Don't think that I have seen anybody post about vaja cases for the Galaxy S3. Be warned, these are priced at a premium, but IMHO, are worth the $. Always have had perfect fit, and the leather is as good as it gets. Plus you get to pick and choose your colors.
The have a basic back shell, a flip case and a pouch right now...I would suspect that we'll see more soon.

Yep, they are "slap your grandma" expensive. However, I can vouch for the fact that they are high quality products.

Hey all,
So when I first got the Vibrant I was a little ticked off how poorly companies had taken into account Samsung and there for left us limited to crappy Tmo cases. Anyway, that's why I love globalization and the internet. I bought a Zenus case which came with two amazing screen protectors. The only problem is that they are for the actual Galaxy S not our variant. Anyway, here are some small pics of the case I'll put up more later off the actual device, and the screen protectors.

Looks nice. I have been considering getting a leather style case like that.
I got that exact same one. Love it! We will see how it holds up though.

I do love it. It's comfy and sturdy. Its no otter box but still a great case. I like that it makes the phone a little heavier, which is the only thing I don't like about the Vibrant. The light weight plastic makes it feel kind low quality cheap to me.

I agree it can be slightly chubby in the pocket, but I think the thinness of this phone has spoiled me.

Hybrid Flexi Skin Cover
Might try one out if the Hybrid Flexi Skin Cover doesn't do as good as I'm hoping it will.
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

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........
is it genuine ?

Looks like a good idea modelled on the GoPro camera system. Rugged case with various mounting options and from looking on the website they are planning lens modules to attach to the case later.
its waterproof up to 6'6" deep as well. Looks like a nice case.
Looks pretty cool. Unfortunately I will probably have a new phone by the time its actually released and shipped.
It's dimensions look a lot more "everyday use" friendly. I have the Obex and I'm happy with it, but I would like less bulk.

Looks pretty awesome but I honestly doubt they'll reach $105000 pledged. At $60 a case that's 1750 people agreeing to buy a case from an unestablished brand. If it was already out, it would be a good buy.

Took close to three weeks because I picked white, but I finally have it.
Wireless charging works fine with both TYLT and an el-cheapo one.
The cover does have a magnet, so the screen turns on/off automatically (nice!).
Both the earpiece hole and the notification hole work as you'd expect them to.
Makes the phone look bulky, but expensive.
Is it worth the $50 I paid?
Yes.
For me at least.

Did you click on the arrow? There are 8 or so photos for each.
I had owned a number of their products, and the quality is top notch. You can find plenty of reviews for other cases online.
Updated with short review
I always was envious of those phones that got wrapped in Vaja leather. Those cases always look so nice, as do these.
I'm personally not a fan of this style of case, but it looks well made and like you said, expensive. I bought three cases for my N5, none of which I use, so yeah, this one case is easily worth the $50 I've spent thus far

I do love the ivolution Vaja's. My ivolution for my Sony Clie NX70 is still going strong after all these years! lol I wanted to get one of these for my N4, but they absolutely failed in communicating on the delays of my order. I do want them, but for one, they have to promise to deliver when they say. I have spoken to another member who knows the owner of Noreve personally and sent my feedback to them. I have no opinion of the product, but I am curious now based on those nice pics. Handcrafted leather is just nothing like it IMO.

I'm sure you bought this reasonable expectations, but I have to say, once you go premium leather, you just can't go back.
As with everything else, premium quality is addicting. :laugh:
Man this looks nice. Wish they made one without the screen cover though. I could never stand having that big flap when using my phone.
