I just received an email from Seidio newsletter today, the Innocase for the Samsung Captivate is NOW SHIPPING!!!
seidioonline.com/category-s/4407.htm
Just placed my order!
Nice, 2 weeks after I just got my BodyGlove Mirage case. I was actually looking at this one too but wasn't sure how long it would be before they were available.
Please post your thoughts on your case when you get it (pics if possible). I'd like to know how the case fits and feels. I think it's a 2 piece (bottom and top) slip-on rather than a front and back snap together according to the pictures on their site.
It looks very similar to the OEM Samsung Carbon Fiber case which turned out to be not so good so I returned it.
Thanks!
definitely contemplating this. Been reading so-so reviews on the amzer case.
Received the same notification. Had one of these for my HTC Fuze and have been waiting patiently for this release. Ordered one as well.

Im holding out for the otterbox defender/commuter cases
Thats case linked is way to BLAH
i placed my order today as well, hopefully will be in soon. i'll be trying to sell my body glove case now, never really liked it that much.
I'm just glad to see they will be offering a range of colors. I'm going to hold out for the Amethyst.

I just got mine today and i must say i love it...
Anyone care to post pics?
Any feedback on this case?

I just got mine today and it is awesome.
I have
the clear snap on case - no gaps but is super hard to get off and feels very molded and cheap. The finish is very smooth / slippery plastic. But overall protects well.
Samsung snap on case - Much easier to remove, and has small gaps where the case snaps together. The finish is a nice velvet checkerboard. The finish is a little rough around the edges the way it was applied / could be better.
Slip in hardcase w/ optional Beltclip - Protects the screen and has an optional snap on belt clip. The phone does not slide completely into the case there is about 1/2 inch of the phone sticking out. Overall okay quality.
This Seido case - Precision made, great finish looks perfect. By far the best of all of them.

Can you please post a few pics...
Yeah I will try to get a hold of my brothers camera, or my other brothers captivate to get some pictures.
I took a bunch of pics with my bros camera. The first ones suck because I took them and didn't know he had some weird settings on it. Some of the later ones are better.
http://www.thevod.org/misc/captivate/100OLYMP/
All the pics wont be done uploading until about 30 mins from now. Also there is a video in there. And it was made with the wicked bad settings. Not sure what mode he had it in but it is a little yellow.
Thank you for the pictures and fast response! Did you also get the belt clip with that case?

Looks like the buttons would be hard to press? Mainly looking at the power/sleep button. Any issues with being able to press it?? Def interested in getting this. Have a Amzer case and it is an Ok case, and i know it is going to be some time before we get a case from Otterbox.

Not at all...similar to the Body Glove case - Here are some more pictures:

Thank you very much for all the pictures!!! I want this case but its a lot of money for a case imo. My co worker got a case and clip combo like this one for his droid x for $30! which makes me not want to pay $50 for this lol.
Anyway it looks like a really really nice case. I'm sure I will break down and buy this lol
THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

Interested in this one...
I want to see the reviews of this roll in. Getting my XOOM tomorrow, I will need something like this. but for 50 bills it needs to be perfect.
I actually bought one from him on eBay. By far worth the money. Doesn't stretch out or anything. I'm very happy with it.
Even though I have a screen protector, I wanted something that would cover the front, and this has two small magnets that keep it closed.
Again, worth it.
great find. ordering now.
Case discussion...
A few folks over on the Motorola Owner's Forums Xoom discussions are liking the KeviKev case... and a few others. It may be worth your while to go check out those threads too before buying!
Does it keep a good grip does the xoom haze a chance to fall out? Port for charging while closed?

From the pics it does look like there is a cutout for the front camera(I noticed they updated the pics of it)
about the cutouts for the ports. There are only a couple folio cases on the market that have the cutouts for the ports. I've seen videos of people using an exacto knife to cut out a hole for the ports.. Let's just say I'd much rather do that to a case that cost 15 bucks then one that's 50 hahah
I just ordered the navitech case until there is more of a selection to choose from. This one is by far my favorite but really cant think about spending $129 on a case even if it's the best looking one at this point

Can you post pics of it folded over flat (not propped up)? I'm interested in how thick it is when open and top cover folded back.
Just stumbled accross this over at Amazon/Play.
Imperial Hard Case Super Slim Black
Looks like a decent enough case, protects the back mainly, and looks very thin
http://www.amazon.co.uk/iTALKonline.../ref=sr_1_134?ie=UTF8&qid=1321528707&sr=8-134
http://www.italkonline.co.uk/imperial-hard-case-super-slim-black-samsung-i9100-galaxy-p-18107.html
STK Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 TPU Case / Black
Not sure about this one, resembles the Neo Hybrid in a way, just doesn't have sperate layers.
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/23551468/-/Product.html
Think im gunna take a gamble on the Italk one. Thin around the back, has holes in all the correct places. Looks like ir protects the phone when its turned over.
For £4.96 you can't go wrong really!
It's hard to tell from the photos whether it really does protect the front of the phone (when you place it face down). I'd be interested in what you find!
Yeah, i know what you mean. To be fair. I nver plce my phone screen way down anyway!
Came this morning, Looks promising.
Will upload pics etc in few hours
First impressions are its very nice and slim!
Cant hardly tell its there!
Pros
Slim
Feels nice
Doesn't look cheap
Gives sight screen potection (I mean slight, 1mm tops)
Cons
Doesn't give much protection to Camera
Buttons on side could irritate some people.
To be fair, i wanted a slim case, which this is. I dont intend to launch my phone around, i always place it down back first.
Ill try and add some pics of the phone in the case soon.
Shots of the phone in the case.
I apologise in advance, The worst digital camera i've ever seen used in my life!
Gives you a rough idea, if your sat here now thinking, should I, Shouldn't I buy one. Go ahead and do it! You won't be dissapointed for £4.95
Also available on eBay for about £3
Feels rather weird having this case on, been use to thickness and the lip over on the Neo Hybrid!
How's the grip with this case?
Yeah, its alright, feels nice in the hand.
Honestly its a really nice case for £4.95, or £3 on ebay.
You wont be dissapointed!
Do you have the link to the ebay one?
Ebay Link;http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-Black-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item2c60b78dc9
Im also going to try one of the following; http://www.obostore.com/nillkin-rainbow-silicone-soft-case-skin-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-p-1397.html
Do you think the phone would fit in a desktop dock with this case fitted?

