I've been able to compare both colors in my Universal. The reason, I ordered a white Silicone case - as my model is silver/white color - in Ebay, and received from Hong Kong a black one... damm it!... but the sellers' reaction was pretty good and fastly sent me a new white one as well.. good seller.
In the end, I have both colors..
I thought white color (cream, almost transparent) was gonna fit in much better than the black one, but must admit the black one is much more beautiful. it makes it aparently more compact, nicer, even though mine is sylver.
In the end, if I had to choose again, I'd choose Black, despite it is a bit dirtier than the white one, and gets more dust.
the only thing I am a bit dissapointed at is that Sil. cases don't really protect your UNIV. from almost any fall down or so, they are so thin!..
jmcl, where did you order it from? do you have any pictures of it?
thanks.

I have the black silicone case and am really happy with it. I ordered the black one from ebay and it came just as promised from Bangkok to the Netherlands without probs. Ordering from ebay was also easy using paypal that also has some buyer protection. I also thought the black would look weird with my silver universal, but it looks really good, it's a nice combination. I decided to go with this one over the boxwave silicone cases because I didn't like the pictures. They showed that the cut-outs were off and didn't show the way a universal looked normally (only portrait mode and poorly at that). Google for silicone case, dopod 900 and find a site called pda4thai and find some nice pics of the black case.
In use I can recommend a silicone case. It may not protect well against a good fall, but it will certainly help prevent one for me. When handling my universal I have a good amount of grip on it, whether closed or open, thus preventing it from sliping out of my hand or off of a table. Also it protects my device well from any dirty/fatty fingers that you may have.
As to transporting capabilities, I use the silicone case in combination with the piel frama pouch case (with the silicone case on the universal slides in slowly, but surely) and then use the headset to receive calls/listen to music.

Just change .ebay.es to .ebay.com (or whichever country you are in!) and you can then purchase that item with your ebay ID...

Thinking of getting the simple book case in mahogany myself
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Probably going to buy one next week. Looks like they did something even Verizon and Mot can't wrap their heads around.
They made cutouts for charging a device.... go figure.... people like devices that have power .

That's great! Thanks
nice. if anyone gets one can you make a vid review?
I just placed an order for a Keeper style case. I'll post up some pics and review/impressions once I have it in my hands. I customized the color so don't know how much additional time that will take before it ships, and then it has to make it across the border to Canada...
Very nice cases.
I would have definitely bought the simple book case if I didn't buy a kevikev a few weeks ago.
I just got one of the sleeve types, with my name on it! <glee>

It arrived! Keeper case in Natural Soft Red. I have a couple images I took but since I don't normally post it won't allow me to include them due to low post-count.
First impressions - it looks and feels fantastic. The leather is firm enough to protect but feels silky smooth on the hand. The color I chose is even better than I anticipated (you never know when looking at a monitor), and man do they ever give you a lot of choice in that regard. In fact, I just noticed the stitching is color matched with the leather - red stitching on the exterior red leather, black stitching on the interior.
When I first inserted the Xoom I thought the little magnetic clip/tab bit that holds it closed was faulty and too short. User error: it actually pulls out and retracts on an elastic connection. The Xoom itself fits snugly, not so tight it's difficult to get in but once it's in it doesn't move around at all. All controls are easily accessible.
There are cutouts on the back for the camera/speaker/flash cluster on one side and the speaker on the other. There is no cutout on the bottom for charging/USB while closed. Given the excellent battery life I've been getting so far on the Xoom I'm not turned off by this at all, but it's important for some. There are, naturally, notches in the cover to use while in stand-mode.
Oh... and it smells GREAT
Overall I am super impressed. This is far and away superior to the official Xoom case I almost bought and ended up costing me almost exactly the same. Totally worth the wait for the custom color. Totally recommended for Xoom owners, and since they make cases for just about everything I will be recommending Fortte to anyone else I know looking for gadget cases. Excellent work.
I received my side slider last week, and I have to echo the statements made by gaspump- the feel and look is fantastic, it has my name stamped into it as well.
After having used both the rubber and leather VZW cases, this thing blows them both away both in comfort, style and fit.

thank you very much for the excellent comments, just tell them they can enjoy our special customized cases and now with a 35% off ( HSS35 )

I am seeking to compile a nice list of "exotic" accessories for the S3.
truly cool exotic strange things.
They can be strange in look and style strange in function or strange in what they are made of (no gem plastered covers very boring unless its REALLY freaking cool
on ebay you can get really nice Bamboo cases. I have one coming in the mail will post better pictures later. search galaxy s3 bamboo
I also got a nice 3D silicon STITCH case !! ordered that too. (pictures of both attached)
I found a silicone Cassette Tape cover. not a tpu with picture of cassette but silicon in the SHAPE of a cassette too. very neat. for $4 why not. ordered that too.
On the forums right here found this Game klip holder to physically mount a sixaxis controller and s3 together.
http://buy.thegameklip.com/
This company
http://usshop.freshfiber.com/?Product Group=Samsung Galaxy SIII&_lang=en
has several interesting 3D cases. I especially like the "book" case (very elegant looking) and the dictaphone is quirky
on ebay you can also find other cases like stitch but of teddy bears etc..
I found a bunch more odd ball silicon cases on ebay and another wood veneer case (looks like its not bamboo) pictures attached.
Can't forget the Gameboy Case oh and there is a calculator one too (non working pity)
Found a case with built in "lights" (remember those lights that flash when your phone rings? that!) I think it only works with GSM though.
Here is an interesting one. I have a bunch of those little lenses you attach to phones wide angle macro etc..
this is a 4x lens !! a little steep in price for an impulse buy but I will be keeping an eye on this one
280774520126
This one is actually kind of cool.
130780971906
its a case with a 3D LEAF On the back but its actually a place where you can wrap and store your head phones. thats actually pretty neat. a bit expensive though.
That's one way to put a mirror on a phone
280964614237
While not exotic its certainly not common
261109686186
a Galaxy SIII SHIRT
OK now this 120985261306 is actually pretty cool looking. wish they made it in ORANGE
HAH found it 120985263426
Interesting if your a cyclist. designed to look like a bicycle helmet 180994575165
ok I am done for now. that just the first 40 pages next 12 hours of auctions.
its mostly cases. anyone find any other neat things?
Max 20 per post so here is the rest
OK some of these are just hideous ! its certainly exotic ! 130781376064
Definitely not my cup of tea. It will make s3 so ugly.

I like them
Very Nice, Thanks
Via mon nouveau S3
victor I said exotic not expensive.
exotic as in "strange" or "unusual" or "not typical" etc.. etc.. that is what exotic is. not your typical tpu/otterbox/leatherbifold type accessory.
anything strange fun exciting etc..
because the S3 is so nice and most importantly the "SAME" across the board we are seeing a lot more accessories made for it since they can make ONE accessory and it will fit "ANY" S3.
I wrote to these folks to inquire about a S3 version of their case. They said once production starts on the iPhone version, they will begin the S3 design. If I move to a new case from my white UAG \ Spigen Modello duo I currently use... it will be to this one. It has a knife, screwdriver, thumbdrive... just look, it's damn neat! The camera lens attachment looks awesome as well!
http://www.indiegogo.com/TheReadyCase
hey that is pretty slick. I like the built in lens ring I use those lenses quite a lot!
Ok here is some more "cool" ones
found a lego style one. got it for $2 so yeah I bought it
the fake camera doubles as a kickstand one is neat.
then you have the hard feline one and the "purse" style one with strap.
Now this one is actually REALLY cool. 251158308395 the USB cable has a built in hiding spot inside the case. but its rather expensive at $38 more than I am willing to pay. if anyone finds one cheaper please post. Great idea!
HEY almost forgot this one a NON CASE gadget!! not S3 specific but its cool and strange and works with the S3 so it counts old school HANDSET Headset. I love using this I have the orange one of course you can get them for $10 on ebay
nice info mate..but ill just stick to my slim hard case...

Haha some of these are pretty crazy. Still trying to figure out if I even want a case yet. So far I've been very delicate with this one.

i would at the minimum get a bumper case or tpu case. about $4 on ebay. it only takes "ONE" time to not be careful and that's all she wrote for $500 poof. I can not afford not to have a case so I might as well have fun with em.
Hey guys,
I was looking for a case for my GS2X, and I found this one that doesn't seem to add too much bulk, and has some styles. I am not particularly buying a case for protection. I want to have some style to my phone, thus I am looking for cases that doesn't cover the top and bottom which usually leads to sleeker design in my opinion.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Natural-Woo...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item4d06a7e4c2
Anyone tried this one? It's not as girly as other ones that this seller sells. 11 people have bought it so far, and I'm wondering how it fits, and what it looks like when the phone is in the case, especially on the front.
Thanks!
That looks pretty unique. I don't know if you're gonna find many people on here that have it, lol. Seems like it might be crumbly or easily breakable, but that's just by it's looks.
There's plenty of fancy and inexpensive cases for this phone. I just search "t989 case" on ebay and sort by lowest price + shipping.
nice but...
For $18.99 it's not that nice. Sorry, it struck me as a bad buy. Good luck with your case search.
For me, at that price I would want my phone in a case that I know will protect it and at least look a little better. Then again i still am using my first case that I bought from E-bay. It was one of those cases where you get like 10 and pay for shipping only =)

Best Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (Wallet type case with card slots)?
Hard to say what is a best since it could be a matter of personal preference, but you can get a lot of choices here: http://www.tvc-mall.com/search?cid=&q=note+3+wallet
If I'm looking for no-brand name accessories, I typically deal with either tvc-mall.com for cases or dx.com for other gadgets.

I like texture of this case.
I have not seen any brand cases where they have those card slots and have nice texture.
Many cases looks so wierd and poor quality.

Looks very similar to one of the S4 cases I tested/reviewed from case-parts.com (it's the same company as tvc-mall.com), here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2319150 - scroll down to white wallet case. The texture and built quality was very good.

this looks very proper and elegant, thanks :good:
Taking a shot with this. Exactly the type and style I was looking for. Almost abnormally high number of 5 star reviews on Amazon but looks legit:
Black Panther Leather Wallet Case
Black Leather Wallet Case
Ordered the Black Panther directly through their website, followed on Twitter for 10% discount, ends up $9 cheaper than Amazon
Fliptroniks direct link
No mention of it (or the company) through a search here at xda so taking a chance. I'll return and give my opinion once I get it.
Spigeon Slim Armor S-view
Although I usually love Spigeon cases, the Slim Armor S-View model is sub-par IMO. The hinge for the front cover is held together by two small plastic pegs, which after less than a month of opening and closing it has caused the plastic part that holds the pegs in, to break off and the hinge will not stay on and close. If you just love the case or want the S-View function, than I would eith suggest the official Samsung S-View case and buy the magnetic clips to keep it closed, or get a knock-off case. I remember aliexpress.com having a bunch of knock-off stuff for cheap, but keep in mind it is still knock-off/clones.
Wallet case? I don't know, probably Spigen has some nice cases. I have one wallet case and is from Design Skin. I like it, but don't how others would think about it.
I just want to say i don't like my Note 3.
