[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
Got the case and I freaking LOVE IT

killer protection cheap price. Going to order another in blue/black so I can put blue plastic with blue gel shell. ie blue on blue.

sadly its much darker blue than the picture indicates (I am very partial to bright colors and very antagonistic toward dark boring colors) but its not "too" bad.

that one of its few drawbacks :-)

The seller I got it from (case ology?) also had a PREVAIL case in killer bright orange. I have sent him a message begging on my hands and knees and offering to pay extra to get the epic touch case in that orange !! blue hard shell with orange cover would ROCK

anywhere here is my thoughts some pictures and video.

The case is a 3 part case.

you have a "FULL" enclosure "hard shell" that snaps around the phone (loose snap very easy to remove)

lay the phone in the bottom half insert the long right side first snap shut.

this full encloses the phone.

now this "phone/enclosure" gets shoved into the flexible shell (silicon?)

smooth it down make sure all the dimples "lock" into the slots on the hard shell and its a nice rigid soft fit that does not move flex or stretch around.

I REALLY like this form of enclosure. it feels extremely solid and protective.

Most likely any force sufficient to penetrate the case is sufficient to damage the phone even if it does not penetrate.

Will I test that? I hope not.

now this statement is conditional. IE I have huge hands.

the phone in this case "feels good" in the hands. it just "feels right"

even as bulky as this case is its still overall thinner than my touch pro 2 with stock battery.

I love the port covers for headphone jack and usb jack.

I love how DEEP the screen is for protection if it lands or slides face first including in my pockets.

now I did encounter some issues minor but annoying anyway.

Not all chargers will fit. for example my IGO charger is not usable any longer. the "tip" it too larger. I would need to get a short Micro USB extension if that even exists.

but my primary charger (my Kindle charger and cable) fit perfectly.

even slightly larger plugs fit (example the USB JIG fits fine)

I had to shave down the tabs for the kickstand just a hair. they were too tight. hurt my fingers trying to get it open and I still failed. had to resort to a key to pry it open.

once I shaved it down it functions perfectly.

The case fits the epic touch PERFECTLY but they forgot about the notification LED. there is NO HOLE for the LED in the upper right corner of the case. I will drill one later this week.

I wish they had made the case just a hair wider and wee bit longer.

the contact point between the screen and the "hard shell" is too tight on the edges and bottom (no problem up top the case to screen angle up top is HALF that of the bottom and sides)

it can be a wee bit difficult getting to the soft keys at the bottom and any navigation functions (letter jump in contacts) on the extreme edges of the screen. (this is where larger fingers are a detriment)

It fits in my jacket pocket no problem and my pants pocket no problem (I am a big fellow 6'4" so take that with a grain of salt) ie it fits in my shirt pocket too :-) hehe

so far (3 days) the case is holding up great. I will be sure to report back a long term review later on.

I love the bulk it adds to the phone protecting the screen and the camera module surfaces.

and I love the full enclosure hard shell and full overlay soft skin. I think this is far better than the 50/50 shells like the ballistics or the fishbone cases) although no doubt the ballistics is probably superior in the protection department I doubt by very much.

but you pay for this in bulk. The pro's are port protection and sleek looks even with the bulk. IE it looks "clean"

the kickstand functions both in both portrait and landscape though it is not 100% stable in portrait (easy to knock over left and right)

I also made a crappy video :-)
