Boondock *10/28/10* New Design Up

Check it out. Made it with some sold scrap metal I had around the shop. I will get more pics when I put some spray on it.

Here it is all finished. The bolts make it so I can tilt the phone more forward or back by loosening or tightening the jam nuts. Comes in handy when watching video. I put some VW lug covers on the head of the bolts to protect the case of the phone. Not bad for a days work.

Sweet!

wouldnt really consider that ghetto. have you seen the ****ers around here using the cardboard box the phone came in? or the guys using paperclips?
he could probably market this to iphone owners as some industrial steampunk phone stand, get "Made for iPhone" stamped on the box and sell these for $200 all day long.

You know, I was thinking the same thing. Im going to make another for my touch pro 2. I will post pics asap.

What case is that on the phone? I just ordered a Vibrant (it'll be here tomorrow. Can't wait!) and I'm looking for a good case to put it in. That one looks pretty nice. I was a bit disappointed to find that Otterbox doesn't make a case for the Vibrant.

Its just a rubber case from the T-mobile store. I got it when I got the phone. It was only like $15 and it fits real nice.

love to see it. i'm a car guy too. buddy of mine made some lamps out of old cams, cranks and turbine housings from some shot turbos he had in his garage.
i like to see stuff like this. lots of people dont have an open enough mind to figure stuff like this out.

Nice Job. Money tight? I hear ya.

New Dock
This is my new one, for my touch pro2. Same basic design as the first, but a little rougher around the edges. It also fits my vibrant really well. I think Im going to play around with fiberglass and see what I come up with. I did body work for awhile, and I can sling mud with the best of them.

Extended battery skins (For clip) or case

Hey guys,
I know a lot of you are looking for this.
I have found a site which has these in stock and is selling. I bought two.
http://www.mrcellphoneunlocker.com/V2/products.php?product=TB_EX
Pretty cheap if you ask me.

They all look pretty poorly cut... maybe if they done better it would be worth it, but looking at all the jagged cuts on those skins... it would be cheaper to just buy one of ebay for less and poorly cut the thing myself.

Im lazy

True. But I rather save $10 bucks. and get 2 if needed.

Money should always trumps lazyness. $3 vs $13...

ehh i just cut mine i wish they came out with one that actually covers the battery.. anyone find one yet?

Those look terrible. I cut mine and it doesn't look that bad.

LMAO this is some sort of joke right? What moron would pay $13 for that?

I had done my own cut back 15 days ago, photos are outdated but you get the idea. In addition, I had ran a lighter around the freshly cut edges to smooth out the lines. It's better looking in person, that's for sure.

Shrug. I just buy from by buddy. I have 2. He only sells black though.
So far, Ive had mine from his pre-release ones. and its holding up quite well.
They can be seen on: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320689127257&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT
Those are the ruff cut pics. I dont think hes had time to update pics because hes had some family and whatnot. But, for the price. $13 vs 25.

I'm also selling them for $10 shipped.
-Mobile on my Bolt sportin' some goodies-

I'm actually waiting for this:
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/5448.htm
Seidio is going to have their active case for the ThunderBolt which will cover the battery more than likely because they just released pictures of their SURFACE case and it covers the battery. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Bumper case

I know that this topic has been discussed before so sorry for a repeat thread but has anyone discovered a bumper case yet for our phone or perhaps tried out a case for a different phone that fits ours?
Perhaps if we get enough people we can contact sgp about making their neo hybrid ex case for the e4gt..

Look on ebay or google it. their are literally thousands of different bumpers for the e4gt
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

Ebay does in fact have bumper cases, but none with an open back.
Modifying (cutting out the back) the existing ones from what I understand makes the surrounding edges loose.

their are a bunch on ebay that do have the back cut out cant remember who the seller/manufacturer is though. I think this is one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Smoke-Black...ccessories&hash=item35b7e3ef5a#ht_4330wt_1185

If you happen to spot them please post the link. I've looked high & low & cannot find them for the E4GT.
The link you posted has the smoke backing.

I've got three of these (there as cheap as 3.50 shipped if you dig), the green/clear, black/clear and a frost/frost. I've got a white/clear on the way for my white ET4G. I like them personally. Not exactly like the iPhone bumper cases but close enough.

Pictures speak volumes. Can take more if wanted/needed of the other colors.

That case looks amazing. Just what I was looking for. But when I search on Ebay all of them have a back to them, it seems like your case is the bumper only. I can't find one like yours anywhere on Ebay. Help please

Seems fine to me, then again I've only had my ET4G since 1/8 and I came from an Evo with a tumor (extended battery) so ANYTHING would seem thin to me.

