Cases finally showing up on eBay

I've been searching every couple days since the phone was released only to find the shields, glare protectors, and skins... Finally they have the low cost cases that many users have come to love...
Judging by the looks on some, I'm not saying they are grade A, but having bought some for past phones, they are comparable to some of the $30 cases sold at some retailers
Example: cgi.ebay.com/Red-Hard-Snap-Case-Samsung-Captivate-AT-T-/270618346984?pt=PDA_Accessories {Sorry can't post links}

This is the same case (and seller) I have except mine is black. It looks, works, and feels great... Though it is a little hard to take off once it's on.

whats that case material called thats like not the rubbery silicone, but not a hard case? Its like a soft plastic that doesn't have a rubber texture.

if the material you're describing is what I'm imagining (and as counter-intuitive as it sounds) it's rubberized crystal cases. (like the one in the first link)
it doesn't feel "rubbery", it feels smooth and soft-textured. nothing at all like the rubber you'd find on a shoe or tire.

I believe you are thinking of TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethanes)? It's generally a material that is flexible but very smooth, and usually translucent.
Unfortunately I don't think there are any TPU cases yet for Captivate, but I think they are coming (they have them for the standard Galaxy S / Vibrant), but that's what I am waiting for as well.

Per Wikipedia, they have several trade names (but seems mostly from Pharma)
ELASTOLLAN (BASF & Elastogran)
PEARLTHANE (Merquinsa)
DESMOPAN (Bayer)
PELLETHANE (Dow Chemical) Sold to Lubrizol.
ESTANE (Lubrizol)
IROGRAN (Huntsman)
But in terms of cases, the only trade name I know of is that I believe Amzer calls their line of TPU cases "Luxe." Other places usually refer to the cases either as TPU or "Flexi Skin."
I'm personally waiting on the "Luxe" line from Amzer to be released at the end of the month for the Captivate.

I got the black version of this case and I'd say it's by far more attractive and more protective than the overpriced crap they have at the AT&T store.
I attached some pictures. Yeah, I rigged up a cradle for the phone out of some large zip-ties, and I must say, it works great. Don't be dissin'!

Yep, that's exactly the same one I have. The one thing I would say to notice about this is, that without a screen protector, and if you keep it in your pocket... this case just seems to be a "force dirt to collect in certain places" device. (Keep it in your pocket for a day or two and then take it off and see how much dirt is chilling out under your case)

Thats the one I want as well. Mainly cuz its got some cushion like the silicone ones but doesn't stick in your pocket like the silicone ones...
Only problem I have with it is the pattern on it. Its a nice pattern, but coming from the world of bberry, its been done and over done. I feel it might look a little busy with the translucency/being able to see all the original case detail under it.

any private messages with links to a case would be much appreciated. My captivate is due to touchdown on Monday.

Amzer Luxe style gel cases are available now at fommy dot com.
I originally owned the Body Glove, but was somewhat disappointed while testing GPS fixes to learn that it actually reduced GPS reception. I'm hoping the translucent/non-black Luxe will fit the bill.

Is there another place I can get the hard snap on cases other than ebay? Keep trying to catch them with some in stock at the store and they never have them...and I'm sure they are like $30 there...

For those looking for a silicon case

I am very happy with this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350378076024&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_2331wt_911
It fits very well!

Can you post pics? Is it a really snug fit or is it loose? I want a really snug fitting case, I hate the really loose fitting cases.

It fits as snug as a silicon case will fit. I usually am not a huge fan of silicon cases but this one is nice. I prefer no designs on it and this one has none.

Yeah, you can get think of it as a soft rubber case. From my understanding this type of material is good for absorbing impact (i.e. a drop).

thanks for letting us know!
quick qs....does it have the cutout for the power button? I see a cutout at the top left corner and i believe thats where the power button for the overseas samsung galaxy is...
edit: wait, i think i do see the cutout can anyone confirm?

Its not a cutout for the power button, its a molded cover. The power button is very easy to use with this case.

He has it relisted. Just click on his store icon. Should be listed under new arrivals. I just ordered one.

Have one and have no complaints. Well worth the $6

How is it for taking in and out of your pocket? Does it grab? What about collecting Lint?

