Rearth Ringke

Finally got my ringke case in the mail today. Pleased with the construction overall, but would have liked the case to be slightly tighter on the phone. There is a very slight give on the fit which doesn't affect the phone moving around, but rather typically of a silicone case the sides don't grip the phone tightly.

There is a matte feel to the case which makes the grip feel tighter if your hands are slightly moist; good for sweaty palm grip. The speaker doesn't seem to be muffled at all from the case but I haven't tested it for echo as some people have complained from other silicone/tpu cases. The cutouts seem to be spot on except for the camera which is slightly off at the bottom by barely a millimetre (photo attached).

One good thing about the case is that it wraps over the dreaded screen ditch which dust loves to gather in. The bumps for the volume rocker and power buttons feel good. Quite happy to replace my semi broken official case with this one.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nicpol7:
perfect fit....phone slides in much better than barely there..

only problem is that as you can see top and bottom parts are not covered...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] :
Thanks for the review. Kind of what I thought: just another silicone case. I emailed them and got a bunch of technical BS so I stayed away. To pricey for me, IMHO. I'm glad it works for you though.

Any pics of Case Mate Barely There Metallic Silver?

Cool. I wanna purchase thts why wanna see before buying:)

How much does the case ruin the feel of the phone? I like very much that the phone is slim, but since I've already dropped it once (I cried a lot when I saw the damages) I really want to protect it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Pinky Floyd:
I'm using the case-mate tough case and it is very good quality. Gives me a little confidence that if I accidentally drop my phone it won't smash into a million pieces.

White Pleomax or White SGP Ultra Capsule or White Mercury Case? :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] samgals:
Just discovered the Casemate Safe Skin. Ticks all my boxes.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Lakitu:
Got an ultra silke and this case from ebay. No phone to test them out on until Sunday :mad:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tijmen:
Other way around here, phone will arrive today, but I ordered my Ultra Silke only today. And since it'll ship from Seoul, South-Korea it will take up to 4 weeks. That'll be rather scary, I guess...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AvRS:
This is the one I bought and its really nice just picks up every bit of dust and dirt as its rubbery so just be aware. I bought mine from mobileden who were appalling but only good thing was that they took too long to take my money so couldn't charge me by the time it shipped so got it free :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] zkyevolved:
Hey guys! I've tested out the Ringke Rearth cases. They're AWESOME. Check out my full review:

:) I hope you like the review. Here are some pictures just to keep you up on your feet ;) Also, this is my first review! So be gentle!

Thanks :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] maxnik1:
I am in the same situation with the only difference that I hope to get my SGSII on Friday. :)

Unfortunately, I don't have anything to shoot a picture of my silicone case. It's Cellular line and comes with some goodies(screen protector, cloth, some kind of dust removal film).

The package is this:

The case looks like this:

It definetly looks high quality. Of course, the price is a bit on the high side, it cost me 14$.

Received my White Zenus Softskin silicon case yesterday. Nice silky feel to it but grips nicely in your hand with the name 'Zenus' embossed on the back of the case. Extremely light weight and keeps the phones slim look.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] andro-boy:
Hi.. everybody...

I'm still "green" and new in the forum so please guide me!

I have just nought the Ultra Capsule Reventon Yellow but still don't

have the phone in my hand. I'm waiting it until this Saturday.

I'm also planning to buy the Rearth Ringke Case to compare.

Anyway confused which Ringke case to buy: Lime, Orange, or White?

Can you help me?

Once the phone comes in my hand i will review both of the cases..

I personally prefer slicon-like or rubber case or TPA to hard case..

don't know why though...

SGP Ultra Capsule Soul Black

I just received my SGP Ultra Capsule in black and it's great so thanks for this helpful thread. And AFAIK nobody posted some better pics of this case in black so here r a few (made with my N900, so not the best quality either). Hope they will be helpful for someone and let me know if you need some more.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] zkyevolved:
Check out my review :-)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] andro-boy:
Hi

Zky, yes i have read ur great review. Good job

man!

1)Anyway did u purchase the sgp ultra capsule?

2)Which one is more comfortable? I own ultra capsule

but intennding to buy the rearth one.

Chester,it seems u have enjoyed using ultra capsule.

This is my first time using ultra capsule and havent tried

to use it on phone since device has not come yet. How is it? Is it comfortable?

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Plonker:
I agree. I was using one of these, but I wasn't 100% happy with it. I think it was a combination of the 2-tone colour, the colour itself and it just didn't have that 'high-quality' feel I wanted. But then, what do you expect for £1.99? :) So I ordered the Case-Mate.

It arrived this morning and I'm very happy with it. It's got that quality feel and I'm so much happier with the protection it offers. It does add extra bulk, but the phone was so thin to start with that the end result is acceptable - to me.

