This is a placeholder post!
Here's Samsung's own list of accessories. I'm hoping to find the Spare Battery Charging System at in-store somewhere at launch, as even with the claims about battery life on this phone I'm pretty sure I'll need it. I bought the battery alone (official) for about $20 on eBay for my original Epic, along with a cheap knock-off charger, but it seems like it would be worth having the nice stand this time. Plus I suspect since we're kind of a one-off on the battery it might be a while before we see the accessories popping up online.
The other thing I'm looking for is a good holster. So far all I've found is this which may have to do. I've always preferred clip-in holsters, but I had a leather one carry me through my Moment and Epic that I've been happy with, so I may do the same again.
Here at the sprint stores, we'll be selling a slim case with built-in kickstand
It's pretty nice. It's all black, the back is a sort of tough nylon weave, and the kickstand is a black metal band the runs the whole width about a third of the way down, and a tiny hinge in the middle, so half of the band is the kickstand. I like it because it's a nice alternative to traditional plasticky cases, and the kickstand appears to be pretty durable. The fabric feel will definitely take some getting used to, but one upside I've found so far is the awesome amount of grip...this thing should never slip out of your hand.
EDIT: when I get in to work today I'll try and take a couple pics and post em up here

Any sign of you guys carrying the above-linked charging cradle with extra battery for the same $49.99 price? That's what I'm looking for. Although I suppose I should probably wait 'til I receive a Premier coupon in the mail...

I'm gonna have to say unlikely on that actually being carbon fiber, but it does look cool. It says the kickstand is metal and that it snaps in to the case...might not be too bad.
I hate looking at these things online without knowing how they will actually feel/weight/bulk up the phone...grrr

Not bad looking but certainly won't fit in the car dock. I use that for all my music and movies in the cars so I hope it is not to bad to get on and off the phone but strong enough to stay on if dropped. I would definitely try the carbon fiber thought. Looks nice!

I just returned from the closest Sprint store (an hour away) and while they didn't have the phone, they had 2 cases and a set of screen protectors. The case in that picture is exactly what the Sprint store had. It was even in a Samsung labeled clamshell container, making me think that maybe its a Samsung original product??? Anyway, I thought it looked very nice and would have bought it had they allowed it. They said the pricing wasn't available yet, so they couldn't sell it.

Aww, they fixed it today, but I was finding it hilarious that the official Sprint accessories in the Epic 4G Touch section were all called "Epic Touch 4G"... too bad I didn't get a screenshot of it.

I was browsing around the AT&T web store, and saw these cases available. I'm happy to see the Incipio feather case make the list. While I typically don't put cases on my phones, I'm a big fan of the feather case. It's so low-profile that it almost feels naked (although, I'm not sure if the phone would still fit in the docks).

I agree. But the blue actually looks pretty good with the stock homescreen.
Incipio makes great cases. When i had my iPhone, that is the only case i'd buy. When my wife got an iPhone, that is the case i got her. They fit well, they arent overly bulky, and they are strong.
The only reason i havent ordered one yet is because i also got the dock and i dont think that the phoen will sit in the dock with the case on. That is a deal breaker for me.
I bought the speck but would trade for a feather if anyone is interested.
Personally the only case I'm interested in is a TPU case...And I'm not going to get one until there's a non-patterned one available. Who ever thought it was a good idea to have argyle print on a phone case?
Has anyone been able to find screen protectors anywhere yet? There is one built into the otterbox defender case i bought from att for my atrix when i get it - but i havent been able to find any screen protectors like i have for my captivate....

I ordered the two pack of anti glare screen protectors from att.com along with the body glove case.
The Speck cases look nice but they scratch easily, the feather cases tend to get worn from being rubbed on in your pocket and from sliding on tables, and the body glove always worked well on my Captivate.
Anyone have a link to these? I'd really like to buy one, I just cant seem to find them on any of the manufacturers websites nor AT&T online....
Try phantomskinz. Best screen protector I've ever had. 2 for 9.99 and feels like glass. I dont know if they are out yet tho.

about $30? I don't have the receipt in front of me at the momemnt so I don't know exactly... It is very very nice though. Glossy and soft on the inside and very thing... just no covering for the ports. but then again I have never had a case cover the ports so its all good. I plan on checking out the commuter and maybe returning the speck.

