Thanks for the nice review. IMHO the Case-Mate Box is probably better as the four corners of the SGS-2 are protected by the hardcase as well. The Otterbox seems to protected the corners only with the silicone parts.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Ploone:
You're welcome. Cheers!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AFAR85:
mmmm I might have too look out for those Trident cases when/if they hit the market.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dl1dby:
Indeed, those Trident cases look phenomenal. I hope they'll make the extremely tough cases for the SGS-2 as well one day, not only the already announced AEGIS.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] KennyLegend:
Hi..nice review. I just got the otterbox commuter series myself and to be honest I don't fancy it at all.

It adds great protection , but at the expense of feel, which I also think is important . The polycarbonate shell has a slippy feel and not grippy at all in my opinion. Its also shows up every fingerprint and attracts any oily residue from ur hands .

I also got a genuine Samsung mesh case which I prefer. Keeps the slim feel of the phone, feels grippy , looks great but then again protection is non-existent.

I suppose u can't have it everyway !
[Galaxy S II Accessories] poch_1421:
i also purchased the commuter series. i love the added protection.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] BatfinkUK1:
I love Otterbox cases and have used them before on my iPhones but the CaseMate tough has the poly cabonate shell around the corners not just silicone which I think will be more durable in the long run. It should also pick up less fluff. It's a shame the CaseMate doesn't have any port covers and its a little too grippy for easy sliding in and out of the pocket, but you cant have it all. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] poch_1421:
yeah, i also considered that casemate doesn't have covers for the ports
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sooby77:
I assume the Otterbox case won't fit with the Samsung original 2000mah extended battery?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Ploone:
Don't think it will, do you have any idea of how much thickness it adds? I might be able to estimate.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] poch_1421:
i recently installed a white SGP glas. i'm not sure how ploone did it, but how come my otterbox doesn't fit my phone?

the gap on the top front increased in size when i applied the case
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bearmonsta:
I have the case as well. I dont mind it doesn't feel slippy to me, has covered the buttons nice and snug, closes up both usb and sound ports and doesnt take away from the sleekness. On the negative side i had lots of trouble with the screen protector sheets, hate air bubbles. Also no screen knock protector sadly.

I, like a few others i see, search for something a little more full proof. Commuting to me involves 2 hours of bus and train travel to work or even 1 hour to the gym. I have to say if i were asked to point out the vitals i wanted protected most would definetely be the screen.

Had a look at the croco case (imitation alligator wallet/skin) might go with that but the wallet part doesnt really store loose change well. So yeah morale of the story not many suitable cases out there for labourers/accident prone people :(.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Ploone:
You may want to try the SGP Glas, no air bubbles when installing - quite thick so it offers more protection than others. On the downside, it affects the way the Commuter will fit.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sooby77:
I asked about this on the battery thread and was told that the thickness with the extended battery door is the thickness of the bottom antenna/speaker part.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] :
I can't picture it working in that case (no pun intended). The hard shell part of the Otterbox is precision built, it won't take much difference in thickness to throw that off; likely much less than the difference in thickness you describe. I can't picture the holes cut out in the hard shell that allow the volume/power buttons to protrude lining up at all.

-------------

My thoughts on the case:

As other have mentioned the silicone of the Defender is a dust magnet. I find the small flaps covering the charging and head phone ports invariably open every time I take the phone out of my pocket. It's not cereal box big, but it does increase the footprint of the phone substantially. If I see a Casemate in store, I may buy to feel the difference. It's a good case, with some minor annoyances.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sooby77:
I asked them to consider developing a version that fits the 2000mah battery. Don't know if they'll do.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] r.andom:
Great review. I have a black GT-i9100 w/ a Steinheil Ultra Crystal screen protector and the Otterbox commuter case; I don't have any issues with the silicone sticking up at the top so I suspect your issue might just be differences in manufacturing/quality control.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Xahl:
just grabbed this case, the guy in Hardly-Normals put on the screen protector and can confirm it's a bit average. Fingerprints are worse than the bare screen, and makes it more susceptible to glare. Will remove it when it annoys me enough, the screen is recessed far enough anyway. I also want to trim the top away, I don't understand why they felt the need to add the dust traps around the speaker and camera at the top.

Getting car dock and worried about it fitting (as in I'm bloody sure it won't), I feel some modification of the dock will be required... also a desktop dock so I don't catch the cable with my foot and launch the phone across the room when at my desktop. Yes this has happened. Ideally a Desktop dock that fits unmodified but not sure about that considering the noticeable bulk that is added with this case.

I love the case itself though, and the flaps covering the ports are growing on me. I did dislike them initially, but they sit flush and tucked away so no stress here. Might remove the USB one though for docking once the car dock turns up.

I actually think whoever made a decent case like this one, and accessories that work with it properly (like the oem docks do without a case) should make a killing.

Best Case I have used so far, on the third and happy enough with this one to keep using it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] samH4Sung:
if you read the forums there is a MASSIVE post on the 2000mah adds an extra 1mm thickness.

BUT the communter series otter box for the Galaxy SII is amazing so far. Had my phone drop a few times but it still works find and cracked screen free! But you must ALWAYS keep a grip on your phone bc the phone has a massive screen and you never know if it will fall on a and the screeen will get damaged so in truth JUST KEEP A GOD GRIP ON YOUR PHONE AND TAKE CARE OF IT LIKE ITS AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Xahl:
Still extremely happy with this case, more so now I have removed the screen protector!

Currently working on a Dock to suit the case for those interested.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] holdup:
i love the case, but it seems to affect call quality. When calling others or receiving calls there is a lotta interference on the line. Pretty sure it isnt a network problem because when I remove the case no such problem. Just wondering if its related to the the way it lines up around the second mic in the phone.

Any1 got any comments regarding this?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Xahl:
I haven't noticed anything yet. Will report if I do.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] speckledpig:
Is there a dock or charging stand that fits the device in this case?

I just got my Commuter case and really like it, but I failed miserably on the screen protector installation.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jeffrohurt:
Hey. Just out of curiousity, does anyone know if the Otterbox Defender from the Galaxy s2 Skyrocket would fit this phone? I like a little more protection on my phones than a commuter series case would provide. Everything looks the same outlet-wise so I can't see why it wouldn't fit but just hoping someone would be more knowledgeable in this respect.

Thanks. Jeff
[Galaxy S II Accessories] :
Nope, each is very precisely built for the application. The Commuter is fairly huge and offers a very high degree of protection already, it's a little too big for me so I'm saving it for when I travel.

[Continuum General] JoshRoss70:
I'm trying to root my Continuum, but I'm having a ridiculous amount of trouble.

I'm new to the android scene, and this is my first smartphone.

I was researching how to root it, and I decided I want to flash CMW on it.

I was using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1057072 for help, as well as http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-continuum/

I downloaded Odin, PDA'd the tar.md5 recovery, flashed it, and then put the update-i400.zip on my sdcard. I restarted my phone in recovery mode, and I was trying to install the update-i400.zip, and it won't let me. I've done both the tar.md5 and adryn's test4.tar, as well as renaming the .zip just 'update'

I'm lost, and need some help, please. I would've posted this in the development section, but being a noob, it won't let me. If anyone can help, that'd just be great.:)
[Continuum General] jakeschweinz:
Are you rooted? You have to have root access before you can do that stuff I believe, I could be wrong though.

good luck

[Continuum General] Bierce22:
yes super one click worked for me select universal mode then rage against the cage and then hit root it might hang for a minute but it should reboot then check to see if theres an app called super user. once you see that your rooted.

[Continuum General] nodixe:
I used SOC and after phone rebooted no SU app so did again (as per instr. on xda) rebooted and SU installed. Also for CwM Ive had best luck using odin3 1.3, adryns test4 tar, cwm 2.5 update zip, but I still had to use menu softkey to apply zip. Right now I can use rom manager app to boot into cwm, it says 2.5.1 but it has red text?

sent from my XDA phone - its more than a continuum
[Continuum General] Weudel:
You can flash the Odin ROM without root. That will root and install the proper kernel for you... then use CWM to flash whatever ROM you want to use.
[Continuum General] abby_nitewolf:
Or you can flash the complete odin package for 2.2 thats on the Continuum Development section.

Which will also make your device rooted

Sent via Carrier Pigeon
[Continuum General] pastorbennett:
You don't want to rename the rom zip. You have to use the Cyan CWM update.zip, which is here: http://www.4shared.com/file/cLdwKNsU/update.html

I don't know if the other links posted are for the same file, but that's the one that works with Froyo.

You must have the cwm update.zip on your flash card. When you start up in recovery, you'll need to select apply update.zip. Use the volume rocker to highlight update.zip, and tap the menu soft-key to select. Once in CWM, the power button is select, and the back soft-key is back. You'll want to select the menu option to install zip from sd card, select zip to install, and browse to where you saved the rom file.

If all else fails, I'll be uploading a super-clean debinged ROM in the next few days. Once it's up, just flash via Odin as you did with adrynalyn's cwm recovery image.

Hi All

I (stupidly) got overwhelmed the shininess of the new OTA update for my excellent HTC Sensation and went back to S-On to get it. Forgetting that in order to use Titanium Backup (excellent btw) I needed root access to my phone.

Does anyone know a way to restore from titanium without root access?

I freely admit to making a n00b mistake so if it's not possible then it's my own fault.
[HTC Sensation] DiZzle.:
No, titanium needs root to backup or restore apps.

Now, you can't. If temp-root is available for that update you could just temp-root it to restore your apps, and you wouldn't have to leave the new software.

Hi,

I have a strange behaviour on my SG 9000 (Darkys ROM 10.1). When I login to Paypal I need a security token, sent via SMS. Sometimes this SMS does not appear on my Smartphone. When I put the SIM card in another phone, it works. And sometimes a reboot of the SG also helps.

Since the SMS token from Paypal is a security feature I'm getting kind of nervous.

How can I see if an SMS is really received an - maybe - just not shown in the GUI? Could this be a trojan horse? Or just a misfunction? I'm not loosing any other SMS (however I'm not a heavy SMS user).

Bought this when I had my Nexus S, installed it yesterday and tried out a few of my old iso's. Amazing performance on the Vega.

I have uploaded a short video of it playing tekken 3 (one handed as had to hold the camera) and you can see that the in game performance is spot on. Loads of games work, most at full speed.

I forgot to turn the frame limiter on so the FMV at the start is too fast, normally much smoother than that !

I'm using an xbox 360 wired pad here, with the vega in usb host mode.

This is on the Corvus5 rom (sp1) and clocked at 1.4GHz

Well worth a purchase if you played much PSX in the past.

The funny part is that another modded update zip I made a few days ago worked perfectly fine. Any ideas guys? What does Status 6 mean? Why does it give me the tmp/sideload/package.zip thing? Do I need to go back to factory (PLEASE SAY I DONT :( )

EDIT: I think it was just that zip.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
According to AssassinsLament, the issue is probably your update-binary file (assuming you're already using edify: updater-script), which you can compile in AOSP or use the version AssassinsLament provides as the latest attached in his post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16409219&postcount=24

also, you can get a more detailed log in recovery, cat /tmp/recovery.log and pastebin that. with the more detailed recovery log, we will be able to determine more precisely the issue you're experiencing, but as a general solution, updating the update-binary file *should* work. if not, pastebin your /tmp/recovery.log.

hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
Thanks! That's exactly it!, I wasn't touching the update binary (i dont know how).

[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
Modded framework, sysui and a few other apks to the system partition.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Make sure you're not using Wordpad or anything like that to edit the updater-script. You need to use something that encodes the file with Unix encoding. Also, it shouldn't be the update-binary, you would get a sideload error. Check to make sure you're not missing a "," or ";" or little things like that somewhere. Also, if you open the file /cache/recovery/last_log when you reboot (or I think there is a /cache/recovery/recovery.log while you're in recovery [just cat that file]) it will tell you what the error is and the line location of any errors in your updater-script :)

Yeah I made sure it was in UTF 8, (using text wrangler). I'm gonna check the log right now.

This one doesnt give me a tmp/sideload/package.zip error, but when it finshes installing it doesn't really install. It wont give an error, but nothing happens.

http://dev-host.org/65j7ve7q0a2f/SupraMOD.zip
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
A few things... you don't even have an updater-binary. You NEED to have that. For the updater-script, you have:

ui_print("SupraROM v1.2.1 Upgrade-Beta");
show_progress(0.1, 0);
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p23", "/system");

show_progress(0.2, 0);package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
show_progress(0.3, 0);
unmount("/system");
show_progress(0.4, 0);
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p23", "/system");
show_progress(0.5, 0);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

unmount("/system");

ui_print("Done Flashing");

You are mounting and unmounting twice and trying to extract the same package. Also, show progress is a pain in the ass and I doubt the way you have it shows a progress bar. Do it like this:

ui_print("SupraROM v1.2.1 Upgrade-Beta");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
ui_print("");
ui_print("Installing files...");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system");
ui_print("");
ui_print("Done!");
unmount("/system");

And add in this updater-binary...
