Can someone recommend a cheap case for around $10? I've been running the Captivate naked but I think it's about time I consider getting some protection for it. The reason why I've been running it naked for so long is because I don't like the added bulk and heft they bring. However, nothing is perfect in this world and I'd rather suffer from added bulk and heft than risk scratching my Captivate. Of course the slimmer and lighter they are, the better. It'd be great if I can also access the buttons easily.
Doing a quick search, I've come across Otterbox Impact for $7.50 + shipping on Amazon, or I can get a Body Glove for $7.95 + shipping. Or I can just get those cheap silicone cases, but they can get dirt in pretty easily. My friend has a silicone case for his iPod Touch and it looks nasty if you don't keep it clean.
With all the threads on cases, you felt the need to start this one? The Body Glove is probably the simplest and best case out there in your price range.
Between those two get the otterbox. It feels much nicer in the hand and slides in and out of the l
Pocket much easier

There's someone in the Body Glove Mirage thread with the exact opposite opinion. I guess these kinds of things vary from person to person

Yes because they all look so bulky and hefty (from pictures and reviews) anyways, and well, there's a reason why I kept my phone naked for so long. Don't want it bulky and heavy.
@Others. Thanks. I'll take a look.
I have an Ebay gel case, it's an amzer copy and adds very little bulk, and slides in and out of my pocket fine.. plus no plastic snaps to break when removing it.
FWIW, I got the Otterbox Impact through Amazon as well and am really happy with it. I checked out the Body Glove case and didn't like it, but as said everyone has their own opinions.

I'd do this: the super-cheap TPU cases actually provide better protection them most expensive ones. TPU, not silicone.

I have a TPU case, and while it seems to add protection and is resistant against dirt, it is not resistant at all against grime and fingerprints. I swear the thing has layers and layers of fingerprints on it.
I ordered the Body Glove case and hope it doesn't have the same issues.

So TPU is like silicone but better? Reading that Wiki page reminded me of chemistry, which I did not do well on.
Argh $20 at FS. Might as well get Otterbox. I remember seeing some of the Otterbox cases, there's a plastic thing like silicone, which I guess is TPU and then there's a hard plastic for the back. Technically I can use it without the hard plastic, which would remove some bulk and weight I guess.

Yeah, even for employees the case is like $12.
Amazon and eBay have TPU cases for <$5 shipped (US, anyway). They're pretty much all from the same Chinese factories, so it won't much matter...
The Body Glove is TPU with some texturing.

I'm going to have to agree with this guy.
I have THIS and it is waaaay better than I would have given it credit for, if I hadn't bought it on recommendation from someone I trusted.
It is lightweight, no clips, protects the edges, is not bulky, does not show fingerprints, and is nearly see through in a smoky sort of way, but you still see the diamond pattern just enough to make it look like a $30 case.
I really cannot recommend it enough.
I've had mine for about 3 months now and if I ever lose it, there would be no other option for a replacement. I'm only buying this version as long as I have a Captivate.
For what it's worth, I also bought THIS because it was so damn cheap.......and it's flimsy, feels cheap, and gets fingerprints on it while collecting lint as well.
Stick with the Amzer, if you're not impressed with it, then there's no pleasing you.

This is TPU. The one you didn't like is silicone. See what I mean?
Dude, this is what you want:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Smoke-TPU-Skin-...539794?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20b50de392
2.95 shipped
This is what I have for my Captivate and I really like it. It is not too bulky, does not have a belt clip, is much sturdier than a silicone case (I personally like it better than my brother's Body Glove case), and I have not had any issues with dirt getting inside the case: http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-TPU-Skin-...294862?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c58ea0d4e
I bought mine as part of a $9.99 accessory package, which included a wall charger, car charger, USB cable, and the TPU case.
Cases are such a personal preference - some people like bigger heftier cases that provide maximum protection, whereas other people like more minimal cases that offer some protection but don't detract from the form factor of the phone. In my case, I fall within the latter category. When I used an iPhone, I usually opted for the Incipio Feather, the Griffin Reveal, or a simple skin (from Best Skins Ever or Invisible Shield).
Overall, I am very happy with the TPU case.
Thanks guys. I think I'll go with the cheap TPU that joeybear linked, but in a different colour and design. Maybe I'll buy a Otterbox Impact as well if I have to buy something from Amazon (HTC Desire screen protector and case)
Edit: Gg. The link by joeybear and JOLiu doesn't ship to Canada. Now I gotta spend more on Amazon or buy from other eBay shops, which is a lot more expensive and who knows how good the product from them is.
What I want out of my case is something that I would be able to use with the car dock, makes the phone grippy, and protects it from scratches and light drops. (even though I've never dropped a phone) hehe

Any thoughts? I'd assume the feather would fit in the car dock better. But more expensive.

