Boondock *10/28/10* New Design Up

Check it out. Made it with some sold scrap metal I had around the shop. I will get more pics when I put some spray on it.

Here it is all finished. The bolts make it so I can tilt the phone more forward or back by loosening or tightening the jam nuts. Comes in handy when watching video. I put some VW lug covers on the head of the bolts to protect the case of the phone. Not bad for a days work.

Sweet!

wouldnt really consider that ghetto. have you seen the ****ers around here using the cardboard box the phone came in? or the guys using paperclips?
he could probably market this to iphone owners as some industrial steampunk phone stand, get "Made for iPhone" stamped on the box and sell these for $200 all day long.

You know, I was thinking the same thing. Im going to make another for my touch pro 2. I will post pics asap.

What case is that on the phone? I just ordered a Vibrant (it'll be here tomorrow. Can't wait!) and I'm looking for a good case to put it in. That one looks pretty nice. I was a bit disappointed to find that Otterbox doesn't make a case for the Vibrant.

Its just a rubber case from the T-mobile store. I got it when I got the phone. It was only like $15 and it fits real nice.

love to see it. i'm a car guy too. buddy of mine made some lamps out of old cams, cranks and turbine housings from some shot turbos he had in his garage.
i like to see stuff like this. lots of people dont have an open enough mind to figure stuff like this out.

Nice Job. Money tight? I hear ya.

New Dock
This is my new one, for my touch pro2. Same basic design as the first, but a little rougher around the edges. It also fits my vibrant really well. I think Im going to play around with fiberglass and see what I come up with. I did body work for awhile, and I can sling mud with the best of them.

TPU-Cases.com has a few

TPU-Cases.com has a limited selection available already. My last two phones have been lovingly wrapped in these. Excellent customer service, great price/quality value.

The pics on the two black ones look right. It's probably Photoshopped but given my order history and communications with them I do trust these guys to actually send the right product.

i have one of these coming to me, already shipped. Luckily I got it for free to review, and i will post up pics and reviews once i get my epic on friday evening.

I got mine yesterday. It's the right one even if the pic is wrong. I got the blue glitterflex.

This place seems to have a variety of cases in stock for the Epic 4G Touch. I've never ordered anything from them.
wwwDOTaccessorygeeksDOTcom/samsung-epic-4g-touch-rubberized-hard-case-blue.html

Got my review case from TPU, matte back black. Will post a review come Friday [:

I've already received mine without a phone to put it in
Order from this place, the guy is great, a great supporter of xda and the prices are even better.

I also have a case from TPU, and my 1st impression on it is very good. Nicely made, looks good, and doesn't look like it will add much thickness to the phone at all (thin is one of my main desires from a phone + case combo). I'm most likely gonna buy a couple other cases from them, just to get some different colors and such

Ordered Tuesday night and got my smoke grey tpu case today. Going to take it to the sprint store tomorrow and slap it in on as soon as its activated.

I picked up my Epic 4G Touch this morning so I'll get better pictures posted to our website and Amazon shortly.
The cases fit the phone great and look even better. However the free screen protectors we included are a failure. We kept the price the same on our cases so really they were just freebies anyways but I'm sure some of you will still be a bit disappointed. They are cut to be the EXACT size of the screen which makes it almost impossible (I tried 5 times and couldn't do it) to get them on without the sides bubbling. Not sure what we will do about this yet. For the time being I'm going to stop advertising them as coming with a free screen protector (they still will though) so people aren't counting on them. I'll let you guys know when I have a solution to the screen protector issue.

The case fits great, but man is the matte finish make for a slippery surface!
Any chance you will consider making a cut out for the volume keys, kind of hard to push.
Great product, as always

Wow, this kind of honesty from a company/retailer is surprising. Honestly makes me want to give them my business... Please keep us updated if you have a solution/suggestions for the screen protector issue.

Good wallet/diary style case?

I'm looking for a good book/diary/wallet style case for my new T-Mobile Galaxy SII. Something like the BookBook case for the iPhone:
http://twelvesouth.com/products/bookbook_iphone/
or this case for the international Galaxy SII:
http://www.bizwinkorea.com/tablet-p...ine-leather-diary-wallet-type-case-cover.html
I'd kinda want it to look like a leatherbound book, but that's not as important as it actually being leather. I do want it to have pockets opposite where the phone sits to hold money, cards, etc.
Anyone seen anything like this?

None? Nobody's seen anything like this?

Honestly bro I looked high and low for a case like this and it just isn't out yet. There's an OEM product called "Samsung d30 t989 leather slip cover" coming out sometime in the next few months that can be found with Google if you search the quoted phrase. The one case I found like what your asking turned out to be an incompetent eBay seller labeling **** for the international gs2 like it would work for ours.

eeeewwwwww.......
i don't like those cases, yes, they have their good uses, but... not my type
i can see many scenario and situation when & where i might want to use one, but it's not worth the cost
just search for something similar, you don't need an exact fit for those type of cases, look for another phone with similar size spec, and find it

any updates on this case?

bump for great justice. i really like the twelve south case

dont buy for talkietech or wirless age or something like that, they both dicked me around for two weeks and told me not in stock, there is a guy on ebay from hong kong that has stich color options for pd case, but i got the original from the website above

I ordered a "black Napa leather case" off Amazon. Nice quality but so thick it could hold 2 sgs2's and way too wide. Clearly not made for our phone.

This case is exactly what I want but it's only for iPhone and the measurements don't match.... our phones are too wide

I've been searching for the same thing. I found this one and I really like it. Although the camera and speaker holes are wrong. Might get it and try it out anyway..

I guess, given that there's no hole on the back for camera or speakers, it should work just fine. I don't know how much different our phone is from the original GS2.
Still, at $40, I guess I'd like to hear from someone who has my phone and has bought the case.

I emailed the seller and asked for some pics of the actual item. I'm sure it's an i9100, but here ya go. Looks nice none the less. I may pick one up.

I axially bought one of these and I really like it. It doesn't line up with the holes for the touch buttons perfectly, but my x-acto took care of that easily. Seems to be pretty good quality. I've been using it for about a month.

Thanks for bringing this product to my attention. They also have a deal on a free case with a order. I just placed my order. Thanks again man.

Thanks for posting, I ordered it.
The free cases were unavailable

I cant believe people are paying $30 for that.
Pay me $25 and I will train you on how to hold your phone. Deal?

I think this is great. Ordered 2. Couldn't leave the gf out. She saw it and said "i need that for my galaxy note".

I wanted to see the free case that comes with it. However, I really like the idea. I could purchase an extra back for my phone so I could just swap backs when I am leaving the house. I WISH I could see this in stores first as I have watched the video on how to tell which size to use, but I am not sure as to how far down on my fingers I would hold the phone. I also would like to see how easy it would be to pull the adhesive of; I would hate to substitute this as a case and then be out in the Texas heat with this thing on and the adhesive wear off, sending my $600 phone plummeting to its death. However, pretty good review I will keep my eyes on this accessory.
Oh, and I am also curious as to much thicker the small and medium
TL;DR: I need to see this in person first before I spend $30.

It's good that there is free shipping but after watching the videos the guy did say that they are available at Inmotion stores...mostly
in airports. Here is a link to the site.

Put that good phone to use and give them a ring to make sure it is in stock before you go.

Just got this today. The thing looks quite functional, but I wonder how durable it is in the long run?
The case seems like generic black TPU, feels a bit rubbery. Although, I haven't owned a phone case in a while so I can't say. I'm on the fence about it, but will put it through its paces before passing judgment.

Training us to hold the phone is not the point. I can't even reach the Menu button or a lot of real estate on this phone much less hold it without the threat of dropping it while trying to operate one handed. With one of these my thumb will be able to reach all areas of the screen with no danger of me dropping the phone. There are many times when one-handed usage is ideal, but this phone is so large for most it's not possible. I bought one just the other day and only wish I had happened upon this thread first to get the free shipping. Did get a free case, though.

Just wondering if once on is there any method to loosen the adhesive to take it off. Due to dropping my first phone I have an extra case as well as an extra battery. I'm planning on using both cases-will place Flygrip on one and leave the other original. I'm just thinking I might not like the color (I ordered white for my blue S3) and may order another color and take the first one off.

Does it affects the phone signal ?

2 things:
1) Phone signal. Both CF and AL are NOT RF transparent.
2) IR blaster. It's covered.
That is all.

This in theory. I don't have the case. All I'm saying is, unless the people who designed this case are absolute genii, this case is either a) going to have signal issues or b) be made out of materials other than just CF and AL.

Just recieved mine today, the red with black back, im not keen as it makes the phone look quite big, reception wise i didnt keep it on long enough to fully tell, but it did knock a bar off my reception, also ir/power button is metal so ir blaster will not work with case on.

good thing you didn't buy it, it looks amazing the bad things are,
its incredibly bulky and very bad reception
i usually had 1-2 bars at home not good reception but something.
NOW i have completely no reception. I'm not using this case. it is completely horrible for me.
I even researched online where the antenna of the phone is and the whole back is an antenna, but because of the case all the antennas are touching each other.
Like this phone has the same issue as the iphone 4 (bad grip) signal issue. not complaining i love the phone more then any other phone out there. just with it had better reception or i had better reception at home

The back cover look too shiny for me, but look forward to seeing your review on metal bumper.

I had some ebay bucks so I grabbed one I will post some pics when i get it and post a review.

DO NOT BUY THIS CASE! I just got mine and it just feels cheap, the "carbon fiber" backing is not good, but I would say the worst part is the chrome sides, if they just left it all one color and didn't have the "bling" studs on the case it would be much better. Also doesn't help as soon as I out it on just for kick my reception tanked. Stay far away, I'm glad I just spend some spare eBay bucks on it and not any money.

Thanks for that I was just about to buy one as well.

In addition to the signal issue and the IR blaster being covered, there may be a third problem -- the noise-cancellation microphone hole on the right upper corner of the back is covered by the case. This will very likely affect the clarity of voice, as the noise cancellation mechanism is impaired.
