Vibrant TPU Case question

After reading a few threads here about the best case, I decided that I will purchase a TPU case (clear smoke argyle). I was looking at ebay and see the same item/design by these 2 sellers. One is $3.87 other is $7.49. Anyone know what the difference between these 2 is?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370473226743 - $3.87
http://cgi.ebay.com/Argyle-Smoke-Flexi-Skin-Cover-Samsung-Vibrant-T959-/310291583683 - $7.49
There is another for $6.95 it says that it comes in a retail package, where as the first one it says it's "generic." Looks the same to me in the pictures.
http://cgi.ebay.com/SMOKE-Argyle-So...617919?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item255d54a37f
Any help? Oh, and I looked around a lot, but wasn't able to find one without the argyle pattern that is also clear smoke. (didn't like the hybrid one too much). Anyone away of any such case?
Thanks!

I bought a smoke case from accstation and it seems to fit well, but the case is so rigid that the case over the power and volume keys make it very hard to press the keys. After some careful stretching they seem to work well enough, at the aesthetic expense of those small areas of the case. I also bought a similar Purple TPU case from post3rs on Ebay. It seemed to have the same issue over the power and volume buttons. I've dropped the vibrant on concrete from 4 feet 3 times with that case and so far it's saved me, and i'm considering cutting out the power + volume with a razor knife.......... Not sure how some of the more pricey cases compare in this arena but it's worth mentioning my experience.

i think they are all the same cases, but rustychiles is right, its extraordinarily rigid making the buttons hard to press, i would recommend that "best case" over the argyle one since its far easier to press the buttons, on the other hand, it is a nice looking case
also, to rustychiles, don't cut out the buttons, they will become recessed and much harder to press, i tried that with a cheap silicone case cause i didnt like it and i was curious too, it doesnt work

Thanks for the reply guys.
@bdroc, which "best case" are you referring to?

its that thread about "the best case in the world"

Got it, thanks. I ended up going with the TPU argyle case. Not a big fan of the pattern, but I like the feel of TPU more than the hard plastic in the hybrid version.

be sure to give us your review on it when you get it!
btw, is it a hard cover or soft cover?

Ok, will do. It's a TPU case, so I think the feel of it will lie somewhere between soft silicone and hard plastic. Just the way I like it -semi soft or semi hard, depends on how you look at it.

Oh BTW, if you are interested, someone already posted a mini review and pics for the TPU argyle case here, which is what convinced me to get this case. I think there's also pics in the "best case" thread here on xda.

Get the cheapest one you can get because you are going to have to cut out the buttons anyway. I have 2 of the TPUs and they are the best cases out there. Both of the TPUs were the same materials and the buttons are so hard to press you have to cut them out, which I did. I highly recommend TPUs.
I have 5 other types of cases (non-TPU) like Gel, etc and I can say that TPU offers the best combination of protection and feel. It doesnt catch lint in your pockets like other types do. I dropped it many times and no scratches whatsoever.

Update: Instead of cutting out the case over the power and volume buttons I heated up a flat head screwdriver with a flame and gently thinned out the TPU case over the power and volume buttons by gently melting and stretching the case and couldn't be happier with the results. The cases don't melt the way you want them to, and aesthetically I could probably do better next time by using a hot surface the same size as the area I am stretching but it doesn't look that bad and it's as functional as I'd like it to be now.

Don't cut the case! As someone else said, it makes the buttons recessed and hard to press. Take a small piece of tape and place it on the insides of the case, under the power and volume buttons. Works a lot better.

i agree, TPU is one of the best cases. i first got a TPU case for my iphone 3g and i loved it so much that when i bought my vibrant i got the exact same case for it
after the first day, i also learned that the buttons couldn't be pressed so i had to take an x acto knife to cut the holes out. now its not so bad

LOL @ cutting / blowtorching the cases... i used the tape method.

There seems to be 2 types of materials, 3 finishes.
On mine, the clearish part is a slightly-bendable hard plastic with the texture of what all of my matte hard plastic. Think the type of plastic that is one most power adapters (that aren't shiny) but add a slightly bendable aspect to it.
The black part on the back is shiny, slick, smooth, and more flexible. It's similar to silicon cases (what I can assume you mean by soft gel/rubber) but I think it's still different. It seems to be less "floppy" even though it is very bendable. The shiny black part seems to "stick" to certain surfaces (such as my desk and other hard/flat surfaces) but not to some that you would expect (it doesn't stick to my pockets at all and glides just fine across my clothing, car seat, and non-leather furniture - it might stick to leather, I don't know). The black part on the front appears to be the same material as the black part on the back, but with a matte finish. The result of the different finish is that it doesn't have the "stickiness" on much of any surface, yet still gives your hand a slight bit of grip beyond what the stock TBolt gives you.
Overall, the "feel in hand" is comfortable and it gives you extra grip but doesn't feel sticky or anything like that. Imagine going from a slick, hard-plastic phone to a phone with a rubberized body (like our TBolt has). Going from a naked TBolt to this case is kinda like taking that one step further. But in no way could I ever describe it as "feeling sticky" in my hand or pocket.

