[Streak 5 Accessories] treylemkn:
REVIEW!

Hey everyone! Just got my case in today that I ordered on ebay from seller dcmugen88. I purchased the "JET BLACK Epik Case TPU Jacket+anti Dell Streak Mini 5".

I ordered the case on December 12 for $4.99 and received it today. Free Shipping is included but the estimated shipping time was between 3 and 4 weeks. I was able to expedite the shipping for an additional $1.94 and delivery was estimated between Dec. 20th and Dec. 27th. So all in all, I paid $6.93 for the case and it took 12 days to receive. The seller is shipping from Hong Kong and I received it via USPS.

My first impression of the case upon opening was excellent. Here's a shot of the case in it's packaging.

Included with the case is a clear screen protector. This is a nice throw in...especially for $4.99. I don't currently have a screen protector on my streak, and I'm not sure that I'll apply this one. Since the screen is made from Gorilla Glass, it should be able to withstand normal wear and tear. I'm pretty easy on my gadgets as well...so I have that going for me =) But the screen protector looks to be your average mill. It's not the rubbery kind like the invisibleSHIELD made by ZAGG (which I had on my captivate and hated!).

Back to the case. The case is very sleek and thin. It's not much deeper than the streak itself. Here are a few photos without the phone in the case from different angles.

This is a form fitting case. I previously had a vinyl skin from Skinit. So when trying to put the case on, it was catching on the edge on the skin. I decided then and there to take the skin completely off and I'm glad I did. The case and phone together look NICE! It's the perfect combination with the black glossy case and large glossy screen. I forgot how good the phone looked with the full screen in all it's glory.

The functionality with the case on the streak is pretty good. You don't have access to the buttons on the side/top (depends on how you hold it). It definitely takes some extra pressure to control the volume and to press the wake/power button. This isn't a downfall though. I actually like having the buttons covered. It makes me feel like I won't press them inadvertently. There is a cutout for the 1/8 inch headphone jack for easy access.

You have full access to the PDMI port on the bottom/side of the phone. There is no plug in that covers the opening like in the otterbox cases.

Side view

The back of the case has a opening for the speaker, but there isn't one for the dell logo. I consider this a good thing since there is less chance to get debris/trash in the phone which could potentially scratch it. There is a cut out for the camera and dual LED flash as well.

OVERALL:

This is a great case! You can not beat the cost at roughly 5 bucks. I saw in earlier in the thread that some XDA members were buying their cases in the States, so you might find a better deal elsewhere (maybe somebody can post a link?).

My concern with cases in general is that they will be too bulky. This case is the opposite of that. I notice virtually no difference in the feel of the phone w/ the case on in my pocket. It does feel a little more substantial in the hand...but I think that's good. Having the phone with only a skin on it made me feel like I needed to handle it with kid gloves. That's not the case anymore (pun not intended).

There are many other colors available on the sellers ebay store. He also offers different deals. 5 for $15. 2 for $7. That kind of thing.

My sister and her husband just ordered the red unlocked streaks of dell.com and are due to receive them in January. They just ordered their clear cases tonight.

Okay...that's all I have. I hope this helped everybody and feel free to pm me or post in this thread.

Merry Christmas everyone!
