I guess you realize that theres already included a screen protector with the SGP case? I was looking at there web page and they doesnt seem to make any other protector than the steinheil?

Can you see if you can see any difference?

Edit: Didnt se the other posts you made. But it still doesnt say on mine what the included screen shield is.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cmd512:
I think all the SGP cases come with an Ultra Crystal, which is what my SGP case came with. Doesn't hurt to have backups, I don't mind the extra protectors.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mattism78:
Definitely interested in the review of the SGP Capsule case. The white one looks amazing.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cmd512:
The Soul Black capsule is a really good fit. All the cut outs are SPOT on. Only gripe is that it leaves fingerprints on the shiny back surface, shows up like crazy on the black metallic color.

I bet white will hide that a whole lot better. If so, I'll pick one of those up as well.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mattism78:
How does it attach? Does it stretch over, or is it a 2 piece case?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cmd512:
Stretches over the edges.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Little Dragon:
pleaseeeeeeeee post some pics of the case (esp. the black one!)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cmd512:
If you're talking about the SGP ultra capsule case, sure thing. I'll do that when I get home, only camera on me is inside the case currently. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cmd512:
Ask and you shall receive... SGP Ultra Capsule "Soul Black". Notice the metallic flakes in the case, and how every single hole/cut-out is only as big as it needs to be and lined up PERFECTLY.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] RMXO:
I got the SGP Silke on ebay & its awesome. Way more expensive then the 2.50 case I got on Amazon. Fits like a glove. Came with a screen protector but I don't like how their edges never stick for me. Gonna wait for my Skinomi to arrive.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] krabman:
Looks good. I have a casemate tough case which is evidently coming from the old country strapped to the back of a sea turtle which will hopefully get her someday. Assuming I take issue with that one how is the grip factor with this one, I like the look and the fit appears good but I dont like slippery cases.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mur76:
which is better the SGP Silke case or the Ultra capsule

Thanks for the photos, can you confirm which s2 you have the Korean or International version. There is some debate if some versions of the phone are thicker than others. Not sure if its related to the NFC or not.

Looks a really nice case!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] silverwolf0:
Looking for a wallet/case that is really thin. A lot of the leather ones are thick and meaty with magnets and metal buttons. I'm looking for cheap walmart pleather type thin or maybe just a plastic wallet/sleeve combination. I want to combine my wallet and phone but keep it still very thin. Don't take a lot of cards or cash. Anyone seen anything like this? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Little Dragon:
very nice! now thinking that this is the case to get! how much bulk did it add and did it attract dust??
[Galaxy S II Accessories] padlad:
I am after the same, i got one for my Galaxy s for 99p which was a bargain, it held a couple of credit cards and space for notes, only ones i can find are around 12-15 quid, i am not paying that! I am sure there will be some cheap ones soon.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mur76:
only seen this one:

http://lnk.nu/cgi.ebay.com.au/1o18

but also this one is highly respected manufacturer (hand made in France i believe) Proporta:

search Proporta in google. the pouch is with lifetime warranty and quite slim. not sure on price, but that with some slim wallet could be better, i.e. not all your eggs in one basket :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cmd512:
Yeah, it is a bit slippery compared to the cheap-o silicone case I had previously from eBay. But, it definitely has more grip than the bare phone and not super tacky like the silicone case where it will pull out your pocket lining everytime you want to use your phone. :)

I purchased my phone from the UK from Handtec, so it is definitely not the Korean version.

It added approximately 2mm of bulk from what I can tell. Honestly, the bare phone was way too thin for me (6'2", decent sized hands), so the phone feels much better now.

I'm not sure what you mean by dust, but no, I cannot see any dust on the case. However, as I mentioned in another thread, it does get a bit "greasy" with finger prints on the back of the case given how slick it is. But, this will probably be less of a problem if you get the white/lighter colored version.

Need Help Deciding Which Case To Buy.

I'll be getting a Galaxy S2 soon and wanted to know which case is better in terms of quality,

http://www.clove.co.uk/case-mate-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-gelli-case-clear

- According to the item description, this case features Flexible thermoplastic - softer and more robust than silicone or rubber

http://www.clove.co.uk/case-mate-samsung-galaxy-ii-i91000-barely-there-black

- According to the item description, this case has a cutting-edge appearance with its rubber matte finish

- Contains, Impact resistant flexible plastic shell

I only want to buy one of the two cases mentioned above. Are both cases TPU? What is a flexible plastic shell? Is the same as TPU? I specially want a case that is matte finish. If the 1st case mentioned above is TPU, shouldn't be matte. I'm having some trouble telling the differences.

Please let me know. Thank you. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Beards:
After a couple of messages with the seller, I took the plunge today and ordered a Zenus E'stime in Chocolate Brown.

