I just purchased this case from ebay for a very decent price with free shipping. Right now it is $12.49 on ebay which is more than 1/2 the price anywhere else I could find, keywords being "I could find"! From the reviews I have seen on youtube and read, says this is a nice case. Some reviews say it is a little bulky and the volume buttons are a bit hard to depress but still a decent case and kickstand is sturdy. Also, it lays flat, which is a plus for some and all ports are accesible. I just ordered one and have not received it yet, once I receive the case I will post pictures and validity of what seems to be a great deal.
Sharing is Caring!
See post #4 to see pics and personal review.
This is also the link to ebay if someone missed link in OP.
Nice written review.
Video:
Just recieved case will have pictures soon.
Quick overview of case:
It is a little thick compared to other slim cases but is not bulky and provides good protection. Great design for the kick stand for a not too thick case.

The is a very nice case and I am very satisfied.
Pros:
All ports are precisely cut out including both mics.
Well constructed and provides very good protection.
Great design for a kick stand and it is solidly built.
Raised edge in the front so you can lay face down without the screen touching the surface.
Screen protector friendly, lay flat construction and made of TPU except the kick stand area.
Cons:
A little large for some people taste but not bulky.
Case has a satin finish and is a little slippery but not too bad.
I am very please with this case! Even got it at a great price!
Updated with pics and personal review.

Didn't really see anyone get something like this, so I ordered it and I'll review it once it gets here.

Leather case
I also ordered this armband, so i'll review that too.
Armband
Thanks for the effort here, and the expense put into it. I havent seen the arm band before - I have seen the leather cases, and have wondered how they fit and how well they protect. Looking forward to your reviews.... post up some pics too?
I have purchased 3 or leather holsters from ebay for my Atrix.
Still haven't found anything I liked.
Got the leather case (1st one) depicted today. It is a good case for being under $10, but I was disappointed when I overlooked the fact that it doesn't have a cut out for the power button / fingerprint scanner! I just cut one with an craft knife, but would not recommend the case because of that. Still waiting on the second one. (Should upload pictures soon)
The arm band looks interesting. Will the phone fit in it with case on like the otterbox commuter?

Kinda figured there wouldn't be a cutout for the power button/fingerprint reader based on the pictures of it. Though, i kinda find it funny that i can't seem to click on the different pictures on their page to get a better view. Unless it's just an issue with Chrome.
I'm actually quite a fan of Pure.Gear's leather snap-on case. At first i wasn't sure about it... but after using it... it's quite nice. slippery enough to slide into your pocket... yet enough grip that when holding it, it doesn't feel like it's going to slide out of your hand. fair bit thicker than the other snap-on cases made by Pure.Gear...
Anybody try the Incipio feather case yet?
Review?
http://www.myincipio.com/Samsung-Ga...-Touch-feather-Ultralight-Hard-Shell-Case.asp
Thanks!
I've had mine for about a month now, maybe a little longer, and I absolutely love mine. It gives quite a bit more grip, and it doesn't add much added volume at all. It's quite durable and I like how the black blends right in (I have the black obviously). Got mine off of Amazon I believe. The front has a very small lip on it to protect the face, and it's just thick enough to protect the camera as well.

from the pictures it appears as thought the corners of the phone are completely exposed. can you confirm this? last thing I need is a big chunk out of the corner after I drop it
I examined the pictures as closely as I could and decided against this case for exactly that reason. I'm going to try a case-mate barely there case. It looks very similar but after looking at some Youtube reviews it looks like it has more protection for the corners and a bit more for the top and bottom of the phone.
Here are some pictures in pink for high contrast.

Case-Mate:
I ordered the Case-Mate in black. I will take some pics and review once it arrives.
Here's a video review I saw:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gLaPnLw7-w
Not sure if anyone is still contemplating this case, but I just picked one up since US Cellular is now carrying them for their Galaxy S2 phone (it's the same as ours).
Anyways, the case is istantly my new favorite. Very low profile design and makes the phone a lot easier to hold. The pictures from the Incipio website are very misleading about how the corners are protected. I will try and post some pics a little later...
I bought one within days of picking my phone up. Have bought a TPU and silicone case. This is by far my favorite. I have the white E4GT and the black Incipio looks bad ass on it.
Want it even lighter? Take off the battery door and then put it in your feather...
Just bought one of these in "white", through eBay UK. UK seller; arrived next working day. White is in inverted commas because it's more an off-white/pearl colour. Not unpleasant, but would clash with a white One X, I suspect. Doesn't look bad on the grey HOX, just not as clean a look as I would have hoped for.

