end up hitting on the corners I looked forward to the Diztronic Ultra's bulked up corners. So far I am happy with the product and the bulked up corners and the thicker tpu. I actually wish the corners were a little bigger. I used to have a Ballistic SG case on my old Nexus 4 and I miss that level of protection but I guess that's the compromise you make when you get a Oneplus One.
That is exactly the comparison I was going to make, they aren't as pronounced as the ballistic case. Hardly protrude, just enough to do their job. I personally love this case, by far my favorite TPU case on the market. This is our 5th time trying it, and the sales numbers on past models haven't been great. I'm not giving up on it though, I almost gave up on our regular matte back cases a couple years back, but now they are the best selling TPU cases on Amazon. Sometimes it just takes a little while to get the word out and build up momentum. It's a significantly better design than our regular TPU and still thin form factor.
This design takes us a little longer to make and costs a bit more to manufacture, so the Ultra will always be released at a minimum two weeks after our regular TPU. That doesn't help sales either, as the longer you take to release the more buried the product gets in the search results. Luckily (for us, not you) on OnePlus there is very few cases anyways so this should reach the front page of amazons "OnePlus one case" search results rather quickly.

In the USA we sell on Amazon, in other countries we sell TO Amazon. Selling to Amazon is a much slower roll out as they first put up the listing and place an order for 1 measly unit. Then if it sells, they'll order more. They progressively keep ordering more based on how many sales they are getting. The problem is, not as many people are going to order it when it shows as being out of stock or "ships in 4-6 weeks". I wish they'd just order at least a couple hundred right off the bat, but amazons inventory calculations are done by a computer algorithm, not a human.

ah I see, I purchased the normal case from amazon.ca too and it said 3-4 weeks but it was shipped in 2 weeks! hehe I would buy it from the site directly or amazon.com but shipping is 7$ to Montreal :crying: so hopefully amazon.CA buys from you soon! do you think if I message them they would move their butts? or is it arbitrary
