Epik Gel Case for MT4G

I bought one of these for my MyTouch3G last year, and thought it was the BEST case I've ever had for a phone. I'm desperately wanting one for my MT4G, but haven't found one anywhere online yet. Anyone know where we can get these? I bought mine on eBay for $4.99 and free shipping from Hong Kong, and I got it in less than 2 weeks.
Here's a link to a current eBay auction for the MT3G version so you can see what I'm talking about...

I agree, those are the best cases I've used. Had one for my original MyTouch and loved it. Hopefully they will get in gear and make them for the 4G now.

That's like the TPU cases others have mentioned, and been on the lookout for on eBay.
I like how they're flexible, but not plain silicon, and maintain the profile of the phone as much as possible.
I gotta pick up something pretty soon. I'd consider just a Phantom Skinz, but with a 3 year old who loves Angry Birds running around the house I need something that offers some drop protection.

i had been looking for these aswell. i bought one for my curve last yr from this guy. clicked this post in hopes to find that you had found them lol. i sent the seller an email asking about these for the 4g. ill check back in if/when he responds

How well does that case absorb a shock if the phone is dropped? I really like how its molded really well to the body-lines of the phone and doesnt look thick. Let us know asap when you do find out if they sell them yet! Thanks!

Dear cw54o,
we will be getting these shortly in the next 1-2
weeks

That's awesome news about him getting these cases in the next 1-2 weeks. I'm on my second T-Mo case, and I really haven't been too thrilled with them. Way too much money IMO for cases like these, and I'm considering returning/exchanging my newest one (soft rubber sleeve with white plastic backing) because the rubber attracts WAY TOO much dust.

These cases are STILL not available anywhere yet. Total BS!

yeah i knw, i just checked his ebay store and nothing

There's Epik cases on eBay for the HTC HD7, didn't that come out the same day or about the same timeframe as our MT4G? If so, why hasn't there been an Epik case made yet for our phone?

i have no clue, but on a side note tmble has these type of cases at their stores. im tempted to get 2 of them. they have a sale going on 2accessories will land u 20% off and 3 will get u 30% off, but their 20 a peice....

T-Mobile does not carry the Epik branded cases at their stores. They don't have any cases that even come close to the Epik brand.

they arent 'epik' cases BUT they are TPU cases, which is exactly what the epik cases are. they have them for several phones including the mytouch 4g. if i go back ill take a pic and show you. if it werent for the price difference i would have gotten it. but yeah im pretty sure a youtube search would confirm it.

DCMugen88 posted black and clear cases today. I got black

awww daewond3r beat me too it i was too busy trying to figure out if i wanted clear or smoke blk and put in my order to post the link lol but here u go to those who are looking for it

Thanks for the link. Ill be ordering a few. Great prices! i was close to ordering some case on amazon for 24.99 + shipping.
Sucks that these won't be arriving until after xmas though.

Nice! Do you think the epik cases will still fit if you have the CF Chromatics on? My little girl puts a beating on my phone while playing with talking Tom . Ordered anyway, you cant go wrong with the price! Thanks for the heads up fellas!

Are these the bendable gel cases they had for the MT3G? It doesn't really specify that anywhere on his auctions, and the pictures make it look more like a hard plastic or hard gel/plastic case.

[Q] Case-Mate Tough Case or Similar

Hey SGS2 owners,
Does anyone know of an Australian re seller for these cases?
I am going down to the snow in a few weeks and wanted to take some nice 1080p video while i was down there and make sure its nicely protected.
Or does someone know of another case that would help?
Cheers

im from Australia, i brought a Case-Mate Tough Case for my SGS2 from my local Joyce Mayne Store
hope that helps...

sort of helps .. nearest Joyce Mayne is about 103kms away haha
Might give them a ring and see.
Cheers

i bought my Case-Mate Tough Case directly from the manufacturers website
had no issues with payment, shipping etc and got the case within 2 weeks

i brought mine for $29.95 from my local Joyce Mayne Store, the screen protecter that you get with the case did not fit the SGS2 it was to small and the cutouts were wrong so i took it back and showed them and they gave me a free 3 pack of Belkin screen protecters worth $15...

I thought I was the only one. In fact, I thought I was just too stupid to figure out which way it was supposed to go on.

Galaxy S II Case/Covers in India

Hello Friend. Can someone suggest me the best case/cases available for S2 in India. Links of ebay india would be appreciated.
Thanks!!

I dont think so , you can find anything here very good in India. I ordered case-mate tough case from uk and I can say its the best you can find.

you can order from online

link please?

I have ordered for tough case
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Cases/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Cases.asp
but looks like that is out of stock right now...you can order other cases...those also looks good

go for the mesh case. its really good and looks just awesome
u can find it in ebay india

Case Mate Tough is good but I really don't know why should one pay that much money for a case which will cover the back of the phone only. A Rs.150 mesh case could do that.
I always like those Flip Top cases, like, SGP Argos, Zenus Prestige Carbon etc..if you have a good luck with Paypal then go for them.
(See the Best Cases Available thread for more details.)
Regards.

I really like the Molife Fit-to-case that came free with my SGS2 from letsbuy.com
It even has a built in stand that let's me use it as a photoframe!
I bought the Casemate Slim case (silver) from flipkart, and get this, the Molife includes the Casemate Slim case + a holster-stand combo.

I would also want some good looking cases in India itself ,
dont want links from UK , US or outside ,
ebayindia would do , but please post some links of other cases also .
and how about screen protectors ?? which one is the best available
havent applied any since the purchase

And for cases, I am loving my Molife Leather Flip Top Case, you could see the pics under Best SGS2 Cases available thread.
If you want, only back side protection, then the Hard Mesh/Silicon cases would do, like these,

Search eBay for the seller Navkar_Collection, they have all the Case Mate cases at an appropriate price. I purchased my Tough for Rs.1295. Now there is no more Tough available from them atm. Great seller, actually a shop and highly recommended.

Accessories for Galaxy Note in the Philippines

Hello everyone!
Ebay and the local stores have hardly any accessory for the samsung galaxy note. Even if there are stores that do deal in accessories for this device, I have not heard about them.
I thought this would be a perfect platform to discuss about accessories for the note and help map the stores for people who don't have much idea (like me).
Inviting ideas and opinions, please.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

As for me, I have:
- a decent P250 screen protector (not bad for the price) | Glossy | Finger print magnet | they did not have the matte one
- sad and boring looking jelly-case (does the job though). | P250 as well | Some reviewer was taking about some Samsung original (flip top) covers, but it was hardly any info as I could not find where he got it from.
Tomorrow I will check out the zagg invisible shield store at SM Megamall (I guess there is one). And will hit back to the topic with the pricing and quality.

Accesories for Note
I bought a decent screen protector in Greenhills for Php150. First I look around, there were many of them selling the same screen protector but the cheapest I could find of the same brand was Php150. Sorry I forgot the name. Matte and gloss available. Just look and ask around in Theater Mall GH, not in ViraMall GH as it is more expensive there.
Also I was able to find a realook screen protector matte or gloss (take your pick) also somewhere in Theater Mall GH, it comes with 2 screen protector, cleaning cloth, alcohol something (I guess for cleaning) and its around Php600-800. Looks legit. She even gave me a calling card of the GM of the company of realook here in Phil. She tried to sell me only one piece of the shield that is already open for Php600. Good thing I read at the back of the package that it comes with 2 pcs of shields. I got it down as low as 500 and she still agreed to sell it to me. I didn't bite.
She said it will be available soon so I will be back there next time. I think the one she tried to sell me was only a sample.
For casing in GH, just jellys. Try looking in the internet, there are already a lot of cases available and with high quality. They ship in the Philippines. I am just not sure about the feel that is why I am still waiting for legit cases to be available here so I can try it out first before buying.
For the flip cover, if you buy directly from Samsung or from any legit stores, the cover comes with it. At the back of the package, it writes 'Not for sale.'

the note and the accessories for it should've arrived on the same date. its really hard to protect a big phone/tablet from scratches and all.
waiting for otterbox to arrive, its taking too long

I have seen otterbox for iphone, it looks good. I will wait and see if it becomes available here in Phil for the note. I hope it arrives soon. I have been using the free flip cover, its good but it offers no protection for the sides.

Had gone to megamall today... saw the flip cover from samsung at wellcom (guess that's the name of the store). But it was free with a purchase of a new note (P34990). They were not selling it separately though, which was sad.
The samsung mobile store was crowded as hell. Wanted to check out a store unit of the note and compare it to mine (for the screen issues), but I could not (other people checking the unit). Not a single sales person paid attention to what I needed (a flip cover). Was disappointed, but that's howsamsung operates around the world, I guess.
Zagg Invisible shield was also there. The sales people over there were too busy to notice my presence (though I am 6ft tall). Did not get to know if they had something for the note. But I did look at the price (if available). P1000 for the back part. P800 for the screen. And P1500 for the whole unit. Is kinda expensive, but hey, protection comes at a premium.

Yes! There was a store in the Technohub! Any news on the Flip Covers for the device? Any one selling it in loose?

I passed by Zagg in Megamall last Friday with my Galaxy Note. The lady said she didn't have any shields yet for the note... so, i opted for a screen protector which cost me 200 pesos (at BSA International) and a stupid looking blue jelly case.
In ebay, there are some really nice leather cases... especially those that are made in Korea. A bit pricey though... ranging from $35 to $75... shipping not included.

May be that is why they were not paying attention to me! they might have seen me with a note in my hands and thought that they cant help me anyway...
About otter box, Nothing available as yet! this is getting pretty sad... screen issues doubled up with lack of accessories... Just a silly scratch guard and a stupid jelly case over here too!

i bought a capdase copy + gloss protector for just 150php..im still lurkin around for some leather flipcases..

ebay casing nad screen protectors
Hey guys!
I have been checking in ebay philippines with Location filtered to Worldwide.
There are a lot of sellers selling decent casing for galaxy note. There is the Black S line Silicone TPU Skin Case Cover for less than PhP200, also there is the aluminum cover that looks sleek selling for PhP1,500. For screen protectors, I haven't gone back to GH to check on the realook screen protectors but I'm sure by next year they already have that. I was there late November and they already have it opened that's why I didn't buy it.
Also, ebay (filtered worldwide) is selling flip covers but it is really expensive with price at least PhP2,000.
Thanks!

I have only seen matte screen protectors around. They make the white of the screen look sparkly and as such would like a clear protector instead.
To those guys who bought the clear/glossy screen protectors, what store/mall did you buy them from and how much did you guys pay for them?
How is the quality as well? Does it affect the screen that much?
And to those who have bought matte screen protectors, have you had any matte screen protector that did not affect the whiteness of the screen (did not make is sparkly)?
Thanks.

By any chance, do you have any pic of this? I'm interested. Where are you based? Thanks.
Btw, for others asking about the case with NOT FOR SALE tag. I was able to buy one for P800 at Cyberzone SM Cubao. (Yes, I'm that silly. Lol!) Forgot the name of the shop but its just near the escalator, beside Tylex.

Got an original samsung flip case for the note at GH for 800php. This however still leaves the sides unprotected so I had to use a jelly case, only I cut the sides to accommodate the flip part. It doesn't look ugly as it sounds, and does the job until we get invisishield for the Note.

Globe APN
Hey guys! Sorry if I am in the wrong thread, but I think this is where all the Note users in Phil are posting.
Quick question: Were you able to activate your Globe 3g on your Note? Please share the APN settings. I am having trouble connecting to 3g. I am a Globe prepaid user and my sim card is I think 4 to 5 years old.
Many thanks!

I tried taking to a globe customer rep, he gave me a few settings over the phone... they did not work either!

Looking to buy Walnutt case - ONLY sold in Korea; could someone help out?

Hi guys,
I am looking at the Walnutt cases for the i9100, I would really love to purchase one of the bumper cases, but it seems there is very little available. I have found 3 sites with them but they are all Korean and don't look to sell internationally (or at least don't respond to my emails).

My main problem is that I am after the White/Green version (I think it will look perfect on the White i9100!) but everywhere is sold out bar this website: http://www.unilook.co.kr/shop/shopdetail.html?branduid=429862&xcode=007&mcode=001&scode=&type=X&sort=order&cur_code=007001

I've seen these before and have ordered a couple to see what they are like - will let people know when they arrive; I don't have high hopes to be honest.
I still want an official one so I know it fits perfectly though.

Here is another probably better alternative.

And here is a back cover to go with it if needed. You can choose that same green color.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...y-s2-option-back-cover-for-linear-series.html

I wouldn't recommend SGP Linear ... they are made of plastic and easy breakable...
I would recommend Sweet Armor .. they are not that heavy and they are made of airline metals (aluminium i believe ... not sure)

Thanks for the recommendations guys; I have tried many cases but believe the Walnutt would be the best for my situation

Very similar to the SGP NEO HYBRID?
Mebbeh try that?

thanks for the recomendations guys

Just a little warning. I've had a Walnutt bumper case on my phone for about 4-5 months, and they scratch the living hell out of the left and right sides of the phone.
I'm not sure if all Walnutt bumper cases do this, maybe I was just unlucky.

Maybe you got bits of dust between the phone and bumper? I know that my SGP NEO EX does accumulate a bit of dust between silicon and my phone. Regular clean ups does the job though. No significant scratches after 5 months of having the bumper, just slight micro scratches here and there, but those might be also deriving from me using my phone without bumper on occasions...
Cheers
