Capdase Soft Jacket 2 Xpose
http://www.obostore.com/capdase-sof...e-case-for-samsung-galaxy-r-p-3540-c-186.html
As you may have noticed, Galaxy R does not have a lanyard slot... These cases solve the lanyard problem. I hope so. I am yet to receive them. Hopefully they're worth the price.

Just ordered the momax from taobao, I will let ya'all know how it is when it arrives - was super cheap, 35RMB

I ordered this case its perforated with holes
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110797851...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1556wt_1139

I tried one of those and wasn't very happy with the fit, it didn't seem to 'lock' onto the phone correctly, and the buttons felt inaccesible, due to the case being higher on the outside than the face of said buttons.
Hopefully, you're getting a better one!

I've been using case mate barely there for one week, it wasn't the cheapest one but I'm more than happy with it so far. Finally something thin, tight and solid that fits just perfect.
(no dirty thoughts please, it's still just a phone ;P)

well, the momax arrived today, and first response is 'ooh nice!'
It's rubberized, and although the bumper is thicker than I expected, it does have the volume/power buttons as raised parts on the case so they're easy to locate but will definitely take some practice to use.
The case also came with a free security screen protector (one of the ones that dims from an oblique angle) I'm yet to apply this as I'm currently sitting in a dusty room (lol)
So, for the price I'm happy, and the fit is great, with easy access to the mini USB, audio jack, and as previously mentioned the hardware buttons are usable, but might take a few days for the rubber to soften up a bit so they are easy to hit.
Also, the speaker is now louder when I'm playing games, as my hand doesn't completely cover the part of the phone where it's located.

yo guys.. post 1 or 2 pics if u guys can share...
I would like to see those momax and case-mate barely there...

Cheap and good softcase
I have a very cheap Qbits
Amazon product id: B005XID5SI (sorry cannot post links yet due to forum restrictions)
Search anazon.de for "SAMSUNG i9103 GALAXY R SILIKON SKIN CASE"
I'm happy with it:
it's fitting perfectly
the phone doesn't slip, neither from my hand nor any surfaces
seems to be a working protection
makes putting your phone onto a desk a silent experience (during meetings,... )

I found Capdase fit best for i9103. the button fittings are nice, the rubber feels thin to the skin, and it leaves enough room so you can stick the usb cable nice and easy. Comes in black, transparent black (pic) or white. Cheers

Hi! 10 days ago I ordered in dealextreme:
- The external battery charger.
- The 1800mA battery. The 1650mA you posted looks awful.
- One black and one white protective cover like yours
- Another kind of back protective cover with an stylus pen (look for "Protective PC Back Case for Samsung Galaxy Z i9103 - Dark Red"for 2,90$ )
- A sports band with an stylus (look for "Sports Gym Arm Band Case w/ Stylus for Samsung i9100 Galaxy S2" for 3.90$). I think your band looks better but this one is cheapper and goes with the stylus
- the BH-214 Designer's Bluetooth Stereo Handsfree Set (nokia copy).
I think the protective back red case would be the best if it fits well. It looks thin, light and gives you free access to the microusb and 3.5mm jack plugs.
My question is about the battery charger. How many time you need to charge the 1800mA and the original 1650mA bateries? More, or less than with the phone charger?

I got a case for 200 Rs. from a local shop here in Chennai , India . It looks nice , Its printed 'MY CASE' for I9103 in the cover . It fits perfectly.

I had this same exact case for my G2x, It wasn't as nice and didnt fit as well as it looked on the web. I really miss the fusion case I had for my MT4G that one was my favorite case. It was very similar yet much better. I wouldnt buy this case again for my sensation after seeing the exact one on my g2x This was the best one for the MT4G: http://www.ambitronic.com/product_info.php/mytouch-fusion-case-p-480
This was the same one as the sensation that I thought was pretty bad on the G2X (and I had two of these cases from different venders)

Just got mine 5 cases for 12 bucks good cheap cases live in Arizona the shipping only took 7 days from China. Very happy
I've had my TPU case for a few days now, and I've found that it obstruct a micro-USB cable so it does not solidily stay plugged in. Do you have this issue as well or did I just get a bad vendor? (I have this one - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054HA45A )

Case & Screen Protectors
I just got the this case for $5.95:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XYHW1Y
They also sent two screen protectors for free. The case is very thin and it lets you see the phone's back, which is great. This might not be the case for someone looking to FULLY protect the phone, as it doesn't cover the top and bottom of it.
Now it is only $1.99 plus S&H, it doesn't gets better than that. Although not related to cases, you should buy this car charger:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S5Q9CA
I got it for my N1 and it works great with the S4G.
try this one,nice awesome
nillkin case also nice and good

bought that kind, dont have it yet. did have on on my mt4g, worked beautifully. Fav case ever. usb port was a little tight on generic usb cords, but the htc cables have small heads that fit fine.
In my searches for a good TPU case, I came across this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180699200569&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_738wt_1037. It's cheaper than the TPU-Cases brand and it also comes with a screen protector. I think it looks great with a matte/gloss dual finish, but I'm not sure if I should buy it with the lack of a power button cutout.

I REALLY like the way that one looks, and with free expedited shipping, its worth trying. It't be sweet if it were orange though.
I just ordered 1 of this hard rubber and 3 of this tpu cases.
I believe they have a very good price and high quality.
I bought this case last week and it is the best tpu case I have ever seen or used! Looks so sexy on the sensation. It has all the extra holes on the back as well and it fits like a glove. The seller is also selling one for $2 more with a screen protector. Can't say how the sp is as I haven't tried it, but I highly suggest this case.

KLD Product Info said the Case is made by thin cast aluminum (Photo ~ Line B),
Can you please check out for us if it's true...?
I guess Wireless Charging & NFC Signal will be blocked by the aluminum.
How do you like the fitting?
Will it scratch the phone when install, take out..?
Thanks...!
Re: Enland Flip cover case
This would make me assume NFC will not work if it is lined with aluminum.

Re: Enland Flip cover case
I heard the buttons are hard to access with the nillken case. Could you please tell us how does it feels with this one?
I am currently looking for a flip case too, and the best up to now seemed to be the nillken, even with that flaw, so if this one do not have the same flaw, I guess I have a winner

I think this is the best feature of the Google bumper. It incorporates keypressers so pressing the buttons is not as difficult as cases that have simple cutouts. Would love to see a flip case with buttons similar to the stock bumper.
So, elty123, 10 days since you started this thread. Have you already received your order? We want some insights!
Does anyone have this case yet? I'm thinking of getting the pink one, not many femine covers out for this phone yet.
Still waiting for this case. Not sure if this will work from wireless charger, but my HP Touchpad works with the Touchstone even with a case on. This should be similar I guess.
Finally got the red case. build quality is pretty good, and it is nice to touch. However, it doesn't really look like leather - more like.texture plastic. I think It would look better if it is not a bright peachy red.
I don't know if there is a thin cast aluminum inside, however the cover is pretty sturdy. It also doesn't seems to lower reception strength when the case is opened. I have no wireless charger to test.

So it's not more of a fuchsia or a hot pink? That's a relief, I liked that one. Many of these product photos use really bright light and make the colors brighter than pictured in everyday light.

What can you say about the cuts to access the buttons? I heard they are quite narrow in the Nilkin case, making it a bit hard to press them.
And this is the first flip cover I use, and sometimes the cover doesn't close completely.... is it a problem for other flip cover?

Yep, pretty common.
The cut is not very clean (some residual plastic). Pressing the power is ok but the volume is a bit harder, probably because of the spine.
The texture of the cover is the same as the picture... just that it is a bit more shiny than I thought.
Also closing the cover seems to reduce signal strength by a few dBm. I can't really tell because the signal strength fluctuate a lot here, even without any case.
I ordered this case because it looks realllllly nice. I chose this over the nillkin because I wanted it in brown.

[Short review] +simpliasm dockable TPU case

Hi,all
I'd been searching for some times about cases that fits dock. I finally got one a week ago so I will share my experience about it.

At first glance: The case is very slim. When you snapped in the case, it is not obviously noticeable. If you really like the design of your Xperia Z, this case would maintain its beauty very well.
Docking your phone: You have to use a bit more force in order to dock since the case added a bit of thickness to your phone (just a bit more force, not really much).
Quality: Although the design is great, the quality does not follow. The backplate is not really flat, some areas pop out so you can feel that you device is partially curvy. The material looks fine but the strength is not so good. After using the case together with the dock for a week, all corners of the case are cracked (but the shape is still maintained)
Summary
Pros: thin, barely noticeable
Cons: curvy back, easily cracked
Great review! Question where can i get this? Thanks!
It seems fine, the only dockable case I've seen till now.
I've googled it and found it but it's over 20$ + shipping. It's a big expensive from my point of view for being. I've seen it at 27$ that is 20-21€ shipping included in shop.brando.com
Could you please tell us where you've gotten it it and how much it has cost?
Thanks!

You're confusing TPU with styrofoam. You can not crack TPU ("excellent mechanical properties, combined with a rubber-like elasticity", just Google it) . So this case is clearly not TPU if it can crack.

