Purchased this on 10/02 from androidstation on ebay for $2.95 with free shipping. It comes from Hong Kong and received it in the mail today. It fits like a glove and has all the correct cutouts, including the secondary mic, and no Korean corner cutouts for the antenna. It was made specifically for the ATT i777. It also has the lip so you can put it face down without the glass on anything and the camera is protected as well. The buttons are not hard to push and there is enough clearance in the cutouts so any adapters and headphones can fit. The cutout for the extra mic is it's own hole and not just an extra large cutout. Sorry for the crappy pix. Best $2.95 spent for the phone so far.
what is the "feel" of this case? It looks like it has some hard plastic mixed in.
The hard plastic is actually more of a smooth rubber texture. The sides have more of a harder plastic feel even though they are a rubbery texture as well. The sides have tiny dimples along the side which enhances the grip and also makes finding the volume and power buttons easy since those are smooth. SO in the dark, just feel for the smooth spots on the side and you have your buttons.
Got the same exact one....
Not bad for $3

Was thinking of getting this case but didn't want to wait two weeks or so for it, so I went ahead and ordered another TPU case in the US. Blue Argyle. Should arrive here by next week and see how I like the TPU cases and whether I would want the similar designed case of yours, but in blue.
I bought one of these in white and it's a soft silicone rubber. The color is a somewhat transparent white, think of very watered down milk. I imagine it will be a bit of a pain going in-n-out of jeans pockets as it's soft and grippy and I imagine it will come off the phone rather easily during the process. I haven't tried it with jeans yet, but that's my impression. The case does come up and over the edge of the glass screen, so the screen is protected somewhat when the phone is placed face down on a flat surface. I don't think I'd recommend it, but it was less than $2.
P.S. Well it goes in-n-out of pockets ok, but the way the on/off and volume buttons are configured on this case, makes them far to easy to accidentally get pressed.
I also bought one of these in white, and it's a nice firm but flexible, TPU material. The color is a true white and fully opaque. It fits the phone nicely, and the holes all line up well. There may be a problem with the Headphone jack, as the hole is the same size as the hole in the phone and the plug may not fully seat, though the cheap headphones I have here at my office worked fine. Also it is somewhat evident where the mold comes together as there is a little bit of flash at the seam. The case does come up and over the edge of the glass screen, so the screen is protected somewhat when the phone is placed face down on a flat surface. All in all a pretty nice case for $4.
I also got a clear S-Line type TPU case from this guy for $1.99 delivered. Both form and function are just fine. It's a bit thicker than the other two, Has some grippy texture along the sides of the long edges. All in all another decent option.
Well I got 2 Mercury Jelly cases from this guy on ebay, not bad for $7.88 each delivered, but I did find them just a little cheaper the other day. The cases are nice, I got 1 white and 1 black. The white case is a bit of a warm white, not cool and bright. The black case is a deep dark black, and it shows finger prints very easily. All the openings line-up well and they seem just a bit over-sized, this will make plugging in the micro USB, and headphone plug simple and they're sure to get fully inserted without any interference from the case. There is a little flash from the molding process present, but nothing crazy. Nice cases, but I'm not sure they're worth nearly twice the price of the second case mentioned in my first post, which really is very similar to these.

Thanks I ordered one black and white a couple of days ago. Thanks for the review.
Sent from the TermiNOTEr! ;-)
OK, new case arrived today. This Plastic Case/Holster/Kickstand, for under $9 delivered, is of decent quality with a nice satin texture and feel. The snap-on back cover is typical of the plastic snap-on hard covers, in that the top and bottom ends of the phone are not really covered. It goes on and off the phone securely but without any difficulty. The holster will accommodate the Note in a basic TPU case as well as the delivered hard case, and probably other hard snap-on backs as well. The phone can go into the holster either face-in for protection, or face-out so the holster can function as a stand for watching movies etc. Not sure I'd recommend the holster for someone who is very active though. When I hold it with the unclipped side down, and give it a good shake, the phone will begin to slide out of the holster, but for regular walking around I think you're plenty safe. Over all a nice buy for the $
Another new case arrived today. This time a basic S-Line style TPU case in white (a nice bright crisp white), $2.95 delivered. This one is different from the clear S-Line I purchased earlier, it's a bit thinner, and the mold seems a little sharper, more defined. Installation and removal is firm, but not difficult, and the overall fit is nice and snug. All the openings clear the ports, but some of them aren't centered well (camera lense, flash, S-Pen), and that lowers the sense of quality of the case. Over all a nice buy for $2.95
So I picked up 3 of the Cruzer Lite Androidified cases from Amazon. They are running a promotion so the 3 cases cost me $19.80 or $6.60 each I got white, yellow, and clear green. The clear green is probably the coolest looking, as Andi really pops nicely. The yellow is a bit drab, kind of NYC Taxi yellow, not as bright as I'd hoped, the white is also not a bright white but a bit warm in tone. These are probably the tightest fitting TPU cases I've gotten so far. I'm not worried about damaging anything taking them on or off, but they're very snug fitting. They come up and over the screen glass slightly so offer that protection. I also like the fact that there is an extra little bit of TPU over the one corner that many cases leave fully open for an antenna on some versions of the note, offering 4 corner drop protection. The only criticism I can offer is that in general, the openings don't line-up perfectly. Nothing is blocked, but the buttons/ports aren't centered in the openings. A small quibble, true, but for a case that lists for $19.99 I'd expect better.
