Official hard case

Just picked this up for £9.95 from Phones 4U and I'm really impressed with it.
Nice mesh effect with a silver Galaxy S 2 badge.

Any pics ?

How is the grip/feel? Does it feel rubbery/tacky; or plastic/smooth/slippery? LOL
I wish I could find this thing in the U.S. All I have found is Hong Kong/UK, Paypal only, 2-3 weeks delivery etc...

Try ebay a seller selling for 7.95 or offer. I made £5 offer and they excepted, awaiting delivery, some1 has a pic on a different thread. Looks very nice!!!

I also have one of these, but it leaves the top and bottom exposed, so I also use the HTC HD7 leather pouch and with the hard case it combines perfect, got the leather pouch from o2 but they are cheaper from amazon ;-)

I got these pictures from another site:
http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/995514-samsung-galaxy-s-ii/page__st__90
Here is what the original author had to say about it:
Previous pics online stores of the official case don't give the impression of it looking as expensive as it does in person so hopefully my pics will help change that
The material is plastic/rubberised but it's not as rubbery as other cases, it won't show finger greasy marks like others and appears to be black inside and out so chips/scrapes won't show the undercoat which is good news as my Desire case had white showing on every edge!
I like the drilled look too, I don't think it's to help heat escape but more a design feature and does help grip too.
It also provides a bit of a lip on the front so if the phone is placed face down then the screen is protected from surface contact.

After dropping my phone in my room last night, it's been relegated to storage, impacted with carpeted floor, and shot off out the door, phone left on the floor screen down. Imagine that in the high street, even if it offers minimum protection it should atleast stay on the phone.

Yes we all heard about your accident
You got unlucky, that is all.

dunno mate i'm pretty careful and a little OCD about fitment, but it was off my desk, i mean surely a little more sturdy?
Something occured to me in the office, some thin doublesided tape could work wonders.

I think you got unlucky dude
My HTC Magic suffered a facial scare (the girls love scars, afterall!) yet my Desire was fine

do you have the link of ebay? I cant find this case anywhere.

try here, if you are in the uk:

[MINI REVIEW] Cheap Waterproof case.

Well I ordered it from eBay and it arrived today so as promised here's a micro review.
First impressions are not bad, I can't complain considering the price I paid for it and, for something to use whilst out walking or just using in the bath (pretty light duty stuff) etc... It will do the job quite nicely. You can use the Tab with it in the case and it works really well considering I have a screen protector on it too.
It doesn't have a cut out in the back to use the camera but it's no big deal.
I have the book cover case for my Tab, but it will not fit in the water proof case if the Tab wearing it, so you have to remove this first.
I've uploaded a video to YouTube if you want to see it in action.
And here is a bit more closer detail about it.
1) First Zip Lock
2) Second Zip Lock
3) Velcro to protect the locks

All in all, It's not bad, granted it's not a WaterBuoy or an Aquapac case but you get what you pay for, so if you want something to keep the rain off it or just peice of mind when using it on the beach (just anywhere near water really LOL) then the "eBay Special" will do the job just fine.... First ever review complete
Original Post
I was going to purchase one of the waterproof cases for my Tab from either eBay or Amazon, but has anyone here already bought one that can comment on how water tight they actually are?
Would you trust it to keep your device safe if it fell into the bath for example and could you use the camera whilst it is in the case etc etc... I'm mainly wanting one so it'll stay nice and dry whilst using it for Ordinance Survey maps whilst on walks and also if i drop it in a stream for example.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated if someone has bought one that is.
If no one has however, then I'll get one anyway and review it on here, in case anyone else is also interested in getting one.

Well this is one them, however, I ordered mine from ebay.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAMSUNG-P7510-GALAXY-ALL-WEATHER-CELLAPOD/dp/B005EFSELI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327162602&sr=8-1
There is another one eBay for £30 but I thought I might as well get the cheaper one first, as it maybe just fine for my needs, if not then I'll get the more expensive one.
Either way I'll let everyone know what its like when it arrives.

