Is "case mate Tough Cases" make the galaxy bigger? One of galaxy I9000 features is that it very thin, Does this case take it away?
Recently I notice that their isn't case mate Tough Cases on EBay anymore.
Is their any specific reason for that?
Yes, the tough cases are noticeably larger than the phone without a case. As to whether or not its too large, i guess that depends. Here's a video I found that might help you.

the tough case is ok.. i prefer the otterbox tho.. OP should check it out as well
had a case similar to this, got annoyed about the size after a while and went without it
Yep. Fat as. I got rid of mine.
what about otterbox ?

Im looking into purchasing a leather case, but im curious if the magnet in the case can have any effect on the phone? Especially the ones in the cheap cases.
like this one... ( i cant post link)
so type
Leather Case Skin for Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G Sprint in the ebay search box and it should come up.
If anyone has any recommendations for other leather cases please let me know. Also feel free to share your experiences with leather cases.
Thank You

Havent had a problem, use a leather magnetic case from eddie bauer that I found at Best Buy mobile.
Does anybody have or use the Seidio leather case for the epic? Just wondering how well it fits the phone or how well the phone slides in and out of it. Also how easily can the magnet be clamped and unclamped while not looking at it.
I bought the bestsources (seller's name, not necessarily a description, though I've had good experiences with them ) case -- I had one for my Touch Pro, one for my N900, and now one for my Epic when it gets here.
In the meantime, I'm using the N900's case for it. Fitting, since I usually used the Touch Pro's case for the N900... :/ I wonder if I'm even going to use the Epic's case.
The magnet hasn't caused any problems at all with the Epic that I've noticed.

The leather case is designed to fit a bare device so it will slide in/out smoothly, The magnet is pretty strong but works fluently with the case.
The magnet does not affect the phone.
I bought a leather holster at the Sprint store today actually.
It has a magnet, but it is not near as strong as some of the ones I have had in the past, but it still holds the flap strong against the case.
This particular case even has the Galaxy S logo etched into the metal in the middle of the flap - yeah its sexy.
$34 at Sprint, and since its Galaxy S Branded, I think it's a good deal.
I cant seem to decide which case to get. They both look like great cases. I am able to get the otterbox for only $10 more than the case mate barely there. I was hoping to get some input from any one who has tried one or both of them.
Things I am concerned about:
Case Mate barely there
- does it offer a better grip to the phone?
- is it hard to press the volume and power buttons with the case on?
Otterbox Commuter
- does it make the phone too bulky?
- is it worth the extra $10?
- how is the screen protector?
Thanks for any input provided.
I have a commuter on my Desire. Love it. Im not a big case fella. I ran my 9700 caseless. Dont like bulky. I find the desire almost too thin, and the OB adds just enough. Screen saver is nice. no complaints.
My only gripe is I find it doesnt have enough grip/texture on the back. its smooth plastic. too smooth imo.
Personally I'd look at the case mate Torque case if you don't want the otterbox.
I was thinking of the same thing " which one"
I have zagg invisible shield so case mate wasnt an upgrade for a protection so i bought a commuter, but it hasnt come yet

Thanks for your reply. I agree the desire is too thin that why I feel a need a case to provide a better grip. I used to have a Bold 9000 and I just used a pocket case with it. Im not too crazy about the torque dont really like the look of it and looks to bulky for me. Where did you purchase your otterbox? I am only able to find the otterbox online from gocellular.com. Cant find it locally.
Actually my local Telus store carries them.
See my review of the Tough Hyrbid by case-mate. it's my choice of the cases available.
To me the barely there is pointless as if you drop it your probably gonna ruin the phone anyways, the commuter is nice, but i think the Tough Hybrid is better. just my two cents.
The more I think about the more I'm leaning towards the otterbox. I found a local telus store that carries it. This way I can try it out and return it if I don't like it. Yeah the barely there does seem pointless especially for the price. Thanks everyone for your input.
I ordered 2 commuter box but after a week it hasnt beed shipped yet!

