Anyone have an alternative? Just want a 'one handed grip'! - Kindle Fire Accessories

I want a cheaper alternative to the Marware Hybrid case-
http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Leathe...=fiona-hardware&ie=UTF8&qid=1325074588&sr=1-2
The main reason I won't get the slimmer/cheaper Acase is because I want the One-Handed Grip that the Marware offers...
Anyone know of anything similar, or a sale?

Just got this in the mail today. It has an elastic band for the front cover, but when it is folded back you can use the band to hold it in one hand. I like it so far..

Thanks for this! Been looking for something just like this. There was one in another post for $8, but I'll give the extra $3 for the looks

NTK Keyboard case

Much cheaper than the other one.

This is the kind of case I'm looking for but I hate the shiney leather on the fron !!!!. Would prefer matt which is less gaudy. Would it be easy to import to UK and reupholster it i ask myself. Other alternatives are the? Vision one witch most don't like. A USB one Witch I don't expect to work on eBay ,although it is being advertised as zoom compatable i think that's purely
on the premises than its 10 inch. Or more sweet to go for a leather portfolio and separate KB b.t ?
Ahh decisions, decisions

Folio simple leather cover

While searching ebay, I came across an interesting leather cover for the SGS2. It's a little costly but I like that it's sleek yet protects the phone from scratches. Just can't imagine how the thing stays on!
Folio simple leather case cover
Look good. I think they replace your battery cover, that's the only way they could stay on.
Right, that makes sense! Thanks!
Let us know how it goes. looks gd.
I'm still trying to do some research about which cover to get, and came across the Korean page.
Looks like the folio has some antibacterial properties!
I might "break the bank" *as regards the price for phone covers, and purchase one of these, can anyone give a review assuming someone has already purchased one of these.:
Quite like the look of it and the "idea" of it replacing the battery cover.
Shame I already bought a Zenus cover for mine :/
Let us know if you get it, would be good to know if it works well.
Haven't bought the case yet. I read that it has antibacterial properties, which made me re-think about it.
BTW, I came across another cool Korean leather case:

I'm looking for light-weight leather cases but am not sure which one to get at the moment! Any thoughts about this?

Bodyglove kickstand case

Check this one out:

And is cheaper here:
http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=28550
Doesn't look like it protects the top or bottom though.
Just got one on eBay for under $18 and free shipping. Should get here by next week. I will post a quick review after I try it out.
I wonder if there the same as the tmobile version they have a few cases
do not like it standing straight up.

Thats not what she said...
I just picked up one of these a couple hours ago at a local sprint shack. I do wish it had a bit more coverage, specifically top and bottom. But I've found (through multiple drops already) that the phone itself is pretty sturdy, it's just that the battery cover pops off way too easy, which usually equals battery popping out as well. So this case will do what I mainly want, which is to keep the battery in And I think the kickstand will be useful!
i just saw one hands on for a co-workers phone. i actually like it. found it on amazon for $15.93 (free shipping) and ebay for $13.99 (free shipping). i like the white case-mate pop, but this seems a bit thinner with a better kick-stand.
Just bought one off ebay for 13.99. I have the pop case which I like, but it is too thick
I ordered mine from Amazon, $13.26 with free shipping. will give feedback once received.
Got mine the other day (my 7th case for the touch...). It doesn't cover the top or bottom very well but it is thinner than the casemate pop case. If you want thin and a kickstand, this is the way to go.
Like mine, it stands up fine on its side (landscape).
I wish there was a non-textures version
mine arrived yesterday and so far I really like it. was surprised at how nice it looks too, very sleek but still the manly style. the kickstand is sturdy and due to the size, my phone still fits the same leather holster and the garmin windshield holder.

this is the exact one I'm using... will likely always use this brand as they make good quality products.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QQED5O
they have it in all black as well, just search around on Amazon.
This case also fits in the seidio surface holster as well.
FYI for anyone interested in this case. I just ordered one on ebay for $8.99 with free shipping. It is on "Sale" from $9.99 for the next 6 days (until 12/19/11?) according to the ebay post.
Just search on ebay for "Body Glove Samsung Epic 4G Touch". The pic shows the gray version but the model number is correct and it only comes in black for the ET4G.
I got the cibo s case but thinking maybe cancel that and get this. how much thickness does it add?
I just got this case yesterday, and so far I'm pleased with the sturdiness and build. It does add some bulk to the back of the phone. On the phone without a case, the bottom back of the phone sticks out more versus the top of the phone. With this case, it now has a flat back with a little more girth. That will give you a sense of how much thickness the case adds to the phone. Hope that makes sense.
I do wish this case was a little grippier (if that's a word). Still a little slick in my hands, but easy to get in and out of my pockets. Overall, I'm please with this case, especially for the price. My main thing I needed in a case was the kickstand. My son watches shows on my phone when we are out and it makes it so much more convenient with this case.

just got the body glove case in the mail, the kickstand is a really useful feature but I feel the cibo s case offers much better grip since it has a cross hash pattern on the edges. I say protection wise it's better also because the top/bottom are not open (and I suspect if the phone were to ever fall, it would pop out of the body glove). the extra thickness is not a problem though.

I dont think there is one that adds a kickstand without adding some bulk
I picked up:
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...te-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-Pop-with-Stand-Cases.asp
From Amazon UK
Attached an image to give you an idea of how much bulk it adds, hope it helps. The case feels great and offers good protection.
The kickstand, although it feels flimsy, supports the phone perfectly (at least for now).
I just got this one, Doesnt add any more bulk than a standard TPU case except for the two little hinge bumps

a couple other pics:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Clear-Soft-...932810?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a77f957ca
I got clear because I love the color of my phone but they have different colors available. It doesnt add any extra bulk as the standard S line tpu cases except what I said before the two little hinge bumps
I think this case looks phenominal imho. Nice and slim and comes with a holster clipto protect the front.

I have this: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-active-kickstand-case-black-p/csk3ssgs3k-bk.htm
ive always been a fan of the active cases. this is certainly a more sturdy option, i think the build quality and fit is really good.
its probably on the thinner side of kickstand cases while still offering some good protection.
edit, technically i bought it from amazon for 5 bucks cheaper: http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-ACTIVE...=1344710931&sr=8-14&keywords=galaxy+s3+seidio
I got this one from ebay. It's perfect except for the fact that top and bottom aren't completely covered.

looks to be the same one I posted above except the ebay one doesn't appear to come with the holster.
Sad, because it really is practically a perfect case with the holster.

Replace back cover with something softer like leather

Hey everyone.
Im looking for an accesory for my SGS3. I want to replace the plastic back cover with another one made from a different material, like leather if possible. Something like the back of the new Nexus 5 or the new back cover of the Note 3. Something that feels better to the touch and that is easier to hold and doesn't feel slippery when your hands have sweat.
Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone replace their back cover with something different?
Suggestions?
Or maybe install something on top of the back. Another solution would be a case that protects the full phone.
Thanks.
There are vinyl skins available.
Search this forum for info.. :thumbup:
I had the same need. The standard back was too slippery. I tried various and then found one called the Incipio Feather. It's a very thin case which clips on and has a rubberised feel (a bit like the back of my old HTC Desire). You hardly notice its there, but it is a big improvement over the standard back.
On amazon UK its there for £5.99...
Just try glueing leather
