I ordered the black one and another person on this thread did so too.
It's a bit pricy, but I like the design. I hope it isn't too heavy or bulky. What's the use having the lightest phone out there to burden it down with a bad case. I also picked up one of the cheap <$5 silicon gel cases. Had good experiences with those in the past, but they are a bit bulky.

Yeah, it's a little pricey, but I like when I find something "Different". I've never seen something quite like these.
$18 isn't more than what T-Mobile wants. This case looks pretty nice though, not as bulky. I'm buying this one and the leather one from Zenus because it looks really good too. Now that one is pricey at about $40...
Bought a red one also last week. It's the color that stands outs to me. Also ordered a jelly case for full protection when I need it.
so are these made out of the same thing as the gel skins? like silicone?
or are they more of a hard material with a rubbery finish?
I love this unique design. It definitely stands out. I'm thinking of ordering the red or green case. Thanks for the link.
really like the design but there's an extra cutout on the top right corner above the camera

The Q&A answers your question
Q: Samsung T959 is identical to the i9000 btw. Anyway I'm wondering, is the case metal or plastic? Metal could affect the signal
A: Hello^^buyingallurstufs It is plastic. Thank you^^

LoL seller doesn't know about the Vibrant, but he might be getting more business from all the Tmobile buyer folks in the US.
Will this fit? According to both T-Mobile website specs and GSMArena specs the Vibrant is .3mm wider than the Origional SGS.
Origional SGS: 122.4 x 64.2 x 9.9 mm Source
Vibrant: 122.4 x 64.5 x 9.9 mm Source and Here (you will have to do inch to mm conversion but comes out to same as gsmarena)
P.S. The T-Mobile website says 2.5" but its actually 2.54".

1mm is like smaller than 1/16 of an inch. Your talking .3mm. For Gel cases it should not be an issue. This is a plastic "premium flexible polycarbonate" so it might be a problem, but the design with the extra cutouts on the short sides should allow some flex to the long sides. We won't know for sure till someone gets their case.
not are you sure it will fit?? iam planning to buy i9000 case for vibrant?

Mine shipped yesterday. I should get it in about 5-10 business days. So if it doesn't fit I'll have wasted $20. So it better fit.
I'd recommend getting one of the cheap <$5 soft gel cases from eBay and wait for some feedback on this case.

Yeah, all of the cases for the i9000 will have that extra cutout. It's for the TV antenna that Korean phones have (which we in the US will likely not get to experience anytime soon - HOORAY FOR THE FCC!).

Got a PM from the seller today that another of his US Vibrant buyers had confirmed that the case fits. I hope to get mine soon and I'll post pictures.

I most definitely will!
Got my mesh case in the mail today. Bought them on the 20th, so delivered from Korea in 6 days. Not bad.
Got them from this seller on eBay. Bought both the mesh and jelly cases. As part of his promo he included free screen protectors and added an additional clear jelly case for getting back to him if his cases fit the Vibrant (which they do!)
Note: The free case and screen protectors were a special gift and a separate promo. I'm not saying everyone will get it. You can ask, but don't bug the seller if he doesn't give you one. If it ain't listed on the eBay listing, you ain't got squat.
First the pictures from the mesh case. The case has a nice snug fit and almost feels metallic. The cutouts fit perfectly, but due to the hard plastic feel sharper edged than the jelly case. Weight-wise it pretty light and actually makes the Vibrant more wieldly because without a case the Vibrant is almost too light.
Here are the pictures of the Jelly case. I got both a clear and black one, but I prefer the black one better and that is what I am using now. The soft silicone is slick enough so that it doesn't feel sticky, but also prevents the Vibrant from sliding around when you put it into your car dashboard (still waiting for my mount). I'm not so hot on the crystal design on the back, but thankfully it isn't too obvious with the darker case.
Here are the pictures. The majority of the picture show the darker "black" case. The clear case is shown in 9263, 9264 and 9265 for comparison.

Here's Samsung's own list of accessories. I'm hoping to find the Spare Battery Charging System at in-store somewhere at launch, as even with the claims about battery life on this phone I'm pretty sure I'll need it. I bought the battery alone (official) for about $20 on eBay for my original Epic, along with a cheap knock-off charger, but it seems like it would be worth having the nice stand this time. Plus I suspect since we're kind of a one-off on the battery it might be a while before we see the accessories popping up online.
The other thing I'm looking for is a good holster. So far all I've found is this which may have to do. I've always preferred clip-in holsters, but I had a leather one carry me through my Moment and Epic that I've been happy with, so I may do the same again.
Here at the sprint stores, we'll be selling a slim case with built-in kickstand
It's pretty nice. It's all black, the back is a sort of tough nylon weave, and the kickstand is a black metal band the runs the whole width about a third of the way down, and a tiny hinge in the middle, so half of the band is the kickstand. I like it because it's a nice alternative to traditional plasticky cases, and the kickstand appears to be pretty durable. The fabric feel will definitely take some getting used to, but one upside I've found so far is the awesome amount of grip...this thing should never slip out of your hand.
EDIT: when I get in to work today I'll try and take a couple pics and post em up here

Not bad looking but certainly won't fit in the car dock. I use that for all my music and movies in the cars so I hope it is not to bad to get on and off the phone but strong enough to stay on if dropped. I would definitely try the carbon fiber thought. Looks nice!

