I once saw a thread for a MDA cover, it actually goes on the fone, the pictures they had showed that it was white. goes on like skin i beleive it was made of silicon. and i saw it on here once and i want to buy it now but i cant find the thread for it. does anyone know where i can find it? or know of something similar that works good? thank you
I got mine at pda-den.
Thanks =)
i found it. thanks. but quick question the one on here has a clear screen. does it work good??
screen
It is a polycarb or plexiglass flip. It's fine, just prone to scratching like all the others.
Isn't there a version without the flip?

not that I know of.
I actually bought that MDA case and really had a tough time making it stay on (just the back part).
It appears that the back part is too small... I actually ended up breaking the little "anchor" that is supposed to clip on by the spacebar. For a while I tried to just tape it on, but ended up giving up... the case is just sitting in a drawer in my desk now...
overall, I was pretty displeased with the fit of the case...
Hi, this is my first thread so far I've been doing a lot of research about my phone, figured it was a good deal, and purchased the Tmobile version. I've been looking for a case even before I bought it, but it seems there isn't a perfect case out there simply because of the sliding keyboard. Well I was just using my TP2 about an hour ago and as I was using the stylus to scroll down in opera, I heard "SCRAPE!" ...my ears said "WTF!?!?! NO!!!!" and i quickly realized what had just happened. Never thought it was possible but whatever. Anyways, I've had the phone for 6 days or so and I plan to exchange it tomorrow.
This has definitely motivated me to find a case and screen protector and end the headache. So I've came up with the following from reading some threads the past hour, but I want to be sure before I order. So far I have this case

and these screen protector (boxwave Crystal or Anti-glare)

I'm still searching as I don't want to purchase something and regret it, but let me know what you guys think. I've heard good things about the plastic case, but overall I'm looking for quality, but no more than $45 for case. Much appreciated
EDIT: DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A SCREEN PROTECTOR IN THE BOX
I don't bite

It was 2000 the first time I experienced that. It was a palm m500 and a little piece of dust got on the tip of my stylus. I didn't hear it so much as I felt the friction, but my reaction was much the same. I haven't gone without a screen protector since.
As to the included screen protector, use it if it works for you, but you'll typically find better durability in popular protectors like the boxwaves you linked to or clarivues. The clarivue that I put on my Palm TX in 2005 is still on it, and still looks good.
The thing I worry about with a lot of those no name brand cases on ebay is how well do they really fit? The last thing you want is to have them falling off. I don't know if my fear is well-founded or not, but I didn't really want to gamble on it. But as far as TMo goes, I'm not sure what to tell you. Boxwave actually has a pretty cool soft case called the praetorian crystal slip, but not for the TMo version. Seidio seems like a nice quality joint, but they don't seem to make their innocase for the TMo version either.
Edit: I suppose you could check this thread out.
I had the acrylic case with screen protector and I removed it shortly after purchasing. The porblem I had is that the screen protector is superficial and although it works sometimes when I typed certain virtual keys another part of the screen protector would also bend down on my press and caused for a different near by character to be pressed. Eventually I got rid of it and just purchased a seperate screen protector.
I really am looking for quality though for a case, just want something that's not too big or will not hinder usage of the phone. I've heard a lot about the ghost armoring and all. I'm considering it, but that will not save a phone from a fall or anything like that.
Consider an all-body protector (such as zagg or bodyguardz), combined with a pouch or holster case that you remove the device from to use it.
This is my preferred method, so my TP2 is well protected when it's not in use, and I'm completely unhindered when I am using it (but still with scratch protection).
Note that the protectors need to be applied very slowly and carefully to make sure they're lined up well and properly stuck down around the edges.

I have the same clear hard plastic case and absolutely love it. I've tried the body glove case, and had some issues with sliding the keyboard in and out. I just use the screen protector that came with the phone, and the clear hard plastic case. No problems at all, though I still have to take the case off every once in a while to clean it, but you'd have to do that with any case really. Get a lot of compliments on it.

It really doesn't add much bulk at all. I did have the body glove case, and it definitely added a lot of bulk. I keep my phone in my pocket now, but it's def worth the buy.

So it fits alright eh? The bodyglove one didn't seem to snap on correctly, and all the other ones I've seen fit so tight that it tends to seperate the screen portion from the keyboard portion...no issues with fitment for the tmobile version? Can you post a picture of how it looks with the clear case?
I just ordered some phantom skinz, I'll report back when they get here.

I think it fits better than the body glove case. Plus, it looks way better. I've had mine for a while now with no problems. Even take it off a bit to clean it up, and no issues. Check my old thread out...Have pics on post #5.

I was searching around and could not find a gel/TPU type clear case for the G1...for those of you who do not know...here is one example of a Nexus One case like what I would want:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Soft-Case-TPU...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item746a91e417
I know they do not show a completely clear one, but that is the material/type of case I would like. It is not like a typical silicone case -it is slightly like a hard case being that it does not bend as easily and it is not floppy at all.
Any ideas?
Heres the problem that I see...
How would you open the keyboard with that cover overlapping the front of the phone? That would probably be the reason those style covers don't exist for the G1.
As my fellow Oregonian said.. Soft cases and a slide keyboard won't really work.. If you look at the hard shells you'll see how the screen has it's own little part that clips on.. soft shells wrap instead of clip on...
I fail to see why they could not have a separate piece to put on the screen...?
If there is no such case... then could someone recommend a thin, yet tough, hard case? (preferably clear)
soft cases can't clip onto the screen part that has to slide up...
but here's something i found with decent reviews for the other colors.. clear hasn't been rated yet

Yeah I understand what you mean and thanks for that info...but - I was thinking not of a soft case 'clipping' onto the screen but you could slip a cover over it or around it -I am SURE there is some way to do it....

