I just got my Case-Mate Vroom and i thought sharing with you guys. First here are some pictures to show how it looks:
It doesn't feel cheap and gives the phone some extra grip, i like this. all the functions are accessable. When you get the package you will find a screen protector and a cleaning cloth.
pros:
- Extra Grip
- Your phone doesn't get damaged when dropped
- Great look
- shorter brake distance
Cons:
- It's a little bulky
- it smells (at first)
I bought it from ebay http://cgi.ebay.nl/case-mate-Vroom-...ViewItem&pt=Handy_Zubehör&hash=item1e5b61ebc9
the shipping take 2 days this was really amazing
Ya, I have this case aswell, and I really like it. I've had it for a month or so now, and it's doing good. I have setup a MicroSD -> SD adapter which comes out under my battery door and fits inside the case 32GB SD Class 6 card FTW. Works good and doesn't catch on anything. It's what I would recommend.
Yhea i saw the SD card setup. but don't you get a bubble on the back, with your setup?
I have a love hate relationship with this case.
Pros:
1.I dont need a car dock because its "sticky" enough to stay put by my speedometer.
2.Protection from dropping it.
3.More grip definitely makes it easier for 2 handed typing.
Cons:
1. This case cleans my pockets of lint.
2. This phone is thin with out the case, really thin. With the case on I always get the "what kinda iPhone is that"
Generally when not working I keep the phone out of the case (I also have a Best Skin Ever on, so not that big of a deal).
Over all I am happy with the case.

Just noticed this on htcdirect.co.uk
Note: May interfere with ambient light sensor which controls screen brightness in sunlit conditions.
Anyone noticed any problems with this?

I believe this is for the older model case they were selling...no problems here. The case doesn't actually even cover any part of the screen.

Looking at the pictures, thats what I figured. Thanks for the feedback though.
very competitive with otterbox, but with grat designing

Nice I need to order
Looks very nice indeed! Might have to get one too, to interchange with my Otterbox case.
Though ive got a slight worry that glossy black will scratch like a motherducker in no time.
If anyone gets one can you post some pictures and maybe a video too? Curious to see what that plastic is like. Cheers!
I was gonna go for a casemate tough, but I think I might wait for this, looks very nice.
Just pre-ordered one from here:

Sounds great, be sure to take lots of pictures.
Results are in!
Got it on, and loving it! Extremely perfect fit. 100% top quality. It's all one piece, so getting it on is a bugger, but once it's on, you can't tell it's a case unless you know what the phone looks like without it. The light gray part is very soft, and very comfortable to hold. It does not add extra bulk when holding it, but just enough, so now it rest better in my palm. The glossy hard black part makes it look so sexy. Overall a great feeling case. The buttons are the easiest to push now. Even though they stick out ever so slightly they don't look out of place like the OtterBox commuter case. They have a dimple on the inside also which helps press the buttons on the phone, so you no longer need to press firmly, but just a gentle press works fine, but not so gentle that you would press it by mistake. The rubber around the screen is a great fit. It goes all the way to the glass, so you no longer have that aluminum edge there. All in all a great case. I highly recommend it.

Nope. The lens is slightly inside the case. The entire phone lies perfectly flat. Actually the shinny black back doesn't even touch the surface when it's on its back, so that won't get scratched by sliding the phone on a table or anything. The soft gray side grips are slightly raised from the case, so the middle is actually off the ground (I tried taking a pic of that, but it just looks like it's sitting flush, so I didn't add those).

So, the thing is a ***** to fit into initially.
Will it give way after a while so you can get it in and out easily, or is it some hard plastic that won't yield or wear down? Do you guys who own one see any way of modifying it for quicker removal?
I'd really like a case but I do not want to lose the ability to use my device for satnav, and I already have the Brodit cradle mounted....

The shinny black part is very hard plastic, and since the very soft gray part is fused to it, it is really really hard to get in and out. I almost feel like if I push any harder I'm going to break one or the other, but the soft part is just soft enough to get it in there. I don't see how it could get easier over time. It's one of those cases that once it's on, it's on for a long long time. Compared to the OtterBox Commuter case that one seems like it can fall off, and the Pop case seems like it was actually made into the phone, and not to come off without a struggle, but if I had to make a choice I would pick the Pop case 100% of the time. Again if you compare them side by side the OtterBox looks like it was made for a kid to play with, and the Case-Mate one that you buy tickets to see it in a museum. It is that good!
Thanks a lot for the quick reply mate. I was thinking that maybe one could cut or file down one of the plastic ridges that snap into place around the screen to hold the device.
I done that ages ago on a case for a XDA mini, and it worked quite nicely but obviously there is a thin line between making the in and out easier and making the case unusable by cutting in too far...
Again thanks for your input...

