spotted on ebay UK, anybody had any experience of this case?

Silicone Case For The XDA 2
Had a play with one last night, feels good in the hand and does not look too bulky, more importantly phone signal is NOT affected. I'll be ordering one this week
Check out www.pdamods.com, £23 incl delivery.
Ebays cheap but you always get people trying to rip you off

You can also check out http://www.javoedge.com
They also have the silicone case and the clear case, you can also get a bundle deal too.

Bye,
Urosh

It appears this case has no screen protection, and no way to attach it to your belt...? Is that true, or did I miss something?

Excellent case!

Ended up going for this case :
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-RESIN-S..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item1e5bd73dd3
ITs the dotted plastic one that many already have, this one is specific for the desire: fantastic fit and feel its really worth the fiver!!
Just ordered the screen protectors from amazon..full phone protection for under £10!!

Thanks for info mate, looks really good i wiil back with rewiew when buy them.
sorry for lang...
www.djoutsider.co.uk

thanks. bought one of these right now. looks good.

Looks good, cheers.

I got this exact case last week, only paid £2.64, free shipping and came with a screen protector that fitted perfectly.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250624725221
it's the same case, different name - black dotted one, looks at feels great.
much better than the £8 nexus one case I got from MobileFun.

Was gonna order from there too! but the 2-6wk delivery time put me off!

Yea fair enough, mine took just over a week to come, the wait isn't too bad if you've already got a case.
To be fair I'd of paid an extra couple of ££ to have it in a couple of days instead of risking a 6 week wait.
Great case though

Just wondering how much thickness do these casses add to the desire? Is it the same amount of thickness as the nexus one's case from mobilefun adds? Thanks. As i am looking for a thinner case as it needs to fit into my pdAir VX1 pouch.. :S The nexus one case adds to much to it (as i bought one from ebay)

it's probably a tiny bit thinner but not by much. its much better fitting than the nexus one case from Mobile Fun, it covers the edge around the screen it also feels generally nicer to hold.

For me it was the £99.99 price which put me off! (That's the original item, as mentioned in the first post)

I really don't think it is going to be any thinner than the nexus one specific cases.
The thinnest I have found are these snap on cases: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-Rubberi...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item51929403cc
I don't know whether it will fit in a pouch though.

Thanks I guess I'll have to go shopping with the phone in hand and see if a case fits the pouch. That's hard to do considering the phone isn't available here...maybe when I'm back on holiday in the UK I'll try and find a solution. Might get something similar to the zagg invisishield to protect the phone for know.

I've waded through what seems like 100 pages and I'm still no closer to getting anything! Seems I need a 1) thin film screen protector, 2) some sort of gel/silicone case to protect the phone from drop-damage when I'm using it and 3) a general purpose case/jacket to protect it from keys/drop damage/rain. But there's no way of knowing whether it'll fit into case 3 if it's in case 2! Sellers seem happy to advertise stuff as fitting the desire when buyers report that it doesn't, and you have the usual ebay sellers, typically in hong kong/china offering 6 week delivery times and no ability to return stuff for a refund if it turns out that you've got a crap one/it doesn't fit/isn't actually for the desire.
Does anyone have all 3 protections on their phone and who cares to share it with us (me)? And does anyone know the difference between these two items?

The first is a TPU case a sort of soft plastic like those flexible rulers you can buy, the second is a floppy silicone case.
Neither have a hole for the volume rocker you have to press through the case, ideally there should be a bump over the volume rocker to make it easy to press.

I went out brought the case the OP suggested and another case of amazon just to see the difference between them. the one from amazon hasn't arrived yet, however with regards to the ebay purchase the case arrived within two days of payment, so can't really knock the delivery time on this.
Its a snug fit, the phone doesn't move about within the case which is always reasuring. the case is reasonably thin, but does add a substantial weight and a thickness of about 3m to your phone. And the back of the case does pick up fingerprints quite easily, my old school ps3 doesn't pick up fingerprints quite as easily as this case does.
I would post photos of the case and the phone, but unforntunately my phone is my camera when whilst I'm at uni. I'll try to borrow a friends camera when I get both cases together to give you guys a little run through.

