[Q] Has anyone come across a slim case with a hand strap? - Galaxy S III Accessories

Its getting into festival season and I need a way of securing my S3 to my body. The S2 had a great feature being the hand strap hole built in. unfortunately the S3 does not have this. So I am looking for a slim case that has a strap or has a way of putting a strap on that I can tie to me. I have seen various bulky wallet style cases with a handstrap, but its a little too bulky for me. Any one got any ideas?

the official samsung slim case has holes to fit a lanyard or strap etc, and it is SUPER slim, s3 still feels great afterwards. It seems to come in a pack of two, different patterns on each one.

i just got it yesterday from the Samsung store here in hong kong for only $88 HKD!

The Rearth case comes with a spot for a lanyard as well as a lanyard

MOFI Case

I tried 3 or 4 different cases/pouches for my phone and have settled down with MOFI Pouch from Amazon, its the kangaroo series, costs 3 pounds but very good quality and looks expensive, I ordered black and brown. Good thing about this pouch is that it has got soft velvet type material inside that cleans the screen every time you pull it out. Search for the following term, cant post a link sorry.Hope this helps someone.

is the pouch just for the headphones (to store) or are the headphones connected to the phone in the pouch ?
Waiting for a black one, it thought it looked the best. Really like the idea of the phone getting cleaned every time it gets pulled out of the pouch. Using an Android OEM pouch in the meantime, which is not that bad either.
ehh
I picked up one of these MOFI kangeroo cases as well, but gave up on it after a day of use.
The inside lining does clean the screen most of the time, but the rest of the case is the issue. The cloth exterior is extremely...well, grippy, meaning when you try to pull out the case in your jeans pocket, the pocket lining gets dragged out with the case. Its also too furry for me, because the last thing I want is to be sweating all over my case when summer hits in a month's time.
I'd say that this case is great for those who keep their phone in a briefcase/handbag/backpack etc, but the useability drops significantly if you are the type to put it in the front pocket of your jeans.
Anyone tried one of these leather case from mofi? seems decent and the seller said it fits well with the phone.
The OEM android pouch is nice too but it takes ages to ship to the UK.

Yeah, I have both of the Mofi cases and IMO the Kangaroo offers more protection than the Lux. The Lux is very thin and flimsy but I prefer it's look and feel so I use that one. In regards to the fit it hangs out the top of the pouch by about 1-2mm whilst the Kangaroo encases it completely.
I got this "Advanced Mofi Leather Galaxy S2 SII i9100 Case Pouch UK" it's the same as the Lux but a different design.

Hey thanks for sharing your experience=)
pity that the Lux one doesn't cover up to the top.. really like the look of it but not sure if the quality is good enough to last for months.
Hi guys
I use the official gs2 case, it does leave the top and bottom exposed but I also have the HTCHD7 leather pouch and combine nicely together ;-)
I received my Official Samsung Case today, the vent one, and with it on it just fits inside the Kangaroo but doesn't fit the Lux or Advanced pouch. I just thought I would post in case anyone was thinking of pairing the two.
Regards,
Chris
Someone on another forum said that the Mofi cases made them feel sick because of the feel of the fabric.

WTF???
I'm using the Mofi case I used with my SGS, about 1mm of the phone sticks out. I don't like the Kangaroo ones so if I can find the regular Mofi for the SGS II I'll probably buy it.
edit: Found one and ordered it.

Apparently it's made of some material that feels wierd in the hand or something.
Well I'm holding the one for the SGS and it doesn't feel weird. Maybe the person has hairy palms or something.
I got mine today the kangaroo series. It does feel weird in a way. The fur seems like it will get dirty with all the dust around where I live. Before that I was using the stock Sony Xperia ARC stock pouch which the SGS2 fits nicely in.
I didn't know that 1-2 mm of the SGS2 sticks out of the Lux leather, shame I already ordered it. but gotta say that the kangaroo series is nice despite that it will be a dust/dirt magnet due to its fur.
i want to buy a kangaroo pouch, but i live in chile.. and its very expensive, who can send me one please?? ill pay u, but to get it in my home from amazon ill have to pay like $40

I too own both Mofi pouches, but I whilst I agree the Lux version looks better, I prefer and use the Kangeroo pouch on a daily basis! I feared from the pic on ebay that the Lux pouch may not fully cover the phone and that is the case: somewhat defeating the object of having a pouch imho.
Also of note is that I didn't really want the extra (kangeroo) pouch for headphones or whatever, and some on ebay look like they don't have it, which is what I ordered. Sadly when my pouch arrived it was of the kangeroo style. Whilst I don't as yet use the pouch for any accessories or anything, I can confirm it doesn't really add any bulk, and if anything adds extra cushioning and offers more peace of mind in the event of a drop!
As a general note I just want to say I prefer to use pouches for general protection on mobiles because why would you want to spoil the lovely thinness of the SGS2 with a bulky gel case? Yes, it doesn't protect against a drop whilst in use, but I have insurance!
The Mofi Kangaroo pouch get's my vote!
just ordered from the amazon.ca to muy courrier on usa to get it to chile... it will be little expensive, but i like it

Is it possible to put earphones into that case? or is it dangerous for the phone/not enough space?
Do you mind taking some real pics of it? cause really the ebay pics seem so fake.

Belt pouch

I have a diztonic case for my nexus. Is there a belt pouch compatible with the phone with the case on it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
It will fit into the Maxpedition 5" Clip-On Phone / Radio Holster. It is a bit pricey and a bit rugged (so not so good with a smart suit or tux!) but it will hold your phone securely.
Junk the metal belt clip because it can pull out. Thread your belt through the 3 Molle straps horizontally or make a belt loop from a Maxpedition 3" Tactie (Google instructions on using Tacties) or a Malice clip. I use this holster for my Galaxy S2 with a Tactie and it's totally secure.
One point to consider is that the corners of the phone are exposed but I find that the phone cover protects those.

Happy to help. Bear in mind that the 5" holster is really 5" tall and a Nexus is 5.33", so you'll have a little bit of phone protruding. Personally I think that's perfectly fine and gives you something to get hold of to pull the phone out, but I should probably have made that clear. The retaining strap is plenty long enough to accommodate the extra length.
I bought 2 of these for my SGS2 (black and khaki) and I love them. They're totally secure so long as you junk that crappy metal belt clip.
Please post back your opinion once you've tried yours.
Just received mine last week. It's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately I didn't have any 5" tac ties left to get it on my bag. Ordered those, should have them today sometime.
Overall I don't really have anything to complain about other than wishing I had a way for molle to be both secure and also easy to remove when I don't need it

I believe you only need a 3" Tactie.

Have you tried Malice clips? They're easier to thread and to undo providing you have a suitable tool handy. I personally don't like them because I find them big, clumsy and inflexible. They make horrid belt loops but they do hold stuff to a pack more tightly than a Tactie and won't ever come undone by accident.
If I don't mind something swinging about a bit I just fasten it with a carabiner. That's the ultimate quick-release Molle connector. :laugh:

Slim book-style case with built in stand?

Okay, so I'm wondering if this exists: a book style case for the Galaxy Tab that doesn't add a lot of bulk, but does fold over to allow it to be used as a stand.
I have a GTab 10.1 LTE, and a XOOM 4G, and I'm trying to decide which to keep. I prefer the size and weight of the Galaxy Tab, but the XOOM came with a really great case that doubles as a stand. The Galaxy Tab came with something similar, but it's so thick and sloppy that I might as well be carrying the XOOM for all the weight savings I actually get. Is there anything equivalent for the Galaxy Tab that doesn't make it chunky?

Yeha, go for the official one. A wonderful case - Adds almost no bulk, fits perfectly and its very high quality. I love mine, and it was worth every cent.
I use the same one , but

I'm using the same original case from Samsung, my tab is white and here comes the problem. The internal lining for the case causes black color on the back of my tab which is very hard to remove. I use my original perfume with high quality cloth and pushes very hard to remove this coloration from the stupid case.

I use this case, its some fake leathery material, holds the tab very nice and tight, everything fits perfectly, and its pretty slim for the material its is
Closes with a magnet, which is unfindable on the cover xD
and it can be used as a stand, very nice. and cheap!

+1 on this case. Best one on the market. Its a generic branded by several sellers, so you might search to find it a bit cheaper.
I'm using a "smart cover" style case. not really versatile or transformable, but i do like the one posted above. looks like a great stand for desk/table use. i might have to order that

What case are you guys looking at for your arriving GN2?

I thought i'd ask the AT&T folks, the international forum is too large and impersonal.
Im looking at this one for myself: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nillkin-Mat...841&pid=100011&prg=1005&rk=1&sd=140855149689&
I got that one in white. Waiting on the Marble White version to be available for AT&T.
The ONE thing nice about not having the phone in hands yet is it has given me time to get some goodies on order with cheap shipping. I have four cases headed my way (yes idle hands). As you will see from my selections, I like cases that are TPU or similar for absorbing shock. I don't like very bulky cases.
Yello TPU from Amazon

Gray X-line that seems to be everywhere on the web

Then the Flexshield cases. I think one of these will be my everyday case. I couldn't decide between transparent or black so I ordered both. They come from mobilefun.com in the UK and since I had so much time to wait (November 9th or so) I used the cheap $5 shipping and it should be here by then.

I got that nilikin case (I have a tmob with att sim). Its even more slippery than the phone itself which I don't like. It looks good though.

I was going to get the Nilikin case but decide to get this in black instead.

Still haven't decided if I am getting the Note yet, I have SGS3 and its great, with a nice strong seido case (extended battery active) it isn't too big. I feel like having a big case on the note will be too much. I'm in the army and the SGS3 barely fits in my ankle pockets now, Only option for the Note would be in my cargo pockets and it might break in there...
i am looking into the Nilikin case atleast until there is an otterbox commuter for the note 2
Case I ordered
This is the case I ordered from Korea.
1) some sort of a metallic material bumper case (black)
2) some sort of a metallic material battery cover (black)
and its going to be going on the Titanium Grey colored version of the note 2
by the way the second picture is the metal battery cover by itself.
I got this clear hard shell case at Amazon for $10.99.
Trident. Just have to baby it for a month or so. :good:
Ive got the Nilikin cases in white and black. Not a fan of the texture. But it was the only thing available that was decent at the time. Im waiting for the Elago slim cases to come out which i have on my original Note.
I just ordered this case of ebay, not bad for the price and it looks half decent. I will post pictures once i get it and the phone(still waiting for rogers to ship)
edit: search the popular bidding sight for " Samsung Galaxy Note2 II N7100 2in1 Black TPU Metallic Red Hybrid Case+Screen"
hey guys i got a quick question im currently married to my skyrocket...but im leaving her for this beautful note 2. something i came across that was rather annoying with the skyrocket when it came to cases is that the phone style changed based on the carriers. e.g the speaker orientation on the sgs2 hercules vs the sgs2 skyrocket where different. even tho they are the same phone specs wise. is this the same here since all the cases linked here are for the n7100 and our phones are the n7137m and n7147m or something to that effect thanks for your replies in advance
The note 2 as far as dimensions go are the same across all models. So all cases will work

i also bought the ZAGG body shield
Boxwave case with the integrated stand. I have the black one on my current Note and it works great. The stand isn't super strong (can't expect it to be on a slim plastic case) but it's built well and holds the phone well also.
The case isn't available yet so keeping an eye out.

Protective Cases and covers in regard to the S-Pen

Went comes to any of my android devices, I am partial to cases that protect rather than covers that are thin and pretty. For S3 I have the Poetic TurtleSkin Galaxy Tab S3 9.7 silicon cover and am happy with it. The only drawback I see is that it doesn't have an S-Pen holder. In my last tablet (10.1 2014 edition, the pen could be stored on the tablet). What I am looking for here are solutions, hacks or hints that allow me to store my S-Pen with/or on my silicon encased Samsung Galaxy S3 at all times when I'm not using it. Any ideas?
I bought a Microsoft surface pen loop, which sticks to the case.

I'm buying a MoKo "Defender" case because I'm paranoid of actually dropping the blasted thing and breaking the back panel. Not sure if it has an accessory for S-Pen but guess will know when it arrives.

Got this case in today. Will post photos later.
The plastics are a mix of shiney/slippery surface on the kickstand (ugly implementation but I didn't buy it for that), it's not as "rough" textured or rubbery like the photo would suggest (even the sides aren't). It will slide around but not as much as using it bareback glass. Might wind up putting felt padding on it. The screen protector uses that glue-snot that's commonly used on non-permanent labels and whatnot, so it was easy to remove. I'm not really going to complain about a cheap case that sorta-kinda copies a design Otterbox would have used (and not have to pay $100 for it).
Oh, and it doesn't have felt padding on the inside like the folio case (doesn't need it) or an S-pen thingy (need to get your own tethering device).

I know I didn't really have a chance to review/photograph this thing (I wish I had) but it was actually quite rugged and big. I'd buy it again for the Tab S4 once I decide whether I'll buy that or not -- covers on the headphone and USB-C ports are decent, and better material than Otterbox uses. Nice soft insulator on the inside if you do drop it, and fits tightly on with no slipping. It did not block any part of the screen. The photos aren't accurate since it's clearly a computer image but the back stand was more a glossy plastic and the case itself was proper black not grey like in the photo. I find these cases with stands to be lacking. I wish these case manufacturers would make a hinge so the whole back folds out for lap use since the majority of what I'd like to do with this is on transit, or in bed watching TV or playing games on. The hinge felt a little cheap to boot, as though it would break after a certain amount of insertions back into the frame.
