Anyone have any experience with a case from Ventev? I've never even heard of them, but looking at their site it seems they make a lot of products.
Anyways I found this http://www.tessco.com/products/displayProductInfo.do?sku=532148&eventPage=1.
Honestly never heard of them myself. The price looks like it may be on the high end for what it seems to be, but if it's good quality then it'd be worth it. If you get one, post back and let us know how it is. I have a cheap Ebay TPU case on the way for now but I'm keeping my eye out for a good one.
I havnt heard of that case series, im waiting for the Commuter Case by Otterbox.. Still hasnt been released.. :/

Have you received your TPU case? I ordered one yesterday but I got an email today from the vendor saying that they just found out they wouldn't fit AT&T phones and they refunded me. Now I'm not seeing any TPU ones on ebay.

I ordered mine off eBay 2 days ago and got the same message, he also gave me a full refund. Time to start saving pennies for an otterbox!

Thanks, I saw that. I've had 2 piece cases on my other phones in the past (incipio, body glove) and I actually prefer the cheap TPU ones best. The cheap TPU ebay/amazon ones (like this: http://tinyurl.com/ct4ktzd) are really low profile, slide in and out of the pocket easily, are flexible yet firm enough to absorb shock from reasonably high drops and only cost like $3. Hopefully someone comes out with one for the OG soon. I might buy one of those ones you linked to in the meantime.

I will be gone all week for work, so you will probably have yours first. Will look for your post.
Ventev Case
The case arrived and fits the AT&T LG Optimus G E970.
The case consists of 2 parts, a TPU case and a Polycarbonate back cover. The Polycarbonate back cover can be taken off and you can then just use the TPU case.
All buttons remain functional with the case even though the case covers them, and all of the ports and the camera remain functional and accessible.
I have no problem slipping in or taking the phone out of my pocket with the case on.
The case does add significant thickness and heft to the phone, but the case seems solid.
I should mention that I ordered the case from Amzer.com, but it looks identical, and has Ventev printed on the back Polycarbonate cover.

The notification light gets covered up unfortunately.
Here's some crappy pictures. Only complaint is the tpu rubber part fits really tight. It was hard to get in and lifted up the corner of the screen protected. But took it straight from mailbox and put on phone, so maybe I should have let it warm up.
Thanks for the pictures, folks. I'll probably go ahead and get the Ventev case for now until Otterbox comes out If it does, of course).
So, from what I see, the Amzer and Ventev cases are identical, except for the logo on the back?

Thanks for the order! I'm personally using our Smoke TPU cases (no pattern) and love it. I'm actually taking the Otterbox Commuter back. I love that you can see the HTC logo through it.

Nope TPU cases do not lose their shape
I'm not quite sure what the benefits of TPU are. I've done Googling, and I've read that they're more durable and hold their original form better. Is that the extent of it? Apologies for my ignorance, but I'm curious.
Also, how are they aesthetically?
I am also using a smoke grey one from tpu-cases.com. Looks great and works great but there are a few quirks.
First off its tight....so tight that you cannot get the case off the phone without ripping the battery cover off along with it also.
2nd The top camera hole (the one closer to the top of the phone doesn't line up perfect like the other camera hole. It doesn't block the camera by any means but it just doesn't line up right.
Great Case though...Far better then I thought it would be for me having the case about a month before the phone came out
Just ordered this one...it has a checker pattern but is nice

I ordered my smoke one from http://tpu-cases.com a couple of weeks ago. The only issue I have with it is that the power button is a bit difficult to get at. Not a big deal and I would think that it wouldn't effect most people the same, I have large hands.

Received the case linked above and couldn't be happier with it. Previously I used the HTC silicone rubber case for my EVO 4G followed by an Otterbox Commuter when it was available. Over time I was disappointed in both cases as the silicone rubber of both products stretched and I was always trying to "form" it around the phone. This TPU case slides easily out of my pocket and does not seem to grab lint. It also seems as if it is going to hold up very well. The cutout on the top camera is a little off, but does not impact the ability of the phone to take pictures, focus, etc. I too had planned on kicking the HTC branded kickstand case......but I think I would be happiest with a TPU case with a modded battery cover that had a kickstand with a TPU case over it with cutout added.

I have the TPU case, and that issue is a slight annoyance for me. These battery covers feel so flimsy as it is.

