I have the genuine official case and like it so much that I decided to order the "fake" white version of it. I ordered from eBay seller "karade21" & it arrived today. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it may be genuine, as it is "Anycall" branded: A Samsung brand in Asia. The black and white versions are almost identical. Only differences:

- Black is raised around the camera opening, white is flush. I prefer white.

- They have slightly different mesh/dot patterns on top and bottom.

Build quality and feel/grip are the same. Some pics:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Venomqld:
nice video, like the case looks sweet. :D

where you buy the case from?

cheers.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tids2k:
the best part is this comes with a headphone jack lock so you can put it in to prevent dust from entering into the headjack. also the buttons on the side are the most comfortable i have ever found on a case. they feel so light even better than an iphone's "_" .. just being sarcastic there :p

I just got some GORGEOUS cases:

I'll be reviewing this gorgeous babes soon! I got Mango, Kiwi and True Blue! :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Baines93:
For the perosn who asked, I will take pictures of the red S-LINE case for you ASAP :)

Still not heard back from the seller, after questioning why my red one has a top right hand corner, but my blue one doesn't... Want a blue one with a corner! haha.

Also not heard back from the ebay seller selling those "iphone look alike blah blah blah" cases. :(

[Galaxy S II Accessories] tids2k:
that case is not one ... but it has a silicon base with a metal shell around it which more or less looks like an iphone. just a thought if u want ur sammy to look like an iphone why waste money get an iphone :p
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Wajdos:
I am really interested in your review on this case ;) I am deciding which should I buy, and I really love the orange version from that company! So cmon, make a review please! :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] joelk2:

Samsung mesh case.......

Shortened version of events:

Rainy day = waterproofs = phone in waterproof top pocket of not often worn raincoat, + distraction of No1 Son = zip of aforementioned pocket left undone, + dismount from highish vehicle = phone falling from said pocket and hitting tarmac 7 feet below.

Protection of fitted Samsung black mesh case +/- lack of protection of Samsung black mesh case + luck(-/+) = phone which still works and is undamaged (other than quite a scuff to top right hand corner) + broken (having bounced and separating from the phone) Samsung black mesh case, lying on aforementioned tarmac.

= Samsung black mesh case in bin.

= New formula for decision making for purchase for cases;

1. If clumsy - buy case covering all of phone

2. If forgetful - buy case covering all of phone

3. If prone/easily distracted - buy case covering all of phone

4. If living/pretending to live an active lifestyle - buy case covering all of phone

5. If phone uninsured - buy case covering all of phone

6. If rich - backup regularly

anyone tried one of these? or has seen a review of it?

Thanks!

I received my Rearth Ringke case today. It's available in the US which is a plus. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with it. It's a silicone case but doesn't feel sticky like many cases do and doesn't seem to attract dust. The case doesn't add to much bulk and feels great in the hand though adds a bit of weight. The cutouts for the speakers, ports, and camera are spot on.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Wajdos:
@jeremy81 - what do you think about a level of protection? (like fall from a pocket), feels cheap? You recommend buying?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jeremy81:
It definitely doesn't feel cheap and there is an obvious attention to detail. For instance, the back even has a small indention to match the place where you pry to battery cover off. The seams are very good/clean looking compared to most silicone cases I've seen/used. It seems to be a combination of silicone and another material. The outside has a matte finish and has a more plasticky feel and the inside and sides are a slightly softer silicone feel. It seems to offer good protection and all the buttons are covered as well. The case is raised enough around the camera to offer it protection from scratches when laying on a flat surface. You could also lay it face down on a flat surface since it wraps around the edges. I would definitely recommend and may pick up some different colors myself.

Rearth Rinke Case

I was recently contacted from a representative at Rearth asking me if I would review their Rinke Case for the SGS2. I agreed (duh), and it arrived today.

This is a soft silicone style case. Packaging is nice, and shipping was quite prompt. I decided to go with a white case. This is my first time trying a full silicone case.

It's a very high quality case. Fits amazing well. All buttons line up and there is a notch in the corner for what I assume is the Korean model. There is a nice cut out for the mic, camera, speaker, and small notches on the front for the menu button, front facing camera, and rear piece.

Overall I think this is a nice case. I have realized that I am not a fan of silicone type cases. I keep my phone in my pocket and don't like the flimsy edges when I grab it. If you're a fan of these type cases I recommend it. If you like a hard style case I wouldn't recommend this unit.

Hey guys,

Samsung black vent case
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Roman5:
Need your help guys. I have both a 'Konect' phone jacket, and a leather case. Seems like leather, maybe it's not. I love the Konect jacket, it's made from quite firm material, and has excellent textured sides for good grip. It makes holding the phone a real joy, and it feels safe in my hands with the textured sides.

Konect case:

The leather case has a good 'snap in' fit with plastic side shells for good protection. However, I'm a bit worried that the fairly sharp edges of the shells might posssibly scratch the phone. Probably won't but I'm a bit paranoid. The main thing though is that I'm looking for a case where I can keep the silicon jacket on. This case won't let me, it won't fit unless I remove the jacket. Is there a case big enough that you know of to accomodate both the phone and jacket?

Leather case to protect screen:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] linqiang110:
I got one from NILLKIN ,it is cool. also got from sgp ,it si good but not tight.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AC07:
Here are the cases I have, I like the SGP Ultra Capsule most~~
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chizzwhizz:
Could you post a picture of what the bottom of phone where the micro usb port is located when the phone is inside the case?

I ask because my usb otg cable head is a little wider than the standard samsung micro usb cable head.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Y3arin:
What the **** is this glitter on the Ultra capsule? It's on the way for me and I have not seen such a thing in the pics!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AC07:
it do have glitter~~ :D dunno it has on other color or not~~
[Galaxy S II Accessories] iced_tea:
In other photos shared by members of the white Capsule case, you can see that there is no glittery finish on the case. However the black Capsule case does have a glittery finish to it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Y3arin:
Just looked again on DoPower's photos of the white one. you can see the glitter in the bottom right corner. Didn't see that before:

I'm so pissed now. Hope it's not too noticeable or I won't use it. They had to show those glitters in the photos.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] joelk2:
phew, glad i havent ordered that one yet. was about to the other night.

the case looks like its a good one though. god damn glitter.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] markvarley:
I have one of these but it doesn't have the extra corner cutout needed on the Korean(?) model.

ebay number 230629268351

and it's TPU, not silicone.

This is exactly what I'm looking for, or more specifically a horizontal type holster case.

I have found that a Toshiba TG01 (which has been around since 2009) is pretty much exactly (within 1mm) the dimensions of the SGS2 when in one of these cases. So any cases for the Toshiba TG01 will be good.

The case I am specifically trying to acquire is the Nite Ize Clip Case Sideways in Large part number CCSL-03-01. Can't find one anywhere outside of the US and none I have found inside the US will ship for less than $20+ (you can find the case for around $7!).

If anyone in the US can come up with a workaround I'm happy to buy one and ship to their address if they can ship on to me at normal USPS international rates (got to be around $10?). That'd be fecking awesome...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] DoPower:
The glitter is not noticeable unless receive direct light from sun or other very bright source.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sorrowrain:
if you do not know

ultra capsule is glittery

the one without glitter is called ultra silke

and ultra capsule is way too glittery

I've finally received my Case-Mate Safe Skin from Mobileden.co.uk and would highly recommend anyone not to use them as they're absolutely useless and a 1-4 working day delivery turned into 2 weeks with no communication.

Anyway the case is really nice, its really soft and flexible as shown in the pic below, fits perfect and perfect for me at £10. Would say if your bothered about dust on your case skip it as its not for you as attracts dust a lot but as I couldn't care less as I'm not that anal I really like it. Had to take pics on my phone so you can't have any on the phone sorry.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] CamoGeko:
Which case out of the three are you interested in?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Y3arin:
I wish you right :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Roman5:
I'd have been even happier not to have the korean aerial cutout on mine, but still, the rest of the phone is completely protected. To be honest, I'd considered pouches and belt cases, but if I could find another flip case like mine but without the plastic shell and with just enough room to take the TPU skin and phone together, then I could flip it open and use the phone instead of having to remove the phone out of a case or pouch each time. That would be ideal. There's surely got to be a flip case for my needs somewhere. I'll keep searching. Hope you get your Nite Ize Clip .
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hjf3Gd:
Noreve flip case review anyone?

I'm thinking of getting the Noreve Flip case, has anyone got one? I could really do with a review and some pics. I'm particularly interested in how protected the top of the phone is should I drop it (again). Also, how easy is it to remove the phone from the case and will it get scratched by repeated insertion/removal - I will be doing that every day to put the phone into the car holder.

Has anyone had one of these cases before for another phone?

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Accessories] :
As much as I like the look of the Rearth Ringke? It's really just another silicone case, correct? A 20 dollar bill is steep for something that's not even TPU.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] JaeCee:
Decided to keep the case I received in error from ebay since I'm too impatient to wait on snail shipping. I'll just grab the Case-Mate Tough Case when it's out locally.

Very snug fit, and I've quickly gotten used to fluidly taking it out pocket and flipping the lid open with one hand. It does add a fair bit of thickness to the phone, but being the thinnest phone out there, the case just makes it on par with your average smartphone.

Whoa DAMNNN,

the SGP Ultra Capsule white is SICK!!.

Glitter isn't noticeable unless using a LED light or very bright sunlight..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tro11:
so..

I'm still waiting for my rearth ringke case, but I've been using the Samsung original case for a few weeks now. I pull it out of my pocket today and attached pictures is what I saw. No idea how that possibly happened since any time my phone is in my pocket, it becomes the vip room. Nothing else gets in.

Pulled that piece of plastic off but I think I'll run a knife over to smooth out the break. Not very happy about this, but more puzzled than anything.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Beards:
I am both quite upset and annoyed you failed to acknowledge this case has already been reviewed.

I posted a link in this topic to my review of this case.

That review covers many aspects of the case complete with star ratings for each section and 23 photo's.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nikzDHD:
Why should you be upset mate? More than one user is able to review and post up pictures of products. The more reviews, views and opinions makes for better purchasing decisions.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Beards:
I know.. I know... I do agree.

What I was trying to put across was I had put quite a lot of effort into my review and it would have been nice to read from the reviewer a mention that there had already been a review written.

That way others had the chance to not feel it was the only review and could then obtain further material from my review.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] JaeCee:
I'm sure you put a lot of effort and it was quite well written, but as nikzDHD mentioned, no need to be upset about it. After all, many people do come here to get ideas for a case and such - people don't necessarily have the name of the particular case to search this 70-page long thread for your particular review. Not to mention not everybody needs an essay to help them decide a phone case. For some it's not exactly an earth shattering event - one to two line comments are enough to pique interest. And that's not a bad thing by any means.

End of the day, it's not a competition or anything - I had the product in hand, randomly felt like taking some photos and talking about it. No thunder stealing intended.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] :
I really want a case like the Casemate Gelli but without the cutouts and in flat matte black. I like the power and volume buttons covered. Suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rikc:
Just to add to the ongoing discussion: the SGP UC is an awesome csse. Have been using the black one for ~ a month now.

Completely flush with the phone, ruberish enough to make sure it doesn't slide off of any surface (but slides into your pocket effortlessly), spreads the heat from the phone.

In the beginning it was creaking a little bit and the volume / power buttons were a little more difficult to press. But that is gone now, it seems to fit even better than it allready did l. A bit like a pair of leather shoes that fit perfectly after some time :-D The only problem I have is that it is sensitive to dust (a polyurethane thing) and I have to wipe the edges of the screen sometimes.

And as for the glitter... well don't get one of the best cases out there then :-P I like the look of it actually, it's quite subtle irl.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Y3arin:
Got my SGP UC! Glitter isn't so bad!

I just got my SGP Ultra Capsule today ( but still don't have the phone :D)

And it looks pretty nice.

As for the glitter (Which I didn't know about while I was buying the case) - it's really unnoticeable! I was able to see it only in direct sun and it's not too bad as i thought :S. If theres anyone wondering if to get it because of the glitter - GO FOR IT. The seller also gave me two korean screen protectors from company called "M.ZEN", which seems to be **** lol.

I will post photos soon, but w/o the phone since I have not got it yet :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Beards:
You are missing my point.... It has nothing to do with personal glory, competitions or stealing thunder... I don't give a monkeys who writes further reviews, on the contrary more the merrier.

No, it's about letting the members know there is more than one review of this case available.

As an example in my line of work we absolutely rely on other medical personnel writing clinical papers on the same subject but we always point out to the reader other similar papers available.

Again I was upset not because you had done a review but because you did not mention for the sake of other members a link to my review ~ thus informing the members there were two reviews.

Had it been the other way round and I had written the second review I would have written at the end something along the lines of ~ "Please see topic here (with a link) for a further review", thus linking readers to your review.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] launcelot:
Hi Beards,

thanks for the review of the case too. I agree that it would be nice to have a link at the end of the review to inform other forum users abt another review... But it is also up to the individual forum user to use the search feature if he/she is looking for existing reviews of anything.

For myself (newbie), I am grateful for any reviews that anyone bother to take the time to post in the forum. It's all for the benefit of the forum and hope that more ppl do the same thing to continue to make xdadevelopers forum the definitive site for smartphones :)

Regards,

Lance

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Baines93:
Use an adapter? Since it seems to be an okay cable, a good one would be preferable I image. Try looking for iphone headphone adapters... the original iPhone had a simillar problem even uncased.

Also, could you post some pics of that case please? The amazon pics are crap, but I looked at getting it a few weeks ago...

I recommend it or go for the Casemate Barely There chrome one, its dark chrome so make the Galaxy S2 look like stealth.

777th post, woohooo jackpot :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] E-riko:
true :-)

Best case imo, from Zenus.

Why? it looks stylish, its black :), its leather, on the inside is made out of a durable material (I think plastic) so its hard, and it has a different material on the inside wich keeps the phone in place.

And it has a stand with a magnet.

I got this one and its perfect! :cool:
