Hey larry, awesome post and great pics man. I love the rulers. That last picture really sold me. My hands are not very big at all... i'd say pretty average to smaller than average and this phone seems a tad too thin sometimes (maybe it's just the slickness) so this case seems perfect
[Fascinate Accessories] mknollman:
Anyone out there on the fence - jump - this is the best case I have ever used all around.

Protects the back - adds kickstand (yes I actually use it) - and adds a milimeter of edge to the front so that when I set it face down my screen protector is not rubbed and filthy.

This thing is on tight as a glove and rock solid and yet can be removed easily by using that edge and the camera hole.

KUDOS TO THE ENGINEER THAT DESIGNED THIS THING!
[Fascinate Accessories] larry0071:
Note: Those steel rules are in inches, we use 10th scales in the NDE world. So when you see those gradiants that might appear to be centimeters and milimeters, that is not the fact.

1"=25.4mm and 0.1" = 2.54mm
[Fascinate Accessories] tapout27:
Hey Larry0071 can you link me to where you got this case pictured above...its really nice....
[Fascinate Accessories] Protonus:
Larry you should REALLY get a Steinheil ultra clear screen protector. Man that protector looks horrible.

That's the case this whole thread is about... and as I mentioned in the OP, it's all over eBay all day for $10 shipped. Multiple sellers. Just do a search (again, as I mentioned in the OP) for "fascinate kickstand" and you'll find it.
[Fascinate Accessories] J Shed:
I have the Zagg, and it bothers me to no end how crappy it looks. I need to look into the Steinheil...

and this case.
[Fascinate Accessories] scriz:
larry how do you use your phone? that screen protector looks terrible.
[Fascinate Accessories] larry0071:
You can only see the screen protector whith canera flashes or when the screen is off and the room lighting hits it the wrong way. Otherwise, you can not see that screen protector at all. If I handed you the phone with it turned on, you would have to stand there tilting the screen this way and that to see that screen protector. I love it! I can care less how it looks turned off or in photos, it looks PERFECT while I am using it!

If you lay it flat on the desk and the lights above are reflecting on the screen, that is when you see it. If you have it in your hands or on the kick stand, you see perfectly smooth screen.
[Fascinate Accessories] larry0071:
Just to show you,

These are typical normal viewing angles, holding camera in front of my nose with flash turned off:

Here is manipulating things so I can capture the screen protector reflecting the lighting above me:

(Note: The big FUBAR on the left side is damage from my motorcycle tank bag. It has a clear plastic map pocket, I slide the phone in and enable google navigation and on a hot day the screen cover and tank bag kind of merged as one. As I forced the phone apart from the plastic of the tank bag, it stretched and pulled the screen protector about a 1/4" away from the screen and I thought it was screwed. I left the phone in the sun for about 5 min and it smotthed down like this and I am good with it.)

So you can see, it all depends on the viewing angle. And normal viewing, you never see that stuff at all, or if you do... barely. I also am not anal retentive about screen protectors being seen, so it does not bother me in the least if I can see some artifact from the cover. I am happy that I can not care too much about where the phone is, how it is dropped, what gets thrown on it, or where it lands when I toss it.... I have it covered tip to tail!
[Fascinate Accessories] acgr4me:
I just got this case for 9.88 with shipping included on eBay and I like how it looks. I have some questions though from people that have had this case.

1. Has anyone dropped their phone with this case on it? If so did anything happen to the phone? Reason I asked is because this case is so flush to the phone that is looks like it doesn't offer that much protection in a fall.

2. Over time does the kickstand stay in place or does it come loose at times?

3. I like the feel of the case but as a person that sometimes has sweaty hands it seems like this case would slip from my grip?

These are concerns that I have, but not a deal breaker. Just got it and was just wondering. I liked the case I had on my phone because it was thicker and it had a firm grip feel to it but no kickstand.

If you want to know from what seller I got this case from PM me. One thing I didn't like from the seller is that he won't do combined shipping but his explanation was that he was selling them below cost already and was truthful with the fact that he is making some money from the shipping. I received it very fast, ordered it 1/21 and received it today 1/25.
[Fascinate Accessories] scriz:
Larry;

I guess I'm just OCD. I re-applied the screen protector I got with my Otterbox 3 times just to make sure it was perfect. That would aggravate the hell out of me if mine looked like that lol

Heres my screen protector:
[Fascinate Accessories] larry0071:
LOL... I'm more about waxing my Excursion or cleaning my dirt bike.

The phone... it's just a phone :) I'm not emotional or in love with the phone like I am some of my "stuff"..... Pretty much, if the thing works, Im not one to fuss too much with it.
[Fascinate Accessories] letmehearucaw:
I just got this case at the closest vzw store. It is on sale for 50% off!

