Case with stuff compartment? - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

Any cases you guys can reccomend that can hold cards or folded post its?
Thanks

I want to try the CM4 case, but I can't get myself to spend $35-40 on it. Its a TPU case with a leather card holder. The speaker vent is cool too. You can find it on Amazon and eBay. eBay has a $5 off $20 on cell phone accessories promo going on today.

This looks cool, is the door secured enough? It's concerning when it gets bumped that the door would open and spill the cards out.
If secured enough then it's a good deal for $5 only at this time.

Samsung Galaxy S Wallet Review [Credit Cards, Cash & Phone!]

Hey Guys
I've recently purchased an accessory from eBay. It came yesterday and I have got to tell you it's the best case I have bought for the Galaxy S, and I must have bought 6 or 7 cases for it, as I like to change. The case I bought is great, because it frees up space in my pocket because I can carry the cards I use every day (debit cards, membership cards, college card etc...) in the same case as I carry my phone. You can see how the case holds both the phone and the cards in the picture, and their is a compartment behind the cards holder for cash and other items of use (such as my bike key and house key).
eBay Listing Here​
I have also seen the video for the Samsung Galaxy S drop test, and me being a 'safety freak' as I don't want it to break, put it to the test whilst it was in this case. The phone simply clips inside and is very sturdy, the phone has never fallen out of its clip and is actually pretty hard to remove, which is something I like for safety reasons. I dropped the phone onto tile flooring whilst the case was closed, from a height of about 7ft. This is little above my height, as I am 6ft2" and whilst making a call it could be easy to drop. The phone was fine, no scratch or scuff marks, and the screen was intact! I have tried this whilst the case is both opened and closed, and it seems that the case almost closes its self when it is dropped to protect the screen which is a massive pro for this casing!
Now, onto the bad things about this casing. As you can see, the hinge is leather, as you would expect it to be for style. This means that you have to fold over the leather {which doesn't damage it in any way}, whilst you are making a phone call, or it just flaps all over your face. The same goes for typing, it's difficult to type fast with both fingers, unless of course you fold the case over, which is no big deal! One other con with this product, is that when you first insert your credit card type objects, they are hard to remove and are a tight fit, but once you've put them in and removed them a few times, it becomes looser and things become much easier.
So theirs my review on this case. You can get it from eBay and I purchased it for £7.90 with free postage and packaging, from a UK supplier, so these aren't manufactured in Hong Kong or China. It's a great product, and if you're looking to free up some space in your pockets, whilst protecting your phone, I would definitely recommend this to you. It also comes with 2 free screen protectors and a cleaning cloth, which aren't great and I personally don't use them as it's gorilla glass, but some people do use them, and you've got 2, so if you put one on wrong or break one, you've got another go, well worth the money! I will shortly take some pictures of my case, and not use the one on eBay which could be seen as biased towards selling the product.
Thanks for reading the review!

Just how hard is it to remove? Is it easy enough to remove that its not a negative when you get in the car and want to move it to the car holder?
It's not of great difficulty to remove, but you will need two hands to remove it. You have to lift it on either side and it unclips.
Thanks for the review, the case looks like a great thing to take out on the town with you, without having 4,5,6 different things to look after.

Here's my case. I bought it at a jumble sale for £0.50p and has seen me through four phones for nearly six years now. A bit clunky but it holds the phone in the front with a Velcro flap and all credit cards, notes my USB etc etc inside. It may not look the most modern but the design and quality is excellent. If it were a little slimmer it would be perfect.
Won't the cards be touching/scratching the Galaxy S?
In which one?

They touch it, but don't scratch the screen. Been using it maybe 1-2 weeks now, and no scratches, it comes with a free screen protector if you wanna put that on but I don't use one. Remember, it's gorilla glass!

got mine today, also not fancy to put on the screen protector ... looks nice and cmon 99p ...
I've got this case, and I absolutely love it. In fact, my 15 year old (who has a Galaxy Portal) wants one for his phone...he thinks it's "cool". I own a Pdair book case, and a few other cases, but this case is definitely the best of them all.

