Best X10 case review (RT-SE10C2/R)

I just received my long waited case from Ray-out Japan exclusive case. The case is a must have to every X10 owner.
I received the case today from Japan, I ordered it online from a Japanese site Rakuten
http://en.item.rakuten.com/keitai/111-986835/
The case comes in 5 different glossy metallic colors and 1 clear, I ordered the Metallic Red color last week and it was shipped by EMS Express mail from Japan to the US.
The case/Jacket is one hell of a piece of accessory. Here is summary:
-The case is coated with 3H film and it is scratch resistant
-It fits the X10 perfectly and doest wobble around like other cases
-It came with screen protector, I think it is the same one SE uses on their X10 stock phones
-The case have a thick paint on it with Metallic touch, so there is no way it would slip from your hand and has a very solid feel to it
-The inside of the case has a glossy coating applied to it so it wont scratch the phone.
-The cost of the case is $25 plus shipping which is about $35 total price, I know it is expensive but well worth it
-The color is very bright and vibrant which screams quality paint
I have posted some pictures of the case to look at, sorry the picture colors are kinda dull. I used my crappy C902 camera. But the colors are vibrant as the stock photo which you can see from the official website below
http://www.ray-out.co.jp/products/se10c2/index.html
I highly recommend the case for every owner, it will breath a new life to your X10, its like a brand new phone
feel free to ask any questions

I tried to order the RT-SE10C3/B model from them before but when I reached the payment and shipment options it was all in Japanese, and couldn't understand anything ..
Is it available in any other (English) store?
Amazon Japan doesn't ship it internationally, and it's not on eBay ..

The store has a step by step guide with pictures for international customers. I just followed this guide it is easy to follow
http://event.rakuten.co.jp/borderless/guide/flow/en/
RT-SE10C3/B is the older model, they use rubberizes material instead of glossy, my brother has one, but the new version RT-SE10C1 has better quality in my opinion

That is a really sharp looking case. Thanks for the review, I think i'll order one.
Which color do you think would look best with white?

I would say Ocean Blue (RT-SE10C2/N) or Red Metallic (RT-SE10C2/R)

lots of these on ebay at a fraction of the price. Mine cost a couple of dollars with free postage

Clear was my 2nd choice of purchase, but I wanted to add more color to the X10, it looks like a giant version of X10 mini red but very bright red.
ill try to post better pics of the case, cause these colors are not doing it justice

i've tried clear cases like this before and the only thing i ever notice about them is the large amount of dirt/dust that accumulates between the case and phone. and HEY it's CLEAR! so everyone gets to enjoy it just like you ... my two cents...

I clear case "white" or is it see through...i have a black x10..and would like a white case...any recommendations?

Its clear "see through" just google image RT-SE10C2/C and you will get a better idea about it
Since you have the block model I would recommend the red metallic color it matches it perfectly!

Yea, i was looking at that too...it looks nice...but might be a bit flashy...haha
EDIT: @ Kbadone - How long did it take for the case to arrive? And where are you from?
Thanks

C2 is glossy and brighter color, while C1 has mate finish with rubberized matetial. I thought the C1 model was good until I got the C2 which is whole new story and better quality. So stick with C2;-)

Ordered new DBrand skin that was just released

These things look awesome! They just became available today. I ordered the black titanium, will update with pics after it is in and on.

I'm waiting for them to release Ferrari Red Carbon Fiber and ordering a custom. Actually been waiting forever for them to finish on the One. They had problems with the HTC tolerances. No other skin company can top dbrand's precision and quality. If you order a custom from them you can request a drawing and they'll mail a sketch to you too lol.

yeah dbrand skins are top notch.
I'll be ordering a 2tone blk/red leather custom with my GI Joe cobra logo.

Carbon fiber rear cover with devilcasr aluminum bumper for the win

I prefer icarbons.com for these types of skins. They actually offer front back and side covers for our phones. Plus the quality is superb. Currently have one on my iPhone 5 that has lasted me 8 months and no signs of failing. Just ordered one for my Htc one.

iCarbons is good, but unfortunately they don't have leather look vinyl nor do they take custom orders. I do like that they allow you to order the accent pieces seperately tho.

I had a dbrands skins on my N4, cut/fit/alignment was perfect. I now have a iCarbons on my One, fitment is just ok. I could not get the HTC logo and the camera/flash cutouts to line up perfectly. I ended up sacrificing camera/flash alignment for better logo alignment. On a TMo One.

I assume it wasn't enough to cause flaring in flash photos? I can't remember whether it was the dbrands or iCarbons developer that was complaining about wandering HTC logo placement across different phones.

Did a mockup and sent it along with my request so they've a better idea of what I mean when I gave the description of what I am looking for.
Just waiting to hear back from them for pricing n estimated completion timetable.

that's really nice, how did you design it? how much do you think this will be and how to do a custom request?

Custom designs are priced on a per design basis. I'm still waiting to hear back on the total pricing and estimated completion timetable. Ill post the price I'm quoted at one it has been determined so others can get a rough idea of costs. All custom order requests should be sent to [email protected]
the design was made with gimp using the photos they had up on their website for the device and materials. I'll gladly upload an xfc or psd file if anyone wants to come up with their own design to submit.
edit. heres a basic xfc/pdf to get u going.

So we'll get it next week?

I also ordered just the back, in black leather. I didnt receive any email today though.

