Accessories Samsung Vibrant Cases

All I can say is that I saw an asian video on YouTube showing the Galaxy S in a ziplock baggie with various metal sharp edged objects, and only minor hairline scratches on the battery door were visible. They also too a large screw and tried to scratch the screen, but were unable to until they pushed really hard. This phone is made very good, and the tempered glass holds up very well.

Hey vegastouch, can you update us on how well these work when you try them out?
And a link to the XDA person saying he bought them and they worked would be great help to me as well.


Just got the battery today. It is in my phone and it is almost fully charged. Will update within the next two or so days after i use it like normal.

I am annoyed at the lack of cases available for this phone. I have the tmob black one that I've been using. I bought a"gel"case off ebay but it turned out to be too stiff to use the buttons on the sides... I don't like the tmob b/c it takes away from the thinness and beauty of the phone. I took off the case and now my phone is nakey in the buff. Anyone else doing this? How resilient is this phone?

This one is cheap, and I have loved it since. Not too stiff, and well, to me it retains the thinness. Check it out, want pictures with it on? I don't know if I can, but I'll try...

It does the job!

It isn't so clear you can see the design on the back, but you can see Galaxy S shining through. My wife gives me grief because it is whiteish, you know, translucent, she said, your phone is black, why didn't you get a black one...Hey, it works for me. Only thing I'd say is, I think that it had like a coating they used so it would come off the molds. I think I have rubbed it off from what touches my pocket on the outside, but on the inside touching the phone, it seems to get like the consistency of a rubber eraser when you erase a pencil mark, the little parts that come off a bit. I think that was part of the production, I try to rub off as much as I can, it doesn't hurt anything, just probably more of a nuisance if you were to care about the cleanliness. I highly suggest it, as I have always suggest it.

And the moderator strikes again. Sorry Robinelli, he moved you. Am I the only one who doesn't mind when similar threads are opened? Ahhh the bulletein board days without mods, things were more pleasent, maybe one day enough forum users will complain and they will do away with mods.

I say that with utter respect.
I think combining threads makes information HARDER to find instead of easier. I don't like digging through pages and pages of a thread and neither do a lot of other people. I see nothing wrong with multiple threads. It shows activity on the board. When all of the threads are combined the board looks stagnant and uninteresting. Technically all of our threads on this board are about the same phone, so why not have only one thread and put all of the msgs in it ;)

Did you receive them yet? Do you like them? I am thinking about getting one of these. I am sick of the TMob one.

I will be receiving them by this Friday coming up. And I will be posting pics of it.

I'll keep this thread updated once I get them.

I think they look great, they are official Samsung cases afterall.

Great low price too, cant go wrong with that.

I'm using a black silicone case bought from eBay which for me is very good for the protection it provides. I also got a leather case (Bergamo leather pouch) which perfectly fits the Samsung Vibrant but without the silicone case on.

Is there a leather case or pouch the can fit the Samsung Vibrant with a silicone case on?

Is this in reference to the "Samsung Silicone Gel Skin Case Galaxy S Dot Matrix Design" case? What didn't you like?

I was curious about those myself and would appreciate your opinion. Thanks.

If thats the case, I am curious too. I am still waiting for them, probably be next week when I get them.

I'll be doing a short video review of it aswell.

No they are different. Just click on the link or go to tmobs website and see them. I didn't order them, I am just saying I didn't like the way they looked- so I am waiting for something else to come out.