Edit: the total was $10 and change
[Fascinate Accessories] Protonus:
I know you're happy with it, but as they say ignorance is bliss, and I don't want anyone who is considering one versus the other to get the wrong idea. I know you don't normally notice the orange peel finish unless the lighting is right, but that doesn't change the fact that it's always there and affecting the screen performance. I *know* you would be happier with the Steinheil ultra clear, or even the Boxwave Crystal. Since you already have it by all means keep it until it needs to be replaced, but when you need to replace it or get a new device, I highly encourage you to try something else. I have done many side by side comparisons on multiple phones of just about every screen protector and variant made, because I am frequently the one who installs them for people (I'm very well practiced with perfect dust free installs) and I have many friends and coworkers with smart phones. Since I am the one installing them it removes installation technique as a variable providing a better comparison.

I can tell you that the Zagg and other "soft" protectors like the "free" ones mentioned on this forum, are thick and gummy compared to "rigid" protectors like the Steinheil and Boxwave. This means several things:

1.) The Zagg and other protectors reduce touch sensitivity and accuracy due to thickness (especially on resistive touch)

2.) They reduce touch feel due to irregular "drag" due to the gummy texture and unsmooth surface

3.) They reduce screen brightness and color accuracy due to thickness, and also due to their irregular orange peel texture which scatters light.

With my Steinheil, the screen looks identical to without it, and touch feel is virtually identical. It's like laying a thin layer of glass over top. If I took a picture with the light on it, you wouldn't know it's on the screen save for the tiny "lip" at the edge of the protector. It's that clear.
[Fascinate Accessories] Protonus:
Without a cushioning layer like rubber or silicone, it's not going to do much for shock (read: rapid deceleration) damage, but no case that doesn't have a cushion would. However it should provide some protection against the case cracking from impact, abrasion damage, etc. I've dropped it a few times with no damage to anything, but I always try to stick my foot out so it hits my foot first... not sure that I've really had it hit hard yet on something very rigid like concrete or tile.

To me the advantage of this case is grip, the kickstand, the fact that you can easily tell by feel, what is the "top" of the phone, and the protection it adds.

The tension for the kickstand gets "looser" with time since it's all plastic. It starts to try and collapse a bit when the phone is vertical/portrait on the kickstand. But in landscape it's never an issue because the weight of the phone keeps the kickstand open. I wouldn't say it's an issue at all. If you must use it in portrait, you can stick something between the kickstand and the phone to prevent collapse. I'm not sure this is an intended use/feature anyways.

The case is rubberized, and textured with a tile grip pattern... I'm not sure where you're going with this. short of a lanyard/wrist strap, I don't see how it could be any better.
[Fascinate Accessories] acgr4me:
I was trying to say if you have sweaty hands or oily hands and you are gripping the phone does it tend to get slippery. I have had it a couple of days and so far I like it.

About dropping it. I know that with any fall no matter what the protection there is always a threat of damage. Just wondering if anyone has dropped it and if so what type of damage but I see that it has happened to you and it is good to know that it held up.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.
[Fascinate Accessories] letmehearucaw:
I dropped my phone the other day (with this case on it) and as I tried to catch it, I ended up slamming it to the ground (I know, I'm stupid). But the case took the slam and only has a scratch to show for it. My phone is 100% ok.
[Fascinate Accessories] Joe T:
Just wanted to say "thanks" for all the reviews! I got my case today and coming from a body glove I love the lower profile of this case. Think I spent $10 including shipping on Ebay for it.
[Fascinate Accessories] dco717:
Its ok it is kinda loose not super tight like I hoped it would be
[Fascinate Accessories] rctreadaway:
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Searching ebay now. Thanks!
[Fascinate Accessories] Joe T:
I used about 1/2 a cleaning cloth and put it between the phone and case on the left hand side. Seems to have tightened things up a bit and it's there for when I get a phone call and am eating chicken wings.
[Fascinate Accessories] royalewihcheese:
+1 for the kickstand case. On clearance at the Verizon store for $10 and change including tax, which is within a buck of what I'd pay on eBay with shipping.

Fits tightly, kickstand is pretty solid (though I feel I could open it too far if I weren't paying attention) and works very well in portrait and landscape. Very low-profile. The phone in general feels more solid with the case on. No heavier, and no thicker, but the cheapish glossy slick feel of the stock battery case is replaced by that matte-black plastic grid that grips slightly better. Overall, a very, very nice buy for $10.

The only thing I'd gripe about is the clearance to the power button and the edge of the case. Makes it slightly difficult to turn it on with the right hand. It's easy to grip with the left hand and turn on with the index finger, but that's not how I normally hold the phone.

Oh, and no screen protector here. I didn't even put one on my Eris, which didn't have GG, and it got through a year in just a VZW silicone case without a single scratch. Just kept it in my jeans pocket separate from everything else, screen facing in (which is how you'd naturally put it in there). I don't anticipate it being a problem with the Fascinate.
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
As I go to sleep I put my phone on the charger. When the charge reaches 100% the screen turns on, and stays on the lock screen due to the notification.

The lock screen stays on for hours and burns the white dots into my screen.

How can I get the screen to automatically turn off after battery full notification?

Running stock JI6.
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
Switch to a different rom like Bionix that doesnt have that annoying popup
[Vibrant General] hipmel:
JI6 changed the popup to a notification bar symbol, like getting an email.

