I've noticed that a friend of mine still holding on to an old Galaxy S III has a nice little flip cover case for it (apparently itself a Samsung product); I believe it is this one. I'm looking for something similar for my Nexus 6 - who can give me a few pointers? (Keep in mind that I live in Canada.)
I'm looking for something as well. Lots of similar ones on Amazon, but looking for something proven.
I ended up ordering the Case-Mate Stand Folio, and it got here today; I think it will do what I wanted it to do.
I got the Case-mate from Google play and I really don't like it. I love the idea and using it as a stand but I don't like the way it feels when it is open and I am trying to use it. Not sure what I am going to do with it now...

I have been looking for a case for my new nook color (yay for my kids getting it for mother's day!) and haven't been able to find exactly what I want.
I want one that has a stand that can work vertical and horizantal but I still want it to be a book form that is pretty. I also can't spend more than $35.
After looking at a lot of stand cases and regular cases...I was just thinking...what if I attached a stand (even from a cheap frame or something) to the inside flap of a really cute regular book style case.
As I've just had it for a few days and spent the first few getting it setup, I haven't seen if this is something anyone else has tried...has anyone tried and posted results??
I really am thinking about trying this but would feel a lot better about getting the regular case and messing with it if someone else has tried and succeeded before
thoughts? do you think it would work? suggestions? thank you!!!
i purchased a package from amazon that included a case that fits exactly what your saying. It looks like a small book and can stand vertical or horizontal. Just type in "crazyondigital nook color" on amazon and it pulls up the case and package. Its super cheap and ive been thoroughly impressed with the quality since i paid about 25 dollars for a whole package of accessories. Anyways good luck finding a case.

Is this posting new or old? I know previously Otterbox said they will not make a case for the Nexus S, so I am wondering if they changed their mind or if this Amazon posting is from when they were planning on making a case. (Note how there is none in stock right now.)
Odd that you can't see the Otterbox logo on it LOL
hmmm the seller is actually OtterBox.. Hope this is real
No it is not, I live in Colorado and called otterbox yesterday because they are only 50 miles from me and they told me that they do not have anything in the works for the Nexus S, which means I guess that there is no chance right now!!!! Oh well maybe if they get enough inquireies they might but I doubt it!!!
the thing is that Otterbox was going to make the case but then they decided not to make it.
Actually I believe they did release it, but it had problems fitting because of the curved screen. Then they took it off their web site. I remember when it came into stock but at that point I was tired of waiting.
There is a thread about it here if you search.
since it's not real, can some one point me to an alternative?
I have the tmobile nexus s. I've been looking online and found a few that look cool but don't really match what I want exactly or that are made for the Nexus S specifically.
This one is almost perfect. I'd rather it load from the top so I can pull the phone out without having to open the wallet. Like keep the wallet in the pocket and still pull out the phone. Also this one may be a tad on the small side for the dimensions of the nexus s. I'd also like to keep it thin. Cards, cash and phone.
I can't believe I'm the only one who would want that...
I think i kind of hate the leather covers, coz with time the cover tend to get bad smell...!!!
take a look on pdair, i bought a case for my ex aver liquid and is still looking good

Can anyone tell me what the best case would be for my HD2, besides an otterbox?
I have the US version of the phone which is longer than the European..
And I have searched everywhere, and I am pretty sure that I read that they stopped making otterboxes for these because everywhere is sold out (I can't even find any on Ebay or Amazon!).
I had my phone for a week and it fell out of my pocket onto my driveway and the screen cracked like a spider web.. So now I have to spend about $150 to get the screen replaced, and I am not willing to do so unless I can get a secure case for it..
Any suggestions?

This should probably be in the 'HD2 Accessories' section, you'll get more info there I guess. I personally use the leather HTC pouch which came free with my phone, and it works extremely well! I've had the phone for a year and not a single scratch on it even though it's constantly in contact with my keys and stuff.
Piel Frama (http://www.pielframa.com/htc-touch-hd-2-imagnum-tan-cases.htm)
I think it's the best!
Sorry, I didn't realize that there was a forum for HD2 accessories...
But those leather cases are more like pouches, right? As in, you still have to pull the phone out to use it, and its more of just a carrying case?
I am looking for something like an OtterBox, with maximum protection and is always on the phone

Oh right, yeah they are but I personally don't find it much trouble. I think there may be one which is more like the otterbox one as well (by HTC) so try it, the leather gives a nice high quality feeling
The Otterbox Defender is a good case, as long as you don't need to get the phone in and out of the case.
It is two pieces, a silicone rubber case, then a hard plastic shell. If you need to change the battery or reboot the phone by pulling the battery, there is a good chance the plastic shell will split or break.
I've been through two of those cases. The first one Otterbox customer service (very nice FWIW) sent me a new one under warranty. After the second one cracked I just didn't bother. Even cracked it protects the phone pretty well.
There just aren't that many cases for the HD2 since every other day HTC comes out with a new phone.

Found the one I meant, it's here and it seems alright, although I've never used it before.
What about one of these?

I prefer to take the phone out for use. I've had the HD2 since release and always go back to the original case as supplied with the HD2:

Haha yeah, see my problem is that I will take it out, but never put it back in...
Boxwave corsa moda case are next best to otterbox, i'm using one.for Tmous hd2 ,you can get it for $19 they have two type of case,book type & flip type,I'm using the flip type..hope it helps
I have a otterbox defender for tmo US HD2 in like-new condition I rarely use & would be open to selling or trading for the right offer. i didn't realize how rare these are now... I've checked ebay several times over the last couple months trying to see what they sell for, but i haven't seen a single one up there!
Id love to trade for a 64gb sandisk microsdxc if anyone would be willing... Id ofcourse put in something else or cash on top of the case to make it fair. any interest, pm me an offer.

I've come across them on ebay every once in awhile but your right, they can be very hard to find even on other websites as well. And then most of the times when you do find them its for the international model which i believe wont fit the US version. I've had some luck with other ebay countries that ship to the US but thats really hit and miss.
A new 64gb sandisk microsdxc will set you back around $95-$135 and a new otterbox would cost around $40-$50 and thats if you can even find it which would be difficult to say the less. I read some reviews of people who didn't like theirs but most seem quite happy with it. Considering that they are hard to find his offer isn't really to high priced especially considering he offered to add money towards the trade. About two months ago I seen a used one go for like $40 on ebay if i remember correctly but then again one sold for only $13 w/ free shipping a couple weeks ago. You can see that here. Worth way more then $13 though, who ever got a steal on that.
Considering our phone has Cornings Gorilla Glass I think there is really no need to go all out. Get a nice full body screen protector such as clear-coat found here and put it in a fairly nice...but not break your bank account nice case. Something around $10 should do. Clear-coat normally has sales/coupons going on so if you do go that route try to look one up. I've had mine in a cheap $5 case since i bought it just after they came out and have even dropped it a few times, luckily my phone still looks like its in mint condition.
Yeah, I didn't mean that I'd only trade it for a 64gb microSD... if anyone wants to make any offer, I'd consider it. I already have a Noreve leather case that I use for my HD2, and I've rarely used the otterbox case, so I figure there's no reason for me to hang on to it.

I have this one and its probably one of the nicer cases I've used.
35-60 bucks go to fortte.com they have good ones. And they customize it if u input directions. Like they'll add straps and stuff.

Bought the T-Mobile S6 yesterday and went looking for the keyboard case. The store did not have it.
I noticed all the best buy stores in my area did not have it. Amamzon shows 1-3 months shipping.
Yes I can order online, but I don't see the case available in the shop Samsung app at all.
Just made me think, with all the bad reviews, maybe they are going to release an updated version.
Could just be wishful thinking..lol.

Still available on Samsung UK.
I spoke to someone on their live chat the other day who said there are currently no plans to change it.

Ahh well... Wishful thinking..?
I haven't got mine yet, I held off at first because of the long shipping delays. But the other day it was about $50 usd off on Amazon and "only" 2 weeks to ship so it's on the way now. Design looks fine to me, I think I understand the limitations enough going in but I shall find out soon.
I did just receive my Keyboard case from Samsung.US. It was on back-order for 4 weeks.
I am using this now for 1 week and it sticks really well. No issue at all. I did not have to clean the back of my tablet or anything.
I also removed it several times and it did stick really well. Also after I but it back.
I have no issue at all and am very happy with it.
Maybe they did change something?
So the Amazon delivery estimate has been saying a few months, but it was at my door within a week of ordering, so I would recommend to go ahead and place the order.
As for the case sticking, I've had no problems either. The instructions also clearly state the back needs to be stuck on and left for an hour to adhere properly, so keep that in mind. Also I would clean the surface of tablet just incase before applying unless Its brand new like when I applied mine...
I wish there was a redesign. The body case seems to un-stick randomly and it provides not protection around the sides nor does it keep the screen's edges protected with a "lip".
Otherwise, if someone would make a case that would cover at least 3 sides of the tablet and leave just enough of the side with the keyboard pin connector exposed to attach the keyboard, that would be great. Either that or that side of the tablet is a flap that can be opened to attach the keyboard.
I purchased a $6 silicon case for every day use since I mostly just use the Tab S6 at home sitting in my recliner. But, I wanted the keyboard for those times that I didn't want to swipe everything.
However, the back piece of the keyboard case just doesn't impress me since it's not an easy auto-on/auto-off in any respect. So, I've been considering getting another silicon case that I can attach the keyboard case back cover to, then cut the silicon case just enough to allow the keyboard to attach.
So, what do you guys think? Will the keyboard case back cover's stickyness adhere to silicone better than the back of the tablet?

It looks like the silicon clear case works.

Samsung will never have the integrity to do a redesign for a product accessory, especially a device in their tablet lineup that they don't give two ****s about.
