Cimo Technologies S-Line Soft Shell Clear TPU Case Review​

I've owned a TON of cellphones over the years. Oddly enough, they've all been hard cases and this is the first TPU case I've ever owned. TPU, for those like me who had never owned one, is essentially a pliable plastic that is sturdy but not firm. It's almost a perfect mix between silicone (arguably too soft) and a hard plastic.

Packaging:

Having never owned a TPU case before I was worried when the package arrived and it was in a brown envelope with bubble wrap. I quickly found that the packaging really wouldn't have mattered due to the nature of the TPU case material.

The Case:

As mentioned above, this case is unlike any other case I've ever owned before and to be completely honest, I kind of like it!

The case I got was clear so that I could continue to see the beautiful lines, colors and design of the Droid Razr. As can be seen in the picture above, nearly the entirety of this case is clear and part of the back is a translucent.

Initially I HATED the the S-Line design but quickly grew to appreciate and ultimately LOVE the S-Line design because the different "colors" also had different textures. The textures were a great bonus as the texture I want for holding the phone is different than the texture I wanted for pulling the phone out of my pocket.

Speaking of texture, both sides of the case have a molded grip. This was a fantastic addition to the case and made holding case much convenient and pleasurable!!!

The case covers the power button and volume keys but allows full access to them. The volume keys are much easier to find and use than they were on a naked phone.

Installation and Fit:

Installation was a breeze. Really not much to say.

Fit is perfect! All cutouts are well done and do not interfere with operation of the phone, charger, headphones, etc. There is also a cutout for the SD Card and Sim Card slot.

Unfortunately, there was not a hole for the second microphone on the back of the phone. According to those I made test phone calls with (car, work, home), this was not an issue. Those who purchase this case may want to poke a hole through the case to allow the second noise-cancelling microphone to be beneficial.

I also noticed that the power button is easier to find but that it can be a little more difficult to press and can cause the case to bow a little at the front near the screen.

Overall:

This is a FANTASTIC case! Due to the nature of the material, it is sure to show wear and tear after time, especially with a clear case like the one that I'm reviewing.

Amazon currently has these cases on sale for $5.95 (which is a STEAL in my opinion) and are available in a variety of colors and styles (S-Line and plain).

Go get yours here!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MrFrankfromCM:
Just ordered a soft black case. Nice review!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] royalbloodvi:
Great case but does not fit in any of the raze docks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Deron Baker:
Just got mine in the mail today. It's on the phone right now. The side grips on this thing are great. This feature should be on every TPU case out there.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Huey85:
got one myself, but the only flaw I see is the lack of cut-out for the noise cancellation mic on the back. apart from that, very sturdy case and great value.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:
Got mine yesterday.

Not a fan. The top by the Motorola logo bows out. Plus I don't like the SIM cut out. Doesn't flow.

Back to the Verizon black gel one. Best I've used so far.
[Nexus One General] Syntax323:
So been looking into miui, looks pretty cool, but is it worth it?

Is it the same process to flash like I would cm7? I use rom manager, and in it their is miui English. Can I use titanium backup to restore Apps and everything when I have it on?

Seems like a completely different os so I don't know if everything would work like it does on cm7.

Any help/info appreciated!
[Nexus One General] Syntax323:
Oh and is it stable, and good battery life? Just want to test it out, and know if I can use all my apps still
[Nexus One General] bassmadrigal:
Yes, apps will work, just make sure you only restore apps and nothing system related as it may cause bootloops and system instability.

And plenty of people love it, so I would assume it is stable and has decent battery life. The iOS-style of the OS never appealed to me, so I never tried it.
[Nexus One General] JagaHee:
I've used MIUI and there are some things i didn't like there.

