Hello everyone,
This case looks cool. http://cgi.ebay.com/CARBON-FIBER-DESIGN-Phone-Cover-Case-Samsung-Vibrant-/130415205810?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e5d5a1db2Anyone tried it yet?
to be honest it looks kinda cheap cause its that fake painted carbon fiber stuff lol but me as im not only a phone enthusiast im a car enthusiast as well so the fake carbon fiber doesnt really pull me in but on another note a guy at my work has a rubber type of case i think from tmobile which looks decent and feels ok the buttons are covered by the rubber but still seem to be hard if you know what i mean
Yeah, it's fake and it's one of those snap on cases too. One drop, and it'll fall apart most likely breaking the prongs that keep it together.
i work with CF and looks wise, it looks fine - not sure what weave or weight CF you're used to seeing
as to the hard plastic part, i agree - no drop cushioning and would probably break first time you dropped it
Lol, trying to be like the Carbon Fiber on sneakers .

Lol, sorry but I work with Carbon Fiber as well, been doing it for years. I could tell at first glace that it was fake.
Also, if you would have scrolled down a little it says "Not Real Carbon, it's Plastic."
knew it was fake, just that it wasn't that bad for faux CF
our printer did some signage panels for a tradeshow booth, he borrowed some CF panels we had done - he didn't like the artwork he had on file, so he wanted some to photograph -
couldn't believe what he turned out

Ohhh.... lol
not sure but it looks like you still find my response funny - okay, i'll respond in kind
i'll give a little more definition to my earlier response -i'm not a prima donna, but i have worked with and seen enough carbon fiber, both in person and photographed - and to be frank i can't comprehend how anybody can tell from a photograph whether it's real or not (i know, i read the text, it's fake) but, given not truly being able to tell if it's poor lighting or poor photography. Even with great photography, you;re only working with two shades of the grayscale when photographing CF - i've seen products that were fabricated from CF look fake or look questionable, so i assume you must have the ability to divine it and that's what gives you your sense of superiority
i've been around too long to take guff from anyone - arrogance usually generates guff, and arrogance is usually a substitute for a lack of any real substance
have a good laugh
ill let u knw. i got one on the way and should have in couple days then i will post more on it and attach some better pics of it

No, no, no... the lol was not to you, but to myself for taking your first comment the wrong way. About the photography part, it's what I do for a living btw. One of my clients is a company called 360 Forged. They were one of the first to start the whole Carbon Fiber wheel craze for high end cars.
Though the wheels were not full Carbon Fiber, but more of an overlay. I understand, and seen many times over the process with the resin, vacuum seal, and everything else that goes along with it. Remind you that I would shoot the whole process as well.
I understand it's hard to tell the difference between real, or fake CF by just looking at a photograph no matter what the lighting conditions are. Only reason why I picked this one out as a fake right away was due to it's transparency. I believe it's the second image where the case is facing upwards? You can see that it's semi transparent, and in my experience shooting CF I've never seen that before.
I apologize if you took what I said above as an attack towards your comments, but that truly was not the case.

although this is very much FAKE painted on carbon fiber and doesnt look anything like the real thing, its a decent knock off. if you want to wait for a few more weeks and are willing to spend $20, samsung actually has a carbon fiber case coming out, its real CF too. I am waiting for the day it becomes available

well i received my carbon fiber case today and its pretty nice for a fake carbon look. it fits very snug on phone and the inside of case is silver and the outside has a little bit of a rubber feel to keep from slip from hand. i give it a 7 out 10 for a good case
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740574 this look better IMO well at least the battery cover part
i think this one is better imo well it wont let me post urls lol look for skinomi techskin
Got one 3 days ago pretty good for $8 seller ships out fast. Like the feel of it, has a rubber feel, just enough to keep it from falling out of your pocket. Not planning on dropping my phone to test it's duarbility.