From your link:
"Boxed-product Weight: 64 Kg"
I really hope they made a mistake here . But even with forgetting the decimal and accidentally writing Kg instead of pound or something it would be quite heavy, as 6.4 pounds are almost 3 kilograms.

The product description does not provide much but I would be surprised if you will be able to use the Tab while in the case. It looks to me to be a waterproof cover that will protect the tab if it gets dropped in water but will require you to remove the tab to do anything.
There are excellent waterproof cases on the market for Apple products. I have one for my iPhone that offers full functionality while in the case and will protect the device even if it is submerged in 8 feet of water for over 24 hours, (I tested it). The manufacturer is LifeProof. They do not have a Tab version yet but are considering it. Otterbox is another manufacturer with a good product for iPhones and iPads.
The problem for manufacturers considering making products for the Android market is that Android tablets come in many sizes and shapes and are constantly being modified. By the time they produce the tooling to make a case for a particular device, that device is off the market. Apple is a much slower moving target so this is where the resources go.

Not happy with this case
I bought this case the day I got my phone at the ATT store. You are correct about the fit, it was almost impossible to take off. I did not like this case after 2 days. It is really big and bulky. If someone is looking for amazing protection, they may get it with this case. If you want your phone to fit in your pocket and stay amazingly comfortable in your hand, this is not it. At least it wasn't for me.

Speck Case
I got one of these too... Am returning it to AT&T because it's broken. Plastic cracked by power button. I've got a CaseMate barely there on the way and am considering a HTC C700 OEM clear hard case.

the htc oem is so clean!

This case don't have a bright color to match the HTC One X
The case seems of a old red color which is not keep in line with the HTC One X's fashion design, have no idea why choose this unmatch color...could say there are enough cases could beyond this one from eBay/Amazon.com and also competitive in price with an impressive pattern, anyway,I won't take any knock-off even it will cost less, however,who knows if it of a reliable quality? by the way, the new released ROCK HTC One x flip leather case may be a solution.

I cannot help you more than giving you my own experience, so that you can know if it is or not what you want
Heavy Duty case (unboxing and life-tested (simply don't know how to break my device with it :silly:
Tempered glass protector to fully protect the device
i'll soon try to find another case for a XT1039 -but lighter than the one for my XT1032-, and post a review asap.

I have a xt1032 (forgot to mention) the case looks nice. I don't mind if its a bit chunky unless its really chunky, overall I think the case looks nice . I don't know whether or not I need screen protector because I thought moto g screen is scratch proof. My current case is a big thick leather flip case which is a bit annoying when I play games.

For me the best case is the moto grip shell. It's colorful, it protects both the screen (because the silicon part comes a little bit over it) and the phone itself. You can find it on different websites around 10$...

A few days ago I ordered the case @matmutant suggested. It comes with screen protector,stylus and case and all for just 8€ so I'm pretty happy

grip shell from motorola is the best, all around performance, protect enough, slim enough

Well, you can easily cut a rectangle on a brick and hold the phone with hot glue...
There is some of these ugly cases on chinese websites like BangGood and Gearbest, check them.

(Had to remove the url from your post, cuz new user restrictions :/ )
How is the case? A review (with video) on Amazon UK shows the case blocking the original USB-C charging cable. Although on the main site, the reviews are mostly 4 or 5 stars.
Thinking if getting it for my Mi A1.
(Sorry if this is a double post, xda is acting weird)

Im using the Spigen Rugged Armour for one and a half year on this device, its amazing at keeping the phone safe all the times. I consider myself to be a rough user hence, this case had and still is serving me well. I have no intention of changing this device any sooner ( after looking at all the options in the market) so this will be my go to everyday case.

Spigen's case is perfect if you want your Mi A1 to be durable. Using it since I bought the phone and it's perfect!
