Has anyone got one of the cases Samsung is offering on there site?
Apparently I'm too new to post a URL here, but basically if you go to Samsung's website and look at their accessories for the Vibrant you can see them.
Just wondering if they were worth the hefty price tag. Also would be nice to have one that didn't cover the volume and lock buttons like the gel case that tmo sells does.
Nah I think they are too expensive and besides they are gel and will probably stick in your pocket. I went with a rubberized, plastic cover from ebay..
I bought a gel case from Ebay, it fits perfectly well although it said for Galaxy S. Really good deal considering $6 with free shipping.
I have posted this on t-mobile...I have the tmo one but like the blue galaxy s design on the sammy and was looking for a comparo of the two.
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA App
I was watching a video about the HTC Evo vs the Samsung Epic, and i noticed that he had a case that i thought was really cool, but i dont know which one it is, if someone could please tell me thatd be great.
ok, so i apparently also can give the link to the video, but the video was called
"Samsung Epic 4G vs. HTC EVO 4G Dogfight Pt. 1"
by phonedog
I believe it is this one. oops.............
They won't let me post outside links, but it is called Case-Mate
Looks good on the Evo
Could also be the new Incipio but I think that case is to new for this video...
http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-EVO-4G-Cases/Case-Mate-HTC-EVO-4G-Barely-There-Cases.asp
Here is your case.
fyi..if you are willing to wait for them...you can get these style cases from ebay for around $1.50 each from chinese and hong kong sellers. They look nice...but these snap on cases like this have been the flimsiest I have seen
The Incipio Feather case looks just like that. I bought one and was disappointed. It popped right off when my phone fell onto the carpet. They do look and feel good but I don't fell like my phone is protected very well in one of them.
I did a quick comparison of the Incipio and Barely There HERE
I purchased a black and clear case on Ebay for 4.00 each...awesome quality an they came from California not china...they are the same case as the case-mate..so why pay 20.00 when you can get them on ebay for 4 or 5 bucks...I'm very happy with the 2 I purchased.....

Looks like the price has gone up a little bit ... but the main thing I noticed is that the protection for the camera lens isn't the same as the "Barely There Case".

It's the same style of case as the Casemate but not the same case. The Casemate is one of the only super thin cases I've found that protect the camera lens, the one you posted does not. It's also the thinnest of all the ones that I've seen.
So Far I have found the two below cases that are part of the Amazon Prime day sale.
The first one is my Daily driver case, my favorite S8+ case. The second was another one I found on that is a part of the Prime day sale. I figure we can use this thread to post any other S8+ accessories people recommend that are part of the Amazon Prime day sales that starts today.

Basically anything on Amazon Prime Days Deals for Techies will be discounted. I already spent like 150+ on accesories just today lol!
Pitaka MagCase Note 10+
Got in the Pitaka Magcase for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 plus today.
This is one of the finest quality cases you can get for the Note 10 plus if you are looking for a very minimalist case.
This case is like using your phone bare nekkid.
The case protects the back, top and bottom of your Note 10 plus with real Carbon Fiber material.
Feels great in the hand and adds much needed grip to the device.
Works perfect with the 3 different wireless chargers we have here.
Great Case, Great Materials, Great Fit, Great Feel in the hand and thin as a potato chip.
Link to case on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2kK3Cuw
Here are a few pictures of the case on my black Note 10 plus.
Pre-ordered mine early August. Still hasnt been delivered here in Australia... Meh, ill never buy from them again.
Mine was shipped earlier this week and now is at local depot expecting delivery on Monday.
My cover arrived today! It is good quality and therefore worth waiting for.
What clock widget is that?
I have one for sale for note 10 if anyone is interested. It's brand new, believe it or not , it's too thin for me.
I ordered one and all I received was an empty box! Amazon issued a refund and only the after I posted feedback did I receive an email from pitaka, would never oreder a pitaka case again
Thought I'd start one up. What have you guys seen or ordered?
Spigen's got some stuff on Amazon already.

I have the aramid Samsung case on the way. Might get the Ultra Hybrid or Thin Fit just to have the front part of the case.
None of them will be here by September 18th though. I'm hoping the shipping dates will get moved up soon.

