T-Mobile gel skin (Black) w/ Realook screen protector (updated pictures 8/6)

---

UPDATE: hey guys updated my post with better pictures (with the realook screen protector on) I've dropped my phone once from my pocket (about 3 ft) to the pavement and it didnt have one single bump or scratch on it! everything still looked new and even the gel case!

Hey guys I just purchased the black T-Mobile gel skin for $10 (discount from friend) which originally sells for $16.99 and I am loving it! I've had so many smartphones in the past and would always use a hard shell case because I hated the gel skin so much! My friend used a gel skin on her mytouch and after a couple of weeks it became so loose it would slip right out. The material was very thin and it stretched out not fitting the phone anymore. This particular gel skin is really thick and durable! It feels great holding it and has a good grip.



this is how much space there is when you slide in the phone to the top. this for sure shows that it is a good firm fit and will never fall out or get loose at all.




There are no cut outs for the power button and volume rocker because the skin has its own buttons for those and they actually feel better than the phones! its easier shutting off your screen and adjusting the volume.








as for the realook screen protector it is reallllly nice. wasnt too hard to put on and plus if you do mess up you can wash it and reapply again. screen still looks the same with it on and my gf didnt even notice it haha she thought i was lying! anyways i love this combo that i have right now and wont have to buy any accessories for a really long time.

Back to the Future FTW!

I think that's because (maybe) Samsung makes these? They look awfully similar in design to the other cases they have the Samsung Store.

I'm getting this one tomorrow as I wait for my mesh case.

It's a T-Mobile branded case, but I'm not sure if Samsung designed the cases for them? i could be wrong.


the gel cases from the Samsung website has a bigger cut out for the speaker than T-Mobile's version.

yep, i have it. we have very few options for cases right now, so i went with this. I like it for a gel case, but when a few more come out i may switch to a harder case. we will see, but for now its good

That's actually the Samsung case for the Captivate. Here's the one for the Vibrant.

Oh sorry didn't notice i chose the captivate haha thanks for the correction Maverick.

I'll see how well this goes for now and will probably get a hard shell case too only if this stretches out more in the future, but I'm happy with what i got.

I had the case when it came out and I think the quality of the case and protection is awesome BUT the Gel material picks up dust very easily. There are other Gel type cases that do not do this so if it's not a problem for you then this is an excellent case for you.

This is what I am stuck with for now. Six Tmo stores have been out of stock on the black gel case since the 19th, yesterday they all got 3 teal ones in stock so I bit the bullet and bought it because I need it. When the black ones come in I will exchange for it. Overall I love the feel of it and for some reason it makes the screen look bigger. Also ever time I look now it reminds me an iphone 3gs. I just hope they will make a make case or something that will hold it on my belt.

I am looking for a gel, silicone or plastic(not hard plastic) case that does not collect dust and will slip in a holster. Anyone know of a good one?

I also have the black gel case. LOVE it!!! dont see any reason to change it.
