I have this case. first of all I paid $22 for it and second, i didnt notice anything you mentioned on my phone...can you upload pics to show us?

Meh...I too have this case and none of the chipping. Pics would be great if you could.

you got ripped off. It's 20 bux

i want this case. how is the belt clip on it? does it work good? did you get it at your local tmobile store?

I don't own one of these cases, but I'd suggest you take a look at the two "knobs" that appear to be contacting the back of your case, and see if they either have sharp edges that are scratching or some type of glue/epoxy that might be reacting with and chipping your phone. As the battery door appears to be metallic in composition, your problem might be due to some type of chemical reaction.

Nah, it's definitely from the stand. I have that same case and I'm glad I clicked on this thread. Mine hasn't gotten there yet, but after reading this I noticed a tiny bit of rubbing. I'm gonna put a piece of tape over it. Thanks for the heads up.

No Problem
like i said i love this case we will see what body glove has to say tommrow and and btw i looked at my recipt and forgot that i bought somtimg else when i got it it was only 20 dollars sorry for the foul up

I bought this case before and from taking off a couple of times i now how scratches on the sides of my battery cover now... Stopped using this case after couple of days

Bought this case on launch day with the phone and dont have any damage from using the case.

Got a New Cover
Ok so after many customer service agents and long hold times i called body glove first then they gave me a number to call corporate after pretty much blowing me off asking for recipets they said they would send a claim form in the mail like any uses that anymore then i called t-mobile customer service which i do love because the people are so friendly and helpful they gave me the number to HTC which i called and got sent all over the place there (i still cant figure out why i had to call HTC about a body glove case that T-MO sold??) then i got tired of all of the running around and went to a local t-mo store the girl changed out my battery cover for a new one great i am so happy about that but what about the body case i asked she says if you do not have the recipet there's nothing i can do so i then asked just to trade it out and again no recipet no trade fine i said thank you and was very polite because she took care of my phone which is all i care about so the conclusion i have a good battery back but not new case guess ill just have to stick with that crappy rubber case that came with it till i can get my phone skinned over all im happy...

Please spread those periods of ellipsis throughout your post next time...jesus that was hard to read!

Thanks for providing your experience with this case. I was thinking of getting this one but after seeing this gonna have to think twice about it. So which case would be the most efficient?

Same here.

I thought it didn't scratch my phone either until about 2 days ago. The scratch is TINY but noticeable when looking for it.
But then again it seems it couldn't have been the case because its about 1/4 inch on top of the E in the SENSE part.
Doesn't bother me though since it's always in the case. If I get bored I'll polish it one day...

so your saying you will pay to damage your phone? Please give me an address and ill list my price to damage your phone and i'll put it in a case for you also

my wife and i both have this case, all good on our front. no scratches or such.

Just like everyone else,
I bought this case with the phone and never had a problem like you described. I rather like this case if only I didn't have to take it off every time I had to pull battery.

i bought this case from day one and not a single issue with it. I love it and if it wasn't for this case i would have a cracked screen on it(again). the one day i let my spouse use it to try it out was the day the phone fell and the screen cracked. I have dropped it from higher ground with the body glove case and phone was untouched but yet the day i don't have the case i drop it from knee high bench and screen cracks. wow. i trust and love this case. sorry to hear you guys are having this problem.

I have the EXACT same problem... I'm glad you went ahead and showed everyone. My problem is that I have 2 of the same case.... and I'm not in US for the next 3 months. So I figured I need to glue some sort of foam at the kickstand so it doesn't do it.

Placeholder

This is a placeholder for chat about Moto Defy accessories!

Well first thing, I wish there were epikcases for the defy. I sent a message to dcmugen and he said they'd check into it. Probably unnecessary, I know, but a bit of extra protection never hurts. $400 is $400...

gel case
All I want is a TPU gel case (not silicone), at moment I'm finding it very hard to find one here in the uk, the only one I can find on ebay is from the US and comes to about £10 (usually pay about £3 for them. I guess its just because its early days. The phone is rugged but the case is gonna get damaged if it accidently gets dropped, so for me these cases are a must. The amount of times I have dropped my hero with one of these on and it has just bounced is testimony!
As if by magic over night a load of these have appeared on ebay.co.uk - just bought a black and blue one for £1.99 each inc delivery. Just search "defy gel"

Plz post a few shots when you get them, I'd love to see how the Defy looks with a condom.
I've dropped mine 500 times so far, but never on concrete or anything like that. So far...

Stay Away from Ghost Armor...

Yesterday I happened to be in the local mall with my 1 week old Sprint SGT and the guys at Ghost Armor flagged me down to sell me their product.
After listening to the sales talk, I decided to go with the Carbon Fiber back cover normal clear front.
20 minutes later I return and see the guy finishing the install by using an exacto knife around the camera on the back of the Tab. He hands it to me and it looks like my 5 year old son cut this out with a set of children scissors. The straight edges are not straight, the corners are a series of three straight cuts and he cut the circles out for the camera AFTER it was on using an exacto knife.
I tell him Im not happy and he says he will do it again.
Come back 20 minutes later and its just as bad as the first time. He says that they do not have the pre-cut SGT kit in carbon fiber and that he will order one and call me in two weeks when he has it. I tell him this is unacceptable and I want a refund.
He refuses to give me a refund stating that custom work is not refundable. I am not sure how this is legal given they have you pay before even seeing the product. After about ten minutes of heated discussion I ask for their names so I can contact their corporate customer service and all three employees refuse to tell me their names.
I tell the most loud of the three that I would like him to call security thinking a rent-a-cop could at least compel them to give me their names. He goes completely off the handle, starts SCREAMING " SECURITY, SECURITY". About 2 minutes later the security guard shows up and panics because the Ghost Armor employee is swearing, waving his arms and circling the kiosk like a rabid rhino.
He calls the local police department...
They must have been in the mall because they arrived quicker than the security guard and explain to me that they cannot compel the employees to provide their names, and that they will make a record of the incident.
I was also stopped by another mall customer who said she had recorded the entire thing on her camera phone and that she would email me the video so I could use it against the employees if I chose to take them to small claims court.
Today I received the video and its incredible... Alot of what the employee was doing/saying I did not catch when it was actually happening.
Needless to say, I came home an peeled the carbon fiber sticker off and sure enough there are two sets of CUTS around each of the circles for the camera.
I am not sure if corporate will provide any assistance, but at this point I am displeased enough to take this as far as I can.

Oh man that suxs, I ordered a cheapo skin from ebay for $5. Still haven't recived it. It would be funny to see that video.

I'm pretty sure they are required to give you there first name and employment identification number.
I feel for you bro, hopefully they compensate and all goes well.
PS, I also would like to see the video..

This happened to me with my Samsung Omnia II prior to going to Europe for the summer. I stopped by their booth and they said they had the kit. I went to get some Euros from the currency exchange so I'd have some cash in Paris and came back to see my unit drying in a box. He removed it and I examined the fit. Sorry, nothing was right...I told him I wasn't happy and he said he couldn't refund as well...I took my phone, messaged Ghost Armor, they called him, and I got my money back for the product AND the labor (which is HIS money).

I had Ghost Armor installed ( full body ) for me 2 days ago for my Sensation and I love it. Have personally never felt a better screen protector.
No finger prints, no sluggishness when swiping the screen like the Zagg Shield and very thin. I cannot tell it is on the front screen.
Maybe it was just a bad install but they do a free redo within the first 7 days and after that its 5.00 for the front and 10.00 for back for life of phone.
Oakridge Mall Kiosk in San Jose if anyone cares.

My issue is not with the quality of the clear plastic, or even the quality of the carbon fiber material used. My issue is with the employees using scissors and exacto knives to carve up the material AND my phone/TAB.
Im sure if they had used a factory/pre/computer cut piece of material the end result would have been better.
If you wish to have some 18-22 year old with an exacto knife carving up your device, be my guest. But I would prefer to keep these people away from my property.

I had Ghost Armor on my hd2 and i really loved it. I guess for you its because of that employee not of Ghost Armor.
They put some unskilled employee on job with cheap labor price so that happened.
I am sure if u search online you will get customer service number to complain about them and company will find out who were they.

Can we see the video lol

They have a pattern specifc to the Galaxy Tab, My vendor did atleast.

If you saw the guy cutting it up why didn't you say something, besides you normally pay afterwards so why pay and not just tell him it looked like crap?
Thats like getting a bad haircut and leaving after paying even though you know you got jacked up.

