[Q] New leather case from Samsung - Captivate Accessories

Has anyone seen the new leather case from Samsung...
and if anyone has it care to share about your experience?
ET-I897PCFBSHC is the product number on samsung website.

Oh wow... that looks nice. It looks like it might be too thick though....

you think it will be too thick?
hhmmm... i think it will be the same thickness as the other snap ons from samsung.

It looks like might be thinner than the previous snap on case which most owners hate.

I'm going to buy it... I need a case anyways.
Ill post a review once i get it in.

I'm considering trying one out too.
Also, stating that it is likely about as thick as other snap-on cases is about as meaningful to me as saying a hippo doesn't weigh quite as much as an elephant. I went with a TPU case originally because all snap-on cases are just too thick, however this leather one looks too nice to pass up.
I'm still somewhat hesitant though because it looks very conducive to gathering dirt and dust and being detrimental to the phone like the Body Glove, but even worse with that extra hole in the back (which I really wish wasn't there; the less branding I have to see on the phone, the better).

Haha again with the Body Glove negativity! The Body Glove case doesn't scratch the phone and it is in no way detrimental. Not to mention it is easy to grip because of the textured backing. The Samsung leather case looks sharp, though leather down here in the Texas elements wouldn't do so well :/

You're welcome.

Before you buy use code "galaxys" for 15% off!
You're Welcome.

too late... i bought it when i posted it...
i used the summer2010 for 10% off though...
thanks for the info.
im sure someone will use it after i give my review.

Case hasn't come in yet, sixk?

Purchased. I have an invisibleSHIELD cover on the entire body and hate it. I love it for the screen but the rest of the phone looks terrible with it.
Thanks for the 15% off code.

Sorry it came in but I was out of town for work with out my laptop.
Now for a review... sorry no pics.
Its mostly plastic and the its not that big but it does add alot of bulk.
The front part has little ripple patterns that might irritate your skin.
But the screen wont be impacted if dropped glass down.
I had my glass replaced 3 weeks ago after dropping it from around 3 feet.
ok back side
it looks nice... but if you look closely it looks cheap and leather doesnt feel like leather.
there are little indents in the leather
the metal looking parts are also plastic... so feels cheap....
it snaps on and fits nicely and hard to get off....
I havent been able to take it apart so I dont know about it being a dusty inside but it was layered with some fabric to stop it from scratching the back side.
...
hahaha while i was typing this i took it apart. no dust.
so thats pretty much it
final say is that if you want a good case that looks and performs like it should this is a good product if you look at it quickly or from afar haha.
havent really dropped it but im sure with the padding and being a light plastic it will take the impact for the phone.
good product but looks cheap and is alittle pricy.
I will try to upload photos but someone stole my D90 while I was on my business trip. >=/

I'm going to try this one out but the Otterbox case doesn't look terrible (if you don't mind the bulkiness).
Update:
I have been using this case for a few days now and it isn't so bad but it isn't great by any means. It fits securely and isn't much bulkier (if at all) than other hard cases on the market ATM. I do not really care for the plastic that tries to look like metal around the camera, speaker and galaxy S logo. It definitely helps with being able to grip the device.

OK... I got to drop the phone multiple times haha...
the case split opened and the back part of the case always stuck but the front part of the case went flying.
The case didnt stop it from being damaged...
My LCD is now all green.... yeay... and no I did not drop it on purpose... well after it turned green I did try it out couple more times on purpose.
But anyhow heads up... it doesn't protect the phone as I thought it might have. ^^
GL with the case though Gardener.

That sucks about your phone. Thanks for giving us a heads-up though.

one of my friend works at samsung parts department so they will be helping me out ^^
she said something about flashing my firmware... im not sure if she meant the one we just got from OTA/Kies mini or something only samsung employees have...
will give a heads up on that too.

Maybe she'll hook you up with the official Captivate Froyo update. That would be pretty sweet.

