Hey all. Already ordered my Maximum Invisishiled for the SGS and now thinking of what kind of case I should use.

I'm thinking either getting a Touch Case which I would use on its' own or a Barely There + some kind of case / pouch (maybe zenus leather, or a simple pouch).

Any ideas? Is the Touch Case worth it / fits well inside your pocket? No other case needed?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] pure_energy1:
Thanks, I'll give that a try...

Maybe you can cancel your order and order it on ebay instead... ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] pure_energy1:
I called Case-Mate customer support asking if there was a recommended way to remove a dust particle, and they simply said that they'd send me a few extra's for free.

How's that for service!? :)

Case mate for Samsung galaxy i9000 (not vibrant)

Does anybody knows if this case fits the sim free version of SGS, not just the vibrant?

h..p://w..w.case-mate.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-T-Mobile-Vibrant-Cases/Case-Mate-Samsung-Galaxy-S-T-Mobile-Vibrant-Tough-Cases.asp

I mean, it says Vibrant, but is there any difference between the Vibrant and the sim free version of i9000 in terms of mechanics and shape?

hey ALLGAMER! seems you have been through quite a few cases! just wanted to ask you, what do you think is the over all best case...im not really looking for maximum protection, just something to protect the phone against scratches and i dont really like the plasticy glossy back of our phone! after reading this whole thread i narrowed it down to the MESH one you have..or the ORANGE HYBRID HARD BACK CASE...which i also think you have or the barely there case from case mate...does it justify the 20$?! which offers the best protection out of them? any info from you or anyone will be greatly appreciated. oh and pics of the barely there case!

also anyone know the best screen protector i can get?! is the ultra clear steinheil any good?! anything better?! that keeps the screen nice looking!?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] moosamm:
Hi, is there anything out there that will replace the current back cover eg. removing the back cover and putting in a different one with a different style (metal for example).

Tough Case

As soon as I saw the post here about case-mate's case, i checked it out. I've been walking with no case on the phone for only a few weeks, since i got it, but i already managed to drop/almost drop it a couple of times. The case looked really good :)

for those who didnt see the posts regarding this case, its made out of a silicone skin and a hard snap-on. the silicone used as shock absorbent and the hard shell is against impacts and more protection.

Anyway, it just came today (less than 2 week to israel, when they said 3-4 weeks) and i just wanna say its great! the fit is perfect, everything is aligned. it adds a bit of weight to the phone, but in a good way, not bulky or something. the buttons are easy to push and very responsive. no swype interference what so ever. The texture on its back gives the phone a very nice feel and grip, much better than the slippery plastic.

All in all, im very happy and would recommend anyone who want a good protection to the phone.

BTW i got the black/black, which i thought would be boring but looks great. didnt wanna wait for colors (and pink is not my style :P), so if you're patient, they'll probably add more colors...

added some photos (dont have a quality camera).
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] woodpaul:
Congrats! :)

I also ordered mine from Play.com. A few questions came into my mind:

- isn't the silicon part loose at the edges?

- have you installed the protective layer onto screen?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] pure_energy1:
I love mine as well. Couldn't be happier. I'm convinced it's the best case out there.

To answer your questions:

- No, the silicone part is not loose at the edges. In fact, it's very tight and a nice fit along the sides due to the clamping of the plastic shell. The top and bottom can be pushed with your finger, but still offer a great fit.

- I installed the screen protector on mine. Also a quality piece. It came with a little felt cloth to properly clean the screen before application, and even a little squeegee to help apply it. Be very careful when installing it as it's easy to get dust under it, like i did. ;) I called Case-Mate inquiring if it was possible to remove any dust particles, and they instead offered to send me a few screen protectors in the mail, for free! Can't complain about that!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] roymesi:
Lior,

Does this case mate fit the sim free version of SGS, or the vibrant?

Which version do you have?

Where did you buy it from?

Roy
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] liorbialik:
Hey Roy,

I have the sim free, or European version of the SGS, as seen in the photos at my post.

I bought it from case mates sight directly. I think all other places wont sell it cheaper unless its used..

also as you can see in the link, the photos present the I9000 (Euro Version) and not vibrant

Going to give one of these a go:

Had a silicon one but it made the phone quite bulky, if this is no good going back to invisibleshield style films, less protection from drops but looks soo much better. but for £3.75 its worth a punt.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
I had one of these for my old i900 omnia. Except there were no cutouts for the hardware buttons which made them hard to access, but otherwise they're great cases!

Hi all,

Well so far i think the Case-Mate Tough case looks the best to suit my needs just waiting on the thing to get delivered.

But has anyone else seen the cases for sale on E-Bay @£69.99 & £99.99 and they are not custom leather cases either but rubber hybrid cases and IMO they don't even look good I'm just wondering if anyone would even buy them at that price seems crazy to me.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] slay3r85:
Hello, did you get the PDair luxury silicon case? Do you like it?

I want to have a nice grip but not a dust magnet. What about the Case-Mate Tough case?

Is silicon outside the hard shell (buttons, screen border) collecting dust?

Trying to choose between:

Case-Mate Tough case

PDair Luxury Silicone Case

SGP Case ULTRA SILKE

Is there any Blue/black case?

Last resort would be a Blue Mesh Cases but i think there is none. Will probably go with black if all three upthere i dont like.

I am also considering buying the phantomskinz carbon fiber as it give nice grip but im just not sure how to apply it as it appear to be tricky.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] nemethb:
I ordered the SGP Ultra Silke on ebay. It's still through SGP but you save ~$2 on shipping. The case is a beaut. The only problem is it's for the T-Mobile Vibrant variant (T959) so I'll have to make a cut to make it work with my Bell Vibrant (I9000M).
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] n0th1ng:
Why do you need to cut it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] nemethb:
The screen protector is for the T959 which has all touch sensitive buttons and 4 buttons in total. The phone I have is the I9000M which has a physical button in the center and 3 buttons total. Therefore I need to cut a hole for the center button. Mind you I bought the package for the case and not the screen protector. If cutting the screen protector doesn't turn out well then I'll buy some Realook ones like I intended to.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] n0th1ng:
Ah that makes sense. I thought you were going to cut the case :) I had just ordered one and was concerned.

Thanks!

http://cgi.ebay.com/Blue-Shield-Sna...057444?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item483bcedaa4

Here is a blue shield snap on case I just got for a Samsung Vibrant, $8 USD. Fits very well and gives the phone actual hardness and weight, unlike before when I would always worry about squeezing too hard and crushing the phone when trying to power it on. The rubberized coating feels nice. It snaps on very easily and I'm not really sure how it works, but it stays secure. The power button and volume are both easy to push. This would be a better product if the port holes weren't so large and didn't leave any large gaps, like the micro-USB and headphone area. The volume rocker and lanyard hole should be two separate holes, not one big one. The seams where the two pieces snap together could also be made cleaner/smoother as there are small scuffs/imperfections/sharp edges along it, which kind of ruins the quality feel since in contrast, the back is really smooth and clean. However, you won't notice it unless you specifically feel for it and run the tips of your fingers along the seam, so not that big of a deal in normal use. I haven't really taken it out for a spin yet so I'll update if any new revelations come up.

The blue color is far more subdued and nicer looking in person, and the pictures with flash really overblow the color.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] KLoNe1:
That looks really nice - I'm gonna pick up a few cases and change them over periodically :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kg3:
Had a quick look through this thread but still very undecided on what case to get. Not a fan of the silicone / gel cases. I'm after a hard case which is thin, yet provides protection. Any recommendations?

