I used a Case-Mate case for my Incredible for a while (and had switched back to it from the otterbox just recently), and noticed today they have a case for the Thunderbolt. Shows in stock, but no picture, so I ordered one. Soon as I get it I'll post up some pictures. Hopefully it looks like the Desire case. Ordered it priority mail, so hopefully I'll have it by Monday.
They just updated with pictures.
That's a good looking case.
My shipping info shows it's coming from Atlanta, so I MAY have it tomorrow. I've been happy with my Case-Mate case for my Inc (I have the Otterbox Defender for it as well, for when I'm going out on site and need the extra protection), so I'm hoping this case will work as well.
Only issue I can see at all is the possibility of making a large phone too large, lol.
It also looks like they have raised up the power button, so it'll be easier to find in the dark, the one on the unit now is so recessed that I have a hard time hitting it, or even finding it at times.
Thanks for the heads up. I just ordered mine. I love Case Mate. I used to have one for my Blackberry and loved them. I got a Seidio innocase surface from Amazon, but like mentioned before, the power/lock button is hard enough to press, it is really hard with the innocase as it is in a hole. I am going to be returning my Seidio. Can't wait to get this one. I used this coupon code and got $7 off and free standard shipping. CM02-AR20
LOL, I forgot to check for coupons. Should have remembered that from when I got my Inc case.
Wonder if this one comes with a screen protector like the Inc case did? Won't matter since I ordered a Boxwave at the same time, but haven't gotten shipping info on that one yet..
I'm waiting for a Barely There version for my TB. Hope there's one out soon.
Just ordered mine with the coupon code. Thanks for the heads up. I like the white one.
Got my case in just a few minutes ago, and the only complaint I have so far, the power button is damn hard to press. It appears to be easier to find, but requires a pretty stiff press to get it to register. Volume buttons are easily pressed, so maybe it's just stiff. Otherwise the case looks good. I'll use it for now, but hopefully I'll find one I like as much as my old Casemate case for the Inc (which they don't even show on their page anymore). It was a 2 piece design, similar to the Seidio Active cases, rubber case with a hard plastic shell around that. This case is just one piece you snap your phone into.
At least the screen won't touch if you lay it face down, and it appears to be a PITA to remove easily, so swapping batteries out would be a chore as well.
Ok as an update, at this point I can't really recommend this case, it pretty much requires 2 hands to unlock the device. The power button on the case is recessed on the inside (like it would be for the volume buttons, since they protrude), and it requires the button to be depressed down into the shell a fair distance before it makes contact with the power button. I'm sure a shim could be placed in there to make easier contact, but honestly I shouldn't have to do that on a 35$ case. I'd expect it on a cheapie, but not at that price point. I've submitted a support request about it, and hopefully it will be addressed. Otherwise, I'd avoid this particular case for now.
With the case on, in my cardock, if the screen should turn off for any reason, you'll knock it out of the mount trying to turn it back on..
That's too bad, I was liking the look of this case. Let me ask you, is the inner case soft rubber and the outer shell hard plastic? This is what I'm looking for in a case cuz I used Seidio on my last two phones and dirt gets trapped between the phone and the hard shell and scratches the phone anyway. Unless you take it off daily and blow the fine dust out of it, it ends up scathing the phone anyway. I don't think this will happen with a soft rubber inner case. At least I hope not. Right now I'm using it naked so I have to find a case soon!