3 meters?!
In all seriousness, I got the one from eBay too and it's pretty good I'd say. It'll do for now, I'd prefer a more matt/siliconey feel but so I'll keep searching.

Just got one of these to allay my fears of breaking my phone. It does feel a lot chunkier and it's certainly not as sexy now. I might get used to it or find something else.

Hahaham we both knew I meant 3mm. However adding 3m to my phone would sure that if I dropped it, it wouldn't even reach the ground.

Got this Skin today...
Feels really good. Design is okay and it fits perfectly.
Got it for about 3pounds... ~4Euro...

Brought one here in oz, abs gold!!! Works a treat...

Here's hoping, I think there's an opportunity here for someone.

I need water proof case ....for i9000

Don't get the pull up case. I got one myself a few days ago and it does not fit well. The insides feel rough and it felt like it could scratch the phone at any time.
http://imgur.com/8JV3U.jpg
The top bit wouldn't fit in.

What I'm waiting for is the OtterBox
I've had an OtterBox Defender for my iPhone for over a year, and after the number of times I've dropped my phone only to have it saved, it's the only case I'll use.
Unfortunately, Otter hasn't created one yet. I sent in a request, and they're looking at building one, but don't have one yet.

silicon and leather case.. etc..
..found this link from a forum.. korean website..
..you can try searching the gmarket website.. korean version.
..they have like Zenus Softcase for the GS and alot more.

The Zenus cases look really nice, but it's a bit expensive, and Gmarket always costs a lot to ship internationally.

The orange and black case looks amazing!!

Maybe not realy case related, but also protection..
I've mailed gelaskins and uniqueskins to inquire if they will be producing a skin for the Galaxy S soon.. Gelaskin is putting it up for consideration, uniqueskins however does not respond to any mail i send them, very rude! (despite the've read them, according to the read reports).
I would like to use a skin to protect the plastic cover. However the cover was not as flumsy as most reviews lead me to believe..

case looks awesome how do I order one?? I've been trying to battle through the zenus website (using chrome korean translation as the english version doesn't work) but not getting anywhere...

I absolutely detest cases of any kind as they add extra bulk to an already fairly large device. What I prefer are skins like the ones from gelaskins.com.

some people like case some dont, as for me i want to put some weight on the S its too light, also i dont wanna scratch the back of the phone,
i want that ZEnus case, but like the above guy no idea how to buy from the site, nothing on ebay too...

I am able to purchase from Gmarket as I have used Gmarket before.
Would anyone be interested in me bulk buying some and me sending them to you? The reason is that Gmarket uses a very expensive delivery services, and anything up to 0.5kg is roughly 12 dollars. These cases weigh 0.1kg each so I am able to buy up to 5 of them and still pay 12 dollars delivery.
Edit: Nevermind, I just checked the actual item weights. It's the silicone case that weighs 0.1kg each.
Silicone case: £9.76 (weighs 0.1kg)
http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=189041207
Leather case: £19.50 for white or black case, £20.64 for the double coloured cases. (weighs 0.5kg)
http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challe...1&pos_class_kind=T&keyword_order=zenus+galaxy
Though the delivery is still cheaper if I bulk buy, if anyone would be still interested then tell me.

seidio
Anyone contacted seidio if they will be making like custom casing, battery, etc for the internation version of GS?
..just curious.. hehehe

is that a kickstand i see on the white case? Looks very nice if it is.....

Not sure, it may just be part of the design, but it would certainly be very nice if it was a kickstand.

you can see it better upclose here....looks rubberish to me and unlikely to be a kick stand 2nd image from the bottom...

failing that i may try to find some plastic material to attach to the back of a case but unsure what to search for? swivel plastic piece? lol.

[Q] Case input

I've been searching the net for a hard case for my i9000m (currently in for repairs..)
I have looked at a few and these peak my interest, but I would like your input on what to buy and it doesn't have to be from something I post.
Here they are:
Case-Mate Tough
and
Anycall Punch Mesh Case
Thanks for your opinions!

About the Anycall Mesh case: it's nice and cool, doesn't add too much thickness to your phone but... it does not protect well. I am using mine about 2 months and it already cracked (not completly, some small piece in the upper left side had broken). It's still usable, but imo it's not very durable (i'm very careful about my phone). I'm looking for something with more protection, but I fear there will be nothing that stylish

How about any kickstand cases that have a lip on the front to prevent screen damage?

Problems with some hard cases is it might damage the color on the edges and most of them doesn't protect the upper top and bottom of the phone, so its not 100% protection.
But you have a good choice with a combination of hard and soft material in single case. The inside of the case that which comes in contact of the phone's body is rubber (silicon) and outside has a good hard fibre. Might be bit expensive but great value for money and protection of phone.
Otterbox cases

this is another case from Casemate,
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...axy-S-T-Mobile-Vibrant-Barely-There-Cases.asp
It is cheap as compare to other cases but it is good product.
I am using it from last 6 months.

Last time I ordered I just ordered it online from the US - delivery was pretty quick...
http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Gal..._color=20&start=1&cgid=samsung-galaxy-s-cases

This one is 2 bucks, and kicks ass, I ordered it for building a custom car mount but it would make a great hardcase as well, adds very little to the size of the phone.

I tried to order one but I get an error message when i try to submit my order. The customer support has not answered to my complains yet.
I found a dealer in germany but they start to deliver the boxes at the end of january. I mean the END OF JANUARY... I'm not sure I can wait that long...

I use the Case-mate Tough case.
Works great, I feel my phone is pretty safe from being in my pocket and possible drops.
It comes with a soft rubber layer case and a hard case for protection.
My only issue is that to me I can be pressing the power button on the side, without realising it sometimes.
Overall I highly reccomend it.

Buy This awesome kickstand case dude!

The Hinge is made of metal and i have been using it for half a year now and it hasn't shown any sign of weakness.

Has anyone used otterbox for galaxy s? would like to hear feedback. thanks!

I ordered mine two days ago and go it two minutes ago. It fits perfect and gives a secure feeling right from the start. And it looks cool. Would you like to know more?

It's a compromise.
The thicker the case, the more cumbersome it becomes, but the better protection it offers.
The thinner the case, the slimmer and lighter the phone is, but the less protection it offers.
I keep my phone in my jeans pocket, so a thick case like otterbox is completely unacceptable to me. Currently I am using a SGS leather flip open case. http://www.exportprive.com/advanced...escription=0&keywords=galaxy S&sort=2a&page=4

Yeah, amazing protection on mine as well. only drawback is that the screen protector does not protect the entire screen and misses a lot of the buttons on the bottom.

I use a screen protector by 3M. The Vikuiti DQC-160.

Mybat vs. Ballistic vs. Seidio vs. Ionic

Hey guys,
Recently I bought this and while it looked great at first, it dawned on me that it doesn't tightly fit my device and the bottom part of my Nexus 4 has slipped out of the case a couple times..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/FULL-BLACK-...959490?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item56513a4042
So now I'm hunting for a new case. I've had really good experiences with the Seidio case with my Nexus S, but it's proven to be rather expensive compared to what others have offered. Wouldn't mind going back if it's the only case of this category that is the best fit and protection for the device.
I was looking at the Mybat but was concerned about the actual bulk of the device, and it being easy to remove as I often take off the shell from time to time. Also, no one seemed to comment if the case interferes with headphones with L-shaped plugs either.
The other two contenders are Ballistic and Ionic, heard great things from both but unsure which is better. I did hear that Ionic cases attract lint very easily but I do like its price very much. Not a fan of the bubble-back design though. Heard great things about Ballistic, but like the Seidio case, the cost is making me apprehensive about purchasing one.
Mybat: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Nexus-4-...4?pt=PDA_Accessories&var=&hash=item2a286793ca
Ionic: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00A06Z41E/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3KQDBCHA3FRT9
Ballistic: http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/lg-nexus-4-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case
Seidio: http://www.seidioonline.com/lg-nexus-4-active-metal-kickstand-case-black-p/csk3lgn4k-bk.htm
So what do you guys think would be the best?
Cheers,

I have the iconic and thought it was too thick, so I ordered the Ballistic one and it's even thicker
I'm tempted to try the ACTIVE but I have spent so much on cases it isn't even funny....
Edit...I just bought it on ebay for $24.99 and free shipping.

When i had my gs3 i had a variety of cases including; cheap ebay "tough" cases with kickstands, an otterbox defender (never again), and a ballistic sg. The Ballistic is a GREAT case. It was sturdy, the phone would never pop out, the plastic was nice, and the silicone inner was much better than the plastic inner found on the defender. The silicon not only prevented scratches, but also prevented dust and any other unwanted items in. It almost seals the device. When i bought my nexus 4, i was very dissapointed that there weren't any decent protective cases out. I knew the ballistic sg was coming, but ive had my device since december and needed something for the short term... Something to get so i can wait for the ballistic. I was almost going to buy the case you bought, but i really don't like kickstands. I searched on ebay and found the mybat tough case, I bought it as it met all my requirements; it was cheap, it was protective, it didn't have a kickstand, and it actually looked good. The buyer i bought my case from shipped the case very fast to Australia, (which suprised me, usually these types of cases end up taking about a month) To my suprise, the case was really good quality for the price. The cutouts were (almost) perfect, the fit was pefect, the phone doesn't move about at all. I paid 15 dollars shipped to Australia compared the 70 or 80 odd dollars it would cost me to buy a ballistic shipped. I had the case on for a day, and I loved it...Until I tried to hang up on a phone call... the sensor on the lg is very sensitive, and this case just blocks it enough to stop the screen coming on. This fault was quickly fixed with a drill bit, and since then, i have had no issues, and will continue using this case for the remainder of the phones life. I simply prefer the whole case over the ballistic i had on the s3. However the ballistic was slightly better made, it doesn't warrant even a 15 dollar increase over this case. I love this case. (Note in my pictures the proximity cut out I modified) I did a custom design with sharpie marker on mine and it came out awesome! I wouldn't do this to a more expensive case as id be worried about wrecking it, but since these bad boys are so cheap, who cares. If this broke, i wouldn't think twice at buying another one.
Edit: This case also works with my energizer qi charging mat.

that back is awesome!

FYI the ballistic case works with the LG-WCP700 wireless charging pad. I do however find it is harder to hold on to as it's slippery compared to the Ionic. It's also larger than the Ionic.

I'd go with Mybat (because it's cheap and looks decent) or the Active (because seidio makes a good product and I like the kickstand.)

i also love the look of rugged cases.. been using them ever since my first smartphone
currently i am using this armourdilo case that i saw online.. it is available for sale on mobilefun website or i have seen a seller through eBay AUS...
availbale in a varieety of colours as well although i stuck the standard black on black ...
as well as many youtube vdo reviews bout it.. so i decided to buy it.. really good look and feel..

I wouldn't do this to a more expensive case as id be worried about wrecking it, but since these bad boys are so cheap, who cares. If this broke, i wouldn't think twice at buying another one.
Edit: This case also works with my energizer qi charging mat.

How easy is it to remove the case once installed? Plus does it interfere with L-shaped headphone jacks?

It's made by the same oem as the mybat cases.

The case is easier to get off than my ballistic sg on the s3 was. With that said, if i drop it, it doesn't feel as if it will fly apart. The case has interfered with one of my L-shaped head jacks, and works with another.. i just use a simple headphone extender when i want to use those earphones.

Hmmm that might not fly then for me... I listen to music with my phone a lot ... my phone is essentially an Internet-enabled MP3 player that so happens to have a phone function built in lol.

I have the ionic case on mine wasn't too sure from the pictures but I like it and the circles on the back aid grip.
I also dropped it from about 5feet and it bounced on all 4 corners but the phone was fine!

Mate I answered you about headphones, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37912172#post37912172 :silly: I can recommend the tuff case too, it is a solid and very fair priced case.

I heard that it is a dust/lint magnet, is this true?

I'm running the seidio surface case. Expensive, but you can't beat the quality.

It does a bit, it is not terrible though, I only really noticed having a look to reply to you!

Second with mybatt.. Cheap and sturdy for the price. Get a good looking one for the less dangerous situations.

The best protection gives you MyBat! I have Wrapsol film and the Tuff case from MyBat and I think my phone is unbreakable.
