Case idea

---

I was looking for a case that i could take with me to work so i would not worry about the phone, i'm a gardener and it is inevitable that i get dust and dirt in and around my pockets so i wanted something that would stop this from happenening to my nice new phone.

I tried the pdair leather flip case which isn't great and i had to put it in a pouch before putting it in their in order to keep the dirt out.

But then i saw on here someone saying that a small portable harddrive case may actually fit the sgs well. I did a bit of amazon research and found this case.

The only knock on this case in the reviews was that it was a bit small for a regular portable harddrive and i can confirm after trying to squeeze my seagate freeagent into it that it is a bit tight.. But.. It fits the galaxy S like a dream, and because it has a zip it is extremely good at keeping crap out of the case. Being neoprene it is also pretty protective and i wouldn't worry so much about it if it did take a fall. Also it is fairly water proof. It's well made and fits the with or without a bumper case.

It also has another smaller zip pocket in the side with is ideal for carrying a bit of cash around in. So even though it does bulk up the phone size a little if you use it like a wallet it somehow doesn't seem so clunky.

Just thought i would pass this on for any one looking for a similar solution, and to be honest at £2.49 down from £20 it is an absolute bargain.

Enjoy.

Great idea...

I'll be using my phone as main mp3 player too - is it possible to route headphones in to headphone socket, while maintaining most of the functionality of the case?

I've not got my handset yet either, but I'm guessing there's no space to store an extra microsd under the battery cover? There isn't on my X1, but on other handsets I've had in the past I could, seem to remember being able to on my N95.

That was me... Glad someone took the idea up. May do the same myself.

Yup the head phone hole is just under the side you zip too so it would work perfectly for that, thanks for the idea. :)

Hey thanks man it works great give it a try and for £2.50 it's hardly a huge expense if you don't like it.

Thanks for the heads-up. Have ordered one - just need to order the handset now!
