So, I bought both:
acase: brought from amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005HMUSOO/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details: $25.95 (free shipping, no tax)
incipio: bought directly, http://www.myincipio.com/HP-TouchPad-Cases-Accessories/Incipio-HP-TouchPad-KICKSTAND-Nylon-Case.asp $8.99 (free shipping, no tax) (now it's $14.99)
Hands down, acase wins.
It's real leather. It's much better padded. It's better fitting. It's better as a stand case (whereby you can horizontally stand the touchpad to watch, say, netflix on the Android-rooted device). incipio keeps sliding down, meaning you're constantly propping it back up. Never once had to reprop up the touchpad in the acase. Every 10 seconds, I found myself repositioning the touchpad in the incipio. REALLY annoying.
cutouts in the incipio did NOT line up. The charging slot at the bottom of the incipio was just off left. The acase, absolutely perfect. Same with the rest of the cutouts.
Can't comment on the touchstone wireless charging, don't have one. However, considering the padding difference between the acase (awesome), and the incipio, afraid to put it down on the table, I'll choose the acase.
Final analysis:
incipio=crap
acase=great
I have the same case (except it's poetic, not acase) that I bought for $18.95 off amazon and I really like it. I just wish it can go in portrait mode. My only issue is that it is a little less stable while on my lap but I like how there are hinges instead of having something that surrounds the bezel. That was the main reason I bought the case.
ALL Incipio products I've ever seen have been complete garbage!
yea acase by far i have it , its a bit more than most cases but totally worth it , only issue with it is when you have it standing on one of the grooves the speakers are blocked and sound becomes muffled a bit, not a make or break by any means but some ppl will find it annoying

I will be comparing the seidio innocase to 2 cheap cases i got from ebay.
There are enough seidio innocase reviews out there so I am not going to waste my time with that. What I want people to get out of this is that some cases they sell on ebay are actually good in build quality and even can go head to head with some of the more expensive cases out there.
Here is the picture of all three cases
To eliminate confusion I will name the two other cases. The case with a bar the runs across the phone over the samsung logo will be call "Bar" case and the one with the triangle cutout for the camera will be call (you guess it) "triangle" case.
My first impression of all 3 cases is that they cover the phone very well from all angles

Seidio
As you can tell the lever of detail is better on the seidio innocase but considering price ($20-$30 for seidio vs $5-$7 for the ebay ones) and the fact that all of them protect the phone well I wouldn't mind sacrificing the detail for the price.
Probably the most important question is whether the case affects the sliding mechanism or not. I can say that the Seidio and the Triangle cases do not in any way affect the sliding mech of the phone, however I can not say the same for the bar case.
Lets talk about each case individually
First the Bar case
Overall feels very solid on the hand yet very soft and smooth (rubberize), I would even say that if feels stronger than saidio but I think that is due to the fact that its a little thicker than the saidio case, whether that is a good thing its up to you to decide. I like the cutouts at the top of the phone, somehow it makes the phone look better, I can not say the same for the bar at the bottom, as you can see it gets in the way of your thumb when truing to press the captive buttons. On the back of the phone it has the cutout for the speaker the camera and the flash, the important feature about the back is that it protects the camera by leaving a gap between the lens and the top of the back cover so that when you set down your phone on any surface it wont actually make contact with the lens. The seidio case does a better job at this as you can see in the following pictures. Sorry for the blurry pic but I had to use some dumb phone I had laying around.
In every other feutere I would say the saidio and the bar cases are the same.
The Triangle Case
First I would like to point out that I bought the glossy case and later found out that they also had the rubberize version of it, I would chose the rubberize version and so should you because the glossy one feels like it would slip off your hand easily.
Overall the case feel strong, I would say it feel just as strong as the seidio but not as strong as the bar case. The case also seems to be thinner than the seidio (on the back piece) case but not by much. I like the fact that the top part of the case does not cover anything but the small bezel of the front of the phone just like the seidio
Triangle
Seidio
On the bottom piece you have a cut out for the speaker and one big triangle cutout for the flash and camera, Again it covers all sides very well just as the other do, the only downfall of this case is that it does not protect the camera as you can see on this picture
My recommendations would be if your on a budget or have multiple epics in you family and want a quality case at a good price buy the triangle case, if you have the money to spare and want a little more detail buy the seidio, but what ever you do stay away from the bar case unless you don't mind the intrusive bar and the faulty sliding.
I was on Amazon picking up a couple of other accessories for the Epic the other day and decided to snag a cheapo case just to try it as well. I actually ordered the one you referred to as the 'Bar' case. But in reality I was actually shipped the 'Triangle' case (and I'm glad that's what I ended up with as I didn't even notice the bar across the front when I ordered it.) I used the link below:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003I8H0B8/ref=oss_product
Considering I only paid $3 for it (including shipping) I'm surprised at how nice it is, at least initially. It has the soft touch rubber feel which I love and didn't add a lot of bulk which I was worried about coming from the TP2. Another benefit is that it helps make it a lot less likely I'll accidentally bump the volume/camera buttons (like I'd already done several times.)
My favorite aspect of it though is that it gives the phone a good bit more rigidity. While the Epic never felt cheap or flimsy, I was a little unaccustomed to having a phone feel that 'loose' after coming from the rock solid tank that was the TP2. Having the case on eliminates virtually all the slight wiggles/flex I was experiencing previously and also make the slider mechanism flow more smoothly and not 'pop' quite as harshly.
The only drawback I'm seeing thus far though is that it won't work with the Samsung desktop dock. I'd gotten spoiled to coming home and having a dock to rest my phone in. But given Samsung's odd decision to put the charging port on the top it looks like I may have to either just go back to a regular charging cable or wait it out for some 3rd party dock options anyway.

