so type
Leather Case Skin for Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G Sprint in the ebay search box and it should come up.

Havent had a problem, use a leather magnetic case from eddie bauer that I found at Best Buy mobile.
Does anybody have or use the Seidio leather case for the epic? Just wondering how well it fits the phone or how well the phone slides in and out of it. Also how easily can the magnet be clamped and unclamped while not looking at it.
I bought the bestsources (seller's name, not necessarily a description, though I've had good experiences with them ) case -- I had one for my Touch Pro, one for my N900, and now one for my Epic when it gets here.
In the meantime, I'm using the N900's case for it. Fitting, since I usually used the Touch Pro's case for the N900... :/ I wonder if I'm even going to use the Epic's case.
The magnet hasn't caused any problems at all with the Epic that I've noticed.

The leather case is designed to fit a bare device so it will slide in/out smoothly, The magnet is pretty strong but works fluently with the case.
The magnet does not affect the phone.
I bought a leather holster at the Sprint store today actually.
It has a magnet, but it is not near as strong as some of the ones I have had in the past, but it still holds the flap strong against the case.
This particular case even has the Galaxy S logo etched into the metal in the middle of the flap - yeah its sexy.
$34 at Sprint, and since its Galaxy S Branded, I think it's a good deal.

Came across this case on ebay, and I very much like the look of it. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this/these types of cases? Also, I remember I bought a metal case for my HTC Kaiser a few years back and it affected the phone signal significantly and I could barely pick anything up at all.
I'm currently using a pretty cool "rubber" type case which was cheap and I'm happy with, but wouldn't mind exploring other avenues too for a aluminium case.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I forgot to say.. This is case I'm currently using
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hybrid-XYLO...=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1308667192&sr=1-2-catcorr
I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a soft case
I've heard mixed reviews about these and have never tried one myself, but here you go:

darn. i like the material/build of the aluminum one but i wish it was made so you can flip it open rather than open the case then flip the phone open...
I am currently using a Griffin Ipad1 folio case, paid $5 from the verizon sale, classy high quality leather look, well built, great protection and most importantly it doesn't block anything. I mean ANYTHING including the most important speakers which is also where the heat coming outs also. It is almost a perfect case to use it at work and school but I am trying to find something little bit different when I am using it at home.
Most of the Ipad1 folio cases will work but just depends on the style and the quality you want. I am thinking something close to the otterbox style, I tried a few cases and been reading alot online.
Otterbox, as everyone know it does not fit unless someone smart comes out with a easy way to modify it to fit then it will be the most ideal case.
Speck Candyshell hard case, some said it will fit so I ordered one from ATT (Since you don't like it you can return it back to retail store). It does but it's little bit loose so it's not secured enough and the volume down is stuck. No go.
Hp OEM case, best fit and best looking case for the touchpad but not enough protections compares to the Griffin case. If you have an OEM case, you should try out the griffin case.
After countless hours of researching... saw this little Speck IPAD1 rubber case that might work for the touchpad. It's called Speck Pixelskin Silicone Soft Grip Case for IPAD1.
Someone is selling on Ebay for $10 now, does anyone have this to confirm the fitment? Thanks,

Did the case fit your touchpad? i just picked up 2 on ebay for nephews and want to protect the tablet. thanks.
For most phones and tablets it's pretty easy to find decent cases, iPhone and iPad Users are spoilt for choice, Samsung useres can also pick and choose how they like, even for the Nexus 5X and 6P one can find an abundance of cases in any color shape or form. But not for the Pixel C - doubtless this is because of the slender market for this tablet. I have been looking all over the net for a simple TPU case for the Pixel C, you know the type of silicone case that just covers the back of the device but not the screen. All I could find was universal folio cases or smart cases with a lid. I even tried my luck on searching Chinese wholesale but no luck. If anyone has come across a simple back cover only TPU or hard shell case that only covers the back please let me know.
Thanks so much.

I also want a TPU case and haven't found anything anywhere - ebay, amazon, vendor sites
This is exactly what I'm looking for as well. All I can find are folios. :/

yep. this. i want the rubber bumper case type cover because the back of the device is so slick that it tends to want to slide off my lap. also, it would be nice to have something to soften the bezel edge because it can dig into your hands if you're holding it for a long time.
Totally agree. There seems to be a Chinese design for a bumper case, however it doesn't seem possible to order it at the moment. Anyone else had any luck finding one ?

