Yes please, and can you try to get a ballpark cost figure as well if possible, definitely getting it if it is not extortionately priced
Got the reply. Here is it:
Hey x,
I've just asked the product guys, unfortunately we don't know when they're due in yet - we know we're expecting a lot of Galaxy S2 stuff at the end of June but a lot of the accessories are just coming in as and when at the moment.
We also don't have prices for them either, which makes me think that Samsung haven't released these details yet - which gives me the impression they won't be in stock for a while.
Sorry I can't be of more help

and the second it seems, really appreciate the quick response, looks like i might have to get a cheapo one for when i get the phone, but Damn the Sleeve look brilliant. and it can take a shovel or a hammer blow or two.
Really surprised no-ones interested in these Official cases, they seem much better than all the others and offer the best protection available, especially the sleeve which wraps around fully
Youre welcome. Glad to have been of help and thanks again.
Yea the protection seems to be great. The only problem with the cover is that the colour combo isnt too much to my liking. Maybe if they released them in different colours, more people would buy them. The sleeve looks great but I find it too tasking to take it out every time I need to check the phone.
Some of the Tech 21 D3o cases are available for around 8-12 GBP. Although they do not provide the sae protection, my guess is that the galaxy s ii cases would cost anywhere between 15-30 pounds depending on the style and protection it offers.

looks like the shell case (second post) is probable what suits you more, but the colour is a problem, i personally love the blue, but wouldn't mind other colours as well.
Yup Im interersted in that one. But I dont like the dual tones. And even if I could get past that, the blue is a bit too bright for me. Dark blue would have been great.
Just registered my interest in a slip case on the mobilefun site. I have a leather slip case at the moment, but the Sammy one looks quite swish I think.
I registered my interest in the official Samsung D30 leather slip case too .
Let's just hope they don't take too long to release it.
I'm OK for now though, as I haven't even got my handset yet
Yep can't wait also official, car dock seems ace. Someone reviewed and gave it 9.5 out of 10. Check the thread in the same accessories forum.

Probably enough for light impact / against scratches etc. and probably none for 50cm+ drops.
I like that case! Looks really good and professional. Especially if you know the hassle with the Dell Streak cases.

I asked a question as to whether this would actually fit the note. By the looks of it they have just taken the images from cases for other phones, as there is no way the note would fit in it. I'm not sure how custom it is, but I haven't received a response to my question, so I don't think I'll be buying from them until there is confirmation it will actually fit.
Edit: Seems I did get a response, but I only got an email for the first message (a more trivial question). To quote their response:
The pictures are from other model phone. But we can make it to fit Samsung Galaxy Note perfectly.
I believe we can hold them to this, so I might get it.
Here in Greece i had a "leather" pouch custom sewn for my Note at a cost of 20 euros.
It fits nicely and was modded on that of the HTC HD2.
what happens when we drop the note ? will a leather pouch save it from the fall?
such expensive devices need real protection. if only otterbox released a case.
Good point, a pouch won't protect against fall. It will, however, allow the device to be mounted to a belt. That being said, I am still undecided how to go about it. I will probably wait until I have it to make the decision.

I have had a string of devices with PDair vertical sliding cases.
I find them to be the most practical, while offering very good protection.
Am waiting for an order for a case for the Note.
They did have some online when I ordered but have pulled the webpage.
I used to buy cases from Beyza but they seem to have gone over to the dark side and have completely dropped HTC phone cases from their inventory.
Maybe they will make a case for the Note.
Did a quick ebay search and found a 4 results from Germany for Galaxy Note screen protectors by 3M.... never bought from them, but seller ratings look good.

This one i'm aiming for. This will protect the note when it comes for the size of the note.
And, is a screenprotector relevant??? If someone could tell me if it's still needed to protect the screen when it is made of gorilla glass... thnx in advanced.

I totally agree with you on that. And because of the kind of glass you dont need a screenprotector anyway . I'll wait till the white note comes and buy the case from piel frama because my hd2 still looks new after 2 years.

