I made a video review this morning for the Droid X Argyle TPU Cases. I used a Droid 2 to record it, so the video quality isn't quite professional quality
For some reason on all the videos I've made on the Droid 2, the first 2-3 seconds have a high pitch whine in the audio. Anyone else had that problem?

Yes you can get them cheaper if your willing to wait a few weeks, but if you already have your phone that could be a costly mistake, as who knows how many times you might drop it the cheapest US seller I could find was selling them for $7.95 shipped.
i'll agree with that. get selling!
also since you do have them, couple of questions. are they a soft material like those silicone cases? do they have a rubberized finish so that they don't slide much?

They are softer then a crystal poly carb case, but harder then the rubber/silicone case. These have a smooth finish, so they don't grip like the silicone cases do -- which personally i like, since its easier to take out of my pocket. but others might like more grip. the main advantages i see to TPU over silicone is they don't sag like the silicone ones do, they don't pick up lint, and they are easy to clean.
Just wanted to let anyone who is thinking of purchasing these cases. Just got mines delivered, first off perfect fit and every hole cut out perfect ( headset,mics,speakers) its thin ( it feels as if It was naked to me ) love the texture and feel of it ) Fast delivery and Honest seller. By the way I will be ordering a blue one on monday . Thanks again for selling these cases ..

Glad to hear it! I love my TPU case. The design is so simple compared to cases I've used in the past (Speck CandyShell, SwitchEasy Capsule Rebel, etc). Seems to provide almost as much protection with 1/2 the bulk! Considering how big these phones are, slim cases are a must in my opinion.
yeah! i just got mine in!! i am very pleased with the cases! they have a nice grip but smooth enough to slide in and out of my jeans/dress pant pockets with NO LINT! thanks for the extremely fast shipping!
i have some pics of my new droid x w/case
awesome! 2 satisfied customers
Which do you like better, the clear or the smoke? I seem to be selling considerably more of the smoke then any other color. Not much demand for Red or Orange. Maybe come Halloween the Orange will be selling like hotcakes!
haha!! i am leaning toward the smoke! it's a nice dark color that matches the droid very nicely! and the argyle print is subtle on the smoke. I do like the clear though! its a nice change of pace. I can understand the low demand for orange haha. its a bold color! now all we need are some bold people!
I would totally buy an orange one if Verizon lets me upgrade (Clemson Tiger fan). My contract isn't up until next summer, but I got an early upgrade offer in the mail today on any smartphone. It's not showing up online, so I'll have to call tomorrow and find out if I'm really going to be eligible. The fine print on the offer says I must be 180 days into a contract, which I am. Will let you know how it goes!

I was thinking of marketing some of the colors to different sports fans earlier today. i put up an eBay listing with the word "vikings" in the title for the purple case. I live in WI so I should be able to sell some Red to the Badger fans! good luck with early upgrade. sprint lets me upgrade every year since I'm a preferred customer (whatever that means). thats pretty awesome if you can upgrade after only 180 days! do you have multiple lines on your account or something?

We have four lines on our account. Three of the four lines were listed on the package as eligible, as long as they are upgraded by August 31st. I have never received an offer of this sort before the X.
well that would certainly make you a "preferred customer" in my book! i wonder if they are worried about people jumping ship for the iphone 4, and are offering early upgrades? although you'd have to be a fool to leave verizon and their droid x for at&t and the iphone in my opinion!
still haven't gotten mine. phone should be in monday. perhaps case will be in then too lol. if not then i may just have to order for you. need a second case anyway for my car mount.
Wow, my new shipment arrived super fast. Shipped from Honk Kong at 11:00pm at night 8/3 and is scheduled for delivery this morning 8/5! Man DHL is impressive. Apparently they clear packages through customs in the air, logistics at its finest!
So smoke is back in stock... or will be in the next hour.
Are these the same cases as DCMUGEN? If they are will you be carrying the screen protectors too? I had already ordered my case before I saw this post but if you are going to carry the screen protectors I will order them from you.

I've been considering ordering screen protectors and selling them as package deal, but i haven't yet. No, these are not the same as the DCMugen cases, those have 1 large cutout on the back, which many people have complained about (I get people emailing asking to verify that mine don't have one large cutout). The ones I have have 2 smaller cutouts, leaving less of the phone exposed. Thanks

I got the same thing in the mail a few days ago, and stopped at a nearby store Wednesday. After talking to the salesguy for a few minutes I realized I knew more about the phones than he did, and stopped asking questions and just told him I would buy the Droid X and to please order one for me... But yeah, my contract isn't supposed to be up until like early next fall, late summer, something like that, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the notice in the mail! I have a Touch Pro2 right now, and I just hate it. It's my second WinMo phone, and the frequent performance problems just annoy the crap out of me (I'm running the stock 6.5 ROM just cause I'm too scared of bricking it), so I'm making the jump to Android.

