I agree, I've been waiting to order this one.

............

Thanks!
I just ordered this case, gotta say been having a real tough time trying to find a quality case for this phone, probably more trouble than have ever had trying to find a case. I mean seriously there is some real crap cases out there. Eh, whatever really hope this is what I've been looking for...fingers crossed!

Mine just arrived today and the case is very slim similar to the snap on cases but the two pieces combine so sesmlessly that it is definitely a step above similar cases, the carbon fiber look is painted on and the unit has a soft touch finish similar to the back of an evo 4g

it gives it more protection than a silicone case but not as much as an otterbox or tough case, it seems like it would protect it from a moderate fall impact, it also adds minimal bulk, not quite as slim a a barely there case but it is close. it seems to be a very high quality case as far as fitment goes

here are a couple

one more for you, hope this helps

yeah its one of the best games on android, plays flawlessly on the vibrant

Just so you umderstand my obsession about cases I have a tpu grey case, one of those mesh cases in black, a body glove rubber case, a case mate tough case, and out of all them, I think I use the tough case when I feel like I need maximum protection and this case the rest of the time.

any time bro....just want anyone who is interested in this case to be able to make an informed decision, the pics they have on samsung's site are terrible, they only show the back of the case.

got links to the tough cases or otterbox cases? ill do some searching

Any new cases coming from popular brands?

So, is there any new cases coming out from popular brands other than Otterbox?

I used this one from swiss army and it fits the captivate perfectly.

))) I meant Popular Brands that make Quality Cases... Like Speck, Otterbox and others...

Yeah... I really wish Speck made cases for the Captivate.

BUMP! May be something new coming up?

otterbox released their impact series case.. but no defender as of yet

Incipio just came out with a case for the captivate. I have one of their hard cases for my Zune HD and am very happy with the quality. I'm tempted to pick up one for my Captivate. Right now I'm using an Invisibleshield but wouldn't mind a little more protection.

I just got the Otterbox Impact case for the Captivate not ten minutes ago in the mail. Shipping was ok, I ordered it last Thursday. Seems really solid and thick enough that it could take a decent impact or drop. I like it so far but the increase in size will have to grow on me. It's not a ridiculous increase, puts it about to the size of a 3GS iPhone really. Other than that it comes with a screen protector and has a good feel in your hands. I got it for right under $18.00 with shipping using the coupon code "tb1010y".

Check this and this. These look pretty solid, and are very reasonably-priced!

Bought this case in the mall at a kiosk.

1. That design, barely visible. It's actually A LOT darker case. Especially when on the phone.
2. It's thick flexible plastic. Hard Gel-like. Not a rubber skin that gets caught up in your pocket.
3. It's the exact same shape as the phone. A true "skin'.
4. Light. Adds almost no additional weight to the phone.

I have that same case, only in green. I agree with your assessments, it really is a great case. I am curious about the Otterbox cases though, have never used them before.

It looks like an Amzer Argyle TPU case.

IDK about the first one, but the snap on case isn't that good. I have the black version. The snaps are broken in several spots, the case opens itself when dropped (what good is that?), and occasionally when pulling out of my pocket the case is literally falling off.
YMMV, but if I had to do it again, I'd avoid the Amzer rubberized snap on case at all costs.

Body Glove TPU case is all you need.

the body glove case on t-mobile's site looks really good to me. but body glove has a bad history of damaging phones. i've seen posts on a few devices. hence... i'm wary of getting one. i will probably play it safe and wait for some posts about it on here. but it def looks good.

ahh found them!
the screen protectors on Amazon

I'm just gonna wait for couple weeks and see any good designed case comes out

I'm going to wait it out till I get a nice S-shaped Non transparent, TPU case I have had it on my last three phones and I plan on keeping it that way.

Definitely looking for accessories already Anybody have details on the D3O cases/bands? Their site says they'll have them but I haven't found any retailers.

What are you referring to?

I bought the black body glove case & a couple of cutesy patterned hard cases off eBay. And fyi- the T-Mobile screen protectors seem to be pretty darn good.

Nice pictures! I'd also like to know more. Does it get stuck when you try to pocket it?

the case overall it seems very durable. 9/10 when there isn't a phone in there its kinda flimsy but it feels real sturdy in your hand. The phone does not get stuck when you try to pocket it, it has a hard coat so its not like a soft silicone case. Doesn't attract any lint that's a plus. I really jumped the gun and bought the case before I got my phone

Found a lot of cheap TPU cases on e-bay + screen protectors. Can't wait for them to get here so I can stop being so careful with my phone.

Luardi Slim Bumper (Best Bumper So Far)

For the past six months, I've been searching and waiting for the perfect bumper and I think I've finally found it. The other bumpers like Draco and Tedoori have button cutouts that kill the symmetry of the phone's lines. Bumpers like Spigen are plastic and just look terrible.
The one made by Luardi is slim and has nice curves that won't kill the S3's nice curves. I have yet to see someone review it here so :I will post one when I get it.
What do you guys think?

Way too expensive. But looks nice. I hope it has front and back lips so it may help protect the f and b.

Looks great, but way to expensive

Wouldn't exactly say that's anywhere near "Way too expensive". Considering other aluminum bumpers like the Draco Design's one is nearly double the price....

Actually, it's on sale on eBay and you can pick it up for $40. Still pricey but not bad. Hope it's worth it.

Does anyone know things will work with the metal back covers that are on Amazon , if so I'll buy one.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Metal backs will distort NFC but phone signal is not really affected that much unless your normal signal is bad to begin with.

Looks nice, if it didn't have the grip parts I might consider it.
Overall doesn't seem expensive IMHO

Anyone received theirs yet?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Mine has arrived but stuck in the mailroom until tomorrow. I'll let you guys know as soon as I get it.

please comment on the signal w case on vs case off

So how is it? Any pictures?

i'm curious, too. Thinking about possibly getting one of these, or Luardi's leather wallet case... i'd prefer staying with something that doesn't increase the bulk of the phone, but also curious about how installing the phone in Luardi's aluminum bumpers goes.

Just ordered mine
Ordered mine from ebag through Amazon for $37. First time it came the case did not look anything like the picture. It was probably a knockoff. Called Ebag and they assured me it was probably mis-packaged my employee so I'm ordering another one.
The attached picture shows the one they sent me. Just a case with a cut out for the buttons.

Pictures
After some crazy Fedex routing, I finally got my bumper. At first, I glance, I was disappointed, because I got the same case as previously mentioned from eBags via Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Luardi-Aluminum-Bumper-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00ANWLUO0/). But then when I opened it up more, I realized that this was in fact the aluminum bumper, it just doesn't match the picture that Luardi / Amazon / eBags posted on their order page.
The case is more subdued than in the advertised pictures and the bumps along the size are less pronounced (I prefer that). The one thing they did design-wise was to make the top portion a thin plastic inset to hold the phone in the bumper. It seems to work, but makes the case feel cheaper. It could be that this design allows the bumper to be less bulky without additional securing closures. It looks pretty good, but it isn't as solid as I had hoped, it will creak and flex slightly when squeezed, particularly along the bottom where the plastic inset can be released.
I took some pictures and posted them on dropbox:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/agfy6zj9tk1prni/ceJKB08chh
Let me know if there are any other angles that you want me to take.
I am trying out the case to see whether I am going to keep it. I suspect that Amazon / eBags would still authorize the return since it clearly doesn't match what they are advertising.

Digging the finger grips

Looks cool. I wonder if it's equivalent to Draco bumpers

UAG Monarch Series (images inside)

I just got my UAG Monarch series for my S8+. As usual it fits great, the keys are very responsive. Now I hope I can find a good tempered glass that fits without peeling off. I installed an IQ shield (wet install) and had to trim the edge (badly trimmed off by me).

How does it do for edge protection?? Is the top and bottom lip seem to give decent protection on the screen when face down? It barely raises the screen off the desk when face down. I have the Spegein Heavy Armor and it almost feels like the phone will fall out at the first good impact. It also doesnt seem to have much edge protection at all.

It has around 1mm gap

Is the gap enough though? I've always liked UAG cases and something that will protect the device well. This is my first edge phone,so not sure if it will be enough

I agree on that, I might have to go back to an otter box. I hate bulking up the phone like that.

I think the gap is much better for me than my spigen liquid armor

Thank you for posting pictures of this case!
I ordered it off of amazon, but unfortunately, it will be getting shipped in a month .
But I really wanted to see how it looked, so thank you so much for this!

You're welcome. Pre ordered mine on the 1st week of April from uag site, got 2 days after my s8+ arrives

Really nice case, you have better pictures then the UAG website. I didn't realize it was two tone like that.

I'm really curious how the dimensions of the Monarch compare to an Otterbox Commuter or Symmetry. Any chance you could get ahold of one or both of those and do side-by-side photos?

I don't have otterbox case. But im still waiting for the Pelican case to cone out.

Any idea how long these take to ship to the UK from UAG? Thanks.

I pre-ordered this 1 week before my S8+ came. It took about a week when i got it from uag USA. Not sure about UK, sorry.

I have the Monarch for my S8+, in addition to a couple of Plasmas (Ice & Cobalt). I prefer the Plasma, as it feels sturdier - the lower lip on the Monarch is flimsy. However, the Monarch feels slimmer on the sides, making it a bit easier to hold.

Was your Monarch a little bowed in the middle when you took it out of the package?
Hope UAG makes the Midnight Edition like they did for the iPhone 7 Plus.
