Fake Leather Sleeve-- review + pics - G Pad 8.3 Accessories

I wanted an inexpensive sleeve that offered a little bit of protection without adding too much bulk. This sleeve is well made and is the perfect combo of size/padding. I ordered the Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 size, but I am using this for an LG G Pad 8.3. The G Pad has similar measurements, just a hair smaller in all dimensions except for thickness. The G Pad fits in nicely and pulls out smoothly. It is dark brown even though it looks black in some of the pictures, with a lighter brown microfiber interior.
The best part for me was the price. I got it for $2.14, shipped. It looks like now it is available only as an add-on item, but still for $1.99.

This is what it looks like if you shove it in all the way, but a more natural fit is shown above.

I also have this. A very good sleeve for its price, I bought it for 1p (yes 1p but with £1.99 postage, in total £2 )
A very happy purchase :laugh: although it smelt kinda funky when it first came.

Looks like an excellent bargain,I'm going to get one.Thanks for posting.:good:

Me too! £2 very well spent! Although I am still trying to find a very slim case....

Mine arrived today and I really like it - thanks again to the OP

Got an awesome deal today!

So I bought the vertical leather belt case t mobile has specifically for the vibrant a few days ago and wasn't feeling it (was extra thin and poked my belly when I sat down). So today I went to return it to get the horizontal one, but they were out.
I walked around to see if I could find something similar, and boom; one of their universal holdsters fits mine, but it was a little loose, then I remembered I was gonna get the gel case, so I went ahead and got that. Tried them together and it was like magic!
Here it is without the gel skin:

Here it is with it on:
Some more pictures to show fitment and size and such.
Total was 2 (universal case was on sale) and got the gel case for 14.99 =16.99
Much better that the 24.99 for the vertical case I bought in tyre beginning.
the SKU for the case on clearance is SUPA31526.
Thats the same exact case I used to use for my G1 and I think when you ask for it I think they said it was typically used for the wing.
I might have to check this out, even tho i don't really wear the cases.
and why does your screen look like stucco?

I looked at that case, but didnt like the snaps.
The Droid X case also works very well with the phone and gel case, but you will have to go to a Verizon store to get it.

Zizo Wireless Case

Hey guys just picked this case up on Saturday. Got it from the mall. Pretty sure this brand is the kind that you see at all those little mall kiosks that sell cell phone accessories. Anyways, the case is pretty much perfect. It is slim and painted matte black. The matte color lets you grip the phone way better than the stock gloss backing.
I had the original T-Mobile silicon case and I couldn't stand the bulk and how it would not slide into my pocket. This case is opposite in every way to that case. Slim and not sticky.
All of the buttons and the micro slider are VERY easy to access. No trouble what-so-ever.
I have the link posted to the manufacturer, but I don't see the exact case I have listed. Weird. The woman in the mall also had crystal clear and a black smokey version.
Hope this helps some of you guys who are waiting for the SGP. I couldn't wait any longer. I paid 20 for this case. I totally got scammed, they go for like 10 bucks on the net, but I couldn't wait.

i have the same case i got mine from cellaris
I didn't like this case because after taking it on/off a few times, the right side where the power button is started to creak whenever i pressed on it. I guess its not a big deal considering that its les than $10 on eBay, but it was kind of annoying for me.
Oops, thought this was different case till i looked closer. Looks decent but not a fan of the split case design. Tend to wear out quickly.

Holster Style Case - Recommendation

Hi all,
I have my Cyan 900 on order and I'm looking for a holster style case - like this Rocketfish product (http://www.rocketfishproducts.com/products/mobile-phones-gps/RF-WR559.html). I had this for my Focus and it was great. Soft faux leather, soft interior, with a magnetic clasp.
Anyway, given that the 900 is new, there isn't much available. So, comparing the dimensions, Motorola Droid RAZR and HTC Titan are close in size. However, seaching for a holster style case (horizontal) for these cases yielded limited results. Does anyone have any suggestions for a horizontal, holster styled case?
Thanks
Looking for the same thing
If your Focus fit in it there is a good chance the NL900 will too. I have a Focus and I use a Golla phone wallet and the NL900 fits perfect in it. I plan on spending the full $100 in promo $ when I go into the At$t store on Monday and pick up mine.

Cheap and looks nice. I tried an all black case with my blue phone and it didnt look good.
Paying 20 - 30 for the same quality is just ridiculous.
The only catch here is that its EXACTLY the length of the phone so if you are looking good corner protection if you drop it in the case move on.
It was snug the first day but has loosened up to the point now after 4 days that it fits nicely. AT first I had to push it in to one side at a slight angle then drop it in but now it almost falls in smoothly.
The shipping to TX was 3 business days. I ordered on Fridayfrom eBay after the phone pre-order and had it on Tuesday

Slim Snap on case

Was searching high and low for a slim snap on case, I phoneish style. (only thing I like about the iPhone are the cases) finally found one so I thought I'd share. Good feel to it. Only downside is the buttons are a little flushed so its a harder to press, not too bad though. It comes with a clip too.

Looks nice but that item on Amazon looks completely different
This case came out soon after the first release of s2. I used this case for awhile.. but I dropped it a cople of times over tiles and back started cracking from the middle. Also one of the piece that holds the phone (There's 3, 1 at the bottom and 2 on the sides) just broke off one day.
I paid $15. I am currently looking for something again like this that I can use it to hold the phone on my belt for work. Not sure if I'll buy it again.
Design is not that nice but I think in the end, the value was there.
i have this case dropped several times never had a crack and saved my phone like the kick stand too,got it on amazon for 5$ cant beat that

Why pay 25$ when you can have it for less than 10 shipped? Still pretty durable and slick

Good case that's available in the UK!

Hi guys,
I bought this case the other day, after buying a £14 360 degree rotation case on ebay at the same time I bought my Note 10.1... It was cool, cause you could separate the case, and use just the inner case without the cover bit, but it was crap quality. It felt crap, wasn't lined, the camera on the front wasn't lined up, and I wasn't satisfied.
Upon looking for another case that I could buy that was in the UK, I found the "The Pad'" 'folio case' by Shocksock....
It's only a few quid more than the other case I bought, but is miles better. Everything lines up really well, and the case, while not oozing quality, feels nice, and looks smart. There is a couple of sharp feeling sticky-outy threads, where the sewing has been done, and the thread cut, but other than that, it's great. It's a shame it's not seperatable, but it's just miles better, and reasonable IMO for £20. I certainly couldn't find anything that looked better, so took a punt. It can also be positioned at any angle, due to a hard velcro ridge at the bottom of the tablet that sticks into and on the lining of the cover. The magnet seems a little weak, but it's closing nicer now the Note has settled into the case and stretched it in the right places - It also feels cushioned and very protective... recommended.

Thanks for the pics, that does look very good for 20 quid!
The design is different from a lot of the cases up for sale available via links on this forum.
One question though, is there a gap/cut out for the S-pen?
Unfortunately this came a little too late for me though, I purchased the original Samsung book case in dark grey and have a noreve leather one on order.
It's BULKY!
