[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
Yea I know about the Kickstand case. Mobilefun doesnt seem to have the vented case otheriwse I could have taken it for review. Thanks a lot :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] poofish:
Sorry robbie, I'll try to get my hands on a friend's camera or something soon if possible, but for now I can't get a picture with the phone in it.

I looked at sunseaker's pictures of the official samsung hard case, and to me it seems like the Zenus case is about the same thickness. Although, I think if placed on a surface, the phone might be a bit thinner with the Zenus case because the lip on the Zenus seems less pronounced, and the edges on the front don't exceed the screen height like they do on the official case.

If you're considering it for protection, I'd say the Zenus offers more in terms of corner protection, but less in terms of 'preventing-scratches-on-your-screen-when-you-for-some-reason-decide-to-place-it-face-down-on-cement' as the case doesn't raise it off the floor.

Oh, and the glossy plastic parts of the Zenus case match exactly with the glossy plastics on the Galaxy S, so it blends in perfectly. Good if you like minimalist design and solidarity, bad if you want contrast haha.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
It's one to keep an eye on though thanks for that!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] xsaintzx:
All hard cases do look better than soft case, but do they provide good shock absorber?

Or else they all gonna end up cracking after fall together with the phone, worst case your phone will crack as well.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Vulpix:
Hey poofish, mind if I quoted your post for another forum? Full credits to you of course!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] poofish:
Go ahead :D

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Bawezy:
Great looking cases however I did try finding myself one. I initially bought the Krusell Donso pouch, but then I had a response from the company saying they don't have any available in stock. I then decided to go for this:

eBay Item number: 110683947402 (Can't post links)

It's the original Samsung flip case. Just wanted to have something Samsung branded lol. Although I haven't seen or heard any reviews about it yet.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Hampa_D:
they declined my offer for a fiver and what it looks like raised the price with a £. well oh well i'll buy it from the other seller
[Galaxy S II Accessories] OdieS:
Strange, the same seller accepted my offer of £5 yesterday (took them over a day to do so though), I got an email this morning saying that it has been posted.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Beards:
He probably got fed up of people offering £5 and as such not only is he now refusing but has also had to put the price up £1 to cover his losses... :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nikzDHD:
Demand and supply!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] skola:
Im wondering the same thing - fancy me a hard white case :D

Yes it will provide some scratch protection but if I ever dropped the phone would it help atall? any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] vimto25:
Lol yeh price is up with no best offer, they sold a great deal recently and still worth the asking price as they range from 10-20 to buy.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] vimto25:
I got 1 of them and don't like it tbh although gives good protection, much prefer Samsung official case
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Doggonit:
Vimto, have you seen the SGP case?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Samsung-Galax...ccessories&hash=item2310d6cf24#ht_10881wt_979

Looks pretty good to me! I might be tempted, but first I have to wait for the Samsung case to arrive (got it for 6 quid, free shipping) and the phone itself! Haha! I need to get a screen protector nice and fast though. I'll prob. get a SGP Ultra Optics kit for about 11 quid with 2 protectors, 3 for the camera, 4 sticky thing to remove dust, cloth, squeegee, etc. Seems like a good deal for an apparently good product.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] brandenk0:
Hey I tried bringing it up earlier in this thread but whatever. I ordered this case a few days ago and hopefully I'll get it in next week but SGP's screen protecters are awesome quality. Hopefully the case is as good as the screen protectors.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nightic:
Although the SGP protectors are excellent, don't be surprised if they don't come with the Camera Lens covers.

Although they were supplied with the SGS1 kits and are listed as being included with the SGS2 ones, my understanding is that they're missing this time.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chizzwhizz:
Does the SGP case fit the UK sized SGS2 or is it only for the korean model?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] RMXO:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...87884&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_10459wt_979

i just ordered the same case. will give a review once I get it. Paid $20 for shipping cuz I dont like my phone being naked. I would rather be safe than sorry
[Galaxy S II Accessories] vimto25:
Not bad but im sure they do a slimmer 1
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
I've found out something horrific about the official vented hard case!

Today I took the case off and noticed a very pretty polka dot pattern on the back of my phone! It was indeed the dust that had settled in the vent holes and rested on the phone

This might be a bit of an issue lol. Will see what the Nillkin hard case is like and decide on which I want to keep as the primary case.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rooster19:
So would this kind of thing keep happening?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] αкαѕнα:
WOOOT.. I just ordered that case on Ebay 5 min ago :X

CRAP.. hope it’s not too bad
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
It's not a major issue like I just updated on another forum, I guess it just means I'll be removing and blowing the dust out every few days if the Nillkin case turns out to be not as good as the official case!

You only notice the dust if you take it off, can't see it at all when it's on.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nikzDHD:
Anyone found a good pouch? Being a previous BB user the included pouches with the BBs were nice! As I'm always on the move I need protection all times, Otterbox are excellent but who knows when they will release their cases.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] olyloh6696:
Got myself a great silicon case £3.99 with a screen protector on ebay :D Makes the phone alot sturdier and some weight to it! (not too much!)

Excellent bargain! (play.com)

Waiting for invisible shield now! Who else is...? :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Doggonit:
I was fully aware of that happening, inevitably so really. But the vents actually do look good, and as you said, it's not visible with the case on. So, I'd say this is really a non-issue. I really dig the look of the vents in your photos. Might be just your photo magic ;) , but I'd say it's aesthetically brilliant.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nikzDHD:
First case to provide that little bit of camera protection.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AllGamer:
THAT IS A SWEET CASE! :D

i can't wait for the phone to become available to Tmobile
[Galaxy S II Accessories] brandenk0:
Yah I emailed the seller and they replied back saying that it does fit the UK model.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cmd512:
I'm not a fan of the exposed tops and bottoms though....
[Galaxy S II Accessories] LawAce:
Has anyone got any hi-res Case-mate barely there photo's I might have missed?

Undecided between this and the official case....
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Nimroth:
would be interested in some pictures too. but honestly i dont think i will buy one of those. (same problem as with the original samsung mesh case, with looks even better in my opinion)

i really cant stand the thought of it falling on the top or bottom...

why couldnt they just build one to protect the whole phone? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] outsidah:
Ask and you shall receive. I just took these now, it's late so forgive I didn't spend too long setting up the shot. Hopefully it helps you all. The case is very nice and feels very sturdy. It snaps in and holds the phone perfectly. I was looking for something light that wouldn't bulk up such an awesome phone while giving me some protection when I place it down on tables and the like and when I have it in my pocket. This case was just right for me. Please note the flash made the case look much lighter than it is. It is a nice dark gray/black color. Feels nice in your hand.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] h11g:
guys what's the thinnest case for sgs2?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chizzwhizz:
Did you get the screen protector with this? If so, how is it?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Samsung-Galax...d6cf24#ht_10881wt_979&clk_rvr_id=233337945365
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Polluxus:
Did anybody find a more rugged case yet? Looking for a case that gives some protection during outdoor activities. Zenus case leaves to much exposed, Otterboxes don't protect the screen. Realy like the IvySkin idea but it is for Iphone only.

http://www.ivyskin.com/quattro4-case.html

Anything comparable around for the Galaxy? It won't be for day to day usage so a little bulk doesn't matter.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] LawAce:
Awesome, thanks man. Appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Beards:
Yes..... Just use 30 feet of this stuff. :D

... and here's the full link.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] vimto25:
I would say the Samsung official case, also looks the biz
[Galaxy S II Accessories] -=DmR=-:
Hi guys, do you know where can I get one of these? Google translate does not help much.. How much does it even cost? 52 000 what..?

[Galaxy S II Accessories] outsidah:
The case I bought was the Case-Mate Barely there, not the one you linked.

It did include a screen protector but it was the wrong size! (looked like it was SGS1 sized).

;)

I don't have the Samsung case to compare, but the case-mate one is VERY thin.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
Casemate looks good indeed! can you measure how thick it makes the phone? I only handled it in store you see but it was brief.

Nillkin is still going through the postal system so I expect another week :(

Meanwhile, the official case has had a homely touch added :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hazart:
Wow, that's looking good! Where did you get that Android sticker? :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
Can get them here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110681017855&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mahdibassam:
A VERY NICE LOOKING CASE :

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120724817557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nightic:
Careful, that's for the (thicker) Korean version of the phone (notice that the upper corners of the case do not feature the same profile as those on the UK-spec Black Mesh one) and so the fit will likely be loose on non-Korean units.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mahdibassam:
oh **** ! i already bought it 2 days ago! lol

il just have to wait and see then...

Samsung Launches Pleomax Cases for Galaxy S II (Korean Variant)

http://en.akihabaranews.com/95237/p...omes-with-pleomax-soft-and-durable-back-cover
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jbpf77:
I don't get the point of the official Samsung 'mesh' case, or a few of the others. The back of the S2 is scratch resistant matte plastic anyway, and the exposed ends means there's a 50% chance that if you drop the phone it's going to land on an exposed edge. All it does is add unnecessary bulk, doesn't it? And some of the other silicon cases posted in this thread are hideous, I can't believe people aren't too embarassed to admit they spent money on them!

~

I've got mine in a soft Mofi pouch when in my pocket and nothing at all when I'm using it. I've got full control of my fingers so I don't often drop things.... That way I actually get the benefit of using the "world's thinnest smartphone", and it's not wrapped in £3's worth of rubbery plastic that makes the phone feel like a cheap dog toy. ;)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
The Samsung hard case or casemate do NOT make it feel like a "cheap toy" - In fact the smooth texture makes the phone feel better. Pouches are fine but an extra faff for quickly checking a message and so on.

I am liking the look of the Sena Ultra Slim though...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Willbuh:
Just wondering, has anyone else bought this case and if so, any good? As I'm about to order one but want some friendly feedback here first. I'm really not sure what case to get, but this one looks like it protects all the corners etc. and even has a screen protector.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150606368548
[Galaxy S II Accessories] zxz88:
I've ordered it and just waiting for it to arrive, will let you know what it's like once I get it :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] krabman:
While I agree that some of these cases seem ill equipped to handle a drop different people are going to like different things. I'm not getting a case just for protection, (mine is a tough case which is full 360) I'm getting one because the phone is TOO thin. The N1 was the first phone I had where I felt that way and the feeling is the same with this one. I would love it if I could trade that thin for more battery, win win to me. I would also like it if I could get a phone that came from the factory with a premium hard rubber casing stock. Nice and grippy but doesnt stick in pockets or collect lint and protects the phone in a drop. I care about what my phone can do, not what it looks like. Based on nothing more than reading around I think I'm in the minority on that one but there it is. lol I'm not sure if anything could more increase your chances of dropping and breaking your phone than proclaiming on a public forum you have full control of your fingers and dont often drop things.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Corell:
I ordered the "Genuine Samsung i9100 Galaxy S II Black Cool Vent Case - SAMGS2CCBL" as posted earlier in the thread from bmcdigital.co.uk. £8 total with free shipping (had to add £3 shipping from the ebay seller that now bumped price to £9.95+shipping), so this was a better deal :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tids2k:
bought one of these. pleomax is official partner for samsung accessories :D

[Galaxy S II Accessories] tro11:
How much thicker is the korean version from international? I like the Pleomax ones but I'm not sure if I want to wait for an international version to be made vs padding it myself with paper/cardboard.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Willbuh:
I'm just not sure whether to get a pouch case or the ones that fit around the phone.. :/
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
From where did you buy it mate? Which colour? Also did you get the Korean version itself?

The Korean version is 8.79 mm thick I guess. And Im not sure if the international version is releasing
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Durvann:
just ordered this:

Case Mate Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 Tough Case

I think it also comes with 1x screen protector

Wanted a case that covers all corners, thick enough so that the back part where the camera sticks out doesnt touch flat surfaces and with borders high enough to put the phone up side down and have the screen not contact surface.

Looks like a pretty good one, ordered from UK website were i also got the phone.

I guess its made for the slimmer non NFC model since the top right corner is not exposed.

The Galaxy S version has great reviews.

Its heading to Canada so it should be here in a week.

Just ordered the Sena Ultraslim perfect pouch as I was after a pouch case. Will ship it to USA before shipping to the UK to avoid potential £20 fedex fees! Slightly longer wait but will be worth it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 23R0:
I was planning on picking this one up too! The first link that you provided stated that the korean galaxy s2 is a bit thicker though, so it might not be a perfect fit for the international version.

Could you give us an update of how it fits once you get it?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jbpf77:
LOL yeah I'm playing with fire there aren't I?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Little Dragon:
please do a full review once you get this case! i'm really interested in the results
[Galaxy S II Accessories] t0ph0id:
I have one of these for my Nexus One.

While it is a lovely case I don't use it that often because it's a faff to check messages quickly.

Might get a case-mate this time around.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] slyydrr:
Did you make the switch to the SGS2?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] t0ph0id:
Yup.

Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
Well I'm not sure if its manufactured by the same brand. but I once got a case that has the same design for my BB 9300 Curve 3G and it wasnt properly built. The camera hold and speaker grille werent aligned properly.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] arjun90:
Yeah, many of the cases that selling right now are not manufactured by the same company. Instead, there is one Chinese company manufacturing these cases as bulk. The companies that do the bulk purchase sell them individually sell them under their own brand (rebranded). That's what I am skeptical about. Does any one what cases are made by the same manufacturer that is trying to sell them?

Please make a list. I don't like duplicates, or in other words bootleg sh!t.

and there is free shipping worldwide. I will post small review when arrive...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] :
Please do. It's the first one I've seen that I would actually purchase. I would be worried that it's for the NFC version since it's made in Korea.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] slyydrr:
Hey, I bought this one and it fits pretty well: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...56463&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_2944wt_1139

I know it's not exactly the same but if you're looking for a TPU case, this isn't a bad choice.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] arjun90:
Thanks, that looks good- currently in India, hope to get it here instead, it will be cheaper on eBay India, lol. :D

[Galaxy S II Accessories] acb77:
I've had this case for a few days now. Never had a pouch case before but I've got to give it a 10/10. The leather is very very nice and the whole thing is extremely well made. There is a little built in strap which you pull to half extract the phone and it has an aluminum panel which is a nice protection for your screen. Highly recommended.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] cmd512:
Cheapest option to the US. Total for 2 cases + 2 sets of Ultra Optics was ~$10 USD. Not bad for 1 biz day international shipping for sure.

Tried out both cases, they both fit PERFECTLY on the UK SGSII (got mine from Handtec in the UK). The SGP capsule also comes with an Ultra Crystal screen protector, so I'll try both the Optics and Crystal out to see which one I like better. (I'm pretty sure I'll prefer the Optics though, I simply can't stand fingerprints!)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] t0ph0id:
Just ordered a case-mate, will take some pics when it arrives.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Spybreak:
Could we get some pictures of the Zenus placed on the SGS2? I'd like to see how thick it is and wether it bulks up the phone a lot or not. Does it improve the grip?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cmd512:
Already got rid of the Zenus, sold it to another local owner. Form and fit were spot on, but there was 1 thing I did not like: With it snapped on, the metal edge around the screen of the phone sat higher than the front of the case. So, whenever I flip my phone screen down for conference calls, the phone would be sitting on the metal edge of the phone and not the case.

I'm not ok with that given I use my speakerphone quite a bit for work/conference calls. But, others might not mind.
