As one of the many people here that had/is having issues with finding the RIGHT case for their precious Epic 4G, due to the limited selection of quality cases, I decided to look into Golla pouches.
Golla has a line of product called SMART pouches, are designed to hold your phone, plus headphones or maybe some cash or cards in the back.
The case has velcro to close the pouch, and additional smaller pocket in the front, and in the back of the pouch a small zippered compartment. There is a belt loop on the back and a carabiner clip to clip to belt loops or purses or whatever.

Review: These SMART pouches retail for about 16-20 dollars, but are easily found on ebay anywhere from 7-10 dollars shipped. I paid $9.99 with freeshipping which I consider very reasonable.
I got the Golla Smart Hasty bag, which is made from a Canvas/denim exterior and a polyester interior. First thoughts, were that the bag quality is MUCH nicer than what I was expecting. In pictures and video reviews of the Golla bags, they tend to look lightweight and not very sturdy, but this bag is VERY nice.
I work at a theatre designing/sewing costumes for productions, so I pay attention to fabric/production quality and I was thinking this pouch wouldn't be that great of quality build/stitching wise, but was pleasantly surprised! The pouch feels like it could go through lots of usage and not be damaged! And the attention to small details through the pouch is very nice. The design on the front/inside is very detailed and very subtle!
The inside padding isn't very thick, so this pouch won't protect from heavy falls or other types of heavy damage, but its very easy to put/remove the Epic from the pouch! The Epic sticks out about 1/4-3/8s of a inch out of the top of the pouch. but it doesn't affect the ability of the velcro to close. It hangs very conveniently from my belt, and its very easy to access all of the pockets on the pouch!
Overall, i'm very happy with the pouch, and will be using it daily until a better quality case comes out for the Epic!
I'm glad you like it, and thanks for the review. I am a case/clip/pouch/bag junkie, I mean horribad. I went through maybe 15-20 case during my iphone days, 10 during the blackberry phase, 3 with my nexus and 3 already for my epic. I had the same one from Golla as you in Orange and grey and gave it to my mother for her vibrant and I ordered the Golla Gavin Wallet. Ill do a review and post it here for Epic owners, however someone has gotten one and posted a review from an Evo perspective.

cool I'm looking forward to this then, had the had case but a pain to take out of my pocket
That's a pretty nice looking case right there. I don't know if I could ever get away from the traditional case. I hate things in my pockets

Whenever I get dressed in the morning, I slide the golla pouch on my belt. Its actually really handy. It leaves my pockets free to put my keys or whatever in, and I'm not worrying if my phones in my pocket or not.
I also keep a tiny MicroSD reader, and my headphones in the back of the pouch.
is it an extremely tight fit? or will it support a future extended battery and such.
got the same one OP has. Mines doesn't fit as well as OP. My Epic sticks out about 2-3mm more than the picture shown above.
beware, the authentic golla pouches have a distinctive 2 velcro flap. Some of the ones on ebay are fakes.

Ebay - best price, search Golla Bags,
Can the OP or someone post a link to a reputable seller on ebay for these bags? There are a lot of fakes and stuff on ebay, just trying to avoid the bad ones. Thanks.
I see this done for the battery thread so I hope people don't get too angry about me requesting it. Sorry folks.

Hello! I got my Golla case from this seller for 9.99 with free shipping:
Golla Bags
BEWARE that not ALL of the Golla bags are GOLLA SMART which are the size that fits the Epic. You might have to do some research on the Golla website to make sure that the style you are getting is one of the SMART line.

anyone else ordering?

i like the barely there by case-mate better.
Could you post pics of it after you get it? Its always so hard to tell what the color is going to look like from the ad photos - the case mate barely-there case's black color just looks too contrasting from the gunmetal. I'm hoping this will match a bit better.
will it still fit the google dock ????

I doubt it (i dont have one though) as the docks are designed to fit snuggly with the phone, so i suspect the only thing that will fit with the dock will be those shield type cases e.g. Zagg Invisishield.

Good timing isn't it with the mothers day sale on
The only down side is with this one they don't have any screen protectors like they do with the 3GS version
So i just need to decide on one of those
got mine today
looks pretty good gotta say and adds little bulk
i had a gelli case on it before that i liked, but it was difficult to take on and off to put in my car dock.
i'll post pics later for any interested ppl

Please do!
Also.. what kind of feel does it have? Is it a soft-touch finish
yea lets see pics!
x3 on the pix!
Mine arrived yesterday which i wasn't expecting
Overall I'm happy with it, I don't think I would have paid the full $19.99 for it as its a bit flimsy looking. I was expecting the case to be more like the iphone 3gs version which has a rubbery feel to it.
It's easy to pop in and out of the case.
The gap for the volume controls could be thinner.
I don't have any of the google docks but I would probably bet you'd have to take the phone out the case.
Some of the guys at work that have N1's have the Zagg Invisishield so if you are feeling anal the incipio will fit over that
I'll get some piccies today
pix
like bewa mentioned it's not the same rubbery feel to it like the iphone case, which what i was hoping but this is good to imo since often times those cases with the rubbery feel end up peeling at some point. this case is pretty thin, thin enough where if it were made of the same material it wouldn't feel any different than stock.
It's a good light weight unobtrusive case for everyday use, I figure I can slap on the gelli case for the occasional drunken night out.
sorry for the crappy pics
cheers dude
Updated the first post with a link to your post
I'm sure you can find something like this on ebay soon. In Hong Kong you get the same case for $2.00, quality is good too.
thx for the pics. I wish someone would maek this style of case without the obnoxiously huge logo on the back.
i've been waiting for the feather for a long time now cause i thought it was going to be like the iphone's feather, but it doesnt seem to be.
any chance of getting a picture of the inside? is the inside of the case rubbery like the iphone or shiny?
i also dont like how it doesnt cover the corners fully. if you drop it, it'll probably take a toll on your corners.. maybe i should try the barely there
anyway,
thanks a lot for the pictures, definitely helping out my decision

its the same on the inside as it is on the outside i'm afraid :S
I was hoping even that would have some sort of grip on it but no it doesn't!
I just can't understand why they've gone for this approach on the feather for the N1 rather than the same as on the iphone versions! personally that would have been better in my view!
I held out on a case for this one based on the experience i had with the 3gs and i think after a week of usage (or less) i'm pretty dissapointed
I'll keep the case on and search for something similar to the 3GS version and look for a screen protector that doesn't reduce touch screen responsiveness...
case looks alright but I feel it's lacking a decent amount of coverage. Think I'll stick with my Seidio Innocase II
Once someone makes one please post details in this thread.

Just bought one of the body glove cases with a kickstand online for 17.95 with a free shipping code. I know someone in another thread got this as well recently and the pics he or she posted looked good in regards to quality but taking it apart may be a bit of a chore.
I'll post the link if anyone wants it, but I'll repost once I receive the case. I hope it works!
Post the link w/pics when u get a chance. I must have a kickstand case!
I know the Body Glove kickstand case for the HD2 was a bit of a pain to remove and seemed CLICK so loudly that people feared it might damage their device. Does the Sensation version go on and off without any noticeable issues?

Just got back from lunch and I got my bodyglove case. It is indeed the same you get at the tmo stores, but cheaper somewhat . As for the case, it works, it adds a bit to the phone which I am on the fence on right now. I kinda like it but takes away from the beauty of the phone. I took off the clip and put in the tab so that I would have a flat tab so that I can fit it into the leather case I also have.
I did try the stand. It works but seems a bit flimsy. I just don't like having my phones' face exposed to the elements like door jams and door handles and desk drawers at my office, so that is why I chose to not have that clip on. I don't know...I may want to sell this case in a day....anyone want it for 15 bux shipped?
Anyways here are the pics taken from the sensation. I do not have any pics of the case with the actual case on of course

I would be considering the body glove case for my new sensation, but the same case on my G2X actually started scratching the side of my phone. It's plastic on plastic, it makes scratches. Maybe it's different cause of the shape of the sensation (I hope so), but beware.

The only plastic is actually the top part that snaps on. It is kinda flimsy but fits nice and flush with the phone and no movement what so ever.
After a few hours, the case is growing on me but I may want to just get rid of it and buy the leather one from expansys that ships in a week.

I sued my landlord for $3000
I have some extra cash for the summer
The problem was that I had rodents (disgusting), so they took longer than 30 days
So I took a couple of pictures and threatened them to go to court and file for A LOT more money that my original request ($3K)
SO I had a meeting with the Vice-President of the corporation, it was a pretty nasty meeting, but anyway, I got my money
Bottom line is "A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS "
In my case, I spend $5 printing two pictures, I showed them to the Vice-President, and then we settled off-court

Hey where did you get that pouch to the right of the body glove?
I haven't seen any videos of this case, so I thought I'd put together a quick review for you guys. It's a pretty neat case, I kind of prefer it to the TPU-Cases model, I just wish the top was completely covered.
Also, the title should read "qubits" not "quibits".
Love the video, looks very professional. On a quick note. I wanted to point out that Yoobao has a somewhat similar TPU case with that missing top part that you mention was missing cover.
Here is a link for it:

How does it fit? Is it really tight? I'm looking for a TPU case because the Tmob case I got when I got the phone is simply way too floppy and loose. That Yoobao you posted is exactly what I'm looking for because I want a clear case to show off the phone's design. If the fit is tight and the cutouts all align nicely I'm purchasing it immediately lol.
To stay on topic, the OP's video looks very professional and I've looked at the Qubits case a lot too.

It fits like a glove, no flimsiness and not loose at all! Every single cutout is made EXACTLY where it needs to be. I was amazed by that.
Thanks for the review. Looks like a better case than the rubber one I got from T-Mobile for $20. The case is too loose around the sides. I already scraped the side with my key. I will be buying one of these TPU's.

1 more question: how long did it take for you to get it? I really want to try it out, but I'm leaving for college in 13 days, so the fact that it's shipping from Hong Kong kinda makes me worried that I wouldn't get it in time.
If in the uk amazon sell the grey one through a seller named "podjunkie" bit the order is fufilled by amazon

i got similar case ( black , not transparent and slightly different in design) as OP from amazon for $5.99 with free 2 days shipping ( 4 bucks cheaper ^^). This is really good case, fit tight and look awesome. As OP said,only weak point is that this case doesn't cover the top ( i guess they decide to design this way so you can put in/ or take off the case easier. I have similar type of this case for my mytouch 4G, my nexus S and it is a little bit more difficult to take the case off or put it in) This is always my first choice when i buy my phone's case.

Looks similiar to the rearth rinke and diztronic ultra thin cases. Try one and give a review!
Hmmm... you can get similar case for 9.99 though.
If SGP made a bumper, I'd be all over.
The ultra thin case does look similar to those on eBay indeed.
what is up with the cutouts on the render? they are awfully tiny on the volume and power. I hope that's not how it really looks but it's not really worth it since you can get the same thing from rearth.
I'll pass. I can have two different colors Ringke Slim cases for that price.
It also includes a screen protector. That's worth the price. Buying one now.
I hope they make a clear version :fingers-crossed:

not if you already have the screen protector. I might buy it anyways but gonna dig around for a coupon code first.

A Neo Hybrid Ex Bumper to be exact, and I will gladly pay $20-$30.
Go to their FB page and post that you want a bumper case, their already a few post already doing the same.
Sent from my Nexus 4
posted on their fb wall about having other thin cases out there with way lower price that what they'll be offering. also pointed out the how poetic bumper sales are thriving for their bumper case...
their response was "the price depends on what the package comes with"...so I had guessed they'll include their screen protector with the case...but still cant see why they proceed with the project when you can get the same case for around $2 on ebay..
This case is quite a disappointment...I associate SGP with making unique cases, not something so obviously generic looking. I'd really like to see them release something for the Nexus 4 like the Neo or Ultra Hybrids they had for the Galaxy Nexus, or the Linear Metal or Hybrid EX cases they have for the iPhone 5. Now those all look unique from the other stuff out in the market currently.
they will, it will take some time though because on the limited availability of the phone

I think the quantity of these phones in the market is enough to warrant a good sale...just look at the poetic bumper case :
ebay = 818
amazon = more than 149 (based on reviews number, so the exact quantity should be more than that)
They've raked up more than $10 grand of revenue from a single case model...
and sales from both sites are still counting, since other case manufacturers are still skeptic of the market size for this phone's casing...
received my case today!
feels nice, smooth of course lol.
but it feels a bit loose, but it does hold the phone in. The top part of the case is a bit loose with the phone in it, the bottom part is firm and in place.
Maybe because i have a back screen protector on it, but i highly doubt it.
gonna shoot them a email in a bit about it
this is so going to be a product marketing failure...
throwing something very few wants, in a market already filled with it, at a higher price...thats like 3 flukes in one go
its like selling shaved ice out in the cold, in the middle of winter, at a higher price than in summer.
disappointed in SGP
-sigh-

Did you see if you could bend the corners in for a better fit? Kind of like with the original, non-revised Ringke Slim.

lol! :laugh::laugh:
What we really need is a case that only covers the top and bottom and leaves the sides exposed. Would love to take full advantage of those curved edges.
At $39.99, I don't think it's worth it, but with 50% off sale going on now, I ordered one for $21 (tax included).

Discount will show up after add to cart.
Nice! Thanks for sharing. Too bad the red one is sold out but it's all good. I was waiting for Best Buy to have it in stock since I have a discount certificate but this is even better!
Where is the leather one..?!

I am itching to buy one, but i have seen way more negative reviews than positives on the magic cover. Anyone want to convince me to pull the trigger?

Its a cover, not a case. It covers the screen, and folds into a stand. Thats all it was ever meant to really do. Protect the screen when its not in use. If you think of it like that instead of 'this doesn't protect my tablet at all!', it really does what its supposed to. The magnets could be stronger (they're strong enough in the kb case,) and it could be a better design like the iPad covers, but for $20? Sure, I'll bite.
its a pile of rubbish at 100% off....
is the keyboard case any better?
I just tryed to buy it but the minute I clicked Buy the price changed to normal. GRR!
please, HELP ME
Can any one help me activate my HTC HD7 T9292, Help me with activation code for my phone.t
At $20 I took the gamble. Worst case scenario I return it for a refund. It's already been shipped. So far so good.

Agreed. A piece of cardboard is a bit better than this overpriced piece of trash.
I just received mine today and I got to say, I am very impressed! Both the package and the cover itself feel very premium.
The cover itself is very thin and light and therefore adds minimal weight and bulk, which I like. Why buy a light and thin device to only make it heavy and bulky with some clunky case? With that said, this is a COVER, not a case.
The magnets are stronger than I expected. The cover stays connected to the device quite well. I didn't think I could do this but it's very easy to flip it from front to back like you would a smart cover.
It's very easy to fold it into a stand. I wasn't sure how to do it at first but it just happened. The magnets definitely helped getting the parts to fold as they should.
The camera app launched very quickly when the flap is folded down. I'm not sure how often I would use this feature as I rarely use the tablet's camera but it's definitely neat.
Had I bought this at full price, I probably wouldn't be as excited. However, at $20, I am VERY happy with it.
just received mine as well. Haven't ripped the seal yet. Video to come.

Got mine couple of days ago and thought I chime in on the product.
First, I'm very glad I paid only $20 for this cover and in all honesty, I think HTC should only charge $10-$15 for this thing. My break down as below.
Design: A-
The design focused on packing in the standard cover features (cover, stands, etc.) into one simple cover. I think the did well with the folding cutouts and magnets are pretty unique.
Applicability/Usuablity: C-
Although the design concept is great, but the actual experience is far from their conceptual design. I think mostly is due to the magnet not begin strong enough on both N9 and the cover. When used to cover the front of the tablet, the magnets is very weak that you can basically slide the cover off the alignment quite easily. This is quite annoying because you then now have to adjust to how you should flip a cover open, basically, it requires you to open the cover gently so that the cover stays aligned with the tablet.
Because the magnet is not strong enough, don't expect the cover to hold on to your tablet slip out of your hand.
Value: C- (for $20) and D-- (for $40)
For 50% off coupon, it's worth a shot but I'm still left unsatisfied because my $8 bumper case (without stand capability) looks and function more sturdier than this cover.
With a $40 price tag, I say F that.
Hope this helps.