I've received a email, the custom skin will cost 75$ which includes 2 layer of back skins for 10$ each, the top and bottom for 5$ each and the 15 $ per hour for the work of 3 hours. Seems pretty reasonable if you ask me, i'll order it around next week and let you know

Update. As above. My skins running me for $75.
For those that may wonder why they are so expensive, here an email detailing the breakdown.
We’ll first briefly outline the process for customs, so you can get an idea for why the pricing is what it is: We take a blank base layer, then assemble (by hand) a second layer using multiple pieces that fit together (like a puzzle) to form the design requested by the client. We charge 2x the base rate of a normal skin, as it uses 2x the material of a normal skin, and an additional $15 per hour in assembly time. We also provide multiple photoshop mockups of the design for your approval before we do any final cutting.
*
The base rate for an HTC One back piece is $20, as the middle back piece is the only custom part. The upper/lower back pieces and the front pieces come at the normal rate of $5 each and we offer you two sets in any two styles you want. In your case, you’d likely want them in either red, black, or white (the colors of your design).
*
From the looks of your design, it would require about 31 pieces and 3 hours to manufacture. This would bring the final cost to $75 (20+5+5+15*3). If you want to continue, send the payment via PayPal to [email protected] and email us with your delivery address once payment has been made. We’ll get you booked for the weekend and start on design mockups.

Mine was $65. Ferrari Red Carbon Fiber and Gold Titanium Spider-Man Iron Spider logo ftw. On my Nexus 4 I ordered one that was around $50. I'm thinking of getting wood texture for my next custom. This with the Red DevilCase will look sexy.
You can actually ask them to make a doodle for you too lol. If you look on their fb they show the sketches they've done for people.

They raised the price I guess.

I got a camelcamelcamel price alert on it last night when the price dropped. I was able to get an order in. It shipped this morning. I think they had 14 left in stock when the alert went out so it was a small number. None of the other colors dropped. Happy to finally get a case on this guy.

You can still order it for 9.99 if you see all the prices, it will show, but currently says ships in 2-4 weeks.

I got a blue one for $9.99 yesterday.. sweet deal because it's now at $34!! Thanks for the heads up!

I got it today, it's a sweet case except for the fact that it doesn't fit correctly, like most people with it complain of. The bottom left keeps popping out. I'm gonna have to shave it down so it just fits with in the space there without actually clicking in place. Thank god I didn't pay $50 or whatever for this.

80% Off Xtremeguardz

I just purchased a back cover for my Z3C and noticed that it covers the camera lens too. That's a nice feature considering so many have scratched their lenses.
And it goes without saying, I DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY! Just trying to share the deal I got.
http://www.xtremeguard.com/

I got in on this for another phone but didn't see anything for the z3c, otherwise i would have ordered something for the back
Guess my brain wasn't working that day, just found it. This will be perfect for the back plus better grip. Ive used these in the past with great results

thanks for sharing! just ordered one too!

does it fit with devilcase?

I don't see why it wouldn't. It's just a thin piece of tpu

These were so cheap, I purchased two of them. I've noticed that these films tend to yellow over time, and it really shows on a white phone.

Now that you mention it, I recall the yellowing from past use

I hope not, I really like their protectors; mainly for the back. However they do need to work on the yellowing issue as you mentioned.
Also they just came out with their spartan glass screen protectors. Really hard to say, what's going on but I'm not complaining
Will have to stock up on a few items just in case
Edit: Just went to their page and saw that they now offer lifetime warranty on their protectors, granted most will update at least every 2 years I imagine. So the warranty is kind of pointless; good marketing scheme though. Also looks like they are starting to offer more products overall. So I'm not sure why the low prices, maybe to stay competitive?
EDIT 2: maybe you are right, just reread the email and says "*Limited quantities are available in tempered glass and other accessories by XtremeGuard. These products will only be available while supplies last"

Sorry to double post but wanted this separate from my last post.
I believe this code is good for more than 1 use; so anyone wanting to use it on the site is more than welcome. I just ordered a bunch of protectors, etc for various devices we have.
price comes out to dirt cheap.
91% off 2-15 items storewide: BEACH91 enjoy! At this price, you can't go wrong
otherwise they still have their summer80 off.

Nice find! Thanks for the info.

Screen protectors

Black Friday sale at intelliarmor.com. Choose the screen protector for the OnePlus 3, and at checkout, in the coupon code area, put "intellifriday" and all you pay is shipping which is 2.99. Great deal.
Edit: Looks like you don't just pay shipping anymore, is just discounted a few dollars. Would change the thread title, but have no idea how to. There is no option for it.

Thanks fur the heads up!

Well, not in Hungary.

Nope, the US has the same discount, just -$3.61 discount and free shipping. I suggest you change the thread title.

Live in Texas, not free. There was probably an error with the coupon that made it 100% off and you probably picked it up before they corrected their mistake.

Didn't work here either, same as others, live in LA.

I got in before they fixed it. Nice!

Doesn't it come with a screen protector already applied? Only thing I'm looking for is a glass one, which I hear leave an annoying gap.

"This Version 2 Model of the Orzly Pro-Fit Screen protector is the newest updated model. It has been modified from its predecessor so that it gives you more room around the phone's edges, in order to make it compatible with a wider variety of cases."
Pack of 2 on Amazon UK £9.99 l. After watching the video it looks great.

So, there was a glitch, just got an email from them cancelling my order and offering me 50% off, which is more than I paid to begin with. Guess I'll never use them again.

Doesn't look bad, but I'm not a fan of protectors that don't adhere to the screen (this adheres to the top and bottom). Causes the rainbow effect, and doesn't feel as good to me. Personal preference, but for now I'll stick to the pre-applied plastic one.
