Zenus Cases

Hey all,
So when I first got the Vibrant I was a little ticked off how poorly companies had taken into account Samsung and there for left us limited to crappy Tmo cases. Anyway, that's why I love globalization and the internet. I bought a Zenus case which came with two amazing screen protectors. The only problem is that they are for the actual Galaxy S not our variant. Anyway, here are some small pics of the case I'll put up more later off the actual device, and the screen protectors.

Looks nice. I have been considering getting a leather style case like that.

I got that exact same one. Love it! We will see how it holds up though.

I do love it. It's comfy and sturdy. Its no otter box but still a great case. I like that it makes the phone a little heavier, which is the only thing I don't like about the Vibrant. The light weight plastic makes it feel kind low quality cheap to me.

I agree it can be slightly chubby in the pocket, but I think the thinness of this phone has spoiled me.

Hybrid Flexi Skin Cover
Might try one out if the Hybrid Flexi Skin Cover doesn't do as good as I'm hoping it will.

Trident case

Has anyone tried out the Aegis Series case for the thunderbolt yet?

No but they sure look sweet. I went to their website but didn't see that they were available.

They do look like nice cases. Puts me in mind of the Seidio Active or Otterbox Commuter cases.

Thats a nice looking case. I plan on getting something this week and that is an option.

Wow, that's a sweet looking case. Too bad there isn't one for us extendo's

That website looks like the one I made for freshman year flash... ugh
On another note, that case looks pretty good. The blue is AWFUL... but the black looks sweet.

I just ordered one on monday. It should be here soon. I will post some pictures when I get it in.

I'd have one on the way now too if they offered a holster that works with them. I'd have to get the green, so it'd match my Nook Color Aegis case, lol.

I got one for my Evo when I had that, and it was really cheap rubber. Don't get me wrong, I love what it looks like, it just felt really cheap in-hand.

Mine just came in. Its not bad came with a screen protector but I fail at applying them.
Everything is easily accessible (the power button is easier for me to push now too lol) and protected but I really wish it had a holster .

This thing looks exactly like the Active X case (which I have.) The difference is the Active case is all black but I kinda dig the blue.

and i thought my case mate pop! was sexy...

Aegis
Will the Trident Aegis case fit in the Seido Active Holster?

I plan on getting the red one as soon as it is there to order (pre- order currently).

I ordered a Cyclops series case over the weekend since I didn't want the big Kraken 2 and the idea of the Aegis' having a hard outer shell didn't appeal to me. When I get it I'll throw some pictures up for those interested, I got the red one.
P.S. First post, helpful site and let me root and flash Das Bamf GB sense 3.0 within 3 days of getting my first smartphone.

For those that have gotten it, does the rubber feel really cheap as was mentioned once in the thread? I'm liking the case too, but have kind of had it with cases that look and sound good online but received turns out looking/feeling/being low quality.

Well I actually went with kraken and love it!

Just got my case today, I really like it unfortunately the silicone ripped within 1 minute of having the case on my phone. Its just a small part, thinnest of the case but it holds the usb plug on the phone. I emailed Trident cases about it just now so we'll see how their customer service is. Will post pics shortly.

I used to have a cyclops for my evo, imo out was the best case and I had tons for my evo, otterbox, seido, etc.
And it added a really nice grip to the phone, it wasn't to bulky with lots of protection and didn't feel cheap at all..

Do you have a link or it?

I haven't made 8 posts so I cannot add links...but if you google the name it will come up.

Looks pretty nice, but I'm really looking for something very minimalistic and light. Probably the best case out now though.

I just put in my order & projected arrival date of Jul 5-7.
The case is only 5.8 ounces so that is really light..plus I like how it has the two stand positions.

That RooCase is built exactly like the Belkin case, and for nearly half the price. I should have ordered this. I may order it and return my belkin case.

I kind of wanted that one, but I needed something with a zipper to keep dust and stuff off the tab. I bought the roocase executive portfolio, and it's very nice quality, so I would recommend a roocase

The flap /back of the case each have magnets, so it doesn't flap at all. It's completely flush with the case, kind of recessed, when not in use.

I ordered a different rooCase one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0050IU2N2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A2IHZFOHOQ0WG8) and it just arrived today. Seems very nice, good construction quality and the velcro works. I don't have my tab at work so I don't know what the fit is like, but it looks accurate. Will find out tonight!

I've seen that one too, but I'm not a fan of the velcro. Is it real leather or PU?

Pretty sure it's real leather - at least no strange smells.
Fit is good, I really like it for carrying around protection and using as a stand. Is a bit bulky for everyday sit-on-the-couch use. I am extremely offended by the PC Micro company though - they sent an email asking for a good review in return for a $2 refund. Not cool!

I got my Roocase today. It is very nice. It fits great. Only thing I notice is when you have it down at the low angle the tablet is upside down....which really doesn't matter since the screen flips

i ordered this last week and it was backordered. I am finally getting it tomorrow. Ofcourse I will post pictures and review when I get it.

Yep I got mine this week and I like it a lot. I'd recommend it. Quality is good and stands up / angles towards you pretty well. It's similar to the Apple iPad folding case but fold is a little more thick and sturdy.

I just got a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 and I will be using it for school. Now I need a case that also has a stand and am most likely going to get it from amazon. It seems rooCase is the most popular there and is this ultra slim seems the most likely for me. But it looks like it cannot tilt, or I cannot angle it more. Am I right about this. I really need to change the angle and I need a small case for the school table.

Good fitting case
Just got the ultra-slim Roocase for my GT 10.1. I really like it. The quality looks good, and most importantly, it looks like it will protect my tab very well. I would recommend it.

Need a new XOOM case

hey everyone I currently have XOOM Motorola folio case but I find it to be heavy and kind of thick.
It's do hard to pick out a case while browsing the internet cuz I can't feel it in my hands to see if I like it...can anybody help me with some recommendations?
I'm looking for something Leather, in the same style as the XOOM Motorola folio case (meaning the same openings) but maybe a little bit lighter or thinner would be awesome...i don't want to sacrifice the feeling of protection that I get from the folio case tho...
Any suggestions would be really appreciated!
Sent from my DROIDX using xda premium

Just a quick comment but I've tried a few cases and always gone
back to the Motorola folio case. It is a little bulkier than some cases
however it's also helped my Xoom survive drops to concrete floors on
more than one occasion From the cases I've tried none offers the
same level of protection, at the same price point.

I was running into the same problem when chosing a case online. I ended up testing some cases in a local store and decided to get the official portfolio case and I really love it.
I would second that other, less "bulky" cases don't offer the same level of protection. For a case that I can throw into my bagpack and doesn't leave me worrying about my Xoom getting damaged, I think the Portfolio case is rather slim, compared to heavy-protection alternatives like the Otterbox defender.
But if you don't really need that level of protection, you could the try the AYL Slim Leather case, which gets some pretty good reviews in here:

Zoo-Gue Xoom Case
I got this case shortly after getting my xoom, and LOVE it. great protection, doesn't add much bulk, you can prop it up at ANY angle, and it's inexpensive. I really like the fact that you can angle it however you want, so you're not limited to a preset 3 angles. when you want to throw it in your bag, the back can flip around to cover the screen, and the velcro straps will keep it in place. I like everything about it.

What difference of Acase Slim Leather Folio Case and Original motorola case ?

I bought a cheap leather folio case from ebay. It was in the bin 2 days later as it offered little to no protection except maybe from fingerprints and looked horrible. I must admit the one you saw on amazon looks nice, but I feel happier knowing that the motorola one is more sturdy.

the feel, build and quality are brilliant!
they also have a leather version case for the xoom, you could try that.
the price might be a bit steep comparing to other products i have seen on amazon, but the brand promises and delivers quality.
i also have a case for my hd2 from them, best i ever had!