XDA's not allowing me to post a link but search ebay for item number 160493347179. I'm pretty sure it's that. Check that seller's store for multiple colors and also matte (look for "rubber" in the title) finishes. Just ordered a black rubber one myself.
I think I have the bar case. I got it as part of a 6 item package from Ebay for $7.99. It seems pretty good, except I would rather have a case that does not cover the front surface at all (like the Seidio cases). The cut-outs are right except that they missed the LED light on the front. No issues with the slider either. I think I'll be pretty happy with it until I find a nice case, maybe the Seidio Active X.
As for the other stuff I got from ebay, the USB computer cable seems fine, but the wall charger makes my touchscreen go crazy. I haven't tried the car charger, but I don't have high expectations for it. The screen protectors I'm not using since the Epic has Gorilla Glass - hope it's as scratch resistant as I think.
Horizontal leather carrying case for Skinned G2x
My 2 cents... this is definitely a cheap case at $2.40 - $4. (it costs more for shipping via USPS LOL )it seems well built and should hold any G2x that has a TPU or Silicone skin on it. Heck for this price it was worth the gamble... size wise and build quality.
It has elastic on the sides so it should fit a larger skin like the Speck candy shell or whatever they will finally make from Seidio With the TPU skin i bought (see below) it fits just right and needed no “break in” period.
A major plus for those who will ask.... “Does it activate the Car mode when you take it out?” the answer is NO but only if you put it in face first...face out will activate it....every time. I tested it without the skin i got just to make sure.... and if you have it face first...no car mode activation. yeah i know one of the most annoying conveniences..that ends up being very inconvenient. LOL

================
White TPU skin-
My 2 cents...
It fits ok and is not too tight. easily slips on and off if you need a battery pull. Yeah i know it makes it look more Iphoneish...but i like the look of it and the white contrast very well with the black front. i live in South Florida and was looking for a white tpu skin to help reflect the Suns rays. i originally bought the Black “flex skin” from Tmobile, just to get something on it. lst Sat. at about 2pm (Sun at or almost the highest in the sky..so yes it was a hot time of the day) i was using my Gmaps with Nav and within 10 minutes (i am not exaggerating & i was running the A/C cold) i got a pop up saying something like “ battery to hot, shut down phone” (similar window you get when it says you have a 100% charge and too unplug phone) i did not hit ok, since i did not know where i was going.... so i just backed out of it and it seemed ok. I have used my N1 with Gmaps Nav about 75 times including long summer road trips about 4hrs at a time and it did get hot...but i have never seen that msg. before. Perhaps the N1 housing acted like a heat sink to deflect heat away from the device...where as most of the G2x is plastic.
Anyway, i am hoping the white case will help deflect some of the heat instead of absorb it, lke a black case would. I have only had it a few days, so we will see. Either way, it looks great. the “tread like”pattern of boxes makes it easy to grip. That one opening by the power button had me a little worried, but the the edges have a reinforced area so it would be very hard to drop it directly on that spot. All the opening s are fine. the Volume buttons, and power button are not covered like with most TPU skins. I fnd it much easier to use the volume and power button than the Tmo flex skin i had been using. No issues using micro usb or plugging in headset like i have heard compaints about the Speck Candyshell. However it does not have “super” drop protection other than that it fits well in the hand so it should not slip out too easily.

thanks for the suggestions. I have a silicone case on my g2x and I am looking for a leather case that I could put my phone in without being too snugged (I would even prefer it to be very loose, so it doesn't rub hardly against the silicone case). For the leather case you mentioned, does the phone with a TPU case fit loosely within? also is the audo jack accessible with the cover closed?
on a second note, Pdair makes good leather cases, but their cases fit very snugged. What I want to do is order a Pdair leather case made for phone bigger than the g2x, so the g2x can fit loosely into the case. any suggestions for a BIG smartphones? all i can think of is the HD2
The case fits just right. i do not have to force it in. But i think a silicone case would be a little bigger. But with the elastic there should be no issue. Like i said... I paid $2.41 plus $4.43 Shipping etc.. total $6.84. So worst case was that i am out what it would have cost me to eat a fast food lunch lol
You can access the audio jack, with a slight pull of the elastic. More like a nudge to the side. (with it facing inward.)
As far as a bigger case. i got this for my dads Droid X with a Seidio Innocase Active Hybrid Case on it. Although when he first got it it was very tight sliding it in..it is better now that it is broken in a little. But this is a very large case. i put my phone in it when i had the Flex skin from Tmo and it had about a half inch of room sideways. It actually moved in the case. I put the measurements in here as well so you can get a better idea of how big it actually is. This is something i would recommend for the HTC Sensation with a skin on it. Or maybe a very large/bulky skin case on a G2x. the case itself ws less than $10.

Hey guys,
Just bought the Incipio Feather case and wanted to share my thoughts in case some people were thinking about buying.
The case is definitely very light weight and pretty thin (Incipio states that it is less than 1 mm thin). It's an "ultra light, ultra strong polymer" hard case that is smooth to the touch while having a slightly rubbery feel to it. The case itself has very clean edges with no trace of any manufacturing defects. There are cutouts for the power and volume buttons, hdmi port (it's covered in the pictures on their site, but there is indeed a cutout for this), usb port, camera, microphone, headphone jack, and speakerphone. With the exception of the battery, everything is easily accessible through these cutouts.
As for protection, this is where I've been disappointed. First off, the side of the case does not rise above the side of the phone, so when you put the phone face down, the screen will be touching the surface (they provide a screen protector, but I don't think that's enough). Secondly, the case does not completely wrap around the phone, so both the top and, more importantly, the bottom of the phone are exposed. The bottom is important because on a straight drop, the pointed part of the phone will take all of the impact because it protrudes beyond the corner parts of the case. The top isn't as bad because it's flatter, so the corner portions of the case will ideally take the impact. Granted, you aren't purchasing a "feather" or "barely there" case for its protective qualities, but I think that had Incipio manufactured the case to fully wrap around the phone, both the protection and aesthetics of the case would have been enhanced.
In regards to the aesthetics, I purchased the case to avoid the bulkiness of other cases so that I could enjoy the look of the phone. However, the cutouts and the fact that the case doesn't fully wrap around the phone cause the Feather case to "break" the smooth lines of the phone. I would definitely prefer the look of a case that fully wraps around the phone.
Overall, I would not purchase this case again. At $25, even with the screen protector and microfiber cloth, I think that a case like the Androidified case that I previously reviewed provides better value with more protection. With the TPU case, my phone experienced no damage after I accidentally dropped the phone while getting out of a car. I can't say that the Feather case would provide the same sort of protection.
Thanks for the review, this was my favorite case when I had my Atrix. I noticed it on the site the day it went up but did not buy it because an employee confirmed over live chat that there was no hdmi cutout. Now that I know it is there I am placing an order now. I just bought the otterbox and I like it but its just too much for me.
This is almost the same exact case as this:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&accessoryId=47557
But yours is probably a tiny bit thinner. And this one has a pull out stand which is awesome. They tried to sell this hardcore when i bought the phone, and I got it then.

The Incipio also doesn't have those rubber ridges. I had one of these cases on my Thunderbolt and I hated it because I keep my phone in my pocket. Went with a Case-Mate Barely There case which seems to be similar to the Incipio.
It reminds me of an ultra light 1 piece Seidio innocase. It has a similar feel but its lighter and thinner.
After using this case for a few days I have to agree. This case is not worth it at all. The feather used to be my choice but incipio did not do well with this one.
I'm really hoping case-mate jumps on it and makes a barely there case for the Charge.

Yeah same here. I went back to my Otterbox case but I just ordered the Trident Aegis today. I would rather have a thin light case but this feather is just plain terrible.
Why you going with Trident Aegis..instead of just using the Otterbox?
Just curious on your thoughts on the Otterbox..did you get the Trident? How is it?
The Otterbox is a good case but I am not too sold on having the buttons on the bottom covered. The Trident case shipped today and I will post pics and a review of the Aegis when it comes.
Hey all, thought I'd post a few quick reviews of some sleeves I ordered from Amazon. I've always preferred to keep my devices naked in hand, but protected in my pocket.
First up is the Rustic Leather iPhone 6 Plus Sleeve Handmade by Hide & Drink :: Guatemalan Cacao - $9.99 at time of review
Pros:
Cheap
Excellent Quality
Great Protection
Very Attractive
Can Charge Phone While In Case
Cons:
Adds A Slight Amount Of Width
I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of this case when I opened the package. For $10, this sleeve is an absolute no brainer. Honestly, I'd consider it a bargain at two to three times the price. I'm pretty sure I paid $50 for a similar iPod Touch case from Saddleback Leather a few years ago. This product is very comparable, but uses a thinner piece of leather. The Saddleback case was very rigid, which was good and bad. Good in that it was very protective, bad in that it was very bulky in the pocket. I'd actually say this case is a better product because of the thinner leather. It's certainly not skimpy by any means, and I think it's a better compromise of protection vs bulk.
As you can see from the product name, it was designed for the iPhone 6 Plus, but as you can also see from the pics, it's a perfect fit for the Nexus 6p. Very tight to slide the phone in, but fairly easy to remove because of the cutout at the bottom.
Highly Recommended
================
Next up is the xhorizon TM Dark Elastic Neoprene Absorbing Pouch Case Cover ZY for 5.5 inch iPhone 6 Plus - $6.49 at time of review
Pros:
Super Cheap
Decent Protection
Keeps Screen Clean
Slim In The Pocket
Cons:
Less Protective
There's not a whole lot to say about this simple Neoprene case, other than that it does its job well. The Nexus 6p fits perfectly inside and remains fairly snug, requiring a bit of a tug to remove. Nothing significant really, but you don't have to worry about your phone just falling out of this case. As you can see in the pics, the back of the case is slightly taller than the front, which offers a bit of added protection for the top of the phone.
Another nice feature of this case is that the Neoprene does a great job of cleaning the screen as you slide the phone in and out of the case. This became especially apparently when I switched from this case to the leather case above. All of a sudden my screen seems peppered with little dots of lint that I hadn't noticed before.
Protection from this case will be mostly limited to scratches and scuffs from the detritus in your pocket. It may help pad the device in the event of a short fall, but I certainly wouldn't depend on it. For my purposes, though, I find it to be a great case.
Recommended
================
Third is the Synthetic Leather iPhone 6 Plus and 6S Plus Sleeve - Slightly Padded Microfiber Lined Executive Professional Synthetic Leather Case by Dockem (Dark Brown) - $9.99 at time of review
Pros:
Slim
Cons:
Unattractive
Creased
This was the first sleeve I ordered for my Nexus 6p and based on the 4.7 out of 5 star average Amazon review (out of 29 reviews!), I had fairly high expectations. This was probably one of the most disappointing items I've received in more than a decade of shopping at Amazon. As you can see in the last pic, it's a very flimsy, thin sleeve. The one I received has a very ugly crease through the middle of it, which was not caused by shipping as it was in a box laying flat with one other item and several inflatable pockets of cushioning.
The Nexus 6p does fit in the case, but it's a pretty tight fit. It's a little more difficult to extract the phone than I expected, but it is manageable with the slot cut out of the top. Not sure what else to say really, I hate this one.
Definitely Not Recommended
================
Last is the SOSAM 2Xpack Microfiber Sleeve Pouch Cover CasePouch For iphone 5 5S /iphone 6 6plus , Samsung HTC ONE / Blackberry Z10 Mini Wallet Purse Hand Bag Cloth Coin Cell Phone Bag Mobile Pouch (Black) - $8.00 at time of review
Pros:
Dirt Cheap
External Pocket
You Get Two?
Cons:
Major Lint Collector
Weird Clasp
You Get Two
At least with this case, I wasn't expecting much. With an effective cost of $4 each, how good can they be? Well, let's just put it this way, I want my $8 back. I have two dogs, and as soon as I opened this package, dog hair was immediately sucked from throughout my house to the felt of this pouch. You'd have thought these things were made by Dyson! On the positive side, the Nexus 6p fits fairly well into this case with a bit of extra room on the sides. The top is another matter though, the device protrudes a few millimeters from the top edge of the pouch. The unwieldy closure is a pain to use and despite the manufacturer's description of a drawstring closure, neither of mine function in that manner. You have to feed the longer string (with the bead) through the shorter string which catches on the bead to keep the pouch closed. Not very innovative and not really that functional.
About the only positive thing I have to say about this case is that it sports an external slot/pocket where you could store a pair of earbuds or a few bucks. Don't waste your money.
Absolutely NOT Recommended
================
I'm still waiting for my fitBAG Beat White custom tailored sleeve for Huawei Nexus 6P. Fine nappa leather pouch with integrated microfibre lining for display cleaning to arrive from Germany. I'll update this post when I receive it.
Do you think the phone would fit in any of these if it has a slim case on it?
Only the Sosam, which I really wouldn't recommend.

That's too bad. I would love to find one that can handle a slim case. I need it to put my phone in when I stick it in my backpack prior to going through airport security.
Thanks for these reviews - VERY helpful!
Hello Everyone,
New Note 4 user here, (yeah sounds strange upgrading from the note 3 finally, but samsungs gone full potato) and like any other purchase, the hunt for cases is on. I have scoured the internet/ebay/threads for possible solutions to my dilemma and haven't found anything, so I figure its a good time to ask. With my N3 I had the Seidio Dilex Extended battery case with the belt clip holster. This was an amazing combo and accounted for 99% of my needs, minus the stupid negative incline when the phone was flat on its back, due to the kickstand bulge.
Anyways, I am having a hell of a hard time finding extended battery cases that have a kickstand, or have the plastic belt clip holsters for that matter. Essentially it looks like its the Zerolemon and thats it for holster combos, or if I want an integrated kickstand, its the mugen, for outrageous pricing.
I had originally hoped that I'd be able to reuse the same case and such from my n3 with some modifications, since these two phones are very close in size. Well that got quickly abandoned, but there was still the possibility of using the seidio case and cover/holster since they appeared to be the same dimensions. Wrong again.
The sides of the case have much steeper angle coming out from the phone on the bottom and top, but could possibly be adjusted depending on how or if I can rework the holster.
and the top
I have found a temporary starting point to try and reclaim some of the utility I had with my N3 with a few random pieces from amazon.
Anker has been out of stock for a while, unless you want to pay scalper prices on ebay, so I figured I'd give Kranich a whirl for the $25 they asked for 6400mah battery and the plastic textured back panel.
Next I picked up a generic tpu honeycomb case (hopefully this is better than the plastic crap I had on my SIII) for $10 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S1581X4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and lastly found a neat little gadget for another $10, a magnetic kickstand with adhesive. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HP15P60/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My plan should it go well, is to try and either cut a loop in the tpu case and secure the kickstand to the plastic backing itself, or to the tpu on the outside if thats not possible. Either way, ill make sure to correct the confusing mistake seidio made by putting the kickstand on the bottom of the phone and having it lay with the bottom of the phone slightly elevated instead of flat.
This should get me back to at least the core level of performance that the seidio case I had before offered, with a little less protection I think.
The last problem however, is the belt holster (or whatever you want to call it). Again, not many options, so I am looking at modifying my existing seidio holster to fit my N4 or possibly getting an otterbox holster and trying to work with that. You know, interestingly enough, I figured Alibaba would be swarming with weird stuff like that, and I really didn't see anything different
If anyone has any bright ideas, I'd love to hear it. Or for that matter any other cool suggestions for gear.
==============================Update #1==========================================
TPU case came in, god this stuff still sucks, and spigen kcikstand as well. After slipping my note 4 into something more sensual, I decided it was time to try out the holster, which I prayed to the case gods would still fit, and i-it d-d-does! Success! It does in deed definitely fit securely in the mount, albeit a it rides a little higher in the clip due to being ever so slightly longer that the note 3 with the seidio case (works for me still).
Far Away shot.
Damnit, point and shoots are picky when shoplights are involved.
Now that the first test was an overwhelming success, I decided it was time to make some cuts and drop the kickstand in, maybe risk some fingers or violate some safety rules. I decided to cut my way through the TPU case (while half listening to a linus tech tips webisode) and attach the kickstand directly to the phone case for more stability and a slightly smoother surface and a little more professional look. Results below:
First was to figure out where to put the case, I noticed that the first set of honeycombs was almost a perfect border for the ends of the kickstand and those served as an excellent guide for my first cuts.
To achieve a straight cut, i used a square razor blade and tapped it down through the tpu into an old notepad. this have a nice clean straight edge, id soon have to murder since it was nowhere near wide enough for accommodate the whole kickstand. A halfway picture would have been nice, but I was eager to finish.
If you do decide to copy this, make sure you cut the material, almost too tight for the kickstand, so it fits snugly, instead of stretching and leaving a gap like mine did. I would have liked to have rounded my edges a little better, but oh well, its not like I bought the phone to look at the back.
In any case(oh god not the puns), I think it worked out pretty well, but I think I'm gonna try and find a few more TPU cases, maybe that are a little spongier since this hardly gives any protection for drops. An added benefit is the lip of the kickstand in this spot serves as a nice rest for your fingers while using the phone.
I own and use the Thor Champagne Gold version of this one for more than 18 months now: https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Note-Verus-Charcoal-Black/dp/B00MHBSHYG
and am very happy with it. Have dropped the Note4 while bicycling, and from other stupid high positions on stone, it has saved my Note4 many a time. These verus cases rock!
So try that brand, I bet you they have what you need.
Switched from Hyperion 8000mah with honeycomb tpu, now using Verus Iron Shield with Spigen kickstand add on and purchased 3 extra batteries with external charger for $23 US from Amazon. I have leather holster, but front pocket works just fine.

That looks and sounds amazing, and reminds me of some of the drops my note 3 has taken and survived. This is what I really, really wanted to reproduce with my note 4, because, well it makes sense. Only problem is, I really want an extended battery since charging is much slower than my n3, and I don't want to rely on batteries.

Switched from Hyperion 8000mah with honeycomb tpu, now using Verus Iron Shield with Spigen kickstand add on and purchased 3 extra batteries with external charger for $23 US from Amazon. I have leather holster, but front pocket works just fine.

It looks goregeous, but I'm a little concerned about dampening shock, TPU doesn't seem to be the best at it..
