Arrow Cases for Galaxy W

Hi Guys,

Just wondering what cases you guys are using, and whether you have any recommendations at all?

I just picked up a brand new Galaxy W for a very good price on eBay and am interested in using the Galaxy W daily for a while, trying out some of the Development in this section.

I have an outdoors job so prefer bulky/rugged cases, but would love to hear your thoughts on any and all cases, and some photos if you are able!

Cheers!

I got this on Amazon a few months ago:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0075VZORQ

It's just made of semi-hardened "gel" plastic, but I've dropped the phone numerous times since I got the case and it's protected it perfectly IMHO.

I don't know what the postage/shipping to Australia will be, but if it's cheap, it may be worth a go?

Thanks mate. I have a bit of a soft spot for TPU cases, that one looks good with the 'S' pattern down the back. Does it fit nice and snugly? Ports all line up okay?

Cheers

yep, as ilyamodder says, it fits perfectly, all the ports are accessible (the usb port cover can be a bit hard to open with big fingers, but I just take the cover off when charging )

Got it and a bunch of styluses (stylii? ) for just under €10 inc postage, though postage will be a bit more for you

The case itself does make the phone slightly more bulky though (which is usually no bad thing imho)

I recommend the case highly

Any case will do fine but for the best protection choose a TPU-Gel case. If you wanna choose another kind rather than gel, make sure that case covers the top and bottom otherwise your top part will get dented like mine

I love NillKin gear. They make very sexy cases and the best screen protectors on the market. Unfortunately, the hard snap-on cases don't protect top and bottom, which is a definite no-go for me Do you know if they do a TPU for the Galaxy W? I have the smoked TPU for my One X, and it's amazingly good quality.

EDIT: I just found, and bought, my favourite NillKin case ever:

Exactly my thoughts friend Coverage on all sides is very important to me, I am very fussy about scratches on my toys!

I ended up going with these ones:



The all-black looks pretty good!

Keep the suggestions coming, I love to see how you guys protect your toys!
