What are you using or planing use to protect your phone and screen?
Zagg is supposedly good all around, the draw back, it's extremely hard to remove once you put it on, and if you fail the first time.... OMG...
Gel Case + Screen protector is the next best thing, both can be easily removed and swaped with another colour or another screen protector if it gets too scratched, unlike Zagg once you put it on, you are stuck with it forever.

Thanks
for the phone shell protection i'll prefer these "Mesh" ones (easily found on ebay), but not sure if they are Hard plastic case, or soft gel type

my 2nd choice would be these ones by "Zenus"
for actual Case for my belt this one is the best of them all (also easily found on ebay)
the gel skin + phone will fit perfectly into it

They are plastic not soft.
personally i've always liked the zagg (rather a bodyguardz since u get 2 skins for the price of 1 in case of a fubar) plus a hard plastic case.
EDIT: unfortunately only zagg has the SGS skin for now....so i bought that

thanks for the info.... darn they looks so nice on the phone.
but past experiences has taught me that hard cases does not protect the phone from accidental drops.
soft cases or gel like cases does a better job at that.

I'd go with Zagg if they were less cumbersome to install.
the last time i tried it, it was a big mess.
having to do the spray the glue, then letting it dry, etc, etc.
i don't like the idea of having to use any sort of glue like thing on the protection film to glue into the screen.
i'll probably order the Zagg just to provide some more protection for the plastic case samsung decided to use, to give it an extra layer of "armor" ... still if the drop is bad enough even the inside hinges that keeps the phone together will break regardless of how strong is the the outer shell.
I've a bad rep for dropping my phones A LOT! luckily my old HTC Athena was made of METAL case, else it would have died looong looong ago, and even with it being a metal case, i managed to crack it at the corners
since HTC Athena phone/laptop (according to the Zagg website) was not that popular, there was no soft skin case available for it, and the Zagg was not available either until much later, by then it was already too late for my phone.
the Zagg + Gel skin will make a good protection & fashion for my new Galaxy S i9000
that's the neat thing about the Gel skin, you can change the colour anytime you want to "match" your style / clothing whatever event you feel like for the day.
However the issue with the screen protection, i'll most likely not use Zagg, and only use a PET film protection, i've had all my previous phone with those PET protection and they work really well, it can be easily replaced without any glue, you can wash it and put it back, exactly what i wanted.
the Zagg screen protection you will have to spray the glue on the film, put it on, and let it dry, and you can't use your phone meanwhile it's doing that, so it's rather too inconvenient.
Also once scratched, you'll have to replace it with another Zagg, and that means you'll have to do the same rutine again.
PET film a fraction of what you'll pay for the Zagg screen protection only.
I'm rather picky on screen marks, i like them polished clean, if they have any line or dots, i usually change it right away, with Zagg, that will prove too cumbersome to do, with a PET film, just peel and throw away, and put on the new one, it's just that simple.
keep in mind on the zagg, for screen protector, they still only have ones for the galaxy, which have large cutouts for that square Nav button (the vibrant/captivate doesn't have) and cutouts for the FFC which the vibrant/captivate doesn't have
only one i've seen specific to the vibrant / captivate is the clearfreak, which btw is made here in the USA (Virginia)
do a google on em, there were some interesting reviews comparing them to phantomskinz and others

Default/Standard/Bundled/Free/Generic case.
I have Covertec black leather case...
very nice case.. I've had it since August, and it is still in a great condition...
Build quality is very good.. and it's way much better the the standard case for the JAM.
it also has 2 mini pockets for your extra memory cards... I usualy keep my music stored in a seperate SD... and thus, this case becomes quiet handy :wink:
i have the one it came with which i barely use, and also i bought the silicone one which i dont use much either because it sticks to clothe so its tough to put in/out of my pocket.
Here's mine! Krusell is very comfortable. Using it couple of months. Still good!
stratoboom: that's cute, where'd you get it?
I have a silicon case which is ok, but in the end I just found some adhesive foil which I covered the back of my magician (and ipod) with. It looks similar to the original and protects it when i throw it on the desk. It's useless for shocks/drops, but then I never touch my phone without slipping my finger through the loop.
V
I love mine with a silicon skin. The one I purchased from ebay is the thin silicon skin that comes in 5 colours ...didn't like the one with the protective screen cover, too thick the skin.
The skin makes my phone-PDA stands out..whenever I take it out to answer phone or use the PDa function, everyone nearby just stares at it :-D
O2mini_noob: I got a silicon one in pastel blue and white. Haven't used it for a while, I'll have to pull it out again!
V
the pastel light blue I am using at the moment..it makes my o2 mini look like light bluish grey which is very striking.
The flourescent green and pink look outstanding too although pink is more suited for gals.
i found it on ebay.
it's great.... first days plastic is very heavy and sometimes there is not contact between stilus and screen
after couple of days, leather and screen cover get magicians shape and now i use only my fingers ; )
the best case i ever buyed.....
Boxwave Flexiskin is amazing..I just put it on today...looks like by far the thinnest skin you can find for the Magician. Whereby most silicon skins today add weight and thickness to the Magician plus not contoured to fit charging cradles..the Flexiskin from Boxwave makes you feel like you're using a naked mini.
The button skin is incredible...you can actually feel the symbols on those buttons. It is the must have skin !!
My pocket is 2 small 2 plus a case on XDAmini......
I use a Piel-Frama Case (did so with my old iPAQ too) and I love them. They may be a bit expensive but are worth every penny. I got a black leather one though.
Hi,
I have the same as your with a slight modification.
I have cut out the plastic front to give acess to the screen.
and added a hard leather cover for the screen
Regards
And this is the reason (the case) why i dont want to replace my JAM to KJAM...