Thank you for good products to introduce.
Found this case on Aliexpress.com that promises no signal loss because slots are cut out where each antennae strips are on the phone. Looks amazing. Also says it has a liner on the inside to cushion the phone if dropped.

I am ordering one but does anyone ordered have any reviews of this case?
Unfortunately that isn't how it works. Those plastic slots aren't really there for the antenna to radiate through. Either they are merely aesthetic, or they are there to break up the metal sides so that they are the right length to actually be part of the antenna themselves. So this case really is going to do nothing to stop any signal degradation.
Oh No, it's our friend Lucky Garden again pushing more China junk.
I do plan to order something like this one, as I was searching for it yesterday. Please give us review, when you get it.
Aww crap, I was hoping it would be a great case. Well I bought one but the good thing is it was only $2.99. When it gets here I will let you know what I think.
It came!!
So the case came today, took about 2 weeks to get it. Not bad I guess with the free shipping.
Things I like about it:
Fits snug, no movement or jiggling in the case
No signal loss, no wifi interference at all
Looks pretty slick, doesn't add bulk, can see the phones beauty
Buttons are very responsive and clicky. Metal buttons, not plastic.
Most cut outs are cut perfectly.
Things I don't like about it:
Minimal lay on the table protection on the front
Back of case presses against glass of phone creating an oil slick effect as seen in my pic below (nothing a matte screen protector can't fix)
Makes phone kind of slippery, feels almost like there isn't a case on the phone.
Headphone jack cutout it very narrow so anything other than original earphones probably won't fit.
All in all I like the case and will use it for work, not bad for a $3.00 case! I am really glad it isn't causing any problems with cell signal or wifi signal. I will probably order other colors in a few days!

I ordered one I think a day or two after you did. So it should be here soon. what about the GPS? Is the signal on that affected much?
---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 PM ----------
Oh, and as far as the slipperiness goes. I did this with my clear case and it worked pretty well. Most of the time that slipperiness is a combination of the slick plastic and the release agent they used. I started with 2000 grit sandpaper. Then I wet sanded it with 2000 grit. Then I 5000 grits sanded it. Then I used mothers plastic polish. Same thing you use on headlights. And it's much more comfortable to hold without getting that greasy slippery feeling and remaining crystal clear
Nice, I'll do that to help with the feel. My GPS seems to be unaffected as well. Seems like a win on this one to me.
One thing I will say is that the back cover is a pain to get off, doesn't slide off as easy as it goes on. Not a deal breaker but if you like to change your cases often this might be a problem for you.

If you want me to guineepig I will lol. I have no experience with this website is it better/more reliaable than ebay?
That's cool, yeah I don't want to put out $20 to find out it doesn't work as well as planned. I have purchased 5 cases over the past 6 years and have never had a problem. The money goes in escrow until you confirm you got your order in satisfactory condition and time. If not the money goes back to you. I pay with my credit card but others use Paypal. I hate Paypal so I don't use them. I thinks it's safe and will continue to order from Aliexpress. Others on this forum have also ordered, they may have some reviews on their experiences.
Ill buy it tonight. I am debating on black on black or back and silver
I just installed a after s reel protector on he back of my phone and the removal of the back of the case is super easy to remove now. I guess that moisture between the glass and the plastic was creating a suction keeping the back of the case stuck to the phone. Not a problem now though.
Really liking how this case feels and looks, most people don't even notice that a case is in my phone which is the whole point of me buying it.
I got this case via eBay and I am very pleased with it. Just what I wanted. I'll make a thread and take pictures later.

Would be interested to know if the case blocks the speaker on the phone or it routes the sound toward you. It looks like it could be routing the sound from the speak to the 2 holes at the bottom.

It seem that parts of the case are metal(aluminum?) and I hope this case won't make cell reception even weaker than it already is.

