Extensive Cruzerlite Androidify Review (gtfih)(pics)(gudstuff)(new juicy watermelon) - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

im extremely picky about things like this. first off, hands down, fully impressed. from the packaging presentation, to the quick shipping, and the product quality.
surprised noones posted pics of the packaging, etc from this company. bigs ups to murphreesboro.
Im really digging the droid "etched" designs. The overall feel is a matte feel on the back, glossy on the edges and inside the "cuts". In certain light the glossy cuts and edge give a very interesting appeal to the case. The raised edge around the camera is a big plus as you wanna protect that cam glass deep in there as much as possible. No problem popping out the stand, easy. All buttons are easily pressable, and the thickness of the casing isnt too much to make it a hassle or annoyance. Power button is properly cut with no overlaps. My monoprice cable fits snug and easily in the port, no trimming necessary with this case.
the fitment is very snug, i see no problems in the future of this getting loose or flopping off. The thickness of the tpu adds no incredible bulk, i prefer slim and sleek protection. Overall, supremely impressed. Ive put the xacto knife away, no cutting or modding necessary for this one. For basically $10, you cant go wrong. Imma grab a lime green one too!!
these following pics taken with the LTE
packaging, zip lock bags, business cards, etc. didnt arrive squished up or anything out of the ordinary.

update 6-30-12
got my new juicy green case in. anyone got a taste for watermelon?
i love ittt!! I'm soo diggin the green. its got a nice green glow around the edges in the right light. very hypnotic.
the blackness of the lte's back casing gives depth in the rear as the darkness comes slightly through the deep cuts of the androids, very cool effect

Did you buy if the cruzerlite.com or amazon and Why you no post links

Wow that looks like a cheap plastic pos.....sorry op nice review

I bought from CruzerLite directly, and used code "xda" to get an extra dollar off. $11 shipped I believe. I've never owned a case because I hate them, but this one is incredibly awesome!

How long did the shipping take?

I have a few...great cases.
Fit is perfect and they look great.
The power button takes getting used to but otherwise one of the best cases to keep overall size down and maintain the form of the phone.
I have the seidio surface holster which this fits into perfectly.

heres a good video review

They had a buy 2 get 1 free with free shipping last I looked, not there now Was like $20 for 3 shipped
Edit: Code is B2G1. $22.70 for 3 cases shipped!

I just got mine in the mail, and so far I'm very happy with it. It fits great, looks and feels like it could be part of the phone itself.
Cutouts are great, I have no problems getting to the keys, and cutouts still feel tight enough that I don't think they will collect dust under there. I kind of wish there was no cutout for the kickstand (since I don't use it), and I think that opening is large enough to trap lint and loose tobacco from my pockets.
The finish is pretty hard and smooth, though not shiny (as you can see from the original poster's pictures). Kinda feels like the back of Samsung Epic.
The ridges on the sides are great, the phone feels more secure in my hand.
Case doesn't seem to add too much bulk (subjectively, of course). Still feels very thin and light.

It took one week to arrive from the moment I placed the order. I placed the order on the holiday though, so that likely slowed my delivery.

So between this and the Diztronic, which adds less bulk/size?

I own both cases and i would say they are very similar. You cant go wrong with either case and neither one adds much bulk at all to the device.

If you do not have amazon prime I would get them from the brand store @ cruzerlite.com they offer free shipping after 25 USD for domestic orders

How many others had issues with their power button, constantly turning itself off when trying to turn the screen on, seems to get stuck, even though none of the case touches the button...

It seems it may be a defect in some of the back's of the evo 4g lte as it happens on other cases also . Here is a little info from the diztronic problem

FYI Amazon also offers free shipping on any order $25 or more, since it qualifies for Amazon's SuperSaver program (called something like that).

Cant wait to see a review on this. I had one for my EVO 4G and liked almost everything about it, but ended up returning it because the lip didnt come over far to protect the screen. Id like to be able to lay it face down, and not have to worry about the glass touch anything. Im hoping this one will allow that.
look at the camera cutout, doesn't look aligned.. =(

Thats not even a picture of the product on a real phone, could just be bad photoshop. Barely there sucks though since no lay on the table design. Whats the point? You drop it face down and your screwed.

Please do post pics and a quick little review once you receive it. I loved the fleaBay barely there case I kept on my Evo. I actually didn't even realize the "real" name of product as I stumbled onto the case on fleaBay and never needed another. I found the real product right before I sold my Evo right before I got my 3D.
Thanks!
ETA: I am currently using a TPU from TPU Cases and it is really nice. I'm just used to having some options and the thin snap on is one I really like having. The argyle TPU is a real crowd pleaser.
i just bought this one. I loved the Casemate barely there on my EVO 4G. I will let you know how this one works.