i couldnt wait for a carbon fiber case so for the time being i got some of that di-noc cf vinyl, and covered one of the spare covers with it. heres what it looks like
Sorry if this has already been asked, but the search function is down right now.
I'd LOVE to have a wood or bamboo case for my Vibrant like the way these iphone cases are made: grovemade.com
Anyone have a lead or know someone that will make custom cases out of wood or bamboo?
wow i went to that site and all i can say is wow. that is amazing. i have never seen anything like that for the vibrant but if you find anything let me know! i'm thinkiing of trying it out myself, i'm may be able to make something liek that, minus the laser engraving, it would be just wood, simple but could be cool.
woooooooow. That plain wood amber case is soooo tight. i would definately drop the cash to have one of those that thing looks amazing. My guess would be it would be way more difficult to do a case for the vibrant tho. Iphone 4 is pretty simple and symmetrical. Vibrant is curvy, and has that hump on the bottom of it, i like the way it looks but making a case out of bamboo would be difficult.
It would be GREAT to see some Android logos and guys on that. Wonder how well it holds up to water (washing it) and dropping (breakage)....
If it's Oak im sure it can take a fall its really tough not like that pine crap. As long as it has a good finish on it like Polycrylic or some type of clear coat, it'll be water-proof. I'm definately interested in something like this, I would make one but sadly I don't have access to any woodshop equipment anymore.
ok guys, i posted a week ago that i was thinking about trying to make one of these, and i'm pretty serious about it now. I'm no expert, but i've helped build a few houses and random jobs here and there so i've worked with wood alot. Never anything this small and precise though. I've been gathering up tools and bits for the wood work and i'm about to get started. I can't find any bamboo but i'm probably gonna use oak...we'll see how it goes, may take a week, may take 23 years, who knows. I'll definately post pics when i'm done though. the trickiest part is definately gonna be the hump on the back at the bottom.
I sure hope they start making these. those things are sexy
Never mind.
iPhone gets all the cool accessories -_-

well call me a fashionista becuz i want some cases that actually look decent on my vibrant.. no just some generic stuff.
If it's just the look you want why not try vinyl shelf paper/contact paper? That stuffs pretty durable, cheap and you can get it in oak, bamboo, whatever you want.
Go green guys! Save the environment.
Environment my ass.
Email them at [email protected] and ask them to consider making wooden cases for the Vibrant. More people that contact them, meaning more potential customers, the more reason they would consider making it for us.
Back case?

you mean wood veneer? like wood skin right? I've used the stuff on little boxes I've made and it looks beautiful but the tricky part is when you glue it to the wood you want to put it on top of you need something HEAVY to be on top of the ENTIRE thing otherwise it has air pockets and curls up with makes it a real ***** to fix.
but I want real wood! So if I'm about to jinx something, I can knock on my phone.

If someone started making these, i would definitely go in on buying one. I'm pretty bummed that all the high quality cases and accessories are only for iphone, where's the android love??

It's a good and bad thing for us.
I just got the seidio case and hate it. I would love to see a legit case like the one in the op too.

review:
After my first disapointing buy from ebay i bought this "sexy"
synthetic leather case.
Its weight is 290 grams.
Is a very-very slim case and when it closed, the case is tightly fixed on the tablet.
It has 3 deep grooves for standing and the tablet is very stable in these positions.
The philosophy of this case is "to not hiding nothing from the tablet when you use it."
On the back side there is a gentle opening for the camera.
It smells like leather.
The close clip aplly a good force to keep the case closed.
Every button or socket of the tablet is accesible with closed case
And finally i am happy, and this is the most important
Looks good, does it have a typing angle? What is the name?
also are you able to charge the tab without having the case open? i have one such and i need to have my case open each time i charge which is a pain
This is maybe the case I'm looking for. Can you please share the name and the link for the case. Since you can't post links, replace for examples the dots of the url with spaces or some other characters.
Maybe this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320786081962#ht_2592wt_1165
You have to open the case when charging (if I remember right).
I bought this. Premium quality indeed.
EDIT:
cheaper one

I must say the case looks really nice!
I was wondering about the 3 viewing angles though - do they firmly support the Tab? Would hate to buy it and then find out it slips and falls out when I set it up on one of the angles (I saw that happen before...). Also, is it possible to use this case to prop your Tab up when you put it in your lap (in bed or something similar)? Or is it too flimsy?
And do you feel the extra weight when you carry the tab around? I really love how light it is right now, you don't even notice you have it in your bag (with the standard samsung pouch on) and it's really easy to hold it in one hand and typing with the other if you're walking around the house.

The gaps for the 3 viewing angles are deep enough, and yes you can use it in your lap, my wife do it often.

is still light it is just 290 grams more.
but if you want to use it with one hand, i think that the best way is
to hold it in portrait like a book because the total weight is about 850 grams
Well you got me sir, just ordered one myself. Hope it works as well as you described
Will report back once I have it and test it out a bit ^^
Can anyone confirm if this will fit tmobile galaxy tab 10.1?
Sent from my SGH-T859 using XDA App
Isn't it the same size? If it is, it should fit... can't help you out there though as I have a 7500 one.
The same case, with a new name, posted once again in a new thread. This was $12 on amazon last week.
Really? I sure couldn't find it when I looked (didn't look really hard though)
Doesn't really matter though, if it's a good case I'm more then willing to spend $23 on it. The most basic samsung pouch costs 25€ (about $35) here :S.