bummed because i bought one of the white ones. vzw conned me into one of their cases but told me to return it within 14 days. it is the uglier than all hell though
If you put a bit of plastic, or a couple folds of a a business card up in the power button on the case, it's not nearly so bad. I'm hoping that Case-Mate will address the problem, but with a shim in there it works ok (I can turn on the screen about 90% of the time one-handed with a small strip of a business card folded over 3 times in there). The case is all one piece, with the rubber part covering the entire inside of the case. The fit is pretty good as well, but the raised CM logo on the back is a pain (phone doesn't sit level because of it on the back, I'll end up fixing that with an exacto knife at some point). It also picks up fingerprints on the back side just like the screen does on the front, badly, lol. The pictures show it more of a dull finish, but it's most definitely glossy. I'll try to get some pictures of the inside of the case this afternoon.
After living with it for a day, I can say I'm 50/50 on recommending it, if the power button problem is fixed by CM on newer models, then that'd go to around 80/20 for it (I'd rather have it NOT be glossy not that it's in my hands).
Luckily for me I had just ordered this case and had time to cancel it (went though amazon.com payments). I am also going to email them about the issues and see what they say. If its a problem I will just wait for otterbox or another brand to come out.
Here's a few pictures without the phone in it (you can see the little piece of paper in the first picture up in the power button location). If you look at the last picture, you'll see how far the power button is recessed inside the case, I feel it should have either been flush, or recessed like it is, with a small rubber protrusion/bar that actually contacts the physical button (like on an Otterbox case, they make great contact). If they had done that, you'd have NO issues with that button making proper contact. As it is, without the shim in there, I have to actually use a fingernail to press the button DOWN into the plastic surround to make contact.
Heffe2001,
How is the case other then the button issue?
Fit is fine, it keeps the phone's face off the desk when it's face down. It's NOT going to pop out of this case easily, lol. If you're into changing batteries often, it may be a pain to get it on and off frequently. The back side also picks up scratches fairly easily. Other than that, it'll work till I find something I like better.
Unlike the Case-Mate tough case for the Inc, the case doesn't actually cover the screen protector I'm using at all, so I had an issue with it in my pocket where the screen protector pealed back a tad on the corner, but you can't fault the case for that (I usually don't stick a phone in my pocket, just haven't found a belt-case/pouch for this phone with this case that I like yet). Why couldn't they have made a clip holster for this case and sold it with it??
Just for reference, this is what I'm coming from on my Inc (I also have an otterbox defender I use when I am going out on site, need more protection then than my day-to-day activities).
(EDIT) Let me also say, once you have the case on the phone, it doesn't move around in it, it's a very good, tight fit. I don't think you'll get any scratches from it. It also has a good feel in your hand, due to the rubber bumpers where you grip the phone. If they can get the button fixed (or you shim it up like I have), I think most people would like it. Also, as an aside, they are sending me another case so I can see if it's a manufacturing defect, or if it's the same on all the cases, I finally heard back from their tech support about my issues.
pretty cool case
not a bad case but very scratch prone fixed the power button issue easily
Nice case thinking about getting it if issues fixed
I just posted this review on Amazon, but figured you guys might like it too. Hope it helps you make your choice. I think this one will work for me until I make the final decision whether to keep my xoom or not.
Here's a link to the Amazon listing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QKLPUY/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_img
There's also a red one, but no amazon prime: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004US57G0?tag=5336653508-20
First: this is a cheap case. If you want an expensive case, don't look in the $15 range. You will need to spend at least 3 times that to get a "nice" case.
Now that we have that over with, I just got this case yesterday and I'm happy with it. not "5 stars" happy, but it works. Here's what I think you want to know:
1) It is not made of quality material, but I think it will hold up for a bit. I wouldn't expect it to last if given to a child or left in a backpack.
2) It will not protect the sides or corners of your xoom. They're exposed, and the bottom corners may stick out just a hair. Not a problem if you're like me and very careful with your electronics.
3) The case does not stand upright, and doesn't hold iself up for typing very well. You can mess with it to get it up at a bit of an angle for typing, but it's weak material and just slumps down after a while. I assume this will get worse as the material breaks-in.
4) The cutouts are poorly done. You can see that they're done seperately (one for the speaker, the other for the camera-speaker-power button) and they don't line up with each other. Also, because the xoom isn't held perfectly into the case, they don't always line up perfectly with the case (but this will be a problem with everything but a very tight case). The worst part is that the power button is partially covered by the case. Whoever the genius was that decided to put the power button there is really at fault, but this case makes it more difficult. I plan to find an exacto knife and open it up a bit to make the button accessible.
5) Two things are incorrect in the description: there is no "built-in pockets for documents" and it didn't come with a wristband. Fine by me; I don't think pockets would get used, and I don't really get the gimmick of a plastic bracelet...
6) The latch is only semi-usable (it's a pain to get it into the slot, and doesn't really hold it closed anyways) and it covers the ports when it's used. Really, just setting it off to the side would have solved this problem, or make it wider with a hole in the bottom to allow cabling. The strap is the biggest design flaw... Very irritating, but not fatal.
OK, so I've been very critical, but I gave it 4 stars. Why? Well, it's $15, it serves its purpose (to allow me to put my expensive electronic thing in my bag and take it away), and I don't think it's going to break any time soon (though I may try to modify the strap to be, well, useable...). Like I said at the beginning; if you want a nice case, spend the money for one. If you want a cheap case so you can safely take this thing outside: here you go.
***UPDATE: Nothing above is incorrect, except that as it's aged, the bottom corner straps have sagged and now it's a bit off. I'm getting the Acase (to keep the corners protected). 2 stars now.
OK, two updates from my original post:
1) I used an exacto knife to make the power button more accessible. It works much better now--in fact better than without the case since the hole guides your finger to the power button--but it looks like crap. The case is velvety fabric over cardboard, so cutting into is exposed the cardboard. Oh well, I said it's a cheap case, and it's a small flaw, so I'll live.
2) The case DOES actually stand up on a table. It's not perfect, and falls over if the cat knocks it, but it does stand up. I was wrong in my first post: as the material wore in it became easier.
I Just received the leather flip case from Ebay. It's really cheap i got mine for 1 pound. For 1 pound it looks really premium.
Inside has a soft touch and feeling, so your screen is safe. It fits really nice and won't come off easy. i can access all the buttons with ease no problem there. The flip snaps with a magnet so loving that one. The only bad thing for now is that it makes the phone look really long .

