Im using the brushed aluminium case from case mate, works like a charm and still retains the slimness of the phone while it's still good to hold. Camera area is recessed, which is really good. And the brushed aluminium looks simply stunning.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] imlgl:
Have you had any experience with it cracking yet? mine already has 2 after 3 weeks.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bOkz:
I'm using Walnutt bumper case. The yellow variant.

* Grip is good

* Fit is good whether extended or stock battery

* Kinda rubbery so it bends to an extent but doesn't break easily, (unlike S*P which if you accidentally pulled in the wrong direction will break)

* A bit pricey but no biggie its worth it!

Got the SGP Neo Hybrid EX case today. SGP instantly ended up on my case manufacturer blacklist :P What a disappointing product, bah! The red case doesn't match the picture at all, being burgundy rather than dark red. Looks like crap - literally, as it looks like someone took a s*** in the paint mixer at the factory and made the color come out that way.

As if it wasn't enough that the color is something that makes me nauseated rather than one of my favorite colors, the case is ridiculously loose. Look at it the wrong way and it pops off one of the edges. It might be the crappy quality silicone they use for the inner piece, I've had hybrid cases from other brands on other devices before and that was something completely different - that worked.

All in all, SGP is not a company I will ever use again. I review cases and such for a living and I have to go far back to find something I've been as disappointed in as this.

Well I received my Otterbox Commuter for the SGS2. I must say, the quality of the product really is up to their reputation. Everything fits perfectly and lines up very well. The types of plastics used seem to be of a very high quality.

Surprisingly, the case adds very little bulk; I think for me, the combined size and weight of the phone and its Otterbox case makes it a perfect combo: not too thin, not too thick, and in a sweet spot weight-wise. Frankly, I don't understand this obsession with thinness; after a certain threshold, the thinner these device become, the less agreeable they are in the hand.

If you can imagine it, my phone and its case are now similar in size and weight to the iPhone 4, in one of those fairly common thin cases that we see each day in people's hands.

And, I must add it adds excellent protection. You feel the phone could drop and it would be well protected.

Only downer is, it's black and my phone is white. :mad:

Another satisfied customer of otterbox here. Had the sgp neo hybrid but I didn't feel confident the way I feel with the otterbox. I am sure that it can survive a drop. Anyways my phone is black so no troubles there.

Cygnet BlackFrost

I bought a Cygnet BlackFrost case from JB Hifi. $20AUD on sale, hard case with rubberised finish. The case spruiked the "no fingermarks" angle, I can tell you thats untrue. After a week the back of the case looked like a Police Fingerprint Sample. Its a good case though, normally retails for $35AUD
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tofeemint:
Just got my Walnutt bumper case two black from Gmarket yesterday, chose this one over SGP's Neo Hybrid EX since ive read some negative review about it after using it for a couple of months. Chose this because im planning to buy a Samsung extended battery kit 2000mAh. Fit and cutouts are great except for that cutout on the upper right corner. Love the color scheme :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] datsunboy:
I use a Belkin case....very good I think.

Its a softer rubber than some others Ive tried, so it sticks to things, which is handy
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Mark67222:
I ordered one of these from mobilefun when they first came out about 6months ago. I'm very happy with the case, protects the phone from all angles, hasn't marked the phone in any way.

Couldn't really ask for more.

After getting the SGP neo hybrid and hating it I decided I wanted to get a case to put on when I go out and leave off otherwise. Ended up getting the Noreve Tradition c leather pouch

Had to make an opening for the power button to avoid having it turn the phone off, but other than that, it's what I was looking for. It's an expensive case, real leather and all, but at least it feels like I can throw the phone against the wall without damaging it
[Galaxy S II Accessories] michael.38:
Does anyone know where i can find this type of case that covers the phone all the way around rather than just on the left and right side?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] JohnnyK58:
Very nice looking case. I have an Aluminium battery cover and I can't get any GPS signal, I get a phone signal, but no GPS, I have to switch covers when I use GPS, which is not very often for me.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nightprayer2404:
I use case just for making S2 heavier :D

Loving my Casemate Tough case, that I have had for 6 months now. Dropped it multiple times, not a single scratch. The only gripe is the soft TPU internal case might collect a fair bit of lint.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] trailmaker:
I actually wouldn't recommend any of those 2. I have them both. The first one has a magnetic clip that doesn't go well with the compass, plus the clip is very annoying when you're trying to talk on the phone and it falls over the speaker and front sensors.

The second one is again very annoying because it takes some effort to get the phone out. I guess that most of the times people drop their phones is when they pick them up or use them. You can't use the phone in the case so it will only protect it when it's in your pocket. Not a very good case imo.

I'm thinking of buying the original samsung flip cover but the back is open ... there's no perfect choice really.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] crinolina:
white Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 Original Flip Case - Lime/White is the best verry slim and also protects the screen
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sp3llv3xit:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Steria:
What are the best tough cases out there (for the i9100)? Like Otterbox etc...

