How is the included screen protector in terms of friction, texture, and optical clarity?

Does the polycarbonate part of the case feel flimsy and/or prone to cracking or is it stiff and sturdy?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Earthdog:
Mine shipped without the screen protector. They emailed me and said they had realized that the first ones had the wrong screen protectors. They said the screen protector will ship this week.

What do you think of this case compared to the case-mate?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SomeGut:
How is this case in black not available........EVERYWHERE!!!! Damn. I need my phone protected lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prodigalOne:
Those that have this, can you post pics? If you put the phone face down, does the screen touch the surface, or is there an edge to it? Does it raise the back so the camera lens doesnt scratch? How does it feel in terms of, "Oops I dropped my phone while pulling it from my pocket" safety? This looks too slim to be protective.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Earthdog:
The screen has a .5m lip so the screen is off the desk and the camera is also protected as well.

In my opinion the protection is good for an office work environment. If I were a construction worker I would say no its not. I would say the protection is equal to the thin otterbox that ATT sells in the store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Daedalus_:
The supplier ran out derp. Everyone probably got black and I couldn't find it either. Ordered the white one instead and got a shipping notice today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dexmo:
What is in the upper right corner above the power button? Looks like a cutout for some button. My phone doesn't have anything there. Are the pictures correct? It talks about pic of a Korean phone. Has anyone who has ordered one confirm if there is a cutout there on the one they received, just like the pics on the order page?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jayrod88:
Also wondering this....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] floppy__:
I read that it's for the some international version of the SGS 2 (I will guess for Korea). They have a TV tuner and the cutout is to be able to install an external antenna.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Earthdog:
Its for the lanyard loops that the international version has and the NA version does not.

Case on pics

(pics taken with my Xoom, which does not handle close up shots very well)

some things to note, speaker on back is partially covered, top right corner has a cut out for some odd reason, case comes with a free ultra crystal clear steinheil screen protector.

Case itself is very low profile, back is smoother then i thought, the fit itself is perfect, love the red on black.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stephman:
fyi,

I posted some very short thoughts and some pics about the Ultra Capsule that just arrived in the mail.

I'm liking the look of the Neo. I thought it would be much thicker than the Ultra Capsule but from your pics, it doesn't look that much thicker if at all. Wish I didn't cancel my order for that one now. It would have been nice to compare the "slickness" of the back of both of the cases as that was one of my main concerns for a case. To not be as slick as the battery cover when holding it and to be a thin as possible.

Thanks for the pics!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Daedalus_:
Just got my white neo hybrid in the mail today. The polycarbonate frame feels like it can crack because it's so stiff and thin, and maybe it was designed that way to absorb some shock. The case covers the top speaker hole but not the bottom one, on the back. The packaging says "for Galaxy S II 4G LTE" but everything is a perfect fit except for the speaker. The case is very thin profile and feels nice to hold with the matte back.

The ultra crystal screen protector was very hard to install with all the dust in my house. Had to put it on a 3M lint roller and peel off several times until I got a dust-free application. The colors are still vivid and no distorted pixels. It feels like plastic under your finger, not glass, but it is still smooth. Touch sensitivity is still good. When I was applying it however, I made a feint scratch with my plastic credit card with sharp edges, so use something smooth.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] KewlRobD:
What top speaker does your case cover? The only thing I have on the top of my phone is a pin hole on the very top and that is not covered on my case. I can't confirm what the package said until I get home later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
I think he is referring to the speaker on the back... I got my Soul Black Neo and the speaker cutout does not line-up/center over the Skyrocket speaker. Cutout is too low and to the left. Everything else aligns and is a good fit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] KewlRobD:
IDK, seems like he is referencing a 3rd speaker. The only two speakers I know of are the one on the bottom back and the one on the top front. My case doesn't cover either of these except the partial block on the bottom back. Since he says his package says "for Galaxy S II 4G LTE" I am wondering if he got the wrong version. I will check him when I get home.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gregh2000:
I ordered mine directly from the source and it came today. This case is great it is thin and gives it a good feel. There was a free screen protector in the box I didn't even know it would come with one. I already have a zagg on it so I will save it for later.

