Just bought it at the vzw store. Vry good build quality. Fits the phone awesome and doesn't bulk it up too much. Just a heads up it's 20% off

Its a decent case but mine got sent back 5 minutes after I opened it. No cutout for the hdmi port.
I noticed that as well. Since I don't use the hdmi port it didn't bother me

Loving this case. It does make the phone bulkier, but I have big hands so it works out for me.
The feather case was just released as well. It still does not have a cutout for the hdmi port. They said it would compromise the protection the case gives the phone. I don't get it, if everyone else can include a cutout for the port why don't they? I am disappointed because I used the feather on my Atrix and I have never used a case I liked that much.

Sweet, thanks for the heads up. I don't use the hdmi port enough to care that much, but I have been wanting a super thin/light case for awhile. Kinda pricey though.
love this case, but it's somewhat hard to get the hard cover over the rubbery inside layer. I've ripped mine already. I'm still able get the case to work ok, but just wanted to let anyone know who owns this case that you have to be careful with the soft layer.

I don't use it that much either but its a pain in the ass to remove when I do want to use it. There is no reason they can't make the cutout, every other case has it.
I couldn't get mine on! The corners would scrunch up on the side I was putting in last, and it made it impossible to fit properly.

You have to work it on slowly while pulling the edges of the hard cover outward with your thumbnails (until your thumbnail hurts, then you're pulling hard enough). Loosening the hard cover before installing by gently pulling the sides outward for a couple minutes also helps.
Does anyone have a link to this case on the Verizon site? I just went to the Verizon store and they said they don't carry the double cover for the Charge and I can't find it on their site either.
I have one, got it with the phone when I bought the phone off someone. I don't like it at all, makes the phone heavy and bulky but its free and im not spending money on a case when I know I will be selling the Charge as soon as the Samsung Galaxy S2 is out.

Here's some pics of the kickstand case. mcp2009 also has a video of it in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8445306&postcount=27
i think this case looks pretty nice, surprisingly. i was expecting it to be bulky but it really isnt. the kickstand function is neat.
UPDATE: Don't be like many of us, and forget to remove the "MADE IN CHINA" sticker on the back cover.
UPDATE 2: I purchased the cheapo Lux brand black rubber-like case from amazon and this black case is significantly thinner than the clear kickstand case, in case you are wondering.
Lol yay someone mentioned me in a post I feel special. Haha, but yea man the case is great and the kickstand works very well. I like how it's not a cheap clip that turns and makes the phone stand up if you lean it.

Although I'd much rather have a full, clear Zagg shield that doesn't make the phone any thicker at all, I do like the kickstand. Would make viewing videos at work much easier.
How well does this hold on there? If I dropped it (which I try to avoid), would it pop off and allow the phone to be scratched or do you think it would survive a drop?
its stuck on the phone pretty good in the back. it took me some effort to remove it when I realized I forgot to take the made in china sticker off.

That and the Zagg screen protector...a great combination!
I purchased this case yesterday along with the g2 screen protectors, and the tmobile guy semi warped my phone while trying to remove the case because that damn sticker was left on there when he put it on. Its barely noticeable but I can tell. When the phone is completely closed, the left side wiggles (not the term I am looking for) ever so slightly. But it did not do that before. Wtf.

That's too bad about your phone. mine doesn't wiggle... maybe you can get an exchange from the same guy who broke it?
How does this case handle the heat when it's being used?
I'm using the slip case that came with my N1. The G2 just barely fits, but its nice and snug but not too hard to remove. As the case stretches a bit, it will become easier to insert and remove.
That case has already saved my nexus from certain disfigurement. I'm glad it will continue to serve me.

THIS CASE IS A ***** TO REMOVE, or is it just me? The back part of the case that clips onto the bottom took me forever to remove safely, i hurt my fingers .
All of these cases you see on Amazon and Verizon and nobody has considered machining a new battery door out of aluminum or something? The cheap plastic has gotta be the #1 thing a lot of people hate about this phone, and I would definitely be willing to pay $15-20 for a nice metal back.
Does Samsung have some kind of patent that prevents this?

I suspect a metal door would interfere with the antennas, wouldn't it?
On the Nexus S, some guy had the same complaint about the plastic feeling cheap, he came up with a mod that involves spraying some rubber coating on it. Seems popular, cheap, easy, and reversible.

It would be nice if we could get something like a soft-touch black plastic battery door for better grip/nicer feel/less fingerprints. Also might be more functional than a metal door on our Charges. The antennas are on the bottom-back of the phone for some reason.
Samsung doors
I called Samsung today and they have two different doors you can buy I believe still plastic but have a nicer look and one somehow charges or keeps the battery charged longer (nvm it is only a inductive bacK). What I get for believing them lol, but anyways just thought I would share what I found.

The funny part is the shape and cutouts of the pictured cover match the Charge.
Would really love to see a more grippy battery door with kickstand for this phone. I'm looking to replace my Thunderbolt with a Charge and I know I'm going to really miss the kickstand.
The Samsung holster/case combo looks nice, but it's going to add unwanted bulk and I'm pretty sure it won't fit in the car and desk docks with the case on.

That pic I posted is directly from Sammy's website so don't know why you feel it isn't legit. Unless Samsung is teasing us or posting a false picture lol...Anyways here is the link...http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EBC-994WBEBSTD?
I tried Phantom skinz carbon fiber wrap to add some texture for better grip on this phone but ended up not liking it and peeled it off.
Recently went with the plastidip spray on stuff and it works much better. 2 coats of it are working great adding a good grippy feel to the back battery cover. Hope that helps.

Only did the outside of the cover, no point in doing the inside as well.

