Body Glove Vibe mini review

[weisjt]

Yeah it's a corporate store. Being the only corporate store in our town, I'm sure they feel the need to gouge everyone any chance they can though.

if it a corporate store then they do not have the ability to change prices is clearly says on the site that it is 5 dollars and sold in stores so i would go back and get it.

I also might add that the blue is pretty bright and is definitely too bright for my taste. I work in an office and the phone sitting on my desk looks like a toy. JMO - it takes away from it's professional, premium look. I'll be returning mine.

It is very vivid, and to each his/her own for sure. I disagree that it looks like a toy though. The paint job is really well done and it reminds me of the rally Subaru WRX blue.

Again though, color is a preference. At first I thought it might be too much but it's really grown on me. The case and the color. Certainly isn't a neutral color though. lol

Just an opinion. Also, it's as slippery as a wet bar of soap! I've dropped it twice today...another reason i'll be returning it.

Yes it can be very slippery, but I really like the color and design.

I haven't had an issue at all with it being too slippery. I find that it's the perfect size to add a bit more grip.

It is slippery if you have smooth hands like me. If you have a little sweaty hands, then yeah, it is very grippy.

haha Yeah, must be. I have big hands, maybe a little sweaty. It does tend to add grip I guess, but it's not like I'm a sweat hog. lol

I actually found my matte slider to be much harder to grip than the smoother cases for some reason.

I received the black Vibe today. It's a very nice case, same build and quality as the blue. It has a slight glitter effect against the light but not feminine at all, very slick looking. Sorry if the pics aren't that great.

While you can see the small sparkle in normal use, against the light is when it shows up best. In person it's a nice touch.

I'll try and get pics of the phone in the case when I get home if anyone is interested.

Gotta admit though, as vibrant as the blue is, I've really fallen in love with it. Not sure which I like better, I am a big fan of black though. Easily 2 of my favorite cases.

I also just purchased a black matte Incipio Feather that came with 2 screen shields and neither the black nor blue cause a problem with lifting it up.

That's the first I've seen of the black one and while I too am partial to the blue, the black looks REALLY nice.

 

[AuroraProject]

Agreed, the blue is still tops for me, but that black finish is very nice looking. Thanks!

The black is fresh. I have the blue one and it's way too vibrant for me. Wonder if the black one will make it to the stores soon.

 

[Ferris23]

I got it 15.00 shipped from Amazon (from SF Planet). Not sure about locally as I've only seen the blue at AT&T.

Here are some random pics:

Velvety goodness

I really have to comment again on great the finish is on these cases. They hold up amazingly well to scratches too (I don't see any). In total I paid 20.00 and some change for both, 5.00 locally and 15.00 online

I found it hard to get good lighting in doors, as anyone who has one of these cases knows the color and finish looks even better in person. A solid all around case with excellent quality. Ok I'm done. Lol
