I made this grip case out of a cheap TPU case and some neoprene fabric I had lying around.
It works really well!
Here's how I did it:
Cut some neoprene (or any thick stretchy) fabric 5cm x 12cm
Get a needle, some pliers and a gas or electric stove (gas works faster)
Hold the needle with the pliers and heat the pointy tip until it is red hot
Then, poke a hole into the back of the TPU case, this is where you're going to sew it on
Poke a row of 10 holes at the bottom
Poke another row of 10 holes just under the camera
When threading the needle, do a "double thread" meaning, run 2 threads into the hole instead of one. This way, you are sewing double the amount of threads and it should be more strong.
I sewed the neoprene on in one direction and then back again
Do this for the top and the bottom.
You're done!
This case costed me <$5 since I bought the TPU case on Amazon on sale. My TPU case is rough because my initial idea was to glue the neoprene onto the back so I roughed it up, but I didn't think that would be strong enough to hold, plus it just seemed hard to glue in place since the neoprene would be stretched out.
I really like this type of case because:
It's very secure.
It's not bulky.
It comes on and off easy if I need to swap the battery.
It lies down flat without any issues.
It works just fine in any car mount.
It works just fine with wireless charging.
In addition, I added a tempered glass protector on the front, so my phone is protected on all sides. I bought the .40mm 9H glass protector from aliexpress.com for $6 shipped.
If you can't sew, they make cases like this except they're really expensive, and the strap isn't very wide at all. I think mine is superior to the ones you can buy because the strap is wider but the whole thing is less bulky than a FlyGrip or other brand name options.
Obviously, a bulky case will offer more protection but the best protection is to prevent yourself from dropping the phone in the first place.

Good to see some DIY stuff on here. I won't try it, as i'd surely end up poking myself more than the case with that needle.
Looks bad but make a real production and it might be useful for someone else.

does the case stay on the phone securely?
I just saw that. Might have to try it for my son's 8125. He didn't like the aluminum case -- said it felt like he was carrying around a brick in his pocket-- and he REFUSES to use a belt clip (as in with the leather case I bought him). This might be an alternative solution to BOTH of those for him. Doesn't look as bulky to me as the aluminum case.
Cases
Hi there. This case looks nice. Please let us know if you give it a try. I just received a leather case. I sort of like it but always looking for something better.
Hey, I've got a crystal case on its way so once I receive it I'll post about it. It should be here by the middle of this week.
Hi there. I went ahead and ordered that crystal case as well. Should be here early this week.
I also just ordered the crystal case. Its coming form Hong Kong. So its probable a cheap rip off.
But I hate the leather case that came with my 8125.
And the alum cases is like carrying a paper weight around.
I think once the cheap plastic molds to your phone it will be nice.
Should be here next week also.
And I'll give it a good review.
Case Logic
Hi there. Received my crystal case from Hong Kong. Don't like it. The back piece just is not secure enough and I can see the phone popping off and flying head first into a cement floor and goodbye $428 Ebay non insured Phone. So far the leather case I bought is the winner of cases. I just don't like having to unsnap it every time I use the keyboard, and the phone can push out of the top with a little pressure. Still searching for the ultamate case.
Alright, I finally got my crystal case.
Pros:
-It was cheap, so at least I didn't waste alot of money.
-The front part of the casing stays on very well.
-It looks really nice.
-Keeping it clipped on my belt and using it without having to take it out of a leather case is convienient.
-The screen Protector works very well.
-*Most* of the buttons on the phone are still easily accessible.
Cons:
-The back part of the casing does not stay on well.
-It's really annoying to release the phone out of the belt clip. Even more annoying than having to take the phone out of a leather case.
-The two halves of the case don't fit well together, so the edges are uneven.
-With the keyboard slid out, the two soft buttons at the top of it are almost covered by the top of the case, making them really hard to use.
-The case also almost covers the Camera button, making that feature of my phone a pain to use.
Overall, I'm not really impressed, and I would not recommend buying one. The worst part about the case is that the back half of it won't stay on (that's right, the part that clips onto your belt), which worries me because I don't want to turn my phone into a paperweight while walking down the street. Even clipping it into the belt clip and just pulling slightly on the front of the phone, the whole back of it came right off. The front stays on too well and is a pain to take off. A good idea, a good attempt at a case, but not the best engineering.
Ok, I give you the ultimate case. For me anyway. It has replaced my wallet. The main part of the case I got off of ebay I think. It was actually for an audiovox pda. Search on ebay for XV6700 or PPC6700. The phone and screen location match the wizard.
It has three credit card slots for my most used cards. It has slot for full size sd card and stylus holder. (The one in the phone sucks am I right?) It certainly doesnt fit in a pocket (not even a large one) but the belt clip swivels, and is very tight. I clip it on my pants when I ride my motorcycle, and even at 70-80mph it has not fallen off yet. You actually have to yank pretty good to get it off (I know that doesnt sound too clean, you know what I mean) The snap is magnetic so it is also very secure, and the phone will not come out unless you open the flap.
I had to cut a hole in the bottom elastic so I can charge the phone while it is in the case, and I drilled a hole in the leather where the ear speaker is just in case I need to quickly answer the phone.
The extra pouch on the side is just a credit card case I bought at walmart. It was in the section by their dayplanners. I used some auto trim tape to stick it on.