It's a snap-on back case. Very thin little bit of foam within the case for shock absorption. Quite a rigid case; not rubberised.
The case is almost flush with the camera lens. I mean if the case protrudes any further than the lens it's by nanometres only. I think that putting a small piece of cardboard within the case, just below the lens area, would push the case out fractionally and provide slightly better protection when the case is on its back.
See how close it is:
The cut-outs are fine:
The moulding is a bit wobbly in places; it was clearly manufactured to a price!
In short, it was cheap and it will do for now. You get what you pay for.
Apologies for the quality of these photos; they were taken with an old Desire, with a lens in less-than-perfect condition.

Yeah it was actually that review of yours that put me onto the idea of a carbon fibre style case. I wanted something cheap and in a hurry though, plus I've had quite mixed results buying from HK, so I thought I'd stick with UK sellers this time round.
This is a review of Yoobao HTC One (M7) slim case: http://www.kevikev.com/Yoobao-Crystal-Protecting-PC-Case-for-HTC-One-M7-YBHTCm7-tpu.htm
Some of you guys maybe familiar with my reviews, a TON of stuff I do for N2, N7, and S4 (the complete review link in my sig). I just received review samples of Yoobao cases from www.kevikev.com (the only authorized US dealer of Yoobao products), and beside N2 and S4 stuff they included by mistake M7 case. So I figured to make a short write up for the benefit of anybody who is interested in super slim case for their HTC One.
It's a super slim plastic case with a very nice rubbery matte finish. The plastic itself is semi transparent. There are a lot of color options to suite everyone's taste. This case is for those who are after improving a grip of their naked phone and also protecting back of your phone from being scratched. It doesn't offer full wrap around protection of top/bottom of the phone, so you have to be very careful since you can't rely on this case providing an adequate drop protection. It's mostly to keep it super slim and to give you a better handling of the phone to avoid dropping it. As you can see, all the port openings align perfectly, and button cutout offers an easy access. This case also comes with a screen protector of a decent quality (not your usual ebay cheap stuff) and a very generous micro-fiber cloth which I'm sure a lot of people will find useful even after installation of sp.
So overall is a very nice lightweight case that will blend in with your phone without any additional bulk.
Here are some pics (sorry, i don't even have a phone, just pics of the case):

After I received my latest order from TVC-Mall, I realized that by mistake I got S4 mini case, so I figured to write a short review about it anyway since it looks so damn cool!!! The one I received is: http://www.tvc-mall.com/details/Sam...her-Stand-Case-Green-Dark-Blue-MLC-I9190-25G/
This is another example when you have very low expectations when something cost only $3.60, and once you take it out of the box it makes you scratch your head of how far they pushed the envelope this time. The case comes in a very cool transparent package, but it's not just cheap looks when you take it out of the box. This is diary/wallet style case with a magnetic latch. It comes in bi-color design with bright lime/green inside and blue denim-looking exterior with green stitching. I don't even have a phone to test it out, so I tried taking a lot of detailed pictures for you to get an up close view. The inner case is soft TPU, and looks like it has a nice wrap around fitment for a full side/corner protection and even a lip around the screen. I assume all the cutouts for power/volume/camera/flash/speaker/headphone/mic/charger ports are aligned perfectly. The flip cover has two pockets for credit cards or driver license and another large vertical pocket for bills. There is also a cutout to close the cover while talking on the phone leaving a speaker next to your ear open. And I see there is a hole on the side to attach a lanyard. Furthermore, once opened the case folds to form a kickstand, typical for such folio cases. Overall, I was very impressed with a quality and a finish, and for $3.60 - its a steal considering some TPU cases by itself cost more than that. Plus, it comes in variety of different colors. Here are the pictures of the one I got.

Thanks for the review!
One questions though... Does the molded plastic portion of the case that holds the phone in place feel cheap? Not sure if it's just the shine it has but it doesn't look like that part is well built.
