Problem with a seller with that many feedback is, you can go months with purely negative feedback before it affects the % significantly.
The guy's a drop shipper. I actuallly bought a couple of Galaxy Portal cases and some SGS screen protectors from him last week. Had no problems with delivery on the stuff I ordered from him. I asked about the silicone SGS cases at the time and he told me he was currently out of stock - that's why I ended up buying the Zenus case.
ok, well ill order one up at £3.50 you cant really go wrong
If anyone prefers amazon,
heres a link to the item I bought mine from (it was despatched on Monday)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003U6VTOC/ref=oss_product
I ordered one of those yesterday and received an email through to say it had been despatched, hopefully it'll arrive soon.
Just a quick follow up to this, it arrived after a couple of days and for the money the case is great. It fits well and isn't too thick and does it's job of making the phone a lot less slippy.
The screen protector shipped with it was a Terrapin one which is not bad although the edges didn't stick brilliantly.
One thing of note for a few phone calls people were complaining that I sounded muffled and finally I checked the mic and the hole for it in the case was cut but it hadn't gone all of the way through, no wonder people had trouble hearing me.
lol, yea my gfs turned up, i ordered mine the day after here and 3 extra days later it isnt here lol.
hers like you said was a really good fit, surprising for the money, all slots lined up and for £3 even the camera cutout has a small bevel
really good value for money, but if you want a decent screen protector dont buy this one because its included, imho its crap, well compared to my martin fields
The wife got one of these for her galaxy..she thinks its ok, however she is going to buy a jelly one as well as this one gets dusty and covered in little hairs (so she tells me!)
Also the screen protectors edges don't stick very very well.
She'll keep you posted on the jelly one (but its coming from hong kong..so it may be a while!)
as far as im aware its pretty much jelly anyway, i would think the real 'wobbly' ones lol would attract more lint etc

yea it looks great, and even better when you put them on the phone.
However, do you know if these i9000 case going to be compatible with samsung Vibrant
it's of the same phone design, no difference in the buttons cut outs
the only difference is in the front facing camera which some of the USA carriers are missing
those cases doesn't cover the front anyways, so it's not an issue

Not yet. I sent Xentris an email but they haven't replied yet. I'm sure if I complained to Best Buy about it they'd give me a new phone but I don't know if I will. I wish they made a case that was lined with silicone on the inside for the Epic.
This seems to be a common problem for the Epic hard cases. I'm not a fan of hard cases just because of the bulk, but it's good to know they are messing them up.

I'm not a fan of hard cases either, I prefer silicone cases, but since the Epic is a sliding phone all we get are hard cases
cant stand hard cases either....for now until i find the right case (i swear its taking longer to find that than my last car). All im using for now is a bag that i got with a pair of oakleys from sunglass hut. scratch protection....better than nothing. every other type of potential hazzard.....its a nightmare!
do they make a case that does not allow the phone to slide? may sound terribly stupid, but my gf does not really need the physical keyboard...
just curious.
flame on
I tried the Verizon gel case at Best Buy, not great, because I don't want the slider either.
Next stop is cheap kiosk at mall, the Verizon phone has same rounded corner
and shape, just thinner, so something might be workable.
different camera placement though
i had the red case way too hard to remove so i returned it and am getting a phantomzkinz instead

I had the same problem with the one sold buy Best Buy (Sedio) and I just ordered a Phantomskinz.
Just wanted to post an update, Xentris never replied to my email.
Xentris Snap on cover for Epic 3G
I was in love with this case-that is until the matte paint started peeling after only 30 days. It will do until it bugs me so bad I have to fork out the cash for a Seidio case. Don't bother. I guess it was better than carrying it out without protection but stay away from it-it's cheap crap
I emailed them-lets see where it gets me

It's a fugly piece of crap, don't buy it. Thanks to Viper786 there is a review and pictures here.
I had the $20 hard case that sprint sells on mine for like 2 months.. recently took it off to notice the marks on my epic.. i got the case to keep it mint and it essentially left a etching around my phone. I thought about yelling at sprint but not sure if they would replace or send off for repair... I also didnt buy the insurance and its been over 30days so wasn't sure how that would all pan out. Might head up there tomorrow and see what they say.