I bought this one and its just like the case-mate barely there case. It does have a lip that will protect the screen if you place it face down and its really slim. The cut-outs are all perfectly aligned. Its plastic with soft rubberized coat.

Hmm, sorry. Here is where I got the code from:
http://www.retailmenot.com/view/case-mate.com
It says its for "custom cases" (the ones you can put your own pictures on) so I'm not sure why it worked for my order.
I see theres a new one "july4" for 20% off, mysave10 for 10% off, cmretail10 for 10% off. Just look around
Case just arrived.
This is exactly, I mean exactly what I was looking for. It's just like the best case I ever saw, my Wifes Nexus-S case by MyIncipio, thier ultra slim "Feather" model, but it covers the top of the screen ever so slightly, where as the case for the ogEVO stopped right before top of the screen, which was dumb.
The feel and grip of the case is spot on perfect. Not too slick, not too sticky, but just right.
I hate bulky cases with a passion, don't want my phone looking like a thick bar of soap. Plus I has an OtterBox case on ogEVO and phone still cracked screen from a small drop. So no case can 100% protect you.
I am very satisfied with my purchase here. To me the perfect case.

Great to hear! I actually ordered one yesterday. 20% off coupon and free shipping we nice.
Thank you
This case looks exactly like one I got off amazon for like 8 bucks. The one I got is kind of a frosted look. I love how minimal it is while still having I think the best design for the camera-when its a big opening its not well protected especially from fingerprints. I just wish I could get a holster for it. The other thing the cutouts for the cameras are perfect and I tried an otterbox and they didn't line up near as good.

I just ordered it from amazon for $20 off msrp, but its not in stock there so hopefully they get a shipment soon. I've been waiting forever for this

$20 off? Amazon says $49.95 regular price $69.95 but these are listed at $49.95 on the Otterbox site, so did you get it for $29.95?? Just asking, need to know if I should order from Otterbox directly or wait for another deal on Amazon.

When I last looked on otterbox's site, it was still $69.95. So if that's changed then i may need to switch my order....
Update: yeah they updated it on their website to $49.95 and even threw in a free watterbottle! $53.XX shipped. Can't wait to get this.

Being an active guy, I've gotten a couple tiny scratches from dropping the view (no case BTW) and I've got to say that this thing is pretty freaking solid even without an otterbox. I don't even want to know what replacing the screen would cost though, and not to mention the free stylus sprint threw in if i lost it. If I break it then I get to justify buying the transformer prime LOL. I only paid $250 for mine new so I guess it wouldn't be too bad of a loss.

That's great news. I've always enjoyed Otter Box products. I think I just found my next case.
I just received my Otterbox Defender. At first glance it is very good. I'll be posting a review/comparison video soon featuring this vs. the Trident Aegis.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
My Otterbox just arrived. It's pretty well designed and, as is always the case with this brand, it's very sturdy. Can anyone else confirm that it isn't supposed to have a built in screen protector? Mine doesn't have one, and I was under the impression that it would have a screen protector like other Otterbox cases that I've had. It works for me, though, because I usually push the screen protectors off so I can use another matte protector.
Oh, and by the way, if you order from Otterbox right now, they ship a nifty free sports bottle with the order. My wife is threatening to steal that from me.
Pictures!!!! :d
Is this significantly better than those cheap leatherish swivel cases from amazon?
is it very bulky?

Looks nice, my concern for this case is the size. How is it? I like the concept but seems to add a lot of bulk. Would like to know how it is for daily use.

It just came in today, so we'll see how it is for daily use. It is almost twice the thickness of when the Flyer was in my leather Acase one (same style as the Blurex). It feels right, though, and is what the Flyer was missing in my opinion: a proper case. If you want thin and light, this probably isn't the way to go (Blurex/Acase is good for thin and light). I like this one a lot; the solid stand function and pen holder are very nice, it's not too heavy (though it does weigh more with the case), and it adds even more of a quality look to the tablet.

jscott30, thanks for the pictures of it in action! Mine should be here tomorrow, can't wait! I don't mind the bulk, as I have the OB for my DInc, so it made it a bit heavier and wider, but felt nice and solid. Got used to it quick, so I'm expecting the same with the Flyer OB case.

No not really, but waiting almost a month for something un-tested take the excitement out of it. I did find they are selling cheaper on the sellers site but the site is a little sketchy. Will post the link later.
One thing i did notice later is that the volume and power buttons aren't covered. Those buttons take the most abuse so having them covered would be nice. Still, I'm very tempted to buy a case.
My White Neo Hybrid is getting a little brown. I might pick up one of these. Just want a review or something first....