Got the case today, decided to take some first-hand pictures. Unfortunately I have to wait until Friday until it can wrap around a phone. But, I figured I would post some photos and first impressions.
I must say that it feels amazing in your hand. The material is soft, but not too soft. Build quality of the case appears to be very nice. There are a few spots where it appears there are rough edges, but once on a phone they would not be noticeable.
The case in it's package
Here you can see the felt material on the inside of the case
Back of case
Bottom
Compared to my Hero w/ a cheapo hard/rubberized case
So there is a soft felt-like material in there....hmm... will definitely need to look into that. If you drop your phone, how well do you think the case would handle it?
I love hard shell outside/rubber interior cases because they can take a beating (wife's Speck iPhone case)

If it's anything like my Hero's case, it will do great. The case is taking a nice beating but the phone is mint.
i used the simple silicone skin from sprint with my hero and it was great. it definitely attracted lint and was hard to take out of the pocket, but i dropped the phone on concrete numerous times and it just bounced with absolutely no damage to the phone, even when dropped screen-down. i'm worried the seidio case would be less shock absorbent as it's not really rubber

My Hero's case has held up really well. I dropped my phone on my garage floor and it slid about 2 feet. No damage to the phone.
its alot like the best buy one made by Seidio seen in this thread http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=207109
Now, all you need is the phone! lol
Seidio Innocase looks hot.
I ordered my Seid case but I think I might have screwed myself. I'll most likely order the big battery when it is released and I assume I'll need a different case. Does Seidio usually mane an Innocase for the larger battery?
Best Buy carries the same case but under a Best Buy house brand name. The Seidio name is on the box though. On the back of the case it says "Pt" instead of Seidio. Just got it today. They have it in gun metal, black, and purple. $29.99. It's an awesome case. Perfect fit.

Push lightly on the back of the lower half where the two halves come together, then pull the top part off. I had trouble at first, but it came off after I did that.

Thanks for providing that tip on how to remove this case. I had a hard time removing it earlier. Which by the way, I was able to to remove it but not by the way you just described. Your way is way better
Thanks
I have one too as I have for my Treo Pro and Hero. I find that my Evo case is loose at spots? Anyone else find this? It might just be mine.

I actually thought it was a little loose, too. The case is clipped on snug, but it feels a bit wobbly in certain areas. Definitely not something that takes away from the quality of the case, but I wish it were a bit more snug.
This case and clip are amazing..I can clip it for work and put in my front pocket when I'm out..

you know you could put a piece of tissue paper in the areas that you think could use a bit more snugness. Any extra tissue coming out from the sides can be removed with tweezers

$4 Black Silicone Case from Amazon

My kids love watching movies on my wife's phone and have dropped it a few times, but luckily no scratches or dents yet. Since there weren't many choices locally, I decided to get the "Black Silicone Case" from Amazon since it was around $4 shipped.
It shipped from Van Nuys, CA and took three days... which is a little odd because I'm in Hollywood, CA which is about 10 miles away... Thanks USPS!
The case is pretty thick and seems like it'll take a few drops. It's on par with other silicone cases in terms of feel. The fit is good, nice and tight, and ports all line up.
Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Silicone-Samsung-Captivate-SGH-I897/dp/B003Z741PK/

hows the quality?
I got the black Amzer jelly case from Amazon. IMHO the quality is perfect.
I got this one because it has the textured grip feel on the sides and because the corners are thicker. I figure that thicker corners would do better at shock isolation.
It's pretty good quality. The only other silicone case I've had some time with was for the Blackberry Bold and it was Blackberry branded. I'd say they're the same. I'd say it's the same as the Amzer one but a lot cheaper. I'm not a big fan of the Amzer cases because of the design on the silicone and their hard case having the extra material at the top, with hole for the sensors, it's bit tacky looking.
is it bendable or pretty stiff?
...sorry about all the questions, im interested

It's really soft, the edges around the screen give pretty easily. It's not soft to the point where the phone is going to pop right out, there's enough of a lip around the screen to keep that from happening. It's tight all the way around so the phone doesn't move around in it. Seriously though if you don't like it, you're only out $4. That was my reasoning anyway.
good point thanks! nice to have people give their reviews and deals on things

Black Silicone Case / Skin / Cover for Samsung Captivate SGH-I897
i went to a mall kiosk today and put my phone inside one of these and it is really slick... the lady seemed irritated that I didn't want to purchase it. feels like a dry-ish dolphin
The case I got was the opposite, it's pretty damn sticky... like sticks to your pant pockets or the inside pocket inside my wife's purse. Also picks up a ton of lint, dust, etc. I'm starting to dislike it...
^^^ I just received mine yesterday. I would have to agree with you on the lint part.
For $4 and change, I won't complain. This will have to do until I find a good hard shell.

I got mine today. Great quality. It was exactly what I needed
I just ordered the set with the case, charger, and screen protector. Like kkeo and whitesedan I don't like the fact that it's pretty sticky and picks up lint pretty bad since I keep it in my top shirt pocket at work. I also don't like the seam where it's molded together. I'll need to take a razor to it so I can smooth it out. But then again for $6.19 shipped that's pretty good. It fit's perfect I just don't like how sticky it is. I'm still looking around for a case to replace it but this one works pretty good for the cost.
I have this same one and it's pretty good, a bit sticky though. The grip however in your hand is great, actually take photos better now because it grips so well. It's soft and easy to take off when I need to change the battery, (I bought this ebay $10 charger and dual extra batteries deal).