I've never heard of this brand before but I heard lots of good reviews on TPU cases and need something to put my GS3 in when I get it. Was looking to stay away from black but when I seen this picture not only did it convince me to go ahead and get it, but i'm gonna end up getting a black Otterbox as well.

Anyone had any experience with this brands TPU cases before? I will update this thread with my review once I get it installed.
**Update 6.29.12**
I picked up my phone from BB yesterday and took this case with me to protect my phone until my Incipio Sylicrilic Dual Pro arrived...which was at home waiting for me along with my Tagsfordroid NFC tags. The case had a nice feel to it, at least on the shiny parts where it had more grip...the matte area was pretty slick/smooth/slippery. It was my first experience with a TPU case and while it added very little bulk, much like a wetsuit, it was a little difficult to stretch onto the phone. I thought I was going to damage the phone trying to get it on. But after getting it on I liked it for it's intended use, preventing cosmetic damage to the backside of the case and allowing me to set the phone face down without feat of damaging the screen. But my big complaint is that the buttons are very hard to press and you can't even tell when you've done so as you have no audible or tactile feedback upon the press. Because of this, the TPU came off as soon as I got home and noticed my SDP had arrived. I do not recommend this case unless it's just going to be used similarly to the situation I used it for.
generic cases you can get them for a buck on ebay with shipping. have used them on a lg o2x, sgs2, HOX and later today a sgs3. they usually fit really good. had no issues with them.

How does it feel in your hand? Does it add alot of bulk? What's the fitment like? Does it attract dust/lint? Does it add any grip? Have you dropped it at all, if so, did it fare well?

I love these types of cases. I have had one for every phone I have had over the past year and a half(and I've had a bunch) Case doesnt add too much bulk at all and it feels great in the hand. The side grips are very nice

I just bought a couple of TPU case for my S3 as they are my favorite type of case. I have the ones on eBay that have a slightly textured X pattern on the back and a couple identical to the flexishield case on mobilefun. I've found the ones on eBay to be to loose and move around a bit when I'm adjusting the volume or locking/unlocking my phone ect and both of them have a problem with reflecting the color of the case back into the camera lens when using the flash.It makes for some pretty interesting photo effects.
The ones you linked to look good but I would advise against getting a semi transparent color. I'm thinking about getting one in black or white to see me through until Incipio release there NGP case.
Okay, I forgot the mention this before when I posted the images.
While they feel great and look really good.
I noticed NFC doesn't work with cover on, I think this might be the same for most covers and not just this one, but none the less if you use NFC a lot. Keep in mind you need to remove the cover to do so.

TPU cases typically don't fall off. You have to pop them off. They're pretty ideal.

Got my case today, super fast if you ask me considering I placed my order at 11pm on the 6th. Will definitely do business again with these guys. I bought it on Amazon from "SF Planet", they're out of Minnesota and I live in California.
So I checked out the case and the first thing I noticed is how thin it is, will add very little bulk to the phone. It's thick enough to hold it's form but thin enough to be very low profile. The case has shiny and dull areas on it....the shiny areas are very grippy, the dull areas not so much. But since the edges where you would normally hold the phone are knurled and shiny, gripping it should not be a problem. It's also got cutouts for the necessary areas, including both top and bottom mic's. Can't speak on the fitment for obvious reasons but will do so hopefully soon.
So far, so good.
People that buy this case in white, it gets very dirty! Only the left half of the wave design since it's a different surface. (matte vs. gloss).
Do TPU cases provide enough front coverage?
It seems like the Commuter would do better.
if your in london you can buy it from these guys... i bought a case for my SGS1 Year and a bit ago and they were really good than http://www.londonmagicstore.co.uk/Samsung/I9300/S+Line.htm

It certainly would, but considering the commuter wont be shipping until the week after launch I had no choice but to get something. TPU cases will guard against scratches, thats about it.

"This 2-pack comes with two different colors and textures of Samsung Galaxy S III Ultra Slim Covers.The Galaxy S™ III Ultra Slim Cover provides additional protection for your handset against scratches on the back of the device. If you typically don't buy cases for mobile phones, this is the option for you. The case is ultra slim, giving you the feeling that it's not even there - aside from the texturized grip it provides, keeping the phone from sliding off surfaces or falling out of your pocket. Allows unimpeded access to ports and buttons, assuring your Galaxy S III is fully functional."

Does anyone have one of these? What are your thoughts? Exactly how thin are these things?
There's three main reasons that I never use a case:
There's only so much room in my pocket as it is
Decreases sexiness
I use mounts that are designed specifically for my phone. A case would get in the way of that.
If I am to believe their marketing... "The case is ultra slim, giving you the feeling that it's not even there"... then it would seem like at least #1 and #2 on my list would not be as much of a concern. #3 would probably still be an issue, but who knows. I plan on getting a ProClip holder for my SGSIII, and I've never had one before so I don't know exactly how snug it will be. If this cover really is as thin as they make it sound, maybe it'll even fit in that too.
Thoughts?
P.S. Show of hands... who saw "ultra slim, giving you the feeling that it's not even there" and immediately wanted to make a sexual joke?
I've also been looking for the slimmest case possible and been eyeing these. Any input would be appreciated!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
+1 also interested in these but have no idea how they translate as noone has reviewed them or has them that I've seen.
I'm not as worried about scratches as I am about the thing sliding out of my pocket or very short falls.
Although I'm sure this thing would probably increase friction enough to lower my concerns about pocket escape I'm not sure that it looks like it provides any additional padding vs my kitchen floor.
My main doubt with these is whether the case is so thin it breaks or becomes stretched..
Will have to check best buy to see if they are going to carry this like the flip cover.
And I will be the first to admit that I thought of a sexual joke too.
Well I went to buy them and they are on back order... guess they are more popular then we thought.

Doesn't look like that item really offers anything in terms of protection, aesthetics, or ease-of-holding. The Samsung ones probably don't offer much protection either, but the texture will at least help to grip the phone. Looks a little nicer too.

Just ordered that few days ago. lol
0.3mm thin! think about it! Though it doesnt offer much protection, im only planning on using it around the house and my friends houses.
I typically get a tough case like a Silicryllic or Otterbox, and a lighter/thinner hard case to protect from scratches when being put down, keep cameras protected, and a slight drop.
For my thin case I bought the Rock Quicksand in grey for my Pebble Blue GS3, and am VERY happy with it. It adds a lip around the screen so it can be set face down, controls are easy to get to, and it's different from everything out there. It's great to just have around the house, and set on a desk or counter and not worry about scratching the back.

Also considering the Diztronic blue TPU when it's released, and then either the Silicryllic or an otterbox maybe.

Slim Cases
I'm (DBA Cases) am going to release one in 2-3 weeks.
That one for a few bucks is going to be garbage. When you are talking thin cases you have to use the right materials - no way they are.
Mine have a special blend of polycarbonate to take falls and scratches, a great grip and better design.
Of course they will be more than a few bucks but I'll have them on EBAY probably.
Let me know I'd love to test and write a full review for ya I'll cover shipping

Saw a review for it on youtube. Looks really sleek but the deal breaker for me was that it doesn't have a lip in front that lets you leave it face down without scratching it up.
Here's the link though:

I went with the Incipio NGP in translucent gray and it looks really slick on my blue s3
hey this one is also a genuine samsung case and it has the lip:

I've got the Rearth Alpine White Ringke earlier in the week. It's super thin. I've got a Speck Candy shell arriving today for comparison...
I owned one of the 0.3mm cases from ebay for my s2 and I'll give you my opinion:
1. They protect the phone pretty well. Even through some minor falls the case still held on and didn't crack
2. The case scratches pretty easy. If you get the clear one its not as noticeable, but it was very noticeable when I owned the black one.
3. I kept a screen protector on the phone as the lip on the screen side is minimal and I was still scared of setting it down on the screen side otherwise.
4. Used the case for ~6mos(2 mos black version, 4 mos clear version) with no major issues. It is still on the phone as we speak.
5. Super cheap(~$3) and did exactly what it was supposed to do(prevent scratches on the phone and case
I already have one on order for my S3

Dear friends,
Amongst the countless "fanboy" wars between samsung and apple, there is one product that I would not mind taking the fire for, which is the Griffin Survivor Military Case for the 4s. Okay i just realised that I sound like a salesperson now, but that thing looks like a beast, my friend has it on his iphone and looking at it it would be the first case I would't mind dropping on the floor just to test it.

http://www.griffintechnology.com/armored
Apart from the hard plastic cases such as the kraken/defender etc. Is there a hard rubber alternative for our s3s? I have sent a request email to the company asking them to design one for our precious galaxy s3s, if anyone else would help out and send some request letters it would give us another very good case to protect our s3s.
Here is their Email address, so if everyone could leave a message showing interest I am sure we would get far [email protected]

Looks like if we generate enough interest they'd be pushed into making it. If everyone sends a short email to them telling them we would be interested, with our numbers I am sure we would get one
Wouldn't hurt to have more choices with cases

That looks like it would be a solid option. I'd probably buy it to try it out if they made it. I'd also like to see a ballistic HC as well.

Lol yeah, the 4s is ****:highfive:, it is just a pity they tend to get quite a lot of accessories made for them due to being one flagship phone for apple..
Indeed - Otterbox Defender or Trident Kraken are about as good as you can do for an Android phone. While there may be more Android phones out there, there's a wide variety of shapes and sizes so it's hard for any one company to make a cool case like those. Apple only makes two or three shapes of phones and sell lots of them so it's easy for any company to make a variety of great cases for them for less money.
It sucks as far as getting cool cases sometimes, but at least you can easily mod the software on an SGS 3.

I saw that but it has plastic on the outside, which IMO feels cheap. This griffin survivor case, has a plastic shell in the inside and a hard rubber shell on the outside which makes the feel of the case really good. Its very sturdy as it simply bounces off the floor without transferring any of the stress to the phone,

I have a red Seidio Active. The case fits very well, looks great, has a kickstand, and does not add extreme bulk. But:
1. Your grip grabs mostly rubber. But, the rubber is surprisingly slippery. The plastic part is slightly textured and is not slippery.
2. The holster has side guides. If you don't line up the phone exactly between the side guides when you load the phone into the holster, then the side guides hit your screen. I have a screen protector, but the holster has made a few scratches in the screen protector.
i'd definitely buy this case if they made it for the gs3 :good:
The Defender is plastic on the inside and silicone on the outside just like this case.

oh sorry my bad, the issue is that the silicon has not got the same texture as the one on the survivor.

This is *one* of the reasons I chose the s3 over the evo lte. With all major us carriers releasing the same phone, as well as all the international sales, manufacturers such as griffin need to take notice. With the total amount of s3's sold, I honestly expected a whole lot more choices on accessories than what is currently available.

Yeah with 10mil sold I am surprised they are not tapping into it, thatswhy I am doing this little campaign to give them a little push. lets say they decide to bring one out next week, I am sure they'd be making a lot of sales with pre orders, given the current somewhat small number of options available to 10mil+ users.
So I would like everyone to just spent one minute in emailing them, I am sure with our number of users we could achieve this

Saw my friend bought the griffin case for 4s pretty solid and the grip of the case is nice and not slippery. Was abit down though these company didn't make any of their cases for androids.

Just sent an email. Hopefully enough people will jump on this! It's an amazing case.
Unless your getting deployed overseas why would you want a case five times the thickness of your phone omg that case thick lol. Seven years running and no dropped phone knock on wood.

