Just got two of these after seeing that the guy that makes (designs them) them actually is on XDA a lot and was very helpful while NOT hocking his product everywhere.
*UPDATED*
Originally the case covered part of the upper mic. I just removed the upper portion of the case and realigned it so the mic was centered when I re-attached that case. To easy. That was really the only draw back I had.
Pro's
1- Delivery was fast
2- Case was cheap (9$)
3- Shipping was (5$ for both)
4- Case is VERY low profile
5- Mat Black is oh so smooth and the front rim is a nice glossy black with more grip to it. This is nice as it makes it easy to hang on to.
6- Back design icon is cool looking
7- Kick stand still easy to access
8- Nice port access
9- Doesn't pull my Zagg Invishield HD screen cover off
10- Easy to get on and off
11- Doesn't scratch my phones finish
12- VERY light weight
13- Mat black with red highlights of the phone looks very sexy and pro
14- phone still fits in my pocket easily and doesn't collect dust etc.
15- Snug fit on the phone
16- Bezel is high enough on the front that my phone screen doesn't touch anything when laid on its face.
17- Camera is protected by slight bezel around it.
18- No "case buttons"...you still access the phones buttons which are nice
Con's
1- Power button is a little hard to depress initially but this is because the button is so high on the phones profile. Case flexes to alleviate this after a few uses though. I don't think this is the cases fault
2- Not many styles - My wife liked the Green Cruizer Lite better but not that much better. The android pattern on those cases looked cool but I don't know...after a while I do like the professional and sleek design of the Diztronic better. Plus the Cruizer Lite *looked* a little more bulky
mind attaching a pic?
shipping is only 2.50 on his ebay page.
good review
wish it came with a screen protector (thought it did bc it did with other phones, but it didnt).
note: you can readjust the case starting from the top of the phone to align the mic you said was covered. i noticed it blocked mine after reading your review so i took it off and readjusted the case and it doesnt cover it anymore
Mine doesn't block the upper microphone at all?
Neither does mine. Every port lines up perfect, just like on my RAZR Maxx and EpTouch cases.

Yeah I didn't even have to take the whole thing off...fix and looking perfectly.
*Updated Review*
Got mine in today and it fits nicely and looks good, I just have one main complaint about it....should of covered the buttons...after holding it in hand those holes in the case on the sides get annoying to me, and the thin strip where the volume rocker is, is so flimsy im almost scared it might stretch too much over time, or break...havent had a TPU case with buttons covered that the function was more difficult than the phone without the case on, so dont really see the reasoning why to leave them open now...
to each their own though i guess...
I received my cases as well today. Originally I liked the high gloss translucent one best because it just looks really sharp. After just a couple of hours though, it was covered in smudges and fingerprints(like anything glossy).
The fit on both of the cases I received are spot on. Snug fit, all my buttons/openings line up perfectly, and doesn't add much bulk. Simply great cases for the cost.
I will be sticking with the matte black one for the foreseeable future based on just the smudge factor.
Got to tell you - after listening to so many recommendations from the group here I decided to get the case and boy, I am so glad I did.
The case is snug with minimal footprint, all cut outs match perfectly (prefer this from covered) and the flat black matte just compliments the Evo. The kickstand is also easily accessible and it got here ahead of schedule..
Two thumbs up!
Got my case today as well. Now only if I had the phone to put it in....

Yeah case looks good overall, though I wish they had a version that covered the buttons and port so that the phone would be more water resistant (read: not waterproof, but at least ports/button holes would be protected from drippy hands at the least). Also, as people mentioned, it would be easier to precisely hit the various buttons if they weren't beneath the lip of the case.