That blows. I bought that case today and I actually really like it. Not too bulky and has a nice grip. I also like the rubbery weave on the back. Now reading this makes me concerned. It seems like it is designed the same way as Seidio cases and I never had that issue with them. I may return it for Seidio then. Bummer.

yeah i liked it for the same reason and liked it up to a week ago whe i took it off.. i figured it was just me with a random issue.. i.e sand in pocked from fishing over the summer or something... i still like it but kinda like the feel with it off too.. i'll live with it either way... but if they replace it i might look into some sort of silicone hugger or vinyl wrap.
well amazon does have the xmatrix case for epic 4g and the build quality is the best i have seen for the epic...there is no interference or friction from the keyboard ...plus it has two layers like the otterbox cases one silicone and one soft touch plastic....based on the quality of this case, they could be charging otterbox prices and this would still be a good deal....stay tuned, i will be creating a new post with pics in a few minutes
I stumbled on this http://cheapdroids.com/T-Mobile-G2-Monaco-Aluminum-Case-Black-Open-Screen-Design.html
and was wondering if anyone had it or had reviews about it, looking to see that it wont interfere with keyboard like some do.

From the picture it looks like a solid one-piece, but then how would you get the phone in there?
"The lock on the side holds the top and bottom of the case tightly together and prevents the case from accidentally opening"
It seems that it's some kind of lock, so that would mean it's openable, but don't hold me to that
*Edit*: http://cheapdroids.com/T-Mobile-G2-Monaco-Aluminum-Case-Silver-Open-Screen-Design.html
Thats the silver one, there you can see the long mechanism a bit better, so from the looks of it, you can still open it.
Ohh I didn't see that shot great gonna order one

Could you let us/me know how it is? It looks rather interesting
Definitely looking forward to an XDA member's review on this with better pics!
Once I get it pics and review will be up i really just want something easier to take on an off then the ones that tmobile has cause I use a case for work which is painting, and the tmobile cases felt like i would screw the phone up taking them on and off alot.
I am very interested in this case as well and will probably order. I found a different seller on eBay selling this case, link below. It includes more pictures as well.

Well a lot of people around here are looking for that. Something to lock the keyboard in place during normal day to day use. That way it isn't opening in your pocket and stuff like that.

Yea that works out for them but it means im still on the hunt >>
I agree in theory you shouldn't have to need this case. But if you are like me, my phone hinge is loose and it feels wobbly to even text. So if this case can hold the goods together securely then it looks like its worth it.
Just ordered one. Let's see if its better then the otterbox.

Looks sturdy. The added bulk keeps me away though.
I agree, I am worried about the excess bulkiness. Looks like a brick! All my friends have iPhone 4's so I dont want to pull out something looking a decade old! However pics and youtube videos can be deceiving. The G2 is a beautiful phone and doesnt seem to show scratches easy. I too have the loose hinge and like I said in a previous post, scotch tape on the sides is the best answer!

Agreed. I always find myself buying cases for all of my devices. 2 weeks later i end up ditching them going back to naked. right now i just have the stealthguards full body protector on which is excellent even for 10$. I, for one, hate the g2's keyboard, however, its one of the best ones out thus far. (if that makes any sense)
Anybody who ordered this case received it yet? Ordered mine on the 17th and still hasn't arrived....
[G2/HTC Vision]
DO NOT ORDER. Took forever to come and the case is complete crap. Finish sucks. Build sucks. Overall suck
[G2/HTC Vision]
Dont know if anyone is looking for a Screen Protectors but Boxwave.com has their ClearTouch Crystal Screen protectors and those things are clear supposed to be 99% Clear. They're like 12$ maybe cheaper with Coupon code. hard to tell you have one on if applied right. Check em out
I got the ones from Verizon and don't like them. I may try these. Thx
I've always used Clarivue screen protectors but they don't have any for the Thunderbolt yet so I tried Steinheil and they are basically the same. They use static cling to adhere to the screen, so no liquids and any bubbles are easy to squeegee right out. I got the Ultra Clear and they are excellent. I agree the ones I bought from Verizon suck.
I bought the matte one from handhelditems 3-pack for $5.xx. Fits great and no bubbles at all. I prefer the matte finish/feel although it darkens the screen a little. It doesn't show fingerprints.

You beat me to it! Excellent zinger. LOL.
I used Invisible shield on an iPhone, and got used to it, but not sure I'll go back to that brand if I ever go back to using protectors.
I haven't used screen protectors for the last couple of years. No scratches on any of my devices over the years except for my original iPhone EDGE which got a nice ugly scratch right in the middle of the screen despite kid glove treatement. That made me put screens on my newer iPhones up to and including the 3G, but the 3G, iPhone 4 and all of my Android phones (5 of them) have gone naked without any screen scratches, and I'm not particularly kind to them. I often put two phones in the same pocket along with some headphones unplugged; all I do to protect the screens is put the phones where the screens don't touch each other.
All that said, there's something about the "feel" of the Thunderbolt's screen that makes me feel like it needs some protection. It's got a plastic-ish kind of feel compared to my Nexus and Samsung phones. Not sure what brand to try. Steinhell seems to be the most praised around here.
By the way, this should probably have been posted in the Accessories section.
I just bought the Zagg. The self-healing and key scratch test appealed to my desire to protect one of the most expensive phones I have ever owned. Did I fall for gimmick?

I usto use em but got tired of paying the shipping for replacements. I use other brands that dont turn yellow. they are also overpriced.
<- Hates ZaG
Still rocking the VZW ones, never tried anything else
Im running naked on the TB.. Ive had experience with Steinheil Ultra Crystal on my Dinc. It held up well but as far as healing from any slight nicks it seemed very fragile. In fact after I believe the 3rd day it had a large gash right in the middle of the protector and I baby my phones excessively. I removed it after about 2 months and used the Dinc naked for about 5 months before getting the TB and it still looks brand new.. I have to agree thought that the TB screen does have a fragile feel to it and has an almost mosaic look to it under light whereas the Dinc looks very sharp. I may decide to go with the Steinheil Ultra Fine this time around for both my TB and Xoom

All that said, time for me to come back and eat up a serving of my own crow to warn others that these rotten phones need a 3rd party screen protector.
I originally put a Clear Coat shield on my Thunderbolt after about 2-3 weeks of owning it. I had it "professionally" installed at one of their kiosks. Butt ugly installation! Some kind of haze under the protector that just left streaks and were noticeable enough to be annoying, but not enough to bother going back.
Eventually I convinced myself that the phone didn't need one, and the screen does look MUCH better without it.
Anyways, you know where this is going...i took the Clear Coat off the phone (even posted a youtube video of it) about a month ago and damn it, I now have a nasty 1/8" scratch (enough to catch my fingernail on) up near the notification bar. Very disappointing.
I won't claim to have treated this phone with kid gloves, but it's never been dropped, has usually been holstered (the HTC one that protects the screen), and when riding naked with another phone in my pocket I always made sure it was glass to cloth, not the other phone.
Absolutely no clue how it scratched. Gorilla glass my foot.
Time to look for a new protector that isn't ugly and doesn't affect the screen's appearance; Steinhell still sounding like the way to go.
I use Gadget Guards. Cheaper than Invisible Shield / Steinhell but just as good, and no orange peel feel.

I got a guy tomorrow whose willing to do a straight swap, his great condition One S for my great condition Galaxy Nexus.
Since purchasing the Nexus a week ago, I've been annoyed severely by the yellow tint of the screen, 720p or not. I saw a demo model of the One S at a local retailer and the white's were much better then that of the G-Nex.
So what do you guys think, even trade, should I pull the trigger?
(Apologies for posting this both here and in general, Mods, please delete this thread as it is a duplicate)
Thanks.
do it !! if you dont like the nexus and you do like the one s, its a no brainer lol
and if its a straight swop with no money involved, you got nothing to lose really
Exactly, I would do it as well! There's no reason not to do it. But check the phone in detail and pay attention to
- coating (if it's the black one)
- display color from different pov, there are displays out there providing a whole rainbow
- sim cover (sometime there not fixed well)
Overall the One S is the superior phone.
I would..I love this phone. Gotta sari probably the best phone I have ever owned
Sent from my One S using xda premium
i went back to my galaxy nexus, mainly due to the lack of AOSP options on the one-s right now. once there are some more ROMS available i will probably start using the One more often.
I made the trade, and I'm so happy I did, the One S is gorgeous! Man the device is so thin, such a pleasure to hold in the hand, and feels solid. As odd as it sounds, it made the Nexus feel thick and heavy! I'm also very happy with Sense over ICS, it's really a treat to use and finally, yes, finally, I've bought a phone that I can actually keep for the next year! I've gone through so many devices in the past 6 months it's made my head spin. This is the "One", as fitting as that sounds. Now, time to Zagg up the entire phone!

Glad you made the right choice just about zagg... I am not sure invisible shield is a good choice on this phone. What colour is yours BTW? I have seen a picture in the accessory threads that it looks awful with zagg. Just a simple tpu is the best I believe.

Thank you, I'm glad too. I never was quite able to warm up to the Nexus. Going from the Amaze, to the SGS2, to the Nexus, to the One S has been anything but fun, but ultimately, I've made the right decision in terms of the S having everything I desire and then some.
It's the grey version with the blue camera lining. Not sure what color this is. But it's really amazing feeling quality, I mean, I've never held a phone that felt this good in my life. It's also in mint condition, which is why I wanted to Zagg it up to ensure it stays that way. So you're suggesting not to use Zagg. Do you know of any other full body protectors that would be compatible? It's definitely something I want to do as soon as possible.
Thanks again for your help.

I don't know other full body protector other than Zagg. Was wanting to get zagg for my grey one s as well cos had it on my wife's iPhone and it was not bad. But since there are two pieces on the back of one s it looks bad IMO with invisible shield being split into two.
I would suggest a case or the clear hard shell but the latter does not cover top and bottom so don't drop the phone.

I found a store (cart) in my local city Galleria called "Gadget Guard" that has a great full phone body protector. It doesn't covery the camera's, or speaker grills, and fits pretty good. The protector is also very durable and less "bumpy" over Zagg. It's smooth and feels natural. It also has a lifetime warranty which is great, so if it ever bubbles up or tears, they'll replace it for free.
The only problem is, I can't put a case over it because it might adjust and alter the protector. So that's a downfall, but otherwise, the entire phone is completely protected and it looks quite elegant imo.
Zagg has good and bad, I think. I had a screen protector on my sensation that I thought was better than zagg. Smooth and not so bumpy. And the plastic was like half as thin as a zagg shield. Personally, I have the skull candy case for my One S and am going sans screen protector. If i can think of the name of the screen protector that I prefer over Zagg, I'll let you know.

The lady who was installing it did a really good job, no bubbles AT ALL, no dust particles, and it goes all around the phone without compromising the camera, speaker grills, and is as tight fitted as can be without the ridges that Zagg sometimes causes. Plus it's great on detracting fingerprints.
Overall happy with it. Overall happy all together that I traded my G-Nexus for this amazing device (no disrespect to the HTC Amaze ). I'm one of the people who enjoy Sense and 4.0 on top of ICS has been a significant upgrade over 3.0 over GB. I'm still on the fence with rooting/installing a rom, but I do so with every phone I've owned so I'm sure the One S won't be any different. I'm just enjoying the stock experience so much as is.
Thanks again for your help.
To be honest, I think I am going to go to the mall today to put the screen protector on it as well. I may have found the store in Minnesota where I live. But ironically, I have been debating on going to the galaxy nexus from the One S, lol. The draw for me is the slightly larger screen and where the headphone jack and micro usb port are located. I like that they are on the bottom.

The guy who traded his One S for my Galaxy Nexus was very happy. He had every intention to trade and figured it was an equal deal, I agreed.
It's all a matter of taste, if you like the bigger screen, higher res, stock ICS with quicker updates, Nexus it is.
If you prefer a somewhat smaller, but just as vibrant screen, better processor, better camera, better speaker, go with the One S.
Both have their advantages and both are great, I just think I had a somewhat defective Galaxy Nexus unit with a really awful blue/yellow tint issue with the screen. My eyes were never able to get used to it no matter how much I tried. And I've had a Galaxy S2, which was perfectly fine and vibrant to the core. But the Nexus' white's were just totally and completely off. It's like someone put a blueish yellowish filter screen on top of the phone prior to shipping.
I flashed Franco.Kernel to change the Gamma and RGB levels, but nothing, and I mean nothing helped. I tried every single possible combination, and it was always off.