Aye, you're right. Wouldn't help me though, since amazon tells me that "there is a slight problem with my order" (they can't ship it to my place for some reason).
Still, good to know a cheaper option might exist for some people, thanks!

For people trying to find one from the UK...
I purchased a look a like case from here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005ECHQ4C
I was struggling to find it as cheap as in the US for example.
The one from the above link, seem to be very good so far. All viewing angles work great, both on a flat surface and on my lap. The typing position is my most used.
'Leather' quality seems good so far. Of course it is going to add some weight, but not really an issue for me. ALL ports/buttons are fully accessible, inc charging when case is closed.
its a great case
Just finished my review of this case and it is really impressive.
Here is the video review, it includes a fully underwater test
I'll do a full comparison with the Lifeproof S3 case as soon as that arrives.

Since always, if you get away with it though then enjoy
Btw this case is horrible dont waste your money back button takes forever to respond to your touch if it responds at all , the touch sensitivity sucks , the only way you can talk to people is on speaker phone ,
When you try to talk to someone on the phone they can hardly hear you , and when your listening to them best way to describe it is they sound like robots
When you watch tv or your phone rings the sound is so muffed and distorted it vibrates the phone
Just prove that I actually do have this case pictures attached lol

I am already looking on swappa.com for a new one. I also called the renters policy to see if they cover it if it was Stolen we shall see what they say
When Seidio had their February giveaways I decided what the heck and posted on their blog. Lo and behold I won a free case. Now that I've had it for a couple weeks I figured I'd share my thoughts. Yes it's a beefy case, and it has protected against a few falls already. Some people say it's too "blocky", to each their own I guess. They (Seidio) say the audio is unaffected by the membrane, it definitely is, but is greatly improved with the bottom flap open. The screen protector is great. Nice and smooth, the dots that people complain about are quite visible at some angles, but never really bother me. The back button is tricky at times being in the corner where it is, but the menu button which is in the same "situation" seems fine. Touch sensitivity seems fine, rarely do I notice skipping swipes or missed taps. Dragging down from the top is fine from either side of the speaker cover. Speaking of that speaker, I haven't really noticed much difference on calls, maybe a little muffled but not much. No echo a few people mention and I seem to sound fine at the other end. All in all I like the case, it's not perfect, but a good compromise for the protection.
I just bought and started using this case and so far I really like it. Yes, sound is a little muffled but far from unusable, and the screen protector is great. I read lots of reviews and many said the screen was unresponsive and the menu and back buttons were hard to use...I say bull honkers to that. I'm not sure what those people are doing but the screen works without any issues and its actually better than the lifeproof case I had been using.
It's not any more bulky than a defender or the puregear case I had before, it doesn't feel overly large or bulky and it actually looks pretty good IMO.
It's not for everybody but if you want great protection don't be scared off by the negative reviews. I'll post up pictures of mine when I get the time and ill post back after I've used it a little while but initial impressions are really good.
Here's a somewhat long term use update, after a few weeks of use now I still really like this case. It is definitely "installation sensitive", I've opened the case a couple times now and if I follow the exact procedure and take my time things sound fine, but a couple times I've rushed the installation and the phone sounded terrible afterwards. It seems to be dependent on how the phone's microphone lines up with the openings in the case, apparently if you don't position the phone just-right the microphone will be covered and make you sound like Charlie Brown's teacher - wah wah wah...
When it's installed right things are great, and 3 days now it's saved my phone. I got caught in a down pour on my way home from work one day on the motorcycle, the phone would have been ruined without this case. Seidio has a 20% discount code somebody posted in another thread so now would be a good time if you want one.

im sort of annoyed how i browsed and browsed the cases suggested on this site, and read a LOT of the threads/pages...and people who got white cases, or had experience with them, never mentioned how the white will diminish and dis-color.
i have a nilkin case that was highly suggested here, so i got one from ebay for 10. case is exactly what i wanted, but after a few weeks i started to notice my white case turn a bit rusty-browny/ish. my otterbox iphone 4s case was white, and also picked up ink from jeans or something after so long. if i knew all of this i would have never gotten another white case... i figured the otterbox just picked up crap, and was willing to try somethin else light.

Whats wrong if he shared his experience. Isn't it one of the reasons to converge on the forums. His purchase was based at-least partly on research and recommendations here. It didn't pan out for him and he posted. You need to loosen up a bit
Yep.. white discolors, lesson of life lol.
the UAG might not discolor cause it has clearcoat on it (I think, right?)
As for rubber/silicone/TPU white cases, try a magic eraser.