Okay this is my first review so bare with me on this one. I purchased the HTC case specifically designed for the Rezound. Overall makes the Rezound a bit beefier feeling, but still forms the Rezound curvature. I would guess it expands the width about 1/8" and same with bottom. But none added to the height, this is where the case starts failing. The case was very easy to install by just simply snap it on. Fits very snug and hugs the contours of the phone around the headphone jack and buttons. It is composed plastic and a synthetic fiber material. The plastic case on the exterior has a smooth rubbery texture around the perimeter of the device. Inside on the rear of the cover is a stitched applied "grip" from said fiber. I'm not good with material but seems to be like some form of a polyester. Overall, a fair case until we start talking about protection. Included is pictures with brief description. Now for the bad, it is definitely not an Otterbox. With the case attached, all four corners are unprotected and susceptible to damage. The case itself stops short right at the top and bottom giving you minor protection on these two sides. The other two sides (left and right) are covered, but still have issues. The case does not come up even or higher than the elevation of the screen. The screen/bezel sticks up just a tad, but still not good. If the phone were to be dropped perfectly parallel with the ground screen side down, this phone wouldn't have a fighting chance with this case on. If no screen protector was applied, just sliding it around face down could cause unnecessary scratches. Now back to the back part of the case. The stitched "grip" has a couple flaws in itself. I barely took my fingernail over this material, and I could see the material ripping apart. Think about his sliding in and out of your pocket. Also, the stitched part is held down with some epoxy that doesn't seem to hold very well. Around the camera cover, the material was coming up just rubbing my finger over it. Not even trying to dig into it, just merely rubbing my finger over it. Overall this phone fails in a great portion of protection, and construction. The good is it still maintains the original feel of the Rezound.

This is the full rear shot the back. Just shows kinda the make up and construction of the case.
Just a quick picture of the HTC logo on the back of the case in closer detail.
Rear showing of the case around the speaker.
The camera area where I found the "grip" to seem loose from attachment.
This is the bottom side of the device, as show the whole bottom is exposed to potential damage.
A shot of the device and case from side. Kind of hard to tell, but the screen bezel sticks up higher than the actual case.
And this is a shot of the corner, and the exposure it has.

Hello,
Picked up a TPU case from Cimotech in Black, S style a few days ago and thought i would share my thoughts on it.
PRICE: You cannot complain about the price. Anything that is 1/3 of the price as the ones that are located in the store are a win. These cases really are the cheapest you want to go without sacrificing quality. Trust me, DO NOT get those full silicone $3 ones on eBay.
FEEL: The case is smooth for one half, and more plastic on the other. The "S" line is actually a design, where one part is straight TPU, and the other is a softened matte finish.The matte finish is very close to what you would get with the soft touch smartphones of yesteryear. The other part is also TPU, however has a more of a "sticky" feel to it. Also with this case, the sides are textured for grip. I cannot stress how much i like this. Under any situation, I have never felt like I would drop the phone with these grips. Definitely adds extra feel to the super slippery awesome phone that we have.
LOOK: To be honest, I always thought these cases looked cheap. Now that I have one, i would say that these S series cases beat the $25 ones you see at the Verizon retail stores without question. If your looking for something more rugged, I would look more towards otterbox
FIT: Super snug fit. Its almost too snug when putting my phone in there. However once its in there, there is no wiggling or gaps at all. the left and right sides tend to buckle when you pull them away from the phone, but that pretty much the standard for any kind of case like this.
BUTTON ACCESS: The buttons for camera, power and volume control are very tight. They work great and the tactile feedback feels better with this case than without it. I honestly never thought I would say that, however it does add a little extra press into each of the buttons. The Volume and Power buttons are both covered by the case.
Design: The case has a pre-cut spot for the SD/SIM door. This i thought was awesome, as some cases have that area sealed. The main, and really only negative with this case was that it covered the secondary microphone that's located on the bottom, back of the device. My recommendation would be that if you were to buy the case, i would make a hole (I don't know what method would be the best way to recommend) so that you don't loose the functionality of that second microphone. The phone will be expecting it, however I haven't noticed any call quality degradation so far.
Final Thoughts:
In the final tally the case is well made, looks good, fits the device, & the price is right, if it wasn't for the secondary microphone being blocked, it would be a perfect review for a perfectly priced TPU case.
4.5/5
Rob

Nice review. I have the VZW case with the kick stand. Its OK, I want a case with a clear back to show off its kevlar in all its sexiness.

Well I recently got a Cruzerlite Androidified A2 Case and wanted to tell you guys what i thought about it.
The holes for the buttons/charging port
The wholes for the buttons are cut out very nicely for ease of use. The power button is very accurate and very easy it hit as well is the volume rocker. The whole for the charging port, speaker and camera are cut out perfectly.