Probably.
Really is sllim, Like it says on the ebay link 0.3mm thick.

never sure if these all come from the same factory or whether everyone just makes lookalikes....

Ordered! There are many similar cases on the internet but I bought this because this case fits perfectly.

Got one of these for a couple of quid off ebay and was pleasantly surprised. Wish it didn't have the shiny bits on it but it's a good case, fits perfectly.

Got the same case from same seller as the OP.
For a temp case it's bang on. Fits fine. Not too ugly. Dead cheap. £1.89 total price paid, shipped same day in a plain small jiffy bag.
Don't think there are any premium options at this stage either. The Casemate gear advertised on MobileFun and Expansys isn't in yet.
Now about an official charging dock and car mount...

I am using exactly the sam case, it seems to be of decent enough quality. All the right holes in right places and right size. Like you say it fits absolutely perfect. I particuly like the bits over the power and volume buttons and the texture for extra grip. This case is an absolute bargain costing me less than £2
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Got the same case as op bought off ebay all of the cases looked exactly the same.
why are all these cases making access holes for the dock connectors, when if you have a case on your phone, it will no longer sit in the dock?
I got this case in the post today and it fits perfectly.
Not too shabby for a temp case. Definately makes the phone easier to hold. Doesnt feel like its gonna slip out my hand anymore!
Think I am going to have to get a few.
Another positive experience here. Mine arrived today. Phone feels so much more solid in the hand. Thanks for the tip.
mine arrived today. Used link from the OP. Well pleased with the fit and look of the case for the price. The added grip is also MUCH appreciated!
Thanks again to the OP.

I guess there could be third-party docks that can fit the GN with a case on. Just need to make the fit loose enough and have long pogo pins.
Ive got the same case too and can confirm its a great fit and will do me until a proper good case comes out.
Quick update ... a few days in (and several times taken off and put back) and it hasnt stretched or warped at all ! very impreesive for the money
ive bought cheap covers before and usually regretted it but this ones a keeper

I have this case in all clear. All the holes line up correctly as long as you put it on right. The only issue I have with it is the kickstand rubs on the back of the phone when you open it and may eventually leave small marks if used enough.
I ordered the same case in black without the kickstand and I am going to put my FlyGrip back on it. This thing is awesome as long as you don't mind the extra thickness.

I received the case yesterday. I'll tell you what, if it is a knockoff, they did a pretty damn good job. The case isn't as "plasticy" as I thought it was. It has a hard rubbery feel to it. It looks exactly like the one in the pics, to a tee.

I tried out a Body Glove case at an at&t store and it feels way better than the case I mentioned above. I finally put my Flygrip on it today. It's a bit expensive, but it makes the phone more comfortable and you really can't tell the difference in your pocket. It also helps keep the speaker off wherever you placed your phone so it doesn't dampen your notifications / ringtones.
I just got my cheapo TPU kickstand case
(http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-Plastic...ccessories&hash=item4845f27e73#ht_3661wt_1396)
It's actually pretty nice so far! The matte pieces are harder plastic, and the clear parts are softer TPU. I was a little worried that the sides would be uncomfortable to hold, but the texture is fairly dull so they don't poke your fingers.
The big draw for me was the kickstand, which is mostly ok. It works, in that it flips out. I do have two concerns though... (1) as you can see, there's no other layer underneath, so when it's open that part of the back case is exposed. This isn't a big problem except I expect it to trap a bit of lint and stuff. Then, (2) hopefully there is enough clearance for it to open that it's not rubbing on the phone all the time. It's also a little hard to get a fingernail in there to open it, but not horrible. It's hard to complain too badly for $7.50, including a screen protector, a neat little stylus (which is actually pretty great, probably the best touchscreen stylus I've used so far), and an entertaining Engrish manual.
Disclaimer: Fitment review is TBD, however, it fits my new cardboard GS3 pretty well (pictured) Now, I just need my real one! I also got the clear version to show off my pebble blue, as opposed to the pictured "white" model.
Edit: I should also note that I got some of those XtremeGuard body skins that were on sale and plan to put them on as well. So, hopefully that will protect the back case against possible wear from the kickstand, as well as mitigating the issue with that section of the case being "open".
