It's TOO TIGHT! Yes, it fits on the phone without a problem BUT the button inside of it that is used to press on the power button pushes all the time, causing the phone to reboot.
I've got it sitting on the dash of my truck today to warm up a little, maybe it will stretch then and I will try it while it's warm.
If not, I may have to alter it a little by cutting out the nub that's inside of the button section of the case.
weird... Im using a smoke argyle TPU case for the vibrant on my SGS4G with perfect fitment. and it looks super cool with the shimmering backplate.
Works fine now that I let it sit in the sun a few hours!

Perhaps Gel case was the wrong name for it... Not sure... it may be TPU...
If you go into the T-Mobile store it's somewhat of a rasberry color up top then fading down to black at the bottom.
Had the same problem with mine. Even my friend who is a manager at the T-Mobile store said that the raspberry cover had that issue. I liked the cover so I'm going to try and trim that area down a bit on the inside.
Let me know how it turns out. I ended up taking the case off because I was worried about wearing out the power button. I couldn't even tell it was pushing in when I had the case on.
Yea I'll stick to my bodyglove kickstand case. My wife has one of those skins/shells and I can't stand it as I can't touch the edge of the screen.

I bought my Galaxy S 4G today and also bought the black gel case because on the packaging it said "Galaxy S 4G". So dummy me thought it was different then The vibrant, but it is'nt. They are the same. I dont have the problem you do with the case being tight with either one.

The clear one with the black sides. I had one on my Vibrant and loved it, especially for showing off phone skins from skinit.com and for propping it up as my alarm clock at night (thank you Screen Filter and Lightning Bug )

I went into the store and exchanged the raspberry case for the one you mentioned - I love how it feels in my hand!
Glad you like it! It does feel good and the best part imo (like i said before) it doesn't block the screen edges at all.

Here's some pics of the kickstand case. mcp2009 also has a video of it in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8445306&postcount=27
i think this case looks pretty nice, surprisingly. i was expecting it to be bulky but it really isnt. the kickstand function is neat.
UPDATE: Don't be like many of us, and forget to remove the "MADE IN CHINA" sticker on the back cover.
UPDATE 2: I purchased the cheapo Lux brand black rubber-like case from amazon and this black case is significantly thinner than the clear kickstand case, in case you are wondering.
Lol yay someone mentioned me in a post I feel special. Haha, but yea man the case is great and the kickstand works very well. I like how it's not a cheap clip that turns and makes the phone stand up if you lean it.

Although I'd much rather have a full, clear Zagg shield that doesn't make the phone any thicker at all, I do like the kickstand. Would make viewing videos at work much easier.
How well does this hold on there? If I dropped it (which I try to avoid), would it pop off and allow the phone to be scratched or do you think it would survive a drop?
its stuck on the phone pretty good in the back. it took me some effort to remove it when I realized I forgot to take the made in china sticker off.

Its attractive and the hard case will protect the phone better than the "skins" if dropped. The kickstand is a definite added plus
That and the Zagg screen protector...a great combination!
I purchased this case yesterday along with the g2 screen protectors, and the tmobile guy semi warped my phone while trying to remove the case because that damn sticker was left on there when he put it on. Its barely noticeable but I can tell. When the phone is completely closed, the left side wiggles (not the term I am looking for) ever so slightly. But it did not do that before. Wtf.

LOL - I'm glad many of you also left the sticker on and it wasn't juts me being stupid. I guess we're all too excited to keep our new toy protected to remove all the packaging. I'll edit the 1st post to tell people to remove it hehe.
That's too bad about your phone. mine doesn't wiggle... maybe you can get an exchange from the same guy who broke it?
How does this case handle the heat when it's being used?
I'm using the slip case that came with my N1. The G2 just barely fits, but its nice and snug but not too hard to remove. As the case stretches a bit, it will become easier to insert and remove.
That case has already saved my nexus from certain disfigurement. I'm glad it will continue to serve me.

From the pictures on the site, the feather looks exactly the same except the bottom part looks like it wraps around a bit further and the top has an extra piece that covers the middle section between the headphone jack and the power button.

Just got my feather in and I can tell you that there is a reason they don't show you what it looks like directly from the front. The case is much thicker than they would lead you to believe and is pretty damn ugly when it's on. I will never use this case.

It is almost flush with the camera lens, MAYBE a little bit thicker. If you lay the phone down on its back it definitely does keep the camera lens off the table, there is like a .5mm gap that I can see through. So yes, but not by much.

Got mine today. A bit pricy imo, I try to not spend more than $10 on a case. Keeps the thin profile and the material actually makes the phone easier to grip. I like the fact that the front portion is flushed with the phone(not good for ppl who like putting their phones face down). Probably gonna be switching between this case and the Amzer case. Really liking it.

Been rocking the black with my white HOX. Love it!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
They don't have a white case and I couldn't decide between buying the gray or the black for my white HOX. Finally settled on getting the gray one (I figured it didn't really matter since I'm planning on having a few cases sitting around to swap as my mood changes).
I've never been a huge fan of any soft plastc/silicone since they are huge dust and hair magnets. I have a jack russell and this thing loves to attract hair and pet dander.
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone who has been using the HOX naked has had any issues with the matte finish wearing off and becoming glossy? When the phone was first released, I heard a bit that this might happen, so I wanted to see how everyone is fairing.
I bought my HOX on day 1 and got one of the OEM HTC cases (blue one with horizontal slots along the whole back).. and its been HORRIBLE! The casing is so thin that it started to crack in the corner when I removed it to clean or change my SIM card. Eventually, a piece of the case broke off. I then checked my One X and found out that dust had been trapped underneath and because it was loose, scuffed up the whole bottom of my phone! It was a complete waste of $20. So now I'm thinking about going nude for the time being.
Rocking it naked without an issue. Having a sleeve custom made, though, just to have a little bit of protection while running around. Pics will be posted once I finally get a chance to pick it up.
Grey. Naked since day one. No problems.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Just thought I'd throw this out there. My naked white is still incredibly clean. Rubbing it slight removes all small blemishes. I still haven't had any major mishaps with the white but I'm fairly confident that it will come off easily if I get proper cleaning materials. King of surprised by how clean it is really.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
This sounds pretty good guys, doesnt sound like i need to worry much about being naked
No its fine naked. Just like the post have mentioned. A good minimal case that adds no bulk really is the case mate barely there case. If you need a case I recommend you check that out. It is very very thin and looks good. Just in case you decide you want to try a case.
Sent from my HTC One X
The matte finish is definitely starting to wear and I don't believe it will hold up. Look very closely and under bright light right by the speaker grill where the phone normally rests when sitting on a surface. There is a bit of wear in the matte finish. I can confirm this on two different device. These are white ones. This is too bad because I was really hoping the case on this phone would be super durable. With the way HTC talked it up it sounded indestructible. Looks like it's time to see how well the s3 case is holding up for people...
Nothing makes me cringe more than a beautiful design hidden behind a case. But, I also feel for those whose naked phones go flying to the ground.

Naked. There is a very slight "chin" on back just below the "beats audio" logo.
This is the area that touches whatever surface the phone is set down on. On my HOX this area is starting to "smooth" very slightly. Noticeable by eye really and only in good light. Not causing me any concern.
The One X just feels too good in hand to put a case on. :good:

I stand corrected. For some reason I though all the One series did this...mah bad!
For those who don't use a case, how is the wear and tear on the phone? Any discoloration of the white phone? I ask because I ha e a clear silicon case that is now disgustingly dirty and no longer clear and the phone looks so slick without a case.
Don't know how for others, mine stays in a case of one sort or another and has Ghost armor on both sides.
But, I can probably guess OneXs are holding up better against wear an tear versus another shiny high gloss phone used under same circumstances.
Mines white too, on topic, an has black armor on it, the exposed parts that are white are easily cleaned an show no wear from when phone is not cased but depending on what does in their life any phone is going to possibly show signs of wear in bad situations without a case.(Where exposed)
For myself, just comes down to, do you feel lucky or not against drops while being case or skinless even. If it wasn't for that darn camera ring protruding so far, I'd go completely case less and rely on G/A alone.
Thankfully, our phones are not painted, a friend's GNex got scarred badly in a case where sand got in with it,...where we could buff it out I bet.

I had a full body best skins ever on mine until my back covering started to peel up a little so I took it off. I haven't dropped it yet, but as far as normal pocket and set down scratching, none yet. I do have a screen protector on it but that's it. I love the matte finish on the back, can't bring myself to cover it back up. I was always worried the camera ring was gonna get scratched up on the bottom, but it seems to be tough as nails.
Mines still mint.. never had a case on it since release. ONLY thing is that stupid grey sticker on the back is starting to have its corners roll back a teensy bit... I want to take it off but don't know if it's necessary if I ever have to send it in.. can anyone confirm this?

I was talking about the full case from Samsung not the s view cover. I ended up picking up the light blue one from a local best buy. Only had it on for an hour or so but I have to say I'm really liking this case. Doesn't add Much weight or bulkiness to the phone and still feels very solid. Pretty impressed.
Edit: my only gripe so far is that the headphone cut out is a little small. Headphones with a straight plug work just fine but if they have a curve they don't fit into the slot... kind of a bummer as I use an auxiliary cord in my car.

Review
I have this case for over a month now, and I'm pretty much happy with it. The only thing I didn't like was that here in Saudi Arabia, only 3 colors were available for sale, Blue, White and Pink. I know there is a Black/Dark Grey variant of this protective cover but unfortunately it's not available here.
Here is a simple review that I manage to put:
Official Samsung Protective Cover+ for Galaxy S4
Pros
A simple yet functional design.
Protects the whole back and sides of the phone without the bulky appearance and feel.
It also protects the glass cover of the primary camera by giving it a few millimeters of clearance from the back.
Sturdy back, conforming and flexible sides for easy installation and removal.
The cover for the Volume Rocker and Power Button is soft and easy on the fingers. Doesn't give that rigid feel like other cases on the market.
There is an available slot if you like putting a hand or neck strap on your phone.
Cons
There is a little bit of space between the phone and the case, and if left unattended, dirt may settle-in. At least monthly, remove the phone from the case and clean it with a soft moistened piece of cloth with a non-alcohol based cleaning solution.

mine came in the mail today. i gave my little mini-review of it in another thread, so this is just copy and pasted:
this case definitely lives up to all the hype i've been reading about it. the buttons respond really, really well; and it's a nice combo of soft materials on the sides and a hard plastic back. if the green was more lime (or neon), this would be my daily driver without a question. since my "negative" isn't even really a negative, i would highly recommend this case.
