So I did a little research last night on the Gel Case Tmoblie is selling for the price of $18 around here in NYC. While they were all out of black (at least the ones I checked) I hit the good ol' Internets and found something surprising.
Amazon carries the same exact case for $10 in a plethora of colors that Tmobile does not offer.
The companies name is "Amzer". A person posted pictures of the case on amazon and it indeed confirmed it for me. It has the same look and feel (yah I know I did not touch it but it looked like it did.) as the Tmobile branded version.
I saw in the T-Mobile gel skin (Black) thread Aeson asked about the manufacturer. So here is your answer.
Indeed these are Amzer rebranded cases for $10 a pop at amazon.

Amazon
Amzer
Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: My research can be wrong. Amzer might have a slightly different case then Tmobile. Just a heads up before you buy and end up getting the wrong case and try blaming it on me.
so..
Usually ships within 1 to 3 months with free shipping or
8/3 + $4.99 shipping or
Now with instant gratification for $16.99?
I already have mine. This is what happens when you have no protection
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740619
But this is a good bit of information no less. I don't think it'll stop people from buying it in the store.
these aren't available yet (till the 3rd)..these have been discussed in other threads as well.. but some prefer being able to pick one up in store after trying it out
speaking of Amzer.. is it just me or does this NOT have a cutout for the speaker?!? lol

Yea I saw that but I thought I would provide the info just in case (no pun intended) wanted different colors because I saw a lot of people asking for different colors like white. I myself would love a white one. Also They have been pretty difficult to find over here especially the black one but I do understand where you are coming from. I will buy a black on from tmobile and a white one from Amazon.

Yah I don't know if those are final or pre production images but if not than that case is a total fail! It's very ugly too I hate how it covers the ear piece part.
but these are the cases you are looking for
I just ordered it yesterday. Since t-mo stores are all out of stock. Hopefully they ship soon or before 8/3 or else would suck.
I bought a black gel skin from T-Mobile and it's actually really nice. A LOT better than the blue gel skin I got for my myTouch 3G at launch. I got the last one at a T-Mobile store 20 minutes away from me (my local one ran out) and I was at another store yesterday and it looked like they just got a new shipment of them cause they had about 5 blacks and one light blue, which was kind of nice, but I preferred the black, so it looks like they're getting more colors in eventually.
Can anyone confirm that Amazon is actually shipping these, in spite of the "Usually ships within 1 to 3 months" statement? I'd really prefer to order a few things from Amazon together w/ free shipping instead of different vendors.
Between my wife and I we just ordered 4 different cases from Amzer. Originally saw them on Amazon but was turned off by the 1-3 month comment. Amzer says that they will be shipping on the 3rd and the price was the same so I just went with them.

How can you say this? They clearly are NOT the same case.... I love the one I picked up from T Mobile~
Nearly all of T-Mobile's accessories are re-branded versions of some 3rd-party accessory. T-Mobile just sells them for a lot more money.

True, but these are, in fact, different. Close, probably, but not the same.
I may still grab a white one, for when I'm just feeling something different than black.

I just noticed that amzer and amazon have both changed their pictures of these cases. The pictures that were posted when I ordered the cases last weekend looked identical to the tmobile case. The pictures that are posted now do not. This should be interesting to see what actually shows up on my doorstep.

Yea I noticed that as well so I added a disclaimer to the OP. So no one goes raging at me threatening to kill me lol.
I highly recommend NOT getting the Amzer case. I as well was duped. I ordered the white one last week got it in yesterday and I do not like it at all. The volume buttons seem slightly easier to push but the power button is not. It is very loose on the phone, like ridiculously loose. T-Mobile one is alot better.
I got the gray Amzer case today and I am satisfied with it. I mean for $10 its a good temporary case. It's not THAT loose. It does the job. For me the power/volume buttons are just as easy to press even though they are covered. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions though.
Took 3-4 business days to get here on super saver shipping.
anybody tried one of these cheapies yet?