So it looks like/feels like it's not going to just fall apart or anything like that, if that's what you mean. I can't envision drops/dings or other daily use wearing it down.
The ONE concern that I have about it holding up is because it is made with two types of "plastic" (I don't know if it's plastic, silicon, rubber, or whatever, hence my quotes). I fear that if I take the case off and on a lot (for my car dock), that the joints of the two plastics might start to come apart. This is NOT based on any quality issues that I have seen so far, just a concern based on the fact that this wasn't produced in a single mold when it was melted down (this is coming from somebody with an engineering background).
I will be shocked, though, if I have a problem with this case in the next 6 months, and for $5, well, I'd say that's pretty damned good!

Read my post a couple posts up about the 2 different types of materials with 3 finishes. As best as I can tell, the inside is the same material as the outside. What this means is that 60% of it is the very flexible plastic while the clear part does cover ~40% of the back. I would expect the black part to offer more protection to a fall/bump than the clear part, and fortunately the black part covers most of the corners and edges. Still, I expect the clear part to offer more protection than a hard plastic case would.

Updated the OP with some photos. Perhaps they will help.

thanks for the detailed feedback!

This case will also fit into the Verizon holster/shell combo holster. You just can't use the VZW shell, but it'll slide into the holster. The fit is a little snug, but it works. I like to swap out this case with the VZW shell. This one provies more protection, but the VZW one is pretty cool too.
In case anybody was wondering, I got mine from this seller from China: http://goo.gl/62Fhx
It took something like 10 days to get to me, but I didn't mind since it cost less than a good burger.

Qubits Black TPU Gel Skin Case Pics

Product Link: http://amzn.com/B0062V037Q
I'm not really prepared to give a full review of this case yet since I just put it on today and haven't "lived" with it for very long, but I wanted to go ahead and post some pics for anyone who might be interested. These pics are of a Galaxy Nexus LTE with extended battery. I believe it's designed to fit the LTE with standard battery, but it fits just fine with the extended battery.
What I can tell so far -- the glossy/gel part of this case is rubbery and sticks to hard surfaces, but doesn't seem to stick to fabric/clothes so i don't think it'll be a problem getting in and out of pockets. The matte part is like a textured plastic -- very smooth and not sticky at all. The gel fits around the front and sticks up only a fraction above the screen like it's supposed to, so you can lay it face down and the screen won't touch the surface. Anyway, here are the pics.
If I'm missing any angles that anyone wants to see, let me know and I'll take more pics. I'll try to add some more opinions about this case after I've carried it around a little.

how flexible is the case?

Thanks for sharing large photos, it really helps to show the fit of the case. Think I'll go ahead and order one.
For those who have a different case, it would be nice to see those cases posted in a similar fashion.

I have this case too and I believe it was molded to fit the GSM version. I've had both versions of the phone and it fit the GSM version perfectly. The Verizon version (even without the extended batt) does not fit quite right. You can see it clearly in your 4th pic how it bulges out and does not hug the edges of the screen area properly. I also don't care for the button areas, as they are both enclosed and make it difficult to locate the buttons by feel.

Thanks. I just picked up one in green and it seems to fit fine over the extended battery. I am still able to find the power button because it has a different texture than the rest of the side.
It will probably take a few days to see if it is better out worse that the gel I got at Verizon. So far, so good. And it was on sale!

i don't think that is the same case. the one i got is made by Qubits.
@halo0: yes, i can tell this case wasn't made for the extended battery, and i can see what you're talking about in picture 4, but i don't notice any bulge in actual use, and i'm pretty anal about my cases.
also, like @VivianC mentioned, it's easy to find the power and volume buttons by touch because of the difference in texture.

My case was around £3 and is IDENTICAL to the pictures above and this link.
Don't spend more than $10/£5 on this case.
The reason why I am getting rid of this case is because it makes the screen/sleep button quite weird to press. (However, having this case for nearly a month you get used to it)
Sadly, lint and dirt collects easily around the lip of the case where it touches the screen.
There are NO issues with this case pulling up the screen protector edge. (I've read how someone said cheap TPU cases sometimes do this)
Does provides good protection for small knocks and drops! - Dropped my phone on wood floor twice and was well protected!

Got these on amazon for 8 each.green one for my girl black for myself. Barely noticeable and I actually think it fits better with the extend battery than the standard, mine (with extended battery) just feels better than hers without. Good skin, very pleased with it

I have three different colors (red, clear, and black) of this case and I have to say I am very pleased with them. They were made for the GSM version but they still fit pretty good with the CDMA's. (Small buldge that was previously mention) Paid $5 for the red and the clear one. $8 for the black one. I'd recommend it for those prices.

