i9000 Cases on Vibrant

I've read several posts from people saying the dimensions are only about 0.3mm different so the Korean cases for the i9000 would fit on the Vibrant.
I imagine the silicone cases would fit fine, but I'd be curious about the fit of the hard cases.
If anyone picks one up, could you please post your feedback on the quality and fit.
**Sorry for the new post, I meant to post in the existing thread about the Silicone Cases. - Not sure how to move this post.

I bough;

just waiting for it to come in but ill let ya know

Actually I'm pretty sure that the phones are the exact same size, so you should be able to use any hard or soft case that's made for the international version without any problems.

I was going to order one of those Amzer cases, until I saw the 8/17 ship date.

I got the black soft case from T-Mobile yesterday because I just didn't want to risk not having a case.. but looking for something better. And hope that Zagg comes out with our shield ASAP!

I did the same and got lucky they still had some. The T-mobile stores around here didn't carry much of anything for accessories. They had 7 cases available for 55 phones. Lol.
I'm looking at an Amzer case as well, but the shipping date is so long from now.

lucky, my store only had 3 for 40 phones. naturally, they were sold out long before i was there. maybe apple bought up all the case material seeing how they owe everyone one

can anyone take pictures of the tmo case?
i found these two "gel" variants on ebay for $3ea shipped so i figure why not... six bucks for two cases?

Go to the silicone cases thread. Someone posted a picture of it.
I got a jelly case and a mesh case from Korea. Hopefully it's good quality.

they have cheaper ones on ebay in black and in white just type "Galaxy S TPU" in the ebay search bar but there weren't any pics of it actually on the phone so i put these up instead, I know those auctions are for 2 cases and a useless screen protector (has Galaxy S Home button cutout), I wonder if maybe you have the choice of two colors since your getting 2 cases anyways?

The white one looks nice .

It looks different enough from your run of the mill gel/rubberized/plastic case. I like the design. Much more expensive at ~$20, but my Vibrant deserves a nice case for having such a nice screen.

NEW! Galaxy Nexus Metal Skin Frame Bumper--Verizon Compatible

Hey everyone, i was going through Ebay and noticed that they finally got a new design
for that aluminum bumper case they've been selling. I've seen this one before in another
thread but there was never a link for us to purchase. This case seems to be a lot thinner
than the previous Aluminum bumper. I already purchased a silver one.

What do y'all think?

looks good let us know how it goes .
seems to me it would fit an extended battery
But I don't see how the cover fits on !

They do look nice and hopefully someone can get some pics of them on their Nexus's. And hopefully they do fit the Verizon version. I know Aluminum bumpers dont have any give in them and thats why they have been incompatible before so hope the description is accurate.

I'm assuming that the case is a snap on. I was looking at some of the Cruzer Lite cases, but I think this will be a decent replacement for about the same price.

The case itself is two pieces but I think its more of a slip on bumper than a snap on. You can refer to this post to check out a review.

Are you sure these work for the Verizon version? I couldn't find any info that would point to that on the ebay page :/

Um... you do realize that the VZW version is thicker right?

I've found that people will list the Verizon Model in the item name but sell accessories that do not fit the Verizon model.
For example, I bought this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/30070173227...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2978wt_1275
Not noticing the description said:
"Galaxy Nexus CDMA SCH-i515, Galaxy Nexus GSM i9250"
And ended up with a case that didn't fit properly. When I messaged them about it they said I ordered the wrong thing regardless of how the item was named.
As a result I tend to look in the description for the specific word Verizon before I get anything.
If the one you get fits that'd be great. This is just a heads up if anything

Don't shoot the messenger, i'm just telling you what i saw on the post. I do realize that, i work in the cell industry. Relax..

Hey joey. Good find. Let us know when you get it if it does indeed fit, I'm actually really interested to see if it would. I'm also wondering if it would fit extended batteries based on the fact that it appears to be more of a bumper than a case.

According to the initial review thread of this Aluminum Bumper it fits Verizon Galaxy Nexus perfectly well.

The ones from that thread might not be the same cases as the one mentioned in the OP. Just have to wait and see to test it out and confirm if they fit the Verizon version

The case on the picture is exactly the same. The cutouts and sliding mechanism are the same all the way. It's just good to see those bumpers are now available without direct export. Enjoy them they look good in real.

Looks pretty neat. I'm wondering if it affects the phone's signal. $15...I'd like to review it but kinda expensive for a case.

Most people had issues with GPS after using this case. I thought I remember hearing it messed with cell signal as well, but I can't remember; if you do a search you can see that these are not worth it.

I'm not sure but, I'm currently working with the seller in getting a review sample for anyone that is interested. I should have a video up in the next two weeks depending on the shipping. I'll definitely look into the cell and GPS once it comes in!

Review Cruzerlite TPU cases.

Here is my review of the Cuzerlite Experience Cover and Androidified A2 cover for the Nexus 7 FHD (2013)
I have a wood skin on my Nexus 7 from stickerboy . net and it does not interfere with the Cruzerlite cases.
The Androidified A2
The A2 for the nexus is exactly what we have come to expect from Cruzerlite a great TPU case at a great price. The A2 sells for $17.95 and is available in 11 colors. The Case fits the nexus like a glove all the port and buttons are easily to use. I like the different finished on the case the Android is a soft touch finish and surrounding it is glossy. The A2 adds some good grip to the sides of the Nexus and In my testing I did not have any problems using different headphones or charging cables. I have a inductive charging plate and the cover does not interfere with the inductive charging feature of the nexus 7.

