Ebay TPU Smoked Case

I have bought the Dark Smoke TPU case for the Droid Incredible. I am very Pleased with this case. I had came from a Silicone Case with very bad experiences.
PROS
Lightweight
Doesn't stick to pocket
Nice design
Cons
Attracts scratches easy

I just got my TPU case in the mail yesterday, black with smoked back. Here's my take on it:
I already had one of those black silicone hard rubber-ish feeling cases on my phone and I liked it, but it had kind of a honeycome back and I couldn't see the back of the phone like the words HTC and my little droid eating an apple sticker, so I bought a TPU smoked case.
I like how I can see through the smoke
I like how the rubber-ish silicone part of the TPU case is just like my old case
I don't like how the buttons on the case take more pressing than my old case did to activate the phone's button underneath. My old case had little indents underneath the case buttons so it made pressing the buttons easier.
The hybrid smoked backing does scratch easy. So far I have one day of use on it, and already I'm getting typical scuffs and scratches all over it
I'm thinking my old case offers a little more protection than this new TPU case
I like the price of the TPU case, set my back 6 bucks shipped
I like how it fits like a glove
I like the hard backing idea they have and being able to see through the smoke
Overall, I'd buy another TPU case if need be, but if they start offering my old case with a non-honeycome more see-through backing, although not a completely hard backing like the TPU case, I'd buy one of those first.

pictures??

sure just gotta charge my camera and I'll post a couple. I gotta say, taking a picture of the incredible...without using the incredible...presented me with a slight problem for a moment haha.

Any pics yet?

I've ordered from that seller before. The transaction went smooth.
That case looks nice. It doesn't have the bubble texture the vzm case has.

I've had it for a long time. Only thing I don't like is that its harder to put on/off than silicone. Doesn't add much bulk and liking the fact that you see through the back

cool thanks for the pics

Ordering one of these to modify for use with the 2150 mAh extended battery. I'll post pics of my mod when I'm done. Thanks for the review, this thing is dirt cheap and still hard plastic. Stoked.

I'm thinking of a new option since the silicone sticks in the pocket and attracts the lint too xD if I can find a case like this cheap then I'm sold

I have one of these and it didnt get along with my Zagg screen protector edges. So I left the case off. The screen is worth more than the case.

I ordered the same case, but was white, and I hated it, to install, or remove it, the phone has to "give" just a little, also the front sides of the phone's touch screen are hard to get to and you have to push the case out of the way. Also found power/lock buttons, and volume buttons were hard to press. I ordered another that looks just like it, but has no hard plastic, and i love it!
Also, I bought the case for 7.95 free shipping off ebay, they have the black case, and the clear case for under 7

Note II - Rubber/Plastic Case review

I was surprised with the quality when it arrived. It's a two part non-brand case that is made of rubber and plastic that basically click together. It feels great in your hands specially when you slide your fingers in the back with the soft rubber balls. The buttons are covered and it gives a nice soft click when you touch it. The screen is protected from touching the surface and the S Pen slot is wide and you can easily remove the pen with no extra effort. I love how it squeezes in tightly and it gives off a slim profile. The rubber corners of the phone stick out a tiny bit offering great support if it's dropped.
Pros: - Good quality
- Hugs the device perfectly
- Slim profile
- I feel like it could survive a few falls
Cons: No belt clip or stand

I Highly recommend for the price if you want something slim that will protect your phone from a fall.
I bought it at amazon for $9 they do have other colors available.

Looks good, but the back of the case I don't like.
It looks like you can charge with the case on.
I have to take my case off to charge my note 2.

I have the same case and you can charge phone with the case on and its a great case.

To be fair the pics were taken under really bright light, it looks more darker and sometimes you can't even notice the circles

Only with this phone could we be doing this in this fasion, it's awesome.

It may be a good case but that case is ugly in my opinion. I like a more simplistic classy look. I went ahead and ordered it though because its only case ive seen that actually protects your phone if u drop it. This should hold me over til the black Otterbox Commuter case is available. Hopefully this case looks better in real life.

Its actually quite a waste to buy such a case, it will provide no drop protection, and if you are just using it for improved grip and to avoid fingure prints, use a carbon skin with matte finish, or just buy a full body wet install screen protectors.

any suggestions for a carbon skin?

