hey guys,
I'm looking for a good black silicone case for the S. I came across http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/tech-21-silicone-case-for-google-nexus-s-black-p27176.htm this one but I was wondering if anyone tried it and if it had that same problem as the one my friend had with the space behind it ( dont really wanna stuff the case just so it doesn't move in the case)
I use one of these with the Nexus S and its pretty good. Its made out of that new d30 material that was on Dragons Den, absorbs most of the shock if you drop the phone. The guy on there had his iphone in one and was throwing it around the room and then showing it had no damage (shame I haven't thrown the nexus S around with it on but it feels quite robust.
There is no space behind the phone, its a tight fit so dont worry about that. Also its got that nice smooth material feel to it where its a bit slidey in your hand, not so much you might drop it but slippy all the same.
My only quibble with this case is that it picks up fluff and dust very easily. It wipes off easy enough but its still a pain in the arse to do every time its been in your pocket which if like mine are full of fluff and other crap
Anyone tried this pouch?
I like the idea of being able to have it protected while its away, but also still enjoy a free device while using it. How is the bulk on the case Tech 21 makes?

Finally! a case that looks some what decent
do they have more colours to choose from, black is boring and that website is not very friendly, as it doesn't provide enough information about the item

So i got this idea from one guy who put the 3M carbon fiber skin on EVO, But the problem was the curvy shape of my beloved Nexus. So I tried a few things and wasted some Vinyl but finally i bought Best skins ever skin for $8 and used it as a stencil and cut out the vinyl with my xacto. here are the pics. I liked it a lot so i thought i'll share with you guys.
That.....Looks.....AMAZING! Do tell....
Wanna give me the skin you didn't use? ;-)

Agreed, you've 'riced' up your phone.
i dont think its any more ricing up than putting on a case. isn't ricing up to give it some sort of performance enhancement that doesn't really enhance anything?
Well I know why some of you don't like it. as my wife does not like it too she also has a nexus and she likes the feel of 'naked phone' if i may say .
My only problem with cases is that if i use them then my desk-dock becomes useless. plus i dont like always to be super careful about keeping my phone anywhere and scratch it.
you know what, it looks pretty good but the only problem is the weave is too large. maybe get a smaller weave vinyl.
care to share the stencil?

FYI you guys can get overstock Carbon fiber sheets and m3 adhesive strips like used above from a guy named racingjeff on ebay. What this stuff is microthin carbonfiber with m3 adhesive on the back. They use it to make the CF dash boards in teh bling bling honda's you see on the road. I've deal with Jeff for years buying real overstock 3mm CF sheets. Guys a really good guy.
Personally I don't think it looks bad at all. I wouldn't do an entire phone in carbon fiber but it looks nice enough to me.
I'm going to cover my HD2 battery door using the same carbon fiber sheet. I'm also considering buying a couple of battery doors from ebay and experiment a little. I want to polish one battery door to a "mirrior finish" and I want to try painting one using Krylon just to see how it will come out.
I've painted all sorts of crap like Blackberry housings, golf clubs, furniture and I have the technique and prep work down to a science so we'll see how it goes and I'll make sure to post pics when complete.
I applaud dude for having the balls to experiment!

I like it but the CF grids are a little large. I would like a tighter patterns. Heres the guy I use. Granted its not going to be $8 because its real CF.

Email him and tell him what your planning to do, he's super cool and will send out samples and all his stuff is the real deal, not look alike CF.
Is there a ay you help me out, on how to make the vinyl go so nicely around the corners? specially on the curvy parts... ive tried b4 with other vinals, and i cant get it to go nice on the curves, i always get extra stuff
Anybody out there like me and like having a complete custom case to show off when you pull out your modified, super fast Galaxy S? Well you're in luck my friends, a company called Case-Mate now sells custom Barely There cases.
A little background - Case-Mate is a company based in Atlanta that has been making cell phone cases for just over five years. In the past a cell phone case was about protecting your phone. Case-Mate has decided to change the market and offer cases that are meant to express you. With this philosophy in mind they have now launched a program called I Make My Case. With this feature they now give the consumer the ability to design their own custom case. You can choose to upload an image, say a company logo, family pet or something far more kick a$$ than that. The images aren't just printed on your phone where they can be peeled or easily scratched off. They have new state of the art technology that actually embeds the image into your case.
The Barely There design is just that.. Barely There. It gives your phone added protection without taking away the sleek design of your phone. Not to mention free screen protector included
Who doesn't want their own unique case?! I have made two of my own custom cases and the quality is incredible. Just need a 2 MP picture
If you are interested here is the web site -
http://custom.case-mate.com/diy/devices/samsung-galaxy-s-barely-there-custom-case
It is $34.99 for the Barely There model not bad for a complete custom case

Humm alright, thanks for that!
And one thing just to be sure.... is it a cover to protect the phone or is it the back cover for battery?
Hummm.... Like is it the cover you can take off the back to get to the battery or is it a cover to protect the phone which you put over it?
Thanks!

Its a cover to protect the phone. It gives a small lip over the screen to you can set it on the front and not have it resting on the screen. I personally like it because it doesn't add any bulk while adding protection.
this looks great, website loads...but when i choose the design a case link it says "design your case - Now loading..." and doesn't get any further, tried on IE and FF.
Anybody else able to get on the design page atm?
Same thing here!
waste of time. doesn't work. stuck on loading
why didn't they have this when I bought my barely there ....
Still it's a pretty neat idea & fun ....
Here's one I made, but didn't order .... but just might ....

No, unfortunately the big wigs didn't listen when I said that was better. Were working on the galaxy s 2 now and I think I've convinced them to do tough for that

these are not customizable, but something different, its available for other phones and model.
Do any of the Galaxy S variant cases fit the Galaxy SL GT-I9003? I tried the Galaxy S I9000 Tough Case at a local shop on my Galaxy SL and it didn't fit.
Has anyone bought of these covers ?

If yes, do they fit well on the phone ? and do they protect it well ?
no but nice!!!
i send them a message and asked what it was made of, and they said plastic and aluminium.
I think i'll buy one.... or 2

Wow looking nice, better than the cases i have at the moment.
May interfere with GPS signal?
the antenna is in the bottom section of the phone, so i'd think that having a metal back wouldn't make a difference.
I think i'm gonna buy one, so i'll tell everyone how it is once it arrives

I've already got a silicone case, and i've ordered 2 of the cases i linked to.
Thanks anyway though, i might get one of those sometime in the future.
i'm always changing the case im using so having more than one isn't a problem.
Also are there any videos of that case in action ?
save your money - i bought a black one and it was rubbish
getting it on was very stiff, you had to push the on button on the top much harder than normal and after a few days the aluminium unstuck from the plastic and i thre the whole lot away...

My Desire HD arrives in the morning, so I've just ordered a 99p silicone jobby off ebay - really not expecting much for 99p, but it should keep it nice while I do some research into the perfect case!!
I've had a hero and it's had a silicone case on it for the last 18 months - it looks pretty much like new. So who knows, maybe 99p will be enough of an investment!

I bought one for my DHD when i got it in december and it's been on it ever since, it fits perfects and has protected my phone since i put it on
i have a silicon case for mine and use it when im at work, remember the phone is an aluminium shell and a screen so its pretty well protected, i use a case to protect from scratching my pretty chocolate coloured phone
Hi guys,
Got my case from Mobile Fun today. Decent case but not really worth the price it's at. It's just that I hate S-Line cases so I had to get something else for now.
Have attached a couple of pictures.

Does this case give full rear and side protection, and does it raise slightly to give a lip over the screen if you lie the phone face down. Also is that the clear version. Thanks .

The protection is full rear and side. So pretty good in that sense. However, the lip is there but it is only ever so slight.

Hi,
I just ordered this case too. Why do you say it's not worth the price? What aren't u happy about? Can you give me some insight while I can still cancel the order?
I picked this one cause It's clear and it has the rubber feel (I dont like the solid cases like the S shape one).
Btw, I never used a case before, I always had my phones naked but I don't want to risk with this baby N4
Case does great for me. Means I can hold it safer without risk of dropping
Some pictures to try and help - not sure they actually show anything.
My only negative feedback so far: Sometimes I think the power button isn't as responsive as I'd like because of the extra plastic cover but that's minor and I'll get used to pressing the button a little more.
I've actually got the exact same case on my phone as I type this. I quite like the case, it's cheap so I can't really complain about it.

I have this case too (smoke version). I'm quite impressed with it TBH. It's more rigid than the usual TPU cases and will offer a bit more protection (I hope)
You can still see the writing on the back through the case, but not the nice shiny bits.
It's not as 'grippy' when lying on the table as some of my previous cases, but grippy enough not to slide off easily.

Pretty interesting product. I like the fact that they seem to lay a little flatter than the FlyGrip. I'd definitely pick up the case with the sockets integrated into it but they don't seem to offer one for our phone.

I like that it's reusable and can be moved around wherever you want
I have it pretty much in the middle of the phone's back in the outside of my phone case which saved me from having to buy a new case since it also functions as a viewing stand! Neat little gadget for bigger devices and tiny hands

The girl who waited on me when I was buying my v10 was using one on her phone and really liked it.
I was tempted but since I already had my flygrip I decided to save the 14.99 (for a 2 pack in store)
If they had been selling 1 for $7 I probably would have bought it!
It's really the first time I've seen one of this type of product available in store vs online. It's about time!
Glad to hear it's working for you and that it's available with different options online.
Now I have another choice if I want something new!

+1...sounds like a great idea but im wondering how well it will stick to the v10
I'm pretty sure it's just using the 3m adhesive which is the same thing my flygrip uses. No problems here. It's stuck on nice and tight.

I picked one up from Amazon while Christmas shopping. I had never heard of them before seeing this thread a few weeks ago.
I have to say, it's an awesome product. Works great as a stand while watching videos, and really helps in handling such a large device. Hitting the second screen with one hand is easy now.

No one has/had any issues with it detaching from the back of our wafflesque surface phones? I like the product and could see using it, but I'm looking for confirmation that it worked on a stock phone without a case.
Thanks in advance for replies.
I have used one on my phone without a case. It worked great. I took it off when I added a Spigen case and have been too lazy to put it back on. My wife is very small and she loves it on her Samsung S3 phone. And yes you can take them off and reuse them over and over. Nice invention.