I bought the mesh case (still waiting for it) but sort of regretting it now as it wont provide the protection I am after. Still looking forward to its arrival though.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] pure_energy1:
I can't say enough about the Case Mate Toughcase! It's a 2 part combination silicone and hard external shell. The combination protects against shock and impact! I believe it's just about the most protective case out there, while remaining thin and unobtrusive. It also comes with a die-cut screen protector which is also top notch.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MomijiTMO:
I'm loving my Momax case. Just offer 13USD for auto accept. The screen protector is horrible as it's kind of frosted.... Full retail packaging too.

I've also got a couple of the hard snap on cases everyone loves.

Hi all,

Yet another vote for the Case-Mate Tough Case here mine eventually arrived today after my first one didn't and must say I am very happy with it. Up to now i have always used PDAir leather cases and this is my first case of this kind the screen protector that comes with it is excellent you don't even know its there and has no negative effect on screen viewing or use. The actual two parts of the case fit perfectly nice and tight and still give good access to everything you need and with a slight lip over the screen offers reasonable extra protection for the screen to. Whilst not the cheapest case you are getting what you pay for in the quality of this case and can see it lasting as long as the Galaxy does well I'm happy with it like the others that have said the same.

order from G Market?

How much and how long did it take to arrival?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] katsuru:
Any1 got this case?

I got a couple of Questions, How does the Unlock button feels? Hard to press?

I see the case is in fact a Rubber "case" with some kind of plastic back cover, am i right? Can we use it without the plastic?

How much more thickness does the SGS gets with this case?

When sliding from side to side on the touch screen, does it happen that you "slap" the rubber with your finger? That would annoy the hell out of me.

I want to order one, i am just afraid i will regret my choice.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] silverwolf0:
The name barely-there really is BARELY THERE. It's one small step up from just putting vinyl stickers on the phone. I have the metallic silver and it looks nothing like the pictures. It will provide absolutely no protection for the phone beyond just being something to cover it from scratches.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] iVapor:
Oh, want the most dropping protection i can as i might be a cluts and break my phone by dropping it!! Any other suggestions to cases which provide protection but are still quite slim, might go for the case-mate tough but dont know if that will jst add a bit of bulkiness to a really slim smartphone

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Lawliett:
for those of you who have the Anycall mesh case from Korea, is it thin enough that it can fit into a Zenus case on top? It's more to protect other parts of the phone in case i put it in my bag instead of my pocket
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] natsirt789:
nope, it is not. However, the barely-there cases from Case-mate are quite thin. I can fit my SGS (with the barely-there case) into another leather case/vertical pouch from PDair. Fits, but it's tight. The barely-there cases are the slimmest i've seen.

I'm still looking to buy the alpina androboy case from exportprive, but i'm not sure if its a flip case or its a slide-in pouch type. I'm hoping for the latter.

Does anyone know??

EDIT: I got a reply from export prive today. The alpina androboy is a flip type case, which doesnt appear to have any magnets. They included 7 pictures too in their email.

Please look up on google since i am not allowed to post links or images.

NOTE the phone can go in either way. for maximum protection or easy access, and the clip on the back swivels so you can put the phone on the side for watching videos.

I need a thin case, a mesh case is nothing for me due to my battery cover.

I got 2 extra batteries and i don't want to scratch my phone while taking it off all the time. The case should be pretty soft and twistable. Some good suggestions for a case would be really great. Atm i am using a SunCase but i don't really like it, I also bought a TPU Hardcase which is a bit hard to take off

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] GalaxyFan88:
hey kenny,

i'm very interested in buying the zenus silicone case in black, and additionally this Define3G crystal clear screen protection (anyone have an idea about how good this screen protection film is?)

I'm living in germany and there also a few other guys in the german samsung galaxy s pocketpc forums (pocketpc.ch/samsung-galaxy-s/) who would like to buy this case as well.

how long does it take to ship to UK/Germany? and is this Gmarket really a trustable shop?

it would be amazing if we could all place one order to save shipping costs.

hope to hear from you. :)

cheers
