Has anyone purchased this silicone case from Amazon?
http://www.amazon.com/iShoppingdeal...2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1317307713&sr=1-2
I ordered one yesterday and I'm hoping it's better than the silicone case I got from China. It's ok but just a little loose. The picture of the case on Amazon looks different so I figured I'd give it a shot since the price was reasonable.
No, but thanks just ordered it. The targus portfolio case is nice for most of the time, but I'm looking for something for around the house.
It's already sold out.
I thought it might go out of stock after people realized it was on Amazon. As stated in my op - the one I ordered from China off ebay is a little to loose. The cutouts are great but I'm looking for something a little tighter.
I can't see the price since it's unavailable. How much did you guys buy it for? Was it better than Sikai's price of $17.00?
I'm not so sure on the design. Back looks kind of weird, Sikai has a grippy texture like micro-cobblestone. Also the Sikai case comes up around the trim of the screen farther than this one. This one looks like an iPad silicone case I bought a year ago that had this thin lip where the edges are and it would fall out extremely easily.
The Sikai case isn't loose at all, it might be based on when you bought it or what color but the clear one I bought is tight as a glove with literally no probability of falling out even holding it one handed. It's very well made.
Case is $10.95 and I have Amazon Prime so shipping was free for me. Maybe I should have phrased my comments regarding the Sikai case differently. I do like the texture of the Sikai case and how much of the TF it actually covers but when I go to pull it out of my bag the edge along the face moves way too easily. Granted it isn't loose to the point of it falling off on its own but it also shouldn't come out with a minor movement - only if I'm trying to remove it intentionally.

Added by edit.
The good thing about this silicone case is it also fits the keyboard dock, given you're willing to do some cutting. So, I got 2 pieces, one covering the tablet and one covering the keyboard dock. I'll post a picture tomorrow as I'm too lazy now.
Iso, when you get it can you do a review side by side with the Sikai case and point out the differences and faults?
Found what looks to be a knockoff of an Otterbox Defender that (according to the seller) fits our AT&T variant of the Galaxy S2. I've got one ordered and will report back when it shows up to let everyone know how well it fits. He has quite a few colors listed on his Ebay store, though I was boring and just went with black.

Yes please let us know how it works out for you. The one thing ive noticed with the knock-off otterboxs is the silicon skin is a little more plyable.
I've torn the silicon skin on so many "real" otterbox cases that might be a good thing. Especially since you can't buy just the silicon bits.
I contacted one of the ebay sellers that's listing a "not"erbox, about the fit and whether or not it has a built-in screen protector.
His reply: Thank you for your interest. Yes it does have a built-in screen protector but the quality isn't that great. Many of our customers ened up removing it. There is a very slight size difference between i777 and i9100 but this case will fit both.
I ended up buying the Seidio combo from Bestbuy for $34.
I take the screen protector off, too much dust and other stuff can get in-between the plastic protector and glass.
So I got the knockoff in...the case itself fits pretty well though it's obviously made for the international version. The biggest issue is how badly the belt clip attaches to the holster...if I dare try and rotate the thing it falls right off the clip. The built-in plastic screen protector on even the brand name ones annoy me, but this one annoys me more. I think I'm going to have to try out this particular seller's return policy unfortunately. I think for the price & low-quality build of this thing people should steer clear, especially now that better options are showing up for less than 2x the cost at major retailers.
Check out this case just like the commuter

That's the one I want
I messed around with one at a local mall store. The guy wanted $20 for it without the holster, but that's not why I passed on it. I thought it fit well enough, but the built-in screen protector was a waste of effort on the manufacturer's part. It was brownish, foggy and scratched (and that's after I removed the plastic protection). Seems like they could have done better with that, or just left it off.
The other problem was that there were no holes for the mic (near the headphone jack). So, I'll continue to wait... The Trident site states that there Kraken AMS for Galaxy S2 is "coming soon". Hope it's for the i777. I'd be on that quick.
I just talked to Trident on the phone, and they said that it's the Kraken AMS (the one with the solid exoskeleton) coming for the I777 next month (Jan). She said it was coming in all of their colors, too.
I have 1 of these it's called a ballistic case I paid 35 dollars at an at&t store and I absolutely love it. its it's very very snug anime iphone pills extra protective since I work in a warehouse and I've had a lot of cracked screens on my other phones because dropping them on the hard concrete. it does add some way to the phone as well as a definite notice and thickness. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to protect their phone. I'm positive this will last most users until the next upgrade.
In reference to this case

