Looks like it has the FFC hole? if you get one would you let me know if it does or does not have the hole there?

Hmmm No defender? WTF?

Bingo. I'm going to support the company that listens to its customers, and buy a Trident case... since they're producing the thing that Otterbox should be.
yo

Sweet, I'll be getting one.

I thought the same thing when I purchased my trident case, now 2 weeks later I am wishing I held out for an otterbox.
I feel like the case does not offer much protection for the amount of bulk it adds considering I had to remove the screen protector in order to be able to use the whole keyboard in portrait mode.
I will be buying an Otterbox when they come out.

Same here. The Trident case would be perfect if the screen protector was better. It scratches easily. I am going to remove the built in protectector and put one of my Realook protectors on.
As far as Otterbox...I'm disappointed that they waited so long to do this. Most of us have had the Vibrant since this summer. I have a Case-Mate & Trident. Now I'm wondering if I even need the otterbox (even though it DOES look sweet!).

Yea, I mean ... it's not a big deal that it has a small little hole for the FFC.
Also, if you look at the case for the Galaxy S and Vibrant, they look identical. Maybe because since it's not available yet they just used the same picture of the case to give us an idea of what it'll look like .

It looks as tho it may just be a separate screen protector they are talking about. Because in the pics they show of it , it doesn't appear to have on attached to the case itself
This is exactly what I need!..seeing as how I just dropped mine and cracked the screen :-(

Just purchased..will submit a review when it gets here some time next year...im currently using the body glove case...nice case..but i have dropped it twice and the whole thing fell apart, damaging the phone..whats the point of a case if it cant take damage? i wouldve much rather spend the 30 bux on something like this otterbox if it was available at the time..Cheers all!
This is fantastic been waiting months for this, cant wait to order mine!
God I hate threads that do not provide links!!!!!!!! I should not have to search their website for info on this case when someone creates a thread to discuss the product....

Took less than 10 seconds to open a new tab, type "otterbox" into siad new tab's address bar, hit ctrl+enter, then select Samsung, and then Vibrant from their dropdown menu and view the item of your desire. I would have posted the link, but since this is only my 3rd post I am not allowed to. Have fun storming the castle!
I recently got the phone and wanted to show you guys an alternative holster that i havent seen on here. i have the ballistic and zagg but wanted to get the siedio but it came out the day after i got all this lol but overall im very happy with this setup. The Case is a reiko PH01-XXLBK
Also i got a square trade warranty from the app on the phone for 2 years for 99 and 50 deductible if someone is looking for a good deal on aftermarket warranty.
here are some pics.
Doesn't it make you look like a tourist with that case on your belt?

Where did you get the Ballistic from? Yours looks different than the others I have seen. Specificly the way it covers the phone on the front. The others dont have that little drop down in the upper right-hand corner.
I wish this came in other colors besides all black and I'd definitely buy it. With this case, is it still feasible for in and out of pocket maneuvering ??
just got it from ballistics. love the case. the velcro case is awesome, fits perfect and looks very professional with my uniform.

I dont doubt you, but look at what I found. I dont know why these are sold as T-989 if they are not. I wonder whats up here. Could it be boot-leg cases? But they are being sold on Amazon. I dont get it.

where did you purchase the reiko? everywhere i am checking it's sold out.
thanks
i went to one of those universal shops in the mall and had them order it for me. it was like 15 bucks. works great.
Those are some of the ugliest cases with the corners...I mean I guess that ads alot shock absorbent but I can't get past how awkward it looks to try it out

Hey fellas,
Today I'm reviewing a classic case, the Diztronic matte black TPU case. Affordable and reliable clearly describe this case. It is a simple TPU case that features a matte black coating while keeping a slim and streamlined form factor. Fits great on the device while staying comfortable to hold. Offers great scratch protection but only minimal drop protection.
Check out the full review below for more info;
You need to align the phone perfectly from the top before popping in the bottom. I have the same case and its not misaligned like that
I have the same case too and it is perfectly aligned, btw great video.

A lot of people seem to be telling me that, I've tried realigning the case multiple times now, so I'm thinking it may be a defect with this particular one. I'll test out the others I have and check that out.

decent case prefer my Thin Snap back thx cheers mate..
I know this has probably been asked about a thousand times (if not more) and you're all probably sick of answering it, but searching for the word "clear" and "case" in the forum shows up a ton of stuff, so I figure it might be easier for me to just ask outright.
I'm basically looking for a clear, or as close to clear case as I can get, to protect my S3 but without adding too much bulk and weight. I have the blue S3 and I don't see the point in putting a black case around it, so does anyone know of any? I was looking on Amazon and they have a load of clear TPU cases (that are all pretty cheap) but I worry about getting third party or unofficial cases incase they cover the ports or something silly
So yeah, hit me with your recommendations guys and gals! And thanks

I have order two different clear cases and will be doing reviews of them as soon as they come in, which should be next Monday at the latest. Both of the ones I ordered were advertised and pictured as completely clear. You are right - there are a ton of them out there and, while seemingly the same, I don't think they are. I'll have pictures/impressions if you don't mind being patient. However, I'm sure you'll get plenty of results in this thread.
Good Luck!
Awesome! I look forward to your reviews. Would you mind posting the links in here when you put them up, just so that I definitely look at them and find them easily?
Thanks a lot

I have a clear TPU case from Handhelditems.com and I really can't rave enough about it. Super thin, fits great, and is totally transparent. For the price you can't beat it.

I just got this case last night and haven't had enough time with it to write/record a proper review, so I thought I'd direct you to my pictures of it in another thread on this forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30362349&postcount=50
My first impressions: very light and virtually zero bulk. The case must be less than 1mm thick, so you can hardly notice that is even there. It clearly (no pun intended) will protect the back of the phone quite well; however, one can notice that the top and the bottom of the phone aren't well protected. This is unfortunately the drawback to non-bulky hard cases, and other shell cases have the same issue (such as my elago G5 Breathe Case that I posted in that same forum thread). I will be getting other clear cases in the coming days and should be able to post pictures and impressions of them in this forum.

That's the one i'm using right now. It's a "Frosted" clear case... in that it's not entirely transparent, but you can still see some blue through it. Can actually still see the AT&T and Galaxy S3 logo's plain as day for some odd reason through it. If you'd like, i could snap a few quick pics.
Beware: Those clear (transparent) cases, tend to turn yellow over time.
I have the one from Monoprice as well. I really like it, and for the price, you can't beat it if you want a clear case and minimum bulk.

Nice but...
Nice, but expensive!
Agreed. They're known for being pricey.
Great. Thanks for posting this.
I have had Noreve cases before....they are always very high quality leather.
I like the thiness.
Very tempting !
I just bought this one 4 days ago. It's a ROCK.

Update:
Couldn't resist, I just bought it !
It's perfectly designed in my opinion. I don't think one will find a better case. Much better than Samsung's case.
Since I purchased several items before from Noreve, they gave me a special certificate and I got a $23.00 discount. It only cost me AUD $70.00.
I will mostly likely sell my ROCK case !

How do you like the Rock Case? Any good? What about the insides? Any chance it will scratch up the finish of the Note because the edges don't look very soft.
Also, does it hold on nice and tight? I noticed there is a strap on the back; how exactly do you get it to wrap around the front? Couldn't find any videos for it.
What color is yours? I'd be interested in picking it up if you can ship overseas.
Rock Case---Ebay US has it up on there site. I ordered from there last week- Shipped from China. I should have it in a few days and will post some comments and pix. I like the look of the Rock case.

I was actually planning on buying one for myself, but now that I've checked out the pictures on their website, I'm not that impressed. Their case for Galaxy Tab 2 seemed a bit more premium than this, in my view...

It hasn't arrived yet. Should be here any day now.
I believe the strap is made of some sort of elastic as a photo shows it being wrapped around the case on their ebay sites.

Yes, I'll post some pictures when it arrives. But the site says that it is not due until the 13th.
Didn't see the Tab one. But I haven't really seen anything better that's real leather and is designed with all the important design features that are really important to me.

The biggest thing going for the Noreve IMO, besides the fantastic quality is the all around protection it offers the device around the bezel area. Most of the other cases that look good seem to just cover the device at the corners.
I was waiting for the Samsung case but could not resist this case, it really does look awesome. I noticed on the site that they had two styles but I chose the one on the Op's link as I did not want one with a magnetic fastener.
The site advised that they manufacture/hand make it within 14 days. I ordered the dark brown one, they call it Châtaigne.
I really hope I won't be disappointed with this case.
Edit: link below shows both designs:

I just ordered the sable vintage version of the case linked in the OP's post. I was thinking I'd order the Zenu case, but as it's not yhet available, and I wasn't overly keen on the embossing all over it, I think this one will do the trick.

After looking at the current selection of Zenus cases, I'm back on the Noreve bandwagon. Good looking to a fault, and classic.
