kickstand case??

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8091859&postcount=4
can anyone tell me if this case will work with the vibrant. if not, where can i find a kickstand case, other than the bodyglove brand.

Bodyglove has a cool case that has a kickstand. It's around 20-25
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

i have both the black mesh kickstand as well as the bodyglove. they both fit and work. the mesh kickstand may not be the top choice of some vibrant owners because it does not protect/cover the borders of the front glass/face of the vibrant as most cases do. i've had problems with the bodyglove case as it appears to be scratching the back case of my vibrant. i had the same exact issue on bodyglove case with kickstand on my hd2.
.
i let my sister have my bodyglove case. i actually didn't have a problem with the weaknesses of the black mesh case since the makers of it actually put some soft padding within the case to prevent scratches on the battery/back cover of the vibrant.

Got it on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/galaxy-s-I9000-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item2a0a8f0118

I think that seller was selling 3 diff colors; black, white, and pink(?). I bought the black one 3 wks ago and recieved it about a wk ago. Initially, I thought that it was going to be shiny hard plastic case but to my pleasant surprise, it wasn't. The exterior is covered in a thin layer of hard rubber, covering the black hard shiny plastic underneath, while the inside of it is slightly padded. It looks a lot better in person than in pics.
Is the kickstand serving its purpose? Hell yea, it is...it makes watching movies on my dope SAMOLED screen that much more awesome The hard rubber makes for a good grip so it won't easily slip out of your palms like it sometimes would w/out it and it gives the phone an overall slick/cool (IMO) look. The only downside so far is that I'm getting some very small worn out spots where the hard rubber has rubbed off but it's not a big deal though.
Pics or it didn't happen, you say? Well, check 'em out !

Nillkin Dynamic Fashion Hard Case Review

Just thought I'd post my opinion on my latest case and throw up a few pictures for you guys to have a look at..
This is my second case for my S3, the first one being a FONEM8 Hard Slim Shell off eBay (www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140764120157) and while I was happy with the fit and style the rubberised texture attracted dirt like you wouldn't believe. In the end I had a grotty off white case that wouldn't even wash clean You can see what I mean in the 3rd picture.
Off I went looking for something similar in fit but with a gloss/shiny finish so it didn't end up all mucky and found the Nillkin Dynamic Fashion Hard Case (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230807084265) paid my £10 and waited for the postman. It arrived fairly quickly from China and I'm pretty happy with it. The rainbow effect that can be seen in the pictures is fairly subtle and can't really be seen in the pictures, its most noticeable in natural light.
Here's the pictures anyway (http://imgur.com/a/Hy2gp)

Those are really nice, I have the black textured one and it feels like it will protect your phone. Also goes over the bezel of the phone enough that you can leave it face down.

I bought one but didnt like it, i didnt like that theres little to no protection on the corners of the phone ,i bought a samsung vented case instead and like that better

The corners and top/bottom are a tad exposed, for me its trying to find happy medium between protection and keeping the device feeling slick and lightweight, can be tricky
I tend to go through cases quite alot (finished with about 8/9 for my iPhone) so I'll do a thread like this for each one I buy so others have a decent(ish) reference :good:

Here is mine...

Good.

Video Review: Tridea Bumper Case!

Hey guys,
Got my hands on the Tridea Tedoori Bumper case, this is a TPU bumper that wraps around the sides and corners of your Galaxy S III to provide a tight fitting but slim case alternative. As a bumper, it leaves the front and back exposed, however you can pair this case up with a set of skins and have maximum scratch protection.
Check out the full review below for more info:

another nice video mate, keep going

Thanks for the review. The one major flaw of bumper cases on a phone like the Galaxy S III is the speaker volume is greatly lowered when the phone is lying face up on a flat surface. Due to the location of the speaker, the sound waves get trapped under the phone since the bumper case basically forms a seal against whatever flat surface the phone is lying on. I have a Belkin bumper case that looks really great, but I'm going to have to switch to another design because of the severe volume reduction (I don't want to leave the phone face down all the time). I would estimate the volume is lowered by about 80%, enough to miss hearing a phone call or notification if I'm in the next room or something.

nice review, wanted to order this actually, still thinking because of the bumper style exposed back , will be great if its a normal cover up casing

Thanks, it isn't a bad case as long as you know what you're getting into. I'm rocking it around my house because it's comfortable to hold and don't have to worry about dropping it.

