I was looking around for a slim fit case for my tilt since I do not want to make any scratches on it's beautiful body, I found out that most online stores sell the rubberized case for $30+, I digged on eBay and I just won and received my case same as this auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-at-t-TILT-8925-TYTN-II-RUBBER-BLACK-SKIN-CASE-COVER_W0QQitemZ270244867788QQihZ017QQcategoryZ2033 6QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
It cost me only $9.20 total, which is way cheaper than most other website charges.
The case fits perfect on my Tilt, it's rubberized so it's got a great feeling when u touch it. I've included some photos below of the case I got. I think it's a great bargan and just want to share this info w u guys.
Look at the quality of this product, it's made in China alrite, but it's of good quality(for $9...).

Clipper is not installed, I just put it on for reference of how it will look like with a clipper. I personally do not use clipper.

Thanks. Looks perfect and not too bulky. Also the recess will make finding the d**mn on/off button easier :p

I've owned a couple of these (rubberized & non-rubberized) and the lack of bevel on the front makes it hard to use the soft keys and scroll bar.
AFAIK, the only rubberized case that does have a bevelled front is from Seidio.

I agree with you, there is actually quite some recess on the side buttons and the front. Made it really easy to press the buttons, especially the d*** on/off button.
The front is actually beveled Alex, and have a bit of space around the keys so pressing the front button is no pain at all (I have a small hand and that's prob why)
It's $9, what you got to lose :P

Why pay $9 when I've paid $3.24 for it on Amazon?

BTW, I still prefer the Seidio one over this one...

thanks for the tip alex, I just ordered this two days ago for $6 shipped from amazon, just got here today...damn fast shipping! Anyways, it's what I would expect for only $6, it doesn't fit perfect, I still can't get one edge to snap on.
this is okay though, because just last night I dropped my phone getting out of the car, and my screen stopped working for about a half hour. Scary half hour for sure, I thought for sure I would be swapping out a screen. So this should help, if not just for peace of mind.

I ordered this from Amazon too, because I really wanted to try out the clip. Put it on for 5 minutes to try it out, and after discovering the same thing as you (it doesn't fit properly on the top), I quickly decided to go back to the Seidio model.
It took me 10 minutes to remove the case from the bottom of my phone :P
You get what you pay for. Lesson learned.

I purchased the Luxmo case too. The bottom right tab of the top case did not fit too. The solution is to use sandpaper. Do not sand the tab but the frame under the tab from the inside.

I will try the sandpaper method. Other issues I'm having with the case is charging and syncing cables. The factory Tilt charging cable doesn't push all the way in with this case, however it is enough to charge, and I am just barely able to use my 3.5mm audio adapter for in car use. I'm going to make some modifications, hell it's only $6 anyways.

Just bought this. Put it on. I liked it. Wanted to try out the belt clip so I tried to take it off. The front clip broke off. Piece of crap IMHO. Going with the $32 Seidio super slim rubberized case. Would rather have something that lasts longer and can be removed. Hell I'd rather buy just 1 Seidio case then buy 3 cheap ones.

I just bought this on amazon, ill risk it, and if the one corner doesnt fit - ill see what i can to do sand the inside corner. -i doubt ill be taking it off after i put it on so, im not worried bout it breaking with the removal procedure :)

I didn't really think I'd be removing it either. But I just wanted to see how it looked with the clip. Just ordered a Seidio one. I know that the seidio one is good :]

I purchased the one from amazon. I am not a fan of the clip, I prefer a pouch. The thing only cost $6 with shipping. I really like it. Worth it. I wish the edges where it was coated could have been a bit nicer but hey....it was only 6 bucks to my door.

I bought the one off eBay from the first post.
Pros:
Fits GREAT on my Tilt, and is easy to put on. It does exactly what I need it to do, which is keep the stock shell nice and stop it from sliding around in my pocket so much if I'm wearing cargo shorts. Nice feel/grip when talking or surfing.
Cons:
This shell won't give your device a better chance of suriving a fall. I don't think these devices "bounce test" well :rolleyes:

thanks for the amazon references..id never have thought to look on amazon for cases..ever since ive had my 8525 ive gotten cases off ebay..clear ones..smoke clear ones...and since ive had my att tilt ive gotten a smoke clear one which fit perfectly but one of the tabs broke and ive always had this happen and just makeshifted superglue to make a tab but with this recent purchase on ebay of the rubberized case..the bottom right corner of the top piece didnt fit and no matter how hard i tried i couldnt get it to stay because the case was just a tad to small in width on the bottom so only one tab would be in place at a time so when i feel neccessary ill try the ones on amazon..ive always used cases not to keep it from breaking on impact but to keep scratches away because ive dropped my phone many many times and it has slid across parkinglots and if it werent for these cheapo cases id wouldnt be able to resell them at a good price when i want to by the next model release ;-)

oh and i see alot of people having problems removing them...just grow some fingernails and slide around the edges with some force and it pops it right off. just like if youve ever dissassembled your tilt.kaiser you need to pop the back housing off..same deal :)

Yeah....I have bought two cheap cases and it's a pain in the neck to remove them, the sad part is that you could end up scratching the phone while removing the thing :mad:
It's the seidio any better than this?

I have some disposable cases for a $1, and 25% off on an order of 10 or more. I also have a shock resistant version. :p

Finally figured that ~$4 isn't too much of an expense to try a different case, so I got the Amazon one. Unlike others, I didn't have a problem getting the case to fit. It's a nice fit, but definitely not the hassle that others talk about.
One thing that I did notice... the plastic is white. The problem itself is that the rubberized spray isn't very clean around the edges. This led to a bit of scraping on the clip edges, thus showing a bit of white around the edges.
In short, it was worth it to me and I won't go back to a leather case in the foreseeable future.

I haven't bought one of these for my Kaiser, but the one just like it I did buy for my Hermes was junk also. I didnt have an issue with the clip breaking..... mine was much more severe. The little tabs that are supposed to grip the phone....don't grip so well. My phone completely popped out of its case and fell into 2 feet of water ( salt water nonetheless ) on a fishing expedition.
Never again.....

You must be referring to the non-rubberized black one. Have that one too, fits well, but removing it causes cracks in the black paint. Plus, black & shiny = slippery. Almost had a fumble within minutes of putting it on, as it flew up in the air 5 times, before I luckily caught it...
I've been through bodyguardz skin, three of these slim cases (two cheapies, one black & shiny, one cheapie rubberized and the seidio rubberized) and I've stopped using all of them. Now I just stick it in my pocket :)