Potentially
Came across this guy that might fit the bill:
amzn.com/B01CQTFRAK
No reviews and takes forever to ship. If it were cheaper I'd definitely take the jump, but I'm a bit skeptical...
Does anybody know about these? skinomi.com/google-pixel-c.html

I already contacted them, the description is wrong. They sell "normal" pu leather folios, some are bundled with headphones or screen protectors. They removed the product i mentioned in my request but all other bundles are still listed with the wrong description.
what a freakin' tease. i would have loved to have had that clear tpu case.
All products mentioned are found on US Amazon.com
So far the only TPU case I have seen that's for Pixel C <--- does NOT fit Pixel C as customer lefted a photo review on the product he received.
http://www.amazon.com/Junsi-Leather-Headphone-Google-Tablet/dp/B01CQTFSKO
I do not have it in my possession to test the fitment yet, just wanna get the words out with others that's looking for one.
(granted the demo photos doesn't show pixel C in it, but some other products. Just hope these China vendors get the fitment right.)
Other interesting alternatives I have seen so far is the full body coverage skin
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi%C2%AE-TechSkin-Protector-Replacement-Anti-Bubble/dp/B017L0UKOW
Personally I'm currently using Moko's folio cover as the additional thickness it added is still deem acceptable to me and does the job.

Hey there, the skinomi skins work just fine. A bit of a pain to apply but not too bad, just watch their intructional Video. But this is just a Skin and no case, so no drop protection really.

Thanks SonySteve I have the skinomi techskin on. Just such a shame though, as I would have loved a simple bumper case.

That's exactly my concern also. At most it'll just prevent scratches on the original metal body, wouldn't prevent / provide enough protection from possible little bumps / drops during daily uses.

Exactly, a Skin is not enough, a Folio Case will protect the Pixel C allround but I really dislike the front Display flap. Very annoying. I opted for buying the skinomi techskin combined with this http://www.amazon.com/Booncover-Uni...=UTF8&qid=1463390156&sr=8-2&keywords=Reboon+l
This is expensive though. Would have much prefered a simple bumper case. Grrr.
Negative on the potential TPU case I shared the other day.
A customer that got the product, left a photo review saying it aren't the right fitment.........

This is frustrated, I can't find no bumper case for this device.
i thought about trying to find a similar shaped tablet and using a tpu case for it and i would just make my own camera/speaker holes. not the prettiest solution but i think it would get the job done. the closest thing i could find to the pixels dimensions was the galaxy tab 10.1. so i'm thinking about picking up this case:

Let u s know how well it fits. Thank you and all the Best
I ordered a cheap chinese tpu case for a samsung galaxy tab 10.1 but it does not fit.
The corners of the Samsung device are rounder than the pixel c. Height and width are ok.
I had to remove the corners of the case, now the tablet fits, but the corners are needed to give the case stability and keep it around the tablet.
Without the corners the case slips down of the tablet easily. I hoped it would fit but without the stability it is useless for me...
Hello I am wondering if anyone knows of a good quality horizontal belt holder that works with the g5 and allows for a case? My case is not very thick but I would not call it slim either.
To give you an idea of what I mean by good quality I want it to be leather and the last one that I had was actually fake leather and the support was cardboard. That one got decent ratings on Amazon for quality but when it fell apart it became clear that it was not good.
I use this belt clip on my V10 since I was unable to to find a holster for it. It works great! and it fits the G5.

I also use the Seideio LGG4 Cased jholsteras well

I never used one of those, but every case or holder with a plastic clip I have had has broken within 3 months. I am not sure I want to spend that money on something that my experience indicates would probably not last very long.
I almost forgot that in previous experience I have had problems with clips like that causing the phone to fall every time I get out of my car and I noticed a few reviews mentioning that on that clip as well. Seems like a bit of a risk to me.
Found this thread and the suggestion by @shaun0207 and figured I'd give it whirl! Thanks for that!
I have the Otterbox Defender (too damn bulky), the Evocel holster/clip (too flimsy and difficult to remove from belt clip) and now am going to try the Spigen walletcase in conjunction with the mophie universal clip
I'll let you guys know how it works out

Great! I have been seriously considering just getting the few tools and some materials and just making my own since it seems very hard to find ones that are well made. If I do I would basically have a thick, stiff leather back (I have a good sized piece of lace leather that I think would work well for that), a couple of belt loops either made from that same thick leather or a slightly thinner more flexible leather, then a soft leather for the rest of the holder with a flap for closing and probably just some cheap magnets hidden within for holding it closed. Should be pretty simple to put together (though there would likely be some trial and error involved).

I only had it come out of the clip once and it was in the car. If you can, check it out in Best Buy. It really holds the phone well.
