perfect case for me, as im a big fan of the TPU cases in cases in general, had some for my Blackberry before i bought my Captivate.... the cutouts for the charger port/headphone jack/speaker/camera are all perfect, the case fits snug, volume and power buttons arent restricted at all. the case doesnt add much bulk, and the TPU material adds a sure grip on the device.
only dislike i have is the color, i ordered Blue and i thought itd be more of a royal blue, rather than the almost turquoise-ish color that i received. no bother though, ive already put in an order today for the smoke gray.
Looks great. Waiting for pictures of the smoke grey one when that comes in . Big fan of these type of cases but I'd prefer a simple black/dark grey without patterns.
Are the Power/Volume buttons covered or opened?

How's the overall fit? Loose? There are reviews on vibrant amzer cases on amazon and they say they fit loose.
Thanks for the pictures. Looks like a great case except I can't get over the pattern... it makes me sad. Is it too much to ask for a plain black or plain clear tpu case without funky patterns?
yeah argyle is so 90s
I just ordered the lime green version of this

yeah, i wish there was a clear one, but i was waiting for a tpu case from the time i bought the phone so i went ahead and bought this one. hopefully someone comes with a clear one soon though.
What is tpu? Hard or soft, or both? Just wondering because i have a clear plastic case over the phantomskinz white chromatics carbon fiber skin, and lets just say its a tight squeeze. I just ordered a clear gel case from mr. hit and I don't think its gonna cooperate with my belt pouch very well. Something like this IMO would look great over the white chromatics skin. I know it sounds like overkill but I am a freak about protection as I resell all of my old phones to party for the new ones.

TPU is a medium between hard and soft.... its a plastic, a rather firm plastic, but it bends|flexes|gives, but always retains its elasticity - no matter how many times you might put it on and take it off of your phone, itll never get loose and worn, messing up its fit on the device. also does a decent job of shock absorption in the event of drops.
Cool thanks. Wondering now if it will fit well over the chromatics

i'd like one of those but in a dark purple or black
I love this case because it's different than the usual Body Glove case from AT&T that everybody has. I got the clear one and it is a little grippier than the Body Glove case but I like having that extra grip in the hand.

Great TPU Case for Captivate
I bought purple, green and hot pink for my Cappy. I love these. They fit the phone perfectly. No loseness. But easy enough to remove to switch out colors. I wasn't that wild about the argyle pattern either but this is the only TPU type case which is what I had and loved on my iPhone. TPU material is good for gripping but slides in and out of your pocket easily unlike silicone.
I bought the purple and it's a real nice shade.
Someone else posted pictures of the smoked grey on androidforums
http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/159237-amzer-case.html
Looks like I might have to pick this one up sometime, too.

Do you have a screen protector of any kind on your Captivate?
P.S: Also, what camera were those photos taken with!?
does anyone have it in red and can share pics?
i'd love to see pics of the other colours like purple or green, etc
OP please cut your nails, I almost lost my soda when I saw that, and there seems to be dirt under them as well, and maybe a small hair.

10/23/2010 edit: I no longer recommend these cases. Neat idea, but they just don't last. If you want a thin case I'd go pure TPU. Personally I'm now using the Otterbox Commuter and not looking back. Excellent case.
Just ordered these 2 bad bays... they are called hybrid cases. found the link in another thread here on XDA. The back is made out of hard Poly Carb and the sides are made out of soft TPU. I picked em up on ebay... so what do you guys think? i'm pretty pleased. the TPU is very soft so the buttons are very very easy to press compared to other TPU cases I've used. Only problem I see is the PC back will probably scratch up quicker then a full TPU case would. The white & clear makes the white evo look how HTC should of made it look. kinda strange that they made the sides black on the white evo.

Blue & Clear Hybrid (sorry, out of focus)
Very nice. How tight is the fit? Will the case come off if I slide the phone in my back jean pocket?
Very nice. Mine should be here tomorrow. I love white cases.
Yes these are VERY nice cases! I just got mine in the mail last week. Ordered from Ebay Store Monster Accessories. The Cool part is... if you take off your original cover.. then you get all red!! Its pretty nice!
Looks good. Glad the buttons are easy to press. I ordered a black with smoke back that should be here any day.

looks pretty good! i think i like it with the white better though. I hope the Poly Carb back doesn't scratch up my battery cover, I've only used TPU before and that's too soft to scratch a phone, but PC definitely could. I'll keep my eye on it.

And you have no problems with the power or volume button? My frosted white TPU from evocase was great except for the button problem. Its just too hard to press. Also can you give a link so I could order the correct one. Many thanks.
sorry to ask but how much did it cost you?
mines cost 8.95 free shiping because after i saw this thread i looked on ebay and there where very expensive.
the link i bought it from is this one http://cgi.ebay.com/CLEAR-White-Sof...30415250927?pt=PDA_Accessories#ht_2989wt_1137
Be careful with these.. I have the clear/white model shown at the top. 2 days after geting them, there are stress cracks by the hole for the camera and the speaker. I called daydeal to rma and return then figured out its not worth it and just keep the one I got
just ordered mine, looks like exactly what im lookin for.
Juss. Order this case from the same site these are gorgeous... can wait till it comes

Just an FYI, daydeal.com has an ebay store as well and you can save around 2-4 by buying from there instead. I just got the hybrid red and clear case for $9.50.
stores.ebay.com/daydealdaydeal <-- not a typo
does this case protect the cammera lens?
Trying to decide between this or a full TPU case to replace the Innocase II.
Any idea how this case would fit in the Innocase holster?
Got mine with the black border and smoke back today. Overall I am very pleased. Pressing the power and volume buttons is as easy if not easier than without a case at all. I love the look because you can see the HTC and sprint logos through the back. It will likely scratch easier though. The biggest downside is it's not as snug around the sides as I would like. Specifically I have a bulge on the upper left side that doesn't fit snug against the side. Could be just the one I got though.

I got a clear on clear and the fit is great. it fits snugly, camera is recessed, kickstand has a 1 mm border unprotected, but its not a dealbreaker. i didnt want the kind without the individual speaker/flash/camera cutouts. this one has them. i also didn't want one of the kind with the diamond pattern. i like this case a lot. Purchased Friday, recvd Monday. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400143134032
4.99 free shipping.
***Note - I am not a case fan, but I'm a klutz. My requirement was a 100% clear, non bulky case. I searched for over an hour and my choices were out of the one i got, and a 100% clear all TPU case. I feel that maybe the all tpu would have fared better in a drop. (This is the closest I could find to what I wanted... not 100% clear but close, with individual cutouts http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Evo-Flexi-Skin-Case/dp/B003X6BVX8/ref=sr_1_47?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1281690779&sr=1-47) I love my case, and in the end I think it looks less cheap than the 100% TPU.***

All I know is that my Innocase II Blows! It's loose and a bit bulky. I think I'm going to test drive one of these. Oh..and I paid freaking 26 bucks for the Seido!
Recently picked up two different Cruzer Lite Argyle Pattern TPU cases...here's what I think:
This applies to both the Clear Argyle & Smoke Argyle Cases.
Please note, I'm NOT affiliated with the maker of these cases...just LOVE a good TPU Case!
1. It fits perfectly- nice and snug. Cutouts are just right. Easy to put on / take off. No "give" doesn't feel like it'll get loose on ya.
2. The volume buttons covered with two overlays, defining the buttons nicely. A little stiff at first, but seems to be softening a little over a few days.
3. Not overly slick. Easy to put in your pocket / remove. Seems to have enough friction to prevent dropping. Some of these TPU cases are like holding a wet fish, while your hands are covered in baby oil. This one's just fine.
4. Lightweight - doesn't add any real bulk...most TPU cases don't. Having such a slim, lightweight phone is something to show off...this doesn't detract from that.
5. Great packaging - most of these type of TPU cases just come shipped to you in a plastic baggie. This had said plastic baggie, with another layer of protection inside that...plus a cardboard cutout. (it's the little things that impress)
6. I love that the SGSII logo can be seen through the argyle pattern. This and the darker of the two cases allow for this. I like it!
7. The argyle pattern itself is sharp...I feel it adds to the classy image of this phone.
I'll say in summation, that I've had an overall pleasant experience with this TPU case...and the Owner that sent it to me. Seems like decent Customer Service in my interactions. Of course, in all honesty a TPU case doesn't offer as much protection as an OtterBox...but overall it serves it's purpose!

I like this case too. I posted a few pictures in another thread.
I didn't like how the volume rocker cover felt so I ended up using the cardboard mod that other people were using with the other TPU cases. I might consider removing that mod because I'm afraid it might damage the buttons in the long run.
I really like these as well. Looks like the smoke argyles are sold out at amazon and I cant find them on ebay. anyone know where these are in stock right now?
They will be stock in about a week. I will have nine colors total.

What color did you get?
Ordered the clear argyle case, just arrived today. The case fits like a glove, the only thing is that the argyle design is scratched and faded around the corners. Maybe I'm just being finicky. But I can't really argue with the price. Leaps and bounds better than the silicon case I had, oh and it's lighter too.
The way the cases are molded sometimes small defects can be found on the corners. I am glad to hear you like the case.
Other than those minor problems, I love this case. The case seems good enough to give me peace of mind while handling my phone.
Hey guys so I just got my galaxy s2 and I was looking on the web for a case. I want a tpu style case something that's thin but protects the bezel from dirt and scratches. Anyone have any good suggestions?

The case i have is the Ballistic SG Case and its the best case i have right now for the T989. I have tried the D30 case which i paid $30 at a T-mobile store and i regret buying it because the buttons are hard to press [the power and volume buttons] and the case is pretty slippery when you leave it flat on a table. Check ebay for the "T989 Ballistic Case" thats where i got mine for $15 with free shipping and it came in 3 days. Trust me you wont go wrong.

I've had the argyle case, the generic clear TPU, and currently the white Body Glove Diamond from T-Mobile.
I like the overall feel and ease of button pressing with the body glove, but after about a week it has gotten quite a few scratches. The generic clear TPU had a really great feel and the buttons were easy to press as well, I just didn't care much for the design. The argyle looked the best, but the buttons were harder to use.
I like the Aegis but I think that one of the best options as per your desired specs would be the D30. Or maybe you want to look at the Incipio "feather" case. That seems to fit the bill as well.

I bought a clear argyle, actually love the look of it through my carbon fiber gunmetal skin. Problem was the buttons, hard to press. I cut mine out with a razor blade but I have been looking for a new clear argyle without the buttons. Have you found one of those? Picture with gunmetal skin is below!

If you use the car and/or desktop dock I say Ditzronic TPU. Pretty painless undressing it to take a trip or put it on the nightstand to charge or be an alarm clock. Looks pretty good. If you're rough on phones and are prone to damaging them with big drops go with the Aegis. I only need scratch prevention so it works for my needs.
I picked up a Ballistic case from the Telus store. Its a monster of a case, but protects my monster of a phone well.

I bought both the white one and the black one and cut out the buttons.
Those Argyle cases fit well but the one I have scratched my phone's outer plastic band, around the power port / USB area. This is the area where the case has a bit of play. So as you put the phone inside your pocket, the case actually rubs against the phone, which might cause scratches. Alternatively, sand or dirt from pockets might have got in through the looser parts of the case and scratched the phone. Either way, this has me looking for a new case.
hmmm....don't really have this problem

No branding. Buttons are dimples, work fine. Cutouts are perfect.
Mix of matte and gloss black.
TPU is tight and resistant to pulling off the edges of the screen.

Looks pretty good. Question: The amazon title says "and screen protector." This isn't a case with a built in screen protector, is it? I have a screen protector on mine already, so I don't need a case that has a screen protector built in, like an Otterbox or something. Just want a snap on case. So provided that it's just a case and a screen protector comes separately, how's the case fit regarding the screen? Does it seem like it'd interfere with a screen protector? Thanks
Screen protector is not part of the case. Just received this. Very nice
Awesome, thanks for the reply. Sold it for me, buying now
It just includes a cheapo plastic stickon protector.
The edge that wraps around the front is small, shouldnt interfere with any normal screen protectors.
You also have the quicksand case right? Which do u prefer this or the quicksand?

Quicksand is obviously slimmer. The sandy texture is nice.
This provides WAY more protection though. The matte texture is also nice.
It's a matter of what you need.
Just got this Hyperion case in. Perfect cutouts, perfect form factor still kept (it's very slim). $6-7 on Amazon, can't be beat.
+1 from me. I've got the clear case, nicely shows off moto maker colors while still giving it that bit of extra protection.
I also ordered this one and was pleasantly surprised.

I am waiting for the car sick to be released to see if it has limitations on case size. Hope they hurry before it is too late and I break this thing. This one looks good and cheap enough to just go for not knowing.

Got it today and love it. Wondering if I should've ordered the clear one though so I could see more of the back.
I got the frost clear one for a white moto x and it looks really good. The back has a nice matte feel to. I think this is the best tpu case for the moto x. I'd like a simliar hard case that is below 10$ but I can't seem to find one. Clear, dimple cut out, thin with a little lip for lay on the table.
Got this in frost clear. It's not bad but still too thick for my liking. Biggest complaint is that buttons are hard to press, would prefer a cutout of the buttons. Would've liked the whole thing to be matte and to reduce the edges on the front; they are too close to the screen.
The quest continues for the perfect TPU case.

Are there really TPU cases that are thinner than others? I've used a bunch on all my devices and haven't really noticed a difference in thickness.

Yes I had a TPU case from Spigen for my GS3 that was simply perfect. Super thin and somehow it did not interfere with the front of the phone at all, unlike most other cases. It kinda tapers outward, instead of towards the screen, so it still gave protection from falls. And yet it all managed to stay snug. This is the kind of case i'm looking for.

The only Spigen TPU case that I'm aware of is the Neo Hybrid. I had that case for my S3 as well and it definitely wasn't thinner than other TPU cases.

Was that one. Discontinued or something, was never able to buy it again.
I finally got all my cases in so I thought I'd share my thoughts! Hoarder warning: a LOT of cases be here

Olixar X-Duo, has a carbon fiber style back and a metallic bumper which looks SO good, I tried capturing it but my photo skills are kinda lacking, but this case looks great.
Got 2 tough cases, think I'll keep the UAG and give my brother the other as I quite like the front cover on the UAG though the kickstand is quite cool haha.
This Ultra-Thin case is ultra thin. Definitely not going to give protection but I love how near invisible it is.
Spigen Neo Hybrid, I really like the blue and it matches quite well with my phone I think.
FlexiShield, boring gel case is boring but <3 purple
The Alcantara Cover, have been using this since I got my phone and I loved it at first and it feels really good but... yeah doesn't look so great anymore. I'm quite sad about this, if anybody has any tips to keep it looking good please share!!
I thought I'd get this wallet case as I have a lot of key passes for work but I don't know, they're just not really my thing I guess.
Spigen Rugged Armor, I like how thin it is but apart from that it's rather boring
Spigen Slim Armor, this is probably my favorite case! I love the color, especially in combination with the black, I was afraid the black would bother me but it is honestly so cool. The kickstand looks a little flimsy tbh but I think it'll be fine.
If you were considering any of these and have any questions let me know
Good post, thanks for all the pics. Quite a collection
Good post, thanks

Hey, thanks, that's awesome!
There is something weirdly uncomfortable about the statement "Old stains of unknown origin"
The way we (other owners and myself) clean the steering wheels/shift boots/ebrake boot/etc. in cars I've had that are made of Alcantara is to take distilled water and add a drop of dawn, then rub the alcantara down with that lightly with a terry rag, then use a soft toothbrush to brush it back to being "fluffy" or "full" looking and then let it dry overnight.
I'm looking for the thinnest clear case possible, how is the fit on the Olixar? Are the sides tight, or all loose and floppy?

It's really good actually, I was a bit worried about that myself cause I've had many cheap Amazon cases that are made of flimsy gel material but this one fits great. It's never going to give you much protection apart from superficial scuffs etc. but that's exactly what I want from it and the fit is good so no dirt getting in
