Case-Mate Emerge Smooth Case

I just received a Case-Mate Emerge Smooth Case – Blue color, it fits good and has all the necessary slots / cuts. The power and volume up/down button are covered and the surface is raised for easy access. Power key is easier to be pressed comparing to the volume key which needs some more pressure.

It has a very minimal Matte finish and the build is quite solid without adding much bulk. The screen also has protection because of the raised edges / ribs as well the camera. The relief I get this is the ingress / egress out of my pant pocket especially jeans, because it is quite smooth and it does not stick on as the Amzer silicon jelly case I previously had. Also the Amzer case used to cover the edges of the screen making typing of the corner characters a bit difficult. This is a better designed case!

expensive, but oh so worth it. well made, pretty durable, and holds just about anything short of a tablet.

The only downside is no magnets, so you'll have to tell it you're in car mode

ebay. Recently bought a black one from there and it's great! :)

Got it for a lot cheaper than anywhere else too.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Padres_84:
Looks nice :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] xsaintzx:
Apparently I got one extra on hand, I've PM you about it. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] amacrobie:
Worth being wary of the ebay mesh cases, many "genuine" cases with the non-italic logo are in fact made by a OEM rather than Samsung (I used to have a snotty email from an ebay seller over this point) and don't fit the EU handsets particularly well.

This is because some variants (Korean, for one) of the SGS2 are thicker (around 0.5mm) to accommodate additional features (such as NFC, DVB).

I like the sgp Neo hybrid and sgp Neo hybrid ex I have been using them both for a couple months and they give you a good sense of security and I think look really nice. They will fit with the extended battery too
[Galaxy S II Accessories] guarezz:
Sgp neo hybrid secure all around the phones.

Very good case for me.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] dannyc93:
HI all in the market for a new case and read allot of posts but still cant decide on what one to get...

I want a very slim case adding minimal bulk, preferably going all around the phone not like barely there where there is a cutout at the top!

Is neo hybrid my best bet?

Thanks all :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] SamKia:
i have Incipio NGP , so far so good

be aware from the echo problem , you can solve it by using custom rom and disable NC mic
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dannyc93:
I have ordered the incipio (funny did it before you recommended it haha) Im rooted running ICS but what exactly do i need to change with the MIC (any drawbacks from doing it?)

Thanks for your help mate
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rambell:
I have been using a simple matte white back cover for my phone for the last few months. It gets dirty easily and now have a few yellow spots.

I just ordered the sgp linear, will probably arrive in the next 2 days. Can't wait to see how it will fit. I've heard the back piece will move about slightly but that shouldn't matter too much.

I am thinking of getting the hybrid too. But reading about the rubber sagging/heat issues, maybe I will go for those cheap knockoffs. I am thinking since the hybrid and hybrid ex have the same bumper frame, perhaps if the rubber sag, I can cut it and turn it into the hybrid ex. Thought? Perhaps those who own the hybrids can share their view?

Anyone here owns the white s2? What cases are you using?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bernard134:
Is there any plastic case the protect even the top and bottom sides of the phone? Im looking for one. (:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] peterelliott11:
Like this?

I have had one of these since I got the phone last year, adds a little bulk, but I felt the phone was too thin anyway and this protects everything but the screen.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] SamKia:
the first month i had the incipio there was no echo , when the echo appeared 20 days ago i decided to change my rom and have NC mic off by default (My phone was rooted with zergrush exploit and still on stock rom) , i installed Checkrom V6 and one of chainfire kernels.Then i installed a mod from the kitchen app that makes the NC mic off by default with no increasing ringtone. no problems so far.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] deweini:
i'm sorry if i ask an already answered question, but is there any case worth its money that doesn't cost more than 15 euros???

i thought i won't need one, but i was proofed wrong.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] icehot666:
Yes you get a nice dust pattern underneath lol. Honestly this is the best looking case so far for the phone, but I won't use it because i am paranoid that if I drop the phone it will just snap off like it did a while back for me - it's a shame, if they can make it so it won't do that, it's obviously the best in other ways in terms of looks, and the mesh probably helps keep the phone cooler than with other cases.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Joe_Nalin:
Tough case + heating?