Looks like I will be waiting for mine for awhile. I ordered a couple of the solid color jelly cases, which are in stock, but I also ordered a couple of the Luxe Argyle skin cases. Those aren't supposed to ship until the 17th. Oh well, I guess I didn't realize they would hold the entire shipment until they could fill everything.
My wife bought a tmobile case in the meantime, so at least I can do a good side by side comparison when the amzer cases come in.

yeah i ordered the one from amzer... talked to a buddy at a tmobile and he was "welll you can get it and just return it if you get the case with in 30 days" went home and saw amzer updated pictures.. cancled the order and just took the dive.. the case from tmobile is perfect i dont mind dropping 20 bucks to keep my expensive phone safe
Hadn't seen this posted yet anywhere...
T-Mobile is finally showing these cases as available for order on their website. Black, teal and a different chrome/black case that looks pretty nice. Still waiting for my Amzer black...sorta wish I'd waited now. I really like the look of these.
I bought one of these for my MyTouch3G last year, and thought it was the BEST case I've ever had for a phone. I'm desperately wanting one for my MT4G, but haven't found one anywhere online yet. Anyone know where we can get these? I bought mine on eBay for $4.99 and free shipping from Hong Kong, and I got it in less than 2 weeks.
Here's a link to a current eBay auction for the MT3G version so you can see what I'm talking about...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...0&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123#ht_5478wt_876
I agree, those are the best cases I've used. Had one for my original MyTouch and loved it. Hopefully they will get in gear and make them for the 4G now.
That's like the TPU cases others have mentioned, and been on the lookout for on eBay.
I like how they're flexible, but not plain silicon, and maintain the profile of the phone as much as possible.
I gotta pick up something pretty soon. I'd consider just a Phantom Skinz, but with a 3 year old who loves Angry Birds running around the house I need something that offers some drop protection.

i had been looking for these aswell. i bought one for my curve last yr from this guy. clicked this post in hopes to find that you had found them lol. i sent the seller an email asking about these for the 4g. ill check back in if/when he responds
How well does that case absorb a shock if the phone is dropped? I really like how its molded really well to the body-lines of the phone and doesnt look thick. Let us know asap when you do find out if they sell them yet! Thanks!

Dear cw54o,
we will be getting these shortly in the next 1-2
weeks

That's awesome news about him getting these cases in the next 1-2 weeks. I'm on my second T-Mo case, and I really haven't been too thrilled with them. Way too much money IMO for cases like these, and I'm considering returning/exchanging my newest one (soft rubber sleeve with white plastic backing) because the rubber attracts WAY TOO much dust.
These cases are STILL not available anywhere yet. Total BS!

There's Epik cases on eBay for the HTC HD7, didn't that come out the same day or about the same timeframe as our MT4G? If so, why hasn't there been an Epik case made yet for our phone?
i have no clue, but on a side note tmble has these type of cases at their stores. im tempted to get 2 of them. they have a sale going on 2accessories will land u 20% off and 3 will get u 30% off, but their 20 a peice....
T-Mobile does not carry the Epik branded cases at their stores. They don't have any cases that even come close to the Epik brand.

they arent 'epik' cases BUT they are TPU cases, which is exactly what the epik cases are. they have them for several phones including the mytouch 4g. if i go back ill take a pic and show you. if it werent for the price difference i would have gotten it. but yeah im pretty sure a youtube search would confirm it.
DCMugen88 posted black and clear cases today. I got black
awww daewond3r beat me too it i was too busy trying to figure out if i wanted clear or smoke blk and put in my order to post the link lol but here u go to those who are looking for it

Thanks for the link. Ill be ordering a few. Great prices! i was close to ordering some case on amazon for 24.99 + shipping.
Sucks that these won't be arriving until after xmas though.
Nice! Do you think the epik cases will still fit if you have the CF Chromatics on? My little girl puts a beating on my phone while playing with talking Tom . Ordered anyway, you cant go wrong with the price! Thanks for the heads up fellas!

