[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,

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.

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.

MOFI Kangaroo Pouch for G2x, Multi-colors!

Hey guys,
I found some nice looking sleeve's from Amazon from a company in the UK, NGWorld. They are available in Black, Orange, Coffee, Grey, Red and Green. They also have some leather sleeves if your into that sort of thing. I think they look a bit too flashy. Anyway I ordered the Black Kangaroo Pouch and hope it's a winner for my G2x (took me a while, was trying to decide between black, orange and green). I like the look and feel of the device so I thought this option would be better to keep the phone protected while in my pocked from dust/lint. I'm so careful with my phone I'm not too worried about drop protection or scratches while in use. Thought this may be useful for anyone looking for a case/sleeve/pouch for their shiny new toy.
I can't post a link yet so Google: Amazon NGworld LG
It should be your first result then just click the LG link for the Brand.
The Kangaroo pouch's are $10.99 including shipping and hopefully they'll arrive within a week or so.
The Leather pouch is $18.99 including shipping.

I was looking at those sleeves too . Share your thoughts when you get it

That looks pretty nice. Thanks. Might get this as a back up case. Im not sure about taking the phone out and putting it back in considering i use it a LOT. Might become a hassle

I plan on using both the speck hard case and this pouch when It comes in. Right now I'm using a soft microfiber like bag that I had for some sunglasses to keep the phone lint free and shiny while in my pocket. I hope the phone + hardcase will fit inside the pouch otherwise I'll have to make a choice. They sure look pretty nice though!

The pouch came in today. That thing came fast. I ordered it on the 20th and it came today. Overall this is a nice little pouch. Fits the phone perfectly, and I love how they give you enough room in front to store things. I just put my drivers license in there when I get lazy and not carry my wallet around.

is there any kind of padding to the case or is it thin?

The case is soft, so I guess it only protects a minimum with little padding. Not sure if it would survive a fall of some sort.

Thanks for your answer.

Can you update when you receive the pouch if the phone with the candyshell fits alright? I'm considering going the same route.

Could you post some pictures? I know there are pictures on amazon but I want to see it in a real life photo not a staged one. Does it also collect dust?

The Mofi case will most likely collect some pocket lint and dust but seems easy enough to clean off and doesn't specifically attract anything in my short experience. That's the point of the pouch though right? It has a very nice soft feel to the outside and especially the inner liner portion. I am very satisfied with the quality and construction.

Unfortunately the phone does not fit with the candyshell hard case. It can be forced 75% or maybe all the way but I didn't want to push my luck! It's too tight of a fit to be a every day protection option. I'll probably end up returning or selling the Speck candyshell hardcase and just stick with the mofi pouch as I like the look and type of protection it provides better. Also the Speck case is much to hard to take the device out of. I don't enjoy pushing hard on the camera module every time I have to take the phone out of the case! (Which seems to be the only way to take out the phone from the Speck case as per the instructions that came with the case!)

I would generally agree with this statement, While it would certainly protect from small falls on softer surfaces I wouldn't trust it beyond 6 inches or so. The case does feel great in the hand though and I really like the extra pocket in the front and the closing ball and string latch on the top. The case feels very well constructed and like it will last a good while. Great deal for $10.99 with shipping from the UK and about a 5-7 day shipping time!

Thanks for the pics kflanegan looks like I might be ordering this sleeve now... the only question is what color should I get... I don't like to blend in with norm but I don't want to go over the top either... Anyone want to suggest a color?

If I hadn't gotten black it would have been either orange or green. Either way I think you would stand out! I think those colors would not show dust or lint near as much as the black. I'm always a sucker for black though and am very happy with the purchase. I was real surprised at the quality of the pouch for the price, I don't think you can go wrong no matter which color you decide on!

thanks for the pics and update kflanegan. I might actually pick this one up just because of the price. Still looking for a belt holster similar to that of the Droid X where it simply clicks into the holster. Hopefully one will come out soon..

Awww that's too bad to hear. Thanks for the update though. I'm still at an impasse because the pouch seems great for in pocket protection and keeping things clean but the speck would offer much more protection from drops, etc.

I didn't think it would fit at all. I wasn't really fond of the Speck case tho. I ordered the PhantomSkinz clear armor (similar to Zagg, for less and you get 2 sets) and it feels great with it.

Otterbox Commuter v. Incipio DualPro v. Seidio Active

Hello all,
I've always only had the Otterbox Commuter as my one and only case for phones, and with them being so slow to get out the color I want for the S4, I was wondering if I should keep waiting for a bit longer or go with another choice like the Incipio DualPro or Seidio Active. I don't have any experience with either of them, so I'm wondering if anyone who has used them can shed some light (both good and bad) on them.
Thanks.

Incipio Dual Pro is horrible. Fitment is off and constantly slips on an end, exposing the screen with no lip coverage. Luckily it was free from the ATT store for me, but i wish i chose a different case from them. I ended up ordering a minimalist JL case from amazon anyway.

I have an Incipio case and I think it's great. Probably the best case I've had for a phone. Only like $25 too.

no pics sorry, its sitting at home

Consider having a look see at the Casemate Toughcase if you like the otterbox, its actually less bulky while providing better protection for the phone. I'm very surprised this case doesn't see more play here becuase its a truly good case and I get people asking my out of the blue what it is and where I purchased it. I've got probably a dozen friends on it now and I did nothing to convince them, they mauled and pawed at the case for a few and were sold. If you are of a mind you can quickly pull up a few reviews on youtube of the case.

I've been using the Seidio Active case for a few days now. I used a 10% off coupon I found searching Google and it came out to $31 shipped. I bought the one with the grooves for your fingers. Also has a kickstand. I pull out the kickstand when holding the phone and put my ring finger under the kickstand so I have a good hold of the phone and my thumb can reach more of the screen. Kickstand also comes in handy with the smart stay option so the screen won't turn off when I'm reading. It is easy to take on and off so I can get to the battery easily. All the proper cut outs are there and are lined up perfectly. Complaints - When typing or pushing the menu / back key my fat fingers will hit the edge of the case. I just have to work on using the tip of my thumb. Depending on the angle of the phone you may not be able to see the notification light. There are covers for the volume and power button which took some getting used to but I can now hit them without looking.

How well does that case work with a glass screen protector?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

I have the Incipio Dual Pro Carbon now as my temporary case. The rubber is constantly coming off from around the lip. You see the silver when this happens. Not a huge deal but in a drop it won't be that good. Also the silicone grabs a little bit of lint.
Seidio active... I have it on my Nexus 7 and had it on my Note 1.... Huge lint magnet, OLD OLD design, silicone can be warped and won't lay flat in some areas.
Otterbox Commuter.... I will order one of the colored models when available. Buttons were terrible on the S3 but it seems to have an improved design....Putting the case on seems to be better than the S3... Overalll good design.
I also ordered the Cygnett Workmate... It seems to cover the issues from the other case and offers better grip... I will know in a couple of weeks.

The edges of the case do come over the top of the device to the screen side but this is only the softer inner portion of the case and I'm thinking it would work fine but I do not use screen protectors so I'm not certain. You can see it pretty clearly in some of the youtube videos of the case so you should be able to make a call from that. A link is here ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l3X7Oxgx5I and the same fellow reviews several others which might catch your interest as well.
I've included a couple pictures that show something you cant see there. The one is of my year old S3 case next to my brand new S4 case. Notice how the thing still looks new? The other seems like kind of an oddball picture but what you are looking at is the largest portion of the soft inner case and the thing to notice there is the lack of lint. While these do catch a tiny bit of lint it is very little as you can see there. I did not clean the case up, it went from my pocket to the drawer after my S4 got here.
On my S3 I have had my phone in that case directly alongside a friend who had his in a commuter case and we both agreed that this case felt better in the hand and it had a more premium feel. It also has better grip but does not hang in the pocket. He in fact is one of the people I know who ditched his case and got the Casemate instead. Now I've obviously not seen the Otterbox for the S4 yet but it appears much like the Casemate counterpart to be pretty much a rehash and I would expect that they will compare similarly again.

