[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rpolito73:
I have to say yes... I'll take measurement tmrw but the corners are thicker than all of it. Its still not bad. Fits in my pocket n like how it feels in my hand ... I like the texture of back compared to the d3o.

To be fair, the rubber corners will pick up lint just like vibrant otter box. This thing is maximum protection...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hmata01:
i agree, i like the idea of the full protection but this case makes to phone wayyy to bulky, i feel like im carrying around one of those old ass phones that looked like bricks. haha
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeb85:
Case looks pretty bad ass but I think it would be too big and like u said more like a brick thanks for the review op. Appreciate itit
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mdashoot:
Thanks, got one on order. This will be my 4th and hopefully final case for this phone, I am a fan of otterbox so I think I will like it. I started with the black bodyglove from tmobile, not a bad case but a pain in the ass to take of so I got one of the clear TPU cases from ebay and its a great case. And then the D30 came out so I exchanged the bodyglove for it, had to take it back because it fit like crap, the next one fit 95% better but is still uneven around the edges and for a $25.00 piece of rubber it should be perfect like the $7.00 one from ebay.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kid Poker:
The first D30 that I got was from T-Mobile. That one fit perfectly, just didn't like the way how the button press felt. So then I also got a TPU case from eBay. Next thing T-Mobile gave out the cases so I picked it up, returned the original one I bought at T-Mobile store, but then the one I got from T-Mobile online, it fit 95% and was bubbling up my Realook. I was hoping for a Seidio case to come first but since I've heard good things about Ballistic case, I gave it a shot. Waiting for it to come in the mail now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mdashoot:
Oh yeah, that was the other thing, the buttons. Volume not too bad, power button was a PITA on the D30.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mdashoot:
Got the case today and its awesome.

Ballistic case SGH-T989

I got one from ebay on the 3rd for $29.99, it is a little bulky, like a couple of you all have been saying, but, worth it for the protection. I had an otterbox for my galaxy S, ballistic's seems to be a step up. I'd recommend it for sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] justice26:
If there any clips for them?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] roth.7:
I didn't see options for clips...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rpolito73:
No
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mccandless1:
I just got the Ballistic case for my T989 (Galaxy S2X in Canada). It fits perfectly and looks great. I like how it adds some width, makes the phone easier to hold for gaming and taking pictures.

By far the best case i have found yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yahtrickyah:
Just got mine in. Must say, I'm very impressed. Looks great, adds a little bulk but makes it feel solid in the hand. Most importantly, the volume rocker and power buttons have awesome response, and you can even hear the "click" of the power button everytime you press it (which is a big difference than my cheapo-ebay TPU case). I have a Realook screen protector on it and no issues. It doesn't seem like it'll cause any problems at all in the future either, since the silicone fits over the top of it, and not sitting right on the edge.

Also, it's very solid and tight; the silicone isn't loose at the top and bottom like some other hybrid (silicone/plastic) cases. One of the only cons I can think of is that the silicone may attract some lint/dust, and some traction going in/out of the pocket. But it's totally worth it for the protection.

Overall very satisfied with my purchase (ebay seller). I like it better than the Case-Mate Tough... although I only used that on my Sensation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tonten:
Just got this case today.

I am amazed.

I would think that with this sort of case, it would add a lot of bulk to it, but for me, it is not that much of a difference.

My first smart phone was an omnia, and the case I had for it was crappy and cheap, and is nowhere comparable to this case for the Samsung.

Even with the case on, I feel this phone is quite light.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aqualadb03:
Guys should i get this case? im kinda undecided... like i realy would like a otterbox or trident... but there taking so long...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yahtrickyah:
Very comparable to otterbox and trident... if you're okay with the looks of the ballistic, then you def won't regret your purchase. I love my case
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
Got mine, and love it. Love the grip and solid feel, and the extra weight. Something about the way cases make the phone bigger make the screen look better to me also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manfly9884:
Hi guys. Just ordered the case through e-bay. Thanks for the review and comments.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Daddio06:
does this case come with a built in screen protector like the otterbox defenders?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rpolito73:
No. It is open faced.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Daddio06:
Damn, i'm really looking for something that has the nice thick screen protector. It saved my iPhone so many times.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] htsu:
I got this case and have been using it for 3 days now. I like it a lot. I have a habit of not only dropping my phone but with some incredible :) force also. It does add some bulk to the phone but I think it's needed. I was on my friends terrace before I got this case and all I can think about was how the phone is going to slip out of my hand any second and land in a million pieces 15 stories down. Now I won't have that worry any more.

I also left the Zagg full coverage shield that I put on when I first got the phone and it doesn't cause any problems. Phone fits fine with it on.