i had this case and absolutely hated it. first up, i hated having to always open the cover to access the screen (it was a process). secondly, it made my Jam a lot bulkier looking, and a lot of my friends would comment that i look like a "moron" with the case on my phone. i ditched and i got a silicone case with an attached belt clip. i garner a lot more respect now. 8)

Hey Private-Cowboy, I have a Piel Frama for my Mini too!
But it's the two-toned black/tan one.
Anyone here using a Vaja?
here is mine. a tad too bulky, but i like it. Makes the phone quite bit thicker.

I've tried a few cases and by far the best is the CAPDASE. It's an Aluminium case with a double hinge. Only fault is the window is smaller than the Pdair and is offset to the left.
My main criteria for a case is that it must protect the PDA, be easy to use and not bulk up the unit as did the pdair case.
I also had to make a minor modification in order to get access to the stylus. Otherwise a great case.
The Krusell HTC Touch Pro Orbit Flex case is no exception to this rule, it’s a little rough around the edges and plays host to some decidedly inconsistent stitching and some other almost unnoticeable but poor aspects of its overall finish.It does, however, boast some features I’ve encountered on other Krusell cases. For example, the top flap that normally covers and protects the screen of the phone can easily and quickly be entirely removed from the case by means of a slide-in plastic clip. This allows you to remove and pocket said flap when you’re planning on using the phone for a significant period of time and don’t want it getting in the way.On the down side (or up side, depending on your belt-clip preferences), and again like previous Krusell cases, the Orbit Flex comes with a “multidapt” hardpoint on the back of the case, which can’t be removed to make the case as perfectly pocketable as I think it should be. Belt clips are a matter of preference, however, so I can’t outright chalk this up as a minus for the Krusell Orbit Flex, if you’re into creating Batman-like utility belts then it should be right up your alley.A definite plus is the transparent plastic window in the case under which you’re supposed to tuck the HTC Touch Pro keyboard. It’s a little bit tricky to get it seated properly but once you do it will adequately protect your keys from dust and grime in addition to very securely holding your phone inside the case.The mix of black and cream leather with complimenting stitching makes the Orbit Flex look quite good if you don’t examine it too closely, the black exterior and cream interior is an eminently professional look which I’m quite fond of. It trumps any single tone case immediately and adds a bit of interest to what would otherwise be an overwhelmingly black phone in an overwhelmingly black case.Overall, the Krusell Orbit Flex is a cracking case for your HTC Touch Pro, for the money. If you want to loose a few features, despise belt clips or simply want to go full on “designer” with a much better finish then you’ll be wanting to give it a miss, but if you want a striking leather case for little over £20 then it’s certainly an option worth considering.

Review By Kevin
Dr.Windows Mobile Master
I used a Krusell leather case with my Sony CLIÉ for several years and it is still on the device, even though I don't use it any more. It is still so nice I don't have the heart to through it away...David.
Thanks for the information. I have owned two Krusell cases for other devices and loved them. The Multidapt belt clip is by far the best I have used.
I assume this will fit the Fuze? Does anyone know for sure?
Thanks!
@MagicSpeller,
yes, confirmed it's and will fit the Fuze.
one thing I don't like, though: it's very cumbersome to put in (and out, subsequently) the plastic wrap portion which protect the keyboard and provide grip to the phone.
I'm sorry, i never got these cases for phones that have a slide out keyboard. for a phone without a slide-out keyboard, that makes sense but not one with a keyboard. You slide out the keyboard and the case is hanging off the side. Really not useful in my opinion.
Can any1 post some of their own pictures of this case.Thx

