i9000 Cases on Vibrant

I've read several posts from people saying the dimensions are only about 0.3mm different so the Korean cases for the i9000 would fit on the Vibrant.
I imagine the silicone cases would fit fine, but I'd be curious about the fit of the hard cases.
If anyone picks one up, could you please post your feedback on the quality and fit.
**Sorry for the new post, I meant to post in the existing thread about the Silicone Cases. - Not sure how to move this post.

I bough;

just waiting for it to come in but ill let ya know

Actually I'm pretty sure that the phones are the exact same size, so you should be able to use any hard or soft case that's made for the international version without any problems.

I was going to order one of those Amzer cases, until I saw the 8/17 ship date.

I got the black soft case from T-Mobile yesterday because I just didn't want to risk not having a case.. but looking for something better. And hope that Zagg comes out with our shield ASAP!

I did the same and got lucky they still had some. The T-mobile stores around here didn't carry much of anything for accessories. They had 7 cases available for 55 phones. Lol.
I'm looking at an Amzer case as well, but the shipping date is so long from now.

lucky, my store only had 3 for 40 phones. naturally, they were sold out long before i was there. maybe apple bought up all the case material seeing how they owe everyone one

i found these two "gel" variants on ebay for $3ea shipped so i figure why not... six bucks for two cases?

Go to the silicone cases thread. Someone posted a picture of it.
I got a jelly case and a mesh case from Korea. Hopefully it's good quality.

they have cheaper ones on ebay in black and in white just type "Galaxy S TPU" in the ebay search bar but there weren't any pics of it actually on the phone so i put these up instead, I know those auctions are for 2 cases and a useless screen protector (has Galaxy S Home button cutout), I wonder if maybe you have the choice of two colors since your getting 2 cases anyways?

The white one looks nice .

It looks different enough from your run of the mill gel/rubberized/plastic case. I like the design. Much more expensive at ~$20, but my Vibrant deserves a nice case for having such a nice screen.

What's the point of a case that doesn't cover the edges?

Zenus 'Prestige' Carbon Series Stand / Case

Well, I just got this case today. It comes in black or white. I got the black one. I'd post pictures but my grandkids are here and I won't be able to do it until tomorrow.
My mini-review:
Pros:
Fit and Finish is beautiful.
Very light. Case and Tablet weighs 1lb 12.6ozs
Very thin.
(Added) The edges of the screen are not covered. Like the Samsung case there are 3 clips to hold the TAB. I don't like the way most ofthe other cases cover the border of the screen with "PU" or leather.
Cons:
TOO EXPENSIVE. It may be "worth" $85 + shipping for it's quality but for what it is it's just too much money
TOO EXPENSIVE
"Stand" is only a single position and the way it works is you have to unsnap the bottom half of the tablet from it's perfectly fitting snap on cover and rest it on the "latch" that holds locks the case closed. I have to believe that eventually the snaps will lose their tension and not tightly hold the Tablet. May be wrong there but it seems to be.
Must be opened to access USB connection.
TOO EXPENSIVE
I have six months to return it so I'm not worried.

I looked at that case but since it was seemingly 2x as thick and made from "synthetic leather" (either plastic or "PU" not sure which) I chose the other. I probably would prefer the Samsung over that one since the Samsung is very thin and lite. Also don't like the "hand strap" since it reminds me of a ping-pong paddle.
However if the quality is just as good it would be a good alternate choice for those who don't mind the thicker vinyl case.

Cut the price in half and I'll buy.

I sent it back for a refund. Too expensive and required "unsnapping" the bottom 2 clips holding the TAB to "stand" it.
Well made and excellent fit and VERY light .... but not worth it to me.

Aw, that's kinda upsetting. It sure looked like a nice case, and for some reason I'm a sucker for carbon fiber styling, but it's sad to hear about those downsides.
If nothing else, thanks for being a guinea pig on that! It was hard enough to justify that kind of money on a simple case even if it was perfect. The USB slot issue is the killer, really.

How did you go about sending it back for a refund. I'm about to do the same with mine. My initial impressions were that it was a good case but after having it a couple days I'm ready to return it and get something cheaper that is probably a better quality.

I purchased through Amazon. I went into my Amazon account and sent the "seller" a message, They have a 14 day return policy. You can also contact them through their website but if you purchased from Amazon you should email through there as Amazon keeps records of the contacts and you are protected.

i was thinking about getting this case but real expensive ... waiting on your pics ...
has anyone found any other carbon fiber cases?

Then you will be waiting for a long time because as I stated in the previous message I sent it back.
BTW, it was NOT carbon fiber, it's a vinyl fabric.

Real Leather Folding/Wallet Style Case - UPDATES?