I think its a positive too, but it is hard to get the case off without pulling off the battery door too. It's just a weird battery door design I think. It's not a huge issue, but I did notice it as well. As for the top camera hole being 1mm off or so, we are fixing the mold and will have smoke, smoke argyle, and black with the correct positioning as early as next Friday. If you already ordered and you want one of the new ones when they come in just shoot me a PM and I'll get you on free of charge. As for the white, red, and green those ones are staying as is for the time being. It is just a cosmetic thing though, it doesn't block the camera at all. Sorry guys!
Any of you guys that ordered from me, if you have some free time I would be eternally grateful if you left product reviews for them on Amazon. Reviews really help sales tremendously.

Quick question about your cases. Any reason your cases cover the camera button, like for support reasons? It's harder to push the camera button down than I'd like, causing shaky pictures, but I cut a hole out for it. Just a thought for future updates.
I like the camera button covered....that button would eventually get sheared off by me if it wasn't covered. Ohh and I left amazon feedback ftw.
I bought the white and black case.. they don't look bad at all... I have to be patient because its coming from Hong Kong..
What do u guys think? I got them at eBay.. just put tpu hybrid case and they will show up.
Five cases plus screen protector for 9.95 on ebay.. here is the link,

Looks awesome but I dont think they are hybrids are they? It looks like just pure TPU with some texture on the sides. I've seen these "S Style" cases quite a few times recently.
Yeah, they are not hybrid cases. It's pure TPU. Since its a Chinese seller he probably doesn't understand the meaning of the word correctly. A hybrid would have a PC outline or rib cage, this has neither.
edit: maybe it does have PC? The right side certainly could be, or it could just be matte TPU. The reason I'm thinking its pure TPU is the description mentions nothing about PC, only TPU.

This is the description,
100% New TPU Gel Case Quantity: 1 Offer instant all around protection from scratches Constructed from smooth, treated rubber that resists dirt and stains TPU, also known as thermoplastic polyurethane, is more cut and tear resistance over rubber This gel case made from a special tough gel, which makes it flexible like a silicone but tougher than a crystal case Compared to silicone skins, this skin is stiffer to the touch, but remains flexible Unique design allows easy access to all buttons, controls & ports without having to remove the skin. Color:BLACK Material: TPU Rubber Accessory only, the cell phone is not included
I don't know much about tpu cases but they look awesome

I don't think its a one piece anymore. I initially did, but I'm pretty sure now the right side is PC and the left is TPU, which would make it a two piece.

From where?
I bought XtremeGuard protectors when they were 70% off (I got 2 of them @ $1.50/each). They are pretty good, and the same material as ArmorGuard and InvisiShield. If you are looking for low price, I would recommend them, but they do not cover underneath the center button (they have U-shaped cutouts, rather than holes). Good enough until I can get the InvisiShield on sale. I do like the feel and protection provided by the wet-apply protectors.
I also got "Black Candy Skin TPU Gel Case Cover For LG Optimus L9 P769 (T-Mobile)" from Amazon (was $1.29 + 2.94 S/H). The case is slim, and slips off easy enough, as well as slick enough to not get stuck in my pocket or pick up dirt. They do cover the buttons with indents in the thermo-poly-urethane. The volume buttons work pretty well, but the power button is a little harder to use. It works for now until they develop nicer cases for the phone.

From eBay. I can't post link because i'm noob here and forum doesn't allow me.
EDIT:
by the way, if you look for L9's screen protector / L9's case at eBay or AliBaba, you'll find it.
I got the Case today, I got this on ebay for $9.50 with free shipping and its called P769 3 in 1 Travelers hard case holster. there are 2 color available white and black with a rubberize finish on it, i got the white one for now.
I really like this case, at first i was thinking of not using the Holster because I just want a 1 piece hard back cover for the P769. but this case and holster works really well together so im going to use both. the holster can be also a landscape/portrait stand for the phone. the case slide to the holster smoothly both in and out and feel secured when they are attached together.
Pro:
Fits very well
Ports are well cut
Feels great to hold
Good build Quality
Good price
3in1
Cons
rubber Finish might chip soon
No other color
Holster clip is not that strong
Nice!
Do you have a picture of the clip?
Does the phone slide out or snap out?
p.s. This thread needs to be moved under accessories sub-forum.
Looks cool, what is that launcher you are using? or is it rooted
I got the EZguard Screen protector for $4 (4pcs) on ebay and its 100% GARBAGE!!!
The screen protector is already scratch up out of the envelope, installing instruction is somewhat not clear... I read somewhere that it supposed to be wet install but still its pure garbage i tried it. i still got 2 out of 4 screen protector.. well its $4 cant complain anymore.
Im going to get the Skinomi or IQ LIQuidskin on amazon later. they got good reviews so i think that should work.