I've never had this problem. Charging the phone overnight I notice it lights up when the battery is fully charged but it turns itself off after a moment like always.
[Vibrant General] Emama:
even if it has the pop-up before the update, tje screen should be off after few second (supposed)

however, i had the same problem that the screen does not turn off before, still have no idea how it happen and how to fix

I've read in some threads that samsung is removing their JPM/JP6 firmware from KIES update... Is this true?

I live in Canada, so I technically dont have the update yet anyways, but have any of the europeans on this site noticed this?

Also! Supposing that samsung isnt removing their froyo firmware, is there any harm in me doing the regedit hack to get the froyo update NOW instead of waiting for it to be "officially" released in canada?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jean2323:

i tried froyo ... phone was slow, bunch of google apps were not working and after the first reboot the phone stopped working
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veetip:
I had to do a factory reset after updating to Froyo to make the phone run at normal speed. Samsung screwed up the update, especially with the Market also vanishing.

[Q] downgrade from froyo to eclair

Hi all new member. I have an unlocked galaxy s on o2 from the carphone warehouse in uk. I used the reg hack to upgrade to froyo and all is well exept my product code has now changed from xeu to xee. I have decided that i want to return to my original 2.1 firmware and wait for the official uk froyo release. Would i be able to use the original hack (with a few changes)that we used to get froyo to trick kies into giving me my old firmware back???

My old firmware was xxjm1 for all 3 files

If the answer to the above is yes then i am just wondering what to change for the hdswerver? i know that i will use xxjf3 but there is a part that says "swc" what would i change this to?? Hope somebody can help

I find it hard to belive that froyo runs slower than 2.1. If you do a facyory reset after upgrade it.s quite fast and responsive. much faster than 2.1. Vodoo is also gonna set up a new version of their lag fix to run on 2.2. just wait. I updated using kies and regedit.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlo.ldp:
I'm happy to hear that your experience is fine. Mine looks very different.. the SGS with froyo is slower than eclair also with OCLF. Free memory is less than 160MB instead the 200MB or more with eclair. Some apps are always running even when I kill manually or automatically..

And more I can't see important features that wasn't on eclair..

But that's my opinion..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSF:
Really? Wiped too right after flashing. And I can confirm that Froyo is laggier than Eclair (at least in some aspects). Here are some examples:

- laggy keyboard input (eg: on market, when writing a long post on the browser, etc)

- laggy app drawer. if I slide fast between apps pages it start lags. I have 6 pages of apps. Also pinch to zoom out in app drawer it's extremely laggy.

- laggy browser, consumes a lot of RAM and CPU. Try for eg pocketnow.com. Go and watch RAM/CPU usage in Task Manager. (tested with plugins off and on demand)

- even less free RAM available

And that's with voodoo lag fix applied.

And that's just not me. It's global. I bet you have those issues too, maybe you haven't used the phone too much.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schiphol:
The question you're asking ought to be directed to Scandinavian as they're the only ones that can tell for sure. So here's mt crack at it.

Are there any Scandinavians out here who have a Galaxy s on the original elair 2.1 and can confirm that if they check for an update none is showing where KIES used to indicate a Froyo update was available?

If the answer is yes then the update got pulled, if no it means Samsung is proceeding as planned. There is also a small possibility they want to fix stuff before releasing it outside Scandinavia. I really don't think that's very likely in this case, it's inconsistent with leaking the regional firmware for Arabic and African countries.

I guess only time will tell. I'm going to wait for a one of the cyanogenmod as I have lost all faith in Samsung ever getting this firmware right. Actually jm2 with voodoo is not so bad.

I'm probably going to have to downgrade to 2.1 too since my previously perfectly working GPS started to act up after the 2.2 upgrade. I had none of the problems of "gps-gate", not until now. Something tells me that Samsung has no clue where the problem lies...

Not sure why people are having issues.

Was already running JM9 on 512PIT

I Factory reset the phone then cleared the cache.

Flashed JM8 Odin 3 v1 no need for PIT

Then Flashed JP6 with Odin 3 v1.3 and PIT 813

The phone runs perfectly. No issues. Market works great.

I did loose all applications downloaded from the Market but I had done a sync with AppBrain so easily recovered.

I don't run backups. Always do everything from scratch. Which is probably why I never have issues.

Instructions:

1. nandoid backup

2. adb devices

3. adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk

(make a backup copy of this file)

4. open the apk file with winrar or 7zip

5. insert the .png files into the framework-res.apk's \res\drawable-hdpi folder

6. adb remount

7. adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/

8. adb reboot

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

- nandroid backup is a must just in case you mess anything up!

- If it is not the right size 24 x 24 px it will show a blank space instead of an icon.

-While doing this process you will see a FC error but that's ok just adb reboot

POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR FC ERRORS!

- If you do not adb pull before you abd push.

- Receiving a text while trying this out.

~~Not 100% sure because both of these things happend within the same try!

-I noticed that I actually put .PNG instead of .png and that may have been the problem.
