Default Has Anyone Seen A Soft Jelly TPU Type Case For Epic Yet?

I would really like to find one of these more flexible cases.

For God sakes you can't leave it in the general topic section for at least an hour before burying it here? May your slider get loose and fall off! !

Post it in the right spot and it wouldn't be an issue


FWIW, creating the subforums weren't my idea. But when you look at the D.Inc and Evo forums it becomes very evident that they are needed.

Also, if you didn't know, you can set up your favorite forums from the main page and check the subforums and all in one quick "click." It's like you never even knew there were subforums!

i think for those of you that get on the moderators' case for moving threads, you're missing the fact that on large forums such as androidforums, moving threads to the proper subforum allows for a lot of the website/forum to run smoother. "Search" becomes more accurate. Duplicate/Redundant threads are less likely to happen.

It's understandable that every contributing member of these forums is here for his/her own personal needs, but please keep in mind that the moderators/administrators have to consider the entire androidforum community as a whole, not just each individual member.

The mods here are great! And do a great job of keeping everything organized, especially in the phone specific forums where it could be a complete maze of trying to find information.

As for the TPU case, I haven't seen a single one made yet. I'd imagine that the only reason it hasn't been made is due to the EPIC needing to be a 2 piece case and my guess is that it would be a little more difficult to make with a TPU/soft gel mold.

The problem is no one looks in these sub forums much. Then the questions almost NEVER get answered. So whats the use then?

Wow I think only 2 posts on this entire thread had anything to do with your original question.


Furthermore, I too would really just care more for a jellylike case that covers the entire phone and not have the keyboard slide out at all. I could of cared less about the keyboard on this phone.

I would have much rather preferred to not have a keyboard at all. I almost wonder If I could have gotten away with putting all my internals in a gsm version or something and just leaving the keyboard unhooked somehow.

But if anyone comes across a 1 piece jelly case just post it here please.

That's probably because there's not much else to say, since there aren't any jelly or TPU cases out yet...LOL. I look for either every single day, so I definitely would share the information if it was available.

Those silicone cases didnt work on the Palm Pre(slider also).
They didnt design them with clips to hold on like the hard plastic cases.Thus they just slipped off constantly.
The best case I found was a hard plastic with a rubberized coating, like they sell on Ebay.
Those give just enough grip.

Only problem with the ones on ebay right now is they block the LED charging light on the front of the phone.

There is a schedule release for a TPU Gel case in October. Boxwave, Ebay - (DCmugen), (E-story) - Big TPU case sellers, will have these cases. Ebay there expected to be released right around the first week of October but that is only a estimate.


The pre model has been released for review and the colors that will be available are - Blue, Dark Gray, Black, Clear, Pink, Purple ( still being decided ), Orange ( still being decided ), Green ( this is under development ).

I found that a while back. Did a quick search art that time and that website had multiple bad comments left about them on different forums. Some people didn't even receive orders they placed.
