I've had a Diztronic case for both my GNex and S3, so naturally I had to get one of these for the DNA as soon as it was available on Amazon. Diztronics are simple, full backing and side rubber bumpers. There's no screen protectors I like the pronounced power and volume buttons on this case. It makes them much easier to use. As always, the Diztronic gives a solid feel to the phone. It no longer feels like it's going to slip and fly out of my hand. The back has openings for the camera, flash, and speaker, but not for the notification light.
If you're a minimalistic case owner, get this. Great stuff for $15 (incl. shipping).

The only thing that bugs me about these cases is that they appear to over up the back notification light.
It does... I might drill a hole for the rear notification light on my diztronic

I also ordered this (http://www.amazon.com/EMPIRE-Black-.../B00A83TNBG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354352083), so the back notification light being covered doesn't bother me. It's obnoxiously priced at $4 (worth about 50 cents), but does the job well. And even though it says for DNA, it will work for any phone.

Right...shows you how much it's made specifically for the DNA...
I just received this case today (ordered from Amazon; $12.50 with free 2 day shipping and no tax). This is definitely one of the nicer TPU cases I've had. There's a nice soft-touch, rubberized kind of exterior with the gel/plastic interior. It certainly inspires confidence in being able to protect the phone from a rough fall. It doesn't bulk up the phone too much, either.
If anyone is still on the fence about a case, give this one a close consideration. (It's so cheap, what have you got to lose?).

Yes. There's no "sweet spot" that Qi emits from to cover up. Just throw it on the pad and it works.
i noticed one of the reviews on amazon stated the diztronic is going to make a revised version that addressed the back notification light.. anyone hear that?
Well, I had my first 2.5 foot drop today. I was 3/4 asleep plugging it on my dining room table when it slipped and flew out of my hands. It landed on its length-wide edge (the side with the volume buttons) and I caught it with my feet after it hit so it didn't tumble. While this is an ideal fall, I'm happy to report there's not a scratch or crack and the case looks like I just took it out of the box. Worth three times the $15 to me at this point.

I'm in your boat, i had one for my GNex and S3 too. i love their cases. i bought one last week and it's already waiting for my DNA when it comes in tomorrow.
Just a heads up this case suffers from the same problem main others do, which is it doesn't play well with earphones/headphones with a bigger jack. I had to cut mine so that my shures would plug in.
Damn didn't notice that

thanks
Just received my case, and while i normally don't like cases, this one feels great. even better than my old Gnex one. i think the materials they used are a step up from what they used before. The only issue i have as mentioned above, is that the volume cutout is a bit small. I assume other cases would have similarly sized cutouts so its not a big issue but i will probably be cutting mine so it can fit my larger jacks.

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 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 just thought I may as well post a little review on this case. I bought this case at the same AT&T Corp store that I bought my SGS II on Sunday.
This case has a very high quality feel to it. The fitment was incredibly tight though. This is likely because it is designed to fit both the international and AT&T SGS II devices. This should be obvious if you look at the fourth pic. It clearly shows openings for both the international and AT&T NC mic positions.
I have to be honest, I only chose this case because the Case-Mate and Ballistic options were far too bulky for my taste. This case provides enough protection, for me anyway, without adding too much bulk. I really wasn't too keen on the leather insert at first either.
In the last few days of use, I have come to really like this case. I even appreciate the leather insert. It provides a high-end feel to the case and provides for outstanding grip. The front lip barely covers the chrome bezel. I actually had to work the case to get it to completely wrap around the front of the device. The end result is a case that looks and feels like part of the phone.
At this point, I can say I highly recommend this case for anyone who doesn't need a bulky case (although they provide more protection), and who also wants something more than just a gel cover.

