Igadgitz Gloss Black TPU $2.99 Amazon Prime - Galaxy S III Accessories

http://www.amazon.com/igadgitz-Smartphone-Protector-Compatible-carriers/dp/B0089CH2S4/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1341887700&sr=8-9&keywords=igadgitz+galaxy+s3
Review to come...pics for now.

More pics....

A little about my personal experience with TPU cases. I've personally owned at least 8-10 different TPU cases through the course of ~5 years. They ranged from numerous manufacturers such as: HTC, Incipico, Speck, Belkin, and direct from China.
Review:
- Comes with screen protector. Haven't tried it yet but for $2.99 shipped damn what a great deal!
- Very little flashing on the case, runs up against the best TPU's from any manufacturer.
- Interior has a very soft matte finish.
- For the cut outs I'll rate it 9 out of 10. You judge yourself by the pics.
- Thickness is about middle ground..I've seen thinner and I've seen thicker. Nice balance between protection and thickness.
- Price...nothing can touch it.
- Grip...good. On par with most gloss TPU cases.
- Bling factor?....very low. nothing fancy here just black and clean. This might turn you on or turn you off...it's a preference thing.
- Small camera hole...I hate the cases with large camera openings.
- No stupid tether/wrist strap holes..who the hell uses those things anyway?
Highly Recommended...it's on par with all the brand name +$20 models I've tried.

Updates:
- Included screen protector was totally useless. The edges would not lay flat, my guess is that it was bent in the packaging it came in. I'm not a screen protector guy any way so my heart is not broken.
- Case adds ~3mm to total thickness of the phone. 1.5mm on the raised lip around the bezel and 1.5mm back thickness. Likewise it also adds 3mm to the width of the phone.

FYI...currently sold out At least at the $2.99 price.

Thank you for the excellent review

looks similar to the one i bought, i posted pics here. i not a fan of the gloss black, this one is matte and adds some grip. also has built in buttons rather than a big holes for power and volume. it was $7 plus a couple bucks shipping.

In my experience, gloss tpu is more grippy than matte tpu.

Bought two more Igadgitz cases for the wife.

I've bought several of these tpus and they are on par with any other tpus out there. Gloss ones, anyways.. but 2.99 is amazing
I also have a couple of their silicone cases.. also 2.99 add ons. A nice option if u have a full screen protector like me.

Thanks for the review.I bought the blue (actual color is almost a navy blue) and clear glossy which is actually translucent white.

best case for me

i want a small case, doesnt make the phone much larger, decent build quality,
any suggestions?
i saw some 8$ tpu cases on amazon, are those worth it?
Yeah those TPU cases are good. I have two of them and neither one has disappointed. The two I have are the ones below and for the second link I also have that one in a white version but obviously tends to get dirty a lot easier.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005MGUTW6/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
http://www.amazon.com/BasalCase-Sam..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1324009258&sr=1-1
The TPU-Cases ones are quite awesome. Very slim but professional, not-quite-soft but not-quite-hard, and well designed. Add to that the fact that TPU-Cases has excellent customer service and their cases are quite cheap (also try to order them direct if you can get free shipping instead of through Amazon), and there really isn't anything bad I can say about them. I have the matte black and the matte smoke, and they both look good on the E4GT.
Some folks have issues with the volume rockers being harder to press, but I actually prefer it that way, and there are a few easy fixes which reportedly work well if you find it problematic.
Just wanted to agree
I bought one and so did my wife. It is kind of an inside joke but I ALWAYS get the argyle one for all my phones. There is a subtle difference in our cases even though it is the same store. Mine doesn't have the power button covered. It is a lot more accessible. I am half tempted to take an exacto knife to the volume rocker.
The rubbery phone cases are a pain to get in and out of your pocket. Same goes for the silicon. The silicon cases easily fall of the phone and fall apart. Those hard but flexible cases really are the best. The do a good amount of protection.
The last thing I would add is on this phone I used a high gloss screen protector instead of Zapp. I like it a lot more. It was cheaper. It does soak up the fingerprints but the screen looks much better than the Zapp.
So, sometimes less is more. Otterbox and Zagg is about 80 bucks. This case and screen protector cost 20. You could get it for 10 on Amazon. I just like to support my local stores.
I got the TPU case from the second link for under 3$ from eBay nd I love it

Rearthusa Extremely thin case(+Screen Protector) for our Galaxy Note

Ive done business with them in the past with my sgs2. I ordered about 5 different cases and used there matte screen protectors with no issues. I emailed them a month ago to release something for the galaxy note and they came through. Very high quality cases and screen protectors. Will post update once I recieve mine.

