Generic TPU case w side grips (PICS)

Picked this up online at HandheldItems for $6 (after using coupon code: galaxytab20 for 20% off). It fits the Tab very snugly, has all the ports/controls exposed & has a sorta smooth matte finish instead of a glossy/rubbery finish like other TPU cases.
It's good quality for generic & you can't beat the price for what you get. Much better option IMO than blowing $40 on the Belkin Grip Vue that Best Buy is selling (which covers up the SD & SIM slots!).

The cheap silicon skin I bought for my Tab is on all the time.
Great essential protection against scratches and knocks, good grip, minimum footprint.

Where did you get it from?and how much it cost?

Got it here for around $6 after applying the 20% off coupon code I mentioned in the original post: http://www.handhelditems.com/samsung-galaxy-frosted-skin-with-side-grip-solid-black-p-152335.html

Thanks alot sorry for the inconvinient

To OP...thanks for the link, am thinking of ordering one...for back protection I already ordered a Skinit skin...not sure if it will cover the sides, if not will order one of these...
Would have preferred an Otterbox but they don't have a case for the Tab yet...:-(

we have the same case, but mine is transparent, got it for Philippine Peso 400 ($9). As for the sleeve, it was just given by a friend who just came back from Singapore.

Cool. yeah, they had that one too but I was afraid that since I had the all black Tab that the clear TPU case would be more like "frosted" & make the black back look all faded & kinda off color.
Is the clear one really clear, or is it frosted a bit??

It's frosted, if you want clear you might want to consider brando clear hard shell

Wanted to order but changed my mind...shipping cost for an US$8 case is US$25!!! That made me think twice...will see if I can pick up something cheaper locally...:-(

Keep in mind its generic so you can pick it up on eBay too for probably free shipping. It'll most likely ship from somewhere in Asia though & take longer.

Pouch Tech 21 d3o case :)

I've just seen the Tech 21 d30 Flip Case for Google Nexus S and it looks very ineresting - it's a flip case and a stand at the same time.
Not to everyones taste but definitely interesting.

the case looks as if it is covering the capacitive keys on the bottom a little.

Found a Solid Nexus S Pouch
I was always a big fan of the Nexus One pouch and wanted to try and find one for the Nexus S. The Nexus One pouch was a little too tight on the NS and I'm keeping my Nexus One for now anyway.
I found this pouch on ebay and just got it in the mail today:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...m=&sspagename=ADME:L:OU:US:1123#ht_2415wt_907
The pouch is almost identical in quality and design to the N1 pouch except it is larger and says Samsung in small print. No Andy logo.
I paid only $3.99 including shipping and am very happy with it.

Thanks for the review. I think I'll pick one up too. How long did it take to arrive from HK?
Thanks

Hey thanks for sharing. Picked 1 up myself

it's a fine pouch,
but doesn't it gets in the way, having to always slide in, and slide out?
i still prefer the Gel skin or rubber shell cases than a pouch, unfortunately there are no after market gel skins available yet.
the ones on sale at BB is only available in Purple according to the website

im sorry but i do not understand having a pouch for your cellphone. you might as well buy a tamagachi and store it in that pouch too, along with your gold foil chocolates and pogs and rare pokemon cards. come on. grow up.

You're an idiot. Point in case, a guy posted on XDA a couple months ago about going to a bar with friends and a buddy of his spilled a beer on his N1 and pouch. phone was taken out, pouch was rung out and washed, 500$ phone was protected. The MEANING of the pouch is protection. Come on, you understand that concept, right...grown up?

guys please keep the tone down a bit
bennettm89 got an excellent point in regards to the spill protection, it happens more often than you think

haha fine.

I actually got rid of my wallet because the n1 came with a pouch. I sewed in a "pocket" on the inside of the pouch for my CCs and Ids.
It's a relief to not have to carry around both a wallet and a phone now. I also have to worry less about "losing my wallet" cause I'm for damn sure not misplacing my phone.

Has anyone tried the pouch with the Android logo on it, and does it fit nicely?
I can't post links, but it's the "Black Neoprene Pouch Case for Nexus S" on eBay.

I don't use cases or screen protectors so I need to protect the phone when its my pocket. Cases and screen protectors ruin the experience of the phone.

Can you post actual pictures of this pouch with the phone in it? I love my N1 case that i hacked up, but its not the fit i want.

shame, i see this thread right after i get back from buying a case from BBY, oh well. I rather have constant protection but i did like the sleeve that my N1 had

ya thats what i heard as well, but to be honest i dont see how it could, phones pretty damn snug in there

I also picked one up too. $2.99. Can we see some shots?

bodyglove case

http://shop2.sprint.com/NASApp/onli...ryID=CZS5478Q&topPageNumber=0&subPageNumber=0 im going to try this out tomorrow,had one for the galax.1 and the infuse,slim and good protection and grip,of course i will get screen protectors!!

I bought this case at the Sprint store the day I bought my phone just to have something to protect it in until I figured out what I wanted to do as a long term solution. This case ended up being that long term solution. It is very light and thin yet I feel provides a lot of protection on the corners and sides of the phone as well as protruding higher than the glass front of the phone in case the phone is dropped face first. I like the texture on the back of the case a lot in terms of my ability to hang on and use the phone with one hand. This case is a keeper in my opinion.

