Wallet Case - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I'm looking for a wallet type case for this phone. Has anyone come across something that can hold a couple of credit cards?
The other option is something that can be modified like a case for an extended battery or something along those lines.
XDA won't let me post links so this is the iphone version of what I'm looking for:
Google: iphone credit card case

The hard way wold be going to your local shoe-maker (cobbler) or repair place (perhaps a saddle shop where they MAKE/Fix them (we dont have those in NY)
Tell the guy what your looking for. I could make it for you (and I am just good with my hands) in ten minutes if I had the leather, knife and a leather sewing needle and requisite thread. You probably could make one out of an old purse you found at a thrift store and do a fine job in as much time as it would take you to read & respond to this.

Its more than a wallet but it does fit in you pocket and they last a looong time. I've had one for most of thirty years and the only thing wrong with it is the loop that holds the pen is torn, Rick

Well you could try this one...
http://www.extremepda.com/Swiss-Leatherware-Smartphone-Wallet-Case_p_764.html
It is "generic" case and suppose to fit "99%" of the smart phones out there... Of course ours is probably the other 1%.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I tried emailing case-mate and their response was that they do not plan to make one for the Galaxy S2. Not even the international version.
I can see why...
If you take a credit card/ID and hold it between the speaker and flash, it just barely fits. If you take tolerances and materials into consideration, it just wont fit at all. I guess the best best would be that extremepda case.

I saw a leather case at best buy that had a slot on the front for credit card/money

T Mobile Case - new function

Okay, sounds dumb, I hate carrying a wallet. Discovered that I can very easily put my debit card behind the back cover of the phone and the case.
Yeah... Basic I know, but perhaps others haven't thought of it.
Very good idea actually.. Are you talking about the gel case?
Have you seen the cases designed for this as well, i saw a few on Ebay that had the debit card slot but they were leather. Pretty cool!
^^ yeah, the black one that was the only option at release.
^ got a link, that sounds pretty awesome!
Good call, I tuck one of those lint free cloths behind mine for the occasional screen cleaning

I bet you're looking for a case like this one for the iPhone.

Unfortunately, there are none like it for the Vibrant as far as from what I can tell by searching.

Awesome idea. Now when I palm your phone at the bar, I can get your card too. lol
I liked to see someone take my phone... they would be better off punching my mom in the face.
losing your phone would be exponentially gayer though

[Q] Cases w/ ID Card Holder

Anyone know of any cases with Credit Card or ID Card Holder ??? I found some made by Case Mate but it's only for iPhone 3G/3GS/4.
Thanks in advance for any assistance on this.
I've been looking for one for any phone other than the iPhone for months and I haven't been able to find anything. I even emailed case mate about it and they never responded.

maybe does not look as good but....
I finally found something worth getting. I just ordered one. Also work on just about any phone.
Since I can't post links I will direct everyone on how to get there.
Go to Amazon and search for Sinji Pouch

This is all I can find. its not for our galaxy S2 though. its meant for the international version
edit: I didnt look close enough at the it. I guess the "case" is a just a sticker so in theory it should still work?
I have that pouch. The part of the phone at the bottom that curves up makes it so when you put the pouch on... It's not flat.. So the end doesn't stick down well. However, it works for me until they release a good looking case with an ID holder... Hopefully something like the twelve south iphone case. Here's a pic that sorta shows you what I'm talking about

ATTENTION Case Producers (Free Case Desing)

Here is my case desing. Is there anyone who can make this case available on the market
i like the idea..
Isn't there anybody who owns or knows someone owns a case manufacture company.
I don't want anything except a sample case.

I like the design also so here's a bump. BUMP!
I would buy one if someone were to make these.

Great concept, flawed product.
#1- The flap will be loose, so it needs to be secured. Best way is for a Magnet link.
#2- Placing your cards on the outer side means more chance of opportunistic theft
#3- Even adding one credit card will make the case thicker. Its usually not a problem, but since they will be "stacked" the inner side will get thicker in some areas and not in others.
This creates a loose "touch point" of the inside flap and the screen.
(eg/ Apple's Smart Cover, imagine the middle being quite thick and the borders shallow - it wouldn't touch properly).
I do like the idea of combining your phone + wallet into one package, but its not really theesable. Firstly, it will make the NOTE too bulky, and its already stretching out some pockets. Secondly, the amount of storage is low on the package. A wallet will hold more contents.
I personally have a skinny wallet with a ~3 credit cards and half-dozen business cards and ofcourse paper money. I place it in my ass pocket, phone goes alone to front right pocket... I tend to multitask easiest this way.
Would've got this but, I don't like leather and I want a pouch where my phone slides out, not stuck to the case. Also, no room for a usb host cable.

Flip wallet with no cradle

I'm trying to locate a wallet case for my Note that has a standard Samsung back case, not a full backside with a plastic cradle to hold the phone. Those cases makes it hard to get the stylus out. I have looked high I have looked low but I haven't looked right because I can't find anything like that.
Any and all tips are deeply appreciated.

ebay is great for these, just search N7000 flip case!
The ones I locate all have a simple cover, not pockets for bills and credit cards.

I also looked for something like this, but found nothing. It's either a choice of a replacement back panel with plain flip cover, or a credit card wallet with a cradle.
The only alternative might be to adapt one with a replacement back panel, perhaps by fixing some credit card sleeves to inside of the cover. The hinge might not allow enough extra play for this though.
you can actually ask your local shoe repairshop if he can make one from the one you have. I think he can. Its a question of adding leather on the front so it still fits, an opening for bills and a series of slots to hold cards.
Do note there are reports of cards pressing on screen that could damage/leave prints on screen and on screen protector.
my experience not in making but in use is that the original flap breaks after a while. Not sure, but whennit does, it looks like cupboard lmao

As I suspected then. Quite vexing. Seems like such a winning construction. Keep it thin enough for your pocket, yet add the function off s wallet. Outside cards and cash everything from my old wallet is now in my Note.

Indeed an excellent idea. Now if I could only go back 30 years when we still had a cobbler in town
Kidding aside I shall see if it is feasible, bring the original backside and explain as good as I can.

Lifeproof fre cases

Just broke my first s3 and bought a new one, this time I said no more otterbox and went with lifeproof.
Damn fine cases, quality, built in screen protector and best part. There waterproof! Buttons are easy to press, not like otter box basically crush the phone trying to press the power button lol
I got mine on amazon.ca for 39.99 free shipping. And I signed up for a amazon credit card and saved another $20.
Cases are good quality compared to my old otter box. Otter box rubber is falling apart, like breaking down. I contacted otterbox customer service. My warranty was up in one week from when I contacted them. I sent emails properly to them submitting the defects, they asked for more of the same pictures..... Basically wasting time. Then at the end of the week guess what. They told me I'm no longer under the 1 year warranty. No u wasted a week trying to make me waste time. Lol
Well let me tell otter box this.... U won't see a red nickel from me ever again.
In short lifeproof is a better case and company then otter box. I've already been in the water with the case 2 times. No leaks phone is fine.

I think they have a legal obligation to honor the warranty if the claim was initiated before it ran out.

Interesting point. They closed the case promptly and told me I have to open a new case.... I see where this is going so I just gave up.
I am going to contact them again bringing that part up. Mighty fine point.

With a shot. If anything you could sell the case or use it as a backup since you have a Lifeproof. I moved to Lifeproof from Otterbox and have never looked back.
How does LifeProof compare to CruzerLite? I was thinking about getting a CruzerLite case for my AT&T Galaxy S3.
Moved to S3 Accessories forum.
I used to work at a store that sold these when they first came out. I tested them out a few times and found them difficult to pry apart and get on/off the phone. They looked very well-constructed and effective, but can anyone vouch for their ease of use in relation to applying to phone and taking it back off? Have they changed it up at all as far as anyone can attest?

I've been using mine on my S3 for about 3 to 4 months now and with a coin you can open the case not super easy per say but it comes off once you open it.

you get raised buttons that allow you to use all the iPhone controls, while a sealable door and plug cover the Lightning port and headphone jack along the bottom edge. The headphone jack is fairly narrow, but LifeProof includes an adapter that extends the jack beyond the case. Rounding out the package is a microfiber cloth and a replacement headphone jack plug.

Hmm interesting, I keep the box for my lifeproof case in my car and there isn't an adapter.

Hmm, sounds like a step up from what I remember. I recall bending back some fingernails a few times trying to open those things. Guess they must have re-designed them a bit, or I just didn't know what I was doing...
I hear good things, so maybe I'll check one out for my next case.

All you really need is a coin like a quarter or a nickel since they are thicker than a penny and dime. Those have worked just fine for me

From a legal standpoint, the date of complaint stands. Don't let them give you the run around bro. Unfortunately this should have been taken care of immediately. If they give you a hard time and do not want to cooperate, you can still open a case through the Better Business Bureau and let them handle your complaint. Hopefully you have some emails with the date you 1st contacted them. If not, it'll be your word against theirs.
Best of luck to you.
Personally, I've had two OtterBox Defender cases. One I ended up giving away in my section and the other has never been used. As for the built-in screen protector, I popped it out a few days after I started using the case and applied one from Tech Armor. Great screen protectors by the way! I ended up getting a ZeroLemon 7000mAh battery and bought their ZeroLemon Rugged Case. It's not waterproof but it is one heck of a case. I know for a fact it has saved my phone on two occasions. It can be used with stock batteries too. Not bad for $19.99. It also comes with a 180 day warranty just like their batteries.
