Where to buy OEM Official Samsung Leather Pouch ?

Hi all,
Sorry if this was asked already, ive been searching all over the accessories thread and cant find one about the particular leather pouch im looking for.
Does anyone know where to buy the OFFICIAL Samsung leather POUCH? (in BLACK)
The people who bought the S2 from India recieved it in their box as per this thread:

I'm NOT looking for a CASE/protector because i'm used to carrying my phone in a leather pouch (ala the official one that came with the HD2 - coincidentally i'm USING the leather pouch from the HD2 but it's still too big for the S2 so i'm scared it will slip out)
I cant seem to find anything about it online - I've checked ebay as well
All i can find are 3rd party ones that I dont really trust so i really want to try out the official Samsung pouch since it was made for the S2
Thanks in advance for the help!

Samsung EF-C1A2L

I'm looking for this pouch too and didn't find anywhere to buy yet.
Here is tan version: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s2-leather-pouch-case-tan-p29969.htm
EDIT: Black: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B004ULZB36/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk

I feel the tan version looks classier although it may not suit everyone and depends on your mood whether you like it or not

Now available at Expansys:

'this is not an advertisement'

Thanks for the headsup - although $30 + shipping for the case is PRETTY expensive :S not sure if i'd pay that much....maybe ill wait a bit

Yes, you are right. I prefer to wait for local retailers.

I got this from Amazon.de
No problem with the pouch but I didn't like the design. No way you can put your earphones when the phone is in the pouch. Also charging
Felt like it was not a good buy

Does it have a hole for rear speaker on the back?

No. It is a full concealed pack like your wallet. No holes whatsoever.
Would recommend you to try before buying. I made that mistake of not trying

Is there also a case that can fit the official car holder?
I want a case / like a skin to protect the sgs2 but also can fit the carholder..
I also consider a (leather) battery cover; just for a better grip; the sgs2 is so light that it can slip away when u use only one hand :-(

So it is not exactly same as pouch of India release. I really don't know why Samsung included pouch for India release only while UK is the main market.

just to warn you, dont be misled by the title in this Ebay item, as it is saying i9100... IT IS NOT, it is the KOREAN MODEL and the seller is still insisting it Works on the i9100 perfectly.,.. IT DOESNT
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...9&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123#ht_7936wt_905

Why not? This Korean version case fits very well for my i9100.

Case mate pop case review

Hello, I have been searching for a while for the best case and purchased several cases, and I think for me, the pop case is the best of all. (I have some TPU cases from amazon, case mate tough case, and pop case ( I wanted to try the otterbox, but after using the pop case I am going to just use this case)
Picture qualities are pretty bad, but it gives pretty good idea how it looks life overall. I have a white one, and it really makes my Gnex much more fancy and its really rugged with dual protection, so no worries about dropping the phone. All the buttons works perfectly all ports are working great as well.

Does it add much bulk? I'm looking to get it.

Does the USB cable that comes stock still fit with this case on? Reviews on Amazon say it doesn't.

also interested if the usb cable fits.
thanks

Yes the USB cable which came with "GSM unlocked galaxy nexus (which I have) does not fit but I have a OEM cable which came with verizon galaxy nexus which fits perfectly...(never used the cable that came with this..) so I never really knew untill now lol well if you have any other cable it fits well

I wonder if it works with the exttended battery?? Looks good

Yes it does fit very well with the extended battery. USB charger is not an issue if you have one that fits. Looks like Casemate removed the Pop and Tough case from their website. Could it be because they are looking into these issues?

Dang right when we get confirmation that it fits with the extended battery they take it off the website? DOH!

Pictures with the extended battery LTE?
Please and thank you

sorry mine is GSM and have no extended battery.

You can find them on eBay in Black, White and Pink. $28 and free shipping. Just search "galaxy case-mate pop!". I ordered the Black but it hasn't arrived.

My Case Mate Pop case is arriving today as well, if you are looking to buy it for $16! check this company out shipping is dirt cheap as well from them. http://www.thecellguru.com/Phones/Samsung/Galaxy_Nexus/Cases

I got the black one, great fit, great protection, great case. Bit of a bugger to get off in a rush though !

How is it pressing the power button and the volume rocker is it easy or do you really have to press it in to get the effect?

Easy peasy to press power and / or volume buttons. I sent back a case mate tough as I couldn't activate the buttons freely enough, the case mate pop is much much better, just a bit of a pain to get off

I just got my white pop case today. I am using it with the extended battery on the verizon cdma version. The case is amazing! Great protection, doesn't add much bulk, buttons work great, fits perfect with the extended battery, adds extra grippyness. Highly recommend. I got mine on ebay as well.

I can verify that the STOCK cable for the VERIZON GNEX does NOT fit the port in the case. I got the black/grey case today from my local Verizon store for $19.99.
My old HTC cable from my EVO 3d does fit though.

jeez the Pop case winds up covering one of the mics? that's kind of a downer... wish I came here prior to purchasing the case on Amazon especially since it's supposedly arriving today.

Is there a hole for the camera microphone? Seems like the Barely There and Tough case has a hole for it, but not the Pop! case.

I have an $150 Amazon gift card...

