Thought this was worth passing on. Been looking for a N1 case and came across Waterfield Designs SFBags - WaterField Designs - Laptop Bags - Laptop Sleeves - Checkpoint Friendly - Travel Cases - Made in USA. I was looking for something minimalist, and inexpensive, but not cheap, and they offer a product called the Suede Jacket for the N1 that seemed to fit the bill. In addition I, like many of you, am always looking for a good cause and through February 28, 2010, they will donate 5% of all Nexus One case sales to the international medical humanitarian organization, Doctors Without Borders, for Haiti earthquake victim relief. Again, for those of you who are looking for a case at a good price ($9.00) and contribute to a good cause, check out this company. Their customer support has been great so far, and I will be doing a review when I receive the product.
Link would of been nice but since I decided to search myself...
http://www.sfbags.com/products/nexus-one-suede-jacket/nexus-one-suede-jacket.htm
It looks good, little expensive IMO. 9 for just the sleeve and 13 for a sleeve with a pocket. Maybe if it was 5 bucks for the sleeve and 9 for the sleeve with a pocket I might bite. But seeing how a portion of this is going to Haiti that's understandable.. I'll give them that.
For me it's just a little too $ for something so simple that I can make at home with my sowing machine(though i'm sure most of you don't have one) I actually made the same thing but white for my iPod Touch about a year ago.
SFBags makes awesome stuff. Made in USA (last time I checked) ... I have a laptop bag of theirs, which was expensive, but it still looks new 3 laptops later
I looked at the bags, what is different in the bag they provides for the Nexus one with the sleeve which is supplied in the nexus one package?
Thanks.

So is this a sleeve/pouch the phone slides into, or is it like a gel case?
its similar to the neoprene case that comes with the phone, but since its suede its thinner material and allows the audio(which is already quiet) pass through a little better, PLUS this also has a small pocket on one side that can be used as a credit / id / business card pocket
Awesome sleeve
Just wanted to bump this thread because of an awesome product.
I just dropped my N1 on concrete while trying to get in my car/fiddling with keys . That's about a 4 ft drop. luckily it was in this sleeve. no scratches whatsoever. I have their neoprene sleeve for my laptop but this suede jacket is awesome. It feels just like a thin piece of cloth but it very resilient and cleans the screen too. not bulky at all.
Hi there.
Does anyone know how to buy from these guys? Can't find any internet-shop on their site or something.

Also, can PDair be trusted? This case looks nice.

I love my PDAir Case
Thanks for the answers. I think I'll try to buy PDAair. The problem is I'm from Russia, so I don't know how would they deliver it to me.
Hello
I ordered this book case from PDair in hong kong. The delivery time to Germany was 14 days (to air mail). Without Problems, no custom duties.
I can recommend this case, it is accurately fitted and made in good quality.
PDair can be trusted.

sweet case my friend, no need to worry. I mean free shipping, plus a quality leather keyring was what i got out of the whole deal, um... cant complain hey...
had the book case from PDair for like more than a month now. only complain is that it will begin to lose. it was very tightly fitted when new but now my phone can drop out of the case just by shaking it twice. lol. oh, mine also looking old pretty fast. just more than a month and it's looking rugged. LOL. maybe due to my roughness though.
Great!!!
PDair is a prefect shop which they provide service good and with positive reputation in the would, More than your money's worth
I will recommend it to my friends also.
"Qazer Hi, have anyone this soft silicone case? Is it quality? "
I have bought and used by approximately 15 days is perfect and the material seems excellent.
Translated with Google Translator
Have been using the silicone case for about a month now.
Pros:
-good protection in case you drop the phone,
-the phone is not slippery any more so the chances of droping it are minimized
-better protection in case someone spills a glass of water on the table you have your phone on (personal experience )
-it is virtually impossible to scratch your phone
-the extra size added to the phone is minimall
cons:
-at first the phone is a bit uglier (after a while u get used to it)
-can`t put it in a pocket with the same ease due to the fact that it is not as slippery as before.
-each time you want to remove the back cover (micro sd or sim swapping)
you have to take off the case.
personally i recommend it..
how can i buy a silicon case? only is the corean shipping from ebay the one source?_a
I bought mine from ebay.
As far as i can remember that guy would ship the case worldwide,
so i think there shouldn`t be a problem shipping to Hungary.
Don`t worry about customs because something of such low value
wouldn`t have custom`s charge (at least here in Greece)
silicone case
hi all, i am using the silicone case now...before i was using the pdair pouch...
the pouch offers a better protection to the screen, bt the silicone case is definitely lighter and less bulky.
I am also switching from pdair--it is a very nice, high quality case but as mentioned has a tendency to swivel (especially when getting out of the car) and letting the phone slip out of the case and drop ( happened twice to me with some minor damag3e )-------so also moving to silicone
I also have the silicon case. Shipping was 3 days from Hongkong
to Germany. Bought it @ Ebay.
I also recommend it.

I must admit I like the look of the casemate but would love some input from someone who has it
It looks like the official kick stand case is good. I ordered one together with my phone. Now waiting for them to show up
I bought the Case-Mate Barely-There.
Very pleased so far, survived its first drop on one of the corners.
I purchased a pouch style case from this website and it was way too small for the phone from G5 Online.
Anyone know where I can get a case this style which will fit the phone well?
I recently bought this case and it is really awesome..looks so cool.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BLACK-S-...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item2a10ef1c9a
Damn,i see it has now dropped $2 since i bought mine.
Personally I am going to wait and see if an extended battery turns up with a replacement back panel. No point in getting a case if one does turn up and prevents it fitting in it.
The way the camera section is raised above everything else should give room for a larger battery without making it too much thicker. I love the styling of the O3D, but I would have preferred to lose the raised section in favour of a bigger battery.
seriously don't get the original kick stand case from lg it's a piece of crap. In fact it gave my lgo3d few scratches and it just looks cheap and terrible. The kickstand does not open probably and I had to
pull like a ox to open the kick stand that i was afraid i break it. I gave up and just returned that piece of crap. it was made completely from cheap plastic and the kickstand had a terrible silvery finish like supposed to look like metal or something. Design fault as well. how am I supposed to charge and put on the kickstand? Will use as pouch with self cleaning innards for the screen

I have the original kick stand case from LG too. Very disappointed in it. How come they made that in cheap plastic and so slippery. It feels like the phone gonna drop at anytime. I'll waiting for the korean cases arrive to see if those are better. They look promissing to me.
My case mate pop with built in stand has just arrived, cleaned and fitted.
I must say very nice too not much weight to it but fits like a love the back is solid and the sides rubber.
Both me and the missus have this phone. We have tried several covers each but we just got the "wave" style cases of eBay. These are a very good fit and have a really nice "no slip" feel in the hand. They are less than £3 including postage in the UK.

How "soft" is this case? I bought this case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ALNACO and it is too soft: i.e. it comes off when putting it in my pocket, the sides pull away too easily. I want a case that fits very snugly and doesnt "peel" away too easily. I dont want something that slips on and off too easily.
So how does yours feel in regards to that?
I got the case mate barely there .. and I finf its coolbut its expensive though..
All i see are pouch and folio type of cases, hoping more choices come out soon.
What i miss is the black $10 TPU case w/ kickstand i got on eBay for my original Tab - i wish there was an identical one for the 7 Plus. It won't fit the 7 Plus as the 7 Plus is slightly longer. Thinner is nice w/ the 7 Plus, but I feel like i can more easily lose grip of it compared to the original Tab.
I have a few kickstand accessories i got for my old Tab, but they're not as convenient as a little fold out stand that comes out of the case it's always in.
For now, i took some carbon fiber vinyl covering i had left over from covering my laptop and covered the back of the Tab, then i shaved the back off an extra case i had for my Droid RAZR and stuck it to the back of the 7 Plus w/ double-sided automotive tape. So now i have a kickstand that folds out of the back of it.
The RooCase people inform me that they will have a pretty nice case out for our GTab 7+ around the end of December exactly modeled after the A100 case. Had one for the A100 and it was quite nice. Functional and well-built. The Executive Portfolio model here. Leather is good and the screen frame is securely velcroed. Got it for about $35. I plan on snagging one.

Update: woops sorry i didnt realize that you werent looking for folio cases. Anyway, i ordered a skinomi black carbon fiber protection made for this tab. Unfortunately, i havent received the item yet after 2 weeks of waiting. Im having a very bad experience wit them right now. 3 days after i ordered i made a followup, they told me that they had just processed and shipped my order. I was thinking if i hadnt emailed them, they wouldve neglected my order. Anyway, benefit of the doubt, fine. I waited 10 days nothing was happening on the tracking number. I emailed again earlier to followup and voila! The shiiping just started! What the hell is wrong with those people!

Mine just arrived. I put it on and it's setting. If I have time tonight, I'll post more thoughts and pics.
Got my poetic case last night. i'll put pics up today after i get off of work, but i like it. It has cutouts for nearly everything. The only piece that does not have a cutout is the IR transmitter which is easy enough to fix. It has a nice magnetic closure, and the flap to hold the tablet in has velcro which my similar case for the transformer did not have. All cutouts line up reasonably well, the front microphone and camera are not perfectly centered, but that can be attributed to how far i shoved the tab into the case.
Overall i rate it 8/10, its going to be the case I use for the foreseeable forture, the price is great, and the shipping was fast.
(will add pics later today)

Yeah my issue with Skinomi was resolved by their manager. Anyway, the carbon fiber skin looks great and the screen protector is smooth. There's a little bit of protruding skin on all 4 corners because they only designed two pieces for the sides that go from top center to bottom center (left and right pieces). It's not a big deal actually but the pointed corners poke my skin sometimes.
It's a folio case, but I'm interested in seeing more about this incipio T-mo offers: http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones...-phone=Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-7.0-Plus-4G-Prepaid

Also VERY interested in T-Mobile's Incipio folio case. I have looked at the limited number of cases currently available and they all look pretty bulky. Especially since one of the main features of the Galaxy 7 Plus is how incredibly thin it is. The Incipio case looks pretty thin and form-factor (from what I can tell.
Anyone have experience or seen this case in person??? I have called a number of T-Mobile store here in NYC and none carry the case (most don't even have the Galaxy 7 Plus at all).
Thanks!

I have been searching for cases for days, and i got my + relatively early. Just so you guys know, many of the folio cases for the original Gtab will fit the +. However cutouts will be incorrect for headphone jack, IR, and camera a bit offcenter. I hate folio cases and just want a plastic/gel snap on for the back w kickstand.
I purchased the T-Mobile Incipio case and it fits great. It was a little pricey at $50.00 but there werent many options. They were having a "buy two accessories get the third one free" promotion so I also bought the screen protector and an extra charging cable.

Any chance you could post a few pictures of your tab in the case? None of the T-Mobile stores in my area have it, so I need to get it online. I'd really like at least a semi-decent look at what I'm getting before I pull the trigger and purchase one.
I think its a good fit. The sim card slot and sd card slot are covered but I rarely need access to them.

In other news, roocase now has some 7.0 Plus cases: http://www.roocase.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-7e0-Plus/cat-l/c103881.html
I bought this case off of ebay and I was very surprised by the quality. This is essentially identical to the actual $60 Samsung S View case. I have only played with the official S View case for a short period of time at the store and have watched video reviews. I was frustrated because I wanted the case but could not justify spending such a large sum of money for it. So I combed ebay and bought 4 S View type cases all under 10 dollars. I have only received 2 cases so far but this one has exceeded any expectation I had.
The case came in a Samsung box that appears to be for the chinese market. Everything about the box looks official down to the "designed by samsung" to the barcode sticker with the inventory part number and date. The case itself is basically an official case. From the front cloth material to the inside felt/leather. The back snaps on perfect like the stock back cover. When I first applied the case it did not close all the way which is common among the reviews I saw but after laying it on it's face overnight, it nearly closes perfectly and I have only had it for a couple of days.
I bought this off of ebay for $8, and it came with a screen protector (I have no need for) and a stylus (I have no need for), but all in all, it is an incredible deal.
For those who want the official S View case but can't justify spending the money, this is perfect.
From all that I can tell, this is the real deal, but I can't see how it could be priced at this level, maybe the chinese market gets a cheaper price? More than likely though, this is just a high grade replica. From little I know of the replica market from watches to bags there are different grades with the low ends being poor knock offs to high ends which are essentially identical and most often made in the same factory where the originals are outsourced to for production.
I read reviews on Amazon for a replica S View cover that is apparently horrible, there is no screen even, just a hole cut out. I was not expecting what I got for the price I paid.
I made a short video review as well on youtube, but I can't post links. Just search for "s view unoffical case"
I am still waiting on two other S view cases that may or may not be identical to this (crossing fingers).
I also just purchased the Spigen flip mate case so the back and edges has some protection. You can get it on the Spigen ebay store for 12.99 rather than 17.99 on their website. I'll post pictures of that when it comes in this thread. Should be here in 3-5 days.

I can't post links yet, just created my account. I bought from seller named "frentaly". In his store do a search for "New FLIP PU Leather CASE Cover Smart Wake View For SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 S IV i9500"
Or go to youtube and search for "S View unofficial case - ebay/chinese "replica" incredible clone" you'll see my video that has a link in the description.
I originally went with this seller because he was in the US and had faster shipping, I also bought 2 similar cases that I have not received yet that were cheaper (one was 4.75) but I don't know how these are, could be identical or could be garbage. I will post when I get them. I also bought a S View case/cover that snaps on the phone, if you find my first video you can see my review for that as well.

My GPS works fine and there has been no impact to the signal. I can't imagine how this cover could cause such an impact, the back is the same plastic as the stock back, there isn't even a case going over that may possibly impact the signal. Maybe the magnet was too strong? I can't detect the magnet in this case, tried getting anything to stick, even cut up a small paper clip and it just slides off. I saw a review of a leather flip case that was like a wallet and it had a huge magnet in it, well, not huge but strong enough to pick up a pile of paperclips.
The one on Amazon, from reading the reviews is the one that has no actual screen for the S View, it is just a hole in the cover and many people complain that the back cover doesn't fit properly. I was tempted to buy that one to test my luck but found cheaper on ebay.
Spigen flip mate case
I bought the Spigen flip mate case off of ebay for 12.99. It arrived quickly in 3 days and was looking forward to it as with the S View cover there is no real protection if the phone is dropped.
I am disappointed with this flip mate case. I wasn't expecting much as it is just a piece of plastic that covers the back, but the main thing is that it fits loosely. It is tight enough to snap on and looks good, but with relative ease, it can pop right off. If you actually hold the phone still you can slide the cover back and forth very slightly - that shows it doesn't fit very tight. Also one of the corners is exposed, you think the main thing this case would at least provide is corner cover. I cannot see a reason why they would purposely cut a hole in the corner of this case. Maybe it was a cost saving measure so they could put it into the packaging.
The packaging it came in is over the top. It is a two piece shell of really heavy plastic - just from looking at things, it is apparent that out of the 13 bucks I spent, probably 11 dollars or more went into the packaging itself. The container it came in is much sturdier and seems more of value than the flip mate case, just don't know what I could use it for. The phone itself did not come in such a sturdy and over the top packaging. Really overkill for this case.
I am going to upload a video review on youtube showing how easy it is for this case to come right off the phone.

Time to start looking for another case that works with the S View. This case was a waste of money.
Update - attached an additional photo. I have had this case for less than 4 hours and it already has a serious scratch in the back. I have been keeping it in my pocket and placed it with my keys for less than 10 minutes. I usually keep my keys by the doorway and I forgot when I got inside. When I remembered, I saw a large scratch on the back of the case. It isn't deep, but as you can see in the photo it is easily scratched. I have to be more careful with this case. So not only is it loose but it scratches at the lightest touch.
Got another S View type case.
This one is a case, not a cover that replaces the back.

The front cover is identical to the first one I reviewed except the samsung logo is missing. Same cloth material, same color. The inner cover is covered with a soft fabric/leather/felt type material.
Instead of a back cover for your phone, this one has a case. It is clear plastic, smoke colored. It covers all four corners and the phone fits in tight. One nice feature of the case is that the power button is cutout so there isn't a piece of case obstructing it. Small detail but makes hitting the power button easier than Spigen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJJz8j09jrw or other magnet S view case here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY2d2ifC8Mg
All in all, it is a nice case, It is under 6 dollars and for those looking for an S View Case that want protection for your phone other than buying a Spigen Flip Mate this is a great deal.

An employee said that they only match if the seller is the manufacturer because anyone can put a fake one for a fraction of the cost.