Being a soft silicon, it will grab your pocket to some extent depending upon the pocket...and it does collect dust & lint, although a lot less than I expected and it brushes clean quite easily.

I got mine today, and its perfect. A nice snug fit that doesnt feel too gummy or add much bulk at all.

agreed, Got mine today and it was well worth it.

Can't someone make a thin case for a thin phone?

First off - let me disclaimer this:
Some people want the Fort Knox of cases. They are clumsy with their phone. They've experienced dropping their phone several feet to the ground. They want impact protection. The G-Shock of phone cases. And they aren't afraid to carry something the size of a brick with the appearance of something from Toys 'R Us in trade for that protection. No problem. Obviously there's no shortage of THOSE cases.
My problem is that there ONLY seem to be cases made for those kinds of people.
I'm looking for a case that more or less barely wraps the phone - not for impact resistance, but abrasion resistance, light protection from scratches. I keep my phone in my pocket 100% of the time, and I'm more than respectfully careful when it's out - call me paranoid. But I know from experience with [all my other phones that I've never bought a case for] that light scratches can appear over time.
One of the BEST things about the SGS2 is the thin profile of the phone - and I'm already disappointed to have lost 1mm of that thinness, but willing to live with it. With a phone this size already, I'm not willing to lose millimeters more. It's supposed to be a thin phone.
Jokes about Apple lawsuits aside, I wish there were a case more akin to the iPhone 4's bumper case - something that offered just minimal protection - when setting the phone down, perhaps a little impact protection of the phone were to fall - but not taking away from the overall thin profile of the phone with an enveloping, thick back panel. Hell, if I eventually had to replace the battery door, I can do that for less than the cost of a new case anyway.
Are there any cases for guys who want thin? Who don't want it for impact protection, just simple, pocketable, wear protection against minor scratches and the like? And - can that case look classy?
I've only seen this one, but it's for the regular SGSII, not the sprint version:
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...-S-II-Barely-There-Brushed-Aluminum-Cases.asp
Even that wraps fully around the phone and adds thickness... it merely offers the promise of being thin.
What's the thinnest option out there, if impact resistance weren't a concern?

I got my tpu case on with out the back battery cover, and it feels fairly thin, and will still provide some protection. The case is without the back cover stay flush with the camera. I am going to order another one with matte finish.

The TPU's are good and cheap too. A good holdover until the barelythere comes out...which I predict will be within a couple weeks.

Case-mate - Brushed Aluminum Barely There Case, Epic Touch 4G

The TPU-cases are really nice, and I was surprised that it didn't add much thickness at all. I did post a review here, along with some pictures.

The carbon kickstand case you can get at the store is perfect imo. The phone feels no bigger with it on.

I wish Rearth (http://www.rearthusa.com/) would make a case for the ET4G, but last I emailed them they weren't intererested at this time since A) it wasn't out yet, and B) they didn't anticipate high demand for it.
The reviews on the international SII cases were really good too :-/

How's that sprint kickstand case? Is it the fold into a triangle kick stand or an actual bar that pops up? It looks similar to my buddy's trianglish plastic kickstand case on his tmobile GSI vibrant and that thing is a piece of junk. Fits the phone like it was chisselled out of plastic, looks like $hit.
For $30 it better be sexy.

Not a triangle but a little wider than most bar kickstands I've seen. My gripe with that case is it doesn't cover the top and bottom of the phone, it fits more like a holster than a case. And for $30 thats IMO unacceptable.
I'm waiting for seidio to make a case for this phone, loved the innocase I have on my hero and it wasnt very thick at all.

How about a stick on skin if you want the thinnest "cover" possible?

I'm using a gloss-black TPU at the moment (and loving it) but I'm really considering one of those kickstands. I've put my phone in one a few times. It looks good but for the money it feels really inadequate.

Thanks for all the good suggestions...
I did actually read that review of the TPU case... one of my coworkers has one on his 3D. In his case, it covered the camera hump and made the phone thinner - the implementation on this phone seems much better.
For the money, it's tempting to at least as a stop gap to use for a few months to see what becomes available - or I'll just use none as a stop gap, like I've done with all my other phones. This one just seems like a phone worthy of babying more than I already do baby my lifeline.
A skin... I'm not aware of any, but I'm initially cringing thinking of what kind of vinyl wrap that may imply... cartoon characters, immature sayings, dragons and swords, flames, or what? Maybe something that's just a texture or color?

There are a number of companies that make removable, transparent "full body" skins. I've had good luck with both Skinomi and Zagg protectors in the past.

Just emailed support to ask with a link to the item listed; I should hear back in next couple of days. From the listing, it looks like the kind of site that sells to 3rd party vendors, and since the packaging says Sprint branded, I suspect this is meant for non-corporate Sprint stores. Just a guess, but I will update if I hear anything back.
PS I bought the kickstand case and I kinda hated it, returned it within the hour... felt flimsy and overpriced, and it was more of a bad holster than a case; barely held the phone in and the kickstand was very tough to un-clip. I never say a product is not for anyone, but it certainly wasn't for me.

I'm with you, this phone is too expensive to damage. I've been searching everyday and have yet to find anything. I usually prefer Ballistics' cases but I doubt they will be making one for this phone so it's back to the drawing board. I'm also wondering if zagg will be making a screen protector for this device. Don't know what I can expect with such a massive device. Maybe turn to the manufacturers of the best tablet cases... I'll post here when I find some cases.

I think the case of expansys is sleek. It's not making the note any thicker.
Hope they got variety of colors though..

samsung flipover
Samsung will come with a flipover, the back of the flipover will replace the original back of the note. So the note will only become a few mm thicker

I'm also looking to get the Samsung flipover cover when it becomes available. The only problem is the side of the Note remains unprotected, I'm thinking getting a gel case and trim off the left hand side so it will fit togther with the flipover cover.

Meanwhile, here is a really nice durable skin that is already available on Amazon I have used the Skinomi on my previous phones and it covers the phone nicely. All the cutouts are aligned and it barely feels like there is anything on it. Btw, the carbon fiber look makes it look really mean and clean. oh another thing, it's lifetime warranty too.

If they release a case like this for the Note I think it might be worth a try. The kickstand could be useful.

I guess there no bumper case in the market

I'm looking for a bumper case to show off my skin as well, but I haven't had much luck in finding one. I'm going to keep looking around online, but if anyone knows where to get a bumper case like this, please share!

Settled on this one because no major manufacturers have put one out for the device yet.

Looks nice, I might have to pick this one up too. It's not my ideal case, but at least it'll keep my phone protected until I can find a bumper.

Upstate: Received on Sunday from Amazon. I'm ​happy with this case. It does what I wanted, which was protect the front and rear glass areas from contacting surfaces when I put the device down. The raised rubberized black lines keep the phone up away from the clear cover. The holes in the clear cover for USB, mic, stereo jack (bottom), and whatever the tiny hole next to the camera is on the back all line up perfectly. I like the bumpers on the corners too. Hopefully I won't have reason to test them, but they look capable. :good:

Okay so now I'm pissed because my fave case manufacturer UAG came out with a new model for my phone just days after I settled on something less.

Yeah not a bumper case but since I replied to this thread I figured it was the best place to whine about it.

I also picked up this case. It is quite good, nice and slim with solid side grips. Having a clear back allows my Skinnova skin to show through which is cool. It fits tightly around the phone and feels quite sturdy. I'd definitely recommend this if you're looking for something close to a bumper case. I think this might be as close as we're going to get for this device.

i didnt receive my g5+ yet but i found this and i think it looks awesome.

Wow, you found one! This might be the very first bumper case for the Moto G5 Plus. I think I might order it and see how it looks.

Will do! I just ordered it yesterday, the total came out to around $20 USD. It looks like they 3D print the cases individually, so it won't be shipping out until Aug 31st.

I just got the bumper case from Shapeways today. First impressions - it's just ok, nothing spectacular. It feels like a $5 -10 bumper case, not a $20 one. The fit is a bit loose and not as sung as I would like. The grip is really solid though, and I like the texture. Overall I would say this bumper case isn't worth the money. But if you REALLY want a slim case, I would say go for it. I'm not sure if we'll ever get a different bumper case for this phone, so this might be your only option (at least right now).