this is a modification of the original box of the g-tablet.
after having issues with my net-book's screen while carrying it on my backpack i realized that needed to start protecting my devices from my clumsiness in the future.
so after careful thinking a i decided that the perfect way was to use the original box since it already had the edges to fit well the tablet in such a way i wouldn't move and a top cover protecting the screen. well, i pretty much was broke after buying the tablet so i had no choice. besides i don't plan to sell it forward. too bad it ruins the collectors value loll.
i didn't cut it well due to lack skills with the scissor but i bet anyone else can do a better job. i ended gluing everything up and so far has served the purpose.
heres some pics of my masterpiece lol.

yeah i didn't think of that when i bought it back in February but the idea is basically taking the rubber parts that fit the tablet still and putting them on a stronger base made of the same box. then taking the top cover and cutting the edges to fit the base.
you could just use a different box or material along with the rubber parts as well.
i also made a stand with a cheap Chinese-made car stand for GPS. I'm so frugal he! and now i even have the money to buy these stuffs but i just feel better doing it myself.
Done on the cheap!
Now what you do is go to your local thrift store and find a pair of leather or pleather pants or jacket and get some spray on adhesive and a heat gun. Cut the material to fit the outside of the box there and spray both the box and material with adhesive. let them set up for a few min to get nice and tacky and stick them together making sure you dont get any air bubbles. Make sure you leave enough to wrap around the edges about an inch or so and stick to the inside of the case as well. Get some felt or something soft and cut a piece to go on the lid to hide the overlaps of the leather and give the front of your tablet something soft to rest against. Same Idea goes for under the tab inside the foam rubber. Add yourself a clasp with a button or Velcro on the bottom side and walla you have a nice looking leather/pleather case for your tab on a very very cheap budget.

I thought this was funny. I could almost see someone in a thrift store folding up pleather pants into a small rectangle and holding it under their arm to see what it would look like....
Totally genious! I still have my box from when I got my tab in February. I'm totally doing this and then spray tack a pair of cut up jeans onto it!
Ghetto Fabulous!
I found this little gem for $3.21 on Amazon. The dimensions looked good, I know CaseCrown makes a solid product and for less than $10 with shipping it was worth a try. In my opinion it's very nice fit, quality build and looks a helluva lot better than your average black messenger case.
Here's the link if anyone wants to grab one
Instead of just saying "yah it's nice!" I wanted to post some pics and a little review for those interested. Some of the pics aren't the greatest but they still get the idea across. I'm still waiting for my dock to arrive and once it does I'll update this post accordingly.
My needs: I carry my tablet daily and actually do use it for work. Up until now I had been using a very solid neoprene sleeve from BUILT NY (10" hardback "hoodie") but it wasn't terribly convenient to carry or open and remove the tab on the fly. I needed a case that would protect my tablet, allow me to carry a few smaller items (phone, memory wallet, etc) but still gave me easy access to the tablet with as little bulk as possible.

