Accessories EBay Silicone Slider Case.. Yes I Said Silicone

Not open for further replies.
I know the mods will move this but I wanted to post this here so more people could see this. Its a decent case except the color is a butt ugly putty color they called smoke. Why they don't have black I don't know it was this or bright blue neon green or pink!
The way this works is the case itself has slider rails built into it so it CAN"T fall off. It covers everything is very shock absorbing and wont interfere with a screen protector. For $10 I'm going to keep it for now but as soon as I find a black one I'm grabbing it also. This case also keeps the slider somewhat locked closed and I like that. Here are some pictures.

Thanks for posting this, but wow it's ugly. And i'm not just talking about the color. The way it covers the front seems poorly designed. You can still see a part of "samsung" on the front. Also, the fact that its squared off makes the phone larger than it already is.

I'm kind of disappointed. But for 10 bucks...its at least cheap.

Yea it fits better than it looks. It does make the phone a bit larger because of the square top and bottom but it has to be made this way because of the slider rails. If you notice the corners are huge because of this squaring off so the drop protection would be very good vs a hard type case.

Hi everyone! What about this one on Ebay? Looks like it might keep the slider closed "which I would like" but can't tell because the picture is of another Galaxy S phone.

For Samsung Epic 4G Black Silicone Cover Skin Gel Case - eBay (item 390249301912 end time Nov-05-10 18:14:01 PDT)


I e mailed this guy to verify it will be the correct back/style for the Epic. So far I have not heard back from them. I will report back.

I was kind of hoping for a side "Bumper" that would just keep the slider closed permanently and protect the camera lens from scratching as well as the screen from making contact with a drop LOL. With swype, I don't really use the keyboard much so I put a fat blue rubber band around the phone just to see what a bumper would look like. It was pretty ghetto but if it were a real quality bumper I would probably get one

Its an ebay case, Just put "Samsung Epic silicone" in the ebay search window. Its now offered in black and it looks much better. On this case I cut off the strip of rubber that goes over the "Samsung" just above the function keys and it looks much better. Of all the cases I own for the Epic including the Active-X by Seidio I still think this affords the best all around crash protection. The phone is very well padded in this case.

click the photo for the black version.

Wow XTC, you are the master of cases huh, lol. Good to know that this case is best for crash protection since I don't have any insurance on my phone (besides the 1 yr. from manufacturer). Is there any holster that can hold this in place??

Ill try it in my Seidio holster and let you know. Yea I must have 10 or more cases for this thing.

Hilarious. He moved them to another forum (Androidcentral.com), because the pictures are his and he doesn't want his pictures contributing to the traffic/popularity of this forum (Androidforums.com). Why? Because the relationship he had with the moderators here went south.

I'm just laughing, not making any judgements. :)
Yes it is hilarious.

In another thread he states "Yes, Im tired of being treated like a two year old. " Well then, if you follow the rules or the organizational structure of these forums, then the staff would not have to move threads around. (Which is the basis of his leaving the forums). Proof of the matter is posting in the main section an accessory topic and stating "well I know the mods will move it". To me that is cluttering the forums, unnecessary and downright total disregard for the rules, inconsiderate to both members and staff. Staff that are trying to keep things in order and members having to look for topics in the correct place.

Whether the member feels like coming back it up to them, but the staff will continue to do what is necessary to keep order.

Now since the OP has decided to remove his images from the thread, then there is no longer any reason to keep this thread open.
