Has anyone else got one of the South Korean Leather cases?

I've ordered one from fleabay (item # 320561664294) because I'm really worried about either scratching the front screen or dropping it or something.

I've currently got a Golla pouch to keep it in.

I'm terrible with phones - I have a Crackberry 8900 which is in terrible condition - because I keep putting my phone in the same pocket as keys and so on.

I bought some cheap silicon case but it just doesnt fit me so i ordered a more "fancy" case... It looks very stylish atleast to me, so i couldn't resist in ordering it

here it is: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=230500712208
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
the link doesn't work

what was it?

PDair silicon case

Ordered a PDair luxury silicon case in black yesterday, I don't expect it to arrive before 2 weeks though. Will post my impressions when it arrives!

On a side note,I use my old very cheap silicon case from my htc touch HD, and it fits better than on the HD it was made for! That is, the holes are obviously misplaced, but it used to be slightly to big for my HD, meaning everytime I took it out of my pocket I had to readjust it. Now it fits on the Galaxy S like spandex on a Russian ballet dancer!

I want to try the PDair case to see for myself if the 5X increase in price is justified or not. (compared to the generic cheap ones)

More in a few days...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kempas:
Another thought on the external HD case protection idea...

Cases that they sell for protection/transport of external 2.5" hard drives would probably be a good zip up case.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
it works, but very inconvenient, did that for a while for my HTC Athena

but after a few weeks i gave up, it was too annoying.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Aphristo:
Hey guys

I`ve also found a very good case in E-Bay Germany.

I`m using this case for a week now. It fit`s very well, doesn`t even smell like rubber and it`s shutter proof. After a fall of 80 cm there wasn`t even a scratch on the case and of course not on my phone.

There is also a display cover with the case which works very well.

There are some links to an korean retailer but i think the Germans are more serious and quicker than the Koreans, even if the are more expensive.

I love ma case and looking forward to order the green color too.

Oh boy, i even can`t paste a link.

Just looking for "Zenus samsung galaxy s" in ebay.de and location set to germany.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Piny12:
Hey could you please take some pics and upload them here? I don't trust sellers pictures. I always want to see real pictures to rate the product.

In one picture there is a hole on the edge of the case, why? My Galaxy S has nothing that would be important there.

http://www.aa-g.de/kundendownload/pb/ebay/3.jpg
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
which side of the case, and which hole?

the Korea version of the SGS supposedly has a DTV antenna of some sort, that comes out the phone, and all the cases sold from Korea seems to confirms that, as the cases i've ordered from Korea have those holes, but not when i order the international version of the case
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Piny12:
Then it might be exactly that what youre saying. Just take a look at the picture that I've linked to. The photo is nearly at the bottom of the pic.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hanhav:
I got the Zenus silicone case the other day after a long wait.

I think it isn´t very good. It´s a little too slippery and soft.

And it is also too expensive for what its like.

I´ve couple of those cheaper silicone cases and compared to them, Zenus isn´t that good.

I prefer those "gel" cases on ebay.

They are a little sticky and fit very good and the material is little tougher.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
i got the one from Korea (the diamond/bubbly looking ones), and they are very good, better than the Zenus one, strong yet soft good for drop protection

http://cgi.ebay.com/GARIZ-SAMSUNG-G...70615599951?pt=PDA_Accessories#ht_4860wt_1137

They look even better than the zenus.

I'm thinking of getting one, but 60$ is like... 1/3 of the price of the phone with a contract lol.

Theres the 15$ worth steinheil lcd protector with it tho.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClV7HB8W35w&feature=player_embedded
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
they don't show how to use the phone with the phone on, in the pictures

it appears to be a flap up/down type of cover case

very annoying for me, but some people like this sort of case.

50$ :eek::eek::eek: for Zenisis is too much .... Even though it looks good at least in the paper :rolleyes:

I've been waiting for this case from Krusell to be released for some time now.

.krusellcases.com/uk/p_krusell_product.aspx?i=202430

And according to expansys should be realesed in the UK in about a week.

.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=202430

Used thier N82 version when I had that & it was excellent.

it seems this shop has the SGP Ultra Slider hard case in stock:

http://www.exportprive.com/ultra-slider-hard-case-samsung-galaxy-soul-p-13257.html

If only it would've been less thick and not just a plastic cover without any form of extra impact-protection + the cut-out for the dvb antenna annoyes me too, are all these cases made for koreans?...

really hope a decent case will show up soon, this slider case is getting close.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
i'm using the red one, is beautiful!

everyone asking what phone is that?

but if leave it out without the case, then people thinks it's an iphone :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] omaga:
@AllGamer

I took the black one, the case seems realy slim fit like a glove on the galaxy on the pictures..is it? and how is the quality? I dont have mine yet
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] lex_87:
I've ordered the black mesh case, they look good. Hope I haven't made a mistake not getting the red one!

Yeah having the same problem with people saying it is/looks like an iphone! I probably make it worse by having one of those black silicone cases which make it look even more like an iphone :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] stickyasglue:
has anyone tried one of the PDAir aluminium cases ? look like they might be ok
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] silverwolf0:
Are there any cases that have that soft rubber material? I really like it and it makes any phone feel premium grade.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] snapper.fishes:
There's plenty of soft rubber ones on ebay. Just search for Galaxy S cases.

Has anyone bought one of those slider cases? I can accept the radar hole, but I am worried about the phone strap. For the Galaxy S you have to remove the back cover casing in order to attach the phone strap, something that you won't be able to do after sliding the phone into the case.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] FITRS:
Yes it seems like it's hard to find that perfect screen protector. It looks very slick in your photos.

No problems thanks for the clarification! They indeed look almost the same except for branding.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sareen:
has and one tried these? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ORANGE-HYBRID..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item230917a34f
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
today whilst shopping i saw a mini shop in a shopping centre selling the mesh cases for the SGS. I didn't see a price, and didn't have time to ask, but it was the exact same one i'm sure. So if it's here, it'll probably be in many other stores that are around the world... you just need to check out those mini shops that sells phone accessories (usually just a stand/small store somewhere in the middle of a shopping centre, and usually run by asians) and chances are, they might have them =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] oswade:
Where do you live (country)? I thought that the mesh cases are made by a korean company, and so probably won't be very widely available.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
i live in australia. You're correct, they are made in korea, but I guess they could have had some imported, or they could just be cheap knockoffs :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] newsgroupmonkey:
You should see these Koreans - they're flooding fleabay!

Nearly all the cases I've seen so far have come from either Korea or Hong Kong.

I wouldn't be surprised if the local case-sellers on your markets and shops are simply buying them in bulk.

If someone can tell me how to do this in the UK and avoid customs, I'd be intrigued to know.

Really liking the looks of those mesh cases. Anyone know if there's any similar/being made without the tv-out cut-out?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] newsgroupmonkey:
tv-out cutout?

I think you're confusing it with the cut-out for the speaker.

We're talking about the hole on the back?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Piny12:
No he means the cutout for the digital-tv antenna, that is built in the korean version of the Galaxy S.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] newsgroupmonkey:
Interesting. Where does this cut-out appear?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] steffe.jst:
On the upper right edge, just behind the chrome bevel. You can see it if you look closely around the camera on the 4th picture of the green mesh case posted above.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] newsgroupmonkey:
Very interesting indeed then.

My Korean made hard case has one of the posts in exactly this position so it would be no good for a Korean SGS!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
The Latin American version of the SGS also has Digital TV like the Korean model

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
the aluminium case will look bulky and lame xD like the rest of their aluminium cases. Their leather ones are much much better.. really high quality.

Btw, does anyone know if magnets will affect the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
the zenus cases are awesome! but 0.48kg??! Thats 4 times as heavy as the actual phone itself.. that'll be holiding half a kilo to ur ear.. really heavy and not very practical.

