Thought I'd post this, as I just found them and didn't see it posted elsewhere.
http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Rubberized-Clear-Snap-On-Crystal-Hard-Case-P88498.htm
Price isn't fantastic, but they do have better coverage for around the speaker/camera than many of the ones on ebay, best part is there is NO hole for the belt clip almost no one would use anyways.
Available in blue, which looks like a purple, red, which looks pink to me, clear white, and black. Shipping on the 30th.
I had one of those with the hole in the back for the belt clip on my Dash way back when, and hated it, stuff always built up in there.
They're all sold out. Do you know of any other sites that carry it?
Just checked again today, looks like they're back up again! Anybody gotten theirs yet? I've never heard of Amzer, looks like they produce cases for all sorts of phones, has anyone had any prior experience with their stuff before?
Thanks for the heads-up. Personally, I'm staying away from this. Last time I had the snap-on type cover, dust/dirt particles always managed to get in between the phone and the cover, and mar up the finish (was very surprised to see tiny indentations from dust particles... wouldn't such a thing require outside pressure?).
Any good silicone covers?

I ordered a red one, and will do a full unbiased review when it shows up.
Honestly, if it's PINK in person, I'm giving it to my wife.
LOL
Anyways, I've had a few like this before, I think Amzer is just a manufacturer of the items and usually sell them under other names via wholesellers.
I had one made by them for my old Dash, and it was beautiful. Metalic red, and rubber coated. How they did it, no idea.
I'll post a thread for Sedioonline soon, as that's the one I really want, and will need help getting it done. The Innocase/Holster combo is the best setup I've had.
So has anyone received theirs yet?
ive had my red one for a couple days now and i must say the color is unbelievable! its a deep dark read and then it has like a felt kind of feel to it. its really nice and it really doesnt make the phone look fat like other cases do. and the rubber makes it very nice and comfy and it stays in the hand nicely.
edit: dirt does get in between the case and the phone after a couple days and it does stratch the finish of the phone owe well gonna stick with it i love the color to much

Think you can snap a few shots of it? Open and Close, and where the scratches are happing?
Im also interested to see how the case looks in real life. Photos would be great.
Do not order from amzer terrible company
AMZER IS THE WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER DELT WITH I HARDLEY EVER COMPLAIN, BUT WHEN THEY SELL ITEMS THAT SAY IN STOCK AND WHEN YOU CALL THEY SAY OUT OF STOCK AFTER YOU ALREADY PAID . I THINK THAT IS BAD. I HAVE BEEN CALLING FOR 5 BUSINESS DAYS NOW AND EACH TIME IT IS GOING TO BE SHIPPED TOMORROW. SO I ORDERED ON MONDAY OF LAST WEEK AND STILL IT WILL BE SHIPPED TOMORROW TUESDAY OF THE FOLLOWING WEEK. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED IF IT DOES SHIP OR I HAVE TO KEEP PLAYING THE GAME. ITS ONLY 12 BUCKS AND IT SEEMS LIKE A NICE CASE SO I CAN WAIT BUT I WILL KEEP CALLING THEM ON A DAILY BASIS(BECAUSE I HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH MY TIME RIGHT NOW). BUT JUST BE WARNED THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS AND EVEN IF IT SAYS ITS IN STOCK ITS PROBABLY NOT. AND YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR A SHIPMENT THAT SUPPOSIDLY COMES TOMORROW. LOL,
Yeah after doing some searching, Ive heard some bad things about Amzer.
I think Ill just wait and see if Otter-Box ends up making a case.
reviews dont lie, this company blows. do not buy
i just cancelled my order today because again my order will ship tomorrow. they are annoyying how much they do not care about the customer. it really steams my noodle. they are trying to run a business and they are doing a terrible job of it.wait til next month the cases are suppost to start comming out in full force. screw amzer and there damm case. i will never do business with amzer again and strongly recomend you dont , and tell everyone you know not to either. unless your up for the round about they have prepared for you. they lie and so does there website. and they will just keep telling you tomorrow so they dont have to help you today.
Yep I just canceled my order with them I placed it on the 22nd and still nothing. I paid with paypal so I also filed a non delivered complaint with them just incase they try to stiff me with there so called handling fee of $5.
I'm about to do the same damned thing, as I keep getting the same crap.
Sorry guys, I thought I found something good. I'm getting pissed that none of these are out there yet. I'm starting a new thread, please help contact this company to get these made for us.
SO I emailed them and asked if my item had actually shipped, since several days ago they told me that...
"Your item will arrived today"
And...
"Will shipped today to you"
And they told me they were processing a refund for me now because of my emails.
Just saw it today. Otterbox is going to have a case for the slide!
Otterbox dot come and look under HTC cases!
I saw it about a week ago. Its a bit basic looking, but knowing them it's as tough as a brick s%!t house. I own several of their products and can vouch for them. Great products.
Looks good, the more aftermarket support the better!
Finally!!
My only gripe is $35.00 for a case is off the chain!
But seeing as they'll be the only manufacturer of a good case
for this phone I'll shut up and pay.
Same, i had an otterbox for my BB. It was kind of a race, who would release my case first? Otterbox or Siedio? Looks like Otter wins.
Thanks drazile, finally something of what appears to be superb quality.
I ranted and raved to them wanting a case and was told basically due to the split slider design that they would not likely make one. I went back and forth for a month or more. Then finally ditch my slide for a vibrant and now I hear this! Well its still a great thing. Wife has my slide now so I may get one for her if I can talk her into giving up that god awful rhine stone monstrosity she has now.
Direct Link
Still listed as coming soon, I put my e-mail in to be notified when it will be available so I will let you know when I get it. Love this phone, but it sure hasn't gotten the love from accesory makers.

