Has anyone got one of the cases Samsung is offering on there site?
Apparently I'm too new to post a URL here, but basically if you go to Samsung's website and look at their accessories for the Vibrant you can see them.
Just wondering if they were worth the hefty price tag. Also would be nice to have one that didn't cover the volume and lock buttons like the gel case that tmo sells does.
Nah I think they are too expensive and besides they are gel and will probably stick in your pocket. I went with a rubberized, plastic cover from ebay..
I bought a gel case from Ebay, it fits perfectly well although it said for Galaxy S. Really good deal considering $6 with free shipping.
I have posted this on t-mobile...I have the tmo one but like the blue galaxy s design on the sammy and was looking for a comparo of the two.

My box of Xperia Play didn't include a pouch so I must buy something to protect the phone.
I saw a cool plastic case: http://www.accessorygeeks.com/oem-t...-plastic-silicone-case-ag-xper-py-bk-blk.html and I thought it's good for me, but after a while I realised it turns the phone into a brick, something I don't really want to.
So then another option is to get a pouch, searched and found a few, but pretty expensive ($35 - $60). I just want something good, good looking and for a price of maximum $15.
Optional: An invisible screen protector which theoretical protects the screen for scratches.
I need some help here. What should I buy?
I don't know if you know this but, the Xperia Play comes with a preinstalled invisible screen protector. So you're half covered already.
I can't recommend you a case/pouch since I don't have one but I don't even want to know how bulky it'd be with one when it's on my pocket.
I got the official sony ericsson executive hardcase and i love it - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Ericsson-SMA7110-Executive-Xperia/dp/B004S5CP0Q
I don't really like the snap on case because I hate adding bulk to an already bulky phone and also I have the DK300 dock and it would require me to constantly take off the other cases.
I also bought the official pouch that came with the European models from here - http://www.netimes.com/shop/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-pouch-ca850-p-3255.html?cPath=70_808

Off-topic but how trustworthy is that site? I see they have a lot of accessories and ship worldwide, so far I've only used DealExtreme but they don't have many phone-specific stuff (except for the iphone).
Fast and efficient and supply tracked shipping.
I was amazed they had tracked shipping with signature approval for something that was just an envelope.

I bought my macbook sleeve/pouch from there a few years ago and it was awesome for keeping scratches off etc. Then When I got my play I measured up the iphone sizes for their iphone cases and on a whim just bought one to see if my would fit in it. was a bit tight at first but after a while it now fits as snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug! and it looks cool aswell, hardly adds any bulk and even if it does at least when I pull it out I don't look like I have a brick for a phone but just an awsome pouch/sleeve thing and i pop my phone out of. defo recomend.
So to make sure you guys are aware, if you're up for it, buy the iphone sized one, thats the one I got. They are designed to fit iphones but plays fit fine ;oP lol. They're Australian based but post all around the world, i got mine within a week in the UK.

I got the second one with my phone. I generally hate phone cases but this is nice since it's not making a brick out of phone and it's not taking away it's style. On the left is a cut-out so the headphones plug isn't covered, and it makes easier to take out the phone.
Pouch on first link is a bit ugly.
bought a cheapy gel case of Amazon and noticed there is not openings for the stereo speakers , I just looked at the case in post 1 and it has not speaker openings as well
This item, on ebay, has the speaker ports open, and is slimmer, and better than the Gel one I tried:
Search for that item number: 190527208284
I've got one of these, and it's well worth a few quid more.
Your case looks like the one i was going to order from Amazon for £2.99 , but is only £1.99
Thanks
John.

lol..It's a nice case, fits well, is slimmer than the crap one I had(prepaymania £2 gel case, and another from local phone shop, both identical to be honest), and I had given up on cases for it, as well, I thought most were the same(people even have issues with otterbox, etc..)
It's semi transparent, and it allows the sliding motion well, better than the other two I tried, i felt they were prising the phone apart, but this one isn't an issue.
well worth £1.99, IMO.
Cool stuff

Does anyone know where to get a good case for the 10.1 at a store? Tried ordering something online, and that didn't pan out and now I got 3 days to get a case before my trip.
Anyone have any experience with a case from target/bestbuy/walmart whatever that works and doesn't cost an arm and a leg?
Targus Truss
There is a case at Best Buy, I wanna say it is 40 USD but well worth it. It closes with an elastic banf that doubles as and hand strap. It also has three landscape viewing angles that work great for video. It is my first and only case though, but quite nice and stylish!
Belkin not a good buy
I bought the "better" of the two Belkin cases at Target...
It's nice but doesn't fit right... the Tab slides out a bit and makes touching the power and volume buttons difficult.
-s
Vipertek case from Amazon.com is 5stars. Best case ever. I like it better than the Samsung Official Book Case. Plus it doesn't cost over $30 and fast shipping.
Found a Belkin case at BestBuy that was pretty nice, but didn't want to buy it for $49. Turns out Target sells the exact same Belkin case for $29. SOLD!
Went into a Verizon store and grabbed the book case one. I love it!
Try this case which comes with Bluetooth keyboard.

I just bought a cover for my Iconia A100. The thing is that there's not too many accessories here in Argentina for may new flaming tab.
I need a skin to protect (and change the glossy blue back with the Acer logo) the back of it from scratches, a stand to put it next to my laptop at work and I'm sure I'll think of a few more once I get those lol
The thing is. I was thinking on DealExtreme, and I was also checking ThinkGeek (I get that one from this post).
So, any suggestions? comments about security? accessories you've tried?
It would be good if you can share the accessories that you already have to see what else can I get to my tablet ^_^
Thank you very much
eBay.
i ordered the Skinomi Carbon Fibre skin kit from there and it looks good, is very slim and protects against scratches.
there are plenty of accessories on eBay...
I have been quite happy with the cheap silicone cases and car charger I bought on ebay. I bought a Roocase leather case on Amazon and it works very well. It allows standing the tab up in both landscape and portrait mode. Both sources are cheaper than other online stores.
Sweet. I'll try out ebay then
Thank you very much
Hi all,
I just got a Samsung S2 T989 and I love it. Any recommendation for a good leather case for carrying it on my belt?
I got this from Amazon for my Samsung galaxy player 4.0 but it did not last for more than a couple of weeks
(the belt loops broken, stitches came off etc...):
http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Leath...95&sr=1-5&keywords=leather+case+for+galaxy+s2
So I'd appreciate if you could recommend a good one. Thank you very much
well on the internet I think most cases are overpriced except of course the one you posted. I bought mine at a local chinese mall for $10 and it is pretty good quality. I would recommend you do something similar.

I've got the black one I found on ebay for a few dollars less. Best I've found. Nice strong steel clip. Can be used with a Ditzonic or D30 case. Had it since Feb 12 and holding up extremely well. Very satisfied with it.
A little pricey, but worth the money imo.
