I'm looking for a pouch/slip style case for the S3. It is an open top type with elastic on the side.
I just want a case like this for when its in my pocket at work to protect the screen.
I am going to buy the official Samsung S3 flip case when it comes out as well. In general I hate cases as they make phones so slim, and then bulky cases go on them.
I like the look of the S3 whereby if the back gets scratched you can replace anyway. I prefer to use the phone naked, but when in my pocket I want it in a slip case oe pouch.
I don't want one of these pull tab pouches, last one I had stained the screen on a phone I had.
btw I'm in UK, so online, shop, eBay etc is fine
cheers

Sort of, but there was a case before I had (trying to find a pic) that was more open on the sides and had elastic on the sides. Sort of like the Blackberry case you get, where they just slide in, and are quite sturdy to protect the screen. I prefer to use my phone naked when in use
I can find a lot of sock type pouches, this one I'm after was a little more solid to protect the screen
after looking all day, think I've found one, not sure its exactly what Im looking for from the pictures though, was £8 so will see..

Well received that one, but its ridiculously too big. the height is fine but its not thin enough for the phone. it just slips straight out, about twice too thivk for it.
Anyone know of another one like this please?
I got this one - no web on the sides, but a perfect fit and slim...

Just curious if any of your guys are using any particular hard or gel cases for the MT4G that you are happy with so far? I need to get one for my wife's phone and want to see what the community is using thus far...
Im using one and it fits nice and tight. It came packaged with a screen protector and a microfiber cloth with the mytouch logo on it. I really like gel covers, it kinda absorbs drops. I had one on my cliqxt at it kept it looking brand new with no battle scars

I got the same one, problem I have with it is it picks up dust so easily. It goes from being a black gel case to grey. I did see one at T-Mobile I really liked, a thin grey gel skin with a hard white back that went over it.
i find hard cases to be more for logo's/styles... its hard to find a hard case thats actually tight and protective from all angels, most the time when its dropped it just pops right off... gel cases absorbs the shock but also doesn't pop off so prevents scratching... TPU cases are nomally not as "sticky" as gel cases where fibers from your pocket will stick to them... all in all its personal preference

This is the one I use and I LOVE IT! Soft on the inside, hard on the outside! Slides EASILY in and out of case/pocket and NO LINT/DIRT collection on it like with bare GEL covers.... Pricey at $30 but worth it!
That case does look sick on the phone (thanks for the pic's) but does it make the phone thick? I usually end up taking my case off just because I prefer thin phones... I would imagine this would be like using 2 cases hence doubling the thickness?
The gel case is very thin, doesn't add a whole lot of bulk to it. It winds up being about as thick as a standard case.

Very thin much better then the gelskin and sits almost flush with the screen so its real easy to type on the edges.

That's the one I have. Actually, that particular case is what decided for me whether to get the Black/Red model or the White one (which I chose).
Had they had this exact setup in Black/Red, I would have gone that way. But as it stands, I really like it. Plus, it has the "MyTouch" logo on the back, which adds to it's "Not-from-some-mall-kiosk" appearance.
T-mo stores...
my only gripe is how hard the case is to get on properly, which would be no problem exept you cant dock it with it on...
If they had the grey/black combo I'd have bitten the bullet and gotten it. Of course, vinyl dye would work pretty well, as long as you give it a few days to cure.

Yup got mine at a T-mo Store too and love it...I have the Case-Mate Tough Case on my Nexus and this is hands down way thinner and sexier!
Went to the tmo store yesterday and looked at the cases. Every single one of them covers the dock buttons, so if you're planning on docking it, you'll have to take it out of its case, dock it, put it back in etc...etc... What a pain. If they make a car dock, that's going to be even worse.
I can just see my typical day... wake up, take out of dock, slip into case, get to car, slip out of case, on to car dock, get to work, get out of car dock, slip into case, get to desk, slip out of case, put into desk dock, go to lunch, slip into case, etc... OMG!
The only one I saw that wouldn't be too bad is the plastic holster that just cradles the front and leaves the back open.
thats what i wound up with for the exact same reason!... that plus a phantom skin when they drop will probably be what covers mine
Wow i really like that case.... is it anywhere online? I just freakin spent 20 bucks online on a gray rubber/clear plastic bodyglove on ebay... It should come any day now I just hope it doesnt clash with my red phone lol but yeah.... Is that case available online or only at tmobile?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I have been looking for cases lately, and I was thinking - A regular case will take away from the beauty of the phone, I like to have my phone without a case but unfortunately accidents do happen and I would be very disappointed if something did (such as my phone dropped etc..).
So I was thinking it might be nice to have some type of belt clip or holster, but I have never been in the market for that type of case -maybe you could make some recommendations ?
I was thinking I would prefer a vertical case instead of a horizontal one because that seems like it would be odd to have that on my belt in that position ...at least the vertical one I could clip it to the inside of my pocket....
idk - please advise me though...
Tmobile makes a holster that you can rotate vertical and horizontal. You can also invisible shield the whole phone for added protection just in case you drop it. I'm in the same boat so looking at options also.

