I have recently purchased a new GN and I am waiting for it to arrive. I wanted to go ahead and buy a case for it(thinking hard about S-Line TPU Wave) but I have a quick question. The S-Line Waves on Amazon all say(Verizon) or (Verizon Wireless) beside them. Are the dimensions different for GSM/CDMA phones? Or will any Galaxy Nexus case fit any Galaxy Nexus? Thanks. Also, any S-Line TPU Wave case owners care to offer an opinion? I saw the review here on the sticky, and it seems like exactly what I want.

The Verizon/Sprint version is about 0.5 millimeters thicker than the GSM version, but generally generic Galaxy Nexus cases will fit on both versions. I found this version on Amazon, I think it is the one you are referring to: (just copy the following and search for it on amazon, XDA won't let me post links)
BasalCase(TM) Samsung Galaxy Nexus TPU S-Line Wave Case - Smoke [BasalCase Retail Packaging]
The description says that this case is for the i9250, which is the code for the GSM version, and the phone shown in the picture appears to be a GSM Nexus, so I think it would be a good fit for your new phone.
Thanks so much!

Hi Guys,
Just a quick question. I have a very limited access (well, actually I have NO access) to any case for this phone in my country but I would like to protect my device somehow. Has anyone tried to put this phone into the case dedicated for original Samsung Galaxy S I9000? I know that the shape is a bit different but I wonder if there is any chance that cases for i9000 will fit Captivate as well?

No u can't use .........i9000 fits perfectly for vibrant but it is entirely different to captivate .....only option use some kind of pouch or something like that .....
akarshfrevr is right. I9000 case doesn't fit Cappy at all. I've tried my Cappy with some of my brother's I9000 cases but they didn't work out well.
This TPU gel skin http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Black-TPU-Sk...294862?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c58ea0d4e works very well for Captivate and is very cheap. Combined with a crystal clear screen protector for few more bucks gives the phone very good overall protection. I carry mine in my pocket, often together with my car keys. All I need to do is just to replace the screen protector every once in a while. Not a single scratch on the body nor on the screen.
Has anyone found a holster that would work with the One Plus One. Having some trouble finding one.

Did you try ones for the Note 3? They're about the same size.
I have a note 3 one works fine..

Out of the ones people have tried how has it fit? After looking through a bunch of shops where i live i picked up a case from the Verizon store and it fits well. The problem is i plan on getting the Diztronic case when released, so that could pose a problem.
Here it is in case anyone is curious:

Hello,
I recently picked up a Tab S2 T817 from T-Mobile. I'm looking for a case, but it seems all I can find are cases for model T815. Does anyone know if the T815 cases also fit the T817 model?
Thanks in advance!

Fit should be no problem. The only differentiating factor is 9.7" vs 8.0"
Btw, I also have a Tmo 9.7" 817T and 3 cases selected only considering size and style. Each fits perfectly... just thought I'd add some experience to back up my comment above
All 9.7 cases should fit the same, the hardware design of the tab S2 is universal.
Hello everybody.
I own an original Galaxy Tab S, which I use at work (I'm a teacher). And I also own a Tab S2, which I use at home.
The thing is that, while the Tab S is perfectly capable of doing everything I need, it's, with it case, much heavier than the S2, and when I use it while standing for a while I get tired.
I really LOVE the case I bought a year ago for the S2. It was called "Origami Smart Case Cover for Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 T810". It's incredibly light, but I don't know what brand it is, it has the letters FC on it.
I got another origami case for the Tab S from Roocase, but it's much heavier.
The thing is, I just bought a Tab S3 and would like to know if anybody knows of a really light case for it.
Thanks in advance.
Give this a try : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUhkBIBYEIc and https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWHM7N...=1492283382&sr=1-10&keywords=tab+s3+case&th=1
From what i read the lightest on is their own ~50$ cover , but it offers less protection. If you need some more protection then take a look at that amazon link.
I got this one
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MV1CX4I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'm looking for something similar that can hold my SPEN.

