How does the phone get scratched. It depends on the interior of the skin/case does it not? Some of them are soft on the inside and don't really scratch the phone when you apply them and you wouldn't really be taking them off/putting them on often enough to scratch them up. I get these skins for a number of reasons. Primarily to feel like my baby (if you will) is a bit more cradled and protected. Not to mention that it makes the phone feel a bit more grippy and adds enough thickness to the phone to make it feel comfortable in the hand. Never though I'd say this but the SGSII is actually a bit too thin. =/:confused:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] MeanWoman:
I think he meant because the skins themselves are scratched which makes it look like the phone is scratched, not actually scratching the phone.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] beaver2233:
the best looking in my opinion is the 'Mercury' cases found on ebay...just search galaxy s i9100 mercury...there are also matching coloured screen protectors...looks sweet in my opinion
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Illicit Hero:
Pop case is just as durable, and it isn't hard at all to remove it. I've easily done it and my phone and case are still working perfectly with no signs of damage.

Prefer the Pop case right now mainly because the top and bottom edges don't caught on my pants or anything else as easy unlike the tough case.

I am using case-mate tough case. I would rate it as the best case http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Cases/Case-Mate-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Tough-Cases.asp , rock soild and very good grip.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] R3Y:
Have just received one of THESE

Have uploaded more pics HERE

I must say that the build quality is top notch. The openings for earpiece, microphone, camera, loudspeaker etc. are very precise and the phone fits perfectly as well.

Received 3 free screen protectors too.

Luckily, I ordered it when it was 25.99 and seller has increased the price to 29.99 now. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dingdong555:
Have you got a picture of the front? Does the case lip go above the screen? (So the screen doesn't scratch if phone is placed face down)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shohid1234:
Yeah, and the matte texture sometimes makes it difficult to take out my jeans, and although it was around a tenner, its so much better than any case ive ever bought. Great feel in the hand, really nice texture, add very little bulk, its got a lip that protects the screen and its feels really well made that i can overlook flapping of the edges.

I just hope that it does stretch like normal silicone cases.

I waiting this

• Galaxy S2 Leather Case with Vintage Full Grain Leather

• No Magnetic

• No Sewing

• 100% Hand Made

• Ultra Slim Type - Leather Thickness 1/2.5mm

• Made by SGP in Korea

• The interior has been designed with microfiber to keep your mobile clean and sleek.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Croak:
I've been using a Phantomskinz Chromatic (basically identical to that Skinomi Techskin on the previous page) on my I9000 for a year now, and on my 7" Tab for eight months. I didn't buy it for drop protection, just scratch protection (and in the case of the I9000, a way to de-iPhone-ify it)

Besides looking good, the skin gives the I9000 a much better grip (it needed it, it's like a bar of wet soap in stock form), and seriously protects from scratches. That particular skin is 3M DiNoc, which is tough as hell. My SGS1 has had a rough life, no case, carried in pants or jacket pocket, or thrown in my motorcycle tank bag, etc, and the DiNoc still looks like new. It's very tough.

It's not hard to apply, and it can be re-applied over and over. A hair dryer, or even a desk lamp is all you need to use to apply heat to the corners/curves to make it fit.

TLDR; 3M DiNoc "carbon fiber" is really good stuff, it was made for external use on cars and motorcycles and is more than tough enough for a phone.

I bought my I9000 and my I9100 in part because of the ultra-slim designs, so I'll be damned if I'm going to put a bulky-ass case on it...if I wanted a chunky, ugly phone I would have bought an HTC. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jr866gooner:
How much is this case? And does it come in black?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ithehappy:
I'd like to know it too. And I read the SGP Argos case doesn't use magnet but what do they use instead to lock?

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] beaver2233:
well from my little knowledge of physics - magnets and electricals never go well together (if not intended)... and then again depends the strength of the magnet...I personally would avoid it
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ithehappy:
Yes I know that from Physics, but the case I liked had a magnetic locking system for the flip part! Should I avoid it and go for the SGP Argos, what locking system does Argos have?

Any try this leather case?

http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/Samsung-Gala...561629?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item45fbff62dd
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Xera1:
All it's going to do is mess with the sensors in the phone (If you read the message that comes up when you enable the sensor aided location option it tells you magnets will mess affect the results). They won't damage the phone, because there are no moving parts in there to damage. Think of it this way - the hard drives in your computer use two REALLY strong magnets (They'll smash if you let them slam together and will do some damage if you get your finger caught between them) and your computer runs just fine. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ithehappy:
Well finally I purchased the Molife leather cover. Rs.1000, US$ 22.5. Very fine finishing, yes it has a small magnetic lock for the flip part and which may come a bit uncomfortable as it is placed next to earpiece, but to me everything is fine and I am really happy with it. Got a Screen Protector with it too. Now I will sell the old Samsung cover and this Screen Guard ;), lol.

DONT be fooled by SGP cases.. i bought one capsule from SGP for $25 and i bought one unbranded for $4.

SGP one is shiny

$4 is much better and feels better at hand.

so pls dont make judgement of quality from the price.

You will lose the possibility to use the internal compass. Nothing irreversible, just put away the magnet and all will start again to work properly (one week changing kernels trying to find out the problem... yap it's really evident, once you think about it!!! :D).

I got a casemate tough case...and it is tough. To my greatest shame, I accidentally dropped my phone on the bus today (fall distance-shoulder to ground) and came out alright. I think I have gotten a scratch on my screen protector, but its ok...but then again, I have a cheapie SC.

The casemate tough case is heaps good.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] prosumerhacks:
Pix request?!

can you post some front/side and back pix of the case... how is the protection like?

thanks!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] timmy16744:
This is incorrect, the sgs2 uses a digital compass which in no way can be affected by magnets. in fact none of the internal workings of the phone can be affected by magnets, however i am unfamiliar with the screen tech so given a strong enough pull the screen may be show some signs (this would require high power earth though).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ithehappy:
I think it's negative. I installed Compass app from market yesterday just to see how it works with my magnetic flip locked case, and I needed to calibrate it for the first time, then it was OK, but as soon as you exit the app and reenter it, it shows that I've to calibrate again (some error popped up like, Abnormal magnetic field detected), then I removed the device from the case and the compass was OK, then for fun I was waving the case around the phone and the compass was rotating all the way ;)

I enjoyed it actually, cause I will never use Compass in my phone as I've it on my Pro Trek.

I've had the phone for about 6 hours. The thing I like most about it is the speed of the phone. I'm sorry it's so simple, but the fact is I upgraded from a Samsung Moment.

Not to mention I went from the EB28 w/ the Samsung Transformer Rom [2.2.2] to a Gingerbread phone w/ a dual core.

[General Questions and Answers] likeastorm:
I have read all this stuff about ADB but I'm not totally sure what that is. I was great with other ways of rooting before this phone but Z4 made that easy :) I only need root to remove bloatware and really need free wireless tether working as it was on my DX with Froyo. Has root and tht wireless tether been confirmed as working for sure? Anyone have the files needed to root and maybe a step by step to describe it all. I dont even know where to look for this ADB thing. And if successful what tether app would I need. I am new here but I'm tired of looking.

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] rwells813:
To get adb working you have to download android sdk, to use adb you'll have to change a path in environmental variables( search Google or YouTube for how to) check out 4shared.com forZ4root.apk. or a simple search for rooting Samsung charge, the info is out there and are the videos. Searching is key!! Good luck

Like to check with Transformer Guru here.

The Situation : If we travel overseas (e.g) China, some hotel does not provide wireless internet, but they only provide wired LAN.

Hence, since the transformer dock comes with USB, can we connect a USB 2.0 to RJ45 10/100 Fast Ethernet Network Converter Adapter.

But i notice that they said need OS support, so i guess there must be installation for driver. If that is the case, it won't work.

I travel frequently, and like to replace my existing net book to the Transformer.

But if i can't access the internet and my mails in the hotel, then it will be useless.

Any advise?

Thanks in advance!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
Funnily enough, I'm overseas right now with my Transformer - in Shanghai! :)

I can confirm that in my hotel there's only wired internet, and I can also confirm that my TF does not work with the USB->RJ45 adaptor that I use with my Macbook Air. In the particular hotel I'm in at the moment, my Macbook Air can't connect to the network with the adaptor either, but I'd tested the TF with it before at home and it didn't work there either (whereas it does with the Macbook Air).

However, I travel frequently for work, so I'd already prepared for this eventuality by having one of these travel routers:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003IQ5UO4/ref=wms_ohs_product_

So, if I turn up at a hotel with only wired internet, I plug this into the ethernet connection and create my own WiFi network.

Works well, and has the added advantage that all my other devices (Macbook Air, phones etc) can use the same wireless connection.

Regards,

Dave

[HTC Inspire 4G] shermanshen:
This is not a best rom question, but I'm curious what subjectively is your favorite and why? Every Rom thread seems to have at least one person chiming in with "tried them all, this is the best" comment, but surely there are some roms that just don't work out for people.

I'm running miui right now, and I love the level of customization and the little tweaks. One of my favorite features is turning on the flashlight from the lock screen, just a little tweak, but so useful. I also really liked honeysense, but I couldn't get it to stop sucking my battery 5% every hour. What do you all think?
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
I love tpgb rom for the looks and outstanding battery life. But I also like miui for the pull down messaging and the customization
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Stability. Speed. Decent battery. Everything works. Professional presentation. Elegant.

ROM in sig.
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
I guess a feature I can highlight is the CPU clock management scheme. It's automated. I like jacking with my phone as much as the next guy, but CPU clocking is a feature I would rather have automated, and from what I can discern the Virtuous devs came up with quite an elegant solution.

[Edit] And I "build" CPU's for a living haha. Funny/strange and funny/haha in a way that is pretty much the one thing I'd just as soon not to have to eff with on my effin phone :-o :p.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shermanshen:
I haven't tried that one yet, it seems very interesting. There seems to be a lot of hate for sense based roms out there, but they are often very polished. I'll have to try it out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
I like the Sense UI. Yeah I know it takes up RAM blah blah blah but whatev's I like it. As far as this ROM goes, I can't find a d-thing wrong with it. Nothing. It's like what a stock ROM should be, and Virtuous is way better than the AT&T stock ROM.

[HTC Inspire 4G] viiralvx:
Currently running Honeysense and I love the low battery consumption compared to other ROMs. Other ROMs have just drained my battery crazily. But running Honeysense has prolonged my battery life greatly while giving me my favorite Sense features on my phone. Couldn't be happier with it.

CM7 Nightly 6/19/2011 I'm new to this but I have had 3 roms and this one is superfast and runs Netflix like a champ
[HTC Inspire 4G] shermanshen:
When I was looking into buying a phone, I told the guy I was waiting for the iphone5 before making a decision. He then told me that's stupid because no matter what, you're still stuck with ios. I was a little offended because I had jailbroken my iphone and had tweaked it with lockinfo, five icon dock, sb settings, themed with winterboard and more. I showed him my phone thinking I would shut him up, and then he replied that I was half way to android. I couldn't believe this, but the more research I did, I realized that even jailbroken, I was still not able to do everything I wanted to on my phone.

One of the biggest reasons I went Inspire over Atrix was the number of Roms available and the XDA support was much better. On a spec sheet, the Atrix has Inspire beat in almost every category, but I believe the user experience is better on Inspire. Can't be happier.

Finally, for those of you on Virtuous Unity, how would you compare that ROM with RCmix3D? I really liked RC, so I'm wondering what the differences are.
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
I keep hearing about the RCMix ROM. I will put that one on the list. One issue some of us did find the last day or so is we are not able to connect adb. Weird. I am just waiting for my phone to charge to 100% and I am going to re-flash the ROM full wipe with no apps restore in an effort to see if the issue is the ROM or something in my settings.

Edit" This was fixed with a full un-install / re-install of the Android SDK. Wjy the previous install worked on other ROM's and not this one is unknown. Totally enjoying Virtuous OC'd at 1.4M. I have delved into the built it CPU frequency management scheme and it blows away cheesy CPU apps. Totally elegant.
