And it is amazing! adds the perfect weight, doesn't seem to attract lint and it makes this phone look damn good! It has a detachable clip which i found can also be used as a kickstand i guess lol. Its 2 pieces consisting of a chrome cover and a textured back. I bought it for $30 from my local t-mobile store which was pretty steep in my opinion but i love it!

Are you referring to the gel skin?

I agree. After looking at the pics, it's even more convincing that it's a similar one that I had for the G1 which I didn't like since it adds too much bulk than I wanted.
But thumbs up to the OP if he likes it, hopefully the corners don't wear out fast on you after putting in and pulling out of your pockets a lot.
this is the same case that bodyglove is selling on their website. I have been planning on buying one I am glad to see some pics. The kickstand is what is gonna do it for me!
Hideous, I hate cases. I never drop my phones, and take really good care of them.

Nice, I had a body glove for my G1. Really liked it. Just came from my T-Moblie store but all they had were the gel cases. Guess I'll have to wait.
I have one of these for my G1 and it is really nice for protecting the phone. After over a year the phone is still mint but the case itself started to peel about a month ago and it's getting bad now. It still works great though and the plastic clip is super heavy duty. I have dropped my G! many times in this thing and there is not a scratch on it. It is kind of bulky though but great protection.

You're legally required to have car and health insurance...and a case isn't comparable to car/health insurance. a case won't help when your screen cracks, or when your phone is stolen.
Ok, I just happened to notice they finally have the Slider case for the Vibrant in The SGP Store.
Yesterday they still weren't up yet.
Remember, this is for the Vibrant and not just another i9000 case.
Here is the link:
http://www.sgpstore.com/index.php/cPath/23_29
I'm picking one up ASAP!
EDIT 9/2/2010: Apparently The company has run into some production problems.
That is why the cases have been delayed.
The entries have since been removed from their website.
Is that the same as the magenta one in tmobile stores?

no, it's not a silicone case.
It is a slider case.
Very nice and sleek
ARRRRG!!! theyre not in stock yet!
Edit: I ran to get my CC
Actually, T-Mobile does offer a similar case to the Slide cases mentioned, and only in the magenta color (so far, anyway).
Just for kicks, I tried it on my phone, but the plastic just seems cheap and it doesn't feel all that secure where the parts join. I would hope that the SGP ones are better quality than the no-name ones T-Mobile offers.

Do you mind taking more pictures of the case on/off the phone?
Ty
best looking cases for this phone imo. wish it had a little kickstand type thing. . .
Looks awesome, buying ASAP!
Title says it all
But on related note, is the included screen protector good? I was planning on ordering a realook one but hey, if this gets the job done without ruining the screen quality...
Are these glossy casses and do they provide grip? Also if they are glossy wouldn't they start to get scratched up when putting them down on hard surfaces?...anyone know?
I am dying for a white one. These are the nicest cases I have seen for the vibrant thus far.
Pretty sweet I dig them too just not sure what color...hmmm white or blue...
If they would just hurry up and get these in stock...

Im going with the "storm trooper" look myself .
Anyone got one yet? Someone post a short review of fitment. Hoping that the case fits well and stays intact unlike some other ones with similar install style.
I hope this version doesn't have a cutout for the antenna.
The pics definitely have the antenna cutout. Hopefully these are just sample pics.

Hope you can do a little review once you get it.
Those Ultra Silke silicone cases look quite nice, especially if their claims of them not being sticky/tacky are true.
these need to come out like NOW!
Hey everyone picked this case up at Sprint store today for my ET4G and made a video with the good old Nexus S 4g. Here it is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCOYXD8OTSA&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I really like that! Nice case! Wonder of they have it online yet.
Sweet im getting one tomorrow.
its a pop case i love them not as much protection as the tough cases but nice non of my store have them and there not on the site
My store just got them we only ordered 2 we didnt know what they looked like but it is nice the kickstand is a little flimsy but all in all best I have seen there are not many out yet.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
well i thank you for posting atleast we know they are coming now i want protection for my 600 phone lol im sure they will come out with a case mate tough since there is a pop case i work ut and run with my phone so the protection is needed
That looks pretty bulky.. how does it feel in your hand
?
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic Touch 3g
I can't say say from this phone but the pop cases don't add much its like a speck candy shell but thinner to me its thinner then some of the thicker silicone and tpu cases but then again I like the casemate touch cases so thickness is nothing to me
It feels nice the grip is nice to have on the sides and the lip on the front is nice incase you want to lay it on its face it will not scratch the screen.

