Wrappers UK Alcantara Sleeve - Galaxy S III Accessories

The S3 will be my first android phone worth putting a case on. My MOTO DX2 is a beast and never needed one.
I dont like cases on my electronics. Ive had good luck for many years though. Never broken a screen on a smartphne.
Since I dont like cases I saw these sleeves and had to have one. They are the same material as maserati and porsche interiors. As a car junkie i couldnt pass.
Ordered one in grey for my white S3. It should be a cool look.
anyone had experience with these? or sleeves in general? Like? Dislike?

Its a piece of cloth sewn together for over $30. Thats the way I see it. I dont see how its any more or less functional than the $10 ones on ebay.
But I'm not saying they are bad, just saying I wouldnt get one!

yeah, its whatever though! everyones different
have you ever used a sleeve before vs a case, wonder?

My first reaction was "wow" - these are really good looking and convenient in size,shape and Xperience - it's rather expensive but Ive never seen so good looking items for X1 - hm..gonna consider having one of them some day
These cases look like an i-volution type case Vaja makes...which is of uber high quality. The price may seem high, but to assure that my baby is protected, paying a little more for peace of mind is well worth it.
However, I probably won't be ordering one as a I have a Noreve case coming my way shortly
makes it so much fatter..
not that expensive at all ! its $38 (well expensive compared to those $5 ones) Im trying to get a Louis Vuitton case for my Xperia X1. (they Got iPhone ones, should fit) but their about $200+ on ebay. so I gotta wait to see if there are any cheaper ones.

It looks ugly compared to the illuzion cases. Man, the people who bid for that are bidding for the name, and not the style. Seriously that does not look nice. The texture feels great in hand but it would have been better if it was printed/imprinted with a different pattern and style.
I'd rather go for an illuzion (with a white color).

Epik Gel Case for MT4G

I bought one of these for my MyTouch3G last year, and thought it was the BEST case I've ever had for a phone. I'm desperately wanting one for my MT4G, but haven't found one anywhere online yet. Anyone know where we can get these? I bought mine on eBay for $4.99 and free shipping from Hong Kong, and I got it in less than 2 weeks.
Here's a link to a current eBay auction for the MT3G version so you can see what I'm talking about...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...0&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123#ht_5478wt_876
I agree, those are the best cases I've used. Had one for my original MyTouch and loved it. Hopefully they will get in gear and make them for the 4G now.
That's like the TPU cases others have mentioned, and been on the lookout for on eBay.
I like how they're flexible, but not plain silicon, and maintain the profile of the phone as much as possible.
I gotta pick up something pretty soon. I'd consider just a Phantom Skinz, but with a 3 year old who loves Angry Birds running around the house I need something that offers some drop protection.

i had been looking for these aswell. i bought one for my curve last yr from this guy. clicked this post in hopes to find that you had found them lol. i sent the seller an email asking about these for the 4g. ill check back in if/when he responds
How well does that case absorb a shock if the phone is dropped? I really like how its molded really well to the body-lines of the phone and doesnt look thick. Let us know asap when you do find out if they sell them yet! Thanks!

Dear cw54o,
we will be getting these shortly in the next 1-2
weeks
- dcmugen88
That's awesome news about him getting these cases in the next 1-2 weeks. I'm on my second T-Mo case, and I really haven't been too thrilled with them. Way too much money IMO for cases like these, and I'm considering returning/exchanging my newest one (soft rubber sleeve with white plastic backing) because the rubber attracts WAY TOO much dust.
These cases are STILL not available anywhere yet. Total BS!

yeah i knw, i just checked his ebay store and nothing
There's Epik cases on eBay for the HTC HD7, didn't that come out the same day or about the same timeframe as our MT4G? If so, why hasn't there been an Epik case made yet for our phone?
i have no clue, but on a side note tmble has these type of cases at their stores. im tempted to get 2 of them. they have a sale going on 2accessories will land u 20% off and 3 will get u 30% off, but their 20 a peice....
T-Mobile does not carry the Epik branded cases at their stores. They don't have any cases that even come close to the Epik brand.

they arent 'epik' cases BUT they are TPU cases, which is exactly what the epik cases are. they have them for several phones including the mytouch 4g. if i go back ill take a pic and show you. if it werent for the price difference i would have gotten it. but yeah im pretty sure a youtube search would confirm it.
DCMugen88 posted black and clear cases today. I got black
awww daewond3r beat me too it i was too busy trying to figure out if i wanted clear or smoke blk and put in my order to post the link lol but here u go to those who are looking for it

Thanks for the link. Ill be ordering a few. Great prices! i was close to ordering some case on amazon for 24.99 + shipping.
Sucks that these won't be arriving until after xmas though.
Nice! Do you think the epik cases will still fit if you have the CF Chromatics on? My little girl puts a beating on my phone while playing with talking Tom . Ordered anyway, you cant go wrong with the price! Thanks for the heads up fellas!

Are these the bendable gel cases they had for the MT3G? It doesn't really specify that anywhere on his auctions, and the pictures make it look more like a hard plastic or hard gel/plastic case.

Anyone know of a case that looks like this?

I think out of the leather cases this is by far my favorite.. but $129?? I guess it's worth it to protect a $600 device right? What I like about it is it doesnt look cheap and it doesnt seem to add too much bulk to the device

Anyone see something similar?
There are sooooo few cases out right now. Not a big fan of the any with the exception of this one. There is a leather Motorolla Portfolio, but hard to find pics of it...and that get's mixed reviews.
I did pre-order the piel frama case...and was told it will not be "released until Mid April". I guess until then we won't have any new pics of what it really looks like.

