Thanks for the Monoprice link. I like the idea that the adapter includes the usb charge port so that the phone is charged while playing through the HDMI.

Rather than get 50 of them, I'll just pay the $16 and get one, though. (I like the idea that shipping is only $1.71.) You have to give Monoprice credit: they are an honest, upright company.

Absolutely! I ordered some HDMI cables from them (first time ordering) on a Sunday Night and paid for overnight shipping (4 bucks?? for overnight? Are you kidding??). There literally was a package at my door at 10am the next day. Anyways, yeah my total came to a little over $18 with tax and shipping. Still better than $30 and whatever price Samsung will set it for

Amazon is also loaded with E4GT accessories.

I'm looking for a sturdy thin plain case (preferably matte black). Any suggestions?

I really like how thin the phone itself is and want to show that off without adding bulk.

Thanks!

The one you will probably want, if they make it, is "barely there" by case mate.

I've got a TPU coming for now. I've used them on other phones and like them, great case for the price.

Where did you find the TPU case? Do you have a link?

Everything I look at refers to the "Epic" and then they mess up and call it the "Touch" even though they're referring to the original Galaxy S. Thanks.

I found some cases using the old Google and looking up TPU with epic 4 touch. They are Amzer cases, and I have always found them to be great cases:

Newer UPDATE: BTW, if you sign up to their mailing list, you get free shipping.

Also to eventually be offered with free shipping, but evidently not Amzer:

Hey unplugged1 - I just got my HDMI/MHL cable from monoprice. Seems to be good quality - can't really be sure until I get the phone! LOL

I can't believe Samsung is charging $40 for theirs:

..... and yet, Cary, there will be many who do buy the Samsung because it is..... well, Samsung. Smart shoppers do the Monoprice type of thing :D