The Fit: The tablet slips in the case nicely without the corners or sides rubbing against the zipper. Overall It's a comfortable fit, not overly snug like forcing it into an iThing case nor is the tablet flopping around inside while I walk. Like most laptop and netbook cases there are elastic straps on the bottom corners and vinyl straps on the top corners for holding the base and the screen in place. The tablet slips under the elastic ones just fine, hopefully with the dock in place it will be a snug fit. I don't plan on getting a folio but there does seem to be enough room to accommidate one if you just wanted a slim carrying case for your folio'd tablet.
There is an odd little padded "flap" along the seam that must serve some purpose for the device this was designed for. I fold it down over the screen for the extra bit of protection. Folding it under the tab does prop it up by a few degrees but doesn't really improve the view of the screen.
The front pouch accomidates my phone (Evo with an Otterbox Commuter case), memory card wallet, keys and a pack of gum pretty well. The Transformer's charging brick does fit but it distends the vinyl to a point where I think it would leave a permanent imprint over time. I haven't tried it yet but the pouch looks big enough to hold a 7" tablet if you really wanted to geek out.
The Quality: CaseCrown makes a solid bag. I've owned two of their products in the past and both times I was quite happy with the build quality for the price. The stitching isn't frayed or loose (no dangly ends or loose threads) and the material itself doesn't feel cheap or chintzy. The zipper pulls, strap rings and buckles on the shoulder strap are metal so I'm not worried about something wearing out or suddenly snapping.
The memory foam padding is a few mm thick and absorbs daily bumps and dings well. I wouldn't toss it out a window or anything but if I happened to drop it on concrete or marble I wouldn't be concerned with the survival of the contents. The front pouch has a thinner layer of padding inside the flap; it's enough to be there but not enough to add any bulk. Assuming you don't put anything too fragile in the pouch it should be enough.
The strap is just over 1" wide and feels like the same webbing they use to make seatbelts. There is an adjustable shoulder pad on the strap but so far the case is light enough that the pad becomes an annoyance. As I mentioned before the buckles and adjusters are metal and feel very solid. I prefer to have messengers like this land just below my hip bone but with the strap at maximum length it lands directly on my hip (6'2" 160lbs, for a frame of reference).
I think the big downside to this is the vinyl outside. It feels thick and looks good but if you manage to puncture or cut it you'll have a permanent hole in your case (short of some E-6000 and a patch kit) which could lead to problems down the road.
The Overall: If this is the style your looking for you won't find a better bag for the money. It's not extremely rugged but I'm not the sort to take my tablet hiking, into combat or around a construction site. Hopefully it's still useful once my dock arrives.
I took more than enough pictures and you can find them all here.
Id be all over that if it were black!

They do have black variations floating around. I have the exact same bag except in black and without the shoulder strap. I originally got it for my netbook a year ago or so. I realized that when I got my tablet that many of my carrying accessories for my netbook would also fit my tablet. Works wonderfully.

In Black
This is what I'm going to pick up for my Transformer & dock.
Paid 22 shipped on ebay. It consists of a silicon case with a plastic shell that clamps over and covers the back.
*Pictures where I get home at 5 PM*
The fit is nice. The plastic shell clamps on tight enough that the silicone is all held very tightly in place. No wiggling around like standard silicone cases. The cutouts are all in the right locations for my ATT model. The buttons work well and seem fairly sturdy. Have to see how they hold up over time. Have not and do not plan to purposefully drop my phone but it seems as if the protection would be decent. It has thick rubber bumpers at all four corners. There is also a lip all the way around the face side that would protect the screen from hitting a flat surface. The only downside is it does increase the weight of the phone, some of its stock impact resistance is from its very light weight. My "opinion" is that the phone would be protected from impact but be subjected to higher Gs. Probably a net positive since in stock form landing on a corner would be bad.
As far as aesthetics and feel: The phone is quite a bit larger. I would say it roughly doubles the phones thickness and probably twice as heavy.

I had that case, (bought it at AT&T when I got the phone) in the end it was too thick, I kept taking it off because it wouldn't fit in my pockets comfortably. In the end, I went with the Case-Mate Pop. Similar protection, yet doesn't have the bumpers. In my opinion, the bumpers made the case way too big.

I just got my Ballistic SG for the SGS2 yesterday (Black/Blue)... good price ($20.20 shipped eBay... and now I see it for $18.99 shipped). You're either going to love this case or hate it, depending on your phone use/ protection objectives. Pros: fit is exceptional, covered buttons actually have a better feel than bare.. very responsive, easy to press. The soft inner shell fits tight once the outer hard shell is put on... so edges are nicely raised over the screen (and camera) with no annoying flappy play (like some TPU cases). If your primary objective is protection, this is the case for you. With the slightly oversized bumper corners, seems like you could bounce this phone off the concert and it would rebound back up without incident. Also, the noise-cancellation mic (top of phone next to jack) is not covered as the case has a perfect cutout for mic and jack. Cons: as OP states, it does add size and weight. Size to me is actually a bonus as I used to have an Infuse and this GS2 seemed small in my hand... now with case, size it perfect. Weight addition is noticeable; but I suspect over a few days use, it will become a non-issue.

Love this case but..... Great protection, looks good, no covered holes, buttons easy to push. The thing that is driving me bonkers isn't the additional size this case packs on, it's the type of rubber used for the wrap. It's a 'sticky' rubber and pulls my pocket out with it on all my pants. Wish it were a more smooth, slicker rubber that would slide out of my pants better (Thats what she said, right?)
I have had it since day one, love it, a few good drops, the kids.....phone still looks like it is brand new, and the case has a life time warranty. I'm happy

I have the black/blue one. I just love it. It fits awesome, no flimsy corners or so.
My case of choice for my past 2 devices. Dropped the phone a few times and the bumpers bounced it back up. Still looking good as new. Does add some extra weight but it to me it makes the phone feel much better in my hands.
i like this case..but........rather get a otterbox for 5 bucks more
Picked it up the att store, returned it no less than 20 minutes. They Guy gave some some crazy eyes doing it. Picked up the case mate pop black case. Overall happy so far, gonna use this until I decide what to do. May get the commuter still. If the SG did not have those stupid bumpers I would have kept it.