I may order when someone else serves as the test subject.
I'll stay tuned to see how other folks like it.
I ordered this case and immediately had horrible signal issues. I've e-mailed the seller asking if there's a solution. It's too bad to use as a phone, though wifi was not blocked at all. Normally I have strong LTE in my house but it's unusable with the case on.
Marvel should sue them for stealing Spiderman design (j/k). Only if this case had a belt clip, I'd bite. I want someone to make a case with a clip!

to each their own... but gawd, that's ugly.
I bought it when it first went up, before their description made it clear it was steel, I was hoping for a thin metal slip. The case is heavy as hell, and the built in screen protector traps pocket lint between the screen protector and screen. The case is held on with 6 hex screws, which worked, but made it even heavier.
It did muffle sound a little, as to radio...I'm just switching to Ting with GSM from Sprint with my phone. I was worried for a bit that my phone was the issue, but a girl who has a galaxy phone has all the same signal issues I did on Sprint. I'll let you know of mine is better, and how GSM is impacted by the case later.

I should also mention, like the Tudia, it made my side access worse. I use Lucid launcher specifically for the left side slide out favorite apps, these were really hard to activate on both this case, and the Tudia. I also use a pie fromthe right side, this was similarly hard to trigger, but at least I could customize the trigger width to accommodate the massive bearth.
Here is another new case on Amazon.

That doesn't look like a quality case to me. The back looks like plastic. But there aren't a lot of cases compatible with the 360 Camera so if you want specifically to use that feature it's probably worth taking the chance since the case is so cheap. But if you don't care about the 360 Camera there are clearly way better choices.

I bought it.
It actually isn't cheap feeling.
Soft touch.
Pretty heavy.
Secures on the phone pretty well.
Looks like it will protect the phone in a drop.
It does add bulk.
The flip down for the camera is pretty cool.
The opening on the back for the camera is large since the case is so deep.
The fingerprint sensor hole is also large because they made it to clear the camera opening without leaving a small piece of TPU inside.
Overall I like it for the ~$10 I paid.
It is either this or naked.
I bought it as well.
Doesn't feel cheap to me.
Adds a decent amount of bulk to the phone but not too much.
The flip down feels pretty sturdy and hopefully it won't loosen over time.
It has a nice feel to it. Soft but not slick. Sort of rubberized.
I've been using the first Tudia case that came out for this phone for awhile now and it's fine most of the time. But when I do use the 360 lens it is a hassle. Having to peel the case off. Hopefully this fixes that problem.

I tried it yesterday and the flip down works fine.
It's a bit stiff to latch and unlatch, but it does solve the 360 camera issue.
No more case removal! It also means that those screen protectors that glue around the edges will bel see likely to lift.
I still haven't decided if I want to use LOCA to attach a screen protector to my phone.
Hi guys, I'm sure you've seen quite a few pictures of those accessories, so I thought I'd post here a few images from very close to some details so you can have a good idea of the finish, etc.
Also a small comparison with an official case (nylon one). I've ordered a skin for it, but it was on preorder and just started shipping today.
Sorry for the lint on some pictures, it does catch it ^^
As for my opinion (one more of those), well the case does feel real good in hand, the phone feels really safe in there. The buttons are real good (miles better than Rhinoshield bumper). Only thing is that the fingerprint scanner is deep and in a small window, so must get a little used to the feeling of really accurately put the finger in there. And is it grippy ? Is fine! a bit better than the official case but not by super much.
Prism is also good, easy to install. Biggest critic is how sharp the edges are (you can see on the pictures). If you don't use a case, you'll feel them and I'd be afraid to lift it by mistake, not sure how securely it sticks. The feeling is like glass, I was using the phone naked previously and no problem with that. Also, it does not affect the screen, I think ; some peops say it makes the screen cloudy, but I do not notice.
Worth the price ? Hmm those things are a rip off no matter what. But they are both good quality products, and the glass screen protector without a black border is a real step up ^^.
There you go!
Thanks for sharing! Would you recommend dropping $$$ on this combo?

