Yes, I'm sure. I bought it from Samsung authorized shop. I also check the "Galaxy S II" sign at the back of the case to make sure that it has italic "S" instead of regular "S".

I am still at work. I will upload an image once I'm home just in case there is actually a fake case with italic "S". By the way, this Samsung authorized shop is located at a mall right across the building where Samsung Indonesia office resides & my friend @ Samsung Indonesia confirmed that the shop is legit authorized shop. If they sell fake stuff, I will definitely report this to Samsung Indonesia.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] infamous6622:
i'll be waiting for your pics, got a red case myself so a little worried now, bought of

amazon.co.uk.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] arnoldod:
Here's the pic. Sorry, about the low quality image. I don't have a good digital camera.

The 1st pic is image of the right side where the color worn out along the edge. The 2nd pic is the left side, where the scratches occur around the hole of Volume button and on the top side (not visible). The 3rd pic is the "Galaxy S II" sign.

Sorry if the images are too big.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] TECK:
Ya, is the original case... hmm so this is painted? I thought the plastic is all through the same color.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] arnoldod:
Possibly, the black one is not painted but looking at how my case scratches easily (and badly), most likely the rest of the color, except white, are painted.

I was thinking about getting Otterbox Commuter to replace it but I saw in 1 of YouTube review that Commuter catches dust on the corner (the curve shape) between the case plastic and the rubber. I don't want to clean up my phone every night although I love it so Commuter is out from my list.

Currently, I'm thinking of getting 1 of Capdase soft jacket as this is the most widely available case in my country. Tried search the forum but unfortunately I cannot find any review about capdase soft jacket for SGSII.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ediflyer:
Hmm - I'm now onto my 2nd official SII case and once again am having problems with the little connecting bar of the case above the volume control cracking - anyone else experienced this?? :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] samjpullen:
Why thank you very much :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] pixie77:
Picked up the mesh case from the video today from phones4u for £9.99, noticed it wasn't on the website though.

Just a quick moan....

It really annoys me when you have to wait for a manufacturer to supply accessories may be 2 months after the release of a product, it would be nice if the whole thing was coordinated from day one so that we can protect our little babies in genuine products the day we buy them!!!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mchu6am4:
Offer of £6 declined! :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hazart:
Couldn't agree more!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Doggonit:
Supply and demand in effect. The earlier you put in an offer, the more likely you were to get it accepted.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rooster19:
I have a question.

If i buy this from eBay, do I need to contact them to make the purchase? Becuase that's what it said on the description...how would that actually work?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] αкαѕнα:
Just ordered this from Ebay...

samjpullen should have some commission for that sale ^^
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Hollow.Droid:
Nice vid, I was looking for this case and am very glad I came across this thread, another sale :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] esk02k:
Ok ok you got me. Another sale here. Glad I found this thread, been looking for something thats not too bulky.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] samjpullen:
I agree :D

Show me the money ;)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] falconeight:
I enjoy your reviews keep it up. I won't tell anyone your a Mac lover like I am.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] samjpullen:
Shhh ;) its out little secret :D

I have a 2nd Official Case on its way to me, i won it for £5 on eBay and thought well why not for that price.

So i shall be giving it away on Youtube :), also got 2 £2.99 cases that are pretty decent.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mchu6am4:
Best offer of £6.50 still pending seller approval! Anyone else manage to get for that price in the last couple of days?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wadyas:
I cannot find this case anywhere on ebay, can some one post a link please?

Just got my s2 yestueday... was dumb of me not to get the case first!!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rooster19:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400215959988&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

There you go.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wadyas:
Thanks allot for the link... These have shot up haha.

Does it really protect thr sgs2 e.g. The bezel and corner i think thays the most importment part to protect??
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rooster19:
I haven't got the phone yet but I do know it does protect the back from scratches on the camera lens and the curved bump on the back.

It has an elevated part near the lens to protect that and rest form on the outside.

It does not protect the top and bottom of the phone though.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] iphonecases11:
there are other cases for Samsung Galaxy S 2 available now on the market especially in UK, I'd recommend Tough Case by Case-Mate for those who value protection and Barely There for sleek look and minimal protection, check Case-Mate EU they might have more cases available for this phone, don't know how it is with otterbox as they seem to be a little late with stuff but again worth checking for those who value protection over the look
[Galaxy S II Accessories] daleski75:
Brought the official case as well for my new Galaxy S II and just waiting patiently for it to arrive.
​
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Potatoman:
Got mine for 5.99 on amazon UK, shipping included. Will verify authenticity and provide link when it gets here.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sekarang:
Can you say something about the surface of the case - is it "slip-resistant"?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] zen123:
This case with the perforations looks perfect as the device can get pretty hot so the holes should help heat dissipation.

