hello i have the 5.0 usa version and i was looking for a good protective case. if u guys know any please tell meee
Here's a good one
I'm going to order this case, looks very good and very cheap!
sorry for no real link, i'm too new to post links. pm me and i'll give you the link.
EDIT:turns out that case was a bust. I found another one, but it's 19 bucks plus 6 dollars shipping.
Update to my zagg review; DO NOT BUY INVISIBLE SHIELD! The back protector just peeled up and got a bunch of dirt under the edge just because I stuck it in a leather phone case that was a little snug! Absolute junk! The adhesive they use is worthless! Maybe it is just bad luck, but I doubt it since it has peeled on the front AND back! I am going to rip this junk off and reinstall some awesome xtreme guard for a 10th the price of overated zagg crap!

I bought a ZAGG too, thought it was a case! Crap.
Check out www.rearthusa.com. They have a case for the Galaxy Player
Nintendo Cases for the 5.0!
Hi Folks! I bought my SGP5.0 back in January and still learning my way around it. Its a neat lil gadget and a good choice over the 7+ I was looking to get. Discovered it at the last minute as Best Buy was selling it as an MP3 player!
While at BB, I too wanted a case to keep it in and scoured the store for something that would apply. They had this Nintendo case which works great!
POWER A Pokemon Zip Case for Nintendo DS Lite
Inside it has 2 elastic bands to keep the game secure. For the 5.0, I cut out the upper band as it's not necessary, as the 5.0 will fit rather snuggly in the case. For me to get it out, I just push from the bottom and it pops out. Thats how snug it is! The other half of the case easily holds up to 2 styli and 3 memory cards.
The down side is it does not have a belt clip, but for day to day it does the trick and the case will protect your 5.0! And it's 10 bucks!
If you need a case to carry everything, then go to Walmart for this slightly larger case:
POWER A 3DS Mini Transporter Case Blue 3DS Nintendo DS Dsi
The front compartment has a nice pocket to hold your 5.0 with a velcro strap, and styli. The back half can hold 12 memory cards, or if you don't need that many, there's room for your usb cord and ac adapter. This case has a handle that you can loop your belt through to keep it at your side. At the store it was in black as well as blue, and cost $15.
I hope all this helps. I too checked online, but did want to spend a lot of money on a case or wait for Samsung to make one.
Steve
BTW, try one of those small picture frame stands to hold your 5.0 landscape style for watching videos/movies! You'll have to add those little rubber cushions to keep it from sliding, and you may have to shape the stand to better hold the 50, but it works and can be carried easily as it folds.
I have a Riot Outfitters case.Bought from Best Buy. I like the feel of it, and come with a handy kickstand. Though, it did brush of SOME paint in about 3 months. Still, i would like to see a clear case for the SGP5.0 to see that SEXY back.
Just received my Rearth case with screen protector and now I feel comfortable taking my Galaxy Player everywhere I go. It also looks sexy.
I'll post some photos of my Galaxy Player when I get home.

Yea I bought one of those cases for my US player as well back when they first came out. The thing is, there is a small hole on the bottom for an HDMI port which leads me to believe the case is meant for the Korean player. I also noticed that the case is a bit too long because it does not fit over the front speaker all the way. Although I visited their page recently and noticed that it's been fixed, so I may consider repurchasing.
Rearth Ringke SLIM on SGP5.0 or YP-G70
My Samsung Galaxy Player (US version) fits very well in this case. A few of the first batches were shrunken, but now they have solved the problem. It fits snugly and protects it nicely. There are cutouts for the international version for the antenna and the sim card placement (?). Even with the cutouts, it has protected my device from many drops and falls. It's a good millimeter thick beyond the camera and speakers. It's on Amazon right now for about $16 US.

Just wanted to give you guys and gals a heads up about a new case. It's made by Seidio and looks and feels great on the phone. Adds a bit of bulk to the phone but comes with the holster. I'll try and get some pics up later tonight after the little one goes to bed. It goes for $34. 99 retail. My Best Buy got it in today so they should start being available soon.
Edit... Couple of pictures... Sorry the quality sucks.

