Nice, but the model is the GSM version, no go for the Verizon/Sprint GNexus.

No offense, but what does your comment have to do with the topic?
Those doors look badass. Plus metal trumps flimsy plastic any day IMO. Hope they come up with CDMA model soon.

While I agree that they look good, I have already found out that the GSM batteries are different from the CDMA batteries. Neither the batteries themselves nor the battery covers fit in the different phones. He's helping us USians keep from wasting $15 bucks on something that won't fit.

waiting for a lte version wont be anytime time soon, they may not even be produced them.
That cheap aluminum sheet doesn't look any better thank stock cover. Better off just get yourself a metallic slim case.
I would assume this would dent very easy. I like the look but I doubt they will last very long.
Would this not most likely totally destroy NFC performance if not totally eliminate it?

"Vibrant Dimensions 122.4 x 64.5 x 9.9 mm"
"Galaxy S i9000 dimensions Dimensions 122.4 x 64.2 x 9.9 mm"
Alright then. I'll order it and let everyone know lmao!

Ouch on the price. A very good full case can be had for less.
Interested to know how it fits though in case a replacement becomes necessary at some point.
Thanks.
I prefer going Naked with my Vibrant All it needs is the with google
The Google is a nice touch why not just get a decal?

pretty sure that .3mm measurement difference is just an error. there is zero reason why samsung would make one phone wider or slimmer... the vibrant even shares the chassis with the i9000... the forward facing camera hole is even present.

Duno but Captive cases wont work so just figured that was the same with the i9000, would be better for us if it were this way when the white cases come out.

The captivate is the most unique Galaxy S phone in terms of appearances, the Vibrant is one of the phones that is pretty much alike to the I9000 aside from the 4 keys and a front camera.
The captivate's method of taking it off is different as well.

says its not compatible with vibrant, i would assume if i9000 and vibrant shared exact same battery cover, then this would fit, meaning the one you purchased would fit too. since this doesn't, maybe the listing you showed won't either?
ps... why does it say unlocked i9000 only, what does being locked or unlocked have anything to do with a physical battery cover?
I really don't know. We'll see when it gets here.

Has anyone found any decent cases for the GSM GN in the US at all? A pouch or anything? I realize we have some VZW stuff coming in but since the VZW version is supposed to be thicker, not sure that would work well.
If not from a US retailer, what have you purchases from overseas?

Product Description
11/17/11 Update: Our case will fit both models. It was designed around the i515 (LTE) dimensions. Since the i9250 is less than a 1/2mm smaller it will also fit perfectly. You only run into issues once you get over 1mm in size difference on TPU cases.

Yes it will fit both versions but it will fit the LTE versions better as it was designed for those.

I'm not trying to be an ahole, but if you already overpaid to get the Nexus early, does X percent off really matter at this point? Plus like I said, we hard have anything to chose from.

I haven't bought one, but have bought other stuff from there. They seem to photoshop any brand names out for their photos, as they're not genuine I suppose.
I'd guess that the missing 'g' would be on the actual cover.

I have standard GSM covers being shipped to me for my laser etching designs. If you're interested in getting a battery door with a laser etched design PM me.
I had a Seidio Surface case/holster combo for my previous phone and it was my favorite case. I wanted to get one for the Galaxy S2, but Seidio doesn't make one for the T-Mobile version. It's available for all other flavors of the Galaxy S2... just the T-Mobile version has been left out.
I wrote to them asking if they had plans to produce one in the future, but I can't get a straightforward answer from them. They just point me to their existing products for this phone. I was hoping that if there were enough people showing interest in this phone case, they'd consider adding it to their lineup. If you've got a couple of minutes and you'd like to see it happen, please consider contacting them about it.

The Active is a more rugged and bulkier case than the Surface. I've never had an Active case, but I wanted something like the Surface case that I could slip into my pocket or use the holster as needed.
I can't post outside links yet, but if you look at the Samsung Epic 4G Touch category on their site, that phone has both cases available for it. It should give you a good idea of what the Surface case should look like for the T-Mobile version of the phone.

Specifically with regards to fitting into cases - will one fit perfectly into a case made for the other and vice versa. I think I may have found the answer when I searched the forum but I want to hear it from someone who knows definitively. The threads I found were regarding battery and back covers.
Thanks! I found a decent deal on Seido Active but it's for i717.

Yes they share the same form factor, I ordered a cover which was designed for i717 and fits perfectly fine N7000.:good:
they are not exactly the same form factor... bear in mind the AT&T version has some bloatwares you need to contend with.. RAM size and chipset wise.. it's not the same as well... yeah.. i guess externally they're all the same.. internally... hmm... I got the international one over the at&t one, don't ask me.. but I could've never been happier getting the international one. Performance wise... It's wayyy too better.

My bad dude.. and don't get too ballistic on me (for my post). I was merely also pointing out the disadvantages on one versus the other. Form factors are the same.. but realistically, the phone and it's accessories are not. Minute things that is.
Yeah I made a mistake and I do apologize for that. But again let me stress out.. Not all accessories do fit in with the i717 and with the N7000 international one. There are still accessories that are specifically designed for the N7000 which you can't find one in the i717 version, e.g. accessories that maximizes the NFC on the i717 which you can't find on the international version.
Battery door clips are located a little differently which makes the battery doors non interchangable. Cases in general are fine to interchange.
