Excellent thanks, just bought it.

Bought to say. I have one and left feedback about it lastnight.

Any pics with device guys kindly!?
Lining?

Ordered one as well. Will post my review.

Read the feedback and most say it was great for the price. One person gave it neutral feedback saying it was a tight fit. My concern would be if its that tight a fit whats the inside lining (if any made from? Is it likely to scratch and leave marks or cause wear on the phone by constantly pulling it in a out?

Is it hard or soft case? It seems to be hard in the photo (or at least a little), but I'm not sure. I'm looking for a hard one

Waiting for it to be delivered but should be here tomorrow. I'll let you know when I get it.

Nice soft leather case - very happy with it

Got mine today.
Awesome case for the money

mine finally arrived. it is very snug, which is good, nice fit and for its price its pretty good. overall I wanted something smaller really, i'll prob buy the sena ultra slim but this will do until that arrives.

Nice case. Good price, speedy delivery. Not too tight on the phone. Just perfect.

Has anyone got any pictures on how this fits? and do you think a desire with a Flexishield skin would fit?

I personally dont think it'd fit in the case with one of those one, they seem to add a bit of bulk too it. The phone is already quite snug without putting one of those on. I dont have a camera but still have my old X1, will see if I can get some pics up.

I took some pictures of the phone in/with the case to get an idea of what its like. The phone is in alot tighter than the pictures show as you cant even wiggle the phone whilst its in the case.
Hope these help

Does the job nicely but don't expect high quality. Superb however for £2.90 and only took 2 days for delivery.

Just an update a couple of weeks on. I have noticed that the pull that lifts the phone from out if the case is beginning to mark the battery cover as it sits inside the tight fitting case. Might not be worth it after all.

Have had the same thing on mine after only a few days, but as the mark seems seems pretty irrevocable I'm going to stick with it. Can always buy a new battery cover if it bugs me too much.

Anyone bought one of these?

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 think the GPS antenna is by the flash unit, so the case may interfere with the signal.

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...

Hopefully i have a better experience than you did, if not it didn't cost that much so i'll learn to wait for other people's experiences before i buy anything else

You're talking about the aluminium one right? I bought the silicone one, seems better

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!

The 99p/$1AUD aren't really that bad.
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

Great! Sell it on ebay for $50, just kidding. This is a great case, you are going to love it.

I talked one out of the local att store today. They just got some more in stock, and I complained that I have been trying to get one since I bought the phone.

Lol i rather not Ive been caseless since i got my Inspire. Dropped it a few times too i need protection asap.

worse case to ever have. glad to be using a defender case.

Mine arrived today. Thanks to the OP

Been using a Commuter case for about a week now. I like it a lot. In my experience, GPS attenuation is very minimal. On average the GPS Status tool only takes a couple more seconds to lock than without the case. Just a personal preference for me is I cut off the rubber flap that covers up the usb/mic/headphone jack area. This area of the phone is recessed within the case so there looks to be little chance of damage in this area without the flap.

i think that flap is there to keep dust out more so than protecting against a drop

Yes, which is exactly why I'm not too worried.

If anyone still wants one theres a few left on amazon.com. Ive been using the case for about a week now and its totally awesome. I put on the screen protector it came with and it feels smooth. For some odd reason since I've gotten my case I haven't dropped my phone once lol.

SGS Matte/rubberized battery cover

Hello,
Does anyone know where I can buy a battery cover that's either matter or has a rubberized feel to it for my Galaxy S?
I don't want a case, I just want a back cover that's not a fingerprint magnet.
I'm looking for something that's already made and that can ship to Eastern Europe (Romania, eg. Amazon UK ships most stuff to my country).
Thank you.

