[Q] Fortte Cases, anyone get one?

http://www.fortte.com/scr/showcategory3.php/407
Curious if anyone has purchased any of these, particularly the Book Model. I'm thinking of purchasing one...

wow, you would really put your phone in that little fanny pack book bag?

Please don't...please

Im not sure why people who dont own (or apparently like) this holder are posting in this thread. He specifically asked for people who have bought it to chime in, not for snide remarks about it's fashionability. Cmon, guys. We can do better than that around here.

Wow, I'm really surprised you guys are dissing on this. This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I still may buy an otterbox, but what's wrong with these? I dropped my Captivate in DC and shattered the screen. Just got it back from Samsung and am all about protecting it. This seems like really good protection for dropping while most wrap-around cases don't even advertise as protecting from drops.
These cases look pretty sharp and will obviously protect from a drop. I've currently got a body glove that my phone slides into, I can't for the life of me find a pic of it online oddly, but it's sortof like these full close systems but it has a window. It's actually not bad at all but it's just slightly too short. The top left and right ends of the phone are unprotected so I have to find a better alternative.
Those of you that don't like these options, what is it that you don't like? They're essentially pda flip cases aren't they?

This is why I don't like it. How many years has it been since we carried Handspring PDAs? Things like PDA filp cases are really antiquated in my opinion, and having a case like that to carry your cell phone in just looks funny. Everyone has moved to silicon/TPU cell phone skins that are minimally intrusive, and these cases are the opposite.

But... isn't this essentially a pda? It's a mini-tablet/bar-smartphone. I don't get how it's antiqued at all. Who cares how it looks to other people? Obviously you're welcome to your opinion and I'm entirely curious as to why you think it looks funny.
The more modern skins don't look or even advertise as protecting against drops. So I'm curious if you at least think this will protect against that.

Considering most TPU/silicone cases look like they came out of Hot Topic, leather cases don't look like a bad idea sometimes.
Also, the open-face style leather cases like this ( http://www.fortte.com/scr/showproduct.php/1411?type=0 ) aren't any more intrusive than a silicone/TPU case. In fact, it's just as soft yet far more secure than a silicone case (and cushions more than a TPU case).

I was actually looking at something similar from PDair:

http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_10000000_11001013&products_id=31138
It's a little cheaper and personally I think it looks a little better and a little higher quality. I could be wrong. Plus it holds credit/business cards.

looking at the open face* what are we in the 1990s? This looks like the case for the old motorola L7's lol

The vertical pouch looks decent enough. If it has a belt clip it would be pretty useful.
The other ones look like utter crap.

Have you seen these? They make phone calls and "fit" in your pocket!

But seriously, we are trying to keep you from looking like a douchebag with your flip open folio-style leather phone case.

Just ordered the Thin Pocket case. My plan is to pocket the phone in the case - we'll see how it goes.
I'll write a short review when I receive it, but that won't be for 3-4 weeks since I ordered a customization.

Ironic you should mention old things not comfortably fitting considering that most suggests for cases here don't comfortably fit in my pocket, including all Otterboxes, which look and feel like you're carrying an 80's era device due to its ridiculous mass, (not unlike the phone in your picture).
I went with a Seidio TPU case, and I just look SO STYLISH AND MODERN with opaque argyle, it totally doesn't look like an accessory to guys who wear cardigans from the metrosexual craze a decade ago.
The guy asked for advice on the case, not fashion tips from people who think cases that look like a Hot Topic accessory are fashionable.

I can not comment on a Book type case specifically, but I have used Vertical Pouch for my Touch Pro 2 and I can comment on quality of Fortte cases - they are very well made, look very good, fit very nicely, and I have gotten a few compliments on that case. I had the one with no clip (flat back). Their quality is comparable to Piel Frama or Sena but the cost is less.

I don't ever recall recommending any case, much less an argyle case, or a case that looks like a "Hot Topic accessory"...
But, never the less...

I just got my fortte vertical pouch in the mail today.
I have to say, its well made. The inside lining has a built in pad that cushions the touch screen (see pic below). The size is roughly double the thickness of the phone itself.
It's a little big in my pant pocket, but I like to wear fitted jeans and dress pants for work. My custom case doesn't have a clip as I like to keep things in my pocket.
The phone still moves in the pouch a bit, but the upper flap keeps it secure.
With my captivate in the pouch, I felt safe enough to drop it from about 5 feet off the ground onto the office carpeted floor.
Phone survived!
My case is buck brown, with the gold crest.
It seems I can't post images since I'm a new member... I'll try again from home in 6 hours.
Uploaded pics, sorry for the quality, lol used the captivate camera.. i forgot to balance the settings.

