Hi XDAAAAA ! :highfive:
I have prepared for you freshly baked review about SGP illuzion case which went on sale a few days ago.
I want to start with the fact that we have a large selection of accessories from different companies. And sometimes it is very hard to make a choice "what is best and worst".
"ZENUS" one of the competitors which is completely disappointed me.
- magnet built-in !!?! (u kidding me for $57,99?)
-it doesn't look delicate enough. (While the some owner deny this )
-I totally don't like the build quality.
Why should I pay more "$$$" for accessory that I'm ashamed to put on the table.
Where is style? Im sorry guys but all our life we make conclusions by comparing one to another, and there is nothing wrong about it. "-I'll pay more, ...do better"
My choice has stopped on SGP illuzion

Let me start with BUILD QUALITY.
-Quality of the leather is good. Soft to the touch.
-Stitching of the case is finely done
-Ultra thin (fits easily in my pocket, despite the fact that almost all my jeans, pants is skinny)
Design and style
In our time hard to impress someone. Everyone has their own style.
SGP illuzion Embodies classic style with a combination of modern. It looks very expensive whatever I am !!!
I am pleased to put my phone in a visible place
The style is combined with the usability. And this is another thing which is necessary for me !
The advantage of the superiority
Of course it will not replace for us our wallets, but sometimes I want to take something that, which is only necessity for me. Example: my "phone and some cards" (Yea...Today without this, we will not go far away :laugh
SGP illuzion case only has 3 slots ( ...... I remember the words of my grandma: "Little Bit of Everything" )
Chance of losing the cards is practically equal to 0.
Little pockets are made to keep them tightly ! (Important !)
and when you close the cover, they are absolutely safe.
-The phone keeps pretty tight inside also.
It is also nice to see that the
holes for the speakers, camera, LED flash made and located with the medical accuracy.
Case does not use a magnet. I have seen too many guys with the problem of the screen because of the magnet. **** that.
I buy the product for the protection and convenience, not for failure.
How about it charging and music jack ?
Even with connected accessories SGP illuzion case looking hot
Conclusion
-$32.99 - definitely worth it !
(Zenus Case -$57,99 not worth it)
I definitely recommend this case If you are looking for something more than just protection.
Other colors are also available on the official site.
Beware of fake products

I agree, but that rounded metal tab on the strap will concentrate some force on the same spot on the screen every time it happens to hit it...

Thanks for the awesome picks. I know I really like the defender on my brothers iPhone but did not like the "screen protector". How is the screen protector on this one. Does it feel sticky or hard to swype your finger? Also, on my brothers, it always looked like there was "bubbles" under the protector which made it look like crap.
No bubbles at all and I really hate screen protectors and this one in the defender doesn't bother me at all and its very very smooth

Damn! you beat me to hi-res pics. My case is sitting on my doorstep at home. i can't wait!!
sorry but thtas ugly!
Glad to hear the screen protector looks good.
That was honestly my #1 reason for buying this - the built in screen protector. I was going through a new screen protector about weekly and it was getting old and expensive. And I HATE bubbles so glad to hear that isn't an issue.
Was hoping finger smears would be less but looks like that is still a significant problem.
The best part will be putting it in my pocket without worrying so much about the screen.
** Question - how tough is the screen protector? Will it scratch as easily as the adhesive kind? Hope not.
Lol, dude clean your house! You just got that thing and it's already filthy

Thank you for the quality pics!! I was wanting to see some good pics of the Defender so I could make up my mind. I am now 100% on getting the Ballsitic case. The Defender looks great as far as these high protection cases go, I just think the Ballisitic will protect better. Only time will tell though, this may be the tougher of the two, I dont know. Good luck with it man!! Maybe we can post some same angle pics of the two cases when I get my Ballisitic in, to help people decide and just to show the differences. Later

Yeah by the looks of it I do think that the ballistic would offer a bit more protection but im sure both are great cases if not the best. I do think that I will also get the ballistic when it becomes available and will just sell the one I like the least to a friend.
Just received my defender. Only problem I have is the clip is gigantic. It still fits in my pocket and is comfortable to hold.v I recommend it.

I'm curious but what do you guys do that makes you need such a beastly phone protector? It seems like it almost doubles the phone in thickness.

Willing to do a drop test? (Please don't)
Lumber mill work. Exposed to dust, drops,hits, banged around in heavy equipment, narrowly missed being run over by a loaded log truck. (not that the case would have saved it)
I don't want a case, the phone seems relatively tough by design, gorilla glass and all. I'm concerned about the camera though. Anyone have any ideas for protection or whether it actually needs it?

Interesting - didnt know those sort of things existed.
Not sure what to do about mine - I'll monitor this thread with interest
It was my understanding that the lens cover is made of the same/similar glass that's used for the front of the phone.
The HTC Desire etc. had a plastic lens cover that was on the back cover rather than on the actual phone itself which is why something like that needed to exist.

(temporarily for now) I have a small square cut out from the left outs of INVISISHIELD screen protector and have placed it over the "8.0 MEGA" bit.
So when I place it on the table the invisishield will take the weight & scratches

Thanks for linking to my site eddablin and Hampa_D!
simply buy a cheap phone protector, cut it and put in to the lens. I do that on my hd2 for years and its great.
This sounds like a good idea. Does it affect picture quality through the invisishield though?

No I just did two really thin strips on the top and bottom of the lens so that it doesn't affect camera whatsoever. And on the bottom just above the speakers. Ill take a pic and post it when I have time. definitely working though. I'm at peace without needing a case.

Not planning to get a case for this.

Looks good. I'm sure I had some of this stuff lying around but predictably, I can't find it. Will definitely buy some!
I find it hard to believe that some case maker doesnt jump on this gap in the market and design a case with a simple sliding or magnetic cover over the lens... it seems simple, in my head!
Im going to try and make my own cover on a silicon case, just ordered some really thin magnetic strip and going to try to devise a simple material flap to cover the lens and fix with the magnet.. sue, it will prob look awful, but its a case of function over design for me!

Hi Guys,
Just wondering what cases you guys are using, and whether you have any recommendations at all?
I just picked up a brand new Galaxy W for a very good price on eBay and am interested in using the Galaxy W daily for a while, trying out some of the Development in this section.
I have an outdoors job so prefer bulky/rugged cases, but would love to hear your thoughts on any and all cases, and some photos if you are able!
Cheers! :good:
I got this on Amazon a few months ago:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0075VZORQ
It's just made of semi-hardened "gel" plastic, but I've dropped the phone numerous times since I got the case and it's protected it perfectly IMHO.
I don't know what the postage/shipping to Australia will be, but if it's cheap, it may be worth a go?

yep, as ilyamodder says, it fits perfectly, all the ports are accessible (the usb port cover can be a bit hard to open with big fingers, but I just take the cover off when charging )
Got it and a bunch of styluses (stylii? ) for just under €10 inc postage, though postage will be a bit more for you
The case itself does make the phone slightly more bulky though (which is usually no bad thing imho)
I recommend the case highly :good:
the capdase look nice :good:
i bought nillkin snap on cover, waste of money at least to me..make the phone dont feel nice to hold
Any case will do fine but for the best protection choose a TPU-Gel case. If you wanna choose another kind rather than gel, make sure that case covers the top and bottom otherwise your top part will get dented like mine

I love NillKin gear. They make very sexy cases and the best screen protectors on the market. Unfortunately, the hard snap-on cases don't protect top and bottom, which is a definite no-go for me Do you know if they do a TPU for the Galaxy W? I have the smoked TPU for my One X, and it's amazingly good quality.
EDIT: I just found, and bought, my favourite NillKin case ever:

Exactly my thoughts friend Coverage on all sides is very important to me, I am very fussy about scratches on my toys!
I ended up going with these ones:
The all-black looks pretty good!
Keep the suggestions coming, I love to see how you guys protect your toys!
the black one is the one i have
guess the seller i bought it off on Amazon "renamed" it in the description
great case, enjoy it!
juzz86,
nillkin definately very good quality, the plastic feel very nice..all the cutout too are nicely cut just i dont like the feel..should bought tpu instead
I've used Capdase on my previous phones and will definitely use it for my Wonder.
I have just received my Galaxy Wonder.
I have to say, this is a very impressive little handset. I usually use a Note, but the performance and pocket-ability of this little beauty is excellent!
You guys are onto a good thing here :good:
I'm using a nice slim leather slip case (eBay Item number: 390401480600).
It is a good snug fit and offers decent protection.I think that it is actually meant for an iPhone 3G as they are very, very similar in size to the SGW, and doesn't have one of those pull tabs which eventually polish a strip on back of your phone from repeated use.

Nice to hear. Are you using the stock rom or CM9?
I am interested , because i found the performance on the stock ROM was more average than outstanding.
Thus, it's good to hear the opinion of someone who used the Galaxy Note a while.

To be honest I was expecting it to be quite poor by comparison. Happy to report that I was very surprised after having a play. At least on the i8150T, the stock ROM optimisation seems to be very good. Homescreen transitions are nice and smooth, in fact everyday performance in general has been quite good.
It stumbles with Live Wallpapers, and of course the older Adreno doesn't do games particularly well, but I didn't grab it for games. Funnily enough, when I flashed a de-branded ROM onto it, I felt a few more stutters than I did on the Vodafone ROM. So after losing 850 HSPA I've gone back to stock Voda and left it alone.
I'm.really happy with it
I used to use a Capdase case. Quite sturdy: it enables my phone to survive the hands of my 1.5 y.o. boy (who loves to launch things off his hands onto the cold, hard floor). It has cut-outs big enough for a Blackberry charger to charge my W.
I'll post a pic when I get home.
__ from W with BionicCow2 & xda-developers app.
I also use capdase. From the very first day I bought my Galaxy Wonder, capdase case had been protecting it. I just hate when dusts come in. But anyway, when it comes to protection, Im quite satisfied with what the capdase offers.

No pics of the case with a phone in it though, I tried it for only a short while before pulling it out in favour of the NeoHybrid.
Short review: It's a good case but overpriced. I really thought that by "mesh" the case had holes in the back, but no. There are only dimples on the inside of the case, the back is totally smooth (which I don't really like personally).
The 3DO band is thick around the case, making the device fatter (and theoretically improving the side impact resistance) but there isn't much of a lip around the front.
IMHO it's good if you want a simple see-through case with good side impact resistance - though like I said, it's relatively overpriced.

We appreciate anything you can accomplish, if you get ahold of a second capturing device (friends phone or webcam or whateveR) if you could take a few different angles of it and try to capture the lip representation best you can that would be awesome.
I'm a bit sad to hear about very little lip around the screen, I had high hopes for this case but it sounds like it might not be that great now. So the whole case is semi flexible like a TPU case then? but its on pretty firm on the phone?

Well, it IS a TPU case. It just has an extra 3D0 ring built into the edges.
I'll try to get somebody's phone to take some pics. But it really has a very limited lip - the NeoHybrid is miles better in this regard.

I did a review of the mesh case and I'm not sure if I can post links yet, but here it is:
http://www.androiddoes.net/accessories/tech21-impact-mesh-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/
Anyway, I had a demo of the technology at CTIA in New Orleans, and they put that stuff all over my hands like they did for Phil at Android Central. It's pretty neat stuff, the orange gel, called d3o, locks up when it is struck and protects your device. They even gave me a little bit of d3o in the press kit. Anyway, it's fun to play with.
Of all the cases that I have been sent to review so far, I like the impact mesh the best. Having said that, I didn't have to pay anything for it. However, I would pay the $60 for the case, ($50 for the case and $10 for shipping) just to know that my expensive phone was protected.

AHH dude thank you for posting this.. I've been lusting after one of these since i first saw it.. I bet it would look outstanding on my white phone! I wish they weren't so expesnive though I cant really afford it at this time.. But i'm so glad to read about it..
I've always wondered if the smalla mount of orange in there would actually make enough of a difference during a drop, i mean i've seen the demo video where they throw the phone etc etc.. but those can be staged and they may not be the exact same case.. I kind of wisht hey had a 'shock' or 'vibration' sensor that was shaped like the phone that they could put in there and drop with and without the case and show much difference it makes...
but again Thank you for posting this review! i envy ya with that cool case!
No problem, glad to help.

Hello everyone, I guess I'm just here to show you guys a little accessory I made for my One. I welded it out of random scrap metal and bent a bracket back in between the dash and clock accessory to hold it in place. It's very stable, and good for using with Navigation, or for changing the music on my Bluetooth stereo.

I envy your ingenuity, yet pity your phone for all the scratches this will give it.
This has to be a joke this will destroy your device

You need to go to home depot and pick up a can of plasti-dip to coat your holder.
No way would I place my device in that bare. If its in a case that would be fine, but the bare metal sticking out of your dash is abit of an eyesore.
I like it as a diy, but coat it in plasti-dip and it would go from unsightly to being near perfect.
Love the implementation of Industrial Design, combined with American ingenuity & sheer retardedness. lol.
Just kidding! Work on your quality of finish maybe?
are you serious ?????? put it in the bin
Wow, don't we have a bunch of asshats on this forum.
Nice work dude, maybe spray it with something so you don't damage the phone.

haha wow I just happened to find two people who seem to keep this amazing piece of equipment.. without a case? Lol I habent had it out, since I bought it, for more than a minute or two.
Plasti-dip is a good idea! although I'm beggining to like the industrial look of it, as bare metal.

Yeah, thank you! Just thought someone might get an idea from mine.. I thought of that, I just kind of like the way it looks. Who knows, might dip it though. Thanks for the input!

Here's a photo of how it doesn't hurt my device:

lol yeah, im not a big fan of cases honestly. I may use one from time to time, but only to match an outfit, but even then I mostly rely on skins lol. I usually just throw a full body skin on it or leave my phones bare.
Always found it funny when people rave and make a big deal about how a phone looks or how thin it is then throw it into an otterbox or something.
What case is that?
Cool clock!

I did as you said, and plasti-dipped it!
I think it looks pretty cool, and now it's protected by a layer of rubber, so bare phones will be happy still.

Very nice. I wish I had my '89 CRX to do things like this to. I'm going to find a decent suction cup holder from somewhere eventually.
Is this the only version you're making? I was thinking next time you could use a pneumatic press and take a single piece of steel and fold it so you don't have so many harsh edges. Or heat a single piece of steel and make like a blacksmith and bend that beast with a sledgehammer and willpower.
alternatively if you absolutely must weld it, weld the sides on the backside of the backplate rather than the front. Just curious why you took the time to weld it but disregarded the 20 seconds it would've taken to smooth it with a hand-held grinder?
Also, why not legos?
I also had the idea to build this with lego . (my old phone, but also works with my HTC One)
