Hello,
I was picked to do a review of the Roocase Dual View Case. I've had it almost two weeks and here are my initial impressions.
Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of the packaging but it came well packaged and in perfect condition. Getting the tablet into the case was easy and it feels very well protected. The texture is a nice leather feel and the inside is a soft fiber.

The case also came with a stylus that also works as a pen. Works nice though I haven't really felt a need for a stylus.
The case closes easily via the magnet and triggers the screen on and off.
You can put the tablet in a landscape stand easily.
It does sit pretty well in this position and is a snap.
To put it in portrait but standing you need to pull the velcro apart and reattach it sideways with the outer part of the case.

This didn't balance too well and fell over a couple times. I probably just didn't have the right technique. Not really a position I ever use anyway.
The case does add more thickness than I'd like so it is hard to hold one handed for me when I want to read.

It also can be a bit of a challenge to touch the edges of the screens (especially in landscape when trying to touch the bottom) due to the case wrapping around the front a bit.
All in all I do like the case though it's bulkier than the MoKo Slim Fit case I have been using. It offers more protection and is easier to stand up then my other case which you need to pop out one side of the tablet to get it to stand.
In the two weeks I've had this case it's worked very well my tablet seems very protected. Case looks and feels like new yet and should last forever. For your money it's a great deal!
Thank you for the opportunity to review.

Didn't really see anyone get something like this, so I ordered it and I'll review it once it gets here.

Leather case
I also ordered this armband, so i'll review that too.
Armband
Thanks for the effort here, and the expense put into it. I havent seen the arm band before - I have seen the leather cases, and have wondered how they fit and how well they protect. Looking forward to your reviews.... post up some pics too?
I have purchased 3 or leather holsters from ebay for my Atrix.
Still haven't found anything I liked.
Got the leather case (1st one) depicted today. It is a good case for being under $10, but I was disappointed when I overlooked the fact that it doesn't have a cut out for the power button / fingerprint scanner! I just cut one with an craft knife, but would not recommend the case because of that. Still waiting on the second one. (Should upload pictures soon)
The arm band looks interesting. Will the phone fit in it with case on like the otterbox commuter?

Kinda figured there wouldn't be a cutout for the power button/fingerprint reader based on the pictures of it. Though, i kinda find it funny that i can't seem to click on the different pictures on their page to get a better view. Unless it's just an issue with Chrome.
I'm actually quite a fan of Pure.Gear's leather snap-on case. At first i wasn't sure about it... but after using it... it's quite nice. slippery enough to slide into your pocket... yet enough grip that when holding it, it doesn't feel like it's going to slide out of your hand. fair bit thicker than the other snap-on cases made by Pure.Gear...
I was extremely paranoid about scratching my screen. However, I have the absolute worst luck when it comes to install a screen protector with NO bubbles. Im kinda OCD, and if i install a screen protector and there is even 1 single small bubble I have to throw it away and start over. After many failed attempts, I started looking for cases with screen protection built in. I ran across this case on Amazon...

At only $8.95 I thought this was a steal. Judging by the photos it looked like it could do the job of a screen protector and case just fine. In fact, it would probably protect the screen BETTER than just a regular screen protector in case it falls.
After using the case for a day now, I can say I am extremely pleased with it, especially since its so cheap . Using the Gnex with this case actually feels more comfortable in my hands than without. Here is a run down:
PROS:
Feel more comfortable to hold.
Magnetic clip makes it easy to secure case.
Material feels great.
Really gives a sense of protection.
Phone feels really secure once placed inside.
You can use the extended battery (see images below).
Cons:
With the extended battery, the on button can be a little difficult to press
Can add a little too much bulk for some people.
Taking the phone out of the case can feel difficult. Try too hard and it will pop out so be prepared.
With extended battery, the device slightly rises above the plastic clip.

To sum it up, if you want a case that can also provide screen protection on the cheap, you should check this case out
Anybody try the Incipio feather case yet?
Review?
http://www.myincipio.com/Samsung-Ga...-Touch-feather-Ultralight-Hard-Shell-Case.asp
Thanks!
I've had mine for about a month now, maybe a little longer, and I absolutely love mine. It gives quite a bit more grip, and it doesn't add much added volume at all. It's quite durable and I like how the black blends right in (I have the black obviously). Got mine off of Amazon I believe. The front has a very small lip on it to protect the face, and it's just thick enough to protect the camera as well.

from the pictures it appears as thought the corners of the phone are completely exposed. can you confirm this? last thing I need is a big chunk out of the corner after I drop it
I examined the pictures as closely as I could and decided against this case for exactly that reason. I'm going to try a case-mate barely there case. It looks very similar but after looking at some Youtube reviews it looks like it has more protection for the corners and a bit more for the top and bottom of the phone.
Here are some pictures in pink for high contrast.

Case-Mate:
I ordered the Case-Mate in black. I will take some pics and review once it arrives.
Here's a video review I saw:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gLaPnLw7-w
Not sure if anyone is still contemplating this case, but I just picked one up since US Cellular is now carrying them for their Galaxy S2 phone (it's the same as ours).
Anyways, the case is istantly my new favorite. Very low profile design and makes the phone a lot easier to hold. The pictures from the Incipio website are very misleading about how the corners are protected. I will try and post some pics a little later...
I bought one within days of picking my phone up. Have bought a TPU and silicone case. This is by far my favorite. I have the white E4GT and the black Incipio looks bad ass on it.
Want it even lighter? Take off the battery door and then put it in your feather...
So this is a review of a nice dual-protection case from tmart.com! It's called the Hard Shell Silicone Case, and it comes in a few colors. I chose the black and gray because it looks best with my white GS3. honestly, I was never into big cases, but i think i'm going to run this case for a while because it just feels nice, and does add a bit more protection!
here's a few pics:

so like i said, the case feels nice and sturdy. it's not TOO bulky, but it's bulkier than i'm used to (basic TPU cases like zoogue, diztronic etc) but again, it does add some protection. it reminds me of a Ballistic dual protection case, honestly. and it's so cheap that it's totally worth it to try it out!
really no cons. everything seems to line up well...at first, though, I noticed when I was taking pictures with flash, there seemed to be a darker spot to the left in the image. upon further inspection, it seemed the flash/camera hole weren't lined up perfectly. all i had to do was take the phone out and re-align it within the case, and this was solved. so, it's not an issue, it's just like every other case out there where it has to be put in perfectly for everything to align well. (i had the same issue with diztronic and zoogue, where the charge port hole wouldn't line up and the charger would fall out.)
the charger port hole seems cut out well, but bigger usb ends don't stay in well. the samsung one is fine, but if you're using another brand (i have a blackberry USB laying around) it kind of wiggles so you really have to make sure it's in.
in the end, this case is awesome! totally worth it for the price!

After I received my latest order from TVC-Mall, I realized that by mistake I got S4 mini case, so I figured to write a short review about it anyway since it looks so damn cool!!! The one I received is: http://www.tvc-mall.com/details/Sam...her-Stand-Case-Green-Dark-Blue-MLC-I9190-25G/
This is another example when you have very low expectations when something cost only $3.60, and once you take it out of the box it makes you scratch your head of how far they pushed the envelope this time. The case comes in a very cool transparent package, but it's not just cheap looks when you take it out of the box. This is diary/wallet style case with a magnetic latch. It comes in bi-color design with bright lime/green inside and blue denim-looking exterior with green stitching. I don't even have a phone to test it out, so I tried taking a lot of detailed pictures for you to get an up close view. The inner case is soft TPU, and looks like it has a nice wrap around fitment for a full side/corner protection and even a lip around the screen. I assume all the cutouts for power/volume/camera/flash/speaker/headphone/mic/charger ports are aligned perfectly. The flip cover has two pockets for credit cards or driver license and another large vertical pocket for bills. There is also a cutout to close the cover while talking on the phone leaving a speaker next to your ear open. And I see there is a hole on the side to attach a lanyard. Furthermore, once opened the case folds to form a kickstand, typical for such folio cases. Overall, I was very impressed with a quality and a finish, and for $3.60 - its a steal considering some TPU cases by itself cost more than that. Plus, it comes in variety of different colors. Here are the pictures of the one I got.

Thanks for the review!
One questions though... Does the molded plastic portion of the case that holds the phone in place feel cheap? Not sure if it's just the shine it has but it doesn't look like that part is well built.
