Ballistic SG for $19.76 shipped! - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Just giving you guys the heads up, I found the Ballistic SG case on Amazon for $19.76 shipped which is more or less $15 off the retail price. It's even cheaper than it is on ebay. For those that don't know, it's a two piece sorta like the Otterbox Commuter but is a lot more protective and I think it looks a lot slicker. I had the SG for my Epic 4G Touch and my iPhone 4S and I loved it. It really is a great deal so I would jump on it, according to Amazon there were only 4 left and I snagged one of them.

Fairly certain. One of the reviewers says it is, and the model number matches the ones on ebay that specifically state they are. Also, Ballistic doesn't have one for the international version on their website, only the AT&T/LTE one. Good enough for me.

It fits. I posted pics in the cases thread. It fits wonderfully with no ill effects on my Skinomi protector.

Thanks a lot. I've been holding on to my HOX since I got it because I don't have a case yet. Let's hope I don't drop it!!!

Why do you hate the commuter? That was going to be my first choice...

I think it's ugly as sin, and it is a major pain to put on and take off. I am going to be returning it as soon as my Ballistic comes in.

Just got mine in! I like it so far, it's much easier to put on than the Otterbox Commuter and I think it looks cooler. I will post a short review after I've used it for a few days.

Yep just got mine on too and man is it nice and snug I also have full skin guard on phone so I was afraid it wouldn't fit right but sure enough fits perfect and feels great I and it looks awesome with white accent of my white phone I'll post pics tomorrow when I'm around another camera!

Thanks for the review/pics.
I have a question, which pretty much is a deal breaker for me.
The rubber that is around the edges and on the corners; how bad does it grip when sliding in and out of a jean pocket? This case make it look almost impossible to slide it in an out of my front pockets. Thanks.

I personally don't have an issue getting mine in and out of my pocket, but I typically wear relaxed/loose fit jeans or casual pants. It might be a different story if you're the type who wear skinny jeans.

I gotta say that the rubber itself might pick up a little white fuzz from Ur pocket but I do have kinda thick legs so even.loose fit is a ill tight and I don't have any problem in and out of pocket the rubber seems like it is pretty "smooth" feeling lol

Best case possible for a cheap price! $5.85!

http://www.amazon.com/HTC-SENSATION...UR4W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1338474641&sr=8-2
Hey guys, I just bought this case a few days ago... It's amazing. I paid $5.85 for the case and it was TOTALLY worth it. This thing is easy to grip, fits well, has all the cut outs in the perfect locations. I almost bought an otter box for $25 but I am glad I decided not to.. I NEVER use cases on my phones because I am always so careful with them, however, I don't think this one will ever come off.

You can get those off Ebay from China for less than $3.00 shipped. Of course...you'll be waiting on it for some time.
For the money, they're great cases. IF you're looking for bare minimum scratch protection, this is it.
I wouldn't expect it to protect much in a drop, however. There's no padding, just thin rubber/tpu.

Sent from my Sensation 4G using XDA
This case rocks. Slim, protects well, and dirt cheap. Along with the Skinomi screen protector (which due to an annoying installation means that I permanently have a small hair underneath), this phone is now complete. I feel way safer moving forward with it now that I have this case. Only complaint is that it took a day longer than stated to ship.

Incipio Feather Ultra Thin Case [FITTED for AT&T ONE X]

Hey guys, i've finally found a case i'm satisfied with. I've been looking for cases around on ebay, always buying those random 2 dollar-10 dollar tpu crap.. and was never happy because it made my phone feel bulky. After a lot of research, I found the Incipio feather ultra thin case for about 22 dollars. Its a lot more than what i would spend on a case but I guess i can say its worth it. It feels ONE WITH THE PHONE. Its light, feels strong and sturdy... just simply clean and elegant. The feel to the case is like a strong sturdy plastic for the structure, and the surface touch is like a premium rubber type material with a matte feel
here are some pictures just because I love this combination so much, hopefully it'l work out for you guys too..
remember to click thanks!

