I have been searching online retailers and local shops for a leather case for my Touch HD but to no avail, until I have found this in one of the mall in the Philippines while on holiday. I believe this is one of the best genuine leather case available for the HD regardless of the price. The best part of it is the price: Only USD15.00
The leather is not stiff but smooth and soft. The stitching is very well done. All phone controls and buttons are all accessible.
Check out the pix to have an idea how amazing this leather case is.
The pictures does not include the belt clip which also serves as headset/headphone cable organizer. Very, very neat!
looks good, do you know who manufactured it?

It's Capdase. They actually have cases for all other phones including, iphone, blackberries. I actually bought similar cases too for my Blackeberry bold and Nokia 5800.
I'm wondering whether this leather case could be made compatible with Krusell's Multidapt mounting system, so it could be used with their car and bike holder kits. Could you maybe give me the exact dimensions of the swivel thingy that I suppose gets screwed in the back of the case?
Here's the corresponding Krusell data:
outside-diameter (top 2mm): 12,5mm
outside-diameter (lower 2mm): ca 9,5mm
inside-diameter: 7mm
also, do you know what kind of screw is used?
here's a pic of the krusell belt kit (the swivel thingy I'm talking about is obviously the second from the left):
Whoooa! The last pic, where it shows th case being used as a stand raises it's value a lot
Where can we buy this product ??
it's very usefull

I believe it will not be compatible. I am at work now, I will post additional pictures with belt clip on and the screw itself. I have had Krussel before but it is not as well designed as the belt clip that comes with this Capdase case.

I bought this in a mall in the Manila, Phils. I have search the web but it is not available. Maybe you could try search "Capdase" in Ebay. Even in Manila, it is not readily available in most shops, you really have to ask for it.

I will try to post additional pictures when I get off from work. But I can assure that it still fits my front pocket comfortable without looking happy to see everybody ....I never use the belt clip and screw so that's helped a lot in terms of pocketability.

That's a great one at great price too. I think I've overpaid for my Noreve case and it took them a month to deliver
I use a simple leather case to protect my HD. Bought on ebay where you also get a screen protector with it what is much better than the original one.

Hiya guys. Just received my phone today.
I have ordered one of these Beyza SlimLine Leather Pouch Case.
Has anyone had one of these before, and what was their view of it?
Looking for a slim (protective) case, whether it be silicone or leather, pouch or flip-case, so that I can carry the phone in my jeans pocket.

I'd support that. Got the Bugatti SlimCase two weeks ago, and I'm quite satisfied with it.
PROs:
- Sturdy, quality leather case, offers good protection for the HD.
- Fixed belt loop. (yes there is a belt loop on the back - hard to see on some pictures). No clip that can accidentally slip off your belt.
- Slim fit: The HD's a slim device, and this case doesn't add bulk to it. Sits tightly against the belt, so no bulge at your waist. Comfortable to wear even under a business suit.
- velcro fastening: No chance of the HD accidentally slipping out of the case.
- Good fit around device: The HD fits in just right, and it's not too tight (so no unnecessary pressure on the screen).
- EasyOut strip, really easy to operate: Undo the velcro and pull the strip in one movement - hey presto, the HD is lifted about 1/3 out of the case. Couldn't be easier.
CON:
- Putting the HD back into the case is a bit more fiddly: The EasyOut strip gets in the way, or gets twisted. Not easy to do with one hand.
Overall, a really good belt-able case, and a real bargain too.
(I got mine from Amazon for ~ 10 € incl. P&P!!!!)
N.
You got to watch out for some of those cases on Ebay. I bought one for my X1i when I had it and because it was kinda tight ( needed breaking in ) it wore the paint down on an edge near the control panel. It was felt lined but the outer shell felt more like synthetic leather.
Krussel case here because of the quality and the Multidapt system, my last five cases have been Krussel so I have all the belt clips, windshield brackets etc. already.
This is just a placeholder!
Car Charger
Anyone bought a car charger for the SGP5 that charges? I discovered not all micro USB chargers are created equal. I have a .7A wall charger that came with my Galaxy Player, and a .7A wall charger than came with my Optimus-V. Both say 5V with micro USB. The Optimus charger won't switch the Galaxy Player to charging (just keeps discharging). The car charger I have for my Optimus works fine on the phone, but also does not charge the Player.
Does Samsung have an extra wire or two in their chargers? Just want to buy a good car charger for the Samsung (and don't want to have to return it). This is my Optimus charger: http://www.amazon.com/Retractable-C...2C0W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324098638&sr=8-1
I think I might order this for my Player: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-...7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1324098713&sr=1-7
Anyone have one they know works in a car?
These look like nice cases, still just preorder.

I do have one of them (the aqua black color) it's the best case I have owned. It's sillicon but it's not sticky because its a mix of sillicon and TPU.
It looks like their status has gone from preorder to selling. I was going to post the Amazon link but I don't have enough posts to add links. Search Amazon for Rearth Ringke Galaxy Player

Coincidentally I just received the Riot Outfitters case today. It is a MINIMAL case. No protection for the top and bottom corners. About all it does for me is make it a bit easier to hold the device. With your thumbs up of that Rearth case, I'm going to order one of them.

Well the korean version of the galaxy players have a DMB antenna (for the TV) so the case needs an hole for the antenna. (you'll dont notice it at all after a few use with it.)

Hi,
I originally got the gel case I mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389081
I got one of Riot cases for Christmas, from my family (a little early ), and although I didn't really like it, because of the lack of protection mentioned above, I was obliged to try it.
That lasted for about a day, then I went back to the gel case.
The main reason was that I noticied that when I played some games in landscape, the games were constantly going to "resume". I'm guessing that it was because the Riot case doesn't provide much isolation at the bottom edge when in landscape, and between the metal band around the SGP5, and the narrow bezel area between the edge and the capacitative screen, it was causing this.
So, I switched back to the gel case, and the problem's gone.
I also got a cheap protector when I bough the gel case off of Ebay, and I was obliged to try a Zagg protector (again, for Christmas). That lasted even less time than the Riot case.
I really hated the tackiness of the Zagg protector, especially when doing things on the screen that required smoother movement. With the Zagg protector, my finger kept jumping/skipping, esp. when I played games. I did some googling, and this seems to be a common complaint with the Zagg protectors.
So, I'm back to the cheap Ebay protector also.
Just my observations...
Jim
When I first installed the zagg shield,
I also thought it was more "tacky" than it should be.
Wasn't sure about it for the first couple days.
But now it's been on there for a week or so,
and it's really no different now than when the shield was off.
Not tacky anymore, fingers not jumping or skipping,
and i just glide across it nicely, just as i did the original screen.
So, while the zagg shield was questionable to me for a few days after installing it..
It really does work quite nicely now!
Nice and smooth/slick just like the actual screen.
I bought this car charger, just go it, works well: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-...7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1324098713&sr=1-7
Bought this "case" that fits great and feels good: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180741214943&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:1123 I bought it in black and you barely see the white around openings (none on front), I also sand-blasted it to remove the glossy it has on one side, still has the nice 2 tone effect but now matte and super-matte.
Bought this "Sleeve" that is very functional (and protective): http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-...GEOQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325036022&sr=8-1
Bought this screen protector that goes on easily and looks good, but scratches easily: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270845080394&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:1123

woohoo
Yes! Got my case today!
Ordered it 3 days ago, and just got it, and it fits perfectly!
Very happy/impressed with it!
Now Im "fully" protected.
Zagg shield on the screen and Ringke/Rearth case over the rest.

How does that fit?
there's no holes/ports for the speakers?
or does the 5.0 have only one speaker in the front, on the opposite side?
Looks cool, but doesnt have the proper holes, at least not for my 4.0
edit: nevermind..
I see that the 5.0 does indeed have different placements. mybad
@rasall, how much thicker does it make it? Is it really worth $20 for a silicone case? It does look nice, but my device seams thick enough already without a case. Also ghost armor now has screen protectors for the galaxy players, fyi.

Not much thicker at all.
I just measured it with the case on and it's still only 2.5 inches across from side to side.
It really was worth the $20, for me anyway.
$20 to add some decent protection to a $240 device , I find worth it.
As Im sure you know..
there are not really a whole lot of cases out there yet for these players..
So one that fits perfectly, adds protection, and gives it some extra grip, is worth it to me.
It also makes it feel super nice!
Like it gives it some more 'stability''.... er something. lol
I'm not aware of "ghost armor" ,
But I have a Zagg invisishield on and I love it. Perfect fit, and one of the best quality materials Ive seen.
Plus, it has a lifetime guarentee.
If it gets damaged, they replace it for free.
Ghost-armor is a screen protector similar to zagg but uses static cling rather than adhesive and is therefore reusable if you have to take it off. From what I have seen they are pretty much indestructable (I saw someone demonstrate by grinding his iphone 4s across diamond plated steel - not so much as a hairline scrach!). You can also get nice looking carbon fiber skins. They also have lifetime warranty. They are pretty expensive, though ($25-30), and my $2 xtreme guard from ebay is working great, so I guess I'll wait.

