I have this one:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/armorcase/armor-case-t-mobile-wing_2710.htm

It is awesome, very sturdy and you can still use the phone's buttons. It has the proper cutout for the mirror and also opens in the correct direction to make the keyboard usable with the case still on (unlike some of the cheaper ones).

Build quality is tight and the neoprene liner holds the phone firmly in the case so it won't drop out. The case is light but adds a little bulk to the phone, it's still the slimmest option for pocket carry and could take a hard shot from a turnstyle or counter with no problem.

Definitely cheaper than a replacement lcd!

Hope that helps =)

They do look similar but I can't tell if the cheaper one has a protective plexiglass window or just an opening...

Here's a link to get half price invisible shields

$12 for the wing full-body is a decent deal, I'm just not sure how it will stick to the rubberized case of the wing and it does not give any crush/crack protection.

Either way I'm probably gonna get a screen protector

wouldn't the protective cover over the screen keep you from using the touchscreen?

hell yea.. i mena from the pics they look 100% the same vent holes and everything then the odds 2 companys make the same thing are slim

wouldn't the protective cover over the screen keep you from using the touchscreen?

yes thats why its a flip open case
for eazy access to the screen

in your logic a armor case would also prevent some one from opening the phone to the keyboard
same thing it flips open

So did it come yet? I'm curious to hear how the build quality/tightness of lockup etc. to see if I paid an extra $14 for a boxwave sticker =)

i have this case, nice fit, the matte metal is pretty slippery and it has slipped out of my hands a couple of times. one time the case popped open when it hit the pavement. also, when you drop it, the case will get silver nicks all over it. it is pretty strong, but will deform a little when you drop it, you can kinda bend and reshape the case to good as new. case also dents if it lands squarely on a corner.