That material looks very slippery. Are the sides "grippy?"
I love the headphone jack and micro USB caps to protect it from dust! Might grab a metallic color one!
I want their Steel Bumper series on my Note.
I like to looks of this. Does anyone have this case yet? I know it is silicone but is it more rigid than a regular tpu case?

Any one received the case yet?
***there is no tether included with the Rearth Note case even though it says so****
Dear ericshmerick,
Hi,
I'm really sorry for the confusion. Our design made a mistake on the
detail description. However, this Kit does not have a lanyard with the
package. We are still working on an accessories option so that you can
purchase a lanyard separately. I hope this help. If you have any other
questions feel free to let me know.
Regards
Charlie
-rearthusa
****
So in other words, they advertised to include a 0.5 cent part but will instead offer if later for sale even though it's advertised as included.
Keep it classy rearth. No sale for me (and it was in my cart ready to purchase).
wow, that looks amazing.
I received my case last week. Unlike my great experience with sgs2, I received a damaged retail box and a case with buff marks all over it. Was very unhappy but they are sending me a brand new one now. Will post a short review when I receive the new one.
Like the poster above stated it does not come with a lanyard. Screen protector is pretty good though.
Just a few quick pics. Came in the mail today. Overall has a nice fit to it. The case is quite slick(slippery), yet feels okay in the hands because of the lack of lip around the entire face. It does get smudged quickly and it is noticible. It is a soft silicon type but much more rigid once on and the slickness actually helps the feel of the unit gliding in and out of your pocket.
Around the case basically the button areas are cutout and the sides are half covered by this(bumper part) of the case, hence no lip on the sides.
The top and bottom both have a decent lip to allow faceplanting of the Note. And the Stereo Headphone port and Micro Usb both have plugs to keep the dust away, very nice touch.
The screen protector is also better than the 5pk for $4.00 ebay special, as it has the entire face covered with the exception of the ft cam notch where it is blank in the space right above the cam itself.
In the first pic my I4 with Cleave Aluminum Bumper is shown for size along with the Note with Rearth case.
This case is quite nice. I basically echo everything previously said.
It's kind of a pain to get off if you need to change the battery though, but that goes for most hard cases like this I guess. I already have a screen protector on so I'm not touching the one that came with the case yet.

I just got mine yesterday, and I have to say I am EXTREMELY disappointed in my purchase. I paid $28.00 for a case that is sub-par to the hard shell Nillkin I bought for about $10. The case is slick, shiny, easily smudged, and provides absolutely NO protection to the Note. If there was a single good thing I could say about it, it is the fact that it IS thin. It's like having no case at all. At the very least, they could have made it a matte finish. It's worth about $10.
This is about the 3rd or 4th different brand of case I have tried for my Note.
Save your money.
I agree with yeahmon. This case is expensive!!!
Go get a Nillkin ultra slim hard case instead. Only US$9.99 and comes with a screen protector too. Free shipping.
http://www.obostore.com/Nillkin-Ult...Faceplate-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-p-3357.html
I bought one and measured it. Only about 11mm thick. Great and nice fitting case with good quality material.
More colours at a slightly higher price at US$12.49.
http://www.obostore.com/Nillkin-Shi...Faceplate-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-p-3356.html
US$27.99? I can buy 2 cases and have change left.
There are a lot of nice hard cases in obostore at a really good price. Go take a look guys and gals.
a matte version does exist

I have ordered this case as well but can not yet comment on it's quality, or lack thereof, since it has not yet reached me.
I will certainly comment on that once I have some experience.
They do have a matte finished black case though.
In fact I ordered a matte one, even though I visually prefer the shiny black version (they call it noble black). To avoid exactly the problems you are describing (easily smudged and scratched). As said, I can not comment on this actually being the case and certainly will report back on this.