Seller gave full sizes of his cases:-

Zenus items,such as Masstige Bar, E'stime Color Point Series, designed for 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.49 (mm).

SGP items, such as ARGOS Series, designed for 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.89 (mm).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mur76:
Hi please review the case as soon as you can after getting it as i'm torn between this and the SGP, which i like but has no protection for the screen, whereas this seems really good but looks like the top is exposed.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Beards:
No problem... I fully intended anyway to review the case including photo's..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mur76:
Thanx look forward to review
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Richdog:
Look forward to some feedback... mainly how much bulk it adds in reality, and also how practical the flap is when answering calls and randomly getting the phone out to use all the time. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Beards:
Will include...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] brandenk0:
My SGP Ultra Silke case just arrived and first impressions are pretty good. The case doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone (barely any actually) and it fits nice and snug on my phone. Also, it gives you a better grip on the phone. There isn't any added material for grip but it gives you a better hold on the phone than not having anything on. The only thing that might be a problem is, the top right corner is uncovered because this was made to also fit the Korean version which has an antenna but, other than that this seems to be a really good case.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] :
Thanks for the pics. What does the front look like with the case on?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cmd512:
Here you go, please hit me up with a Thanks if it was helpful! :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] :
Indeed, sir. My thanks. Hell of a case! I just wish it was matte instead of shiny.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cmd512:
It definitely is shiny and takes a bit getting used to. But, I came from a super grippy silicone case that would pull out my pocket linings everytime I tried to get it out of my pockets... that got annoying real quick too. :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mur76:
hi, does it attract dust? or get sticky when in and out of pocket
[Galaxy S II Accessories] silverwolf0:
Thanks. That linked one seems much thinner than the leather wallet cases I've seen on ebay, but still looks kind of awkward to put in your pocket since it is a diary/book style cover which makes it big. Was hoping there were TPU or maybe slim hard cases that had a flap in the back that could hold money/cards and such. Lol maybe I should just get one of those really thin plastic wallets and glue one side to the back of a hard case. Or maybe I could just put my wallet and phone in the same pocket and call it a day. I am reconsidering why I need this to begin with... :D

Edit: Now I remember. Becuz I sometimes end up forgetting one or the other!

BTW This case looks AWESOME!

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Andy2.2:
Undecided about getting a flip case.

I'm thinking the way it flips down, could make answering calls and watching movies etc awkward :confused:

But it would save having to apply a screen protector :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kersh:
I have the same in my hands and the stand works nice, but the gel of the case is a little hard (easier to use in jeans), so it will not protect the phone like a true silicone case if you drop it, and the minijack hole for the headphones is too small and needs a little bit of engineering with a drill or a metal needle to make it bigger and fit the plug
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Hampa_D:
nice mini review, thank god i use a mw600 bt stereo headset so the minijack would not be an issue for me
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Hampa_D:
nice mini review, thank god i use a mw600 bt stereo headset so the minijack would not be an issue for me. i have used TPU (gel) cases a couple of years now and i must say they are far better than silicone ones which tends to lose its shape pretty quick.

So did I. Check out my estimated delivery date:

wtf.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] soraxd:
ugh.. you british people spell everything so weird..

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Richdog:
The Zenus Masstige case with stand looks very nice...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Fornowagain:
I had a Zenus on SGS, lovely case but I had a hell of job getting it. Had to wait till it got out into the market, the Korean site was a nightmare. I really want one of these, guess I'll have to be patient.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] renegade1488:
weirdly :p
[Galaxy S II Accessories] turborider:
my old HTC HD2 leather case fits perfect on SGs2,i try it on phones4u shop yersterday :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sckc23:
oh the Zenus cases do look good. love the prestige carbon series=)

ps. i wonder what model they are using which has an lcd screen..?!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] acb77:
Hey guys, first post and all. Get my S2 in a few days.

Really like to get my hands on one of the Zenus covers but try as I might cant find anywhere to buy.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] soraxd:
lol i was wonderng that too..

i reallllllllllllllllllly want one of these cases.. but i cant seem to navigate around that korean site, i dont know if they ship internationally, i tried emailing them but they havent responded to me, does anyone else have any information on these cases?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] turborider:
go on Ebay mate u can find lots in there
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Retrox89:
Cant find any Zenus cases for the Galaxy S2 on ebay, just for the galaxy tab and original galaxy s.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Fornowagain:
There aren't any (yet). Old SGS sure. Same happened back at the SGS launch, took a few days before they appeared anywhere but the Korean site. Look around the local Korean markets you'll find them.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] =dave=:
i would like to get something like this one from the galaxy s. but it seems that the are not offering it yet :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nikzDHD:
These look nice as well:

The blue one looks sexy!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Huck33:
http://tridea.kr/front/php/product.php?product_no=111&main_cate_no=1&display_group=2

for korean market only?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Fornowagain:
You can find them if you look in the Korean Gmarket.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mur76:
i would apply a screen protector anyway, even if it was a completely clear one like the SGP ultra chrystal. as all it takes is a couple of sand particle to potentially scratch it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sckc23:
lol for the kitty case :D

btw check out the sena cases. they look really slim and similar priced as the proporta ones. really tempted to get one but couldn't find anywhere selling it at a cheaper price..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nikzDHD:
There's a 20% off code mine has shipped but I will airmail it from USA to UK will take longer but hopefully avoid any later fedex fees!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sckc23:
cheers for the info! how much is it in total inc. postage?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Abra_Cadabra:
I ordered and it came in today. Fits perfectly on my UK GSII - no give / gaps etc. Either this case is made for the non-Korean version or it's made to support both (perhaps the difference in size is small enough that it doesn't matter?)

Generally a nice looking case - very slim and doesn't add any bulk or weight to the device which is what I wanted. Only wish it had more coverage at the top and bottom of the device which are left fairly open. If the phone drops at the wrong angle the case won't take the hit.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dk206:
LOL @ Hello Kitty
[Galaxy S II Accessories] iced_tea:
Been browsing through the xda forums about the Samsung Galaxy S2 and have found this thread to be especially useful! I'll be getting my phone next week and have already bought the SGP Ultra Silke case for it. I'll post up comments on the case once I've fitted it onto my phone. Regarding concerns about whether it'll fit the non-NFC version of the phone, I emailed the eBay seller I bought the case from and received the following reply:

"Hard case is sensitive to thickness (0.4mm).

But Soft/Silicon case is not sensitive to thickness. (just 0.4 mm)"

To make sure I asked whether it will matter for the Ultra Silke case and was told that it the difference will not matter. If the case does not fit, a full refund will be issued.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] skanj:
I've ordered this one

[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
That is the fake one. The genuine version has a better font at the back where its written Galaxy S II.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rooster19:
Did you preorder with Optus?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Mitty1990:
I'm using the Case Mate Tough case which is pricey but it protects the phone really welly and has to layers a silicon on and then a hard shell :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] puiradu2009:
I'm using a a 3M Vikuiti screen protector and a custom case shield from originale.ro.

I'm the first with something like this till now and the site is not shipping outside Romania. Still I hope you like it.

really want this case, but I dunno if it will fit or not, especially as its a hard case :(

if anyone has it, could you confirm if its a good fit or not.

cheers :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Beards:
Why not simply contact the seller and ask direct.

I spoke with the seller myself (Ben Kim) on another of his cases. Ben was extremely helpful.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dk206:
And have u bothered reading the whole thread?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dk206:
Really nice!!!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ludow:
Hi,

It will fit. BTW, it's TPU case, not hard plastic.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nikzDHD:
My Nillkin cases came today, my room is so dusty!

They are slim and they feel very smooth in the hand, very slim indeed, hopefully it is slim enough to fit into the Sena case when that arrives.

First pic looks like the phone has scratches this is not the case its the reflection and just plain old dust!

The white case looks very nice in person but most likely will get very dirty!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cmd512:
Not a fan of the exposed top and bottom.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jadaress1:
Hi, can u tell me where you bought the white one from, loving it :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AvRS:
I like the look of the case-mate safe skin there's a seller on eBay doing it for £9.95 or best offer yet when offering the RRP which is on the official site as £7.99 they declined so left it for now. Will wait till its in stores so can look at it first as not seen anyone with one yet.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nikzDHD:
Got it from obostore free shipping and all took about less than 2 weeks to arrive.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
-

The Samsung official case cost £9.95 in Phones4u

-

The Nillkin one cost $9.99 (£6.09) with free shipping from Obostore - Delivery took almost 2 weeks. Not bad for air mail + free postage!

Material/Feel

Both cases feel exactly the same, they're matte and rubbery but not overly rubbery like some cases and no slippery rubbery either. They're just right. They're about the same thickness as well so keep the Galaxy S II's slimness when attached.

Protection

The Samsung one offers side protection from knocks and falls but no top or bottom protection, the corners are mostly protected but not completely so falling at an odd angle could cause corner damage to the handset, even though I don't know of anyone who has had that happen (yet) some people might find this a concern.

The Nillkin one protects the corners completely and because of this falling at a funny angle won't cause any corner damage unless it falls top or bottom first into the edge of an axe (quite unlikely I think you will agree :p).

The camera lens cover has an extra edge of protection on the Samsung case as it's recessed in AND has a lip where as on the Nillkin it's only recessed in a bit. you won't scratch the lens when laid flat on a surface on either case though.

The screen protection is slightly better on the Nillkin as the lip is slightly bigger than on the Samsung case so you have more of a gap between a surface and the screen when it is placed face down.

Design

The Samsung cuts around the holes of the phone, like the headphone/charger ports whereas the Nillkin does not, this isn't a big deal really but it's a difference so I guess it's worth mentioning anyway.

The Nillkin case fits tighter than the Samsung one. Someone on XDA said their Samsung case flew off when their handset fell once, quite unlucky because mine fell once too on laminate flooring and it didn't fly off but there you go, it happens. I don't think the Nillkin will be flying off given how it fits around the phone.

The Nillkin feels a bit slimmer than the Samsung even though they're the same thickness. I realised this was because the Samsung one curves less around the phone and has a slightly more rectangulatr shap around the edges of the phone whereas the Nillkin curves with the phone more giving the illusion of a slimmer case.

The Samsung case will collect dust between the holes and this dust will settle on the back of the phone, you will see nice polka dots when you detach the case on the battery cover and lower part of the back, it looks weird o.0 but it's easy enough to blow/wipe off.

The Nillkin comes with a screen protector which is rubbish and a little cloth.

I've decided to keep the Nillkin on due to the above plus points. It doesn't look as cool as the Samsung case but it offers better protection and feels a bit better in the hand too. Oh and it's a few quid cheaper.​
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Andy2.2:
wow, all I was asking for was a simple response.

Sorry I don't have the time to sit and read every thread on the forums.

ty Ludow, just ordered one now, didn't realise it wasn't a hard case, cheers :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jbpf77:
Also you can get the genuine mesh case from a uk seller on ebay so it'll come quicker.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sckc23:
Thanks for the detailed comparison=)

thinking of getting either Nillkin or case-mate. whats your thought of those two?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
I tried the case-mate barely there out in store and the protection of the corners and top/bottom is the same as the official Samsung vented case but the case-mate costs a lot more so out of those two I'd pick the Samsung one but add the Nillkin and it makes sense to choose that over the other 2.

It's cheaper

Same build quality as the Samsung

Better protection of corners and top/bottom

Ok, it doesn't look as cool as the Samsung one but it does look good still, minimal and everything.

Heck just get both, they still work out cheaper than one case-mate lol and you can use one as a main and if it breaks just use the other.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sckc23:
Cheers mate. will go for the nillkin one then=)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sorrowrain:
is it good?

i might buy one .

but is the screen protector good or not.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Skysezto:
the skin fits really nice on the phone, wonder when someone will put this on ebay
[Galaxy S II Accessories] iced_tea:
Yes I did.

The Nillkin cases look really nice. I prefer them over the Samsung Official case in terms of looks.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rooster19:
Same here haha.

Mine should be here June 2nd according to the Optus bloke on the phone.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Beards:
If anyone is worried a particular case or the gorilla glass is not strong enough to protect your phone...... No problem, get one of these....
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rooster19:
Gold.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] johnsonc:
robbiekhan, thanks for the review of the cases!

Do you think it will be possible to use the Nikitin's one for your car mount DIY solution? Will it be easy enough to put the phone into the case and then pull it out not making any loose to the mount itself?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jadaress1:
Hi, I've got the silver barely there case, looks really nice, I've had quite a few compliments about it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
It would be easier to mod the official case as a car mount via my DIY mod as it is easier to remove with one hand whereas the Nillkin requires 2 hands as it hugs the phone tighter!

I'm tempted to switch between the 2 cases regularly, I like the coolness of the official case and am not butterfingered enough to warrant constant extra protection lo.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nicpol7:
i wasnt happy with the barely there case protection,so i also bought the case mate gelly case...the quality is higher that the cheaper s shaped tpu case and the material is softer and more durable..

fits perfectly(as all case mate cases)..and i think for all of you that like tpu cases this is the best choice...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Little Dragon:
would you say this case attracts dust? and how much bulkier is it to the Nillkin?

thx

Ive bought the one on the right going to use it as a template to make a carbonfiber version just gota wait for it to be delivered from japan :mad:

Hi Mitty1990

I'm currently waiting for T-Mobile to get stock for my upgrade. Was told today another 7 days!

Anyway I'm really keen on the CaseMate Tough case. Can you post a picture of the Galaxy S II in the Touch Case?

Much appreciated.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] redbullman:
Tough Case not Touch Case - whoops!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rocketpaul:
At first it doesnt seem bulky but it does with time. I personally seem to get dust in the edges of the screen.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AvRS:
Same as Rocketpaul, the S case attracts a lot of dust around the edges where it wraps over onto the screen but can see any similar TPU/silicone case doing the same so keeping my eyes open on what comes out.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Lynrax:
its pretty nice :O