It won't fit. The case grabs the phone from top and left and right on the bottom. The extra big battery wouldn't make it fit . The size is perfect fit for the stock size.
£1? :O
That's crazy. I've never trusted these cheap "leather" cases (bad experience with my Desire HD) but if you're saying this is good then I may be tempted to invest
Can you confirm that you can remove the phone from the casing that holds the phone (attached to leather-y material) with ease?
Thanks
I have one of these but in black, I also have two plastic cases. The only problem is that I never use them. I've became so accustomed to the ultra-thin design of the sgs2 that when I put a case onto it it feels like I'm holding a brick. But, I've gotta say, it is very nice. Also another problem is that if you keep putting the case on and removing it it can damage the side buttons, one of my volume buttons is the slightest bit weaker now.

inside the leather case there is a hard case that's snaps the phone. it's really easy to put in in and also to take out. You have to put some little pressure from the top and it pops out.
Like I said it has a great quality for 1£ it's not premium leather but it works well.

I agree on the bulk thing. It makes the phone little bigger but it still looks great.
What do you mean with the volume buttons? The buttons don't touch the case at all. there is a small gap between the case and the volume button.
if i'd known about this case i would have tried it first over the samsung official leather case. the official one clamps so tight that after a few removal cycles the bottom section of my phone creaks
which is unfortunate because it fits so well. (another downside, however, was the hole for the headphone jack was very small, so large fat jacks wouldn't fit...)

I mean when removing the case, it's quite tight isn't it? So when you take it off the opposing side (opposing to the side that you're removing) puts a lot of pressure on the other side. so that when you move the case down so that the plastic interacts with the buttons (power or volume) it puts a lot of pressure on them. sorry if that made no sense I couldn't really think of a way to explain it.
There is nearly only 3 types of cases out at the market.
First the hard plastic cases that are coming in 2 parts. There are the glossy ones and the trubberized ones in a wide variety of colors and styles at ebay or Amazon. The quality is OK but not perfect. What I like is the good protection in combination with the acceptable increase of size. The problem is that you nearly can't remove the front part of the case without breaking the very small bars fixing the case to the device. I like the rubberized ones most. They are looking more stable to me than the glossy ones. With the case it's more difficult to slide out the QWERTY keyboard. But it's acceptable. What I like very much is the protection of the on/off button and then loudness buttons. Because without the case I öfter press these keys withooany will.
Then there are the leather cases. There are horizontal and vertical ones. I tried to use the ones for the Samsung Galaxy S2 also, they fit. But of course not together with the hard plastic case together. For that I will try cases made for the HTC Sensation XL. I will share my experiences as soon as I get the cases.
The third category are cases that are blocking the hardware keyboard. That unacceptable for me. I tried rubber cases for the Samsung Galaxy S2 and it worked for one but the fitting is not not really good. The thickness of the device is quite different from most other smartphones.
Hope I could help a little bit and will share my upcoming experiences.
Thanks for checking out the cases, did they the leather/rubber ones block the camera at the back or did it have the correct position for the opening?
The leather ones I tried are for pulling out the device before use.
The rubber one I tried had a big camera hole on the back. But I forgot to check the other connector holes but if I remember correctly some cutting work has to be done. But this is possible with the right tools. Sharp knives and hole cutters for leather/paper.
Best thing is to try the case at a shop. Surely some fits better than others. But I think the Galaxy S2 category is the best you can get. The Galaxy Note ones could be also work, because it's taller but thinner.
The first category cases are made for the device and aren't blocking anything.
I wonder if anyone has tried the one-piece Speck cases yet (can't post links yet, but a Google search for "speck captivate glide" should bring up the page on Speck's site). They look good, but I'm curious if they restrict the sliding mechanism or block the keyboard at all.

