I recently ordered a Matte TPU case from a seller on ebay in Hong Kong. I like giving my phone some color on occasion but nothing overbearing or ugly. I dont like the clearish TPU cases with patterns because unless you get it in black or white (clear), the color looks awful to me against the black phone. So i decided to give the matte ones a go and i love it. The only down side is that i wish the buttons werent covered at all, it makes them a bit more sensitive but at least they arent hard to press and i suppose i could just cut it out. For now it doesnt really bother me.
I doubt these cases will provide much shock protection from a bad drop but i think they look good and are extremely slim. I went from using the Amzer to this and my phone feels naked now lol. Ill switch back and forth for when i feel like i need better protection. It feels great in my hand and slides easily in and out of my pocket. The plus about this case is that it doesnt have that hideous random red tramp stamp strip on the back like majority of the matte TPU cases. Im extremely anal about how my phone looks so that was a h*ll no. Also, youll see in the pic below that the front edges are a bit shiny, they arent matte like the back and i guess it adds something to the design. The material covering the buttons is the same thats around the edges. So if you wanted to attempt at cutting and freeing them from confinement, you already have an outline.
The seller i purchased from is out for the Chinese New Year but i think it says they will resume sales on the 11th or 12th. I purchased on the 23rd of January and got it on the 7th so thats pretty average wait time coming from HK.
I also tried out the "S" case that has a thread here in the forum, and way too snug for my liking and i didnt like the gloss next to the matte, so if anyone wants it i can mail it to you or its going in the trash. (i got it in black.)
Here are two pics, sorry i dont have one of it on the actual device but the best camera i own is....my Nexus lol. The itouch fails miserably at a decent photo. And yes remember it is flexible...

Then dont buy one. It was a couple bucks maybe? Its not like there are tons of cases out there that are worth the money so a little on the cheap side doesnt bother me. I wanted plain, slim, and color and thats what this is. I think its hard to avoid a "cheap" look when you spend 4 bucks on a TPU case. But anyway, thats what the review is for...to help you decide if you want one or not.

Haha I've been told a few times that I should but I don't think I have time to learn with school going on. I see like....3 girls on this forum so its kind of intimidating lol. The most I've even done for myself is make docks. I'm working on an icon set though that's been taking forever. Add me to gtalk...same name.
i actually got this case in white. It's actually a very good case for $1 and change. It is very slim. I love it. The buttons are easier to push then the ones on the amzer case.
Definitely worth the $1!!!
Anyone know an approximate ETA on any upcoming Seidio cases for the Bionic?
Surface case is available now on their website.
Can't believe they've been so slow on this one. Most big phones they have cases available at least for preorder before it comes out.

Whats even more surprising to me is that they are still in business with the HORRIBLE customer service attitude that they have!

Really? When I called them a couple of weeks ago regarding a payment issue, they were as friendly as can be. Maybe I got someone that was having a good day

They gave me a HUGE run around with over $350 worth of defective merchandise that they sold me way back when I had my OG Droid. In fact I ended up having to give them extra money just to get a refund. I haven't fooled with them ever since.

Wow, that sucks sorry to hear that.
The Surface case and holster combo for the Bionic went on sale on Seidio's website, I placed my order this morning and hopefully will receive it in a couple of days. If no one else decides to do a review on it, I will do so once I receive it for those interested in buying one.
I've used their cases since my first EVO. Loved the Active case on my EVO 3D and would love to see them make one of those for the Bionic.
What I would like to know: will the surface case also fit the extended battery? It doesn't appear that it would. The holster probably won't care, but without extended battery support for the black case, then I'm out of luck as are many of us.
Cases Are Coming Soon
Here's what I know:
1) Seidio Surface, Active & Convert Cases are coming very soon 1-2 weeks tops.
2) Droid Bionic Extended Cases have not been finalized so there's still a chance they will not develop the model and if they do it won't be for awhile. Consider other alternatives: Check out this XDA thread
3) We have confirmed that Seidio is releasing the Extended Battery no ETA on that.
Colors?
I know the black Seidio case is out, but any idea when the other colors will be? I find it odd that if they can make the black case and release it, why wouldn't the other colors come out at the same time? Same case, different color so one would think that it shouldn't be very difficult.

Go to www.seidioonline.com. They have other colors up. Some are still in development. But the colors are usually black, blue, purple and red. Occasionally they release a white one a little later. Sometimes green as well, I think. But the first four I mentioned are either already available or are in development.

I saw that they had the other colors listed, but what I was saying is that since the design is the exact same just different colors you would think that all of them could be released at the same time. It would be the same mold, just different color plastic poured in.
Update from Seidio's website:
The Surface case for the Bionic in Sapphire Blue and Amethyst are now shipping, along with the holster combos for those colors. Black is also available. Burgundy is still unavailable at this time.
FYI for anyone interested in the Samsung Case..
just a heads up, went to Sprint to buy the Samsung case and it was almost $40.
found them under $30 at Amazon and definitely cheaper than buying from samsung.. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UCZGTOO/

How can I get in on this??
Does anyone find a picture of the silver case on a Golden Galaxy S6 Edge?
I cannot seem to find it, and can therefore not decide if I should take the silver or golden case.
I have the golden one for my sapphire edge, it's not as gold as it is in pictures. More of a only slightly gold chrome, looks silver a lot of times to me. I had to check the packaging to make sure they sent me the right one.

