Hey Guys
I've recently purchased an accessory from eBay. It came yesterday and I have got to tell you it's the best case I have bought for the Galaxy S, and I must have bought 6 or 7 cases for it, as I like to change. The case I bought is great, because it frees up space in my pocket because I can carry the cards I use every day (debit cards, membership cards, college card etc...) in the same case as I carry my phone. You can see how the case holds both the phone and the cards in the picture, and their is a compartment behind the cards holder for cash and other items of use (such as my bike key and house key).

I have also seen the video for the Samsung Galaxy S drop test, and me being a 'safety freak' as I don't want it to break, put it to the test whilst it was in this case. The phone simply clips inside and is very sturdy, the phone has never fallen out of its clip and is actually pretty hard to remove, which is something I like for safety reasons. I dropped the phone onto tile flooring whilst the case was closed, from a height of about 7ft. This is little above my height, as I am 6ft2" and whilst making a call it could be easy to drop. The phone was fine, no scratch or scuff marks, and the screen was intact! I have tried this whilst the case is both opened and closed, and it seems that the case almost closes its self when it is dropped to protect the screen which is a massive pro for this casing!
Now, onto the bad things about this casing. As you can see, the hinge is leather, as you would expect it to be for style. This means that you have to fold over the leather {which doesn't damage it in any way}, whilst you are making a phone call, or it just flaps all over your face. The same goes for typing, it's difficult to type fast with both fingers, unless of course you fold the case over, which is no big deal! One other con with this product, is that when you first insert your credit card type objects, they are hard to remove and are a tight fit, but once you've put them in and removed them a few times, it becomes looser and things become much easier.
So theirs my review on this case. You can get it from eBay and I purchased it for £7.90 with free postage and packaging, from a UK supplier, so these aren't manufactured in Hong Kong or China. It's a great product, and if you're looking to free up some space in your pockets, whilst protecting your phone, I would definitely recommend this to you. It also comes with 2 free screen protectors and a cleaning cloth, which aren't great and I personally don't use them as it's gorilla glass, but some people do use them, and you've got 2, so if you put one on wrong or break one, you've got another go, well worth the money! I will shortly take some pictures of my case, and not use the one on eBay which could be seen as biased towards selling the product.
Thanks for reading the review!

Just how hard is it to remove? Is it easy enough to remove that its not a negative when you get in the car and want to move it to the car holder?
It's not of great difficulty to remove, but you will need two hands to remove it. You have to lift it on either side and it unclips.
Thanks for the review, the case looks like a great thing to take out on the town with you, without having 4,5,6 different things to look after.

Here's my case. I bought it at a jumble sale for £0.50p and has seen me through four phones for nearly six years now. A bit clunky but it holds the phone in the front with a Velcro flap and all credit cards, notes my USB etc etc inside. It may not look the most modern but the design and quality is excellent. If it were a little slimmer it would be perfect.
Won't the cards be touching/scratching the Galaxy S?
In which one?

They touch it, but don't scratch the screen. Been using it maybe 1-2 weeks now, and no scratches, it comes with a free screen protector if you wanna put that on but I don't use one. Remember, it's gorilla glass!

got mine today, also not fancy to put on the screen protector ... looks nice and cmon 99p ...
I've got this case, and I absolutely love it. In fact, my 15 year old (who has a Galaxy Portal) wants one for his phone...he thinks it's "cool". I own a Pdair book case, and a few other cases, but this case is definitely the best of them all.

I would delete that second picture. I can read quite a few of the numbers on your credit card and I'm not a determined crook.
Next time just pull the cards out, or just put one that isn't as sensitive.
Just got mine.. the seller kind enough to add me to the safe list so that I can buy the item..
I really like the case, sleek and stylish. You can see that it is really well made..
I got one of these and I'm in two minds about it, on the one hand I really like it the quality is excellent and I got it for a quid when they were on sale.
However, I really would far prefer a flip down because holding it when on a phone call is kinda awkward. It's such a pity because other than that it's pretty much the perfect case.
Hi! Have had this for a while now..and last 2weeks 2 of my bank cards has become unrecognized when trying to use them.. You had cards get broken? Hmm maybe to close to phone magnets? :-(

Anyone else use the G2 with an arm band? I'm thinking of it since I don't want to go out and buy an ipod nano.
Which one are you using and how's the fit?
I have a feeling the G2 feels a bit too heavy for comfortable running, but it's worth a try to ask!
G2 is a bit heavy for armband imo
l think they cost around £10-20 so if you want to use it for running i would just
buy an ipod shuffle £30 or sony Walkman W-series £27 it is waterproof (if where you live rains all the time like here in scotland) and it doesnt have any wire.