The case slightly covers the speaker on the back but doesn't seem to be a big deal. It lines up perfectly with the top mic and all the buttons work just fine. It give a little lip so the screen doesn't touch if you put it face down and the camera is slightly indented so it doesn't hit when face up.

Nice case and decent price.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] L1near:
Galaxy S II 4G LTE is what this phone is called everywhere else in the world (well Korea and Canada for sure), but as far as I know the outer case of the phone itself is the exact same. I think the Korean version may have a home button like the OGS2, so that's why they pulled the screen protectors at first... I've ordered one for mine (Canadian version), I'll let you know how the back speaker fit is once I get it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] KewlRobD:
I understand that is the name of the international version. I just wasn't sure if the outer cases were the exact same. I looked at my case and it says the same thing so it seems they did not make a Skyrocket specific case.

I have some extra holes in my case but absolutely nothing is covered up. Not sure what he was talking about unless they sent him the wrong case in the right package.

---------- Post added at 12:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 AM ----------

I agree with everything you said. I can also note that while the back of the case is just as smooth and slipery as without a case I actually find the plastic part of the case to have a nice grip to it. I think that the phone definitly feels more secure in my hand when I have this case on.

I didn't use my screen protector either but I don't have any screen protector. Hopefully the gorrila glass will give me enough protection from scratches.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Daedalus_:
Sorry for the bad phrasing. There's only one speaker on the phone. Of that speaker there are two speaker holes. The top hole is covered.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ozone777:
This was my finding as well.

Its ironic that the shiny plastic frame actually provides a better grip than the dull black finish of the insert.

I'm definitely happy with this case so far but would really like to see a case with a kick stand come out for this phone in the near future.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] KewlRobD:
A kick stand would be nice but I would probably only use it at my office. For that reason I am looking for some type of dock that will fit the case and charge the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kaze105:
Although I like the case, I have 3 problems with mine. (as said before probably)

I cant put in the charger since the case is slightly blocking it. The speaker isnt fully cleared as the case is slightly blocking it. I dont see why the right corner is open for this phone.

Going to return mine and wait for a different one. Being unable to fit in the charger kills it for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] KewlRobD:
What kind of charger are you trying to use? I have the case and the opening for the charger port is rather big.

The speaker is partially blocked but it looks worse than it is. It's really more "off center" than it is blocking anything.

Rumor has it that the right corner is open to allow better GPS signal. But i think that is just speculation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tonyfiore75:
I received this case at the end of last week. Here is my take on it:

- I like the fit of it especially as compared to the Otterbox case which I got when I bought the phone. This case fits very well. Secure. Make is seem a lot smaller than the Otterbox case.

- while the rubber inner shell fits pretty well and has a lip on it that does not allow for too much elasticity (which some do), the outer plastic shell feels quite cheap to me. One fall and I could see this thing cracking. It holds together pretty well but occasionally I feel like I feel the hard plastic shell move.

- The port for charging is definitely big enough. No problems there.

- I wish the headphone port was larger as some of my headphones have larger plugs to them that definitely won't allow complete insertion.

- The buttons are harder to use with this case on (power button, volume buttons). Also, when the phone is in my pocket I feel like the phone is being turned on and off due to the case being so tight on the buttons. The rubber really makes them quite stiff and sensitive. My phone actually got turned off from being in my pocket on Saturday night. I didn't even realize it.

- The screen protector that came with the case is an A+. I've always loved the Steinheil screen protectors more than any other, and I've tried quite a number of them over the years.

Summary: This case is average. I'm assuming that a better case is going to come out sooner or later. When that case comes out I will buy that case. This one will be fine for now but there are too many things that are less than satisfactory. I like the fit. I like the look. But everything I mentioned above sort of leaves me scratching my head.

Overall Grade: B
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Charsher47:
I just got my case recently and I also had problems with the OEM charger fitting with the case on.

I eventually figured out that I can kind of wedge one side in and force the other side in using a little force. After doing this a couple times it seems to go in easier. Shouldn't have to do this but it's not a big deal. I have a motorola charger from my last phone and that plug fits in no problem due to less plastic around the USB plug.