Edit: Nevermind, I was overexcited and forgot to account for all the extra stuff that comes in the package. the 0.48kg is the package weight (all contents inside) itself.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] vatk:

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] OrionTC:
have you decided to buy any of the cases yet? i might be interested in one of the silicone cases....im guessing you need to be a korean citizen or something to use that store?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
I am thinking of purchasing the orange black folder case. I think its possible to purchase despite not being a korean citizen, since they have an english store and they ship internationally.

I'll try and purchase it tomorrow and keep you guys updated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
okay, after a long process involving translators and reading comments, I have finally completed the purchase for the orange and black zenucase. I am in australia, and shipping fee costs around $10.

Will keep you guys updated.

Also, the process I went through was:

1. go to the link that was provided in an earlier post.

2. register (takes a second, only email and name/account name req) (use internet explorer, as thats the only browser I found that works with this site)

3. sign in and go back to the link

4. With the two drop down boxes (under Domestic Orders - use google chrome to translate, whilst using internet explorer to fill in the details)

4.1: with the two drop down boxes, select the option with the "1-" at the start, if u want the orange and black case (found this out through the comment/recent purchase). I'm not quite sure what to select if you want another colour

4.2: select none for the second drop down

5. click add to cart

6. verify your purchase with a translator

7. fill in shipping details

8. pay

Note: Use internet explorer at all times during the purchase process.

Hope that helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kenny326:
Good luck with that :)

And no, I'm not a Korean citizen, but I have purchased things from Gmarket before. The delivery cost can be a lot sometimes (to the UK) so I thought if we all bulk buy at once (would be a lot cheaper) we can share the delivery cost or something.

Though of course I wouldn't collect the money first (seeing as there might be a trust issue), I'd pay for all of it first and put it up on ebay or something.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
thank you :D

ironically, I havent even purchased my i9000 yet LOL!

I should be purchasing it tomorrow, doesn't look like any good phones are on the horizon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:

it also has the 360 swivel belt hook
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] djglenn1337:
Is there any slim leather cases that don't have any belt clips? Just an open top one...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] djglenn1337:
Lol, yes a pouch. I would say I have bad english but it is my first language....I am guessing an iphone3 pouch will be a similar size
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
there are vertical leather pouch cases available from noreve and PDair. Noreve is more expensive, but looks to b better quality. I've got the PDair 1 and it looks a bit poor quality, the stitching isnt very good (i've owned a PDair leather case before and it was superb, bit disappointed by this one)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] djglenn1337:
Thanks I will have a look at the noreve pouches

My black mesh case arrived to today (£~7 delivered:)) and looks very nice.

Would deffo recommend it to others

Pros:

- Looks good (gold galaxy s logo on back is very nice)

- Fits well/cut outs in right place

- Not bulky

- Screen protectors included

- Doesn't seem to attract dust link some other (silicone) cases do

Cons:

- Not as much protection as some other cases (but that's fairly obvious from the pics)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
i suggest this type instead, i love it!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] fablife:
I just picked up this case from wireless wave (also available at Best Buy). The Leather is butter soft! fits the SGS very well - I think I will even have enough room in there what I get my mesh backing from Korea :) We'll see...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
the one i'm using it's a perfect fit, even if i put in a mesh case, or silicone case to it.

does that one in your picture have the 360 belt clip?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] fablife:
No - belt clip is standard (but very strong). I find the swivel clips tend to break over-time with me.

Zenus white is perfect
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Zvenn:
Been using the black and orange Zenus leather case now for about two weeks - it seems like it's very durable. It's easy to flip the cover around if you dont want to leave it hanging.

It still looks new apart from two upper corners have had some orange colour brushed off (barely noticable though).

It's also fallen to the floor twice and the case absorbed the impact very nicely.

Took about a 8-9 days from payment to delivery from South Korea to Norway.

Now that is a sweet case!