Oooh, yea the commuter covers the ports (which I always found annoying btw) I was leaning more towards the candyshell because it looks so...... beautiful. Does it make the phone substantially fatter though? Also, does AT&T charge a re-stocking fee for accessories?

I don't know about the restocking fee.. I'm going to guess no, because the guy that helped me out seemed like an informed, nice dude. And when I asked him about the return policy he didn't mention restocking.
I actually don't have my phone yet - I didn't pre order so I am going to be picking it up tomorrow morning. I have opened up the speck though and checked it out... the size of the case is not big at all. I think it is comparable or even slightly thinner than the otterbox commuter, if that helps you at all. It is in fact a really nice, well designed case. The black plastic is glossy, which could be a good thing (probably easy to slip in and out of pocket) or it could be a bad thing (aquires light scratches from being placed on hard surfaces). I will have to see how it holds up for a few days (I take great care of my things) but I might just end up keeping it.

Thanks . I've owned all kinds of cases from pretty much all the major manufacturers (otterbox, speck, case-mate, incipio, boxwave) for different phones and have never gotten the chance to try out a Candyshell before so, thats why I was leaning towards it. That was very informative and helpful.

yeah, I don't think you can go wrong with the candyshell. It is pretty nice all around. Especially if you don't care to have the ports covered, then this is just as good or better than the otterbox for you.
I just wanted to update... The Speck case IS NOT my idea of a case. It is too thick, and adds too much bulk to an otherwise slim phone without providing the best coverage. The rubber is annoying...Would NOT purchase this case. I am returning in the morning. I want to stick to the otterbox commuter.
The Incipio Feather does, in fact, come in black. I just bought one this morning when I picked up my Atrix at RadioShack.

Hey everyone, I received my TPU case from EBay (item 290530353216) today, here are some comments and pics. The fit is only OK - the cutout for the USB/HDMI ports is a little off, and there is a little bit of an edge around the power button that impedes fingerprint swipability a little. I will say too that I didn't expect it to have the goofy pattern - what is it with TPU cases and argyle patterns?? Also, as you've noticed it is somewhat translucent.
I give it a 3/5. $7 shipped in the US. I'll keep it until another inexpensive case rolls around that is higher quality.
And just in case anyone wonders, on my screen are the Pandora Widget, Android Agenda Widget, and some apps. I am running ADW Launcher (free). Also, I know I left my back panel sticker on there, and that was on purpose.

Yeah seriously with the frikin argyle ****! Its like they made a billion sheets of the argyle TPU and they just like heat mold them to phones (not like thats how they're made). This will be my third phone encased in argyle TPU. Other two were the dark one like yours, this time I got sick of trying to hide the argyle and people asking about the stupid pattern. I got clear so, "yes its frikin argyle! got a problem!?"
Waiting for the Realook screen protectors to be cut. no idea why it takes them so long to cut the right size. Realooks are by far the best screens...
Everything is temporary at this point...I'll buy nicer stuff once my 30 days are up.
I was fortunate enough to have a solid black non-patterned TPU case for my EVO that someone on this forum actually commissioned and was selling out of their garage essentially.
Check out tpu-cases.com. I bought an all black one there, shipped same day. Quality is nice, it's glossy, feels good in the hand for an 8$ case.
the 1.99 one I got from ebay is decent
Nice, never seen that site before. I'll order one up and hopefully it'll get here by the time I'm home from travel. Wish someone would make one like I had for my Evo though - it was matte on the back and shiny on the front.

