Hi, I'm looking for hard cover cases that can attach to the phone with a lanyard. Anyone find one yet? Any links are appreciated.
Im looking for one too anybody?
+1 on this. I've seen a few Vibrant cases that had it, but nothing for the Captivate. Still puzzles me why American carriers in general release their smartphones without a place for a strap whereas they are very popular elsewhere (esp in Asia).

Anyone have a suggestion for what kind of case will give me the rubberized feel that the HTC phones have (their backplates). Or if you can't think of a specific case, what kind of material I should be looking into>
I don't want a gel case I think cause its too rubberish and stick and hard cases are just bad. What's a good mix in-between?

Just look down before you start a new thread.
I did read all of that before posting. Unfortunately I am looking for a full-fledged case, not a skin or coat I put on the phone. I want something that will protect the phone from a full drop which is not a gel or hard case.
I have this one, it's a hardcase with rubber coating similar to G1, plus perforated holes for better grip. Best looking case in the market at the moment IMO.
"Mesh" case for i9000
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730699
vuvsion I have been following the forum very closely. I know of these cases and was considering getting one for the LONGEST time. They DO look great. But if you drop it, your phone is ****ed. It doesn't cover the edges. I don't really care its backplate (i can replace that easy enough). The sides though, are not replacable.
The mesh case covers the back but not the edges. It's pretty but not drop-proof. Do you know of anything LIKE it that covers more of the phone. Cause that would be perfect.
Perhaps one of the case-mate cases would have that same feeling, but since it's still in design stage, it'll take awhile for them to release anything.
Do you know if Case-Mate is even working on a model for the Vibrant/Galaxy S? I just looked at their site and they have VERY few cases for past Samsung phones.

Yup saw that like 3 minutes after posting. Voted on their case-mate forum too. I just hope it doesn't take a month for them to be out.

Howdy y'all,
I have a Captivate and have had a hard time finding a flip style case for it.
I have however found one for the i9000. After doing some research, I found that all 3 phones have the same dimensions... so do you think this case will work for my Captivate?
if its a flip style pouch-like thing then maybe. something like a Body Glove...nuh uh

Forgive my ignorance, but if the phone are the same dimensions, why would the captivate not fit into a Body Glove case?
The flip case that I linked snaps onto the phone... still think it may fit?
While the general dimensions are the same, the actual shape is not the same between the Captivate and the Vibrant/international Galaxy S. If it's a case that fits around the shape of the original Galaxy S, it most likely won't fit the Captivate.
There's a flip type case I found for the captivate from WirelessGround. Looks similar to the one from PDair. In fact, I believe they are the same. Both websites also have videos posted on youtube showcasing their respective cases.
I would post the links for you, but I can't. Don't know if that's what you're looking for, but I hope that helps.
cases are compatible among them all as they have the same cut holes for the buttons and mic areas
except for the 4G Epic which has a keyboard slide out
this is yet another reason why we need this

Thanks xer09aradox. It is what I'm looking for, although they're not as attractive as I was hoping.
It's hard to tell from photos, but does the i9000 have more rounded corners than the Captivate?
If it does, then I can't imagine my Captivate being about to fit into the original case I linked in my first post.
the Vibrant has more an iPhone 3GS look to it while the Captivate has much more defined corners
I am all over the net searching for such case, it's nowhere to be found for Note, loads of stuffs for S2,
Eg
http://www.trait-tech.com/product/T...e-for-samsung-i9100-galaxy-s2-black-blue.html
this is so awesome for 3$, if only we could get for our note.. if some1 finds it please share here...
No one have any interest in such cases??..oO
I am doing searches for it too (China stores included) and it looks like there's no such a product yet.
I am confident SGP will release it (I hope soon).
So annoying to wait.. cant find it anywhere..
Wow, nothing still.. any1 find it yet?
I wish! I love those hybrid cases. I know soft silicon would be on the inside, and hard plastic on the outside to allow smooth sliding in and out... Arg! If you find something, please repost it! I totally want one. I've been searching but so far no luck eBay hates my searches. Lol.
Anyone know if bumper cases usually fit with the extended batteries??
Dear fellow XDA'ers,
I have recently found something on Youtube and eBay that I'm yet to see anywhere else on the XDA forum.
I'm talking about a German company that supposedly creates CNC machined bumpers and metal cases for Galaxy S2 (which is pretty rare apart from the several Korean/Chinese bumpers).
They have a Youtube account full with videos - http://www.youtube.com/user/creativdesign5
And eBay - http://stores.ebay.de/creativ-design5
Personally, I love their products but I'm wary of their legitimacy due to the lack of content or reference regarding them. Even after thorough Googl'ing, I can't find anything solid or worthwhile on them.
Maybe someone has heard of them before?

Those prices are INSANELY HIGH!!! 54 EURO for an aluminum bumper? I bought my SweetArmor bumpers (which in my opinion are WAY NICER) for like $11.00 CANADIAN each INCLUDING SHIPPING.
These are pretty nice but WOW... What are they lined with... GOLD, PLATINUM, TITANIUM for that price?!
Where did you get your SweetArmor for $11 CAD? Would love to get one at that price to try it out.
I am quite certain these are made from China.
If you look hard enough there are identical products with different branding and cost less.
Similar to the sweet armour.

I just remembered the thread with metal case lineup and had forgotten about the case that is described as IKUBA. In fact, the case is exactly the same as all the Creativ Design5 cases (for Galaxy S2 at least).
I'm not sure how I missed this first time around but I feel embarrassed now.
hmm.. are there other brands of this type of aluminum bumpers? the ones that does not cover the lower part of the phone as that is where the antenna is.. the problem with metal/aluminum bumpers that covers that area is that it greatly affects signal reception.. that's what happened to me when using the akiba metal slider..
cant understand why people want to cover up this beautiful phone in a case

Your claim only makes sense but I am yet to see anyone else with this problem (at least in the threads that I've looked). And check IKUBA but that's the only case I know that doesn't cover speaker/antenna.

It's not gonna stay beautiful for long unless you protect it.
It's just a mobile phone, how long are you gonna keep it? 10 years and you want to protect it!!! The average people keep their phones for a year or two!!!

Since they look exactly the same, I'm going to assume that they are and each party has just decide to stamp their brand on it. So in terms of difference, there should be none.
so ive seen you can get moto g (its for a 4g one) cases which are replacements back covers and have a flip cover on the front. this is really what i think im after but the only ones ive seen are the official ones. frankly, im really not buying a £15 case without having seen it first and even then, its not my main phone so even then i probably wouldnt.
i would be interested in one if it was more reasonably cheap but i cant seem to find one. has anyoen else found such a thing?

Banggood sells some cheap unofficial flip covers here. I can't tell their quality (I bought an official flip cover), but it is a good site.
You can try dx.com for other models. This site has a good reputation too.
hey thanks for that suggestion.
however that one ive just found some more descriptions of it, found the same one on amazon and the reviews say it has no magnet to keep the screen closed so it just flaps about.
sadly for me that is a bit of a deal breaker.
