I had one of these for my Samsung Vibrant, nice and thin, adds a little splash of color without any real additional weight and is only 1-2mm thick. Not really much protection if the phone is dropped but then again it's better than nothing at all.
I just ordered the 4 pack so I could pick and choose colors (I'm fickle like that) based on my mood. $9.99 for 4 of them and free shipping - not bad at all!

Doesn't really cover any of the front - it clips on from the back only.
So does it cover like the barely there or? If it covers identical to the barely there case from case mate, I'd be down to order some.
When is yours gonna arrive? We need some pics!
P.S. Thanks for the link.
{EDIT}
I just found this Ebay ad with the same cases showing the front of the phone in them - make sure to click to make the photo "supersize"

Not sure about the barely there case, never had one. I literally had just ordered it before putting up the post, so, I figure within 10 days... At $2.50 each I am not going to complain much ... There's a photo of the same one I had for my Vibrant in this post, shows the front but there's no phone in it:

These are cool but they don't protect the most important part in this phone which is the bottom. That's the only part that is not part of the outter shell and if it breaks or scratches cannot be fixed for cheap. I still might get one.

Is it just me or does the dark blue, red and purple colored cases seem 'metallic' while the other colors are matte?
Just got mine and I like it. Very minimalist. LOL, I'm not sure it does a lot other than help to distinguish my phone from my wife's But for $2, that's ok
Had to make a small set of cuts to expand the area around the USB port (to work with 3rd party micro-USB).
Hey zim could you post some pics of the modification you needed to do to the usb.

Very minor.. I copied the pic from the ad, and drew in RED (on the green case) the small section where I cut to make the opening larger. thankfully we had some funky cutters here at work (kinda like wire clippers, but with a 45 degree angle at the end) which made the clipping easy.
Thanks for the info!
Will have to see what I can find to do the same mod once FailurePost here decides to deliver my case...

hey guys. i have one of these cases. ive had it on for 2 days and barely taken my phone anywhere and when i have it was like i was cradling a baby around.
The case has already split at the bottom between the hole at the back of the case and the base. They are quite brittle.
They look cool, but are very weak and useless for protection.
why do you treat babies so harshly?

I was watching the installation video to see the coverage, and it appears that the back, top side and bottom are all separate, and w/it being black on black, it's kind of hard to see what it leaves uncovered. I don't want my phone to look ghetto fabulous, like I just patchworked this on one night after watching a fast & furious marathon drunk w/gaps on every edge.
Anyway, if anyone has, let me know. If not, I'll jump in and try it out and post photos and give my 2 cents.

I've had something similar to this, but it was called PhantomSkinz. I had it on my G2, and myTouch 4G. Both felt great at hand.
Glad to hear from someone that has had something similar. Not like I'm going to need much to twist my arm to get it, but it certainly helps to get feedback.

That's actually one of the benefits of having all the pieces separate, the piece that would cover the metal strip is separate. I agree with you, but I plan to keep the metal strip shown, even if I have to use an exacto knife to make it happen.

I agree... And upon taking your advise, I just bought a 12"x48" sheet of it from ebay. I worked w/vinyl for several years, from custom applications made in-house to pre made applications, so I'm comfortable w/the whole process. The saddest part is, w/o your input, I probably never would've thought of it on my own!
I'm excited, now I can make it fit how I want! PLUS, it was less and I have enough, that I can customize friends phones if they like the look of it... For a modest price of course. <hehhehhehhehheh>

Well, I got the Carbon Fiber vinyl sheet in [12"x48"]. Looks good, now it's time to waste about a foot of it while I perfect the stencil.
I saw this case on an auction site in China and asked a friend who is from China to help me get it from there.
Here is the package:

The back:

Fit nicely on my DZ:
Here is one nice thing about this case. The back piece is transparent with white edges around it so the original design isn't covered. With some other cases that cover the whole back, the phone kinda looks an iPhone after putting the case on (especially if you have white or black cases), which is not something I want.
Another good thing about this case is that instead of have all the holding clips around the 4 corners, the clips are in the middle of the top and bottom edges of the 2 shells. They clip on to the little hole on top and bottom of the phone.
This way, the gap between the top half and bottom half of the phone won't be enlarged by the thickness of the clips like those cases with clips at the 4 corners.
But this case is by no means perfect. The polish and finishing could need some better works. But I am not complaining since it is quite hard to find a nice case for this phone.
It doesn't add much thickness to the phone either.
The top part of the shell at the edge right above the keyboard side also have its edge shaved inward so that is will not block the keyboard when it's opened.
See the location of the clips:
A lot of cases out there would make the phone look ridiculous, but this one sure made mine looks better.