The oem charger I got with my phone has quite an amount of plastic around the usb plug. I'm surprised that a lot of you have said the opening in the case is plenty big.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cheiftokitdown:
I also have a problem with the case not fitting with the oem charger. It will stay connected to the charger some times if you force the plug in there but that defects the plastic going across the front of the phone. So, I just take the the plastic trim piece off to charge the phone. Weird tho because the charger from my og gs2 doesnt have the bulky plastic piece on the usb cable, fits the hole in the case just fine, and is twice as long.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] offwiththeface:
case fits perfect only prob is the back speaker is partially covered and that tge case is kinda slippery but all in all its a good buy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] daystrom:
I too had problems with the OEM USB plug fitting with the case on. I ended up using a dremel tool to cut away a tiny bit of plastic on both sides of the case. No problems now and you can't tell I made the cut.

I like the case BTW too.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eunkipark92:
The right side open thing is because of the antenna for korean versions. In korea most of the smart phones and high end mp3 players comes with dmb (i think thats what its called). What it does is that they can watch dmb channels(its just like tv channels) while they are on their subway, bus or got nothing to do on the streets

Going off topic but dmb doesnt uses data either its free. And even navigations comes with it(you will see lots of drivers watching tv shows including taxi drivers etc off their nav.) If you go to major cities you can use dmb just about everywhere. Free wifi is everywhere too and the speed? LOL. You can download a movie in few min with your laptop.

Oh and most phones are free on 2 year contract(including iphone and sgs ii).plans are relatively cheap too i belive.

Sorry i got way off topic. Lulz

I've had the case for about three weeks now and the rubber us becoming loose around the camera hole.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] KewlRobD:
Do the both of you remove your cases on a regular basis? Mine fit perfect until I started removing it on a daily basis to fit into a desk dock. My wife has one also and hers fit perfectly until I got her a 2nd battery. She started removing the case in order to swap the battery and now her's is loose as well. I am thinking this happens from it being stretched out during the removal process.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cheiftokitdown:
No I haven't removed it from the case since I put the case on.

Is there any way to get back the Asphalt 6 game that was originally shipped on my stock T-mobile Galaxy S2 phone? I rooted and flashed the Eagles Blood rom and now Asphalt 6 is gone. I guess most of the custom roms rip out all the extra bloatware, but I like some of the bloatware... namely Asphalt 6! Is there any way I can get that game back?

[General Questions and Answers] citron311:
Hello,

tl;dr - Has anyone had trouble with their Samsung Exhibit II 4G seeing (let alone connecting to) certain Wi-Fi networks? Specifically, WPA2 AES protected Wi-FI networks? More specifically on a router running DD-WRT (in my case the version is DD-WRT v24-sp1 (07/27/08) vpn)?

Further explanation...

Go with the assumption I am not a complete idiot when it comes to connecting to Wi-Fi networks. My Exhibit connects fine to the Wi-Fi at work (which uses some type of enterprise level authentication). But I've never been able to get the phone connected to my home wireless, which is running the above mentioned DD-WRT with WPA2-Personal-AES encryption. Two laptops and my iPhone connect fine to this wireless network. I rebooted the router several times and rebooted the Exhibit many times. At one point I even turned off the encryption, and the Exhibit still didn't see the network. If I manually input the SSID and passcode, the entry on the Wi-Fi screen just says the network is not in range (even though I am sitting right next to the router).

Initially, the Exhibit does not even see the network, even though the SSID is set to broadcast. If I then run the WLAN Test sequence *#*#526#*#* (which runs successfully), the Exhibit will see the network, authenticate successfully, but then just goes in a loop of "Connecting...", Disconnected, Connecting..., Disconnected. It never completely connects.

My Google searches have come up empty for any specific Wi-Fi bugs with Android 2.3.5 with this behavior, or issues 2.3.5 and DD-WRT specifically.

Thanks in advance for any help. This is driving me crazy.
[General Questions and Answers] nycdpj:
