I'm not a big fan of the neo-hybrid. Sharpens the back of the phone so it doesn't feel as comfortable to hold. The port opening isn't big enough for some of chargers as well, just the official one. It also doesn't feel like it would protect the phone from a drop at all. Just my opinion anyway.

Have a screen protector on order. Spent more to get the spigen glass.Tr one as I hate the feel of others. It's quite expensive though. Screen protector will protect from scratches not shattering. The lip from the tech 21 case should stop the screen from taking most impacts. It raises about a millimeter up from the screen.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] madAdam6LOVE:
I'm sold on the Tech21 Mesh and went to order it on the company website. It costs $50! Granted, shipping is free, but that's too pricey for a case. Anyone know of a U.S. outlet that may be able to sell them for less?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Matarese171:
Sorry dude...I'm Irish. Ordered mine on ebay from an English company for £22.80 sterling including delivery which is about $35 roughly. I reckon you're being ripped off for that price.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] shortie1987:
Glad you've been happy with the cases so far guys! I'm using a Zagg Invisible Shield with mine which isn't for everyone, but I like it!

Excellent! I bought one here (this seller is in US rather than UK so I should get it in a couple days rather than weeks):

They have these at T Mobile stores. They carry the whole line of Tech 21 cases.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] shallmrt:
Surprised we don't have more talk on the Tech21 cases and that screen protector... or are they junk? or is it everyone just in love with Slim Armor?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CHUUZE:
Other than the aesthetics is there any difference between the impact mesh amd impact maze?

Sent from the CHUUZ3D Galaxy via XDA Premium
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Kjherr:
I don't think so. I personally like the maze better clear on my white gs4. Tried it on at T-Mobile. The one thing that will stop me from getting that case is the front lip is one of the smallest I have seen. Even with a glass protector... it has no protection if it falls face down which is most likely since the screen is the heaviest part...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] duface:
Do you have any other cases to compare it to? I currently have the SGP slim armor, but I was looking for something with a slightly higher lip.

Play-doh

I wonder if I line my case with play-doh would it have the same effect. The S4 took all my money so I got to improvise.

Not all it's cracked up to be...

I bought one of the Tech21 cases, specifically the Tech21 Impact Mesh with Flip Cover, thinking that as the lip of the case is negligible it's best to have some kind of protection for the screen (should the phone fall however there's no way that cover is staying close to the screen to absorb impact).

After 3 days in the case (it is an incredibly tight case) the top left corner cracked. Now, maybe I got a duff one, however this is the second case I've had that has exactly the same problem, both cracked in the top left corner from nothing more than the phone sitting in it, not been dropped or anything. Although the idea behind the Tech21 case is great, execution isn't great, which is a shame.

Just be wary, hopefully mine is an isolated issue, dodgy batch or something, just seems odd it would happen twice in exactly the same way.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] shortie1987:
From your photo, that case seems to be completely different to the ones everyone else here (myself included) have been buying. The impact mesh/maze are made from a soft TPU material, where as yours looks more rigid?

I highly doubt the impact mesh/maze cases would crack like that.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Alk3fan:
I do apologise, it's the 'impact snap case'. Should have double checked with the packaging but it was hidden so I didn't dig it out. But you're right, the material is a lot more rigid.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] shortie1987:
Just thought I'd report back on this...

For the first time today, I've inadvertently tested this case out! I dropped the phone from probably about 3ft onto a hard laminate floor. It landed right on the corner nearest the headphone jack then landed screen down...

I'm happy to say there is absolutely no damage :) Its strange, when the phone hit the floor it didn't even bounce, almost as if the case absorbed the impact. It just fell, landed then flopped over onto the screen!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Coolfreak:
This technology is revolutionary. I had a a guy from t mobile throwing his phone around the mall kiosk to prove it. He was not afraid to let anybody drop it or throw it against a wall. I'm not going to throw my phone against a wall but I was amazed to see how much damage this absorbs.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] shortie1987:
This is a great product, but I only discovered the other day that Tech 21 was on Dragons Den and got 2 dragons on side, which probably explains why they are so widely available!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lambstone:
Would be great if you could have taken a video. Would have like to see it for myself.

I still don't dare to drop it. It's still more of an insurance.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] JoeFCaputo113:
Does this case have a bumper on it? So if my phone falls face down the screen won't crack?? Also, where can I get one to get shipped to the US?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] fresh_TD:
Pretty much most Tmobile stores have these cases in Stock. .that's where I got mine from.. Also bestbuy has them too:D

Sent from my S4 Active
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] JoeFCaputo113:
Looks like I'll be taking a trip to the mall tomorrow! BUT like I asked... does the bumper protect against face first falls?! Cause from the looks of it, the bumper looks non-existent!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] fresh_TD:
The case itself has raised lip on the front that prevents the screen from touching

I've been using this case for the past week and am really liking it although I have read great things about the UAG case and am tempted to try it. Anybody own both the tech21 and UAG?

Lip with iloome for Impact Mesh S4

I have the S4 with the iloome screen mate tempered glass screen protector. It has about .23-.26mm of thickness. Do you think this case would still have a good lip or should look elsewhere for a different case?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] shortie1987:
I think you would probably be better looking elsewhere mate, the lip on the case isn't huge!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] roote223:
Do you know what case would be good for me? I am looking for a case with a lip, decent drop protection, and relatively slimmer design.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] 3's&7's:
Because that is the only place you need it, a flat fall is not common. My Tech 21 impact mesh case bounces the phone to a soft landing, just a small corner tap is all it takes. Works perfectly.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tompaine:
First,

I really want to thank everyone for their support in this forum. Everyone has been amazing.

I was trying to bring my MZ601 back to stock yesterday. Something bad happened during fastboot and asked me if I wanted to unlock my device. Then the screen locked up and didnt do anything. I rebooted the device and now it gets stuck in a boot loop with the EOS symbol (last rom I installed). When I enter recovery there is nothing there, all of my data is gone.

Worse the device is not recognized on my computer nor can it be found in adb fastboot. I have updated motorola drivers, but I think the device never gets past a certain point in order to be found.

Can somebody please help me.

Thanks,
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demunted:
Pretty impossible to brick XOOM's but i'll ask the basics. Can you get into recovery from a cold boot? Can you get into fastboot from a cold boot?

By the sounds of it you've just corrupted your rom or tried to re-unlock the device which would cause the entire sdcard partition to be erased.

Boot XOOM into Recovery, Fastboot, or RSD mode

So you need to get into Recovery to backup your XOOM (you do nandroid don't you?). Or perhaps you were working on creating new levels of awesome and something happend and you find yourself staring at the Motorola Dual Core boot screen with your XOOM refusing to boot any further. Fear not, you are only a few clicks away from finding your way back into recovery or fastboot goodness.

Turn your XOOM off

Press Power to turn your XOOM back on

When the Motorola Dual Core boot screen appears tap Volume Down repeatedly until "Android Recovery" is displayed

Press Volume Up to enter Recovery

You can also choose from Fastboot protocol support and RSD mode by using the same method but instead selecting their respective menu prompts.

Note:

If your XOOM is caught in bootloops or you find yourself stuck in RSD mode or Fastboot Protocol support you can hardware reboot your XOOM by pressing and holding Volume Up + Power until the tablet reboots (usually a few seconds but could be longer).
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tompaine:
Hi,

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately, it seems that I have caused the entire sd card partition to be erased. That mean when I trry to fastboot my device is not recognized. Also, i cannot add anything to my xoom through usb. I have tried to flash through the external sd card, but to no avail. What do I have to do?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfib1:
What does your xoom show up as when plugged into your pc APX? Can you boot into fastboot mode. with power off press power and volume down until you see fastboot.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tompaine:
Hi thanks for the reply to my message.

Unfortunately I cannot find my device when it is plugged into my computer (PC). It does not show up on my computer nor in the device manager. I can start the fastboot protocol on my device by rebooting, but I also cannot find my device in ADB.

Thanks for the reply, but I am still very stuck.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndanl:
are you sure your device is in fastboot ? did you reinstall the drivers, try with another usb cable, adb shoud see the device after the drivers were installed correctly ...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tompaine:
I did everything I have done before. I have setup android sdk, java, and motorola drivers on two different PCs. Both fail to find my device when i type ADB devices nor does ADB reboot bootloader work. I tried the different cable, but that also did not work.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

I see that your problem is quite hard, try doing this:

1 - Force your tablet to shut down (vol+ + Power)

2 - Turn on while holding the vol- button

3 - Keep pressing vol-

4 - Plug on your PC and try fastboot devices, adb won't work!

5 - If 4 didn't work, keep trying until it does

6 - Install a Stock ROM (so you will solve your problems)

If the above don't work, contact me via PM, so we can talk easily (maybe GTalk or something like this). Good Luck ;)

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Garageguy05:
Greetings,

I purchased a used 4g that was supposedly not rooted and it doesn't appear to be - Root Checker indicates that there is no root access. We're currently introducing MobileIron at work and it will not allow rooted phones access to our infrastructure. However, I'm having issues with the MI and the support desk indicates that the O/S has been compromised, of which I'm doubtful.

Is there any way to tell if the phone was previously routed and then returned to the stock ROM? This is the only explanation I have.

Any insights here would be welcome...

TIA

GG
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
As a first check, reboot your phone to the bootloader and see if the pink banner across the top says UNLOCKED. It should not say RELOCKED or TAMPERED.

1) Set this option: Settings > Power > Fast boot = False

2) Shut down the phone

3) Holding the volume-down button, turn on the phone (continue holding volume-down until your reach the white bootloader screen)

4) Look for the pink banner at the top

5) You can exit the bootloader by navigating the menu with volume keys and using the power button to make a selection

Once you report the results of this, we can help you get your phone to a completely factory state.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Garageguy05:
Pink banner says LOCKED.

Assuming this means phone is still running the stock ROM and hasn't been tampered with.

Thoughts?

GG
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
This is a good sign that your phone really is stock (not guaranteed, but very likely). Under Settings > About phone, what is the version of Android and Sense reported?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Garageguy05:
HTC Sense 4.1

Software Number 2.17.605.2 710RD

Also, am attaching a grab of the bootloader screen.

Thanks,

GG
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Everything looks good and up-to-date. The only step I would take further to make sure everything is factory stock is to use the factory reset feature. Unfortunately, this will wipe all of your data and you'll have to start from scratch (the phone will automatically detect your activation, so you won't have to call Verizon or anything like that). If you want to try this: go to Settings > Storage > Factory data reset. Beyond this, there is nothing more you should have to do to convince your workplace that your phone is completely stock. This is likely a software bug on their end.

Inevitably, someone is going to reply below me suggesting to run the RUU. Your phone is already on the latest software and the factory reset feature actually performs more resets than the RUU alone does - it is unnecessary.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Garageguy05:
Thank you - I appreciate the insights.

GG
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
Try running the RUU. LOL. Just kidding. As mdmower said, there's no need.

While it is possible that an engineering hboot is installed and the phone is actually s-off and the information on the screen in your picture is spoofed, its quite unlikely. Even if it is, unless you have superuser installed, you're not rooted.

As a remote possibility, MobileIron might be able to detect if a custom recovery is installed. For grins, check to see if you have a custom recovery installed. Follow the same steps in mdmower's post. On the HBOOT screen, using the volume down/up button and navigate to the "RECOVERY" item,then press power to select.

If you see something like this, then you have stock recovery. If you see anything else, then its custom.

(disclaimer: Its been a long time since I have had a stock recovery, so I don't really remember what the Dinc4g stock recovery warning screen looks like)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Garageguy05:
Issue resolved!

So, it turns out that the Titanium Backup Pro that I had downloaded, but not activated or configured, was tripping up Mobile Iron. Evidently MI scans for programs requiring root, and if it finds one, it balks. I had simply grabbed TBP while reinstalling the apps on the Incredible 4 I had on my DINC2, and not had a chance to do anything with it. Not that I could have, as it requires root and the phone hasn't been rooted.

What a pain.

Thanks again for all the help -

GG
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
IMHO, that's a stupid way to look for a rooted phone. There are several programs (e.g. ES File Explorer) that work great on a non-rooted phone, but have the capability to work with a rooted phone as well. If MI picks up on programs such as these, you can't use a great file explorer and must find something else? Bah. I really hope my company doesn't go that route. I suppose if they do, they'll have a much less productive and much harder to reach employee...