Seemed like people were doing the inside as well to make it harder to peel off, but I don't know if it'd make a difference.
Does the phone still fit in the Car and Home dock with the back sprayed?
I don't have any official docks so I can't guarantee, but it adds very little thickness... unless the phone is already snug in the dock it will be fine.

after seeing a coworker's Bionic (lucky bastard ) which had the same style case with kickstand (apparently they sell those at the verizon store) I bought one from amazon as well. It should be coming tomorrow, so hopefully I can give a more thorough review. I've been looking for a kickstand case for a while, and none have been even remotely slim except this one.
just got this case. From what i can tell... it checks all the right boxes for a case. its light, its thin, its slightly soft but still durable, and most importantly, IT HAS A KICKSTAND. My only concern is the durability of the kickstand as it seems like the hinges and movable parts feel flimsy even though the rest of the case feels solid. On the plus side there are no folding plastic bits which you know will eventually snap.
Bad ass case, I love it. I had it for my Droid 2, Fascinate and my Charge.
I have one. I love it, and the kickstand is pretty sweet feature for watching stuff at lunch break in the conf room.
I broke off my clip eventually as I am always catching it on something while getting in and out of equipment and my desk chair. (kinda a wide ass). I super glued it back on with some Barn's FSA Adhesive and it's back in business.
Best case/holster I have had of all time.
It's pretty good for all of the reasons already stated, but my only complaint is that it's kind of a pain to get the case off if you're a guy like me who needs to remove it twice a day in order to switch batteries. That's all.
I have it
I got mine in a package deal when I purchased my phone. I love it, keep the phone nice and secure. I love belt clips, especially when you can rotate it. Sometimes I clip it to my messenger bag to catch videos of my bike rides. Once you start using the kick stand, you can't go back. Get it from verizon so if it breaks, they will provide you with a replacement.
Is it really made by Samsung? I need one of the "holster" with clip, so that I could use it while at the gym.
I just bought a new spare of these holsters from Amazon for $6.00. I go through a couple a year and don't want to come up short.
These are the Verizon ones and are pretty nice.

Yeah as did mine. I treated it with care too. I don't think it matters how you treat it, the area around the power button is going to go wonky
the official custom hp case is the best one for the pad. though mine not only got deformed, it got REALLY smooth too, compared to my sisters new one
I finally got sick of the deformed case. But I wanted a slim case with flip cover, and all the ones I found bulked it up more than I cared for. So, I made my own out of two cases. I bought the Poetic TPU case off eBay for $6. Then I used a razor blade to remove the flip cover from my deformed OEM case. After failing with Gorilla glue, I found that good old super glue does an excellent job of bonding the cover material to TPU without deforming it. Looks a little rough, think I'll make another. Next time though, I'll bond the cover at top, making it easier to open or close on the touchstone charger.

I have done a little surgery to my original HP case. I cut off the parts that were warping. And actually, it worked out well. But after doing that, I bought a carbon fiber skin and a Touchstone charger and only use the case when I take it out of the house. It feels nice without a case.
The only case I've been able to get to play nice with my touchstone sadly is the stock hp touchpad case.

Would be interested to know if the case blocks the speaker on the phone or it routes the sound toward you. It looks like it could be routing the sound from the speak to the 2 holes at the bottom.

I ordered this case and immediately had horrible signal issues. I've e-mailed the seller asking if there's a solution. It's too bad to use as a phone, though wifi was not blocked at all. Normally I have strong LTE in my house but it's unusable with the case on.

to each their own... but gawd, that's ugly.
I bought it when it first went up, before their description made it clear it was steel, I was hoping for a thin metal slip. The case is heavy as hell, and the built in screen protector traps pocket lint between the screen protector and screen. The case is held on with 6 hex screws, which worked, but made it even heavier.
It did muffle sound a little, as to radio...I'm just switching to Ting with GSM from Sprint with my phone. I was worried for a bit that my phone was the issue, but a girl who has a galaxy phone has all the same signal issues I did on Sprint. I'll let you know of mine is better, and how GSM is impacted by the case later.

I should also mention, like the Tudia, it made my side access worse. I use Lucid launcher specifically for the left side slide out favorite apps, these were really hard to activate on both this case, and the Tudia. I also use a pie fromthe right side, this was similarly hard to trigger, but at least I could customize the trigger width to accommodate the massive bearth.

That doesn't look like a quality case to me. The back looks like plastic. But there aren't a lot of cases compatible with the 360 Camera so if you want specifically to use that feature it's probably worth taking the chance since the case is so cheap. But if you don't care about the 360 Camera there are clearly way better choices.

But if you don't care about the 360 Camera there are clearly way better choices.

I bought it.
It actually isn't cheap feeling.
Soft touch.
Pretty heavy.
Secures on the phone pretty well.
Looks like it will protect the phone in a drop.
It does add bulk.
The flip down for the camera is pretty cool.
The opening on the back for the camera is large since the case is so deep.
The fingerprint sensor hole is also large because they made it to clear the camera opening without leaving a small piece of TPU inside.
Overall I like it for the ~$10 I paid.
It is either this or naked.
I bought it as well.
Doesn't feel cheap to me.
Adds a decent amount of bulk to the phone but not too much.
The flip down feels pretty sturdy and hopefully it won't loosen over time.
It has a nice feel to it. Soft but not slick. Sort of rubberized.
I've been using the first Tudia case that came out for this phone for awhile now and it's fine most of the time. But when I do use the 360 lens it is a hassle. Having to peel the case off. Hopefully this fixes that problem.

I tried it yesterday and the flip down works fine.
It's a bit stiff to latch and unlatch, but it does solve the 360 camera issue.
No more case removal! It also means that those screen protectors that glue around the edges will bel see likely to lift.
I still haven't decided if I want to use LOCA to attach a screen protector to my phone.
