And no I dont work for them, just wanted to pass on this great deal. It is 6 different color "X" style TPU cases, and 2 screen protectors for $16 shipped.
I ordered these on 4-10, and got them on 4-17. Just tested them all out and they fit, and look great. They fit better than this one that I had bought awhile back. It fits ok, but the buttons are very stiff. On this new 6 pack I bought the buttons feel much better, and I dont have to push real hard like the other.
There are 6 different colors here, black, white, clear, smoke, red, and my favorite pink (J/K!!). So far I really like the black one, but the smoke looks great too. I havent tested the screen protectors because I have a Zagg on my 7.7, but they look well made. Now I have extras just in case my Zagg fails (not likely)
If your looking for a TPU, and dont have a specific color this is a great deal. You can almost have a different color every day of the week.

Hi all, I know there aren't too many ATT specific cases out there yet, but I did want to do a quick review of the one that I ordered from TPU-cases (I got mine off ebay, but they have a regular site as well).
The one specifically I got was the Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case.
Overall, the case quality is solid -- compared to other TPU cases I've had in the past. It's solid enough to provide basic protection, but not too flexible (like silicon) that you have to worry about it stretching and losing its shape over time.
I opted for the matte black version, but I believe that there are other types to whatever fits your fancy. (I think the matte was/is so popular, it may be out of stock).
The other nice thing is that they throw in a free screen protector. It's a decent clear one (not anti-glare), which is my preference. It's not on par of the quality of let's say a Realook or a SGP, but for free, who's going to complain?
So on to the case review...
1. I've attached a few photos to show the overall fit of the case. It fits well, and doesn't add much thickness to the case at all (which is a huge plus for me).
2. There is a little bit of a "lip" on the front, so it you do place your phone face down on a table, it leaves enough gap to protect the screen (as opposed to laying completely flat).
3. There is a decent size cut out for the power button, but the volume rockers are actually covered. However, no functionality loss on the power buttons -- in fact I think they may actually make it easier to use.
4. There is a cutout for where a lanyard hole should be -- (aka the international version), but no biggie here.
5. On the bottom, standard cutouts for the microusb port and the primary mic.
6. For the back, nice cutouts for the camera and the speaker on the lower right.
Now for the million $$$ question -- is the top aligned correctly for the secondary noise cancellation mic???
Fortunately the answer is YES! I believe this case was originally made for the international version (evidence from the lanyard hole), but the designer -- either in a stroke of pure genius and foresight (or just plain laziness) made the top cutout for the mic large enough where it does not cover the off-center version of our mic. So it looks like it could accommodate either the international or ATT version of the SGSII. I've tried to get a close up of the top so that you can see what I am talking about.
Overall -- for a shade under $9 USD for a nice looking/fitting case and a screen protector - I would say it's a great deal.
As I mentioned earlier, unfortunately it looks like the matte version is out of stock, but the other versions should be just as good.

UPDATE: I didn't realize they also have an Amazon storefront, so it's available from several sources: http://goo.gl/ltQnW
I have the same exact case for my international sgs2. It's pretty good, though some micro usb cables don't work with it.
Edit: got mine from their amazon storefront.

Exact same case. Bought from Amazon for 10 bucks, prime shipping. Costly for tpu, but it had cuts for top mic as well. Fits perfectly.

I bought this along with the gloss black. I am using the gloss black as I think that it looks better (my opinion) as this matt one looks a little worn out of the box. This is only my opinion.
I was just checking out these cases on amazon and i wonder, is this the closest thing to the flexible TPU case that bodyglove made for the Captivate? It sounds like you may have had the same case for your previous phone, how does it compare?
For those who are wondering, this is the old case http://www.amazon.com/Body-Glove-Mirage-Samsung-Captivate/dp/B0040M7H96. If bodyglove made the same exact thing that fit the GS2 i would buy it in a heartbeat!
If these cases are the closest thing available i might just have to get one to see for myself. How do you like the case now that you've had it for a little while?

Actually I did have the BodyGlove case for my Captivate since it was one of the first decent cases to come out. I am not sure if you had this issue or not, but I have some scratches at the top of my phone (small ones though), but I do believe it was caused by the BodyGlove case (perhaps a little too rough on the inside).
But as for the overall material of the case -- yes, the BodyGlove case is also TPU, which is the same material. The only difference is the BodyGlove was solid black with some texturized ridges, and this case is matte black (but they also come in semi-transparent -- just comes down to your choice in visual aesthetics).
If you liked the material of the BodyGlove, then I think you'd be happy with this one as well.
i have this same case, its nice
Ditto, great case for the money. Switched to a mesh cover though as I find it's a bit sleeker, but keeping this as backup.
Love this case...
I bought this case for its really unique look. The picture I saw was for the black note but I knew it would look really awesome on my white note. The case is very thin hard plastic (not flexible at all even though the website states it is) with design of rain drops imbedded into the plastic, the water drops are actually raised up making the back have a strange texture and causing it to be super slippery. I was afraid to keep it on too long as I feared dropping it. It does not provide very much protection at all its more for show and scratch protection for the back, the gradient color from blue to clear makes it very nice looking. I found this one ebay but ended up buying from obostore for $7.99 with free shipping. It was shipped very fast too. I have provided pictures and link to store I bought it from. I would use it for scratch resistance only, I ended up not using it because of the above issues but it did look great! I still use my TPU case for better protection for the sides and screen of the device. There is no lip to protect the screen on this case and top and bottom sides are open. Buy it for the looks not the protection. I bought the blue one but it also available in black, yellow, pink and white. Also note that it comes with a screen protector but it is for the international version with the home button.