The Experience Cover
The Exp. is the perfect case for the stock android user. If you like the icons used by a stock android ROM then this case is perfect for you. The cover has a nice soft touch finish accept for the icon they are transparent. I like the added grip to the Nexus 7 and the fact that the case is very thin a light. In my testing I did not have any problems using different headphones or charging cables. I have a inductive charging plate and the cover does not interfere with the inductive charging feature of the nexus 7.
I just received the new Circuit Cover and is awesome!!
Here are some photos of the cover installed on my Nexus 7

I ordered one when they first went up for sale, before Prime was an option. It has said shipped for a while now, but I still haven't gotten it. I'll be really annoyed if it comes after the the date I could have gotten it using my Prime...

I think all the preorders got something extra in there shipmnet.

I ordered one of the SLine ones for $2 on Amazon. It "shipped" yesterday but with no tracking and is not due to arrive for almost a month. I'm guessing it's because it's a preorder and they don't have them in yet, but it would have been nice to know that. Not to mention now that they've marked it as shipped (though I highly doubt it was) I can't cancel the order.

[Review] Official Asus Premium Cover w/pics

So received my official Asus Premium Cover from Amazon today and I must say it has been better than expected. I paid $42 w/free shipping so on the pricier side, but if your looking for professional look and feel this has you covered. Case if extremely slim and lightweight. Buttons have a cover over them which at first I wasn't sure about but they really don't hinder the experience and dare I say add some "flare" to the overall look. The feel is very premium. I'd say the back feels almost the same as the back of the tablet itself, maybe just a tad smoother. The inside of the cover is also very premium and in no way feels cheap. The only negative, no auto unlock. I'm assuming they didn't use a magnet to keep everything slim, but who knows. It doesn't bother me much. Overall I'm very satisfied with the purchase and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a true "stock" case that feels very well made and doesn't add bulk to the overall size. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
Edit: Forgot to mention this works fine with my wireless charger

No auto unlock/lock because they don't own the patent. I have the same case, you beat me to the review. There's alot of negative reviews but i think people were expecting alot more when they paid 40+ dollars for it. Mine fits perfectly as well, so i dont get where people were saying it falls off.

Both Moko and Poetic have a slim case that is nearly identical and costs far less than the official case. Can't really see the advantage of the official case other than to show you have the official one. LOL.
I currently have the Poetic slimline and have the Moko slim on the way. And both came in at less than half the price of a single official case. Just saying...

Agreed. Got my Poetic in today and it works perfectly, and only cost $5.95. And it has auto sleep/awake function, which is a must. Really love it.

How good would this protect it from minor drops? ( I'm 6ft 5in, so it would have to protect fit from about 5 ft drops.)

Are the clips and back of the case hard plastic or TPU/rubber? The clips around the corners don't have much purchase on the tablet... wondering how secure the tablet is in the case.

That's not true, and if that happens, it's a faulty unit. Wake/sleep works at anytime, its just a magnet, seconds, minutes, hours, days, whatever.

you are wrong my friend, it doesn't mean a faulty unit. Many people have been experiencing when the device's wifi is turned on but not connected to a network, there would normally be a 10-15 seconds delay when u flip the cover of the case open.

Lots of reviews on Amazon claiming the tablet doesn't stay in the case because only 3 of the 4 corners snap in well...is that true OP? Thanks for the review

Another question: how loose is the cover? Since it doesn't use a magnet I'm afraid that the flap will fly open every time you want to carry it around...

As the post said, they are different styles...the first has colored bumpers and the 2nd is crystal (clear) around sides which is not a choice for the first. The amazon page for each does have multiple pictures that show the different sides and color choices.

To be honest, it was such a terrible experince with Nexus 4 bumper cases.... They again started selling the bumper cases at very competitive prices, but maann.. that was such a bad peeling experience.
I remember i changed thru amazon at least 4 times.. hope they are doing better job right now.
However, I am still considering buying poetic or not for N5, but to be honest, besides that peeling problem, I have seen way better case designs so far on the forum. This is like the same as the last year N4's exact design.
With couple more bux, i might go for a better looking cases

Poetic makes cheap crap. I have their case on my Nexus 7 and after less than a year of low use it is cracking and falling apart. Absolute junk and will not be buying any Poetic products ever again.
There is a reason these things are less than $5 shipped...

They did offer free replacements without question for those who have had the peeling problem.

Yeah I know, thats how i got my replacements. They have good customer services, no problem about that.. It was just annoying to wait for the new bumper case every single time the previous one is broken.
thats it, no offense.

Mines only broke once but then I wasn't too fascinated with the button feedback so I switched to a Rearth Fusion

I'd have to agree. I had a terribly time with their "Poetic Atmosphere Case for Google Nexus 4". The rubber peeled away from the plastic on two of their cases, and had to fight them for a refund. Check out the reviews:

Perhaps there has been a design improvement with this particular case, but I'd stay away.

As the post said, they are different styles...the first has colored bumpers and the 2nd is crystal (clear) around sides which is not a choice for the first. The amazon page for each does have multiple pictures that show the different sides and color choices.

Thanks, I decided to go with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid though.

I agree with the above... The nexus4 poetic bumpers were terrible quality... Tho the only bumpers apart from the official lg ones out there... And tho they did give good customer service, they would take forever to actually send out the replacement cases...
I think The main reason why the case sold alot on the N4 was due to the glass back easily cracking... People wanted minimal protection while having the awesome 3D design on the back still showing... Since the N5 no longer has that shatter prone glass back, I think lots will go nude this time around... I know I will...

Poetic bumper gone from Amazon. I ordered one for $.01 plus shipping. Wonder if it's still coming.