^------------ Pretty much what he said. another option though, as it may sound silly is to have a light belt with a side pouch to put the phone in and keep it secured. you can probably combine that with your housekeys and necessary cards and have a 1 pouch for all.

i meant like a vertical pouch that goes on your side not the front. something that is slimmer.. let me see if i can find some pics. brb
edit: something along the same vein as http://www.bargainstation.com/Produ...-Detachable-Shoulder-StrapNylonBlack-Platinum
not exactly this one, but the same idea. I have a plain one that has 2 slots. a big one for whatever electronic i have and a tiny one for keys or cards.
I just hold it in my hand, and I'm a girl. Not very comfortable but it's not the end of the world.
nano and shuffle don't have GPS on them and I can't google tracks or CardioTrainer on them.
I would like a functioning armband also. I can't hold the phone in my hand when I'm on a bike. I have a Nano for music, but I'm also wanting to use Endomondo or Sports Tracker

I used one for my G1 and loved it. When I upgraded to the G2, I got an iarmband to fit it. I also use my iarmband to 'mount' my phone on exercise machines at the gym using the strap doubled over and velcroed with the additional tab.
I began using a football wrist coach with my Touch Pro a few years ago and my G2 fits nicely, as well. (google or bing "football wrist coach" to see more versions than you'll ever need) I stumbled on this while trying to find something in my stash of extra parts to secure the relatively brick-like Touch Pro to my upper arm and reduce the flopping during runs. The wrist coach holds everything securely and I'm not constantly having to readjust it.
When running, I have it rotated so the clear panel is facing away from my body to prevent the phone from hitting my torso. When riding, I have it rotated so the clear panel is on the inside of my wrist, which is convenient for quickly glancing down at the screen while in the aerobars or drops.
Cons:
- the come in several sizes, so you need to find a sporting goods store to assure you choose one that will fit your device and your arm
- you may need an extension cable for your headphones if you want to listen to music on your device while running; the swing of your arm can pull the earphones out of your ears easily - not a problem while riding typically.
e.g. My high-end Shure earphone cables are modular and work perfectly, whereas my mid-range $50 Sony's cables are too short for running comfortably.
As always, YMMV

I have been searching for a running band for months. This looked like the best option on this thread so I ordered one today. I will provide feedback when it arrives.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Finally received and tried the iarmband. It works for my runs. I like that the touch screen works through clear screen cover. Issues are the headphone hole is not perfectly aligned. It is a little tight on the arm, could have more ajustability. Overall I am very happy with this solution, issues are minor. I would recommend.

I have the Arkon SM-Armband and it works amazing and is only $14.95. Maybe find it cheaper on ebay or amazon. Here is the link to view videos and purchase:
<P><P>http://www.arkon.com/sports_armband/tmobile_g2_armband.html
I bought the Arkon SM armband for my G2...
I had read this thread plus the one over at androidforums.com before selecting it.
Here is the link.
EDIT, guess i need to make a couple more posts to put in a link....ok so here is the link text then for someone to copy if desired.
amazon.com/Arkon-Sm-Armband-Blackberry-Motorola-Smartphones/dp/B004VFFT3I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1327086415&sr=8-2
It works ok, although to make it real tight like i like it I put on 2 wristbands first (even though its up on my bicep area), then slide the thing on. Also, any case for the G2 must be taken off for it to slide in....even then its quite a tight fit. Not something you just pop in and go, gotta work it a tad. This is due to phone width, not.....face size....I guess.
Overall, pleased for the 16 bucks i dropped on it.
I bought a cheap armband a while ago off Ebay similar to this.
Works perfectly for me. Touchscreen works through the transparent plastic window.
Had to cut off a very small piece of the neoprene for the headphone plug to fit.
I received some feedback asking me to post instructions on how I made my game clip to hold my phone (Galaxy S III) to a PS3 controller (homemade or DIY Gameclip). I have posted a pdf of the instructions on mediafire and attached a 7zip file of it to this post.
http://www.mediafire.com/view/?gg4lyu663854moa
I first of all would like to say I got the idea from the thread of the GameKlip and thought it was a brilliant idea and a nice product, but I didn't want to spend $30 U.S. (incl. shipping) and wait a couple weeks to get one....and I couldn't keep my case on the phone while I used it, so I made my own. Kudos to the GameKlip if you are interested in getting one.
Here's the latest Gameklip for the Galaxy s3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2027611
I do love using my GameKlip... when not using my extended battery (which I have on most of the time). This will solve all! I wonder if some sort of insulation for pipe/etc could be used to further cushion the phone... hmmm.... Maybe one of the rubber coated hangers.
Either way, how did I not think of this?! I tried sheet metal and other way more complex options, lol.
I'll post my rendition of this! Hope to try it out tonight!
THANKS AGAIN!

Thank you. I have thought about something like plasti-dip ... dip the whole thing after making it...probably would just have to take into account the thickness if the coating while making it.
http://www.homedepot.com/buy/performix-brand-plasti-dip-11603-6.html#.UP1_eGdmO2U
I look forward to seeing your idea of it, please post pics. I have thought of different ways to "design" it, including having only one arm holder at the top. Making the bottom "hooks" up from the button 1 & 2 "towers" to move the phone up, etc... in the mean-time it works well for me...I hope yours does for you.
I got some Plasti-Dip at home I use on my car and thought of that as well. I got a few different ideas I'm gonna try to play with. ... Just a matter of finding time as wife and I are preparing for our firstborn. I'll definitely post pics of whatever I come up with!
possible to do a similar style but for a mini bluetooth keyboard? im having a hard time figuring out that one....
I am sure something is. I don't have a mini blue tooth keyboard. Which one do you have?
Have you seen the universal gameclip? It just sticks to a cheap case? How about a flat piece of metal stuck to case with the phone and velcro'd to the bottom of the keyboard? Could even bend it slightly if you don't want it flat?

Excellent job
That looks pretty darn snazzy. I know I would be employing the "Close enough" meme if I tried to do that.
I have been thinking of something like this but I must design a little differently as I will use it on an xbox360 controller and a 7 inch tablet.

Please post pics for anyone else who may want that setup. I don't have an xbox controller so I couldn't try...it definitely looks a bit trickier. Good luck.
Thanks. I will make pictures for sure. Still in the planning phase for the moment but will work on it next week.
Tried three times and failed. Baby en route, so it's on the back burner.
BTW: the rubber coated hangers SUCK to bend, rubber tears easily! Don't waste one!
I made one with 1 hook on top to hold the phone. The bend makes it act like a spring. It's easier to get the phone out of this one

I made mine using your instructions; I strongly encourage you to get some shrink wrap tubing. It looks much better than whatever old varnish the coat hanger may have left, and there won't be glue smudging as with electrical tape.
I happened to have a slightly larger tube which I used on the hook portion. To make the tips, after having deburred with a file, I simply left some extra length, bent that backwards and finished it off with an additional short tube added in a second pass.
It is preferable to make your bends first, then work the tubing on, as pliers will most likely damage the tubing cosmetically at least.
A small black zip tie secures the mini-USB cable. Not shown in the photos, I found an old camera lanyard and added over the metal frame for some additional security.
Here are the results:

Darkshado
Awesome! Thanks for posting pics! I use the sixaxis app so I don't need the wires but yours looks great with them. I like the tubing too. Your are of course absolutely right about no gummy from the tape with the tubing. I bet it makes it stickier too so the phone won't slide around.

Looks awesome, I'm definitely going to attempt one myself. What diameter heat shrink did you use? (approx)
Thanks! IIRC, the smaller one was 4-5 mm, the larger 10 mm. It can always be cut and removed if the size you're using isn't working, and tubing like this is cheap.
LONG overdue but needless to say I've failed at 3 attempts. Trying to get them perfect and they snap on me. Might just try to mod one of my 1st Gen Game Klips I got laying around since I now have the 7000mAh battery to give me PLENTY of gaming!
Guys its a lot easier to buy a spider podium and wrap it and shape it to fit your phone. Worked perfectly. Only downside is that its unremovable. Just added a camera lanyard

Okay someone probably already thought of this, but here is my story...
Woke up this morning and decided to watch some tennis (Wimbledon) but my bedroom TV is broken... There is my GS4 and I know they are covering the matches on YouTube, so problem solved, right? After about 5 minutes of holding the phone while laying down it soon got old. At first propped it up against the alarm clock but the sound was bad and got to thinking what else can I use? Here is my solution...
Items:
One bi-fold wallet able to stand while partially open.
One rubber/silicon/thin-leather bracelet (optional depending on case or lack there of)
Instructions:
Simply open the wallet to form a "V"
Use the bracelet as base to prevent slippage
Benefits:
Of course, totally portable
The "stand" allows many angles to set your phone it at... Your mileage will of course depend on the type of case (if any) and how slippery your wallet/surface/bracelet is
The side benefit to this is, because the wallet provides a direction bounce surface, the volume actually improved and seems to be coming from right behind the screen.
There you have it. Enjoy.
That's a lot of tennis balls.