I have read through all the older case threads pertaining to real leather style cases, most of which haven't been updated in over a month. Anyone come across something awesome? My Note comes this weekend.

Im going to buy next this one or this one. Not sure if those are real leather tho.

I loved the Spigen but I was looking for a Brown color in between the tan and the brown that is available. May get that one as well if I strike out. Thanks for sharing bro.

This one is great build quality, but as I noticed in the other threads the leather is lighter and all that stuff on the front kind of kills it for me.

Just if color and build quality was better.

Take a look at Easecase on Ebay. They make superb leather custom cases. You choose the colour,leather texture, closure option,engraving etc ,etc.
I purchased a wallet type case for my GS2 and it is amazing. Do a search for them on this site and you will find various reviews

I have the first one in your listing and can confirm it is not real leather. The fitting is perfect and the it is a beautiful case. However, it doesn't hold credit card or cash too well.
There isn't sufficient space between the front cover and Note's screen, so you will have a hard time close the flip after occupy the credit card slots or placed your cash.
The case is made from not so durable material. I would expect the PU surface to deteriore after a few months.

Yes, Faux Leather. Not sure why the SGP site lists is a genuine leather. I have mine filled with CCs, drivers license, a key card, cash, and some business cards. Closes and snaps fine.

Looking at it, I think the plastic part that holds the Note is just glued to the wallet part. I found that a quick bend on the lower left corner will pop my phone right out to quickly answer a call or throw into my car dock.

Thanks for the awesome info. What kind of closure did you pick? Can you realistically hold bills and cards in there? Does the one you have contain a spot for bills behind the credit card area or is that just a seam?

My E4 case for the GS2 has three slits for credit cards, there is also a small inner pocket where you could put a few bills. The E4 for the Note has five slits for credit cards and should have the same inner pocket (behind credit card slits) It has the inserted closure.
I must point out the Easecase will answer any questions regarding further info/options/customizing - this really impressed me. They provided me with photos of colour options and engravement placement.
Before I got my Easecase, I used a Melkco flipcase which I loved. Unfortunately I dropped my phone this resulted in having two ugly dents in it. After that ....I was determined to get a case with full protection. I didn't really purchase it for the wallet aspect, as I use my purse and handbag for that.
All future phones will be lovingly encased in Easecase LoL

Fake Spigen Neo Hybrid Case Review

I wanted to share my experience and a review of a fake Spigen Neo Hybrid case I bought not too long ago. I got the idea from a few people who suggested getting the fake case now that the authentic has been discontinued so if you're still looking for this style and want to know what the price, quantity and shipping times are like keep reading.
The design of the case is obviously its main attraction and I have to give Spigen props for taking design cues from the handset itself and making it smooth, modern and overall aesthetically pleasing. The case itself is composed of a TPU shell with a polycarbonate color band that is interchangeable if you purchase more than one case.
I ordered a total of 3 cases and didn't see any visible manufacturing defects. At one point in the video above I point out that the band bows out a bit near the volume rocker but after closer inspection I noticed the band wasn't sitting flush with the TPU cutout and the problem remedied itself after I pressed it in properly.
I've done some intense gaming as well as normal charging to the phone and haven't noticed any sagging of the TPU on the back. The Volume rocker and Power buttons press in perfectly on all three of my cases which is good to hear considering the manufacturing problems Spigen had with the authentic ones. The quality of the materials used is top notch when compared to other hybrid cases I've used in the past but I can't compare them to the real case because I don't own one.
The case came in a nice packaging and included a decent screen protector but a really crappy microfiber cleaning cloth. I didn't mind to much considering I've got others to fall back on but just wanted to give you a heads up.
I paid $15ish for 3 cases shipped for free from China and they arrived in exactly 12 days even though I placed the order on a Sunday. The merchant included a tracking number and payment was held in escrow until I confirmed the arrival.
If you were as disappointing as I was that Spigen discontinued the Neo Hybrid style case for the Galaxy S3 then you may want to give the fake cases a try. At the dirt cheap price and good build quality it makes for an easy purchase even if you're usually conservative on accessory purchases.
Below some pics I took of the case and packaging.
For the full comprehensive review which includes the link to the merchant (not sure if I could post it here so I didn't) and a ton of other pics please visit CLICK HERE.

I have one of them replica neo hybrids and the buttons are really difficult to press. Still looks identical too me as the real one. Build quality is great for the price.

Yeah the build quality is great and the price makes you want to buy one even if your not in the market for one.

is the "made by spigen california" mis spelling visible? or just the 8 MEGA?
i might buy this case anyways because i messaged the seller and he said I could get a grey back with a white bumper - hope he understood that I want to mix and match, but if I get the wrong case at least I have the messages to dispute

Where is this available for 5$?

The words on the color band aren't noticeable unless you're like 6 inches away from it. The grooves aren't deep enough so it doesn't catch much light at all making it hard to see. The MEGR on the other hand is noticeable from about a foot away from your face. The seller seemed really easy to work with. During my chat with him before I placed the order I asked if he could do a blue band with the blue back and he said yes and sure enough you can see it in the video. Didn't look as good as I thought it would in my head but at least he understood what I meant.

I left the link out of the review since I didn't know if it was appropriate to include it. Better safe than sorry, don't want the thread to get deleted. Check out the in depth review link and you'll find the source at the bottom.

Sweet! Thanks for the in-depth review. Gonna buy 3 of these babies and try em out. I really love the blue and lime green, not sure what my third colour should be though. Perhaps white?

I've just buy one in blue version for me.. It's a good fake spigen case But real problem for me is power button.. Very hard to press! Volume buttons are good. What can I do for making it softer?

Just recieved my black/green case. All fits great, my only gripe is that the side dont fit quite snug like im use to seeing. You can see it move when pressing the sides. Its a very thin tpu so dont expect much drop protection lol. Other than that its a great case. Would this case replace my zoogue tpu? Hell no! Would i rock it? Hell yes! Looks great. Bought it on ebay from seller nima22. Overall its a great replica case. Great color variances to choose from. Thinking of ordering black/red and black/white for my white gs3. Sorry only have 1 camera at the moment. Here are some pics of the case itself.

I believe that this is when they'll take the opportunity to display and announce the sale of all (seven?) of the original Style Swap covers.
My Bacon has a clear case on it to protect it, but I still want it to look nice when I look at the back. I want the Kevlar, bamboo, and carbon fiber backs to make my phone stand out. Nice custom look while giving extra protection to the phone from the clear IMAK case. Best of both worlds.
Edit: In addition to the bamboo, I hope to see some extremely dense wood Style Swap covers as well. Just for that nice look and some serious protection for the back. Of course it would add quite a bit of weight, but it would definitely be solid.

Personally I am looking forward to the carbon fiber back, but I wonder what the price point for these new backs will be. I am surprised to see OnePlus pushing accessories when they still have yet to offer pre-orders or open ordering for everyone though.

anybody found a simillar cover on ebay or aliexpress?

I'm just wondering how tough it'll be to change out the back plates cause I saw a post the other day and the person really messed up his back plate taking it off, basically making it not usable until the new ones are out..

I soldered in a wireless charging receiver, but it doesn't pass through the back cover well. I'm looking to find a replacement back so I can modify it so the inductive coil is on the outside with the wires running in.

This is the one I purchased. But I'll likely get the official wooden one when it goes up for sale.

Skinomi is a nice company and its not a bad idea to use it in one plus one.

I prefer dbrand. https://dbrand.com/shop/oneplus-one and they have a warning for the sandstone themselves.
Important note about the black OnePlus One:
We strongly encourage you not to skin the back of your Sandstone Black OnePlus One. While covering it with a skin will definitely make it look cool, it won't improve the fantastic grip already offered by the Sandstone finish.
With that being said, adding a front and matching camera skin would be a great idea. Every front skin comes packaged with two anti-glare screen protectors, providing full protection for the front of your device.
At dbrand, we care about user experience. In the end, the choice is entirely yours.

I wonder how much it'll cost and how difficult it would be to swap the covers but now we know its more than a back plate and also the sides.

If it's any more than $20 there's no way I'll purchase it. I wonder if any 3rd party companies will try to make custom back plates for the One?

Tomorrow all questions will be answered. Just a little bit patience but if I remember correctly OPO have said that price will be around $20.

Lets hope that changing the "skin" of it wont be as hard as we think it is.

I feel that dbrand should not do vinyl skins but do custom back plates kinda like what OPO is doing since they offer dbrand skins but they don't recommend skins over the sandstone.

But did you see the close ups???
The side plastic of monotone beige color makes it SO CHEAP (((
Real turn off.
I'm glad that it was published..., than I know that no bamboo cover for me for sure.
Still would gladly have a look at the alternatives of the dark wood....wondering what kind of side panels they will get.

Looks like the page is up with a video, out of stock and is $49.00. I will definitely be passing on this. Maybe OnePlus should have it like Moto where you can select what backpiece you'd want?

I guess they won't be available until August and that this is just a pre announcement
We want to first introduce you to our Bamboo StyleSwap Cover, as this will be the first one available for purchase at the end of August. We know it’s still a bit away, but we wanted to give you an update of what we’ve been working on and what you can soon expect.

$49 usd

Extremely overpriced for not being a case. Worth no more than $10-$15 each.
I am going to pass, smh!