The only down-side was the price - £24. It's a lot of money, but it's true what they say: buy cheap, buy twice; you get what you pay for; quality comes at a price, etc, etc.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] :
Got this one from Amazon yesterday. Generic TPU, total cost about 4 dollars. I do like the checkered back on it. I'm not wild about the shiny black color nor the stupid cutout for the antenna. Super SHINY interior! Typical fit and finish issues with these kinds of cases but for the cost it can't be beat, right now.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] joelk2:
Not seen these in the thread anywhere, please excuse me if ive missed it.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] ChesterZZ:
Guess I forgot about them ? Your pics show too much glitter though, quite unrealistic, they are not as visible in real life, so I guess that's why I didn't really like them and said nobody posted some "better" pics. Does it really matter ? Lets not argue about cases...

EDIT: BTW, since you have this case longer than me, will it stick to the phone more with time ? Cause on mine that 0,5mm difference between the korean and our model is quite visible, the edges of the case are quite a bit moving and it makes some noises while in hand...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Wajdos:
What is this Zenus Air Bumper made of? What do you guys think? It's solid? Because I think i don't get the idea, when we remove plate, we have just a hole inside a case?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cmd512:
Again, not sure what you're talking about. I just looked at the back of the glossy black case in a normally lit office environment, and even through all the oily smudges from my hand, I can see a field of glitter. The Soul Black case has a TON of glitter... unless you're looking at it only in very dim light, you WILL see the glitter.

I'm not arguing about cases, only pointing out the error in your statement that there were "no good pictures posted of this case previously." Clearly not true.

My SGP Capsule case never moves around, it's quite snug. I chose this case over the Zenus Monochrome case I also purchased at the same time (which I ended up selling to another local owner), the SGP Capsule offers better protection (thicker, covers both top and bottom, and front facing edge around screen is slightly higher which means I can lay it face down without risking the phone's edge/screen) and is more grippy but doesn't stick to your pant pocket linings.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ChesterZZ:
Strange, did the box of your case say Galaxy S II for SKT/KT too ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cmd512:
Yes, I believe so. I will need to double check once I get home, but it was definitely made in Korea.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ChesterZZ:
Well I don't know then, mine just doesn't hold that good on the edges... U can even push it in at the volume rocker and on top, above the samsung logo. It just isn't as snug as the cheap ebay case with the kick stand.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Y3arin:
After few times removing my sgp ultra capsule (3-4?) it feels a little shaky on the phone; or maybe it was there before the removings?

Maybe not such a big deal but it pretty annoying me. Does it happens in other cases too?

EDIT:

Thats exactly what I have.. the cheap case with kick stand actually more snug o/o
[Galaxy S II Accessories] slyydrr:
Sadly it's probably expected. The SGP cases are modeled off of the Korean version, and the Korean version of the phone has slightly different dimensions. Nearly 9mm thick vs 8.49 for example (not much difference, but it matters for case snugness).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ChesterZZ:
I put some paper in the case and now it feels a lot better lol :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Andy2.2:
Received my Zenus monochrome air jacket case <- not sure if that's correct :D

Anyway, as nice as it is, the bottom right of the phone refuses to fit snugly.

Pretty annoying, but the phone is protected at least.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] R3Y:
Has anyone tried this case - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270761858999&ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT

Its from Korea. Looks good..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
Yup, same experience. Like the case though. Don't try to flex the case to get the phone to fit snugly. The thin strip above the volume buttons will snap!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] iced_tea:
Someone asked me for photos of the Fantasia Pink SGP Ultra Silke case. I decided to post them here in case it helps anyone else. Sorry the poor quality. Only the last two photos capture the true colour of the case.

Adding a few comments to my case (in addition to the many reviews by other members on the same case):

1. Has a matte feeling. However the corners of the case do not have the matte feeling. Instead they have the typical silicone feel but it is not sticky. Dust does not stick to the case.

2. Fits the international SGS2 perfectly. There is no gap.

3. Colour is exactly as pictured in advertised pictures (eg. the one below)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] :
Not really loving my Amazon TPU. Anyone familiar with the Innocase? I'm looking for something like that. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Y3arin:
Gonna try this too :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] R3Y:
Just placed an order for SGP Ultra Capsule (with free Ultra Crystal screen protector). Let's see when it arrives..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] daniel_1983x:
got the same problem too

i fixed it by placing some double-side tape at the bottom right so that the case would stick to the phone... pathetic.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shaik786:
Hi, need your help in choosing best case

Finally I decided to go for one of these cases

http://www.exportprive.com/zenus-pr...-samsung-galaxy-i9100-real-black-p-16066.html

OR

http://www.exportprive.com/ultra-capsule-silicone-case-samsung-galaxy-i9100-soul-black-p-16085.html

Which one offers best protection?. Already I invested good amount on S II, so do not want to go for both..I had a mesh case and official samsung galaxy S II case ( included in Indian version). Xtreme screen guard (yet to arrive),exim screen protectors (yet to arrive), SGP Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic Anti-Fingerprints screen protector (yet to arrive). And I am yet to order memory card and USB OTG cable.

Please suggest good one.

Today I inserted 5800 data cable, how stupid I am..and..when phone in my jeans pocket while travelling , I have a feeling that it is going to break anytime...lol..but it will never..

Seems mobilefun have been monitoring this thread as they seem to have added the majority of what everyone's buying to their stock list, larger Zenus range, SGP and Rearth soon to be available as well as all the colours of the official mesh case. Don't like buying international so can now wait and get an SGP ultra capsule from them instead.

