I am considering sweet armor, found some cheap retailers on aliexpress (not sure if they are original or not, gotta buy one to see) but would it affect signal? I have read some posts saying it affects their signal, mostly GPS. But some say it's the aluminium backplate they got that causes the loss, so I wanna find out if getting the bumper alone would affect signal in any way.

One more thing, is the bumper raised above the screen and camera? Don't want them to be scratched on my table top :D

Nice bumper! Is that the novo duotone bumper or something like that?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] caliber2001:
Bought mine at express, happy with that signal loss happened to me only when I used aluminium back cover. Don't know about others but mine it's raised around the screen and top and bottom line of three back as well. If u want me to send u link pm please.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] harari:
i bought mine from eBay, pretty sure it's not original because it was way cheaper than on their site (90% cheaper haha) but it looks the same, made of aluminium and has a nice build quality.

it is raised above the screen and camera so don't worry about that.

the only drawback i see is that it's kind of slippery, i'm used to plastic and silicone cases that stick to the desk and have a lot of friction. this, however, is hard, smooth aluminium so it tends to slide on surfaces and sometimes in my hand. -buy hey, it looks awesome!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] iamatechnoob:
[MENTION=5033559]caliber2001[/MENTION] I sent a pm, but it doesn't seem to show up in the Sent folder, not sure if it's sent :/

Hmm, sounds great, I think I might actually make my purchase right now!

I have ordered this one - ebay item 271207939061 (sorry i cannot post link now because forum rules)

I have similar one before which bought used in local phone shop together with car holder for only 9$.

It saves my phone from few drops to the floor, but now one bottom corner part is broken (because children and maybe previous drops) and phone does not hold as firmly as before.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] banjara:
I have a Molife non-metallic case for my s2 which makes it a little bulky but with it its easier to handle it. No heating issues and the Polymer/rubber padding it has keeps it protected against the frequent drops :laugh:

No hinderance to the volume/power buttons either.

Bought it in 900 INR around 2.5 yrs back and its still going on. :victory:

Looks exactly like the one shown in the link (maybe the same)

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Archer:
First impressions...... OMG :eek:

It's very nice. Fits perfectly, feels lovely (suede), and gives me total confidence in protection. At the moment, it's a little too stiff for my liking, making it slightly awkward to open and close it, but I'm sure that will relax in time.

For now, I'd highly recommend one. It probably adds about 2-3mm to each face, so it's slightly larger than it was, but that's obviously gonna happen with a full body case.

I'll post more, and maybe some pics, when I've had it a little longer and got more used to it.

at moment I got

CASE-MATE BARELY THERE CASE

CASE-MATE though ABS CASE

Mesh case

walled

I use CASE-MATE BARELY on regular basis realy great

Give you beter feeling and sertain securty.

Because it's realy thin case it doesn't make you phone thikker. recomend

Don't use CASE-MATE though yet. I jest trieded and have to say. It give realy good protection you jest feel it give good protecion. You don't have to be scared to drop you phone when using this case.

Only bad thing is it's make you phone thikker. (Iphone 4 thinkness)

haven't used mesh because it looks like it will not give any protection to the phone. It's jest plastic will break with good fall. Only thing it will do is whenn dropped block the first impact and case will break on his one.

walled like the one the first post.

It's good if you want a walled but not so handy for calling. You can't take it out easy from the walled (not in my model) so not recomend but give protection afcourse.

haven't tried th Commuter case but looks good. I think it will look you phone thikker because it has edges.

CASE-MATE BARELY doesn't have edges with make you phone slim.

Afcourse for protection edges are better

Looks really nice and hard wearing. Stylish too. Only thing that would put off ( fickle old me), is the ARGOS emblem on this case. ;-) I know it has nothing to do with the well_known store chain but still...

Guys someone from India please suggest me a good/premium quality scratch proof Screen Guard for my I9100. It was running with the G10 screen guard but it has been scratched.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] kotaro_14:
I have the Highglossy one, the yellow one, really nice got a nice commented from the young bank lady about the case. :P

I believe its neither Silicone nor TPU so it must be PC, plasticy (not the cheap kind it's high grade real sturdy and not flexible), but nevertheless a very slim and fashionable case.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] sader0:
this company manufactures nice cases, albeit quite expensive.

They also ship worldwide....have one for Dell Streak
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Archer:
I'll post some later. I wanted to have it for a while before coming back and saying anything about it, just so I could be sure it was decent.

I'll take some pics later and post some more info, but I really do think it's a great case!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tr3yt0n:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] PhaseShiftDown:
I got the casemate barely there case, but was dissapointed because it still feels bulky and I wanted something that's as thin as possible. Eventually I tracked down this case and it is seriously thin, makes the phone feels like it does not have a case on it at all. This is only good for general protection when you sit the phone on the table and dont want to scratch the back and the camera...etc. Texture is a smooth rubbery fee similar to the barely there case, and the fit is 99% perfect.

I'm thinking of buying a good case for the SGS2, but the market is full of choices and I don't know which is the best one.

I'm focused on two Case Mate models: The "Though Case" model and the "Pop! Case w/ Stand". (I'm not allowed to post links yet..)

Has anyone tried them? Is there a better choice ?

I just got the Case-Mate Tough in the mail, except I don't have the phone yet!! waiting for it to be released in Canada July 21! WHOOO.

However, when I took a look at the case, i must say it is beautiful. Doesn't seem too thick at all, has a great grip feel, and I don't feel worried at all about dropping the phone in it.

I wouldn't go with the kick-stand one just because it seems like a gimmick. I think it's more of a tablet thing. but just my opinion. What if the kick stand stopped working?

The Korean SGP Ultra Thin Air hard case looks very nice. Only 0.7mm thick. Though quite expensive at US$22.

Had the s case but succumbed to buying the casemate tough case. Feels really protected now. More shock absorbency than the s case. It's not too chunky and strangely, the buttons are even easier to press than with the naked phone without the case.

I don't think the CaseMate BL or even Tough ones can protect the screen or can they? Main thing imo is to protect the screen from accidental drops, so.....

Although expensive, my two choices are worth it. Afterall its for protecting an expensive pieces of equipment.

1. http://www.noreve.com/langue/en/product/Housse_cuir_Samsung_GT-i9100_Galaxy_S_II_Tradition.html

Infact i ordered it a month ago and the demand is so high that today I got an email that mine would be shipping today. A reason was that I chose the brown chestnut leather instead of the readily available black one. I chose it for its convenience and practicality of having the belt clip.

2. http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s2/sgp-samsung-galaxy-s2-leather-case-argos-series.html#t_features

I like the leather (camel) color and the texture, although it does not have a belt clip but it can come in handy when you dont want to hang the mobile around your waist. I might be ordering this one too.

The other worth mentioning are

[Galaxy S II Accessories] tbong777:
Never understood the use of "skins" for protection. The skin gets scratched and the phone looks scratched up anyway. Do people use these for "protection" or aesthetics? The carbon fiber looks great, but the way I treat my handsets it would be a mess in a month.

I don't use a case but understand how the thicker rubber or silicone ones can absorb the shock of a drop pretty well. Just going to have to avoid that hazard in favor of the slim thin factor.
