Looks pretty nice. Anyone have one?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I have one for my Xperia ZL. It's a nice case and the front has metal in it to protect the screen against damage. The only question I have is does anything hold the cover down if you turn it upside-down.
Ordered mine should have it on a few days.

Thanks,
I just ordered one. It looks nice and the price is reasonable.
I just ordered a poetic and I think this looks much nicer. Let us know what you think. Might have to send back the poetic.

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.

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.

I just ordered the white/red one on Amazon for 11.64 with shipping. Ill reply back when I do get it.
looks cool, like a cheaper otter box case.
I'm also contemplating on which to buy. I like the Duo Shield and then this one

I have one. The black is a rubber piece that goes around the red plastic does a very poor job. It would not survive a fall high than 3 feet. It is very loose and comes off too easy. I will be returning mine. I am now looking for a white case and a good holster.

He says he uses the GSM with the extended battery and I wouldn't imagine the Verzion one would be to much thicker. States it takes a day or two to "stretch".

The case looks sharp indeed. How is the little retractor doing? No damage to screen?
I had something similar for my old Palm Pre2 and it wacked my screen pretty quickly because the stitching inside.
Edit: is confirmed by a reviewer also:
The one critique I have with this pouch is that the strap you pull to pop the phone out is stitched into the inside of the pouch on the same side as the phone's screen. I have a screen protector on my phone, and am finding small dots/dents in the screen protector forming the shape of a square from the stitches inside the pouch anchoring the strap.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The case I got for Pre2 was the original model made by Palm and it still managed to damage the screen. I don't understand how was that possible as the screen was Gorila glass, but it had 2 thin mate spots that annoyed me the hell out.
I don't use screen protectors. Just a personal preference bit never liked them. After 6 months in and out of spigen pouch there is absolutely no marks on the screen. I mean not a single mark. I was thinking about cutting the strap and throwing it away because once the leather took shape of the phone I can now shake it out without using the strap and I found this to be much easier.
Leather looks better every next day (I went for brown version) and it feels really nice.
I promise I do not work for spigen but I have seen some of the other accessories they do and the quality of their products is second to none. Have a look how beautifully made are the ipad cases on spigen website. Can't wait until they make one for my nexus 7 as well.

I almost bought this until I realized it was almost 1/2 an inch to short. I emailed the company to inquire about the possibility of a case made for larger Android phones and received a reply later the same day " Let me go ahead and pass this along to Dave so that he can take a look, and maybe we'll come out with a longer Sleeve just for phone like that one you have there."

I ordered the i-blason one from amazon. If you go to their website the pictures of the white one on the phone look pretty good. And reviews are pretty decent for their iPhone bumper. I've had the Poetic one for my Galaxy Nexus and it was a piece of crap. I got the official nexus 5 gray "bumper" and I don't like it at all

Sadly, all three of the available bumpers on Amazon (iBlason, Abacus, Poetic) look like junk to me. But they are cheap in price at least. I would not buy the Poetic one based on the terrible build quality of their N4 bumper last year.
Hopefully the cut-outs are good for these N5 bumpers, especially for the speaker/mic on the bottom...Since the N4 speaker was on the back last time, so we didn't have to worry about the bumper cutout for that.
I wish someone from China just made a replica Nexus 4 bumper fitted for the taller Nexus 5. I put my Nexus 4 bumper on top of the Nexus 5 and it definitely still adds to the sexy-factor.
The best combination for protection and looks to me would be a front + back screen protector & bumper like I had my N4 equipped. The problem with the N5 is that I am not sure a back screen protector would look good on it or even be advisable. LG doesn't even ship the matte soft-touch back with a protector on it, unlike the glass N4.

Yeah, as Jeff said, that looks like the Abacus bumper.
Why are most of the N5 bumpers setup to have a two-tone shade of black and dark-gray on the side? If you see the picture on the eBay link, you can see what appears to be a new shade of color starting where the power button is (on the right side). That is exactly how the Abacus is designed. Even the White iBlason does this (black starts at the power button area). It looks ugly to me to have a new color start uninterrupted like that. The Poetic has a two-tone as well, but it does it differently, kind of like the LG N4 bumper...
Anyone know if these bumpers protrude out the back far enough to protect the camera lens when laying the phone down?

anybody got some review about the case and/or experiences with the e-shop?
Not sure if this review stands, but I had a bumper which I feel like looked a lot like that one for an older phone, and it made the phone itself feel a lot thicker. just my 2 cents.
