Hello, I just got my first android phone (the fascinate, yeah!) and was wondering if anyone knows of/owns any good cases for this phone. I got the clear hard case from verizon (sales rep sold it to me for half price) and it feels cheap and there is a lot of squeaking going on when I hold it. Also, i've had it for a day now and there is already dust in the case... Anyone have any good recommendations? Thanks!
 
I just ordered this a few days ago. Free shipping and $5 for silicone case + screen protector. Will let you know how it looks when I get it:

Black Silicone Case+LCD Protector for Samsung Fascinate - eBay (item 200515481405 end time Sep-13-10 13:54:19 PDT)

Says item was removed :/

Get the Dual case from Verizon. It has a clear harder plastic in the back and a harder but flexible colored side section. It is a one piece case that slips on but it is very close fitting. Get the benefits of both a hard case and a softer slip on case. My Verizon had them listed at $24.99 but I got 25% off.

I got the blue one. Love it!

That's the same case they're selling at the verizon store.
I'm kind of weary of silicone cases because they're usually dust/lint magnets (since i put my phone in my pocket) and they're a little harder to take out of pockets. But let me know what you think of the case, either way I'm going to have to get a new case.

This case looks nice, but I wish they had more colors available. I like how it covers the buttons, but that could also be a problem when you push the buttons...

Really? It doesn't look like it, it looks thicker like the cases that T-Mo is selling for the Vibrant. My Verizon store just had the hard silicone cases (this one doesn't seem to be hard silicone) and hard shell cases (which I hate because they offer zero shock absorption).

Case-Mate NEEDS to make the Tough Case for this phone....

I got two of the "dual cases" from Verizon as well. A blue one for me and a red one for wifey. I really like the case. It is easy to take off and slick enough to slide easily into a shirt pocket. One thing that would make this case tremendous is a sliding lens cover for the camera!

Hmm....I'm debating between the blue and black one. There aren't any stores within a 30 mile radius that carry the black high gloss silicone one, so I may have to order it online, which sucks. But if I like the blue one enough, maybe I'll settle.

I too bought the case with the kickstand from the Verizon store. I love it! It's very slim, yet tough feeling. I love that I can use the kickstand vertically & horizontally.

Yeah thats the one I got and I REALLY like it. Makes the phone feel a little more solid, looks nice, protects the back from getting scratched or dinged and has that cool kickstand. For someone who HATES cases, it works great for me.

Can you please post a picture of this case (while it's on the phone) ?

I would love to see it. I saw a small picture on a web site but would like to see it "in person."

Thanks!

Has anyone found a battery/back cover replacement? one that's rubbery with more grip?

The problem with cases is the phone no longer fits in the Samsung car dock and I really like the convenience of dropping it in when I get in the car.

Instead of a case around the phone, what I've been looking for is a back cover replacement that has more grip to keep it from sliding around so easily. When I'm ready to sell the phone, I'll replace the original, mint condition back cover.

Hey guys, took a few (not so good) shots of the kickstand case. I LOVE this thing, its the perfect size without sacrificing protection or comfort. It totally looks dirtier than it should in these pictures (I guess the flash/lighting is making it show up more) but it is NOTHING like a silicone case that collects dust or lint. Its essentially a lightly rubberized hard cover with a kickstand. Its great!!! Very pleased!