You plan on doing one for the beetle case?

I whole heartedly agree. It hit the recycle bin within 5 minutes of trying it out. I recommend the Rock Quicksand case to anyone looking for a quality case.

Spigen SGP Ultra Flip Leather Cover

Hello all, just received my SGP Ultra Flip Cover in "blue green" today. Will post photos tonight.
http://www.spigen.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-case-ultra-flip-series.html
The case feels very nice. The front cover sits nice and flat when you flip it to the back. Remains comfortable to hold when the case is open. I carry my phone in my front pocket most of the time, so i like the added protection the cover gives you. Still waiting on my curved screen protector too, so once i get that i can let anyone know if there is any screen peel from the case.
Let me know if you have any questions!

I'm debating between this one and the Samsung Original Flip case. I think both of them look SOOO amazing and having a hard time choosing between the two. Please post up some photos of your case and phone once it arrives. Thanks!

This one is an actual case though Partly the reason I returned my original flip cover from samsung, but it was so damn sexy.

Pictures are up. I hope they came out well enough.

Hows the durability of this case? Ive had the official samsung flip case for a little less than a month now and its already peeling at the edges. i like having the flip cover but need something that will last.

I've had mine since late November and its getting to the point where I need to replace it. On the back the blue leather is peeling at all the corners, the edges of the cover are all frayed, and on the inside the fold where you fold it behind to use the phone is pretty grimy and stained. The inside felt material is too light of a color, so every bit of dirt you get on it shows. I'm a pretty messy person though so your mileage may vary.
If you are a tidy person this might work for you but I'm pretty rough with my phones. Also, the case won't protect your phone if you drop it on the top or bottom edges as it doesn't cover those sides. Lastly, it does add a bit of bulk to what is a very slim phone. Might as well get an otterbox as this point...

[UPDATED] A slightly different slim metal bumper case, working magnetic cradle port.

Hi guys, I have just bought a slim metal bumper for my Z1. Here is the link if you want it too ==> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Luxury-De...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item2c76d1781e
----------------------------------------​It is different from both this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2609711&page=2 and this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527493 , since the first one is a LOVE ME! model (personally don't like it, sorry) and the second one I don't know, it looks pretty cool but the owner said that the magnetic charger needs to be cut in order to make the phone charge properly.
----------------------------------------​
Actually mine is better, with this one you have still at least 1mm of gap between a flat surface and the front/back of your phone, there are some little silicon felt to grip the phone inside the bumper and protect it from self-scratch.
Last for the best : all ports are made for our phones functions BUT! My magnetic cable is working without any modifications or cuts, I just have to plug and there it goes!
I don't know if my cable is different from the Sony one or if it is a stock Sony one actually (it was branded Sony DK31 magnetic cable so who knows).
I can recommand it without reserve, the seller is trustworthy and shipped it really fast, 5 days from UK to France. The bumper itself is very light but still feels sturdy. Vastly positive impression.
Pictures are here !

Here you can see the phone being charged.
I think you guys might like it too. Please let people know if you buy it and your experience with it.

This case looks good but will make volume button harder to press especially camera button.

Hav exactly this one...bought on aliexpress...its pretty good and all, sturdy and with rubber on the internal side to protect the phone from shocks, but i hav to say, makes the phone a little bit too big for my taste, when i take it out the case i remember how beautiful this phone is...and its too big to fit in my magnetic dock

I have the same metal case in black:

This is true for the volume button, when you want to find them on the go it is harder to press, but the camera button is not this hard to press, I was surprised.

You're right! Our phones are so beautiful when naked. But I don't trust the skinomi protection, it cannot withstand falls I think so it might be the "best compromise" for us.

Thank you for your review, now those are detailled pictures! I didn't even think of shooting the locking mecanism and the rubbers.