I wanted to share my experience and a review of a fake Spigen Neo Hybrid case I bought not too long ago. I got the idea from a few people who suggested getting the fake case now that the authentic has been discontinued so if you're still looking for this style and want to know what the price, quantity and shipping times are like keep reading.
The design of the case is obviously its main attraction and I have to give Spigen props for taking design cues from the handset itself and making it smooth, modern and overall aesthetically pleasing. The case itself is composed of a TPU shell with a polycarbonate color band that is interchangeable if you purchase more than one case.
I ordered a total of 3 cases and didn't see any visible manufacturing defects. At one point in the video above I point out that the band bows out a bit near the volume rocker but after closer inspection I noticed the band wasn't sitting flush with the TPU cutout and the problem remedied itself after I pressed it in properly.
I've done some intense gaming as well as normal charging to the phone and haven't noticed any sagging of the TPU on the back. The Volume rocker and Power buttons press in perfectly on all three of my cases which is good to hear considering the manufacturing problems Spigen had with the authentic ones. The quality of the materials used is top notch when compared to other hybrid cases I've used in the past but I can't compare them to the real case because I don't own one.
The case came in a nice packaging and included a decent screen protector but a really crappy microfiber cleaning cloth. I didn't mind to much considering I've got others to fall back on but just wanted to give you a heads up.
I paid $15ish for 3 cases shipped for free from China and they arrived in exactly 12 days even though I placed the order on a Sunday. The merchant included a tracking number and payment was held in escrow until I confirmed the arrival.
If you were as disappointing as I was that Spigen discontinued the Neo Hybrid style case for the Galaxy S3 then you may want to give the fake cases a try. At the dirt cheap price and good build quality it makes for an easy purchase even if you're usually conservative on accessory purchases.
Below some pics I took of the case and packaging.
For the full comprehensive review which includes the link to the merchant (not sure if I could post it here so I didn't) and a ton of other pics please visit CLICK HERE.

I have one of them replica neo hybrids and the buttons are really difficult to press. Still looks identical too me as the real one. Build quality is great for the price.
Yeah the build quality is great and the price makes you want to buy one even if your not in the market for one.

is the "made by spigen california" mis spelling visible? or just the 8 MEGA?
i might buy this case anyways because i messaged the seller and he said I could get a grey back with a white bumper - hope he understood that I want to mix and match, but if I get the wrong case at least I have the messages to dispute
Where is this available for 5$?

The words on the color band aren't noticeable unless you're like 6 inches away from it. The grooves aren't deep enough so it doesn't catch much light at all making it hard to see. The MEGR on the other hand is noticeable from about a foot away from your face. The seller seemed really easy to work with. During my chat with him before I placed the order I asked if he could do a blue band with the blue back and he said yes and sure enough you can see it in the video. Didn't look as good as I thought it would in my head but at least he understood what I meant.

Do you have an authentic case or is it a fake as well? Feel free to share the link if you want, I know a few peeps would maybe prefer they not be mispelled.

Fake or so i think. The pakage it came in had errors all over. No authenticy card inside and cheap screen protector. But the case looks identical as the oem, or i think it does.

Sweet! Thanks for the in-depth review. Gonna buy 3 of these babies and try em out. I really love the blue and lime green, not sure what my third colour should be though. Perhaps white?
I've just buy one in blue version for me.. It's a good fake spigen case But real problem for me is power button.. Very hard to press! Volume buttons are good. What can I do for making it softer?
Just recieved my black/green case. All fits great, my only gripe is that the side dont fit quite snug like im use to seeing. You can see it move when pressing the sides. Its a very thin tpu so dont expect much drop protection lol. Other than that its a great case. Would this case replace my zoogue tpu? Hell no! Would i rock it? Hell yes! Looks great. Bought it on ebay from seller nima22. Overall its a great replica case. Great color variances to choose from. Thinking of ordering black/red and black/white for my white gs3. Sorry only have 1 camera at the moment. Here are some pics of the case itself.