Well I tried the Speck (or whatever it's called) case from AT&T and hated it...looked and felt like a toy.
Then I tried the Otterbox Impact (the smallest case they make). It's made of a type of rubber that sucks up all dust and won't let it go. It's pure black rubber but after putting it in my pocket and driving up to Starbucks to meet some friends...it looked gray. My pockets don't have any lint or anything in them...and yet the case now looks completely gray. I just put it on yesterday. It's also a bit big for my tastes...and the phone can easily come out of the bottom.
I'm going to try the cheapest cases on eBay. They always worked great for my Nexus 1 and most other phones I've used. The cheap thin rubber is fantastic for me. The phone's so freaking sexy...I just don't want to add a bunch of mass to it.

i like the feather as well. not much in terms of impact protection, but most of my scratches come from the phone vibrating on the desk over time and scuffing the battery door, so its a nice line of defense against that. also, its a little less slippery than the standard battery door which i like

Yeah its great for worrying less about the normal wear and tear.
I particular like the argyle tpu cases which give decent protection and feel. i have it for the ipad, galaxy tab, atrix, inspire, and xoom.
www.degasis.net offers these as well
I ordered my case from http://www.degasis.net/models/atrix.html (as the poster above recommended. $6.98 shipped
This is the best fitting TPU case I've had across all my devices. The best part is that it actually makes the on/off button easier to push and the finger scanner easier to operate (its cut at the perfect angle to compliment it). Its slightly different cut but a better fit than the pictures posted above.
I'll post pictures when I come across another camera some time today or tomorrow.
TPU is far superior to any other case material in my book. perfect balance of grip/non-stick, thinness, protection, and fit.

That's the problem I have with the feather - it doesn't protect either end of the device, only the sides and back.
Judging by the picture, it looks like you have that "textured" screen protector. What is the screen protector you are using? Those are my favorite kinds and I have been trying to find one for a while! thanks in advance
Kbc, who are you asking? I'm using an AT&T screen protector. It's matte and perfectly smooth.

OK, you've sold me on this case Good description of how it is, what colour did you get?
Today I got in the mail a new case for my Atrix. The only case i had gotten for this phone was the Otterbox Impact. This case is slimmer than the Otterbox. it also seems to be a bit more firmer. i was playing around with both the Otterbox and the Ringke case and i found my self applying a bit more pressure to fold them. yes their both siliconish like but im starting to like it a lot. it doesn't add that much bulk and it also solves the super slippery grip on the phone itself. I find my self liking this case more than the Otterbox. less bulk and less slippery. the otterbox had a grip issue for some reason.

its not a hard case tho. its like silicon/tpu kind of. i learned my lesson with hard cases with my backflip. its messed up the side of the phone pretty bad.
Yea. Right now i have a cheapy eBay TPU case for my Atrix. Nice case overall. Waiting on one of those Pure Gear cases i ordered which should arrive tomorrow. Figured i'd see what it's like. standard shipping was free, and the case itself was only like $20, so i figured if i don't like it much, i could either possibly resell it, or i'm just out a little bit of money. Wouldn't be the first time i bought a case for a phone that i wound up not using. Waited so long for one of those Tech21 iBand's for the iPhone 4.... but when i finally got one, it was so thick that it was difficult to reach the ring/vibrate switch, and the lock/power button was just odd to press. Wound up still using the free smoke colored case from InCase for that whole thing Apple did about the antennagate until i sold the phone, and sold the iBand along with it.
This one is okay. buttons are all accessible easily. i like the feel to it to.

I just got one for free from Rearth to review. It was blue like this. I LOVE IT! It has to be in my top 3 favorites (I own every major case out there for the Atrix). It beats out the OBD for me and the feather. I really want the new Trident Aegis though.

Grey.... black.... to-ma-to.... to-mah-to.... either way it's a shade of grey.... and it's transparent. Calling something Aqua Black will just confuse people, and make them think it's something totally different... when it's more than likely smoke.

I just got a review unit as well. I literally just got mine today, so I can't say too much about it, but I am liking it more than I expected. I've used cases on a couple other phones and always ended up disliking the case, but I could see myself continuing to use this. Mine is the maroon color... I'll post pics up with a better review once I've had at least a day or 2 of use.
Stretching damage?

The case looks very nice. They offer a plug for the headphone jack on the website. However they are saying that taking off the cover to replace the battery a number of times will eventually stretch the case out of shape which is unacceptable, expecially considering the price. It doesn't say exactly how many times you can take the cover on and off before it loses its shape.

as do all cases do and $16.99 thats cheap
Broke down and ordered this case reason's being
Thin and no bulkness added
protects around the edges which is important to keep the case intact when the phone drops
its light
its colorful
as many of you saying that it will stretch out thats only for people who takes there battery out 10 times a day which i dont
i mess with mine. a lot actually constantly pulling on the edge. still fits snug. i actually put my otterbox away and have this one. i really like it. i have the headphone covers but i use my phoen for music. but i find it kind of a hassle taking it off and holding on to it.

Came across these by accident. I LOVE THEM! I was looking at the cases available for the Infuse, and found this odd brand by the name of Ballistic making a case for it. I became jealous and Googled them. Google took me to their website which I discovered, OUR PHONE is supported!

These are great if you have a UHaul to carry your phone around in after you have encased it in this thing!
The second one from the right...
It looks like it would suck to wake the phone up or use the fingerprint sensor.

Just emailed them to let me know when they are available. I have the otterbox defender and while I usually recommend them, the one for the atrix has issues. I'm on my second outer silicone part, and this one doesn't fit right either. The bottom corners bulge away from the inner plastic part, which makes them come off pretty easy.

The cases happen to be made right here in Fort Lauderdale on the other side of town. I may go get one on Monday. I have the Commuter case which I like, especially since the ports and earphone jack have covers to keep out dust and dirt and the case is easy to get on and off. I dunno if the ballistic has covers and there are no pictures of the front i can find but the design and colors look nice and I am sure the protection is good. Anyone get one yet?
Damn that thing looks thicker then my otterbox defender case. I like the color schemes though. Does it come with a holster? I have to use the holster with my defender case, just to hard putting it in my pocket.

Let us know if you get one. I definitely want one! Black on black is my choice, but the red/black looks pretty cool too.
Awesome!
Got my Ballistic SG
Well I recieved my Ballistic SG in the mail today, got it off ebay for $22 bucks! I haven't bought a lot of cases for my Atrix yet, I tried a Otterbox Impact on launch day and was disappointed with that. This case however feels extremely tough, My brother has the Otterbox Commuter, which i thought was awesome untill this one showed up. It feels very solid, The ports on the side are left exposed, as well as the speaker grill. The space for the fingerprint sensor does feel a slight bit cramped when swiping downwards, I may have to re-enter my prints to get it to read more accurately, but for now it doesn't seem to affect it too much. I've only had it for about 30 minutes but so far i'm impressed. The case doesn't slide around on the phone (though that may be in part to my invisible shield). The rubber/silicone layer does attract dust, but overall I'm happy with my purchase. I attached a few pictures if anyone's interested.

Not a bad looking case ya got there... is it rubber or plastic or both?
Edit: so the grey is rubber, red is plastic?
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is. This post might have errors as I hate touchscreen keyboards.
Yeah, the black part is rubber, the red is plastic, with a weird layer of black, that feels like slightly rubberized plastic. After using it for a few hours now I'm still satisfied with it. Definitely feels more solid than my brothers commuter case. Now to wait for the HC to be released and try that sucker out.
Dude, that's freaking sweet looking. Can't wait for the HC cases to be released.

Can you please drop your phone from the second or third floor while it's in the case and if nothing happens can you drop it without a case? I just want to check how though is the case before investing in it.

epic !
I like it! May replace my Commuter, even though I couldnt be happier with the OB.
covered ports
I did not buy this case (yet). It looks really similar to the Commuter case as the designs are the same///a soft rubber held on with a hard plastic. However, the ports are not covered on this one. On the commuter both ports are covered in addition to the earphone jack. Someone here reported dust on the inside of the screen and it may have entered thru the earphone jack? On my wish list is a case with a built in stand.
I've never heard of this brand before but I heard lots of good reviews on TPU cases and need something to put my GS3 in when I get it. Was looking to stay away from black but when I seen this picture not only did it convince me to go ahead and get it, but i'm gonna end up getting a black Otterbox as well.