Although not normally a fan of cases for phones, I've now dropped my Atrix a few times (due to the hopeless shiny back with a total lack of grip) so I've decided I need to get one! Luckily, the Atrix has only been dropped onto carpet so it remains undamaged.
I don't like the silicone cases and I'm not overly keen on the TPU ones either. The 'official' rubberised battery cases looked like the right sort of thing, but after checking the reviews, I'm not keen on the way the side bits on the front can come loose when coming in or out of the pocket.
As I'm looking for something slim/lightweight, I think this leaves me with either the Seidio Surface or the Incipio Feather.
My questions is this: Regardless of the amount these cases protect the phone in case of being dropped, are they actually likely to help me to avoid dropping them? Do these cases improve the 'grippability' of the Atrix?
Any helpful comments are appreciated!
I used the Incipio Feather for a few months. I really liked the "low-profile" but it was very fragile. I ended up cracking two of them just from taking them off to do battery pulls. As far as grip goes, it was generally nice to hold but doesn't offer that much more grip then the phone by itself. I've also used the Ballistic SG and while it was too bulky for me it had excellent grip. I was able to put it on my lap, back facing down, while driving and it never moved.
Currently I use the Speck Candyshell and it holds up pretty well. Grip can become an issue if your palms get sweaty as the exterior is all hard plastic.

I had the feather. After two drops on different corners, the case had cracks. I expected as much and the case did its job. I got the Incipio silicrylic case as a replacement, which has a silicon cover AND a hard cover. It's slightly bulkier than the feather, but it still looks good and is definitely more sturdy. Case is grippy but not overly grippy where you have a tough time putting the phone in your pocket. I can remove the case without fear of cracking it, unlike the feather.
I had one of the Incipio Feather's also. It lasted about 2 months before it completely fell apart. Is is a nice case and I really liked the feel and look of it and it will fit in the car dock with a little modification. But it is not rugged enough for me to recommend. I am using a TPC case now. Does the job. Easy to remove to put in my Car Dock, LapDock or Standard Dock. It feels much better than the Atrix does by itself. But it is kinda ugly. But I have dropped it a few times and it keeps my Atrix safe.
The Seidio Active was my choice and I like it a lot. Two pieces - rubber with hard shell skeleton protects it nicely.
I can remove it (to dock) in seconds and replace it quickly too. Got it at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004WKIEF2/ref=oh_o03_s00_i01_details
That's the sapphire blue one, but they have other colors.
I'm using the otterbox commuter case. I got it off of Amazon.com for only 20 bucks on Saturday. So far it's been amazing

When talking about cases, would it be possible to mention (as some of the posts do) which docks these work with (I use all the docks...car, HD/standard docks, lapdock). Also a link to some site with the product or a good enough description that I can google it.
I hate to be a pain in asking for the extrra info, but I'm looking for a case now, too and don't want to have to remove it all the time (especially for the car dock).
Of all the experiences I have read about cases and their compatibility with docks, the only one that I have heard that works is the Incipio Feather (or somehting similar) when taking in the consideration of actually not removing the case.

Yes, I have read that people just simply remove the insert that is in the docks and it fits just fine. I have seen pics before too but can't remember where I saw them. Maybe I can try to find them.

Here is a thread about a mesh cover (which is essentially the Feather but with a mesh look) and the second link is a post of someone in that thread showing the Atrix in the car dock with the case on.

