My Zenus leather case has finally arrived, picking it up from the post office tomorrow.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sck_2000in:
I got the orange and black zenus leather case today , its really nice to use . Putting the phone inside the case is not a problem , but taking it out of the case is a pain . Can anybody confirm this or am I doing something wrong ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Tachikoma_kun:
I will let you know tomorrow lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
my cases haven't arrive yet >.< :mad: and i ordered almost a whole week ago, since my message i posted that i ordered those 3 cases
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] DarkVasyaK:
has someone bought Silicone Gel Case (Galaxy S Dot Matrix Design) ?

I need to look at some photos ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] j_h3000:
how exactly r u taking it off ?? r u just pulling it ?

u should slide it to top and it comes out real easy ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jblade1000:
Just got mine today, they are really nice !i got one bar type and one silicone one.I'll post more when I take pictures with my actual camera

Sent from my Samsung Vibrant with Swype!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sck_2000in:
@j_h3000 , I am sliding (pushing) the phone from the bottom and bringing it to the top of the case , still I find it difficult . Its just impossible to pull it straight off.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
be patient, my cases hardly ever arrrive within the first week. my zenus case took almost 3 weeks to come.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jblade1000:
I must say I'm extremely pleased with the quality of my zenus cases. very nice quality. the leather bar one is on par with my PDAir cases i had for my touchpro2 (i like leather cases lol). I love the blue stitching and accents a lot. fitment is phenominal, its nice and snug.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jblade1000:
I also love this silicone case as well. Very thin and grippy, all the buttons still work, meaning fitment is spot on
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] succube:
Just got my zenus case today from ebay. Fits perfect and the screen protector seems ok to me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Tachikoma_kun:
Dissapointed by my Zenus case, the one front edge sits higher than the other so the front panel doesn't fit snug, and there's some rough edges to the leather, the back orange section for the camera isn't level at all. Flipping the front panel to the back during a call (rather than having it flap around your chin) seems to seriously affect the reception as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] dakine:
I like my Zenus folders, fits great and looks really nice. Also have the sgp silicone case it's its great too, really smooth doesn't pick up lint. I used SGP ultra Crystal screen protectors and they are awesome. Easy to apply, very clear, smooth and prints wipe off easy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ZAnwar:
Where is everybody ordering the leather Zenus cases from?

And did you get a free screen protector and lanyard? Some don't give them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
i got mine from gmarket from a seller called "zenuscase". My case is perfect and comes with 2 free screen protectors and a lanyard (which is too small and i can't fit my hand through it), although it looks like a wrist strap, i'm beginning to think its just a lanyard with their website on it. If it was a tad wee bit longer, it would be awesome as a wrist strap.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] larryccf:
got mine from seller on ebay - do a search for zenus cases - don't know why, but he ran his words together in the title of his listings so they don't show up in samsung vibrant, samsung galaxy S i9000 searches (etc)

he is out of korea and it took 17 days to get here (east coast USA)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] axjiii:
Anybody got any pictures of red/black Zenus flip type?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AXIS of Reality:
Today I got the 'Extreme' gel case all Optus stores in Australia are stocking for the Galaxy S (seems to vary between $14.95 and $19.95 depending on the Optus store, strangely enough).

For any aussies, I think it's the only Galaxy S case they carry.

It's a gel skin one, so fits similar to a silicone case covering the sides and back but leaves the screen free. The only colour it's sold in is frosted white (semi-transparent).

PROS:

+ Hardened gel style, so firmer than silicone

+ Doesn't collect dust

+ Perfect fit, so phone doesn't move at all and there's no lifting around the screen

+ Covers all the buttons so you just press the raised bumps to use them

+ Has all the holes needed for headphones, USB, camera, etc

CONS:

- Frosted white colour doesn't suit the look of the phone in my opinion

- Very thick so it makes the phone feel a lot bigger and chunkier

- Makes the edges appear more rounded, so it looks even more like an old iPhone

- Much harder to press the covered buttons since the material is fairly hard

- The outside is glossy and just as slippery as the phone's own plastic!

- the circular hole for the headphone jack is about the same size as the jack itself, so combined with the thick plastic any headphones that have wider plastic/rubber on the jack part may not be able to be pushed in all the way

Kind of 'meh' about it overall. Good fit, but too thick, slippery and the frosted white isn't very attractive.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] cheetah2k:
I got the darker Extreme case on Friday night in brisbane. I disagree that it makes the phone slippery or chunky

My only gripe is that it makes it hard to volume up/down and press the on/off button....
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AXIS of Reality:
There's a darker one?! I went to the upper Queen St Mall store and the Chermside one, and they both said there was only a frosted white one. =(

Mine is pretty slippery though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] bogeyface:
I've gotten through 3 cases so far. The first was a cheapo silicon case from Amazon - £3 or so. Decent enough, but a bit cheap looking and a dust magnet.

Next up, I went for the PDAir book style case. A hefty leather affair which, although it fits the SGS well, it feels far too cumbersome for everyday use. I like it and will probably get some use out of it but I can't help but feel I may have wasted my money.

This morning, a Zenus silicon case arrived. Wow - love it to bits. It hugs the phone extremely tightly, feels great in my hand and looks lovely. The cutouts and detail are milimetre perfect and the whole thing feels very professional. Plus, the free screen protector is streets ahead of the ones I picked up on eBay - it's tactile, responsive and washable (handy if, like me, you're crap at fitting them - just give it a soak and try again).
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
Hi guys,

I just received my new SGS case today, the one with the holes pattern on the back. Overall I'd have to say, its pretty good. Its quality is excellent and it feels sort of rubbery, probably easier to grip than the standard plastic. It's very thin, so I wouldn't recommend it if you plan on throwing the phone around or being rough with it. It covers most of the phone, except for the bottom and the top.

As I mentioned before, I would say it's more of a fashion accessory than an actual practical case. You can combine it with a phone sock or a pouch case for better protection =)

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, if you purchase it off ebay from a guy called "shimshop", you also get a free face mask (for your face, as in you put it on your face). Most peculiar gift i ever got with an item :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
OMG! i can't wait for mine to arrive, i got the red one :D i think it looks better in RED.

but both RED and Black looks very elegant combined with the SGS
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] nicoloco:
I just received the Zenus silicone case in black

I must confess I am a little bit disappointed when I compare to the rubber case my colleague has .... but I knew it was a silicone case so no problem.

The case fits the samsung very well. The hole for the speaker, the camera, the mic,plugs ... are perfectly located. Maybe the usb plug could have been a little bit better located ...

It's quite tight and very thin

There is no problem to press the volume button. I have some difficulties for the power button but I guess I 'll get use to it.

I didn;t see that there was a free screen protector .. .I will be able to compare to the cheap one I just received too :D

Overall i pretty happy with it even if I may look for a rubbery case later
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
I've used TPU cases in the past, and was wondering if i should get one for my SGS. I only see cheapo looking ones on ebay that look at bit chunky.

Has anyone got one they can comment on?? Or know of any good ones out there?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] nicoloco:
Quick feedback on this case ... the hole for the usb plug is not that good actually

When you plug the usb it's always squeezing the case.

And I forgot how this kind of silicone case was full of dust in no time

I like the touch and feel of this ... much better than the cheap ebay like silicone case I had for my diamond
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Necrolust:
So, what would be the thinnest case one could buy?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] leoon:
So does this mean that this case will always have dust on it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
I would probably say a decent silicone case or the mesh case (one with holes). Theyre the ones i've seen that are thin. the mesh case is only about 1mm thick.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Frizzly:
The High Gro T skin (scroll down)

english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=189846437&pos_shop_cd=EN&pos_class_cd=90000001&pos_class_kind=T&keyword_order=galaxy+s+case

seems to be very good.

Also take a look on the SGP cases, i found many positive reviews for this company:

english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=190851425&pos_shop_cd=EN&pos_class_cd=90000001&pos_class_kind=T

I ordered the Silicon (Silke) case from SGP - i hate wating. Here a review in realation with an iphone: youtube.com/watch?v=yBznSZETFlo&feature=related
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
Thnx for the great links Frizzly, but I would prefer to purchase off ebay instead, as it takes 5 minutes. Whilst on Gmarket, it takes over an hour lol. I'll hve a look on ebay to see if i can find the High Gro T TPU cases =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Frizzly:
Yes, it's not easy to order on gmarket.^^
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
I totally Agree! But I just completed my purchase of the High Gro T Black TPU case =) eres hoping that it arrives next week =)

cheers again!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Necrolust:
Ta.

I'm gonna order the SGP one as it looks thin also, and reasonably high quality. Along with a Zenus leather one :)

Now to figure out how the hell gmarket works...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Necrolust:
So I've apparently ordered 2 SGP cases, haha. Lets see what happens.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] KamaL:
Hello

I'm interested in a minimalistic plastic cover for the galaxy S, and I really like my Switcheasy Nude for the Iphone i have:

http://www.switcheasy.com/products/NUDE/NUDE.php

It's very think, and even though it surely doesn't protect the phone completely, it is really thin and it is barely noticed, which is just what i need.

What is the closest case to this one? Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Necrolust:
The one that I ordered, ^^^ at the top of the page (SGP ultra capsule, I can't re-post the link because I am new) seems to be close to that Nude one. The Nude says its 0.8mm thick while the SGP one looks to be about 1 or 1.2mm.

I can let you know how thick it actually is and how good the case is when it arrives
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] exstarosta:
It would be great if you could post some pics as well. Cheers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Eienkei:
Any good cases like Griffin Technology cases for iPhone? Need something which protects all parts & don't feel cheap!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Frizzly:
My SGP Ultra Silke case arrived today.

I'm impressed!

- It looks exactly like on the Pictures on gmarket (I should have bought the blue one, too -_-)!

- It is very thin; it doesn't bother in anyway.

- It fits perfectly! Even the hole at the bottom fits perfectly.

- It doens't attract dust.

- It feels a bit more grippy, but not too grippy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Eienkei:
Any other place to buy SGP cases? GMarket won't ship to my country!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
ebay ships every where
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
OMG! so funny, it came with mine too LOL! :p

i gave it to my wife, and she was like WTH is this? i'm not putting that on my face (after reading the description) "it sounds deadly for my face"
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] alfy!:
Those people that got those mesh cases, what is the material like? Is it silicon? And do they attract dust like the Zenus cases?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
its plastic.. although different feel to the backcover of the SGS. Its quite nice. Feels solid, and sort of provides a grip. It doesnt attract dust at all. =) highly recommend it
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] KamaL:
I agree :) I still couldn't figure out how !

Did you find another place to order from? any ebay seller?

BTW - does it come with a screen protector?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] furstrated:
no pics, not true heheheh
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Eienkei:
Any SGP cases on eBay? Couldn't find any!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
does not attract dust, it's great!

you can see the pictures posted by the other guy

it comes with 2 nice metal stickers Gold/Silver saying "Galaxy S"

i got the RED one, it's awesome

material is like a hardened silicon (30% silicon\70% plastic), it does protect the phone in a limited fashion (hand height drops)

but if you want real protection i'll suggest the other (50% plastic \ 50% silicon) case, those are still bouncy, but does not attract dust, those will protect the phone better from a higher drop zone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
nope, i couldnt find any on ebay.. thats why i bought it off gmarket.

but if you've bought something from gmarket before, its actually quite easy.. only hard part is figuring out which selection to make, because the listing is usually 5 different types of cases lol, so you have to make your selection (which is in korean). after that, it'll take you through the payment process and all your details should automatically be filled in, so all you gotta do is pay.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hnr2802:
post a picture review pls..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Frizzly:
Here some images.

