My hood is carbon fiber, as is my trunk lid. Run your hands across it, and you can't feel the weave because of the coating that's on it. I haven't seen the case, but I wonder if it's like this?

I road race motorcycles and its understandable that carbon fiber on vehicles ha a coat on it because of rock chips and stuff. My race bike has plenty of carbon fiber on it but has a coat on it because of rock chips sand and tiny debris that might hit. The case though not carbon fiber is a damn good knock off.....

You did say it was real carbon fiber, and there were other nards who knew nothing of the subject who wanted to chime in and say it was real and felt real.
We just want to let you know it is not real and nowhere near the real thing.

Kind of like how stunting is not real riding? Go do a track day son. Kidding its takes a little skill.
Have you ever felt un molded carbon fiber? just a sheet?
Probably not that why you say its not close
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Jesus. Two pages of crap.
Let me clarify.
The case IS NOT carbon fiber. Its hard plastic. It is not very thick and its a pretty sweet little case IMO. It maintains a very sleek profile for as thin of a phone as it is attached to and helps to hold while doing whatever.
Its a great buy IMO and I WOULD purchase again.
they just released A case/belt clip combo for $29.99. i need to check it out. i heard its a great case

Ha, not a stunter, just the occasional standup at the dedicated stunt lot.
I am in AET 378 (Composites class) Right now and I actually just got done doing a carbon fiber layup... The fake fiber on that case is far too large, its molded and its not even a composite.. its just plastic. My roommate has the case. Its not a bad case its just a little thick for my liking. Maybe in a couple weeks I was going to make a real carbon fiber case for my phone so it would be a little thinner. I just gotta check and see if the plastic on the phone is compatible with the epoxy resin that I will be using.
To answer the OP's question: no there is no holster case out yet that will fit the phone with the case on it. The case although thin still makes the phone too thick for the holster cases.
PS: not an expert or road racer, but im pretty sure its not real carbon fiber.

Isn't carbon fiber expensive.... Unless I am mixing up carbon nanotubes and carbon fiber. And it would absorb electromagnetic radiation in a fashion similar to a Faraday cage, right?
Unless I am thinking incorrectly.

There is one on ebay. It was $100 bucks I think. I saw it a few days ago while searching for a case.
edit link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/REAL-CARBON-FIB...192425?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20b32f90e9
$100 is a little pricey for that case, but it definitely looks pretty nice tho. Also just saw the carbon fiber iphone 3g/3gs livestrong case for $50, would almost pay that.
edit
ridiculous. You can get fabrics that look like carbon fiber for a lot less. It isn't needed at all for this application.
Nomex, kevlar and gore tex are all cheaper than carbon fiber lol, i don't know about retail prices, but to actually manufacture it is much cheaper.

Haha If there was a case made from wood that would be awesome. However a case that looks like wood would be fine too.
Just out of curiosity, why the attachment to wood?
Are you a lumberjack or something?

Wood is typically considered desirable because anything that needs to be fashioned for a particular design usually requires it to be hand-crafted, as opposed to off an assembly line.
To answer your question, no, I've not seen any SGII wooden cases. I know a few existed for the iphone and ipad.
I would say business opportunity, but not sure how well they would work, either they would have to be pretty thick, or reinforced with some metal or something. Guess you could make some steampunk/fantasy type thing...
I would like to see a faraday case to go with my tinfoil hat after all the 'preppers' I have lately. Those people are clown shoes.

yes..there are a few wooden cases
There are a few manufacturers making cellphone case's from wood (not the plastic ones with wooden skins on them). Most of them are for apple products. I have found a few for samsung epic 4g touch also. A few are real wood some are wood look alikes.
I haven't tried / tested them, so i am not vouching for anyone. If anyone has used wooden cases please quote your experience.

I need a screen protector that covers the entire front of the phone, so that nothing is exposed. I work machining metal and would easily mess up any uncovered area. I'm still using my Otterbox defender for work, I want to use this case at all times but not until I find a screen protector that covers the entire front of the screen.

This. Aside from the average screen protector provided, this case is sexier, thinner, and more ergonomic in my hands than any of the otterboxs. The smooth matte finish is fantastic with great grips on the side to make sure you have a nice grasp of your phone.
I think eventually, since this screen protector does not curve at the edges, nor does it completely cover the screen, I will purchase a higher grade protector for that final bit of comfort. This is a fantastic case that guards the phone at every angle.
My heart still wants a UAG though..

Cibo Case,
http://tinyurl.com/a89v4kb
I got this case in clear. it's been awesome. the sides have this grippy texture that makes it tougher to slip out of your hands. i've dropped my phone countless times so far onto concrete & the floor and the case saved it from scratches on the display or sides each time. another great thing is the case doesn't add that much to the overall thickness.