Well, all in all, it is near 60 USD.
The case is good I think, feels good and will protect the phone that's for sure, so if you don't have anything like that, it is a good buy. I also have an official OP cover and the main difference is that the Dbrand case has raised edges.
The glass, while it is good, is not as ground breaking as I imagined (Dbrand's marketing team is good ^^). The plus is that it feels like glass and does not have a black border, is as fingerprints resistant as the bare glass or the official screen protector. The bad is that the glass as you can see on the pictures is really only on the screen and has sharp corners, so you feel it when doing gestures, unless you use a case (because then your finger does not slide from the farther edge of the phone, if you see what I mean).
So out of the two, I would say the actually real good product is the case.
The case looks too bulky to me. I prefer the slimmer ones like the official protective sandstone or the karbon bumper, which are really well made. But I guess it depends on the environment you're working in (etc) which affects the danger your phoneis in, in which case, if it's a place you can easily damage it, this type of case can save you good money on repairs. The prism looks really durable from what I've seen online and I believe you get 2 in the box if I'm not mistaken, so if that's true, that's a big plus over rhinoshield's overpriced 1x black bordered piece of crap that covers at least 1mm of screen on each side, forcing you to just take it off minutes after installation and breaking it in anger.
Anyway, thanks for giving us a look at dbrand's new products. Was really looking forward to seeing someone talk about that.

I agree as well, it does add quite a bit of bulk.
I have all in all 3 cases. The simple one from OP (carbon one), their thicker nylon one and this one from dbrand. I don't really need a lot of protection (scratches protection is good enough) so it's mostly to change the look. I go naked as well with just a skin.
The result is that with that dbrand case you do feel very confident that the phone is safe.
Yes you do get two prism in the box, so that's actually quite a sweet deal because those are sturdy and nice to the touch really like glass without the border.
I have not been able to try with the simple case from OP, it's still in my boxes after moving house, but do not underestimate how annoying the edges of the prism are. They really really get in the way.
I think it's important to stress this because for example people were downplaying the terrible buttons of the Rhinoshield bumper for op5 and I got it and it was in actuality very bad.

I think it's important to stress this because for example people were downplaying the terrible buttons of the Rhinoshield bumper for op5 and I got it and it was in actuality very bad.

I dropped my OP6 from approximately 2.5meters from the locomotive's door and the phone miraculously survived with the karbon case having one nick in the top right side corner and surprisingly that disappeared after a few days. Very impressive quality. I was also very lucky, I guess, considering the height the phone fell from. THEN I got the bumper case from Rhinoshield along with the garbage black bordered glass. I broke the glass in half after basically donating money to them because that glass was not worth the price, but that was that. I put their bumper on my phone and left it there for a few days. ****ty buttons, poor quality material and slippery too, like a hard plastic you find in those kitchen accessories, but whatever, I liked the alert slider one. Then one day I got in my car and the phone fell from my pocket on concrete (or asphalt) and because it happened right at the edge of the road, one hard little rock managed to touch the edge of the screen at impact and cracked the screen on the middle right side with the crack starting from the bottom and ending in a "C" shape 2 or 3 centimeters above. So it's still ok but the start of the crack can be felt at touch so that's a bummer.
And in the end I could've given the money to the old lady beggar at the corner of the street instead of giving it to Rhinoshield for 2 absolutely rubbish products they made such a big fuss about.
Never again I'll buy from them. Dbrand's products seem a bit different though especially that prism. I might get one and put it on the screen to protect it from getting other cracks if I accidentally drop it, cause the crack is pretty small to make me replace the screen. I don't think it's worth it.

Yeah, as usual those things are very often quite a leap of faith. We want to believe that the more expensive it is the better it will be but the truth is that it's probably the same or close to the same with a different packaging :angel:
But need a screen protector at least to maintain the resell value of the devices.
I'll say again, prism is a good one but not perfect (like none of them is).
Can you comment on the alert slider functionality with the case on? I can make it out slightly on one of the pictures and it looks like you can use it with ease?
I'm currently using a Poetic case, I need a solid case with my work conditions. The only issue is the damn alert slider is rendered unusable without a pen or something similar handy.

Hey,
The slider is quite easy to use yes.
You got to get a bit used to it cause its quite nestled in there so you have to make a little effort at first to put the finger the right way.
Same as with the fingerprint reader, a little bit of time to get used to it, because it's deeper so you can't approach it from whatever direction like you would naked or with a different case. It's still easy to use.
All in all out of their two products, I recommand the case with no problem. If you look for safety then for sure go for it.
Will make a few more pics to show you.

Sure, no problem.
So here are a few more. The last one is to show how the phone screen does not touch a flat surface when it is put face down. It's blurry but you'll get the idea.
Also some lint, not fighting that anymore