I've been using a plain black gel case which I'm sure attributed to the couple of times my phone shut itself down because after taking it out of the case it was very hot to the touch.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rojdag:
this case looks ok but the only thing im worried about is it looks like there no prtection on the corners? which is why i have a case on, to protect the corners if it gets dropped!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Beefheart:
Not covering the top and bottom concerns me as an accidental drop is far more likely to result in damage in those areas rather than the back. Still, it looks nice and if I come across it I might take the plunge. Happy with my CaseMate gel cover for now though.

Is anyone aware of a similar style case (perforations etc.) but that covers the entire phone?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] anti-derivative:
Just picked one up.it's nice and unobtrusive but stupid because it leaves the top and bottom completely unprotected. Why did they do that? At this point, for me it's a "better than nothing"case.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] leedavis:
Any Aussies on here know where to get the genuine Samsung case down here? Don't really want to pay the international postage.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rooster19:
I don't think any aus selllers have it yet, you would have to wait.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] esk02k:
Just got it today, yes the case has a slip resistant feel.

Its kinda like the back of my old htc desire.

Pretty nice doesn't really add much extra size to the phone.

Like everyone else, I wish the corners were covered too

As thats what the phone tends to land on as it comes flying

Off my lap when I jump out the car lol. Just have to be more

Careful.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] CandyAndy:
This looks pretty cool. My main concern is that I bought SGS2 because it is so slim. How much does this extra cover add to the thickness? I love my phone cause its slim and sexy, don't want it to get fat.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rooster19:
Trust me you won't even notice it lol
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mchu6am4:
Price gone up again..bad seller! Cheaper link from Korea and you can choose the colours!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170642952202&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Potatoman:
Got my cases today, both more than I could have hoped for :)

(First one - Second Official one)

The official one was 5.99 when I bought it, but that link is dead, so I guess I got lucky ^_^ it's still worth £10 though, unless you need a stand I prefer it. My only gripe is that it doesn't protect the top and sides.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shawsky:
I got my official mesh case today. Very happy with it, feels nice. It's not sticky but it's not slippy like the phone either. Looks good and is hardly noticeable. Thought I'd post some real world pics in case (hehe) some of you haven't seen one for real. Don't worry about the badge on the back, for some reason my camera makes it look nasty, it's not, it's the same as the video on page 1 :cool:

(that's paper dust on the corner btw)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] onbacardi:
if this case had edges on the top and the bottom it would be perfect.

i feel like its a bit useless. i don't think its going to protect much encase of a drop on the corner.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jonsmith709:
I use mine with the HTC HD7 leather pouch that I got from o2 shop, perfect combination, but I know you can get it cheaper from amazon:)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] smartbot:
Thanks for the photos. I always wondered what it looks like up close. I'm seriously thinking about getting one now.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sajadkhan806:
i m going for this one i mean white one

http://cgi.ebay.com/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item1c1bc28842

and these photos r better one
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shawsky:
Yes they are but I'm no David Bailey :o
[Galaxy S II Accessories] zxz88:
chuckle :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] :
Sexy! Not sure I like all of the holes but, sexy!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sajadkhan806:
i m also a big fan of hole.:D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bbqnelli:
cool case, but i'd end up spending more for the delivery fees than the case itself :S
[Galaxy S II Accessories] yuvichb:
what was that wallpaper yu had brother...?

:D

loved it...!

:p

need it...!

:)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Beefheart:
I checked out a Case-Mate 'Barely There' cover for the GS2 today in CPW but it has the same issues as this, namely no protection for the top and bottom corners. And it doesn't even have the perforations to make up for it. Then we have the worst part - they wanted £15.

As I asked earlier in the thread, is anyone aware of a perforated cover which does protect the top and bottom corners? This Samsung one is little more than eye candy and seems a bit pointless to me given it doesn't protect the parts of the phone most likely to be damaged when dropped.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] smartbot:
Has anyone noticed that all the "official" cases on eBay have a gold Galaxy S II logo instead of a sliver one? I was hoping to find one that had the silver logo.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robstunner:
I just ordered one on ebay with the silver logo. Its claimed to be the original samsung case in packaging coming from uk. It was 9.95 gbp
[Galaxy S II Accessories] arjun90:
Availability?

Hey is this official Samsung Galaxy S2 Case available in the United States or India?

:)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] oozrafa:
From what I understand the ones with the gold logo are for the Korean versions and are slightly thicker
[Galaxy S II Accessories] arjun90:
The NFC version is a completely different size because the thickness is more. Sucks that Samsung had to do this or else we all would have had a piece of mind buying.

