Okay, this is definitely the best case I've ever had (Other MT4G cases I've had are: silicone, black rubberized hard case, and clear hard case). It does add some bulk, however. The material is very high quality and sturdy. There is NO creaking or anything like that. The video right above pretty much shows you everything about it, so I won't go into those details because it is much more effective to actually see it. If I can get a picture of my phone next to another MT4G without a case, I will post that. While it does add some thickness, you can't get true protection like this without a little thickness. Overall, it is a very high quality case, and I am happy with it. If you have any questions, just ask, and I will answer them for you.

Does this case like to collect dust that's all I need to know before I order it
[myTouch 4G Accessories] JawjaBill:
Ordered on ePay from the Oregon seller. It arrived at my doorstep here in the SE in 2 days. Nice case - the design is well thought out and most of all, IT FITS! I kept the Realook and it took a minute or two to install. Looking through their current product offering, I see holsters and I am hopeful one will follow soon for this case.

I've have had it in my pocket for a few hours and no dust so far.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Killbynature:
Ok thanks ordering now can't afford to have my screen crack again even order zagg skin so I wouldn't scratch the back of the phone.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Kid Poker:
I don't see any on eBay. Its all for the Evo, Vibrant, or iPhone 4
[myTouch 4G Accessories] ChodTheWacko:
How hard is the case to take off? I was planning on charging batteries via external charger.

- Frank
[myTouch 4G Accessories] rosebud1:
I think the case is sold out for now.

Also, the case is not hard to take off at all. I did it yesterday while I was driving a manual car in traffic on the highway. Lol...

And one side note, I do notice that the outer silicone case around the edges of the phone does attract some lint after being in a linty pocket, but I love the case overall.

[myTouch 4G Accessories] 2leaponover1:
too bad it doesn't come with the kickstand. I'll stick with the one i got from tmobile now. The kickstand is absolutely invaluable.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Don_Perrignon:
Oh hell... I just watch the video. Nice. The deal maker for me was finally finding a quality screen protector that covers the entire front side. I also like the fact that the hard case is easy to take off.

Buying this now. Amazon Prime....

Edit: Screw Amazon on this one. "Takes two to three weeks to ship" - yet they have it on Prime. Will just buy directly from the makers.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] acerunner:
Does the screen protector effect the proximity sensor? I've had the proximity sensor lock up the phone from being able to hang up on some screen protectors.

[myTouch 4G Accessories] Don_Perrignon:
Got mine today finally. The thing is nice. It does make it slightly bulky, but it has nice protection. I can't really describe how well thought out the design is until you begin putting the case on - but its nice.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Onefast:
Don't try to use it with a invisible shield... Doesn't really fit... Shame

Edit: it fits now, lots of dremel work, but it is now double protected!
[myTouch 4G Accessories] kryptik06:
Just ordered this can't wait for it to come in
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Onefast:
Yeah, it's nice and sturdy. I thought I would hate how thick it is, but really its a good trade off for the protection it gives...
[myTouch 4G Accessories] ChodTheWacko:
I got the case. It is quite nice.

Something I haven't seen mentioned is the rubber 'ring' going around the phone.

It sort of hooks onto the front/back of the case, so it's not going to come off accidentally.

The case is extremely easy to take off, much easier than the TPU fusion.

- Frank
[myTouch 4G Accessories] ChodTheWacko:
Some more notes:

The soft ring definitely attracts lint. Not a deal breaker - worth the trade off I think, since it's 'cushioning'.

One thing I definitely don't like is it makes the trackpad harder to use.

Because it is 'raised' it is awkward to scroll 'down', or left/right if you are landscape. I tend to use the trackpad for moving the cursor around a line of text (I have fat fingers) and this is a bit annoying.

I don't call it a dealbreaker by any means but I need to get used to it.

- Frank
[myTouch 4G Accessories] rosebud1:
one thing that does help the lint I have noticed is taking the rubber piece off and spraying it with windex and wiping it down dry with a paper towel before putting it back on.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] :
The only thing negative for me is that it can be a bit difficult to get the cover off of the 3.5mm audio port, but not too bad. Maybe I just have huge fingers.

I leave the little audio plug extension connected to my car audio cable.

I can see how the trackpad would be more difficult to use, but... I didn't use it anyway, so not a problem for me.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] rosebud1:
I have had that problem too. I just use the actual headphone Jack I'm about to plug into The hole to pry it open. Works really well. Lol.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] sevuth:
I just ordered this beast. Can't wait to get it.

I'm in AIT for the army, and seeing everyone with their iPhones in bulky otterboxes or droids ... its killer.

Update

- Don't cut your finger nails to short if you use the headphone jack:p.

- Using my car mount, it now likes to squeeze the camera button and take pictures over bumps. :rolleyes:
[myTouch 4G Accessories] mcsven:
Awesome case. Solid case fits perfect and looks awesome. It comes with an audiojack extender because the the case makes it impossible to plug some stuff in. The cap for it can be a task to remove. The extender can be fidgety, e.g. causing Pandora to rapidly switching back and forth from play to pause. Some dust gets in the open areas for front camera and sensor but cause any problems.

Screen protector is perfect. Gel gets dusty and adds a lot of bulk (not always bad) and feels nice in your hands. Some might not like the bulk aesthetically but youre wrong. This is better than the new trident case.

Definitely recommend this. Needs better audiojack, a kickstand, and battery enhancement through the pins but im just dreamin.

:eek:free shipping? nice find. I got mine for nine cheaper at $24.40 :p

i cant post links (or apparently even quote yours..) and it requires a coupon code thats prolly temp
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Jaylito.:
bought this case for $30. it's not even worth it. adds so much bulk, &even if makes your phone look safe and secure.. the case doesnt help protect it! it adds so much weight & I dropped it one time &it already cracked & the screen protector scratched.

purchased the tpu fusion case, so much better! makes it light. & NO additional bulk. I dropped it with the case on and it padded the drop!
[myTouch 4G Accessories] ChodTheWacko:
I have both the TPU Fusion and the Trident Cyclops, and there is no way the Fusion will protect your phone better. The outside rim of the Cyclops is a softer rubber. You can't compare drops, since you never drop the phone the exact same way.

The fusion does add less bulk and is probably a bit lighter, but better protection? No way.

- Frank
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Re-TARDIS:
Witch is the better case for protection, the aegis or cyclops?

My mytouch 4g
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Jaylito.:
yeah the softer rubber rim will only protect the phone if u somehow drop it on it's sides.. that's not always the case. I dropped mine on it's back, and part of the first layer by where the headphone jack connects chipped. tpu won't chip. so that's my point because in fact I did drop my phone with the tpu fusion the same way on it's back. just saying overall its a better case then the trident.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] rosebud1:
There is no way a tpu fusion case will offer more protection. Drop it on the screen and see what happens.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] masterjack98:
I really do love this case design for the myTouch 4g. I’ve even received positive comments from friends on the rugged look of the case.

I really like that most of the dust access point are covered up, but still accessible and fully functional. The screen over the earpiece and speaker is a really nice feature.

I wonder though if the same screen over the “vent” holes on the back of the case would be a logical place to put some? I’m sure it has something to do with additional cost (I of course could be wrong) but I personally would be willing to pay more for THIS case for the added protection.

The polycarbonate case fits the myTouch 4g perfectly, like the proverbial glove. It is sturdy and gives me confidence that it’s providing a substantial level of protection to my device.

The silicon ring is a very nice touch and seals the deal for me (no pun intended). It softens the feel of the entire assembly, covers the open jacks nicely, and grips well on flat surfaces.

Overall I’m very happy with the Trident Cyclops Protective Case for the myTouch 4g.

I do have a couple of issues, one potentially being a manufactures’ defect. First the potential defect.

The top back of the polycarbonate case that I received less than a week ago is peeling around the camera lens hole, it resembles peeling sunburned skin. The plastic underneath the blemish is shiny with some black plastic showing through. My case has not been exposed to any unusual abrasion and like I said is less than a week old so really should not be showing this kind of wear yet. I’m sure it doesn’t diminish the protection the case provides.

The second is the silicon ring. It fits well around the polycarbonate shell but, on the sides front and back it’s pretty loose. It’s reminiscent of loose elastic on a cheap pair of tighty-whiteys. That maybe an unintended consequence of using silicon for that part I’m not sure. It’s mostly just annoying, though it potentially could let in more debris every time I pull the phone out of my pockets. I think if nothing else I’ll apply a thin layer of adhesive to the ring to help alleviate the problem.

I ordered mine from cyclopscase dot com

Apprently they are a subsideray of trident case, they also sold me mine for 10 dollars cheaper which may account for the problems I'm having with my case.

Oh, does anyone know if is that a lanyard hole on the bottom left backside of the case?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Onefast:
Same thing here, peeling around the camera hole. Whatever, I dropped my phone onto some abrasive concrete, and nothing on the phone... Couple knicks on the case, but isn't that what it's for? I figured I'd just let the faux rubber coating wear off, until my aegis case gets here...
[myTouch 4G Accessories] tpma4life:
So how is the screen protector? Is it cheap 3 dollar disposable quality, or is it one of those use for two weeks and dump ones?

This or Aegis? I just got a mytouch and while this case looks...sexy, I want the best protection for it.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] rosebud1:
If you like a color for the aegis, go with that one! It is a little bit slimmer due to the silicon being on the inside, instead of the outside. But I went with the black and grey cyclops because I liked that color scheme the best. Overall, they are both great cases!! Can't go wrong!
[myTouch 4G Accessories] wartime71:
Had it for like a month and the rubber casing became loose from putting on and removing a couple times other than that its great
[myTouch 4G Accessories] tvotony:
Um if you don't like silicon then do not buy
[myTouch 4G Accessories] d12unk13astard:
The trident Aegis case is straight up sickness!!! I had ordered one of them tpu fusion cases first from amazon for like 5 dollars, it was nice and had a good feel to it but was just too stiff. If i had dropped it i know the screen most likely would have cracked, with this Aegis silicone and external fabricated cover you can tell it's quality when u hold it, sure it might attract a little dust here n there but it definetly adds to the look and feel of the phone. Overall i'd give the case a 9/10

It does also come with a screen protector but i aint gonna lie it feels rather cheap when applied lol

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimpsnest:
I don't think I've ever bought a phone upon it's release date. Last time I bought from VZW was in my pre-Eris days when I had an LG VX8700 (still my fav non-smart-phone).

Anyway, in anticipation of this TBolt launch, where would you guys expect to see the best pricing? I don't know if the corporate stores, Amazon or Best Buy, or VZW online or a satellite kiosk traditionally have the best pricing/rebates, etc.>

Just looking for the most bang for my buck I guess.

I do find it ridiculous that they've not announced pricing. If they are "coming soon" they have to know this crap. :cool:
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
if your looking for online then go for Wirefly if your also getting a new contract( i wouldnt but thats me)

of if your looking for full price either amazon or bestbuy. i suspect it will be sold out quick so bestbuy's preorder would make sure you get dibs
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimpsnest:
Yeah, I'll be doing a new contract, NO way in hellz I'm going to pay full retail for the bugger.

I wonder if BB will let me in on their "buy back" program for free if I pre-order this week. I guess that new service is free this week only. ?

I will find out.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
Im paying full $600+ :D

id say Wirefly as they give a ridiculous discount. but dont break their contract or you will be paying out the ass to them
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimpsnest:
Been with VZW since '98, I doubt I'll jump ship in the next 24 months. I just need to make sure that whatever I do w/the phone it does NOT affect my monthly pricing (I've got that great 69.99 plan for unlimited text, data, 450 minutes and 5 friends and family #'s).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andydumi:
Wirefly is good on some phones, but Amazon is sometimes better with their discounts.

I will be adding two of these to an existing plan, and porting numbers over from ATT, so I think I will see who offers the best deal. Including calling VZW directly and pitching them whatever lowest price I find online.

ATT's sales/retention has always matched Amazon prices for me in the past and without the pesky secondary ETF to worry about.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aodmisery:
how do you get that plan cause im gonna be a new costumer but dont want to pay 90 dollars for the same plan.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andydumi:
Its probably grandfathered in from long ago. Much like ATT will let you keep an existing unlimited data plan, but they no longer offer it to new customers.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimpsnest:
It was a special pricing plan but it ended on 1/31. You had to be "invited" by VZW to get it -or- had to call in to customer service and ask REAL nice about their loyalty program.

My contract was due to be up this year, so I think that's how I got it.
[Nook Color General] yan2000kee:
Hi guys - and apologies in advanced if this has been answered already.

[Nook Color General] JaysFreaky:
I went into Best Buy to perhaps buy a NC, only to see that all supplies have been pulled and won't be available until the 14th.

I've heard this could be an attempt by B&N to try and block rooting from happening by updating the hardware.

Has anyone else seen anything about it?
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
Yes, it was false. :D

I always wonder how people only hear the first part of a rumor (for example the minimum requirements for Gingerbread and then again minimum requirements for Honeycomb) but never the second part saying the rumor was untrue.

Anyway, yes, that rumor is 100% false. :D
[Nook Color General] projectedv:
In Stock

I went to a B&N last week (San Diego, CA) and was told they would restock soon and the nook salesperson asked if I wanted to be placed on a waiting list and that they would call/email me once they had stock.

I received a call and email saying that it is in stock and that they would hold it for 48 hours:

And I was able to use 2x groupon for discount! =D

Help please

I have a Galaxy i9000 (UK) unfortunately like many others I decided to use the latest Kies software it went through the upgrade to froyo 2.21 however I had not removed Ryan lagfix or unrooted the phone first.

Now any efforts to reflash fails at the last stage giving error message "Complete (write) operation failed" and the phone will not reboot

Pit and Re-partition works and states "pass" I have tried everything I know and followed lots of other thread suggestions (probably to make it worse)

Thank you in advance for anyone that has the answer, I am not technical enough to play around with any indepth reprogramming so simple answers please
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donald Nice:
Do a clean flash with an eclair firmware like JM8 with 512 pit and repartition ticked. After flashing go to recovery and do a factory reset and a cache wipe... Have you tried this?

You can also try to format the internal sdcard if its not working and you have a backup of your data.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbohm:
Or try jpc it is allways a safe bet (for ex. from samfirmware repartition with pit)

Happened often u can fix it no problem ;-) don't be afraid
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostozzie:
Thank you

Thank you very much for the JPC suggestion, after a long and painful download 9 I am using a 3G dongle as i am away from home) I managed to firstly flash the Samfirmware.com JPC file using the 803 Pit, using Odin 1.7 and all 3 files, with re-partition ticked - it failed however it did manage to restore the Galaxy start screen

I then unticked re-partition and removed the Pit file and reflashed the 3 files and it finally loaded successfully. after 5 days of trying everything I now have a factory reset phone, hopefully my back ups will work if not I am still really happy so thank you both
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostozzie:
JPC update

Good morning guys

I have reconnected to Kies and get the message "this version of the device cannot be updated"

I have just tried to flash I9000XWJS5 without success,

at this stage I should be happy that my phone works again however it would be good to get 2.21 if possible as the standard version lag still drives me crazy

the internal Sd has been reformatted, reset to factory default, wiped user data etc. meesages are either same as before "write fail" or when successful phone wont turn back on.

Do I need a different version for the UK - with O2?

Thanks again in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecrucible:
I know you just got over a hairy situation with your phone but I would suggest the Odin and Samfirmware route. I am currently running XWJS5 installed through Odin and it is pretty snappy.

Just be sure not to tick "re-partition", that's what worked for me.

So why should i Root? if you know any good themes or Roms please post links to them.

[Droid X Themes and Apps] mattmartin77:
there was a very long thread on this actually. it amazes me that people dont use the search option. and computer dreams is right, if you dont know what it does, you shouldnt do it. plus this should be in the general section since its neither a theme, nor an app.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] jcutter347:
root?

I also agree with computer dreams. You should do as much research as possible. There is so much you can do with the DX after rooting. Rubix is an excellent choice for a ROM as well. Smooth, fast, and has different themes. Know what you are doing before attempting. This can all be as easy or as hard as you decide to make it.