How is the xtreme guard? I have the cheap clear guard LCD screen protectors from eBay, and they scratch and attract fingerprints too easily. I wanted to get the xtreme guard, but I was afraid they would be tacky and sticky to touch because they are the kind that need water to install. So are they tacky like zaggs?

It was a bit of a pain to install correctly, but not to bad if you use soapy water. It was really hard to use the first couple days, but after a while it broke in and is smooth as can be. It is exactly like zagg, so if you don't like zagg it might not be for you, but it isn't sticky at all to me. If you scratch it, it just goes away after some use, pretty nice for how cheap it is. One more thing - the rear protector is absolute junk, if you can get just the front protector without the back, do so.
http://www.myincipio.com/Samsung-Ga...ATandT-feather-Ultralight-Hard-Shell-Case.asp
Definitely recommended for those looking for a lightweight hard shell case. It comes with a cleaning cloth and a screen protector (film) but the stupid thing is that the screen protector is for the int'l version. The case fits perfect on the i777. The buttons are not hard to press at all and the case does not create a lip along the sides of the screen, which was important to me because I use 'swipepad' so I need to be able to read the edges of the screen to activate that app.
Because the case is on my phone, I can only use my company-issued blackberry, which has an aweful camera but its all I have right now.
There's another thread on this case here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426274&page=2
I ended up ordering one and the case didn't fit quite right on the lower part of the phone. I e-mailed Incipio and they told me that wasn't typical so they sent me another one but it fit exactly the same way (perfect on the top, loose on the bottom).
Does your case fit snugly all the way around? Does it pop or snap when you squeeze the bottom half of the phone?
I'm wondering if maybe the blue one fits differently, as I was sent 2 black cases.
it snaps into place all the way down. It fits snug.

when i created the thread, the "similar threads" section didnt show that previous thread so I figured no one had reviewed it yet.
I'm looking for a case that is thin, plain looking (I don't like those ones that look like PC gamer gear), adds good grip (the whole reason to get a case is because this phone is so slick), and preferably doesn't cover the buttons (I prefer cut-outs for the buttons). I'm using this one: http://a.co/d/4LTxEu7 and it's ok, but it's already cracked near the volume rocker and doesn't really add much grip. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

aliexpress.com/item/SLEO-For-Nokia-6-1-Case-Ultra-Thin-Clear-Transparent-Soft-Silicone-TPU-Case-For-Nokia/32885195307.html
This case feels premium with a snug fit, no sharp or unfinished edges & cutouts, good accessibility to all ports, and raised buttons.
What makes this case stand apart from the rest is that the entire camera island glass surface is also protected by a TPU strip with circular cutouts for the camera & flash, thereby minimizing the chances of scratches when placed on rough surfaces. Even the original Nokia case doesn't offer this protection.
The seller is even offering 5 different colors & texture:

Regarding a back skin I am not aware of any sold in China probably outside of it maybe yeah. The only cases that were available for the 1st generation ROG were only these type of TPU cases. I hope it's not the same case for the ROG 2. So far the only cases you can find for the ROG 2 are the TPU and book cover types.

Yes there is a cut out for air triggers and side USB. I can use the air triggers but not comfortably, if you use them too much I would suggest using the plastic case included with phone instead.You can check the cut outs from the pictures attached.
I bought a TPU Case and Tempered Glass screen protector off eBay (both came from the same seller) for my ROG Phone 2 (Tencent 8GB/128GB model), so I thought I'd share my thoughts on them.
Case ($10.89): Ultra Thin Soft Silicone Case For ASUS Rog Phone 2 ZS660KL Shockproof Back Cover
Screen Protector ($14.89): Nillkin CP+Pro Tempered Glass Full Screen Protector For ASUS ROG Phone 2 ZS660KL
I love both items!
The case is probably one of the best TPU cases available for the ROG Phone 2 at the moment. All ports are accessible, everything lines up properly, Air Triggers still work great, it has a nice 0.3mm raised lip around the screen to help protect it. Overall, nothing really bad to say about the case, other than maybe the "Soft Silicone" part of the name is a bit misleading as its not like super soft rubber or anything like that. Its flexible before inserting the phone, but I wouldn't really call it soft silicone. Still though, its a great case and I feel the phone is protected from small accidental drops now (definitely more-so than the stock clear hard plastic case that comes with it)!
The Tempered Glass screen protector is also great. The fingerprint sensor still works just fine, Its easy to apply, it can be lifted and re-positioned if you don't get it on perfect the first time. I was worried about the black borders around this particular screen protector when I first bought it, but everything lines up perfectly and doesn't appear to be covering or blocking anything when positioned correctly on the screen!
Edit: ok so even when installed perfectly, the black borders on the sides of the screen protector do block a tiny bit of the screen when viewed straight on... But it is tiny, like maybe 5 or 10 pixels on each side of the screen. You really gotta be looking for it to notice it though.
Edit2: so it also seems there is a very slight decrease in touch screen sensitivity with the tempered glass screen protector installed. After using it for awhile I noticed very occasionally it wouldn't register my input and I'd have to tap again. HOWEVER, this phone is so awesome, it has a built in way to solve this issue. Just go into the settings, then Advanced, scroll to the bottom and enable Glove Mode! It's meant to increases the touch screen sensitivity while wearing gloves, obviously, but works well to fix this minor issue as well.

Still though, its a great case and I feel the phone is protected from small accidental drops now (definitely more-so than the stock clear hard plastic case that comes with it)!
The Tempered Glass screen protector is also great. The fingerprint sensor still works just fine, Its easy to apply, it can be lifted and re-positioned if you don't get it on perfect the first time. I was worried about the black borders around this particular screen protector when I first bought it, but everything lines up perfectly and doesn't appear to be covering or blocking anything when positioned correctly on the screen!
Edit: ok so even when installed perfectly, the black borders on the sides of the screen protector do block a tiny bit of the screen when viewed straight on... But it is tiny, like maybe 5 or 10 pixels on each side of the screen. You really gotta be looking for it to notice it though.
Edit2: so it also seems there is a very slight decrease in touch screen sensitivity with the tempered glass screen protector installed. After using it for awhile I noticed very occasionally it wouldn't register my input and I'd have to tap again. HOWEVER, this phone is so awesome, it has a built in way to solve this issue. Just go into the settings, then Advanced, scroll to the bottom and enable Glove Mode! It's meant to increases the touch screen sensitivity while wearing gloves, obviously, but works well to fix this minor issue as well.

Good tip on using glove mode when you use a tempered glass screen protector. Thanks!
Hi,
Stumbled on this Android Central article for Asus ROG phone 2 cases - Link
The first one mentioned as the staff pick looks promising.
Found the similar one on AliExpress - Link
Has anyone bought this TPU case, If yes can you give feedback or share images

I've also ordered the nillkin CP+Pro tempered glass.
Have been using their tempered glasses for years. They are the best.
Can you also share images from bottom and top of the cover with phone?? And how much thickness does this cover add to the phone?
Also does it create issues in heat dissipation?
Thanks

Including the 0.3mm raised lip around the phones screen, this case adds a total of 2.5mm of thickness and 3mm of width to the phone.
Measuring with my digital calipers, the phone without a case is 9.5mm thick and 78mm wide (not including the slight camera bump or the phones buttons). With the case on it measured 12mm thick and 81mm wide.
Heat dissipation is still excellent. I haven't noticed any change at all in temperatures.
I've looked everywhere but its nowhere to be found, can anyone guides me as to where I can get a good tpu case?
International vendors ship to india but delivery dates are no less than 30 days after I order.
Hi,
No TPU case present in India as of yet.
I have bought the one described in this thread - link
The units sold is very less in comparison to other brands like oneplus that is why you don't see recognised brands like spigen, otterbox or ringke creating a case for this phone.
Your best bet is to place an order on Aliexpress or Amazon.com.
Though sellers will be shipping cases from china only.
Please share if you find out some other good case?
Also look at these cases available as of now - Link

Thanks for the reply, I guess you indulge in DIY projects (measuring the dimensions using digital calipers :laugh
Do you play games on this phone? Do you observe noticeable increase in temp with the cover placed?

Lol yup lots of DIY and 3D Printing stuff.
I play lots of games on it via emulators, and some native gaming with PUBG and the new COD Mobile. No noticable temp increases.
This one is out of this world LOL!