Just wanted to share my review, got a hard rubberized case on Amazon from ezbuy123. It's a 2-piece, snap-on. In the past, I've used Otterbox on EVERYTHING, but since they dont have an i927 case out yet, I figured I'd take a chance. The build quality is probably a 3.5/5 - it's hard, it's plastic, it's rubberized, that all is true. The edges of the case around the keyboard area are already starting to get chewed up, and the rubberizing doesnt have any real texture to speak of, I feel like I'm going to drop it when I use it. On the plus side, it isnt a weird neon color, and it doesnt add much bulk or weight to the phone.... All in all, I'd be pressed to give it 4/5 overall, it will definitely be replaced with an Otterbox if they ever decide to make a case for the i927.
Speck Sureslider Case
So I just received the Sureslider case today. I bought it for 24 dollars (from versiomobile before they charged 35 ).
Here's my review on it:
It's a one piece piece that has a hard plastic back with polycarbonate. On the front, it's made up of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer). The TPE gives the case a lip from the screen of the phone. It still slides when you put it on its face but not by much. Only the top part actually clips onto the phone. The back plate just kinda sticks to the phone.. somewhat. There's basically no restriction when you're sliding it, it feels like it's not even there. Regarding the top keys of the qwerty keyboard, it might've moved a nanometer, but not to significant to affect your typing.
Honestly, I don't think the price of $35 is worth it. I'd say it'd be more fair around 13 dollars. It also comes with a one-year warranty, so maybe that's where the high price came from?
The Sureslider case is technically a "one-piece" but when I got it, somehow the connection between the bottom and top part became loose and the top part came out. Needless to say, i thought it was going to be an easy fix. It wasn't . You can't just "slide" it into one piece since there's a hook and a little clip at the bottom to provide stability. After I managed to get the piece together, I went through the packaging, and there was this small instruction slip. It said "If the case becomes separated by mistake, align the two pieces and fit back together."
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
I got the rubberized texture case from ebay (shop4phree*). 5 bucks included shipping. Just to get something on the phone quick before I scractched it. I have to say for being so cheap it has help up surprisingly well. I was going to go for a higher end case at a later time but it's now going on 2 months and I haven't felt the need to switch. The only drawbacks I can see is it interferes with the smoothness of the slide out keyboard (requires a little more finger power to push it up) and the extra bulk it adds makes your top row of keys a little tight when typing(especially with big fingers).Ive dropped my phone a couple of times and it has held intact.
Im a cheap bastard so my $5 case works great for me.
Amzer cases
Well i managed to snap the feelers on my first case (the black rubberized one), so I've moved on to an Amzer case from Amazon. It's a 2-piece, snap-together advertised as "one piece". The build quality is probably a 3/5 - it's hard, it's plastic, it's rubberized on the back half, but the front half is clear hard-poly that looks awful (definitely not at all like what the pic on Amazon makes it look). It doesnt add much bulk or weight to the phone, but it is slightly bulkier than the previous case I reviewed. Hopefully Otterbox will come up with a case for the i927 soon, I'm quickly tiring of these cases...