If you want a decent stand for your phone, check out the Joby griptight micro stand. I think I paid $24 for mine. It's adjustable, and folds up into something small enough to attach to your keys... Great little stand. The "grip" part can also be unscrewed and used with a tripod...

My cost, well almost nothing. The wallet was a gift 10+ years ago and the bracelet was something I picked up a couple of years ago for a couple of bucks. Plus my "stand" works to make the sound "better". Also again totally portable and something I have with me at all time (IE nothing extra to carry).

Thanks, that is a cool looking stand. I've had a couple of stands, all for my tablets which I've used on occasion with my phone. :silly:
The one I presented here is just for a quick, easy, and most of all, portable "stand" to use.
I have run into one problem with my stand which can occur on really slippery surfaces and that's the thing just sliding around. My solution was to actually use my watch and its band (which is rubber) to counter act the problem. Again something I have with me always and technically is no extra cost.
Recommend the best car mount here for Galaxy S 5.
A bit more expensive, but the CraigsDocks Dock is billet aluminum and low-profile and is true one-hand operation and adjustable to work with S2, S3, S4, Note series and now the S5.
http://www.craigsdocks.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-s4-note-2-3-car-dock/
I've had mine a year and won't have to buy a new one when I upgrade to the S5 because it fits all large Samsung superphones.
It's also adjustable to work with ALL cases, including the extra large cases that have built-in batteries.

The air dock is what ultimately tipped the balance for me getting an S5, after seeing it I knew built-in Qi charging was a must have and since Sprint only offers the Nexus 5 in 16GB flavor (not nearly enough, I've got 15GB of stuff on my SD card today which easily exceeds the 12GB formatted capacity, not to mention 2 years from now).

notice my cd changer is curved out but the rubber "fins" still fit snug and very sturdy. They are rubber and do no damage. if for some reason it just will not fit in there on your car model, you can always send it back worry free (with Prime) but it shouldn't be a problem. the grip has a light rubber pad and is controlled by a spring action adjustment. I love it because i can easily place my phone into it by pushing my phone up and in. I take it out with the same motion, press up and pull out. it is made in Korea and the material and parts are very well made.
I really don't know why some of the people here are buying 50-70 dollar suction phone mounts. that is a total rip off.

thanks for the detailed write-up and pics! I have the phone and iPad version sitting in my Amazon wishlist right now... maybe will push them to checkout next payday
Upon inspection of both of my vehicles, it looks like it will work really well and actually sit at a great height (within arms and eyes reach) and not block any controls to anything else (only blocking a clock in my Civic and a clock/temp screen in my Highlander)
thanks again :good:

notice my cd changer is curved out but the rubber "fins" still fit snug and very sturdy. They are rubber and do no damage. if for some reason it just will not fit in there on your car model, you can always send it back worry free (with Prime) but it shouldn't be a problem. the grip has a light rubber pad and is controlled by a spring action adjustment. I love it because i can easily place my phone into it by pushing my phone up and in. I take it out with the same motion, press up and pull out. it is made in Korea and the material and parts are very well made.
I really don't know why some of the people here are buying 50-70 dollar suction phone mounts. that is a total rip off.

I ordered a similar one, well basically identical, and it fits superbly in my 2008 honda accord exl. It sits just below all the controls. I was some what worried about it not reaching out far enough as the cd player is recessed when compared with all the radio and nav controls. But it's about as perfect as possible. The best part about this mount in my opinion is that it keeps a person like myself from having to many items on the windshield. Without this I'd have- Radar Detector, Phone, toll tag, and gps, way to many things, phone being the largest of them all. Anyway, I'll take some pictures and maybe a mini review later. I highly recommend to anyone who want a good out of the way docking solution.

thanks! I'd love to see pictures. I have an '08 civic ex... by looking at my dash, it seems like it would sit above all my controls and only cover up that little screen that shows the radio station and the time.

I'll take pictures when I get home this afternoon. I forgot my camera at home today. Was a bit flustered this morning. But I'll get you some pics for sure.
