I will post pics when it arrives.

my friend had one of these for his nexus, it made it freakishly huge...i'll be interested in your feedback once you get it....i dont mind if it gets heavier tho...this phone is soooooo light compaired to a N1

I hear you. If that's the case then I would use it when I really need it.

I'm sorry, thats god awful. It looks like a very cheap plastic you'd find on a toy tool box.

Don't listen to him, this looks like a good case. Let us know how it is, looks great, I'd like a metal case.

Aluminum = plastic????
Thanxs mafaesto
Anyway still waiting. Coming from Hong Kong. I'm not clumsy. I can't say the same for the rude and "blind" people around me. Public transportation, parades, sporting events it's easy to get this little phone knocked out of you hand in my opinion. So why not have metal and foam protecting your investment. I probally won't use it if i'm driving that day but going to party definitely.

Hey check this out, it's basically the same case as you linked in the OP (same brand) but specifically designed for the Vibrant, rather than the international Galaxy S. So basically, you don't have that extra hole for the FFC.
That and it's a pretty cool color, but they also have black available.

Lol Looks Like does not mean Aluminium = Plastic. It looks like plastic, that's all im saying.

Aluminum will **** with your phones reception

The case came today. No reception issues. It adds some weight to the phone. The hinge and latch might get caught if you put it in your pocket with other stuff (I don't). But it is protection! No problems accessing buttons. Will post pics later.

Looking forward to pics! I was going to order the black one but was concerned with reception issues. Is the inside of the case lined with a non-aluminum material?

T-Mobile Accessories

I am a rep for T-Mobile and we have started receiving our accessories in the stores. I don't have pictues just yet because I don't want to lose my job as many of my co workers are also tech savvy and on this forum, however I have seen that there are a few nice accessories that you all can expect from T-Mobile at launch. Keep in mind that our stuff is pretty expensive but there is a buy 2 and get 20% off and buy 3 get 30% off accessories special going on right now.
1) leather vertical belt clip
2) gel skins in blue, purple and pink so far
3) a hard shell with a kind of monochrome checker pattern n the back. (This one is nice and thin but is the kind that lacks wrap around protection on the top and bottom of the phone. Kinda just cradles the sides and back. Still nice though.)
4) there is supposed to be a hard shell with a slot for you ID and credit cards. (I haven't seen this one yet but if its nice and thin this is the one I will buy.)
5) there should be a desktop cradle coming soon too because this phone has the charging contacts on the side so it will be a landscape cradle. Looking forward to this one too! (Missed it from when I had my nexus)
Anyways I'll stop rambling now. I hope this helps you all out and at least can give you an idea of what is coming at launch time guys. The MyTouch line is
T-Mobile's franchise line of products so expect to see a lot of advertising, support and a full line of accessories.

Thanks for the update. Keep us posted when and how we can order the new phone.

I think one of the best places to get the phone will be at walmart usually 50-60 bucks cheaper...

The credit card holder shell/skin is cool! (already got it in my store)
-clear back shell/rubber side hybrid is cool too

Is there a chance you could post pics of credit card holder shell? Sounds interesting!

Any luck telling us location of your store? I personally am looking for the white my touch with the clear hard shell case and kickstand

Im using the black gel skin on mine we got some nice ones in my store there is a clear one with a grey rubber grip down the sides which cradles the phone nicely and covers the corners as well. I threw it on the white one and it contrasted very well. Wasnt to crazy about it on my black phone though.

t-mobiles facebook page posted a bunch of pics of the accessories. they all look pretty sweet!

here is a link to the preview:

I'm digging the black case with clip

Are there any real-life pictures of these cases? I'm looking for a slim case that will protect that is not the rubber/silicone.

I got the black silicon slip case, the dual-port car charger and the generic GPS cradle (I wish they'd hurry up and release the official docks).
The silicon case is choice. It's not too 'rubbery' so it doesn't stick to things like other cases have in the past. It is extremely smooth. It feels like the soft touch paint along the frame, and adds the perfect amount of weight to the phone. I applied the included screen protector (film), which took a bit of 'finger grease' to cut back on the friction. Now, it feels similar to the standard glass (which was smooth as silk, similar to the Vibrant).
The generic GPS cradle is decent. No charging ports, but it serves a purpose. Pity the Car Home app is a bit buggy and not as handy as stock 2.2's application.
I'll be first in line to pick up the official docks when they are launched.

So it is two cases? I don't follow... What are the clear cases with the kickstand? How much was that one?

That is the case I am using I may take more pictures of others later tonight It is a 2 part case has a thin rubber underlying which the plastic overlays on to make one case.

I really like that white case, almost bought it last night. I just couldn't see spending $30 on it, that should be $20 at most. Waiting on some ebay knockoffs.

I got the clear case with the grey grip on the sides and i put it on a blk and am happy about it. Even with the case its not too much bigger than an i phone but the screen is bigger and it is lighter.

I have this exact case and it's just amazing!! I love it!
Case also includes a full screen protector.

That is a sweet case. I used one from OtterBox for my N1 called a "commuter case" and this is just like it.
The MT4G fits nice and snug and is very well protected.
Well worth the $30 imo.

[ REVIEW ] VIPERTEK Leather clip case quick review

This case is very nice. Especially for the price of under 15 bucks shipped. The leather is very soft, almost feels real haha. Might be... The clips are very secure, they do not block any ports, speakers etc. There is a nice "friction" styled clip that holds great closed. The different angles for viewing the tab are great too, very solid "lock up". The interior material is soft too.
In the end, you cant go wrong with this case.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005G19P7M

Not for Italy....thank you amazon!

I got it for $10 shipped from Amazon, and they are offering to refund the whole thing if you leave a review.

I don't think they are doing it anymore...
Sent from my Galaxy Tab!

I got my case yesterday, been waiting since August 24th or something for it lol. It was on backorder, but I got a paper saying if I did a review (not a 5 star.. I says just a review) I could get a refund. I will say I like this case a lot better than the Samsung one, for the main reason it has more angles. It does feel a bit more rough on the tab, but I like how all the ports/buttons are showing.
If you just need a case to hold your tab at angles while you use it, I think this is the cheapest case out there for it.

The Samsung official book case is very very nice, and super thin. But the viewing angles are horrible. I have this case on the way and will be going with this one for sure.

I just got a Galaxy Tab last week (gift from awesome girlfriend...) - ordered a 3 pack of screen protectors (Acase, not too bad) and this case on Amazon.
Ordered the case on Thursday, had it by Saturday (Amazon Prime). Looks like some people were waiting quite a while to get these.
I was hoping for a case that was made of fairly tight leather... you know how some cases look cheap because the leather is very poofy, has a lot of extraneous padding in it? So, this case still retains a slim sleek look, like a nice portfolio.
I like the microfiber inside with the three grooves for leaning the device into.
I wish the clip that held the case closed was like 2mm longer so it really reaches around the corner of the device and clips in solidly. It's held closed pretty well, but I've been bending it a bit to make it clasp just a bit tighter.
There's a little embossed viper logo on the front... some other brand on Amazon, equally cheap, had the Samsung logo on there.
In all, pretty great case for about $15 shipped.
The card I received in my package did instruct me to write a five star review for them, but DID NOT mention anything about getting a refund if you do so. I would say don't buy expecting to get it for free

I also just recieved this case. It's pretty slick, way better than the cheap eBay case I was using before (which cost twice as much.) Only complaint is that the case was mighty stinky to begin with, but its fine now.

this case is awesome and is way better than the official Samsung one. it did cause the newton ring, but I got rid of it. going to see if this trick works to keep the ring off.

This case is just superb for the price.

This case has been reviewed several times, although under different names. Search for "clip case." I got it free (after the refund). For me it's the best case on the market right now.

just ordered one of these just to have another spare. 15 cases to my collection. i really need to stop. this is getting ridiculous. lol.

Hahahah! You, sir, have what we call a case-by-case addiction!
These are exactly like the Pyro one you reviewed a while back. Can't beat the price though.

I agree, it's like the Pyrotek case. It looks a bit on the cheaper quality side, but I got it because I was tired of the wonky angles the official case was giving me.

So the only difference between this case and the Pyro case is that this one feels cheaper? It feels pretty nice to me. The price is just untouchable though. lol
I always wondered what the difference between this and the pyro case was.

yeah haha I dont know how come can consider this cheap lol price yeah but quality? Its pretty much to go to case for the tab. Its 15 bucks shipped, looks great, feels great, quality and craftsmanship is nice too.

Its just another case with the crappy stand design. Its not worth it. Look at the massive foot print it has when in stand mode. How can you use the device on your desk when the bottom case sticks out at you like a sore thumb. Very annoying.

It's a case and not a dock, dork.

If only there were an easy way to get one of these in Australia We need a bloody Amazon Australia quick smart.

I made my assessment from looking at task650's review on the Pyro Skin case.
When I look at my case, the clips that hold in the sides of the tab have so overlapping of the material (which I just trimmed off) the material that the tab stands up on for the angles has this grainy look on it, whereas on the pyroskin one, it looks smooth. There's the little notches on the 2nd stand that the pyroskin case has, that looks like it may promote a tighter close, where on this case the side clips just press onto it. Although all these observations could possibly be exclusive to my case.
That's what I made my observations on. I'm not saying it's a POS... because it's not; i'm just saying the quality LOOKS a bit on the cheaper side... which is fine by me because it was cheap as hell and it does it's job awesome.

[REVIEW][PICS]Qubits TPU Case

This case is pretty nice, I have the Diztronics Matte Case and this far superior.
EDIT: It appears I messed up with adding images, so I provided direct links to a Picasa album under the corresponding text.
First off, I'd like to point out its design.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694664838498885570
This case uses a combination of three forms of TPU.
The back uses two, and the side has the third. From the photo, the majority of the back is matte with a gloss design on the side of the back.
Now for the TPU on the actual sides on the phone:
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666212754847586
It's a nice textured form of TPU that provides a great amount of grip without making the phone impossible to slide in and out of a pocket or gather dust like silicon. It may just be that I'm fourteen, but I always found the Galaxy Nexus a bit slippery, or maybe it's because of this the darn phone gets, which looks great but isn't entirely practical.
The case itself doesn't add much to the size of the phone, but it provides decent, and very eye catching protection.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694664844600398466
The back of the case is also raised near the camera to prevent scratches that phones like the EVO were plagued with.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666188166111906
The volume buttons get a dedicated cover, as expected, but makes them feel mushy, but they're really small to begin with.
The cutouts on the phone are pretty big and shouldn't have any issues, and there is also a double-holed thing at the bottom for lanyards.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666177130719426
This is overall a great case, for its price its pretty hard to beat as well. You can find it here on Amazon.

Link to the buying site would be of great help bro

That looks like the cover I had on my Incredible. I liked it, especially when I cut it to fit my extended battery... hehe! Though I dont know if the material is the same.

I've had this since launch, it costed me ~£4 from ebay which I was really pleased with.
So far it has treated me well, feels good, looks pretty good and protects my phone.
I should receive the Diztronic Matte Case sometime next week, I was hoping for that to be an improvement on this! (OP doesn't think so! )

I like that. I am using the stock one from Verizon. I am still waiting for a good case, but this one is pretty nice. I want a clip too I think. However, I break clips by bumping into things

The button protectors were too stiff for my liking. It is very grippy though.

2 dollars from Ebay.

This is the only Galaxy nexus case I currently have, and boy does it get the job done for $2 from Amazon.
Almost got the cruzerlite but the price was right on Qubits.
Anyone know if I were to purchase an extended battery if it would fit with this case? Any extended batteries you'd recommend (for GSM) that won't break the bank (or my phone)

I ordered a clear one from amazon for $1.75. My old smoke TPU case was turning a bit yellow so I ordered this to replace it for a while. I'll post pics if anyone is interested.

Yeah I wouldn't mind seeing that thanks

Vaja Leather Grip Case

I was looking for a case that would protect the phone well and not be too bulky like an otter box and saw these.
Cant post links yet but its just vajacases
Anyone have one for their S3? I had one for my iphone 4s and it was a great case but wanted to hear from someone's experience before pulling the trigger.
Also if you have it, what color scheme did you pick ? And which S3 do you have ( pebble blue, white ) ?

They look really nice but they're a bit pricey. While I'm quite sure they are quality cases (I hope), there are too many less expensive alternatives, even genuine leather, out there for me to justify spending that much.
Here is the link for those who want to check them out.