Don't be scared of the rare dust particles -my camera shows details that i can't see with my eyes.

The only disadvantage I found is that you have to push the on/off button a bit harder.

that's the standard black silicon case
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] DarkVasyaK:
where is it possible to but Samsung Galaxy S back covers in London or in Washington? (no ebay or something like that)

I really liked this one http://phantomskinz.com/samsunggalaxysi9000chromatics.aspx
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Frizzly:
Yes, the SGP Silke.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Necrolust:
My SGP Ultra Capsule should be arriving tomorrow according to the tracking info, as its already reached the airport.

Will post pics and general impression of the case shortly after.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kinder__bueno:
I´ve ordered 2 covers as well ( at least i think so):D

Does anyone know the ETA of this? in Europe?

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Highl1:
anyone got some interesting carrying pouches? I don't like cases :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kempas:
A thought just struck me... how do the dimensions of a Galaxy S compare to those of an external 2.5" drive enclosure? - I have an aluminium external drive sitting in front of me and it would make a super strong basis of a custom 'slip' case...

Would need to have a soft liner but a standard soft pouch inside the shell would do, just push it up from the bottom to get the phone out... Any thoughts?

7x Silicone TPU Gel Case Skin Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S

hi every1 check this out 7 cases for $18 i know is for the vibrant but ive been lookin around the vibrant xda site and loads of them have bought tht sgs i9000 cases and it work for them and i spoke to some1 and they said this should work for us and what a bargin

http://cgi.ebay.com/1x-TPU-Gel-Soft..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3f01b26e49
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AXIS of Reality:
I've got the black version of the hard mesh Galaxy S case here: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/New-Samsung-Galaxy-S-I9000-Mesh-Cases-4-Colors-Colours-/320562012518

I actually managed to get it cheaper at a phone accessory kiosk in a shopping centre here ($18 AUD). As a guide, I saw in the Apple store today there were almost identical iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch versions made by 'in-case' selling for $45 AUD and using horrible glossy plastic instead of the soft-touch stuff used here.

I MUCH prefer it to the gel / rubbery skin cases.

PROS:

+ It looks really REALLY good, and takes away a lot of the 'iPhone-a-like' appearance.

+ Keeps the phone very thin, doesn't feel much thicker than without.

+ Matte and mesh means no fingerprints or smudges, and feels like the soft-touch plastic used on the back of HTC's phones such as the Desire.

+ Fits flawlessly, holes for everything are lined up perfectly.

+ Phone doesn't shift or move in it, yet still easy to get off if needed.

+ Provides more grip than without.

+ Since it has holes for the buttons instead of most gel / silicone cases covering them with bumps it's much easier to use the power and volume buttons.

+ Does not feel or seem 'cheap' like most Chinese eBay accessories. These appear to be Korean-made instead.

CONS:

- Doesn't protect the screen obviously

- Asymmetrical at the top due to the hole for the Korean version's DTV antenna.

- More expensive than the gel cases, but worth it in my opinion.

- Only comes in black, red, green or pink, all of which look great but I would have loved blue, orange or brown ones like the gel cases are offered in.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MacGuy2006:
What's with the gold badge at the back? It looks shiny, like a gold tooth....
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
its a sticker that makes it look bling =D theres also a silver 1 that comes with it if u dun like the gold. but gold to me looks classier, and more "high quality".
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] storm45:
i ordered the flexisheild skin from mobilefun .co .uk today.

Should come soon, and will write a quick review up once it does.