The Feel/grip
The feel and grip of the case is great, I never feel like i will drop it because it grips perfectly in my hand.
The Design
The design is very nice and creative. Really symbolizes that your an android fan. The case is very thin, well i guess every TPU case is. Also wireless charging is flawless with it.
The selection
Another thing about the case that I love is the amount of options you have. Normally a TPU case will have one or two colors to chose from which is white or black but this has a bunch. I received the green one, green isn't really my type but I can't imagine how cool it would look in blue or red.
Over all
If you like TPU cases and different colors or designs then this is definitely a case for you. Definitely a very nice and well put together case.
Here is where you can purchase the one I received:

Very nice. Thanks for the review and pics :good:
Just a little pet peeve. You might want to change "whole" to "hole". They're heterographs.

i got the clear one, and it looks fantastic on the phone. my only minor complaint about it, is that i would have preferred the cutouts for the power and volume buttons to be covered and slightly raised to make it a little easier to hit.
are you using a screen protector with yours?

sent from my DNA Employee Edition 04271
I figured I'd use the same format jonah1234 did for his review for easy comparisons :good:
I've had this case for about a week. It's a green one by the way so I wont bother posting pics since jonah1234 did such a thorough job :highfive:
The Cutouts
I for one actually like cases with the buttons cutout rather than the ones with the raised buttons, especially since the buttons are relatively flush and can be easy to miss. My only gripe with this case is that I wish that the cutout for the power button tapered off to the back similar to the headphone jack cutout and the USB cutout (see jonah1234's pics). This would make it easier to turn on the phone while holding it with one hand. This decision may have been made to help keep the case rigid since there is only a small strip between the headphone jack cutout and the power button cutout.
The Feel
I like the feel of this case for the most part. The clear parts of the case seem to offer more grip than the matte finish sections (the side "grips" and the android logo), which to me can be quite slippery sometimes. On the other hand the case slides into my pocket a little easier.
The Design
At first I was skeptical to get a green case, especially since I mainly use my phone for work. I have always had black cases. To my surprise, I've actually got more compliments on it than I have with any other case. I also like the android on the back as it adds a lot of character to the case.
The Selection
The amount of color choices (11 I believe) offered allows it to it appeal to pretty much everyone.
Overall
As someone who has always preferred hard cases to soft cases, I will say that this case is up there at the top of my list. It fits great and it gets the job done while looking good at the same time. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality TPU case.

Interested in how you fixed the buttons. That's the only thing I don't like with this case
Nice pictures. But...
I absolutely hated this case personally. Makes the phone feel huge and bulky, just cheap overall. The sides don't fit very well (bow out) -- flimsy plastic, buttons are a loose plastic mess, it's bulky and feels cheap. Just not worth the price tag when compared to other cases.
@Ellingsoc .. I'll have that video posted in a few days. You will love how much nicer the buttons become.
@Andromjb.. Was the bowing because of the way the bumper was seated on the tpu case? It took me a while before I got the fitment to be perfect because I didn't realize the two pieces weren't in place correctly
Can you explain it haha these buttons are driving me nuts
I really want people to go to the video for that info. But I'll PM you.

@Ellingsoc .. I'll have that video posted in a few days. You will love how much nicer the buttons become.
@Andromjb.. Was the bowing because of the way the bumper was seated on the tpu case? It took me a while before I got the fitment to be perfect because I didn't realize the two pieces weren't in place correctly

Could have just been my particular case as I applied it multiple ways, but it never fit 100% correctly no matter how hard I tried.
Bottom would always bulge leaving the plastic rough to touch while handling (on the upper backside area by microphone). Top was a tedious task of maneuvering the soft rubber backing to fit correctly without getting stuck underneath the outer plastic shell. Plastic sides were flimsy. Unappealing loose cheap plastic buttons which were always in the way.
I was always accidentally hitting/pressing the volume rockers or turning the screen off while just trying to hold the phone.
Just bad design, imho.
Try out a Ringke MAX. You'll see a major difference in quality and features for the same (actually cheaper) price point.
the way i put the case on was to first align the bumper and tpu perfectly. Then I would hold the left and right sides firmly and put the phone in bottom side first. Snap the top corners in while pressing the phone downwards to the bottom of the case. Works perfect every time so far!
@Ellingsoc .. I pm'ed you bout the buttons btw. Nothing shows in my sent box though. If you didnt get it send me a pm and ill respond to that one

I sent mine back a week or so ago.. I didn't really like the moto logo exposed and thought it could allow dirt/dust to get in between the case and the phone .. I went with a case that covers the whole back..

