[VIDEO] Droid X Argyle TPU Case Review

I made a video review this morning for the Droid X Argyle TPU Cases. I used a Droid 2 to record it, so the video quality isn't quite professional quality
For some reason on all the videos I've made on the Droid 2, the first 2-3 seconds have a high pitch whine in the audio. Anyone else had that problem?

Yes you can get them cheaper if your willing to wait a few weeks, but if you already have your phone that could be a costly mistake, as who knows how many times you might drop it the cheapest US seller I could find was selling them for $7.95 shipped.

i'll agree with that. get selling!
also since you do have them, couple of questions. are they a soft material like those silicone cases? do they have a rubberized finish so that they don't slide much?

They are softer then a crystal poly carb case, but harder then the rubber/silicone case. These have a smooth finish, so they don't grip like the silicone cases do -- which personally i like, since its easier to take out of my pocket. but others might like more grip. the main advantages i see to TPU over silicone is they don't sag like the silicone ones do, they don't pick up lint, and they are easy to clean.

Just wanted to let anyone who is thinking of purchasing these cases. Just got mines delivered, first off perfect fit and every hole cut out perfect ( headset,mics,speakers) its thin ( it feels as if It was naked to me ) love the texture and feel of it ) Fast delivery and Honest seller. By the way I will be ordering a blue one on monday . Thanks again for selling these cases ..

Glad to hear it! I love my TPU case. The design is so simple compared to cases I've used in the past (Speck CandyShell, SwitchEasy Capsule Rebel, etc). Seems to provide almost as much protection with 1/2 the bulk! Considering how big these phones are, slim cases are a must in my opinion.

yeah! i just got mine in!! i am very pleased with the cases! they have a nice grip but smooth enough to slide in and out of my jeans/dress pant pockets with NO LINT! thanks for the extremely fast shipping!
i have some pics of my new droid x w/case

awesome! 2 satisfied customers
Which do you like better, the clear or the smoke? I seem to be selling considerably more of the smoke then any other color. Not much demand for Red or Orange. Maybe come Halloween the Orange will be selling like hotcakes!

haha!! i am leaning toward the smoke! it's a nice dark color that matches the droid very nicely! and the argyle print is subtle on the smoke. I do like the clear though! its a nice change of pace. I can understand the low demand for orange haha. its a bold color! now all we need are some bold people!

I would totally buy an orange one if Verizon lets me upgrade (Clemson Tiger fan). My contract isn't up until next summer, but I got an early upgrade offer in the mail today on any smartphone. It's not showing up online, so I'll have to call tomorrow and find out if I'm really going to be eligible. The fine print on the offer says I must be 180 days into a contract, which I am. Will let you know how it goes!

I was thinking of marketing some of the colors to different sports fans earlier today. i put up an eBay listing with the word "vikings" in the title for the purple case. I live in WI so I should be able to sell some Red to the Badger fans! good luck with early upgrade. sprint lets me upgrade every year since I'm a preferred customer (whatever that means). thats pretty awesome if you can upgrade after only 180 days! do you have multiple lines on your account or something?

We have four lines on our account. Three of the four lines were listed on the package as eligible, as long as they are upgraded by August 31st. I have never received an offer of this sort before the X.

well that would certainly make you a "preferred customer" in my book! i wonder if they are worried about people jumping ship for the iphone 4, and are offering early upgrades? although you'd have to be a fool to leave verizon and their droid x for at&t and the iphone in my opinion!

still haven't gotten mine. phone should be in monday. perhaps case will be in then too lol. if not then i may just have to order for you. need a second case anyway for my car mount.

Wow, my new shipment arrived super fast. Shipped from Honk Kong at 11:00pm at night 8/3 and is scheduled for delivery this morning 8/5! Man DHL is impressive. Apparently they clear packages through customs in the air, logistics at its finest!
So smoke is back in stock... or will be in the next hour.

Are these the same cases as DCMUGEN? If they are will you be carrying the screen protectors too? I had already ordered my case before I saw this post but if you are going to carry the screen protectors I will order them from you.

I've been considering ordering screen protectors and selling them as package deal, but i haven't yet. No, these are not the same as the DCMugen cases, those have 1 large cutout on the back, which many people have complained about (I get people emailing asking to verify that mine don't have one large cutout). The ones I have have 2 smaller cutouts, leaving less of the phone exposed. Thanks

I got the same thing in the mail a few days ago, and stopped at a nearby store Wednesday. After talking to the salesguy for a few minutes I realized I knew more about the phones than he did, and stopped asking questions and just told him I would buy the Droid X and to please order one for me... But yeah, my contract isn't supposed to be up until like early next fall, late summer, something like that, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the notice in the mail! I have a Touch Pro2 right now, and I just hate it. It's my second WinMo phone, and the frequent performance problems just annoy the crap out of me (I'm running the stock 6.5 ROM just cause I'm too scared of bricking it), so I'm making the jump to Android.

I just got my DCMugen case and it does not have 1 large cutout on the back. It looks exactly like your case. I'm not trying to tear you down, because I would have ordered from you if I had seen this before I ordered from him.
DCMugen is cheaper (by about $4), but you will get your case much slower (took about 2 weeks to get mine from him).

Boxwave Accessories now released for 10.1

http://www.boxwave.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-101-p7510-accessories/bwdd/zzzk
I have been buying BoxWave ClearTouch Crystal screen protectors for all of my devices for years, and they are PERFECT.
No solutions, no bubbles, 100% clear, you can clean and re-use them, they are static-cling, they fit perfect, very scratch resistant, etc..
I have these on my Canon 5D MkII camera, my Droid X, and other things.
My Droid X has had the same one on for over a year now when I first got it and it is in near-perfect condition. No I am not a salesperson for BoxWave lol.
Although there are some accessories out now for the 10.1, the screen protectors are not yet. I emailed them and they said they will be soon though.
That FlexSuit case looks cool but I think it's similar to those really cheap ones on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200624247046&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

cheap one ?! LOL

I doubt it's the same. I am sure the BoxWave one is better quality and that the design is slightly different as they usually have higher-quality products. Similar though, yes...

Didn't see it anywhere on the site but do you know if they make screen protectors for it. If you say they are good and aren't to crazy on price, i'd be interested in picking one up.

Yeah they said it will be released soon. Ill be gettin one.

I just bought the armor suit in the mean time. When you get it post a review up on how you like. I'd like to know how it looks and feels.

Since all of the information here has helped me out substantially since receiving my tablet, I wanted to let everyone know what is happening with Boxwave.
I ordered "FlexSuit , Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7510, Smoke Grey - Qty: 2" for the I/O model (for a colleague and myself). The package took several days to ship and about 3 weeks to arrive in Vancouver, Canada. The package contained 2 x smoke flexsuits for the Xoom. Upon notifying Boxwave, I was told that it would be corrected soon by cross ship and Boxwave would reimburse me up to $5 USD since I would have to pay for the Xoom cases to be returned. I told them it was unlikely I could return these items for that little from Vancouver, and requested that they send a preauthorized envelope. The support person got back to me a couple of days later letting me know that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 flexsuits had been discontinued and that was the source of the confusion, and said preauthorized shipping from Canada was not a possibility. They could now authorize more than $5 for the shipment.
Anyway, I will have to return the shipment out of my own pocket to have any chance of a refund.

Does anyone know if the antiglare screen protector dulls the screen's color or output? I have the Invisible Shield, but has its corners messed up from the media dock. It also seems to pick up little "dimples" over time. For some reason, my Evo 4G kept getting the same dimples over time and done know what causes it.

Wish I'd seen this yesterday. I ordered the same case from Amazon for $19.95, but I still need to claim my ebates signup bonus. I'll post a review when it comes in tomorrow.
From what I've seen, this is identical to the Marware case but with fake leather on the lid instead of fabric.
Edit: and I'll never find out. Ordered with Prime early last week, and the seller hasn't shipped yet according to UPS. Cancelled my order and I'll probably buy the Marware instead.

Yeah, it looks just like my Marware case, which I love btw!

Looks like the case a coworker has on thier ipad. hopefully it works as well

I got that case a week ago for 10$ with a coupon. It is disappointing and is not worth over 10$. Back case is molded plastic, front is thin and not too durable felt/leather(?) sandwich that folds back and sort of creates a stand. Bump it and it will fall. Very cheap quality.

the Marware case has no problem sticking to skins that i got from ebay also.. i bought 2 and put one of them around the glass but the other two are on the front and back of the case.. no problem sticking and looks cool... of course you have to take a razor and cut the seam out..

I have this case and so far I love it. Like many people have mentioned it's not the highest quality material but it gives great protection, is functional (love the stand), and looks pretty good. Not only that but it's half the price of the marware one! Would definitely recommend this.

After two orders, finally got one. If your primary use for the KF is to stand in landscape or lie flat on a desk, it's pretty good. The inner felt lining is a nice touch and the backshell fits great and feels solid.
If you do anything at all else with your KF, buy the Marware instead. Even if it's currently $20 more. The big difference between the two is that the Acase's lid doesn't fold all the way back, so you can't one-hand it anymore without the lid flapping around to the left. For my purposes, it's crap. Return'd.

Great deal!

From what I've read the Marware case can be laid down completely flat whereas the Acase has issues with that. They are both designed the same but I guess you get what you pay for. I have the Marware case because it was included in my gift. I'm glad I didn't get the Acase for myself though. That tiny issue would've drove my insane lol.

How does everyone like this case?

The plastic part holds the kindle very well. The flap however, leaves much to be desired. It doesn't close all the way, and doesn't fold behind the kindle properly. There's not enough fabric on the "hinge" so it won't fit flush.
It drives me crazy, and I hate it =P

I ordered both this case and the marware case. I will take pics of both and let you guys know the differences.

Shows it on the preorder page. Currently 87/1400 with 30 days to go.

JUST PREORDERED! #89!
This is going to be the case that keeps our ONEPLUS protected but gives us our precious back which we all love to feel!
PREORDER PEOPLE!

Idk if we'll get enough people to pre-order to even get this bumper made. I mean It's still in the double digits.

There is 30 days left and they will give you a refund if they dont get enough. This is by far the most beastly case you can get for our phone. PREORDER SO WE CAN GET THIS SICK CASE! There is no reason not too!
If they reach 70% of there goal they start production so lets get there!

#96 here

You have nothing to lose, money will be returned if they don't make the 1400. Plus it's only day 3, and there are 30 days left! That's on track for 3000+.

Well if you look at an Otterbox they start at $40 bucks. This is a premium case for our beautiful phone. The company has incredible screen protectors and there cases have proven to be really protective.
I want to protect my device but still have the back open. This is the case to do that.
If you don't want a one of a kind case for our device than don't purchase. This is basically the only high end case from a high end company, I pre-ordered right away.

1500 pre-orders... lol...

So they want you to pre order a bumper for $30 without seeing it.

You know you CAN see the one they made for the iPhone.
Personally, I am not a fan of bumper cases, I do realize that the bulk of the damage on a phone happens on its' sides but I just can't help it, I want a case that covers the back too. That's why my favorite kind of cases are the hybrid "TPU on the sides + a hard back" type.
I can however understand the guys that want to see and touch the back too, especially one as unique as the One's.
If this bumper came fused to a hard back too I could prolly see myself paying the 30+ USD price.

Use a rubber band.

This is NOT a casing, it's a mere bumper. An Otterbox is a fully protective casing.
$30 for a bumper only; or,
$40 for a fully protective casing.
Which do you think is more valuable? Unless Evolutive Labs show us the design and prove that their bumper really works on this device, I'm not buying this. You cannot believe them right away by watching their iPhone demo. The iPhone is thicker and is easier to get protection from the bumpers. The OnePlus One is very thin and how do you think a bumper (unless bulky), is going to protect the device?
And no, they have NO cases sold or made and used by the consumers. There is nothing to be proven. The iPhone crashguard is still in the Kickstarter stage. Nobody have used it, nobody have proved that their crashguard actually works. This is Evolutive Labs's first take on a bumper.
While I do like their screen protector, but there are still some things that I'm not satisfied but I'm not going into that here. Well, it's up to you. It's your money after all. Okay, how about you prove it to us that it works when it gets on your hands (IF this thing actually make it into production)? For science, of course.

Half off on these skins until the 4th

I don't know the rules on advertising, but I'm not trying to advertise.
I noticed this site, SlickWraps.com is having a half off sale until the 4th. What caught my eye were the unique textured skins towards the bottom of the list. They're $25-$28 normally which I consider unreasonable, but for half off, that makes them intriguing to me. I'm interested in having a skin with polyester texture to it. But it also applies to the cheaper ones which puts them under $9
anyway thought I'd share.

Your post is actually advertisement, though.

I couldnt care if anyone actually buys them. I'm just trying a skin out for the 1st time, I typically use cases. Thought I'd share because I think normal-priced skins, even from dbrand are unreasonable. Like I'd pay $20 for whats basically a sticker. I find it an easier pill to swallow to buy a fancier sticker for $13
Now I'm interested in anyone with a suggestion for a flass screen protector. I can't find one without that dot matrix junk on them. Who thought that was a good idea?

Their 50% off sale is just a bulls*it. Normally you can buy sticker only for back side for 9.99$ or full set 20-25$. But when they has sales you can only buy full sets (20-25$ and minus discount %). Its great for people buying full sets but i myself prefer only back side. That's why i'm buying from Dbrand. From Drand you can actually buy just for parts you want and when they have discounts its really real discounts not like Slickwraps "we will cheat customers".

Except DBrand has horrible customer service. 1st and last time I bought from them was just last month. Got skins for my Surface Pro and they send me an email saying because they were having a sale my 2 day shipping was going to be delayed. Took 2 weeks. Sent an email twice to their CS and never heard back. Do like the wood grain skin though
