black cotton effect case arrived today. Build quality seems good. Not sure about the feel as it a bit slippery when closed, when open outers fine as your thumb and forefinger grip it on the buys that hold the case in. looks wise if anything it adds a touch of class to it without attracting too much attention. The white would probably be stunning but how long it would remain clean is another matter.

The edges seem protected apart from the top right corner which exposed when open but should be okay when closed. The clip closing without a big flap with a magnet is a nicer design.

Guys,

I have bought a zenus red leather case for 22 incl of delivery and it arrived today morning.Quality is really god and fits well. No magnets, but after having this case, now the phone feels like really expensive and nice as well. As most of the time I put the phone in shirt pocket, I can feel a bit more safer with this case.

reason for mobilefun , because they have no quibbles return policy.So, very nice and well done to mobilefun for dispatching quickly.One more thing I forgot , it comes with a very good quality screen protector as well.

Regards

VJ

I'm not getting one of these cases just due to the fact that they're made for the Asian Galaxy S2 variant with the TV aerial therefore there is a big hole in one of the top corners.... How can anyone tell me that the case looks good with that... What do you tell your friends that holes there for? Speed hole lol
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Pwgadget:
Okay I need to add something more to my Carbon Black review and ask a question. The case is so slippery I am beginning to think its more likely to get dropped than it was before. Can anyone who has one tell me if the slippery feel wears off once its been out and about for a while.

I'm for sending mine back to mobile fun at the moment but all the other quality cases apart from Noreve have magnets closing them and I have read this is something to avoid re the compass/GPS I think. The red leather Zeus looks amazing but seems it scuffs easily.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MISSDIVA:
My red case is the same, I cant comment on the other colours but the red case is not good quality leather.

My case looks worn and old after two+ weeks. Im not impressed at all.

new case. Got it in 2 days in Korea. Skin Air Jacket Monochrome series, color "Off White Black". I think they are sold out on the USA website.

I love the case. Feel great and it's a head turner!

MY ZENUS CASE IS IN THE MAIL *****ES!!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] soraxd:
q WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

AND ON TOP OF THAT LOOK AT THIS OTHER EMAIL I WOKE UP TO
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Huck33:
keep us informed

if i understand well this guy shipped the case himself?

how did you contact him?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] evan79:
@soraxd, how did you pay?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] soraxd:
well i may have jumped the gun saying 'its on its way', but its not far off, i emailed zenus, and they said they dont offer shipment to the US from their korean site. but i guess they forwarded this email to the zenus boss, and he/she (sorry cant tell by the name) was very nice, and said if i dont want to wait, they would send it to me personally. so hopefully it will be sent out tomorrow.

ive replied to him, telling yes im very interested, and told him that i am able to pay via MasterCard creditcard, PayPal, or Google Checkout, and that i am interested in EMS mail. unfortionatly our different time zones mean i didnt see his email till after his work hours.. it might be easier for you brittish people, because your time zones are closer to korea than mine are, im exactly 12 hours apart from him.. but after he tells me how i should pay, i will immediately pay.

and to both of you, i will definitely keep you posted on how everything goes! if you have any more questions please feel free to ask, ive ordered many times from Zenus, and can tell you the quality of their cases is first class!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jonrwg:
Can anyone read korean here? Lets do a bulk order. haha

[Galaxy S II Accessories] acb77:
Which case did you order mate?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] soraxd:
the white one, in the first pics i posted.

if someone did a bulk order they could sell the extras on ebay, or in a sales thread on xda, im sure theyd all sell out fast

One can buy Zenus Cases easily through the Gmarket ( http://english.gmarket.co.kr/ ). Their delivery (to India) was very prompt for my SGS case. Today I ordered a Zenus Chocolate Fold case with them.

Still nothing up on their international page. Disappointing :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] soraxd:
i got my reply from Mr. Zenus himself!

if youre wondering what that EMS is, i paid for rush delivery, it wouldnt normally cost this much. so yeah he followed thru, took him a day, because i guess it was a holiday. but hes going to send it out today, and he said it should only take a few days, so hopefully ill have it by early next week. awesome!!!

What happened to the carbon cases? :/
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Potato-Dono:
Yeah! Was looking forward to those the most, might just go with the normal leather one then.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Huck33:
carbon series & Eco design are not available...

:(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] acb77:
Seems strange why they wouldnt offer them - unless it had something to do with the size difference (still dont know if this is true or not by the way)??
[Galaxy S II Accessories] soraxd:
well that really sucks, but luckily for me my carbon White case was just sent out an hour ago

should be here in a few days!

i really suggest you wait for the carbons, theyre totally worth it, i had one on my sgs and it was awesome!!

IN ADDITION, MY PHONE JUST LANDED IN OHIO WOOOOT!!! ITS A 4 HOUR DRIVE AWAY FROM ME, BUT ITS ON MY STATE!! what do you think the chances are of me getting it today? its 347am my time atm

[Galaxy S II Accessories] george232:
They look extremely nice, but I never used a book/folder style case - does the flip-over part get in the way when using the phone?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] krabman:
Going to be an individual taste thing, I gave one a go and didnt like it but that they sell so many tells me other folks do.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MakeYourOwnTacoNight:
It's well documented that the Korean model is a bit thicker.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] murklor:
No it doesnt. Will it annoy you? Possibly. I've been using flip cases for years now and they dont really bother me. The benefits just outweighs the chances of discomfort by a vast amount. Also note that it flip DOWN. Not over. It makes all the difference in the world, no annoying flap smashing your head when you put it against the ear.

Wallet/book type cases are worse, since you literally have to fold it all the way around, then hold it. With my worn SGP (ie pretty similar to Zenus), I can just flip my pinkie at the flap after I'm done talking and it closes, lol. Its easy to handle with one hand.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Waffeleisen666:
I'm from Germany and wanted to buy this case, but they want the money be transferred to a bank in Hong Kong? Maybe these cases are not the right if you got the handy without NFC.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Huck33:
Not sure to understand..

These cases are now on eBay, about 28 delivered to UK.

It's not really my business, but doesn't anyone noticed the Verizon Galaxy S2 on Monochrome Series? Isn't that good news for the americans?

Different buttons(4) like with the Original Galaxy S.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Fornowagain:
Who knows? That may just be down to stock levels. I've seen 'Carbon Series' for sale is Europe with no mention of thickness. Besides I'm having trouble seeing how half a millimetre is going to make any difference. Is leather case tolerances that accurate, 0.5mm?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] skanj:
most of the Zenus ones available here

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/GUTKorea/_i.html?_fsub=2481562014
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Incarniac:
Yeah, it probably won't make much difference - my HD2 flip type case holds the S2 well, if not for the length difference it would actually hold it securely (not quite as tighgtly as it holds the HD2 but holds it just fine - although the lip at the top of the flip side doesn't fit). The HD2 is 2.5mm deeper and 0.9mm wider than the S2.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rooster19:
Which one is better the carbon series or the prestige hand stitched one?

Also, you reckon the price would decrease in a month's time?

looks top notch, torn between this and the carbon fibre one. Anyone got one of those yet, just wondering what it feels like?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] poofish:
i just purchased a monochrome case from the ebay seller that skanj linked, and i specifically asked about the size difference between the EU and korean models. the seller's reply was:

I ordered it with expedited shipping, so when I get my hands on it next week i'll let you guys know what its like :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] n-j-f:
I think I should have ordered mine from the ebay seller! I ordered mine (in stock) from Zenus on Monday and paid for expedited shipping and it has still not been sent yet and it's almost the end of the day in Korea. Zenus have not replied to my message about it. :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] abuyon:
same also with me...i order on monday but untill now zenus still do nothing...status showed Processed .....
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Emporioo:
Thanks so much for posting that link!!!

I searched everywhere for the carbon version and couldn't find it lol.

Was literally about to buy the black leather one as that in itself looked fantastic but changed my mind after seeing this thread and noticing the carbon ones.... yummy :D

Hope it fits... Still not even got my phone from o2 yet - ordered it last week! If the case comes before the phone... I'm gonna be mad :P

Thanks again :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] BlueScreenJunky:
Just ordered my Carbon black too (from a french distributor), I'll let you know if it fits nicely on the european SGS2.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Huck33:
from a vendor called exportprive

and yes it's smooth

really enjoy it
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jedster:
Thanks, but does that mean that the "carbon" effect is printed/painted on?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Mitashi:
How is the usability with it? I had a flip case for my Legend but I'm not using it because the edges of the touchscreen aren't reachable. And if you're using the phone, is there a possibility to flip the front side all over to the back? So that you can't see it while using the phone?

Sorry for English :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Huck33:
no it's not painted, i don't know how to describe that but you can feel the fibers... not sure it's very clear

yes you can flip the front side all over the back

Thanks for the heads up.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AXIS of Reality:
Don't worry too much. While it can get warm after a lot of web browsing / gaming on maximum brightness (as most smartphones do) it's actually far cooler than my original Galaxy S was!

Hasn't gotten anywhere near where I'd be concerned. Just 'warm' is as far as it's gotten for me, and that's after a lot of Gameloft's Modern Combat 2 on max brightness with WiFi on.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Fornowagain:
Just received a black carbon one today, its a woven fabric. Fantastic quality. Really torn between this and the leather one. Decided to keep the leather in the end, won't keep the carbon. Btw I don't see any problems with overheating, battery can get up 35C but that's not high.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sorrowuk:
I don't know whether to get the carbon one or the leather flip one.

What you think?

Are they the same? Like dimensions and all that just different material ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jedster:
Where's the most reliable place to order from? I noticed that some people ordered from the zenus.net website but were saying they haven't received theirs yet?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Fornowagain:
They're exactly the same just a different material. The Carbon looks nice, feels nice. But the leather is a bit more traditional, more my style :cool:

I'd bet they come from Korea regardless of the description. Tbh if you don't mind the wait, the GMarket is very good. Or check ebay, seen a few sellers now ;) .
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Mitashi:
Ordered Carbon edition :)

Can you post some pics of the leather case and with the phone inside?

How does the paying method work on the Zenus site?

Do you place the order, then pay? So like eBay where you commit to buy?

Or do they send some sort of bill to your address?

Did anyone get this?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] n-j-f:
Got my Fiery Red one yesterday from Zenus. Looks and fits very good. I still prefer the Orange/Black case I got from Zenus for my Galaxy S. One slightly disappointing thing is that, because Samsung have moved the USB socket from the top to the bottom the flip case has to be open (or flipped back) while charging. With the S the flip could be closed.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] KLoNe1:
Interested in this one as well!

As said before, the only downside is the lack of a hole to charge the phone with the case shut :(

I ordered the black carbon zenus case from exportprive a few days ago now. I got it sent with EMS. I am in the UK

When I check the tracking it says this :

16:46 20-May-2011	Arrival at inward office of exchange	GBCVTA

16:47 20-May-2011	Handed over to Customs	GBCVTA

Customs retention reason : Inappropriate invoice

Anyone know what this means or did anyone else get this?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ludow:
Wait few workdays (2-3), customs will (may) release your shipment. If not, contact GBCVTA customs personnel and tell them the tracking number and value of the shipment. In the worst case you have to do all the paper work via official way.
