EDIT; I am placing all of the pics I've posted in this thread below and removing them from later posts. This needed cleaned up plus it should make it easier for people to get a better idea of how they look when you get more than one and trade out the parts. More colors and pictures in the next few days...

I just got one of these and so far I have to say that I am impressed. The plugs that fit the earphone jack and the hdmi/micro usb ports fit remarkably well. I think that I would like it more if the colored plastic piece were a little less slippery. But it is the 'rubberized' plastic so it isn't that bad.

Another EDIT; After owning this for a few months I have to say that the plastic hasn't turned out to be that slippery at all. Just about right for staying on the dash (ish) and getting it in and out of my pocket. And I've decided it is more of a 9/10 to me. And for 10 to 12 bucks shipped, what's not to like.

Thanks garrett_tx for this Amazon link.



Thanks goto Obartuckc for this photo...


I have this case as well--white under with black gray outside--and love it. I've had it bout 2 weeks now and it's holding up quite nicely. =)







(Thanks to my Wife for holding the phones for me.)

Awesome, thanks for the review. I was just looking at this case maybe like 2 days ago.

Could you answer a couple of questions? -

- how good is it in protecting the phone if i drop it for example?
- how much thicker does it make the phone look?
- is it possible that the part of the case which "clips on" on the front of the phone can leave scratches?
- does it come with a screen protector?

THANKS! :cool:

Edit; Pics moved to original post.

- how good is it in protecting the phone if i drop it for example?

Not sure. Haven't dropped it yet. But as you can see it is a two piece case.
The corners are doubled up with both the plastic and silicone. So I expect the case to take the hit, and not the phone.

- how much thicker does it make the phone look?

Not much.

- is it possible that the part of the case which "clips on" on the front of the phone can leave scratches?

The silicone is between the outer case and the phone, so not a problem.

- does it come with a screen protector?

Nope.

On a side note. I am ordering another one, maybe two. I like the fact that the pieces can be mixed and matched.

Also, It is a little more difficult to use with the docks because of the flap, but not impossible.

Hope that helps.

Interesting. Does the silicone case feel good without the hard part?
I removed the hard part and messed with it a little. I guess it feels ok. Without the molded plastic the silicon part is pretty loose. The sides are extra loose. The ends seem ok at best. I don't think that it would just fall off or anything while holding it. But going in and out of a pocket might be a drag.

thanks I think I will buy one on amazon, price seems more interesting
Yeah, the price looks good there too. I don't have Amazon Prime so the shipping would add 3 bucks to the total. Makes it around a dollar more than the ebay price for me. Another example of why I really need to kick Netflix and get Prime...

just got this case ordered today cant wait to get it it looks nice
You'll like it unless you are docking the phone constantly. It will dock, just not very well. I don't dock mine much so it isn't an issue. I ended up getting the black/red and the red/black cases. Now I can mix and match, and have a totally red or black case or leave them as they are. I really dig it all red or all black tho.

I got an outterbox... was actually disappointed in it. I dropped my phone from about 5 feet, bobbled it till it dropped, and it ended up landing on the top side. I picked it up and saw no physical damage, but the digitizer was not responding toward the top. The notification still works, but just underneath it to about a half inch below all the way across doesn't work. Screw you outterbox!