Anyone who has casemate tough case on, comment on the phones heat during gaming, Wifi and charging? Would help if some one from India comment, this is mainly of the climate :cool:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kokochan:
I m from Viet nam , using Case mate Tough case for 2 weeks now and the phone heat stay only warm as same as no case with charging and web browsing . So i didnt see any differences with case on or without . maybe i didnt play much heavy game then
[Galaxy S II Accessories] whmcal:
I purchased this cheap S design one too...i'm very impressed with it! Before, i'd been using casemate's barely there case and a glossy silicone one from Amazon. I found that the barely there case was tough... but only where it didnt need to be. I used to almost get angina from handling my phone outdoors when it was in the barely there case...worried about it falling on its bare edges or corners. Another issue was that the barely there case made the volume and power buttons 'recessed'. Thus, it was kinda hard to access them. It seemed a little bit like style over substance.

In contrast, the glossy silicone case protected. No worries about edges or corners, but it was kinda loose in places, had horrible rubbery feel and collected fingerprints like a mirror.

The best of the bunch for me in terms of protection and aesthetics has been the S design tough black case. Grippy, firm fit, tough and full protection at almost a tenth of the price of the Barely There case. Ok, so there's no trendy name attached to the back of this case, but in terms of doing the job well, I would definitely recommend it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] avorym:
To be honest, I haven't noticed any substantial increase in heat during normal usage. The phone does feel warm while using cpu intensive apps (in my case, file expert), but nothing far from the ordinary. It feels pretty much the same as when I was using a barely there.

Those arent practical enough snd they are makring the device very bulky...

I still do not have a case... I wad trying on the mash and barely there and both arent covering the device fully...

Now Im waiting for the Otter, SGP hybrid or 3DO... Depending on the price and releas date will buy one pf those...

It doesnt look nice... Plastic and bulky...

The SGP Hybrid are gone on the home page!!!...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Phytrax:
I have the Casemate Tough also and I haven't noticed any heat issues, even with wifi sharing and some Netflix use. The case looks nice though, has a great feel and good protection. Buttons have a much softer feel than using some TPU cases.

I also used one of the S-curve TPU cases from ebay. They have a very nice feel and very cheap. Look good too, but less protection.

Both slide in and out of my pocket easily, which is a big deal to me.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] oofol:
It's a nice one how ever it's makeing the phone toooo thick for me...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Archer:
I'm just hoping that it's so thin that a case won't make too much difference to me. I have to check it's still in my pocket sometimes, it's that thin and light!

[Galaxy S II Accessories] dannyc93:
Well the incipio arrived...that was fast :P

Fits amazingly, no movement at all when the case is on! Love the matt texture as well very nice to the touch and adds hardly any bulk and it make the phone easier to hold! Perfect case IMO and only £10 on amazon ATM...go get one guys can highly reccomend, only small issue is the buttons are harder to push but hopefully they may loosen up a bit!

Havent heard this echo yet...can you hear it or the person your talking to?

Thanks for the heads up on the case...was previously using the cheap S-Line case from ebay which is good for £2 with 3 screen protectors but doesnt fit as well as the incipio!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] SamKia:
The other person will hear their voice echo during calls (if it appears) , and yes the buttons are a little harder to press but i can trade that for the security the case provide.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] FatPhysicsBoy:
I bought one of those 0.3mm cases off of eBay, and although they feel very nice on your phone as you can barely tell they are there, (e.g. they lie below the camera aperture) it left marks on my phone because the inside is made of that rubbish hard plastic crap!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] maksin01:
I've been using the SGP Neo Hybrid for a few weeks but ended up going back to stock (no case).. mainly because the S2 looks way better without a case imo. :p

[Galaxy S II Accessories] gma388124:
I got the incipio ngp case today, its a great fit for 2000mah battery (I don't have back cover on tho and can't test as I lost it). I like it but I thought this case was a hard cover but its not so I'm going to be returning it.

