It fits, but the speaker hole isn't centered properly.. I've had one (still do) but I'm using the Sedio Active X which I like better..

or you can get it with the holster which I did

Look at the last pic of this post and you'll see what I'm talking about on the otterbox

Besides it covering the speaker, it also covers some of the top of the glass on the phone which the seido doesn't. It's easier to press the volume and power buttons with the seido. And the Seido also provides more grip than the Otterbox. The otterbox can be a little slippery. I think the seido looks way better. Also use XMAS15 if you decide on the seido and you'll get 15% off...

I just purchased an Otterbox Fascinate Impact Series Case case last week and it works great on my Mesmerize.
They have updated the case and now the glass isn't covered on the top of the phone, and the speaker hole is lined up. See photo from the otterbox site below:

I would disagree that it's slippery. It's made of silicone and has bumps in a carbon fiber patteron on the back to prevent it from slipping out of your hand. I have not dropped it once since I've gotten it.
The otterbox case adds a slight weight and bulk to the phone, but I've gotten used to it and I think it's worth it for the protection it provides. I also comes with a screen protector.
I haven't handled an Innocase Active X in person so I can't compare it fairly but I do like my otterbox.
I also had an invisible shield with full coverage but I regretted the extra coverage and would have prefered the standard front and back and ended up removing the shield fully and going with an otterbox case.

Yes, they have fixed the speaker hole issue with the latest revision..
But in the pic you showed the plastic still does cover some of the glass at the top on front (not the actual screen)..
Look at the sedio Active X and you'll see the entire glass is visible which looks better IMO..
And compared to the Seido the Otterbox is very slippery.. The Sedio has finger grips and a lot more silcone, not to mention the plastic hard X shape has a rubbery grip to it as well...
I have the revised Otterbox being shipped to me for free and I will still be using the Seido!!!
edit**
Also the volume and power buttons are easier to press with the Seido.. Not trying to sway anyone's opinion, just making a fair review between the two since I've used them both. I will say Otterbox has outstanding Customer Service and It would probably be more protective in a VERY hard fall, but I think the Seido will hold it's on...

Don't forget about price comparison.
The Seidio case is MSRP: US$29.95 + $5.90 shipping = 38.85
Currently no coupons can be used towards this time..
The Otterbox impact case is: $19.95 + $4.80 = 24.75
Coupon Code tb0111m (Exp 3/31).
You get 10% off at OtterBox.com! (-$2.00)
Free Shipping (U.S. orders only) (-$4.80)
New total: $17.95
I was even considering ordering the seidio case to try it out vs mine, but at $40 including shipping it's too much. I'm happy with my otterbox.

I just got my brother the otterbox commuter case for his mesmerize... It's a very nice case. Found it for around $30 shipped. I can see how someone could find it slippery... it does have a slippery feel to the back of it where there is hard plastic, but I don't think its enough that it would actually slip out of a hand. It definitely seems like it would protect in a fall though.... and it looks great. I've always been more than happy with otterbox... I currently have the otterbox defender case for my hd2, and I will buy an otterbox for whatever my next phone will be.

It definately works... I love mine, but then again I'm biased toward Otterbox cases..

Just in case anybody is looking for the Otterbox Commuter case for your Mesmerize, they sell them at Sam's Club now. They're still obviously only marketed for the Fascinate, but they are cheaper than any other place that I have seen.

I've got two BRAND new otterboxes still in the box they came in and I'm willing to sell them for $20 a peice.. Anyone local want one, let me know...

I just got a defender series case for my messmerize and its great the holster it came with is well built too.ask the holes line up fine and none of the screen is covered.

I have the OtterBox defender. Love it very much, it's a bit bulky but that's exactly what I need - makes the phone last much longer.

sold them last night... they were commuter series
you aren't by chance the guy that had over 80,000 miles on a busa back in 06 are you?

Had a couple of people lookin gor those cases.. oh well. No that was Joe Frede, last I heard before some stupid chick pulled out in front of him he had 120k miles on it, and the only thing he had done to it was having the valves adjusted twice during the bikes life span. I put about 25k miles on my Busa.

