Body Glove Diamond Shell Review - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

So about a month ago I sold my HTC Sensation 4G and upgraded to the Galaxy SII. My HTC had a otterbox case that I loved and really protected my device. But when I switched to the T-989, I found out that Otterbox doesn't make a case for our device. So the search was on to find a case.
I found this case browsing though ebay. The price was fair (more than half of what T-mobile charges for this case) and it reminded me of a friends casemate pop! case for his LG. I decided to buy it.
I have used the case for about a week now and have found some pros and some cons.
The Pro's:
-Looks great and really matches the phones color scheme
-Fits tight and I mean very tight! This case is hard to get off which is a good thing imo.
-The price I got it for was fantastic.
-All the buttons function properly and all the cutouts for the charger, headphonejack, camera, mics, are perfect!
The Con's:
-The case is kinda slippery in the hands. I have yet to drop the phone while in the case yet but it is very slippery.
-The case scratches very easily.
If I had to rate this case in 0-10 I would give it a 9.5/10. It is the closest thing you will find to an otterbox like case, it fits the phone great, and its affordable! It is by far the best case for the T-989 imo.

Droid Pro Argyle TPU Case

After researching the limited case options for the Droid Pro, I ended up getting one of these argyle TPU cases for my sisters Droid Pro and it looks great. Very light weight and doesn't make the phone bulky. I've used this style of case in the past on a Droid X and found them to provide pretty good protection. Obviously a single layer case can only do so much, but I don't believe there are any dual layered cases out yet. She's a bit of a clutz so if Otterbox comes out with a commuter case in 6 months for the Droid Pro I'll probably upgrade her to that, but these seem like they could take a decent size fall and come out unscathed.
UPDATE: A friend that has the same phone/case told me these cases fit great even with the extended battery. I have yet to actually see that claim myself, so take it with a grain of salt.

This one looks pretty too.

Just bought a belt holster on ebay. First holster I've found for the DP. Seidio and the others haven't come out with theirs yet.
I prefer the Verizon holster case combo. I don't use the holster at all but the case is great
very cheap price to get tpu case

Review: Generic TPU case from Ebay

I decided to try a TPU case for my Gnexus. After reading a lot of reviews one of the main complaints was the lack of a cut-out for the volume rocker. After some looking I came across this on ebay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/190612336399?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2147wt_1163
I am very pleased with this case. It fits great and seems to fit better with the VZW extended battery. The case is very snug but not overly tight. All the cut-outs are just right. No ruff edges. I haven't used the screen protector yet so I can't comment on that.
My only complaint is because it is glossy, it shows fingerprints like crazy.

Overall, definitely worth $10.
i love how dirt cheap cases from china are always the best.
I bought an 's-wave' TPU case from china for £1.75, it's incredible! excellent fit, great protection and looks amazing, all for 10% of some of the big brands! I'm so impressed I ordered another two!
Got a link to the item on eBay?
After one that doesn't attract dust and finger prints.
This is the one I bought, quick delivery, great product, fantastic price!

[Q] Suggestions for a case

I have been looking for a new case for my dad and I. I used to have a TPU clear plastic case, and it works well, but it doesn't exactly have the impact protection (or comfort) that I would like.
I recently purchased the fishbone case and while I love the rubberized feel, the plastic casing it comes with feels incredibly flimsy and non protective (not to mention it doesn't fit on around the phone all the way).
Is there anything in a slimmer factor (so anything other than the Ballistics, and others like it) that would fit my needs? So far, I have only found hard plastic shells which I absolutely don't want, and the TPU cases, which I don't think my Dad would like.
Right now I am looking at the otterbox or a trident aegis case, but the aegis seems to look very bulky.
I just purchased three cases for my white e4gt. I got the ballistics case of course which I am still waiting on but I also ordered a similar case on Ebay because they offered it in white and black. It was only 13 bucks and its really nice. It offers great drop protection and isn't too thick. Here is the Link. The other one I got was the TPU and Plastic hybrid or whatever and that one sucks.

Case*Mate, Barely There Brushed Aluminum Case Mini-Review

Case*Mate, Barely There Brushed Aluminum Case
Got this today locally and only grabbed it cause I was able to get it way below its retail. After putting it on the phone, I really like it. I loved my Incipio feather lite and this is actually better imo. The edges actually snap over the phone and the bottom and top are actually covered a tad more than the feather lite did on my gs2 (this could be from the different style of phone though).
The aluminum on the back feels pretty nice and the paint is actually nice on the rest as it isn't slippery like I thought it would be. Sweaty hands my make it slippery though.
You can get these at at the case mate website for $40, or at the AT&T store for $40 as well.
I don't think this will protect the phone to well in a massive drop, but it will obviously protect it from scuffs and help keep the battery cover like new (cause we like $40 cases that protect $20 battery covers ).
Mainly I got this cause I don't like bulk and at more than half price, I couldn't pass it up. XD
On to the pics -

Incipio Dual Pro Case

I decided to swing by a T-mobile store and check out their cases for the V20. They had the Otterbox Defender - $59 , Tech21 Evo Check Case - $39 and the Incipio Dual Pro - $29. The Otterbox Defender offers the best protection you can get period but it is ginormous! The Tech21 was to expensive for basically a one piece tpu case imo. The Incipio Dual Pro is the perfect in-between size. Excellent 12ft drop protection, fits snugly, feels wonderful in the hand and is easy to install and remove . All the cut outs line up perfectly. The camera and fingerprint sensor are recessed and the lip around the screen is just the right height. At $30 its not cheap but the slimness and protection it provides is excellent.

I saw a red one at Verizon. Back was supper slippery.
The soft touch Plextonium material is both grippy and soft to the touch. Not slippery at all.
I got mine yesterday. So far so good.
I am liking this case.
I just wish Spigen had more of a variety as they do with other phones for the V20
