just got this case, i had one of the zenus gel cases but something about the polymer i didn't like - it's not as "grippy" as the earlier gen silicone gel cases
saw this one for $2.69 - it's the exact same as the one i had on my MT3g - clear silicone gel, real grippy, and it was here in 7 days from Hong Kong, from the time i paid for it
and btw, even though it's advertised for the i9000, it does not have the TV antenna cutout on the upper right hand corner
for what it's worth - hard to go wrong on $2.69 shipped

Thanks. Didn't think twice. Ordered one from your link.
Edit: Love it. Thinking about ordering colors. For the price of an app, why not?

I've done searching and all I can find is reviews of the Active LE on Amazon. Does anyone have the Active from Seidio direct? (http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr6hev4-wh.htm) Any reviews people have found on it?
I've been looking at the white one cause I like the contrast on it, any thoughts?
EDIT:
After looking closer online, it seems like they are identical cases, just in different colors. Can anyone confirm this for me?
UPDATE:
Seidio has listed the Active as Available For Pre Order, Shipping 7/16
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4257.htm
The exoskeleton is different. It looks like the LE one from Amazon has fingers that wrap around while the one from the Seidio website appears to have more solid sides with the rubbery part only showing on the top and bottom and all the way around the front.
SnAp..I just ordered from amazon, and I love the sage case from sedio.

That's what it looked like to me though, I wonder if that adds any significant bulk to it. There has to be SOMEONE who ordered the black one from Seidio....
Damn, those on the seidio site are SEXY. Im glad i waited.
O yeah....... LOVING that case. Good find, will be ordering one asap. Probably get black and blue

hmmmmmm to many nice ones
I purchased mine from Amazon before they listed them as being in stock and ended up geting it within 3 days of my order so that was cool.
I have the Body glove case, the HTC leather holster/pouch and the Seidio Innocase II Surface holster combo.
The Seidio Active case is by far my favorite and I have not seen anything else out yet that compares. I feel much more confident that my phone would survive a drop in this case than any of the previously mentioned.
It also has a great feel to it. I have the original black one and a Zagg screen protector.
Here's my review
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0mzRJDGx78
Just placed an order for the limited edition on amazon. It said it'll take about a month to arrive which blows. I'm hoping its better than the bodyglove case. I dropped my phone with it and the case went flying off which kinda defeats the purpose. Luckily nothing happened to my phone.

Nice video review, I wouldn't kind trying the active out. Looks pretty study.
Scratch previous post. I'm waiting for the blue active case. Too sick! The white is nice too but I work in a dirty environment so not worth it. Anyone know when the new are ones are going to be released?
Sent from my PC36100
The Amazon limited edition case is the best available atm. I've ordered just about every case available (excluding the cheap $5-$10 ebay cases) and this one from amazon is by far the best. Feels great, durable, slides in and out of pocket well, will not fly apart when dropped. Cant go wrong. I went ahead and pre-ordered the green, blue and burgandy as well.

I have the Rugged Case with the exoskeleton. It is worth every penny. I don't even think otterbox can make a better case. The extra shell does NOT add any significant bulk, and it is very necessary so that the rubber skin doesn't easily come off by just handling the phone.
I also have the holster. (i have the innocase holster. They say it its not made for it, but it fits mine just fine. I bought it before they made a holster combo for the active exoskeleton case)
I bought mine off of Amazon.

Are you talking about the Holster or the Rugged case?
I ask because I preordered the Rugged case from Amazon and they haven't been shipped yet. Just checked out Seidioonline.com and they are pushing the shipping date back until next week WTF!

Well I am using the Silicone case from Radioshack. Provides good protection, but I would like to get my Rugged case for two reasons.
1 - For the "otterbox" type protection
2 - Return the silicone case to "The Shack" and get my $20 refunded

You have a Rugged for the EVO??? How is this possible? They haven't shipped any of them yet. In fact, I canceled my order because, they haven't shipped.
Do you have pics or a review? Are the ports on the bottom covered?

I think he means the active...
So I just got another new case.
I got it from eBay seller augustonline for $3.89 w/ free shipping.

This is similar to the mesh snap-on case that others have posted about. It's a single piece that snaps on to the back of the phone. The material is hard plastic but it has a bit of a rubberized feel which provides just a little grip.
The fit is perfect. And, unlike the mesh case, it does not have the awkward cutout for the TV antenna that the Korean cases have.
As others have pointed out with this type of case, it does not provide full protection for all sides. I was also concerned about this, but found that it wraps around the edges just enough to protect the face of the phone. So, if you place it face-down the phone doesn't touch. Also, the corners are protected but the top and bottom are exposed.
It's a solid color with no branding so if you really like the Galaxy S logo, you won't be able to see it with this case.
All in all, this is a nice case and if you like this type of case, I would definitely recommend it. It fits well, has a nice clean look to it, and is less than $5. I think this will be my daily driver for a while (or until some positive reviews of the SGP Slider case start coming in).
Sweet as I was wondering whether the fit would be good or not, so thats good news
Can't wait for my orange one to get here!
Cool good to know it fits perfectly i ordered a green one of these almost two weeks ago i should be receiving it any day now
The case isn't bad for $4 (or the $8 I paid from a US seller), but don't expect it to hold up for very long. The rubberized texture is wearing off after less than a week.