Thanks for this review! I am looking for something less bulky than the case-mate. I'll have to check this out when I stop in my local ATT store. How much they selling them for?
I believe it was the usual rip-off price of $35. However, they give me 20% off on accessories at this store (frequent shopper there LOL). I am sure there are better deals, but I did not want to take a chance of messing up my phone before finding a case elsewhere. I paid full retail price so a few extra bones wasn't that big of a deal.
I was planning to return it, but I can't find anything similar online. If I find it online cheaper, I will buy it and return this one for sure. Either way, I am happy enough as it is.
I just bought this case today. I love it! Its like a mix between a hard case and tpu. If you had the bodyglove case on your captivate, you'll love this case. I like the look of the leather back, as I think it adds some class. This case doesn't add that much bulk either.
That was my first choice but the store rep couldn't get it to fit properly so I went with the ballistic even In this case the phone feels tiny in my Herman Munster hands after the infuse in a ballistic case I love this phone just gotta adjust to it

I also got this case. I like it a lot, it keeps the same of the phone without adding much bulk at all!
I got this case for my AT&T Galaxy S2 on launch day and I LOVE it. The Ballistics were just ridiculous. As far as getting the case on goes, I couldn't get it to fit at first but if you put it in bottom only, completely lip it; then top, completely lip it; then work the sides, it will always fit perfectly. Sometimes I feel like Gollum caressing my precious Ring with this baby.
Picked up this case today and absolutely love it. It doesn't add much weight to the phone and i feel it still keeps it slimness. As far as fitment goes. It does fit damn tight. I put it on the best I could at the store. I squeezed the sides to get the lip to go over but never could get the bottom corners to cover properly. Once I got home, I took it back out, then put it back on in reverse. This did the trick and it went on a lot easier.
I'm probably going to end up buying this case ASAP... I was interested in it for a while, but was afraid that it may have been too bulky.
Thanks for the feedback guys!

I just picked this case up from the AT&T store today. I have to say, it isn't a bad case but it adds a little bulk to the phone. I have another case coming in from Amazon tomorrow so we will see which one is better. I am not really a fan of the buttons being covered though since it makes it a little harder to press. I can already tell that this case will offer a lot of protection to any standard drop.
This is a great case!! been having it since Monday.
One thing to note is that if you are getting a discount on your cell phone plan you should also get that same discount on any accessories that you buy from AT&T.
I too chose this case with my purchase. it was the best of the lot,but I cannot keep this case. it just does not fit. I get 50% accessories on my plan. I went back to a store (not the one I got it from) thinking that they might have others. When I told the rep about the fit she said they are having returns for the same reasons. Found one that seem better on ebay waiting for it to come in. In the mean time I will kee this case to protect my baby, but will return within 30 days.
On another note anyone got the ivisor AG screen protector? not sure i am liking it. It seem to make my screen dim because of the non-glare, cant seem to find any good one on the net, they all seem to be for the international version. things are new so I will wait a bit.

What problems are you having with fitment? While it does take a little bit to get it on right, it should still fit. I had problems with the bottom corners until I took it out then put in back on, starting on the opposite end.

The one I ordered and received from Amazon covers only the volume u/d buttons and has a cutout for the sleep/power button. I can press the power button just fine. I like this case better than the AGF from AT&T. It doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone and was almost 1/3 the price so I will return it after work.

That one doesn't look bad. I see they made a large cut out where the power button goes. Don't really care for that big cutout but to each his own. Mine has actually become a lot easier over the last day or so. I guess the compound loosens up over time.
Just got my GS2 today and bought this case at the same time. I wanted something sleek after a Ballistic case on my Infuse and this seemed perfect.
As others have stated it's a tight fit. The sales rep couldn't get it on completely so I had to play with it myself. Another post stated putting bottom and top on first. I had better luck with the sides first. Maybe it is just loosening up after trying 2-3 times to get it on.
The volume and power buttons being covered are going to take getting used to as it takes a good press to work them.
To sum up, love the case so far. Seems to be good quality and good protection.
I tried this case on yesterday and did not like the fit. The ATT store only had one so I am going to try a few more to see if they fit better. It was tight and I couldn't keep the lip over the edges all the way around no matter how hard I tried.

