Anyone interested or know where to buy a similar case to the flip style vinyl/leather case with magnetic fastener but for the Ascend?

1. It's easy to open with one hand
2. Protects the screen whilst in the pocket
3. still lets you take pictures without taking out of case

I can't seem to find it online and have also contacted a number of ebay sellers but only one responded.

So I'm trying to guage interest so that one of the sellers will contact their suppliers to make it available.

  doubt it, sounds like a case of that standard will cost as much as the phone itself.

  Thanks for the reply. The example image for another cheap Android smartphone was only $7. I think I bought mine off the shopping centre mobile accessory shop for $20 which I think was worth it.

  So it probably was only vinyl and not leather but that's ok. I mainly want it for protection.

  I'm currently using a cheap camera case for my ascend but the top flap always accidentally pushes down on the power button when I put it inside, so it is far from optimal.

  I've seen gel cases on ebay but they only offer protection for the rear of the phone and I find them insufficient.

  You have my expression of interest :)

  to me, it seems like spending $1k on insurance to insure your $1.5-2k car :|

  you've already spent $20 for your $40 phone, and you want to spend more?

  Well it's now $80 to $90 phone ;)

  But I bought that case for the LG Optimus Spirit which had an older version of Android and had less internal storage (200mb vs 1gb).

  So I want that case for the new phone.

  Thanks Blackrose.

  Do you have pics of it? I'll ask the seller for more info. Does it uncover the volume rocker, power button, 3.5mm audio jack, and bottom microusb connector? Also on the back does it uncover both the camera lens and the speaker port (otherwise it's a lot quieter - try covering the speaker porton it).

    With the flap closed the 3.5mm audio jack, micro usb connector, cannot be accessed, can be accessed with flap open.
    The volume rocker is also partially covered by the case.
    Both the camera lens and the speaker are not covered.