Protects the phone allright, not too bulky and looks quite okay.

Even fits the 2000 mAh battery by Samsung.

Modified case

I was searching for cover flip case where the phone was hold by a silicon case.

The reason i wanted that was simple. First i wanted a flip case that would cover my screen so it will protect it, but it will never fit in my docking-station so it must simple to remove the phone. As i was searching i found only cases with leather or plastic holders. The leader is mostly to high at the corners so it's not easy in use and the plastic holders click you're phone on there place so damaging the phone or bracking the plastic was a mater of time. So if found the solution in a silicon case fitted in a flip case. Couldn't find one, so i created one.

First bought the Muvit silicon case samsung galaxy s2

The flip case of is the Yoobao flip case. The reason was for it's locking mechanism and it's easy to remove plastic holder.

So the modding began.

Removed the plastic holder.

Glued the new silicone case with glue special for flexible surfaces ( like the nose of your shoes )

Easy removing the phone and fitting it back without damaging anything and maximum protection.

( Pics wil come as soon as i get my 8 Posts :rolleyes:)

770 CAD??? IS IT SPECIAL OR SOMETHING? I bought mine from The Telephone Booth for 671 dollars HST included. It was locked to bell and i stupidly paid 60 to unlock. But there are plenty of free methods to unlock the phone on xda and google so unlocking can be considered free.

sgp neo hybrid , or neo hybrid fakes but they arent the same quality much cheaper though and both fit ok

a genuine one will cost approx £20 uk pounds and comes with a decent steinhall screen protector

the fakes cost between £6-£12 uk pounds and dont come with a steinhall screen proetctor

they defo protect the phone and keep it nice though although there can be a tiny tiny bit of sag near the camera , i wouldnt recomend it if i thought it fitted badly though

I have been using the Zeus flip case which is dark brow with the orange inner.

It has been a GREAT case, stylish and looks good. Has protected the phone well after the odd drop or two :)

One very good feature of the case is that it is VERY easy to take the phone out when i get in the car and want to put it in my car dock :D

May look for a new case soon though as mine is a little ragged now and there are always loads coming to the market.

Thanks for this thread though as there are some good suggections :D

It most certainly will,only thing i found is at first it was ok except the buttons were stiff to press- i gave it a break and used a pouch, yesterday as it was maybe the 4th or 5th time i had taken it off and on again i put it back on and so far (touches head) seems good! It is only the power button that you need a touch more pressure on but that doesn't bother me as id rather it didn't easily press in my pocket for example.

Hope this helps- im sure i read the CM case is £8 on amazon at the mo :thumbup:

Seidio Surface

I have been using the Seidio cases for my Nexus One and Galaxy Nexus and now for the I9100. The case does not add to much bulk and the protection is decent. Full coverage with recesses for the camera and the screen. I was able to use a screen protector with the case without any problems.

The case is compatible with I9100 and AT&T I777 but will not accommodate the 2000 OEM extended battery (Seidio does not offer a case).

Overall, I am very satisfied, especially with the compatible holster.

eBay Flip Case & OtterBox Commuter

I actually went out and bought this flip case ($2.88) and have used it for several weeks now. I must say, I kind of like it.

When that is said, I also bought the OtterBox Commuter, and I am sure I will use that whenever I take the time to apply the screen protector first... The only complaint I have with the OtterBox Commuter is that it is very smooth and slick on the sides and back, which makes it easy to slide in my hand, especially if you have very dry hands. I am looking into applying a rough-sided tape or something on the sides and on the back which makes it get a nicer rougher grip on it!

Anyone else feel the same way as I do, with the OtterBox? Anyone who have done anything about it?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] SwannyBhoy:
I got a similar case, instead of the flip magnetic lock, I have a magnetic strip so I don't have the hanging bit at the top.

To be honest it keeps the phone away and clean but it is far too thick and it is quite difficult to use the phone in landscape mode.

I have used the mesh cases and the rubber gel cases and I still prefer the phone without a case.