My location just received them also today. It does not interfere with the noise canceling mic. The platinum series cases are exactly the same as the surface series cases by seido (they make them for best buy). Retail is $34.99 for the case and clip.
35 for both clip and case?!?!? Isn't that 50 on their own site

The best buy platinum series cases are garbage in my opinion. They're the lowest quality case on the market. They're thick and look cheap. They remind me of the chinese cases they used to mass-produce for the clunkers in the 90s. This is one of Best Buy's most profitable skus in the store, so they hock the hell out of them.
Seriously though, this line is about the worst on the market. They beat the hell out of the back of your phone, and they're so incredibly thick, and have absolutely zero aesthetic charm. There are soooo many better cases and more worthey companies you can support, and get better protection from.
I tend to use BodyGlove Mirage case with seemingly sturdy Platinum holster. Haven't seen either yet for I-777?????

I bet you look like I did in best buy when I tried one on my phone and couldn't get it off. It took a long time and a few sales associates to figure it out.
Use something small and sharp to slide in the minuscule crack along the backside where it joins. Then push that tool down to un-notch it.
That was enough of a PITA for me not to buy the case.

I couldn't disagree any more. The cases are manufactured by Seido which has an excellent reputation online for quality cases. It is their "surface" case rebranded. I will say that the all black color is kind of plain and may not have the "charm" you desire, however I like the simple look. They have felt inside the case to protect the phone from scratching so I'm not sure why you stated it beats up the phone.
To each his own as they say...

this isnt the only case hard to remove. the otterbox cases are just as hard ive had it on 3 different phones the iphone, captivate, and the atrix 4g. u will have just as much trouble and the outside skin covering the hard case on the otterbox will stretch to where it wont stay on. the platinum seidio case i had on my nexus was 10x better than otterbox and the same price and had 3 layers of protection versus 2 for otterbox.
I have had this case for about a month now and love it. I've tried a bunch of cases including the armor shield and I keep coming back to this case. I think its incredibly light and adds almost no bulk. Plus the holster is awesome. The back is a little tricky to get off but after you find the right place to apply pressure to its easy. Took me a few tries but I can unsnap it no problem now. I do like the snap it makes it feel secure.
One note, don't try and put and armor suit on your phone then put it in this case. It will not come back out without some serious prying. I actually am impresses the case is still fully functional with no scratches or anything after I practically had to pry it from the sides of the phone.

I have used Seidio cases/holsters on my smart phones for the last 5 years. On Black Friday, I went to BestBuy and bought 2 case/holster combos for $45. One of these is $49 on the Seidio site. So now, when the holster spring cracks in 6 months, I still have a spare. Quick review.... The case is snug, fits perfectly, has all the correct cutouts, and is secure. And it is easy to get on or off once you get the "feel" for the clip on the back. The holster build quality is the best I have ever had from Seidio. They clearly are improving their product. I have no concerns of it falling off my belt, or popping out of the holster. And it is still easy enough to get the phone out with one hand.
I just got this case/holster at Best Buy today.
I've been a Seidio fan for several years now, this is my 3rd Seidio holster. The previous ones (for HTC Kaiser and HTC Rhodium) didn't require a separate case - they just held the phone "naked". I do like that this case has holes for both the I777 and the international version's placement of the noise-canceling mic.
But ... yeah, it's a bugger to remove the case from the phone until you get the hang of it.
For giggles, I tried out my SGP Neo Hybrid EX bumper case with the Seidio holster - it fits like a glove, so that's another option.
Cool, what kind of screen protector that you have on your phone?
Hello Everyone,
Has anyone come across a Leather case/pouch big enough for the Amaze that will hold a TPU case and the phone? I have a TPU case but want the TPU to fit in the leather case like my old phone did. I have a case of the dropsies and would rather not keep it in my pocket.
D
Looking for the same here.
Leather Case/Holster
Try here maybe?
http://www.daydeal.com/home.php?cat=6230
I haven't actually bought anything from here yet.
Just tried to search up some things for you.
Hope this helps.
I have been looking other sites also. My guesstimation is that with the TPU case on the phone measures 132mm x 70mm x 18mm.
I am digging through that site now.
Thanks,
D
I bought this one, it is a carry over from my HD2. It is a bit large for the Amaze, but I use the inner pocket for two spare batteries. With my Diztronic case, the phone fits quite well.
EDIT: I suppose a URL would be nice. D'oh!

Hey stevedebi would you mind posting up a picture of this holster that you got, front and back?
I'm trying to see about the clip and/or belt loops.
The amazon link doesn't show the back of the holster.
I don't like wearing it the clip since I have a tendency to break them.
Belt loops work so much better for me.
If could post pictures that would be awesome. Thanks!