Here is another thread discussing (and maybe confirming) the Feather working with docks:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982574
The Incipio feather will fit in the car dock with the cardock insert removed, but the latch wont close. It has a ridge that comes over the face of the phone, but sits on top of the feather case. It will work if you make sure you have it inserted firmly all of the way in. I take corners pretty fast and had it fall out a couple of times. I modified mine to make the latch close pretty easily. Put it in the cardock and marked the outline with a X-acto knife. Used diagonal cutters to cut the 2 short vertical cuts. Scored the Horizontal mark with the X-acto knife and snapped the piece off with some lineman pliers. Now that these are $10 apiece I am tempted to get another one (or 2). Just was not worth the 25 bucks I paid 6 months ago.
Thanks for the various comments about cases.
I've looked at the various recommended cases and think I'll probably have to give the Incipio Feather a miss if it is as fragile as others have mentioned. I'm based in the UK so I'd have to order the case from the US (can't locate a UK seller) and this would cost me the equivalent of around US $ 45.00 which is a bit too much for something which won't last long!
Various other hard cases aren't available in the UK either (or not at decent prices) and, for me, the most important thing is to have a case lacking in bulk.
The Otterbox Commuter is the only one I get can get reasonably cheaply from within the UK (about US $ 20) but I'm not taken by the look of this.
Therefore, I think I've settled on the Seidio Surface which looks to have good reviews and will hopefully be the sort of slimline case I can deal with. I can obtain this via Amazon UK from a US seller for a mere US 36.00!
Incidentally, in the monster "Ruggedized battery cover" thread, there was mention that the Seidio Surface fits the lapdock and can be easily removed for the car dock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16600986&postcount=379
I don't own either dock so this isn't really of relevance to me!
I started looking for a discrete case for the same reason (battery door is way too slippery.)
There were some Chinese-made rubberized battery door replacements that seemed popular a while back. Most of the mobile accessory sites that carried them sold out, though I found and ordered one on eBay. The seller seems to have more:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Back-Cover-...ltDomain_0&hash=item415bd6c69c#ht_2880wt_1085
I just got my yesterday. Fitment is surprisingly accurate, no misaligned cutouts or anything, and the added bulk is acceptable. Feels much better in hand now, too, when typing in landscape mode. It takes a deliberate effort to free the phone from the case, as it has a couple of tabs that clip into the retaining slots used by the factory battery door. Haven't noticed it snagging or coming loose as it goes in and out of my pocket either.
edit:
I just noticed the "dock fitment" discussion going on in this thread. I can't say anything about this case + docks since I don't own any docks.
I fashioned a case out of 3M carbon vinyl wrap. Keeps that Carbon Fibre effect on the back case whilst making it much more grippy (never dropped it since) and much more aesthetically pleasing as it gives off a 3D carbon fibre effect.
I can post pics if you like
Also worth mentioning you can pick this stuff up dead cheap off eBay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/30x20cm-G...arParts_SM&hash=item4cf189dd66#ht_1792wt_1163
This sheet will give you a few attempts at it. It took me 2 to get mine the way I liked it
If you are just looking for grip without affecting aesthetics the Zagg Total protection is a great option. Clear is nearly impossible to tell it is on there. It is the same material and install as the screen protector. So no residue when removed. Make sure you read/watch the install tips from Zagg. I have been using it since April without a drop.
I have; however, decided to get a case and am trying the Seidio Active. The wife got the Incipio Silicrylic. both indeed fit in the HD/Standard Dock with the insert removed, I'm curious about whether there is enough support from the back of the dock though. As mentioned, I'm guessing the car dock will not close due to the extra couple millimeters, but will try it out and reply if it does indeed work.
Well, the Seidio Surface winged its way across the Atlantic reasonably quickly and I received it earlier this week.
It is very slightly bulkier than I expected but it is still very slimline so this isn't a problem as it still fits in my pocket easily. A little more difficult to take the phone out of my pocket than previously but again, not really a problem.
The surface of case itself isn't as 'grippy' as I expected, either, but it is a great improvement to the usual slick battery cover and I haven't juggled with it yet this week! I can now operate the phone using one hand if necessary without fear that I will lose my grip and drop it.
There are a few small imperfections on the back of the case - it would seem as though there were a few specks of dust or some other substance on the case before it was covered with the rubberised coating as a few tiny bumps can be felt. Not enough of a problem for me to bother returning it all the way to the US, however!
It is slightly tricky to take the Seidio Surface off the phone - it seems to come off easily sometimes but remain stubbornly in place at others. I think I'll need to practice taking it on and off the phone a bit more until I get the knack.
Overall, I'm reasonably impressed with the case and would give it an 8/10. It would have received a higher score had it not been so ridiculously expensive for me to buy here in the UK - Amazon.com are selling it at approximately half the price I paid!
Just ordered it tonight and will post pictures when I finally get it. That was my favorite case, with the standard battery, for my s4 when I had it. Slim, rubber inside, hard shell outside, rubber ribs for grip and anti slide on the back. It never interfered with a tempered glass screen protector, as long as you installed it perfectly centered in accordance with the edges of the frame, not the home button. It's on sale, this weekend, and I'm guessing until cyber Monday, for five dollars off and free shipping via USPS. http://www.speckproducts.com/smartphone-cases/samsung/candyshell-grip-for-samsung-galaxy-note-3.html
Nice find. I like Speck. They make quality stuff.