This is definitely exciting. Been holding out on buying a case so I wouldn't waste money on garbage. Looks like I'll finally have a place to drop some money at.

does anyone know when this case will be available?
Body Glove.
I've been waiting for this too, but now body glove has one for 25 that looks better than what I see on the otterbox page. I dont think they are going to have a defender series.

Which body glove case are your referring to? Hopefully it isn't the one sold through tmo. That case cost a decent bit and was total garbage if you took the case off more then a couple times. The real problem with putting a case on a slide type phone is that there is nowhere for the case to get a good grip. They rely on these thin tabs that must be thin in order to fit in the cracks and not cause friction, but being thin causes them to bend and wear quickly when case is taken off repeatedly. So if you have a couple batteries that you like to switch between, a case is likely not for you on this phone. Im hoping this otterbox case will be different somehow, perhaps very high quality tabs. I would love to buy one for my wife but I certainly wont be a guinea pig after that pos body glove case.
bulkyglove cases ...
This bodyglove case looks to have a bit better coverage on the screen part of the slide than the one tmo sells. My issue with the bodyglove cases (besides the faulty tabs) is the amazing amount of bulk they add to the device ... too much to warrant a purchase in my opinion. The otter box case looks sweet but I am concerned the demand has not prompted them to make a production run. If you're interested in the otter box case please sign up for it at the site so they know the demand is there.
Just got the email, the MT3GS Otterbox case is available: http://www.otterbox.com/HTC-myTouch...tch2-20101022&cid=emu-lch-htc4-mtch2-20101022
Yep, that is correct! It's available online.

But it only comes in black! That's fine for y'all with white or black phones, but I love my red one. Oh sure, some of the color would show as trim, but.....
That's not really an issue. How hard is it to remove and replace?
Looking forward to a review when someone gets one.
So who's going to be the guinea pig? I'm extremely disappointed with the Body Glove case tabs. After a couple months, I'm down to one tab, lol.

That's a downer I just ordered one from Amazon, but the bonus was it was only 12 bucks, and of course I got the e-mail from Otterbox about 10 hours after I placed the order that it was now available.
Sent from my Rooted myTouch 3G Slide using the XDA App
Sorry archie. You might have better luck than I did. It would've held up better if I didn't have to pull the battery a couple times. It's a solid case though. I'm still rocking it with 1 tab.
So now that everyone's GTabs are on the way, lets focus on the goodies!
Im curious, whats everyones favorite cover/case?
I know I want the dock, but what else is a MUST HAVE? I've even read about a screen protector that improves viewing angle?!?
If you have any good suggestions, please let me know, post the URL for people to purchase etc!
Just received my Skinomi carbon fiber skin. Was very impressed with the material, looks to be the same 3M stuff that "dash kits" use in cars. 24 shipped on amazon. I've heard it sucks to install - but my tab won't be here until Thursday to find out
Right now I have just purchased the "Skinomi TechSkin - Black Carbon Fiber FILM Shield & Screen Protector" from Amazon (Skinomi.com has a larger selection and coupon codes can be found online), based on the reviews there and in a thread over here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904814) I believe is the best we can buy right now to protect the screen, I went for the full body kit as I have not yet decided on which case I will end with but will most likely be one with a keyboard so I can use it while in class.
I may pick some cheap capacitive pens down the road too just because you can get them pretty cheap and shipped straight to South America where I live
....I am a nOOb so can't post outside links yet....
I'm pretty happy with these...
Arkon Portable Fold-up Stand
Carbon Fiber ThinSkin in Black
CLIP - Folio Case
I bought a dock but didn't really find myself using it after I got it so I sold it off on eBay for a tidy profit.
I also had one of those cases with the built-in usb keyboard but found it looked way too cheap and didn't keep the gTab snug so I got rid of that on eBay for a tidy profit as well.
If you want a case with a built-in bluetooth keyboard I highly recommend checking out it2steve's web store for a case he calls the BlutO.
See link here.
As for a small bag to carry all of your gTab accessories, I recommend the Targus CityGear bag for 10.2 inch Netbooks. It fits everything nicely. The only negative about this bag for me is that the shoulder strap is not removable.
I almost forgot about the Skinomi Screen Protector. It is fantastic as long as you follow the directions and let the damn thing sit until it's completely dry after you've applied it (like 24 hours if you can handle it) and you will be rewarded with a screen protector that you can barely tell is there.
I would dearly love to get the BlutO but it's my understanding that it stays sold out.
So far I've ordered the dock from merimobiles, $42.75 with coupon code bienvenu
Needed the lan port for work since we can't turn on wireless due to sensitive client files.
Messenger bag from Bensoutlet dot com $7.98 shipped. Got one that looks exactly like this for my netbook from 1saleaday last year for $10 shipped and hope it's the same one, great little sturdy bag.
Lenovo usb keyboard remote w/ trackball, don't know if it'll work w/gtab or not but for $27 I can use it with something else if it doesn't.
Have a neoprene sleeve to put it in until I decide on which screen protector and cover.
Dern, why did I type all of this out? Now I know how much I've spent LOL

It has the removable shoulder strap and an outside zipper compartment. I can cram a pretty good bit of extra "stuff" in there, adapters, wireless mouse, flash drives, etc.
I have skinomi black carbon fiber skin.
Now I just need some protection for it.

Just wanted to tell you I'm loving your nym
Bought a tshirt for the bf a couple of weeks ago that had a pic of a pig amongst the clouds with the caption "With enough thrust, pigs fly just fine" Hilarious
To make this post legal (and to satisfy my curiosity) how hard are these skins to put on? I bought screen protectors for my nook that I ended up wadding up and throwing in the garbage, couldn't ever get them to go on without steeeenkin' bubbles that irritated the crap outta me.
*@clankfu: You're welcome!

One more question for you. Do you think that messenger bag would fit a Gtab with one of these cases on it? Or is it already a snug fit with just the Gtab alone?

I can't answer that yet because FedEx still has my gtab
But. I have one that looks exactly like this one that I keep my 10.1" acer aspire one netbook in (has the extended battery) and I am able to put the netbook in a neoprene sleeve and then into the messenger bag and it fits. So I bought another one for the gtab figuring it should work for that as well. If it doesn't I'll be really surprised but won't be out much money at all.
Hope this helps.

Gotcha. I'll give it a shot. Thanks again.
I picked this up and it looks great:
http://www.amazon.com/Acer-AOD250-1...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1299249594&sr=1-22
Very professional looking and holds the accessories fairly well. There is only the one outside pocket, so things just get thrown in. For under $20 (with amazon prime), who can complain?
I have a Wenger Swiss Army 12" laptop bag that I used for my netbook. Got it at Walmart for under $15. it too has removable strap and a side pocket too.
Anyone checked out this bad boy from belkin? At a whopping $8 it seems like quite the bargain.

Belkin is usually a good product. But here's what I use (in neoprene), just bought another two pack in fact:
http://www.meritline.com/flap-laptop-sleeve-neoprene-black---p-36331.aspx
Velcro flap closure, perfectly servicable and I've always been happy with them. Free shipping too, but you have to be sure to select that option. It does take a some time to deliver due to the fact that it ships from China. Also, these are a bit roomier than the usual stretch-to-fit neoprene sleeve. My netbook won't fit in that kind due to the extended battery.
What can I say, we wimmins love a sale ;->
I plan to wait to get my hands on the tablet (fedex will get it here on Thurs) ... play with it long enough to be certain I want to keep it ... and THEN ... shop for stuff. Else, getting rid of the tablet and all those accessories will be an humbling experience.
BTW, my CC. has a program where they will take back a product if the store does not accept it back. I hope I don't resort to it in this case.
I just got a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and I've had good luck with Skinomi skins on other devices so I went shopping. I was about to buy off their site when I found them on sale at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechSkin-Protector-Lifetime-Warranty/dp/B007US84S0/
At 95 cents I thought it was a typo and they'd cancel the order. It came in the mail Saturday. Full kit with the tube, the solution, the cloth, and the little rubber wedge. It has the holes for the camera and the light sensor. I have not put it on yet, but it looks like all the other Skinomi skins I've put in.
If you haven't used these they are GREAT (and I don't work for Skinomi). These are the kind you put on wet. You can't use your device for a day or so after you put it on and it will look TERRIBLE at first. But after all the water dries out it is totally invisible unless you find an edge. If you get a little ding in it, the ding will heal itself over time unless the ding is white. If you have a white ding, they will send you another one and you have to return the one you take off. As long as you return them (after you get the new one) they will do this indefinitely (lifetime warranty). I've had one on my phone and gTablet for 2 years and never had to use the warranty.
No idea how they can be on sale for this price, but thought someone might be interested.
Sounds like a nice screen protector. Never had a nice one like that so I've always disliked them. Maybe that one would change my mind.
I want to order one of the carbon fiber skinimi kits that comes with everything. That's going to rock.
Im guessing it was a typo, I just checked and they are $15.95.
Although I think I'd still buy it at that price - it sounds good :fingers-crossed:

Well, I picked up 2 at that price on the theory that it was cheaper than getting a 2nd kit under warranty! I don't know if it was a sale or a mistake but they did honor the price.
I managed to get a skin/wrap ready for the OP5 tonight. It fits and feels pretty dad gum good, and has loads and loads of grip to it. You will be pleasantly surprised at just how good it looks and feels.
Ready to order now and will start shipping tomorrow.
Disclaimer: I wasn't planning on getting it done this fast, much less did I think I would be beating dBrand to the punch. But I knew people would be wanting something. At any rate, I will try to get an installation video up and running for yall in the next couple of days. If I don't, it installs just like all of the other ones. I also don't have any promo materials ready yet. So expect a skin in an envelope, until I can get the rest of my stuff done.
Buy with confidence. And thanks for looking.

I just have it in the states right now. More or less did the OP5 as a priority because I knew there wouldn't be a lot of options for people. But I am still a couple of weeks away from a full launch. Maybe someone will post the link. I feel kind of funny running around here making bs posts in order to do it myself.
No worries, I've ordered some from D-Brand and a case of eBay. Wanted one off Oneplus but totally sold out