Take a look at the URL from the company site. It has lots of views. Actually, I ONLY use belt loop, and this one is great - you slip the clip over the belt and it never comes off. I was hesitant at first, but it is great.
I do use a wider belt, about 1.5 inch; I've never used it with a narrow belt.

EDIT: I use the largest one.
I found one that fits perfectly with the tpu case on. I got it with 3 other accessories as well. here's a link
well couldn't post the link due to not having 8 posts yet but i'll still put some pics on I hope lol.
The data cable works but you actually lose charge while its plugged in, the pouch is the best part of it and it came with a clip and 2 belt loops on the back for a belt I have the smoky TPU case for the amaze 4g. This is labeled for the ATT infuse 4g. I'll post some pictures of it here in a bit. Hopefully you can get it separate without the crappy extras.

Hmm I wonder if that will fit the Amaze with a d3o case on it.
HMM....
Looks nice though with the tpu case on it.
Fits with no problems at all? Slides in and out easily?
That case doesn't look anything like the one in the amazon link though.
it was a little snug at first but now it slides in and out easily no problems at all with it. just had to break it in I think.
Premium Executive Horizontal Leather
I think I'm just gonna shell out 4.57 (with shipping) and order this one and see how it goes.
See if it'll fit the phone with a d3o case on it.
If it doesn't work then it doesn't work.
Might even be able to sell it back on Craigslist.

Glad I could help. And on an extra note I was able to use headphones with the phone in the holster.
All I had to do was push the phone up a little from the bottom until the jack appeared.
This may only work with d3o cases because they add so much bulk.
Another thinner case and the phone might slide down to the bottom regardless.
Purchased 3 of these cheap cases and received them today. They fit very snug and what I actually like best is that they cover the power button and volume rocker and when you push on the buttons on the case, you are pushing on phone buttons but it is harder to push so that you don't keep turning off phone by accident and adjusting volume by accident.
Bought for $5.95 each from Cimo Cases on Ebay. Received in 3 days with free shipping. Beats the heck out of paying $30 for same type of case at Att or BBY.
They are nice and thin and make the phone less likely to be dropped because of the grippy sides.
Boxwave sells them too, as do many other sellers, but on Ebay they were less expensive.
Cheers

Thx but I answered my own question too since both arrived last Friday & fit fine. I like this S-line TPU case so much, I'm about to order 2 more for backup. I had a similar TPU case (made by Belkin) on my iPhone 4 with no issues so hopefully there won't be any issues with this one too.
I ordered one and it fits really snug. The bad thing was my volume button didnt work with the case on so i had to cut it open to access it. Its ok overall but I ordered a different case because of it.
-On another NOTE, Samsung goes 5.3"
The volume works just fine on mine. I like the fact that you have to push harder through the case to operate it because without the case I kept hitting the volume and power button by accident. Now no more accidental power downs or volume adjustments.
i just wish I could find a holster that will fit with this on the phone. I love this and have had mine for a month and liked it so well I got it for me SGSII aswell. I found a holster that works with the SGSII very well but that was only because I got the skyrocket holster which compensated for the extra bulk but with the note being the biggest one out there I am at a loss...
I bought this same case in clear color, but due to convenience, I shelled out $20 at a kiosk in the mall.
ouch I think I paid 6 bucks
Yup, got a clear one, both form and function are just fine.
P.S. got it from this guy $1.99 delivered.

Hmmm... I was thinking about getting a white one. Does the whole thing get nasty or is it just the matte part? Have you tried some soap & water?
I Learned that the hard Way from my Old Iphone 4. Never to purchase white tpu cases that weren't glossy and i believe the clear ones turn green or yellow due to the oil from your fingers.
-On another NOTE, Samsung goes 5.3"
i just received this case today and I love it! it was about a week late, but for $6, i cant complain. it fits snug, looks and feels great, and I will probably be ordering an extra.
last note: the ebay add says its for the AT&T 1717, but it comes in a package for the international version. luckily there are no major differences, but the only difference i found is purely cosmetic- that being the camera is not centered properly in the camera cutout, but it doesnt block the lense at all, so its not that big a deal.
Does anyone know where I can find exactly the same case without kickstand?

