Whaaaaat?! You want a cover on TOP of your silicone case Evo? How is that even possible? Wait for the Otterbox dude. Its what you are looking for.

siedio case
yes the siedio case is what im looking for i like the case lke the otterbox with a belt clip but it leaves the sceen exposed... and i don't like that tanks for the info..... the siedio cas is what i'll prob. get.... thank you

im using silicone gel from sprint and over that when im at work i use a leather pouch also which i found on a local cel phone accesories shop, its not the best fit but does the job if i hit the corners of the pouch with a door or somehing the silicone will protect the phone.
only problem is it takes like 5 seconds to get the phone out of the case =( planing on getting one lil bigger soon

I'm going to say this as often as any one will listen, Seidio may make "okay" cases, but their customer service sucks. Pure and simple, is awful.

I decided to go with the silicon gel also and picked up this case: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290437641635&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123
I had one before when I had a Nokia E61i, which is thin, tall and wide. The Evo in the silicon should be a great fit, as it was too big for the Nokia. If you like, I'll report back when I get it (and it's easy to take your phone out due to a cutout in the bottom...)

found a leather case
so was at the mall and of course sprint didn't have a leather case that would fit the eve with the silicone gel on it..... happend to stop by T-mobile beacause they have the HD.... and what do you know there case fits like a glove with the silicone cover on.... its just the right size..... happy now....

Good deal! It pays to look in multiple places. I did end up getting my Krusell case and it fit very well, as expected. Another friend of mine saw it and decided he wanted one (I tested the fit with his phone.) I gave him mine and ordered another one...

Incipio Case Review

Incipio Clear Hard Case

After having the case for about three weeks, I think it is time for me to write a crappy little review of my experience with the Incipio Clear Hard Case.
First of all, I had many different smart phones and purchased all clear hard cases for it. So my experience with clear cases are above average, I would say.
Fitment
The case fitment is a 5/10. If anyone ever owned an agent 18 case for an iPhone, you would probably know how well that case fit. The case fitment was great, at first. I was a little too excited with the phone to realize the important imperfections of the case. This like many other cases is a slip on case, where the first imperfection is. I don't know if its the polycarbonate material but when the case is first slipped on, it will be scratched. This was something I expected from a slip on case. There is a small gap from the slip on joints. The left side of the case doesn't sit flush with the top of the case. (I will post detailed pictures later on) and the right side has a small gap. The small gap on the right side would make the case get loose over time. The biggest issue with the fitment is that the case is not a snug fitment. The fitment is very tight scratching the top of my phone when it was being installed and uninstalled. If you don't want your captivate scratched up on the top, don't even look into this case.
Quality
Quality is a 1/10. I had the phone for about a week before purchasing this case. Even with normal usage, the phone itself was never scratched. As for the case, it has scratches all over. Does this mean the case protected the phone well? Probably not. It just shows the build quality on this case is total crap.
Price
Price is a 1/10. I believe this case is way over priced for its craptistic build quality. The case clearly has fitment issues. Do I recommend this case to anyone else? Nope. Like most of the Captivate owners, I would recommend the body glove case or probably the Samsung Original cases.

That's why I didn't buy either case that the store had for sale. 30 bucks for what seemed like a decent hard case (which I later learned on this board is crap) was too much. Same for a 25 dollar silicone skin. No thanks, I'll just treat the phone gingerly until there are more options.

I bought the Clear Case first and was completely dissatisfied with it so I went back and exchanged it for the black case which I am in love with.

#1 problem with clear plastic cases of any kind is simply pocket lint... After a few weeks it'll look like crap and need to be cleaned whereas you can't see it on black cases.

I agree with this review 100%. The case is poor quality. I took it back the next day and went without one. I got the body glove from work for $3 with my discount, so i'm loving that, and I bought a red hard case off of ebay for $8 with free shipping.
It came from California to Texas in about 3 days. Plenty of options out there, including ebay, and daydeal.com (which i've been going there for a good while now.) But at the price of the incipio, definitely not worth it.

Samsung Vibrant Argyle TPU Case

Pics of my new argyle case from Daydeal. So far it's my favorite after using the T-mobile gel case and the Samsung OEM Blue & Black case. Don't get the OEM blue and black case. The black rubs off VERY easily exposing the blue underneath. Very poor quality. And it's too floppy, so I've pulled the phone right out of the case when I had it in my jean pocket on multiple occasions.
All cutouts align very nicely on this case.

canceled order

I have this case for my Vibrant as well... Got it at the T-Mobile store when I picked up my phone (I want to say it was around $10-15) Its a 'soft' hard case if that makes any sense. Its some kind of hard plastic with the outside having some grip. I got the dark gray color case which works out nice since you don't really see the argyle print when its on

hey, I'm not sure if this is the same, but this is the case I am currently using. I had previously been using the gel case from t-mobile and I also have the hard case from Samsung, but this remains my favorite. It comes in multiple colors, I am using the Orange and liked it so much I ordered a green. Cut-outs are perfect and adds little to no bulk to the phone.
check Amazon, under - Amzer-Luxe-Argyle-Samsung-Vibrant
Stay away from their Gel cases, total junk & I returned previously.
Hope this helps.

Yes, the Amzer case is the same as this one. Glad you are liking yours as well.

