[Q] Has anyone tried this case before? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

This looks interesting to me. Since it will take Seidio forever to offer accessories. I need something to tide me over.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-REAR-...651685?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f0ea544a5

I ordered one. I had gotten the krussell extra-large holster case, but it is waaaay too big, so I'll be shipping that back to amazon.
I'll post a followup. The only worrisome thing is from the pictures it might be cheap in that the backing is only one width and doesn't taper to the top edge of the phone.

Let me know how the holster is with that case

i believe those are PureGears. They made that same design for the iPhone. Insanely good price and didn't add a crazy bulk to the iPhone for having case+holster.
I saw seido holster from the galaxy captivate worked with the S2 though

I have a holster for my captivate from seidio. It doesn't fit, too small. I wonder if you were to get the one of the combo packs and not use the shell if it would fit though. I may order one just to check.
I went ahead and ordered the case from ebay also. I will review when it comes in.

Thanks for the link. Just ordered one. I too like Seidio because of their case holster combo. This will do till it finally comes out.

Ok, the case came today and I like it a lot.
The clasp has a built in stand:

Two problems with it:
1. The secondary mic is covered up. I plan on drilling a hole with the dremel to open it up.
2. Because of the top tab (see first image) you can only choose to have the USB available or the headphones available when it's in the holster, but not both. Again a small cut-out in the tab could make it not block the headphones, which I might do as well.

@othermark
if you have time can you post more pics or a vid. i would like to see how it looks like out of the holster or how it looks with the screen facing out. thanks in advance
edit: oh i forgot to mention. there are different colors too.

Thanks. I wish they would sell just the holster, separately. It seems the tpu case i have right now would fit no problem

I just ordered one as well

Mine came in the other day. Its great. Only thing I don't like is its hard to slide in.and.out of the holster. Probably will break in.
Also it fits perfect in the infuse dock with the case on! !
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 Cognition

Yep, it took about 50-75 pulls before it started to easily slide in and out.

I just ordered mine too i figured if the case did cover the noise cancelation mic the current dearth rink case i have on it doesn't and it will probably fit in that holster. win win

When it is in the holster in the face-out position, is it stable? Can I go for a jog with it on my belt and not worry about it?
Also, has anyone tried this holster with any other case? And will it work face-out as well?

It's very stable. The face-out position has more friction to it than the face-in position. Both positions don't budge when seated, but it will take more force to remove it from the face out position.

Ordering one now

I'm using the holster with The Agf case with the leather insert from the att store. I had to do a few easy mods to make it slide in easier but I'm diggin this combo.
The case that comes with the holster doesn't protect the phone as much as I'd like.

Well the case has done it's duty, it's got quite a few bumps and bruises and I managed to break the thin strip at the bottom of the case. So I ordered another one.
This looks like the same thing, just a few bucks cheaper.

Kickstand Case :D [Pictures]

Bought it as best buy for 35 bucks. Kind of expensive but i really like it. It has very nice soft touch finish to it and it feels great in the hand. With the case on its only a tad bit thicker than the epic 4g. Kick stand props up nicely vertically and horizontally. Theres also a nice soft fuzzy material inside the case to prevent it from scraping against the phone, and it protects your camera lens when you set it down on its back. It doesn't get in the way with anything and it fits great in my slim fit jeans
$35 bucks at best buy. Kind of steep but i had my 50 dollar preorder giftcard so i just used that.
UPDATE: It stands perfectly in portrait as well!

edit... here ya go, not a bad looking case, I definitely wouldn't mind having a kickstand.
ahaha thanks! i just uploaded them to picasa before i saw your post lol
Looks like that case adds a lot of bulk to the phone :/
protects the camera? can't tell it kinda looks flush
This looks 3rd party? The official HTC case has the kickstand oriented so the charging port is on the top. With this case it doesn't look like you can kickstand it and charge it at the same time.
What brand is that? Is it best buys platinium series? I like how it goes together, in my experience that style(comes apart as top and bottom) is by far more durable.