Well, you are partially correct... They do have the pattern specific to the SGT. BUT they do not have the carbon fiber available. It is expected to be available in 2 weeks. Right now they only have the matte finish and standard clear finish.
Secondly, this particular kiosk requires payment IN ADVANCE.
Today I was contacted by Ghost Armor after sending in an email on Friday through their Web site. Ghost Armor listened to the story and forwarded my information to the company that actually owns the kiosk (they are franchises, and not owned or operated by Ghost Armor directly). The district manager called me at about 1pm and said he was on his was to the mall to speak to the employees. We discussed the details and I was told that I would receive a full refund, plus he would personally install the carbon fiber cover as soon as it is available.
I spoke to him again at 6pm and he had terminated both employees after speaking to them and to others who had seen what happened. It also seems that he has a slight "inventory problem" and that the employee was pocketing the money when people paid with cash.
The video will not be shown as I made an agreement with them to update this thread (it seems someone informed them of my post) with the updated information.
As I said before, I had no issue with the product. It seems to be a quality material that will offer the stated protection when installed properly. He also informed me that it was their company policy that the employees NEVER hand cut ANYTHING. If the kit is not in stock, they are to take the customers name and call them when it has arrived.
All things said, it just sounds like they had a couple minimum wage employees who were stealing from them and treating their customers poorly. As of this evening, they have made the necessary changes.

I work for a larger retail company and our names and our employee ids are on the top of the receipt.
I don't know if it is something they HAVE to give, but if does sound fishy to me. Sorry you had a bad experience, man.
Sent from my MIUIX.

I've never trusted mall kiosk employees to do ANYTHING right. It may have cost me extra but i taught myself how to install all my screen/back covers and protectors (yeah, ruined the first set on an old phone so i wound up buying the protector set twice) but ever since then it's easy.. and then there's no one else to blame if something gets hosed.

I'm with many people here on not trusting others with my expensive toys. I was going to suggest you contact the Better Business Bureau and file a complaint with the company, but very happy for you that everything seems to be settled. Except for the scratches left on your GT by the ijit people, of course.

Glad you got this resolved.
F those employees. At least they got their just deserts eh!

Maybe you should change the thread title to reflect how well Ghost Armour have handled this as it is a bit mis-leading now given you have had your issue resolved

My Nexus 7 Accessories Order :)

I got this case-
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0083P0MI4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
and this screen protector-
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EO263I/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01
They'll both be here Monday, which is when my Nexus 7 (16 GB) will be delivered too. I have and have had products from both Moko and ArmorShield, and both are excellent quality.

I think I'm going to buy that case. For $6.99, it will hold me over until a better one comes around. I don't like it for permanent use.
I do want a screen protector too, but I only want the non-spray self-sticking (static cling?) ones. I bought one of those for my wife's iPad and it worked great. I bought a spray-and-stick one for my SGT8.9, and it sucked (Zag).

Well, MoKo makes good stuff, it should last a while, I think they are just doing the deep discount to get in on the Nexus 7 frenzy. I agree on the Zagg's, I don't like them either, but ArmorShield, Skinomi and BodyGuardz are all good ones, they all make dry apply and wet apply. I usually go for dry apply on phones, like my Galaxy Note i717, but on bigger things like tablets the wet apply ones are easier to install and work with, at least for me. The ArmorShield's are really thin, don't yellow and are not sticky like the Zagg's, which is one reason why I dislike Zaggs too.

Just ordered that case as well. Can't beat that price with prime shipping.
Thanks for the post.

I ordered the case a few days ago and already got it. It's actually quite nice and more indicative of its real price and not the $7 I paid for it.

I ordered a moko one that has the magnetic sleep/wake function. Sort of a gamble because there is only one pic, but it looks like it can function as a stand as well.

Right on! I have been pretty impressed with their stuff, Skinomi's are a little sticky, and Zagg's are ultra sticky of course. With the ArmorShields, the little imperfections will settle out over the next couple of days, and if for some reason it goes crazy, they will just send you another set out.

