As above, yep it attracts dust!

Cheers!

I;ve gone back to the official Samsung case now as I just missed the cool looks of it, I'm risking slightly worse protection on the corners compared to the Nillkin but it will always be my backup :p

Both cases do the job perfectly though.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Razer(x):
Hi guys, i'm searching for a case which can cover the whole phone but with thinness.

Like this but with the power button covered

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Samsung-Galax...ccessories&hash=item2310d6cf24#ht_10579wt_979

Any suggestion?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Enyan:
I think from the pictures the power and volume buttons are covered, the only things that are not covered are the micro-usb, headphone jack, korean antenna corner (unfortunately...), camera, speaker, microphones and display :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Razer(x):
I tought that was the power button, shame on me! :D (i don't have the phone at the moment)

BTW whatever, that's uncovered so it's not ok
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mattism78:
Just a heads-up for those of you in the USA that are interested in the case-mate product line. You can order directly from their site in the US and save a fair amount instead of getting through the UK site. I paid $29 plus shipping for mine. It's in stock and on the way. I'll post pictures when I get it. For what I paid for this phone, I can't afford to break it.

couldn't have said it better myself! thx, for the heads up

For those of you that have the SGP Ultra Silke; does the case stick to your pocket lining when pulling it out of your jeans/pants? It's between this and the Ultra Capsule, either way I love SGP for their perfect cutouts :D

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Hunteres:
not for me. high quality garanteed by SGP... :) and i had few cheap ones..and i hate when u cant take it out..:) and i found it also dustfree... (almost) i have the ultra capsule.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] brandenk0:
I've had my Ultra Silke case for almost a week now and so far, I haven't seen any lint stick to it. It picks up some dust, not to much, but enough to be noticeable. Overall though, I've really liked the case.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] victaaaa:
Does everyone with the SGP case have the top corner not covered?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Hunteres:
lets make it this way... korean model has antenna...the case is from korea :o or at least the mine from exportprive..:)

so your question is easy to answer. yes the case has a "open" corner. but it doesnt really mather. the quality is superior to any case from amazon or similar pages...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cmd512:
Agreed, my SGP Ultra Capsule is friggin' awesome. :) And, the tops and bottoms aren't exposed like many of the other cases.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] victaaaa:
Okay thanks, I've ordered it.

Hopefully it comes before I get my Galaxy S II. :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Razer(x):
Any case similar to SGP but with covered corners?

EDIT: I've ended up buying Case-Mate Safe Skin
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rikc:
Just got my ultra capsule and couldnt agree more. If you wouldnt know there was a case around the phone you'd assume it wss the phone itself. BTW had a cheap silicone case as a standin, though the ultra is stil has enough 'rubber' feeling to prevent the phone from sliding off surfaces it slipps into my pocket perfectly.

Happy camper here :-), only the included screenprotector is much more fingerprint sensitive than the actual screen which is very strong anyway so IA got rid of it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
Just got the casemate barely there case in silver today. Need to get silver screen protectors as well. But my phone is arriving only next week.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] silverwolf0:
Was wondering if putting an ultra capsule case would make the phone heat up more or cause any problems? Will there by any problems with flash reflections introducing the color of the case into photos?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] silverwolf0:
I second this question. They are both soft stretchy cases right? Is the hole in the corner for the lanyard than? And are the covered buttons a problem to push?

I prefer the capsule since it looks sleeker and doesn't hulge out around the camera and edges of the screen like the silke. I want the black one, but I don't see it listed as a color on eBay besides showing up in the pictures, and I don't like the specks.

My biggest concern is the feel. The silke looks like silicone, which I find itchy and harsh, but I'm not sure if all silicone is created equal since this one looks smoother than others.

Is the capsule cool to the touch? Does it feel like vinyl? And foremost, does it get really greasy like the original Galaxy S back? I'm also thinking you could easily clean this case just by wiping it whereas the silke would be more permanently stained?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dk206:
Wait so you didn't like the ultra crystal screen protector? I think its the best sp that replicates the feel and touch of the glass.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sufibravo:
Thanks for the helpful info Hunteres and brandenk0 ! I might just get both lol.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Ayers976:
From the pictures and description, I would guess the Silke has less of a rubbery feel. Especially with the matte look. Would love to hear from someone who has compared both (maybe on other phones).

