Actually, if you look closely, you will see it wraps all four corners so if there were a fall it will impact the case not the phone, it also sticks out a MM from the screen all the way around. Now that's if it falls on a flat surface... if it falls while your climbing over a fence, rock climbing or something else to that nature it may be possible ... although, I don't climp over fences very often so I think ill be safe... they have designed it so that no matter how it falls (on a flat surface) it wont impact the phone. I'm not a rock climber or master thief, just a business man. I'm not in Iraq (never again anyway) so for the most part, a minimal case like this suits my needs perfectly. As stated before, some people like their phones bullet proof, I prefer mine sexy and slim. To each his own.

A bit expensive though. I got a all black D3O Dual on ebay $15 shipped. I did have to search a bit though....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonnythrice:
I just got the black on black SILICRYLIC case from Incipio...I like it! I prefer to have the soft inner case with the hard shell...a little more protection.

It fits great, looks good and isnt too bulky. Its black silicone rubber, with a black plastic outer casing. The black plastic is smooth and shiny on the inside, and has that soft, rubbery/mat texture on the outside.

Only downside I see with it is that because of its mat finish, it will pick up dust, pocket lint etc quite easily.

The buttons work great, are easy to press and easy to find. The openings for the ports and large enough and unobtrusive as well.

Good buy! *thumbs up*

Has anyone had trouble fitting the feather case on their phone? I just received the grey feather case and it just won't snap into place. seems like the case is too small for the phone and any movement with the case it will pop right off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Slide the volume rocker side in 1st then I use my fingernail and put it in the slot for the power button, then i slide it over and then press the right top and bottom of the corners firmly in the case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daddymatt:
Its not going to "snap". There will be no sound or click feeling. It just squeezes in... when its even on both sides, 1mm out from the screen, and there's no gap on the back where the camera hole is, its on.

Sent from my Beastly SGS2!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Also there will be no gap between the phone and case by the volume rocker and power button. I usually look at those and the camera hole to make sure its all the way on.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tekk83:
Yeah no matter how I try to squeeze the phone into the case. There is always a gap between the phone and case and if I try to squeeze it in some more the case will pop right off. Are you guys having a snug fit or does it feel like the case is too small for the phone? When I get it on and look at the power button slot I can definitely see a gap. Any adjustments and the phone case comes off completely.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daddymatt:
No gap on mine bro... not at all. Nice snug fit. Maybe you got a bunk unit? Swap it out.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Check the pad on the inside of the case. It may not be applied correctly from the manufacturer. It should sit in a grove. If not, you'll notice it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daddymatt:
That's strange... must have been a bad batch slip through... I ordered mine day 1 and it was good... other people ordering now and their good... must have been mixed together or something. You guys should send them back and get new ones... that panel inside is what gives this case the small amount of impact protection it has... it absorbs shock.

Excellent product, can vouch for it. I picked oneup couple days ago solid build.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mansquared:
just received the black and blue ones. both fit nice.

i f'd up both of the screen protectors...i suck at applying them so going naked for now.

The panel inside is for protection??? WOW what a joke...

protection wise i prefer my soft tpu case for $5. but this one is maximum points for style...:cool::cool::D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kawaisa:
It's the best minimalist case I've seen for this phone and it's just enough protection for me not to go crazy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tenderidol:
Same here! :mad:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mobilesuit818:
I dont know about these cases. I purchased a black one with a invisible maximum and I dropped my phone and it literally bounced once, and then all the pieces split on the 2nd thump.

Laying on the ground was the case, battery cover, battery and phone (now with a scratch side...

super fail!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tenderidol:
I picked up a black Incipio Feather Case from Fry's this evening. What a sexy case! Yes, it leaves top and the bottom parts of the phone exposed, but did I mention that it looks awsome :D

I wish I could say the same thing for the screen protector, though. It was easy to apply and didn't have any bubbles, dust, etc under it, but it looks just "muddy/oily", especially when the phone is off. As reported here, there are waves on it from top to bottom. I'll keep it until the SGP screen protector is delivered.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mansquared:
IMO the level of protection you can expect from this case:

For when you place it on a table

From your Nasty hands

If it drops you're F'd.

Sexy points are 100000000

do they make cases with a leash
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] umarali:
can anyone please take off back cover and then put it on and see if it fits because i lost my original back of phone. if someone can please confirm so i can order one too.

thanks in advance...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kawaisa:
yes, it fits without the back cover, no wiggle room,

ignore the dust
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] umarali:
reallly appreciate ur reply... mine is on way now...:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jwerb:
This is actually proof of concept that it worked. The energy absorbed from the drop is dissipated throughout the parts flying off your phone.

Counter Example:

Drop a iPhone 4 and it is almost certain to shatter because it has no removable parts. Impact energy can only be absorbed by one piece.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tenderidol:
If you are collecting that much dust on the phone, I wouldn't want to have that case without the back cover. There are openings in the case that will let dust, etc inside the phone.

Today, I received a blue one from Incipio and similar to the reports here, there is something wrong with the one I received. No matter what I try, it just doesn't fit (one side always pops out). To the contrary, the black one I have fits perfectly without any effort. Needless to say, the blue one is going back. I'll just stick with the black.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kawaisa:
Mine fits perfectly with or without the back cover, like a glove.

I'm not using it without the back cover, that was just to show umarali that it would fit.