Interesting nickname .. you've got bitten ?
I've got this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-Galaxy-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item1e64e81191
It will fit perfectly (at least mine did).
Ultra fast shipping to Romania (coming from UK). I've ordered monday evening and thusday morning it was in my postal box at my apartment.
P.S.: I got directions for this from this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=720718

Thanks alot mate, will have a look and probably order one.
( just an old nickname, and usually english ones I use in games are taken )
edit: just placed the order.

Great! Looking for sth. like this, too!

Anyone else tried out this BC?

Up to now I'm using the TPU cover. It's a little thick but perfectly protects the edges as my phone usually drop out of my shirt pocket onto the concrete floor
one time per year ;-)

my order should be here in couple of days and I'll post some feedback

Just got my case today, delivery took 4 working days, and the back fits perfectly.
Thanks again ro_explorer for the link.

Do you know where I can find the white one? That seller has just black and pink ...

Got mine today. 4 days from UK to Germany. Applied it immidiatly and it fits perfectly! tremendous! I imagined it a little bit more "rubbery" but its more like a smooth grip. Still a great improvement with this matt black look. Grip improved 100%. No more sweat. Feels soft and natural. Recommended!

No noticeable temp increase for me. Still feels very good - was afraid that it might lose its rubbery feeling to soon. It didnt.

Seidio Surface case

So has anyone bought this case yet for the Charge? I notice that they are shipping these now according to their website. There aren't really any good pictures though, just the one of the back of the case. I would like to see what it looks like on the phone and what the coverage is in the front.

Great review. I had the same case on my fascinate and the cutout around the power button made locking/unlocking the screen fairly difficult. I ended up sending it back and getting an active-x instead.
Do you have any issues accessing the power button or any of the the other ports?
If not, I may have to pick this one up. I'm running naked with no holster and it's driving me nuts!

I have had no issues. However, to be fair, I've owned a Seidio case for my past 5 phones so I may just be used to it.

Thanks for the great review. I too have used a Seidio on my Hero and EVO. When mine came in the mail today I was worried about the new style. But like you said, seems to hold very well.
Question. Do you use a second battery? How often do you take the case off? I feel like im gonna break it when i do.
Edit
Question. Do you ever have trouble with the clip between the usb port and the volume buttons? Mine comes undone in my pocket EVERY time. This causes the bottom snaps to also come undone

Negative, but I take it off pretty regularly to keep dust and dirty down (and odin new ROMs). I found our pops apart fairly simply when I start at the slot under the hdmi out.

Yes, though not every time. Maybe once or twice a day... tops. I usually use the holster when I'm at work so I usually don't have the problem. Pushing left on the top piece (from the screen) will recreate the issue. More of an annoyance than a problem (didn't even notice it for a few weeks)!

I've never owned a sedio case before, is it durable? it looks exactly like what i want but i feel like it might be kind of fragile. i've known people who owned cases with 2 snap-on pieces and they always break within 2 weeks of purchasing. maybe they just bought cheap ones?

They are definitely sturdy.
That being said, I find that the holster is what sells me on the product as it's extremely useful for me when I'm at work. Dollar for dollar, if you are looking for a similar case, Best Buy sells one that's almost identical. They'll even let you put it on the phone and try it before you purchase it.

That sounds good, i guess my friend bought a cheap one. the rubberized part of the corners started to peel off, then the clips snapped off about 2 weeks after he bought it. just from your review and the youtube review i saw, it did look significantly sturdier from what he had bought but i was just kind of paranoid after seeing his.
and on the case at best buy, i did like it but i was looking for a rubberized hardshell case, that was the only real flaw i saw with that one. which brings me to my next question, is this one sort of rubberized? i initially thought it was but now i'm starting to think otherwise lol

The Rocket Fish BB case has the same feel as the Seidio. Both are plastic but the Seidio is a hair thicker and has their signature "soft touch" that, IMO, is a nicer feel.

I'm kind of leaning towards the seidio, mostly because i don't like the best buy brand too much i'll probably head down to BB tomorrow and take a look at it again. i really appreciate the help and quick responses
