So I wonder if companies might start producing replacement battery covers for the Vibrant and Galaxy S? It seems that since the Vibrant is exactly the same size as the international Galaxy S they would be compatible if they existed. Given a major complaint about the phone is the cheap plastic feeling you'd think there would be a nice market for more premium battery covers. Sure one could just put on a case but for those who like their phone as slim as possible this might be a good option. Hopefully if enough people agree here some company will see there is demand and produce them.
check the link to the samsung accessories page in a thread a few posts down - samsung offers them for quite a few of the earlier high end models, including ones for extended life 2400 mAh batteries, so there's no reason they won't for the Vibrant or i9000
I'm looking for a good book/diary/wallet style case for my new T-Mobile Galaxy SII. Something like the BookBook case for the iPhone:

or this case for the international Galaxy SII:
http://www.bizwinkorea.com/tablet-p...ine-leather-diary-wallet-type-case-cover.html
I'd kinda want it to look like a leatherbound book, but that's not as important as it actually being leather. I do want it to have pockets opposite where the phone sits to hold money, cards, etc.
Anyone seen anything like this?
None? Nobody's seen anything like this?
Honestly bro I looked high and low for a case like this and it just isn't out yet. There's an OEM product called "Samsung d30 t989 leather slip cover" coming out sometime in the next few months that can be found with Google if you search the quoted phrase. The one case I found like what your asking turned out to be an incompetent eBay seller labeling **** for the international gs2 like it would work for ours.
Sent from my SGH-T989
eeeewwwwww.......
i don't like those cases, yes, they have their good uses, but... not my type
i can see many scenario and situation when & where i might want to use one, but it's not worth the cost
just search for something similar, you don't need an exact fit for those type of cases, look for another phone with similar size spec, and find it
any updates on this case?
bump for great justice. i really like the twelve south case
I've been looking at this
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=34089
just ordered it few days ago waiting for it to show up

dont buy for talkietech or wirless age or something like that, they both dicked me around for two weeks and told me not in stock, there is a guy on ebay from hong kong that has stich color options for pd case, but i got the original from the website above
I ordered a "black Napa leather case" off Amazon. Nice quality but so thick it could hold 2 sgs2's and way too wide. Clearly not made for our phone.

This case is exactly what I want but it's only for iPhone and the measurements don't match.... our phones are too wide
I've been searching for the same thing. I found this one and I really like it. Although the camera and speaker holes are wrong. Might get it and try it out anyway..

I actually might have found it on ebay.

The picture shows an iPhone but the description says it's for a galaxy s2. It's a bit on the pricey end and I'm not sure about the quality since it's not a genuine Twelve South. But they sold 12 of these so far without negative feedback.
EDIT: New link since the other one ended: ebay.com/itm/Twelve-South-BookBook-Style-Leather-Case-Wallet-Samsung-Galaxy-S2-/200706984428?_trksid=p4340.m444&_trkparms=algo%3DCRX%26its%3DC%252BS%26itu%3DSI%252BUA%252BLM%252BLA%26otn%3D5%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5992036502526272942#ht_571wt_1348
got the pdair really happy with it, but can only fit two credit cards in each slot, otherwise it looks like sh... i will post pix if you guys want

I guess, given that there's no hole on the back for camera or speakers, it should work just fine. I don't know how much different our phone is from the original GS2.
Still, at $40, I guess I'd like to hear from someone who has my phone and has bought the case.
I emailed the seller and asked for some pics of the actual item. I'm sure it's an i9100, but here ya go. Looks nice none the less. I may pick one up.
I axially bought one of these and I really like it. It doesn't line up with the holes for the touch buttons perfectly, but my x-acto took care of that easily. Seems to be pretty good quality. I've been using it for about a month.
I was talking to a rep on monoprice (which I'm sure many of you know carry some nice cell accesories for extremely good prices) inquiring about htc one x accesories and he told me they were gearing up for a bunch of new GS3 stuff. Just a little FYI for you guys looking for cases, docks and screen protecters and such in the near future.

I love Monoprice... but they havent actually ever carried lots of cell phone accessories, so I am lost as to why you think their stock will be extensive. All I have ever seen are cheap chargers and screen protectors, not anything more than that.
I didn't mean to have it read that they were getting a huge selection. But a big group of droidx users (when it first came out) hit them with a bunch of requests for cases and stuff and they came back with about 10 different cases, a few screen protecters and two docks. I have them right here.
I'm not saying they're super high end, just if anyones looking for a cheap case or screen protecter and doesn't want to spend $15 on it then you'll be in luck

I think I like this case because it has no magnets, yet maintains the slick form.

LoL. This site also has Wholesale with the price cutting in half if you buy 200. 200 ppl in Los Angeles area who wants to split? JK.
Which one would you choose?
Just in case anyone is interested I got the first one, Though I was really thinking about the one with the samsung logo.

Any opinions on which is the best of 3?

I have the first one in green. Love the colour but it does have a single button magnet on the strip that serves to secure the flip cover. Overall very minimal in design, very slim and lightweight!
Not sure about the other two but the 3rd one is cool for its rotation. Just note that you need some space in front to lay out the support.
One X to rule them all
Just curious if our T-Mobile S4 has a different battery cover?
It seems more silver/light blue to me compared to photos, similar to the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant. Thanks!
I don't have this answer, but was asking myself this when I got mine. It doesn't seem as "black" as the one I thought I saw. Best way to find out is to go to AT&T or Best Buy and compare. Which, I might do.
At first I didn't like it because it showed the pattern too much, but now I'm kind of used to it. Plus, when my Spigen case comes, it won't matter.
