Rubberized, Titanium, or Plastic Fishbone Case? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I was wondering, is rubberized, titanium, or plastic better for the fishbone case?
I was wondering if you guys have any experience with the rubberized/titanium one as all the threads only talk about the one with the hard plastic.
Also, does the hard plastic on the back of the original fishbone scratch easily? Was thinking of either getting black or white version.

This is the site for the rubberized one.
Any opinions on fishbone cases in general would be greatly appreciated too!
Thanks!

I have this case and personally I'm not a big fan. The rubber portion of the case doesn't fit tight on the phone and can move around. I like TPU cases because they're typically pretty slim/light, cheap, fit snug, and they provide good protection against drops. I've used this one on several phones and haven't been disappointed. You can get them for ~$3 on ebay.

I've use the rubberized one for awhile now. After pulling it out of my pocket enough time the case became loose and doesn't work well anymore. I just ordered a fishbone case in hopes that the metal will hold the rubber together better. I'll let you know how it works when I get it.

Was thinking about getting this earlier but then i felt someone else's and didn't like how it felt. Now I'm thinking of getting the diztronic case or maybe a ballistic case. Leaning towards the diztronic though.

Well I got my fishbone case. Come to find out the fishbone is plastic. Other than that I am much happier with this product. The rubber seems to be of better quality and the plastic allows it to slide in and out of my pocket without stretching the rubber.

Recommend Cheap Case For Around $10

Can someone recommend a cheap case for around $10? I've been running the Captivate naked but I think it's about time I consider getting some protection for it. The reason why I've been running it naked for so long is because I don't like the added bulk and heft they bring. However, nothing is perfect in this world and I'd rather suffer from added bulk and heft than risk scratching my Captivate. Of course the slimmer and lighter they are, the better. It'd be great if I can also access the buttons easily.
Doing a quick search, I've come across Otterbox Impact for $7.50 + shipping on Amazon, or I can get a Body Glove for $7.95 + shipping. Or I can just get those cheap silicone cases, but they can get dirt in pretty easily. My friend has a silicone case for his iPod Touch and it looks nasty if you don't keep it clean.
With all the threads on cases, you felt the need to start this one? The Body Glove is probably the simplest and best case out there in your price range.
Between those two get the otterbox. It feels much nicer in the hand and slides in and out of the l
Pocket much easier

There's someone in the Body Glove Mirage thread with the exact opposite opinion. I guess these kinds of things vary from person to person

Yes because they all look so bulky and hefty (from pictures and reviews) anyways, and well, there's a reason why I kept my phone naked for so long. Don't want it bulky and heavy.
@Others. Thanks. I'll take a look.
I have an Ebay gel case, it's an amzer copy and adds very little bulk, and slides in and out of my pocket fine.. plus no plastic snaps to break when removing it.
FWIW, I got the Otterbox Impact through Amazon as well and am really happy with it. I checked out the Body Glove case and didn't like it, but as said everyone has their own opinions.

I'd do this: the super-cheap TPU cases actually provide better protection them most expensive ones. TPU, not silicone.

I have a TPU case, and while it seems to add protection and is resistant against dirt, it is not resistant at all against grime and fingerprints. I swear the thing has layers and layers of fingerprints on it.
I ordered the Body Glove case and hope it doesn't have the same issues.

So TPU is like silicone but better? Reading that Wiki page reminded me of chemistry, which I did not do well on.
Argh $20 at FS. Might as well get Otterbox. I remember seeing some of the Otterbox cases, there's a plastic thing like silicone, which I guess is TPU and then there's a hard plastic for the back. Technically I can use it without the hard plastic, which would remove some bulk and weight I guess.

Yeah, even for employees the case is like $12.
Amazon and eBay have TPU cases for <$5 shipped (US, anyway). They're pretty much all from the same Chinese factories, so it won't much matter...
The Body Glove is TPU with some texturing.

I'm going to have to agree with this guy.
I have THIS and it is waaaay better than I would have given it credit for, if I hadn't bought it on recommendation from someone I trusted.
It is lightweight, no clips, protects the edges, is not bulky, does not show fingerprints, and is nearly see through in a smoky sort of way, but you still see the diamond pattern just enough to make it look like a $30 case.
I really cannot recommend it enough.
I've had mine for about 3 months now and if I ever lose it, there would be no other option for a replacement. I'm only buying this version as long as I have a Captivate.
For what it's worth, I also bought THIS because it was so damn cheap.......and it's flimsy, feels cheap, and gets fingerprints on it while collecting lint as well.
Stick with the Amzer, if you're not impressed with it, then there's no pleasing you.

This is TPU. The one you didn't like is silicone. See what I mean?
Dude, this is what you want:

This is what I have for my Captivate and I really like it. It is not too bulky, does not have a belt clip, is much sturdier than a silicone case (I personally like it better than my brother's Body Glove case), and I have not had any issues with dirt getting inside the case: http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-TPU-Skin-...294862?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c58ea0d4e
I bought mine as part of a $9.99 accessory package, which included a wall charger, car charger, USB cable, and the TPU case.
Cases are such a personal preference - some people like bigger heftier cases that provide maximum protection, whereas other people like more minimal cases that offer some protection but don't detract from the form factor of the phone. In my case, I fall within the latter category. When I used an iPhone, I usually opted for the Incipio Feather, the Griffin Reveal, or a simple skin (from Best Skins Ever or Invisible Shield).
Overall, I am very happy with the TPU case.
Thanks guys. I think I'll go with the cheap TPU that joeybear linked, but in a different colour and design. Maybe I'll buy a Otterbox Impact as well if I have to buy something from Amazon (HTC Desire screen protector and case)
Edit: Gg. The link by joeybear and JOLiu doesn't ship to Canada. Now I gotta spend more on Amazon or buy from other eBay shops, which is a lot more expensive and who knows how good the product from them is.

[Q] Best thin case for Captivate

What is the best thinnest case for the samsung captivate!
Don't know what your parameter for "thin" is but I found the TPU cases from ebay to be the best. I had tried a BodyGlove case and a generic silicone case but found them too thick (the silicone case looked ugly too IMO - dull & attracted too much lint). The TPU case I got from ebay has been great - glossy yet grippy. Adds about a mm top & bottom.
I have tried three different cases and found that thr "Body Glove" seems to be the one I end up using the most. It is very thin, tight fitting and feels good while holding the phone. There are really several good choices around. This is of course IMHO.

i use the bodyglove case with the diagonal lines on the back. my brother uses the sedio one that snaps in 2 and has the smooth body. the body glove is a little thinner and looks more stylish. both are around 15-20 dollars. i prefer the body glove one because of the back actually, just adds a little touch to an otherwise plain looking phone. both are nice because they dont pick up dust and lint like the cheapo 2 dollar ones. you can tell quality by the seams of the rubber and smell. you get what you pay for. if your phone is worth 400, why spend 2 dollars on a case right?

How much protection are you wanting exactly?
Just picked up the Body Glove yesterday. Really like it, doesn't collect dust and very thin. Good fit also.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VQS43U/ref=oss_product
Cheap, looks good (can't really see the pattern except at a certain angle), protects great, and is the thinnest protective case I've seen.
Check these out. They are not as sticky as regular silicone skins and they are fairly thin + cheap.

Body Glove is pretty darn thin. I have one but I replaced it with the Otterbox Commuter, just to change things up. Commuter is a bit thicker but I don't mind it at all so I am sticking with it. I do recommend the Body Glove though. Good sleeve.
Plus one for body glove.
Its perfect. Smooth enough that it comes out of pocket easy, but grippy enuff that I can throw it on dashboard without it flying off with the first turn I make.
I also think it looks great, fits perfectly, and I can hold the phone without dropping it-which is the reason I wanted it in the first place
are you looking for a hard case or skin? body glove or a tpu skin is your best bet for the thinnest protection but if you want a hard case then check out Seidio innocase surface
I just got a Xmatrix case (I think its a knock off as its not rubberized anywhere) but the fit is great and gives you a near naked feel. Covers the back and adds a bit to the front edge so the screen does not touch a flat surface if you lay it face down.

Looks just like a TPU case which if you don't mind having a not as fancy case you can get the Amzer one on amazon for $5 shipped and the knockoff ones on ebay for about $3-4 shipped. But the case you linked to is one very nice looking case.
All nice looking cases. I may have to try the TPU out. Looks nice.

+1
That Amzer case does it's job very well. It protects, looks good, thin and is subtle in a good way. The fact that it is now ~$6.00 makes it an absolute steal. I usually don't buy cheap stuff for my phone (or for anything for that matter) but this case performs like a $20 case.
Only issue I have with it is that mine seem to be less snug than it was when I first got it. I only take off my case when I have to do a battery pull so it's a bit surprising that it got loose so easily. I recently bought a Otterbox Commuter to replace this case because I was getting bored with it but I wouldn't say I changed because it was necessary; it was just cause I was bored and I found a good deal for it.
+1 for the xmatrix case. It's a hard case but very slim and is a good fit without any movement or shuffling. Plus, there is a minor lip on the front so you can rest it face down.
It snaps on in the back...just one piece.
Body glove for sure best slim streamline case

Good protection, easy to remove, looks good and that it will feel good in the hand while not adding bulk to the device I like it thin.
The first case looks like it would add a fair amount of protection, and it's also aesthetically pleasing. It looks like it may add a tiny bit of bulk though; although, it might make it a little more pleasing to hold.
The second case doesn't seem that it would offer a lot of protection, but the holster is definitely a plus, and the case is fairly slim.

If you like it thin, then cross that first option off the list. Duo layered "hybrid" cases aren't thin by design. The thinnest I know, is from Seidio, with very nice in-hand feel and good protection.
The other white case with the holster won't offer you top or bottom protection if you ever drop it. So cross that off as well.
If you want single layer solution, you should consider TPU, it's a popular choice for a reason (beside price). CruzerLite and Diztronic are good options. CruzerLite's Androidified cases are noticeable thinner than Diztronic's classy version, but both are recommended. I wouldn't recommend any white TPU though, since they love to suck up color that rubs against them.
What I'm currently using now is a bumper case. There's a few threads about it. My version did have the TPU separation problem, but once I've placed a few dabs of superglue on area, I've experienced only satisfaction with the case. Here's the eBay page for it. I bought one copy from a similar seller, and a couple more from an online website that have stopped offering them. Needless to say, price have risen up a bit since when I bought them last.

I bought a case which looks very similar to the first one off amazon which fit very loose. I tossed the case out the day I got it. The phone was literally falling out of the case.

I have the VZW GNex. The bumper fits just fine. The top rim doesn't completely fold over onto the screen, but unless you're super OCD, it's negligible. The overall feel of the phone + case won me over. You should at least try it. For only 3 bucks (when I bought it), it's a great case for me.

I can't decide... (yep another case thread)

I wanted a as slim as possible case and I wanted it to protect all the way around the perimeter of the phone. Here are the choices (in order from first to last), help me decide.
Rearth Ringke Slim - At $28 it's a bit expensive and it doesn't cover the sides. Also looks to be less grippy since it's hard smooth plastic.
BoxWave Blackout - I'm worried it's thicker than a case like the Rearth, but with that said it protects all around and is really cheap at $12. I think the material is more rubber like which sounds more appealing to a gloss hard case. Not many reviews anywhere for this case.
elago G4elago G4 - I'm not sure about this case in general.
Thanks for your input.
Personally I like the Leather style flip cases, The one that doubles up as a wallet.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-WAL..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3374db7913
I would never pay more than £10 (delivered) for a case.
in terms of slimness i've basically narrowed it down to two giants.
1. sgp ultra thin
2. casemate barely there.
not sure which ones better but from what i can tell they're pretty much the same, both at a hefty 25 bucks.
anyways, i'm in the same boat as you. XD
not sure which case to get.

I have the rearth and it is very slim, the only down side it is a beeeoootch to take off (i have a dock/charger for the phone) and if you take it on and off a lot it cracks and the part closet to the usb port cover, nothing earth shattering it actually makes it much easier to take the case off - that and the sgp ultra clear and it is almost like having nothing on the phone at all.
I have used diztronic cases for the last year (for my SII and now my N7000). They are very similar to the boxweave case you posted.
http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Fle...0386413&sr=8-3&keywords=diztronic+galaxy+note
As you know TPU protects like a silicon case but doesn't stick in your pocket or collect lint and dust due to it not being "sticky" feeling. I recently sold my SII for over $300 after 8 months of daily use because my SII was in perfect condition as a result of being in a diztronic tpu case. No, I never dropped the phone on cement or anything but I dropped my SII on the carpet from 5+ feet and the phone was unchanged when I picked it up. Didn't pop out of case or battery, etc. Because the tpu cases have a 1/8 or so "lip" on the front they also allow the phone to be placed face down on flat surfaces. IMHO and experience, a good tpu case is all you need to fully protect your phone unless you work in construction or somehow expect to drop it on cement.
So, my vote goes to the boxweave or diztronic cases. BTW I got 2 diztronics for $14 from amazon, the black matte and smoke matte. Great deal!
^I'm actually thinking of getting a real cheap TPU case like that I can mod. My ideal case is a TPU Bumper, maybe the Boxwave Black out without the back part but have the vol and power buttons cut out. I guess it's just not feasible so far... ?
Anyway, Thanks for the input so far guys, keep it coming.

first post here,
I have one of these.
search amazon for bumper cases.
I'm not allowed to post urls.
I like it, I have it on right now. What I have is different from what's
in the pictures. No cutouts for the buttons and the other cutouts are not
as big. The covers of the buttons are pretty sensitive, unlike the covers
for the Boxwave type which I got from Hongkong for 2 bucks.
Check amazon out, they have a lot of cases.
I also have the elago Breathe case, I love them I have two.
I ended up taking my chances on this. I guess it's going to be as close as I get. Thanks everyone, I'll let you know how it is when I get it.

Go for the Rearth Ringke Slim , is THE BEST OF ALL !!!
Hi all, I'm in a similar dilemma.
I've got a choice between these two:
https://www.gearzap.com/media/catalog/product/3/4/34484-2.jpg
and
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HYBRID-SI...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item416682f7b6
I know I should pick the Zenus, but would the inside bit that holds my phone scratch the outer bezel? And since the hybrid one has a silicon case THEN a hard outer shell I figured it would be good too. Any ideas?
Thanks!
I use a an SGP Ultra thin. Comfortable case. Considering the size of the phone the case is great. Merges with the Phone. +1 anytime.
I ordered this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160732471512?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649. It has a stand that works in both axis.
good
Nice

Looking for a quality soft silicon gel case

Does anyone know of any company's making a quality soft silicon gel case? I purchased the Diztronic TPU case but I didn't like it one bit. It fit fine but it is way to slick and hard feeling. I like the feeling of a softer silicon more. The only silicon cases I can find are the cheap $3 on Ebay.
Any recommendations are appreciated.

i have this.. and love it. just the right balance between grip and not-sticky. (the tire tread is a nice addition.)

I probably should have added that I am looking for a smooth matte finish with no gloss or texture.
bought 4 different colors from this guy.

all are nice and thick. all ports line up nice, seem like they will protect from a mild drop.
not really sure what your asking for here. silicone cases are all pretty much the same only real difference is thickness.

and price. get the cheap ones on ebay, if you want a simple silicone case... because that is all they are: a blob of silicone.

okay cool. Thanks. Basically what I'm asking for is a quality made silicon case that isn't to loose or has poorly cut ports. I've had ****ty silicon cases before that I couldn't even use because they were so loose.
You know how Diztronic makes a quality TPU case? Basically looking for a company that makes a quality silicon case.
i hear ya.
yea these cases are legit. all 4 fit the phones just the same. nice & snug, all ports line up good and pretty thick. ill take a mirror pic her in a sec. (no other camera righ tnow)
i had to use a second mirror to get some angles. i think i opened 40 different dimensions when i did it lol.