1. Camera is too dark on auto setting

2. Battery life is less than on CM7

But there are also some good things like smoother and very smart launcher, a lot of themes for it, nice widgets and some useful features in settings. All that thing are my own opinion and please excuse me MUIU lovers :)

P.S. got back to CM7
[Nexus One General] cyberstoic:
Miui is updated weekly. There are four "stable" builds released monthly. Miui.us, Miuiandroid.com, and Miui Scotland have English builds. You can also download at miui.com, but it is only in Chinese so you have to use google translate in order to navigate the site to find the download.

You can also download from Rom Manager, just wipe everything. Just like cm nightlies, if you are flashing the next weeks update, just wipe dalvik and cache and flash the rom over.

I use Titanium backup to reinstall apps after a flash and have never had any problem; and I switch back and forth between the latest Miui and Latest CM7 Nightly all the time. As BassMadrigal pointed out, only restore apps, not data when switching between these roms.

As for "is it worth it"? that is a question only you can answer by trying it. I love both CM7 and Miui but for different reasons. Try it and see what you think.

Note well that the weekly Miui betas vary in stability from week to week. These days they are generally very stable, but from time to time you get something not working. Moral of that story is make backups and flash back to them if the current weeks build is not right.
[Nexus One General] bassmadrigal:
You should be able to restore data for those apps that you installed, but just make sure you don't restore any data for system apps. That is where you will run into problems.
[Nexus One General] GuestK00105:
Miui is brilliant

I hated it months ago...

I mean hate!

I gave it another go when I installed it on my mates.

Everything is fast and snappy

You can theme everything like fonts icons wallpapers sounds. Locksreen themes very easy.

I use folders like app draws so more android than ios ;)

Give it decent go I think you'll like it
[Nexus One General] Syntax323:
Awesome. Thanks for replies. I figured not to restore system data, didn't know about app data though.

Didn't know if I had to do something else with the bootloader or anything. Will try when I get out of work.

Oh and were do I find themes? Are they on their website, or just in the market?
[Nexus One General] uoY_redruM:
Yeah, I was in the same boat. I absolutely HATED it at first. Now, I don't use any other ROMs. My thing is to just use LauncherPro, though, so I don't have an iPhone-ish look but I have all the perks of an MIUI ROM.

I've pretty much tried them all, from Rod's MIUI back in the day, to the "standard" miui.us versions, and all the variations in between.

Now, I'm pretty high on JBs QND MIUI. Absolutely love it.
[Nexus One General] GuestK00105:
Its got a built in theme manager you can download all through there.....

Talking bout iPhones there is a transformation pack that changes everything it looks very convincing even changing menus and sliders if you wanna try the darkside ;)
[Nexus One General] stickerbob:
MIUI has more features than any ROM I have used. My only beef with it is there only seems to be one or two stable builds a month. Yes they release weekly, but I found at least 2 of these builds would be very buggy. Some would kill my a2sd and others would cause random reboots. If you can find a good stable version I highly recommend it! Keep in mind that most of their builds are still considered Beta builds. The last time I used it there was no version for the N1 that was considered stable. That does not mean you won't find a stable version, just nothing official. I have been running CM 7.1 for a while now, but have considered switching back for a change.
[Nexus One General] Syntax323:
So I just got done flashing and setting it up. Love it so far. Its so different yet very nicely laid out. Still setting a few things up, so ill let you all how I like it after the first day.

Thanks for convincing though. Nice to try something completely different, but same style. :)
[Nexus One General] pseudoheld:
i use JBs QND on my nexus and overall its really good.

but its in the small things that CM is just better. for example miui has no lockscreen gestures (a feature i really loved on CM) the inbuilt trackball alert is pretty lame compared to CM (just 3 different notifications) and it doesn't work at all well with my cardock :(

these are some annoyances but overall its a really great experiance.
[Nexus One General] Syntax323:
What's the difference between miui.us and the other version you were speaking of? I can't find anything to tell me the changes between the two. They look different? Run different? What's different?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dwsmith:
Greetings,

When I was on my Sensation less than a week ago, the developers, many months ago made a camera mod of the HTC Amaze camera. The software and shutter lag were greatly improved.

With the Epic 4G Touch, I have noticed that taking pictures which are zoomed aren't as pristine as when I was on the Sensation with the Amaze mod. Could one of the developers here work on modding better software to our phone camera's?

I am sure others would be appreciative and even donate if this could be done successfully.

Thanks and good luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Why does some like you have a donate button?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
why is this in dev section? Do u not know how xda works yet? Anyways when zooming for a picture they still look great. Did u view the image after taking it zoomed? The preview when taking a picture always looks like ****.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
Does this flash in ODIN or CWM?? and I cant find a download link.. what the hell kind of development is this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vlug:
Hahaha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Attn DEVS:

Please make a MOD to include a FleshLight with this phone. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
You kidding? He developed that whole paragragh he posted. He put all those words together to form sentences.

So just to prove you wrong, I tried to flash this thread in Odin but it did not recognize it. Then tried CWM and my gosh it worked! It booted up and I went straight to the camera app. I snapped a picture and amazingly the picture came out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I am not sure if it looks better then before but at least this mod didn't break my camera! Thank you OP, you truly fall in line with the top developers here. Good thing you have that donate button otherwise I wouldn't know what to do with my money!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
The infallible XDA gods strike again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PsycloneTW:
I donated :shrug:

;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I could use all of my thanks on this thread. Funny stuff!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
I'm trying to find this camera mod? Where can I download it. OP, please repost link. TIA.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dwsmith:
Apparently reading must be difficult in this forum. As the title reads, this is a request for a mod to be made.

If you think the software on this camera is great, one word of advise go use other 8mp phones.

I can also tell you that the picture quality on the Nexus Prime is a lot better for the same camera. How could that be so if the everything is identical but the software? Since logical reasoning seems to be at a loss in this forum, let me answer it for you. Not all software is created the same. That is why different kernels can yield better performance of the same hardware.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
You're right, reading is difficult on this forum since a lot of people actually don't read THIS STICKIED THREAD first. Also the Prime's camera is definitely not the same, it's a 5mp non-backside illuminated sensor. If you look up pics posted in the general thread of this camera, pictures look quite good. Your phone either has a bad camera in itself or you're just being too picky?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dwsmith:
That stickied thread has nothing against posting request for development so what is your point?

Have you actually read it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Did u develop something???? NO. THEN IT DOESNT BELONG HERE. U LEARN TO READ!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dwsmith:
Once you learn correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kurupt1:
Hint for op, Q and A section
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
just the titles tell you its the wrong section, and you say people cant read...

hint, devs dont like the dev section littered with BS like this, so good luck on that request...

[XPERIA X8 General] marioko:
Using 3G or 2G network i cant upload anything. It just work with WIFI

I test my sim card in other phone and works fine, this discard any carrier problem, is a phone problem. I using stock rom 2.1. Using speedtest.net when start upload it just stuck at 8% to 10% never unstuck

please help me.

PD: I have 3 days reading and finding about this problem but only found about specific apps (youtube, facebook, etc) anything about global upload problem.
[XPERIA X8 General] Voodek:
did you find the sollution? I have the same problem for about two weeks.

Do I need to send my phone to warranty? :(
[XPERIA X8 General] Saipro:
Not sure where in the phone I encountered the setting (or which ROM) but I guess there's a setting responsible for that (i.e. restricting the upload of large files/downloading updates to WiFi).

Or the off-chance your Carrier is messing with you (mine did that a few weeks back but restored the service two weeks later). After all, you can surf the web, can't you? Doing that is an interactive process which requires concurrent downloading and uploading data. Let's have your feedback.

PS: Is it a CM7-based ROM?
[XPERIA X8 General] - Swift -:
Also, remember that some apps ONLY allow you to upload via WIFI.
[XPERIA X8 General] Voodek:
I tried it on many kernels on many roms and still the same. Also i changed my Simcard to another operator and still cannot upload. Speedtest shows about 1KB/s upload where download is about 400KB/s. Market, Opera Mobile, Stock browser shows timeouts. Works Only IM and Opera mini.

I want to back to stock kernel and stock rom but i cant find link to download stock kernel.

:(
[XPERIA X8 General] darkfrmr:
an easy way to return to stock kernel is flashing baseband again, here you can find a baseband according to your device (e15i or e15a)
[HTC Inspire 4G] iknowhugh:
Hi. I have searched for a good hour or so. I found stuff on black screen after a pleathera of other things but not after your battery died. I was texting from my phone and the battery died. Since then, it will not turn back on. Well, it turns on because it is vibrating and when I try to do the power button, volume button thingy...the green light goes on and it vibrates, but still nothing on the screen. when I have it plugged into the charger, I can see a light in the background but as soon as I unplug it, the light goes off...can you help or direct me to the correct thread. I really did try looking for the solution but all that I see are things that have happend while trying to update or etc. thank you
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
I did read somewhere a while back that somebody else had this issue. They just took it to att and told them their battery died and their phone won't turn on. They will give you a new battery to try. A new battery fixed it for the guy in the article I read.
[Motorola Triumph] nklenchik:
So my friend and I just put CM7 on his triumph with the OC kernel (forget what it was called, but it maxed at 2 GHz theoretically.) Before CM7, his standby would take up most of his battery, but now the gallery, YouTube and camera apps claim they're all using 24%. Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
[Motorola Triumph] ketjr81:
I've never had any issues with battery stats but you can also clear the battery stats in recovery, usually after they flash a new kernel or ROM.
[Motorola Triumph] primetechv2:
I have always found battery stats have lied to me... Until perhaps Gingerbread.

Does anyone have a way to extract the contents of an FFU file? I have one for the Dell Venue pro and I am trying to extract its contents to figure out a way to interop unlock the device. I thought it might just be a renamed nbh file but this is not the case.

hey,

an ffu is a signed cab file with a XML database .blob file in it.

thanks a lot!
[Motorola Droid 3] xpsychox:
Okay. I looked as best as I could but I could not see it.... anyways, I was on the thread where it discribes in detail from TBH how to do the teathering hack... i looked for radiocom program, I found it, when i open it, i get an error saying "this version of radioncomm is more than 2 months old. This version may be out of date. Pleaes visit PDO Compass webpage and download the latest version of RadioComm." then i click ok.. then i get another error saying "error in getting the pointer to commP@K and/or CommQC. Error number: Exception of type 'system.excetion' was thrown. then i click ok, and it closes.

Now, as listed in the insturctions, i did try to go to programs and right click program, and did toubleshooting, etc. It didn't work, even tried to re-install it, and do it that way... what am i missing?!?!
[HTC Rezound] Droopie28:
Ok, so I'm new to Tasker I will admit, but has anyone successfully setup theirs to turn off 4g when the screen is off?, or off unless a certain app is open? thanks
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
If that is all you need, use JuiceDefender. It does it automatically
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
There isn't LTE support yet for Tasker. It is on their todo list:

[EVO 4G Accessories] guih:
I purchased a really cheap extended battery about a month and a half ago on amazon and it practically doubled my battery life for a while. Now for some reason its no where near that performance and will only last me a day or so. I already wiped my battery stats, but no luck. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
[EVO 4G Accessories] qccoles:
OMG ONLY A DAY?! YOU POOR THING!

