Alright guys so I have a half review for everyone. Due to me not being able to find my cable for my camera, I have pictures taken from my 4G so no pictures right now with it in the case. Will have some of those shortly! Enjoy.

Comparison to the Seidio Active

Just found that Ballistic makes a case for the 4G. Being in construction, I had one of these on my EVO 4G and LOVED it. Buying now. Great case and highly recommend it!
Since I can't do direct links I guess... Search "Ballistic Case" in Google and either click on Sprint or Samsung once in the site.

These look pretty cool! i might get one. Kinda looks like Fort Knox on your phone but stylish
Edit* post a review when you get it
Just got home from work and it's here! Post up a review later today. Check back!
Do you think this will fit the Nexus S for T-Mobile?

Most likely it will. It's labeled as the 4G so don't blame anything on me! It fits awesome! It adds bulk but no more than any Seidio case. I think the protection is better than Seidio. The fit is perfect and snug. I can't do a review tonight but I will try and find my camera to do one for this weekend or tom/Friday.

I would throw it around if it were the HC Series but the SG Series is less hardcore. I had the HC Series on my EVO and dropped from about 8 feet onto broken up concrete with no problem multiple times. This seems to offer plenty of protection though.
Alright guys sorry for the delay. I have the pictures taken I just can't find my cable to transfer the pictures... Be up soon hopefully.
Thanks this red looks real clean. How does it fit in the pockets? I just wondering cause the corners bulge
Fits the pocket pretty good for a heavy duty case. Nothing worse than any other silicone case. I shouldn't say silicone but it's fairly easy in and out. That's what she said?
Thanks for letting me know about this case. I purchased the black one and it DOES fit my Nexus S (T-Mobile). The BodyGuardz I have on the back of my Nexus S seems to help the fit but I did contact Ballistic CS and they told me it would fit.
I was looking for a replacement for Otterbox (this looked so clean and probably would have been the best case too bad they didn't make it) and I'm liking this and the Aegis.
My Ma has one of those (well, very similar to that for the Desire HD). I just don't like the pink ... afraid of catching "The Gay"
I'm just joking, pink just isn't my colour.

So, my Nilkin case arrived in the mail on friday. Took 2 weeks.
The Gallery of images can be viewed here for a better look and experience. HERE
So here's the package.

Conclusion:
Overall a very good case. Actually makes the phone look very good. Especially the back where the phone looks slick. The fact that the bottom and top are protected halfway scares me, however i can take care of the phone well so it depends on you.
The case feels quite slippery when you hold it up, so you have to grip it tightly.
Looks good on the sides and all round. Generally a very nice case to have.
I love it.
I hope this review helps you to decide and if you liked this review PLEASE HIT THE THANKS BUTTON

Looking good! I've been thinking of getting a case for my naked NS4G. I've dropped it waay too many times to not seriously start considering getting one.

If you keep dropping your phone you definitely need a cover. I dont think this is available for NS4G though. You'll have to look for a similar one.

Anyone bought this cover?

I think it's cheaper on eBay, but CASESSS.com offers faster shipping options and free to Singapore as well.

Found a simple padded zip pouch. I'm still gonna get the official ASUS smart cover as well, but wanted a travel pouch to throw on the passenger seat and to put in my messenger bag. Also glad my money is going to an actual person and not some crap Belkin company that over charges for garbage.

Looks great! Thanks I think I'm going to order one!
Just ordered! Case looks really nice is exactly what I'm looking for. I like the feel of the tablet alone and not some clunky trifecta-folding-triangle that you can put your pens and credit cards in. This + a screen protector = all you should need!
Thanks for link!!

Looks like the perfect case to hold you over until you find something you want.
The Snupped ones seem pretty cool, but I'm not sure about having to ship it over from Singapore. The first Etsy post was not bad either. I'm wondering if groups like Byrd & Bell (wool + leather) will start making them for the Nexus 7, but they do have one for the Kindle Fire (which would probably fit). The only thing is that it's pretty expensive for a sleeve ($48).

It's slimfit just like the one from the Sprint store.
It's also anti-microbial as well.
Like stated in the other thread, one of the best TPU cases I've owned.
With the foursqure coupon at TMo, you get it for 30% off.

Nice pics. Not with Tmo for coupon though..
Nice looks a little different from sprint one. Sprints has the whole back textured, the bottom is smooth and glossy, and the sides are a smooth matte.

someone should just bulk buy heaps and sell them on ebay for us international folks

I also have this one and yes it slides in/out pocket well.
Feels thin but will protect from drop/scratches and the gray color goes well with the Note's Titanium color.
So far it's maintaining it's shape and no scuff/scratches. It's a keeper for myself.
(just noticed it's $18.65 on amazon)

Oh good ****. They finally updated the site. (i work for tmo)
Those diamond cases are awesome. I used one on my s2 forever. The gray part is rubber, the white is plastic. One piece design similar to the Speck candyshell.
If you work at T-Mo...do you know if the 30% Foursquare thing still works? That's assuming these things exist in stores yet. I thought I saw someone say they used it a few days ago, but the only thing I can find are links to a promo from last year.

Should still work. The code is active in the system.
They are running 30% off with this too:
Nothing special but thought I'd share. Loving it. Just arrived from Hong Kong today...it's a very tight fit to the phone and provides great shell protection to the back and ends of the phone. It cost 12 bucks with free shipping and came with an anti reflective screen protector. Shipped in about 10 days.
EBay seller's name is platinumarrow if anyone's interested.

Looks similar to an OSIR one I used to have for my iPhone.
I'm a huge fan of anything carbon fiber. But 12 bucks? That seems a little cheap for something made out of CF, doesn't it?
EDIT: It's plastic with a CF finish. Still cool. But now you've got me looking for a case actually made of carbon fiber lol

I've read that real carbon fiber can interfere with cell signals, so you might want to keep that in mind.

Hello All,
Tried to look for this via search, google/youtube and can't seem to find one. There seems to be various aluminum bumpers on Ebay but from what I've been told/read it does reduce wifi/cell so definitely don't want that and not really keen on aluminum protection.
I'm getting a Dbrand Skin sent in and would like the bumper protection. I'm pretty careful with my phones but occasionally will drop and that soft tpu bumper really works well. Unfortunately it seems like everything TPU made comes with a back cover. I'd rather not cut-out a clear bumper since it'll be rough/ragged lol.
Anyone seen, know of one?
Best,
Zio
Try the RhinoShield bumper from Evolutive Labs. I think they'll begin shipping them in a few weeks. According to their website, the do sell one for the Galaxy S7 now. Hope that helps.

Thanks Sade! I've reached out to the company to see if they have plans to do so.
Had a rhinoshield on my note 5 and loved it. It did make the phone wider and taller, but it was nice to feel the glass on the front and back of the phone; plus great confidence for drop protection. There's some youtube videos on their product.
With the glass back on the Samsung phones, I think I'll feel a lot better with a case that protects the back, too.
If you get the rhinoshield bumper get the back screen protector with it as it is excellent
I've got a mahogany DBrand skin so got the back part covered! I'm mostly careful with my phone. If I ever do drop it, it's usually on to my carpet when getting off the couch or bed lol.

+1 Just e-mailed their support team with a link to this thread & the other one in the S7 Edge accessory section regarding backless bumpers.
Got a response from the folks @ RhinoShield just hours after contacting 'em:
Hi,
Thank you for your interest in our product.
For the s7 Edge we are still looking for way to overcome the difficulties associated with its contoured sides. If we have a breakthrough for it, you can be sure that we will announce it at our Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/evolutivelabs ( https://www.facebook.com/evolutivelabs ).