We need a battery cover with a kickstand built in

The other day I was playing with my father in laws evo 4g and I realized something. How hard can it be to petition these case companies to make a battery cover with a built in kickstand like the evo 4g has. I dont care about the added bulk as long as it makes it easier for me to watch movies. The body glove cases dont count because they are either too obtrusive as far as screen access or dont offer enough protection. I repeat, I am talking about a battery cover, not a case. So lets hear what your ideas are, if we get enough responses maybe we can organize a campaign to have it made with Quirky or some other manufacturer.

While this would be nice we need to jump the first hurdle and that would be getting an extra battery cover made. I think this could be a real business opportunity with all these phones and gorilla glass cases will be less and less appealing and users will go more and more for customized battery covers. In our case the battery cover is the entire back so we can change the entire phone with one item.
So what we need is someone who is able to build a prototype that can be a starting point for modifications. So do we have any takers. I am good with electronics but I dont have any practical knowledge as far as machining goes. How awesome would it be to have a soft touch plastic or aluminum battery cover with a kickstand.

same here i have tried to build a few prototypes before and ended up breaking them in half. The only thing is this battery case would have to add some thickness due to the fact that the battery case is so thin.
Are you thinking more like the Evos kick stand or body gloves? If i recall correctly the kickstand is build into the phone for the evo and the case only goes around that rather than as a part of the battery cover itself.

More like evo's but it could be a part of the cover instead of some sort of snap on accessory, the added thickness wouldnt bother me, it would also address one of the vibrants main problems, its weight. I would love to have a cover that made the phone feel more substantial.
im in dental school and have access to materials that we use to make custom bleaching trays and custom impression trays. If i had the free time, i would try to make a custom battery cover with built in kick stand. Im sure with some time (and a little money) I could make something.
Problem is, being in dental school, I have 0 free time. anyway, if someone wants to try to make one, my suggestion would be to look up some dental materials used to make custom trays and play around with them yourself. If anyone is interested going this route, ill get the name of the material im talking about
Oh, you mean like this?

While it may be a little out of reach to force Samsung to provide a novelty item such as a Kickstand there are a few ideas in this thread that are free, functional and completely un-invasive as far as glue, tape, other means of mounting etc... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776328

For $13 it's not a bad deal and the video review uses a Vibrant as a test phone
Might grab one soon, if I do I'll post my thoughts too
I would love a kickstand replacement cover. Hell Id love just a replacement cover. I start to drool when I think of one with a nice tacky rubber back. Like a gecko pad or ribbed rubber fins that would make the thing far less likely to slip out of you hand. This thing is so slick that I was typing a text and my wife sneezed across the room and the SOB flew right out of my hands.
How about this one. I already brought this one, a lot better than previously posted on this thread.

Body Glove Mirage Case Review (With Pictures)

I know there have been reviews for the body glove before, but my father has a captivate as well so I took the opportunity to take some pictures with it next to mine for those of you interested in the amount of bulk it ads. While it adds a little bit of thickness and length, I prefer the feel of it compared to running bare. It feels more solid, and less prone to slip in the hand. As for the fit, it is tight enough that I have no fears of it coming off unless I need it to. The feel of the materials is very nice, and it slides in and out of pockets easily. I got one off of ebay for about $10 with shipping, so for that price it's amazing, but I gladly would have payed the $25 or $30 stores are charging. Highly recommended!

have the same case and I've dropped this phone so many times at the bar... bounces rite back... i swear by it too!
While I like my Mirage, I like the cheap ebay "Argyle" TPU sleeves much more, They are slightly slimmer than the Mirage and they fit slightly snugger. For $8.53 they are well worth it.
Just an update, dropped my captivate for the first time today. It fell out of my pocket about 3 feet face up onto concrete. Luckily I had the case on and there was no damage whatsoever. There doesnt even seem to be any indication of an impact on the case. I'm very happy I got it!
Got one for xmas, I love it. gives it a little more girth and easier to hold onto. not rubbery as its a hard rubber but it does provide a little grip.
I very much suggest it for a case.
I dropped my phone today on the street and the body glove protected it real good and nothing happened...It fits the phone perfectly and snug to protect it...Without the case I would imagine some real damage might have been done to the phone...it doesn't come with a screen protector so that also needs to be addressed as well to make sure your phone is really protected.
I got 1 for myself and my son from the att store the day i got 2 captivates and i must say after holding the captivate with the case i cannot use it without a case anymore because it just feels to thin/light weird heh.
The only thing i noticed with the body glove (bought mine "OEM" off ebay) is that fitting it over the top left a slight scuff on the corner(those that are visible only at a specific angle). It might just be how i put on the case although
Just wanted to say thanks for this review with the great pics. I just bought 2 of these cases (one for me, one for my wife). Both of us love them, definitely gives the phone a better, sturdier feel to it.