Case Mate Barely There
Got a Case Mate Barely There on my desire and i love it !!
Why i bought the Case Mate Barely There?
- The stuff its made of is awesome.
- The phone fits it perfect and there is no chance its slipping out.
- Doesn't make the phone feel bigger.
- The buttons are perfectly cut out so they work as they should.
The Case Mate Barely There has basically zero impact protection...it'll help against scratches or whatever, but upon any drop or anything, your phone will be subject to whatever shock damage regardless.
I have the Otterbox Commuter, and I definitely recommend it. Slightly thickens and makes my Desire larger, but the silicone+plastic combination gives me a peace of mind. It'll give you good impact + shock protection.
CaseMate Barely There. Great case...
+1 for casemate barely there. Perfect fit and very high quality. I'm pretty careful with my phone so I don't need rock solid like the otterbox. I've dropped my phone before onto the floor without any damage at all. Chances are the phone is gonna hit one of the corners anyways.
still not shipped
Last I head the Commuter were backordered. Maybe try a local store?
I say go for the case-mate barely there
Sorry. Wrong forum.
otter box looks better for me
Case Mate
Case Mate saved my phone from falling apart more than few times
i wanna to buy a bit expensive case with top quality of case...
you can find it HERE
Perhaps you should say what sort of case your after? There are expensive cases of all types, e.g. silicone, hard case, leather cases.

I am using iaccy hard case it's very gud!
buy an origional samsung flip leather case. can't beat an OEM
what about the heat if use the phone in a case - I had before a silicone case but I felt uncomfortable with it - got the impression that the phone is getting a bit too warm

Perfect fit for our naked Nexus 4, as I'm rocking one right now.
Interesting -- the N4 is just enough bigger than the GNex to fill up the room that would be occupied by the Surface case, eh? If I hadn't already bought a belt holster, I might well have been interested; I had a Seidio belt clip for my N1 and liked it a lot.. Can you post a photo or two of the phone in the holster? Let us know how it does, i.e., if you have any accidents where the phone springs out accidentally or the like.

I will try to put up some pics tonight..... it honestly fits like a glove inside.... its not going anywhere once inside.
This is great, although by the time my N4 arrives my chinese s cases chould be here. I hope more people report what non N$ cases fit though.
This could be a good option...

for those interested, I just received this case in hopes of using it with the nexus4 like the op claims...
it does NOT fit. the holster is much too large for the naked phone
You're right, I really screwed up. I'm terribly sorry.
I have a lot of holsters, and must have confused myself.
I just checked, and it looks like the HTC Sensation Seidio Holster fits the Nexus 4 perfectly, but the Sensation Surface Holster, not the naked.
Really sorry, and hope you can resolve this. Feel terrible.

Tested with my Active holster for my HTC Sensation and works well with it naked. But not to be a buzzkill, but I do not want my N4 naked in the holster. I have dropped my sensation from this very holster with cases on. I am going to get the Galaxy Nexus Surface holster to see if it fits with a tpu case on or not.

I can't believe they want $19 for it, I bought one for my Rezound and it was $4.

I am getting the Surface holster for the gnex-at the office waiting for me tomorrow am. Anyone know if it'll fit with a tpu case on yet?
Seidio has Surface and Active cases with kickstands that are in development right now in addition to a holster that will work with them both. They don't come cheap though. I have used their products on a number of my phones and I have to say that they are worth every penny. Very protective, the fit is awesome and they even make charging stations that work with the cases on. I reckon by the time I actually get my phone, the Seidio cases will be available.
I'm using my seido active holster (90% sure it is the active holster, the one with a rubber and hard plastic parts for the phone) with my N4 with a tpu case on it and the holster fits almost perfect.

Pics?
I have the Seidio Surface one for the Gnex and it doesn't fit with a tpu case on. It's a little loose with the N4 naked, but that's a no go for me.
Just an update. I am getting the Diztronic Ultra Thin One Piece Hard Shell case as well to see if it will fit the Surface holster. Will report back next week or whenever I get it in.
Here is the linkage to the 'thinner' case. Keep in mind it doesn't cover the bottom or top of the phone. Alas the some of the "thinner" aspects of the case. Remember to use XDA for a promo coupon code if you haven't done so yet. The code can only be used once,and I already used it on my other TPU lol.

I think I'll be picking up one of the Seidio Surface/Holster combos when they're released. The Nexus 4 is an awesome looking phone, but the back is so slick it ends up sliding away on it's own. This also seems to be one of the only ways to get a good holster for the phone.

Most of the ones I find are made to accommodate a case and I want a snug fit for a naked phone. Does anyone know of one or maybe a case for another phone that would do the job? ( I purchased an iPhone holster that ended up fitting my nexus 4 nice and snug as an example).

Yea, I've shopped amazon but pretty much everything is meant to accommodate a case on the phone, and I want one that fits a naked Note 4 without it being loose.
Wait for de Senna pouch / sleeve to come out for the note 4

Also most of the pouches there are really just a universal fit case, even if it says for note 4. I too hate cases, but would like a pouch for when my phone is in pocket or bag.

Yea, I may try something for a phone slighty smaller than a note 4 (like a g3) and see if I get the snug fit that I want.
