Thanks _MetalHead_ for the recommendation.
The case came today and I like it quite a bit. I hate the idea of any case at all, but this is one I can live with.

Told ya! Glad you like it. :good:

Nevermind. Found it on Amazon. Is it cheaper anywhere else? I like the blue one. It would look good with my royal blue back!

I really like my reveal case so far; except it seems like a really tight fit for the phone. Wish I would have realized that the Griffin site had them $10 cheaper than Motorola and in multiple colors.

Any pictures of the Reveal docked with the desk or car docks?

I bought one of these on ebay. I took your word for it. If it's junk I'll send you the bill. Haha just kidding. It looks pretty sweet. I hate cases, but this one looks like one I can live with.

I have an O'Box Commuter and am receiving a Reveal and the official car dock today. I will take pictures of the phone with both cases in the dock (assuming they both fit).

I got my Reveal case a couple days ago and I have to admit, I really like it! I bought a case from Motorola. A clear snap on hard case and took it off right away. I also got a Bear Motion case on Amazon that I never used. This reveal case has stayed on since I got it! The blue matches perfectly with the royal blue back of my phone. Thanks guys for the recommendation on this case.

just got my reveal today.
really nice case!!
cost $20 on ebay, which is not really cheap for a case. but i had a cheapo "cimo s-line" on my phone before that that cost me like $3-4. this is much nicer looking, the buttons click better and its actually feels slightly smaller in hand. it really is a small case.
i think its worth it, feels a little better and looks much nicer (the s-line case looked terrible). given im a klutz who manages to knock my phone off a table or something nearly every day it seems like a case was needed. (probably dropped my moto x like 4-5 times this week...)
fit and finish on the reveal is perfect. some part of me wishes i had a phone that wasnt just black weave now, to show off with the see through part.

i do have to say one thing.
this case the clear part scratches up really easily. i put the phone + case my desk plastic side down and there were a ton of fine scratches. tried to polish them out with some meguirs plastx that i had (works great on car dash guages by the way) and it made even more. yes its a case, and its made to be scratched, but be aware the ones wth these hard plastic finishes seem to scratch up quick

Yeah, mine is all scratched up too but it's because it gets tossed in my tool bag. I'd rather the case get scratched than my phone!

Anyone tried casemate's naked tough case? Is this pretty much the same one

The power support aire jacket case has some self healing coating on it that seems to not scratch as easy as the Griffin. I have both and the air jacket is higher quality. My reveal came in the box with lots of scratches straight from Motorola.

Im looking for a nice horizontal holster/case

Stated in the title. I am looking for a nice horizontal leather or something case. I bought a screen protector for mine but I am not a big fan of keeping it in my pocket. I like to have my phone on my side "business like"..lol.
If you run across a nice belt case, let me know please. I saw the legit oem side case at the sprint store. As much as I dont want to, if I don't find something that fits it without all that extra space...I will just pick the oem one up.
The official Verizon Droid X leather holster fits the phone perfect. Even with my TPU case on, its gits great! I have used this case with both my EVO 4G and EVO 3D. Its really a very nice case, other than the price...
Leather horizontal case with belt clip for Epic 4G Touch
before I got my phone, I took a chance on Ebay and ordered one from a merchant named unplugdaily in China that is made for the SG2 i9100. Despite the fact that the D710 is slight larger than i9100, my new E4GT fits. In fact it's a nice snug fit so if the magnetic flap were to open when i dropped the entire case, I don't think the phone would fly out (a very good thing). case with a screen protector was $4.16 including delivery to USA which took about 10 days (pretty fast for China orders). BTW, the screen protector is for the smaller i9100 screen but I put it on my D710, looks OK and there's less than 1/8" space around the edges. On 9/17/11 I found a screen protector for the D710 on Ebay from a merchant in Utah for 99 cents including postage which I ordered.
I just received this one. Nice case.

I'm not sure if that holder is going to work because it seemed tight around the droid x, and cases make it too large to fit.
Still, I hope it does fit. Looks like a nice holder. Please report your results once you get it.

Qmadix makes the one for the Infuse and I'm 99% sure they made the one Sprint sold for the Nexus S 4g. I emailed them but they said they had no plans to make one for the Epic Touch. I'm sure they would if there was more interest. Super nice case/holster IMHO.

Well the case I ordered is actually too big. Im thinking it would be a real snug fit for the phone if I had a TPU case on it. So I am honestly debating if I want to get one or not. I like the thinness and feels like I would lose that if I put a TPU case around it.
Back to the drawing board....anyone want a case?? $5 shipped

Skinomi carbon: some photos

HI guys.
I took some photos of my GN with Skinomi carbon skin.
Does it make it more grippy? I got a case because the phone always felt like it was going to slip out of my hands, but I when the desktop and car docks come out I am probably going to want them, so a case is a no go. I've had full body skins on previous devices but always thought they looked bad and easily peeled, but these carbon fiber ones look pretty good.
Corners dont tend to stick down. I had it on my tab and took it off. Lol

Really have to put some heat to it in order to get the corners to stick. I put the black carbon skinomi on my Tab 7+ and a few seconds with a hot hair dryer, poof, good to go. I'm still waiting on the same carbon for my VZW Nexus. Jesus that place is the slowest on shipping.
Anyone know if the extended battery is going to be an issue with the skinomi for the Nexus?

I would actually argue that the carbon Skinomi makes it LESS "grippy", but protected. It really made my Tab 7+ look sweet. Should be getting the skin for the Nexus today.
I too, am waiting for someone to get a freaking car dock(not a ****ty piece of plastic). With LTE being such a battery drain, I can't believe Verizon is selling a "navigation" mount that can't charge the phone.
That looks really good.
It definitely does look good. I like how they even have some skin for the camera slot. My only peeve, from what I see, are the way the skin corners are. I understand why they did it like that (for ease of installation), but having that little bit of area open just turns me off. Corners are usually the part of the phone that hits the floor or whatever first - at least for me.

I'm going to good for either the Light Wood Skin or Dark Wood Skin from Skinomi for mine. It's hard to tell from the pictures on the site, how the skin is supposed to look when installed.

Do actually clear TPU Cases exist?

my quest for a truly clear TPU Case..
I've purchased a few "clear" TPUs through amazon in hopes of finding something that is actually clear.. no such luck.. the goal being to display my pebble blue in all it's glory..
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0089F49P0/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M2T1_SC_dp_1 - diztronic, love the matte finish, love the fit.. don't love that its essentially a white case..
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0089CH3TM/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M2T1_SC_dp_1 - an amazon add on item for $2.99?? don't mind if i do.. oh check it out.. it says its glossy clear. yeah you can barely even read the dang logo on the back of the phone with it on.. its almost white..
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008S21CPY/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M2T1_SC_3p_dp_1 - not my fave here.. the camera hole is huge.. and it covers the buttons... Oh, and its PRACTICALLY WHITE
do truly clear cases exist for this phone? if so i would like to purchase one. I did come across a 1 piece slim fit similar to a ringke re-earth or a casemate barely there.. not really what im looking for.
Oh yesssssss....
Everywhere, my friend. Let me see if I can find some links for you.
One thing to note though: they end up looking dingy and yellow-brownish after about a week or two. NOTHING will clean it, I know as I've tried every compound known to man

I got this one a few weeks ago, and it's great. Fit is perfect and all the cutouts are dead on. In the picture, it looks a little cloudy, but on my WHITE S3 it looks great, you can read the logos on the back through the case perfectly. On a Blue S3, might end up "lightening" the blue somewhat.

So latelly i been taking my phone on my boat, so that when i fish something i can take pictures, So im looking for a case that can get wet, and that if it gets touched by a fish or something i can just put it underwater and wash it (without removing my phone)

I have a krusell on order at the moment. Will post here with impressions when i get it.
It seemed to be about the best available. There isnt much available for the HTC one. Its a very good phone, but i'm not sure that the sales have been enough for makers like Ballistic or Otterbox to do versions of their premium water resistant cases for it.
I think due to the front speakers, It's really hard for them to make some waterproof/resistant cases.......

You would be more happy buying a camera actually meant for this. You can find a waterproof Olympus that takes better pics than the phone for $80-100 on Amazon, or an even better used one on eBay.
Just had krusell case delivered.
Looks nice, But, in the case you can press the volume or on/off button.
Am going to use the Team 7 Kernel that has Flick to Wake and see how things go.

I was really keen on this at one stage. Then Choice Magazine (in Australia) did a review. Lost interest pretty fast at that point.
Its actually not a spray. Apparently they put the phone in a chamber, introduce a vapor , and rack up the temp.
Actually, given the HTC One doesn't come apart i dont think it would be do-able.

Its at work at the moment and i'm not there till thursday, but will try and remember.
Having had it now, i'm actually a bit disappointed. I'm sure its waterproof, but the design with the locking "ring halves" means that side buttons are very hard to access. Having had it in hand it doesn't actually seem to be any better protection than one of the waterproof "bag" style cases like Dicapac and makes the side buttons less accessible than on one of those.
Also, in a larger bag style i would be able to use the normal, drop resistant hard shell case as well.
That said, the touch screen in the krusell works ok, and sound through the silicon is fine. Photos through the clear section on the back are ok, but noticeably worse than out of the case.

The rain/wind resistance listed on their website is conspicuously absent from the packaging the One's case comes in. On the plus side, it does feel like it would survive a throw from a moving vehicle now. The UAG though much prettier, smaller and lighter seems almost flimsy in comparison to this tank of a case.

Anyone order a quicksand case?

And have experience with these?

So cheap but not sure of quality.
For 4 bucks how can you go wrong.
I had one on my HTC One and I loved it. Great feel in the hand and almost nothing added to the phone bulk or weight wise. Just don't expect to protect much in the way of drops.
Well I'm a sucker for marketing so I was wondering if I should wait for a Meifeng branded one or whatnot.

The cases have funny smell at first use due to cancer causing chemical agents in the material used to make the case.

Does not look that good...instead of that I would prefer to take my N5 naked.....
For 4 bucks, I'll pick one up too. I've never had a rough feeling case like this one on any phones before so may as well try it.
Had this on the nexus 4 and I loved it. Of course, I got it simply for scratches and not for drop protection although it probably did help a bit. I've already ordered this for nexus5.
I ordered one of these last week. Who knows when it'll come in. I'll check back here when it does though. I think I ordered a gray one but I'm not sure - I bought 4 or 5 cases on eBay and kinda forget which ones I got.
For those that have gotten these type of cases before; are the insides of the cases the same sand feel as the outside? I am afraid that the inside would scratch away the matte coating of the phone.

It is the same as the outside though it's not as rough as you think it is. IMO it won't scratch off the matte coating.
One's on the way eventually. Looked softer then the Nillkin patterned case.
Judging by how flexible the case is in this picture, it looks like it's made out of some TPU-like material rather than the hard plastic that other slim cases are made out of. So I don't think scratching will be a problem.
I had a quicksand on my n4 and it was not flexible at all, we'll see when my n5 version comes in.
Thanks for the plug OP. I'll try these as well.
Love these type cases. But they are not all created equally. Had the best Rock quicksand one my S3. It was very good. Have a Meifeng on my N4 and it is just as good. Rocking a Bear Motion quicksand type on my S4 and it is solid as well. But I've tried some knock offs until I found the good ones and found that those, while they had the feel, were very flimsy and would crack.
The problem I've found is that I haven't found one mfg that supports multiple phones. None of those that I named had a case for any of the phones except the one I already had it on. =-O

Got mine today, black version. Looks great on N5, fits like a glove but still easy enough to get it off and it doesn't add much bulk at all. Tiny lips around edges, won't protect against drop but good enough if you place screen face down. Material is pretty grippy, sandy texture doesn't scratch N5 soft touch plastic.
I've a gray version by bear motion for HTC One, but bought this one on eBay because BM isn't making one for N5.