I was just thinking about updating this post when I saw your reply. I noticed this morning that the rubberized coating is coming off on the corners of the case. It's not very noticeable at the moment, but I imagine it will start to peel off everywhere in the not so distant future.
For me the case is temporary until SGP gets their stuff together, but I don't think I would recommend this case to anyone that is looking for long-term protection.
that looks pretty gnarly. I have the snap on two piece case from T-Mobile. With the chrome bezel and rubbery back. Once I get bored of it I'll have to try that one.

Love this case so far. Especially with my custom logo! =D
There is no player on the warriors with the number 89. That's just the number I like personally.
I don't think this can be compared to mesh case. The quality of the korean mesh case is awesome. That is why it is like 20 bucks.

I was looking for a good belt case.
Seidio innocase is the best the market but they have not brought one out yet.
Hopefully they will bring one out , considering the popularity of this device.
Here is an example i am talking about
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/hlssvbrasc.htm
What is everyone using for belt. I like somthing that will clip on
My old case (previously for G1 and G8) is a nice fit for the GS2, it's Naztech Sahara.
However I have a cover on my GS2 so it no longer fits. The case I am after is Nite Ize Clip Case Sideways in Large part number CCSL-03-01, if i can get one shipped here at a good price.
I've used PDAir cases for years on my phones. They have a line for the SGS2.

I bought the horizontal pouch and a gel and both fit perfectly. Although the gel has a cut out on the right top corner for the Korean versions TV antenna. It doesn't bother me though.

Does the phone fit in the horizontal case with the Gel on the phone? I'm looking for a horizontal belt case and this PDAir one seems the best but I would like to have a thin matte or gel case on the phone as I found the phone quite slippery and easy to drop. T%he one I'm looking at is the "Leather Case for Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100 - Horizontal Pouch Type (Black)" from your link, is this the one you purchased?
This is the one that I finally ordered. Will review it once it gets here.

Looks interesting but one thing I should have mentioned I'm looking for is that the headphone jack should be accessible while in the case. The one you posted looks like it would be covered? Regardless, looking forward to the review and thanks for posting the link.

Agree. The PDAir cases are well finished and have already released their line of cases for the SG2. Another advantage is that their vertical belt case has the belt clip permanently attached to the case. It's a lot more reassuring knowing that it won't come off or unhook when brushed against.
I have been using these on my Galaxy S2 and Tab. I didn't like the idea when I was browsing for a new case on Ebay, but when I got it, I soon changed my mind!
If anyone finds anything like it then please post on this thread!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gel-TPU-C..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item43a90b8802
looks like a great idea....but i think i would prefer if the clear stand part be black or grey in colour instead
They come in many different colours and styles. And with stand / without stand
I found something very similar (or identical):
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/522134318/S_Line_Crystal_Plastic_TPU_Protector.html
There are other variants on alibaba, the only problem is that the minimum quantity is usually 50-100 pieces :-/
EDIT: found it on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-HYBRI...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item48436c47a9
I bought one before seeing this thread.
When I receive it, I'll tell you if its good/bad etc
when i find something good
，will let you know
I searched on ebay for "galaxy note kickstand case TPU" and got a result:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-HYBRI...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item48436c47a9
I eneded up ordering for around $8 the kickstand case with included car charger and 3 screen protectors. Will reply here with a review here once I get it.
I bought one of these too. I figure you can't go wrong for $5.

For $8 I got a car charger, 3 screen protectors and the case.
The case:
Black TPU and Grey Silicon.
Kickstand is Silicon and a part of the case's mainframe.
The Kickstand works well.
The TPU is knife-proof and tamper proof, but dont drop it from a 2.5+ metre height.
The TPU has textured sides which help with grip A LOT.
All the holes and ports (pen) are easily accessible.
The buttons are covered but NOT hard to press.
Whole case is quite thin, so its not very "drop proof" but very resistant to heat and cuts.
Did I say it is thin, so it still fits in my pockets easily.
Verdict: 9/10
This has replaced my Carbon Fibre case (which was protective). This case is a MUST HAVE for any NOTE owners.
Sidenote: I also bought the GPS holder ($6) from the same seller "telegaming", it is also a high quality piece.
I'm trying to find a decent horizontal leather holster for my new S3.
I'm talking about something that looks like the attached file. (apparently I am too lame yet to use a url)
I really like this case but I need it sooner than 2-3 weeks that it would take to ship from Hong Kong. So, if someone has an idea where I can find this case stateside or something similar that will hold the phone with a thin protective case like the Rock case. It should also either have 2 belt loops or a snap that keeps the clip from sliding off my belt.
Thanks.
Check your local ATT corporate store. I ordered a couple leather cases off of ebay and amazon but something was always wrong with them. Either felt cheap or to small to fit my GS3 with a thing case on it. The one at ATT cost as much as the 5 I ordered online but at least I could place my phone in it to see if it fits before I bought it. The case itself has two belt loops and a plastic clip that is not removable. It literally feels like it was made for the GS3 with a small case on it.

I ended up ordering the one from ebay. I know the quality is likely to be bad, but I am extremely hard on these things. I have a hard time paying for a holster that is just going to be broken in 2 months anyway. Even the holsters I get from the stores are this way. In any case, I ordered the holster + black shell combo. I'll see about giving it a quick review when I get them in.
Thanks for the suggestions all.