This type of case isn't for drop protection. That's a given. The full body protectors either don't cover the sides or tend to peel away after some time. I had a vinyl skin from dbrand on my M7 and loved it but the M8 skins aren't out yet and this case only costs $1.49 + $1.99 shipping.

almost same thing here
I just got mine today except the bottom is fully cover... well outside usb and headphone jack. I didn't buy this for drop protection its purely to keep the aluminum edges from dings and scratches as well as protect the slightly raised glass on each side of the phone. Mine is clear which I like as well you can still see the silver and HTC branding I like it.

be very careful with this case...had this for my M7 and a small drop onto my driveway and the phones edges were scuffed up really bad...

It looks like the official TPU case that comes for free with the international version.

Yeah like others said this is not protective case, i had the same for my HTc one m7 and when i dropped it i had a shock on the back. Be careful mate

Your Galaxy S7 Edge is beautiful, but it’s also fragile. Our friends at Cover-Up offer some amazing hand-finished real wood cases for your S7 Edge in a range of styles and wood species. Each #WoodBack case combines practical protection for your phone with the beauty of nature. And because Cover-Up use real wood, each case is always completely unique.
Cover-Up offers two styles of case for the Galaxy S7 Edge: a slim-fitting “Snap Case”, along with their tougher, more durable “Explorer Case”. For the minimalist, we’d recommend the #WoodBack Snap Case. It easily fits onto your phone and offers protection from knocks and bumps, leaving the wood itself to take centre stage.
For more serious protection, we’d go for Cover-Up’s #WoodBack Explorer Case. It has rubber-like TPU edges for shock absorption and added grip. It also features a raised bezel to guard your screen from scratches.
Find the full collection of wood finishes here, or take a look at some of our favorites below.

Hi check out my thread that I created on this and my review,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3343558

What are the sides of the snapcase (the black part that goes around the edges) made of? Do the edges at the top and bottom keep the glass from touching a surface if you put the phone face down?
Thanks.

The edges are made of plastic but it's soft touch and there is no lay on the table design meaning if it is face down it will be the glass touching the table. They do sell a case called the Explorer which I should be getting next week and I will be reviewing it so subscribe to my channel! Hope this helps

I want one of these, but no lip on the glass is a no go. What's the point?

It's a minimalist case for those who are only looking for scratch protection I guess, have you looked at the explorer case that they make?

I agree it's a minimalist case, but their first line of sale is talking about how fragile the phone is.
I did check out the Explorer via your YouTube review where you said there is no lip, so I passed over it. I really like the case, but I think they should have went a step further in their design on the Explorer case in that regard. They just need to add a couple of millimeters at the top and bottom chin as there isn't much you can do for the sides.
I may still pick one up for occasions as it is a really good looking case. I like the black ash.

They are really nice case's and it is a shame about the lack of lip.

Q: Tech21 Evo check case

Was wondering if the above mentioned case has a slight sticky tacky feel to it which I like.?
I remember the Tech21 Mesh series ones on older Samsung devices had a wonderful slight tacky sticky feel to thier edges of the cases. Thanks.

Cheers. Was looking for something with a slightly sticky tackey edges.
I think it was the Mesh series Tech21 I had for the S7 , edges were orange colored and had a slight sticky tacky feel to it.

I've been using this case since day one. I tried a few others, but keep coming back to it. It's a great case. I'm not sure about tacky, but it is not slick. I've never even come close to dropping my phone.
Just one word of warning. My wife got the white Evo Check, and the white yellowed pretty quickly. We just threw it away and got a cheap case on Amazon for her. My black case is still in perfect shape.

I primarily use a leather type folding case on the N8, but have tried a few regular cases which I find in all honesty uncomfortable to hold for long.
I find the edge tpu plastic or whatever it is hard to the touch. Was hoping to find a case that has soft compressible sides. The skins are soft and pliable but the edges are too thin for protection.

Note8 Tech21 evo check users, can help see if your case inside edge facing screen near top of power button is there a small extra protruding bit? Wondering if mine is defective. Thanks. Mine is black case, also tell me if yours is black or white.

I find the plastic injection faulty in these cases, UAG cases are by far, better built