I just got my DCMugen case and it does not have 1 large cutout on the back. It looks exactly like your case. I'm not trying to tear you down, because I would have ordered from you if I had seen this before I ordered from him.
DCMugen is cheaper (by about $4), but you will get your case much slower (took about 2 weeks to get mine from him).

I have been buying BoxWave ClearTouch Crystal screen protectors for all of my devices for years, and they are PERFECT.
No solutions, no bubbles, 100% clear, you can clean and re-use them, they are static-cling, they fit perfect, very scratch resistant, etc..
I have these on my Canon 5D MkII camera, my Droid X, and other things.
My Droid X has had the same one on for over a year now when I first got it and it is in near-perfect condition. No I am not a salesperson for BoxWave lol.
Although there are some accessories out now for the 10.1, the screen protectors are not yet. I emailed them and they said they will be soon though.
That FlexSuit case looks cool but I think it's similar to those really cheap ones on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200624247046&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I doubt it's the same. I am sure the BoxWave one is better quality and that the design is slightly different as they usually have higher-quality products. Similar though, yes...
Didn't see it anywhere on the site but do you know if they make screen protectors for it. If you say they are good and aren't to crazy on price, i'd be interested in picking one up.

Yeah they said it will be released soon. Ill be gettin one.
I just bought the armor suit in the mean time. When you get it post a review up on how you like. I'd like to know how it looks and feels.
Since all of the information here has helped me out substantially since receiving my tablet, I wanted to let everyone know what is happening with Boxwave.
I ordered "FlexSuit , Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7510, Smoke Grey - Qty: 2" for the I/O model (for a colleague and myself). The package took several days to ship and about 3 weeks to arrive in Vancouver, Canada. The package contained 2 x smoke flexsuits for the Xoom. Upon notifying Boxwave, I was told that it would be corrected soon by cross ship and Boxwave would reimburse me up to $5 USD since I would have to pay for the Xoom cases to be returned. I told them it was unlikely I could return these items for that little from Vancouver, and requested that they send a preauthorized envelope. The support person got back to me a couple of days later letting me know that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 flexsuits had been discontinued and that was the source of the confusion, and said preauthorized shipping from Canada was not a possibility. They could now authorize more than $5 for the shipment.
Anyway, I will have to return the shipment out of my own pocket to have any chance of a refund.
Does anyone know if the antiglare screen protector dulls the screen's color or output? I have the Invisible Shield, but has its corners messed up from the media dock. It also seems to pick up little "dimples" over time. For some reason, my Evo 4G kept getting the same dimples over time and done know what causes it.
I bought a couple of these a while ago and I've gone through the 2 that come in a pack (2 lasted me over a year) and they were the best screen protectors I've ever used on any phone. They are super clear and feel great on the fingertips. Does anyone know where they might be available? I ordered them from amazon originally for 13.99 but it's no longer available, and it looks like Spigen doesn't carry any screen protectors at all for the E4GT as they've moved on to more recent phones.
I'll be getting a new phone in about 6 months anyways but I'd still like to keep this one protected. It will go to my 3 year old son when I upgrade (he loves playing games on it) so it will be in constant danger of scratches! Haha
Awww.. nobody knows of another source? This was the best screen protector ever! I should have ordered a couple sets.
does anyone know if bestbuy or sprint has release nexus 5 cases in store? i called both and they said not yet or sold out.
I haven't seen any in my area. Even if they did sell some accessories, it would be like any other Android accessories sold at BestBuy... 4,000 iPhone cases, and 2 Android cases per model.
I wouldn't recommend paying for anything from them before doing a bit of research.
For example; I had a Seidio Active case for my HTC One, I got it online for $20. BestBuy had the same case (without the silicone insert) for $35... same kickstand, same cutouts, the exact same case minus the "SEIDIO" across the back.
I went to best buy and they didn't have anything for the nexus 5. T-Mobile did however. They had a tpu case in black or blue. I tried it, it was good. Just wasn't worth 25$ IMO. They were made by tmobile also. T-Mobile also had the Zagg screen protector for 30$. Way overpriced, but it was a must to protect my screen asap, so I bought it. It also comes with a back film for some reason. I did not apply that. Seems silly. I love the way the back feels. But I also love the way the screen feels naked too bad I need protection.
There's already a discussion on cases/screen protectors for the Pixel 3 XL. However, I'm not seeing much talk about skin options.
After watching a few review videos, I'm nervous about just how easily the matte glass on the back scratches and gets marked up. One reviewer even seemed baffled by how easily the back of his 3 XL got marked up, considering the phone was in a case from the very beginning. You can see him talking about it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzERR48mz6o&t=90s
With that said, even though I have a Spigen case and tempered glass screen protector sitting here waiting for the phone to arrive on Friday, I'm still very hesitant to install the case without a skin/wrap for the back. I went ahead and pre-ordered a DBrand skin that fully covers the back. But after talking to DBrand customer service, it sounds like the wraps won't be shipping out until late next week, at the earliest, since the first batches are still in production.
With that in mind, I'm looking to see if anyone else has another option for a back wrap, that they know of. I'm a nutcase about keeping my phones pristine, so at this point I plan on just leaving the phone packaged up until the DBrand skin gets here, even if that's still 2 weeks away. Unless there is another solid wrap option that currently has products ready to ship. I did check out SlickWraps but their site doesn't indicate how quickly they could get the product shipped.
Anyway, open to ideas/discussion.