I haven't checked my mail yet, lemme go see...
Update-Yep
Dear buyer:
Sorry for another intrusion but we just came across this report and
thought we have to share it with you:
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/White-Nexus-7-Case-Stain-Clean-Black-Nexus-7,16302.html
With the same porous plastic material, we are concerned that the black
back on the retail version could also be susceptible to dye to some
extend. It may be embarrassing but we have to admit that we did not
have this issue in mind when our fist batch of Nexus cases was made.
Although the case has NOT left any mark on neither of the white or
black Nexus 7 we have after a short period of normal use, we would
rather be overcautious and have more intensive tests done before we
can comfortably let you use the case, even as a temporary solution. We
definitely could not afford to have you as beta-testers on this issue
with your brand new tablets and would suggest you hold off using the
case until you get further confirmation from us or a replacement case,
hopefully within 5-7 days.You can be assured all our future shipments
will be fully compatible with Auto wake/sleep feature and free of any
staining problems guaranteed. You will get to choose any style you
prefer from our whole selection of Nexus cases as the free
replacement.
I understand most of you will get your Nexus 7 today and I am really
sorry to disappoint you with this message but please do excise caution
if you have to use something else on your Nexus. Again, I apologize
for the inconvenience and would appreciate your understanding and
patience in this process of getting the right protection for your
Neuxs. This is what we do and we will do it right for you.
Please also let us know if you have any comments or suggestions.Thanks, Jim
WOW, I don't think I've had such good customer service, at least not that I can remember! Most companies would be like "Oh, sorry about that case we sent you last month, it probably left marks allover your device,sorry, but we can't do anything".

I know, I'm shocked too. Question: you just ordered the one case in your OP, right?
I ask because I ordered TWO cases from this seller. The one you did, plus the $12.99 smart case they came out with on Sunday. I wanted to make sure that this email was about the first case, not the second one (or both).
I am really shocked that they would have gone so far to help their customers for something that cost $6.99 shipped. I was actually going to return that case, since I got the better one, but I think I'm going to keep it just out of support of the seller.

Yeah, just that one. I am really impressed too, it shouldn't be shocking to get that kind of customer service, but the world being like it is today it's surprising to get that level of service, I am definitely going to be doing more business with them in the future!

Is it Worth the extra money?

Hi all, I know both of these cases have been around this forum at some point, but I don't want to bring up a dead thread.
I'm just curious to owners that have either of these cases:
http://shop.portenzo.com/hardback-for-nexus/
And:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251139617...:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_11985wt_1037
I just want to know, is the eBay case good quality etc, I've heard good things about it.
Or is it worth the extra spend, and go all in for a portenzo case?
I love the portenzo cases especially how you can design it to represent you, but spending that much on a case is something I have never done. Is the build quality etc really that much better to warrant spending over 40$ on the portenzo?
The portenzo comes to 43+$ for me as the shipping is quite expensive due to me being in the UK.
THANKS IN ADVANCED !

I was happier with my $7 Amazon case then my $50 Portenzo case, so I would say its not worth the extra $$$

I've just taken delivery this morning of the case you've linked too on eBay from seller wedo-bestdeal.
Ordered Tuesday afternoon, came this morning. So good service.
As for the case, I'm happy with it!
It doesn't add too much more bulk to the tablet, folding the cover back turns the device on, as expected, and folding it right behind it, like you'd hold it whilst using it wth two hands, doesn't cause the tablet to sleep. I've read on a few posts that the magnets in some cases can be too strong and cause it to sleep by doing that.
I've folded the case to stand the tablet up, and to just have it at a gentle slope, both works well. It will jsut take a little time for the cover to be less stiff.
my only moan is that the case over laps, and curls underneath adding a little unavoidable bulk to it, but it's not much, and after playing with it, I can live without without a problem!
Get one, for £10, what's the worst that can happen?

I have that eBay case and it's just fine, it gives good protection and is hopefully hard wearing. I also have another case that I think is much nicer looking but isn't holding up living in my pocket all day.
Can't speak for the Portenzo from experience but from looking at it, it doesn't protect the N7 round the edges at all, that may not be a problem for you but it is for me.

anyone tried this one,well ive just ordered this one,will give a review once it arrives,probably monday

Cheers peeps, I'll buy the eBay one then.
Was just wondering whether the price difference offered much more protection etc.
But by the sounds of it the 10£ one from eBay is sufficient, plus it does look nice although the portenzo is BEAUTIFUL !

The ebay case is really good, you can't go wrong for that money.

I guess this is a unanimous decision, the eBay case is the winner.
Probably purchase later today, tomorow or next week. As I tend to put things off, as I only bought a case last week for it, BUT I HATE IT.
They sent me wrong colour, the case was different than in picture, the stitching was all over the place, the material was coming off etc etc.
But thats a different rant altogether, thanks for the answers people !
