hi guys,
amongst over things I am looking for a pouch (neoprene/leather etc) for the s3
something like this: (sorry can't post it until 10 posts )
does anyone have one they recommend?
I did look at the official flip cover but the reviews seem to indicate it gets dirty and being in your pocket damages it. (I work in construction so ideally want something to cover it unless I take it out.
thanks for any help
I went through a few looking for one I liked. Finally kept the SGP Crumena, only thing I would change is a hole for the notification led. I added my own with a leather punch. Great case though, nice tight fit that covers the phone completely and feels top quality.

I have the one from bolletta, and is very good with a click system to close so it can not fall out the pouch.

Have a look for Easecase on ebay, they have various models, each can be customised with a choice of leather, lining colour, closure system etc. Had one for my HD2, S2 and now S3. Really well made and sturdy (I lump the lot in a handbag quite regularly)

I measured it carefully and used a leather hole punch to make it look like it was manufacturer made.

Nice! How does it feel in hand?

feels nice and it has a lot more grip to it.
Does it collect a lot of dust?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Why would it collect dust ? never herd of any cases that collect.
The only problem with these type cases is the clear ones tend to turn yellow in a few months, the colored ones don't
now they have 7 cases, for only 17.99 great deal

Thank you Siberslug!
Just bought myself a case after seeing your thread. Thanks for posting!
My Vibrant gets here tomorrow, I'm even more excited now!
Welcome! The edges are more sturdy than the t-mobile case is, but the center is still flimsy.
It is also not nearly as sticky as the t-mobile case, which is a GOOD thing to me. It still has a grip to it, but it isn't so difficult to stick in my pocket (or pull back out)
I just received mine today...
This is the one I bought:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Gel-Case-...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d2a05dbdb
I was worried that it would be a loose fit but it fits very snugly on to the phone. You have to try very hard to pry it off, which is good!
It's more plastic like than it is a gel like material but it feels very nice in your hands. The feel of it will get smoother after a few days of use once all the oils from my skin get onto it.
I ordered it on 7/19 and received it today on 7/26 and paid $2.98 for everything!
Just buy it in TMO + the screen protector. Pfft. I spent 600 on the phone. another 40 bucks for a case + screen protector. is nothng.
Just picked this up for £9.95 from Phones 4U and I'm really impressed with it.
Nice mesh effect with a silver Galaxy S 2 badge.

Any pics ?
How is the grip/feel? Does it feel rubbery/tacky; or plastic/smooth/slippery? LOL
I wish I could find this thing in the U.S. All I have found is Hong Kong/UK, Paypal only, 2-3 weeks delivery etc...
Try ebay a seller selling for 7.95 or offer. I made £5 offer and they excepted, awaiting delivery, some1 has a pic on a different thread. Looks very nice!!!
I also have one of these, but it leaves the top and bottom exposed, so I also use the HTC HD7 leather pouch and with the hard case it combines perfect, got the leather pouch from o2 but they are cheaper from amazon ;-)
I got these pictures from another site:
http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/995514-samsung-galaxy-s-ii/page__st__90
Here is what the original author had to say about it:
Previous pics online stores of the official case don't give the impression of it looking as expensive as it does in person so hopefully my pics will help change that
The material is plastic/rubberised but it's not as rubbery as other cases, it won't show finger greasy marks like others and appears to be black inside and out so chips/scrapes won't show the undercoat which is good news as my Desire case had white showing on every edge!
I like the drilled look too, I don't think it's to help heat escape but more a design feature and does help grip too.
It also provides a bit of a lip on the front so if the phone is placed face down then the screen is protected from surface contact.

After dropping my phone in my room last night, it's been relegated to storage, impacted with carpeted floor, and shot off out the door, phone left on the floor screen down. Imagine that in the high street, even if it offers minimum protection it should atleast stay on the phone.
Yes we all heard about your accident
You got unlucky, that is all.
dunno mate i'm pretty careful and a little OCD about fitment, but it was off my desk, i mean surely a little more sturdy?
Something occured to me in the office, some thin doublesided tape could work wonders.
I think you got unlucky dude
My HTC Magic suffered a facial scare (the girls love scars, afterall!) yet my Desire was fine
do you have the link of ebay? I cant find this case anywhere.
try here, if you are in the uk:

The cheap eBay Bumper case I posted about on another board arrived today and it looks quite good until you pick it up and notice how thin and light it is which kind of goes hand in hand with it's massively small £3 price. It does the job fine on a S2 with the stock battery though but with extended battery the lip surrounding the front bezel is less pronounced.
It is not great with the Zenis dock either as it doesn't sit flush whereas the Zenis one does. I was expecting it to fit fine but the bottom is not sitting nicely like the Walnutt bumper does.
So far I think the Walnutt case looks the best and also feels like it's worth some ££ too. I especially like the lip bearing the Walnutt brand name on the back, it kind of completes an otherwise baron backside, something that the SGP NeoHybrid EX bumper lacks although I'm sure the SGP feels every bit as good and expensive as the Walnutt ones.
Considering the Walnutt bumper is thicker than the cheap eBay one I was surprised it was exactly the same thickness when put on the phone, I put it on my dad's S2 with stock battery to compare in the pics below.

Wow 10 pounds for shipping to Spain! What a RIP OFF. I'll write the seller and see what he says. I doubt though that he'll change the price. I've had books and computer parts delivered for less!

this is the case found on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747091#
Okay so i just got the case today
My first impression was it looks pretty cool.
Inspecting the case more, i find the quality to be pretty good. It doesnt feel cheap, not at all.
The case is easy to put on, but hard to take off. What I'm saying is, it doesnt feel like the second piece of the case would fall out of it at all.
The first layer of the case is made of Silicone. The second is hard plastic with silicone top on it which gives it more grip on your hand and wouldnt slip when put on top of a table, etc.
The case feels solid and grippy. it has holes for the mic and noise cancellation mic. The case has a cover for the 3.5mm which is great but not for the micro usb(expected that anyways).
The volume and power button are easy to press and gives you a nice feedback. Its really great
There is only one problem that i came across with the case, though its not really a big deal.
The hole for the micro usb port is too small for the charger that came with the phone. But if you force it in, it should go in DEEP.
I have a spare cable like this one so everything is all good

For $6 this case is a total beast.
Quality is great and it looks pretty slick.
9/10
just got my other case today.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/330759812700?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
The case looks fantastic, though. Its hard to put on, like super hard. You have to force it to fit.
What i like about it is that it looks better than the the one similar to it. I like how the charging port is bigger as well.
Only problem i have with it is that fitting, its not easy and requires a lot of force to get it fitted.
Check out the pictures.

Suggestions for a good thin, white, matte finish case that ships to Canada?
I am using the original "Designed for Samsung" case, made by Samsung itself. It's slim and has a nice rubbery and matte outside. Here are some pictures with it:

The code of the case is SAMNCCWH. If you search for that you will surely find it. Good luck
wasn't it determined that this case wasn't made by Samsung actually?
still looks nice, im looking at getting the black version, but not covering the top and bottom is making me hesitant.

Sorry, I didn't get that. Who exactly determined that?
I suggest that this silicone case, ultra-thin and transparent, do not feel the weight of. Link

Skip to post #61 for conversation about authenticity.
It seems to be made by Kondor Limited, who is an OEM manufacturer contracted by Samsung.
The case may not be official, but people still like it and say it fits well. Not bad at all.
I use this one on my white Nexus. It's a little transparent.
