Wow!! This one is very nice! If only these were available via Ebay more people would purchase!

You can actually order these through daydeal.com for a bit cheaper.

Has anyone tried this case?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/EYON-PC-TPU...696628?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item336f9a03f4
It also has dual layers and seems to be less bulky than topic's subject case.
Upd. Ops. It seems has one layer. Just edges are TPU(soft), back is PC (hard).

Looks solid.
Let's say your feelings after you got it. How big is it, how it feels etc.
Would be great to write small review.
Btw from where have you bought it?
I can order from Amazon, but shipping is high.

I make a unboxing video or photos showing my new case

Btw found it on ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Premium-Hyb...078235?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c62bc725b
Description says
"Two piece assembled case (Soft Rubber outside+Hard Plastic inside)"
What I can found out from comments - quality is not good.
Should wait for Case-Mate case.

It should be the opposite. The hard on the outside and then soft on the inside! Arg. What a pain!
Of course I'll wait for casemate they make fantastic cases. But come one already CM! Come out with a case A good one with some colors too!!!

I'd prefer my device to be cushioned on the inside rather than the outside. Thats my personal preference I guess.

I bought 2 cases like this, one just like this one, and another black and blue.
i will leave feedback when they are received and post pictures if no one does until then.
EDIT : can´t post a picture because i am noob, the case is the rugded one the OP ask for.

So you drop it and the hard outside breaks or cracks? Not very logical.

really??? Check out all these cases. I have some for multiple devices, and they're the best. Soft on the inside cushion your device, and the hard exterior allows for easy sliding in and out of your phone from your pocket.

Those are just the ones I picked up in 45 seconds. I'd imagine since CM and Otterbox do it, it must not be such a bad idea .
regardless, I imagine it's all about likes. I personally like my phone to be cushioned inside a case, rather than pressed up against hard plastic. If you like it the other way around, thats fine. It's all about choice I used those CM ones for my blackberries for a while. I got some for my iphones and for my SGSII. I can honestly say that I've never broken a phone inside one of those cases So why knock something that's just working the way it is!
Take care!

Actually it seems far more logical to me.
In case of a drop I could care less if the case cracks but the phone remains unscathed...if anything it means that the case has done it's job.
EDIT: After seeing the video of the more rugged looking one I went for it. I could see it being pretty nice for situations when I will be out and about on paved or concrete surfaces. It seems to have the silicone inside with a hard case exterior except at the corners where it is just extra thick with silicone.

Is it thick enough so the camera lens isn't touching anything it lies on?........looks from the pic that if laid on its back the lens may be flat on the surface it sits on?

Tons of those on eBay, search for "one x cover s line". I've ordered 3 different cases, all hard. Don't really like those silicone ones..
I always buy gel cases, the silicone ones are a nightmare for collecting dust and fluff.
I would not have a hard case, as it gives no shock protection when you drop the phone, it does not absorb some of the impact as gel or silicone does.

Just checked it out, and yes it is thick enough to NOT let the camera touch anything when its back is on a desk or whatever.
I have the exact same case on my galaxy nexus. It is pretty good for the price. However, im passing on this one since it doesnt protect the camera part.

No pics of the case with a phone in it though, I tried it for only a short while before pulling it out in favour of the NeoHybrid.
Short review: It's a good case but overpriced. I really thought that by "mesh" the case had holes in the back, but no. There are only dimples on the inside of the case, the back is totally smooth (which I don't really like personally).
The 3DO band is thick around the case, making the device fatter (and theoretically improving the side impact resistance) but there isn't much of a lip around the front.
IMHO it's good if you want a simple see-through case with good side impact resistance - though like I said, it's relatively overpriced.

We appreciate anything you can accomplish, if you get ahold of a second capturing device (friends phone or webcam or whateveR) if you could take a few different angles of it and try to capture the lip representation best you can that would be awesome.
I'm a bit sad to hear about very little lip around the screen, I had high hopes for this case but it sounds like it might not be that great now. So the whole case is semi flexible like a TPU case then? but its on pretty firm on the phone?

Well, it IS a TPU case. It just has an extra 3D0 ring built into the edges.
I'll try to get somebody's phone to take some pics. But it really has a very limited lip - the NeoHybrid is miles better in this regard.

I did a review of the mesh case and I'm not sure if I can post links yet, but here it is:
http://www.androiddoes.net/accessories/tech21-impact-mesh-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/
Anyway, I had a demo of the technology at CTIA in New Orleans, and they put that stuff all over my hands like they did for Phil at Android Central. It's pretty neat stuff, the orange gel, called d3o, locks up when it is struck and protects your device. They even gave me a little bit of d3o in the press kit. Anyway, it's fun to play with.
Of all the cases that I have been sent to review so far, I like the impact mesh the best. Having said that, I didn't have to pay anything for it. However, I would pay the $60 for the case, ($50 for the case and $10 for shipping) just to know that my expensive phone was protected.

