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?

is the case i just purchased. it hasn't come in yet, so i cant really show pictures of it. i have pics of the same case on my samsung galaxy s2. i was more concerned with everyone else's opinions on flex gel, and if they feel bad covering up their beautiful phone.

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.

it's very crystally looking to me. you'll get compliments, i guarantee it.
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 !

Body glove makes a clear one....do an Amazon search for HTC Amaze TPU Case. Body Glove should come up as one of the options.

Nice! I have one similar to this also. I just ordered a trident case a few days ago though. I couldn't resist aha
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
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.

Just ordered one. I have been debating about getting one or not, and finally decided to go for it. I have not had a TPU case since my old blackberry curve 8900
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

Got a link to the bumper you have, so folks don't recommend what you've already got
http://www.ebay.com/itm/400281491137?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
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 just ordered this for our 2 brand new Notes.
It was cheap enough to take a chance. A few reviews exist for other Galaxy phones, with negative effects on NFC (not a prob for the Note) but otherwise not bad. I liked the brushed metal look, though I suspect the "metal" is not truly metal , probably a metallic sticker.

Black and copper (they call it brown). If I like them enough I may get a silver one also. For $7 shipped I don't mind a having a few. I kinda expect them to be a little cheesy
If you like the metals here is another aluminum option that a user here found.
I actually went on a case/cover buying spree last night, getting these and several other options for my fiancee as presents (gotta keep 'em happy!) since I talked her into a white Note yesterday. Should have 4 different styles on the way.

Are they actually metal or a metallic sticker? Fit well? Reception issues?
Could you post a pic of it on your note?
Those look great. I ordered two a Silver one for me and a Pink one for a friend.

this looks nice but the back looks raised up and not as smooth flowing as ours.
Will this fit on the i717? Some people have reported that the n7000 case wont fit on the i717.

I purchased a carbon fiber back for my i717 and the tabs are in different spots. They can be clipped with a nail clipper but it still wasn't worth it since it doesn't fit great

Please give us a review of it when you get it. I don't know why so many of these TPU cases have that "S" line on the back. I think it looks cleaner without it.
They are also showing up on Amazon too.

Let me know if you get them. You wouldn't believe how many things I ordered on eBay from China that never came. They were all really good about refunds though.

Thanks! But I'm actually waiting for a white or colored one. I have dark pockets ranging from either purses or jacket pockets. Would really like to be able to see my phone instantly. This is the style I want, though.
Edit: It seems this style actually has different colors. Is it possible to find just the case rather than with the chargers? I live downtown without a car so it isn't really needed.
Edit2: xD; Nevermind, colored cases are for Sprint version.
I dislike silicone because they attract so much dust and lint. But I still ordered one because I don't like my phone being "naked" and there isn't a tpu case out that I like.
I emailed diztronic and they told me that they will have one out in a few weeks. Link is below.

I spoke to the guy a week ago. He said he raised the price so no one orders it cause it doesn't actually fit. He also said when he does get some in stock that fit all he has to do is lower the price.

I've had a bunch of those rubberized plastic snap cases before for my old phone. Most of them were pretty bad quality. I'd stay away from the cheap ones on Ebay because they don't get reviewed by users and you can't tell if they are quality or not.
Noted bbz, thanks.
The lip all the way around isn't quite right. By this I mean stuff gets stuck in it and I have to remove it to clean the crevices.
Anyone have a better case than the Diztronic they recommend?
I like protection but hate bulk.

Trojan? But seriously, without that lint/crud catching lip around it, you'd scratch your screen when you set the phone face down. It's a trade off I'm willing to deal with, I suppose.

I love my cruzerlite with the android logo on the back. It's super svelt and you can see the notification light on the power button. I got the smokey gray one. Perfect fit, feels great, no problems in/out of pocket, good price ($15 range).

Thanks I'll take a look at the cruzerlite, I've been meaning to.
I've had my eye on the cruzerlite one too but I tried a cheapo hard case first (which is ok but I'm not in love with it). I will have to try it out based on your recommendation!
I have the red cruzerlite and really like it. Fits nice and tight all cutouts are good and line up nicely.

I've got both case and I find the Diztronic to fit much, much better and just is of much better quality. The Cruzerlite does fell much slimmer, though it seems to have a bit of sag on the top & bottom edges and the sides seem to give more if brushed against when swiping & such.

Thanks Janky. I just ordered 3 and I'm excited as hell to get them. Teal, Clear, and Smoke.
To anyone who wants to/hasn't ordered these Cruzerlite cases, Amazon has them as their on sale price ($12.90) in addition to buying 2 and getting 1 free with another addition of free shipping (5-8 business days though...).

I was so excited to get the clear one, but the damn thing leaves air pockets on the back and makes it look hideous instead of showing off its beauty, I was pretty disappointed with it ha
Its because of the case material and our phone being glass. Its just sticking is all. How often do you look at the back of your phone?

I got the diztronic just to hold me over until I found one I actually wanted but when I got it I realized I actually really like it. Fits like a glove and I can hardly tell its on from the front. Plus I like the soft tpu feel.
I just got my Diztronic in today, loving how slim it is, and I doubt the TPU will break in half on the weak part just from plugging/unplugging the charger like the surround case I had.
That said, I'm not looking forward to finding out what happens when my clumsy *** lets it slip out of my hands...

I have almost every color because I absolutely love the Cruzerlite cases & this way I can switch out to whatever color strikes me at the moment. I find the ribbing along the side to be a fantastic perk because this enables grasping the phone much easier plus the cases just look awesome.
Meant to add that I also have the Diztronic case & also like that one quite well.

The back of this phone does look really nice. Until a spec of dust drops on it from 1/2 inch and it shatters or you go outside and its 2 degrees colder then it was in your house and it splinters like a spiderweb.