Thank you.
My NT is with a friend in US, expecting it in a fortnight. I am ordering this on eBay tonight.
The case seems to fit well, but muffles the sound by a significant level. The skin you can put on it is somewhat cheesy, but hey, the wife liked it. Screen protector is what you'd expect; I had a lot of bubbles applying it, but thats user fail, not the product's fault. For the price I paid, it was great.
I would consider paying more for a case that included some folding prop-up feature. Also, if there's a way to get a case that doesn't muffle the sound quite so much, that too would be great. Other than that, I cant imagine paying more for a regular case.

I received the same 3pc kit... the only thing I use is the cover. The skin doesn't interest me, nor did the screen guard. (Reports say it blurs and dims things a bit, but make the fingers glide better.)
The cover is quite good. Fits well, closes well, and does make me feel my nook is protected. The knocks against it are the muffled sound (no big deal to me), the upper straps interfering with the power and volume buttons. This one is an issue, for volume anyway, but I just don't use the upper right hand strap (where the volume is) and it still seems to hold tight.
My cover is synthetic leather, and the whole kit and kaboodle was $18 with shipping. The price is fair and I would buy again.
Mine is supposed to be delivered on Tuesday. Bought it at Amazon for 18.99$ free shipping.
I have a cover that I bought in May for my Nook Color that I have now put on my Nook Tablet til I get something with a prop up stand or something like that. It fits better on my NT, and like mentioned above, I just leave the upper right hand strap off so it doesn't interfere with my volume button. Seems to still hold just fine that way. I like it, especially since I only paid $13 on Amazon for it!!
I hate screen protectors.
Just saying.
Ive bought this! I van testify that the case is well worth it and i would pay this price for just the case. It fits easily and nicely but the straps that hold the nook in cover both the power and volume up/down buttons and can sometimes actually press the buttons down. Leather feels nice and the magnet lock works well. I cant testify to the skin because i didnt use it (yet) and as for the screen protector i cant testify either because i already had a screen protector on.
Overall a good deal for the price.
Id recommend it.

Well, I have been in depth testing this case for the past month and a half, spending time with it off the phone and on. For those of you who don't want to read a long review and just want the verdict, here it is: THIS CASE IS AMAZING!!!
I was given the opportunity to review one of the Cruzer Lite TPU cases for our Rezound, and I am in love. I have never used a TPU case before, but I know I will be again in the future. In my review, I will cover 2 main points: Design, and Protection. Please excuse me as I do not have any pictures at this time, as I am traveling and took this opportunity to see how the phone feels without the case.
1. Design:
This case has a very good design. It is very thin, and it has generous cutouts for the power button and headset jack. My only problem with the case so far is that the volume buttons are a little difficult to press. The case feels very good in the hand, and feels much like a hard silicone case. It does not slip, does not attract lint or dust, and fits the phone perfectly. It adds minimal thickness to the phone, and comes in many cool colors. The color that I was given to review is the red version with the little Android logos printed on the back. The case looks and feels very sturdy and durable.
GRADE: 9/10 (Volume buttons can be a bit of a hassle, but you can easily cut that area out with an xacto knife.)
2. Protection:
This case offers serious protection. I would put it on the levels of the Otterbox and Speck series of cases. I constantly drop my phone, and the Cruzer Lite case has always protected the phone from receiving physical damage or damage to the internal parts (I hope ). The case itself also receives little to no damage.
GRADE: 10/10
So, to review:
Design grade: 9/10. Awesome looking case and feels great. Only took off the point because the volume buttons are a bit difficult to press
Protection grade: 10/10. This case offers maximum protection while providing minimal thinness to the device.
TOTAL GRADE: 9.5/10
Solid case. Great price. Great look and feel. Great protection.
I will upload some pictures when I get home from KC on Friday.
Have fun guys
I would agree 100% with this review. I have the same case (different color) and I absolutely love it. Can't beat the value either. My only gripe was the volume buttons much like you said. I cut mine out with an xacto knife and wasnt happy with the outcome so I ordered another case and plan to leave the volume area alone. I have yet to drop my phone (fingers crossed) so I can't vouch for the protection, but everything else about the case is amazing. Great product.
Great review
def awesome cases; i push them with every phone i sell at the store..people love the little android design on them
my daily driver for weeks has been the dark blue with androids on the back. LOVE it. just wish the volume buttons were less of a hassle !

