Just checked samsung online store, they removed "out of stock" text and "buy from samsung" enabled now.
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=accessories
I was just going to post the same thing.
$20 for the Samsung one or this thing on Ebay looks the exact same for $8?

Anyone???
I would venture to say that the OEM ones are generally a little bit better quality (sometimes a whole lot better) than the 3rd party eBay ones. However, it really depends how picky on details you are with a case.
If you want something that is "good enough" than the eBay case is probably fine, but if you are a stickler for flush casing, perfect lines, etc. - then OEM is probably a better way.
Samsung's is Carbon Fiber, Ebay is just fiber.
I went with Samsung's.
BTW, use code SUMMER2010 for 10% off.
debating whether to get a case at all ... i kind of like the phone being thin and the design of it. you guys think it's just wiser to invest in a case and not worry about marring the OEM finish ?
$23ish (Tax/Shipping) for a case or blow $5/mo plus a $125 deductible on Insurance??? Kindof no brainer to me. Dropping your phone is 95% of the ways you'll damage it and, this covers it.
I also wouldn't worry about the OEM case harming the OEM phone, it's probably got some rubberized texture on the inside.
Would love to hear some reviews on this case.

+`1. I got an email yesterday or the day before about it being in stock. "GALAXYS" works still. I think the email said it would be availible in ~2 weeks, but it let me order it regardless.

It says free flat USPS when you do not enter your state/city/zip. Once you enter those it will show your shipping.
oh ok that makes sense. but i completed the order and it had all my correct info. anyway, maybe it was a fluke.
Just placed an order. Hope the quality is a lot better than my crappy Incipio case.

I don't know, I ordered an iPod case from ebay five years ago and I'm still using it. It was only seven dollars but has lasted a long time. It fits good as well. I think some of the cases on ebay may be bad but some can be very good. IMO that one on ebay looks like a good case. I even thought about buying it.
I'd like to see some better pictures of the Samsung case.
captivate body cover
anyone hane idea about which one is better body glove from att or the one from samsung site?? Also there are not many images available of hard case from samsung..any idea how it is??

What's a god cheap case for this tablet? I've seen some on amazon for about $20 but don't know if there's anything better for around the same price. I'm looking for a case and not a cover.
Look at the Pyroskin cases. http://www.pyroskins.com
Task has done reviews on a couple of them in this section. Picked up the Clip case last night (waiting on delivery), but from what I hear it's a great case at that price range.
thanks I'll look into it
It can be more expensive... but believe is very nice.
I have one of this:
http://www.gumdropcases.com/
Probably it isn't good for who want use the samsung acessories!
Just got the 360 case from pyroskins its a well made case that doesnt add much bulk. allows the tab to stand in portrait or landscape.. highly recommend it

BLUREX Leather Folio Case w/Stand
leather folio case with a stand to top it off. pretty basic case from a kind of cheap brand, but for $4 plus no tax and free shipping (considering you got a month of prime with your KF), it's steal deal. it was out of stock Wednesday but came back Thursday, so it'll be back in stock this week. I ordered one yesterday, it'll be here monday

One-handed use?
Can anyone who has received and started using their Blurex case please let me know how this case works one-handed? I can't tell if the cover will fold all the way over flat or not and it seems as if the clasp piece may make it awkward to hold on the left hand side. Any pictures of it fully opened would be a huge help!
Thanks in advance!

,I have the vipertek case, same exact case different name. It lays back flat when open. The clasp sticks out but imho it helps your hand steady it easier when using one handed, either hand feels good different ways of holding but comfortable. Don't have camera or would get a picture.

Shows it on the preorder page. Currently 87/1400 with 30 days to go.
JUST PREORDERED! #89!
This is going to be the case that keeps our ONEPLUS protected but gives us our precious back which we all love to feel!
PREORDER PEOPLE!
Idk if we'll get enough people to pre-order to even get this bumper made. I mean It's still in the double digits.
There is 30 days left and they will give you a refund if they dont get enough. This is by far the most beastly case you can get for our phone. PREORDER SO WE CAN GET THIS SICK CASE! There is no reason not too!
If they reach 70% of there goal they start production so lets get there!
#96 here
You have nothing to lose, money will be returned if they don't make the 1400. Plus it's only day 3, and there are 30 days left! That's on track for 3000+.

Well if you look at an Otterbox they start at $40 bucks. This is a premium case for our beautiful phone. The company has incredible screen protectors and there cases have proven to be really protective.
I want to protect my device but still have the back open. This is the case to do that.
If you don't want a one of a kind case for our device than don't purchase. This is basically the only high end case from a high end company, I pre-ordered right away.
1500 pre-orders... lol...
So they want you to pre order a bumper for $30 without seeing it.
You know you CAN see the one they made for the iPhone.
Personally, I am not a fan of bumper cases, I do realize that the bulk of the damage on a phone happens on its' sides but I just can't help it, I want a case that covers the back too. That's why my favorite kind of cases are the hybrid "TPU on the sides + a hard back" type.
I can however understand the guys that want to see and touch the back too, especially one as unique as the One's.
If this bumper came fused to a hard back too I could prolly see myself paying the 30+ USD price.
Use a rubber band.