I received this today:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400210666780&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

The fit is pretty perfect, but doesn't have the same grippy feel my Hero case had, that could sit on most surfaces up to almost 45deg angle without slipping...

TBH, for the price, i'm more than happy with the level of protection its providing!

now i just need a screen protector... I received this yesterday:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110676862121&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

The fit is pretty bad, after getting it aligned from the bottom (where the tabs for fitting are) and keeping straight up the phone, the cut out for the FFC is 1-2mm out, obscuring the cameras shot!... rubbish!

In order for it to fit, the protector needs to be off centre at the top...

Dickie
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kin869:
Thanks for the feedback guys! I really like that case since it doesn't add too much bulk and their site states it's made of TPU material, but I don't like the little curvy design of the back of it.

From the picture, it looks like it adds quite a bit of bulk to the phone. Is that true? Also, is the material regular rubber or TPU? I prefer TPU because dust/hair doesn't stick to it. I have a regular rubber case for my Nook Color and all the dust that sticks to it drives me nuts!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AvRS:
I bought the same case from freebits uk on ebay and for £1.95 can't complain. Search for s-curve case and you should find it. I got it in purple which is nicer in the pics but not bad. Its a slippery plastic with not a great feel but will do till capdase release one which I'm hoping they do soon.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kin869:
Does the case attract dust/hair?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AvRS:
Hardly any on it after going in and out of my pocket all day its not a sticky material like some silicon gel cases.

Going for a FlexiShield from Mobile Fun myself, despatched today and should get it tomorrow. I have had one for my HD2 since I bought it 18 months ago and have to say it's the most sturdy cover I have ever used. Not bad for a tenner although I'm sure you can get it cheaper elsewhere.

So, my other case arrived. Still don't have the phone as Vodafone are ridiculously late on this one.

I purchased: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380332737615&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT and it arrived 7 days later.

It seems pretty good. First thing I noticed was that the holes are significantly smaller than on the blue case. I don't know if this is a problem since I don't have the phone yet, but if the blue case was a snug fit for connections then some trimming may be necessary. Hopefully not though.

The stand is pretty good although it only catches on the top -- it kind of pulls out at the bottom. Not a problem yet but maybe after a year of usage the top will go, then the stand will be useless/a new case will be necessary.

I'm happy with it for about £4.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] krabman:
Interesting on the hole cutting, one is for sure out of wack.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] emorej:
Hi does the finished quality of the black one with stand is good, especially on the sides?

Awesome case
[Galaxy S II Accessories] b33p_:
Build quality is very good imho. You can give it a good squeeze in your hand (with no phone in it) and it feels good, no creaking or anything. The sides are nice -- you can kind of see in the last two photos that I took that on the back, the black rubbery material is a matte finish but on the front (the part visible if you're looking at the phone's screen) is glossy to really tie in with the look of the phone.

At the minute I'm thinking of a modification (probably using blu-tak) for this case with my desk so that when it's not in use it can stand vertically.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kin869:
That looks like something I would get. Please let us know how it works for you!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Miracle1980:
I think that i'll go for this Soft-touch neoprene one:

looks VERY nice! But i have read that people had problems with it: wobbling and breakage od tittle plastic bar above volume controls
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sunseaker:
OT but what screen protector are you using here?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] xxlikquidxx:
too soon to tell. Had it for a week and no problem so far! I'll report back if the breakage does occur. They can do replacement here if the case does break within 6 months.

i got it at a local shop here in Korea. Its the anti-UV, anti-fingerprint, anti-smudge, anti-scratch, anti-thermonuclear :)

it feels nice and smooth, no smudge or annoying fingerprints whatsoever on the screen, no constant cleaning or wiping the screen. Screen is readable outdoor, although indoor, it does have the snowy, purple grain as the side effect of this screen protector.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nicpol7:
just reiceved my rearth ringke case from usa..

slimest silicone i have ever used!!!

cut outs are perfect..nice mate finish to the case..zero bulk...

but its so slim,i dont know if this can protect the phone from a drop..

its perfect if tou want only protection from scratches..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Oat23:
Does anyone known if there are more cases like this? Or what the design is called? A design that covers the front, and you flip it open to see the phone.

The above case does look very nice, but I do not need "wallet" built in, and I'm looking for something maybe a little slimmer.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] zkyevolved:
Yeah, it's not out yet. They told me in August or September.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] CandyAndy:
By the way if anyone is interested. i got my official Samsung case for it and for my disappointment it doesn't fit to the official Samsung dock with that :( No good, I rather ditch the back cover than my lovely dock
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sunseaker:
Yeah, I see this as a major oversight. The official docks (and car docks) should allow the phone to dock with at least the official cases on.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Vulpix:
Almost every phone in history has not allowed the phone with an official case to be used with their official dock. So why are any of you surprised?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] CandyAndy:
Surprises because without the back cover the phone is not as fit as for example...erm condom. So you would guess that it allows a little bit more bulkiness there.

And when you put the back cover on it doesn't seem to add much at all.

But still there is actually a huge difference and it is impossible to put it in place without doing some major McGyver stuff with the dock.