One final thing, the case makes the side buttons so much better. You can really feel the buttons being pressed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Monk4Life:
So far this case has been awesome. I have accidently dropped the phone twice and gasped each time but not a single nick scratch or nothing and I have read about other people dropping the phone from a few feet and shattering the display.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sixfoot7:
I've had the case for a few days now, and the only thing that I could do without is the extra dust/lint it seems to collect due to the material it's made out of. That is simply so minor it's barely worth mentioning. Here is what I'm impressed with so far:

-the positive feel of the volume and power buttons. Didn't really have a hard time with the volume, but I did manage to either miss or not depress the power button enough because of an "off-center" press. No missing at all now.

-the case gives it just that extra bit of grippiness I needed to text one-handed/thumbed in landscape using Swype

-The protection that the camera lens gets from being recessed so deep. I wasn't concerned so much about scratches, but I covered it with plenty of fingerprints and smudges before the case. Haven't had to clean it before a picture since.

-the cutouts for the speaker, Micro USB, headphones, and microphones are dead on, and sized just right.

So I'll take it apart and clean it, and wipe down the phone every 2-3 days, because I've seen enough of my phones get micro scratches from leaving in the case too long without cleaning. Just like a front end car bra, same thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Monk4Life:
Update has been added to the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yahtrickyah:
http://stores.ebay.com/hc-power/Sam...d=980033899&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1513&_pgn=1

This seller (as seen in OP) has a bunch of generic Ballistic cases in a bunch of different colors!

The white one is nice... but so is the red one... and the blue one :P

I'm convinced that this is the best quality case out there so far (including the Trident Aegis, Incipio). The Trident doesn't have the plastic part that covers the bottom so it'll be loose, the Incipio has flimsy (loose) sides. The Seidio Case looks nice however.

Also this seller has a bunch of other style cases such as a (cool looking) kickstand case, and another type of generic hybrid case where it's silicone on top of a hard shell instead of the other way around....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
Just wondering, why does anyone want to buy a HUGE case? I don't understand what drives people to buy big cases. If I had a choice I would have no cases what so ever.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kabuk1:
I can't speak for everyone, but I like big phones. They're easier to hold & use, so a case that makes it a bit bigger(while adding extra protection) is only a plus in my eyes. I have a purse to keep my gadgets in, but I can see how someone with only pockets for storage would want a sleeker case though.

That said, my Ballistic case should be here tomorrow. Eeeeek I'm excited :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
That makes sense. I prefer the thinner the better because I have to shove that thing in my pocket, plus phone design is a huge preference for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] seshsud:
Wow

Amazing, selling at 1/2 price....does this include both the layers?

EDIT: SO the Ebay case isn't quite the ballistic case eh? Anybody gotten the ebay version can comment?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SpydaPig:
Just finally got this case today. I'm really impressed on the quality and look of this case. IMO I think this is the best case i've ever gotten for the SGS2. It offers a lot of protection and not as bulky as I thought it would be. Fits right in my pocket perfectly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manfly9884:
I've mine for over a month and don't have any complaints. On the contrary, I highly recommend it and this is coming from a guy that works in the construction field where protection is all that counts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ocedion:
the pink and black is now available, I'm thinking about getting it to go with my white gs2. I'm tired of the whole black thing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] savagepagan:
I've had mine for a month or so and I love it. It is this slim enough so that I can carry it in my front pocket.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] granduke:
I received a Ballistic clone from eBay.

Works great. The bulk is not bad and the corners don't snag my pockets as I feared. Nice feel and good value for $12.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] metehan777:
As microprocessors company, VIA Technologies from Taiwan launched the VIA WM8505 few year ago, thanks to the tablet pc market is rapidly extend, The WM8505 shipments are more than 400 million units.

Currently, VIA was announced the new chip WM8650, it’s also a 65nm CPU. VIA uses the same as MediaTek turn-key mode, they provide completed hardware core board and software to tablet pc manufacturers. ARM cores Processors

What the VIA has claimed is that the WM8650 has the ability to run on Android 2.2 and CE7.0, support Flash 10.1 and decode 720p videos. And the WM8650 is a chip that based on ARM11 inner core with a overlock on 800MHz, though officially information is 600MHz.

VIA’s WM8650 may just be the shot in the arm they need in the tablet/MID market, Compete to the Rockchip 2818 ‘flagship’. The WM8650 is supposed to rebound from that rather pronounced defeat, promising Android 2.1 and compete with the RK2818 / TCC8902. Where VIA may hope to compete is price, but that is just my speculation. Either way, the only “confirmed” specs of the WM8650 is that it will be clocked at or around 600MHz again, and that it should do 720p, the main features of wm8650 as following,

1) 800MHz CPU.

2) Android 2.2 OS with new fresh UI and interface.

3) Affable price, the cost is the lowwest in the tablet pc market.

4) To give out more heat than normal tablets when it is working

5) Supports AVI format up tp 720P video, does not support RMVB. (it is still being debugged)

6) Flash 10 playback.

7) Supports HTML5 video online

The WM8650 technology is the same as WM8505, but the frequency is higher, and the efficiency of Floating-Point calculation is 45% increase and power consumer is 20% lower than VIA VM8505, so we believe the new VIA WM8650 will be popular in the near future.

I just download a new app ib the Market that totally blow my mind of and is the fact that, alpha yet, is a amazing copy of Siri and does almost everything like Siri ... it call, text, search google and talk with me perfectly amazing, do you guys know about that app?

My friend unleashed Siri on me for the first time with his iPhone to show it off. The overall functionality of that program blew my mind the way its able to understand questions and commands in so many different ways and perform its actions... I started looking into an Android alternative, and let me tell you, we got a lot of catching up to do... I tried Iris, and its OK but its laggy and only understands simple commands.... Speaktoit on the otherhand, was way more functional with added features that Siri lacks and has so much potential.... play with it and post your opinions, I'm just glad that the devs jumped on this early and are doing an awesome job with what they've put out... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK LADIES AND GENTS!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
I haven't tried speaktoit but I will, but Iris I fond kind of amusing with its sarcastic remarks. My wife asked me to ASK THE PHONE IF SHE WILL MARRY YOU so I did. (My wife has issues with me on the phone tweaking it all the time) and Iris came back with, WE WILL HAVE TO DATE FIRST. My wife about died.

I think it can and will be an amazing app, not bad that the giluy came up with a semi working model of it after ONLY 8 hours. So I would say it is safe to assume he will make it work even better. Now to test out speaktoit.

Hi:

Speaktoit seems awesome. I liked it better than Iris.

I was wondering is there a way to change to a male voice?

I see it gives the options of Pico TTS, or Samsung TTS, but they both sound similar.

How can I add new voices?

Thanks so much!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
SVOX is what you're looking for. There may be free apps, but it's worked great for me. Each voice comes with a free two week trial.

SVOX, I had bought Micheal voice and is pretty cool... I am impressed with Speaktoit, I have now a Male avatar and is very smart it update my facebook status without typing or pressing anything... just great
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] retnuh:
You might want to also look at "Eva Intern". Right now I have Vlingo, Speaktoit, and Eva Intern on my phone. Looked at Iris. Don't remember why I uninstalled it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dungeon47:
I prefer straight up Voice Actions. Having it talk back to me is cute and all, but ultimately it just adds time to getting things done. Once the novelty wears off, it's just a nuisance IMO.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SPIDERTECH:
I tried Eva....insanely annoying. It wouldn't just read out the text messages that came in, it interrupted anything else I was doing at the time to go full screen and read the message. When I backed out of it it would just go back to the home screen. Even when I told it to exit, it would start back up again. I uninstalled it soon after I began to get annoyed with it.

I currently have Speaktoit, Vlingo Personal Assistant, Iris, and Skyvi.

Speaktoit is pretty decent especially after the last update. Their word filter was so strong you couldn't even ask for information on something if it had what it considered a "bad word" in the name. I did notice that when I give it a name, it doesn't seem to stay set for long. It keeps going back to Sam. It's still pretty sweet though.

Vlingo is pretty nice. I'm thinking I like the app from the market better than the one made for the GSII that came with the phone. I like how it doesn't just read out the responses to you, but lets you choose for it to read them back or not. The voice is also more "natural" than others.

Iris has a long way to go, but looks to be on the right track. I don't like how it repeats what you ask it and then takes longer than it really should to respond to you. The quirky responses are pretty funny at times.

Skyvi is one I haven't really heard people mention, but I found it in the market and gave it a shot. I like how you can connect to facebook and twitter and then interact with those services from the app. You can have it read your news updates from facebook, your own wall, or other friends' walls. You can also have it read your twitter feed out loud to you. This is among the other typical voice commands most of the others have. I haven't seen any others that will read your facebook and twitter feeds to you though.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
Well, if the phone its locked to AT&T then you call AT&T. There is no way to unlock now though from what I understand unless of course AT&T can for you. This its why you should NEVER just guess at the unlock coffee and instead call the company you bought the phone from or get an unlock code online for less then $20 usually.

To check root install an app that needs root (root explorer works, as does any other asp that says needs root)

I was flashing CF-ROOT, but I made a mistake and flashed it to PHONE instead of PDA, screwing up the modem stuff. I found a way to fix it without flashing the whole thing and I want to tell you guys.

If this happens to you, you can fix it doing the following.

1) Go to Download Mode (adb reboot download or the three-key boot).

2) Extract the .tar.md5 file of the firmware that has the modem you want to flash to your device. Use 7zip, if it gives you a md5 error, it's OK.

3) Look for the modem.bin file. Copy it somewhere, for example the Desktop.

4) Open Odin, click on the PHONE button, and go to the place you copied the modem.bin file.

5) Odin will not list it as it does not has .tar.md5 or .tar extension. Just type modem.bin in the File name field and press Enter and Odin will swallow it.

6) Select Auto Reboot only. Click on Start. Enjoy.

7) Press the THANKS button down there.

Any clues?