I just returned from the closest Sprint store (an hour away) and while they didn't have the phone, they had 2 cases and a set of screen protectors. The case in that picture is exactly what the Sprint store had. It was even in a Samsung labeled clamshell container, making me think that maybe its a Samsung original product??? Anyway, I thought it looked very nice and would have bought it had they allowed it. They said the pricing wasn't available yet, so they couldn't sell it.

dunno about the s2 models, but the pictures for the galaxy note looks like it doesnt provide enough corner protection. when you drop a phone, its 90% likely to land on a corner first, so corner protection is important.

I got the black mesh yesterday. I really like it. Looks good, feels good. Adds about 2mm to total width. I think it covers corners well enough to protect Pretty well, but it does leave the top and bottom and half of each corner exposed. Sure does squelch the accidental hitting of volume and power buttons, which was a major goal. Fits fine into PU "leather" belt case I got.

To my surprise, the bubble case has arrived today...very fast postage, only took about a week
Anyways....here are some pictures and my thoughts about it, comparing to the Nillkin TPU case.
# The black part of the back of the case is actually of hard plastic material, and the grey sides of the case are of TPU. It kind of remind me of the Commuter Series of Otterbox, but instead of being 2 pieces, it's all in one piece. It does feel cheaper than OtterBox though....well...IT IS...
# It fits the phone really well and covers the edges of the screen a bit better than the Nillkin ones.
# I'm not sure if it is because of the hard plastic at the back...but it is actually quite hard to put the case on without feeling that I might somehow scratch the sides of the phone. But if you don't have a habit of taking the case off frequently, it will not be a problem to you. If you do...then...this will definitely cause you some pain.
# I think the dimensions of this case are a bit wider, longer, and thicker than the Nillkin....but NOT that much.
# The unlock and volume buttons are HARDER to press than the Nillkin case
# The glossy back bubble offers great look and also good grip (surprisingly).
All in all...I am very happy with this case...and personally I prefer this one than the Nillkin because of it's cool looks and the mixed of materials of hard plastic and TPU (somehow I think it might provide better protection).
So, anyways...I hope this helps and also hope to hear others opinions soon...
Feel free to ask me any questions if you have any
Here's pics of the black mesh case.

Hi DMax!
Thanks for the wonderful review!!! i am sold over it now!
Just wanted to ask if it really is anti-slip, as the note is thin and big, its quiet slippery now.
and also if the back is glossy, do you think its so "glossy" that its going to show up scratches real soon???
Thanks mate!

EDIT 2:
Bought the white bubble case from Obostore, what the heck, lets see how good this is!: )
Also ordered the Black Mesh case from an eBay seller for US $4.50. hope the quality n fit is good! last time I had a mesh case for my Galaxy S and the rubber coating started peeling off in a months time!!! had to thrown it away as it started looking ugly!

Will upload pics after I get it. Ordered white here so that if quality isnt good, then can order black from the ebay guy if he agrees to ship here.
I've never heard of this brand before but I heard lots of good reviews on TPU cases and need something to put my GS3 in when I get it. Was looking to stay away from black but when I seen this picture not only did it convince me to go ahead and get it, but i'm gonna end up getting a black Otterbox as well.

Anyone had any experience with this brands TPU cases before? I will update this thread with my review once I get it installed.
**Update 6.29.12**
I picked up my phone from BB yesterday and took this case with me to protect my phone until my Incipio Sylicrilic Dual Pro arrived...which was at home waiting for me along with my Tagsfordroid NFC tags. The case had a nice feel to it, at least on the shiny parts where it had more grip...the matte area was pretty slick/smooth/slippery. It was my first experience with a TPU case and while it added very little bulk, much like a wetsuit, it was a little difficult to stretch onto the phone. I thought I was going to damage the phone trying to get it on. But after getting it on I liked it for it's intended use, preventing cosmetic damage to the backside of the case and allowing me to set the phone face down without feat of damaging the screen. But my big complaint is that the buttons are very hard to press and you can't even tell when you've done so as you have no audible or tactile feedback upon the press. Because of this, the TPU came off as soon as I got home and noticed my SDP had arrived. I do not recommend this case unless it's just going to be used similarly to the situation I used it for.
generic cases you can get them for a buck on ebay with shipping. have used them on a lg o2x, sgs2, HOX and later today a sgs3. they usually fit really good. had no issues with them.
providing a link to the first case i found on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-5-Colors-...ain_0&var=&hash=item4166b8b83e#ht_4044wt_1018
I've ordered one for every phone I've had this past year they are super thin and have a good grip on the sides
But the white ones get super dirty really fast

Now obviously there are other cases that look better, but none for a couple of euro/dollars/pounds or what have you.

How does it feel in your hand? Does it add alot of bulk? What's the fitment like? Does it attract dust/lint? Does it add any grip? Have you dropped it at all, if so, did it fare well?

I love these types of cases. I have had one for every phone I have had over the past year and a half(and I've had a bunch) Case doesnt add too much bulk at all and it feels great in the hand. The side grips are very nice
Don't these fall off easily?

I've never heard of this brand before but I heard lots of good reviews on TPU cases and need something to put my GS3 in when I get it. Was looking to stay away from black but when I seen this picture not only did it convince me to go ahead and get it, but i'm gonna end up getting a black Otterbox as well.
This was just $4.95 shipped
Anyone had any experience with this brands TPU cases before? I will update this thread with my review once I get it installed.

I just bought a couple of TPU case for my S3 as they are my favorite type of case. I have the ones on eBay that have a slightly textured X pattern on the back and a couple identical to the flexishield case on mobilefun. I've found the ones on eBay to be to loose and move around a bit when I'm adjusting the volume or locking/unlocking my phone ect and both of them have a problem with reflecting the color of the case back into the camera lens when using the flash.It makes for some pretty interesting photo effects.
The ones you linked to look good but I would advise against getting a semi transparent color. I'm thinking about getting one in black or white to see me through until Incipio release there NGP case.
Okay, I forgot the mention this before when I posted the images.
While they feel great and look really good.
I noticed NFC doesn't work with cover on, I think this might be the same for most covers and not just this one, but none the less if you use NFC a lot. Keep in mind you need to remove the cover to do so.

TPU cases typically don't fall off. You have to pop them off. They're pretty ideal.

Ah, thanks for the heads up.

Got my case today, super fast if you ask me considering I placed my order at 11pm on the 6th. Will definitely do business again with these guys. I bought it on Amazon from "SF Planet", they're out of Minnesota and I live in California.
So I checked out the case and the first thing I noticed is how thin it is, will add very little bulk to the phone. It's thick enough to hold it's form but thin enough to be very low profile. The case has shiny and dull areas on it....the shiny areas are very grippy, the dull areas not so much. But since the edges where you would normally hold the phone are knurled and shiny, gripping it should not be a problem. It's also got cutouts for the necessary areas, including both top and bottom mic's. Can't speak on the fitment for obvious reasons but will do so hopefully soon.
So far, so good.
People that buy this case in white, it gets very dirty! Only the left half of the wave design since it's a different surface. (matte vs. gloss).
Do TPU cases provide enough front coverage?
It seems like the Commuter would do better.
if your in london you can buy it from these guys... i bought a case for my SGS1 Year and a bit ago and they were really good than http://www.londonmagicstore.co.uk/Samsung/I9300/S+Line.htm

It certainly would, but considering the commuter wont be shipping until the week after launch I had no choice but to get something. TPU cases will guard against scratches, thats about it.

OP updated with my review
There are so many cases made of different material,such as we all know TPU,hard PC material,PU leather, and they of a comparative better price than the genuine leather case, yet as the most classical genuine leather, if there's a need to have a high price genuine leather case for our loved M7 mate...?
Whilst I can't make head nor tail of what your post actually says, I'm guessing you're looking for a leather slip pouch for the One?
If so, I would recommend waiting for Beyza to come out with their Slim Zero range for it. I have had this case for the One X for about 6 months and it's a beast. No other case has lasted so long. And in fact I'm using it on the One now until they bring out a proper fitting case

This is what I'm considering
I am also looking for a genuine leather pouch for the One.
Just a heads up I bought the PU Leather version of that ebay link one and although it says it fits the One its not a perfect fit really, the top sticks out by about 5-6mm. Maybe the genuine leather in that one will stretch more. I've gone back to the S560 pouch I have for my One X which isn't a great fit either, too wide and loose.
What I really would like would be a genuine leather case like the meteor case that I have for the Sensation. It was a great quality pouch, soft leather, didn't add any bulk at all just like a tightly wrapped skin around the phone to protect it.