Ok so I read on JD power the 2013 Honda civic was best car for 2013 in it's class. I bought it. Now I hate this pos! Did I go to Honda forum and cry about it? Nope I mand up! Everyone knows white discolors/gets dirty fast. Maybe I was outta line but that's how I felt
P.S it's like he is mad at everyone because no one told him the white would discolor boooohooo in the words if Justin Timberlake "Cry me a river"

If you don't like his post, dont read it, dont open it, just ignore it.
It doesnt violate any rules as far as I can tell, however your responses to him are borderline harassment
I too find it odd he did not realize white tends to get dirty. But now he knows, and maybe others out there didn't know but will see this thread now.
No big deal.

Its not a question of like/dislike or buyers remorse. If there is an issue with the product and/or its advertized features, then yes, I will gripe, be it a civic or a beemer or the might pencil. Of late , a lot of sellers who stand behind the quality of their products have some sort of active/passive monitoring on social boards (check Amazon/Newegg) for feedback on their products and sometimes that is the quickest way to a resolution.
ok i need to get over my wasted 10 dollars. you need to get over me complaining about it...if i was looking for a new car and read a lot of positive (biased) reviews about that car, i would want someone to share their good [AND] bad experiences of the car..lets say the car has no cup holders, and 99 percent of the posters failed to mention that..what if i drove long distances and needed cup holders? and you were the only one that mentioned it had no cup holders. --NOPE dont do that. you're whining and crying about it. (dumb example i know lol)
its 10 dollars, just like you said. not a huge deal, although a lot of cases are more 20-50 dollars. im not making a huge deal about it. i was just trying to warn other people. what if someone is hung up between two cases, and they cant decide which one. and maybe my thread helped them pick what color they would like a little more easier because they're not reading the same post over and over ("oh this case is good")
Just wanted to let you guys know, the back of your phone will get scratched if you accidentally drop it without a case on it. HTC didn't list this in their product description, So I am letting you know.
I've got an OEM Samsung white case on my Note 2 and it's it's fared very well. I've had it for months and it hasn't discoloured or gotten dirty. It all depends on the material that the case is made out of.
I'm looking for a case for the One that I have now and I've used a Nillkin case before and it was black and it was great.
I guess it also depends on how dirty your hands and pockets are too.
Wow. Y'all need to get your panties out of a wad and get off the OP's back. It was just a post letting ppl know his experience with the case. Go find your next victim. Geez. -_-

Well I have the nillkin white flip case for over a month now and it is fine. Granted it being white it does get dirty real fast so it needs cleaning constantly, I have been doing this and its been fine for me so far.

I'd tend to lean with the "what's the point" crowd on this one-- no offense, OP, but this is kind of par for the course with...well, anything white! Which really does suck, because I know a lot of people prefer that aesthetic-- personally, dark and understated colors have always done me better.
That said, I'd also echo the sentiment that it varies from case to case. $10 cases are just about always going to be a hit-or-miss-- for that kind of cost, it's unlikely that the manufacturer invested in quality materials, especially if plastics are involved. Those will discolor on contact with just about anything "unusual" in the environment. I don't think TPU cases discolor much though, so if you want a cheap white option you could look into one of those.
Of course, the worst case scenario with these is if discoloration happens outside of the return period.
Yeah, I tend to avoid white matte plastic cases. The polished ones don't stain quite as easily, but scuffs are very apparent.

im sort of annoyed how i browsed and browsed the cases suggested on this site, and read a LOT of the threads/pages...and people who got white cases, or had experience with them, never mentioned how the white will diminish and dis-color.
i have a nilkin case that was highly suggested here, so i got one from ebay for 10. case is exactly what i wanted, but after a few weeks i started to notice my white case turn a bit rusty-browny/ish. my otterbox iphone 4s case was white, and also picked up ink from jeans or something after so long. if i knew all of this i would have never gotten another white case... i figured the otterbox just picked up crap, and was willing to try somethin else light.

I got a white body glove case and it is still just as white as the day I got it...
sadly, my thread didnt reach the two members on this website that got the nillkin white case, and are now disappointed and wish they got something else, because their case as well yellowed.

Uh, umad bro? If you want to go hang your heads in collective misery, a PM would probably be a lot more efficacious.
Seriously.. how do people not know white gets dirty easily?
Heres a few more tips:
Matte/rough surfaces tend to get dirty easily and stain.
Glossy/smooth surfaces tend to be easy to clean off, the gloss is a clear coat that protects the paint under it. Stains usually just wipe off.
Light colors tend to get stained because they are light, so any dirt/dyes will show up very clearly.
Your jeans were made with a lot of dye, it is highly likely that your case will get stained by that too, especially if your jeans get a bit wet (due to the rain for example).