I have a clear back protector on my phone, then this case. Any dust or dirt that gets in will just mess up the plastic film

I would appreciate the info via PM also. Don't see the secondary video posted yet. Doesn't my seniority here afford me that?
Even in the pictures you have taken with your case, it is showing a minor glimpse of what I was experiencing. I think you may have gotten a better quality case from manufacturing or perhaps they have made stealth revisions since as mine was a lot worse even with proper applications.
See attachment below -- which was the rough touch edge I referred to from previous comments.
that really just looks like it wasnt clipped in fully. but i could be wrong.
And i shot a quick video of the button fix. will be posting it in maybe 20 minutes

It's just the way the case is designed. It goes on a bit too snug, so it leaves some parts a bit uneven which returns poor results and rough edges.
I'm not trying to say the case is terrible. I just want people to be informed of the certain flaws and quality before they end up spending $19+ while they have other options available for less.

I loved this case for my S4. I thought it actually made the buttons feel better! But for this phone...well let's just say I use a Rinke slim now.

that's ashame. did you try the button fix?
these are the cases I have managed to acquire so far
first photo left to right razer rugged, orzly leather folio case,orzly thin black ,orzly thin frosted, 2nd photo tudia case and razer thin. I'm currently using one of the 2 tudias I bought as they are similar to a spigen slim armour ruggedized TPU with a polycarb snap on back armour, anyone wanting full pics of the cases and how much each costs from where I'll be uploading pics of each case to my drive account so people can see before they buy there are lots of other cases mainly TPU appearing on Amazon, but for anyone who hasn't bought a case I'll try and get each one done over the next day or 2

how do you like the tudias? can you post more pics of those
I'm using the tudia with the silver back breaks up the all the black it looks good doesn't add much bulk , the finger print reader port has been thoughtfully scalloped away to make using it easier, the cylinder buttons work flawlessly, even with an orzly screen protector there's a good .5 mm clearance from it to the desk when face down and about 1mm all round when face down so the speakers are kept clear of the desk cut outs are precise good clearance on back to protect camera .

I just received my orzly case today and I gotta say I'm a little disappointed. I bought the "clear" one which I found out later was actually frosted, and unlike the pics show, it's pretty much nowhere clear clear.. You can see the Razer symbol, but that's about it. I'm definitely ordering the tudia clear shortly, my original idea was to wrap the phone with a dbrand then use the clear case as extra protection, but you ain't seeing anything through this thing lol

have to say if the clear is the same quality as this rugged case it'll be a nice case for showcasing your phone with a skin without damaging the skin

I bought the Razer Rugged case however was fine the fact that it left a weird lip at the bottom of my phone just didn't feel natural to hold so gone back to using the phone without a case.
I know living life of the edge but don't have a habit of cosmetically damaging my phone's.
I didnt like the phone in a case either but couldnt live on the edge any longer, I dropped my last phone a day before the delivery of my razer.
Ive made a suede case for the razor with all the holes punch out, its pretty neet - ill update with pictures when im home.
Got the Orzly wallet case. Not bad in general. One major downside is the usb cutout. Razer uses squared profile on their connectors, but the case had rounded profile which prevented original accessories from being inserted all the way. Had to do some carving with scissors. Not the end of the world, but could be better
Thank you

Just got my Spigen case it's the best case I own thus far and I own the Razer official case, orzly case, and the tudia case. Pick this up you won't be disappointed.
I picked up the Spigen rugged armor and it lifts the Razer screen protector
The Tudia doesn't lift a screen protector, but you have to get it centered perfectly. I've tried them all, the razer cases were the biggest POS's... Their rugged case was a joke and if you take them off without paying attention, you almost snap it in half because of their stupid design of having no side walls in the center area.
Been happy with the Tudia, still want something more like an otterbox defender. But I think I'm going to just 3d print something stupid awesome and thick.
I have this Orzly case in orange.
Fits perfect. Charging hole is big enough and the edge keeps the screen off the table if you put it screen down (which I never do).
Camera is also protected (if put on a flat surface).
Adds grip, so you won't let the phone slip out of your hand.