Ok, ordered this one: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax..._1_4?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334182757&sr=1-4
Estimated delivery May 8 - May 21 - I'll report back in a month...
EDIT: FYI the cost listed (if you buy it through Amazon) includes shipping - that's the total cost on my receipt, and S&H is $0.00
EDIT2: As of this morning, the order has shipped - expected delivery May 21st. So whatever the slowest shipping from the UK is, apparently...
If anyone's wondering, I looked at the website and compared the Amazon listing and their site.
This is the same as this.
It's selling for $14.50 on Amazon, and 9 pounds on their website--which is about $14.30 according to Google. The price from the site does not include shipping, another 2 pounds or $3. Amazon is definitely cheaper, since shipping is free.
These are nice looking. I think I will try one out. Thanks for sharing the link.
Arrived today - 9 days from order date - not bad. Pics attached, sorry for the quality - from a work BlackBerry.
Impressions - good fit, minimal bulk, but it gives better coverage than the Rearth Ringke slim I've been using, and feels like it would handle a drop better. The back plate just lies in the "tray", so I had to adjust it once on, but then seemed snug enough. All the ports and mics are open, buttons are easy to reach. Easy on, easy off - stiff enough I don't think it will stretch. Has a bit of a matte finish feel, so won't slide in and out of pocket as easily as the Ringke, but not sticky. Does hold the camera lens off the table, but the front rim is under the face so it does NOT offer any protection when face down.
My Ringke slim is cracking because I remove it multiple times a day to dock, so I think I will use this as a daily once that dies.
Any other questions?

How thick does it make the phone--I have a Casemate Pop and I absolutely hate it because it makes the phone really chunky and thick.

It's definitely there, but thinner than others I've tried - about like the Casemate barely there. The Ringke slim is the best really thin one out there, I think, but you don't get the coverage...
I can live with this - you can tell you're using a case, but it's not bulky by any means.

Rocketfish tpu case review

i don't know if anyone has mentioned this case before but i just picked one up since i saw it at my local bestbuy and i have to say, im loving this case. It looks good, doesn't rise above the screen very much at all. the smoke color kinda blends with the phone, there is a cutout for the kickstand and its easy to pop the stand out, all of the buttons are covered, and this thing fits TIGHT, it was pretty hard to get on but this thing is never gonna fall off and its good because unlike other cases, the part of the case on the sides of the screen don't flare out when your finger brushes them unlike a lot of other cases ive seen (not on this phone). one thing to mentions is that it does cover the camera button and from what i hear, other cases make it hard to use the 2 stages on the hardware button. this isn't that case with this case, i find it very easy to feel the camera buttons 2 stages so don't worry about that if you were concerned about it. overall 9 out of 10 for this case, only gripe being that it was kinda expensive for a tpu case.
will post pictures later once i get my old evo 4g back up an running after my sdcard transferring and whatnot i did yesterday since i just got this phone last night
link to the case: http://www.rocketfishproducts.com/products/mobile-phones-gps/RF-HSTSP.html?supportTab=open
24.99 for a TPU case?!
surely op will deliver pics.
i asked about the rocketfish yest.
if someone can get a good deal or sale/coupon code on one i think its worth it.
yeah its a little over priced but i had a gift card with 20 on it so it cost me like 6ish. and like i said. pics will come later once i get around to getting my og evo back up and running

I also picked up this case last week at Best Buy. I wasn't expecting to pick up a case, the cute BB girl showed me the case and put it on. I instantly fell in love... with the case. Sprint sent me the blue case protector. I liked the Sprint case, but it was too sticky. It was very difficult to get it in and out of my pocket, I also didn't like the color. I love this case because it's black, keeps the phone slim, and it is easy to get in and out of my pocket. I love it!

$3 is really good the $10 diztronic ones are pretty good too.

I concur. I too brought the Diztronic case and thats the most im willing to spend as well. I just dont see the point.... But hey to each his own lol.
I got one because it was the only other case best buy had other than the platinum case which I was returning bc it scratched paint off.
Shame bc I really liked the platinum case. This one is okay, fits better than any other tpu case I've had. The price is high though.
Thinking of taking this one back for a *gasp otterbox once best buy gets them back on stock...