I'm using the Feather now and while I like it, I would like a little more protection. I have tried almost every case they have so far for the Atrix (Otterbox Defender, Otterbox Impact, Body Glove, some generic plastic snap-on, Speck Candyshell, and the Feather), but I haven't found one I like. Next up will be the Commuter case but I'm hoping the market will pick up for the Atrix. Best Buy should have a selection on March 27, which is what they told me anyways. They said that was supposed to be when the Atrix was to be released so they have to wait because that is when their orders are dated for.
The feather is worth the money IMO as it adds up to the phone's protection and appeal without adding bulk.
I like the fact that you can put it on and take it off very easily, that it's sturdy, that it has a great feel to it and that it makes the phone look better / more elegant than without. It also protects the screen as it raises a mimilimeter above the edges.
What I didn't like was the screen protector, but it's an extra and is not even advertised on the box, so that's fine with me.
Have a look at the pics in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965128&page=3
I have the Otterbox Commuter & Incipio Feather cases. I prefer the Feather as it's not such a dust magnet like the Commuter is.
I have the Otter box commuter as well. The rubber does pick up a bit of pocket fuzz, but other than that it's great. Strong, not too bulky (the same dimensions as my iphone 3g with incase slider) and doesn't look bad either. It also makes the phone a bit less slippery.
Also, for what it's worth, I've read in other threads that folks can't get the Atrix to fit well in the car dock even with a case as thin as the feather.
Alright thanks for the replies. I went with the TPU because it's so cheap... Just want something to make the phone stay in my pocket better. Hopefully it's easy to take off and on for car dock. Because I want to keep the insert in because I enjoy a bit of aggressive driving.

I use the speck case and its pretty simple to take on and off for the car dock, even the otterbox defender takes me like 30secs max to take off

i got the body glove case. fits great. and its rubberized/plastic so it slides out of your pocket easily. ive already dropped it once. WOOPS. everything is fine though.
i have the armor protection that you get at the malls as well. that stuff si great!
After looking at cases I had it narrowed down to a speck or the feather. I chose the feather. With some googling I found a place that sells feathers for 13.99 even found a coupon for to take care of shipping. I ended up paying 15 and some change for it shipped. I'm looking forward to having a case for my phone. It may not offer as much protection as an otterbox but I like for looks of the feather a lot more.
I suggest this TPU Fusion Case that cost less that $5 shipped

Pictures look nice
the mirage is a good case. I have it
I currently have the Feather and its amazing. It fits nicely into the holster as previously stated by most users.
A little nice hint though, if u want protection from the bottom and top since the feather provides for only the sides and back of the phone, use a full body shield protector. They are thin and still allow for the Feather to cover over the phone nicely and they add protection for the top and bottom to compliment the Feather case.

Care to share the site and discount
anyone found out anything more about the cover mentioned in the HD dock manual or the adapter for the docks that allow them to take a phone in case
I just ordered the otterbox impact
Ive done business with them in the past with my sgs2. I ordered about 5 different cases and used there matte screen protectors with no issues. I emailed them a month ago to release something for the galaxy note and they came through. Very high quality cases and screen protectors. Will post update once I recieve mine.

That material looks very slippery. Are the sides "grippy?"
I love the headphone jack and micro USB caps to protect it from dust! Might grab a metallic color one!
I want their Steel Bumper series on my Note.
I like to looks of this. Does anyone have this case yet? I know it is silicone but is it more rigid than a regular tpu case?

I ordered it last night from Louisiana. I'll post up a short review when it arrives.
Just ordered mine too, looks great ! thanks for posting
Any one received the case yet?
***there is no tether included with the Rearth Note case even though it says so****
Dear ericshmerick,
Hi,
I'm really sorry for the confusion. Our design made a mistake on the
detail description. However, this Kit does not have a lanyard with the
package. We are still working on an accessories option so that you can
purchase a lanyard separately. I hope this help. If you have any other
questions feel free to let me know.
Regards
Charlie
-rearthusa

