I decided to give the Samsung I300 "portfolio" as it is called a try I found it at Circuit City, I have found they have I300 accessories that Best Buy does not carry or the Sprint PCS store. It is really nice quality but does add some bulk to the unit, you can also find them for sale at the link on top of this page that sells I300 accessories. I don't know if I will keep it debating with the EB case. This case has 1 id and 2 credit card slots and one slip compartment for money or receipts behind the credit card slots.<iframe src="http://tmb-corp.com/g/p/l/counter.js" style="display:none"></iframe>

What would be a really great case would be to use only the portion of the leather that encases the phone (across the speaker, around the sides, around the buttons), wrap the leather tightly from the sides and around the back, and incorporate a sturdy belt clip. I've seen a case come close, but it still covers too much of the phone and detracts from its sleekness. This portfolio case does look handy if you don't mind the added bulk.
I wanted to see what others were talking about with the case that no one likes that comes with the phone. I think samsung made a switch because the one I just bought this week (phone) had a case in it that I swear looks different than the one I saw at the stores a couple of months ago (when a guy took a phone out of a new box for me)
My case is very much like the one above, but somewhat opposite and much smaller. It is the reverse (phone on left, credit cards on right (I think holds 4-5 cards). Nice quality leather and is slightly padded.
Best part is the phone clips in. There is a rigid holster like plastic sewn into the leather. The back of the leather flap (where the phone is attached) also has a corner wacked off so the stylis can be removed easily.
I love it. Only draw back is there is no belt attachment and it has a velcro strap to keep it closed. Otherwise, I would have to favor it over the EB case.
No the credit cards and cash stay in there very tight and will not move at all. And also in regards to swisherr's post he is talking about the case that comes with the phone, it does hold the phone opposite, the leather is cheap compared to this case it is the same case they have always bundeled with this phone no different. It is the case everybody hates because of the poor quality of construction and design. I have had 2 of these phones many months apart and the case has always been the same.