I have one of these...super annoying how it covers the USB port along the front edge. Only the OEM cable works...and even then just barely. Other cables I have won't stay plugged in. Stopped using it due to this.
I wish this didn't cover the USB port as much. Would be great to use around the office.
Right now, I'm using their Silicrylic and love it.

yeah thats true, but im fine using my oem cable, it fits perfectly
i hate using the squared 2dollar ebay cables, they feel cheap
Looks just like the Casemate barely there case that I have. Only difference is that there's no upper lip on the Casemate.
Hmm I like it, very nice. I like how it doesn't cover the top or bottom, or come over the edge too much(around the rim of the phone). Thanks for the info.
Does it cover the camera enough so you can lay it flat on its back?
I might get one.

The grey looks really cool
So cases like these... If you drop the phone screen first it'll probably shatter. My question is do you think that the tpu cases that have a tinyyyyy amount of lip would protect the screen any more?
I have a case that I'm wary about using because it doesn't have the lip around the screen.
Where'd you buy your case from?
Still don't know what color to get... Prolly end up with grey.

about the case not covering the whole phone it does protect it pretty well. the corners rise slightly up higher than the screen. if it falls, most likely it would fall on a corner, or slanted right? what are the odds of the phone landing flat on the screen, perfect 180degrees? but if it does happen to land on an EDGE of a stairs, or a rock(flat face down again) then yeah that might be a problem
but yeah i recommend this case if you want to keep the sleek thin feel of the one x, cant stand thick tpu cases on big screened phones, its like carrying a brick
I just ordered the grey one from amazon. I figured everyone has a black case so grey might look good with my phone. Especially if it's the same color as the grey HOX. Can't wait for it to arrive.

I have this case and it fits very well with the bumper on. A little snug initally but loosened up after a while.

Ionic Guardian case still 75% off at Amazon

This case is still on sale on Amazon at around $15 incl delivery. Quite a few people have reported delivery issues (delays, cancelations, etc) but from what I've seen the people that have the case are pleased. Just so you know the case cones in two pieces (thanks All__fun). I think if someone wants a cheap but theoretically durable case, this is a good starting point. If you don't mind waiting.
It is nice and well made. It is definitely the bulkiest case I've had as of yet. Also it's difficult to charge using the lg wcp700. It works but has to be put on the charger precisely.[/QUOTE]
All__fun said:
let me just add,
That after having the phone with no case for about a week now,
adding this case truly adds girth to the phone.
Previously the phone would slide easily in and out of my pocket,
you can't tell in the picture, but the case is actually a 2 piece case, a soft inner case, that the phone slides into, and a hard outer cover that gives the phone it's design. (the white, black, pink, or blue distinction.)
This is probably the best case out right now for the phone, but I can't stress enough how thick and bulky the phone is now. If you are willing to sacrifice it's sleek design, this case offers good protection.
I don't have a screen protector on right now, so I cannot add whether or not this peels off or interferes with the protector.
I will also add that with the Ionic case on, when looking at the lock screen, I find it more difficult to swipe left and right between different lock screens. I have a screen lock pattern, and that registers my finger strokes rather than a swipe to a different lock screen.

Agreed. But maybe someone here likes the way it looks. And I think it'll do a good job at protecting the glass.

To be honest I ordered the case but am concerned with the back not having a slot for the speaker

I think the slit at the botton right of the picture might be for speaker.

No slit there lol.
I actually like the look and I think it will do a great job protecting this phone.
I'll keep everyone posted my estimated delivery date is DEC 6-10th

Those ugly circles are killing this choice for me. Ugh.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
can anyone who ordered it (from amazon) post these qustions on the product's page? i can't since i haven't made a purchase via amazon yet.
1. is there a speaker cutout?
2. are there optional dust plugs for it?
3. if it's on stock on dec 17, will it arrive to NY before christmas?
thanks!
a seperate question: did anyone find a drop test with this case? i don't seem to find anything on youtube, i couldn't even find an official site.
fugly
i have to agree with the rest of you that it is one fugly case. ugh the price of protection.
If you hating on the circles just get black?
I ordered a blue one just because I'm board of black. I will let you how it is when it comes.
Perhaps the cutouts allow it to cool a bit and also make it lighter.. I don't think it looks bad.
As long as proximity works and the USB and head phone jacks are open I would buy it..

Possibly the uglies case I may have ever seen. But in terms of protection, it looks promising. For ten bucks I would order one right now, if Amazon would accept PayPal. Anyone know of a way to bypass?

Love Mei Case Review

Hey everyone.
I've had the case for a couple of days now testing it.
I have to day... I love it.
Design:
Stunning. Smooth, solid, heavy and all round perfect. Feels really good in the hands with the rubber and it just feels safe.
Strength:
Stupid. Basically. Chucked in on a very bumpy and stone floor outside a work shop and couple of scratches on the case and that's it. Nothing came off it and sounded like I dropped a brick. Was sanding my mates car and painting it. Left my phone in my pocket and had a few heavy corner hits to it from the car and no damage at all. No paint inside or dust. There was a lot of dust in the shed.
Usability:
If you don't mind the Note 2 size but and thicker then this case will do you fine. No nerves about dropping it into water or anything. Used it in the rain and nothing. (Heavy rain for 10 minutes).
Cons:
In call. People can't hear you very well. The mic is covered by waterproof/resistant sheet which muffles it a lot apparently. If you don't mind talking louder you are fine. My Grandad is 80 and he could hear me.
The WiFi signal is dropped by 2 bars. So I can't use it in my bedroom. But phone signal is not affected.
Here are some pictures for you.

this isnt the same seller skrappi used, but its where i ordered mine, and its a buit cheaper, but look around, bsellers come on and offline alot with these things, but beware of the knockoffs, there's a knockoff called pepk, the best way i can figure to tell the difference is that the pepk case only comes in two colors

The pepk case looks more solid built. The love mei is more rounded.
Color wise they both have the same.
And thanks.
The link for the case is here:

It's UK based.

Holy crap on a cow. That is expensive.
You can get the Love Mei case for ~USD30

But then you have to be careful how cheap you get it. You get what you pay for sometimes.

Yes, but this is a chinese case. As far as I'm aware, there aren't any fakes for this case.
It is suppose to retail for about $30 ish outside China. Charging $60? That's a rort.

Not sure. Pepk is a cheap version of love mei.

Ok. We'll still fall back to the previous argument. "$60? It must be a fake since the love mei website sells for $96" At this point of time, we'll think that whoever charges higher must be legit.
For instance, I'm now selling the OFFICIAL LEGIT GENUINE Love Mei Case on my blog for only $300. Comes with FREE EXPRESS shipping. There will be some idiots who believe it is safer to buy from me because of my higher price.

Even while it is advertised as the Love Mei, the screenshots are from the Pepk knockoff which is known to have a plastc screen protector instead of the gorilla glass one. Look closely and you will see Pepk written on the upper right side.

Indeed this is not a love mei case at all. The case Is solid as a brick but the screen is plastic and things fall off. Plus it takes up to 2 weeks to deliver.

question about the case
I should receive mine in a few weeks as I ordered it on Ebay for about $33 shipped. I do agree that the Pepk is a knock off and doesn't offer gorilla glass. Anyways, what concerns me the most is losing certain features like NFC, Sbeam, 1-2 bars of signal strength.
I bought an aluminum case for this about a month ago. Unfortunately I had to return it because I lost one bar consistently. Now this even with the back cover of the S4 removed. You have to remove it to fit into this case. I took it out and I got the bar back. So I knew it was due to the case.
Now with this case, it's even thicker AND you don't remove the back. That means more rubber, metal to go through. That's what worries me most. Waterproof? I don't plan to swim with it or use it while I"m paddling a canoe. But for those times where I'm using the john and I drop it on the toilet (which I've done 3 times to my phones), I want to be able to grab it (yes, I'm going right in) and rinse it off without ruining the phone.
Some have said they plan to put a strip of copper foil underneath the case to extend the signal quality. Not sure if that will work or how they plan to do it.