Haven't tried any of them but their stuff is good.
Body Glove Captivate Glide
I just received the Body Glove two-piece case for the Glide. It's $30 from AT&T, but I got it from All4Cellular for less (it's also on Amazon for even cheaper, which is a bit annoying as it was out of stock when I last looked there). It's pricey, but highly reviewed on AT&T's site.
It looks high-quality (none of that gummy rubber sort of stuff) and fits snugly. A bit too snugly, actually, as it was fairly difficult to get on and (according to other owners) nigh impossible to get off. On the plus side, that means it's not going to just pop off in your pocket.
The case fully covers the back of the phone (except for holes for the camera, flash, microphone, speaker, and buttons), and on the front, it covers the bezel. It doesn't interfere with the sliding at all, though the front cover does stick out enough to potentially cause problems with the top row of physical keyboard keys. That said, the keyboard side of the front cover has a little cutout at the bottom that may alleviate that problem a bit. I haven't noticed any major difficulties typing so far.
As with any two-piece case, there's a gap between the pieces where the phone slides, so it's not going to protect from anything getting between the phone halves. Also, it only comes in one color--a metallic blue sort of look--so if that's not your thing, you're out of luck.
I'd give it four out of five stars, knocking off a star for the difficulty in getting it off, though I'd recommend it for the build quality.
Does anyone know of a otterbox case from another phone that would fit this one for protection? (commuter or defender)
And what about silicone cases? Soft ones I mean..
There's a Case Mate Barely There case now available for the Glide, you can find it on Amazon. Did anyone try it?
Mom is with ATT so she picked the Captivate Glide cuz I have Epic. LoL Basically, she also want a slide-out keyboard.
I ordered this for her on eBay.
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=64678
One problem, the sellers posted different quality. Some say hard plastic and some say rubberized. I went with a seller that said rubberized with good reviews. $7 with free shipping. I'm waiting on that to arrive and see how it feels
Just a question, since I'm not a native english speaker:
what does 'rubberized' mean? Does the term refer to a hard case with soft grip or to a flexible silicone-like case that you can even bend and it keeps the shape?
Thanks

I got the same one from AT&T.
I agree with your comments. This case is much better quality than the no-name clear ones I've seen elsewhere. It is a pain to install / remove, but I like it tight, lol. I've had cases for other phones where it comes off easy, and they become a pain in the @ss.
They are the most expensive I've seen, but worth the price if it saves your phone from just one concrete ground fall.

Any tips on a decent ebay case?
Just received this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261027269...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
The fit is really tight, camera is somewhat protected (about 0.5mm beneath surface) and extra grip on the sides is good I guess (I was already used to the smooth finish one the phone itself so the grainy surface feel a bit weird). Buttons need a lot more force to push though. Good for some afraid to accidentally activating the phone while in their pocket, but for me it's ruining the usage experience a bit. I probably will get used to it after a couple of days.
Anyway it's really cheap and in my opinion worth a try.
Btw, the one advertised as grey is actually clear with matte clear in the middle.
Thanks, I preffer those that are more flexible though or the snap-on one.
I am using a case similar to this but bought from amazon, I like the idea that the camera lense is protected by 5mm, no scratches and case doesn't get in the way of pics
It adds a bit more bulk to the phone, less likely to slip out your hand as well, buttons are harder to press, no accidental presses while in your pocket, all the cut outs are perfect, which I was very pleased about
Think I payed £1.95 + p&p....I still think I robbed them, seriously under priced for such a well fitted case and all cut outs perfect

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320911143777
The price was £1.49 (I think seller has changed the price) and you get case, screen protector and a stylus.
All the holes line up and it adds a bit of bulk to the phone. The screen protector was not a perfect fit but I seem to be using the stylus more than I thought (it works really well and keeps my finger prints off lol)
cant complain for less than 2 quid.
I can't say enough good things about this case: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Clear-Screen-Protector-Qubits-Accessories/dp/B007V38BF0/ref=pd_cp_ce_1
It's on amazon but I've seen them listed on ebay under different names.
It basically looks just like the pictures and really looks good on the phone. It doesn't add much bulk and does a really good job at protecting everything. The included screen protectors are nice. They scratch easily but they don't show prints as much or have that rainbow effect like harder protectors. There are tons of cases out there for 10x the price but I wouldn't trade them for this one. I wish the pogo pins weren't covered but I'm not sure they would work anyway with the added thickness of the case.

I got myself one of those from ebay. It fits really well and looks decent but the buttons are not molded well. Even the slightest touch and power / volume buttons will activate. Maybe I just got a dud product.
I will try to gouge some plastic away from the bottom where the buttons should fit and it should make the case usable. Not going to send it back because it was so cheap and not worth the hassle.

That doesn't sound like the same case because mine does not have any issues like that. The buttons feel normal; not particularly hard or easy to push.

Like I mentioned mine probably got overlooked by the monkeys in the QA line (if the manufacturers of these cheap cases even have those ).
If you got a perfect case then good for you - it fits the phone perfectly and protects the camera very well.