AHH dude thank you for posting this.. I've been lusting after one of these since i first saw it.. I bet it would look outstanding on my white phone! I wish they weren't so expesnive though I cant really afford it at this time.. But i'm so glad to read about it..
I've always wondered if the smalla mount of orange in there would actually make enough of a difference during a drop, i mean i've seen the demo video where they throw the phone etc etc.. but those can be staged and they may not be the exact same case.. I kind of wisht hey had a 'shock' or 'vibration' sensor that was shaped like the phone that they could put in there and drop with and without the case and show much difference it makes...
but again Thank you for posting this review! i envy ya with that cool case!
No problem, glad to help.

DRACOdesign S3 Review - 30% OFF CODE Inside

The Draco S3 is a PREMIUM aluminum case offered by DRACOdesign, made of aircraft grade A6061 aluminum. The fit and finish
is far superior to all the other metal bumpers I have owned. It has very solid lock up. The Flare Red finish is flawless, unlike its
competitor's cases which included several imperfections and markings.
Thank You DRACOdesign - http://dracodesigninc.com/
Larger pictures can be found here. - http://chrismchoi.blogspot.com/2012/08/dracodesign-s3.html
The packaging alone is very nice. It looks clean and modern. I was impressed when receiving this in the mail. I felt bad for
having to open up the box.
Upon removing the case from its packaging I checked over the contents. I found what they called a Strap Cable. It's a
convenient wrist strap that works as a micro-USB cable. You can connect it to the strap loop opening on the bottom right
of the case.
When picking up the case, I notice a nice heft. It's not heavy. It's a comfortable weight and feels like a quality build. I was
glad to find that the volume rocker and power button were made of aluminum as well. The case fit very well in my hand. It did
not have the boxy feeling of other metal bumpers.
Unlike other metal bumpers, I am able to lay this down and not worry about the camera. It's very flush, it seems to keep the
camera off the surface. The opening ports are a good size. They are large enough to fit the OEM Samsung Data Cable. As
I've complimented the finish of this case, the edges are rounded off. DRACOdesign really paid attention to the small details.
I have to say I am thoroughly impressed and I rate this case highly on my list. The minimalistic design and elegant looks
have won me over.
MSRP: $89.99 and is available at DRACOdesign S3 Aluminum Bumper in 7 different colors.
It is worth the price and from past experiences I've learned to do it right the first time or buy multiple cases until you find
the one you want. I am glad the right case came along early in the game this time.
Alright Guys!
Here is the code for 30% off! It's only good on the Draco S3 Series and it's valid until 10/31/12. Snatch them up NOW!
Brings them down to $62.99. I'd rather feel comfortable from ordering direct to avoid all those counterfeits that could start flooding the market.
Don't forget to hit thanks!

Thanks everyone!
Nice pics, I would like some rubber in the middle between the phone and the bumper (a thin rubber at least )

Thanks. Sorry I made them so big. I don't have Photoshop anymore and it was too much of a hassle to install it again.

Great Review :good:. Do you think it would still fit with custom backplates (metal insert one)? Do you think the metal backplate with the addition of the metal bumper would totally kill signal?

As long as it's the same size of the factory one. There may be a little bit of room. Also I have heard / read that aluminum back and bumper would drop reception. But if you're in a tower rich area you'd be fine.
Draco sent me one for review as well. I really don't like it. I'll probably just post a link to my blog later. Aside from looks, it's okay with look, feel, and protection, but other than looks, it doesn't do the very well with the rest.
how does it affect the signal?

Most aluminum bumpers do slightly affect signal. It's just the way it works.
Thanks for the review. I ordered one last night and looking forward to it. They have some on Amazon for $59.00 for anyone interested.

They have both.
Flare Red:
Thunder Red:
They are all shown on the site.
I would love to try one of these, but to be honest, my main reason for getting a case with just about ANY phone is to make it less slippery. Don't see this case doing that in the least.... and not really keen on the idea of buying a $90 case.
So the "thunder" colors have the brush finish?

It helps with grip for me. The battery cover was where I would lose grip. Now that my hands close around the bumper, it doesn't slide out like without a case.

I would just go through Amazon and then go through them. That way you get buyer's protection. And yes, Thunder has the brush finish on the sides.
Can we please get some up close shots of the ports and buttons.
Thanks

White bumper-style case with polycarbonate back plate

I found this case at Amazon for less than $10. It's white rubber/TPU on the sides, and the back is clear, slightly frosted polycarbonate (but not 'blurry' - see the images below), very similar to the Griffin REVEAL case available for the iPhone and other older models. The back is solid, and the buttons work well through the rubber sides - a good alternative for people who like the look of bumper cases, but want back protection and want to avoid the discoloration of clear TPU cases.