I'm at work which blocks ebay links but most of the links in this thread point to a version of the case I have. When I get home later (or my notebook at lunch) I can post a link to the exact auction for my green case.

So is that the one with the clear back? If so you can't even tell, it looks like it has an open back.

It is the one with the clear back. I'll get a picture of it off the phone to hopefully capture better how clear it is. In person you can tell its there but IMHO it looks very nice and clean.

Here is a link to the green bumper case I have pictured.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEON-GREEN-...NG-EPIC-4G-TOUCH-D710-PROTECTOR-/400250640556
The attached hopefully gives a better idea of how "clear" the back plastic is. I personally like the added protection for the camera went setting the phone down on a table.

Can you take pictures of the sides please I want to see how it covers the volume and power buttons.

Hope these help, kind of hard to get decent pictures that close without a macro lens.
I should mention that I personally have no trouble with button usage on this case. Though truth be told I've had this type of case on my phone since I walked out of the Sprint store with it.

What are the odds that I could remove the back of it without compromising the integrity of it?? In your opinion..

I honestly have no idea.
Totally taking a guess I FEEL it would loose quite a bit of integrity. While the back is sturdy I can bend it if pushed hard enough. The TPU/Gel/Candy 'bumper' i feel wouldn't have anything to pull it back together and would likely loose shape over time. Then again that whole last bit is my opinion and me more or less talking out my ass. For about or less than 4 bucks shipped I'd say its worth ordering one and giving it a shot if you're really curious about it.
Good luck!

I would pick one up but $30 seems expensive for what it is. I do like it tho.

Thanks for bringing this product to my attention. They also have a deal on a free case with a order. I just placed my order. Thanks again man.

Thanks for posting, I ordered it.
The free cases were unavailable

I cant believe people are paying $30 for that.
Pay me $25 and I will train you on how to hold your phone. Deal?

I think this is great. Ordered 2. Couldn't leave the gf out. She saw it and said "i need that for my galaxy note".
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I wanted to see the free case that comes with it. However, I really like the idea. I could purchase an extra back for my phone so I could just swap backs when I am leaving the house. I WISH I could see this in stores first as I have watched the video on how to tell which size to use, but I am not sure as to how far down on my fingers I would hold the phone. I also would like to see how easy it would be to pull the adhesive of; I would hate to substitute this as a case and then be out in the Texas heat with this thing on and the adhesive wear off, sending my $600 phone plummeting to its death. However, pretty good review I will keep my eyes on this accessory.
Oh, and I am also curious as to much thicker the small and medium
TL;DR: I need to see this in person first before I spend $30.

Nice woulda been nice to have know about this with the Samsung Galaxy Note.

It's good that there is free shipping but after watching the videos the guy did say that they are available at Inmotion stores...mostly
in airports. Here is a link to the site.

Put that good phone to use and give them a ring to make sure it is in stock before you go.

Just got this today. The thing looks quite functional, but I wonder how durable it is in the long run?
The case seems like generic black TPU, feels a bit rubbery. Although, I haven't owned a phone case in a while so I can't say. I'm on the fence about it, but will put it through its paces before passing judgment.

Training us to hold the phone is not the point. I can't even reach the Menu button or a lot of real estate on this phone much less hold it without the threat of dropping it while trying to operate one handed. With one of these my thumb will be able to reach all areas of the screen with no danger of me dropping the phone. There are many times when one-handed usage is ideal, but this phone is so large for most it's not possible. I bought one just the other day and only wish I had happened upon this thread first to get the free shipping. Did get a free case, though.

Just wondering if once on is there any method to loosen the adhesive to take it off. Due to dropping my first phone I have an extra case as well as an extra battery. I'm planning on using both cases-will place Flygrip on one and leave the other original. I'm just thinking I might not like the color (I ordered white for my blue S3) and may order another color and take the first one off.

Waterproof case that allows camera use

Hi All,
I'm going on holiday soon to a sunny island and will be out at sea...
Was wondering if there's a case on the market with a see through back that would allow me to use the S3 under water? If so could you please post me a link to where I could buy one?

Ive never heard of that company "Protector F" the one from amazon ive seen several videos on people actually test it so if it were me i would go with something i trust if my phones going under water.

Easy old trick is a sandwich bag and a little silicone. I know fishermen friends who did that with the Motorola bricks back in the day. But your real issue is the capacitive touch screen. It'll probably not pick up your fingers. Ever tried to use your phone with a drop on the screen? Tends to throw it off.

Geez, $40? IMO, for that kind of price, I think it would be beneficial cost wise to use the sandwich bag gimmick as stated above but find someone with one of those airtight bag sealers to protect the device furthermore. That's pretty much what that dry case is anyway, just in a more easy to use, continual usage, professional looking wrap.