I am looking for a tough case that protects the phone well, which does not collect lots of liniment and dust on the phone itself (and underneath the case, on the phone's edges etc).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Ybother:
I have bought 2 cases a silicon with a kick stand and the Casemate Barely There case.

I used the silicon most originally, I liked the kick stand, good grip and it offered some protection if dropped. The kick stand has damaged the battery cover on the phone.

I am using more and more the Casemate, it feels good in the hand and is quite grippy. It offers only minimal protection but adds little to the phone's size and is much less likely to be dropped. The phone without a case slides out of my hand with ease.

I have had about 5 months of use out of these cases.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Cptnodegard:
Tried those dirt cheap TPU cases with curve design on ebay and love them. So cheap, so good. Had to make my own docks to fit the phone with case but the phone just has such a much better grip with the case on
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ApophisXP:
using the Otterbox case here, its lovely. absolutely love it.

Even with the 2000mah battery it fits perfect.

Feels Solid, good grip, screen protector comes with it too and that feels smooth as. Has flaps to cover the usb and the headphone ports.

Feels slightly more splash proof too compared to other cases i've tried anyway
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mr.megi:
I bought the Samsungs Genuine Case , I really like it , the quality and everything is really good!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AndrewRoid:
Got the Casemate 'Tough Case' that comes with the inner silicone and hard outer plastic case.

Is a very good case, but does add a little to the size of the phone with the hard outer case. Can use just the silicone inner, which decreases the size considerably. Keep camera lens well protected too.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Nurra:
Any wallet case recommendations? I'm using one but it's too tight to replace my actual wallet. I'm looking for many pockets, both inside and outside the case.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] anthonyebell:
im using the casemate too, its definitely the best i've tried. feels like (slightly) less protection than the otter, but much slimmer.

my only complaint is that the edges overlap the front of the phone so crap can get trapped under it
[Galaxy S II Accessories] onlinejobwork:
Ha ha ha in this price I can buy another cheap android phone in UK, very costly:)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] giorgosgeo4:
My opinion is that the sgp hybrid neo is the best case for our phone. I had the casemate pop, barely there and the sgp neo hybrid ex, before a week i bought the sgp neo hybrid and i am content that is the best case, its not so thick like the casemate pop and it feels nice in the hand with a nice grip.

I like the white or wood grain skins. They keep the scratches off. Have you actually busted a phone dropping it?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] glenncain:
I switch between Zenus Air Jacket Black, Prestige Lizard Bar Stand Green, and the black version.

Quite a manic with the leather. Love the lizard series.

Of course its not real leather though they advertised it to be. it can be scratched off, but its not that easy to, so normal use is fine. Only under more extreme forces will the leather give way to being scratched.

The lizard does not provide all round screen protection but at some point it does. Pray your phone falls flat, otherwise the corners stand a change to be defaced.

Does add quite a bit of bulk compared to Air Jacket, it made pressing certain buttons and holding it a bit awkward, but I have since gotten used to it.

The fit between the green and that black version varies. The green fit well, no complains. The black was quite loose and immediately reduced the sense of quality it was supposed to have. but it is easily solved by heating it over the stove and reforming the shape slightly for a tighter fit. NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED.

Edges of the both lizard case do get scratched the easiest, upon which you will see the brownish underskin colourr, some form of fibre may be seen be coming off as well. rectified by recolouring and coating a thin layer of epoxy.

while it seems like a lot of issues through reading this, i absolutely love the two case and the problems mentioned are probably inevitable based on the type/finish of the case they are. the bad stand has afforded me many moments of convenience when watching video, and the original finish of the case was ace. highly recommended.

the Air jacket is a plastic case with a nice weave pattern on the back. provides a fair fit, a modern and racy look, giving the phone just about the right bulk for my hands. protection comes flush to the screen, so pray your phone does not fall screen down. sections around the port holes are thin, but robust enough to handle normal use. may snap in place but can be join back with CA glue. a cheaper alternative but still as valued as the two other case above.

Simply the Best

The Otterbox commuter gets my vote.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Masked Avenger:
I've been through a lot of cases both expensive and cheap (the mesh one looks nice until it inevitably snaps!)

Currently using an Acase Superleggera PRO, which for under a tenner is extremely good - two layers (one rubber, one hard) and really nice construction quality.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Skatespeare:
I use a very simple black leather case from dealextreme. I cost me only 4 dollar or something, but it keeps my phone well-protected and it's very easy to use. It has a lever that makes it easy to pull the phone out of the case without having to take the entire phone+case out my pocket.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Gubro:
I use the genuine Samsung mesh case. Does the work, I am happy with it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
The Neo Hybrid case looks sexy but is a cheap piece of crap.

The rubber doesn't fit well and is overly loose. the plastic makes it barely ok, but the whole construction feels crappy as hell. Cheap and loose. Looks great though I'll give you that.

The whole bump makes making cases an issue. The tightest fitting cases are like slider cases. Case in point: iPhone/iPod cases. Any other cases that snap on the side will always suffer from being somewhat loose and stuff. While the bump can make a phone look sexy, it really makes case construction an issue.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] CrashUK:
its a Leather case... Get a pdair.. best leather case out.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] King Shady:
Totally agree. I love the white Neo hybrid that I have but the rubber stretched out and the overall construction is poor. The best cases I've ever had were probably the incase slider case for the iPhone. That case was the bomb

SGP Linear is the best IMO

Is there a way to clean this?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] adotkdotjh:
I totally disagree. It is severely overpriced for it's built quality. GS2 can get pretty hot after heavy usage, and SGP didn't take that into consideration when they designed neo hybrid. Silicone is not heat resistant at all. It will look cool for the first month or two, but after that the silicone will start to lose it's shape and eventually end up with a huge gap between the silicone and battery cover of the phone because of the phone's heat. Better choice would be Neo Hyrid EX, which doesn't have the back silicone cover, thus no sagging problem.

SGP admitted to having this problem with Neo Hyrid, and it beats me why they are not fixing the issue.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chrisjcks:
Any case designed for the Korean SGS2 is terrible! (for our international model)

Big Hole on the corner & slightly different dimensions for loose fitting.

Cheap but good case

Hi, i know that there are some really good cases out there but for me, i wanted something cheap and reliable. Normally i just get the cheap ones from eBay but some have turned out to be very nice for the price i paid.

The one i'm currently using is a meshed, clear, gel case. I like it because it protects the phone well since its made from a hard gel, its clear so it looks quite well and meshed so allows some ventialation for the phone and the best thing of all, it only cost about $2 :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] LNJ:
That's just a replica of CaseMate Barely There. No top or bottom protection either.

I have the CaseMate and like it. Mine is matte black and looks nice on my white sgs2. But if it ever drops and hits the top or bottom, I'll have to kiss the phone goodbye.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] maksin01:
Hey I'm looking at the Otterbox and Case Mate Tough case. I like the design of the Otterbox better but I have a question about the back of the case. Is it kind of glossy and does it attract finger or palm sweat/grease on it after using it for a while? I absolutely hate having finger grease/sweat on the back of my case (I had a Case Mate Pop case and I really hate the greasy plastic back :mad:) so I may go for the Case Mate Tough case if the back of the Otterbox attract finger grease/sweat. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dizzydz:
Sweet Armor + Aluminum Back cover ;)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] siregorash:
The hard case have two surface.

The back, that is smooth. Does capture A LITTLE (Real minor) grease. It does have sweat stain if you have real bad sweaty palm. Otherwise, it should be alright.

The rough surface is at the side. It doesn't capture grease or have sweat stain.

Nice grip if you're grabbing it by both of the side.

The silicon skin does capture sweat and grease. Not only that, it capture fabric stuffs, eg.. hairy stuffs where you can find on a piece of facial tissue.

Correct me if I am wrong for the above part.......................

Whatever I said might be over EXAGGERATING as I'm named cleanliness freak by my friends.

But anyways, I do clean my phone and the casing once or twice a week to maintain the hygiene level. It does NOT requires soap or anything similar to clean it. Just water cleansing will do. My friends only cleans it every month or few. Cause they don't find it dirty.

My main concern was accomplished as it did save my phone from one swing drop while walking, table height drop, one chest height drop and one staircase drop (It rolled down the stairs).

Otterbox = phone burkha

Just got this the other day - phone white, otterbox black - not a great look. Otterbox fits the phone perfectly, and the combination of silicone inner and polycarb outer makes for a solid protected feel. However, it feels like a lump of plastic and looks just like a lump of plastic.

No doubt it will protect the S2 from nuclear assault, close encounters of the concrete kind, dog drool and anything else you'd care to throw at it, but it also makes the phone look like a pig, and not the lipstick wearing kind that resides in Alaska :rolleyes:

Not sure what to do with mine. Part of the reason I bought the S2 is that it looks good, so hiding it away feels wrong.

Just my 2p's worth.

Cheers, Jon

hi

OK its been a while since the i9100 has been around, and I was/am using the nillikin case (which is very similar to the OEM case with holes from samsung, but as more coverage on the corners) and the other day, the phone fell from my chest height to my tiled floor face down and "bam" goes the GORILLA! ..

eventually my replacement screen assembly is on the way from hong kong, for a very dear USD180... and now I ask you all folks, what is the best case for the i9100 ....

I have the 1G iphone with the speck rubber case and that thing is robust as in never had any issue inspite of numerous such drops.. but of course thats a thicker, smaller device with a bulkier rubber...

I am looking at

Another Otterbox fan

I got an Otterbox off Amazon for £14, I must say I'm really impressed with the quality, my only complaint is that there's no provision on the back for clipping it into any kind of dash mount, clip etc. If they were to do that and supply a variety of different mounts then they'd be onto a real winner IMHO