Sorry guys. I just checked with the official website trinity.jp. It is made from Polypropylene not Polyurethane (TPU) so it was my false.
TPU is a kind of plastic anyway
I was considering getting this case, the cracking issue is putting me off now.
what did you think caused the cracks?

Couple days ago, I just break it into 2 pieces. I used another case then changed to +Simplism, right before I put on the case, I'd held the case with both of my hands then pushed the part that poped out. It then broke into 2 parts.
So I tried an experiment, I flicked a broken part with my fingers as hard as I could. The result? It cracked.
I assumed that Polypropylene that the case is made of has low elasticity.
I just ordered 2 new anyway. Ther is no choice for me. The only low-profile way to protect while docking is this case. Otherwise, you will have to buy Noreve flip case, but it is bulky.
Just fitted the black one fits nice and tight I suspect taking it off again may be a problem and with free screen protector as well not bad gives some protection the attraction is not having toll take it out to charge in the dock

I know it is possible to order from http://chuwajapanimports.wazala.com/, but it is really overpriced ($21 + $35 for shipping).
I've use this case for about a month, it cracked after 2 drops to smooth marble floor around 1 meter height. phone was protected from scratch.

Hey guys I purchased this case last week and now that I've spent some time with it, I can give my little review of it.
This comes in 4 different colors, blue, navy, white, and pink.
Retails for $29.99

First off it's a very nice slim case that protects all sides of your phone, it has a small lip so it does offer a lay on the table design!
The sides also have a nice feel to it, it's a bit slippery but not as bad as when you're using the phone naked.
The volume and power buttons are super responsive.
The back tends to leave a bit of finger prints, however it wipes off easily.
The camera cut out is perfect, and is recessed. So for those of you who are worried about your lens being scratched, this will protect it!
The top headphone jack port cut out fits all my headphones, so there are no problems there.
There are also cut outs for the IR Blaster, and even a cut out for a phone strap.
The bottom USB port cut out, does not fit all USB connections. I've only found that the Samsung fits, my generic brand ones will not fit.
Let me know if you guys have any other questions, I'll be sure to answer them!

I purchased mine from BestBuy. I'm pretty sure you can get these from the Samsung site as well!
As for the material, I believe it is TPU plastic, you can bend it and it's a bit flexible.
I've had this case for a couple days as well. Out of all the cases I've had for all the recent phones (S3, Note 2, One), this is BY FAR the best case I've ever used. For those who aren't looking for something seriously rugged like an Otterbox, this case is stunningly good in every way. The material is TPU, but it's very different from any other case of this material I've used. Exceptionally high quality.
-TPU material much higher quality and very different than anything else on the market.
-Grip is very good. Only case I've come across that balances grip and slickness so perfectly. Back is a hybrid between matte and slick but not slippery. The sides are a bit more rubbery, matte and textured.
-Buttons are exceptionally responsive for a TPU case.
-The biggest strength of this case is ergonomics. It just feels perfect in the hand. It's curved perfectly in the right places making it supremely comfortable. The sides have enough flat area to give good grip. Before this I tried the Spigen Neo Hybrid, and imo it defeated the great ergonomics of Samsung phones. By making the back completely flat, it just didn't sit naturally in the hand. The Samsung case is maybe slightly thicker than the Neo Hybrid, but it looks and feels a lot smaller.
-I've got the same Navy color as kodath. It's a very dark blue, looks black in a lot of conditions. The sides are even darker and you can tell it's actually blue and not black occasionally.
I just cannot say enough good things about this product. It is of very serious quality and perfectly executed design.
I bought mine from Staples for $30. Free shipping to store and arrived next day.
Hello everyone,
I did not see too many things posted about the Official Samsung Protective Cover + so i figured i'll chime in. I had it on my Note 2 and I liked it, I figured I'll pick it up and see how it is. Just got it earlier today, and so far so good!
I got the Navy Color, and as you see it looks black in certain angles.
I picked it up at radio shack (they had 3 different colors [white, light blue and navy] ), staples supposedly has the navy, and offcourse the official samsung site:

For full size pictures go to the album: http://imgur.com/a/gaGE4#0
And some pics I snapped of the other colors at the store.
Got mine today. Best case I've ever owned out of any phone. It's perfect. Clearly. Samsung made the phone. And the case. They wouldn't fail.

Nice looking case, looks like it fits great. I like that blue color. How protective would you say it would be for minor drops (taking out of pocket, getting out of car and forgetting phone is on your lap and it hits the ground)?
Would be good for small average two to three feet I'd say. I use screen protector as well. It has a decent lip so it doesn't sit on the screen when you put it face down. It's not bulky. But it protects. I just don't want to test it over my head face down. Who would?