PS. i have the martin fields screen protector and i can already see a few scratches :( as far as i know, i have not done anything that would cause a scratch to appear.... ah well... what can you do, i will try some other screen protector i guess.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Necrolust:
Got my SGP Ultra Capsule today. It also came with a Steinheil Ultra Crystal screen protector that I have fitted also :)

Will post pics and my impressions of the case later on tonight when I get back from uni.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
I just received my high gro T case from Gmarket today. Overall, i'm quite happy with it. It feels really good in the hand and it provides a nice grip for the phone. it's also very thin, so it adds hardly any bulk to the phone.

the cutouts are all perfect for the headphone jack, the usb port, and the microphone. However, there are no cutouts for the volume rocker or the power button, but there is those "raised" parts that enables you to still press them. A tad bit trickier to press than normal, but it's still alright.

Pros:

-Almost everything

Cons:

-iStyle branding on the back (i know it's the company and I saw it before i bought it, but it kinda reminds me of iphones, which i don't like lol) At least it's got their logo and it looks alright.

It also comes with a free screen protector too, as well as a decent box/package that's presented nicely.

Rating: 9.5/10 (Would have preferred a better way to access the volume/power buttons)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Necrolust:
^^^ Wow, very similar.

Here is my SGP Ultra Capsule.

Its very thin and very comfortable to use. The included screen protector is on atm but I think I'm going to remove it as it feels funny under my thumb, I much prefer just the glass. I can see how the gloss finish might not be for everyone, but I personally like it.

The holes are all perfectly aligned and it includes cut-outs for all of the buttons on the phone.

It also came with a micro fibre cloth :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] DarkVasyaK:
Possible to buy in some offline shops in the USA?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
it will cost you 3 times the price, in a retail store

what's wrong with just buying it off ebay?

it only took about 7 days to arrive, i was surprised it got here so quickly
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] miker71:
i finally caved in and ordered the understated "black lizard" version of this case. no idea how long it will take to arrive from korea, if at all ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] FITRS:
Thank you for posting the pics for the SGP Ultra Capsule.

That was the one I was keen on the most. Did you buy off GMarket.. How much was it in total if I may ask? And how long did it take to arrive.

Do you find it attracts dust, I notice the iStyle (above your pics) one does a little bit.

My other choice is the mesh style since I like it so it doesn't cover the edges. I'm currently using a cheap silicone one and every time I swipe to unlock the screen my finger catches on the edge. The mesh ones don't cover the edge. But the Ultra Capsule does.. even only a small amount. But in reality, it also offers more protection.

Is the screen cover clear or does it change the display so it becomes pixelated and what of oil marks?

I like these both in particular because the holes on the side make it easier to press the volume rocker and power button.

Cheers!

Oh some more cases, these ones are designer cases:

english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=189563307

Of which this one looks good to me... similar shape design to the mesh one, but full plastic/rubber cover

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mrassol:
I ordered one on ebay on 27 of july and received it today ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Piny12:
Could you please upload some pics of it on your SGS? Would be nice :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] daijirok:
I don't know if already posted, but here's a video for the "bejeweled" effect silicone case

youtube.com/watch?v=Fznge5bOssE
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Necrolust:
Yup I ordered off GMarket and it was about $50NZ, thats for 2 cases and shipping. I ordered them on a thursday and they arrived at my house on tuesday.

It attracts pretty much zero dust, which is nice!

The screen protector isn't that good, it doesn't pixelate the screen or anything, but it changes the colours very slightly and the oil marks are BAD. I assume that if you pay extra for one of the 5 different kinds of screen protectors you can get when you buy them off GMarket they won't be as bad (they have a "fingerprint free" version). Due to these factors I am going to take it off. Pretty sure the glass is plenty tough to not get scratched ever, from some videos I've seen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
FYI the istyle case doesn't attract dust. It wipes right off, and the reason for the dust was because i placed it a on my table which has a bit of dust on it. Also, the sunlight made it more visible than usual, because normally the "dust" particles, if any, aren't visible at all. I'm pretty sure both the SGP case and the istyle have a very similar material.