Watch Austin Evan's review of the Pixel 3 and XL. He had it for like 1 day, and after 1 drop the glass back on it was completely shattered and broken. This is not a case I would personally just put a skin on it. It needs an actual case unless you are 100% sure it will never be dropped. I'm thinking like iPhone 4 glass breakages here lol.
I got the Spigen Thin Fit, and if that's not enough, I got a cheapo TPU case that should be a little better for shock absorption.

He's not saying he's putting just the skin on it. He wants to put a skin on it before he puts it in a case and is wondering if anyone knows of a skin that's available now.

Ah I mis-read. I thought he was wanting to use the skin instead of the case.
To answer OP's question, I used Xtremeskins on my Pixelbook, cuz at the time they were cheaper than Dbrand and more customizable than Slickwraps. They have a PIxel 3 skin, but it's still pre-order, and they're UK based so shipping took a few days.
I can't imagine you'll find much right now, since it's so new.

Yeah, everything I'm finding is still pre-order. So when my Pixel 3 XL arrives Friday, I'll probably keep it in the box until my DBrand arrives. Hopefully it will be sometime next week. I just think it would be a real shame to throw the phone in a TPU case and immediately scratch the back of the phone up, just from the case rubbing/pressing against it. I'll definitely be testing my ability to hold out while this phone just sits on my home office desk while I work all next week.
But in the end, it will be worth the wait to keep the phone in 100% "like new" condition. Especially for resale. I did this same thing with my OnePlus 6 (DBrand skin > Spigen TPU case > full coverage glass screen protector) and I'm now able to sell the phone for top $ since it still looks brand new.

Good call out. Just ordered one as well. Now I'll have to see if the DBrand or Slickwraps arrives sooner. Slickwraps did allow for expedited 2 day shipping for $6. I went that route. Hopefully that means I get it by Tuesday. But it will probably still be Wednesday, given the weekend.
I ordered a DBrand skin last week as well as one from SlickWraps.
DBrand hasn't sent any updates either but their website still says pre-order for their 3 XL skins. Hopefully that ships this week. However, I'm getting annoyed with SlickWraps. It's been 5 days since I ordered with no updates or notifications of shipment. And they indicated that they had inventory and were no longer on pre-order.
I'm going to ping SlickWraps support. If they say it hasn't shipped yet I'm going to cancel that order and just hold out for DBrand.

Just saw your signature that you went from the OnePlus 6 to the Pixel 3 XL which is exactly what I am doing (when it finally comes out in the UK)
I ordered both a DBrand True Color - Yellow skin and a Slickwraps Colorshift - Green/blue skin.
Slickwraps was ordered on October 9th and still says "Processing"
Dbrand was ordered on October 19th and still says "Processing"

Anytime you order in/around those massive sales they do (like 50% off) you can expect delays. I'd guess it'll be around 3-4 weeks

LOL! Good luck. I tried canceling my order yesterday, 6 days after placing my order with no updates, and they basically told me to screw off. They said they will not cancel orders unless the cancellation comes within 2 hours of ordering. I tried arguing it and said they were being misleading because they indicated the wraps were in stock when they clearly aren't. They responded with the exact same response the second time. I requested that they refund the $6 I paid for expedited shipping, at the very least. They even refused to do that.
I'll never buy SlickWraps again, because of this BS. If it wasn't relatively cheap, I'd open a dispute with my credit card company. But it's not worth it given the price point.