Usually those stores have a 30 day return policy, order from Samsung for 50% off, wait till it comes in and return the one from store. Win win!
Got the light blue version of this case today. Very nice case. The fit is great as you'd expect, and it keeps the phone super slim. Buttons are very responsive in the case. As far as protection, it looks like it would protect in a small drop, but I wouldn't want that to happen over concrete.
Even though this case was nearly perfect, I returned it simply because I wanted black and also because the back scratched easily. The fit and button feel was excellent though, and it didn't interfere with my glas.tr
Didn't notice this on the site and just got it. I got the SGP Neo Hybrid now, works good looks good but its just a little too bulky for my liking. If anyone wants it I'll sell it for $20 shipped, about 3 days of use on it.

Spigen Neo Hybrid worth it?

I saw the Spigen Neo Hybrid case for the Galaxy S4. I read that there were some issues with previous versions of it for the S3. I was just wondering since some of you guys have one... Does it protect well? It just seems that it wouldn't protect the phone well enough. Also are the buttons too sensitive?
How does it feel? Is the back of the case have more of a plastic feel or rubbery feel to it? And is it worth the $30?
One more thing... I read that tempered glass screen protectors are good. I saw that they were about $30 and I don't really know. Are the normal plastic ones okay?
Thanks.
I have it and LOVE it

Could you explain why?
I had the yellow neo hybrid case and returned it to amazon after ten days. The auxiliary cord in my car wouldn't fit, it was rather blocky feeling in my hand (I'm a male with normal sized hands). The main thing that made me return it was the chipping of the glossy coat after ten days, and I have NEVER misused or dropped my phone.
It looks awesome, however.
I decided to just get UAG, probably going to be better for my needs than the neo hybrid was.

I have it and I hate it (especially for $30)
Buttons are extremely easy to push. Whenever I am taking it out of my pocket (business slacks) I always end up pressing buttons. It makes the phone uncomfortable to use. I kind of got used to it but after switching to a tpu case that has rounded corners you don't miss the neo hybrid in your hands. The back feels like matte rubber not grippy at all. I never dropped my phone in this case so don't know how it would hold up. The incompatibility with most micro usb cables pissed me off too.
With that said it does look good I actually had a few people ask what kind of phone that was and complimented the case. I like having my phone feel safe in my hand more than looks I suppose so I haven't used it in a few weeks
Ive had it in my cart for a few days now and cant decide if I should get it or not, 30 bucks isnt too bad but I already paid that for my sview case and I dont want to have one or the other laying around but man it looks nice as hell
absolutely love mine. I use it with the Glast.r (however you spell it lol, it's late) and one of their aluminum home button pieces. Such a nice setup imo.

got it and i love it also got a cheap knockoff on ebay from china for cheap but the quality isnt there although it works. The Spigen works great if your looking for a cool protective case for your S4.
obviously if you drop it from a few stories it might not protect your phone as a otterbox but you get style and just everyday protection. You have to ask yourself what kinda protection you want for your new device and how prone you are abusing it.
I love mine cause the buttons are easier to press and it adds a certain weight to the phone I thought the s4 was too light. Plus the jellybean buttons feel awesome. Only thing though makes it look like an iPhone! Ain't nobody got time to be an iSheep!

i have both a slim armor and neo hybrid. imo the neo hybrid with a tempered glass solution (mine is MIME) and an aluminum button is pure class. i thought i'd switch between the two cases but I have a feeling my slim armor is just gonna sit around and not get used
Looks and build quality wise the Sgp Neo Hybrid is stunning - no excess material anywhere and an excellent fit. But ergonomics and protection wise it is not so good. There is barely any lip to speak of and the main camera lens is only about 1mm away from the surface you place your phone on. The squared off design also makes the phone uncomfortable to hold. I have slung mine in a drawer and am using a UAG case which although not finished as well seems much better for protection. I do not think the Sgp case is worth 30 dollars when you can pick up a UAG case (including a screen protector) for only 5 dollars more.

My friend got one, and he thinks is pretty awesome tho there is a big problem with the aux connection for bigger aux-cabels
I love mine, the onl down side is I had to buy a different dock because the oem samsung wouldnt work with the case. Its ok though cause I got a sweet one from Rok Form that adjusts to any case. Ive had it for 3 weeks now and no chips or anything so if people say theirs chipped its because they dropped it. 30.00......worth it.

I've been reading that a lot of people are complaining about the color flaking off with minor use. Any signs of that for you guys?

Have had the metal slate for around three weeks and no problems with flaking.