Well, I've got an update on the Mercury case. The inevitable has happened, my Note slipped from my hand while I was getting into my car and it hit the pavement. Of course, the first part to touch the asphalt was the corner that is open for the antenna on the Euro Notes. The damage isn't bad, not even visible with the case on it, but there is a small scratch/ding in the plastic bezel that surrounds the screen and a small scratch on the chrome where it meets the bezel, so I may stop using the Mercury case. It's a shame, because the Mercury has, in my opinion, the highest quality look and feel of all the TPU cases I've tried.
I've always been a big fan tpu of cases, and the Cruzerlite cases have always been some of the nicest quality ones. I called them yesterday to see when they are supposed to be up for sale and they told me in the next day or so. Woke up this morning and they were up. I ordered 3 for the price of two with the coupon code "b2g1". Not sure how I feel about there being cutouts where the volume rocker and power button is. I like the raised volume buttons on my verizon tpu case ive been using as my temp. I guess I'll let you guys know. These are pretty cool looking cases. Since I'm a new poster, I cant post the link, but maybe someone else will.

I posted this little review on Amazon, too.
I have been using this case for a couple of days now (the green one). At first glance, it is a sharp looking case. I love the Android mascot on the back cover, it gives a bit of style/uniqueness to the case. However, I could see how some might think it is a bit ostentatious for a phone case. The case itself is clear and tinted in the color specified in the description but the Android on the rear is a solid color (although the clear tinted areas darken significantly once the phone is in the case). And yes, the rear notification light does shine through very visibly (at least on my green one).
The case in pretty thin and does not add as much bulk as most other cases but it still feels solid/reliable. There are little ribbed strips on either side to make the phone easier to grip which is a nice feature as TPU cases can feel slippery to me sometimes. There are cutouts for all the major points of the phone (rear speaker, camera, headphones, etc.).
One drawback is that the buttons do not have molded/raised areas to assist in pressing them. Instead, there are simply cutouts where the buttons are. This wouldn’t normally be an issue but considering the DNA’s buttons are excessively recessed, they can be difficult to press with the raised case around them. Also, the headphone cutout might be too small for headphones with a large plug.
I also have a Diztronic TPU case and, for me, I feel like that one might protect the phone a little better. However, it also adds much more bulk to the phone (compared the Androidified) and does not have the style of the Cruzerlite. Overall, especially for the price, I think the Cruzerlite Androidified A2 is a pretty solid choice if you’re looking for a TPU case.
I am the kind of guy who likes minimal bulked added to my phone without sacrificing protection. Naturally I would choose TPU cases to achieve this goal and I have 3 types that I will be writing a short review on.
The first case and a longtime favorite is the Cruzerlite TPU case in clear. The fit is great, I wrote another OP about the case which you can find in this section as well. *To sum it up its tied for the thinnest of the 3 cases with the TUDIA, they have great customer service and make great cases. My initial case had a slight fit issue with the camera (only 1 of my 3 Cruzerlite cases had this issue) and they sent me a free replacement no questions asked! The headphone jack is large and the USB opening is small and will mushroom with the factory cable but that's no problem for me.
The second case is the TUDIA TPU case in 'clear'. The top and bottom are actually clear while the mid section is more of a frosted clear color. There are no button cutouts like on the Cruzerlite but instead molded buttons similar to the Diztronic. The TUDIA doesn't have a curve in the volume rocker like the diztronic but I like the feel of it better. The molded buttons have almost the same feel as the diztronic for those who like the molded buttons. I actually prefer this over Cruzerlite cutouts after using it for a while. The TUDIA also has the moto dimple cutout which is great because it makes a nice finger rest. I find myself missing this on the diztronic. Clear is my favorite "color" because I use dbrand skins on all of my phones and I want to show off the Nexus logo. I've used this case for about 9 days and it's holding up rather well. There are no noticeable marks yet and despite the many times over removed my phone to get dirt out it hasn't stretched out at all.