I bought mine (Dual Pro) at a TMob store. I totally disgaree regarding overlapping screen. It TOTALLY protects the screen via it's superb fit overlapping. Plus it has a nice "feel just holding it'. Used to have a Body Glovefor my S3. The bodyglove was on the thick side and it just didn't have the same tactile feeling when holding the phone. Mine is black with Grey...IOW two tone. Only saw it in a TMob store. Solid colors online from this link.

Man, that is some kind of funky back they have there. How does it feel? What is it?
And you said that Casemate offers better protection than the Commuter, any links to vids/proof to this? Cause if that's true, then that's a great deal. It looks like it is as bulky as the DualPro. Lastly, how are the colors with the Casemate? Got sick of all black, and that's why I've been looking elsewhere while waiting for the Commuter colors. Thanks.

Incipio DualPro
I purchased my Incipio DualPro from an AT&T store ($35 + tax) just to have something to protect the phone while I figure out what I really want as far as a case. I went in to get the cheapest thing they had but really liked the look of the fake carbon fiber which looks even better in person. But, the silicone layer is so loose and floppy that even with the stiff Plextonium frame:laugh:, it won't hold its shape leaving the bezel exposed where the fancy named frame isn't. This case had the makings of a winner.
Love this look:
Hate this:
Returned to AT&T store today!

The outer shell is plastic. It has the appearence of the knurling you see on a ratchet handle for example. In person it looks good and has a better feel than that of the Otterbox counterpart. The bulk of the case is about the same as the commuter, it is designed for protection and those who would avoid the Otterbox commuter for that reason would want to avoid it as well. That said it is slighly less bulky than its commuter counterpart because it is thinner.
As to protection there are no sure proofs, no 1000 phones dropped and here is the absolute numbers, test. You have to look at the case and make a judgement. The casemate clearly covers the corners better and has a better fit which combined with what are visibly better materials means you can pretty much figure your phone has a better chance than it does in the commuter. There is no sure thing. I had my S2 and then S3 both in the same case for those phones and while I haven't dropped the S4 yet I did have occasion to drop both of those several times and neither suffered a scratch although again no case will protect against bad luck.
In regards to the colors, I've no idea. I always go black so have never looked. Best bet might be to check the case out in a store. Its popular enough that I noticed our AT&T shop here had some on the shelf for S3s. Or if you have a case kiosk at the mall they will likely have one and you can check out the material yourself. Casemate has many other cases but I have no experience with them. I was Otterbox all the way till I ran into the toughcase which just plain out commuters the commuter at its own game. IMO

Looking at the dimensions of all the products, it looks like Casemate is the bulkiest, with Otterbox second, and Incipio DualPro the least bulkiest.
The one thing I'm not a fan of the Casemate from the pictures is that there seems to be more open exposed areas, especially at the top.

I ordered the Dual Pro case and have been waiting for it to come in.... I bought the Body Glove Dimensions case from the T-Mobile store just to have something on it until the Dual Pro case came in...The Dual Pro case looked really nice in the store but I want the white and gray one that they didn't have.. Now I'm hearing all the crappy reviews about the Dual Pro case and I'm having buyers remorse...Maybe I will get one from a good batch that will fit like a glove...UNLIKELY!!!! Anyway the Body Glove Dimensions case feels really good in my hand and looks nice however it doesn't protect anything just nice and slim.

Im not sure where you are getting your dimensions from but I can tell you from actually having both in my hand with the S3 the toughcase is slimmer. Since it appears that the Commuter is a reboot with a few minor changes just as the toughcase is for S4 I'm pretty sure you are going to see the same thing again. Also the only openings on the tough case are where the IR and headphone jacks are and the same applies on the bottom where there is no opening other than the two ports there. The Otterbox possesses exactly the same openings in their case and then unlike the otterbox the casemate piece does not have the wide open corners which are the single most likely spot for the phone to hit in a drop.
lol Sometimes you just cant let a favorite go, I do it myself. Either way you're getting a good case that stands a real chance of saving your overpriced ludicrously profitable for Samsung device so its all good. :good:

You do have to remember that those that have problems are usually the ones that take to online to complain, so just take all the amount of bad stuff with a grain of salt.

:silly: I think on the corners, they both go about it differently, Otterbox has the silicone there, and casemate has both, with the plastic outside. Bet they both have their own science reasons for doing it that way lol.
I'll wait it out a little while longer before deciding. I think my biggest concern about the casemate is that I won't like how the textured back feels.

I had that for the LG G3. I really liked it.

I always use bumper cases because it does not press on the back cover when I put Qi receivers, and also allow heat to escape from the back.
Is there anyone in here who used this Nillkin bumper case? Please tell us how it is...
I can't find it yet available in US, but it's all over ebay and amazon but coming from china...

I've got one on my phone right now, the grey one to be exact.
its nor what i'd call excessively bulky, but some people might complain over that, the screen is protected with the regular bump on the front part, its quite grippy as the back side remains accessible, the feel of the case is amazing, cutouts are perfect, materials are good, uses bumpy tpu-ish gel-ish plastic on the back and front size for the shock apsorbing, sides are made from strong plastic aswell. Buttons are easily accessible, very easy to press, but doesnt press when putting the phone in the pockets, didnt scratch the phone sides (yet) and its easy to remove even tho its a quite tight fit case.
the little backside rubber part make the phone stable on a flat surface, makes it stick a bit from the ground so the camera is protected. If you drop your phone directly on the back part on a non flat ground your camera will prolly be shattered.
Its my everyday case, would for sure recommend it (got it for about 8$ from ebay)
lemme know if you have any more questions :>

Thanks, the rubber at the front, is it loose or does it feel like it will loosen up in time? I have ordered one anyway because I like bumper cases. Thanks

Its very tight, it wont loosen as the side plastic holds it at place, its an unibody case tho, so the rubber wont separate from the plastic bit. But its quite good, disallows the specs of dust and sand to get in between the case and the metal bezels of the phone, overall i'm very satisfied with it on that area.

The grip is great, buttons work very well and it lets heat escape.
I own two spigen, uag and many cheap ones.
I prefer this one any day.
I bought the gray first. Loved it except the front part is gray.. I thought it was black like all the others with the colors on the back.
Anyway, a few weeks ago I bought the orange and I absolutely love it.
I like it so much. That I already bought the other two colors, red and blue.. ?

Many vendors selling the same thing.. Just pick one with good reviews
Good luck

Leather Sleeves Anyone?

I've noticed a lot of posts about cases, bumpers, etc. If you are like me, you are not a huge fan of hiding a beautiful new phone you just bought. No offence to those that like cases, I just like to enjoy the phone without any 'additions'.
I've always been a big fan of leather sleeves / pouches. They are a great way to prevent scratches and even save your phone from mild drops when you aren't using it. When you have your phone out you have a nice space to lay it on that won't get it scratched either.
So far I have seen the leather sleeve made by SENA:
- http://www.senacases.com/product/heritage-ultraslim-samsung-galaxy-s6/
I'm wondering if there are any other sleeve fans out there and if anyone else has found any sleeves / pouches that are a slim fit and of high quality?
The one linked above won't be available until late may
Cheers!

This one for example?

Nice find. I just took a look at the site, it's too bad they don't make any full pouches without a cutout on the bottom. I don't really want any part of the phone exposed except for on the top open side of course.
How do you find it?

I'm the same way, I hate putting a case on my phones.
I bought this one for my S6 : fitBAG Black Nappa Leather.
I really like it, it's very thin with a nice material insides that helps remove fingerprints if there are any (I was quite surprised that both the front and the back don't take fingerprints easily, which goes completely against what I've seen in some reviews..) and will for sure not scratch the phone.
It's good quality, well made, and real leather.
It only has an opening on top and the phone is completely covered and won't fall off by itself, though it's not hard to remove it if you press the phone on the bottom of the pouch (it fits perfectly without being incredibly hard to put in and remove).
I hope that helps you.

I've heard very good stories about these leather pouches on Etsy. While not the cheapest, I've read they are of great quality and look good. All handmade and in case you wanna use it in combination with an extra case/bumper she'll custom make them for you. I've ordered one 2 days ago, expecting to get it next week (along with my S6 ).
I'll let you know how it is.

I got this one for myself, I am very happy with it.