I have this case. It does work well. The "kick stand" will prop the phone up in both landscape and portrait orientations.
The case does add a little bulk. It has a silicon/rubber soft layer that goes around the phone and a hard shell that wraps around that. Should provide good protection.

Since this case was close to what I wanted: A "clam shell" case for the phone to put in my pocket, I went ahead and bought it in black.
The clip came off very easily. Too, easily. I'd be afraid to let my phone dangle from my belt with that clip.
Anyway, as you pointed out, there was a "gear like circle" protruding from the case after the clip was taken off. I carefully removed it and made it flush with rest of the plastic with a dremel tool. I doesn't look too bad.
Bought this universal case with elastic edges for $14.99 from Target. Magnetic front clasp. Phone fits snugly, very comfortable to hold or wear in pocket-feels secure (feels cumbersome on belt). Added screen saver for L9 from T-Mobile for additional $16 (believe). Screen protector was well worth it to cut fingerprint grease.
bought 2 of these phones for my parents and was looking around for good quality cases. Just thought I'd share my findings :
1) For my mom : Tech21 White snap case for LG optimus L9 P769 (refer to T-Mobile Website, shows middle camera hole) :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/151027412771?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
2) For my dad : Body Glove case with stand (reviews in amazon are excellent)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/150992696200?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
The two companies also have several other cases available for P769 (middle camera hole version), just lookup Tech21 or Body Glove Optimus L9 case..hope that helps for members looking to find quality case for this *mid-range-and-obscure* phone. Phone's arriving tomorrow! Cant wait.
Cheers!
I'm sorry I didn't see this thread before (It didn't even show in search) so I made another... Mods, feel free to close my thread.
Anyway... Here's mine
IllumiShield 3 pack screen protectors - $7.65
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380614141569
My review: EXTREMELY well cut. Edge to edge protection done proper. Very easy to install. And they are actually antibubble.
Highly recommended. Ordered on a Monday, got them today (Thursday) - Ships from California
Future Armor Ballistic Case - $12.95
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281090273071?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
My review: VERY nice. Feels nice in the hands. Only adds about 1/8th inch all the way around. The seller is also very easy to work with. I had an issue with the case (rubber coating wasn't correct in one spot) and she immediately shipped a replacement.
Again, Highly recommended. Ordered on a Friday, got it on the following Monday - Ships from New York

The screen protector is already scratch up out of the envelope, installing instruction is somewhat not clear... I read somewhere that it supposed to be wet install but still its pure garbage i tried it. i still got 2 out of 4 screen protector.. well its $4 cant complain anymore.
Im going to get the Skinomi or IQ LIQuidskin on amazon later. they got good reviews so i think that should work.

I too ordered these first... And also had the exact same issues you do/did. Needless to say, I sent them this email (coped word for word) and was refunded. Then I order what's in my previous post above this one, and they are wonderful! Here's the email"
After receiving 6 of these screen protectors, I must say, they suck. I was expecting to keep a few as backups later on, but no... This item is so ****ily made that I used 5 of them to even get it close. I threw the 6th in the trash, because that's about the only thing it is good for. I have never had issues installing a screen protector. Its normally pretty straight forward and easy. Not this product. The moment the backing is pulled off, the static cling attracts every dust particle in the known universe before you can even line the damn thing up. Even after lining it up...FIVE TIMES, the things still weren't cut correctly. But, I guess you get what you pay for, so my bad.

I'm sorry I didn't see this thread before (It didn't even show in search) so I made another... Mods, feel free to close my thread.
Anyway... Here's mine
IllumiShield 3 pack screen protectors - $7.65
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380614141569
My review: EXTREMELY well cut. Edge to edge protection done proper. Very easy to install. And they are actually antibubble.
Highly recommended. Ordered on a Monday, got them today (Thursday) - Ships from California
Future Armor Ballistic Case - $12.95
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281090273071?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
My review: VERY nice. Feels nice in the hands. Only adds about 1/8th inch all the way around. The seller is also very easy to work with. I had an issue with the case (rubber coating wasn't correct in one spot) and she immediately shipped a replacement.
Again, Highly recommended. Ordered on a Friday, got it on the following Monday - Ships from New York

Ordered Bounce and Ultra-Crystal also. Only brand name case I could get before phone arrives.
Anyone have past experience with Bounce models?
I love the ultra-Crystal and Ultra-oleophobic from Spigen. Have used on all my phones since Captivate.
¢ via my interim device KFHD
I also ordered the Bounce case (it shipped today) and the crystal screen protectors. The Bounce case looked to be the best combination of value, looks, light weight, and protection. I'll report back on their performance once I've got everything (The screen protectors are the only item I've gotten so far)
I wonder how the buttons will work. I hope that the "feeling: that you are pressing the button remains..