My GS2 hasn't been getting much use, thus the dust.

But the blue case makes it a good looking paper weight until I finish testing a few other phones.

I would love to see the feather type case with a kickstand. #mydreamcase
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Gonz7711:
I bought one of these on cyber monday. Half price 12.49 I cannot reccomend it at any price. It does not fit right. I am always adjusting it to try and get it to stay on. I often struggle with trying to press the power button to wake the phone. The "case" slides back and rests on the power button making it hard to push the power button. This case does nothing to protect anything on your phone but the sides of the bezel. I dropped my phone and now have a nice gash on the bottom of my phone. The case popped off and did nothing to save my phone. Please buy a case that at least covers the exterior of your phone and adds a few millimeters of height if your phone is face down so it does not rest on the screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tenderidol:
All your problems are coming from an imperfect fit. I tried 2 of these cases, one fits perfectly while the other one was similar to what you described. When fit correctly, there should not be any movement, sliding,etc. In addition, the case DOES provide 1mm all around the screen and if you lay it flat, the screen doesn't touch a flat surface.

If you still want to give it a try, you should contact Incipio to get a replacement.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raazman:
Hey guys, I got the feather case from Incipio and was disappointed that the buttons didn't match up correctly and it was a bit off for a good fit. So I went on ebay and bought this: www(dot)ebay.com/itm/360415139534?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1373wt_905. The button holes are a lot better and the case feels a bit better. You guys should try it out. I would not recommend the Incipio one but I would for the one I linked. Just my 2 cents.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tenderidol:
Are you sure you ordered the right SII case for your phone? The buttons align perfectly with the case as shown in the pictures posted in this thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raazman:
I mean my phone does fit into the case and the buttons fit in the holes. I made sure I have the correct case as well. It's just that the buttons are too close to the case's edge that it becomes a but more difficult to press.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tenderidol:
Today, I received the SGP Steinheil Ultra Series [Ultra Crystal] screen protector. Once I removed the Incipio protector and applied the SGP, the difference was day and night! Highly recommended.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kawaisa:
The case does surround the camera like any other case, no contact between the table and the lens is made with the case on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hipfarer:
Also got one on Cyber Monday, although mine fits perfectly. Way better then the cheap one I got from Ebay. Works better then the one I had for my iphone from awhile back, as it doesn't let any dust/dirt in between case.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] seamus24:
Disappointed. Ordered the grey one and did not fit. Even tried with back cover off. Never "clicked" into place. To the company's credit they sent me a second one, this time in black... slightly better fit but still not great. Can't snap into place permanently. Phone is always looking to escape from case. It does work if the back cover is removed, but I feel the protection is then minimal for a drop. I honestly can't recommend this and am looking for a new lightweight snap-on cover.

Customer Service - Excellent,

Product Quality - Super Fail
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] donovanc.williams:
The fit seems to be pretty hit and miss. I ordered one before finding this thread so the inconsistency is worrying me a little (a lot). Hopefully I'll be one of the lucky ones, will update once I get the case.

UPDATE: So I got mine and it seems to fit well enough. There isn't that satisfying "snap" to let you know it is on all the way but mine hasn't slipped off or anything. Based off of the case I got I would recommend it, although the inconsistencies are still a little unsettling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ebatr8:
Does anyone know some tricks or something to make this fit? It seems one side will go but not the other if i make it fit it slips n one side ends up covering the buttons a bit making them hard to press it also feels like its not in place to stay on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kawaisa:
Incipio has obvious QC issues with this case. Either it fits perfectly or it will keep popping out. Mentioned in this video Youtube

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MMakoto:
For all of you that have this case, if u lay the phone down, USB/mic portion facing down, does the phone or case touch the table? I put my phone on my cup holder a lot, so I need some bottom protection.

Also, is it only the Grey one that has the fitment problem as mentioned by daydeal in that YouTube video.

Sweet deal @ fry's

Was shopping at Fry's electronic store, and stumbled upon a this case but the screen protector portion of the was missing. they were selling it for only .99 cents. I could not believe they took off the $24 because the screen protector was gone. Anyhow, love the sheer look and feel this case gives me. Anybody drop their phone in this case? Does it stay on, when dropped? Thanks in advance. Jahman

dropped mine a week ago onto a hard surface, stayed on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sddale2001:
If it sits in your cup holder leaning towards its back it might give a little protection but if it leans forward part of that chrome band will touch.

This case really only provides minimal protection. I wouldn't count on it staying on if it's dropped. My phone slipped out of my hand and landed on it's side on soft carpet and the case was loose. If it were on a hard surface I think it the case would have come off completely.

Just got mine today, and I have to say im in love! I realllly like the case and the blue looks even better in person. The ONLY gripe i have is that i can VERY FAINTLY see an almost invisible line on the outside where the rubber padding is on the inside. However it's not noticeable unless your weird and anal like me. So far definitely my favorite case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] amir88:
For people who say they have some fitting issues with the case, they better contact incipio and ask for an exchange.

I have the black one for about 2 months and I love it, the fitment is perfect !!

And I got my blue one for a week now and it's the same fitting and perfect of course.

My friend also ordered this case, but the Galaxy Nexus version and he said the fitment was perfect as well.

So if you have problems, don't just say it, contact them and get them exchanged !!