(Even tho my desire z got dropped multiple times already lol)
I bought mine from this link:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=9722661818
Looks like nobody in US or Europe are selling them at all.
You will need to find someone you know from China or Hong Kong to help you get this I guess. Not sure if they sell international though if you try to get it yourself.
If you do a search with terms "taobao english agent" on Google, looks like there are now companies that will help people from the English world to order things from taobao . com(it's like the Ebay of China but have way more stuff and way cheaper).

Capdase has stores here in the philippines, it' also one of the most imitated brands here locally so they have a lot of fakes.
I don't think the sell online though unless you go to a 3rd party site. Like cresdo.com (which doesn't really have all of capdase's products)
They also have some really good screen protectors. Anti glare, fingerprint etc...
Much better than the screen protector that I got from otterbox.

It usually goes like this: Some one buy a tons from the source, then mail them out one by one to different buyers after receiving payments (over Paypal) from them.

Anyone already have this case?
I found it on another Chinese website and decided to buy it on eBay (seemed a bit safer to me than entering my CC info on another website I don't even know).
Looks good to me, nice and slim...Ill post more once I get it
They also have it in red, black, etc. here:
http://www.obostore.com/nillkin-ultra-slim-hard-shield-faceplate-for-lg-optimus-2x-p-1293.html
Initial Impressions:
Got the red one today...Ordered the red one from OBOstore and a white one from ebay...
I'll start first with the quality of the case, a LOT higher than I expected....a little thicker than the incase slim on my iPhone Little flexing, Satin feel, feels excellent in the hand. Fitment is perfect, covers from edge to edge on the phone. If you have an invisibleshield on the back of the phone, that HAS to come off or the case doesn't fit correctly.
Top and bottom are completely open so little protection on the top or bottom, but the corners, sides, and back are completely covered (other than the camera of course) The case gives a little lip to the screen on the phone so you can set it face down and not worry about scratching it.
All in all, very pleased with my purchase and can't wait for my white one to come in
and of course...peektures!
I apologize for the quality, all I had was my mom's mytouch 4g

i like the seido but i heard it scratches the phone a bit on the corners
I've had the seidio case for like 3 weeks now, and still no scratches on my phone from it...I'm sorry that other guy or guys had that problem, but I don't.
I have a blue seidio surface case, a blue trident case, a white flexible gel case, and now I'm waiting on my red and white nillkin hard cases, lol.
The funny thing is...the only case I ever use is the seidio...not sure why I have all these other cases.
if you rip the case off I can see how it may scratch but if you take it off slowely its fine.
Has anyone gotten this case yet? I've had something similar to this from a company called Empire or something for my Nexus One and it was horsecrap. Fit was so loose I had to put double-sided tape on the inside to make it stay on.
Case looks VERY VERY nice. Please leave some feedback about how it fits. Very interested in this case. My speck is already falling to pieces. YUCK

I ordered this one. Had something like this on iPhone 3G, was pretty good, and didn't add too much thickness to it
Galeli. Use Google translate or something similar: website is in german.
I bought the 2nd from the top left: Black glattleder. €19,90. Worth every single cent: hand made!

I do like the looks of these! I just wish the little cover flipped up instead of down. I still might have to check it out, though.

I like this case but without the flip. Could you tell me for the phone portion of the case (the part that holds the phone), is it ALL made out of leather as well? or is the inside of the case made if hard plastic that could possibly scratch the phone?
Not sure yet. I'll post some pics when the case will arrive.

It's just a little pouch, though. Not what I'm looking for.

wanna buy something like that,it look nice,and phone is fully protected..
Ok, today I have gotten the case. It feels sturdy, fits on the sides perfectly. Despite of the site being registered in US, it arrived from "Jacky Chan" in Hong Kong (lold at that one) Took ~10 days per airmail.
The cut-outs for camera and flash + back speaker are fitting perfectly aswell, along with volume and microusb cut-out.
Only thing that was a bit weird at first was that the covering didn't fit perfectly "at once", but I guess after a while and stretching it'll fit. The cover holds though, while also giving access to power button.
I am in work atm, but I will post pictures once I get home. Stay tuned.
For ~24 USD it seems fairly usable and good-looking case, in my opinion.
THIS is the bomb! 60$ but worth it ! I have used this company's similar case for my HD2, Desire HD, AND now for the Sensation!

thanks for the pictures. do you think it's hard to cut the cover part? I want to buy the case but I don't like the flapping cover.

I think it is possible, but I am not sure whether it then wouldn't be prone to further ripping. The hard plastic ends on the bottom from where the leather-only hinge starts and there you should be able to perform a cut, while having it still stylish.
Maybe if you would finish the cut part with some sort of superglue mixed with black ink, it would fix the ripping issue.
I haven't seen any videos of this case, so I thought I'd put together a quick review for you guys. It's a pretty neat case, I kind of prefer it to the TPU-Cases model, I just wish the top was completely covered.
Also, the title should read "qubits" not "quibits".
Love the video, looks very professional. On a quick note. I wanted to point out that Yoobao has a somewhat similar TPU case with that missing top part that you mention was missing cover.
Here is a link for it:

Again, thank you for the video.

Thanks for the link! That case looks like a real winner. I might have to purchase it and review it - from the looks of it, it also still has the large Micro-USB cut out.

Well, I purchased it and received it yesterday. I love the darn thing. The screen protector was cut out for the device, because it has the cut out exactly where the light sensor is. (I also installed and had 0 problems with the installation.)

I have this Yoobao but I decided I wanted to keep the cheapie kickstand case. I still haven't opened it to test it. I can do that or if you want I can sell it to anyone here for 10bux shipped, if you are in the USA. I posted this in the marketplace, but I do not think many others venture out of the device forums lol

How does it fit? Is it really tight? I'm looking for a TPU case because the Tmob case I got when I got the phone is simply way too floppy and loose. That Yoobao you posted is exactly what I'm looking for because I want a clear case to show off the phone's design. If the fit is tight and the cutouts all align nicely I'm purchasing it immediately lol.
To stay on topic, the OP's video looks very professional and I've looked at the Qubits case a lot too.

It fits like a glove, no flimsiness and not loose at all! Every single cutout is made EXACTLY where it needs to be. I was amazed by that.
Thanks for the review. Looks like a better case than the rubber one I got from T-Mobile for $20. The case is too loose around the sides. I already scraped the side with my key. I will be buying one of these TPU's.

1 more question: how long did it take for you to get it? I really want to try it out, but I'm leaving for college in 13 days, so the fact that it's shipping from Hong Kong kinda makes me worried that I wouldn't get it in time.
If in the uk amazon sell the grey one through a seller named "podjunkie" bit the order is fufilled by amazon

That was a great review, thanks! I think I'm going to pick up the smoked one, but I would love if the black one had the middle clear like the smoked one does. Right now I have the Incipio NGP but the open volume rocker and clear center make this very appealing
Sorry for the mega-necro, but I am selling all of my leftover HTC Sensation accessories at very low prices. Please help out a student and check out my marketplace posting.

i got similar case ( black , not transparent and slightly different in design) as OP from amazon for $5.99 with free 2 days shipping ( 4 bucks cheaper ^^). This is really good case, fit tight and look awesome. As OP said,only weak point is that this case doesn't cover the top ( i guess they decide to design this way so you can put in/ or take off the case easier. I have similar type of this case for my mytouch 4G, my nexus S and it is a little bit more difficult to take the case off or put it in) This is always my first choice when i buy my phone's case.

This is honestly the best case I've ever used. Fits perfectly, adds a nice feel to the phone (I don't feel like it will snap in my hand anymore).
