No one seems to mention how horrible and inconvenient the xda case is. The xda was bad, because you had to open it to answer the phone, but the xda II is awful as it opens from the top, and when you use it not only do you have to open it, you've also got a horrible case flapping around all over the place. Lucky I'm not trying to look cool with my new phone!
No, seriously, has anyone found a better case? I want one that doesn't have to be opened to use the phone, but also protects the thing properly, as I've just had a bad experience with my old xda (apparently) getting irreparably damaged without me even noticing...
Thanks
I'm waiting for an i-Volution case from Vaja ; I had one for my XDA1 , and it was absolutely perfect !
I still use the "Rugged" Krussel case i used for my XDA. Works pretty good.

The Aluminum one is on my christmas list.
Hmm.. one you don't have to open. I like that idea.

looking cool
to be really ice cold cool.
don't have phone,pda or credit cards.
Let you manservant carry those..
Thanks for the suggestions. Wheere does the aluminium one come from?
I think I'll wait until I've finally decided I like the xda II and wouldn't rather sell it, and then I'll cut holes in the original leather case! Very distressing to find I can't turn the phone off using the red button, though...
Check this case out, makes it easy to use bluetooth.

Would the Aluminum case hinder reception? I would think so if it covers the antenna area of the XDAII/iMate
And why no lanyard loop? I added a lanyard to my XDA ant this was quite helpful in keeping me from dropping it.

Good luck finding someone to swap for an ordinary black cover. I have seen some that were spray painted white. I'm not fond of having something painted in my pocket, but there are probably better paints available since I painted my pager 15 years ago.
I have a white Fascinate and my co-worker has the black. It is not just the battery cover that is white, it is also the piece around the phone above the chrome.

Same here. The volume rocker, power button and micro usb port cover are also pigmented white. With out those particular parts being white, I think a white cover on a black phone would look rediculous.
Now you guys are just being picky. Ill be happy with just the white battery cover. So what about the volume rocker and USB cover.

i was just playing with a white fascinate at best buy and it felt sturdier than ours does
Why not just wrap the back with a Zaggskins? So many more options for customization than just black or white.
also check out http://www.decalgirl.com/item.view/53217, available in a matte finish. I don't know what their template for the back actually looks like and if it's a seamless application (without cutouts to address the corners) but you can get a matching front as well.
Mass produce please
Would someone please just start mass producing back covers in different colors and materials for this device. I'd love an aluminium one or any metal in that case, even wood would be cool OR JUST PLASTIC in different colors! I feel like there is high enough demand for this, yet no one has jumped the gun to go on Alibaba and find a factory willing to pump them out.
Sourcingmap.com represents a China factory that is already making replacement battery covers for the Galaxy i9000. I sent an email to suggest a few tooling changes to open up a much wider market...
Hey I got my decal girl skin yesterday and LOVE it. It fits perfectly on front of phone and the back piece is a solid piece without slits. The entire side around the whole phone is not covered but it gives good contrast. Exactly the look I was looking for. Most of my friends are amazed with how it looked and thought I had gotten a new phone. A+ for decal girl. I'm now looking to skin all my portable electronics. By the way hooray for smart keyboard pro with iPhone skin. I don't know but I came from an iPhone and this keyboard is one of the most accurate with the iPhone like correction. Awesome keyboard.

Any chance we could see a pic of the installed skin? I spent a little time talking with a decalgirl rep and decided not to go with their product because it sounded like the coverage on the back corners wasn't sufficient.
Ill try to get pics up. I work retail commission so I'm stuck at work. And I only have the back on now. My 1 year old ripped the front right off in two pieces.

Spoke with both Best Buy and Samsung today in my free time at work.
Best Buy said to contact their parts department at 1-888-237-8289
Samsung Rep also told me to call parts and said they will be able to place the order for you.
"Melvin: You can call official Samsung parts dealer at 1800-627-4368. Timings: Mon – Fri. 9am to 6pm EST."
I haven't called either yet, but will get around to it to see if we can buy a replacement and the cost of it. (I can't imagine it would cost more than the black which is about $7-8)
Sweet let us know

to those that plan to skin their phones, do you plan to put it in a case?
I have a nice case (platinum from best buy) but between the case and the clip, there is no point for me to skin the phone or buy a white case.
I'm curious what you will do once you skin it? will you just use a slip case?
If i had get another case to have the white color, i'd do this one.

That wouldn't work really work on the Fascinate seeing as the battery door is the entire back of the phone, and the sides... that would be almost exactly the same as having a case.

I have sent Seidio an email about this exact issue. They make a extended battery door with that ruberized feel. It is just like the texture they use on their cases. I asked them if they would make a battery cover for the standard battery and he replied that they would look at developing one. I hope they do.
That would be cool I would stop having to catch my phone from slipping

O well.... I got a new email from them.
Looks like we need more people to request this. I would seem that it would be VERY easy for them to manufacture this because they have all the tooling already made from all the other products that they already are making.
** PASS THE WORD **
This is the same thing they were saying about making ANYTHING for the fascinate before people started requesting.