I've gone for this one as it seems to get great reviews

Seems decent for the price.

I got the Belkin Verve for Xoom. Love it, very compact and firm fitting but seems I may have bought the last available from Amazon as has now disappeared. Highly recommend if you can find one.

Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

I got 2 of these for both my Xooms.
They are heavy, but well worth the protection. Makes your Xoom look and feel like an M1 tank. It has survived drops onto the street and kept my Xoom in perfect shape.
Has a nice shell cover that snaps to the back and acts as a stand.

My biggest issue with other XOOM cases is that most don't accommodate for the charging port. This one you just lay flat, and plug it in.

I have this case, it is awesome and has held up extremely well.

What is about Viva Motorola XOOM Carbono for Xoom. Anyone give me suggestion?

My setup

Like many of us, after buying the n7 the search for the prefect accessories for it started. In my case it was a search for a screen protector and a case. The screen protector was an easy find because I've been using spigen screen protectors on my devices for several years. Spigen hasn't disappointed. The spigen screen protector is excellent and fulfills my needs.
The next accessory required some trial and error. Do I want a case or a sleeve? I knew that I wanted minimum added bulk. So, I bought a moko ultra slim case and a ceocase leather envelope pouch I found on eBay. I tried the moko for a week. Although it is a good case, I realized that I prefer a naked n7. This led me to buy a dbrand skin. The dbrand skin is simply great. The fit is superb. It adds a touch of color (I got a yellow) and minimizes fingerprints on the back plate. It adds no bulk to the n7.
The ceocase leather pouch is a sleek and simple envelope style pouch that has a magnetic catch. The interior is felt lined making the n7 easy to slide in and out of the pouch. The pouch is well stitched and precision cut. It offers a good good amount of bump and scratch protection.
I am now set. I have essentially a naked n7 that has a decent degree of scratch protection. The n7 lives in a nice leather pouch when it is not being used. I am loving it.

Well there are also plenty of other posts and stories on this forum. If you're going to post an epic tale might as well add some pics to show off the setup. It does seem like a pretty nifty minimalist setup.

Always bought Gelaskin but it seems like this dbrand "WOOD" vinyl will look sick ... Just bit confused if i should buy only the front or both side ? Any suggestions

Ok, here are the photos I promised of my setup. Sorry for the delay. I hope you enjoy the accessory porn.
Photos explained:
The first pic is the N7 with the Spigen screen protector.
The second pic is the dbrand yellow skin.
The third pic is the Ceocase red leather envelope pouch with the N7 inserted.
The last pic is the pouch with the N7 partially inserted.

None taken. I was curious and got an opinion from my wife as to whether she thought the leather pouch/wallet was a woman's wallet. She disagreed. She said it was too big and not ornate enough to qualify as one. In fact, she commented that it was reminiscent of a style of travel wallet she has seen by Coach leathers for men. Regardless, the macho side of me finds it is to be simple and quite functional for the N7. I'll let the feminine side of me appreciate the looks. :laugh:

It does come in a more mundane and conservative black or brown.

My Setup:
No Case
No Screen Protector
any other way, is far from simple. with the rubberized back, it aint getting scratched. and the front? it's not like a phone which is always in your pocket. which means, the chances of it being scratched are a lot slimmer. I never use screen protectors on any tablet i own. nor case lol

No silly, it comes with a fanny pack strap.
I've been unsure how exactly I want to cover this thing up. Case, skin, nothing? I'm undecided at this point so I appreciate all of these threads to help steer me in one direction or another.

The Roocase is on sale, looks great. 5 shipped. I bought one. I also have a Moko slim and Portenzo. All sweet cases.
The Portenzo hard book case is expensive but high quality, where the Moko and Roocase are cheap and may last 6 mo. I don't speak experience since they are new to me, but judging by my Poetic last gen.
I'd definitely recommend a slim case with a flap. It just feels more durable and tossable. Also just the ease of just flipping it open and it turning on.
A sleeve is good for travel for luggage but daily usage.