Anyone had any experience with this brands TPU cases before? I will update this thread with my review once I get it installed.
**Update 6.29.12**
I picked up my phone from BB yesterday and took this case with me to protect my phone until my Incipio Sylicrilic Dual Pro arrived...which was at home waiting for me along with my Tagsfordroid NFC tags. The case had a nice feel to it, at least on the shiny parts where it had more grip...the matte area was pretty slick/smooth/slippery. It was my first experience with a TPU case and while it added very little bulk, much like a wetsuit, it was a little difficult to stretch onto the phone. I thought I was going to damage the phone trying to get it on. But after getting it on I liked it for it's intended use, preventing cosmetic damage to the backside of the case and allowing me to set the phone face down without feat of damaging the screen. But my big complaint is that the buttons are very hard to press and you can't even tell when you've done so as you have no audible or tactile feedback upon the press. Because of this, the TPU came off as soon as I got home and noticed my SDP had arrived. I do not recommend this case unless it's just going to be used similarly to the situation I used it for.
generic cases you can get them for a buck on ebay with shipping. have used them on a lg o2x, sgs2, HOX and later today a sgs3. they usually fit really good. had no issues with them.
providing a link to the first case i found on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-5-Colors-...ain_0&var=&hash=item4166b8b83e#ht_4044wt_1018
I've ordered one for every phone I've had this past year they are super thin and have a good grip on the sides
But the white ones get super dirty really fast

I bought one on eBay for 4.59 shipped. I bought clear, but other colors are on ebay as well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/290721298653 Haven't received it yet.. Here is a seller from Ireland with a variety of colors. I might just pick up a blue one.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/FOR-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S3-I9300-HARD-GEL-CASE-COVER-FREE-SCREEN-PROTECTOR-/290720955624?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item43b051bce8
I have the white version on the white galaxy s3 and it looks really good.
Now obviously there are other cases that look better, but none for a couple of euro/dollars/pounds or what have you.

How does it feel in your hand? Does it add alot of bulk? What's the fitment like? Does it attract dust/lint? Does it add any grip? Have you dropped it at all, if so, did it fare well?
via Atrix 2/VictoryROM/XDA app
I love these types of cases. I have had one for every phone I have had over the past year and a half(and I've had a bunch) Case doesnt add too much bulk at all and it feels great in the hand. The side grips are very nice
Don't these fall off easily?

I just bought a couple of TPU case for my S3 as they are my favorite type of case. I have the ones on eBay that have a slightly textured X pattern on the back and a couple identical to the flexishield case on mobilefun. I've found the ones on eBay to be to loose and move around a bit when I'm adjusting the volume or locking/unlocking my phone ect and both of them have a problem with reflecting the color of the case back into the camera lens when using the flash.It makes for some pretty interesting photo effects.
The ones you linked to look good but I would advise against getting a semi transparent color. I'm thinking about getting one in black or white to see me through until Incipio release there NGP case.
Okay, I forgot the mention this before when I posted the images.
While they feel great and look really good.
I noticed NFC doesn't work with cover on, I think this might be the same for most covers and not just this one, but none the less if you use NFC a lot. Keep in mind you need to remove the cover to do so.

TPU cases typically don't fall off. You have to pop them off. They're pretty ideal.

Got my case today, super fast if you ask me considering I placed my order at 11pm on the 6th. Will definitely do business again with these guys. I bought it on Amazon from "SF Planet", they're out of Minnesota and I live in California.
So I checked out the case and the first thing I noticed is how thin it is, will add very little bulk to the phone. It's thick enough to hold it's form but thin enough to be very low profile. The case has shiny and dull areas on it....the shiny areas are very grippy, the dull areas not so much. But since the edges where you would normally hold the phone are knurled and shiny, gripping it should not be a problem. It's also got cutouts for the necessary areas, including both top and bottom mic's. Can't speak on the fitment for obvious reasons but will do so hopefully soon.
So far, so good.
People that buy this case in white, it gets very dirty! Only the left half of the wave design since it's a different surface. (matte vs. gloss).
Do TPU cases provide enough front coverage?
It seems like the Commuter would do better.
if your in london you can buy it from these guys... i bought a case for my SGS1 Year and a bit ago and they were really good than http://www.londonmagicstore.co.uk/Samsung/I9300/S+Line.htm

It certainly would, but considering the commuter wont be shipping until the week after launch I had no choice but to get something. TPU cases will guard against scratches, thats about it.