Yep, that's a Platinum Series case. Most of their stuff is made by Seidio.
I plan to mozy on over to my Best Buy today and see if they'll sell me accessories.
I went and checked it out. I'm going to wait for Seidio though because I need the combo with the holster. The only holster option BB had is for the rugged case which is too big for me...

I just confirmed my concerns with Customer Service, This is their answer:
Thank you for contacting Seidioonline.com. The kickstand on our SURFACE case for the EVO 3D does not allow access to the charging port when it is in use. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at 832-204-1118.
thanks for the update - I was told this item was sold out and Sprint wouldn't be getting it until days after the release date of the EVO 3D - Best Buy, here I come tomorrow.
Yeah it's not bad except I need to access the charge port when in use. So, I'm taking mine back.. I do like the feel of it and the fact it does add a little more protection around the camera
bought this same case and was suprised to find out that the kickstand is plastic and not metal. just fyi

[Review] Photon OtterBox Commuter

OtterBox Commuter Review​
Just got my OtterBox today, so thought I'd toss out some thoughts for those of you on the fence.
Those of you that aren't familiar with the OtterBox cases check out some info here OtterBox Case Series
Fit: This thing fits so effin nicely! I've tried the Commuter series on a few devices...and this seems to fit more snug than on other phones. The 3D Commuter I had seemed to bunch up ever so slightly. Same with Dell Streak and Evo 4G versions. My Galaxy S phone was pretty snug as well. Seems like they got this one right...cut-out for the mic doesn't look like it'll get blocked over time if the rubber gets loose.
Button overlays: They stick out a bit...which is the norm for Otters. I find them to be pretty handy. The power button especially, as most would agree without a case it can be a bit of a pain to press. Nice that I can stop myself from filing a fingernail on the volume rocker too. Much easier to press than the few other cases I've tried as well.
Dust Flaps: Tight and secure...without being annoying. Easy to open...plenty of room to plug in your cables. Not too stiff. Seems like they'll hold up for awhile. I've had some others that have fallen off way too early in the case life. Noticed the flap over the HDMI / USB ports DOES make the phone wobble a bit when using kickstand. Not a big deal...but might be an issue for some.
Cut-Outs: My only complaint here is with the kickstand cut out...seems a bit too snug. Seems to get caught a tiny bit on the rubber around it as you try to extend the kickstand. Pretty sure it'll straigthen itself out over time tho. Camera cut-out is nuttin special...just a rectangle around the lens and flash. Has cut-outs for the noise cancelling mics on the back as well.
Appearance: LOVE how it doesn't take away from the MoPho's unique look. I've gotten compliments on my phone for how slick it looks with the cut off corners. Yea.it's the little things that count. This isn't a case that hides the look of your phone...it accents the goodness!
General Feel: Not too slick....not too grippy. Slides in and out of pockets just fine. Definitely doesn't feel like I'll drop it. Always a good thing in my book. **Edit: After several hours of use, I've noticed the edges are kinda sharp. The hard plastic, when held in certain spots, can be agitating to your skin with it's sharp plastic.
So...in conclusion: I think this is the case I'll stay with for awhile. I've always enjoyed the protection afforded by OtterBox cases...and this should be no different.
Be aware, unless you rip out the insert on the HDMI dock it won't fit. You will have to remove the case for dock use.

I just ordered one from amazon after reading this. This would be perfect if they would have made a clip for it like the defender. I tried the defender at RS but it was just too much, this seems to keep the bulk down but still give that otterbox protection.

update: oh they went out of stock quick i guess, i was able to snag one though....
newegg's price is good, but thats about how much theyre going for online. retail stores would rip you off, but online price seems to be around the 22-25 dollar range.
lowest amazon price is 22.93 with free shipping from a 3rd party seller.
I bought mine for about the same price from a 3rd party seller on amazon and received it in 2 days (mainly cuz he was in the same state).
i got mine for 19.99 free shipping on amazon. love the case, felt so scared holdin it before.
I managed to get the Commuter to fit the car dock with minimal modification.
1- The rubber plug over the USB ports has to go.
2- Remove the ~1" bar over the USB ports from the outer shell. This part is indicated in green in the photo.
3- Shove the whole thing into the navi dock. Still tight, but it works.
Just copped ($22 on Amazon w/free shipping.) Propz - good review