I bought the myTouch leather holster for work.

The one at the T-mo store is a clear plastic with just a bit of opaqueness to it. You holster the phone in screen side down so the screen is protected from any scratches.
It actually looks quite nice. I might get this one just because if and when the docking stations come out, I don't want to bother with taking the phone in and out of a case, since all the cases I've seen cover up the dock buttons.

I hear a lot of people complaining about their invisible shield , things such as turning yellow or not protecting the WHOLE complete phone or even just not completely protecting it from a fall (I.e. it still gets dents / scratches or cracks)...

are you speaking about the grey / smoke colored one? I saw one like that on e-bay.... the point about the dock and having a case is a good one...

yes. the smoke colored one. The plastic seems sturdy, and the phone fits in solid.
I went to T-mo store and the boxes that the cases come in can be opened from the back. I asked them for a demo unit (wasn't gonna use mine ) and tried on every case, and that's when I noticed none of them had openings for the dock buttons.

maybe it can be customized to fit with the dock opening?...
but as far as the Holsters / Beltclips thing goes - I was thinking of putting an InvisibleShield (or something similar) protecting the whole phone, then have a Holster/Beltclip/ Pouch for it....
Does that sound good or reasonable? Maybe you might have other alternatives?...
I found this link by google:
http://www.letstalk.com/tmobile-mytouch-4g-cell-phone-accessories
they have some decent looking holsters...
I had an idea though, I do not have to order one specifically for the MT4G, I can get one of a phone with similar dimensions (i.e. iphone 4 holsters, or nexus 1 holsters, etc...)
Found this BTW:

You guys should try this case too. (Incipio Feather case) I spent like 3 days searching for the perfect case for my captivate (from silicone case to leather pouch) and this one has by far the best quality and look, not to mention about the extreme thinness. Got it this afternoon and fits perfect to the phone and looks great as in the picture. The only draw back is that it doesn't cover the front side, but I can live with that.
I loved that case with my iphone, it's crazy light and thin. The only problem I had on my iphone is all I could get was white and it got nasty dirty in a week, so I would advise against white

Is it made of the soft rubber like material that gathers dust?
it's made of plastic, but looks like it's mixed w/ some sort of rubber or soft material because it's got that little bit of soft touch. (maybe that's why it's more flexible too) So far it doesn't gather any dust like some silicone cases do, but i will have to see more since i just got it today.
i wish they had more colors. Black phones get lost in the void that is my purse.

Ebay captivate incipio and they have the exact same case but in pink (but its called magenta)
From the eBay description: "With a convenient two-part sliding design, the EDGE™ embodies innovative cases focused on accessibility. Simply remove the bottom cap to dock your device in most any docking station for quick and easy charging."
I have a home dock I put the phone in every night. This is the main reason I stopped using a case. How does this design work with the Samsung dock? I can't tell from the pictures and I'm not willing to risk $25 to find out.

Not sure if you realize but the EDGE is a different case than the Feather, which is what the OP got. Again, sorry if you knew that. Just thought you might not realize.