My wife has a TPU for her HTC one and access to the buttons suck!
the bounce looks like a very light weight skin....no additional protection except the fact that it will help avoid getting your phone dinged!
I'm sure once the phone is officially out we'll be getting better cases...patience is not a virtue
OP, if you're looking at Spigen, I like the looks of this one...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DCIZJEY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5
Looks a little more classy than the one you linked (in my opinion)
Bah, they dropped the prices on the neo hybrid by $10. I'd have considered it at that price Oh well, the Bounce looks great. I'll know in a few days for sure
Spigen is really all over the road on their pricing. First the $1 promo on select items, then they jumped to $29.99, then $34.99, now down to $24.99 its fine to lower the price but they better fix the ones they charged and haven't shipped and perhaps fix those that just shipped as well. It would be good for customer relations.

Finally on their FB page they are saying if you want one to let them know. They are gauging interest, that what I read in the thread/poll about that case. Since they cannot commit to one I am looking at this instead http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSF2SSGT3K-DG Sedio Ledger with metal kickstand. Has magnetic closure and big S-View window. The price is right, I just wish they offered some better color options, but I might get the red/grey combo for some flash.

This looks phenomenal. Just wish it was a bit cheaper. For those who have used flip covers in the past how do you feel about them compared to regular cases? I just ordered the neo hybrid as my first note 3 case and currently have a Seidio active on my note 2 which I like(although it's a bit bulky). But I'm thinking about trying the above Seidio Ledger case when it is released. My biggest concern is it becoming a nuisance with the extra flap hanging around, especially when taking pictures or attempting to use with one hand. Thoughts? Experiences?
I had the Slim Armor View on the GS4 and I didn't find it intrusive at all, I simply flipped the cover back and used the phone as if it wasn't there. The Ledge from Seidio looks to be the same. Obviously when using the camera you won't want the cover folded back even if it does line up, the extra plastic in between the image and the lens will likely cause for crappy images.
Still its a small price to pay for full protection and a view window.

Thanks for the info. I will likely give the Ledger a shot when it releases
I got two SPIGEN Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Case Protective Slim Fit Dual Protection Cover for Galaxy Note III below for $2 lol I thought it wa a accident as they were priced so low. Then they went up to 24.99! I should of bought 10 lol
http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-Samsun...&qid=1380702218&sr=1-4&keywords=spigen+note+3
Received the Bounce from Spigen the other day and without phone inside it fits my Seidio Active holster from the Note 2 very well. The top half of the holster that the screen faces doesn't appear to be wide enough to protect it edge to edge, but sold my Note 2 on 8/31 so I cannot compare.
Yes, I am one of those that uses a holster. At work only though.
I am 6' 3" and 240lbs so I tell myself it doesn't look as obvious, but my wife and kids say otherwise

Seidio should have the Surface and holser friday . Have a couple hybrid Spigens now but I need my surface case and holster. I just don't want to pay the initial price. They will be half price in 6 months.

I have the bounce and it compliments the phone very well. And it looks classy to me. Gives me a good grip too. I am actually preferring it over my sview for now.
No doubt Xperia Z3 is a beautiful design and most of the owners are inclined to show its curves, shape and color (specially the copper version) to others. I have been looking for many transparent cases around from different brands. In order to check their reviews, I looked at the reviews for xperia z2 cases by all of them.
My findings: Cheaper options available like yousave are not as transparent as they claim. The gel and silicon based cases are not at all transparent. Most of the transparent cases are susceptible to scratches. I have read good reviews about the tough naked case by CaseMate but the case does not protect the front. Then there is Spigen's case (which is not yet available yet) which has good reviews but the side bumper is made of TPU which is not totally transparent and looks a cheap look. The best reviews I found was for Ringke Fusion case however one really bad thing i have read about it is that if the phone falls, the sides of the case scratch the color off the phone. The case claims to have shock absorption but I fail to understand how they claim it.
If anyone among you have used any case before, please guide and recommend and review.
I was looking for a transparent slim case like this, but I can't find any for the Z3 only the Z3c.

Mine was ordered on Oct. 2nd, the next day I received a Tracking Information, still today it just says Label created, when I finally could reach them they told me that they had production issues and was delayed, but the new shipping date was Oct. 24th then later another one called me (left a message earlier) and said that it was 27th, when I asked if it was the 24th or the 27th, he insisted that it was next monday, that of I wanted to keep the order they will offer me a 15% discount if not they could cancel it.
Due that I think that Ringke Fusion design is the best there is for our phones I kept it, I've been using the Fusion in my past 3 phones and are of great quality, honestly I don't know what happened to them this time as is the first time I have problems with them with an order or product.
i ordered this one, really like it...
http://shop.brando.com/Simplism-Ultra-Thin-Cover-Set-for-Sony-Xperia-Z3_p11839c1785d004.html
I ordered the Case-Mate Barely There case. It looks and feels OK, although protection is minimal as you'd expect. The cut out on the left is rather large as you can see, to allow the official dock to be used.
The case scratches rather easily. I marked the back by sliding my phone a few centimeters across the desk within an hour of using the case.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend it, due to how easily it scratches.
I'd be really interested to see if anyone handsome photos ofnthe Ringke Fusion case.

This case looked to be the best. It got really great reviews for the iphone 6+, hopefully this one is built as good. I ordered it from eBay, I hope it has a descent opening to use a magnetic charger. It should be in Thursday, to bad I don't have my phone yet to try it on.

The review left by the user wasn't too positive. I ordered this today on Amazon and cancelled it. :/
I finally got mine about 10 days ago, I really love it and to me it looks great, they thought of everything, it even fits the Dual Sim D6633, the left side flap fits perfectly on it, plus they thought of all the Magnetic chargers and even adapters out there so I kind of think that this is the most universal cover for our z3.
BUT, I left them a negative feedback on eBay simply because that's no way of working on the Customer service side, no responses to emails for weeks and after offering me a 15% discount if I kept the order active, I'm still waiting for them to rely to the email I sent dating yes and asking about how was I suppose to receive the credit.
EDIT: SOLD!!
Just purchased the Ringke Fusion Case, what sold it for me mostly was the cool headphone jack protection.
My previous phones have ended up getting pretty corroded in there. And after taking shots with the xperia Z3 in my pool yesterday, the headphones attached macro application, was causing the phone to go nuts as soon as water entered the jack slot.
Another nice thing which annoyed me with a similar case, is that the cutout for the lens and flash was not very big, causing horrid shots when the flash was used. This case looks to have a good space around that flash to hopefully avoid this issue.
Will keep you posted after it arrives

I have this case and I hated it from the moment I got it. It came with a round sticker in the back. By simply trying to remove it, the case got very badly scratched. I was furious. I keep my cases 100% clean and this piece of garbage got damaged by nothing and within 2 minutes of getting it out of the packaging. I was going to return it immediately, but the other cases I bought were even worse in other aspects.
This case covers all the buttons, the MicroSD/SIM card slot, and it has a plug for the audio port. The magnetic and USB ports are not covered. I had to cut the audio plug off because it was putting too much pressure on my earphones.
The lips in front of the case give the phone some protection; they're thick in my opinion. I feel this case will protect the phone in case of a drop. It's thicker than I'd like, but it's definitely not a "thick" case. The fit is not tight at all, so I believe it won't damage or displace screen protectors. It's not going to fall off the phone, but it's not difficult to put it on at all.
This is my daily driver because I haven't been able to find anything less bad. I was looking for an ultra thin, transparent case, but this one had great reviews all over the Internet.

True! When i got mine, i wondered why it's not as clear as I'd expected it. So i tried wiping it with my handkerchief to see if it's just some dirt or leftover adhesive from the protective film. To my shock, what i was wiping was a scratch already, and i made it even worse by rubbing it. Good thing i have the white z3 compact act so it's not too noticeable. But really disappointed with it's quality. I waited two months for this cause i live in the Philippines. Sigh. Rinke's Fusion case isn't as nice as it advertises.
UPDATE: apologies, there was a sticker on the rear panel. That's why it wasn't as clear and it easily "scratched". my phone looks okay now. Haha
You should take a look at http://aliexpress.com - it might takes 3-4 weeks to ship, but you will find literally a ton of transparent cases from 2$ (incl. shipping).
Got mine also from there - took 3.5 weeks.