From where?
I bought XtremeGuard protectors when they were 70% off (I got 2 of them @ $1.50/each). They are pretty good, and the same material as ArmorGuard and InvisiShield. If you are looking for low price, I would recommend them, but they do not cover underneath the center button (they have U-shaped cutouts, rather than holes). Good enough until I can get the InvisiShield on sale. I do like the feel and protection provided by the wet-apply protectors.
I also got "Black Candy Skin TPU Gel Case Cover For LG Optimus L9 P769 (T-Mobile)" from Amazon (was $1.29 + 2.94 S/H). The case is slim, and slips off easy enough, as well as slick enough to not get stuck in my pocket or pick up dirt. They do cover the buttons with indents in the thermo-poly-urethane. The volume buttons work pretty well, but the power button is a little harder to use. It works for now until they develop nicer cases for the phone.

From eBay. I can't post link because i'm noob here and forum doesn't allow me.
EDIT:
by the way, if you look for L9's screen protector / L9's case at eBay or AliBaba, you'll find it.
I got the Case today, I got this on ebay for $9.50 with free shipping and its called P769 3 in 1 Travelers hard case holster. there are 2 color available white and black with a rubberize finish on it, i got the white one for now.
I really like this case, at first i was thinking of not using the Holster because I just want a 1 piece hard back cover for the P769. but this case and holster works really well together so im going to use both. the holster can be also a landscape/portrait stand for the phone. the case slide to the holster smoothly both in and out and feel secured when they are attached together.
Pro:
Fits very well
Ports are well cut
Feels great to hold
Good build Quality
Good price
3in1
Cons
rubber Finish might chip soon
No other color
Holster clip is not that strong
Nice!
Do you have a picture of the clip?
Does the phone slide out or snap out?
p.s. This thread needs to be moved under accessories sub-forum.
Looks cool, what is that launcher you are using? or is it rooted
I got the EZguard Screen protector for $4 (4pcs) on ebay and its 100% GARBAGE!!!
The screen protector is already scratch up out of the envelope, installing instruction is somewhat not clear... I read somewhere that it supposed to be wet install but still its pure garbage i tried it. i still got 2 out of 4 screen protector.. well its $4 cant complain anymore.
Im going to get the Skinomi or IQ LIQuidskin on amazon later. they got good reviews so i think that should work.

I got a Black Leather case ( Made in Korea ) free with my Optimus L9 P765 ( Rs 18,000 from Kolkata )
No screen protector available in local stores yet, will check next month.

NO... maybe if you want the clip off it will be for good. yet there will be a teeth gear like circle on the holster. (that gear is for stopping the holster to change your preferred orientation)
Does this case work well? Anyone here tried it?
Optimus-T-Mobile-Hybrid-Black-Shape/dp/B00ASSP0V8/ref=pd_sim_cps_4
Paste that after amazon.com/, because XDA won't let me post links.
Also,the only screen protectors I see on Amazon are the EZtrash screen protectors. I have heard these are awful. Are there others that work better, or is it just a matter of waiting?

I have this case. It does work well. The "kick stand" will prop the phone up in both landscape and portrait orientations.
The case does add a little bulk. It has a silicon/rubber soft layer that goes around the phone and a hard shell that wraps around that. Should provide good protection.

Since this case was close to what I wanted: A "clam shell" case for the phone to put in my pocket, I went ahead and bought it in black.
The clip came off very easily. Too, easily. I'd be afraid to let my phone dangle from my belt with that clip.
Anyway, as you pointed out, there was a "gear like circle" protruding from the case after the clip was taken off. I carefully removed it and made it flush with rest of the plastic with a dremel tool. I doesn't look too bad.
Bought this universal case with elastic edges for $14.99 from Target. Magnetic front clasp. Phone fits snugly, very comfortable to hold or wear in pocket-feels secure (feels cumbersome on belt). Added screen saver for L9 from T-Mobile for additional $16 (believe). Screen protector was well worth it to cut fingerprint grease.
bought 2 of these phones for my parents and was looking around for good quality cases. Just thought I'd share my findings :
1) For my mom : Tech21 White snap case for LG optimus L9 P769 (refer to T-Mobile Website, shows middle camera hole) :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/151027412771?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
2) For my dad : Body Glove case with stand (reviews in amazon are excellent)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/150992696200?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
The two companies also have several other cases available for P769 (middle camera hole version), just lookup Tech21 or Body Glove Optimus L9 case..hope that helps for members looking to find quality case for this *mid-range-and-obscure* phone. Phone's arriving tomorrow! Cant wait.
Cheers!
I'm sorry I didn't see this thread before (It didn't even show in search) so I made another... Mods, feel free to close my thread.
Anyway... Here's mine
IllumiShield 3 pack screen protectors - $7.65
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380614141569
My review: EXTREMELY well cut. Edge to edge protection done proper. Very easy to install. And they are actually antibubble.
Highly recommended. Ordered on a Monday, got them today (Thursday) - Ships from California
Future Armor Ballistic Case - $12.95
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281090273071?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
My review: VERY nice. Feels nice in the hands. Only adds about 1/8th inch all the way around. The seller is also very easy to work with. I had an issue with the case (rubber coating wasn't correct in one spot) and she immediately shipped a replacement.
Again, Highly recommended. Ordered on a Friday, got it on the following Monday - Ships from New York

I too ordered these first... And also had the exact same issues you do/did. Needless to say, I sent them this email (coped word for word) and was refunded. Then I order what's in my previous post above this one, and they are wonderful! Here's the email"
After receiving 6 of these screen protectors, I must say, they suck. I was expecting to keep a few as backups later on, but no... This item is so ****ily made that I used 5 of them to even get it close. I threw the 6th in the trash, because that's about the only thing it is good for. I have never had issues installing a screen protector. Its normally pretty straight forward and easy. Not this product. The moment the backing is pulled off, the static cling attracts every dust particle in the known universe before you can even line the damn thing up. Even after lining it up...FIVE TIMES, the things still weren't cut correctly. But, I guess you get what you pay for, so my bad.

Image 2......Wireless charging???
Just got my OP5 and cases are not available yet.
I don't any risk of damaging my brand new phone so i compared the dimensions with other phones.
The Huawei P10 Plus has similar dimensions so i'll pick up a softcase today and see if i can modify it a bit (button and camera hole cut) and see if it wil fit for a couple of weeks.
As a temporary fix since I didn't get a case either (sold out) as I was transferring Sims from my OP3 and noticed just how similar the phones are in size even if the screen is a little larger on the 5. So I put the Spigen case for my 3 on the 5, obviously the camera cutouts are wrong, but that could be easily fixed with an xacto knife.
TL;DR I put my OP3 case on my 5 until I can get a proper case for it.
@Jowhee - How about buttons? Do they fit?
Yes, I ended up using scissors to cut (hack) out an opening for the cameras and flash, I also widened the speaker port in the bottom a little. Headphone jack and USB are fine, they even work with my dock.

thanks for the info. based off your recommendation I went ahead and ordered a ringke fusion case that will get here monday. Ill modify it and use it until we get some good cases for the op5 itself.
I just took some of my Orzly OnePlus 3 cases from last year, and make a camera cut out while I wait for my actual oneplus 5 cases to arrive! Was hard work and the cases were tough to cut but totally worth it!

I have extra op3 case that fits perfect. Just can't use camera until New case comes. Im fine for time being. I feel much better using it with a case. Had note 3 fell out of my basketball shorts and cracked the screen. Would have been avoided with a case.
How about the oppo R11 case. Saw from. Gizmo China that it will fit on op5, considering both phones are identical with the casing. Just need to figure out how to make a small hole for the notification slider. The bumper case from Oneplus is a bit pricey, I would rather use the fund to get an extra dash charger to put it in my office.
oneplus 3 case fits just fine. just cut a hole for the camera lol
Guess I was lucky with my order, arrived yesterday
Luckly enough in alot of places you can get quailty cases from companies like Orzly within a few days
Man, still using a ringke case for the 3. I ordered one from China, one from what I thought was in Cali but turns out a drop shipper from China, and the orzly case off amazon which ships from England, all on the same day I ordered the phone.
Sucks to be in the states sometimes lol.
I ordered a clear silicone case from Amazon from KP technology. Purchased on 27th and receive 29th. £2.99 worth buying just to protect your phone for the time being.
Just buy an Oppo R11 case, it's basically the same phone, the camera is mounted in the exact same place.
e.g. :
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nillkin-Super-Frosted-Shield-Hard-Case-Cover-for-OPPO-R11-/172744557507
Only thing is, I think those cases would cover the rear mic.

Just a note on this. The Oppo r11 cases fit but it's not perfect. There is overlap with the power button, and volume keys. The case doesn't go high enough to cover the whole button. On the bottom, the headphone jack is covered up by like 1mm but you can cut it. The mic hole is off too. It works though.