Hey guys I don't know if my rep was misinformed or what but I said many users would like a rubberized back for the slim extended battery (same size as ours) and this was what I got.
Thank you for your inquiry at Seidioonline. We are more than happy to assist you with your concern. Unfortunately at this time we are not selling the back door for the extended battery for the Fascinate. We will sell that back door soon but as of the moment we do not have an ETA on when it will be available for purchase separately. We apologize for the inconvenience Your business and continued satisfaction is of great importance to us here at Seidioonline Customer Service, so feel free to contact us at(832) 204-1118 with any questions.
the rep could be confused and referring to the bigger battery or something...but we'll see

I hope they do... waiting...
just get the OEM kickstand case I made a thread about in this forum. It will give you the grip you're looking for without adding hardly any bulk and it gives you a kickstand to boot...
else, just spray a rubberized coating on your current battery door.
Thanks, but that case adds too much bulk to fit docks that require the device to be 'naked'

Anyone that really wants one should email them and request that they make it.
The only way they will know if it would be popular is if we write them.

I might be interested in that, as mentioned you have peel the phone out of the kickstand case to dock.

Until you drop your delicate phone, it breaks, and you realize the minimal added bulk from a case would have saved you a lot of $$$ and time. Also, that's kind of a silly thing to say considering all phones come naked.
<--Used to say he'd never use a case either, but after his tank-like Droid 1's screen inexplicably cracked from a 3-foot fall will never go without one again.
I stumbled on this http://cheapdroids.com/T-Mobile-G2-Monaco-Aluminum-Case-Black-Open-Screen-Design.html
and was wondering if anyone had it or had reviews about it, looking to see that it wont interfere with keyboard like some do.
Hey quick question! This case does not open the keyboard right?

From the picture it looks like a solid one-piece, but then how would you get the phone in there?
"The lock on the side holds the top and bottom of the case tightly together and prevents the case from accidentally opening"
It seems that it's some kind of lock, so that would mean it's openable, but don't hold me to that
*Edit*: http://cheapdroids.com/T-Mobile-G2-Monaco-Aluminum-Case-Silver-Open-Screen-Design.html
Thats the silver one, there you can see the long mechanism a bit better, so from the looks of it, you can still open it.
Ohh I didn't see that shot great gonna order one

Could you let us/me know how it is? It looks rather interesting
Definitely looking forward to an XDA member's review on this with better pics!
Once I get it pics and review will be up i really just want something easier to take on an off then the ones that tmobile has cause I use a case for work which is painting, and the tmobile cases felt like i would screw the phone up taking them on and off alot.
I am very interested in this case as well and will probably order. I found a different seller on eBay selling this case, link below. It includes more pictures as well.

Also found this retailer that has a video of it, looks slightly bulky.

Well a lot of people around here are looking for that. Something to lock the keyboard in place during normal day to day use. That way it isn't opening in your pocket and stuff like that.

Yea that works out for them but it means im still on the hunt >>
I agree in theory you shouldn't have to need this case. But if you are like me, my phone hinge is loose and it feels wobbly to even text. So if this case can hold the goods together securely then it looks like its worth it.
Just ordered one. Let's see if its better then the otterbox.

Looks sturdy. The added bulk keeps me away though.
I agree, I am worried about the excess bulkiness. Looks like a brick! All my friends have iPhone 4's so I dont want to pull out something looking a decade old! However pics and youtube videos can be deceiving. The G2 is a beautiful phone and doesnt seem to show scratches easy. I too have the loose hinge and like I said in a previous post, scotch tape on the sides is the best answer!

Agreed. I always find myself buying cases for all of my devices. 2 weeks later i end up ditching them going back to naked. right now i just have the stealthguards full body protector on which is excellent even for 10$. I, for one, hate the g2's keyboard, however, its one of the best ones out thus far. (if that makes any sense)
Anybody who ordered this case received it yet? Ordered mine on the 17th and still hasn't arrived....

DO NOT ORDER. Took forever to come and the case is complete crap. Finish sucks. Build sucks. Overall suck

So as we all know, the nexus 4 is really fragile. 1 small drop cracks the front and back glass in many cases. The FlyGrip acts like a "handle" for your phone, and it functions as a kickstand.

We shouldn't have to 'stick' anything on the back of any product to get the full use out of it. Bumpers are removable w/o leaving any trace, decent screen protectors are removable and leave no trace, car parts are removable and leave no trace, etc.
Garbage product idea.
There's so many jobless product designers w/ great ideas for products and these clowns hired some idiots to make such a useless product/concept come to fruition.

As a standalone, it is a little lame, but integrated into a case, where the clip would fold in flat, then it's not a bad idea. Much better than regular kickstands. They should sell the patent to a case manufacturer.

HIDEOUS!! I wouldnt attach this to my red painted backup phone for free.
Wanna see who will really stick one of this crap on their phones.
If this were a $7 item I would probably get it.
ive seen cases with kickstands that are more bulky and ugly while being less useful. it comes with a case so i think it's for putting on the back of a case. i wouldnt get one for the nexus 4 but it might not be a bad product for larger phones like the note or some 6" phones that we will see soon.
Whats with all the hate...if you dont like it dont buy it. There's no need to get upset.
it's actually a very good product. If any of you follow qbking77 on youtube he uses them quite often. It's not really meant to prevent you from dropping your phone like the OP is suggesting. The purpose of the flygrip is to allow you to use the phone one handed with much more ease especially larger devices and you can also keep a hold of it easier when you're laying in bed without dropping your phone on your face. For that purpose it actually works quite well I just wouldn't attach it directly to the device itself.