Beautiful case (like most white TPU) but you're sorely mistaken if you think it won't discolor like the clear ones. It actually will look worse as it sticks out more on a white background.
Don't believe me? Take a picture of your case in two weeks and update the OP. One week if you're a smoker

And my source is myself. I've ordered and used multiple white TPU cases. Finally learned my lesson.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I've had it for almost a month, and these photos were taken today - haven't noticed any obvious discoloration yet... I think the rubber is a little thicker/less porous than TPU. I don't keep it in my hand all day (usually on the desk). I had the clear Diztronic case first, and saw discoloration in days with that one.

Really? Maybe you actually found some quality TPU. I've always had discoloration within a week -- with several different companies.
Interesting.

When I ordered it, it took less than a week - it was on Prime shipping then, though, so it may be a few days more now.

Well, it's still plastic, so it will scratch if you try hard enough. Mine has a few mild scratches, but they aren't deep enough to be noticable without looking for them.
Also, here's the same case in Black: http://www.amazon.com/BoxWave-Samsung-i9300-Galaxy-UniColor/dp/B001DNSLKE

Was gonna pretend to order it and decide if I wanted it because I EXTREMELY dislike cases. But I accident hit the "order with one click" button and bought the last one. Sorry!!! But I do really like this. Can't wait for it.

I bought that same exact one except mine came with a cheap screen protector. It's ok.. don't really like the sides though because it has hard TPU ridges that kinda hurt my hand after holding the phone for awhile.

Sorry, didn't see the amazon link he posted. Yeah, you're right, they do look the same as far as the eBay vs. amazon listings go. Just comparing both of the advertised product pictures to the actual product pictures in the OP's post is hard to tell because both sellers picture quality are sh*t!

I thought somebody might ask that! It's the elago M2 mobile stand - it comes in black and silver. It's solid (solid!) metal; I also have the larger one they make for my iPad.

Where are the good cases?

So I took a look at the cases available...

What are some cases to don't suck ****?
I got two for mine, one from PDAir, which is a belt/clip case, and one from tuff as nuts, which is a belt case. The tuff as nuts is great for me because you actually slip it onto the belt - no way it can come off.
Both are leather and excellent quality.

I switch my cases quite a bit. the best for me imo are the Nillkin brand from china. they look very chic and nice. I have the white leather with front screen protector. I had dropped a few of my phones and damaged the screens due to no front protection. Yeah any case will protect majority of the phone, but not the most important part...the screen. ever since I started using thin hybrid covers, never had a broke screen again. The cover I have is thin without the bulk and yet very nice. I get compliments and others want the same for their model phones. Check them out. you can buy almost anywhere ...ebay, amazon. I buy off ebay all the time. even though most come from china, it takes less than two weeks to arrive.

I have to agree with this...
I preordered the HTC One and I have yet to see any cases that I really like. I've kind of settled with the Diztronic Matte case and an aluminum Devilcase bumper. I mean they get the job done as I just need a case that is sturdy enough to take a drop every so often but still be thin/lightweight.
I have to say this is one of my main gripes about the phone... the case selection. (especially compared to like an iPhone)
Received yesterday this one, the Ballistic Aspira in black-lime.
Adds a little more bulk to the One but if you have fear of dropping it accidentally this may be damping well.
Found for 14€ on ebay.
I bought a Body Glove DropSuit and a commuter series otterbox for my htc one. I pretty much use the otterbox all the time, but if I didn't have it, I wouldn't mind the dropsuit. It has easy nice grips and is pretty rugged. I'm not quite sure what kind of bells and whistles you're looking for, but I wanted something that didn't add much size to the phone and would protect it when i drop it.
http://www.amazon.com/Body-Glove-9342501-DropSuit-Rugged/dp/B00CBSZFX6/
I'm partial to the BadassCase! Here is mine, needs to be cleaned for sure, but this is after about 5-6 months use.
This is what i use. love it

Wow, I haven't post here in years.
Here is the case that I find looks the best:
ebay /itm/290979521108
It follows the design of the back of the phone itself and is really thin. It may not offer much in drop protection, but if you're looking to for something sleek that will keep you from scratching the hell out of your phone, this is it. It's made of a stiff TPU and is well textured for grip. Feels more plasticy than rubbery but still flexible. Fits as good as it does in the ebay pic too. A really well formed and cut case for dirt cheap. Ships from China but I got mine sent to Illinois in week's time.
The best was the poetic atmosphere but that got discontinued and now impossible to find. I wanted a second one too a blue one

I just picked up a Body Glove DropSuit at Wal-mMart for $16, best case I've had for this phone yet. I got it in Grey, I'm actually gonna go back and get one in black, too. Fits absolutely PERFECTLY, pretty much snaps on over the phone, being a lightly-flexible TPU. I've already dropped it once today, and it bounced once and landed flat. Only thing I haven't liked so far is the volume buttons are hard to push, but that's it. I LOVE it. Super grippy, and the ribbed back and grip blocks down the sides make it totally solid to hold.
This case looks like a tank
I have Official HTC One Hard Shell and im happy with it - bought it through ebay. Saved my phone twice
I have this one , and it is doing its job very well, my one is as new and I dropped it a few times(even face down, some lucky I guess xD)
