oooh that looks pretty nice. I'm looking for a new case (just have a cheap silicone one right now), so let us know how it is!

Can't find the SGP Ultra Capsule Infinity White to buy online ;(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jimmy.77:
Hi there,

I just bought a Melcko leather case for my SGS2, this one .

Some days ago I see a nice MOMO Design line smartphone cases, but atm only for iPhone.

I'll hope for a Samsungs prods line: they seems beauty and functional.

copmatible case galaxy sé original 2000mah battery

I've got the S by Muzzano case till now.

I will buy the original 2000mah battery by samsung. The phone will get thicker so i wonder wich case will be ok for that type of battery
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Vansh1:
Ok, I hope that the packet will not take very much to arrive.

hey guys,

My new back cover - not quite a case, but I love it so thought I'd share.

Brushed aluminium.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jonny68:
Very nice brushed aluminium back cover i was outbid on eBay for one of these ill need to try and get one again but cant see them on eBay anymore, does anyone know anywhere else selling them?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chrisjcks:
This is the one i got:

Metal Back Battery Housing Cover Samsung Malaxy S2 II I9100 Black

Link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Metal-Bac...g-Malaxy-S2-II-I9100-Black-/190594168901?var=

Makes it a little thicker, and a little heavier.

More premium look though, i like it. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] antonyfl:
wonder what the brushed aluminum looks like with the white one :P
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 1xinfusion:
The ebay link item and the picture you provided are two different items!

Is the cover of the ebay link you sent actual metal? can you tell me a little more about this item? I am on the ebay page right now and if it is just painted plastic I will not buy this.

and just out of curiosity what case is that ? where did you get it and what is it called?

______________________________________________________________________________

this is off topic but... I wish someone put together on 1 post a brief summary of all the cases we have seen here, perhaps a gallery with links to the items. I wish I could do this but I do not have the time to. It would help out a lot :)

You do know how a compass works right?

Your quote is quite opposite from the truth. Screen = not much effect. Internal workings & compass = can be affected.

The inner pcb is mostly shielded but a strong enough field or magnetic induction can seriously mess things up.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] martincolclough:
YEa the brushed alum backs look amazing. Need to get me one of those!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] madkri:
I bought the Barely there case, it's alright, though i have a black sgs2, but i bought a white case so it doesnt look that good, a black case would be much better.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chrisjcks:
Thats the one i bought, and those are the pics ive shown for the one they sent me.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] martincolclough:
Yea I can't see it working as well with white
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Codename_Falcon:
chrisjcks can you take a photo of the phone from the side so I may see how thick it is?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chrisjcks:
No point, because its practically the same.

It is brushed aluminium inside a plastic border so it blends with the phone perfectly.

I feel it gives my SGS2 a nice premium and different look to others, so I'm very pleased with it.

The back just sticks out a little further than stock.

There is still a dip from the bottom of the phone down onto the battery cover, just not as much of a dip as with the stock back cover.

Ie. Official samsung mesh case will not fit now, as its molded to fit around stock battery cover then onto the sides for a tight fit. The slightly thicker battery cover stops it reaching one of the sides properly.

However, cases such as wrap-a-arounds such as tpu cases, should fit the same.

Edit: OK, I'll take some pics for you. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eranyanay:
well, The neo hybrid seems to be very sensitive to heat.

after I got a new rubber (sgp replaced it with a new one), I used my device for a few hours of 720p playback via MHL. it gets the device to heat up a little ...up to 40-42degrees.

By the time it finished playing, the rubber was very loose..after a while when it chilled a bit it got tighter, but i can feel it starting to get loose again.

any good, thick, good looking tpu case that will be more resistible?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] t00dy:
Very nice. One question, do you think it will fit with the extended original battery 2000 Maj?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] peachpuff:
In the ebay pics it looks like the whole cover is metal, the one that you have looks like a plastic cover with metal piece attached to it, think that's what 1xinfusion is talking about it being different.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Intercrew:
Was wondering if the Brushed aluminium back cover and the neo hybrid EX case from SGP will be a decent protection for the phone? I'm afraid the rubber of the neo hybrid (the one that covers the full back unlike the EX version) will either "melt" or get loose from the heat of the phone.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Garoto1973:
I have that one and believe me , its STUNNING, my wife says its makes her iphone 4 look like a piece of crap and in my opinion that is a good looking phone!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] keyzjh:
Decided to discard my SGP Neo Hybrid after the silicone back's sag is getting worse.