I've got this and I really don't like the button covers. They're to stiff for my liking. Amazon carries this for $9.99 with two screen protectors and a micro fiber pouch.

Decent ebay case?

Any tips on a decent ebay case?

Just received this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261027269...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
The fit is really tight, camera is somewhat protected (about 0.5mm beneath surface) and extra grip on the sides is good I guess (I was already used to the smooth finish one the phone itself so the grainy surface feel a bit weird). Buttons need a lot more force to push though. Good for some afraid to accidentally activating the phone while in their pocket, but for me it's ruining the usage experience a bit. I probably will get used to it after a couple of days.
Anyway it's really cheap and in my opinion worth a try.
Btw, the one advertised as grey is actually clear with matte clear in the middle.

Thanks, I preffer those that are more flexible though or the snap-on one.

I am using a case similar to this but bought from amazon, I like the idea that the camera lense is protected by 5mm, no scratches and case doesn't get in the way of pics
It adds a bit more bulk to the phone, less likely to slip out your hand as well, buttons are harder to press, no accidental presses while in your pocket, all the cut outs are perfect, which I was very pleased about
Think I payed £1.95 + p&p....I still think I robbed them, seriously under priced for such a well fitted case and all cut outs perfect

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320911143777
The price was £1.49 (I think seller has changed the price) and you get case, screen protector and a stylus.
All the holes line up and it adds a bit of bulk to the phone. The screen protector was not a perfect fit but I seem to be using the stylus more than I thought (it works really well and keeps my finger prints off lol)
cant complain for less than 2 quid.

I can't say enough good things about this case: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Clear-Screen-Protector-Qubits-Accessories/dp/B007V38BF0/ref=pd_cp_ce_1
It's on amazon but I've seen them listed on ebay under different names.
It basically looks just like the pictures and really looks good on the phone. It doesn't add much bulk and does a really good job at protecting everything. The included screen protectors are nice. They scratch easily but they don't show prints as much or have that rainbow effect like harder protectors. There are tons of cases out there for 10x the price but I wouldn't trade them for this one. I wish the pogo pins weren't covered but I'm not sure they would work anyway with the added thickness of the case.

I got myself one of those from ebay. It fits really well and looks decent but the buttons are not molded well. Even the slightest touch and power / volume buttons will activate. Maybe I just got a dud product.
I will try to gouge some plastic away from the bottom where the buttons should fit and it should make the case usable. Not going to send it back because it was so cheap and not worth the hassle.

The Cimo is useable (volume rocker wise) by cutting a few strips of vinyl electrician's tape about 2x3 mm wide. Easiest way is to lay the tape on a cutting board and cut into 2mm wide stripes with a razor knife, then cut each strip again, about 3 mm long. I stacked three on top of each other using tweezers. These get applied on the inside of the case where each button hits, closer to the outer part just past the middle. The idea is to touch the buttons on the phone with the back (non sticky side) of the tape about three quarters way from the edge of where the buttons meet. You can adjust the sensitivity by the number of layers you use. Too sensitive and you may activate accidentally. At two or one layers you may not feel much better sensitivity than stock.
This "mod" makes the case a viable contender, IMO. You can do this with any case and it does not permanently change the case as slitting one side of the button material like some suggest. That particular mod does not work well with this case.

Amazon used to be my go-to place for phone cases, but Ebay actually has a way nicer selection, imho. A lot of them are super cheap from Hong Kong, which is a little shady... But I've been having good luck with the quality that I've been receiving from them and at ridiculous prices ($5 w/ free shipping, etc.)
It's definitely worth some digging and will save you the trouble of TRYING to spend $25 for free shipping on Amazon. :silly:

If it had the shiny back of the Cimo it would be five stars, IMHO.
The lip is protective enough to survive a decent drop on pavement and it's not bulky at all.
The next step up (IMO) would be the speck candyshell line. They will give protection on the same order as the Otterbox Commuter without as much bulk. The Otterbox does plug the microUSB and headphone jack, however which helps keep them dust free if you pocket carry outdoors, for example.

I wish most of the tpu/rubbery cases didn't have that "frost" texture it's so annoying that almost all of them have it, I'd be happy with the diztronic but that camera cut is too ugly to let slide for my tastes

Power button is open.
Only case I've used that covers the power button and retains IR functionality was the Mophie pack. There is measurable attenuation however the ability to control IR devices seemed adequate in the timeframe I was able to test it.

I also ordered this case today (it's likely to be the last case i'll ever buy for my HTC One Stealth Black as it seems to be the very best out of the lot):

There are several other colours, but i love the Slate/Black color combination. IMO, the latter looks better than the all-black colour case. However, if you want to get max attention for your phone, i would recommend the Rust/Black case:
