Just got the 2 cases i ordered from an Ebay store called "netfe". White and Black Nillkin "hard case".

Very impressed with seller, ordered 30th May and recieved 8th June.

Case itself was exactly what i was looking for, coverage for the back and corners without covering the mUSB and 3.5 jack. They are nice and thin, barely adding any size to the phone and clip on firmly without moving around. I also really like the edges next to the screen, they are very small and dont interfere with the sides of the screen. Holes for power, volume, camera and mic are all cut perfectly, though the speaker one is a little off center.

Included screen protectors arn't half bad, they are cut fairly well and feel good to me. Certainly better then the screen for fingerprints aswell.

Would definitely recommend to those who don't want the full wrap-around style cases, this is much more minimal and still provides good protection in the most critical spots :)

Thanks to all those who put forward opinions / reviews, helped heaps when i was choosing :D

sorry guys,

Has anyone tried the indigo cases?

thanks

Is there any interest in me importing the Nillkin hard back case to the UK?

I'm thinking about buying about 30 units, 20 black, 10 white, and selling for £10 including postage on ebay... instead of waiting to recieve from Obo, or the chinese ebay store. Would there be any interest?

Also, my android stickers arrived! Looks so good, thanks for the original idea robbie!

I assume orange is your favourite colour like me? :D I was looking at all those 3 along with the samsung orange pleomax case as well. I ended up ordering the orange Rearth Rinke case a while ago because they claim that the fit for the case is perfect for both international and korean versions. I'll post pictures when the case arrives.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Mitashi:
I do own a Zenus case, but the SGP capsule is just great. Ordered the white one.

Looks soo nice, and there is a screen protector included so that's nice :).

I'm going to use my phone on the beach so i think i'll need a protector.

Oh @ spanish guy with same SGP case(can't remember his name), thanks for photo's man! Convinced me :)

I got the SGP Ultra Silke Silicone Case [Soul Black] and I really like it!

It fits perfekt and really feels as it says like Silke. :D

Bevore I used the S-Curve Gel Case Cover but pressing the power button was a fitness training for my thumb ;)

Nillkin Ultra Slim Hard Shield Faceplate

Today i received the case and again i want so share some thoughts about it.

(let me say it right here: this is the best case ive seen so far and i can recommend it to everyone that is searching for a very slim case with considerable protection)

ORDER

i ordered the case from obostore. it took 7 days for shipping...quite good for free international shipping. they also give discount if you order several pieces.

MATERIAL

i expected some regular plastic case but actually it is something i would describe as rubberized plastic.

makes the phone definitively way less slippery.

as far as i can tell it doesn't attract dust.

FIT

it fits perfectly and the cutouts on the side are made well. the phone fits very tight and doesn't move in the case (like in the zenus skin air jacket i reviewed some pages ago)

PROTECTION

if you are searching for an everyday-protection against scratches and some little drops this case should be your choice.

as you can see on the pictures the top and bottom of the phone are not covered by the plastic.

but that doesn't bother me because (unlike the samsung mesh-case) it fully covers the corners of the phone.

so if it drops on flat ground it will be fully protected. (not from great hight of course)

quite hard to explain but i tried to show it to you in the pictures below.

i tilted the phone to 45° and then take a shot that is showing that there is still some space between phone and surface (light coming through).

the camera is also covered very good so no scratches should get on it.

SCREEN PROTECTOR

the case came with a free screen protector from nillkin. i don't have any reference but i think its pretty good.

(although i messed it up by having a little airbubble in the down right corner. my fault.... :) )

CONCLUSION

this is by far the best case i have seen or used so far.

sure there are some cases with better protection but in my opinion they often add too much bulk and mess with the great look an slimness of the phone.

so i can fully recommend this case to you!

(if you liked this review please show by hitting the thanks-button)

(and sorry again for the bad picture-quality :rolleyes: )

Hey, what do you all think about Casemate Tough Case?

Also, would it be possible to fit such a case inside a leather pouch / case for additional protection, particularly for the screen?

If so, please recommend me one. Thank you all in advance.

- Cheers! =)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nikzDHD:
Enjoy :D

My little mini review:

Case looks and feels great in the hand, feels very slim. Good quality leather and love the leather smell! Stitching all correct and present.

BUT... it's tight, a nice tight fit which will eventually wear down so phone glides in and out smoothly. To get the phone out you have to push it from below, I've noticed that sometimes the buttons when sliding in do press against the internal, again due to tightness which hopefully will wear away soon.

I like it, took 18 days to come from USA as I didn't ship it straight from Sena (heard I might get FedEx charging me VAT and such) so I ordered it to a mail forwarding company and got it sent out with the cheapest air mail option.

This will only fit the phone, tried putting my phone in with the Nillkikn case but refused to go due to the extra mm's it adds.

Overall a nice case, will be good for me when I know I'll be on my feet all day in my pocket and will provide decent body protection, phone fits both ways perfectly whether it be headphone jack up or charger side up.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Hige:
Senna leather pouchs are really good looking!

Don't worry about thickness.. the leather will expand with the use! ;)

great review btw..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Hunteres:
i mentioned it before...i have ordered a leather case..for work - i mean office work...i will update the pics once it will arrive...

and SGP is well known quality brand... :)I am happy u like it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mrvtec69:
can you post some pics of it fitted :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] don nico:
Sure :p

I also made some.

My Zenus Carbon Air Jacket just broke!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mobile-freak:
A picture would be nice
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
It broke at the thin connecting section encircling the volume button. Thinking of the SGP silke or capsule now.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jimyen:
Mine broke as well....:mad:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rooster19:
That's exactly how my official samsung case broke, except on the power side.

BULL****!!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] krabman:
I havent had much luck with those style cases. I have dropped my phone in a tough case on linoleum now and both the case and phone were unharmed. Might not be the prettiest thing but it seems to work. I'm likely going to try a innocase when they come out. I really liked that one on my N1 and it survived several drops over the time, one onto pavement.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tameracingdriver:
The S-Line black thing I got off ebay for £2 is as good as any case I've ever used. I had an SGP case on the iphone and it broke in the same way as the one pictured above (Zenus). I have had other expensive cases, most of them are crap TBH. This £2 one looks pretty decent, not flash but its very rugged and it fits well, feels nice enough in the hand, and gives the impression of offering good protection for the phone. It does increase the thickness slightly, but then it's still just like any "thin" smart phone! :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] superutp:
seriously...the S-Line case which is dirt cheap is brilliant!!..takes rough use in its stride...plus most things(volume, power) are covered...so no chances of the damage mentioned above..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nicpol7:
same here!!bought 4 cases( case mate barely there and gelly included)..and now i use only the s black case!!!!...for protection is as good as it gets...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] :
Anyone off eBay sell them?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
Every man and his dog on ebay are selling them. It is the tpu case with an S pattern on the back.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rooster19:
Looks like I'll have to get one

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380332738320#ht_2201wt_1139

this seller has a pair of good quality protectors together with the case
[Galaxy S II Accessories] JaeCee:
For anyone wanting to buy a Zenus case from eBay, I just need to do a little rant on a certain seller. I ordered a black version of this:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250825771333#ht_6750wt_1139

The seller was pretty fast to send it off, but what I got today in the mail was this:

http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/2701/dsc0223pf.jpg

Which is listed on their store as:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Zenus-Sa...ather-Case-Cover-/260790146568#ht_6125wt_1139

It's a pricier case, but I really don't want a flip case. And it's brown. Unlike. Even worse is that the customs declaration specifically has 'Zenus Phone Case AirJacket Carbon Black' written on it.

It could just be an honest mistake, but since it takes over 2 weeks to ship something from Korea to where I am, it's pretty damn annoying and I'm willing to send what they gave me back if they can express mail me the actual item I ordered.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
Contact the seller and see what is the next step that they will take. Last time i ordered a tool kit (from a different seller of course), and got a laptop sleeve! They let me keep the sleeve and sent out the tool kit.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Baines93:
I had the same problem with alot of iphone 3gs cases, but at the bottom... the bar that protects below the button, above the sync cable/dock hole.

I ALWAYS buy expensive cases for expensive gadgets, since it's normally worth it... but trust me, the S-Line case is BRILLIANT. Massive well done to whoever designed it and got it produced as cheap as the rest of the crap cases on ebay.

Since interest has sparked up again, i'll repost my short review. (I've taken the pictures out, and added one at the end from a couple of pages ago where I showed it (AGAIN!) but with the android sticker :p)

Check out robbie's review too, linked in my review below. It's a GREAT case... not just for the money. I'd be happy if I paid £15 for it... It's just a massive bonus that it's £2.90! :D

Really refreshing to find a good cheap case! :eek:

Also, if they let you have that brown Zenus case JaeCee, and send you the one you ordered, i'll buy it off you! :) Offset some of the cost of the Jacket... I really want to try out a leather case, and that one looks really nice, but I can't afford to buy it at their prices just to try it and see if I like flip case :p :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] JaeCee:
Yeah I've contacted them with a relatively nice message about their mistake. I'm more bummed that I've been pretty excited knowing it would arrive sometime this week. Even if they did send out the proper one, it would still take over two weeks to arrive.

Sure. I actually had a zenus flip case on my original SGS, but it just wasn't my thing. I ended up not using the case much. I actually wouldn't've minded getting this case accidentally if they had sent me a black one. Brown's just not for me ! :o

I actually offered to send back the item untouched if they could send me the proper case via express mail .. I'll let you know how that goes.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Baines93:
Well let me know :)

So long as shipping from NZ won't be killer...

I love brown cases! I wanted to try that one, but I just don't know if i'll get on with a flip case. If not, I'll just give it away on here :)

Let me know :)

ps. just ordered red and blue s-line cases too hehe. Not so sure about the red... will give it away on here if i'm not keen :D

I have now added my review of the Zenus E'stime in Chocolate Brown Case for Galaxy S2.

Please go straight to this topic for a full explanation, photo's and comments.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AvRS:
I just want to warn people of a company called Mobileden.co.uk, I ordered a Case-mate Safe Skin from them for £9.99 on the 3rd which at the time showed as in stock and received the automated order response giving a delivery of 1-4 working days delivery and have not heard from them to say the stock is on back-order or there are any problems it just still shows as pending on the website. I emailed them using the contact us email on their site on Tuesday and never had a response so I called them yesterday and all their IVR options respond with your call is in a queue and after about a minute and 2 further repeats of that message it says they can't take your call. I then emailed their support team saying I've reported them to my bank as possible fraud and wish to cancel the order to which they said it will be shipped today as that's when the case is due in stock. Guess what still no update on the site or by email so I've again emailed them and hope for them to release the reserved funds and I'll get it off eBay as at least the businesses on there are pretty good at keeping you up to date.

So avoid this company at all costs they're useless!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tanmay®:
Here's mine. The Red Mesh case I got from Ebay. Although it doesn't have that Italic S logo, the build quality is the same. And it looks pretty hot :P

Some pics:

Also the case comes with 2 free Screen protectors. Perfect fit and pretty good quality too.

Krusell

The Krusell case finally turned up today from Mobile Fun and it's a massive disappointment. So much so that I'm sending it back.

It bulks out the phone to a new level of fatness. I've noticed in recent years this seems to be a bit of a trend with Krusell. Enough is enough with such a thin phone as the S2. I really don't get why they need to bulk up their cases so much these days.

I never even bothered with the one for the HD2 because the design was so bad that most of the buttons didn't line up, according to the reviews on Amazon anyway.

Oh, and a few of my supposedly compatible Multiadapt connectors, such as the belt clip, didn't fit with this case either.

Avoid. Up your game Krusell!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] samjpullen:
I am loving the Case-Mate Tough case :), its very impressive.

Will be posting a full review on my Youtube soon :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] krabman:
I'm pretty happy with mine too Sam.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
Aren't the Krusell cases a leather folio style case? If the one you got is a folio type, then it will always bulk the phone up to a silly degree. The only slim case is one that does not protect against drops!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rixsta:
Cant go wrong mate, my capsule case came this morning, such a nice case, lovely finish to it and strong as hell ......and comes with a SGP screen protector ..

From korea....took exactly a week to arrive ...

If anyone wants any real life pics then just ask and Ill post some :)

I love this case !!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nicpol7:
i think this is the corean version of the official case(made by any call)..its exactly the same with te eu one exept from the logo..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bboran:
I am waiting for your review Sam. Thank you . I like your videos a lot!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] markvarley:
My favourite phone case, the Naztech Sahara, fits my SGS2 perfectly.

I've not tried it with a back-shell on yet as I don't have it yet, looks like it should fit with one.

Edit: It might not look like it from the shape of the case in the photo there but it is a good close fit.

I like this case because I think it looks great, has a good magnetic closure, a solid low-profile belt clip on the back (which you can rotate if you wish). I've been using them since my G1 and I'm on my second one now.

Received my S-line case today, wont fit into the naztech sahara with it on... well it will fit but if someone calls you they'be be in voicemail before you get the phone out!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Mitashi:
Can you post some pictures? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] acb77:
Am also loving the Casemate Tough case. Have 3 cases to date - a Zenus / another nice leather wallet style http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320695612135&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT - see my posts for a mini review, and a French leather pouch which I cant remember the name of.

The Casemate is "Winning" (Sheen reference), at the moment though. Feels tough as and holds very nice in hand. Initially I couldnt work out why the latex was on the bottom and top but if you hold your phone for any period of time like I do - index on top and pinkie on bottom, this is obviously an ergonomic design decision and one which makes the phone comfortable to hold yet housed in a badass skin. 10/10

or even this, in a brighter brown/color

i noticed you from Australia, where abouts you buy your case mate tough case from??

cheers.

It is a pity all these cases from Korea have an opening for the local version's TV antenna :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] krabman:
For me I think that corner would rotate down in a cat like move when I dropped the phone, I have that kinda luck. lol
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rixsta:
Sorry Ive been busy........I'll post some this afternoon mate...

Yes in a way it is but dont let that put you off ......They are real nice cases for the SGS 2 .......Im really happy with mine .....(pics later)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tids2k:
this case fits perfectly on the samsung galaxy s2 uk version. i have one and i am using it right now. if any one wants pictures, let me know. cheers.

this is hard plastic case and anyone who has seen this case on my phone ( in Australia ) currently asked me if it was available for Iphone. HEHEHE .. Sammy rock on :p
[Galaxy S II Accessories] launcelot:
Hi tids2k,

can you describe more on the material? I saw it on ebay and its described as soft TPU...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Baines93:
Just recieved my red and blue S-Line cases from ebay. Since I liked the black one so much, and at only £2.90, I decided to get more colours.

The red one is good, but not a huge fan.

Was really looking forward to using a blue case for a bit, but out of the three S-LINE cases I have, this one has a cutout in the right hand corner... I wouldn't have bought it if i'd known, since knowing my luck, i'd drop it on that corner haha. I also find the corner piece doesn't even sit on the corner of the phone, it sort of sits in front of the corner, on the screen side of the phone... Doesn't look like it fits well. Of course, cause it's only TPU, and the material from the corner keeps it rigid and makes it fit nicely around the curved corner of the phone.

Annoying. Hopefully with a little rant on ebay they'll find one with a corner tucked away and send that to me instead... since the red one I got from them doesn't have the corner cut out?! :S

If they do send me another, or I find a blue one without the corner cut out, someone on here can have this blue one... would do someone i'm sure, but i'm picky! haha :)

Matt
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kag8:
could you post a pic of the phone in the red one? cause more often then not colours on generic photos look much better than the real product...thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tids2k:
Launcelot the yellow part is not tpu but what appears to me plastic. But if you will look at the black portion i.e the front part of the cover its tpu rubber. Well there is a reason for it to be there. It is there so that the phone can go on and come out easily from the cover. Im glad i made the right decision buying this case. My next case will be an extended battery +stand from momax they are going to release it soon and the best part is it will come with a kickstand ....Hurrah. Btw check out the momax ext battery+kickstand for samsung galaxy s by momax.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nkobayashi:
Hi tids2k can you post some pictures of your SGII with the TPU case on? This is my ideal case but am wondering what it looks like from real life photos. Here's some photos of it on ebay which shows the case on the phone from an angle (item #: 260782344577), which makes the phone look a little bulky IMO. Also wondering how good the volume rocker works with the case.

Now, if this case had a built in kickstand it would be perfect.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] markvarley:
Just gone and had a look at that, definitely going to have one of those if it's a similar price for the S2 (S is 328HKD = ~£26).

Do you know when it's due?

Do you know anything about their reputation with battery quality? the one for the GalaxyS is 2700mAh, assuming similar for S2 version but is the value accurate? I've bought alot of batteries in the past that are definitely not what they say they are!

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Baines93:
If that's aluminium, i'll grab one just to try... looks cool. bulky, but only as bulky as the case mate tough I reckon.

Hopefully it's a well designed two piece case, and that band is not just silver plastic. Doubt it though.

I've asked some questions, and for some real pictures, on behalf of us in this thread. I will report back :)

Strange how the currency is AUD, but the item is in HK... drop shipper not explaining he is doing so? I hate that.

Matt
[Galaxy S II Accessories] markvarley:
Item Location is South Korea, Price in AUD as thats the target market of this listing. Fairly common practice.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Baines93:
http://list.gmarket.co.id/gmkt.inc/Goods/Goods.aspx?goodscode=403593373

Same case on the ebay page you linked to. No more info.

http://list.gmarket.com.my/gmkt.inc/Goods/Goods.aspx?goodscode=403611775

Has a product picture of those coloured battery covers... but has pictures of a similar case to the case you linked to in the description, with more details. If it's the same case design, it's a two piece... probably plastic frame though, since they call it a "hard frame unit" - if it was aluminium surely they'd boast it? Gold frames though... kinda cool too.