Speaking of new designs, I've got two regular Rezound cases, but I just bought the extended battery, and they don't fit anymore. Any chance you're planning on making extended cases?

Just checked out the post and saw you were making a new mold for the Gnex. That design looks awesome! I will definitely order one if you make them for the Rezound. Thanks again for the awesome case Joelmic!
Where do I see this mold?

JOEL, that is AWESOME! make those for the rezound, and i'm sure we will love them. i'll def buy one to show matt if you do make them for the rezound.
maybe we can work out those volume-button kinks *maybe completely remove them like the power button, with enough room to get your thumb in there to turn it up/down*
Not a big fan of phone cases because I want my phone to be as small as possible..... But I'm very impressed! I could rock one of those for sure! How much?

After finding out about Brando screen protectors after reading a thread here on XDA, I decided to see what other accessories they had for the 7.7. And they had a couple cases in different colors that looked worth a try. Ive been wanting one that snapped on and only covered the edges and not any of the screen itself because sometimes they will cause a screen protector to peel, and I found this. It comes in 4 colors. I ordered the "ice" color which is basically clear because I wanted to still be able to see the silver back. And since it was only $10 I decided to pick up this one too, also in the ICE color. So anyway Ill write some short reviews about them when I get them. It takes 7-10 days from Hong Kong. Heres a couple pics also.
Just ordered 2, these look awesome! Thanks for posting, I'll post pics when I get them.

I got a similar one, with an X in the back. It works, but it increases the size a bit (not so much thickness though, but the length x height), without adding much value (like a stand or wallet pockets or whatever). And it's kind of slippery in your hands, but not so much in your pocket.
It does protect the tab more than the OEM book case, but the Book Case looks better, it's more portable, it's a stand and slips into your pocket easier, while not being slipery in your hands when folded. Protection is just against scratches though.
The worst thing about the case like this is the power button. It's kind of hard to press on/off and sometimes I turn off the tablet trying...very annoying.

Yea, I will most likely be using the snap on most of the time.
UPDATE: Ive received the cases and will write a short review with pics.
Ill start with the snap on case. First thing I noticed that there were 2 spots that had what I would call a stress mark. You know the whitish look that plastic gets when its been bent and is close to breaking? (see pics) This was right out of the package. And it had a scratch along the back as well. Very cheaply made. But it does fit, and fits pretty good. But compared to the TPU type it just doesnt look good, so that one will be shelved. No point in returning it. Comes in Blue, Pink, Black, and ice (clear) I dont recommend this case.
The "ice" colored clear TPU style "X" case is awesome. Its made very well and fits perfect. Since its clear the silver of the tab shows through and looks great. All the ports are cut out well, and it has a very nice grip feel to it. Which of course is a great thing to have on a nearly $600 tablet. My only complaint is one that happens with most of these style cases, and that is that it makes the buttons stiff, and less responsive. They work, but require a lot more force to register. Other than that if you want a case that protects, and still shows the awesome silver back of the 7.7, I do recommend this case, and I prefer the ice colored one. (clear) It does come in red also.
I had also ordered this sleeve . I knew there was a chance it might not fit, but based on the measurements I knew it would be close. Well it didnt fit. It was only $7.45 shipped so no biggie. Ill give it to my mother in law that has the first edition 7" galaxy tab.
I just checked their site (brando), and they have a new case choice that looks like it might be good. Its a snap on type, but is rubber backed rather than the hard plastic. Comes in Colors: Black, White, Blue, Pink, and Red. I might order one, but I learned from my last order to expect at least 16 days for shipping.
Anyway thats all and heres some pics.
Now that you have had the clear back cover for a few days, how is it holding up specially around the buttons and sim/SD slot? I ordered a similar one from an eBay seller in china and it has fallen apart those two areas. This was within 2 day of first use, I had not dropped it so was very upset about it. I did pay $4 for it so i guess I shouldn't complain.

I dont even use it. Already collecting dust. I use the X case sometimes, but love the poetic case and use it the most. Looks great, protects great, and has multi stand angles. Highly recommend.