LOL WOW THANK YOU!!!! How did you find that ? it should not be labeled as silicone (I think)..... wow that is exactly what I am looking for! I knew it was possible.... any way - I wish it didnt cost so much, the others I see like it(on other phones) is significantly cheaper (like under $5.00 with shipping included).... If I cannot find any cheaper ones I will order that one...
Thanks again, I cant believe you found just what I was looking for...

yea that case is rocking . I as well was looking for something like this! Thanks!! hey erebusting did you order it? did ya like it?
I ordered the clear one, and it came in yellowish like it was old or like someone was smoking around it or something.... the seller gave me a refund because he said they had no more, but I think that all the clear ones were just as yellow ? who knows....
also when you hold the phone in portrait mode on the top right and left corners of the keyboard section the case left a small gap on each side maybe about 1-2 millimeters as if it was slipping off...
Other than all that I liked it, but would not use it because it makes my phone look yellow / ugly... if I had a case like that with these flaws fixed then I would use it.

LMAO...Reading this was funny for some reason
Can you post some pictures? And would you recommend it? I am looking for a new case for my phone, and this one is one that I am considering
I had this case. I had a screen protector on, and the extra height of the screen protector made the screen portion of the case slip off. If you don't use a screen protector, it might work for you. I bought a Seidio case and never looked back. Super thin, rugged plastic. Comes in black so it blends into the phone.

zinite, I understand that, but see I do also have a screen protector on but the section of the case which goes on the screen is fitting fine, the section for the body is the part I have the complaint about. I will definately check out some Seidio cases now that you have mentioned that.
SolemnWishing, Here are some pictures of the case next to a clear hard case (which is actually clear and not yellow...)
Ace42, glad you got a laugh! haha...BTW I am wondering why you were laughing though, kind of odd to me ATM...
WOW! that case is really yellow. i was thinking about getting one thinking it wont be that yellow. but that is definitely gross smoker yellow
Dang... it looks like someone left that out in the sun for like a year or something..
Guess you know what happens to these cases when you have em for awhile... I've long given up on G1 cases: with a simple screen protector you should be on your way. I love the feel of the back of the G1, and a case would only screw that up.

I also love the feelings of the G1 without a case, but I have dropped my previous phones too many times to take that chance... haha
Any ways... Those pictures are from the same day of receiving that case, so it must be some fault on the seller....
its really a disappointment since there are no other cases (that I can find that is) like that for the G1...
any other recommendations/ideas?
Hi guys!
First off, no, I am not affiliated with, nor being paid by SlingGrip to write this. But I do want to share this great little product since I haven't seen anyone else mention it for this phone.
When I first got my Note 3, I wanted something to supplement the one-handed mode that would help me use the phone with one hand. I looked at a few different solutions, but the SlingGrip caught my eye because it was pretty inexpensive and made in the US. I ordered a purple one and waited while it and my case came in.
All the SlingGrip is, is a small elastic strap that you can hook your fingers in to give you a more secure hold on the phone. I got it, peeled it off the card it comes on, and stuck it right to the back of my case. It holds very securely with a 3M glue strip. It does add a fair bit to the thickness of the phone and keeps it from lying flat on a table, but this was a non-issue for me. The plastic and elastic strip feel pretty good, and it's such a simple combo that I don't forsee it breaking under normal use.
This was a godsend for using the phone with one hand. I ended up not even using the one-handed mode on the phone, with this I can reach the entire screen without feeling like I will drop the phone!
I just ordered a three-pack since I got a new case, and I highly recommend checking it out!

Nice. As someone with elfin hands, this looks quite useful. Looks like I'll be doing some cheapskate crafting later :3
Approximately how big is the mounting square for these things? I'm really intrigued by these add-on holders (sling grip, iring, flygrip, etc) but the UAG case I have has all kinds of funky grooves and designs on the back. :x
Yeah, I was turned off by the grooves on the UAG case for just that reason. I'm guessing that the slinggrip is longer than the center part where the logo is...

I feel like you'd be much better off just getting a lanyard. There are cases that allow lanyard attachments and they're a lot easier to use, just throw it on your wrist.

Lanyards don't help with holding the phone at all. All that does is catch the phone when you've already lost your grip.

I'm looking for a replacement back cover. I don't want to go with a case, it only just fits in my pocket, and IDK that I have a whole lot of mms to play with.
My problem is, my wife and I each got one, and they are both black. I almost walked out of the house with both the other day because I wasn't paying attention. If I could do something to differentiate the look a little, that would help greatly. I got stickerboy decals or stickers or whatever you call them, but I can't quite get it to line up (disclaimer: This is almost assuredly my problem, not anything wrong with stickerboy).
Any ideas on a replacement cover or one coming soon on the horizon?

I bought 3 battery covers from that website and they fit. Sometimes there on sale .gotta keep looking arround!
please hit thanks if i helped in any way. send from my g3 d852 beast
Wonder what the chances are if anyone would make an actual "metal" back cover..
I've seen these for the s4

or at least a soft plastic or wood or other colors...
same here!
I hate the cheap feel of the back cover so I was thinking of a skin but I would prefer a simple backcover replacement... I love the wood option on the OnePlus One... I'm still waiting for someone to make this for the G3
I just brought this phone and was looking for a Matt battery cover as i don't want a case too. use to and love the feel of my nexus 5 backing. anyone seen anything like this around?
edit: found this but is another layer. looks good though