I'm planning to get the HTC One this week but the only problem is deciding which color to get! I played with both at the AT&T store and loved them both. I know it all comes down to which one I prefer more but I would like some input on the positives and negatives on both colors to weigh it out.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Isn't there already a thread on this? Lol
Anyways I think I would like to prefer silver because i feel like it would be harder to see scratches on it but black is just so sexy looking

Do we really need a thread just to convince you which color to get?

Sigh...
In my opinion, you can't go wrong with either. The silver pops more and has a more colorblocked appearance (as you have the black, silver and white hues) while the black is more uniform and sleek. The black can be a fingerprint magnet, but when I had the white, part of the white plastic band on the back started becoming very dirty with no way to clean it off, effectively staining it. YMMV.
Get the limited Zebra Edition.

Well like you said it comes down to personal preference, but I elected to go with the black and I love it.
Just get both I have the silver, and my black should be here any minute now and I'm just going to keep both. The One might actually be a phone that I hold on to until my next upgrade is due and then some (which is a miracle for me since in the past 2 1/2 years I've owned 9 different android phones)
edit: Black just came.. wow.. I love it. Like it more than the silver, but still love the silver as well, just love the black more. lol
IMO the black looks sleeker and sexier, the silver looks more classy/elegant

Are you serious? You must really love the phone.
If only I could customize it to have the silver backing and the black front. That would be sweet. Thanks for input guys!

I went with silver because the black one wasnt out yet. The black one would look better in some cases rather than the silver.
The black version is supposed to get scratched more easily, or at least, make scratches more visible from what I've read

I feel the same way! LOL
The white on the front is harder on my eyes than the black but I like the silver back.
I went black. It's much sexier. It doesn't stand out as much as the silver, but there is something abnormally sexy about an all black phone.

That's because the colors are just finishes over metal. If the black is scratched, you will notice the grey aluminum very easily. If the silver is scratched, you won't.
SILVER must be better.
It also depends on the case. Like today My Poetic Atmosphere case came today before my Black phone. It looks great on my Silver version. Like really nice. On the Black version it still looks nice, but looks MUCH nicer on the Silver. The Black looks better with my Gloss Black TPU and my Matte Black TPU case, Not so much with my frosted clear tpu case. I also have a black Icipio Frequency case coming I think will look awesome on the black version. I do like how a black lipped case looks on the silver. It gives it a nice contrast so black cases look nice on it as well.
I think I'm going to alternate between the two either every two weeks or once a month

I think you need to upgrade your devices in your sig to have a shiny new black HTC One
I've got the Black and my Wife the Sliver.
Both have cases on them so doesn't matter that much.
But if your going caseless then the silver feels a tad better to hold and it stands out in the crowd. I used the black for the past 3 days without a case and had NO issues with scratches or finger prints on the back. By new case just came and with a case it actually feels better to hold.
For every phone that I get, & I have had a lot of phones, I have always bought a Diztronic TPU case, But I always wondered about the Clear Diztronic, so for my Note 3 I though I'd give the Clear a shot.
http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Fro...d=1382227972&sr=8-2&keywords=diztronic+note+3
Pros: Proper cutouts like always
Buttons have awesome feedback & can be located without looking @ phone due to the buttons being raised
Case fits extremely snug
For those of you with a white Note 3, this case almost blends in with the phone
Even though I have only had the case for about 5 days, there has been no staining that some white or clear cases usually show
$1 cheaper than Diztronic TPU
Case has a lip around the camera to lift above table
Flash halo effect not present within my tests
Cons: None as of yet
All in all, I am glad I purchased this case. Looks & feels great on the Note 3.
Looks great! Thanks for the review!
The cases they make are just right, had one for my s3, and Note 2. The only problem with the clear ones, they tend to yellow according to use. Keep us posted and thanks.
I've got this case now and it's not too bad. It's just a bit slippery bc of the high gloss on the back but that's to be expected.
Although, I ordered a UAG case and I'm excited for that.
Great case, but the color or lack thereof rather, is really bad.
The black looks great, but the clear case makes it look like my phone's wearing a condom or in one rather.
A nice case. I used to buy these for my previous phones back in the days of the gsm/unlocked phones. I still love the look of the clear case and the case is under $10
Code on Amazon is SPIGEN60
It applies only to:
Spigen Thin Fit Slim Hard Case (Mint [amazon.com], Shimmery White [amazon.com], or Crystal Clear [amazon.com]) $4
Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case (Mint [amazon.com], Crystal Clear [amazon.com], Gunmetal [amazon.com] or Metal Slate [amazon.com]) $4.40
Spigen Wallet S Case w/ Stand Flip Cover [amazon.com] (Black) $6
Not sure how long it is going on for, it is just for a couple of their cases, but for $4-$6, who cares?
I guess I just missed it.
I forgot to put the promo code: SPIGEN60
Was literally 10 seconds away from completing my order of the slim fit and the ultra hybrid, and decided to check here for any deals. What are the chances its the two I wanted!
Thanks much man!
I feel like I should warn you: the "gunmetal" ultra hybrid is not even close to that color of silver on the actual case, it's more of a flat, darker gray.
That is the one I ordered, too. It will be here tomorrow. I like my Ringke Crystal one, I like the port covers. I wonder if my custom inserts for the Ringke will fit nicely into the Spigen. I've got the Halo screen protectors coming. I am not really a fan of the glass one I got from Japan. (Besides the fact it already broke; I sneezed while taking a picture). Biggest complaint was the fact that there is no silicone over the top of the front-facing camera, so after not even a day, dust was starting to accumulate under it. Boo.
Thanks for the heads up on the color, though. I think I may actually like it better if it is how you say it is.
