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

can anyone take pictures of the tmo case?
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?

I think the case is very slick - nice and thin.
No sure how much protection it offers though.

Probably enough for light impact / against scratches etc. and probably none for 50cm+ drops.
I like that case! Looks really good and professional. Especially if you know the hassle with the Dell Streak cases.

The neoprene pouch looks good, but I really want a pouch with a belt clip.
Looking around I found a universal necklace pouch which may or may not fit the Note, but I'm not going to wear a necklace.

I asked a question as to whether this would actually fit the note. By the looks of it they have just taken the images from cases for other phones, as there is no way the note would fit in it. I'm not sure how custom it is, but I haven't received a response to my question, so I don't think I'll be buying from them until there is confirmation it will actually fit.
Edit: Seems I did get a response, but I only got an email for the first message (a more trivial question). To quote their response:
The pictures are from other model phone. But we can make it to fit Samsung Galaxy Note perfectly.
I believe we can hold them to this, so I might get it.

Here in Greece i had a "leather" pouch custom sewn for my Note at a cost of 20 euros.
It fits nicely and was modded on that of the HTC HD2.

what happens when we drop the note ? will a leather pouch save it from the fall?
such expensive devices need real protection. if only otterbox released a case.

Good point, a pouch won't protect against fall. It will, however, allow the device to be mounted to a belt. That being said, I am still undecided how to go about it. I will probably wait until I have it to make the decision.

I have had a string of devices with PDair vertical sliding cases.
I find them to be the most practical, while offering very good protection.
Am waiting for an order for a case for the Note.
They did have some online when I ordered but have pulled the webpage.
I used to buy cases from Beyza but they seem to have gone over to the dark side and have completely dropped HTC phone cases from their inventory.
Maybe they will make a case for the Note.

Did a quick ebay search and found a 4 results from Germany for Galaxy Note screen protectors by 3M.... never bought from them, but seller ratings look good.

This one i'm aiming for. This will protect the note when it comes for the size of the note.
And, is a screenprotector relevant??? If someone could tell me if it's still needed to protect the screen when it is made of gorilla glass... thnx in advanced.

I totally agree with you on that. And because of the kind of glass you dont need a screenprotector anyway . I'll wait till the white note comes and buy the case from piel frama because my hd2 still looks new after 2 years.

T-Mobile Galaxy S2 T989 Hybrid case - $8! GREAT!! (Review and pics inside)

I wanted to post a review for you guys. This is the best case I've ever used on the T989 or for any phone for that matter. Fits extremely well and has excellent fit and finish (I'm extremely picky) and most importantly the buttons on the side (lock button and volume rockers) are very clicky and have a great feel--unlike a lot of silicone cases where the buttons feel like mush and unresponsive. EXCELLENT BUY. The phone now feels solid and grippy all without getting stuck in your pocket. The back is smooth. Very good balance. Without it, the phone feels flimsy and slippy.

They do have it. I think I found it on the auction site typing t989 hybrid. I don't use mine anymore.

How does it compare to the bulk of something like the Trident Aegis? I'm using the Trident Aegis right now and I'm looking for something with a slimmer profile.

Here it is in white. A simple push of the thanks button would be appreciated.

Yeah i have been using this case for about 2 weeks now and its pretty nice would compare it to a trident case...pretty slim profile for a 2 piece. I would definately recommend to anyone. For the price its a good deal.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Broken.
Received mine today. Fast shipping but the top part of the metal mesh was broken. Called them up and another one is on the way. We will see how this one goes.

How is it compared to the Incipio Silicrylic case?

Yes it's available in white as well. Sorry about that! But I love this case so much! When I used the one piece case, the silicone case got loose over time. Since this one has a hard plastic piece which encases the phone. I dont see that happening here. I'll gladly pay the $8 every 3 months if it came to that though.. great feeling case

3 pounds?!

For anyone that may have both how does the protection compare to the aegis. I have the Aegis and like it but it is definitely bulky

fectsul wrap
I ordered both the Trident and Ballistic. I prefered the Ballistic because of the beefier corners. Better protection if dropped. About the same size as the Trident. No experience witht the case of OP. But, I think you usually get what you pay for.

Thx for sharing this.
Just bought one myself recently, it's a case that I actually like.
however, the only gripe I have is that the silicone half doesn't fit as tight around the phone as I would like. but other than that I love it.

Bump!
Thanks Synenergy52, I went ahead and bought one. I want to especially thank you for the nice detailed (nice resolution and angled) pictures; it's very helpful when you can see an actual image--not some 'stock' photograph on the buyer's page.
Anyway, I actually purchased it from here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Samsung...ccessories&hash=item416695ab2f#ht_2241wt_1396 In case the sale is done, I paid $6.49 USD.
Interestingly, that seller has several color variants. Too bad I'm not very original, although I was tempted with their neon green and black case, hence why I went for the black one (also because that's the one I could see an actual image of, thanks to your review).

I was sold more on this thread, than I was when I looked at the product on the purchase page.
Very content with this case.
Thanks.

Had mine a couple months, like it alot. Bought a slimmer s/hard gel type skin which I like more becuse of slimline but it added the echo to my conversations, even with the card trick. So am back to this one.

Exactly my opinion as well. I feel like the silicone material needs to be a tad bit harder so it doesn't flex so much. Which I would gladly pay much more for.

Amazon doesn't have the all white one. Looking for another alternate case.

anyone else feel the silicon is to lose around the screen edge.

Are you using a case and what brand?

I didn't see another thread with this specific topic. Who out there is using a case for their GS3, and what cases are you using? I'm on the fence, am not usually a case user, and I'm not sure which one to buy. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Also, any pictures and/or links would be appreciated!

i got a case from rockphones. Its really more of a stylish low profile bumper than an encasement

I've been hearing good things about Diztronic cases so I ordered one to try out.

Are the TPU cases supposed to be good shock absorbers?

I picked up a Body Glove today from a local AT&T store. Way overpriced, at $30. But, it is a snug fit, and the whole thing slips into a leather belt-holster nicely.
That being said, I just put on a Zagg HD and am thinking of ordering one of those carbon-fiber stick-ons.

I've got a Rock case on order, just waiting for it to ship. It comes from China so it takes a while to ship but those who have had it said it is very slim and works great with the phone. Definitely not the case to look for if you are looking for protection but I am just looking for something that wont scratch the bottom and protect the camera and screen a little.

Are the TPU cases supposed to be good shock absorbers?

yes. I think they're great. That's what I had on my gs2 and loved it.

I picked up a Cimo TPU case from amazon for 9 bucks shipped. Had one on my evo 3d and it was really nice. Also have a zagg hd. Literally the best screen protector I've ever had. Can't even see its there.

I just ordered one as well - thanks for the tip!
Now I would like to find a charging dock that would work while leaving this cover on during charging (if any exists?!). Taking the cover on & off just to dock is not going to happen.....
Thanks again bro!

Okay, so I have to admit this case is intriguing.

I agree. If you find one please let me know.

This is the case I bought, hopefully it's good. There's not enough reviews about cases yet, so I'm nervous when making decisions on which accessories to get for the S3.
Elsse Case

Otterbox Commuter here. This thing is so slick and slippery I am going to need to put some duct tape or something on it for grip! The store only had plain ole black so maybe I'll just get a Defender online since I know they're grippier.

i ordered the incipio silicrylic case after reading alot of good reviews. just waiting for it to come in.
Incipio case on Amazon

I bought the Diztronic case. It's decent and it comes with a screen protector which was easy to put on.

it is a great case, just a little thick for me. i'm still on the hunt for a decent hybrid that doesn't add too much bulk. looking to try out the pop case by case mate and go from there. i might end up with a high end TPU, either from incipio or speck. the price difference between those two is very large though (almost 20 bucks ).

I was not using a case and you can tell from the pics I've attached I'm regretting it... I do have insurance, so getting a replacement. In addition, I'm going to try the Case Mate Pop.
As I'm sure someone will ask, the screen shattered by landing perfectly flat (screen first) on tile from a ~3 foot fall. The phone without a case is so thin & slick...

I got 3 - went Red, White and Blue!
Couldn't decide which to get, so got 3 !!
I had a Trident Aegis before for my prior phone, the LG g2x (longest year of my life, loved and HATED that phone, it reset ALL the time, even after SW update!) and it does make it bulkier but is GOOD protection, so I got several levels of protection, looks sleekness, after reading everyone else's input, recommendations etc
Got them all on Amazon (along with more goodies!)