I also got this same case on release day, it's good case the design on the back gives it good grip. Like stated before it is keeper. But for me I gonna go with something a bit thinker just so I have a piece of mind. hopefully BG makes a tactic style case like the one for the gs3.
these don't look bad in the glacier color.
http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Gal...eries-Case/sam4-galaxy-note-2,default,pd.html

Picked one up from sprint as well and i really like it Offers nice protection, grip, and feel. I also got it to hold me over until i found a case i wanted for long term but may end up keeping it, it all depends on if my flygrip sticks well to that textured back.

Any chance this is available for international customers?
The body glove that is.

I too picked one of these up at a Sprint store. I had to go to an official sprint store, the affiliate store I checked first said there weren't any cases being made yet. I paid $26. I agree with the above comments, it's quite nice, although I'll go with a water resistant (siedo/otterbox) whenever it comes out. I did have to trim the top edge of a couple of my microusb cables, I thought about trimming the case but it's pretty thin there, and I only had to very slightly bevel the plastic of the cable. I've had the same problem with my Nexus 7 so no biggie.

Yeah i just bought one too and this thing is too flimsy for my taste. I got spoiled by the Speck case for my Note 1. But i had to patience. Couldnt keep my phone in a plastic box for 2 weeks.

I would LOVE to have a Speck - the Speck case for my 80G Ipod looks like a tire!

Yep, I like this case a lot also but can't find it in France or elsewhere in Europe...

Also, this case isn't super rubbery feeling. If that's what you're looking for then this case isn't for you. Personally, I don't care for silicone cases because they get stuck in my pocket and and too rubbery feeling. This case is a bit more pvc feeling and isn't rubberized. I didn't think I would like it, but it's pretty solid. It's a bit more expensive though.

This looks close to what I am looking for. Is it one piece? Seems like it would just slide out ?

Yes it's one piece. Goes on like a TPU case does, just wraps around the phone
Sent from my SPH-L900

the only disadvantage is it doesn't have the raised areas over the buttons. that's key on the samsung case. I would much rather have the textured back on this one though. It feels great overall, slim, light, and makes the phone feel solid. I wish there was some compromise between them.

So has anyone found a way to get the body glove outside US? It seems to be perfect for my needs. Slimmer and prettier than the samsung tpu case. I've searched but nobody ships it to Europe. Is Sprint the only store selling it? Do you think the case will become available wider or should I just buy the samsung tpu?

I like the case too. You can order from sprint.com no matter where you live or order over the phone from them.

My cousin just got the GNII 2 days ago, and he too rapped it with the Bodyglove case. So far he likes the case a lot. For me when I get the GNII on 12/1, I will be going the Otterbox Commuter series case route. I will not take any chances when dropping $299 with a 2 year attachment, lol...

I have one, feels awesome. Just wish it had the covers over the buttons. other than that, no complaints

Hate
I hate the cases with covers over the buttons. Takes away from the feel of the phone and having to press extra hard to get a response from the buttons sucks. I have never had a BG cover that I have ever liked. Seen this one on the Sprint sight when I ordered it and it looked good so I gave it a shot. I have had 6 different TPU cases on other phones and this case is the best I have used. So I don't find it a down fall at all the buttons are not covered. Plenty of grip. Raised areas cover the camera and screen edge perfectly. Get it and you wont be disappointed! :good:

No we can't. Sprint.com doesn't ship outside US. That's the problem.

Pics of my new case with pre-made cut-out for Samsung flip

I purchased two of these cases from a company called Strapya. They are made in Japan by a company called Rayout. I modified about ten cheap ebay cases to work with my Samsung flip case by cutting out one of the sides. They looked okay, but I'm a bit OCD, and I wanted something that is pre-made to work with the Samsung flip case. I was not disappointed in these, even though I ended up paying about $35 total after shipping for two cases, an orange and a black case. At about $18 per case (after shipping), it's true they are a lot more expensive than $2 TPU ebay cases, but they have a much different feel. The TPU has a spongy texture that isn't slippery. It's also thicker, tougher-feeling, and weightier than cheap ebay TPU. The cuts are obviously smooth and perfect. I am very satisfied.

The cases took about ten days to arrive.

This does look nice.. When all my flip cases come in the mail I might have to order this

Cos that thread you linked to is about someone modding the genuine Sammy case to fit with the flip case.... Not a case designed to fit with the flip case..... Maybe
Why not just have one thread per forum about cases and let everything get lost in there.

The thread you pointed to is people modifying their cases. If I am not mistaken, this one is about not modifying a case. In my opinion it's not the same.
I appreciate this thread because I have been curious as to how the store bought cases compare to the modded ones. This info would have gotten lost had it been posted in the other thread.

Sure. I initially left out a link to the cases on the Strapya website, but I amended my original post. I bought two because the shipping cost is equal to the price of one case. If I recall correctly, you can get two cases, and the combined shipping is the same as buying one case.

I was able to get the case on with my DL and a CC in there. It doesnt fit very well, it creates a gap at the bottom and where the case meets the buttons on the back. Putting just 1 card in the case, you cant even tell its there. Keep in mind I have a AZ DL which is very thick compared to say a CA DL.

It's a decent case. I'm not a big fan of tpu style cases but this one is nice. I think it's a bargain at $7.

I've used a diztronic back in the gs3 days and they seem close. Diztronic is a shady company though so I'd never support them again.

I'm also not a fan of the "lip" on the front and back of the diztronic case for this phone. Seems like it would trap lint like crazy.