Are these the bendable gel cases they had for the MT3G? It doesn't really specify that anywhere on his auctions, and the pictures make it look more like a hard plastic or hard gel/plastic case.
Hello everyone,
I recently got the 2000mah extended battery, the SGP glas screen protector and now I want the Hybrid Neo EX to compliment the set and shroud my phone in a threesome of consumerist goodness.
Does anyone know where I can get a Hybrid Neo EX from in the UK? I've looked around extensively but to no avail, please help, I am simply in need of paying the same price as a Hybrid Neo to receive half the protection.
Anyway sarcasm aside, any UK'ers, or intelligent non-UK'ers know any UK stores where I can buy a Hybrid Neo EX? As I don't really want to incur massive shipping costs and have to wait a week to buy one internationally.
Thanks.

I got my linear case from a uk supplier called keepincase but he is a ebay store.
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Keep-In-Ca...26600018&_sid=353051868&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322
Ordered on Sunday got it today.
Ok thanks, that's kind of you to send me the link of, but I was rather hoping I could get one in white. However it seems that there isn't a single white one in the whole of the UK. As I bought the glas in white it seems only right I get this in white as well. Come on, someone must have bought a white Hybrid Neo EX in the UK? Anyone?

I ordered one yesterday, it'll be here monday

One-handed use?
Can anyone who has received and started using their Blurex case please let me know how this case works one-handed? I can't tell if the cover will fold all the way over flat or not and it seems as if the clasp piece may make it awkward to hold on the left hand side. Any pictures of it fully opened would be a huge help!
Thanks in advance!

,I have the vipertek case, same exact case different name. It lays back flat when open. The clasp sticks out but imho it helps your hand steady it easier when using one handed, either hand feels good different ways of holding but comfortable. Don't have camera or would get a picture.
There are so many good cases sadly not available in Canada and if they are they are overly priced with shipping. So I have to resort to ebay.
So I'm wondering if anyone has bought the below cases?
Case One - For the price its seems like a good deal, but it has an extra flap that wraps around the back and I think thats going to come in the way when using the tablet.
Case Two - Seems like a copy of the MoKo slim case but it looks good.
The first case looks pretty good and only $1.95 CDN shipped. Might pick one up to try it.

I got the new N7 two weeks ago from EEUU, and now, just few days left to spanish release, where I'm from, there's still no portfolio cases available in my country.
I'd like to buy Poetic Slim because I don't feel comfy with leather frame ones at all, I'm touching it every moment when I slide my fingers on the tablet corners, and the MoKo is too expensive now (about 25$ now, I saw days ago at 0.99$.. lol).
I am looking for a folio case at 20 bucks or less shipped which have wake/sleep, slim finish and no frame... and all ebayers wants to cheat me about 15-20$ for 14-21 days shipping plus 15$ for 10$ amazon case (yeah I know stock problems but what a way to speculate), while DBrand "robots" sent the decal I bought from Canada for 3$ and arrived in ONLY 4 DAYS by ordinary mail :silly:
What do you recommend me? Wait till spanish release or try the second 7$'s one which seems like MoKo?
Thanks.
I got a couple cases from eBay. I've already received the S Line TPU case, which I paid less than $4 shipped for. I also won an auction for a white folio case which was around $1.50 with free shipping from China! Not expecting much, but I'll update when I receive it. Today was day 16, an the seller told me 10-20 days. I'm expecting it Tuesday, since Monday is a holiday.

I got my eBaY TPU s-line case today..Purchased it last Aug.29 for $4.99 shipped. its pretty snug and fit very well with all the ports all cut clean.
I like the matte finish with glossy on the back and the textured side of this case. i choose a solid white color than the transparent one. but i hope that this case stay clean and white.
after installing my extremeguard screen protector here it is.
I will always suggest Poetic Slimline. It has 3 year warranty!
