After weeks of checking, I noticed today that the official Samsung accessories for the vibrant are available including a carbon fiber case(real carbon fiber), the official carmount and charger, and most other sought after accessories. here are the links to the case and car mount:

There's pictures of the captivate version in the captivate section and it is definitely not real carbon fiber.
Real carbon fiber would interfere with rf reception.

Don't like that carbon fiber case, I really want that sleek white SGP case from their main site.. It's been out of stock for the entire time I knew of it's existence though :/
You gotta wonder about management at Samsung. They are losing money everyday this stuff is out of stock. And every Samsung accessory I've seen for the Vibrant on Samsung's website is out of stock. At least, the accessories I'm interested in.

sorry to bring up an old thread but did you find a good one relatively cheap, also in the market for one.

My hood is carbon fiber, as is my trunk lid. Run your hands across it, and you can't feel the weave because of the coating that's on it. I haven't seen the case, but I wonder if it's like this?

I road race motorcycles and its understandable that carbon fiber on vehicles ha a coat on it because of rock chips and stuff. My race bike has plenty of carbon fiber on it but has a coat on it because of rock chips sand and tiny debris that might hit. The case though not carbon fiber is a damn good knock off.....

You did say it was real carbon fiber, and there were other nards who knew nothing of the subject who wanted to chime in and say it was real and felt real.
We just want to let you know it is not real and nowhere near the real thing.

Kind of like how stunting is not real riding? Go do a track day son. Kidding its takes a little skill.
Have you ever felt un molded carbon fiber? just a sheet?
Probably not that why you say its not close
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Jesus. Two pages of crap.
Let me clarify.
The case IS NOT carbon fiber. Its hard plastic. It is not very thick and its a pretty sweet little case IMO. It maintains a very sleek profile for as thin of a phone as it is attached to and helps to hold while doing whatever.
Its a great buy IMO and I WOULD purchase again.
they just released A case/belt clip combo for $29.99. i need to check it out. i heard its a great case

Ha, not a stunter, just the occasional standup at the dedicated stunt lot.
I am in AET 378 (Composites class) Right now and I actually just got done doing a carbon fiber layup... The fake fiber on that case is far too large, its molded and its not even a composite.. its just plastic. My roommate has the case. Its not a bad case its just a little thick for my liking. Maybe in a couple weeks I was going to make a real carbon fiber case for my phone so it would be a little thinner. I just gotta check and see if the plastic on the phone is compatible with the epoxy resin that I will be using.
To answer the OP's question: no there is no holster case out yet that will fit the phone with the case on it. The case although thin still makes the phone too thick for the holster cases.
PS: not an expert or road racer, but im pretty sure its not real carbon fiber.

they sold @ 2.99 each
While we're on the subject of obscene cases; I'd love a case that was custom-fit made from Tungsten Carbide.
That would be EPIC.
I'd be concerned it would block radio signal.
Sellers raise the price when they want to keep the listing but not end it. That way people don't buy the product.

Don't like cases that cover the bezel. :thumbdown:

I have that case, it's OK but isn't brilliantly stable when in stand config
Probably not real carbon fiber, as that acts like a faraday cage and blocks wifi and radio signals. We tried making some for the HTC Rezound but it totally killed reception.

No it's not real carbon fiber, as stated in my short review it's got a carbon fiber appearance, but on amazon and my title it is called carbon fibre case so is misleading.

Don't be annoyed with me I do want traffic to my website, it's true!
I requested for my review to be placed in the Nexus 7 Accessory reviews thread, and theomni kindly did, then asked me to start a thread so people could ask me questions about the case.
This is actually the second forum I posted my website on! The first is another nexus 7 website and they banned me straight away for being competition I guess.
I've just bought one off the back of this review. Thanks!

Good I hope you like it andy
I bought one of these, then sold it after a few days. Its very nice looking, "exec style" case, but it felt like it can slip out my hand any time. Anyway I bought another luvtab standard case, that i'm very happy with so far.
I got two of these LuvTab covers for my N7 units (BLK Leather and BLK Carbon Fibre) and I coudn't be happier. It's definitely one of the best options out there and the price is just right.
Hey guys
Can anyone recommend some good cheap cases for the white galaxy s3? Not hard plastic and i want to buy it from Amazon. The cheapest but good looking cases.
Thanks

The price is too good to be true for this case so it's most likely fake like the others on ebay. Just a heads up because there are many people who thought they were going to get a real one.

Yup. Plus they dont even make those anymore, they got discontinued awhile back. Just the fakes are available now. Maybe few real one but doubt those are it cause of the price. Nonetheless the fake one I had was so close to real. Almost perfect.

Diztronic is a great value case but it is TPU (which I actually prefer). Otherwise, the ACase seems nice as well. Of course, UAG is on amazon as well, but I personally think they are ugly. :shrugs:

I had this case and gave it away. The buttons are difficult to press and the case turned blue from my jeans. Only worth $1 for phone protection

Imo buy dark colors cause eventually lighter colors will stain overtime. My wife has a hot pink ballistic LS series and it started turning purple with jean stain lol. Its easy to clean off tho, so I guess no biggie. But I can only imagine a white case with stains