No really though. Maybe it's an app you've downloaded recently. Do a full wipe If a full day of battery life just isn't good enough for you.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Pivo187:
Any of the ext batteries good??
[EVO 4G Accessories] Seechay:
May I ask what the battery was? I got a really cheap one off amazon that is supposedly 3500mAh, but it only has a slight difference in charge time =/
[EVO 4G Accessories] stevovanburen:
Hey,

I got the same extended battery off amazon, it works amazing, anyways there are several things that could be causing this issue:

1. Like someone posted before me check your apps, see whats running. Make sure to look out for the new ones because it might be running in the backround where even the task killer cant reach and killing your batter D:

2. Are you using gps 4g or any other features like that?

3. If you are rooted did you just flash a new rom? because with different roms you will get many different factors that effect your batt, with MIUI I would get over a day on the standard battery, and on sense roms il get maybe only half a day.

4. Those cheap batts are made for little and sold at little from China, so the quality isnt always the best, and it might be time to get a new one!

Hope I helped! and I hope you find a solution! good luck!
[EVO 4G Accessories] kz6fittycent:
L-ion batts

Since this a very old post, I'm sure that you've already resolved the issue. It has been my experience that while L-ion batts don't have a memory, their ability to take a charge can be affected by inadequate initial charges and NOT running them totally dead, at least once in a while. Whereas wiping battery stats will help the phone's OS to ensure maximum charge and usage, the battery still needs to go through a full cycle.

I hope that I'm not wearing you out with crap you already know. (Let's just assume that someone else needs this information, too).

Now to get REALLY nerdy:

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries

Read that if you really want to understand L-Ion batteries.

Then, you could just have a really cheap or bad battery pack. BTW, what's that brand again? I'm about to buy one myself...LOL.
[Motorola Droid 3] HoopyFreud:
Is it possible to move the default widgets to an AOSP ROM?

After moving to CM7, I find that the my favorite News widget was the one included in the stock OS, and I was wondering if there was a way to move it. Simply pulling the APK from the deodexed ROM doesn't work. Is there another way?

TL;DR: I want me the stock News widget.
[HTC Sensation] madbeardo:
Hi, I have got brand new XE. It is a way cool phone. But the problem is that it is pretty laggy. Then I am scrolling menu, internet pages it is lagging. It is thinking (loading stuff) too long. One time it has even rebooted. I can't understand because everything is stock in it. No custom rom, kernel.

So I want to ask you guys if this ways is the one it suppose to work? :(

I was using Galaxy S2 before and it was perfect phone for me until it was stolen. It worked perfect, there was no lag. And now in this laggy Xe i can't feel no convenience.
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
This is xda. We flash our phones as quick as we can. Try to root your phone and flash some other roms.

--------------------------------

Send via the XDA app
[HTC Sensation] madbeardo:
Thanks for fast response. I know what the main idea of XDA is. But the actual question is still the same. Is HTC putting laggy phones to the market or is it mine phone faulty?

I would like to avoid flashing at this case. I want to keep guarantee. I am aware of loosing it..
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Try a factory reset.
[HTC Sensation] Ace42:
1)Phone isn't faulty

2)SGSII has GPU rendering or HW accel.

3)HTC hasn't optimized Sense yet to have HW accel

Sense has always been laggy on stock, this holds true since Sense made its debut on the hero; such a shame that 2 years later the issue is still present in 3.0 :p . IF you root the phone can be returned to stock too, I'm sure you will prefer the perf boost from root...I use IC(insert coin) and it's extremely fast at 702 w/ smartassV2, and there's a MOD for a super fast rosie to make the homescreen faster. However it's your choice to keep the XE on stock or return it for SGSII.
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
I just bought this xe 2 days ago..so far, did not notice any lag..yet..

Try factory reset..maybe it will fix it..

^^
[HTC Sensation] madbeardo:
You are lucky then. Because mine is very laggy!!! Ok... Not that much. Sometimes I can feel lag when typing, scrolling, browsing...
[HTC Sensation] madbeardo:
I guess ya right. SGS2 couldn't be compered as is has got acc. I was overclocled mine old sgs2 to 1.6ghz and ir was perfect. I thought that 1.5ghz of xe holds some serious power. Maybe it is. However, i really need to root it, its the only way to seek for it.