Now, what is your ideal opinion of a leather case that [when] 'you slide out the keyboard, the case [won't] hanging off the side'? such thing doesn't even exist, yet.
Unless you're referring to a two piece rubberized soft case, which I think looks cheesy, and, dorky.
I have had a few krusell cases for palms and HTC devices. Their warranty is really good. The quality though is another matter. I should point out at this point I am an extremely careful user of my mobile so not ham fisted. But for my tytn I had two cases replaced on warranty because the multidapt adapter plate which is stitched into the back of the case kept splitting. The third case has just failed with the plastic welds giving up on this same fixing plate so it fell off the back of the case. This is after 3 weeks of use. I am always careful to remove the phone from my belt before sitting or getting in a car etc, so there is no excuse for these to fail like this. The last case broke just as I got back to my car and was unlocking the car. I have attached a photo of this latest failure, the belt clip on this is the non swivel type. The non swivel clip is frankly rubbish. After opening the clip a couple of times the hinge pin works its way out. On the swivle clips the flaw is the spring metal weakens. The cases are great though definitely one of the better ones out there with a manufacturer that honours its lifetime warranty, but the multidapt and associated plastics are a really badly flawed design. I am now off to claim yet another replacement under warranty, if you dont want a belt clip then I dont think you can do better for a leather case that you put in your pocket.
A cousin of mine needs it. Where to find it.
Thanks
play.com are doing it for 4.99 free delivery!
Hi guys,
Not advertising it - although I should because I bought one from play.com few days ago for 4.99 GBP!!
I couldn't believe the offer, too good to be true I thought.
But the only thing I don't like about it is the plastic that goes over your keyboard and under the screen - so holds the phone very safe indeed.
But I feel paranoid that the front is going to snap off - the see-through plastic seems to be forcing the top cover out a bit...Or it's me being paranoid?
Anyone else feel this way who owns one of these?
Good luck all!
Anyone know if this case will fit with the seidio 2000mah battery installed?
krussell cases are garbage, not only did it break my phone because of the plastic straps that under the sliding part, but the case never fit right and awlays hit my scroll key, thus my battery was always crap, also the clip broke...I would stay away from made in china piece of crap krussell

Ghost armor over the whole phone. Looks and feels great.

I put an Invisible Shield on the backplate of my Galaxy S i9000 for the same reason. Seems like it (or any of the similar products) are the best path to go.
I haven't done this on my Nexus S yet.
I'm was considering just buying a new backplate when it gets so beat up that I don't like the look any more.
Mine's not scratched at all that I notice after 5-6 weeks I've had it.
Sorry, I don't think I made myself clear. I want to know how bad the back cover scratches, not which case I need to buy (because if I'm going to buy a case, it's going to be the "S" curved one).
@above: thanks! Can you tell me how you carry around your phone? In your pocket? With other stuff? And where do you put it down if you don't use it? On a place where it could be scratched?
No scratches ...
Not using any case either
My phone is naked and I put it in a soft leather / fabric pouch ...
And I put it in my jeans pocket, together with keys and coins
Done this for months with my HTC Desire and it is still shinny as new!
i carry it in my horizontal belt leather case that was for my old SGS I9000
perfect fit
I already mentioned above no scratches on mine yet.
I carry it naked, in my pocket. My headphones are alway in my pocket (so there's a naked jack in there usually), and I frequently carry a second phone in the same pocket (an iPhone 4 or an i9000).
I've added a poll an edited the first post.
No scratches on mine, but that's because I keep mine in a Nexus One pouch.

I'm exactly like this, except from the keys and coins.
I don't have any scratches (I'm very pedantic with that matter) and I don't use any case (makes the phone looks ridiculous).
I have a couple little scratches... but if you pay close attention to the phone, it has a few black web scratches over a few areas. Almost reminds me of black paint on cars. My Samsung tv is made out of the same plastic and it has the web scratches.
This is an just an example of what I'm talking about....

No scratches. All naked and I definitely don't take care of it as I should
I have couple on the back and where the usb port is. I tend to miss sometimes when it's dark and I'm tired, didn't really expect it to be scratched there. Oh well, I'll be keeping this phone for a while anyways. Also use a case, but I don't think it's doing a very good job protecting it from scratches.
I've used a defender case for nearly a decade. I work in an industrial environment and need maximum protection. I also enjoy the holster, especially with a phone this big!
After trying a couple of useless TGSPs, and reading the raving reviews for the Whitestone Dome, I knew I had to make it work.
The TGSP installation went perfectly, and 5 minutes of carving with a craft knife was all it took until the Defender fitted perfectly!