Every white case I ever bought turned colors the more I use it...have you noticed this yet at all...I'm going to have to check back in a few weeks with you to see.
I had a Case-Mate Pop case for my Nexus S 4G, and while it looks really nice, I would still prefer a case that can be removed more easily.
It was a pain to take off the case and then put the phone back into it. Since I have a spare battery for the GS II, I can see this being a problem. At least for me.
But it is a good case =\
Kick stand is nice, but the kick stand on this one looks cheap and to me it looks like it would break easy. What are your thoughts on this OP?
the lady in sprint had ZERO idea when i asled her about the casemate products lol

Ok guys update so far so good took it camping fri and sat used it all weekend.....no visible discoloration on white shell....the kickstand to me is flimsy a bit does what it is supposed to do...I think the it will last just as long as you don't put pressure on top of the case itself.

The pics on the site look real. They also did a video review of the case with drop test....there was a pic of what looked to be genuine otterbox packaging. Hoping it's the real deal....they see to be a legit site. When I ordered mine today they had no stock of the blue, purple or green....only a crapload of black and 13 (make that 12 after my order lol) of the glacier.

I've ordered a case from Noreve already, but had an Otterbox on my HD2 and the protection was great... especially when you're drunk and likely to drop your phone :laugh:
Ok I bought myself one. Looks like it will be a cool case especially since you can use the holster as a kick stand.

That was a selling point for me as well. I love my ballistic sg maxx, particularly due to the less bulky holster....so it will probably be my go 2 when leaving the house. When hanging at the house I will make good use of the kickstand feature on the otter holster. My only wish would be that it could be used in portrait mode. I had an otter on my last phone and NEVER knew it had a kickstand until a few days ago. :banghead:
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Does this have a belt clip (deal breaker for me)? Also, how is the screen protector? Do you have to use it? Thanks.
Yes, it comes with a belt clip. It's a separate holster that stays on your belt and the phone clips into it. It can also be used as a kickstand if you take it off your belt and 'lock' the clip open.
If it's anything like the HD2 Otterbox the screen protector is good, but mine didn't hold up well to repeatedly removing the phone from the case, it developed blotchy parts where it was sticking right to the screen and other parts weren't. Eventually I removed the screen protector (it's not designed to be removable, so you can't put it back in if you do remove it).
dang. That is a good deal. I bought a Glacier one from Amazon yesterday for $35 I think. Im kind of nervous if the case is legit though...
This is the one I bought, anyone buy from "ITX Wireless" before?
NEVERMIND: I cant post links yet, but seller is ITX Wireless on Amazon, hopefully its real.
Thanks OP for the link! Just bought myself the Glacier to go along with my white SGS3.
Bought! Thanks, nice deal. I just happened to break my case today unfortunately...so this worked out well. Went with Glacier.
Thanks for posting this excellent deal. I've used Smartphonepedia.com recently. I ordered my Galaxy S3 Body Glover tpu case from them. It arrived extremely fast and if the case is knockoff, I honestly couldn't tell. It came in retail packaging and the product shows no signs of being 'cheap' or 'knockoff'.
I definitely did not hesitate on taking advantage of this deal. I ordered the glacier colored case and even though it's on back order, i'm perfectly fine with waiting considering the cost savings and besides my Body Glove case from this company is holding me over just fine. Thanks for this find again!

I guess the shipment from Republic of Mozambique are in.
I know a lot of us has been looking for a waterproof shockproof dustproof snow proof case for our s3. Lifeproof has failed to deliver same goes for with otterbox, they are taking for ever. I found one that is available in a few hours. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/enflux/agilis-series-premium-galaxy-s3-case check it out. And it is cheaper than otterbox.
100k in 52 hours yea i highly doubt it'll reach its goal. Best of luck though.

In my situation cautious yes. I work in a really dusty enviroment and I use the case only in the workplace. And I got my earlier Sony's screen broken because of no case in the workplace....
I don't use this case in my freetime. It's just too bulky to have in your pocket and phone is a little more difficult to use.
There's couple disadvantages in the case:
- you can't press the powerbutton on the rightside. It's blocked because the hinges of the case are on the right side.
- I have had problems with the voice. I need to take the phone out of the case when talking with someone because they can't hear almost at all for some reason. I have not researched do anyone else have this problem and can I do something for it
I have also a bike clip for the case. I have not tested it yet (I have some plans to use the phone as a cycling computer in the summer time).
I'm little struct between this or Griffin Survivor (I have them both). Griffin Survivor is much better in almost every way (belt clip in Griffin case is really good) if you don't need water proofness but it's much harder to put the phone to the case and take if off.

Would an s3 with extended battery fit in this case, im already looking for quite a while for something like this but never realy wanted to order one because i am worried that it would not fit for extended batteries
Do these waterproof cases float? If no, what kind of depths can they handle? (I assume 1m)
I'm waiting for the otter armor.