What case are you comparing it to? The one in ddeath's post?
Compared to that Nillkin case, the Ringke case offers better protection since the bottom has zero protection on the nillkin case. It's not only covered on the Ringke case but the Ringke also has caps for the headphone/usb ports so you don't get lint in them.
Yes, the Nillkin case is cheaper. And I also shouldn't have gotten the shiny case. But from a protection standpoint it's exactly as advertised. I don't understand the dissapointment.
I'll probably use this case as a daily driver and swap it with a thicker, higher protection case for 'heavy days' (trips or whatever).
- Frank
Disregard this post
I bought their case two weeks ago, and I am reasonably happy with it. I bought the one with "matte black" finish, so it was not slippery. Feels pretty solid in hand, actually.
All the cutouts on the case are very precise. The rubber caps help a lot. But as everyone said, the lanyard was missing, so I emailed their support and they sent me a lanyard in a separate mail very shortly. The lanyard looks exactly like what the photo shows, but I don't know how to attach the lanyard, because the case was so tight, I don't see a hole where I can attach the string. If anyone knows, please enlighten me.
Because the case is so slim, I feel its primary purpose is to prevent scratches on the front, side and back in daily use. But I personally would doubt its shock absorption capability when you drop it.
This case is more for people who like to go naked. It adds no extra bulk to the note. And it will protect it from some small drops. It will protect from the housing getting scratched.
Its not for people who need maximum protection but for people who want something that's barely there.
GALAXY NOTE

Which case do you think is best and why?

I m looking for a nice case on eBay that is not more than $50. Which case is your favorite and why?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I dont usually buy on ebay so i cant help much there. But i can tell you all the cases ive tried.
Otterbox Defender - did not fit well so i did not purchase at the store. Screen protector is lousy. Phone rattled in case.
Casemate Toughcase - again did not fit my gsm nexus well. Gaps in silicone and i do not like the larger than necessary gap between the usb and headphone plugs. Also was a dust magnet. Should have learned my lesson with the first toughcase i tried for my galaxy s.
Diztronic TPU - have two of these. Rev 1 both in matte black and matte smoke. Great cases except the volume rocker section but Rev 3 should address that. I recommend.
Rearth Ringke Slim - currently using this case. Color i have is matte black and it is a great case.
Case Mate POP! It is not too bulky, offers good protection, good grip without attracting lint. Fits the extended battery perfectly.

I have the casemate pop and Love it, but I need to use my ebay bucks so I figured why not get another case.
Had 3 cases for my Nexus as my review for them are as follows:
Case-Mate Barely There - Price was too high considering the kind of case you were getting. As it's known for, it provides very little protection but was also very slim. I would have less issue with it if it covered the top and bottom of the phones fully but it oddly didn't. With it on, it looked more like a shell instead of a case. I would not recommend this as it seems like you are paying for brand name here. Might as well get a full body protector from Zagg or Ghost Armor instead of this IMO.
Otterbox Commuter - This was a good case. If you are looking for something that will protect your phone without being extreme (like using the Defender) then this is perfect. Adds bulk for protection but also looks great as well. Best of both worlds and recommended for those that want above average protection while not needing it to look like a beast. Fairly difficult to take off so don't get it if you get into opening up your phone a lot.
Diztronic TPU Matte Smoke Grey - This was the best of the bunch for me. Price wise, it can't be beat at $10.00 with a workable screen protector. Looks wise, smoke grey is beautiful on the Nexus as it looks natural (Nexus is grey to begin with). It adds only a little bulk so it doesn't look like a case swallowed your phone. Feel wise, matte is definitely the way to go. I've had glossy cases before and it always left grime, oil, and fingerprints. Matte feels and looks very clean and provides a little grip. Protection wise, I'd say it provides average protection. I've always used TPU cases and they can take drops from normal heights. TPU is fine for my rather un-extreme lifestyle. Finally, Diztronic's customer service is top notch. Had an issue with the volume keys and they are sending me out a replacement case with the keys cut out. No need to return the old one. Would definitely buy from them again because of that as I have high confidence that they can rectify any issues.
So there you have my mini-reviews. It is obvious that I favor Diztronic as they seem to hit the sweet spot for my preferences. Best of all words in all the things that are important to me.
Hope you guys find a case that works well for you too.

I don't know if they have one for nexus but case-mate barely there series of cases are cool because they are the thinnest but are still shatter proof. I have never liked adding bulk to my phone with a case so it works for me.

They may be shatter proof, but they only protect the better cover and rear sides of the phone. It's a half-solution at best. Waiting on Rearth and will report back.

Case-Mate Tough Case: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420043 they're working on it.
I had bought a Case Mate Tough skin case for my phone, and it's had a lot of issues with the power button fit, it would turn off and on by touching the area anywhere near it. I looked around case-mate.com and noticed this case is not on their website, so I contacted Case Mate and they say it's a known issue, and are going to ship me a new one when they come in sometime during in the next 2-4 weeks.. Good customer relations.

Ghost Armor...
No added bulk, adds just enough extra grip, protects from scuffing/scratching. Obviously, not gonna give the same shock protection in a fall.. but then I've seen guys with TPU cases drop the phone and shatter a screen. (with gorilla glass)

Just got my Seidio Active today. As with all Seidio cases, it is awesome. I had the Incipio double case from Verizon, which is a similar concept. But the Active is a lot smoother and looks way better. Great amount of protection, minimal bulk. I actually prefer the way it feels with the case on compared to bare. It gives a nice feeling to the volume/power buttons.
As a bonus, I got the Royal Blue one, and the color perfectly matches the blue theme of ICS. I highly recommend it. There is also a version with a kickstand, too. Here is a link to what I got.
http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSK3SSGNL-RB
I'm a bit of a Seidio fanboy, as all of my devices have Active cases on them. But you can't really beat the protection and style. No huge logos, and the color of the hard shell really gives it a nice look. Dropping the phone with the case on barely does anything to the case, let alone the phone.

I have the kickstand-ed version and I must agree that it is a really well designed enclosure system. Works really well with the extended battery/cover. My previous Seidio case was the Active Extended for the Thunderbolt and that setup was the main reason why I decided on Seidio.
This is my favorite case and its probably the best value.

It features 3 layers including the screen protector and doesn't make the phone huge, yet keeps the phone well protected. $29.99 and I couldn't be happier.

Went with a casemate pop over my usual Otterbox commuter choice. And am completely satisfied with its impact protection. Adds bulk but most do. Also grabbed a few TPU's off ebay for some variety. Coupled with some Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor. Im loving my (GSM) SGN

Any good quality budget cases in the $8-$12 range?

So I had the Incipio DualPro in black. Costs about $8 on Amazon. It did it's job. I dropped it more than once, but one day awhile ago when I dropped it the corner cracked. Still works great, though.
I'm looking for something similar, preferably that doesn't show fingerprints? Also needs to have a flat back. I also like that's it's harder and not that flexible rubber stuff like the Spigen Rugged Armor appears to be.

This is my favorite case so far:
http://a.co/4AIQhzN
Incipio from Amazon. Sells for $8, I chose used but it was clearly new in box - must have been a return. $5 shipped and is great quality.
I bought the Ringke Air clear case from Amazon for $10, and it is nice. The only issue is that the cutouts are a little "crisp" on the bottom edge, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, except that if you hold the phone with one finger on the bottom edge, the cutout edges can be a little uncomfortable. I'm thinking of either rounding the cutout edges myself, or adding some type of stick-on padding to the bottom edge of the case without blocking the holes.

Very very good cases
Can give a +1 to the Ringke case. Got it today, and is easy to install and remove (which is important if you have more than one battery) and offers great drop/shock protection. Costs around $10.
Give the Ringke Fusion a try. Feels solid, fits well, and looks good. Prices should be around what you have.
https://www.amazon.com/Ringke-Protection-Absorption-Technology-Protective/dp/B01K5I9IKE
First post here and not able to post links but you can find these cases on Amazon. I enjoy having some type of case around my phone. Props to the brave ones that run around case free. I have two for my v20.
My favorite would have to be the Tridea Power Guard Premium carbon fiber design. Nice protection for the camera and face if you have your phone face down. This case is a lot sturdier than the one below but easy to take off if you swap batteries like I do. And if you use some finger nail polish remover and some good time rubbing it off, all the white type on the back can come off. Looks much cleaner with that off.
The Spigen Rugged Armor case is nice too. A lot less firm as the case above. Good protection for the camera and face of the phone as well. I think the Tridea case above offers more space between the camera and surface you put it on though.
Both those cases work well with the Supershieldz tempered glass protector I have on the screen.

Extra thin case? Totallee or something cheaper?

I'm looking for the thinnest, sleekest case possible for my s10+. Does anybody have any experience with the totallee cases? They look nice, and they get mentioned in all the case roundup articles. But $29 is super pricey for a thin case like this.
What do y'all think? Is there anything better or cheaper than this one?

That looks great, but not sure if I can swing a $50 case - especially when I'm already springing for the $50 screen protector!

This one looks interesting. Hard to tell from the photos though - how much of a "lip" does it have at the top and the bottom? Any edge at all to protect the screen?

Really none, it's basically flush. When I set the phone face down with that case on it kind of feels like the screens not touching but I can't slide a piece of paper under it.
Here are some photos I just took.
I have the totalee case, fit and finish is whats expected from these kinda cases, which is what I love, but if you can find the same thing cheaper from another brand buy it, they really are all the same.
Check out MNML. Almost identical to Totallee, but much less expensive (around $18 with shipping and first time buyers discount). They ship from China, so expect 2-3 weeks for shipping.

https://rhinoshield.io/pages/crashguard look at the drop test, 11 feet, no harm.
I used to have a Peel case for my Pixel 2 XL and Pixel 3 XL. They were really thin, had a white-ish variant that showed some transparency. I was thinking about getting one for my S10+, but ended up sticking with Samsung's silicone case. I like the grip.

What do y'all think? Is there anything better or cheaper than this one?

Usually these non brand PP cases are 99 cents from China since this is X-Level branded it's a little more. I replace every few months because over time from wireless charging or heat, corners tend to expand.

I have the clear Totalee but for $28.99 it yellows too quick. I use the clear X-Level but going to try this one in clear white - I used the crystal for my Pixel 3 and replaced every 2-3 months but seemed like thinner better case than Totallee for the money
I have 3 thin cases:
Pitaka - Most expensive, somewhat slippery, carbon fibre material gets dirty quickly with palm grease / sweat, Looks good, no raised corners for placing phone screen down.
Nillkin Frosted Shield - Has raised corners, good grip, cheap, looks decent.
Spigen Thin Fit Air (Black) - Skinniest and grippiest of the 3. Soft feel material shows palm grease / sweat. No raised corners. Note: I can only vouch for grip on the black version (soft feel). Spigen cases in non-black colours can be slippery (no soft feel material).
I use Nillkin the most whenever I need a slim case. It's the perfect balance of grip, looks and raised corners.

Tried one of these and ended up sending it back. The sandstone finish started peeling and flaking off after about two days.
Then I tried one of the leather cases from ESR; I liked the feel of the Samsung leather case but didn't want to pay $50 for it. That one was a bust too. The case was thicker than I expected, and the corners didn't sit flush against the phone. Bummer.
So I went ahead and ordered the Totallee. It'll be here tomorrow, and I'll report back!
I have the Pitaka one and I like it a lot. Super thin... Don't drop the phone.

The Totallee case is really nice. Unbelievably thin, and a great fit. Not sure if it'll survive too many drops, but it's super comfy to hold and it looks awesome. Nice little lip around the camera bump, but not obtrusive like on the Spigen thin case. No lip on the front though. I'll be getting a Whitestone Dome Glass shortly, and I don't think it'll have any problems fitting with this case.
Two tiny complaints. One, it's a little more slippery than I expected. The smooth finish on the solid black case doesn't provide much in the way of grip. And finally, the case is just about the same thickness as the phone's buttons, so the buttons now sit more or less flush with the sides of the case. Makes it a little harder to find the buttons by feel, but I'll probably get used to that pretty quickly.
All in all, I'm extremely glad I spent the few extra bucks for this one. The Pitaka looks awesome too, but this was about as high as my price range could go and it's a good choice for me.
In my experience, Totallee cases are better compare with their direct competitors such as MNML. I also have tried cheap ultra thin cases as well and i can say that those from Totallee are with better quality and fit. With proper care, it will fit your device nicely for a long time.
I use the ultimate shield cases, its at least as good as totalee for lower cost.

Spigen thin fit is 10$ and unbelievably thin, you won't even realize it's there
