After I received my latest order from TVC-Mall, I realized that by mistake I got S4 mini case, so I figured to write a short review about it anyway since it looks so damn cool!!! The one I received is: http://www.tvc-mall.com/details/Sam...her-Stand-Case-Green-Dark-Blue-MLC-I9190-25G/
This is another example when you have very low expectations when something cost only $3.60, and once you take it out of the box it makes you scratch your head of how far they pushed the envelope this time. The case comes in a very cool transparent package, but it's not just cheap looks when you take it out of the box. This is diary/wallet style case with a magnetic latch. It comes in bi-color design with bright lime/green inside and blue denim-looking exterior with green stitching. I don't even have a phone to test it out, so I tried taking a lot of detailed pictures for you to get an up close view. The inner case is soft TPU, and looks like it has a nice wrap around fitment for a full side/corner protection and even a lip around the screen. I assume all the cutouts for power/volume/camera/flash/speaker/headphone/mic/charger ports are aligned perfectly. The flip cover has two pockets for credit cards or driver license and another large vertical pocket for bills. There is also a cutout to close the cover while talking on the phone leaving a speaker next to your ear open. And I see there is a hole on the side to attach a lanyard. Furthermore, once opened the case folds to form a kickstand, typical for such folio cases. Overall, I was very impressed with a quality and a finish, and for $3.60 - its a steal considering some TPU cases by itself cost more than that. Plus, it comes in variety of different colors. Here are the pictures of the one I got.

Thanks for the review!
One questions though... Does the molded plastic portion of the case that holds the phone in place feel cheap? Not sure if it's just the shine it has but it doesn't look like that part is well built.

Anybody try the Incipio feather case yet?
Review?

Thanks!
I've had mine for about a month now, maybe a little longer, and I absolutely love mine. It gives quite a bit more grip, and it doesn't add much added volume at all. It's quite durable and I like how the black blends right in (I have the black obviously). Got mine off of Amazon I believe. The front has a very small lip on it to protect the face, and it's just thick enough to protect the camera as well.

from the pictures it appears as thought the corners of the phone are completely exposed. can you confirm this? last thing I need is a big chunk out of the corner after I drop it
I examined the pictures as closely as I could and decided against this case for exactly that reason. I'm going to try a case-mate barely there case. It looks very similar but after looking at some Youtube reviews it looks like it has more protection for the corners and a bit more for the top and bottom of the phone.
Here are some pictures in pink for high contrast.

Case-Mate:
I ordered the Case-Mate in black. I will take some pics and review once it arrives.
Here's a video review I saw:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gLaPnLw7-w
Not sure if anyone is still contemplating this case, but I just picked one up since US Cellular is now carrying them for their Galaxy S2 phone (it's the same as ours).
Anyways, the case is istantly my new favorite. Very low profile design and makes the phone a lot easier to hold. The pictures from the Incipio website are very misleading about how the corners are protected. I will try and post some pics a little later...
I bought one within days of picking my phone up. Have bought a TPU and silicone case. This is by far my favorite. I have the white E4GT and the black Incipio looks bad ass on it.
Want it even lighter? Take off the battery door and then put it in your feather...
Howdy all. I just ordered this leather battery door/flip case for my wife. Does anyone know anything about it? As soon as it comes, I'll post up my own amateurish attempt at a review.

After waiting for what felt like an eternity, we finally received the case! Shipping from Hong Kong takes a while. Pictures will follow when I can.
The case consists of a battery door with a faux leather backing. It isn't very plush and was much harder than I anticipated, as is the front cover. The frame of the battery door is a blue color, but does not batch Samsung's Pebble Blue. It does function well as a transition between the black leather and pebble blue phone however. The door snaps on appropriately and don't feel loose at all.
The leather material extends from the back cover around the site of the phone. It seems fairly stiff for now, but I suspect it'll soften with use. It does have a soft indentation built in to use the volume rocker built in with no issues.
The front seems to be a leather coated hard panel. It has a cutout for the earpiece that lines up perfectly, so the phone can be used for conversations with the flap shut. I'm not honestly sure how much protection it would offer, if any. That said, if you so choose to forgo the use of a screen protector, it will definitely protect your screen when not in active use.
The case adds very little bulk to the phone, and the texture of the leather gives some extra grip to prevent dropping your shiny $600 investment. Though the material wasn't particularly plush, I imagine it would offer a tiny bit of cushion in light of a fall. Overall, I like it fairly well. For the price, higher grade materials would have been nice though. All that remains is my wife's final judgment.

Hey,
Recently got my OPO and I really like the phone naked. However I really DON'T like the fact it sits on its camera lens, so I'm going to get a case. I'm more or less set on getting the ORZLY protector as well if that matters.
Here is the one hiccup where I often run into issues: the case has to have a very large headphone jack opening. I wear headphones daily at work that come off my phone. I use the Audio Technicia M-50s which have a large metal plug. It needs to have about 1/2 inch clearance on all sides for the plug to fit securely.
The Nillkin looks like a good bet, however I can't tell on the Amazon pictures if the top back actually ends at the top of the phone or if comes up and wraps around. The Diztronic TPU is also a consideration, however I can't tell if the hole is large enough.
Here is a picture of the M-50 plug for reference:

I would suggest the Diztronic case. I really like mine. The headphone opening is large and tapered. If you need a larger opening you could just cut or drill it larger. More images here https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...-nillkin-diztronic-and-more-pics-heavy.84645/
I have the same ATH-M50's as you. When i ordered my case i was a bit worried that the plug wouldn't fit, but the idea was just to return it if it proved to be no good. Luckily when the case arrived, the headphone plug fitted fine so i obviously didn't need to return it. The case i have is the same Diztronic TPU case as posted above, the only difference being that mine is the black one.

Hello,
I was picked to do a review of the Roocase Dual View Case. I've had it almost two weeks and here are my initial impressions.
Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of the packaging but it came well packaged and in perfect condition. Getting the tablet into the case was easy and it feels very well protected. The texture is a nice leather feel and the inside is a soft fiber.

The case also came with a stylus that also works as a pen. Works nice though I haven't really felt a need for a stylus.
The case closes easily via the magnet and triggers the screen on and off.
You can put the tablet in a landscape stand easily.
It does sit pretty well in this position and is a snap.
To put it in portrait but standing you need to pull the velcro apart and reattach it sideways with the outer part of the case.

This didn't balance too well and fell over a couple times. I probably just didn't have the right technique. Not really a position I ever use anyway.
The case does add more thickness than I'd like so it is hard to hold one handed for me when I want to read.
View attachment 3402781
It also can be a bit of a challenge to touch the edges of the screens (especially in landscape when trying to touch the bottom) due to the case wrapping around the front a bit.
All in all I do like the case though it's bulkier than the MoKo Slim Fit case I have been using. It offers more protection and is easier to stand up then my other case which you need to pop out one side of the tablet to get it to stand.
In the two weeks I've had this case it's worked very well my tablet seems very protected. Case looks and feels like new yet and should last forever. For your money it's a great deal!
Thank you for the opportunity to review.
I usually like the otterbox / thick cases for my devices. You know the ones that have an inner layer that covers the screen, and a thick outer layer that attaches to that. Which gives extra space between the screen and the ground should it fall. I just got this phone, and for the life of me I cannot find any thick style case for it. I am not a fan of the cases that just attaches to the back. Can anyone point me in the right direction for the thicker 2 piece cases for the phone?
I put a sample image of the type of case I'm looking for for this phone if anyone knows where I can find it?

Not much out there for the Razer Phone 1. The closest you'll find is the Trudia.
That's what I ended up with.
They didn't have the color I wanted, so I wrapped mine in vinyl.

Unfortunately we will be waiting a little while for 3rd party cases.
Purely because the Razer is not a big seller like iPoo & Samdung.
We need to be patient.
Received mine today