Also any heating issues with the Ultra Capsule or Silke?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] destromas:
Has anyone ordered the Boxwave Tech Mesh cases from Amazon (USA)? I thought these look good, especially the clear one. They also look thin, solid, and not of cheap make either. I'll update if I regret my purchase. I attached an image because I'm new here.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] brandenk0:
I haven't had any problems with heating on my Ultra Silke case so far.

To the person wondering about the Ultra Silke material. It is smooth to the touch and to me, it doesn't itch or is harsh. As for the covered buttons, I actually prefer it over having it uncovered. It makes it so that you have to push it slightly more to activate it but, it helps to prevent accidental button pushing. And yes the hole in the top left corner is for the lanyard.

If anyone else has any questions about the SGP Ultra Silke case I'd be happy to answer them.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] iced_tea:
The hole on the top right hand corner is for the Korean model of the SGS2. It has something to do with the TV antennae the Korean model has.

Here is the black SGP Capsule case on eBay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Samsung-...394456?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2310b8afd8

You can also ask the seller for other colours because he does have them in stock.

As for the Silke case, I ordered one from the same eBay seller. I'll post a short review once I've received it. It is due to arrive within the next few days. I'm hoping it'll arrive tomorrow since my phone arrives on Wednesday. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Little Dragon:
since its made of TPU, do you guys find it attracts any dust?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rikc:
To the questions earlier about the capsule....

- Yes it does feel like vinyl

- It does get a little greasy at the back

- Heat is no problem, actually feels less hot an more spread out. Even compared to the cheap silicone case standin.

- Yes it attracts dust, especially near the screen corners. If I have to be annoyed by something this would be it

- Its actually not completely black but dark blue (and indeed with speckles). You see this only in broad daylight. I like it

- Buttons react well but they are a bit harder to press

- Yes, its a goodprotector but I guess I dont like protectors. Anyway it was included so I tried it. Not intending to sell the phone in half a year or so. Actually want to see if I can get 2+ years with this one. Having owned a samsung before and knowing the body and especially the battery cover would be the weak point a case did seem needed on such a sleek phone as the sgs2

Furthermore

- Speaker actually sounds a bit bit better :-p

- Did i mention it was really tight around the phone. Material seems to 'mould' itself to the phone. With a little creaking sound when you squeeze whe you first put it on. Gets less and less when its on longer. I like it (lol)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] victaaaa:
Are the side buttons covered by the Ultra Capsule?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
The Casemate Barely There case has more protection that I expeted and the build quality is just amazing.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Enyan:
Could those that have the sgp silke and those that have the case-mate safe skin make some pictures and comments, especially of the upstanding border around the screen. Also, are they comparable in material and overall quality?

Then between the nillkin and barely there, they look almost the same, is there a difference in quality? Do they protect the screen when you put the phone face down on a surface?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
Also, anyone getting the Nillkin case keep an eye on your case's screen edge on one side, I just noticed something on mine:

The top left lip slopes down getting that corner front close to the edge. Some kind of manufacture defect by the looks of it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] yenkoh:
guys who already got this one? i want this one, unfortunately when i click buy now nothing happens.

im not yet allowed to post outside link but please search in official zagg website. it has already Full Body Maximum Coverage for $24.99.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Enyan:
Could you not bend the case in shape a little or is there a real slope in the lip?

Btw. thanks for all your great pictures!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
Bending it won't help as it's the lip itself that's sloped (manufacturing defect) - It might just be my one though or maybe it was a bad batch I don't know but I never noticed it before until today when I was giving it a long look lol!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ranwej:
I received this case today... it's not very good, because from inside there isn't soft material like i expected, but some kind of rough/hard skin or carton...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dk206:
Yes it would be really beneficial for this community if everyone could put up their picture of cases they received!!!!!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Vin87:
Attached are some pictures of my SGP Ultra Silke Soul Black case:

I don't use it daily, only when I'm on holidays and such. It's a nice case, fits perfectly and very thing. It is a bit to flexible though, it would have been better if the plastic was a bit more rigid making it feel like it's part of the phone. It came with a very nice Crystal Clear screen protector too, which fits like a glove and isn't visible at all.

For daily use I use this pouch, which again fits very nicely, only one downside, it says Sony Ericsson and was actually ment for the Arc:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Ibb1982:
Hey that does look good, did you end up getting the Boxwave Tech Mesh?

If so, what is it like?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bhagiratha:
Does it leave the bottom of the phone exposed like this?

I was planning on getting this casemate body, but I thought it covers the phone all around. No good! if the phone falls straight down ... that bottom edge will get damage.

thanks for the pics
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MaBlo:
Got my SGP Ultra Capsule white today. It's great, and the white looks awesome. I'll put up some pics later if someone haven't posted already.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] admoo:
Yes please, that would be awesome :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] DoPower:
I'm still pending of receive mine. But sure that looks impresive.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Ayers976:
Pleomax

Has anyone tried the Samsung Pleomax Soft Cover cases?

Is the back similar to TPU Ultra Capsule? Coated silicon like the Silke? Neoprene edges?

Thanks! Leaning to grabbing a SGP Silke case soon, but was wondering if there was something better for my taste (soft silicon that doesn't stick in the jeans).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MaBlo:
Please excuse the bad pictures, my camera sucks:)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
The Pleomax cases are currently available just for the Korean version. Not sure if theyre going to release it internationally but I hope they do.

BTW just spotted that they include ear plugs in the package. Whats the use of that?

Where did you guys get the SGP cases from?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] DoPower:
Absolutely beautiful!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MaBlo:
I ordered it from exportprive.com, put the order before I went to bed and it was sent when I got up in the morning. Shipping took 5 days to Norway.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nikzDHD:
If your talking about those little black plugs then they arr protectors for the headset port pretty handy I guess to keep the output clean.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
Thought so but the why would they say ear plugs ? :P
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nikzDHD:
Ear phones lol guessing they are basing it on that term maybe that's the best translation they could have for it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] destromas:
I ordered it on Saturday with regular shipping (3-5 days) so I'll find out at the very latest next week. Today here is a holiday in the US, so it's not a business day. I'll try to get some more posts under my belt so I can put up pictures when I do get it. The BoxWave site appears to ship these internationally, so rest assured, if it's a quality case, I'll let everyone here know!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Enyan:
I just ordered one from obostore, I'll let you know if it is any different.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] admoo:
Thanks :D that looks amazing, I can't wait for mine to arrive! Is it does it have the shiny metalic bits in too?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Ibb1982:
Thats is SICK!!! Meaning AWESOME!!! I love this, going to look into a SGP Ultra capsule :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mattism78:
Case looks awesome. If my case-mate doesn't work out I will surely be getting this case.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] vcys86:
btw guys, do you all come across any good phone case that is book type (open from right to left)?

Second question, for flip case owner, when you turn the phone to horizontally(text,games) isn't the cover will become kind of inconvenience?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] acb77:
Am really (really) liking this one. Feels very nice in hand, you can chuck your cards and some cash in it for out and about, and you can put your phone in and out very easy. Look good too.

p/s: unable to post link due to low post

anyone has opinion on those book type phone case?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rzezucha:
That looks like something I'd really like. I've got only one question though. Is the phone fastened securely in this, cause it looks like it could slide right out of it on the ground if i don't hold it firmly.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sunseaker:
That looks like it adds quite a bit to the thickness of the phone or is that just an illusion of the photos? Also, doesn't that case cover some of the mics on the phone?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] skola:
i bought the case mate barely there metallic silver

doesnt cover much of the bottom or top of the phone

suides are covered with holes for the bottons

its nice and shiney :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MaBlo:
It adds a little thickness, but not enough to bother me. As far as I can tell no mics are covered.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tids2k:
Here is a tease for everyone '_'
[Galaxy S II Accessories] silverwolf0:
You bought two, a yellow and a white one? :D jk

That looks nice. Since one person has already said the silke isn't as rigid as hoped, I'm assuming it is silicone based and has that loose flappy problem, to some extent, which would probably annoy me, I guess I'll go for a capsule instead. Can't decide if I should get white or black tho (other colors too colorful, where's metallic blue? :() But would like some more pictures of black one. Since SGS2 is selling millions now, you think they'll lower the price? It is expensive compared to the $2 TPU cases out there.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mattism78:
That's a good looking case. I thought I remember reading somewhere that it was designed for the thicker Korean model. Can you confirm this? Where did you get it from?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] :
Ah. Matte Black! Glorious. The only thing I don't like is the cutout for the Korean version. Anyone know if they make one in the same matte without the cutout?

Are the Pleomax made in black? I've only seen them in bright colors.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MaBlo:
Another user posted pictures of the black one. It looked really nice, but he said fingerprints showed easily. That's what made me buy the white one. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dk206:
Yes please!

Would love to see it real live. Thinking of ordering a white one myself too after getting the black sgp capsule

Just in case no one has noticed ~ Case-Mate have now stopped sending screen protectors with their case orders.

Clove made a blog this morning on this.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
Yes I noticed that. I just thought they might have misplaced it with my order.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rixsta:
Beards !! Last time we spoke I was but the learner....now I am the master lol

Hows things mate.....:)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rixsta:
I have the SGP case silke ...What an awesome case it is ...

I also tried the SGP Capulse ..More of a vinyl feel and shows more fingerprints ..although it is tougher than the silke ..

Anyways ...Fully recommend and pretty popular ..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Beards:
Sorry Rich, you have me confused.

Are you the originator who contacted Clove on this? :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rixsta:

Yeah I thought that when I first got it - but the little arms hold it in very well - no slipping at all.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Leryan:
Hi.

Can't find, too much posts :)

Where are you buying SGP cases? From Ebay seller gutkoreainc?

This case fits only Koreas SGS2 version or it will be perfect on all SGS2 phones?

Thanks,

Andrey
[Galaxy S II Accessories] brandenk0:
I bought my SGP Ultra Silke case off of gutkoreainc and yes it does fit the UK model of the SGS2.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ludow:
Good place indeed. Exportprive is much cheaper.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
Just got my Zenus Air Carbon case. On the left is the Korean official SGSII case that I have been using, but without the nice S font (but cheaper too).

Just ordered this:

I hope it serves as a wallet also, because I need a new wallet. I think this looks pretty nice and elegant. I don't want to have a case all the time but when I have the phone in my pocket.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sckc23:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Nimroth:
ordered the completly black one a week ago. should be here by beginning of next week i guess.

i will make some pictures and post them here...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Beards:
In case anyone is wondering..... I'm still waiting for the case but when it does arrive I will do a small review including photos.

Items that I will cover will include:-

1. Quality of the case (include does it mark easily, quality of leather, stitching, overall professional look and feel).

2. General protection (include screen, corners and camera).

3. What kind of bulk it adds in reality.

4. How practical it is to use.

a). Does the flap open quick enough to answer calls.

b) Ease of general use (does the flap get in the way).

5. Does it build up any heat.

6. Are the holes aligned correctly.

7. Does it interfere with the sound, camera, Power, Volume controls, Headphone socket and microusb connector.

8. Is it easy to remove from the case for phone maintenance.

9. Can the flap be used to act as a stable prop in Landscape mode.

10. Does the Magnetic Closure interfere with the operation of the phone.

11. Any other business.

I've just ordered the Casemate Safe Skin from mobileden.co.uk costing £9.99 and free delivery. It says delivery in 1-4 working days so hoping I'll have it by Wednesday. Will post up pics when I get it and let you know what it's like.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] RMXO:
I have the SGP Silke but it picks up too much dust inside so I ended up ordering the bacl & white version of the SGP Capsule. Hopefully, I wont have dust issues as I do with the Silke version.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] DARKKRAKEN:
Got a white Nillkin case 2 days ago and already it looks like crud, the white finish gets grimey really quickly because of the rubberised finish.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dk206:
Yup you should never get a white case if its made out of silicon especially. Gets really really dirty and have to wash frequently.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mattism78:
The Zenus looks NICE. Is it a hard snap-on type case?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mobile-freak:
Did you have the european version of SGS2 ?

I got also the same case and i have the European version of SGS2 but the case is for korean version with 8,89 mm so i notice just a bit the difference of 0,4 mm
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
Yes, I have the UK version. I can't tell the difference of the 0.4mm, and there is no free play in both cases, even though both are for the Korean model SGS II.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hazardousguy:
I decided to buy a pouch on eBay ("GENUINE SAMSUNG I9100 Galaxy S II Sleeve Leather Case", can't post the link but you might be able to find it in a search).

As you might guess, didn't go well. Although advertised for the I9100, it's actually the pouch for the I9000 (original Galaxy S). So the phone barely fits, sticks out the top. As an added bonus, the seller didn't include screen protectors. Hopefully Samsung will sell a decent pouch soon.