Off-topic, I do believe Samsung originally knew that the thickness of the S2 was going to be thicker than the original thinness reported earlier at WMC. It was all a freakin' marketing hype. Good job Sammy.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
I doubt the NFC one is thicker. The one is Korea is thicker due to the network frequency requirements and the antenna. The Global NFC version is the same I feel. The prototype I tried at the MWC has an NFC chip and it was the same.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0050N42QU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A9XYKUKJ3LFFD

The website says free shipping in the UK. Any other place to buy it for other EU countries? (interested for Greece)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hostet:
Has anyone gotta the korean version and have it fitted to the phone nicely? Is the korean version really bigger?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jadaress1:
Hi, id also like to know if the Korean mesh cases will fit, looks nice in white.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hostet:
Yes the white look really cool.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mbernstein:
Just to check: is this Korean version exactly the same as the one here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0050N42QU/ ?

I've read at Wikipedia that Anycall is the Samsung brand in Korea is this correct?

Thanks for the clarification.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Bart1981:
Case Dimensions : 125.3 * 66.1 * 8.49 mm

Pesonally I think it will be to big for our phones.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ludow:
All mesh cases from Shimshop fits nicely. I am using green.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAMSUNG-GALAX...asesPouches&hash=item1c1bc289ce#ht_8355wt_905
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jastonas:
Are these cases anything like the official? Are they supposedly a replica of the official?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ludow:
They have Samsung hologram. They are genuine and "official" enough, for me.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jastonas:
I don't care much for the "official" part but more for the feel compared to the official. If they look/feel they same, I don't care even if the hologram says Hangsung instead of Samsung :P
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jwillans:
I have the mesh case. Is there a wallet or slip case that the phone fits in with mesh case on? I need a little extra protection!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hostet:
Hi,

Where did you obtain the dimension from?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hostet:
Yes Samsung is name Anycall in Korea. My Korean colleague verified this.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hostet:
HI,

I verified with them and they claim it will 100% fit nicely as they have tried it with a UV version I9100.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hostet:
Don't worry. Anycall is Samsung in Korea. The different between the samsung brand and Anycall brand is the color of the metal piece at the back. Samsung is silver whereas Anycall is gold.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mbernstein:
Thanks for the info. But do you mean "UK" version, don't you? If not what is UV version?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] paranoid2007:
Are you crazy? Why would anyone use more than 1 case? Why not put the phone in your girlfriends handbag? That would certainly be the safest option. :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hostet:
Hehe. Yes it should be UK. Type too fast :P
[Galaxy S II Accessories] harpersneil:
Yes I bought one off of Ebay. Just be careful cause there are a heap of fake one's on there advertised as Genuine! I noticed cause the silver badge on the back is wrong. The font isn't right.

I don't KNOW if this means they're off lesser quality, but I always like to get the real deal. Here's a link to the one that I bought. BTW, I have no affiliation with the person(s) selling this item; I don't want people to think I have an agenda, this is only my first post on this website and I don't want to get blocked!

UPDATE: Seems newbies aren't allowed to post weblinks... seems fair enough! You need to search for Genuine case and CHECK THE FONT ON THE SILVER TAB ON THE BACK OF THE CASE. The S should be italic and NOT the same as the rest of the writing.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] DanteEx:
I have had the I9100 for several weeks now and have found the 'Casemate Barely There' to be a very suitable case. It is thick enough to make the phone flush with the camera so it is harder to scratch, while remaining non-bulky.

Sorry I cannot post links to the case as I am too new.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hazart:
So you're saying this is fake: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120724818382 as the letter S is not italic? Lots of people here have bought them already...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ArsAequi:
Case from post #3 is on its way to me!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mur76:
Looks like i found my case:

it has this tech (D30):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VDeJ7rLUYU

search google for this:

Original Samsung D30 Galaxy S II Leather Slip Case

it protects the full phone inc screen and is impact resistant.

just what i was looking for.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] LawAce:
Had my case come through today and it is niiiiice. Feels awesome.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jwillans:
Because I prefer the feel of the S2 with the mesh case, however I want more protection when the device is in my pocket. So I ask again - has anyone used the mesh case in combination with the mesh case?

Thanks,

James
[Galaxy S II Accessories] js931:
Does this case work with the Samsung Docking Station (ECR-D1A2) ?

( http://goo.gl/sGMbB )
[Galaxy S II Accessories] boggie81:
What about this one, did anyone find it yet?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tublah:
Does this case allow a bunch of dust to get in the back? That's my concern with it going in and out of my pocket every day.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hostet:
The case should be genuine. Look here Exportprice.com is selling the exact same thing. Samsung in Korea is brand under Anycall.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] busterdan:
I bought the official Samsung plastic case today from Phones 4U.... looks good on the phone and doesn't add much bulk. But I was very tempted by the official Samsung "flip-over" leather case too... I decided against it in the end because of the added bulk and having to have it open to charge. I will be using my S2 in a universal car holder so I don't want bits of the case flapping around. The leather case would provided better protection though because the corners, top and bottom are better protected.

The only downside is that I don't have my phone yet! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hostet:
For sure it will get through the hole. One of the forummer in this thread verified it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] minty1978:
i think the official ones have the 'S' in itallics on the back.

at least mine does, and its an official one. maybe the korean ones dont?!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
yup!

easy enough to wipe though I guess. you trade coolness in style for dust build up :p

Nillkin case is what should have arrived today so I will review that compared to the Samsung vented one as soon as I can.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mur76:
Also official Shell case, altogether their seems to be four official samsung cases:

Samsung D30 Dual Shell For Samsung Galaxy S II

see my thread for pics.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] knowlesy:
just got mine highly pleased with it :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tremium:
Mine arrived with a piece broken off :(. Can't be arsed to send it back to the UK though, might as well buy a new one in the near future.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hostet:
You may want to take some pictures and send the seller.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
Take photos and contact the seller to see what they can do. If you don't come off as aggressive, they usually will send you another one as a replacement and let you keep the broken bits.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tremium:
Already did. The only option was to send it back.

It's a small piece around the lockbutton that came off. Doesn't bother me enough to send it back and wait for another week.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hostet:
Well it your choice. At least it not a big piece
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Enyan:
Did you also notice that the korean ones have the top corners exposed (to accomodate for the antenna) whereas the international (uk) ones don't. It sucks that you have to pay twice as much (now) for that little bit of extra plastic :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] arii1986:
Just bought the Casemate tough case after using a gel case- excellent, full body protection- and doesnt pick up oodles of dust and crap like the other one did...

Price is the real off putting thing.. bit steep
[Galaxy S II Accessories] crypticc:
+1

At a tenner a bit if a bargain.

Slight sharp edges caused by plastic casting,at bottom where my little finger is currently supporting the phone. Will get scalpel to it later
[Galaxy S II Accessories] crypticc:
Mine is exposed top and bottom. Official uk
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Enyan:
The top (and bottom) is exposed in both, I mean the corners specifically. The UK/international ones (which seem to have a silver nameplate on the back) are just open at the top with rounded corners whereas the korean ones (which seem to have a gold nameplate on the back if ebay is anything to go by) are open at the top and have an extra cutout at the corners.

You can sort of see what I mean on the pictures from exportprive (google: ANYMSHBKGS2)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] αкαѕнα:
Got mine yesterday...

After one day of use i must say that this is a good investment...

The small weight added give the phone exactly the extra weight you need to geed a better feeling... And it feels smoother and you get a better grip..

Downside is of curse that it become a few mm larger in with but far from enough to be a problem...

I didn’t thought something could be cooler with something like this added, but in this case i think the phone look better with or without..

One negative thing though.. the power button is not that easy to use now.. but yet again.. you don't accidentally press volume anymore .. so,.. positive again..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jeanclaudevandamme:
A bit late for me now, i've alreadys scratched the casing on the back..:( As for the camera lens, I've stuck a bit of Zagg Invisible Shield screen protector on it, I cut a bit off a scrap piece I had.

But I actually really like how thin and light the phone is..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] R4mrod:
So do I but I just got the official case......thin, not all that protective but I'll give it a chance......
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mbernstein:
My main concern is to somehow protect the camera lens when taking in and out of my pants pocket and when placing the phone on a surface. Somebody mentioned that the official case creates a small ledge around the lens that kind of does it. I'm counting on it and ordered the Korean one. Does anyone who already has the case can confirm this may work?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] R4mrod:
Yep, it creates a small ledge around the lense :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Marschl:
where can i buy the eu version? ...exportprive and ebay only have the korean version of this case.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Enyan:
Check on amazon or search ebay for i9100 vent case

korean version seems to be called mesh case...

Unfortunately the international version is (or has become due to demand) a bit more expensive :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rocketpaul:
The bottom of my case is quite sharp, anyone else have this?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] samjpullen:
Yep, the bottom is the only thing that annoys me :/
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rocketpaul:
I normally have my little finger under the bottom of the phone when I hold it and its quite uncomfortable now. Ah well, not sure what to do about it . btw i thought you gave your case away lol
[Galaxy S II Accessories] R4mrod:
Not me......
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jonsmith709:
yeh mines sharp so I just got a casemate barley there case, I think its better as it has more protection at the top and bottom, I also use the HTC HD7 leather pouch and together they combine perfect protection :) case mate from cpw and pouch from o2 but they are cheaper from Amazon, I just didn't want to wait:p
[Galaxy S II Accessories] crypticc:
above and either side of usb port?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] samjpullen:
I got a 2nd one to give away :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mellosoft:
Noreve make some amazing cases. they have just released one but they are pretty expensive. Had one for my GS and now im waiting for my GS2 case.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robstunner:
Anyone in the US looking for one? Mines a few days old and mint, might sell it. $20 shipped and it's yours.
