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
T959 with Simply Honey 2.5 - Shout out to Simone201 and all other Devs for this awesome ROM

They don't ship to Iceland... I will have to check into that because I'm sure that we do. I will PM you tomorrow with a definite answer on that.
P.S. Yes it fits the I9000

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 ....
That's great feature!! Is it possible to do the magic to a tough case (and not barely dare as in the link)?

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.
They're in stock and available now. This has always been my favorite case. I don't like things that inhibit the phone's thinness\natural design, so I like slip-in sleeves, and Sena makes a good product.
Look around on the net there are 20% off coupons... their ordering\delivery process leaves a bit to be desired, but the product is good.

I guess its not as classy as a chunky shell case. Nothing sexi bout those.
If your looking for slim cases check out the casemate barley there. its very nice and even came with a screen protector. That I dont use haha.
This is a Sena pouch, not a case as you have to take the phone out of the pouch to use.

You're wrong actually. Time for English 101.
Dictionary: "enclose in a protective container" so in face the item that you refer to as a "case" is not a case, it's a backplate, or protective shell. A true case, by definition, en"cases" the item for protection. How does one access files in their briefCASE when they need them? They take them OUT of the briefCASE. How does one change clothes when they get the hotel? They take their close out of their suitCASE to use them. How does one get the term nutCASE? They take silly comments out of their head and place them in places like here, where you said SenaCases.com isn't a case website.
If you use the phone when it's in a case, it's not a CASE.
I completely understand the non-literal definition of what's included in the word "case" has become lose over the years... but your comment was just inaccurate in every way.

I had this case for about a day, and returned it.
- renders the OEM desktop dock worthless
- renders the OEM car dock worthless
- makes the charging cable not fully click in to charge w\ cable
- collects dust under the back part and gets a little icky
- provides no screen protection & screen protector makes resolution grainy
These were just my reasons for returning it. Not sure why you posted this in this thread, rather than in the general cases\shell thread, but I thought I'd reply with personal experience as to why I bought then subsequently returned it.
It's just my personal opinion, but if baffles me why people buy these shells. Even at the 3mm thickness of this case, it adds 3mm to the back, 3mm to the right, 3 mm to the top, 3mm to the bottom, 3mm to the left, and then a 3 mm lip around the phone. Add those all up and it equates to double the tickness of the phone to begin with. The idea of having a thin and light phone is so it's thin and light. I suppose if I were the type who dropped my phone frequently, having a plastic shell around it might be useful, but that's just not me, which is why I went with the slip-in sleeve as I posted above. Provides dust\pocket protection, cleans the screen, but when the phone is in hand it's in it's full thin state as intended by the manufacturer.

Can I post it? What do you mean? It's the same as googleing "Samsung Infuse Desktop Dock".... but will save me from taking photos, and will save you the wait, hehe.
I love it... I've always had a dock for my iPhone, so when I heard it was coming out for Infuse I jumped on it. It's great, just slip the phone onto it and it charges\syncs, and makes it a lot easier to see texts\emails because it's angled toward me and not just sitting on my desk flat.
It's really not a huge amazing revolutionary thing, it's more of just a convenience thing to make the phone more usable for my tastes. And much of it is just cosmetic.

I agree. This looks like something a girl would keep the phone in while in her purse. It provides no protection if you happen to drop your phone while you're actually using it. Pointless for me...perfect for the ladies. Hehe
And Bella, you can quote the dictionary all you want, but most people would consider that a pouch, not a case.

I guess if you're too clumsy to hold a phone in you're hand, then you need to get a shell that will double it's thickness. I guess you're right, if you're a man and insecure about... the ability to hold your phone due to it's small size, it might be in your best interest to explore enlargement options that'll make it easier to find, larger to hold, etc.

Its my opinion. You oviously have yours. If you need a pouch to keep your phone in while in your purse so your lipstick doesn't scratch it, that's fine. Nobody wants to deny you that option. Enjoy!
The personal attacks are so unnecessary.
I'm sure you're well on your way to getting all your threads closed and eventually banned. Can't wait!

Huh? How is it a personal attack. If someone drops their phone regularly, wouldn't that classify them as clumsy?
Clumsy: awkward in movement or in handling things
How is that a personal attack? You seem overly sensitive, almost like you've got a victim complex... you are wanting to be offended. I've never dropped a phone in my life... and unless I were to drop it regularly, say once a week or so, I probably wouldn't be willing to double it's thickness to protect against the occasional drop... but that's just me.
And I could say your comment about purse and lipstick are closed-minded, offensive, but I won't.

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.

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.

OK - after seeing this video, I'm pretty set on not using a case. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=py6zXJoS-cE
I was on the fence to start given that the phone is so darn huge already and I didn't want to add bulk. The one thing that got beat up in this video is the chrome bezel. Does anyone know of any of those full body protectors (similar to Invisible Shield) that have a piece for the sides/top/bottom? They don't all come with it and I have no plans to use screen protector or back protector, just cover the bezel.

