Just ordered: Black TPU case from amazon. (cant post link - I am new)
i have been using the case from Tmobile for the last few days but it is too bulky. I hope this one is a bit thinner. Just passing another option along - will report back when it arrives.
also, these are the screen protectors I found... they will be here soon. again, I will report back ASAP: "REALOOK T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant Anti-Fingerprint Premium LCD Screen Protector 2 Pack"
take care,
Doon
Is this the one you bought?
thats the one! i hope it's a good option.
Looks kinda "Meh"
Im sticking with my tmobile case which to my surprise was pretty well made, until reviews about the mesh case get in.

Same here. I saw the gel case in my local store a few days before I got my Vibrant and decided I would wait until it's official "launch" day to see what else they'd get. I got to the store, and not only do they not have any other cases, they don't have the original one anymore! I had to drive 20 minutes to another store to get one and I actually really like it. I planed on getting a gel case anyways just so it could have some shock drop protection, and this case looks and feels great.
Seriously. We pay $600 for this phone. TMO sells this case in high quality for $20 bucks.
if you can afford $600 whats another $20 to save your investment? same goes for the screen protector

sucks to be you if you payed $600 for a phone. t mobile cases are the shiz they do the job well
T-Mobile sells the phone for $500 without a contract? Most people get it cheaper than that...
Why anyone would pay $600 is beyond me...
For those who have an older plan it is worth in the long run to pay 600 now and not being forced into a higher price plan and never being able to get cheaper plan again.

I ordered 1 just to see if it would go through and after the $2.98 shipping...well, $2.99 total.
Orderd one and it came out to 2.95. Funny enough if you order multiple you also have to pay separate shipping. Kinda of a bummer.

Not really unusual at all. Most shipping rates on Ebay are at least double what it costs to ship the item. There are also tons of small items that cost under a buck and shipping is higher. Basically, they catch you with the price and then make the profit off the shipping costs.
Even at ~$3.00 these are still a deal... if you ruin your phone with a case.
I got one, arrived yesterday. Cost me a total of $3 (shipping is why, but the case was $0.01).

Ya I got mine on Thursday.....it's definitely not the best case but it'll do the job for the price I paid....
there is a difference between 6-7% sales tax on $20 dinner and shipping of 298% that gets added to EACH AND EVERY ONE you buy.
if this was $25 free shipping eligible it would be a good deal since you could just order other stuff and "add" these.
now $2.98 would be a good deal if they were TPU but they are not just gel you can get similar and sometimes better deals on ebay.
what you SHOULD be concerned with is not shipping price but "total price"
so when I see an item on ebay for .01 cents and $50 shipping but its for a $100 item I don't really care that the shipping is $50.
I bought this case instead: http://www.ebay.com/itm/30063310140...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1511wt_1344
It's only $2.50 (free shipping) and seems to be better than this $0.01/$3 case.
much better

Curious as to how much your black differs from the TPU sold by Diztronic? I have that one and it's a really nice case. Ten bucks though. Waiting on an Aegis now. I'm thinking I may need a little more than the TPU is able to give. Prolly end up switching between the two also.

Thanks for the link.
The case looks kinda meh to me and a tad bit expensive for the design/material.
Agreed. $30 for a simple case is pretty steep.
Bah. I was hoping for a Candyshell. I'll consider buying it when it hits eBay for half the price and ive seen some video reviews.
I might need to start charging more that is kinda lame for $30. It would be worth a buy @ $10. I wonder if it working with the extended battery.
That looks pretty cool but $30???

Is it a TPU case? I went back to the product page and it didn't say whether it's a TPU case or not. The last case I got from them was for my wife's (3G? the square-ish one)) iPod nano, and that was pretty good quality.
Used a few Speck product before. They produce quality case.
However
This is not worth $30 lol
They thought Android users were stupid sheep like the iPoo users who pay any amount for any accessory. Luckily we have Cruzerlite that can fill our needs for the cases.
I bought the Speck case for my Macbook Air and after having to pay customs and blabla (the total case+shipping+customs was about $80) one of the lids that keeps the case attached to the laptop broke (it just broke by itself), reading on the web I saw it was not only me, it happens all the time to almost everyone so... No more overpriced Speck products for me, thanks.

I wished it was the candyshell. Pixelskin isnt worth $30

Yep,
Got this puppy, and god it looks sexy! that brushed aluminum gives a total different look to the phone. This is the color the phone shouldve been in the first place
only downside is the price..at 40bucks..its kinda expensive and its not super protective so ull feel like maybe its too much money for it.
Anyways, here it is!

That's 30 dollars too much of the Maximum I'd pay for a non-otterbox.
$27 on eBay with free shipping. Not bad, I've been looking at some aluminum back covers for mine since I spend a lot of time in the woods and on rocks.

but I am second guessing myself for buying it. protection seems quite light.
This case has been proven to diminish data/gps signal on some other phones.
Could you do some back-to-back testing on the SIII to see if it has the same problem?
Put the phone on a table with the case on and run a speedtest.net test.
Then remove the case and put the phone back to the *exact same spot* on the table and run the test again.
See if the tests download data faster without the case on.

If you guys like this case, I found a similar one on Amazon. Looks pretty much identical. Here's the link. When I got it, it was $10 plus free prime shipping, but now they have it listed with $4.99 shipping. Still looks really good though and it comes with a screen protector. I preordered my Galaxy S3 from Verizon, so I don't know how the fit is yet. But I'll let you know once the phone comes in.

I have this case and it provides a lot more protection than its being given credit for. My wife dropped my phone from about a 3 foot height directly onto concrete. The phone suffered no damage. I have 3 scuff marks on the front of the case and 2 on the back where the phone fell and took the impact (it fell, bounced, flipped, and landed on the opposite side)......again, zero damage to the phone, only to the case.

Hey for what it's worth I bought this case and replaced with a "rock" case. Downsides were that it is too slippery, degraded my signal, and was slightly too bulky to where the power and volume buttons were difficult to press because the lip over the front were too thick.
As for signal degradation I only say this anecdotally. In my basement I get 1-2 bars with the rock case. With the aluminum backed case I would get 0-1 bars and most text messages would fail to send.

This is going to be the case that keeps our ONEPLUS protected but gives us our precious back which we all love to feel!

Idk if we'll get enough people to pre-order to even get this bumper made. I mean It's still in the double digits.
There is 30 days left and they will give you a refund if they dont get enough. This is by far the most beastly case you can get for our phone. PREORDER SO WE CAN GET THIS SICK CASE! There is no reason not too!
If they reach 70% of there goal they start production so lets get there!

You have nothing to lose, money will be returned if they don't make the 1400. Plus it's only day 3, and there are 30 days left! That's on track for 3000+.

Well if you look at an Otterbox they start at $40 bucks. This is a premium case for our beautiful phone. The company has incredible screen protectors and there cases have proven to be really protective.
I want to protect my device but still have the back open. This is the case to do that.
If you don't want a one of a kind case for our device than don't purchase. This is basically the only high end case from a high end company, I pre-ordered right away.
1500 pre-orders... lol...
So they want you to pre order a bumper for $30 without seeing it.
You know you CAN see the one they made for the iPhone.
Personally, I am not a fan of bumper cases, I do realize that the bulk of the damage on a phone happens on its' sides but I just can't help it, I want a case that covers the back too. That's why my favorite kind of cases are the hybrid "TPU on the sides + a hard back" type.
I can however understand the guys that want to see and touch the back too, especially one as unique as the One's.
If this bumper came fused to a hard back too I could prolly see myself paying the 30+ USD price.
Use a rubber band.

This is NOT a casing, it's a mere bumper. An Otterbox is a fully protective casing.
$30 for a bumper only; or,
$40 for a fully protective casing.
Which do you think is more valuable? Unless Evolutive Labs show us the design and prove that their bumper really works on this device, I'm not buying this. You cannot believe them right away by watching their iPhone demo. The iPhone is thicker and is easier to get protection from the bumpers. The OnePlus One is very thin and how do you think a bumper (unless bulky), is going to protect the device?
And no, they have NO cases sold or made and used by the consumers. There is nothing to be proven. The iPhone crashguard is still in the Kickstarter stage. Nobody have used it, nobody have proved that their crashguard actually works. This is Evolutive Labs's first take on a bumper.
While I do like their screen protector, but there are still some things that I'm not satisfied but I'm not going into that here. Well, it's up to you. It's your money after all. Okay, how about you prove it to us that it works when it gets on your hands (IF this thing actually make it into production)? For science, of course.
I bought the G4 with plastic back, thinking that I can eventually replace the back with a leather one for less than the $40 difference. So far, I have been unable to find a leather back cover for less than that. The cheapest OEM LG cover on ebay is $60. Crazy right?
Anyway, I am sure as time goes on, there will be more and cheaper options.
Meanwhile, if anyone knows of one, please post here. Again, I am looking to replace the plastic back cover with leather, not applying a leather protector case on top. With G4 slightly larger than G3, I find it really bulky and ugly to add anything to it. I will most likely just use it naked with a screen protector.
Mobile Fun has brown and black for pre-order for $50. I think over at AC someone posted that LG might officially be releasing leather backs as early as tomorrow.
An LG rep told me that they will be selling leather cases starting Monday.
Sent from my LG-H810 using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks. But I don't think they are worth more than $40, which is what LG wants for them if you buy the one with the leather back. I might be willing to pay $20, but ideally around $10. I know, I am cheap...

I know the yellow could get dirty, but I'll only use that on certain occasions.

I didn't like the leather cases. Plus I use a case to protect the sides. So relevant. I got the white back. I love it.
So they're doing 2 cases for the price of one, but I only want one case. Anyone (who doesn't mind getting a Verizon model*) want to go in with me? I'll get two cases, and send you one for half of what I pay plus whatever it costs me to ship it to you. (Bonus if you're in the Chicago area and we can do this in person.)
*LG asks for carrier. I'm guessing that just means some kinda branding, but it's barely possible that brand has something to do with how the case fits. I'm on VZW so I'll be specifying that on the cases when ordering.