You aren't serious, right? An air bag? Just get an Otterbox and you'll be fine. And if you want something to read a situation and deploy PRIOR to impact, you really should look into having this for a vehicle first. And really, what are you doing that you get into so many wrecks that you're worried about your phone needing it's own airbag.
I don't mean to poke fun, but seriously man, I hope you are really tired or high. When I get to work I'll call professor x to see what we can whip up for you.

From my experience even the thinner/smaller cases help a lot. Even if an airbag was feasible, it'd be overkill lol.

get the replacment screen first, see what's included. it should be pretty east. the infuse comes apart pretty straitforward. just six screws a lot of prying. i didnt do a screen repacement so im not sure of everything. i just took it apart for s's&g's.
get a "precision scredriver set" or the little screwdriver for an eye glass repair set.
also you got all you nomenclature wrong. the infuse doesnt have an lcd. it uses amoled technology(samoled+). and the protective glass is just that. glass, garilla glass from corning to be precise. but you could call the amoled screen a tft (thin film transistor) i believe. not positive but i think tft applies to lcd as well as amoled

i think what your going to need here is to heat up the from of the phone to get the screen to separate from the body of the phone. i looks like it is set up like the iPhone, glued to the frame. so if you see glue while prying it just heat it up real good then just separate it.

not sure bit most replacement screens I've seen for.Samsung phones have a lot more than the Tft. I don't think he'll need to separate the glass. but I guess that all depends on the screen he buys.
other than maybe for glass removal no glue is used that I can see. it is a pain to pry apart but it is not easy to break the plastic either. Samsung uses some tough plastics. a lot tougher than what HTC uses.

FARK! so i just f'ed up an infuse, we ordered the outer glass and back casing from china, it came today, and when i went to disassemble the infuse i found out the hard way that the digitizer was glued to the glass, not just around it but entirely, upon pulling it out the bottom (actual lcd) cracked the outer glass was already in glass shards and peices so i couldnt cleanly separate the glass from the digitizer, everything just went to hell, i tried putting it back together as it was functional before with just a cracked screen but now nothing comes up on the screen, sounds and vibration work but we cant answer phone calls wasted $40 to china and now have to get a complete top assembly to repair this phone

Watch those Youtube videos over and over until you have the process down, and even watch and pause the video as you follow actually doing it. Ive done this with the iPhone HTC Aria and a couple other ones.. never had to with my Infuse.
I always have my Otterbox case on! Dropped TWO stories off a big metal forging machine at my work... phone still works great! True story!
How do you like your ballistic case? I just ordered one for my friends LG Nitro because the otterbox isn't available for it yet..
Looks to be around the same price.. but might have a little more protection... and the option of running it without the outside rubber case.... that might be a nice option for when I am not at work....
I love my Otterbox... but sometimes its just to f****** bulky!

You would lose the bet. I fix stuff in my home, I repair my own car, I replaced the outer housing on my Infuse, etc.
I just am smart enough to investigate what a repair entails, what it will cost, what the options are and how to do it before I start a project.
The ebay screens and digitizers are typically more expensive then having samsung do it. And while I think I could replace the screen/digitizer why would I take the chance of screwing it up AND pay more when Samsung will do it cheaper????

Looking For A Case For Your Skyrocket?

I found this case on amazon.
(Since I'm a new user I'm not allowed to post outside links)
But you can find it under the name of "Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case for Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket". Its only $9.90 with free shipping. It has a soft smooth back side which adds a little grip the already slippery back. The only downside for me (might not be a problem for you) is that the volume rocker becomes a more sensitive again that might not be a problem for you.
As soon as I get a chance I will take pictures of the case on the phone as well as off the phone so you guys can see. And I'll update the link when i pass the post limit
Hope this helps!

The gloss black version of that case was one of the first Skyrocket cases ever sold. It's a good case. A few reviews are here on the forum. But post up your pics anways, can't ever have enough pics.

I probably should've checked to see if they already had reviews on it. But yeah hopefully tomorrow I can take the pictures. It looks pretty cool with the white SK.

I used that case til I got my Seidio surface combo. I really liked it. Easy on, easy off, matte finish made it slip in and out of pocket easily. It even fit in my Seidio holster.
The only thing I didnt like about it was the gloss lip around the front, while it looked good, it grabbed pocket lint and made it build up on the screen around the edges.
Good case though. And for less than $10 cant complain much.
Here's a link to the one I bought off eBay.

Yeah that's probably the only other problem I have. But it doesnt really bother me much. A quick wipe with my shirt or something and its gone

I hate the caps though. I'd want to rip them all off.
Does it look flakey or "broken" with the cap removed? Like it's obvious that something used to be there and is now missing?
Or does it look okay?

First two pics are the top headphone cap on and off, last pic is bottom of the phone with the usb cap broken off.

The cut out is because the Japanese version has a antenna for watching TV and it is right on that corner. Look it online and it also has that ugly hardware button in the front instead all touch buttons.

Thanks for the pics.
Looks just fine with the cap ripped off.
I like that the buttons for volume & power are open.
The only thing I don't like about the TPU case is that it has a cover over the volume buttons.
The nice thing about that is the power button is open, so it's easy to know what end is up when you're grabbing the phone while it's in your pocket.

Close but not quite right.
It's because of the Korean version's DMB (digital multimedia broadcasting - i.e. mobile TV) antenna.
By the way, many prefer the physical center button over the capacitive variant offered in the US.

Thanks I was close. Thanks you for clearing this exactly up. I appreciate it.

Does anyone have this case? On amazon it doesn't specify whether it fits the international one x or our one x. However, on case mates website it says for one x/XL. I'm guessing that it fits both then? Can anyone else confirm for me?

Does anyone have this case? On amazon it doesn't specify whether it fits the international one x or our one x. However, on case mates website it says for one x/XL. I'm guessing that it fits both then? Can anyone else confirm for me?

I have it and it's pretty awesome and fits perfect. If you look at other cases you'll see that the speaker opening is a bit too tall and the camera hole too high...Well this case has the speaker opening that's kinda too tall but the camera opening is centered perfectly.
I would post pics but I'm at work right now...will edit when I get home

My only gripe is that the case shows finger oils quite readily. You're either gonna need to rub pretty thoroughly with a microfiber cloth or use a bit of water. The texture is very similar to the plastic on the phone itself, though a bit softer feeling. Definitely feels good in the hand.

i like incipio feather better since it covers a little more on the edges..

I do like the feather, I probably would've gotten it over the barely there if it was available when I had to make the decision

Does the Barely There cover up the camera, like if you set it down will it keep the camera from getting scratches?

No, the camera still juts out a TINY bit. Like 0.5mm

I've had the same question. The images provided in Case-Mate website is not clear. I was not able to decipher whether it will cover up the camera. No company would make cases that will expose the camera that will not provide any protection, right??

Wrong...read my post right above yours...I will provide a snapshot of the camera from the side when I get home and settled. ETA 7:30pm EST

Here's a picture of how much the camera sticks out. Like I said, it's like barely anything, but barely anything is still something.

yep ^^^^ I didn't even leave mine on. I had the white version. just a damn shame of poor design. aesthetics over protection in this case. It doesn't serve its true purpose.

Looking forward to trying this case out. I just want it for keeping the phone clean. A friend just had a zag and although it looked nice it got really dirty. Looks like mud now lol so I need a case and I think this looks good.

What I've been doing is to just keep my phone in my pocket as much as possible and avoid hard surfaces. If I'm eating lunch and watching a video or reading news or something, I'll just plop a soft napkin on the table and rest the phone on that. Kinda solves the camera lens sticking out thing. Just kinda.
As to the lens sticking out, it's to such a minuscule amount that at first I thought that somehow if you placed it on a table the natural curve of the phone might somehow lift the top of the phone up just enough that the lens doesn't touch the table.
Nope.
I visually confirmed this by letting the phone rest on the edge of my desk and looking at it from the side to see exactly where the phone touches the desk. The lens does touch the desk.
Unfortunately, I did this at work and somebody walked past my cubicle as I was crouching on the ground staring at my phone from 2 inches away. I felt kinda dumb. ):

When I look at my phone there's a metal ring around the edge of the camera that is just barely raised above the camera's glass. This means that putting the camera down there's no way for the glass to touch the surface the phone is sitting on unless the surface has a bump right where the metal lip stops and the glass begins. Even if you raised the bottom of the phone so the camera portion was parallel to the surface that slight ridge would keep the camera glass from touching the surface unless the surface bulged upwards to touch the glass that's elevated by the ridge (if even by a hair's width).
Do your phones not have the slightly raised ridge or something?

i-Blason [Scratch Resistant] Halo Series Hybrid Clear Case*

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01547WEPC?psc=1&ref_=ya_aw_od_pi&tag=androidcentral00-20&m1k=vb_ac
Came in today ... Initial impression: really liking it! Low profile, little to no bulk added, fits nice and snug and adds a great grip! Power and volume buttons still easily identifiable and responsive ... Seems like it'll provide decent protection, but hopefully I won't have to test that aspect of the case [emoji12]
Will update as I get more time with it, but seems like it'll be worth the 12/13 bucks!

Is that all TPU? I bought this one.

While the one I have is serviceable, it doesn't help with grip, so I'm looking for some TPU.

It's not as soft and sticky as some other TPU cases I've used. It's a bit more rigid than your typical TPU and not as "sticky" ... slides in/out of my pocket and case easily.

I received my i-Blason in the mail today. I've been using the very case you linked. The i-Blason one is without a doubt easier to hold. It provides so much more grip compared to the plastic snap-on case. The snap-on case does seem to provide a slightly larger protective lip on the front of the case, so the screen won't touch a flat surface when face down.
While I've only had the i-Blason for a few hours, so far it seems like a great deal. Especially for those that want to show off their backside. (Pun intended) The snap-on case is still another great deal and despite it's defects I still like it, I already miss the feeling of the ridges on the power button. I think everyone should keep in mind that both cases seem to be minimalists cases, in which they will protect the phone from simple scratches, bumps, and minor drops.

Cool, thanks for the info. I just ordered the i-Blason a couple of hours ago.

So I have to say I am a little less enthusiastic about this case thank I hoped I would be. I already submitted a return request through Amazon. I find that the edges of the case are not well done, they are squishy and don't tightly hold to the phone. I guess I am spoiled by the Incipio Octane, which the phone "snaps" into and literally fits perfectly, no movement, no squishy.

I skipped every other case and ordered a Incipio Octane Frost last week. I could already tell from the increased price and reviews of each product that there was a good quality difference there. Though my Moto X is not here yet the case came in and it is top notch. I would expect most cases of quality be around $20 and not less.
That i-Blason is so clear it looks like it can get beat up real quick. Even though it is less visible, I prefer frosted.

I'm surprised, the edges on mine feel pretty darn solid and tight.
I did email the company when my case didn't ship out when expected and they got back to me and stated there were quality control issues causing the delay. Perhaps they sent you out a bad one??

I just got my iBlaison clear case: it's OK. The cut-out on the back is off-center. I hope this doesn't stain as badly as my G3's, where the case picked up dark smudges around every corner and edge of the case. And, the stains doesn't come off since I tried cleaning it with soap and water.

Damn. Got an email from amazon saying mine shipped today but not due til the 20-22. WTF? I ordered 2 weeks ago as preorder. Said they would be in stock on the 15th, so it is shipped early, but damn. Two weeks to get it after shipping?
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

I ordered this today as well. I like what I'm hearing in this thread. I'll get mine on Wednesday. This seems pretty good until a slightly better clear case comes along. I dig Spigen cases, so hopefully they'll make one for this phone.

That's what happened to me. I waited two weeks for the case and it shipped from (I think) China because the shipper was DHL International.

Just got mine. It's a decent case, but not perfect. Not sure what to expect for cost. I have rubber back and I feel safer now with case on grip wise. MUCH easier to handle 1 handed. I have big hands and was never concerned about size of phone. I don't have 100% fit around buttons or directly across. Bottom half fits better. My phone has tendency to run warm. Can feel warmth thru case. Current temp 105. I have white front /back, so I'm definitely grateful to have something on this versus bumper. I usually never use a case, but felt prudent to do so with this phone. I think people will be okay with this case. Not perfect, but it doesn't suck either.

I agree with above. It's not air cushioned like some Spigen clear cases are, but it's actually more supple and durable than I thought it might be. I ordered the Case Mate Naked Tough case today, and this should do fine until that comes.