+1 I can't go without the case either. It feels like it will fly out of my hand at any moment.

Not at all. Doesn't collect dust, lint or anything else from being in and out of my pocket all day. FYI....you can get them fairly cheap on Ebay. Just search for "Samsung Captivate Body Glove" I got a brand new one for around $12 shipped.

Ya my father has a silicone case and I know what you're talking about, its always covered in dirt and dust. There is really no problem of that with the bodyglove except for the occasional dust collecting in the usb port, but thats expected with any case.

Not if you close the USB port cover.
This was the first case I picked up when I got my Captivate in July. Since then I have gotten other cases by Seido and Otterbox but I always come back to this one. Has a more substantial feel to it and doesn't add much bulk. Very nice case.
I think this case is really good cause you have a lot of space to press the volume button and to slide the charging thing. Definitely a great case. Got mine for about 13-14 dollar on the internet.

How easy is it to get the phone in and out of this case? I often put my phone in a Samsung dock at night. I had one of those hard shell cases, but they are a ***** to open so I pitched it.

It's not to bad it's fairly flexible material but stiffer then silicone.
I had/have one of the Incipio cases and it's nice but a royal pain to get off and it's scratched like a hockey puck now. My wife bought the pink mirage case when we got our phones and I wish I had bought my mirage case sooner. Excellent case for the Cappy IMO.

Clip Case by Pryo Skins!!! AWESOME!!!

So I was given the opportunity to test out 2 cases by Pyro Skins. This is one of them and it is my favorite for sue. It's made of high quality materials. It fits the tab perfectly and the clips hold the tab very firmly without even coming close to marking up the tab. It doesn't add too much bulk to the already thin tab. It doesn't cover any of the hardware buttons at all. It feels great to carry around and it looks really classy. I would definitely recommend this case to anyone! This company did an awesome job with this one and
there isn't anything I think I would change about it.

Thanks for the review.
After i saw this i instantly bought it. Looks very good and the price is amazing
Wow, that case does look amazing, probably the best one so far.
And this is why it sucks to be an early adopter of electronics, when the first come out there are no good cases for it. Then you buy one or two and not happy with it, a few months go by and then new and better cases flood the market.
Used to happen with me all the time with how often I switched Blackberry's. I have Ghost Armor on my GT so I will stick with that until more cases are out.
But I may have to buy this one for now, it looks sick.
Update: Said screw it and bought it, for how good it looks and the price I would have hated myself for waiting and then it being back-ordered.
Do a google search for a coupon code for that site and you can find a 5% off coupon.
do you have any discount coupon code ?

I love the review you gave. Hilarious! Shaken baby...the case definitely offers a super high level of protection, which is something you absolutely need for such an expensive toy.
weird, looks exactly like the acase i bought off amazon
i'll post pics tomorrow
Seems tough to get the two bottom hooks out to angle it. I'm scared it'll wear the edges out over time due to it. What a shame. Close to perfection...
PS - Is it just me or do the side flaps block a bit of the speakers?!

Really ? The two bottom hooks come out nice for me. They'll probably loosen up a little after some time. As for the speakers, the hooks are just right at the bottom of the speakers on mine. Wouldn't effect anything.
Url for this, please?

thanks for the review task.
How is the weight compared to other cases?
Same as my Acase Folio, which I love, reviewed at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153572
The Acase lacks the opening for charging while the case is closed.
Can anyone post a picture/video of the Clip Case angled on the locking flap? I want to see if it is usable while on that shallow angle.

It will not go that shallow. There is a friction/spring action type thing that prevents it. If you were to force it down (which makes it feel like its going to snap) it will pop back up. Additionally, if forced down so the bottom of the tab touches the lip, the tab would be flat and not angled.
If I'm understanding what you are saying, there is no way to do it.
I ordered this case on Saturday and my wife said it was delivered today already...
Now that was fast