So in other words, they advertised to include a 0.5 cent part but will instead offer if later for sale even though it's advertised as included.
Keep it classy rearth. No sale for me (and it was in my cart ready to purchase).
wow, that looks amazing.
I received my case last week. Unlike my great experience with sgs2, I received a damaged retail box and a case with buff marks all over it. Was very unhappy but they are sending me a brand new one now. Will post a short review when I receive the new one.
Like the poster above stated it does not come with a lanyard. Screen protector is pretty good though.
Just a few quick pics. Came in the mail today. Overall has a nice fit to it. The case is quite slick(slippery), yet feels okay in the hands because of the lack of lip around the entire face. It does get smudged quickly and it is noticible. It is a soft silicon type but much more rigid once on and the slickness actually helps the feel of the unit gliding in and out of your pocket.
Around the case basically the button areas are cutout and the sides are half covered by this(bumper part) of the case, hence no lip on the sides.
The top and bottom both have a decent lip to allow faceplanting of the Note. And the Stereo Headphone port and Micro Usb both have plugs to keep the dust away, very nice touch.
The screen protector is also better than the 5pk for $4.00 ebay special, as it has the entire face covered with the exception of the ft cam notch where it is blank in the space right above the cam itself.
In the first pic my I4 with Cleave Aluminum Bumper is shown for size along with the Note with Rearth case.
This case is quite nice. I basically echo everything previously said.
It's kind of a pain to get off if you need to change the battery though, but that goes for most hard cases like this I guess. I already have a screen protector on so I'm not touching the one that came with the case yet.

I just got mine yesterday, and I have to say I am EXTREMELY disappointed in my purchase. I paid $28.00 for a case that is sub-par to the hard shell Nillkin I bought for about $10. The case is slick, shiny, easily smudged, and provides absolutely NO protection to the Note. If there was a single good thing I could say about it, it is the fact that it IS thin. It's like having no case at all. At the very least, they could have made it a matte finish. It's worth about $10.
This is about the 3rd or 4th different brand of case I have tried for my Note.
Save your money.
I agree with yeahmon. This case is expensive!!!
Go get a Nillkin ultra slim hard case instead. Only US$9.99 and comes with a screen protector too. Free shipping.
http://www.obostore.com/Nillkin-Ult...Faceplate-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-p-3357.html
I bought one and measured it. Only about 11mm thick. Great and nice fitting case with good quality material.
More colours at a slightly higher price at US$12.49.
http://www.obostore.com/Nillkin-Shi...Faceplate-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-p-3356.html
US$27.99? I can buy 2 cases and have change left.
There are a lot of nice hard cases in obostore at a really good price. Go take a look guys and gals.
a matte version does exist

I have ordered this case as well but can not yet comment on it's quality, or lack thereof, since it has not yet reached me.
I will certainly comment on that once I have some experience.
They do have a matte finished black case though.
In fact I ordered a matte one, even though I visually prefer the shiny black version (they call it noble black). To avoid exactly the problems you are describing (easily smudged and scratched). As said, I can not comment on this actually being the case and certainly will report back on this.

What case are you comparing it to? The one in ddeath's post?
Compared to that Nillkin case, the Ringke case offers better protection since the bottom has zero protection on the nillkin case. It's not only covered on the Ringke case but the Ringke also has caps for the headphone/usb ports so you don't get lint in them.
Yes, the Nillkin case is cheaper. And I also shouldn't have gotten the shiny case. But from a protection standpoint it's exactly as advertised. I don't understand the dissapointment.
I'll probably use this case as a daily driver and swap it with a thicker, higher protection case for 'heavy days' (trips or whatever).
- Frank
Disregard this post
I bought their case two weeks ago, and I am reasonably happy with it. I bought the one with "matte black" finish, so it was not slippery. Feels pretty solid in hand, actually.
All the cutouts on the case are very precise. The rubber caps help a lot. But as everyone said, the lanyard was missing, so I emailed their support and they sent me a lanyard in a separate mail very shortly. The lanyard looks exactly like what the photo shows, but I don't know how to attach the lanyard, because the case was so tight, I don't see a hole where I can attach the string. If anyone knows, please enlighten me.
Because the case is so slim, I feel its primary purpose is to prevent scratches on the front, side and back in daily use. But I personally would doubt its shock absorption capability when you drop it.
This case is more for people who like to go naked. It adds no extra bulk to the note. And it will protect it from some small drops. It will protect from the housing getting scratched.
Its not for people who need maximum protection but for people who want something that's barely there.
GALAXY NOTE
How is this case If I compare it with Commuter, Aegis and Ballistic SG protection wise ??
http://www.pure-gear.com/px260-protection-system-for-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-collection.html
Video:
That's a pretty nice looking case.
With the added bulk though, you would think they might have been able to fit a kickstand in there.
cool case... nice price.
Yea it looks nice ! But the lip over the screen is less compared to other cases I mentioned here... So in case of fall would this protect the screen ??
I'm having hard time deciding between these cases, and they aint cheap here at ~ 60$ ...
I wouldn't recommend this case, can't speak for the other two.
Okay, thanks...
I was looking at this case and I didn't know what to think at first but after that video it's a sure buy for me. I found one with free shipping on eBay for $30!
ebay(DOT)com/itm/320960236399
That's a nice deal to me.
Alright guys, I need your opinions and recommendations. What are your opinions on a case that maintains a small and reasonable form factor while providing great protection, far beyond other cases of a similar size. Basically what case do you think is the perfect compromise of size and durability? I'm sure that a thread like this will help more people than
Please share your opinions, personal experiences, or recommendations, or just anything that you have to offer.
I am in the same boat. Want minimal bulk, minimalist styling and some protection. I'm usually OK with just scratch protection, i.e. those < 1mm thin snap on covers but am willing to go a little thicker
I like the Rock shell cases, the Incipio Feather, and the Spigen Air cases. Something slightly more substantial or even the same would be nice it it wrapped around the top and bottom of the phone as well.
Give this one a try guys - I use this case on my last 3 Android Devices and absolutely LOVE it!