Worried about that myself so ordered a dbrand skin.
I'm not normally a skin guy but it's better then nothing on this 2k device.
I'm just not a fan of the Samsung ones with them only covering the back
yeah i wish they had some cases. I need something to give the screen a slight lift so it doesn't make surface contact etc.
i hope spigen moves up their times.
I'm going to order the aramid cover. Like you guys, I want to protect it a bit while other cases come out. I'm definitely going to leave the plastic screen protector on the front display until something suitable comes out
Clear Spigen?
I went to order the Spigen Ultra Hybrid on Amazon.
I'd like a crystal-clear version as I've used for the last couple of Note phones, but presently the title of the listing is "Matte Black" and the visual render looks like black.
On the other hand, the description says: "Crystal clear transparency flaunts original phone design".
I think this listing needs work, and hopefully they will soon have a Crystal version.
Links to Amazon are in the US
I am interested in this one for those of us in the UK o r Europe:

Reasonable price too.

The Spigen Ultra Hybrid cases have been around for a while. They are made with a matte colored TPU bumper around the edges and the back portion is a clear polycarbonate. Had the render used the bronze Z Fold 2 it would be much more apparent.
Link to the Note 20 Ultra version for comparison. Check the other pictures and you can see how it would look on a bronze or white phone.

Thanks for the link. I ordered the official Aramid case from Samsung, as I usually opt for Spigen with the stands, but the lack of protection for other parts of the phone is worrying. I'm not sure I could use the case you've opted for though as I like to be able to glance the screen. It will be interesting to see how that one works as in how does it hold when the screen is folded open. is it held in place magnetically or does it flap about.
They have a couple of extra options at the site, for anyone UK/EU side, though the prices for the official cases are higher than getting direct from Samsung, especially if you use the 10% off code at Samsung.

Yeah the Samsung cases are stupidly priced, the leather ones are retailed at a staggering £80 ($105) for what is just a small flimsy back cover. Why are they blatantly ripping its consumers off?
The cover in the link I posted, is also genuine leather and it protects the whole phone including the screen. I have always bought covers rather than bumper cases as the screen is the most important part of the phone. I can't imagine how expensive it would be to replace the front screen! Anyway it does use magnets to hold itself together. I have seen other pics of it elsewhere and it looks really good. And at less than half the price of the Samsung one, I ordered it. I will let you know what it's like when I get it.

I am always amazed at how pricey the cases are from Samsung and then how cheaply made they are. I bought the wallet case for my note 20 ultra and the camera protection is non existent as well as the top and bottom are exposed. They wanted $60 for that pos
This case should be even less since it's just one piece but Samsung figure you'll spend it because you put 2k on a device.
I almost feel like Samsung is punishing us for affording an expensive device. "Oh you have all this money to spend on a device? Well I am going make you over pay for the cases"
I’ve been tempted to get the Aramid case but for the price may just get a leather wallet when they become available in the US. Hopefully there will be a few options to choose from.
Anyone found one for delivery for the 18th? Everything is months away...

I ordered the Aramid case from Samsung at the same time I ordered the phone and it will be delivered at the same time as my phone on the 15th before 10:30am
Admittedly the case will likely only be a temporary one for me and I will be grabbing something more suitable when available. Hopefully Spigen will have something out soon, as I like their cases with kickstands, but in the meantime the Aramid will be fine as I am working from home until the end of December at least and due to health I don't go out much so it will be fine.
Well, I put off ordering a case because.. well, I was just waiting to see if any new cases would pop up anywhere. Lo and behold, Samsung are sold out of the Aramid and the leather in brown and black. You can currently, as of 9/9, only purchase the green leather one.
I'm confused, why didn't Samsung make more? Ugh
Anyone know when Spigen cases will come to UK? This is the first time not seeing a link to a page on Amazon UK for it before the phone is out
I took a chance on the flip case cover from Araree in Korea. Was as expensive as the official Samsung cases but at least offers wallet type protection. Hopefully they ship closer to the 22nd.
$54 total from eBay.
