Used idye poly, cant use rit dye anymore they changed their formula. Has to be a disperse dye in order to dye polycarbonate plastic. Just mix with water in a stainless pot and simmer. Check every 2 to three minutes till its the color u want. Takes about 20 minutes total. After words just run under water and rub with a rag to get the excess off.

Thanks, I'm assuming the black parts of the case are the silicone? They are not affected by the dye?
yes, it's the hard polycarbonate shell that's dyed, the silicone part seperates from the hard shell.
nice, i wonder if I could pull this off with the defender series without screwing up the built in screen protector lol. Might have to get creative!!
just push out the screen protector, replace it after words by applying a little adhesive around the case and reapply it. the screen protector will dye the color as well. also, it's best to do this on a white case, can't dye a black one at all.
Thanks! Now to decide on a color!...I love the red on black but I may go with a different color!!
Picked up a Nillkin hard case for ten bucks off eBay. Usually go for more protection, but this one's done a good job so far. I also didn't want something that put a stack of pressure on the sides of the phone:
Well worth the ten bucks, the included screen protector goes well also.

I think these pictures (great ones btw) have convinced me to go with this case. Low profile, yet still looks great and provides just enough protection. I thought about the commuter, but I don't think I wanna make my phone any bigger than it is.

I have three more cases incoming (white OB Commuter, smoked TPU and this beast), so will get some more shots up as they arrive :good:
The Poetic Atmosphere case has started to unravel. The gray sides are detaching from the clear part. I haven't had this case for a month. It's really disappointing. I'm going to try and get a replacement from Amazon.
I just got my Nillkin case. Great fit, looks nice, doesn't add much thickness. The thing that bothers me is it's just as slippery as the soft-touch coating on the phone. Still can't get a good grip. I wonder if there's something I could brush onto the edges to add some grip?

Here's a few snaps of the Jekod TPU, which arrived just now. Better protection than the Nillkin, a bigger lip around the LCD and proper all-side coverage. Fit and finish is good, the textured back works well and feels good, the camera and 3.5mm cutouts are a little off but you can wiggle them into the right position. Volume buttons are cutout, not covered. Comes in a nice box with a decent screen protector. Overall a good purchase, and will replace the Nillkin as my daily-use case:

Yeah... this is why I ended up purchasing the Incipio Feather case.
It has the same design as the Nillkin, which I personally love, but it comes with soft touch finish, which gives it much better gripe, in the hand.
I also prefer the gray color.
Only complaint is that they didn't provide a cut-out for the rear notification, but the same is true with the Nillkin case.
do you see it being a issue of the sides of the case scratching the bezel by the screen"??
My phone doesn't show any scratches or damage to the bezel at all. I also was originally concerned about how difficult it might be to remove this case,but, while it takes some slight dexterity (you have to use your finger nail to pull one edge away from the DNA's screen, then it pops out) it really hasn't been hard to remove the case at all.
Putting the DNA in the case is very easy!
Bump.
Just ordered this TPU. For 7 bucks shipped its not bad. Really wanna try the jekoud one above though.

3I have a couple. A standard case with a built in stand. It came with a holster, which i would never use. Purchased directly from Verizon corporate store. It has a nice design that aids in gripping the phone.
Not too much of a lip
I like how designers gave the user a little extra room past the vol up and vol dn rocker
Corner protection leaves much to be desired
Is everyone's flap chipping away like mine? I had to let a fingernail grow out just to pop this thing out
Here's how the back looks with the stand pulled out
Then there is the Otter Box, again purchased from the Verizon store.
The standard 3-piece fare
Finally, fully clothed
