Any questions or feedback are more than welcome

Nice video
I just found these cases and then stumbled upon this review. I'm going to order the blue one, since I have the blue phone. I really like the brown one, but there's no way it would look that good with the blue phone.

Even with four, it's not
I have two Rock cases, the black and the light grey, and the rearth ringke slim. The one that you reviewed I ordered, it's supposed to arrive tomorrow.

So, quick report back. About an hour after I got it, I sent it back to get a refund. It really wasn't what I expected, I think I'll stick with the Rock cases.

Honestly I didn't care for the feel of it, the extra effort to get a card in/out, and also the lack of the flap(?) closing all the way. Really wish they would've incorporated magnets.

Carved android case! :-D Made it myself

Hello I like to share my droid creation, this is on my case I bought recently. I always wanted a case with a pretty unique customization on it and never cane across one. So why not have fun and create one.

i like this idea a lot. nice work
I must say that is actually pretty darn cool. Just one thing though, you should have used that circle in the bottom as the "o" in droid that would have been cooler.
either way +1.
Thanks and I figured that out later when I finished but I have another case IM going to perect it on

Great idea, but you do know that your Thunderbolt is not considered a "Droid", right?

Good Stuff. A dremel would be a little cheaper than a lazer etcher.
Looks pretty snazzy. To be honest, I like the "rough" look of it... I prefer the sketched look to the etched look

Is it possible to buy just the silicone cover(soft shell) for trident aegis?

Hi,
Sorry about the title being so long . But yea, anyone know if i can buy just the silcone/soft shell of the trident aegis case? Right now I have a black one. I was thinking of getting red or green. Is it possible?
I'm sure they're going to have them available at some point I'm waiting on it too..... Want black, and red.... Already own blue!

I don't think Trident sells the silicon separately. You should contact them and ask if you can set up a special purchase.
If you check the Site you can see they sell the silicone by itself for other products so I'm guessing they will for the s3 aegis!

Anyone have a Black One and using a full body protector? Could you kindly please post pics.

Seriously not liking the sticky feel of this brand. Getting a poetic atmosphere so the back will probably stay on but screen is probably coming off soon.

Now I don't have black but as you can see its hard to tell it is on there.
Remember I got the matte version, here is the link http://www.bestskinsever.com/htc-one-skin
I've worked with bestskinever for years now, they are cheap, fast, and if you have any issues just let them know and they normally ship out a replacement real fast.

[PIC] just got my moko case!!!! Best bang for your Buck !!!

Can't believe how nifty this case is. It has a hard back , flip cover and wake lock !! Yet it doesn't add much bulk, just how I like it. The ports are nice and easy to access. The case hugs the device nicely and its sleek looking. Unlike those leather crap around the bezel .
Overall I was planning to get a premium case but for this price I might just skip the premium case. Unless its reasonably priced.

Nice, I am still waiting for mine. Does the magnetic lock cover stay closed if you hold the tablet upside down?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Yes! It's magnetic . The magnet also snap into the wake lock magnet as you fold in a stand as well so it doesn't unfold itself. Kinda smart...

Looks nice, I ordered the same one as well as the Poetic slimline.
When did you order yours? I was under the impression that they weren't being shipped until the 16th.
Now it says the 20th for shipping.
Look good. I ordered a white one. Yea I thought they were shipping out the 20th.
Oddly enough my portenzo hasn't arrived and said it was supposed to be done by the 9th. This thing really needs a case cause I'm so paranoid with it right now.

If you were worried you could always apply some clear packing tape over the metal part. That stuff sticks like...packing tape!
How sturdy is it when in stand form (both high and low). It it really stable?

I like this one better as it looks a bit more uniform and covers the side buttons and the bottom better. Poetic makes some nice cases

Nice looking case. I'm glad I ordered one. Now I wish Amazon would ship mine before I leave on vacation.

I can confirm it's sturdy enough because the magnets keep the cover in place so it doesn't unfold itself. It also folds both ways meaning you can have the inside of the cover showing or the black side showing.

From the nexus 10 review the moko is generally better build quality than poetic... Plus covering the side and bottom just makes it more difficult to use them... Disclaimer I have the moko for nexus 10... Its great for the price

What case are you using

I haven't had any luck finding a case yet in the mall and the cases at the store were ugly. I hate shopping amazon bc the pics never show the real quality and protection. Just curious as to what people are using as far as brands thus far. I love the feel but I need to protect this $708 investment!

Diztronic high gloss clear TPU, probably the same one as rick. Works great.
I am using Tech21 smoke/grey one. Though it was my only choice, it fits just right and buttons aren't that hard to press. (Hint: press home button to wake the phone)

no it does not have all the functions nor does it use the back plate thing
It is just a filler till I get a better one
I just received my Spigen case - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DCICXMU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Fitment is good, it adds minimal thickness to the device, and seems like it will add just enough protection to make me happy. I had a similar case on my Note II and was very happy.

Make sure to update us when you get it. I'm really thinking about that case, but $25 seems steep.
Hate buying these thin devices and bulking them up. Had a similar snap on polycarbonate on my last phone.

under 4 bucks, hopefully it'll last
decided to go with a cheap TPU for just under $2 shipped from ebay, I prefer TPU over the minimalist cases because it protects the top and bottom of the phone.

A little off topic, but care to share your lockscreen app/theme?
And I actually purchased that same Diztronic case thanks to your post in the other thread. I figured it was pretty simplistic enough to get me through as I wait for my neo hybrid.