From what I read about other cases they have made they really seem top notch. I read the leather is hand done etc.. I'm trying to find out if I can find a coupon code for cases.com to get it a little cheaper.
With all the other cases out there so far, I find one thing I like in one but really dislike another thing about it. That goes for pretty much every other case I have looked at..The only thing I dont really like is the price tag. lol But I think I can live with that more than a case that I'm 90% happy with. It looks well made and it has a simple classy look to it. I think I might go for it.
ok, they did offer me a 10% discount.. I'm still debating if I'm going to fork over that kind of cash for a case. Just in case the coupon code is a one time deal I will not post it yet. I will post it after I either decide to purchase it or not then I will post it here. I just dont want to post it while I'm deciding someone else use it and if it is a one time deal and I decide to get it I'm screwed lol
10% That's not bad! I heard Vaja may be coming out with a case too, but no clue on what it looks like or price.
If you hold off, I'll post some pics, but who knows when this will be here....can't rush quality
I'm using a moto silicon case with a skinomi shield....works okay, but want a portfolio case.
No experience of the Xoom case but I have used a Piel Frama with my HTC Blackstone for about two years. Still looks new and smells of cow.
Well made, quality leather, hence the price tag.

They told me it would be shipping in the middle or late April. I really like that case but not sure I want to spend that much for a case.. decisions decisions lol
I bought the stock motorola portfolio case for $40 bucks and it works perfectly. We're android users not iPad socialites... please don't spend $129 bucks on a case...
My case gives me decent viewing angles without breaking the bank.
Save that money and purchase some great apps for your device instead (just my opinion)

You can definitely see a difference in the pics of the quality of the leather though. The Kevikev case's leather kind of looks cheap in my opinion if you look at the red picture up close it almost looks like pleather.
You're right about the red one

[REVIEW] Cruzer Lite Personas of Andy Case

After getting the Androidfied A2's from Cruzer lite, I didnt think they could top themselves. I was wrong. When I heard about the new cases and saw them, I just couldnt wait. Here is a little review about this series.
The feel of them is different than the A2's but not in a bad way. Feels smooth and higher end, but still TPU. Its not slippery at all. Also, feels just a tiny bit thinner but I know its prob just me excited about the new cases. Also, I noticed new packaging. Thats even better too, lol
The cutouts are still perfect from the A2's. Seems they changed it just a lil bit to help with people with big headphone jacks. I dont use any, so I couldnt test. Unless someone wants to send me a nice pair of headphones
This is their designer series and they are sick. I loved the Androidfied A2's Andy on the back, but these are just so much more, "I LOVE ANDROID" user. Which I do love Android, lol. Its going to be hard to get all of these series as they have so many to chose from
Overall, this is just a tiny bit better than the A2 series. Its very close though. I think what makes it stand out as the winner is cuz of the designs and the feel of the new ones. It is WELL worth the $15 for the case. I think that is why I keep going back to Cruzer lite is because he doesnt over charge for his cases when he knows he could. Thanks again.
Click here for the new series
Pics attached
I ended up getting in on the buy one get a random case free deal and got the Assembling Andy and The Rorschach cases for $15 with free shipping! Great deal because these cases are sweet.
They fit perfectly with or without extended battery. All the cutouts are fine. Usb and headphone jacks fit fine.
The feel is smooth and goes in and out of pocket easily.
Not sure what else to say. They're great and worth it even at full price.

I know where I am stopping to get some new threads. Thanks for the heads up.
I have the Original and the A2's. IMHO i don't like these. With a motive printed on the case looks cheap, plus $15 imho is steep. I like unicolor,simple cases. Maybe a good looking 2 tone, but a motive is really hmm... i don't know for me.
Even a TPU rainbow case a la A2's will cut it for me. But there's something about adding it a printed motive in the TPU i dont dig :s

I have the original and A2's as well. I can see what you mean, but I like showing off my phone and these cases just do it so much more. The price, if you think about it isnt that bad at all. You see others charging 20-30$ for something like this. But that is just my 2 cents on it. I rushed out and bought all the colors I liked for the A2's and I think with these, I might get 1 or 2 more. But I like how cruzer lite keeps coming out with new designs. I have OCD and cant keep the same case on for more than a few days, so his designs help my problem, lol.

I can respect this opinion but just wanted to let people know that in person these cases don't look or feel cheap in the slightest. They are really high quality and, at least with the two that I got, they look great.
I haven't been able to take off the Rorschach case yet... something about the white case on the Gnex just looks awesome to me. The Assembling Andy case hasn't gotten hardly any play yet.

Rock cases for the nexus?

was browsing the internet earlier looking for a new case for the phone and came across this website. The cases look to be in good shape and if you can forgive all the typos (obviously from China) it sounds like they are decent quality. Has anyone used one before? I bought it off a third party unfortunately, so I don't know yet if I made a good decision but it was only twenty bucks so if it falls through i'm not out much. What do you think? http://rockphone.cn/en/products_det...5&id=1013&year=0&month=0&pmenuid=0&pbrandid=0

well, true. I didn't purchase this particular case it was a book-flip case like the SGIII has. Still not sure if it was a good idea but oh well.

I like the second Flip Book style much more, also much nicer colors.
Not my type of case i dont see the point of having a flap in the way all the time. But thats just me!