Rocketfish TPU case FTW
I first bought the Platinum case at Best Buy and guess what the camera button does not work at all with the case on and furthermore the holster it comes with either turns the phone off or the volume all the way down depending on which way you put it in. I also put an Otterbox Defender case on my EVO 4g LTE in a Radioshack store and it is just to bulky. I bought the rocketfish and also thought it was pricy myself for what it was. However I really like it because it cover all of the buttons yet they all still work properly and the mics, kickstand, headphone jack and micro USB have openings that work well. The case looks awesome and does not.add to much thickness at all to the phone which leaves me with the only downfall of.the case it does not stick out far enough to keep the camera lense off a table. I may have to order a otterbox commuter after all but the rocketfish was really only supposed to be temporary anyway. I would recommend it though if youvcan rememberot not to lay it on the camera.

I just took a closer look and the glass for what is actually the lense cover and not the actual camera lense is actually recessed so if you lay the EVO on it's back it will only sit on the metal ring around the glass. I probably would not even do that much depending on what type of surface I am sitting it on. I read another guys review about three other you cases and he complained about the openings on two of them where as the rocketfish does not have these openings. It is a suprisingly good case. I usually do not buy Store brand items but I may actually use this thing for a while I think. I would go as far as saying there is probably not a better TPU case out right now for the Ltevo.

Cooler Master TF300 Folio Cover Overview (56k warned!)

Hi all, wouldn't normally post a review of something like this, but I think this is a particularly nice case for the TF300 (tablet only).
Cooler Master are a great manufacturer of mainly PC parts, and when I noticed this on a non-english language site in a review it got me interested.
After a bit of googling, I found it on the Cooler Master Mobile EU site, and it was priced at a whopping €39.99 with €10 delivery! (it worked out at about £45).
Anyway, its available in Silver and Blue (but the blue looks black to me) and I went for the silver.
It is very much like an Apple (boo, hiss) smart cover except that there is no automatic sleep with the TF300. It has a strong magnetic closing, and I would be confident it wouldn't flap open in my bag. It doesn't add too much bulk to the tablet, and feels nice and sturdy. The flap cover feels like it will last a while, and it lets you place it in a couple of useful positions.
With the cover in place and closed, for whatever reason it feels great. I would seriously just walk around with the tablet in the case because of how nice it feels to hold. Really nice and tactile feel with the textured fibre finish, and soft touch plastic.
It is tablet only, but it pops out easy enough to attach to the dock.
I've attached some pics (sorry about quality, light wasn't great in my room), which show off the really nice finish and the carbon fibre texture of this. It is definitely a premium product, and I am happy to use this day to day.

I saw this out looks really good. I might entertain something like this. I have a cheap case from eBay I my tablet now.

Oh my god it's beautiful! Too bad it's very expensive for me. I would be way too expensive, with shipping to Turkey. Thanks for the review
Nice case :thumbup:
Sent from my magic machine and written by my pet monkey who likes bananas and cream.
It's nice to see some cases for the tablet that are geared to non-dock users.
That is a gorgeous case.
You can order one from the Cooler Master website and ship to the US...but it'll cost you about $125 USD

Holy moly! I like the case but not that much. That's outrageous.

the CS of Cooler Master EU store is quite bad, sent email to them on friday but no reply until today, 3-4 days...acceptable? i dun think so
The item number for the silver and blue covers are:
C-AT3F-CTTF-BB (Dark Blue)
C-AT3F-CTTF-SS (Silver White)
With these I was able to find a local retailer for about €40 Euro or $53 USD with free shipping
Wow. That looks good. The problem is you will need to take it out of the case in order to dock it on the keyboard wouldn't you. Or is there some way to do that without removing it all?

I'm pretty sure this case isn't dock compatible and will need to be removed in order to attach the dock.

So am I. The annoying thing is that it easy to achieve with right shape/size cut out along the bottom (hinged) edge. I know because I took one of these from Amazon and cut it out with a craft knife. Not too bad as you can see from my review at that link, but still a bit more bulky and not as pretty as this one. I am not sure if you could do the cut out with this case, but I would not want to at £45, as opposed to the less than £10 I spent

Absolutely. This case is definitely not inexpensive. Still, it is one of the best looking I've seen for our tablet.

Actually having looked at the pictures on the Master Cooler website I wonder whether it may be usable with a dock. It appears that the bottom hinge of the front flap starts a a little way up the back rather than right at the bottom. Depending upon how far up it may be possible to still slip the dock on without removing the case. It only needs about 13mm or so from my experience with the cut out on my other case.
Could I ask the OP or anybody else to have a look please and see how far up the hinge does start. Or even better if they have a keyboard dock does it enable it to be used without removing the case??? If so I think I see some more money being spent!
Hmmm... if you don't get an answer in here you can always write the manufacturer.:good:

I just tired it and its doable but requites a bit of wiggling.
The back of the dock is a bit hard to press in between the tablet and the cover but it can be done.
Here is a few pictures:
