Do not puchase this product from SF Planet. The case they are selling is produced by Fosmon instead of by Lux as is represented here. The case produced by Lux is high quality, fits perfectly and is well worth the money. However, the case produced by Fosmon is very poor quality, too large to fit the phone and is completely useless. Amazon should investigate this seller for misrepresenting its products. Premium Soft Argyle Flexi TPU Gel Skin Case Cover for Samsung Fascinate, Smoke Checkers
The $20 price tag of many of the cases in the Verizon store led me to search elsewhere, especially since they seem so cheap and flimsy. I was pretty particular about the kind of case I wanted for my new Fascinate, and none of the in-store cases met my requirements either, so I decided to try a couple from Amazon. This gel skin case met all of my requirements and then some:
-Slides easily in and out of my pocket - this eliminated most rubberized and silicone cases. This gel case is slick to the touch, but still provides more grip than the naked phone.
-Minimal interference with the front face of the phone - another plastic case I tried from Amazon covered too much of the edge of the front face, making it difficult to move icons between screens and initiate Android's drop-down status bar.
-Soft/flexible - with hard cases, when the phone vibrates and it's sitting on a hard surface (e.g. on my desk at work) the vibration is extremely loud. Soft cases absorb much of the sound.
-Soft to the touch - another hard rubberized case I tried eventually started to feel rough, like very fine sandpaper. Completely distracts from from the overall appeal of the phone.
-Case cannot make any noise - a plastic case I tried from the Verizon store "creaked" whenever I would use the phone and as the plastic flexed. It wasn't loud, but enough of a sound to drive me crazy and cheapen the feel of the phone.
So overall, this gel skin case met or exceeded all of my requirements and I have been very happy with it. To address some of the concerns of other reviewers, I actually like how the case completely covers the side volume and power buttons (as opposed to allowing them to be exposed). The buttons seem to fix snug inside the interior indention for those buttons, so it protects them well.
Also, as some reviewers have noted, this case allows the "natural beauty" of the Fascinate to show through, and is the best aspect of this case. Although I could have done without the argyle pattern on the back, the case is hardly noticeable when looking at the front face -- it barely comes up over the side, allowing for maximum exposure of the screen and soft keys.
Love this skin! It camouflages very nicely with the phone that you think the argyle pattern is actually your phone's back cover! Don't be fooled by the lighting in the photo, the skin really is a dark/smoky gray. Fits great, no complaints at all.
I agree with all of the other positive reviews, in that it is easy in and out of the pocket, as well as not covering too much of the front of the phone. I have been using a Platinum Series 2 piece snap on case purchased from Best Buy since buying the phone. While I felt that case provided great protection, it made the phone feel huge and heavy.
I purchased this case from CrazyOnDigital through Amazon for my black Samsung Fascinate. I am very pleased with the look and feel of the case, although I am certain that I received a clear one, rather than a smoke one. I verified that my order receipt did say "Smoke Checkers," and CrazyOnDigital doesn't even have a clear one that I could find, so I have no idea how that happened.
Regardless of whether it is "Smoke Checkers" or "Clear Checkers" I don't care. I'm just happy to have a nice, slim, CHEAP case. I paid $20 for the bulky one that I couldn't stand. I paid less than $3 for this one.
My boyfriend has a white Samsung Fascinate, and prior to seeing this case, wanted to just go "naked" due to loving the slim feel of the phone. When he saw my case, he said he wanted one. It looks even better on his phone because the checkered pattern is more muted. I posted pictures of the case on each phone. Enjoy!
For 2 bucks and change I was not expecting much. It works great and looks OK. It sticks well on most surfaces but you can still get it in and out of your pocket easily. If I bought again I would go for one with more color, or the clear one.
I bought mine from OEM planet and it is a great case. Awesome shipping. It practically molds to the phone. It was a lot darker than I expected, but It looks really nice on my Fascinate. Only problems I have is: The case makes my volume buttons very touchy, like it's pushing down on them constantly or something. Maybe it's just me. I can live with it. And it's REALLY hard to take the case off. Lol. Some people might not consider that a complaint. But when you like to tamper with your phone like rooting or flashing roms, there's a lot of battery pulling. And this case just stays on it too well, so it's hard to get to the battery. Lol. But it is a very, VERY good case, especially for the price. 5 stars, definitely. - Cell Phone Protector - Faceplates - Samsung - Fascinate'