I thought so, but the one I was looking at on eBay (that I took that quote from) matched the one in the pic the OP posted.
Just wondering if this slides on like a silicone case or if it clips on like other hard plastic cases, is it hard plastic or like a hard silicone?
Any way you could take a picture, the incipio site doesn't really show anything to great about it?
Does it fit tight?
How does it hook on?
Even though I'm a dude I'm tempted to get the "Magenta" one just to spruce up my phone haha.
Is it hard to get on and off? I need to replace my battery once a day.
The Feather is 1 piece that snaps on, and from the pictures, it looks like it only hugs the corners. The EDGE is a 2 piece snap on case.
*taken from http://www.myincipio.com/
Does anyone have any photos of this case from the top or sides? I can't find any real world or manufacturer pics of that.
that looks nice
it doesn't cover the edges and by the looks of it, it only protects the back and if you place it face down it won't lift the phone off the surface any
It looks nice but it doesn't protect anything. The corners and front have no protection. With my experience when you drop a phone the corners get messed up
I've just ordered one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI...6&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:AU:1123#ht_2130wt_1139
I'm a bit apprehensive about the capacity of it, as I'm not sure the 5.3" format _really_ does fit but will post back when it turns up and let you guys know.
I'm been searching high and low for a suitable arm band.
But unable to find any, hope post back soon.
on description:
Made for most large smartphones including HTC EVO 4G, HTC Thunderbolt, Samsung Droid Charge, and other devices up to 3.3"W x 5.1"H
isn't compatible with Note.
No offense, but I really don't know what you were thinking when you ordered that armband. The Note is clearly in a size category of its own and will never be compatible with accessories for a phone like the Evo 3D
I've bought this one.
rescuesupply.co.uk/aquapac-aq218-large-armband-case-waterproof-1129-p.asp
Looks like it will take the size. I'll let you know when it's been delivered.

fairly sure thats the one aquapac said would fit, (although their website says 7.5" circumference and the Note is 8") I like their kit, works well.
http://store.aquapac.net/explore-product-range/waterproof-phone-cases/large-armband-case-218.html
although in the velomobile I tend to find using one of these around my neck works better
http://store.aquapac.net/medium-whanganui-fits-kindle-3-658-17.html
(not sure if the small version would work)
Just got my aquapac arm band. It fits perfectly. There's a little room at the top but it can be folded down. Great fit width ways very snug.
Arm band is nice and long so it will fit around jackets if needed. Very impressed.
I bought it from Kit protector on amazon uk.
cool, can it be like fold at the bottom and top part together? like hidden it .. so it looks like the armband just fit nicely for the phone? (i mean with no space at all)
Yes you can do that quite simply.
I took it out for a run yesterday and I need to adjust the arm band or get a different one. It's almost to elastic and kept on slipping down, if you have runners arms the arm band need shortening somehow.
But overall I'm still pretty happy with it.
looking at your pictures, the small whanguni case should fit then ...
as the armband is listed as 7.5x6.8
where as the whanguni is 8x6
My small whanguni (cheers aquapac That sounds really silly).. Arrived. Today, note fits perfectly length and width. downside (obviously ) its not ideal with the Samsung for flip cover..
Closed it slides in and out fine, but not a lot of use... With flip open can't use camera inside the aquapac, and the felt face of the note flip cover makes it tricky with to extract.
With stock back on (no flip) its superb, works and fits perfectly.
hmmm do you think it would Fit still if the note had a gel case on it?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Ok, just to clarify: the Small Whanganui case is basically a plastic bag, right? As in, we still have to purchase the armband from Aquapac separately?

if you want to look at it like that, all the aquapacs are plastic bags, much in the same way the galaxy note is a mirror to shave in..
it the whanguni doesn't have an armband, uses a lanyard, so its an alternative to the armband one.

Yes it fits in but it is a little snug. The gel case and the Aquapac do seem to stick a little so it doesn't just slide out, you have to coax it.

I like to use my phones naked. I've already got the official flip cover that I use for work for extra protection.
At home I'm currently using a cheapy pouch but I've ordered the official pouch.
Anyone got one can comment? I've heard the fit is perfect but how easy is it to remove from as it has no pull tab?
Also it has cut outs for speaker, mic etc so.can the phone be used it inside the pouch

There is yes, I can link to where I bought mine from can't find it on the Samsung site though. It's not a bad price (£15), and official, the fit is tight apparently but frees up a bit once used for a week.

It's very slim but also is a very tight fitting. I've been using it for a couple of weeks and it's still just a little too tight. An extra millimetre would have made a world of difference!
I hate the alternative pouches with the pull up tab, IMHO it makes them look cheap and bulks out your pocket.

How hard is it to remove out of the pouch, as there's no pull tab how is it removed, especially when the phone rings?
I would hope it would free up after use a bit, can you not put something similar size in to stretch a little?
It has a cut out for the speaker I notice so can you hear it ringing (and vibrating), inside the pouch and pocket?
Also there's no cut out for the LED, I was thinking out putting one in, would this be helpful do you think?

Just use finger and thumb in the centre of the phone.

I have tried an old larger phone in the pouch but it made little difference, it is getting easier the more I use it.

This thing is thighter than a virgin. You guys have been using it for more than a year now, did it got any looser?