This phone is so stupidly big (not singling out the S5, they all are now) that there is a special one handed mode which shrinks the screen down so you can get to to the top left corner (if you are right handed). Need to do whatever we can to not add bulk.

i still will use a case, my phones go everywhere with me, and get banged around pretty good, some of my cases have quite a bit of wear on them that i would hate to be on the phone, a $5 plastic case off Ebay is cheap insurance, and lets you get a lil personal touch to it, this time i decided to go with the $30 case but being as how the phone is water resistant it will be with me at all times so it will probably get a lil more abuse.

It just has so many flaws, I don't even know where to begin. I'm sure many others will agree with me.
The build quality is just too good. It is so fast, I can't even see any animations. I need lag in my browser, or it just feels fake. The battery life lasts way too long for me to be able to break in the charger that came with it. The back is so smooth, I think I'm going to drop it. People are always wanting to see my phone, because it "looks so cool", that I can never play with it myself.

Actually the phone being smooth is a flaw for me. I always feel like I'm going to drop It but I'd rather keep metal, so I'll live with it. maybe HTC could have put some sort of coating over the metal to make it less smooth.

You could try putting an XtremeGuard on the back. Maintains the metallic look but adds some grip. But of course if you like the feel of the metal then... yeah probably not =\

I have dropped mine 2 times, both from about 3-4 feet onto the pavement couple of small nicks on the metal casing but I am amazed at how well this phone holds up.
Yeah I dropped mine too. Fell out of my shirt pocket flat on its back onto concrete day after I got it. Scared me to death. Got a tpu case on eBay until spigen ships my slim armor later this month.

I agree. I have mine in a Otterbox case, if I remove the case I have trouble holding the phone. I think any coating would hurt the appearance of the phone but there are clear plastic slip-on cases that might not look too bad?
The Otterbox is just plain FUGLY but I need the protection and the grip!

I have a clear gel case on mine and imo it completes the phone. The metal finish is to slick...i'd drop it for sure. With the gel case its 100% easier to grip, its not slippery and doesnt add bulk to the phone. Also with it being clear you can still see the beautiful design of this beast. I cant say a darn thing bad about this phone

There's a few test videos on YouTube, drop tests from 4ft/7ft/10ft, one of the tests was between the M7 and M8 and the other was between the M8, the G S5 and the iPhone 5S, the M8 got the best results in both test, only finally cracking at the 10ft mark in the latter video, not cracking at all in the M7/M8 video. Also another video shows scratch tests with a key, butchers knife, pocket knife and a hammer. Though it was hard to see in the video, the guy recording said there was next-to-no, if not NO scratches on the device, even after hitting it pretty hard with a hammer, though he used the back of the hammer and finally cracked it.
I think it's safe to say this phone is near indestructible, not saying you shouldn't still baby it but you can feel better about an accident that may happen if you drop it or what not, not to mention the 6 month screen crack insurance from HTC Advantage

I ordered one of these cases even though I like to run my phones naked. I figured I'd order a nice looking case just in case I'm going to be doing something that requires the protection. I thought it looked pretty nice, but that's just my opinion.

I also like how this one lets the phone's natural beauty show through.

I had the clear case with the black perimeter which I purchased with the phone at Big Red's store. I'm not sure, but I think the way the case's rubber sides was such that while taking off the case to access the microsd card I may have bent the metal near the volume buttons. That troubled me and forced me to put that case away. Big Red, thankfully, replaced my handset about a week later (I bought mine at 1:15 p.m. on 3/25/14), and I put a crystal clear TPU case on it which lets the Arctic Silver finish shine through.
I'm actually going to get my second replacement today... First had a small nick in the upper left corner, now this one has a strange bump in the center below the bottom speaker, resulting in warped metal. It wasn't there when I got it, but after some use it showed up. I guess be careful about applying pressure to the bottom corners of the device?
I feel like I'm being nitpicky, but idk... These are pretty glaring IMO.
Hopefully thirds a charm.

Beware of clear TPU: it will turn yellow over time... At least matte finish ones will.
I think diztronic makes the best slim and protective TPU cases. I recently got a translucent gray for my gray metal M8 and it's been great so far. Can't see all of the device's beauty, but it is see through.

I had a clear TPU but while minimal, it provided very little protection. I went back to the UAG. Great protection without a major additional bulk of the Otterbox defender.

Haha. When I saw the title I was like either this person is crazy or its defective. Only flaw on this phone is the camera in my opinion.

And from the note 3.....
Hmmm...they both look fuzzy to me? Didn't look like that before I uploaded Them here.
Anyways, the point is, it's a good camera. It's one of my favorite features of this phone! I compared to note 3, and honestly unless your cropping them, they look about the same.
