Anyone know of a case like this?

Bumper cases are common for iphones. I really like the look and feel of them. Does anyone know of anywhere to find them for our device? I've looked everywhere it seems like! Here is a few pictures..

I think they're stupid on the iphone because I remember how they were released to address the antenna issues. Still, I just looked at a review of one (from youtube) for the SGS II and they're pretty cool since they protect the edges and still allow you to easily pop off the battery door to change the battery or swap out sd cards (or even use extended batteries). I'm kinda hoping they come out with them for our phones now...

This is the company that makes them, funny that this video was posted because I was just looking at the SGS2 cases they make and I was really looking at that same one.
Hope SGP makes it for our device.

Thanks! I'm hoping so too

Those are some of the nicest cases I have seen for non-iPhones. Please make them for our version.

Good wallet/diary style case?

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:
http://twelvesouth.com/products/bookbook_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.

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

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

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.

Mobi-Lens

Check out this lens adapter. I ordered one. The best part is, it should work with your next phone too. I posted in the Galaxy S3 forum, but I think it is probably more of a general accessory. I don't normally post, but I thought this was very interesting!

Can you post some pictures on and on the phone???

Very cool idea. Most lens implementations so far have depended on a case or a lack thereof, or were built with only one device in mind. I'd only be worried about the pressure of a clothespin on the screen, but then I handle my phone like a piece of fine china.

no way...

I'm not sure I would want to pinch that thing onto my phone either. Let us know how it works if you get it

so i just checked out mobi-lens..
FINALLY a photo attachment i can USE with my Android that doesnt use those damn magnets.
this looks legit, love the idea of clothespin, very adaptable so im in $60 for a combo pack!!
I noticed on their final product images, the clips have foam on the tip and the coils on the spring doesnt seem like it has much pressure. Its like a chip-bag clips spring.
The photos on their KS page look solid, even with a case on still looks decent.
I cant say it enough how i love the idea of being able to use it on anything. I own a Galaxy S3 and a Galaxy tablet and now I can use this clip on lens for photos and not lug my DSLR for daily hikes and bike rides.
:good::good::good:

Got my lenses today
Got my lenses today. I got the combo pack. They are awesome and really work as advertised. Can't wait to really get out and shoot some pics. So far they work on my cases great. Love that I don't have to take my phone out of the case to use them. The part that actually touches your phone is soft silicone like material. Not worried at all that is will damage my phone. Now I can use these on all my devices!!! So awesome.
Here is their website now. Since Kickstarter promo is finished.

$30? I ordered a similar product from eBay for around $8... haven't got it yet, so it might be garbage.
I wonder how they will compare.

Looking for parts to customize original VZW housing

So I thought the Gnex looked kinda boring as it stands (esp since there are no buttons on the front face), so I decided to customize my VERIZON Gnex a bit.
Before anything even happens, I want to find some parts to make it my own original design. Here are the things I'm looking for:
1) Brushed aluminum (silver) battery door; ideal design would be circular patterns that radiate from a central point (like the Acer Transformer Prime tablet)
2) A small Samsung decal in gray, silver or black (preference in that order)
3) A small Google decal in gray, silver or black (preference in that order)
4) A medium sized Nexus "X" decal
I would then paint my middle housing (and all buttons) the pearl white that's found on the Lexus IS 350/250. The back door would either be the brushed aluminum (silver), or I'd paint the original one the same pearl white and apply the Samsung, Google and/or Nexus decals accordingly.
Sadly, I've spent some time searching for the above items on eBay and have found nothing for my Verizon Gnex. Please point me in the right direction if you know where I could find such items. I know this kind of project is very popular (referring to the thread about the white housing), but I wanted mine to be a little more original. I have access to an auto body shop, so the painting isn't the main issue.
Criticism is welcome.

Make the images yourself then take it to one of those sticker places at the malls and have them make it for u. Won't cost too much and you will be able to get exactly what u want

If there isn't a manufacturer already making them, the battery cover in aluminum could get a little pricey. You would probably need to have it produced as a one-off piece from a machine shop with a CNC machine. I don't know for sure, but wouldn't that much metal have a detrimental effect on your signal quality? It seems like NFC would have a hard time at least, since it's range is so limited already. Either way, the idea sounds pretty cool. Would love to see some pictures when you get everything together.

Aluminium batter covers already exist on ebay and they kill NFC entirely. That's the reason why they aren't that popular.
This is how they look for the international version. Does not work with the Verizon (i515) version though.

Cool. Thanks for confirming that suspicion.

I actually dont use nfc at all right now, so its low on my priority list. However, i dont plan on having one custom made due to pricing. If anything now, i might make it full silver or pearl white with the decals.
Still lookin for decals tho

I found this for anyone who might like this design instead of a more minimalistic one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/11081105592...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_600wt_1037

New case arrived today! thought I would share

Ok so I got this case off eBay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayI...ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:AU:3160#ht_2990wt_754 and she just arrived today. I previously owned a tab 8.9 and had an official Samsung case for it, and this one is of exact build quality, obviously though this one has the spen and ir sensor exposed with the lid closed. It also has a small amount of magnetism where it locks close. If anyone wants some better pics let me know and I'll take some with a dslr.
Made my day, $16AUD and now my tabs not naked!

This is the first Ebay seller I have seen who is actually selling what he has pictured, e.g.. flap on bottom. I ordered two black ones with flap on top as pictured from this ebay seller but I receivd two white ones with flap on bottom. LOL

I have the same one. Bought from ebay aswell not same seller mine was $13USD , there is another seller as i was searching that had those as well but in green, pink, white blue and black.
Got the black myself.

sidenote. the case in the first post has a "silk" like front cover that scratches by virtually anything.

Nice, OP. I was thinking of getting one for my Note, but I didn't really like the stand. I prefer one that's a bit more stable, I guess.

I have it in white. Very very good case!

Can you share seller?
Can you share seller of yours?
