Oversized Case / Sleeve - Galaxy S I9000 Accessories

Can anyone recommend a case/sleeve large enough to fit a SGS with a silicon case?
I ordered a Mofi case which was nice but due to the Silicon case I have it didnt fit inside.
I know it might seem a bit of an overkill having a silicon case and a sleeve to keep it

check this one out

i'm loving it

Thanks for the suggestion, it does look nice however i'm more after a sleever/pouch that I can slide it in and out of rather than a folding case.

Those mofi cases come in varied sizes.
Perhaps an xl version will suit?
Mp4 nation had them quite cheap, not too sure about now.
They also have leather style slip cases for the iphone which I picked up, too small for the sgs though.

How about this one:

It has various sizes, and "size F" fits SGS quite nice.

Very decent luxury version silicone case

Sooooo glad that PDair has finally released it, just ordered it.

Somehow this lot of silicone cases has this special pattern and with their thick cuts that gives this case a bit of a luxury feel to it, and unlike the smooth silicone thin layer cases that might shift its position or collect lints. this one I had also for my other phones before, no regrets.
cheerio guys...
looks promising....any reviews?

Looking for the thinnest pouch possible (HD2 reference images attached)

I'm still looking for a good pouch for my Desire... My biggest requirement is that the pouch should not add much to the thickness - what's the benefit of this nice 11mm profile otherwise?
The pouch I used on my HD2 was made of very thin leather, which I got from some East Asian seller on eBay as part of these all-in-wonder low quality charger/silicon-case/cradle/what-not packages for 20€. But the pouch turned out to be very nice quality and as you can see from the attached images - super thin and soft leather. Also the suede inside of the pouch cleaned the screen quite well.
Is there anything like that for the Desire?
.
I use a Belkin parallel case that I had for my Iphone. It doesn't add a lot of thickness. I'm in Australia and got it from a Telstra shop and find that it does the job very nicely.
this will only add 0.2mm additional thickness

got my genuine HTC case yesterday and thats incredibly thin, theres some reviews in the other threads

I have it, it's /very/ thin, I expected it to be much larger but it does the job, is official, and is really thin

Ahha, so you're saying it's thin and made of soft leather? Sounds exactly like what I'm looking for! Is it really black? I read some random buyer review of the HD2 version of the pouch that said it's actually brownish.
EDIT: According to some web sites, this pouch is compatible with both the Desire and the HD2?? How can this be possible - I'm currently using my old HD2 leather pouch and while it fit the HD2 perfectly, it's too big for the Desire...Yes, it was tight in the beginning, and over time it stretched with the HD2 being inside. But doesn't this might mean that the S510 may become too loose for the Desire at some point?
Yeah it's black and made of soft leather.
I think they just made the same model twice with 2 differents size and rebranded it the same
Honestly, for the price... it's great

Diztronix experts: TPU vs hard case?

I'm trying to decide between the matte black TPU case and the hard case from Diztronix. What are the pluses and minuses on each?

Well I have the Matte black Case From Diztronic...Its perfect to me...feels great...fits right and looks very good...but just pick the case you like best my friend bcuz thats all that matters...
I was on their site for a brief moment after seeing the review for the TPU case (ordered one, it looks like a good case!) and saw the hard case as an option, so checked out the pictures.
Biggest difference is that being a hard case, it can't flex to put the phone in, so the top/bottom bits are missing like many other cases. That was the biggest reason I went for the TPU since it has protection all around.
Tpu vs hard case.
TPU is a tad thicker, but provides more protection. All corners are covered.
Hardcase is thinner and does not provide coverage on the top of the phone and bottom.
I have the TPU, and hardcase coming in on Monday. I opted for the hardcase because of the option to put it into my GNex Seidio Surface case. The tpu is too thick and makes the phone too long to fit so hoping this will fit and be my weekend warrior.
Saying all that, I currently got my LG Nexus Bumper. And I have to say I do like it a lot. I actually had one but since sold it when I first got the phone because using the bumper, the phone would not fit in any of my universal cases at the time.
I got the Diztronic tpu and had that and was quite happy with it. Seeing a few threads about the Seidio holster possibility, I went and bought the hard case because I already have the Seidio Surface spring holster. Between all of that happening, I finally got my bumper case and fell in love with the bumper all over again. Thinking I was going to sell it again because I couldn't find a decent holster to house the phone, I tried putting the phone with the bumper into my universal vertical belt holster which fit the phone and tpu case.
To my disbelief and amazement, the phone actually fit! The Diztronic stretched the the case enough where the bumper can pretty much slide in without an issue!
Well sorry for the long a$$ story, but this is what I had personally gone through so far. Not to mention getting yet another case, the Nillkin flip case. Not sure if I am going to keep it though. I may just sell it to another person here or ebay.

New case suggestions

So I am looking to get a new case for my GS4. I had a Nexus 4 previously and had the Poetic Slimline bumper. I loved it. It fit so nicely in my hand. So much so I got the Poetic slimline for my GS4. Its good but it doesn't feel the same. I think the reason is because of how rounded it is on the edge. On the nexus 4 rather than round to the back it angled.
So I am looking for a thin and light case that angles to the back rather than rounds or at least isn't a smooth transition. I do want it to offer some protection though. The poetic is nice for this because it has the hard and soft. One other thing is I love wireless charging and don't want to lose that (I have an insert).
In my search I have seen a number of things and am leaning towards an aluminum bumper right now. I am willing to consider othhings but this seems to do what I want best.
I haven't been able to find reviews on the ones I am considering.
Really like this (1) one. I think this (2) one is the same but without the back cover. Has anyone used either of these?
I am also considering a Spigen Neo Hybrid. Might make it too iPhone-esque though.
Any other suggestions would be nice.

I have the second one you talk about, I love(d) that case. It fit well in the hand and felt very premium. Unfortunately the service went from -94dbm to almost -103dbm, and I would constantly get failed text messages in places i would have normally 2 bars.
The neo hybrid is deffinently a sweet case, the back is a little slippery in one hand though.

Spigen
Google Spigen S4
and scroll to their neo hybrid
i personally have a slim armor case and the spigen build quality to superb
make sure to buy geniune from site or your own trusted retailers( inside a genuine case has a verfication code to check if it is genuine)
I think that most if not all Aluminum cases with an aluminum rear cover will experience signal loss. Not a good thing under most circumstances.
I sport a UAG case which I'm very happy with.
I started a thread about the UAG a couple of weeks ago:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451240
I've also looked at the Speck cases online which seem pretty intriguing.
http://www.speckproducts.com/smartphone-cases/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s4-cases.html
I have the Otterbox Defender & Commuter cases, as well as the Cygnett WorkMate Evolution case, but I don't think those are the look you're looking for.
Hmmm.... 4 cases in the last 3 months for a guy that never used any cases for years

I have the Neo Hybrid, some things to consider:
1) The plastic bezel is awful, the paint will start chipping within a couple of weeks (I have chips all over the bezel), then you will see the unpainted white plastic underneath and they aren't cheap to replace at $9.99.
2) It looks nice, but if you drop it I highly doubt it will offer much protection, I did once and where it did drop I saw the frame's paint chip, luckily it was on my hardwood floor and not concrete.
3) I contacted Spigen's customer service and they are down right awful, you won't get a response for weeks and if you do they will say it's your fault. I understand that if I drop it and chip it is definitely my fault, however the bezel should not chip just from it being in my pocket.
I have moved on from the Neo hybrid to Obliq, the one linked below. It does add a little bulk, but man the case is built with high quality and looks great.
Good luck, I hope you find a good case.

Honestly I think the best combination of both protection and slimness is going to come from either the Element Atom, Otterbox Commuter, or one of the Spigen cases.
Incipio makes some nice cases as well.

I got rid of my SPG Neo Hybrid Neo 2 days after getting it a couple of months ago because I saw the 'writing on the wall' regarding minimal if any drop protection, sagging neoprene after 2 days, cheap construct, etc.
With the above being said, the case in your link looks to be of protective construction, although it looks like a UAG knock off, but at half the price and nice selection of colors.
But I have to do more research on it.
I've since got a Speck Candyshell case which seems pretty cool.
I need some protection, but I also like some colors, more than the standard black cases available. I just ordered a 2nd Candyshell[/QUOTE]
Edit:
I read some reviews on the Obliq. They were general but positive, then I read a review that I'm linking to. This guy seems to be very meticulous, and he is comparing the Obliq to the UAG, which he has both owned:

Well that is odd, I have the gun metal and the black Obliq case and the buttons work as smooth as butter, right out of the case, no break-in period required. Also I have the UAG and the Obliq does look like a knock off but I think it looks better. Also the UAG ones are $29 vs $9.99 or $14.99 for the black Obliq case.
UAG is not better or worse than Obliq in my opinion. UAG also looks a bit worse with those fake screws in the back that are just part of the plastic, those make the case look cheaper, I wish they had just left those out of the design.
Go with whatever makes you feel better, but for 3 times the price you aren't getting a case that is 3 times better.

Slim, crystal clear case for the Nexus 6P?

Hello,
Im looking for a case for my new Nexus 6P. I already looked up a bunch of case collection threads in the accessories section, but couldn't find the right one. I want a slim/thin fit case (I know it has minimal protection, but the nexus is just beautiful, I will take that risk), that is crystal clear and doesn't cover up the buttons on the side.
Looks like the shimmery white adopted case that comes from google is the only one, that nearly fits my requirements. I just want to make sure that I don't miss my (dream)case, if it exists. :laugh:
Does anyone know a case that would be perfect for me?
Check aliexpress and eBay. From Aliexpress I got a case... think the brand is Lenuvo or something like that, for a few bucks. It is entirely gel TPU, and I got the slightly smoked color to hide dirt better, but it is still very true to my aluminum 6P's color. It is the thinnest case I own compared to the several others I have. It does cover the buttons though, but provides good feedback.
I also have a frosted clear plastic shell, a lot like the Spigen thin fit I got on eBay for a few bucks. It doesn't cover the buttons or anything, but I just didn't like it that much. I prefer either the Spigen thin fit, the BearMotion sandstone thin fit, or the Cimo smoked matte gel tpu when I need a little more protection.
