anyone else absolutely in love with flex gel cases or is it just me? i just bought an arguile clear flex gel case off ebay. I'm a big case hoarder for all the smart phones i've had. I've found flex gel cases to be the best for everyday, convenient use.
Also, now that i have a white phone, i feel it should be a crime to not go with a clear case and show off my phone rather than hide it's beauty. Anyways, anyone else having an open love affair with flex gel, or is it just me? if so, do you like your buttons with cutout access, or covered? i must know.
well lets see the case man any pics?

here are pictures of the case.
Here is the ebay link for the item:[ebay link removed]
Overall, I'm very happy with the case. It's thin, yet provides the protection I need. It also shows off enough of the pretty phone, with still having a style of its own.
Thanks for the pics...I wanted to see how the white looked with the white argyle...looks nice.

I love those cases! They are better than an otter box in my opinion. I just got a Sweet lookin matte black one off eBay for my amaze which sports some noticeable battle damage on its body... the look of the phone is totally different now. I also have the tpu case on my g2 and g2x. I swear by em !

I had a nice trident case for my EVO, but after a while it was just way too big. I'm female so my pants pockets are usually small. It's hard to fit one of those cases in one. That's why I absolutely love this material. No friction and relatively strong, without being too bulky.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
Yeah I agree. I love the case I have now (tpu case). But I'm a relatively big guy 6'3" so I don't think the added bulk would bother too much ?

The problem with these cases are (especially the cheapy ebay ones) is that they become yellow!!!
Because of the hot/warm battery under heavy usage causes them to become yellow. Otherwise the cases Do perform adequate protection.
I had a clear arguyle case like this on my galaxy s2 and that battery got way hotter while charging that this one. I only had it for a month but i didn't see a yellowish tint. I'm a case fiend so I'm sure in a few weeks ill need to buy a completely different color anyways. So at the price of 6 bucks, I don't mind. sorry for the constant replying. I'm awfully bored at work.

I'm on the verge of buying a case for my SGS2 but I don't know what I should look for. I banged up my captivate pretty bad (even dropped it in water and it worked!) and would like to keep this phone sexy but functional. I need a case that will fit into my jeans and can still hold onto one handedly and is easy to use all the buttons and Ports. I'm considering a kind of rubber one because I would possibly like the feel of it and won't slip out of my hands. Screen protecters I feel are a waste because I've never scratched my captivate screen and I put it through hell. What are your suggestions for cases? If you could post a link to the product it would be great. Thanks!

@BlakDye,
I have the $2.95 version of the tpu gel case from arena.gadget on the way. It was shipped on 10/28 so I should have it any day now. I currently have this case which I got as an incentive with my phone instead of a price match, but it is a little too bulky for me. If I like the tpu case, I'll be selling this one.

If they had that case hanging on the wall of an AT&T store I'm sure it would be $25.00!
and BTW it fits much better than the AGS case I bought when I got the phone.
nobody like pouch/holder，i dont think someone would using a case for long time.
i just use case with my phone for 1 month.
Now I know jivy has posted his opinion about this a few weeks back but has anyone else ordered the at&t version that has come out? What's your opinion? Compared to the pop case?

I have one and am quite happy with it. I did cut off the flaps covering the USB and headphone jacks as they drove me nuts.
just got mine, they have a new version with the flaps and holes in the right place. its perfect for me- not too much extra bulk, but lots of protection
Cool. Plan to order one. Thanks for your insights.

no problem. also nice that it comes with an OK screen protector, although I'll probably put a Zagg on mine anyway
Does anyone know of a holster that would work with this? I'm really a big fan of the protective covers over the ports as I work in a pretty dusty environment. I have a Seidio surface case and holsterthat I'm currently using, but it has no protection for the ports whatsoever.

I got my Commuter in today and I really like it. It's much sleeker than the Casemate Pop I bought when I got the phone (although I like the Pop, don't get me wrong).
I had Commuters on my 3GS and have one on my 4S as well, so I'm not new to this case, only new to the SGSII version. I like how it flows with the back of the phone (makes pulling it out of my pocket easier since the "hump" at the bottom is still there). I also like how it covers the top of the face...the iPhone version doesn't have that and I like the protection. And it works great with my cheap screen protector (although I'll probably put the Otterbox screen protector that came with it on).
This is definitely a great case for the SGSII since it's highly protective and doesn't add much bulk to the phone at all. The one reason I always go with the Commuter for my phones is the built-in port covers and these don't disappoint.
Highly recommended!
Got my Otterbox Commuter today in the mail as well. Loved it on my Captivate and love in on my SGSII. My favorite case by far.
Getting a ZAGG today as well. Love them too.

You're welcome. Glad I could help.
Got mine from:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120823457759?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Got it in 4 days.
I'm liking mine. The only gripe I have is that the rubber makes it not slide in and out of a front jeans pocket as easy, kinda sticks to the pocket material.
I just got mine. Seems nice except for the top rubber part doesn't lie flush on the phone. It's like the case is ever slightly too tall or too wide, and it could have been avoided if it were designed be symmetrical instead of having the extra material on the top of the phone.
For clarity, this is what I'm talking about: youtube.com/watch?v=KwNISYXJ3QI&t=3m49s
Kind of a bummer, but I doubt most people will care.
I just wish it had a holster like the defenders do. I love otterbox cases.
I've decided to find a different bumper as I don't really care for the one I have. So I'm looking for suggestions on bumpers that have the cut outs big enough around the mp3 jack and charging port so that the bumper doesn't have to be removed.
Thanks in advance

That's the one I ordered. It's not nearly as red as it looks in the picture. It's more of a burgandy or maroon red kinda color. I guess I didn't think about this but the clear backing on it looks pretty bad as it starts to get scratches.
Geez. 215 views and none of ya has a bumper that you can fit your mp3 jack and charging attachments into?

I wouldn't really call that a bumper...it's a full case. There are some threads here already that discuss different bumpers, and I don't think most of them need to have their ports enlarged. I have the Anymode bumper on order (should be here today), so I can let you know how that one works. But it costs twice as much as the one you bought.
Thanks, Budge. Am definately interested in your thoughts. I'm not really worried about cost.

What did you not like about your current back cover, and what is it that you're look more for?
Oh there's really nothing wrong with the back cover. Seems to scratch easy but no biggee. What I don't like is it's not really close to being red....more of a burgandy. And I don't like that the cut outs are too small.

I have the OtterBox Commuter. It is a lot slimmer than the Defender series but it still protects your phone really well. I've broken my case twice and contacted OtterBox and they sent me a replacement case twice. They have really good customer service. I know the case isn't the slimmest out there but it's the slimmest it gets with some good protection.

If you want really slim, go with the CaseMate Barely There! If you want really slim and a solid back(no cut-out for the kickstand), there are cases on ebay. They are very very similar to the Barely There case, they just don't have the kickstand cut-out, slightly better camera protection, AND only $6 shipped!! I bought one in white, and it just arrived today. First impression: Very nice case! I'll take a pic and post it in just a minute.

Here it is. Few angles to show that the top and bottom aren't covered, just the sides. Sides do come up enough so the screen will not touch if you set it face down though. Nice touch I think.

the incipio feather case also is slim but doesnt protect the top and bottom like the case-mate, but it does have the kickstand cutout. I have a small issue with mine not completely reaching the side with volume keys but it's insignificant... if you want pictures just let me know
You guys and your otter box lol .. that case is over priced and fall apart.. not to mention the phone is big enough and now your adding more bulk to it .. get the cruzerlite case.. its 12 bucks on amazon and fits like a glove.. I've dropped this phone so many times and not one scratch or bruise.. nice and thin.

The impact doesn't have to be in the kickstand area for this type of damage to occur. This area is the weakest point of the aluminum frame, so the phone is most likely to bend there. Only a rigid case protecting the front and the back edges of the phone would prevent it.

I have 3 of those. Bought the smoke grey, clear, and the red. These are very nice TPU cases! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a TPU case!! I also have the 2-piece Seidio case in white (with the holster), 2 Commuter cases (one in each color combination so I could make my own black/white Commuter) , matte clear TPU case, and the case I pictured a few posts back. So far, I prefer the one pictured in this thread and my black and white Commuter! Nice to have different options depending on what I'm doing! Main reason though, in all honesty, I'm just an accessory whore when it comes to my phones! Lol. I do this with every phone I buy, and only use some once before they collect dust in a drawer until I sell the phone a year later.

While you can put the Commuter in the Surface holster, it is too tight and far from ideal. If you already have the Surface holster and refuse to buy the Active holster, then it will get you by I suppose...but you should be planning to get the Active holster asap!

Here's what you're left with after using the white silicone and black plastic hard shell.You get the black silicone and pink plastic hard shell. I'm gonna put this on ebay, before too much longer I hope. I think this looks better, or at least just as good, than the pink/white case sold by Otterbox. I think Otterbox should let the customer decide what color silicone and what color hard plastic they want when ever placing an order. This would slow down their warehouse, or maybe just require them to hire one or two more warehouse employees, but would increase their sales I think.

I don't know who makes it, but day one of owning my DNA, I hit up the verizon store and bought a $20 soft silicone case because I KNEW I would drop my phone. And drop it I have and no damage whatsoever. I love it! It is small, the only issues I have with it are the charging port can be hard to get open (i pulled my charge tab off) and the power button is a tiny bit recessed in the case. Other than that, it has saved my phone from many of my clumsy mishaps and would definitely recommend it
Go to verizon wireless and search for "high gloss silicone cover for htc droid dna blue"
that is about as close as mine as it gets, mine is see through black/brown and on top where the power button is, it is a hole. seeing this case I might go buy that and give it a go.
Hope this helps
I use an Otterbox Commuter and the case isn't very thick and looks super slick in white.
I've been very happy with my Diztronic case. It's smooth without being slick, not too huge either. Strikes a balance between a slim profile and decent protection.