This is NOT a casing, it's a mere bumper. An Otterbox is a fully protective casing.
$30 for a bumper only; or,
$40 for a fully protective casing.
Which do you think is more valuable? Unless Evolutive Labs show us the design and prove that their bumper really works on this device, I'm not buying this. You cannot believe them right away by watching their iPhone demo. The iPhone is thicker and is easier to get protection from the bumpers. The OnePlus One is very thin and how do you think a bumper (unless bulky), is going to protect the device?
And no, they have NO cases sold or made and used by the consumers. There is nothing to be proven. The iPhone crashguard is still in the Kickstarter stage. Nobody have used it, nobody have proved that their crashguard actually works. This is Evolutive Labs's first take on a bumper.
While I do like their screen protector, but there are still some things that I'm not satisfied but I'm not going into that here. Well, it's up to you. It's your money after all. Okay, how about you prove it to us that it works when it gets on your hands (IF this thing actually make it into production)? For science, of course.
hi guys, title says it all really, got the fire phone on the way, any case recommendations..
you can grab a shockproof case for £4 off the bay, any good do you think, what about an amzer case, are they good cases,
cheers guys

I picked up the Spigen case from Amazon. It's built well and fitment is great. It came with the screen protector. Like many others report, it has a lot of issues. Their customer service is a joke regarding the known issue as they request photos and vidoes. Really? All they had to do was read the Amazon reviews to see the first run was faulty.
Either way, the case is solid. Just don't get their screen protectors.
i ended up getting a tpu case for £1.90, its pretty darn good, also a tempered glass screen protector ive put on, im pretty confident its well protected now..

I bought this case it fits great all buttons are easy to use with it on. The only issue one might have is the cut out on the bottom for the USB port may not be big enough for some third party USB cord ends.

You've probably come across this. Its a little bulkier than I hoped but its growing on me. I love the tempered glass but wish I hadn't been so eager to stick it on--no bubbles, just the tiniest piece of lint inside. Its hardly noticeable, and undetectable unless the screen is lighter background, but those things bother me. Next time I'll use latex gloves to apply it.
I like the glass back to but not crazy about the amazon logo being in full view. What do people think about a nice android logo or cyanogenmod decal?
Also...the headphone cut out doesn't leave room for larger audio jacks. It doesn't affect me but Some peoples car jacks won't connect.
Overall excellent buy for the money.

Thanks for the tip. For $9, it's like buying the tempered glass and getting the case for free. Definitely worth a try with no real downside if it turns out to be too bulky.

It was a great deal. To be honest, only reason its bulkier than I thought was because one of the reviews said it was "less bulky than expected..." But the pic in the ad doesn't really mislead. It'll probably be the same size as you imagine--about a half inch thick.
And take my advice applying the glass. Its super easy but read it through first and keep it as clean as possible.

Thanks for posting this. Is the back of this case glossy like the sides/edges, or is frosted/dull? It looks frosted from the photos, but I'm not a 100% sure. I'm looking for a similar case that's glossy all over.

AT&T store case sale
Local AT&T stores seem to be having a fire sale on Fire Phone cases. I picked up a nice Speck case, retail $35 for $5. They had several other cases there too. This has also been mentioned on Slickdeals re the eBay Fire Phone/Amazon Prime deal (the price of the eBay deal seems to change from $139 to $189 depending on the sellers mood).

I got a white case from Speck with the CandyShell design.
http://www.speckproducts.com/amazon.html
They had the Blue and the Pink. They also had a leather case that said 50% off of $35, but when they rung it up it was $5. Leather was nice and small but offered little protection...no raised lip around the display.
There might have been some others...don't remember them all. They were on a clearance rack.

I found the Incipio extended battery case at my local ATT store marked down from 90 to 10. You pretty much just have to go ask and someone will go dig around in the back and find what they have. I also picked up a regular incipio case with the aluminum back, but is kind of warped already and doesn't stay on that well. For 5 bucks, it's not even worth taking back to exchange!
I just bought the Amazon Polyurethane Case for Fire Phone, Blue when I purchased the phone they had them for $10. It works great, doesn't get in the way of the buttons/ports while still protecting the corners, and has a nice texture that isn't too slick but cleans up well. It barely adds anything to the phones dimensions as well.
I bought the Incipio Dual Shine case from an AT&T store for $10 and it has been pretty good. A little heavy, but the brushed metal back looks slick. I've dropped it a few times and it has held up.