AGF Magnate Case

Here is another case I found during my search for unique, high-end cases for our phones. The company who makes it is AG Findings. They own Ballistic, so it's not some no-name company. It is a TPU case with a leather inlay on the back that adds some sturdiness and refinement to a standard TPU case. I actually ordered this case and it should be here Thursday. I'll post pictures when I get it.
Again everywhere I've looked says it fits I777...so we will see.

That's a fine looking case right there. I'm getting a SGSII today hopefully if they come in stock so I'll also be in the market for a case.
I use this case, it's holding up well. AT&T actually carries this one in the store, which is where I purchased it.

I see it for $16 on Amazon w free shipping. I already have a couple of other cases, including the Casemate pop stand (white) and Incipio Featherlight case. While I liked the Pop up stand, it's a bit bulkier than I'd like. Any idea how this one compared to the Casemate pop up case? I like the look, guess I'll do some more research before pulling the trigger on this one.

I think its about as slim as you can get while still having reasonable protection. Id say its definitely slimmer than the pop. Its a classic looking and understated case and feels great in the hand. I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow evening.
Any luck with taking some pictures?
Right! Sorry about that...here's the pics:
Nice! I dig that style.
I may have to pull the trigger on one.

Yeah it is nice. It fits pretty tight and feels good in the hand. The material is smooth to the touch and doesn't snag in pockets. I found it on Amazon for around $12 if I remember correctly. The hole at the top for the headphone jack may not work with some headsets. For example in my car my AUX cable has to be shoved into it with some force to get it plugged in, but once in it stays there. You could always use a hot nail to open the hole up a bit.
I'll probably bore it out with my Dremel
Got my case in today. So far, I'm really digging it. The buttons are a little tougher to press, but I'm getting used to it.
The case is a little tough to get on/off, at least at first. I do like that the case is VERY snug. The case has a good feel to it, although it could have a little more grip to go with the texture. It's also surprisingly light.
I also have a Case-mate Pop Case and an Incipio Feather Ultralight Case, so I decided to take pictures to compare all three.
The Incipio Feather case is by far the slimmest, next is the Magnate, then the Case-Mate case. I paid $25 for the Case-Mate, $21 for the Incipio, and $15 for the Magnate, although the Magnate said $35 on the box and arrived in the official AT&T store packaging.
While the Incipio case was the lightest, it also offered the least protection. I'd probably rate the Magnate case and Case-Mate the same as far as Protection goes. I couldn't be much happier with this case.

Just got mine for $14 shipped, although they shipped it to the wrong house yesterday. My neighbor brought it over today. Here are some pictures the case and the clip have kickstands, but the one one the case is nearly impossible to open with fingernails I had to use my pocket knife. They both allow you to set the phone on either side. To have the screen face out in the holster it has to be upside down, but it works. Pretty solid for the price.

I got one of those in the OP.
Can't say I love it, but for the price I'll keep it as a 'rugged' case. Probably won't use the holster except for possibly as screen cover if I put the phone in a backback. It doesn't look terribly well made.
I also got a Ventev TPU case. Really like it actually. It almost makes the phone look nekid but gives a bit of reassuring protection and makes the phone easier to hold.
Wow, thanks for the heads up.
That's a great price for a case and holster. I have a TPU now, and wanted a holster and case for when the situation merits it, but didn't want to drop $50 on an otter or seido. This is perfect.
Just to confirm, does the belt clip rotate 360 degrees and does it "lock" at various angles ? Or is it only in vertical or horizontal positions?
EDIT: Quick little video review of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BZ7zS0n-2w
Looks like it also comes in red and white.
Thanks again OP.
I just got the white case today and I'm very happy with it. Great deal and value.
$14 bucks for a dual layer protection case AND a holster!
Here's a few pics of the white one with a close up of the buttons and ports.