I actually bought the commuter case on Amazon for 23 bucks free shipping. The commuter covers more of the front screen than the pop case mate. I paid 38 Buck for this case at att so cheaper pricing is better. Otterbox will also send replacement silicon wraps if you complain about looseness or case seating problems. Different strokes for different folks I always say. No screen protector though, gorilla glass has never scratched on me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Cut and pasted from my Amazon Review (added pics to the bottom of this post):
"It's nice... but a few things keep it from being perfect. I have been using this combo for over a week. Before describing the pros and cons, I want to say that overall, I like this product and will keep it.
First, the bad... Let me say that I like Seidio products and have an extended battery and case for my S3 (now replaced with an S5... no extended battery/case yet Seidio?). One problem both this and the S3 Dilex cases have, is that the harder plastic doesn't reinforce enough of the rubber edges. For the GT Pro 8.4 case, the rubber protection area by the home button feels like a flimsy rubber band because there is no support in that area. This is because of the charging cutout, but would benefit immensely by designing the hard plastic shell to reinforce it... sadly it does not.
Second, I was hoping that the hard plastic shell would be stiff enough to give siginificant structural support (reducing flex). When both hard plastic pieces are installed (hard cover + integral hard plastic shell), this is true, but without the hard stand/cover connected, the hard plastic shell part is really flexible as plastic goes. Not a deal breaker, but would have been appreciated... maybe it will harden up with age.
Now the good parts. I wanted to use a separate tempered glass protector with my case. The rubber liner part of this case easily fits over my tempered glass screen protector (PURCHASED SEPARATELY FROM ANOTHER COMPANY). The glass protector does not fit my tablet perfectly, but the Seidio rubber liner works fine over the areas of the screen protector and the screen protector's imperfections.
I purchased the flip, book style cover as a "might as well have it / just in case" and never imagined how much I prefer to have it connected. I usually have the tablet in the stand for recharging, and take the tablet off around the office building with the flip book cover for portability. I prefer having the book cover when holding the tablet, as it allows me to hold that tablet as a book when not in use, with thumb over the screen, and not like I'm palming a basketball (thumb and fingers across width of tablet). Also, the book cover adds texture to the back when using the tablet, adding to the grip. The flip cover has a low typing angle position and a second steep viewing angle position. The hard plastic cover works with or without the flip book cover, for when I want to use both. Last, the flip cover puts the tablet to sleep. The magnet's are not strong enough to keep the cover closed while holding upside down (probably a good thing as I have not noticed any interference with the tablet's functioning so far).
Finally, the separate hard plastic screen cover is great. The adjustability of the stand allows lower angles for typing (not as low as the flip cover) and steep angles for viewing movies, pictures, etc. The hard cover can be used to protect the screen while traveling, or hook on to the back of the tablet for added protection when in use, or just so that you don't need to store it somewhere while out and about. I think it actually feels better while using the tablet with the hard cover installed on the back. Maybe not for smaller hands, but I wear size large gloves to give you a basic idea of hand size to comfort level. However, if the flip cover is installed with the hard plastic cover on back, the flip cover loses some of its stand functionality... not a big deal since you now have the option to use two different stands by taking the 2 seconds to take the cover off the back.
Would I have just bought an Otterbox Defender if I were to start over? Well... that's a hard one. I paid more, and probably had to wait an extra 2 weeks for both my Chinese imported tempered glass screen protector and Seidio case to arrive (purchased separately from different companies). My tempered glass screen protector doesn't fit perfectly on the tablet, but looks great. Additionally, I believe that sticking any screen protector on versus laying a clear cover over it (like Otterbox) adds more protection to the screen and tablet (structural integrity). Add to this the pleasant surprise of really loving the flip cover and I am glad I went with the Seidio purchase. However, if you don't want to wait so long for delivery, don't care about having your choice of clear screen protector, and don't want to pay as much (considering the added price of a clear screen protector of your choice), and don't want a flip cover option, I would suggest trying the Otterbox. I have not tried the Otterbox, but after using the Seidio for over a week, I don't find myself wanting anything else."
** I purchased the tempered glass screen protector from TVC mall (China) listed in another user in this section. You can see the area that it does not match in the second to last pic.
***The Flip Cover is detachable. However, you must take the entire case off to detach or reattach it.
****Last pic shows how when the Hard Cover intereferes and disallows the Flip Cover to work as a stand when Hard Cover is attached to the back of tablet.
