is there a case similar to iphone 4 griffin reveal? http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/reveal-iphone4
I'm looking for a polycarbonate back with slim rubber sides for the samsung captivate.
thats only the sides though like a iphone 4 bumper not sure if the captivate would get one but it would be cool
no there is a one-piece polycarbonate back with rubber sides. my friend has one

I have that one (returned my iPhone4 since) and it sucks. A week of use and the back is super scratched up and actually looks smoked now, and the rubber is super flimsy. Id suggest something else.
i see. thanks for your input. what makes a good case? rubber? silicone? leather? hard plastic? polycarbonate? sigh..too many choices
gel silicone and hard plastic mix.
make sure it has some bend so that its not rigid but it is sturdy enough that it is hard to get over the device.
the body glove is seriously the most perfect case ever and the pattern is nice too

I'm sorry, that was just my opinion. I'm currently using the body glove gel case available at AT&T stores. Its not as snug as i would have liked it, but its much better than that reveal was.

my brother uses that. it feels snug, but i wanted a clear back to show the nice detailing of the captivate.
I just picked up that Body Glove case AT&T has and boy is it nice. I thought it was going to be pretty cheap but once I saw it in person I was sold. I recommend it if you are looking for some protection since the phone is still pretty new and does not have a lot of options.
here one that samsung makes. i really thrilled with the design in the back. its not available yet. but fyi.

wow that one from Sammy looks pretty nice.
I actually like the dock also, I was really looking for a dock to use for.
I made one out of my son's legos for my iPhone... was about to the same for my Captivate.

I agree, I've been waiting to order this one.

Thanks!
I just ordered this case, gotta say been having a real tough time trying to find a quality case for this phone, probably more trouble than have ever had trying to find a case. I mean seriously there is some real crap cases out there. Eh, whatever really hope this is what I've been looking for...fingers crossed!
Mine just arrived today and the case is very slim similar to the snap on cases but the two pieces combine so sesmlessly that it is definitely a step above similar cases, the carbon fiber look is painted on and the unit has a soft touch finish similar to the back of an evo 4g

it gives it more protection than a silicone case but not as much as an otterbox or tough case, it seems like it would protect it from a moderate fall impact, it also adds minimal bulk, not quite as slim a a barely there case but it is close. it seems to be a very high quality case as far as fitment goes
here are a couple
one more for you, hope this helps

Just so you umderstand my obsession about cases I have a tpu grey case, one of those mesh cases in black, a body glove rubber case, a case mate tough case, and out of all them, I think I use the tough case when I feel like I need maximum protection and this case the rest of the time.

So, is there any new cases coming out from popular brands other than Otterbox?
I used this one from swiss army and it fits the captivate perfectly.

BUMP! May be something new coming up?
otterbox released their impact series case.. but no defender as of yet
Incipio just came out with a case for the captivate. I have one of their hard cases for my Zune HD and am very happy with the quality. I'm tempted to pick up one for my Captivate. Right now I'm using an Invisibleshield but wouldn't mind a little more protection.
I just got the Otterbox Impact case for the Captivate not ten minutes ago in the mail. Shipping was ok, I ordered it last Thursday. Seems really solid and thick enough that it could take a decent impact or drop. I like it so far but the increase in size will have to grow on me. It's not a ridiculous increase, puts it about to the size of a 3GS iPhone really. Other than that it comes with a screen protector and has a good feel in your hands. I got it for right under $18.00 with shipping using the coupon code "tb1010y".
Check this and this. These look pretty solid, and are very reasonably-priced!

Bought this case in the mall at a kiosk.
http://store.mybat.com/smoke-argyle-candy-skin-cover-18120.html
1. That design, barely visible. It's actually A LOT darker case. Especially when on the phone.
2. It's thick flexible plastic. Hard Gel-like. Not a rubber skin that gets caught up in your pocket.
3. It's the exact same shape as the phone. A true "skin'.
4. Light. Adds almost no additional weight to the phone.

I have that same case, only in green. I agree with your assessments, it really is a great case. I am curious about the Otterbox cases though, have never used them before.