a few cases that I have considered...
I'll start by offering a few cases that I have considered purchasing, and that I can't decide between.
Otterbox Commuter Case:
http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S3-Commuter-Series/SAM4-GALAXY-S3,default,pd.html
It seems like this case offers great protection, but I've heard that it has issues with being very slippery, difficult to press buttons, and might be a bit bulkier than cases offering similar protection.
Trident Aegis:
http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-pro...00/aegis-case-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-i9300.aspx
This case seems to offer similar protection to the Otterbox Commuter, but at a size that is easier to hold and fit in your pocket. This might be a keeper...
Incipio Silicrylic DualPro Shine:
http://www.incipio.com/Samsung-Gala...-SHINE-Hard-Shell-Case-with-Silicone-Core.asp
I just saw this case today online for the very first time. It looks amazing. It may offer slightly less protection than an Otterbox Commuter, but it looks much more pocketable, and easier to hold. It also looks like it might leave enough room to attach a Spigen Steinheil GLAS screen protector, something that I'm pretty sure can also be done with the Otterbox Commuter.
Spigen Neo Hybrid:
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...g-galaxy-s3-case-neo-hybrid-color-series.html
Everytime I see this case I practically drool over how attractive it is. It looks very easy to hold, and is extremely sleek and sexy looking. Of course, it doesn't offer nearly the amount of protection as the Trident Aegis or Otterbox Commuter, but it might still offer enough protection. Opinions?

I can try to get some pics- my GS3 is the only camera I've got atm though lol - hard to take a pic of the phone in its case hehe. I'll search my house and see if i cant find my long lost digi camera - no promises there!
I've got the black Active case (no kickstand) and I love it. It doesn't slip, very grippy, still easy to pocket, also has a holster that is actually quite nicely built. The active is a slim case, that still protects the corners, top, and bottom. I've had this case for almost 2 months now and its been awesome. Its easy to remove and put back on. I'm getting ready to buy the Active case with the kickstand soon...
If you just want scratch protection and slim fit goto eBay or amazon and search for mercury. I've switched to my otterbox commuter for a week but came back to my mercury. Otterbox is good for drop protection but I only worry about that if I'm hiking and taking pictures so Ill swItch when I need to.

So, I just realized that the link you provided was to a combo deal for the Active w/kickstand case and a holster. I found the link to just the case without the holster. Many more pictures of the phone + case. Looks great, it just might be the perfect combo.

I think it looks the best, but I have not seen any reviews on it.
They got a video of their iphone LS being dropped

Body Glove drop suit looks nice too (A forum member has a picture of it in the pictures of your case thread)

I love all seidio cases but my absolute favorite will be the surface with holster. Yeah, it won't give you as much protection as the "active" but it adds the protection you need - or looking for.
Now that I mentioned the above, knock on wood***, should i happen to drop my phone let there be nothing wrong
I like the D3o cases that T-Mobile sells. I had a Ringke Slim case but that offered crappy drop protection. I've since bought the D3o case and it seems to offer much better protection while still keeping a similar form factor.