I think I'm going to go for the Incipio NGP since it fits like a glove, or the Nillkin Soft TPU Case which is 1/3 the price of the incipio.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eranyanay:
the incipio isnt as pretty as the neo hybrid :|

Im thinking of maybe using the neo hybrid ex to solve the rubber-melting-issue.

I dont see how that slim rubber is going to protect it from hits, so why bother? at the worst, a replacement (genuine) cover costs 5-6$.

the back rubber doesnt protect a thing, not even the camera..so i get the feeling its uselesss...whats really important is a good protection for the corners of the phone

edit: I also heard around that the incipio's buttons arent as easy to press as in the neo hybrid
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chrisjcks:
You know the neo hybrid has a hole on the corner right?

To me - its just stupid that ppl with the international SGS2, would even think of using a case that doesnt even protect a corner. (plus, with the hole - it just looks ugly as hell)

Ive also heard it doesnt fit the international version properly, loads of people complain about it being loose.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] trixnix:
Downside of a sgp hybrid neo ex? Anyone? Planning to buy one.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Accessories] keyzjh:
Yeah, learned my lesson the hard way. Pretty much ruled out purchase of casings that is made to fit the Korean SGS2. The 1mm or so extra at the back DOES make any of those casings feel loose.

On another note, how come the Incipio NGP for AT&T GS2 has an additional screen protector for the same price, but the international version only has the casing itself?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eranyanay:
I admit, the hole is a con...but its ok, I can handle with it...and saying it doesnt protect - well, i was afraid at start, but it still has a lip around it from the case and it wont get hit so easily, maybe with something sharp enough to hit only the corner.

about the korean vs. international, well, there's no difference at start and it fits excellent, not even a bit loose..the problem is, that after the device heats up sometimes, and for me it happens for kind of long periods (when using MHL it warms up a little), then you can see the big downside of the sgp rubber, it gets very loose when exposed to heat.

unfortunetaly, i dont see in the horizon any other case which is both beautiful, slim and protective so far.

edit: any TPU cases available similar to sgp neohybrid?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eranyanay:
I found this case called Rearth Ringke. seems pretty nice, a silicone + tpu material.

Has anyone used it for a while enough to see if it gets loose? has anyone had the phone up to 40degrees sometimes (when playing MHL for example) and sees any difference with the cover tightness?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] adamski123:
I just got the zenus skin air jacket season 2 red/ white its pretty gd :) keeps the phone thin and good looking whilst adding protection.

I got the Case Mate Pop.. Awesome case. It gives the phone the needed siZe and grip for best handling. Also protection.

Straight from my SGS2 using XDA
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eranyanay:
indeed, it gives amazing size and grip.

but its HUGE! I had it for a short while and its just like taking 2galaxy's and stick them together.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] t00dy:
it sure looks very bad :D

after seeing film Rare Exports, i will never look at the Father christmas with the same eyes :/ :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] superleeds27:
Anyone know of any cases that really keep the thiness of the phone, and just a dd a little protection?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] keyzjh:
Definitely the Case-mate Barely There cases. These are available in aluminium variants as well
[Galaxy S II Accessories] superleeds27:
The Case mate barely there just looks like the SGP Silke i have.

I can still tell its a good couple of mm to the phone.

Ive started another thread with super slim cases ive found this morning :)

Ive took a gamble on one at £4.95. Looks half decent ;)

[Galaxy S II Accessories] zarboga:
nice.. but most of the shop i found is out of stock for yellow case
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Intercrew:
I'm still hesitant of either getting sgp neo hybrid as i've read and seen the rubber mold completely destroyed and turning into a really stretched out rubber that the case wont even tightly cover the phone after couple of uses.

Was wondering if anyone has these and can give some feedbacks, or if you can just find something off it by just looking at it.

http://www.more-thing.com/en/galaxy-s-ii/handwoven-ultra-clear-for-samsung-galaxy-s2.html

and of course neo hybrid sgp

I'm looking for something that will be shock aborbant, so if I drop it, will have least amount of chance of breaking the screen. So basically not looking for a full out plastic case as I don't see the use of them at all.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mr mystery:
Have you looked at the case mate pop?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] snitchy:
I brought myself a SGP linear case after my neo hybrid sagged too much.

I'm actually pretty happy with it. I accidently dropped my phone about waist height. Phone was fine. Case is a lil bit scratched. Few ppl worry that the case will snap open if the phone is dropped, but the case stayed intact.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] keyzjh:
If you want more protection, definitely go for the Otterbox Commuter or the Case Mate Tough, both are great for shock absorption, but thinness will be sacrificed
[Galaxy S II Accessories] whmcal:
Took a silver Casemate Barely There on holiday with me, as the Casemate Tough felt a bit too bulky. Phone accidentally fell several times onto ceramic tiles from bedside table, bed etc. The top corner of the case eventually cracked, but phone was untouched. Despite inconvenience of having to get a new case when back from hols, this thin barely there case did the job. I would recommend it as a good case for protection.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Intercrew:
How much bulk does the case mate pop add?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] manmad:
i think im going to buy the case mate pop.

Why?

i first wanted the otterbox commuter for the protection, but now im looking for a case that can be put on and off very fast because my gf is buying me a docking station. And the only case i can think of that looks good, has full protection and can easily be removed is the pop-case.

The case is alot bigger though, i think its one of the biggest cases out there at this moment... Its a little bit bigger than the otterbox, but the stand is also very handy!

Here are some nice screenshots:

http://samsunggalaxysforums.com/showthread.php/5955-Case-Mate-POP!-The-case-with-a-stand

I think im going to get the black one though.

Also going to try on of these in black
[Galaxy S II Accessories] JJAmazing:
The Incipio NGP is hands down the best case (for me anyway :))!

SGP Neo Hybrid is too flimsy and "cheap" for such a high price or maybe I just got the bad end of the batch.

CaseMate Pop looks good on paper, but is annoyingly bulky and so effing hard to get on and off.

Cheap TPU cases, well, meh..

Incipio is the perfect combination of protection, good looks and just enough bulk and quality that you need to feel your phone safe ;)!

My 2 cents though..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] manmad:
How easy is it to remove the phone from the case? I got a docking station, so i wonder if i can remove the phone easily every day? I can only find reviews that click the phone inside the case, and non that also remove it...

And do you think that the case might get broken if you remove it every evening?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] keyzjh:
Your post pretty much settles it for me. Incipio NGP it is :)

The Neo does feel cheap...but for its price you do get a high quality Ultra Crystal screen protector.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] JJAmazing:
It is fairly easy. Its not like the soft silicone cases but once you perfect the technique i would say it comes off easily.

Might get broken? hmm cant really say about that. Mine has just stayed on and I have only took it off occasionally. The material of the case is pretty sturdy but yet flexible so i think it would be just fine to take it off daily.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] keyzjh:
Is there any deformation from removing and putting it back on? Around the screen borders or camera area probably?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] JJAmazing:
In my case, none. But as I said mine has not been taken of repeatedly. I still think that the case is pretty flexible and goes back to its original form pretty easily when twisted. It just feels like a quality case throughout.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] joshua1982:
Case

I seem to have the same very cheap case. I like the look of it and how it feels in the hand. Have one concern though - becase the material is a bit tough the buttons are a bit more difficult to press and makes me feel worried about damaging them sooner than usual.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Intercrew:
What's the above called? And is it a plastic case or a hybrid rubber/plastic?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] SGS-II:
It's called a S-Line case. It's a TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethane) material, which feels plastic but has the flexibility similar to that of silicone which is an advantage because it doesn't melt and become sticky overtime due to exposure to UV light from the sun.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] colatehjorth:
Just ordered SGP Ultra Capsule, anybody have any experiences with it? :)

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Degu:
How are the cut-outs on the NGP? I've noticed on the review videos that the speaker hole is not well aligned -- at least for the black international version. :confused:

Care to post feedback?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nicregi:
For me, I would suggest OtterBox which I find that very protective :) SGP Silke is a good choice for slim-ness.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] keyzjh:
The holes are not perfectly aligned as it is made to be larger than the speaker outlet. There would be no blockage of any holes, so no worries :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Degu:
Great thanks for the feedback. About the material, does it fade? I'm currently using a silicone case by Belkin and the black coating on the corners is starting to peel. :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] keyzjh:
Pretty sure there is no fading of any kind. The surface texture of the incipio is smooth matte and the case feels almost like a hard case, except that it's flexible.

Besides, being resistant to "stickiness" is one of the features of NGP.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AFAR85:
Anyone looking into the Trident Kraken AMS cases?

http://www.tridentcase.eu/lang-en/s...r-galaxy-sii-i9100-sgh-i777-with-holster.html

Looks like it should be released soon according to their Facebook page.

Just a shame that at the price they go for they don't come with an inbuilt screen protector to keep dust/oils/water away from the screen.

I'd buy one on day 1 if they did come with one, but now I think i'll just sit on the fence and think about it =/.

Have really been wanting a full rugged case since I've owned this phone (on release).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bachot:
I bought some "official" galaxy s2 case from ebay, it was made and shipped from korea.

It was only 5$!

I realy love it, it has hundreds of holes in it for ventilation and it's realy slim.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] RDDraco:
I use the bareley there case.

Let my phone several times fall and screen still in 1 piece so i prefer this one.

Mesh case looks nice too just because of the holes in it for heat losing
[Galaxy S II Accessories] imlgl:
I'm using the Case mate barely there with the brushed aluminium back. Looks very sleek and doesn't take anything away from the looks. I think it makes it look better :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Ashan85:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] sp3llv3xit:
Cygnett

I have. I like it after 3 weeks. The case seems to favor a bit of breaking into. The plastic has become less slippery.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Xaltotun:
There are so many forum members here that say their SGP cases started cracking, fading, chipping, etc. after a few weeks use, that I decided I did not want an SGP case for now. From what I read here, the SGP products mostly are for customizing the look and feel of the phone (the red Neo Hybrid looks awesome with the aluminum battery doors), but are not much protection (except maybe the Capsule series)..... :confused:

So, in order to protect my phone I went and bought an Otterbox Commuter with some eBay points I had (and that I had to spend before they would disappear); I had a Commuter on my Captivate, and I can safely say that it is a tank, while not adding that much bulk (in fact, it would help me grip it better, as too thin is kind of awkward to manipulate). Also, that case saved my phone's ass two or three times, when the phone hit the ground while coming out of the car.

The only problem is that my phone is white, and the Otterbox is, well, black.

I also went ahead and bought a semi translucent case on DealExtreme; very very cheap, but some people seem to have found it excellent. Sometimes, you really should not judge by the price. Here: http://bit.ly/A2jSBs

[Galaxy S II Accessories] buxz777:
ive always quite liked the sgp neo hybrid cases , however i tried the incipio ngp case today and i have to say i think it may replace my sgp hybrid as my daily case.

i absoloutley love the materials used and incipio have nailed it in that department , its lovely to touch , doesnt attract pocket fluff , looks smart , is anti fingerprint and is generally just a great material

it can be twisted and bent and it always go's back to its original shape which is great stuff

it fits the phone great , even with the 2000mah battery and back cover which is a bonus

really impressed with it actually

only one slight gripe and that is my nokia charger doesnt fit this case , the oem samsung one does but my nokia usb charger doesnt which is a bit of a shame however the cas pops off easy for swapping chargers and placing in docks etc

great case
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rchard:
Avoid buying case mate pop. It adds so much bulk as if disolving the phone. Plus its so hard to take the phone out.

I have tried different cases but hands down for NGP incipio. Just my preference but i can gurantee once u try it u will love it. The material feels good, its durable and very nice design. Only downsides are slightly hard to press the buttons and cut for the battery is not precise. Other than that its an excellent cover.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Nurra:
I've got this in black. It adds more Than twist the thickness of the original. Now I'm using a flip case.