Got mine as a cheapy case until the SGP redesign drops. I knew I wanted a TPU case after reading about how silicon is a dust magnet, and I needed something a little stiffer as well. I searched for "Vibrant TPU" on amazon and found these for around 12 shipped as well. I got the orange one, for no real good reason... Fits really nice and snug, not too hard to take off either. The Amzer ones have a cutout on the battery door around the GALAXY S logo, I believe.

got the same case from handhelditems.com for i think $10 its the smoked argyle, I love it!

Any confirmed cases for extended battery?

Post a link. Thanks.

thats what im waiting on lol. no stores even have the media dock yet. crazy stuff lol. cases and dock still needed.

I got this on opening day and the holster part fits fine with the extended battery and the backshell off.

appreciate the link. mind posting a pic of it action? not sure what you/they mean by rear cover shell that you didnt install. pics would help many im sure

The middle pic, flat and solid with the clip, which is the part that covers the screen, is what remains. The pic on the right, with holes for the camera and kickstand, is left behind as it wont fit over the big battery. Pics in a bit...

That's not too bad, and with invisible shield applied to the back of the phone you would be doing pretty well. I purchased one of the generic invisible shield kits at Best Buy and cut out parts to cover the extended battery and the top of the phone. Looks decent.

Well that's not really a confirmed case, but I can dig it.
I was going to just get one of those gel skins and cut a hole for the battery. I'm more worried about dropping it and damage that way than just a place to hold it.. I have soft pockets LoL

Not 4 threads down

They sell these at bestbuy you can go in, open the package make sure it works etc.

i will be happy also once some cases come rolling out, hopefully soon

My Solution
I used/modified the high gloss silicone cover (VZW part VZW6400SILHGBLK) AND the holster that came with Platinum Series case/holster combo from Best Buy. It's similar as the Seidio Innocase II except is has Pt letters on the back.
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr3htmec-bk.htm
I ditched the Platinum case (for sale) and just use the holster. It works pretty good and the battery doesn't stick out that bad.

Pictures below:

That is exactly what I am doing tonight. I ordered a couple of the Amzer TPU cases off of ebay form a US reseller for $3.95 each, so I got two with USPS First class mail shipping for $10.40. They should arrive in the next day or so. I also have another case I am going to modify.
One thing I also did was cut a piece of the invisible shield protector and applied it to the back of the battery door so it looks glossy and protects the back from getting scratch to hell.

I was going to get an amzer silicone case and cut it up like i did for my incredible...i might go with the harder rubber one from verizon so it will hold its shape better....worried he silicone will be too thin with the battery and camera positions...

[Review] Noreve Perpétuelle Leather Case (Black)

Hi guys,
Posting a review this time for the Noreve Samsung Galaxy Nexus case. As anyone who's read my reviews before knows, I love my Noreve cases, and I really love my Gnex too, so this is a match made in heaven for me.
This is my 3rd Noreve case now (along with the N7 and N4 cases) and as always, Noreve do not disappoint. It's always good to see a company with consistency, quality control and a dedication to excellence. All three of my cases were packaged impeccably, and with the exception of my Nexus 7 case (which was a custom order) arrived lighting fast. The customer service at Noreve is second to none, but I doubt you'll have to deal with them.
Noreve offer a whole bunch of different finishes and tons of colours for their cases, which can be seen here. This is the first case I've gone for which is just the standard black finish, and I have to say I love it. Not too flashy, and brilliant in it's simplicity.
Here are some pictures of the box and contents.

And here is a picture of the belt clip which comes with the case.
While I am not personally a belt clip kinda guy, I tried it out just for the sake of seeing how well it was engineered. Installation of the clip is quick and easy, but my personal preference is that the case looks and feels better without the clip on the back. Still, it's good to have the option for sure, and it's even better knowing that it works well.
Here are some pictures of the case with the phone installed.
One thing to note is that the pogo pins are not covered. They aren't covered in the Nexus 7 case, either. However I can't really see a need for this since it would be impossible to dock while having the case on the device. Noreve should take this into consideration and just cover up the pogo pins from now on. It would be a little bit more protection, and perhaps less dust entering the case. Not that it's a big deal, but just an observation.
Some more shots where you can see the case open with the device inside. Not sure if the stitching will be seen or not, but it is pretty flawless.
And last but not least, some shots of the back of the case with the phone installed,
Actual installation of the case is very simple. Just slide it in from the top and you're good to go. Nice, snug fit. The leather makes it grippy, and also makes it feel fantastic. Sure, it adds a bit of bulk. But remember that bulk = protection. I'd have no fear of dropping this from waist height. The top section that also secures the case closed is also very secure - it's not going to open unless you want it to. And when you want it opened, it's not a hassle.
All in all, another outstanding product from Noreve. They have definitely won me over as a customer by providing me with three outstanding cases. Price you say? This particular case is 50 Euros in this finish. For me, that's not expensive. Remember, you get what you pay for. I've bought cases in the past which I still kick myself for. TPU cases, never again. Otterbox? Nope. Been there, done that. Failed on me in less than a year. I don't see how anyone can actually destroy a Noreve case, unless you set fire to it. And guess what? Since it's genuine leather, it won't even burn so easily, unless you really set your mind to it..
In conclusion, another outstanding case by Noreve. Their quality and customer service, to me, has yet to be matched by anyone.
Thank you for reading! :highfive:
