just letting you guys know seidio is now shipping their innocase (black only though)

That's awesome, thanks for letting us know, been waiting to see that. Now after seeing it, I'm sure of what I assumed, that the OEM/Verizon kickstand case is a much better case. It has a kickstand you can use in portrait and landscape, it provides good grip on the back of the phone, it fits very tightly and is durable plastic, and it barely goes over the front of the phone at all leaving the phone quite thin.
Innocases are what I used on my last 3 phones, and the soft touch/rubberized feel is nice (the kickstand case is rubberized but not as much), but, they are relatively brittle, they bulk up the phone a good deal by covering all sides and the front, and they don't have kickstands. I can't imagine not having a kickstand now after having one. But perhaps most important, is the cost? The kickstand cases are brand new on ebay for $12 shipped. innocases are going to run you $30 + shipping.
edit: Seidio's holsters are awesome though, best I've ever used. but I know a lot of people don't use a holster, and you can't with the kickstand case on anyways. I suggested a pouch to go with the kickstand case in my thread about it in this forum.
nice! thanks for the update! i've been waiting for a solid case that didn't cover up much of the front bezel. now only if sgp's website was working and i could get the ultra crystal screen protector...
does anyone have this? how is it? bulky or no?
I bought this case. It's really nice. However it makes my phone look exactly like an Iphone. You've probably seen this case on plenty of Iphones - it is essentially identical. The case its relatively thin, but certainly adds to the phone's size. It's probably about as thin as you're going to get for a case though (aside from using an invisible sheild type skin ). Quality is great. I love the case, the added size is fine because the case is still pretty sleek looking - And well worth the $30 investment to protect such an expensive phone. Lets not forget, samsung is notorious for bad build quality.

cool, i ordered it and will give a review here after i try it out for a bit. i hope it fels good in the hand
They are about the best cases out. Not too much bulk and the rubberized finish is a nice touch. Best Buy had them in black and white. They are labeled as the Seidio platinum series on retail shelves.

ok so i just got this case.. its pretty sweet! only one thing i dont like and i can't beleive no one else mentioned this, the power and volume rockers are kinda blocked off in a way that makes it a lil tough for your thumb to get too
I just got this case today in black..weird that Best Buy lists the white case at 29.99 but the black case at 34.99..weird, not exactly sure why the black costs more. Anyways, I will have some pretty detailed pictures tonight!
No pics, my camera is bummy..but I love the case. Fits perfectly and I don't mind it making the buttons more difficult to press. I have sausage fingers anyway so it feels better to me

Got my seido Active X w/holster in yesterday... I'm loving it, it looks way better than the otterbox, it provides more grip, you can actually see all the glass, and it doesn't block half the speaker on the back.. Glad I ordered it..

Received this message "Coupon code "XMAS15" is not valid. The coupon expired on Sun Dec 19 00:00:00 PST 2010", so it appears the code has expired. Will wait for other colors now.
Just to update everyone, I had a Platinum case (Innocase) from Best Buy. I returned it because the bottom part had become unreasonably loose. Waiting for Bestbuy.com to get the Otterbox back in stock. I'm currently using the "carbon fiber" looking case from Verizon.
i cant be the only one who thinks this is cool. I'm waiting for mine to be delivered.

LOL interesting..
a little too 'hip' for my phone but certainly neat
hahaha ok ok ill admit, it is a little too hip....
Lol...with todays technology I think that classifies as retro.
If it didnt look so bulky I would order one. They should have just printed the cassette look on a regular TPU case.
I just bought one on a whim!!
Now I need a matching wallapaper/ theme.
Have to admit...not at all what I was expecting but agree it is very cool (and retro).

Haha yep I would do the exact same! Neat though. Is it plastic or rubber?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
it is silicone. i have really gotten used to tpu cases and their tight fit. im not a big fan of silicone cases at all these days. this is BETTER than most SILICONE cases, but it is still no tpu. pretty much if you dont mind a silicone case you will like this, but if you love the tpu cases, dont bother. it looks really cool and it fits really nice. it wraps around the front of the phone which i always like to see a case do. if they made it a little tighter i would reccomend it, but it just doesent fit the way i want it to :/
Well thank you for the info,
not to hijack or anything but what is the difference between silicon and TPU?
tpu is thermo-polyurethane. it feel like a hard plastic case and has the shine of a hard plastic case but it is completely flexible. a tpu case never streches either, they typically fit tighter than silicone cases from the start too. and since it deosent strech it wont slip off a few months later like most silicone cases. also since tpu is smoother and not as gummy as silicone, dirt doesent really cling to it, and you can clean it with a wet papertowel or some windex.
Okay, got it now. Thanks.
They have these in lots of different colors too if you look on amazon, for lots of different phones too! Pretty awesome but I love my kickstand case too much to give it up.
I'm debating on black or creme. Idk if I could give up my case that protects probably a lot better though.
That is pretty cool, but I think an NES controller case would be even cooler.
i got creme! i thought it looked more tapey haha it protects pretty well to be honest with you
Just want everyone to know, I received the Case-Mate Popcap case in white yesterday for my Skyrocket and I gotta admit, it is one of the best quality cases I ever used, better than all the Seido ones I previously had on my iPhones. I was real surprised on how nice it looked and its high-quality feel since I ordered it from ATT’s website and it didn’t provide much detail, so I was pleasantly surprised by it. Just to let everyone know, it has rubber coatings that cover the volume and power buttons, so it makes pressing them easy, and it also has rubber grips on the side to make your Skyrocket easy and comfortable to hold. I got the white back with gray rubber sides and it looks real nice, I think they got other colors, but the white one gives it a nice look.
Overall, just an awesome case. I searched online online and was able to get a coupon code for 25% off on ATT accessories.
got any pics you could snag of the case alone , inside and out, and then with it on the phone. AT&T is the only spot where you can get these bad boys and they have a pretty teribble 1 picture example so its hard to tell what your getting into.
Thanks

I wish it had a kickstand the Case-Mate Pop for the OGSGS2 has a kickstand. It would make more sense to have one for this phone, seeing how it has a bigger screen and all...
Damn, i didnt know the sgii had a kickstand, that wouldve been real cool
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Totally agree. I picked one of these up at the AT&T store literally about an hour ago, and it's one of the best cases I've used for any phone, period. It's rubberized on the inside so it looks like it could absorb some shock if you dropped it, and the grips on the sides make it easy to hold without it gripping in your pants pocket.
agreed, had the otterbox rubber one while i was waiting for this one and finally got it yesterday and love it. The rubber on the inside and the textured sides are great for grip but it can still go into any pocket no problem. Price is a little high but you get some good stuff.
I loved the casemate pop for the og s2. Im now waiting for the kickstand version and better colors for the skyrocket. Bought a creotech sbg neo in the meantime.
ya i still find it odd that AT&T gets these exclusive cases that the manufactuers don't even put on their website. if you even try to find any info on the case mates for the skyrocket only place you can go is the AT&T website.
Ill tell ya this much.. They gave me the White Casemate and a Red version to demo with my Skyrocket. Its the same design that they used for the OGSG2 but without the kickstand..
Which is a very similar to the Speck Hardcandy cases.
Very high quality case.. although i prefer a barely there type case.. So im sure i wont use it for too long.
Some pics please.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
I've got this case and here are some pics. IMHO it's really bulky and I'll be switching to a barely there when they have them not in pink.
but, I can't post pics until 8 posts.. oh well..
Pics please.
would you be able to upload them somewhere and post a link here?
for those that are looking I have the sky rocket now with the POP case it is hands down the best with no bulk im coming from the Infuse with the same POP case they are identical 100% its the best i could find hope this helps check the link http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Infuse-4G-Cases/Case-Mate-Samsung-Infuse-4G-Pop-Cases.asp
I'm thinking on either the case mate with kick stand or without. I need some real world pics
So I saw a lot of requests for pictures, and I'm not sure if the OP has seen them yet, but I'm gonna go ahead and attach them here so people can see what it looks like

I really like this case, but it doesn't seem to hold up pretty well. The rubber on the edges is going bad after only 3 days of putting it and taking it out of my pocket. I'll exchange it and see if another one does the same thing. Really too bad cause I don't like anything else.

This case is going back to AT&T this afternoon. The rubber is starting to rub off around the corners after a week or so of being in my pocket. Some pics with the case on. Seems solid but I'm going to go with a barely there look instead of the Candy shell type case.

Agreed, I bought this Casemate as well. It does have a high quality build to it, but I'm not sure if I'll keep it in lieu of the Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case I bought from Amazon. It arrives tomorrow and I'll try to remember to post my thoughts.

Diz is flexible for sure but 0 protection from the feel of things. I have it on mine right now, just gotta wait til seidio or someone else comes up with a better case.
Hey guys.
Received my Poetic bumper case today and I'm really enjoying it. Currently I have 3 cases, the official bumper case, the rearth ringke and the poetic borderline (aka bumper).
So far I really like this case, and in a TL;DR version, I think I'm going to use this case over the other two. The reason I like this case it that it shows off the unique Nexus 4 backplate while still offering some degree of protection. You'll see in the photos below that there is a small, yet noticeable raise on the sides of the case to prevent the phone from coming into contact with any flat object. I think I'll be choosing this case over the official bumper because this bumper case a slimmer profile and adds less bulk. My first impression with the official case is that it made the phone harder to hold (for me personally).
The covers for the buttons work well and I enjoy the feel of the case overall. The price I got this for (right around $6) and the quality make this case feel like a total steal.

Take a look at the pictures and let me know if you have question. Hope this helps, cheers.
Come on man! We already have an entire thread dedicated to this case... With a bunch of pictures. No need to create a new thread. lol
Thanks for the review bud. Mine should be coming in soon.
I'll add that to my collection
Thanks for your review. I ordered this case and it shipped, but I haven't received it yet. Now I can't wait! I have the official bumper too and I'm now glad I ordered this one too.

Should post your review there
I just received mine yesterday, and today i realized it was uneven, it turns out there is a rip on the top left corner, i don't how it happened or what caused it, because i didn't drop it or anything. I contacted costumer service and waiting for a reply. But I really do like the look and feel of this case

The flash on my camera made the gray look lighter than it normally appears. I honestly don't mind it, and if you're in a financial position to be able to gamble $9 I would say try it out.

I already bought it, $9 isn't a problem. Just prefer the black/black color setup.
I've taken a look at numerous amounts of pictures. It looks good, just wish grey was black but we'll see how this turns out. Only because I want to show off the back
Got mine today. It really is very nice. I actually like it more than the official bumper. It's very nice, slimmer and doesn't have the double bezel like the official bumper. Also, it didn't lift up my best skins ever back protector or screen protector.

Just ordered my poetic bumper off ebay and now I'm looking to get a full body XO skin. Could anyone suggest either the regular XO cut or the case cut?
Does it make the phone less slippery? My other cases are not good for wireless charging
And in 2-4 weeks you'll all be signing a different tune when it starts peeling apart. It's a good case until then though. I had two that both starting falling apart so I got my money back and went with the official bumper.
That looks even bigger than Google's bumper. And I couldn't use one without some back protection. I love my Fosmon(?) TPU case.

I was planing to buy that case, it looks great but the message at the bottom of the backside really bothers me, i wish they left it empty.
Wow this looks amazing
Do you recon it will fit with spigen TR GLASS?
looks like a aluminum neo hybrid, dont it?
Looks cool, but won't there be a concern with reduced reception because of the all metal body?
Just ordered one in black. Should be here on friday. Hopefully signal will be good and will fit with my spigen glass.
Full aluminium back =drop signal.....

I believe there is a review on youtube about this case. And it kills signal.
Cool
That's pretty cool. I liked the idea of putting a screw to hold the case, prevents it from detaching from the device in a fall.
However I'm pretty sure ther would be a bunch of people saying "cool iPhone you got there bro" ou "hey, I haven't this big new iPhone yet!"
Hi guys. I just received the case. Really mixed fillings. Have a look at pictures. I have to remove phone back cover as I have spigen TR glass on but fit is really good with no gaps and no creaking. Well made case but maybe I dont want aluminum after all :laugh:. NO signal drop in my house with full HSPA before and after case on. Also as I removed back cover of phone weight remains virtually same as the case is probably less than 10 grams in weight.
Overall a good case, good fit and quality, no drop in signal in my house(dbm and asu remain same, cant test NFC) but Ill probably sent it back and get a noreve leather back case. Leather wins aluminum :laugh:
