Anyone know where I can get a black matte TPU case?

Anyone know where I could find a solid black (no designs) matte finish TPU case? I can find glossy ones but havent found a matte one yet.

When I had my vibrant and hated every case that was out, I just sanded down a cheap ebay case and painted it myself.
Buy a black case from ebay and sand it down. Spray some matte black krylon one coat at a time and let it dry. Then to protect it from the oils in your hand, spray one to two coats of matte clear finish and let that dry completely. To harden the paint I let it dry under a heat lamp that I had from my turtles cage. That step is unnecissary but I did drop before and it barely got a nick in it from the pavement.

I've looked... There isn't one yet. Seller "TPU Cases" on Amazon says they are working on a flat black version. They just came out with a silver one and clear one. I just got the smoke and had the black gloss one. They fit perfect.

I'm guess I'm reposting this from another, similar thread, but I've found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180699200569&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_738wt_1037. And I think it looks better than the other TPU cases that have been going around. My only gripe is that it doesn't have a power button cutout. I'm debating on whether or not I should purchase it based on this one issue.

I love this case man. Thanks! Ordering it now.

Try Amazon.com they have some nice ones.

The one in this thread looks pretty good. The only thing is that it has a logo on the back, so not completely plain....but close.

No problem! I think I'm actually going to buy this case soon. When you get it, mind telling how the build quality/form factor is?

Ringke Slim case for Nexus 4.

I can't recommend these cases enough. I loved the Slim for my Galaxy Nexus. A very well designed case with minimal bulk. I doubt it offers the most protection but for those looking for just a little extra protection, this is the way to go.
http://www.rearthusa.com/google-nexus-4-ringke-slim-case
EDIT: says it releases on the 30th but I just got a shipping notification from Amazon. Fluke or awesome? Not sure.
EDIT 2: Just got shipping notification. it is in Texas. 11/29/12

had a rearth slim on my nexus s and was pretty satisfied with it. I don't even have my N4 yet but I'm tempted to order at that price
edit: just realized its for preorder

Also preordered the matte black case and screen protector. If this is as good as my Slim case for my Gnex it's going to be a good investment :good:

I wish the case covered the whole bezel, the top and bottom are exposed
Is the white one matte or glossy? i really cant tell from the pictures

These cases are minimal drop protection, perfect for the minimalist, not so good for a 6 foot drop. (Although you will be surprised what a little bit of material can do!)
If you want something minimal, (a little bigger than Rearth, but not otterbox) look at the Dizitronic TPU cases. http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=46_76

I had the white one for my GNex and it was glossy white. I really hope this one is matte white.

Agreed. Glossy was to glossy. Lol

The Ringke Slim was excellent for the Galaxy Nexus and even better for the iPhone 5...count me in. Ordered.

Agh, why did they make it protect the sides and not the top and bottom like the GN slim case....Maybe because it was so hard to remove the case, heh.

I ordered the white one a few hours ago and just got this email wasn't it a pre-order? I even got a tracking number

I ordered overnight and just got a shipping notification from Amazon with a tracking number (USPS) as well.

so it's true, they are shipping already... btw I don't even have my n4 yet XD

I'm not sure if my information is entirely accurate - but the girl I talked to said that once they generate a shipping label - it would show up on amazon as shipped... However, the product itself wont be shipped until the 30th.
I'd suggest to call them:
9:00am-6:00pm (CST) Monday - Friday
Call: 469-250-1307

Does anyone know if there's a eyelet for phone straps on this case?

I understand the importance of a case like this... I just don't get why design a sexy glass phone just to cover it up so you don't even see it.
Wouldn't a truly smart design be sexy and durable not requiring a case?

Ordered.

It's a gorgeous looking case but as mentioned before, the top and bottom part of the bezel is open.
Someone needs the same make a case where there's an opening in the back so we can show off the Nexus logo.

I picked one up as a temporary case. I'd really like to have the back shown off though, so I'll probably replace this with the bumper when that is available.

[Update]Spigen Neo Hybrid Case- Red,Slate and White

Hey guys. I just want to share this case I got for my GS4. The case feels good in hand and it doesn't add that much dimension to the phone. All in all this case is effective for the external impact protection and surely your S4 would look so sexy once you dress it up with this case. For $29, I wouldn't really keep this case, but I got the case with 50% off last week at amazon. Thanks!

Looks good. I ordered the silver at half price on Amazon.

Day 4 with USPS. Can't wait to get mine. I ordered on April 16th a Dante Red Sexy Neo Case

Isn't this the case that I read somewhere was giving chipping problems on the bezel of the s4?

Is the back of the case plastic-y or it's rubber? It'd be terrible to pull out of a pocket if it's rubber.

No that was the spigen super thin TPU one which I guess is really sharp on the insides. and fits really loose and is all around a piece of crap

It looks nice, but the sharpening of the corners. Makes it look a little too much like an iPhone for my taste. That said, how's the quality and fitment? Do you feel it adequately protects the phone? I just ordered an Incipio DualPro shine. Hoping it doesn't get here before the phone does

Thanks! Once the white one arrives, i'll take more photos for you guys and post it here. :good:
I have no idea about the bezel chipping they are talking about. As far as I can see, there's no contact between the plastic frame and the phone, only the TPU. It probably happened due to mistake installation or he could be changing cases very often.

How is the drop protection of this case?

How are people ordering them for 50% off? I love this case.

It WAS an amazon promo.

what about the back-speaker loudness if the phone is located on a flat table?

Sexy fuggin case. I have my slim armor slate metal blue. I like it but I switch cases and roms like I switch whores lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2

does the back of the case attract a lot of dust/lint? and how is the fit of the case on the phone? I read some people saying they are a little loose.

I wonder if I should just order their glass cover or both the glass and this case. Shame I missed 50% sale.

**CruzerLite Bugdroid Circuit/Androidified A2 REVIEW!**

Ever since getting my first CruzerLite cases for the HTC Rezound a few years back, I've loved the quality of their stuff! Yeah, they're basic TPU cases, but they always have a solid, sturdy feel that's just better than the cheap cases you find on eBay and whatnot.
Back when CruzerLite first started, they seemed to just have a few basic designs and some basic argyl type TPU cases, which I had for my Rezound. They were great, though, and felt like good quality. However, the company has matured over the years and has some unique, awesome designs!
I just bought the new BugDroid Circuit case, and I love it! I also decided to pick up the Androidified A2 case, which has the big Android guy on the back. I picked this one up as well because I've got the case for my DNA, and I loved the "ribbed" sides which help for grip. Here's some shots, starting with the BugDroid Circuit Case:

}
the rear design is awesome
cutouts for the speaker, camera, flash, and chargeport are perfect and aligned well
cutouts for volume, headphone jack and the IR sensor are perfect
the lip around the edge makes it great for placing it face-down
Now for the Androidified Case:
cool rear design, and great cutouts
camera and flash aligned perfectly
again, the lip around the edge is high enough for laying face-down
Overall, I love both of these cases. I've loved all of their stuff, and the quality for the S4 cases is great!
The ANDROIDIFIED A2 case can be found here, in many different colors:

The BUGDROID CIRCUIT case can be found here, in many different colors as well:
http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/samsung/galaxy-s-iv/bugdroid-circuit-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-iv
I suggest you check them out if you'd like a slim but great feeling case! I had a Diztronic before this, and it felt like it added some bulk to the phone. After sliding the CruzerLite cases on, I definitely noticed that it helped keep the smaller shape of the phone, all while adding some good protection!

Thanks for the write-up. I have a diztronic right now and I'm happy with it. I was wondering if the cruzerlites are thinner than my current case though. So you're saying these are thinner?

honestly yeah, the cruzerlites feel thinner than the diztronic. diztronic isn't bad, but i was just bored of the plain black matte finish.

I have my white cruzerlite case for about a month now and I'm very happy with it except that the case seems to stain easily. Let's just say the case isn't white anymore.

haha yeah, that's why i avoid clear and white cases....i love smoked!

good review case seems like and good design:good:

Doubts
Are these 2 cases made of TPU material?
Is there any other difference between these 2 cases other than their designs?
Does one provide more more protection than the other one?

Any good s4 cases?

Any good s4 cases with reviews?

I like that one in red it looks slick, doesn't look bulky too. Might get that on my Xmas list thanks

The neo hybrid by Spigen is probably the best looking case for S4 for at least. However the Samsung Protective cover+ isn't bad at all too but not that good looking tho.

Really wanted that case but I got the white phone for a reason: I like to see my white phone. If they had an option to replace the black back with white I would have gotten the spigen. Ended up getting a clear tpu from best buy. Not the best protection but the lip on it covers the screen and looks good/keeps it slim.

UAG, offers valuable protection and durable and sturdy. The looks of it may deter some people but I love mine, dropped my phone a few times and no damage done.

There is a link there to the UAG website.
Great price for a very protective, minimalist form factor case.
The Maverick/Ice model allows your back battery cover color to show through the transparent case :good:

Personally I use the pinlo United bumper. Bought them on eBay for cheap. I'm usually very careful with my stuff so I dont mind the minimalistic look

I got a casemate tough case. It works well, its survived a couple of drops onto concrete. Not too bulky, and has good grip. Just don't get the white one. I got the white one, the TPU insert is still bright white, but the hard shell is now a dingy white/brown, and nothing I have tried has cleaned it.

Guys check this one: Kouros Meteor from kouroscases
Genuine leather, alcantara lining, and for a great price. Google for it. Recommended.

Im searching for a cheap fake s view cover with glass/plastic window instead of only a cut out window.