Never used a speck case before I like the design ..how does it. Compare to a uag or otterbox commuter in terms of size/protection?

It's similar to a UAG in terms of protection. One layer silicone inside lining, attached to the plastic exterior.
Different then a commuter with a wrap around silicone lining with a separate exterior hard lining
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
It's smaller than the commuter. When you install or remove it, the case is all one piece. The layers don't come off. Easy to put on or take off. Shouldn't need reaming mod for most headphones. Won't slide when placed on a surface back down. Good amount of lip protecting the screen and camera. The rubber layer is slightly harder density than rubber on otterbox.
Def glad to see it out for the Note3. I plan on ordering this when 12am hits for cyber monday from the Speck website. Just wish they had the white and black version like they usually do.
I had a Speck candyshell (non-grip) for the iPhone 5s and loved it. It was hot pink and white but it was only $5. Not digging the Spigen Neo Hybrid because its way to slippery for a phone this big. The issue I see here is that it's $40.
Edit: Speck has a holiday deal knocking the price down to $35.
Edit 2: The case is now $30 after 25% off.
I love my tech 21 for my note 3, but would be interested in the Speck. I like the candyshell over the Candyshell grip though
Looks like black is out of stock.

Glad I ordered mine before making this post. Hopefully I'll get it before Friday. I'll post pics when I get it. Lots of close ups so you all can see the details.
Previous reply was rejected. I'm not going to type out all that again. My pictures and a video turned out crappy and out of focus. Long story short. This case protects better than just tpu but less than otterbox defender. It's slender and fits snug. The same quality you can expect if you've ever owned a speck case before. Grip ribs help with sliding but won't make it an effort to get out of a pocket like a glossy tpu or silicone case. Quality of build and function I give it five out of five. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for. This case will definitely be my daily driver!

Tight fit!
They are better at excluding dust than any other case in my experience. If they used a plug to cover the USB/earphone jack openings they would be better than anything else out there for this kind of protection.
That's a good thing too as being harder to put on and take off means intrusive dust could potentially grind on the finish, etc.
Bad news for battery swappers though.
Protection is good, you can literally toss it at a brick wall repeatedly and not worry about damage or even the case coming off in between throws. The grip is also far better at not showing wear/scratches from sitting on tables, etc. like the normal version. The high gloss back of the normal version will reveal marring/scuffing of sitting on tables, countertops, etc. in relatively short order.
Bulk-wise they fall in between a minimalistic TPU (Diztronic, Bounce, Tudia, etc.) and UAG with protection on par with UAG.
Its asking price is fair for the quality received.
Just got mine today and fitment, quality, etc. is identical to past Speck products.
The buttons are covered, retain their clicky tactile feel and are no more difficult to depress than the naked phone! Fit is very snug, have not tried to take it off. It feels identical in hand to the candyshell grip that I use on my HTC one. It adds very little thickness, very similar to a TPU with far better drop protection. Even with a TPU I cringe if the phone slips, no worries here. Cutouts are well aligned and very tight. The S-pen cutout is quite tight requiring a fingernail to pull it out.
The camera is recessed sufficiently to prevent issues with setting down/dropping back first on a hard surface. The overall feel is it's well thought out and does not look thrown together like some other cases that were rushed to production. Worth the $$$ and I got another five bucks off ($30 total) by using a CNET coupon code. I always Google for codes when I see it on a website at checkout. Not sure if it's still valid and the black grip is OOS now...
Amazon doesn't even have this case (yet) and to get it for $10 off is a no-brainer!
Its a nice case i love the way the button, might have the best feedback but this case is worthless, within a few hours scratches will start to form and by the 2nd week you already want to replace because of the scratches. The darker the case the faster the scrtches will appear
I didn't notice scratches with my s4 and I had the case for months. Even so, it's better for the case to get scratches than the phone.

then you must carry it in a cloth because everyone knows specks cases scratch within like 1 day like they've been in a warzone. they are great cases but they don't keep the look.
$40 for that? Ouch. Looks like it should be $19.99 to me.
Yeah I keep mine in my pocket with nothing else in that pocket.
I never liked the Speck Candyshells. They scratch up like it's no one's business. They do look real good when you take it out of the package though.
Best thing is that they will replace their cases without any questions asked

Hi all! My first few days after having purchased my OP6T, I hopped on eBay and ordered a bunch of cheap and a couple not-so-cheap cases, mostly from China with slow-as-dirt shipping (why is dirt considered slow? Ever seen a mud slide? They can be pretty quick!) Well, the first case to arrive is this Mofi fabric case and it was one of the not-so-cheap cases (I splurged and spent $12 on this one).
I'm doing a very quick mini review of this case for now and will come back and flush this out with my own photos and all when I have more time when I'm not working. What questions do you have that you want to see answered in a more thorough review?
tl;dr summary
I purchased the "Grayish blue stripe" model because I wanted a low contrast difference from the top and bottom patterns. I very much like the results. This is a very nice case. Cutouts are spot on, buttons are clicky, slider is easily slid, and it feels great in hand! The TPU has a rounded smooth surface on the sides (reminds me of the sides of an Incipio DualPro case - that's why I use "rounded smooth" to describe it). I currently own the OP Nylon case and the minimal Karbon case. I already like this case much more than the Nylon case from OP. It seems to offer similar protection while being a tad less bulky.
The case itself is made of three materials: TPU (sides), hard plastic (back inside), and cloth (back outside). There is no microfiber lining on the inside, which is a little concerning (and my biggest issue with this case).
Pros:
Feels great in hand
Much softer "fabric" feel than the OP Nylon case, which doesn't feel "fabricky" at all
Nice tight fit but easy enough to get on and off
Nice clicky buttons
Not bulky. Much less bulky compared to the OP nylon case
Tight-woven fabric that I don't think will snag as easily as some crappy fabric cases
Definitely doesn't feel like a cheap $2 case - premium enough to justify the cost
Cons:
A little pricey at $12 for an eBay case but really not too bad
Sides aren't also fabric like the Pixel cases
Silver branding is a bit obnoxious (I haven't attempted to remove it as I'm afraid to snag the fabric in doing so)
No microfiber lining on the inside of the case against the glass
This is the listing I purchased from. The seller has a bad review history but it's because of his lack of review history and 1 bad review. When I left my positive review, it bumped him from 50% to 66.7%. That one bad review is b/c the seller misclassified a listing as shipping from the US and not China. Had no problems here since I expected it to ship slow as dirt. I explain all of this mostly because I was unable to find any other sellers for this design & this one looks sketchy as hell. I had no issues on my purchase, so there's at least 1 legit happy customer with him & he's not padding his #s with fake buyers!