I would just wait. The only real good item that you will find on Amazon is the Barely There case from Casemate. DO NOT buy the other Casemate cases because they have pulled them from their site because the bottom cut out for the Micro USB was off set. The main thing that I am waiting for are the docks and some good pouches to show up on Amazon. If you want something right now then I will recommend the Klipsch heaphones, they are the best ones that I have owned but they aren't cheap. Of course if you are one of those people who break a lot of headphones then stay away from these. They are the only ones that have oval shaped ear buds, I think that they patented the idea.

+1 On the ear buds. I have the Klipsh Image S4, which are basically the same except for the microphone/button. They are amazing! Audio fidelity is superb for in-ear headphones...

Oh OK then you don't need the Android model because they are they same, I also have the same one as you.

I just bought a PS3 controller, which comes with an HDMI cable, and a MHL-to-HDMI adapter. I also have a USB OTG adapter. Those are some accessories you might consider.

Monoprice

Has anyone tried the new cases from Monoprice.com? They generally have good quality products for a good price so was hoping to hear some reviews on their S3 cases.

Monoprice is working on 11pin MHL cables? Nice! I love monoprice for cables.

I'm waiting for their MHL cables as well... No one can beat their prices for cables and I have yet to have any of them fail on me.

That's the 5 pin cable. I actually just got one, and am now waiting for the 5 to 11 pin adapter to arrive. They've finally started popping up on amazon and ebay.

Monoprice is awesome. I use them for tons of stuff and their support is 2nd to none. If you end up not liking it they will refund your money and sometimes let you keep the product anyways.

Sorry for the late reply. The Monoprice tpu cases are thin.. the cutouts are great.
They just don't compare to diztronic tpu. If you have any other questions ask anytime.

Hybrid TPU
Just got the hybrid hard plastic/TPU case from monoprice. The hard back is charcoal gray that is semi transparent. I can barely make out the Galaxy S III logo through the case. The edge is all black TPU, the cut outs for everything is just about perfect. I don't like that the power button and volume rocker are covered. I like to feel the actual buttons click, but they still function fine. Overall, pretty dang good for the price. :good:

I bought both the Aircase Aluminum + Polycarbonate Case for Samsung Galaxy SIII - Black and the TPU Case for Samsung Galaxy SIII -White.
The aluminum/polycarb case is very high quality and fits perfectly. It looks very similar to the Casemate Barely There Aluminum and regular price is under $6. My only complaint is that its a bit slippery on the sides.
The TPU case is exactly as advertised - cut perfectly for the phone and fits well. Under $4.

ok so we'll need monoprice's 11pin to 5 pin adapter + this http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...d=1083314&p_id=8675&seq=1&format=1#largeimage for it to work on HDTV?

You were on the right track. The 2nd Samsung item alone works with our phone (Galaxy S3). You only need the adapter (5 to 11 pin) when you're using the older, cheaper 5 pin MHL cables.
So you can either use the monoprice 11 to 5 pin adapter + the monoprice MHL, or you can use the one expensive Samsung cable.
To date - I'm using an MHL cable that I bought for $6 from EBAY many months ago, with a $10 5 to 11 pin Samsung adapter that I bought from Amazon. Works great, but I'm curious to see the monoprice prices for the 11 pin stuff.

thanks for the clarification.. going to see what monoprice comes out with.. i would trust their products over any generic one from ebay any day imo. :good:

What would you buy for your Nexus?

If you already had a qi Charger (or 2) a Spigen case, tempered glass protector, what else would you buy for your beloved N5?

how are those earphones? I just ordered mine, I've heard some really good reviews about them.

I'm very satisfied. They look great, sound even better and work flawlessly with my Nexus 5 with all buttons and mic working just like they should. I've bought a lot of stuff for my phone but for me Pistons are one of the best buys ever.
The only downside is that while buying you have to beware of fakes, since the market is flooded with them.

Agreed and agreed. Love mine. Work perfect with the n5.
Buy from ibuygou or penonaudio. Both sell 100% real ones.

I have gotten for my N5: A S-Line case, retractable earphones, a dedicated MicroUSB (and USB-A) 2amp car charger (it shows as "Fast Charge" on the lock screen and Ampere reports 1300mA to about 1580 or so mA), SlimPort adapter (not for Maru OS, i'm not even rooted!) and some other things.
I would get a : a dock, a Qi charger (FoneSalesman' QiStone+ is being eyed by me), A SECOND BLACK 32GB NEXUS 5 (Daniel 5 the red N5 and Daniel 5-2, the black N5, maybe?), BlueTooth headphone adapter,etc.

I got mad catz cntlr for gaming..now planning for it controller !!

In my experience, a Diztronic case to replace the Spigen.

Diztronic? Really? The last one I bought, didn't impress me.
My answer. A DODOcase Durables case. They put the HTC One (M7) case on sale this week, and the M7 almost perfectly matches the Nexus 5's dimensions. I can wait to start carrying it in it. (I have Durables for my Nexus 4, and just got one for my iPod Touch 5gen. they're gorgeous, particularly when you get them for < US$50. Alas, the HTC One cases sold out in a day.)
I also ordered an LG QuickCover folio from Expansys. I always like having a full, book-style case for my phones. And this case is high speed. Light, thin, fits like a glove (better actually), and has a thin plate with magnets to ensure positioning on a Nexus 2013 wireless charger. Superb.
