This looks pretty similar to something that I believe Otterbox will end up looking like. Personally, I think the flap over the camera is laughable but if you want true protection it comes with a price.
Picked one of these up. LOL! Why? I work in a very dirty environment that would subject my phone to a lot of fine particulates and water. Plus a 2-year old that loves to play with phones.
It is next to impossible for me to get the kickstand out with this case. I need long fingernails to reach the stand with this one.
Anyone else have one of these?
I have this case and i think it's great that you can add the extra protection when it's needed, and then just remove it when you don't.
Can the flap for the camera be permanently removed?

I just got mine in the mail about 2 days ago. i have no flap. i did also buy this from amazon. Maybe mine is older or new i don't no. i would post the link from where i bought it but im still a newb.

You could have to rip the rubber off the pivot piece for the camera cover. Then you could make it removable. It's the only option I know of.

that hole next to the camera, yea the bump on the flap is placed there to hold it back.
i had this case since i bought my TB but i got it from Best Buy n it was called Platinum. its a really good case. i would really recommend this
same I got the platinum series TB case from best buy. 34.99
its sleaker then the one posted though and looks better IMO.
The holes in the back for the cam and LED are 2 different accurate cut outs instead of one. looks better but it dies not have the flap/cover
Its the same case. The convert just has two extra layers and isn't rebranded.

Nice! How does it feel in hand?

feels nice and it has a lot more grip to it.
Does it collect a lot of dust?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Why would it collect dust ? never herd of any cases that collect.
The only problem with these type cases is the clear ones tend to turn yellow in a few months, the colored ones don't
now they have 7 cases, for only 17.99 great deal

Thank you Siberslug!
Just bought myself a case after seeing your thread. Thanks for posting!
My Vibrant gets here tomorrow, I'm even more excited now!
Welcome! The edges are more sturdy than the t-mobile case is, but the center is still flimsy.
It is also not nearly as sticky as the t-mobile case, which is a GOOD thing to me. It still has a grip to it, but it isn't so difficult to stick in my pocket (or pull back out)
I just received mine today...
This is the one I bought:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Gel-Case-...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d2a05dbdb
I was worried that it would be a loose fit but it fits very snugly on to the phone. You have to try very hard to pry it off, which is good!
It's more plastic like than it is a gel like material but it feels very nice in your hands. The feel of it will get smoother after a few days of use once all the oils from my skin get onto it.
I ordered it on 7/19 and received it today on 7/26 and paid $2.98 for everything!
Just buy it in TMO + the screen protector. Pfft. I spent 600 on the phone. another 40 bucks for a case + screen protector. is nothng.
I've looked around on Google, and the closest I got was a case, but here's what I'm looking for:
Is there such a thing as a battery cover replacement with a kick stand? I know it'll be a touch thicker, but it would definitely be worth it to be able to prop my Captivate up in front of me to watch things.
If they made something like that like the HTC Thunderbolt has, I would buy it in a heartbeat. I looked around and couldn't find anything so I'm thinking of just building and attaching a similar kickstand on the stock battery door for myself, doesn't seem like it would be too difficult.
that would be cool built into the door, but i made this...

Try looking here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739168
Some great ideas!
You could easily make on with a nice black picture frame and some super glue. Just have to find a small one with a stand that clicks in place flush with the frame for wall mounting. That and a little imagination. Lol... Might actually attempt it myself..

If you buy the otter box defender it comes with a belt clip that the phone will slide into either screen out or screen in and the clip will lock open so u can use it as a stand . amazon has the case for $33.00
lol thats funny, i have the otterbox defender, i knew the belt clip works as a stand, but just plumb forgot to mention it in this thread...

The cheap eBay Bumper case I posted about on another board arrived today and it looks quite good until you pick it up and notice how thin and light it is which kind of goes hand in hand with it's massively small £3 price. It does the job fine on a S2 with the stock battery though but with extended battery the lip surrounding the front bezel is less pronounced.
It is not great with the Zenis dock either as it doesn't sit flush whereas the Zenis one does. I was expecting it to fit fine but the bottom is not sitting nicely like the Walnutt bumper does.
So far I think the Walnutt case looks the best and also feels like it's worth some ££ too. I especially like the lip bearing the Walnutt brand name on the back, it kind of completes an otherwise baron backside, something that the SGP NeoHybrid EX bumper lacks although I'm sure the SGP feels every bit as good and expensive as the Walnutt ones.
Considering the Walnutt bumper is thicker than the cheap eBay one I was surprised it was exactly the same thickness when put on the phone, I put it on my dad's S2 with stock battery to compare in the pics below.

Wow 10 pounds for shipping to Spain! What a RIP OFF. I'll write the seller and see what he says. I doubt though that he'll change the price. I've had books and computer parts delivered for less!

Heard some concerns about the fit of skins such as the 'barely there'. Want to order one soon and was wondering what opinions are now that some time has passed.
I want a skin to protect the back from scratching or chipping from small falls, not enough to protect it from a hammer! Don't want to make the phone too bulky and will be using an Xoskin on the front.
Lots of TPU skins out there already. Quick and dirty way to see what's available is to do a search on Amazon. Diztronic seems to be an early favorite.
Search for diztronic on amazon UK comes up with:
Minisuit
Is that what you meant?
i got the s-curve one from ebay for 3 bucks (same as the minisuit one, sometimes goes under the name of qubits) and it's pretty slim. i also ordered the nilikin one to see if it's any thinner or snugger, because i didn't think the s-curve one was snug enough. i don't like the diztronic one because it has some extra cutouts (ie for the power button) which means a little less protection

Looks decent but I prefer when the top and bottom of the phone are protected as well. I mean if you are gonna bulk it up why not cover the whole thing? Doesn't that thing slip off fairly easily?
Just bought one of these for £2.99, it arrived in 2 days, and I got to say, it is beautiful. Feels so nice to use on my OPO. The picture really doesn't do it justice. I actually prefer it to the original sandstone touch.

I have bought from them for all my phones that they do the cases for. It feels almost like silk.

Stumbled upon a review on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q43HYVeiiPo
and on amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MPIC9KO/ref=cm_sw_su_dp
Be careful with the generic back cover cases..
I ordered 2 cases similar to these, a red one and white one. The white one fits poorly so i sent it back. The red one fits nicely but after a week i took my phone out of the case and saw that it left red paint on the back of my sandstone black cover..GRRRR. So be warned about these cheap generic cases. I put tape on the inside of the case to prevent any more paint coming off onto my phone. This is my first 5.5" phone and i fumble it alot but only dropped it twice but these case will not prevent your phone from being chipped, as expected since it's not a full cover. I'm waiting for my new case which is a full shock protection case.
Doesn't look any different then the xtremeguard case that I bought for way cheaper.
$3.99 plus $1.49 carbon fiber back vinyl = $5.48 free shipping