Lol, I am that bad review. I specifically was looking for an American shipper so I didn't have to wait for a month to get it. I could have ordered 3 cases for the price of one from Aliexpress and waited the same amount of time. Essentially the dude is just drop shipping from china with a markup.
I love the Mofi cloth cases. They look and feel great. I have ordered one in every color available from aliexpress for other phones for like 5$ each.

Hah! That's pretty funny!
I agree, he's doing that. However, I couldn't find this specific design anywhere else other than this one guy's listing on Ebay. Seems to no longer be available there although I haven't since searched very long & hard. I specifically wanted this design, even if I had to pay a $7 premium for it.
Also, for the record, mine was clearly shipped from China and I knew this going into the purchase. So I think he might have had an honest mistake with the listing you purchased, although that's pure speculation. No trickery with me.
I owed one of this. Even though the case is stylist but it collect dust overtime on the side. I switch back to stock case and ordered bumper case from On plus

Which bumper case did you get? I have the Nylon case and I like this one SOO much more! The Nylon case is just too slippery for a fairly bulky case.
Can you share real pictures?

My first few days after having purchased my OP6T, I hopped on eBay and ordered a bunch of cheap and a couple not-so-cheap cases, mostly from China with slow-as-dirt shipping (why is dirt considered slow? Ever seen a mud slide? They can be pretty quick!) Well, the first case to arrive is this Mofi fabric case and it was one of the not-so-cheap cases (I splurged and spent $12 on this one).
I'm doing a very quick mini review of this case for now and will come back and flush this out with my own photos and all when I have more time when I'm not working. What questions do you have that you want to see answered in a more thorough review?
tl;dr summary
I purchased the "Grayish blue stripe" model because I wanted a low contrast difference from the top and bottom patterns. I very much like the results. This is a very nice case. Cutouts are spot on, buttons are clicky, slider is easily slid, and it feels great in hand! The TPU has a rounded smooth surface on the sides (reminds me of the sides of an Incipio DualPro case - that's why I use "rounded smooth" to describe it). I currently own the OP Nylon case and the minimal Karbon case. I already like this case much more than the Nylon case from OP. It seems to offer similar protection while being a tad less bulky.
The case itself is made of three materials: TPU (sides), hard plastic (back inside), and cloth (back outside). There is no microfiber lining on the inside, which is a little concerning (and my biggest issue with this case).
Pros:
Feels great in hand
Much softer "fabric" feel than the OP Nylon case, which doesn't feel "fabricky" at all
Nice tight fit but easy enough to get on and off
Nice clicky buttons
Not bulky. Much less bulky compared to the OP nylon case
Tight-woven fabric that I don't think will snag as easily as some crappy fabric cases
Definitely doesn't feel like a cheap $2 case - premium enough to justify the cost
Cons:
A little pricey at $12 for an eBay case but really not too bad
Sides aren't also fabric like the Pixel cases
Silver branding is a bit obnoxious (I haven't attempted to remove it as I'm afraid to snag the fabric in doing so)
No microfiber lining on the inside of the case against the glass
This is the listing I purchased from. The seller has a bad review history but it's because of his lack of review history and 1 bad review. When I left my positive review, it bumped him from 50% to 66.7%. That one bad review is b/c the seller misclassified a listing as shipping from the US and not China. Had no problems here since I expected it to ship slow as dirt. I explain all of this mostly because I was unable to find any other sellers for this design & this one looks sketchy as hell. I had no issues on my purchase, so there's at least 1 legit happy customer with him & he's not padding his #s with fake buyers!
Here are some stock photos of the style I purchased:

Which bumper case did you get? I have the Nylon case and I like this one SOO much more! The Nylon case is just too slippery for a fairly bulky case.

I got Nylon Karbon bumper case. Should arrive soon. Shipping take longer since I don't order from OnePlus store.

Mofi do quality stuff. Have probably had 30+ cases from them during the past 2-3 years. Highly recommended.