Many thanks for your feedback. I guess my choice is made then.
Should you have a picture of it.. this would help to make my final validation.

You're absolutely right, even the pictures I took make it look a little more yellow gold than it looks in person, it really depends a lot on the light that's hitting it. White gold/yellow gold combo is a great way to describe it. I really love the look and feel of this case. I have insurance and, though I've used bulky cases in the past, I rarely if ever drop my phone on anything other than carpet *knock on wood* so I'm going the almost naked route this time.

I mean, yeah I see where you're coming from, it's a pretty simple set of 3 words saying who designed the product, but I'm sure they had "pushing buttons" in mind. It's on the case, not the phone itself, so it's not biting apple steez with every phone sale. And not that this argues samsung isn't playing with apple, but samsung had an ad campaign back with the s3 that was designed for/by humans (yes I know apple has ALWAYS done it), it only seems natural that when they moved on from the "nature" ux (no pun intended) that they went to "designed by *their brand name*". Again not arguing that samsung isn't trying to push apple buttons, but this is a very minor way of doing it in the big picture.

Misleading the title.
Buy one, get one free leather back seems like a reasonable and proper title to me, since that is what you get.
The smart way to do this is to get people to split the cost as I could see wanting 1, but not 2. For example, I like the CPR-110.ACUSYW YELLOW but that is about all. (I really want the beige tan, but that is not offered for USA on this offer). So then, the 2 people spend about $70-75 (shipping) total so $35+- for a cover versus $70.

I thank the OP for changing the title after I mentioned it. Anyhow, I wouldn't mind going in halfsies with someone if they wanna order one. I just want one anyway.

Good idea going halves on it. Actually might not mind that at all LOL
people who bought the "plastic" backed phones should realize your buttons and camera lens will be the color of your back. I think there is going to be a lot of pissed off people who get a leather back and not realize this.
I ordered the red and blue one and it seems that the blue isnt going to be available till after the launch date. That might be the cases for the yellow back as well since I dont think they were released with any carriers. Not a big deal for me, I can wait, but a heads up.
I like that yellow, I could be into owning that color.
Anyone wanna go halfsies on this deal? I could would like the light blue one but I don't want any of the others and I sure don't want to spend $70 on one back..

Actually, I'm very happy that I got the deep blue plastic back (verizon through best buy) and have ordered the red and yellow leather backs thinking it might look pretty cool with the blue lens and buttons.
Looking forward to mixing it up.

I would be up for going in 1/2 with someone. You would have to have the eligible phone as I purchased a European version.
If anyone gets a red one they don't want, I'll pay $35+shipping!

Yeah, nice.
Comes in multiple colors. Seller is awesome. Should protect against scratches from bumps and the problem areas of the watch. It wasn't as bulky as I thought. I got the black one. He sent me a white glow in the dark one because of a shipping delay of no fault of his. The white one wasnt my cup of tea but the black rocks. You do have to remove it to charge. It clips on pretty good. Im surprised i havent seen it mentioned here with all the sanding and such. The groves are not nearly as pronounced as the picture shows. Mine was smoother which i liked. Great with a screen protector for scratch protection. Hopefully the picture uploads otherwise his ebay name is archer28.
One more real picture. sorry about the second post
Thanks for sharing. What a coincidence. I was just searching for something similar and I found this post.
Could you pls share the ebay link?
Cheers.
i found him by typing in lg g watch r case on ebay. his name is archer28. he said he would be listing more next week. tell him Jeremiah sent you. i thought it was a great idea so we were chating back and forth a bit. great guy. said he was taking a break this week. i told him i was gonna post on xda so im sure more will be listed. large range of colors also
It's 3D printed, possibly designed by himself.
My only gripe is that you gotta remove it before charging. I can see me doing that each time I come home from work.
It's not on his eBay yet, but I'm eager to purchase it if the price is right
it was under 10 bucks. i think for me its more of an accessory where i wouldnt always use it but its perfect for those times where you would be hesitant to wear the watch or worry about it because of it getting damaged. its really easy to remove so its really not a big deal to remove before charging. keep checking next week or drop him a quick email through ebay. im positive more are coming and he took a break this week

Any pics of the bottom of the watch with cover on?

Yea i use the cover all the time with no damage to the watch yet with it on. i just snap it off to charge. it isnt perfect but a pretty darn good solution. i dont want to sand mine or damage it while it has a warranty. eventually if they do a holiday sale i may get the huawei watch.
ive got 2 of these for a 360 great fit and protection
have 3 coming for the gwatch r
guys in VA like mysef
Any sellers anywhere??

You could try to reach out to him and see when the next run is: http://www.ebay.com/usr/archer28
I been buying these from him for a while now ordered 3 so far because I keep losing them there great tho and great price! His father just died tho so he shut down for a while an eBay message he sent me said. hopefully he comes back because he is the only guy with this on eBay right now with watch covers.
Just bought this idk how a owner of this watch could live without this .. Seller was even nice enough to send me a red one .. Must buy