I would delete that second picture. I can read quite a few of the numbers on your credit card and I'm not a determined crook.
Next time just pull the cards out, or just put one that isn't as sensitive.
Just got mine.. the seller kind enough to add me to the safe list so that I can buy the item..
I really like the case, sleek and stylish. You can see that it is really well made..
I got one of these and I'm in two minds about it, on the one hand I really like it the quality is excellent and I got it for a quid when they were on sale.
However, I really would far prefer a flip down because holding it when on a phone call is kinda awkward. It's such a pity because other than that it's pretty much the perfect case.
Hi! Have had this for a while now..and last 2weeks 2 of my bank cards has become unrecognized when trying to use them.. You had cards get broken? Hmm maybe to close to phone magnets? :-(

Just got my eBay Leather Flip Case from Hong Kong

I have to say I ordered this as a stop gap until some of the custom made brands came on line. But, hey, for £6.65 delivered including stylus, screen protector and belt clip, this will do just fine . It is especially useful for propping up the phone at various angles to watch videos and the credit card slots mean I can leave my wallet at home most of the time .
please be very carful, i ordered a pouch from ebay for £3 and the first time i put it in, i thought it was stiff becuase of the leather, but when i took it out, the piece of fabric inside scratched my screen so badly :[ :[ i was SO angry, but thank god it was just the screen protector! i threw away the pouch right then and got a refund from ebay!

This is not a pouch! No way could it scratch the screen . I cannot be negative just because it was cheap. Real leather too - unless they are injecting smells now too lol!
ummm, yeah, fake leather has smell too
anyway, just be careful
Actually it is pretty much the fake leather that smells, the real one does not so much. [/offtopic]

Be careful of what ffs? Jeesh you guys are hard to please. My tongue was firmly in my cheek - I have no doubt whatever this is not real leather - no little tag to say it is genuine you see . But it does fit like a glove and has a very soft lining.
For £6.65 - and everything you get with it - it has to be a bargain that I thought I would pass on to you guys. Sorry if I have upset the cynics. If it falls apart in a year or two (which wouln't surprise me) then I'll just send off for another one .

The exact item I got doesn't seem to be listed any more but this is from the same seller and a near identical picture (mine had white stitching) but this one is over £2 cheaper!
It took 10 days or so which is not bad given the weather problems,
Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered one of their *genuine* leather ones. Not expecting it to be genuine at all but as long as it's functional and protects the phone.
How the heck do they make them so cheap when flying them half way around the world???

Car Cradle $6.99 on VZW.com

Just purchased the car cradle from vzw and it's currently only $6.99 with free 2 day shipping. I have to say, I really like it for my car and the dock with audio out works well. I'm also able to connect my bluetooth while it's in the cradle.
Since I do not have a car dock app installed, I had to install the Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector app from the android market.
Just in case anyone is looking
Yeah they had a deal the other day where u could get the car cradle and the desk cradle for 13 bucks with free 2 day I couldn't resist it.

$13.98 for car mount and desk mount

did the car mount and desk mount too! What a bargain for me!
Car mount and desk cradle for $11.22, thanks for the heads up!!
I got the desk and car pack as well. Awesome deal!
Yeah dude, thanks for the heads up. Passed on the desk cradle 'cause I have the kickstand case. Dock shipping now!
Thanks for the heads up!
I read the reviews, and I'm still weary about spending $15 (after taxes), but I figured I give it a shot.
I had to go with both cradles. That is a deal not to be missed.
Thanks for the heads up. I went with the package also since i get an additional 25% off i got it for like $10
Amazon sells just the car mount for $25
got both, thanks for the heads up
is it possible to use this dock with an extended battery (naztech 2400mAh)?
Will these work with the Verizon cover on the phone, or does the phone have to be naked?
I have the Verizon cover that slips into the belt clip on my sons phone and my phone. Our other to phones have snap on covers. I'd jump on these for all 4 phones if they will work without having to take the covers off the phones to use them. Currently we set the phones in the center console when using the GPS.
Sweet just ordered both for myself and for my wife. $10 with my starbucks employee discount!

According to everything I have read the case will not fit on this... I was going to buy until I read that
I wonder if it would be possible to flex the clips to make it fit. I have a rubber case that is pretty rigid but has some give, so maybe I could make it work...
Anyone try this?
I just ordered it yesterday and I as well have a rubber case on the Fascinate. I shall let you know once I have recieved the dock.

SkyRocket Dock Charger?

Are their any Skyrocket Dock chargers out their? I have searched high and low and can not find any...
I found a universal one online the other day that would be perfect.
Here it is:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sinjimoru-Sync-and-Charge-Dock-Stand-Samsung-Galaxy-S2-S-ll-Color-Black-/220855903037#ht_500wt_1180
I bought the spare battery system from Amazon.
Part: ET-CGPK004GSTA
Came with a NFC-capable Samsung battery and stand, I put my phone in portrait with it plugged in and can use the AirDroid application to send messages.
looking too
Since they put the usb port on the bottom, I am guessing they want to expand to have speakers, alarm clocks and everything else you can dock these phones in. I am guessing that companies that make this stuff will take a while to get these products out. I'm tired of seeing every type of docking station for iPods.
Hopefully there are making this location standard on all the new phones so it could be more universal to fit most android phones.
If anyone finds anything I hope they will post to this thread!

This looks VERY interesting. I have a flexible skin on my SR, and I don't want to take it off to charge it.....for $5 and shipping this could be a good solution for someone with a thin protective cover.
Yeah, thanks for posting that nexendz. I started a similar thread here with some other options but have yet to find something right. Right now I'm using a business card holder with some foam stick on pads as a stand with the stock charger, although that costs about the same as that Zenis dock.

I, too, am using my old Infuse dock. It's a little big, but it charges fine and might be big enough to hold a SR with a thin case.

The diztronic TPU case works with it but is tight. The USB plug doesn't line up with it while the case is on, but it does fit into the dock with this case. I use this dock as well in my vehicle and I just take the case off when I do.
Just so that I'm certain, when you say "the old Infuse dock"

will that work with the SR?

Ordered this one from a different seller; same price, arrived very fast. Works with naked handset but not with the included plastic insert nor with a diztronic TPU case. For $5 I don't mind roughing it up so will try to dremel out the sides and see if I can get a better fit to avoid removing the case every time.
EDIT: Don't mind url butchering, gg 10posts.
Let me know how the butchering goes....got ours in a few days ago and may do the same

Removed 3mm overall from the sides to fit case. Now fits the sides but didn't account for the back so it's a bit tight but I don't mind as it keeps it well seated. It is hollow behind the plastic so you will see the void behind it but since the phone will be in the stand it shouldn't matter, at least it's not white plastic painted black which would look worse.
Thanks!

So it just sets in there? There's no securing it down?
There is no real Need to. The back holds it in place. i thought of some thin 3M tape but would make it thicker. I have seen some thinner wireless receivers out there but they are hard to get and charge with half the power.

I have this one as well and the 'power qi' labeled charger I ordered came in today. Works great! 'Very' slight bulge but really hard to see. I was expecting worse, and think this bulge thing is overstated a bit.
I've got the Trident Aegis case which is pretty bulky and creates a good gap. Although a little more finicky (must be in the right spot) than without the case, it charges fine.
Overall I'm very happy...and I just ordered another charger.... my eBay seller in Hong Kong got the first one to me in 10 days! (I'm in the US).
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
What charger base is he using? Or do you guys use?
The insert took me 10 days to get...US here as well. Well worth the wait and way better then the one from samsung!
Like i said with the case you cant tell anything is there and without it you really cant tell either. I mean that tiny back would not close if it was really bad!
I am using the Nexus Charging Orb that i got when i order my nexus 4. Straight from the play store. Its a little pricey but its crazy awesome quality and direct from google. It is a 1000mA charger
I will see if i can get a charging screen shortly
I'm using the same charging receiver . Got it from an online retailer (fasttech) at much cheaper price.
quick delivery, but this is the first time i'm having a problem with what they sent.
This one is not working for me. Quite erratic. It just keeps on connecting and disconnecting the charging .
maybe I'm the only one receiving a defective piece. Will wait for fasttech's response before heading to aliexpress.
If you hate the "huge" bulge, just get another cheap back cover and cut a hole for the charger (with heated knife or something really sharp), then secure it with some tape. Put even the thinnest case on top and you're ready to go.
That is unless the case is transparent