Oh and the pull tab (which I don't like anyway) is made more annoying by the fact that its not elastic like the HTC one its just like thin seatbelt material, and second theres no magnet like the HTC one so the pull tab doesn't stick to the case it just flaps about. I only paid £2.90 so its not bothering me but its a simple case of you get what you pay for.
Dan
Cheers for the advice about the PU case. That ticks it off the list then. I'll post if I come across anything better looking
I found (and ordered) this leather case from an Etsy seller. It is expensive ($80) but I am hoping it's worth it. There are hidden magnets that keep the flap closed.
The seller's page is at: http://www.etsy.com/listing/125790273/ha41-hand-stitched-handmade-personalized
Apparently it takes 5-7 days to make and then ?? days to arrive from China. Hopefully it will be here close to delivery of my One! I'll post my comments on it after I get my hands on it...

No offense but I don't trust to a chinese seller and give 80 bucks for a case like that. Most likely it is not even genuine leather.
I'd search "hard graft phone cases". They have this stunning leather bi-folding case/wallet for the iphone 5. However the size is generous enough that it may accommodate the m7. They're based in the uk I believe. I actually just emailed them asking if the m7 would fit into this, or any of their cases, or even if they were planning on making cases for this phone. I'm considering getting one for myself, and I figured I'd inquire first.. as it'd be an expensive mistake.
who knows HOCO ? some guys mentioned their case and in my impression that all the hoco case are made of genuine leather,and esp. their name is something classic and vintage style such as duke series case,baron series etc, so far they launched a leather flip case and going to try it as my M7 comes if no one give them bad scores...

Genuine leather pouch is looks great. i found some of the leather pouches, but unfortunately they don't seems beautiful.
Just go on the PDAir site, they have several leather HTC one cases

Ya, some cases ain't cheap, but to each their own. I have purchased a dozen or more crummy cases over the years for $15 - $25 that are all in a landfill now. I also bought a pricey leather case for my iPad a few years ago and it's still in use, looking better than ever.

But it's not that much, really... The slimmest I could find was the Spigen Thin Fit, but it's not that much slimmer:
Is there anything slimmer out there?
I have that case... Try using it without the border....
I also have the seidio case... I just use the inner cushion part... It doubles as a thin case cuz I can see their logo on it... I don't think you can go much thinner
I didn't measure but I have a cheap Chinese TPU case and it looks less than a mm. It was less than $1 shipped.
I have the nillkin nature TPU case. Perfect fit, and only 0.5-0.6mm thickness. Not much "bulk" added at all when used.

I don't really like those kind of "translucent" cases... Had one for my previous phone and with time it became yellowish and ugly.
I also have the Nillkin nature, and yeah, most of these transparent cases do discolor over time, but for only $5 I'll pick up another one when that happens. As far as the case itself goes, I had one of those $1 TPU cases and the mold was a little loose, in particular the sides had a tendency to bulge outwards so I would definitely check the reviews and images before pulling the trigger on one of those. The Nillkin one is pretty spot on and the buttons feel much clickier. Nillkin also have a hard case that's almost as thin as the Nature case, I'll put a link below:
https://goo.gl/7Xus8N
+1 for the Nillkin, I also have this, some months now and not even remotely going yellow.
I have had cheap brand ones in the past that went yellow before now so holding hope this one will not do that.
Good case, light, slim and easy to remove if wanting to run naked around the streets for a bit

I had a 'barely there' case by Casemate on my M8, and was hoping they would bring it to the 10, but it seems they have discontinues that case for whatever reason.
Watch out for the spigen case, it has some issues with flash when using the camera. Otherwise it's solid.

This is the one I bought: link
It doesn't look exactly like the picture, but it was really inexpensive. I like the look of the HTC 10 so I got a clear case. I also figured that if it yellows a bit, I could always get a replacement for really cheap.

Thank you kindly, looks real nice, especially for that price.
Do you suggest it?
I do. I have a more rugged case also, but only use that rarely because I feel safe enough with the thin case.
Thanks. Bought 3 of them just in case they get yellowish since they are so cheap and if I don't like it, well, too bad...
I've been rocking the Imak cowboy case (there's a review of it somewhere here). Keep in mind it'll probably have little impact protection but if all you're needing is scratch protection I find it perfect.
Slimmest case by far for me would be the included case from Yelun that was bundled with the TGSP. I've gone used only the HTC Ice View, Nillkin, and Spigen Crystal (I think).

I grabbed 2 myself.
For 77 cents, can't go wrong.
I'm at that point where I love my 10 but no longer treat it like a baby, so I still want some protection against surface scratches and what not, but still want to be able to enjoy the device.
Hopefully it holds up as well as the M8 did for me. Bought it on release day, used it up until the 10 release day, in just a slim case, not screen protector, and it's still in mint condition.
X-Level probably makes some of the best slim cases I have ever used. I first discovered them for my M8 when I visited Hong Kong and I've gotten them for all my phones since then: http://www.ebay.com/itm/X-Level-Lux...hash=item1a1de87d40:m:m4lwJH0dcr1dceg1As9H-EQ
They're also really cheap which is nice.