Ballistic Cases for Atrix!

Came across these by accident. I LOVE THEM! I was looking at the cases available for the Infuse, and found this odd brand by the name of Ballistic making a case for it. I became jealous and Googled them. Google took me to their website which I discovered, OUR PHONE is supported!
Here's the link (they are $35 & $50 for the one on the right): http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/motorola-atrix-ballistic-sg-series-case

These are great if you have a UHaul to carry your phone around in after you have encased it in this thing!

The second one from the right...
It looks like it would suck to wake the phone up or use the fingerprint sensor.

Just emailed them to let me know when they are available. I have the otterbox defender and while I usually recommend them, the one for the atrix has issues. I'm on my second outer silicone part, and this one doesn't fit right either. The bottom corners bulge away from the inner plastic part, which makes them come off pretty easy.

x2

The cases happen to be made right here in Fort Lauderdale on the other side of town. I may go get one on Monday. I have the Commuter case which I like, especially since the ports and earphone jack have covers to keep out dust and dirt and the case is easy to get on and off. I dunno if the ballistic has covers and there are no pictures of the front i can find but the design and colors look nice and I am sure the protection is good. Anyone get one yet?

Damn that thing looks thicker then my otterbox defender case. I like the color schemes though. Does it come with a holster? I have to use the holster with my defender case, just to hard putting it in my pocket.

Let us know if you get one. I definitely want one! Black on black is my choice, but the red/black looks pretty cool too.

Awesome!

Got my Ballistic SG
Well I recieved my Ballistic SG in the mail today, got it off ebay for $22 bucks! I haven't bought a lot of cases for my Atrix yet, I tried a Otterbox Impact on launch day and was disappointed with that. This case however feels extremely tough, My brother has the Otterbox Commuter, which i thought was awesome untill this one showed up. It feels very solid, The ports on the side are left exposed, as well as the speaker grill. The space for the fingerprint sensor does feel a slight bit cramped when swiping downwards, I may have to re-enter my prints to get it to read more accurately, but for now it doesn't seem to affect it too much. I've only had it for about 30 minutes but so far i'm impressed. The case doesn't slide around on the phone (though that may be in part to my invisible shield). The rubber/silicone layer does attract dust, but overall I'm happy with my purchase. I attached a few pictures if anyone's interested.

Not a bad looking case ya got there... is it rubber or plastic or both?
Edit: so the grey is rubber, red is plastic?
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is. This post might have errors as I hate touchscreen keyboards.

Yeah, the black part is rubber, the red is plastic, with a weird layer of black, that feels like slightly rubberized plastic. After using it for a few hours now I'm still satisfied with it. Definitely feels more solid than my brothers commuter case. Now to wait for the HC to be released and try that sucker out.

Dude, that's freaking sweet looking. Can't wait for the HC cases to be released.

Can you please drop your phone from the second or third floor while it's in the case and if nothing happens can you drop it without a case? I just want to check how though is the case before investing in it.

epic !

I like it! May replace my Commuter, even though I couldnt be happier with the OB.

covered ports
I did not buy this case (yet). It looks really similar to the Commuter case as the designs are the same///a soft rubber held on with a hard plastic. However, the ports are not covered on this one. On the commuter both ports are covered in addition to the earphone jack. Someone here reported dust on the inside of the screen and it may have entered thru the earphone jack? On my wish list is a case with a built in stand.

[Review] Acase Leather Ez Folio Case

So the initial reason why I decided on the galaxy tab was because of its incredibly thin profile and light design.
I searched for days picking apart cases so I could keep that thin, light profile.
Well I think we found a winner folks. Its the Acase Ez Leather Folio Case.
It has an excellent feel to it, holding the tablet very tightly inside. It has those nifty magnetic flaps to keep it shut when needed. It has all of the ports cut out properly, including speakers, and the build quality is top notch.
It really has the two best viewing angles you could ask for. Perfect for typing, perfect for watching movies.
When you fold back its flap, it keeps the tablet thin and easy to view in landscape.
I guess my only 2 gripes is there not being a cut out for the charger when the flap is closed. But that seems to be very common among all folio cases. I guess they are trying to keep the dust out. Not a big deal for me as I am pretty good with a ruler and an exacto knife.
My other gripe is the bowing of the edges around the rim of the glass. It doesnt lay completely flat or flush. Although I will say its extremely stiff and probably the best I've seen in comparison. Alot of the other folio cases use a super thin and flapity leather or vinyl and, not only does it look cheap its very loose. This one is definitely an improvement over those. Its tight and uses a very thick, high quality leather, best I've seen.
If your looking for a high quality leather folio case that will keep your tablet thin & light without breaking the bank, then I recommended you go pick this one up on Amazon for $30 Shipped.
Dont forget to hit thanks if this post helped you!!

Looks very functional and thin but I am not loving the contrast white stitching.
I can't decide if I want to put full Ghost Armor on my GT or go for one of these type of cases. I would have loved the knock off Apple smart case, hopefully Samsung will approve that one soon. Screw crapple.

Personally, I love the white stitching. It matches my wallet and shoes! Haha.
Comparing it to all other folio cases, at least this one is unique with its own bit of personality and style. Searching through tons of cases, I was tired of seeing the same boaring straight black cases. I guess to each his own, but I like it cause it stands out.

Thanks for this! I was about to pull the trigger on the official Samsung case, but then I figured I'd take another quick look at the forums to see if I missed anything. I looked at your post and immediately changed my mind. I was looking for something that didn't add much bulk to the device, but would protect it fairly well. This looks pretty stylish to boot.
Also got a 3 pack of the same company's screen protectors for the Tab for 20 percent off with purchase of this case on Amazon. Ordering the case and the protectors, with next day shipping on Prime was 48 dollars, still about 20 dollars less than the Samsung case. Thank you SO much!

I like the case, just not the stitching, just my opinion.
The problem with getting such a brand new device is there not being anough quality choices in cases. Happens to me a lot because I unfortunately like to be an early adopter. I have spent so much money on Blackberry cases because I changed berries so damn often. Same happene with my Evo, bought a Golla pouch that I thought I would really like and then ended up not liking it so I got something else.
I may just do a full Ghost Armor for now until I find the ideal case, or just get the pasic slip in case for now.

I would have to agree on the stitching aspect. I like the case and would definitely buy it but I just think that doesn't sit with me for some reason. Thanks for the review.Nice to get one from a user aspect and not a company. Something I have been reading and searching for all day.

I love the look of this case. I am down to this case and the Melkco case. Tough decision to make.

Your welcome!

One of these days i will take a picture of my shoes and wallet and youll see what im talking about

This reminds me of the Yoobao executive folio case that I had for my iPad2. Have been looking for something like that and this is almost exactly like it.
Thx alot for the tip bro.

I received my Acase case today. It is a very sleek leather case that does not take away from it's attractiveness and yet its a great protective cover for my GT10.1. It is the best of both worlds.
Amazon Prime members can get it for a total of 24.95 landed.

Got mine and have been using it for about three weeks. I agree with the review overall. Unfortunately, the stitching on one of the corners is coming apart. I hope I can return it.

As long as you haven't poured something on the case or abused the case, you should be able to rightfully claim poor workmanship. No vendor wants to see bad reviews of their business on Amazon or on any message board.

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I think this deserves some bumpage.
I've been using the case for a few weeks now and I have one major complaint. Either the stitching is coming loose, or the leather is wearing down already. The leather tab that folds over the tablet to keep it in place does not stretch tightly anymore.
This means that when holding the tablet normally, since the bottom of the tablet rests on this flap, the tablet falls through the case quite a bit. Not only do the speakers get covered since it's not sitting right in the case anymore, but the entire thing is just annoying. Very hard to hit volume or power buttons, etc.
The Tab has not fallen completely out of the case....yet. But I can see that is where this is heading.
Funny thing is, I haven't even used the Tab all that much since getting the case. This case wore VERY quickly, and now I'm looking into other options. Don't think I can get my money back from Amazon at this point either
Anybody else with this case seeing this happen?

[Q] Leather Case with Belt Clip?

I have always used a Leather pouch with a belt clip (maybe I like the idea of a Batman utility belt...). I have found some really nice pocket cases but I have looked ever ware and can't find one that is basically a belt pouch.
I don't like a case around my phone because I think the Raw phone looks much sexier. I kinda feel like there is hundreds of thousands of dollars spent to make new phone the sexiest looking technology out there then we put them in a rubber/leather shell... just my view. The main reason is I keep my Wallet in one front pocket and my keys in the other...

Seeing as there has not even been one reply I'm starting to think there is none...

something like this? http://www.senacases.com/samsung-cases/galaxy-s-2/classic-flip/
Check the pics from the back

You could look for similar sized phones, iPhone 4 maybe?
I only have my phone here, so I can't really search for you, but I guess it's worth a try.
Good luck!

I have this one : http://pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_10000000_11001206&products_id=32475

How would one attach this to a belt. If it's not to tight you might make two cuts in it and slip your belt in it. But it's not too practical, beautiful, or safe. I'd look for a HTC Sensation one, or an Atrix one perhaps.
EDIT
Searching for galaxy s2 belt case gave me this and a few other hits.

Thanks, at least I know know there are some out there!
During the mean time I have been using a cheep rubber skin, and I have been finding that phone feels better in the hand if it's in a skin. So now I might be looking for a case that will fit the phone wile it's in a skin... might have to do some local shopping for that... Or something like the one "Flowlance" linked might work for me too.

Got one! I walked to every store and booth in my local mall (did you know your can buy things in the real world not just online! I didn't...) and there was almost none then I found the Indian Cell Booth... (that is not the name. There only ever Pakistani people working there...) and they had 1 witch I think is suppose to be for a PDA but it was freaking huge! witch means it was a good fit...
And I can use this one with my Skin still on the phone! So now if I drop it when using it, I'm safe. and if I'm not using the belt clip (because who likes to ware pants at home...) I'm still safe for laying it around! Here are the pics..

It says "Ultra" on is so that has to mean it's kewl... right?
Rotating Clip Seems strong, time will tell...
Magnetic flap.

I got my Galaxy S2 a couple of days ago and had the same problem. Having punted around online for a while I grabbed the case that my Touch HD was in, the one that originally came with my Tytn, and voila, it fits.

I have not got this * PDAir * horizontal belt clip, but I have the same make that I bought for my much loved HTC HD2. The SGS2 fits fine in that pouch, so I don't know if I'll get the one specifically for the SGS2.
My 18 month old HD2 looks like it just came out of the shop.

How about this!
Got this holster from the mail a few days back, nice fit with my Zenus Monochrom Case, so should fit the S2 with a normal TPU/silicone case.

PS
The Zenus case quality isnt top notch, theres a hairline crack appearing less than a month of usage.

Son of a *****! Well Time did tell, I haven't even had my case for 5 days and the clip broke! Sat in a chair with arms and the plastic clip (witch I though would have trouble) snapped off because the phone hit the chair arm... I looked all over town for that stupid case! and it was the only one no returns...
I'll have to see if I can modify it with a better clip. Or become one of those people that carry there wallet in there back pocket...

You might like the "Krusell Orbit Flex for Samsung Galaxy S II".
Oddly, the company's web site does not post any pictures, which is really a shame because it's a great case. Google for pictures! In short:
1. Rotating belt clip, which is also removable. You can take it out and still keep the phone in the case (in order to fit a shirt pocket, for example). The fitting for the clip can take other accessories (from the manufacturer) - check it out.
2. Removable front flap, so you can have it in your belt with only the back cover in place. With "soft" magnetic clip.
3. Cut-outs in all applicable places.
I bought it before my S2 (!) and been using it ever since.

What a pleasant information to hear, i also love that brown cow case but the seller was answer me it can not fit if the s2 was fit it with other case

Hello
Does somebody know for a vertical leather case with a belt clip for s2 which would fit case-mate tough case?
I bought one similar to this one www.ebay.com/itm/VB4-Leather-Belt-P..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3cb80c160c and it is just too small (phone with tough case goes inside but very tight and it is not possible to close it).
I was searching for infuse cases and found one that i like www.ebay.com/itm/Flip-Case-Samsung-...052944?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item25675ec0d0 . Would it fit S2 with tough case? Does somebody know if and where it's possibly to buy this in Europe?
Would you suggest any other leather belt case?

The Noreve is By far the nicest Belt Case I've seen but it's not cheap.

Get the case above with the metal clip below.

Pretty sure I'm getting one for mine. Just thinking about dropping nearly $100 on a case a bit first..

You could look for similar sized phones, iPhone 4 maybe?
I only have my phone here, so I can't really search for you, but I guess it's worth a try.
Good luck!

Try the Verizon Droid x (or x2) holster. That works very well with the SGS2. It may have some wiggle room to fit it with a case as well.

Seidio ACTIVE Case REVIEW

I received my Seidio ACTIVE case the other day so I figured I'd do a little review on it.
First and foremost, the case arrived in a little box, decently packaged and the item didn't have any damage. Since I live overseas ship times can be quite ridiculous, but the package arrived 9 days after placing the order (that's pretty fast for me, seriously)
As you can see, not a whole lot of packing material but it really wasn't needed. The SURFACE I accidentally ordered was in a little smaller inner box and there were enough packing peanuts to keep it secure.

Case back:
View of the kickstand extended:
The phone sits at approx a 45 degree angle when the kickstand is extended:
The phone does NOT sit flush on its back due to the kickstand. There's a slight gap and the back is raised just a little bit. Might drive some people crazy:
Front shot with the case on my S4A:

PROS:
1. If you've used one of these before you know what you're getting. The case fits pretty well and the back hold the silicone case on just fine.
2. The kickstand works ok, I wish it were in the middle of the back but for the most part it works fine. It does tip over if you touch the left side of the screen though, I don't see myself using this for anything more than viewing videos. The stand is held in place with a little magnet and it's spring-loaded, it pops out with a small bit of force (nothing crazy) and is held by the magnet just fine.
3. When faced down on a slick surface it doesn't slide around easily. The silicone holds it in place (might be a negative for some)
CONS:
1. I think Seidio made their silicone softer for some reason. I have an iFail 4 with one of the CONVERT cases and I was highly impressed with the quality of the silicone case (not the phone, but that's a different story/review). The silicone on that case just seemed to be a bit more 'firm', it did not slide off the sides/top nearly as easily as this case does. I also have a Nexus 7 with the ACTIVE case and I have the same complaint. I thought the smaller profile phone case would be better (since the Seidio cases for other tablets have the same complaints) but it's not. It comes off the top/bottom with barely any pressure. It goes right back into place of course, it doesn't come off the phone without removing the plastic back, but it's still annoying to me.
2. The kickstand does not work in portrait mode whatsoever. I personally don't care but I call it a con since I know quite a few people like to view in portrait mode.
The protection is there and I'm satisfied so far, much more than I was with a TPU case as far as protection/drop resistance goes, but the soft silicone annoys me a bit. I'm afraid that it'll stretch out like the Griffin case did on my wife's iPad 2 and sag after a few months. My wife also has a S4A, right now she has a Tudia Melody case and I was going to buy her one of these ACTIVE cases but I think I'll wait.
All in all I give it a 7/10. I'm just not confident in the silicone being so freakin soft and holding it's shape after a few months, especially for the $40 it cost me.
ETA Nov 26 2013: After a few weeks I have to downgrade my score to a 4/10. The power button is entirely too easy to press and hold while in my pocket, it's contently turning my screen on and it'll type in random pin codes OR hit the emergency contacts. If the power button is depressed for 10+ seconds it restarts the phone. Is been happening quite often while in the case and never while in my Supcase.
Also, while the silicone hasn't deformed or lost its shape the fact that the top and bottom slip off extremely easily bugs the crap out of me.
For an expensive 'rugged' case these flaws are extremely annoying, especially since the Supcase cost 10 bucks and does a better job. I really like the kick stand though!

Thanks for this detailed write up on the case! I too have one as well and I love it. I've always gone with the Active cases for all my phones, I love them. They always feel so solid and premium to me. As for the softness of the silicon, I don't think it will be an issue. I still have my S3 and it was always in an Active case as well, with lots and lots of use. I just compared the two and the softness seems identical to me. So I think it should hold up over time. It's definately my favorite case!

Good write-up! Thank you.
I've been wanting to get one of these cases, so this was timely running across your review.
Out of curiosity, how long have you had your Active case for the Nexus ? I've got one on mine that's probably 7 months old now, and I've noticed no "stretching" of the silicone liner, even with a lot of "on and off's" from my Nexus.
Maybe it's a variance between manufactured runs, but while I certainly wouldn't say that mine is "rigid", it's not really "soft" either.... in that I can't mar, or mark it with a fingernail or anything.
If it's the same for this case for the GS4A, then I'll be a happy camper.

I've only had the case on my Nexus since July and I haven't removed it at all. So far I'm impressed with it and I think it's a worthwhile case. It's a little overkill for what I use it for, a TPU case would probably work just fine, but I like the stand and the screen protection in case I need to throw it in a bag or something. As far as the review I might have been a little unclear about the N7 case... The silicon is less firm than the iPhone 4 case BUT after using it for the last couple months I think it'll be fine.
The S4A silicon is thinner and softer than the N7 case IMO. You know how the edges on our N7s comes off but you have to (more or less) consciously push it off? The S4A pops up/off with barely a touch. Since it's in/out of pockets quite a bit during the day I think it'll either wear out or get torn at the bottom. I'm not going to get rid of it or anything, I do believe the case will protect the S4A if dropped, but the softness of the silicon bugs me a little.

Thanks for the wonderful info...it was quite interesting one to go through it....

For what it's worth regarding the softness of the silicone. I had a galaxy note which is much larger than these phones with an active case on it for a year in heavy use daily and the only wear it ever showed is the matte finish on the back got shiny from all the handling. Silicone still looked like new with no tears. Many many hard drops on concrete where I worked and never any damage to phone.

Looks like is now called DILEX instead of ACTIVE for the S4A.