The last but not least is the Diztronic TPU case in black. The case is the thickest of the 3 only by a small margin. I don't have a digital caliper to double check it but I might go pick one up because they come in handy. The feel is very smooth and almost slippery. It reminds me a lot of the Spigen Neo Hybrid with a semi soft touch finish on it. There is no cutout on the case which kes the phone feel much bigger to me, but that's OK because the case is great. The headphone jack cutout is a little small but it fits my Bose headphones just fine. The USB cutout is small just like the other two and it will have a little "mushrooming" when you use the factory cable. To me this doesn't matter because I use my TYLT qi charger to charge the phone. The biggest downside to this case is the way it attracts fingerprints and oil from your hands. I mentioned above how this feels just like the back is the Neo Hybrid, well it attracts fingerprints just as much.... I still like the case and I may get a blue one to see if its less noticeable but only time will tell. In the 5 hours that I've had the case it's already scratched a good amount on the back from very light use. I'm rather disappointed about this, but I hope it will wipe off or blend in when I clean it tomorrow morning.
Overall I would buy all 3 cases again, but the TUDIA is now my favorite case because of the molded buttons and nice clean look. You can't go wrong by buying any of these cases.
Qi charging works on all 3 cases just fine. I tested it on 2 chargers (TYLT VU and my LG WCD-100)
Pictures of the ports, more pictures will be added in the morning.
Hey guys, back again with a highly requested review from my previous threads!
I received both the Fusion Bumper case and the Slim Stand case from orzly the other day, and I really like them so far!
Fusion Bumper Case
The Fusion Bumper is one of Orzly's high end case, and it has become one of my favourite cases for the OnePlus 5 so far. It is as the name replies, A fusion Bumper aka a mix of a bumper case and a regular case.
The sides of the case are made of Rubber, which slightly wrap around the back. This, paired with the dotted sides where your hands rest allow for great grip and protection. The rubber is tough and after a few drop tests is still in great condition. The back is made of a clear plastic, but it isn't a gel type plastic it is the type which doesn't yellow, similar to the one used on last years OnePlus 3 fusion bumper which hasn't yellowed for me yet.
The back corners of the device feature little raised points, which not only helps keep the camera off of the tables, but it also allows for the clear black plastic to stay away from surfaces as to not get scratched up. There is a nice lip around the front of the screen, and all my ports line up. The dash cable and my aux cable still fit into the ports nicely, and none of the microphone holes are covered up.
On the volume buttons and power button there is the + and - symbols, along with the power symbol which I like as it shows attention to detail. Orzly also split the volume up and down keys to make it easier to diffrentiate them.
So far, I don't have a fault with this case. It does exactly what I need it to do, is protective, feels like high quality and has a clear back that won't yellow easily. Its grip is great as I won't drop it when taking pictures anymore. If any faults do pop up, I will be sure to update the thread . Pictures of the case can be found below!

Slim Stand Case
Now this is a slightly different case for a different sort of person. I used this case for about 8 days straight so I think I have a pretty good idea about it. It wouldn't be my sort of case, but I can see the use cases for it!
First off, the material on the slim stand case is really nice. Its sort of a soft touch rubbery feeling which provides a lot of grip. At the top and bottom there are antenna lines which mimic the ones of the OnePlus 5 design so it made my phone look like a midnight black version which was awesome!
The ports all line up nicely, and the little ring at the back rotates to allow for vertical or horizontal viewing when up which I thought was very useful. The ring can also be used while you are using the phone or taking a call and helps to make sure you won't drop the device! As the name implies, it is a slim case and it means it. It feels like (besides the stand) like there is not case on which is great!
As for protection, this case really only offers back protection rather then screen protection. Because it is a slim case the lip around the screen is minimal if not none and if you are looking for protection, this isn't for you.
I can see this case being useful for people who sit at a desk all day or go on train/plane journeys a lot as you could just easily access your screen. However it isn't the case for me as I prefer protection rather then slimness. I didn't really like how much the stand part stood out at the back when it was lying flat on a table as it made it not steady and rocked. However thats part of the parcel, and like the wallet case this is definitely for a certain group of people!
