I didn't get my case, yet but I have search results based on Google.

They're expensive, but Vaja has one small leather case out already, and I'm sure they'll design more with the relative similarity between carrier devices, and the number of buyers across the world.
The first one they've come up with is $70, which sounds really high, but I can tell you from experience that these things are inSANEly well-made. They're probably hand-stitched by one 85 year-old lady in Venezuela, but their cases are awesome.
Cheaper one

I can't post URLs yet, but I got a leather carrying case on Amazon for about $6.
I got this one. I love it because vertical position is a must and also the clip can rotate. It does leave some black marks on the back of the phone but nothing is perfect
The $5 & $10 cases on ebay /amazon are not real leather.
I am also interested in some real leather options. A search showed "hoco" as an option, they look pretty slim too.

I've had an Easecase (a different model from the one the OP ordered - I think mine is a B1) for my HD2, S2 and now S3. They're really well made, fit perfectly and you get a choice of leather, lining colour, closure system etc, I do look at other ones available but in the end I always end up getting their stuff

Seconded! I don't have one for my S3 (yet), but I've been considering the Grip or the Pouch they have on their site.
I've bought their cases for past phones and not only do they look great, but they're very durable. The price-point is a little painful, but well-worth it in my book.
Might as well ask this here. But do any of you guys (yea guys on this one) carry around a wallet case? I was gonna get a SGP Valentinus black for my SGS3 but I got to thinking, maybe it seems a little feminine. I wanted one cuz it would mean for me to not carry a wallet around. I wanted either the Valentinus or the Argos. What you guys think

You can use Capdase leather case. Maybe some of them got wallet design. But recently, they use a frame to hold the phone and neglect those wallet layer. Sigh........

I saw some decent kickstand cases for the SGS2 with AT&T, but I have not been able to find any yet with the TMO version. Please let me know if you find any out there specially made for the TMO SGS2!
I'm having major kickstand withdrawals since upgrading from my EVO 4G.
Oh and I'm looking for a landscape kickstand, not the portrait kickstand found on the Body Glove case in the TMO stores.
Same here, would love some kickstand

Thank you for the pictures. Can you post one of the front of the case? I want to see how much of the bezel it covers and if it gets close to the edges of the screen.
The only thing i dont like about it is that the top and bottom arent covered.
The inside has a felt material to protect the phone from the case.

I tried it on my phone and it felt incredibly cheap, tacky color/design, and lack of real protection. If it fits your needs then awesome. For me I am kinda rough on things and like protection all around. I can appreciate the usefulness of a kickstand.
I also would like a little more protection. It seems like most of the kickstand cases are hard plastic, but I at least want a gel/silicone insert something like the otterbox commuter often has.
Hopefully they start actually releasing some good cases for this phone soon.

That is a good deal alright, but that case isn't for the T-Mobile version. Those are still listed as 'coming soon' on the Case Mate site.
lol...that i didn't know..guess can't get it for cheap yet.
Casemate is still taking forever to get their T-Mobile cases out, even after some rumors that they were coming a couple weeks ago. http://www.case-mate.com/pulse/samsung-carriers.asp . Looks like if it does come out, they will be asking $35.00 (same as Sprint and International price).
Trident said they were going to do their Kraken kickstand case for the TMO SGS2, but then when it came time to ship cases, they ended up only shipping the Aegis case (no kickstand) (http://www.tridenteer.com/categories/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-(T%2dMobile)/ - $29.95).
But it does look like Seidio has finally shipped a kickstand case, http://www.seidioonline.com/t-mobile-samsung-galaxy-s-II-active-case-black-p/csk3ssg2tk-bk.htm . There is a review for the case here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336684 . Priced at $34.95. There is a 15% off promo code for this case, "Winter11".

I've placed my order for the Sapphire and Amethyst ACTIVE cases from Seidio. There is one review in the linked thread with pictures and then only one other user who made some general comments.
There are no reviews yet on Amazon, but the cases are listed there for the same price (no promo code). Amazon has the black in stock and the others shipping in 2-3 weeks.
I have the Seidio Active, switching from Ballistic. There is a big difference in feeling, mostly due to the Ballistic being so big and harder to press the buttons. I needed something with a belt clip, and I've gone with the Active series for my last 2 phones (HTC Sensation, LG G2x). It's a great combo all in all.

I couldn't keep waiting, so I got the Seidio Active case and I'm quite happy with it.
Hello everyone.
I've been looking at cases and know there are alternatives, but having owned an Otterbox, its the only one I choose to use for a smartphone.
There is no case made at present for the T989 BUT I spoke with a rep today and he was more than happy to add my request to the production database. He said "We make cases for everyother variant so I don't know why we wouldn't make one for this one, but the dimensions are a bit different from the skyrocket so that won't work" etc.
There was absolutly zero wait time to talk to someone, so if you've been wanting an Otterbox case for our T989 I implore you to give Otterbox a call at 855-688-7269 and at the prompt select technical questions and add your suggestion to show that customers are interested and they need to get the ball rolling already for our version!
EDIT: Perhaps this would be better suited in accessories? I dunno.

The SEIDO case is very comparable to the Otterbox commuter series. Went from BB Bold 9780 to the T989 and am happy with the SEIDO.
I have also being waiting for an otterbox case for this device. Otterbox cases saved my previous iphones from several falls and other accidents.
I will have to look into the SEIDO cases. I've never heard of them.

May consider Ballistic or Trident Aegis. I ordered both and end up keeping Ballistic. I felt the extra thick corners on the Ballistic made a better protection if dropped.

Thank you for the response. As per your advice, I took a look at the Seido active case. I can see some places where my Otterbox was superior, namely in integrated plugs for all the connectors AKA ways for water to ingress into the system. See image below!
Moisture ingress is my MAIN concern. I've dropped my Otterboxed blackberry into a locomotive engines oil/coolant pit and it survived no problem.

The Aegis has piqued my interest, thanks!
However, I did notice that the 'dust cover' for the mini-usb whatchamacallit doesn't actually INSERT into the plug like an otterbox's would.. it could do until then.

Yes, definitely.
Thread moved.
I have the sedieo and have dropped it numerous times without a single scratch.
Dropped mine a couple times. I was more worried about having it sitting on my toolbox and dropping a wrench on it but with the seidio active and holster combo my worries are gone.

Like I said, more worried about moisture ingress and the otterbox is just sleeker and doesn't increase the size as much.
i have the ballic case cant even try otterbox cant find the one for t989 dont like how its 2 parts botton rubber moves alot
I highly recommend this case: TPU Rubber Skin Case for T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989, Black S Shape (it is made by EFORCITY and can be found on Newegg... I'm too new here to post links: sorry)
I can safely say that it is BY FAR the best case for its price. The TPU rubber gives it great rigidity over any silicone case, and it doesn't add any additional weight compared to some of the snap-on cases. The profile is really thin, and I really like the grips on the side of the phone. I have dropped my phone several times, once going down a mountain bike trail at 20+mph... my phone shows no scratches or signs of wear... enough said
Trident cases are really good too

Hmm, intruiging. I had an Otterbox case for my Vibrant and I really liked it. Well thought out and it was especially nice to have easily slide in and out of pockets.
Anyway, I thought I might share what I just bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Samsung...ccessories&hash=item416695ab2f#ht_2241wt_1396 It appears to me to be a bit more of an 'off-brand' (and by that, I mean it is not a 'name-brand' by any stretch of the imagination) but it was a decent price-I paid $6.49 USD.
I do not mean to disrespect your "Otterbox" specific thread, merely throwing out an alternative that others may find useful. Credit due where its due, XDA user Synergery52 has a great little review and very helpful photos here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647832 (In case anyone hasn't already seen it.)

I have this case in all clear. All the holes line up correctly as long as you put it on right. The only issue I have with it is the kickstand rubs on the back of the phone when you open it and may eventually leave small marks if used enough.
I ordered the same case in black without the kickstand and I am going to put my FlyGrip back on it. This thing is awesome as long as you don't mind the extra thickness.

I tried out a Body Glove case at an at&t store and it feels way better than the case I mentioned above. I finally put my Flygrip on it today. It's a bit expensive, but it makes the phone more comfortable and you really can't tell the difference in your pocket. It also helps keep the speaker off wherever you placed your phone so it doesn't dampen your notifications / ringtones.
I just got my cheapo TPU kickstand case
(http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-Plastic...ccessories&hash=item4845f27e73#ht_3661wt_1396)
It's actually pretty nice so far! The matte pieces are harder plastic, and the clear parts are softer TPU. I was a little worried that the sides would be uncomfortable to hold, but the texture is fairly dull so they don't poke your fingers.
The big draw for me was the kickstand, which is mostly ok. It works, in that it flips out. I do have two concerns though... (1) as you can see, there's no other layer underneath, so when it's open that part of the back case is exposed. This isn't a big problem except I expect it to trap a bit of lint and stuff. Then, (2) hopefully there is enough clearance for it to open that it's not rubbing on the phone all the time. It's also a little hard to get a fingernail in there to open it, but not horrible. It's hard to complain too badly for $7.50, including a screen protector, a neat little stylus (which is actually pretty great, probably the best touchscreen stylus I've used so far), and an entertaining Engrish manual.
Disclaimer: Fitment review is TBD, however, it fits my new cardboard GS3 pretty well (pictured) Now, I just need my real one! I also got the clear version to show off my pebble blue, as opposed to the pictured "white" model.
Edit: I should also note that I got some of those XtremeGuard body skins that were on sale and plan to put them on as well. So, hopefully that will protect the back case against possible wear from the kickstand, as well as mitigating the issue with that section of the case being "open".

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
here is the case i bought on ebay.
So I'm browsing through the electronics section at Wal-Mart looking for a wireless mouse and I happen to stumble upon a new case for our phone. At first I'm thinking, "Oh, so now we have an Otterbox Defender!" Then I look at the box and it's a Body Glove!
I looked online for this case, but cannot even find it on the Body Glove website. I took a few pictures of it. It looks pretty good. It's a little bulky, but not too much. Very sturdy. The case is three parts - two for the inner hard plastic and one for the outer rubber-like shell. It's much easier to install than the Otterbox cases, but really feels just as protective - for less as well (paid less than $40). I said "Defender-like", so yes it comes with a holster - and it's almost identical to the Defender holsters.
Have any of you guys seen this case in any local stores? It feels like a pretty good one.
I haven't seen one in stores yet...because i have not been looking for one. I will see if i can find it...

Apparently this is very new. Military tested specs, and it feels and looks much better than the Otterbox. I'm using a Thunderbolt for work with the Otterbox Defender. They look similar from a distance, but the look and feel in your hands is not even close. They also had one for the GS3. After several days of use, this has to be the best looking, best feeling, sleekest (relatively speaking, of course) heavy duty shock resistant case I've owned (and I've owned quite a few over the years).

Got this today and just luving it. Had the Body Glove Diamond white case before and it was a good quality but the Tough Suit case is perfect. Not too thick, built like a tank, this is the new batmobile from Christian Bale's Batman Trilogy if the other thin and slick cases are the stealthy slick batmobiles from the past xD
How are the buttons? Are they nice and tactile or stiff and mushy? That's what's bugging me about the D30 Impact case. The buttons are way too stiff and mushy (and before someone says I should hit the gym, I'm no chump. I can press them just fine, it's just annoying).
Just ordered one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-Whi...727&pid=100015&prg=1006&rk=1&sd=290717667572& I think I'll review it once I get it.

I'm using this case as well and it fits perfectly and adds the exact amount of weight and size to it. Only thing was I got ripped off haha I think I paid 20 something for it and saw it on amazon for less than half of that. But I needed a case asap.

My co-worker has one of these on his black T989, he's happy with it, however I don't believe he's ever really dropped it so no drop-test experience with it. Oh, and those cases were also being sold at the T-Mobile store, for $29.95 label, no discount for clearing stock.

they look pretty beefy compared to mine and when i dropped mine it was fine the only thing that looks off in the pictures is that it doesnt look completely snug.

say whaaaaat?! hahaha! I didnt even notice :silly:
Got my Body Glove Diamond case a week ago and reviewed it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004609
I also bought the black body glove case at Walmart and after 24 hours I'm loving it. The only gripe I had was the built in screen protector. I have zagg so I took a razor knife and cut it out. Couldn't ask for a better case.
I want one of these cases, but I can't find it anywhere.
Love my seidio active case and holster. Better than my old phones otterbox!
Just saying!
So what do you guys think? Has anyone seen one yet? I know its a bit pricey, but i really liked the bumper on the N4 and think google/lg nailed it. I am considering buying this one, but the black is not available. Does anyone know if it just sold out really quickly or if only the gray was available at launch?

yeah i thought that was strange too, as the n4 bumper was actually a bumper and this is clearly a full case.
I think they are over priced personally.

Shows £24.99 and "coming soon" in the UK. FFS Google why can't you get the accessories to us in good time. The UK didn't even get the wireless charge dock in the end.
Can someone confirm this is actually available to buy in the US?
I wasnt a huge fan of the oem bumper for the n4, only due to the fact that it left part of the metal ring visible on the top and bottom of the front of the phone. It didn't quite look like it fit correctly.
I did however love the poetic bumper, it fit perfectly, it was a bit thinner, and matched the phone almost as if there was no case at all.
Amazon already has the poetic up for pre order and shipping date of November 19 I believe. I've got one on order, and will post pictures when it arrives.

I really like the look of the official cases especially with the nexus logo intact. I'm part of the minority and like the thinnest case possible like the rearth slim or spigen ultra fit. This official case looks like a nice compromise between the "super thin barely any protection" cases and the thicker "add too much bulk more protective" cases. Definitely pricey though.
I've had the spigen neo and was very disappointed. El cheapo imo. Rearth Ringke has been my favorite cases so far

No way I would buy that.
The image for the black bumper uses a GNex and does not really show anything about the bumper.
The image for the white bumper uses a Nexus 5 render without the bumper on it.
The description says it is for all carriers, including Verizon, on which the N5 does not work.
It would have been great to get an actual bumper case like the Nexus 4 had but I think I'll still get the official "bumper" for the Nexus 5. I'm a sucker for OEM fit and finish as well as I like how it still displays the NEXUS logo on the back.
The price is ridiculous though. I hope the carriers offer it in store when they launch the phone so I don't have to get ripped off with shipping as well.

I think it's difficult to make a true bumper for the Nexus 5 because the back is curved. Nexus 4, iPhone... Those are phones with flat backs. Regardless, I think the case looks nice, but is a bit pricy.

the official "bumper" case is expensive. but i'm guessing the "nexus" branding is what makes it worth it to a lot of people.
if you cover up your phone with any other case it just looks like any other phone and not like a beastly nexus. but now your vanity can be satisfied with a case that clearly states for all to see... NEXUS.

wished google made official one like that but in RED!
The official bumper looks quite appealing, and it looks like it extends past the camera. My only concern is the buttons. In-house cases that the phone company comes out with are notorious for having hard button covers. Guess we'll just wait for video reviews on that.