IDK about the first one, but the snap on case isn't that good. I have the black version. The snaps are broken in several spots, the case opens itself when dropped (what good is that?), and occasionally when pulling out of my pocket the case is literally falling off.
YMMV, but if I had to do it again, I'd avoid the Amzer rubberized snap on case at all costs.
Body Glove TPU case is all you need.
Hey there guys...i just ordered my s3 and i saw a few videos where the s3 screen breaks very easily!
I also read the silicone cases or the TPU ones provide excellent shock resistance so i'm thinking of buying one!
What do you think?Which case will provide more protection to my phones screen? (i'm only intrested on not breaking the screen,the scratches etc are lower priority...)
I also ordered an InvisibleShield not that it'll make much difference but i'm just sayin'...
For me.. Both!
There are some cases that has both soft (mostly tpu) and hard frames stacked together for better protection. I'm thinking getting SGP Neo Hybrid when it's released. I believe someone post this video somewhere. But, I couldn't find any image of it. I used it for my galaxy s2, and it was bomb.

I'm using one of the Rocks Sand series cases that I picked up locally for ~10 USD. Big fan of the texture, very easy to grip and it doesn't look bad at all with my pebble blue S3.
One of the biggest bonuses I think is that the headphone jack up top isn't obstructed as it was with some of the previous rubber cases I used with my S2. Headphones with right angle plugs had problems being inserted firmly.
I bought 3 ebay tpu cases for my galaxy s3 and they all have horrible fitment =(...stay away from them
Just got my first case. $5 and it feels like it. Very. Thin, has what appears to be decent grip on the side but hard to tell without the phone. I bought it for the kickstand but it feels pretty cheesy to say the least. It won't even hold itself straight up on its own. If it works well with the actual phone I'll take the time to update my feelings about it.

What are the best skins for htc one ? i don't like slick wraps...
IMO dbrand has the best fit and quality. You can order customs from them as well if you can manage to fit in their busy schedule. I've ordered two customs from them so far and love it. I want a new one but they've been so busy lately.
yes i have the brushed aluminium excellent looks great just ordered the titanium .

Looks good and the HTC alignment looks spot on too. I bought some skins from Luckyskins.com and the HTC alignment was not good at all.
Side note, if you really wanted to pair the skin with the Spigen, you should've left the left and right sides bare. There's a good chance the Spigen case will peel the side skins back otherwise. Those crystal cases tend to be a very tight fit with a bare phone, I've never had good luck stuffing a skinned phone into them.

I'm a bit overwhelmed by the number of options available for the Nexus 5. I don't want to spend too much on a case. I'm looking for something similar to the Incipio Feather. The design should be minimalistic. Can I get such a case from eBay or Amazon for under $10?
Hopefully the case won't scratch or cause scruff marks on my Nexus 5.
Thank you!
remember you get what you pay for.
cheap and quality.....

I love the quicksand cases, check on eBay. There's a thread on here by bacon too!

If you're looking for a hard shell case like that I wouldn't cheap out. You can get a decent TPU case for $10, but for hard plastic I would definitely spend the extra money to make sure it doesn't damage your device.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231166191...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Im pretty satisfied with it. It can easily compete with much more expensive cases. It offers minimal protection, but is quite grippy and stylish :good:
the only downside is that the delivery from China took ages
Shop on Aliexpress and you can get MULTIPLE high quality cases for under $10. I just picked up a Spigen Neo Hybrid for $3.99 shipped and a Nillkin hard case for $7.20. I don't think there is a case on there over $10, and they have some amazing cases including knockoffs of the official bumpers and even Nexus 4 style bumpers for the nexus 5. Its like Disneyland, as long as you can wait a month to receive the items.

I asked about that case in another thread without getting any responses. From the pictures, the quality appears to be pretty good. Is it soft plastic or it's hard? Will the case scratch the phone? It would be nice if there's a bit of texture on the case to make it more grippy.

it is hard plastic, harder than the phone's backplate, but it wont scratch it, dont worry
the case is indeed textured, which makes it as grippy as a hard plastic case can get :cyclops:
but keeping in mind the fact that this is priced as a popcorn bucket, you dont have to ask for any feedback at all, just try it for yourself