Thank you.
If I'm seeing it correctly, if you took a ruler and layed it across the middle of the phone it would be laying directly on the glass, not touching the edges at all. Correct?
Even if that is the true, the sides still look a little higher than I have seen on most other cases. That's a good thing.
Correct.
This makes me nervous as if the phone falls on an edge, the outcome would not be good.

Actually, it's worse than than. Even if your phone falls perfectly flat, face down on a flat surface, the high bumpers on the top/bottom will hit, with nothing in the middle of the long stretch. This will result in the phone bending/flexing in the middle. Glass isn't meant to flex like that. The result is likely breakage. It's like the phone screen is designed to break almost no matter what sort of impact there is.

If you look at the first picture in the OP, you just need to carve out the two top corners a little.
They are the only two places the case interferes with the whitestone.
I fitted the whitestone first, and left it overnight to properly cure.
Then I offered the top hard section of the case to the phone and scored (with a craft knife) the inside edges of the notch at the top of the whitestone.
After removing the top of the case, I started removing material from the corners, a little at a time.
Keep trying to fit the case, then carve a bit more, until it fits.
It only took a few minutes.....
That's awesome, this might be the way to go for me then as I currently have the Supcase full body armour one. I love everything about it except the plastic screen protector which is all scratched up after only two weeks. I'm babying this new phone to so it's quite disheartening
The OtterBox Pursuit series fits perfectly with the WhiteStone Done, I'd go as far as to say it's the perfect combination for protecting the S9+.
I have the Otter Box Defender because I work construction and it has proven it's the best on my S5, V20 and now S9 Plus . Just ordered the Whitestone Dome too on Amazon cus my wife had a discount and I got $10 off .
Similar Option
Privacy screen protector and no shaving down the Defender.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77152357&postcount=142
Would like to ask you (Otterbox Defender+WSD glass user) whether you got change your casing a lot? Or take out the casing to change your SIM Cards? Or you never take out at all?
If you got take out the casing a lot of times, will the case push the glass out?
Just to clarify did you carve before you applied the protector or once it had been adhered to the cell phone?
I am a huge fan of cases and I like buying and changing them frequently. I recently got the S9+ and a Spigen Ultra Hbyrid S transparent case.

I checked Amazon UK but I didn't find any cases I particularly liked, so what are some of your recommendations?
I have the ringke rearth fusion case, rhinoshield bumper case and a tumi case. I'm currently using the ringke case because it's clear and gives an illusion of less bezels than the other two but gives enough protection for my use
@corwin_amber Wow.. that's one of the best looking cases I've ever seen. I believe I had a case made from the same material back in the day for my iPhone 4 or 5. I might have to order one from Amazon UK because it's the same price after discount and of course delivers a lot faster by Prime. Thank you for the suggestion, I really love the case!
You are welcome. And of course I would do the same in that... case (haha).

Have been using Nillkin Nature series on my every phone since Sony Z3. Love that it adds literally no bulk, shows the phone as it's transparent and the quality is top notch. Protection is not the best but I am very careful with my phones and never broke one in last 10 years.
OtterBox Defender.
Love the case, fits really well and feels good in the hand, port covers should limit the dirt and dust that gets into the ports and as a tradie the belt holster is essential.
Only issue I have with the case is that because the phone and case is so big you actually have to look at the phone when you're putting it back in the holster otherwise you probably won't get it in first go or your shirt/jumper/jacket will get stuck in between and the phone won't lock in and it'll hit the deck. My phone has survived several drops because of this issue, however it has so far not taken any damage... What had happened a few times though is that I've scraped the screen against the locking tab on the holster whilst shoving it in, this has resulted in a couple of micro scratches on the screen, these are only really visible when I clean the screen really well, a few fingerprints are all it takes to cover them up.
I probably should install a decent screen protector but all of the ones I've looked at are either a pain to install (Whitestone Dome and others), only have adhesive on the edges, have "grid/dot Matrix technology" (how is this a positive feature, many manufacturers advertise this way) or are only tpu or other non glass film.
Also I'm too lazy/OCD to actually get around to fitting screen protectors even when I do buy them.

I've had several low height drops and even 1 drop from ear level onto pure asphalt!!! (I'm 6' tall) and the case protected the phone beautifully... Not even so much as a scratch. The case adds a bit of bulk to the phone but you get great protection.
Just a side note, I ordered this case while my Galaxy s9+ was still on preorder waiting to ship, and this is the only case I've used on it... Still holding up great. I'm considering taking the plastic screen protector out and getting a Whitestone Dome screen protector.

HI
Very nice case.
In your opinion, would the case interfere with a tempered glass screen protector?
Thank you

Official Alcantara one, alternating with the clear and silicone one, from Samsung's official lineup.
Still, the best is the alcantara case, hand feel is so smooth.