If you were one of the fortunate ones to get a free gel case, you can use the same holster set with it for a different look.

I wouldn't , the holster doesn't hold the phone with the blue silicone case securely . It slides around in the holster.
The outer shell does fit over the gel case, but it doesn't sit flush and feels weird holding the phone to me.

Damn. It looked like a really nice case.... But I don't want to add more bulk..... I have a diztronic tpu case and was looking for a holster.
Just a heads up: While the phone with this case fits in the car dock if you just need it to hold your phone, it's slightly too big to sit properly in the Official Sprint/HTC Car Dock so the USB plug doesn't go in far enough to charge or activate car mode.

I need your opinion with different carrying solutions. Hows the china stuff on eBay?

I need to find a way to carry my phone around, especially at work. I work in a bus garage, my work is manual so I don't want the phone to be in any pocket as moving around can get annoying and I might hit my leg somewhere and damage the phone. But also in regular clothes, sometimes this phone is just to much for my jeans.
For me, finding the perfect way to carry this huge phone is the most challenging thing with it, but the size of this phone is my only negative point so I'll find a way around that.
From eBay:
1. Case cover with Holster with belt clip and kickstand:http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-NOTE-3-Case-Cover-Protector-Rigid-Slim-Holster-Kick-Stand-/171138781224?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item27d8aa9028
2. Heavy Duty vertical belt clip pouch : http://www.ebay.com/itm/HEAVY-DUTY-VERTICAL-BELT-CLIP-POUCH-HOLSTER-CASE-FOR-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-NOTE-2-N7100-/360649119899
3. Another Holster Belt clip : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-Rugged-Hybrid-case-cover-with-Belt-Clip-Holster-Bundle-/181230218883?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item2a3229ae83
So what are your opinons on these 3? Hows the china stuff with your experience? Should I be worried the belt clip break in half after 2days?
I've tried about 4 different china cases over the years....and 3/4 were garbage...the only decent one I had on my G2. The fit is usually too small/incorrect and i've cosmetically damaged phones in the past using them. Like the old saying goes "Ya get what you pay for." I'm by no means rich and like to save a buck when I can, but do you want to put your $600 baby in a $5-10 carriage?
1st one: I don't like that I don't see and rubber material in the case for shock absorption, just that little fuzzy "velvet" stuff. Bet it will scuff sides of phone too, had one similar before.... PASS
2nd one looks like the case for my leatherman. PASS
3rd one looks like a trident knockoff, but has the rubber/hard plastic combo that seems to work best. One thing I can't see is how big of a "lip' sticks out above screen. This is important for face-down falls. Without a good rubber lip like the Trident/otterbox cases, you WILL have damage.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out....
I've had mixed results with China cases over the years. I was suprised by the one I got for my Note 2. It was cheap, durable, and did exactly what I wanted. With my original Note I went through 2 or 3 cases before I got a good one.

Does the s-view work on this case?

The one that i am using now was from my Note 2 and it's been a year and it's still just as good. It's fits perfectly even with a back case on my Note 2 and now a bumper case on my note 3. I'm using the brown colour.....you may want the black

The majority of cases probably originate in China. I ordered #3 from your list and it should be here soon, so I can take pictures and let you know about the quality. From another auction, it shows that the lip that surrounds the screen is rather large, almost as much as an Otterbox Defender. I saw the same case on Amazon for $20, and there are a few sellers that have them less than $10 on eBay. I've also ordered a Spigen NeoHybrid because it offers the protection I need, but hopefully the corners won't pop off and crack the case near the charging port like my S4 case did.

Please, let me know how it turns out.
I'm also very interested to know how well the belt clip holds as well as the build quality of the material use for the belt clip itself, something always overlooked in product description and reviews.

I have one coming in next week hopefully. If no one has done it, I'll post a quick review. I think people should hold if they can when buying this case from China. Let other experiment to see if it works correctly.