Thanks everyone. When you get your cases it would be really helpful if you could write about your impressions. I'm mainly interested on the weight: I don't care for having a really light and thin tablet and then putting it in a case that doubles it weight and width.
By the way, I realized that I could look for "fc cases" in Google and found the webpage that manufactures (or sells) the case I had for the Tab S2. Forefront Cases. However, they don't have anything for the S3.
I sent them an e-mail and got an error: their inbox is full. I tried calling them this morning and the call went straight to voice mail. I've sent them a twit, but their account has been inactive for five or six months. I'm starting to worry that they may have gone out of business.
If anybody knows a way to contact them and try to find out if they are making another origami case for the Tab S3, I'd be really grateful.

Thanks for the link, I was thinking of getting that before I got the one I listed before your post. My one gripe is how the SPEN clip would rub against the screen of the tablet, even though I have a tempered glass on mine, I'm afraid it will scratch. Guess, an option would to put some type of tape to prevent scratches.

Sadly the pen pouch interferes with the cover when folded into a triangle to prop up the tablet at an angle. The cover does not fold neatly into a triangle.

I know this is an old thread but had to ask: Aren't the dimensions of the S2 and the S3 basically identical? Can't you just use the S2 case on your S3?

Thanks a lot for your answer. I couldn't try it, since I sold the S2 with the case before the S3 arrived. But I think there'd be two main problems: muffled speakers and the fact that the S2 is 10% thinner than the S3.

Of course you're right. I'm guessing the speaker issue will be a real one for almost any case, even though some might be loose / roomy enough to make a snug fit.
Did you ever find your light case? I'm looking for one now. I'm thinking of using this (with a screen protector):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XWTKMR3
Or this, which I'd buy but for the fact that many people say the smart function doesn't work:
https://www.amazon.com/Lightweight-Semi-transparent-Samsung-9-7-Inch-SM-T820/dp/B00UP37UKK/
Hmmm... But since I have fingerprint login maybe the smart cover issue won't be a problem for me? I don't want to leave the tablet unlocked.
Also: I was trying to find a case with a built in pen loop / holder but options are limited so my plan is to buy one where I can attach a couple of these on the same side to hold it in place (like on my Surface Pro 3):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N8X33Y9/
I might even carry it in a pouch like this, and get some simple silicon / gel skin for minimal protection (and risk the damage if dropped):

Cheap and light enough. Nobody will mistake it for a high quality cover, but auto wake on works.
I really, really miss the origami cover, 'though. It was much more stable and you could have 3 different angles instead of just two.

Yeah I had added the S2 origami to my cart a couple of days ago but given the possible problems you raised I'm not going to buy it. But I'm glad to have thought this through a little more because I'm now thinking I won't use the smart function much and so that shouldn't be a dealbreaker.
I have had this case for my Tab since day 1 and love it. You can put the S-pen in the elastic loop if you really want to, but doesn't provide a whole lot of protection for it. The case does have the smart features for the screen wake built in and I have used these cases on my other tablets with no issues. Nice and lightweight and you have multiple angles you can set it at or just lay it flat.

Thanks. That looks like a good option (7.4 oz weight is okay).
I got a keyboard case bundled, but don't plan to use the keyboard that much. So I wanted a secondary, lightest possible option to use just for reading / markup. I went with this plus a glass screen protector (it's 3 oz):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XW33QJR/
Extremely light, and I think it'll do for my purposes.

I ordered the one in the first link the i-blason case. I'll get it tomorrow and I'll post some photos and give my thoughts since there are no reviews on this case at all. Ordered a TPG screen protector to go with it.
Beware the case magnets (smart covers) for the Tab S3, the magnet can ruin the S3 digitizer and sleep function. I had one S3 replaced due to this issue. I have never seen this problem on other devices.
