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.

THIS ^^
I kept having accidental power button presses while texting on the slide out keyboard as well.
Plus mine has this weird scent that gives me a massive headache.

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.

Check out this website. They have the blue Trident case for only $14 plus $3 shipping. Make sure you use promo code (vip20) at checkout for 20% off. Mine came to just over $14.

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.

Sensation Otterbox vs. Casemate Tough Case

Hi - was wondering if any one here could shed some feedback on their experience, etc., as to which case to get among these two as I think I've narrowed it down to these two.
I've bought one of those $5.95 Amazon cases which is alright, do I gain anything by buying either one of these.
Thanks

wow 5.95 can you share where to buy it a link please for 5.95

I also own this case and I will say that unless you want a little bit of extra drop protection then you have nothing to gain. The button design and cutouts on this case are perfect. The case is not bulky and gives the phone some traction so it doesn't feel like it's going to slip out of your hands.

If you are looking for the best case with the best look, protection, feel and all that, check out the case mate pop. Its a tight fit so taking the phone in and out take some practice. It gets easier with time though. I have the white one.

waiting for otterbox to come up with a defender case. although might be difficult with the shape of the screen

The Tough is awesome. Good protection, good grip and the fit is nice. Just don't expect it to be pretty. If anything, it reminds me of a tire because of the hard shell's texture lol.
Haven't seen the Otterbox in person, so can't comment on that.

I have the otterbox and the case mate and they are both nice but I prefer the case mate because of the textured back which adds TONS of grip to the back opposed the the slick plastic on the otterbox.

They look the same

CASE MATE is my favorite I have 5 cases but the Case Mate Tough Case never leaves my phone(unless i am swapping battery or memory card ). Also i have had quite a few (high) drops and it is still running perfect.

what i like about the otter over the case mate is that the ports are all coverd in the otterbox

waiting for otterbox to come up with a defender case

Me too but I don't think it will come out

I purchased the body glove when i bought the phone, let me say worst 20 dollars i spent ever. The thing broke from the hinge in my pocket. Either one of these to options is better then the BG

Along with amazon, I find ebay to be even cheaper.

Saw and felt the Otterbox Commuter for me its a good case. It has good all over protection of the phone, However the back side of the otterbox is kinda sleeky than the back cover of the sensation.

I personally have the the Otterbox Commuter case for the HTC Sensation, so I cannot comment on the Casemate. I like the Otterbox for the design to protect the phone between the impact case and gel case together for protection, plus the headphone and USB port covers. The hard plastic impact case is not the best for grip, and the gel part of the case is a major magnet for lint from your pocket.
Hope that helps!
Edit: OK, missed something myself. Wanted a charging dock that supports a case, so I bought one. But it won't work very well if there is a USB port cover, so just something extra to consider!

Does anyone know if they updated the Case-mate tough case design, where originally they had the mic above the camera lens covered? I could have sworn I saw a thread where Case-mate said they were going to update their case and just uncover for that one hole. Just curious if anyone has bought it lately and knows.

I got mine in January I think and it still has that hole covered up. Is that hole supposed to be the noise cancellation mic? I'd have to ask my wife if my call quality has gotten worse since getting this case, but knowing her she wouldn't notice anyway lol.
If anything, it's probably not hard to just drill a tiny hole into the casing.

I have the otterbox commutor, and its sad to say. It is the first Otterbox ive owned that im disappointed in. Due to the top and bottom being rounded. After alot of use in your pocket the rubber on top and bottom loosens and sags. I bought the Otterbox the day it came out and overnighted it. I have yet to find a decent replacement.
In no way would i bash Otterbox on this one product. I have owned other cases for Iphone 3gs, Mytouch 4g and Nook Color. ALL cases were some of the best i have seen. Quality if usually above the rest. I think it is the design due to the large about of exposed rubber on top and bottom.

[Q] Would You Recommend a Good Case?

My wife tends to drop her phone, throw it in her bag with the keys....
Any recommendation for a super-case? One that would survive a fall?

The Trident Aegis case is always a safe bet. Its pretty thick and is made out of a nice rubber material that feels good to hold.
I have been using the Speck Candyshell case ever since i got my g2x a long while back, and i love it. The only problems it has is that it can gett pretty scratched up on the back and the rubber flakes off after a lot of use. Other than that it is a really good case and has survived many a fall in its day.
Here are the links to both of them on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Trident-Case-...ILYU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1329699911&sr=8-2
http://www.amazon.com/Speck-CandySh..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1329699968&sr=1-1
(They both come in other colors too)

I'd check the accessories section.
I don't know much about the case, but check here for a start. Looks like it should be more than sufficient.
Edit: yea, it took me a bit to get to posting, but like the previous person said, Trident Ageis, or the kraken series should be good.

Thank you both !!!!

I don't know if it's necessarily a super case, I use a rubber one from ringke. I like it, but maybe it's not thick enough to cover massively damaging falls/bumps.

I have the Trident AEGIS for my G2X and my Galaxy S2X. They are great and I highly recomend them.

I like my Seidio case, although it makes others cry due to scratches on the corners it may cause, I could care less...

Depends on what kind of protection you want. I use a simple TPU case, doesn't add bulk and adds protection, and was dirt cheap. I rarely drop my phone, if I do it's no higher than 4-5 ft. But if you want a case that withstands 12+ feet then I guess the Trident, but that case is expensive and adds soooo much bulk. So it's up to you.

I was debating between this one and the ballistic and then ended up getting the ballistic. The seido is nice like the kickstand but it doesnt have all the openings on the back that the phone needs as the ballistic does and the seido is mostly all rubber it would catch lint and be hard to pull out of your pocket in a hurry. The ballistic also seems much more rugged I love the case lol.

Looks like you already made your decision, but here's my mini review on the Seidio Active case with kickstand and holster combo.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282689

I have the case/holster combo but NOT the kickstand version.
I absolutely love it. Sturdy, soft feel in your hand but solid protection from moderate drops and bumps.
Yes, it's a little pricey, but so is the phone if you break it and have to get a new one/repair it.
It's great quality period.

yeah the ballistic case looks awesome and protects really you'll love it.

Thanks, means alot!

I'm using the sapphire blue regular Seidio and I love it. (http://www.seidioonline.com/htc-sensation-4g-active-case-sapphire-blue-p/csk3htsen-bl.htm)
It comes with silicone and plastic cover. Pretty easy to slip in and out of your pocket too.

I've had the Seidio HTC Sensation ACTIVE Combo with Kickstand (that's the holster and case) on my Sensation 4G since October of last year. Bottom line, once I got it, I didn't need to look any further.
I tried many kickstand covers and cases and general stands for my Sensation before, and none was as good overall. You can see this old thread where we discussed all of them.
The Seidio is pricey, but I now know it's well worth the expense. I'll always buy from Seidio going forward. You can get this cheaper off Ebay than direct from Seidio. See here, both the holster and case in a combo are selling for just under $40. But direct from Seidio, just the case alone cost $35. The combo cost $50 if you buy direct from Seidio.
I've learned 2 things:
Buy Seidio cases and holsters.
Don't buy Seidio cases and holsters "directly" from Seidio .

I originally bought the sapphire blue case only...and it is absolutely excellent.
I got it shipped off Ebay or Amazon (don't remember) for 26 or 28 bucks.
Girlfriend (same phone) liked it so much I got her a purple one, combo for 32 shipped (no kickstand, just a case and holster) and I quickly bogarted her holster...LOL.
The ONLY gripe I have is when you go to put it in the holster sometimes the upper clip wants to push the top of the rubber case back. You just learn to "open the jaw" of the holster clip to slide your phone in.
We have 19 of these devices at work. I bought a ton of Chinese ebay cheapies...and some people bought their own.
After they see my case and touch/feel how sturdy yet soft it is, they're sold.
It is nice, period. The hard plastic exoskeleton really makes the case, covers the corners...etc.

I'm using the Seidio Active without the kick stand, "they didn't have them when I got it in Sept last year".
It's an excellent case and isn't bulky at all, but like another poster stated the clip on the holster does tend to go under the rubber lip of the case. I've also just gotten use to lifting up the clip before inserting the phone.
Otherwise after 8 months of use the case still looks great, it's a great product.

I bought several cases and after being really dissappointed in build quality, non-existant hole-cutouts, etc. I coughed up for the Seidio.
It is absolutely awesome. As others have said, the look and feel are marvelous - and after dropping my phone a couple of times I can also vouch that it does it's 'day job' perfectly too.

an awesome case
I have this case without the kickstand for 7 months. While I realize having a kick stand is one of the main selling points for you, I can attest to the quality of this case. The phone is wrapped in a molded silicone (that doesn't get stuck in pockets) and has flexible plastic wrapping around that on the corners and side to take the brunt of the blows from drops. It is an awesome hybrid case that is not bulky at all. I honestly don't understand how people can pay good money for those humongous otter boxes that make your phone 3x the size. Boggles my mind. Me and my friends have gone through a LOT of cases. This is my first Seidio. I'm hooked.

I also have this case and it is awesome. It provides really good protection and the kickstand is the cherry on the cake. I am enjoying this case really much.
I bought it after being disappointed with about 3 other cases that I bought. This is my ultimate case.

Totally respect your choice. But wanted to mention I have the one with the kickstand and I don't find it to be excessively bulky and has held up well for months. All Seidio stuff is well built.

That's due to HTC having landscape turn that way in GB.

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.
