Case-Mate Tough Case Best Out There! Read my review!

I will start this review by saying that I have owned a variety of different phones ( i get a new phone every 5-6 months) and with each of these phones i buy an expensive case (roughly 20-30 dollars)
The Case-Mate Tough Case beats them all.
I read every review on this board and decided to go with the Blue and Black Case-Mate Tough Case and it has been great.
The included screen protector is a great touch and the hard plastic and soft silicon allows for a great feel and great protection.
The case is easy to take off and looks great (the colors really make the phone unique because you do not see a high quality case that comes in different colors for any phone, many people were impressed when i pulled out my phone asking to feel it and hold it)
Three of my buddies all have Nexus Ones and they all ordered the Tough Case in different colors, two of my buddies were using Otterbox and they both agreed that the Case-Mate was not only more ergonomic it just looked and felt better and did not add the extra bulk the Otter did. Even tho I have never used an Otter extensively I do agree with their impressions just from holding their phones and holding mine and comparing them.

i 7use the tough case too and i gotta say, its great

I'm going to agree that it is an awesome case and I'm glad I decided to purchase it, especially over the otter box. I am going to disagree with the supplied screen protector. It was crap. I love the clarivue ultra clear protector, Its reusable, washable, no adhesive (static based) and You can't even tell I have it on. Ultra smooth, ultra clear, no glue.... awesome.

I have one ordered and it should be here next week. I need a holster for mine. Do you all know of one that will fit this case? Will the Seidio holster work for it? Thanks.

I have the black/black case mate tough case. The only and i mean only problem i sometimes have is that when I put the phone back into the hard shell, sometimes its hard to get the volume down button to work. That can be fixed by doing a little adjusting. I love this case and I wouldn't own anything else...

you guys got me interested in this case. how bulky does it make the nexus looks? the black/red looks pretty hot.....

I want it, but its cheap shipping option says it will take 3-4 weeks to Canada
even the $20 shipping says 8-14 days and with fedex... I pay brokerage..... why can't they do usps expedited?

It does add a little bulk, i'm not going to lie to you. However, in return your getting a sexy case plus a ****load of protection. You just simply can't go wrong with buying one of these cases. You definitely get what you pay for.

i use the nite ize holster with the tough case. http://www.niteize.com/collections/rugged-phone-cases/products/clip-case-cargo-medium

I bought black/blue on Friday. Tracking says it will be here today. I was going to write a review, but you beat me to it!
I report back to say if I like it or not.

To those who ask about bulk. Its adds a little bulk, but not as much as the otter box. Not even close if you ask me. And personally I feel the phone fits better in my hand with the case on. It doesn't feel like it will slip out.
Oh and the tough case gets double props for being able to buy the colored rubber inner sleeves separately without buying a whole new outer hard case with it.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

i honestly like the otterbox a lot better. its probably type of protection but i like that the ports are covered. u never know when something might get in there

My only gripe with the Case-Mate tough case and this is extremely minor is that because the hard case does not entirely cover the soft case, any lint that you might have in your pocket is attracted to the soft case.
Whenever I put my case in my pocket, it always attracts a little dust. Not enough to warrant getting a new case, but something that you should be aware of.
I used to use the Seidio Innocase II Surface, but it would keep cutting into my invisibleshield which ended up getting scratched off on the sides.
I definitely do love the case-mate though.

I took a look at the cases after your linked that and im very impressed!
being an elevator mechanic i snag my phone case on just about everything and have spent far too much money on holster. Does the medium size work well for you? i find that since the nexus one is a little longer then most bbs some cases the flap will not fold over at the top.

That case would suck for a nexus

I'd have to disagree with the speck case. I bought one when I first got my phone. It protects from scratches. But the case iitself had scratches on it from day one. Small cracks in it by the power button and the charger. Thing falls apart so easily. Also it makes the phone feel huge in my hand. Almost tempted to use my g2x naked

I second the Body Glove, it's an awesome case with great protection.

I'm curious, you guys say you purchased them directly from t-mobile? Does anyone have a link?
Yesterday I found this case at wal-mart (of all places) and it actually looked good, so i picked it up and love it. It's a body glove, but for some reason i dont see it on their website and it doesnt look like any of the cases ive seen at the t-mo store...
I wonder if it's different than the ones you guys have

I definitely second the Body Glove case. I'm not sure why more people dont use it. I've used nothing but Body Glove cases for all my phones since the G1 and I've had the: G1, HTC HD2, HTC HD7, G2X
I've had nothing but good results with the Body Glove cases. They can be found on Ebay for as cheap as $12-$14 also.

I had great success with the body glove for the HTC Touch Pro 2. An awesome product.

The one I found in wal-mart is like half tpu and half rubber. It's only one piece altogether, but a small portion around the top edge is rubber so that the power and volume buttons are easily pushable (they feel fantastic! you feel it as if it were a real button) and then the lower parts of the case are tpu (i think).
On that back side there are some diagonal stripes but they're not so visible because it's black on black, but they come off the case just a little so it gives it a nice grip. On the inside of the case where your slip your phone in it is also rubbery, so it grips on the phone very well.
Besides this purchase I was using a standard tpu case from tpu-cases.com and a tpu fusion case from ebay. Neither of these cases did it for me, i was disappointed because the same tpu cases i had for mytouch 4g were a much better fit.
Anyway, this case is perfect for me, I love it! I can take pictures of it if you guys want, since i cant seem to find it online anywhere.

It pops off every time I've dropped it. But I like everything about it otherwise. The belt clip acts as portrait and landscape stand plus it acts as an anchor you can hug with your 2 middle fingers when holding it in landscape.

Yup thats it!
Sorry about that guys, I completely forgot about this thread and forgot to post pictures >.> But yeah, thats the case I have. My box doesnt say "grasp" or anything, so i dunno about the exact name.
This is a GREAT case though. I'd highly recommend it to those of you that are used to TPU cases. Check if they have them at your local walmart and give it a try

I second the Walmart body glove, nice case

went to two of my local walmarts, neither of them carry ANY case all besides iphone cases.

I believe they are taking them out of the walmarts the specific case, mine did....your walmarts should have other cases, I would expect you would have asked so maybe not.
I was able to do a site to store, I am not sure if that option is still working though http://www.walmart.com/ip/Body-Glove-TPU-Case-for-T-Mobile-G2X/16617184
I may like the standard T-Mobile sleeve more though, and those are going for 6-8 on ebay. I think the stock sleeve has a bit more protection for drops. If you don't mind a slightly large lip

Fishbone or Trident Case???

I'm looks for a case that fits nice and snugly on the mytouch 4g slide, that also doesn't scratch.
Both the cases ( Fishbone phone protective cover and the Trident Aegis for the mt4gs ) seem really awesome.
Which ones better? Are there any issues with them?
I need to decide!

I personally don't like the Fishbone at all, but I also haven't used the Trident Ageis yet, although it seem pretty cool.

I have fishbone's, they are little hard to push out the keyboard but you get use to them in a couple days...other then that the front never falls off and I guess that's a win for me...although I had trident's on my myTouch 4g (NOT SLIDE) and they were great but i've ever used them because of price.

I have the fishbone and did not like it that much. It looks nice but overall it affects functionality of the phone specially the buttons. It makes the volume buttons more exposed causing accidental volume adjustments over the course of a day and the front case is very tight that it cause minor scratch on the keyboard. I just used it for a week and stop using it.

Thanks for the advice. Probably gonna get the Trident case.

i am a Triden case user and fell satisfy with it, protects from every side... it makes kind of bulky but the protection is what i was looking for.... i came in many colours but i prefered in black god luck!

I like that the Trident case absorbs shock and has filters on it that block dust from getting into the speakers.
Count me as a happy customer, finding a case for the device was of primary concern for me, and the Trident is the closest thing i'll find to fitting the bill.
I don't like that the USB port is still exposed, but I suppose you can't win them all - it's literally my only complaint with the case.

Good ass deal if only it was a more manly color lol... you can find the trident case on amazon for 21 dollars free shipping in all black aswell as every other color

Haha!! I completely agree with you on that. I was thinking since its a polycarbonate case I might be able to mod it by dyeing it with rit fabric dye and acetone. This should be able to give me a greater choice of colors which i may like over the few they have for this case.

As long as the dye doesnt rub off onto the phone lol

I just got the Trident case, it is awesome. I had one of those cheap rubberized snap on cases before, never really felt like my phone was protected. This one is definitely top of the line, plus it goes on and off really easy. Got it for 19.95 free shipping off ebay.

I wish they had a Otterbox Commuter for this phone ive always preferred them, then second trident.

@bmw2105
I've done this in the past, well not on cases but other polycarbonate plasics and it actually creates a solid permanent dye. It doesn't come off while wet or when cleaning it so i would feel safe to think it won't harm the phone. I would be using a full ZAGG invisibleSHIELD screen protector along with this (hopefully depending on fit) so i think i will be good to go.

Found some pretty good cases at a cheap price.....

Have a couple of these for my phone. They actually work very well and fit nicely. My phone came with one and I decided to buy another. Nice thig is the more you buy the more color combinations you can come up with. Here are a few pictures. To fin just type (Samsung i727 hybrid) into ebay and search through all the different colors. Not bad for under $10

Cool idea mixing n matching. My girl has one of these on her skyrocket. Good case indeed for the price.

I've seen them, but didn't give them too much thought because they seemed "cheap" in the sense of net being very good. Thanks for the real world update! :good:

I have been looking around for a good case, i had the otter box and its a great case but hard to get in and out of your pocket..... does the rubber on this case make it dificult to slide in and out of your pocket?

I recommend everyone take a look at the Ballistic Case line. I haven't found anything with this much protection. Check the Nexus S variant on Amazon for awesome reviews. TPU backing makes sliding in and out of your pocket a breeze.
The rubber corners that go a bit in front of the screen are without a doubt the best protection I've ever come across. No worries at all about any future drops, the extra few mm of bulk are worth it without a doubt.

I havent found any issues at all going in and out of my pocket. Being the skyrocket is very light (compared to my htc vivid) i would think that drops with this case would be more than effective at protecting it. This combined with a good screen guard is pretty good. Once and a while if you take your phone out of your pocket quickly you will notice the rubber on one of the corners might start to come off but it happens very rarely and its easy to pop the phone back in. I never liked the silicone cases but with this having the solid support that wraps around on all 4 sides it works very well. It also protects to hard keys on the sides and both the charging port and headphone jack. I like it better than the speck case i had for my vivid.

I am very anal about what I buy to protect my devices and I am inpressed with these. I will be buying one every payday until I have all the different colors that I want. I think I paid 7.99 with free shipping and had it here in 3 buisness days. Don't get me wrong though if you are very tough on your phone then I would recommend the Otter Box, Speck Candy shell or the Casemate Tough Series. But for most people these are more than satisfactory. Th rubber on the corners are pretty tough like that of the balistic cases. The case is just thick enough to keep the sensitive homekeys on the bottom from touching your face during a call.

I heavily disagree about Ballistic brand cases being easy to take in and out of pockets....my gf has one for her I727 and it's impossible to take in and out of pockets, puraes, etc.
That being said, that case has survived quite a few nasty falls. The protection is the best I've seen.

I just ordered mine from ebay, but since this case seems to be really thick, what kind of belt pouch holster do you recommend, I guess the one I use actually will not fit?

Perhaps. The in/out of pocket is really a relative opinion unfortunately since some consider any resistance a huge annoyance. I can see the corners being an issue though, especially if you like to keep the phone in front Jean pockets.

To be honest I'm not sure which will fit. I had the otter box and the pt case combo for my inspire and I didn't like either one. Just gets in my way a lot. I like having it in my pocket anyways. Feels safer that way. If you do find one that fits could you please share for other members that like the combo.

They are on Amazon for 7.00 + 3.00 shipping.

Is there a built-in screen protector on any of these cases? Some of the descriptions are unclear, and a built-in would be nice. Having to adhere one to the screen makes my Otterbox Defender unusable, as it would peel the protector off every time.

My mom bought one of these off ebay for her Galaxy S2 and she really liked it. I was considering one for my Skyrocket, but I ended up getting a standard silicone case. I've always had problems with my phone sticking in my pocket. This hybrid case was easier to get in and out of pockets but the rubber parts on the corner did stick a little. After a couple of months, though, I noticed that the plastic part of this hybrid case had cracked in several areas. I'm not sure how it got cracked, because she hasn't dropped the phone or anything. If anyone is interested I can try to post pictures, assuming I can find where she put the damaged case.

I'd definitely be interested in seeing that. I took my Defender off last night (found it was causing some heat issues with ICS) and put a Zagg screen protector on, which more or less rules out the possibility of using the Defender again. I'm torn between one of the other Otterbox cases or a handful of these.

I have this cheapo http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-Kicks...423428?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a1fef9d04
very similar type of design with the built-in kickstand. Personally the rubber hasn't given me any issues.

FYI, you can find virtually all of these cases on Amazon for less (including shipping) than eBay. Just search "i727 hybrid". If you're planning to mix and match, keep an eye on the manufacturers. Mybat and Case-Xpro seem to be the same company (or, at least, identical designs), but Dragoncell, which makes the cases shown in the OP, uses a different size of plastic mesh than Mybat/Case-Xpro do.
I'm going to order one Dragoncell, one Mybat and one Case-Xpro and see how much I like each. I'll post results here. I mean, $25 for 3 cases (incl. shipping) isn't much to complain about.

[Review] Exact Armor Case

Hey guys,
I just wanted to give a short review of a case I'm using, because I absolutely love it. It's the Exact Armor Case.
I bought it a week and a half ago, at the time it was only $3.95, at the time of me writing this it is $7.95 on Amazon. It's VERY similar to the Ionic Guardian Armor Case. There was some concern because I believe that on Amazon this case in the pictures doesn't show a cut out on the back for the speaker, but it does indeed have one.
It feels really good in the hand. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the dots on the back, but they ended up not being bad, and really make it so the phone doesn't slide out of your hand/off a table when you are holding it/sitting it down. I also have an i-Blason TPU case and I liked it but wanted something with a little bit more protection. I love the rubbery cover on the buttons on the Exact case, it makes it incredibly easy to push those buttons, which were more difficult to push on the i-Blason case in my opinion.
It feels really good and sturdy in the hand, and I love the way it feels. It doesn't add any more then the i-Blason case does when you're holding it in my opinion, except for on the corners, but you don't really notice those when holding it. All of the ports (mini USB and headphones) are accessible, however when I tried to plug a headphone jack from my car in it was a little too big and didn't fit in the hole cut in the case, but using a pair of headphones fits just fine.
I'm usually rough on phones, and so I wanted to get a sturdy case until hopefully an Otterbox comes out, which I will then buy and see if I like it more then this case. I HAVE dropped my phone twice over the past 72 hours or so using the case, and there was no damage to the phone. Once was getting out of my car and the phone fell onto gravel, and the second was just when I was pulling it out of my pocket I dropped it. (Yes, I'm clumsy, and I need to try harder to keep it safe.) There is no damage at all to the phone.
The front of the case does slide over the front, so you can sit the phone screen down and it doesn't touch whatever is underneath it. There is a small lip there, but so far it hasn't deterred me in anyway touching the screen/typing/swyping.
Please feel free to ask any questions, I'll be more then happy to answer. And before anyone asks, I just put on a Xtremeguard Screen Protector on literally 5 minutes before I took the pictures, so if the screen looks weird that's why, as it has to dry out and such.
If anyone asks, I can also talk about the i-Blason case a little.
I can't post links to the cases above because I don't have 10 posts yet :/ Just search on Amazon, you'll find them all, and after I post 10 times I'll come back and add the links in.

Nobody knows for sure but like most of the stuff in production you can probably expect it will be released before the end of January.
I think chances are you will get this one and then decided (unless you some how destroy it) that you don't want to shell out for an Otterbox.

I would really like to get this case but the shipping to Canada kills the deal. $13 is more than the case itself. Anyone know if someplace else sells this case? EBay has nothing.

Nobody knows for sure but like most of the stuff in production you can probably expect it will be released before the end of January.

Only there's no Otterbox case in production for the Nexus 4. Alas.

I got this case when it was $3.95 as well, great deal.
My TPU case was causing problems with my Skinomi screen protector but no problems with this case.

I currently have this case on... It sometimes lifts my xo skin screen protector so I have to push the screen protector down. For those who need even more protection there is a case on ebay called the Rugged Hybrid case, for 10-12 buck. The case is a beast but I'm waiting for someone to review on it before I purchase one.

Is the lift because of the slight inward flex around the edges that one gets when gripping the phone? or is it always in contact with the XO?

It's because of the inward flex around the edges when I grip it. It does seem like the case is always in contact with it, but doesn't pull up the protector unless I grip it tight or push on it.

Just received my case earlier today and I have to say it may be my favorite. I own the iBlason in black, Diztronic TPU in black as well as the Cruzerlite Androidified in white. The price vs. protection offered is astounding. I have to say it is very much comparable to my parents Ballistic Shell Gel Series case they both have on their Galaxy S III. The material isn't quite as "nice" as the Ballistic but for a $7 case, comparing it to a $30 from Ballistic or $15 on Amazon, it is certainly a no brainer.

Anyone want to comment on whether the case grips your pocket? That's the only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger on this over the diztronic you case.

Mine is fairly easy to pull out of my pocket. I don't wear super tight pants, but if I did it might be a problem. The rubbery part on the case is a lint magnet when you put it in your pocket but it isn't bad putting in or pulling out.
