ah wow, finally a case that you recommend that i actually like, this one seems to be build good enough and well prepared to prevent accidental drops

too bad it only comes in those 2 colours

i'll pick blue+black, or green+black, or any other colour + black

but pink + black... erhh... uhmm... no thanks.... chicks will dig that one for sure, not guys though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] liorbialik:
But from the looks of it it does look like it covers the bazel

I know what you mean but the buttons on the case looks like they're carved in and not just a thick silicone buttons over the phones buttons
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MasK:
The reviews ya guys gave for those mesh cases made me all excited!

I ordered a white one yesterday. Hope to get it within this week :)

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260650335509&vti=COLOR	WHITE

Cheapest imho..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
white is okay...

i'll prefer the green, pink, red

white and black are so boring :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MasK:
Well, to me, black is boring. Red and pink are feminine and green doesn't suit me. I'd take orange or blue anytime, but they don't have it. It's strange that they have 2 shades of red, but left out blue :confused:

Anyways.. I can see why white is boring to ya.. while pissing on apple :D:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jodeltje:
I ordered one, will report back as soon as I receive it. too bad the shipping can take 3 weeks :( ... just hope the phone survives that long (already dropped it several times casing quite a few dents).
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] steffe.jst:
Recommending would imply that I had actually bought either of the cases and given feedback, I've done no such thing :p

This is true. Still, looks can be deceiving.

*cheer*.

Also, be more careful with your phone man! Every time you drop an Android God kills a kitten, it's true story.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
if that is the goal, i totally agree with you, white is perfect :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Croak:
They're not bad at all if your goal is to disguise the chromey iPhone-itude of the device, provide a better grip and still keep the device on the slim side.

And they do serve to protect the ultra-cheap Samsung plastic from wearing, with the bonus of some cosmetic drop protection.

Anyway, I'm done with Otterbox Commuter style cases. If I wanted to carry a brick I could have kept my Milestone, or bought a Nokia. :)

I'd order one of those SGP's right now if they were in stock.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] NovemberEcho91:
I've been looking around for a nice leather case for the past month or so since i got my phone, the only problem is that the only cases I've come across, either only cover the back, or are too thick defeating the purpose of getting such a slim phone.

has anyone seen anything like this/got any suggestions or will i just have to make it myself?

cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] FITRS:
Got my case from GMarket.

This case is essentially the same as the mesh cases you've seen before without the holes.

It's a hard case with gloss finish which the phone snaps in to. No cushioning damage more a back & side scratch protector.

Pros:

* Slim

* Easy access to volume rocker & power button

* Sides are flush with screen enabling smooth swiping of the screen

Cons:

* No cushioning for extra drop protection
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
got a link to buy it?? looks really good!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
ohhh wow! that case above looks really really good and elegant, i like it :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
for those of you who want a kickstand on the case, this might be for you.. its no. 3 on the list:

http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challe...00001&pos_class_kind=T&keyword_order=galaxy+S

also looks like there might be some sort of gadget that enables more higher voltage charging or something, prob makes for shorter charge times :O

This case listing has one that has a plug for the headphone jack:

http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challe...00001&pos_class_kind=T&keyword_order=galaxy+S
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
OMG!, those standing case are so easy to make

i can easily add on a strap to my existing case and make it a self standing case

thanks for the idea !
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] pharaohdk:
damns thats one awesome looking thing, could you link to the gmarket add?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] FITRS:
Here you go.

http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=189825497

They have a few colours. I almost bought the white one but thought I don't want the phone to stand out too much. I sorta wish I did! I had a baby blue phone Samsung 707SC before and almost got the baby blue cover as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
which case is that? I don't see it in the listing.. wot colour is it?? Is it one colour only?? Because I thought it was black and chrome on yours.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
we can't use that site

at least i can't

it's all in Korean, and you are supposed to choose what you want to buy through that drop down menu selection box, which are all labeled in Korean.

it'll help if they had an English site.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Jaimizzle:
I searched this thread and didnt find any mention of the body glove case...which i think is pretty neat....grippy rack cover and nice chrome front (plastic)....its nice tho...i havent dropped it yet...so i wouldnt know how it could withstand a drop
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
i've not seen a body glove design yet, i doubt there is any out in the market yet
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] liorbialik:
ordered case-mates tough case... should arrive in a few weeks. when ill get it ill post my impressions
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MasK:
That is nice and elegant indeed. But I wouldn't wanna cover a glossy surface with another glossy surface :p

Anyway, all these cases do help in accessing the side buttons right? Coz for me, it takes a while for me to figure out where my power button is! That pisses me off. I'm still on a search for a widget which will allow me to put the phone into standby just by touching it....
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Croak:
I picked one up at a T-Mobile store yesterday in the US, for their version of the Vibrant. Fits well, is durable with rubber on the rear covering heavy plastic, but is THICK.

Literally doubles the thickness of the phone, and nearly doubles the weight, and the chrome front is much more chrome and much less shadow than the stock bezel chrome. Just not good in the hand, but pretty good for protection.

Also comes with one of those pop-out belt clips. With the belt clip on, it doubles as a kickstand.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
post some pictures plz

as no one has linked anything online from body glove

it'll be interesting to see it.

i had body glove in the past for my Treos

they are really nice, but yes, they are usually thick and bouncy, great protection, if you don't mind the thickness
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Croak:
One of the T-Mobile XDA guys took some good shots:

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] FloridaK:
Just got a Case Mate Barely There. Great fit, adds a little weight / bulk to the phone, nice rubbery feel to it. An added bonus is that a number of times when using the phone one handed, I've tried to press the power button and due to the slimness of it, its nearly squirmed out of my hand, this case seems to have sorted that problem out.

Overall, very pleased with it, its not going to offer much, if any protection if its dropped, but I don't intend to drop the phone (again).

One downside to it, with the case on, the phone wont fit in the Brodit car holder. It is however, fairly easy to remove (once you get the hang of it), so its not too much of a problem.

No pictures at the moment, if people are interested in them I'll try and take a couple when I get home tonight / tomorrow.

Florida.

Found a very good alternative to the Gelaskins that were recommended earlier in the thread:

http://www.smirkabout.com/devices/phones/samsung/i9000.html

Not purchased from them yet but they seem legit.

Some nice designs and very good pricing too, I'm pretty sure you're not restricted to the skins on that page either, if you browse the entire collection you should be able to select any skin on the site and apply it to the Galaxy S.

*313er*

Rawat is somewhere around here too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] FITRS:
Yeah, it takes a bit of effort to order from GMarket since it's not fully translated.

But you can run the page through google translate and it will tell you which is what from the drop down menu. You have to keep two windows open, one in [Korean/English] the other in [Google/English].

Make the order from the [Korean/English] window. Use the [Google/English] page as a point of reference.

For example: IStyle sell similar if not better hard shell cases like the DPlus one I bought and you can see the Google/English page here. You see the drop downs are in english: [Google/English]

http://translate.google.com.au/tran...?goodscode=191707155&sl=ko&tl=en&hl=&ie=UTF-8

Original page is: [Korean/English]

http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=191707155

As a quick reference you can see the Samsung Galaxy S ones here:

Galaxy S Super Slim - Green <= Green

Galaxy S Super Slim - Behold <= No idea?? No matching hangul characters

Galaxy S Super Slim - Black <= Black

Galaxy S Super Slim - Jinparang <= Blue (the darker one, not the lighter blue)

Galaxy S Super Slim - hatpingkeu <= Hot Pink

Galaxy S Super Slim - White <= White

For my case

1. [Korean/English]

http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=189825497

2. [Google/English]

http://translate.google.com.au/tran...lenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=189825497

The same DPlus hard cases are:

You can scan across the row and select the correct one from that picture.

My one was the "High Glossy/Piano Black" or the 6th one down from the MCS (W2,600) reference point.

So it's a little tricky, but still doable.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:

those were already listed in the first few pages

too expensive by the way, there are listings of the same cases with cheaper rates
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] thundergust:
Which case is thinner, the SGP Ultra Silke (silicone) or the SGP Ultra Capsule (TPU)?

Does the TPU supposedly have better shock absorption than silicone?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
none of those 2

the thinest of them all yet offering some level of protection are the Korean hybrid mesh cases, which is a mix of silicon + plastic so it's flex but yet hard.

best of all it loooks really really good on the phone, all the holes are in perfect sync

once on the phone it looks like the phone as if it came from factory with that

that's how well it sticks to the phone.

there are pics posted few pages ago
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] dakine:
I have the sgp ultra silk and its really nice it adds very little bulk to the phone, is not sticky and just seems really well designed.Looks nicer than the plastic hole cases imo. I think i will also try the hybrid case someone posted earlier. The ones that have a hard plastic shell on the inside but are covered with rubber on the outside. Sounds like the best of both worlds.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] steffe.jst:
Any comments regarding using the hardware buttons with the Silke case? T'is the only thing holding be back right now :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] zeusalmighty:
Anyone managed to find the iStyle cases available in europe?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] frozen199:
I just received my Case Mate Tough case in black for my SGS. My first impressions are that it definitely improves the phones grip and doesn't add too much in weight and thickness. Very well made with precision cutting, no gaps where dust could build up. The case is made up of two bits one a cheap silicone which has impressions for both volume and lock screen buttons but attracts dust a little. The second bit is a tough plastic which clips onto the silicone with cut outs for the buttons.

The screen protector provided is first class and was really easy to apply with no bubbles/dust at all. All tools like micro fibre cloth and thick card is provided to make application easy. Screen is very responsive but there is slight friction when using Swype.

Overall I am very happy with my choice and I'm sure I'll use this case for its entire lifetime.

I paid £25 pounds from Amazon UK (ModernTech Marketplace seller). Play has this listed for £15 preorder due in mid Sept.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] woodpaul:
Wow, that looks really great! Just like a Batman-phone! :D

frozen199:

Could you measure the exact thickness of the Case-Mate Tough Case? After installing the screen protector isn't the display less brigh than used to be?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
LOL :D the rubber type cases sure makes it look more tough to break.

it might be a downside as you might think the phone is indestructible with the case on :p

i'll pick another colour, black on black is a bit boring.

at least a red or blue or orange, anything but black or white
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] furstrated:
looks smashing, i think i'll wait for when casemate will have the mix and match available, like those they have for the other phones like the N1. various colors of the plastic part and various colors of the silicon part you can choose for order. but then again when the became available, you can get the plastic part only or the silicon part only for added color to your existing case. hmmm i might order one too, right now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] pure_energy1:
I just went ahead and purchased a Case Mate Tough case from ModernTech on Ebay, it was listed at GBP 24.95 or best offer.. I offered GBP 19.00 which was immediately accepted. Shipping from the UK was only GBP 2.95.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110571672858

Can't wait to get it. Judging from all the cases I've seen in this thread, I believe this one is the best in my eyes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] frozen199:
The thickness of the case with phone is 17mm (+-1mm).Therefore 6mm has been added to the original phones thickness.

The screen protector isn't affecting the brightness of the screen at all. If your going by my photo, the reason for the poor brightness is that I always have my brightness at its lowest setting and the flash of the camera reflected on the screen even though I put my finger in front of the flash.

In fact the screen looks amazing with the screen protector on (reduces glare).
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] woodpaul:
Thanks for the answer! :)

I think I'll wait for the case at play.com for 15 pounds.

Received my rubberized hard back case cover today. Link to ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220648466428. It fits perfectly. Its surface is oil-finished so it is not slippery but not sticky aswell. It comes out of pocket easily and stays in hand better. I can send some photos if you like.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] daijirok:
here is my new gel/tpu/silicrylic clear case, ordered on ebay for 6€ shipping included from UK. I have not seen any pic around here so i decided to take some, just for you guys who want to buy one of these. Short review:

pros:

-very cheap

-looks greate, very discreet

-dramatically increments grip

-good shock absorption

-has a little bump so you can put the phone face-down without it to touch the table

cons:

-holes cuts not perfectly simmetrical

-volume and power buttons very hard to push, maybe a little etch on the interested part of the case can reduce the resistance.

I love it, I'm going to buy one more in a different color.

And now the pics.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
i have the same one in black

but i did not find the problem with the volume/power buttons

it works fine for me, as in the case doesn't get in my way.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sareen:
Hey could you please I would be absolutely grateful
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] milkaa13:
Hello, thank you for your review. Does your case-mate leave any scratches on the sides of your galaxy when u remove it? Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
Here are the photos of my new case mentioned on a earlier post. Sorry about the missing display but it's a WIP. You can follow progress in i9000 accessories forum and topic i9000 screen replacement..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] frozen199:
No it does not leave scratches on the phone. The material in contact with the phone is soft silicone, therefore there is no chance of it scratching the phone. The hard abs plastic clips onto the silicone to make the phone hard/rigid and nice to grip. Without the plastic the silicone case will behave like any other cheap silicone case that attracts dust. It is the plastic shell that clips on, that acts as an outer shell to improve the cases characteristics. Overall I feel this case is probably the best out there at the moment for the Galaxy I9000.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sareen:
hey thanks so u would highly recommend for people to buy it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
It fits my hand perfectly but this is my first phone to which I've ever bought this kind of casing. I can't compare with any other model. I recommend this for everyone for sure but I think it's up to the buyer who decides is it good for himself.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hihihehe:
i just bought it and waiting for delivery after saw your picture..the casing looks like my previous casing for iphone..

how long the buyer will post the item after you paid?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
From pressing buy in ebay to deliver to my home in Finland took 8 days. Seller posted it next day after payment but I bought it at night.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Qazz~:
Use google translate and translate the whole web page from korean to english, from there you can select your case via the drop down menu, however if it you are under the google translate page it will respond with an error when you try to select anything, a workaround is to have two of the same pages open at the same time, and select the case from the webpage that has not been translated

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] All Day On XDA:
Is anyone aware of any book style cases - namely a horizontally opening case?

I received it today... 4 business days from my order, all the way to Canada from the UK.

I'm very happy with my case and screen protector. Definately recommend it, and that ebay seller!

One small issue however:

Upon applying the screen protector, I noticed that there was a dust particle trapped under the protector film, thus not allowing me to get a bubble out.

Is there any way to clean or remove that dust particle without damaging the protector? Can I use water?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jodeltje:
I wouldn't reccomend using water, can cause the protector to have a washed out effect. Just use a toothpick preferrebly a plastic one which you press on the edge of the protector... it then snaps under it and you can use it to move the particle out under the protector... good luck

EDIT: I feel kinda retarded being so hasty and ordering my tough case directly from case mate... which is way more expensive and takes 4 weeks to arrive :/
