The screen protector that comes with the zenus case is not good.

Its cloudy and isn't clear. It reduces your screen brightness a lot too.

Case is good tho
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Bawezy:
Yeap the screen protector that comes with it has a high matte finish to it. But it's also a very fingerprint resistant, I had bubbles on mine so I took it back off. I'm using the Zenus Black Estime flip case I bought from here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150602114787&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mur76:
hi can you review the case, i'm seriously thinking of buying it, can you charge it with the case on? does the top feel too exposed, any problems with the flip being cumbersome etc.

thanx
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Bawezy:
A SHORT REVIEW OF ZENUS ESTIME

The pictures here are taken by Fornowagain as I couldn't do it any better.

-The case is an excellent fit and it's a little flexible so it hugs the phone pretty well so it isn't bulky.

-And NO you can't charge it with the flip case closed you will need to open it to charge it. However I prefer it that way as it prevents dirt from going in to the MicroUSB port, thus for that reason you won't find many that allow you to charge it while the flip is closed. If it still bothers you, you can still punch a hole through it (although I won't recommend it).

-The top right hand corner is a little exposed (due to access to the antenna with the Korean version) but the phone doesn't stick out at all. The device is still fully protected and you have access to the side buttons, 3.5mm jack and the strap hole with the case closed. There's also a filtered hole for the rear speaker to prevent dust and dirt from going in.

-The phone stays intact in the case and doesn't drop as the leather surrounding the phone grips the device pretty well.

-The full natural leather coating feels excellent in the hand although it has a smooth texture, it also gives you a nice grip, and about it being cumbersome; no not at all as I said it hugs the phone pretty well hence the reason why it has a thin design and isn't bulky at all.

-It has a luxury design to it, so it goes well if your wearing a nice suit to work, although some might think the inside border design can be a little too contemporary.

Overall the product protects the device very well and I highly recommend this case to those that love showing the phone off to your colleagues at a work environment. Zenus produce some of the most high quality cases and they're worth every penny.

Please don't hesitate to ask me anymore questions about this product.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mur76:
Bewezy does it have any problems with the screen protector and can you flip it all the way back when using the phone or use it in a generic GPS holder (the one that adjust and clamps the phone from both sides if you get what i mean).

Also where did you order it, i'm thinking of getting the brown one and your review has convinced me as it seems the best without adding massive bulk.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Bawezy:
-Yes you can flip it all the way back, I do that to charge the phone.

-There isn't a major problem with the screen protector it comes with, the problem is based on your preference. I personally don't like the way the phone looks when it's wearing it as it has a matte finish, and we all know protectors with matte finishes give the screen a rainbow affect and make everything seem so pixelated. You may not need a screen protecter though as it protects the phone very well, I personally wear an ear-ring hence the reason I have to put up with it. However I have decided to buy the SGP protector as I've heard great reviews about it, haven't received the product yet.

-About the cradle holder, I personally take the phone out as it isn't that hard to do so. It also depends on what kind of cradle holder you have, if it's just a clamp from both sides then I don't see why not, I can't judge as I use the samsung official car cradle.

Here is eBay seller I got it from: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....114787&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_7095wt_979

I also recommend you to buy this screen protector if your fussed: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150605363185&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Both of those products are from the same seller. The item is delivered from Korea but took around 7 days for it to arrive via free postage. Still waiting for my SP as I've ordered that much later.

EDIT: Here is the link for the brown one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Samsung-i9100...Accessories&hash=item231095e817#ht_7095wt_979

I ordered a carbon case, straight from the EU site, but I ordered as a guest (refused to create an account just for that), and I also chose not to pay with my paypal account...The site confirmed my order, but I didn't get any email / invoice / tracking number / order number...Is that normal?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Bawezy:
That's why it's safer to pay by paypal, and it's always better to make an account from the sites you buy so you'd know which account to refer to when speaking with them over the phone in cases like these.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mur76:
whats the eu site?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Flowlance:
Here's the Carbon case. It indeed came with a screen protector, but I decided to leave it off, as I had a hard time removing all the dust / bubbles under it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] coincoinlapin:
http://www.zenuscase.net/?currency=EUR

I meant the European site :p (still no confirmation by the way)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Richdog:
Thanks so much for that review old chap, many will find it helpful. As a final question... can oyu please tak emeasurements of the length, width and depth of the device with the case on? Just so we can work exactly how much bigger the complete package is in reality over the stock device. Also, is it not at all annoying to have the leather cover hanging down off the bottom of the phone when you are using it or looking at the screen? :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tosheeba:
Let me just say that, although small, there's still a chance of the mobile fall in a weird position and damage the top right corner.

In sum, with a zenus case, the only part that might eventually be exposed to impact is the top right corner.

Besides that, the case feels nice in the hand, doesn't add too much in terms of weight and measures.

Good case overall. 4 out of 5 stars just because I feel that the top right corner could benefit from extra protection and grip. (grip between the case and mobile, not between hand and case)

Q re MASSTIGE BAR STAND

Can the stand be used to hold the phone up vertically as well as horizontally?

if so, photos?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] phusebox:
I also have the Estime colour point (in brown) and love it... People think it looks like a really expensive case, so that is a good point. I love the feel and first was afraid I would find the flip style annoying, but it's not to me. It keeps my screen protected at all times.

Also it is very easy to take out of the case, so that is a great plus too.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rooster19:
I just recieved my Zenus leather stitched pouch.

I would post pics but the CDA app ain't working for some reason :s

PROS

- Lightweight

- Thin

- Sexy

- QUALITY

- Fits in pocket

CONS

- Hard to use with phone during first use (feels like pouch is small)

Pretty much sums it up, you just need to get used to the initial use of the pouch and widen it out.

Also, I somehow got two cases with mine lol.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Waldemar0815:
Hello, i did the same, in guest mode i ordered a prestige carbon real black and paid with paypal, got confirmation from paypal about payment to kyung jin corp, but no email confirmation from the zenus site, what happened?

My order got through?

I can get my money back from paypal?

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Accessories] poofish:
I did the same thing as you. I ordered from the Zenus EU site, and received only a confirmation email from Paypal. Three weeks after I made my order (and around the time the case should have arrived), I emailed them about it. They replied saying that the order had been for some reason filed under incomplete orders or something, but that they were NOW putting the item in the mail. I would suggest you email them asap to get a confirmation of dispatch.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ragflan:
No. Stand cannot be used vertically.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] connectandroid:
looking at the carbon case myself, is the screen cover just leather or it's hard material covered in leather ??

thanks

[Galaxy S II Accessories] mossief1965:
I ordered the Prestige Carbon case on May 13 and paid via Paypal. I received the paypal acknowledgement but nothing from Zenus to confirm my order. I checked back on the site last week and there was no trace of an order under my account so I emailed them and still have had no reply. In the meantime I opened a dispute with Paypal. The order is now showing up as "failed" on their website but They have not contacted me about this and have not refunded my money.

I cannot speak for their products but their Customer Service is shocking. No order confirmation, no replies to emails, no refunds....

I had a similar issue with them having ordered through their international website, but when I aked them via mail to the status of my order I instantly got an email back explaining me that they had suffered from a problem in their ordering system. After resupplying them my original order details, a day later I received from them the shipping info.

Last week I received the package and I'm a happy owner now. These cases are really beautiful.

I can also confirm that a screenprotector is part of the delivery

All in all I was quite pleased with their responsiveness and service :)

Try the PDAir one. I have that for now, and it has credit card slots as well as a (detachable) swivel belt clip. Nice quality as well...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dbgt:
Hii!!!

Im also looking for a case... i thought first about buying the case mate tough case, it looks very good, but i also want to cover the beautiful 4.3" screen..... so this is my first time looking into the flip case category... but i have my thoughts.., its a bummer that i have to open the case to charge the phone (exposing the screen....thats the whole purpose im looking into the flip case...to protect the screen....) and i hope it is not very weird to answer the phone with one side hanging... or just with general use, gaming, internet browsing, chatting, etc... what do you think? how do you find this???

Im torn between these 2 cases; the zenus estime brown leather case, and the sgp argos brown leather case (you can find it in exportprive.com or ebay, i cannot post links, im a noob)

Has anyone tried this last one case?? it looks very good also, very stylish and good quality, but i have not seen any single review or comment about it... and pricewise is the same, what do you guys recommend??

Also, is it safe to order from exportprive?? or what would be faster-safer?? ebay? zenuscase.net??

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] skoop99:
Hmmm... Just did an eBay search for the SGP case you mentioned, and I came across this seller:

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/GUTKorea?_trksid=p4340.l2563

He seels all the cases mentioned in this thread, and cheaper than from Zenus themselves! Free postage as well, at least to the UK...

Can anyone post a picture of the estime case, with the flip side all the way to the back of the phone,

is it uncomfortable this way?? to make phone calls? gaming with the phone sideways? is it easy to manipulate the flip side?? like staying in the back, or you have to constantly push it??

what about the sound speaker and camera, do they get blocked when using the phone with the estime case?? (as you have to flip one side to the back to use it)

@ludow: thanks for your suggestion, but visually i like a lot more the zenus estime case.

Thanks that was bugging me while I wait for mobilefun to get them in stock. The ease of return using local shops is why I am waiting on them. Nearly bought the official Samsung flip but the Zeus one looks less bulky and has a mf inner on the flip which should be safer when in my pocket.

The white one looks pretty cool but I'll likely go for the black then again:confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deezdrama:
my captivate is v2.2 froyo rooted w z4 and lagfix, My stock battery barely lasts me through a night at work,

I ordered a 3500mah battery from ebay and when i received it I charged it overnight with my phone off....

The next day was a miracle! Battery stayed at 100% for 2 hours, by the end of the day I still had 60% battery left!

I read that the first couple charges need to be cycled so i tried to drain the battery by playing a movie over and over with screen brightness and volume at max.....

the battery lasted forever, after getting it down to 7% I charged it overnight- sameway with phone off, but now nomater what i do it only lasts the length of a stock battery.

I tried unplugging,plugging back in, phone off , phone on, waiting hours after it says 100%(on charger overnight) and tried ac and usb charging, but it just isnt seeming to charge all the way.

I was going to buy a second extended battery and an external battery charger but all the external chargers i see on ebay say are only good for li-ion batteries up to 2000mah, plus i had to modify my otterbox defender case to support my new battery and it would be a pain to have to take case apart everytime i swap batteries.

Ive been reading for days about what to do to no avail, all the external chargers i see arent rated for 3500mah capacity and I wouldnt mind flashing a custom rom that would support extended battery charging but the more research i do the more confused i get.....

Is there a kernal out there that is stable and supports charging these batteries with no bugs or issues????

What custom rom would be best?

please help......

any info is greatly appreciated

Owain has made some great custom ROM's and people should chill out a bit more with developers they ain't getting paid for this it's just there hobby if a bug a annoying the hell out of you learn how to fix it or be patient it will get fixed eventually.

Owain has been working on mini ROMs for a while now he has some new phones maybe he should start working on them if his heart isn't in the mini pro any more.

Owain whatever your choice your a ****ing good developer and thanks for all the work you have put in since I got my phone a couple months ago I waited patiently for your new ROMs to come out to test.

Take care

Hey guys,

My Transformer is set to arrive shortly, and I've noticed that even the Asus reps have recommended not installing the OTA update. However, I have also read that you can only turn the update down three times before the system forces it. So what's the best solution for those of us who haven't taken the device out of the box yet?

(Also, I understand methods have been discussed in other threads, but I couldn't find them via search. I also didn't want to "hijack" the Bricked Transformer thread. Perhaps this could be a central thread for advice for folks just getting their Transformers now.)
