I bought from that ebay seller. I can assure you the quality is just as good if not better than the "real" ones. I will post pictures tmrw as I need to go rest now.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] legionxx:
hey guys,

anyone came across with a stripped screw problem with the bumper? not sure how i gonna get my s2 out now that the screw is in this condition while keeping the metal bumper scratch free as possible
[Galaxy S II Accessories] skrapi:
I think I might just go with the Sweet Armor, it looks good, and if it adds weight that's good in some ways, at least you will know if it falls out of your pocket. You will be walking faster :P
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Icywat3r:
I dropped my phone the other day, luckily it has sweetarmour. The armour is dened and scratched, but the phone still in perfect condition no scratch :).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dizzydz:
it saved my phone sooo many times... so glad to have it... feels like a tank haha
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rdhalla:
I got the Ikuba. To be honest it looks nice when its on phone. But i dont like it. It scratches the phone at the corners. So i taped the frame inside with cello and then put my phone back in . I might get sweet armor. So what is it like the inside. Its all Metal . would it scratch the phone?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Dimatchka:
You forgot the Taurus aluminum bummer! might as well include it if you're listing all metal bumpers
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Dimatchka:
How's the signal strength? Looks like your rocking the aluminum back plate as well!! If expect the signal to be worse! Can you post some pictures of the dBm measurements with the case and aluminum back cover and without the metal!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] joab0920:
looks great! thanks for the info. I might buy one for my beloved s2 :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rdhalla:
So how is the SweetArmor in case of bracketing the phone? Does it scratch the S2 edges or corners (Round ends) Any scratch marks during installing or taking out the phone from the case?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mello90:
Cheers for the reviews, Just bought a green sweet armor bumper off Ebay, i'll post some pics when it arrives :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Crypt!c:
nope, there are cushions or some form of lining on the inner body of the sweet armour. so no scratches inside. however if its left in there for like a month or so, it tends to get dusty inside the case itself, dont know how the dust got in either.

My review

Hi guys,

You can read my review of the Sweet Armor for GSII.

===://technopoda.com/2012/03/14/review-sweet-armor-for-samsung-galaxy-sii/

(replace the === with http)

Overall, I highly recommend that bumper, it is beautiful and solid.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nicholaschum:
Well, I would, but I don't have the option to buy a Taurus aluminum bumper where I live. If any of you have pictures and want to post a review, I would be glad to add it in. Also would be great to aid everyone's online shopping spree ;)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nicholaschum:
Thanks, I will add this link on my main page.

Regarding censorship of links, you can post any link on the forums as long as it does not require membership on that website to view, and also since it is your website (I suppose since it's your review), you don't need to censor the http part next time ;) Anyways, thanks for your take on reviewing the sweet armor :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tchiort:
You're very welcome, thanks for this very informative thread.

Some more info on the Draco case for the SII if anyone is interested, just found it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzOVI1xubkE&feature=player_embedded

Apparently the case just received the reddot design award honorable mention 2012 - so I have been told.

Available in 3 colours.

No idea what they are like.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Br1ce:
It looks really good but 80euros is a way too expensive price :/
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Dimenxion:
metal bumper looks cool. i am interested to buy it. but tested my fren s2 using this metal bumper... it feels big and doesnt feel the slimness anymore... hmmm :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] PiracyX:
I just got a black sweet armor case and makes the phone look amazing. Really happy with it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nadalzeal:
1. anyone who has gold sweet armor? I am choosing between gold, black, and red pls help which is the best color that will fit my black sgs2 :) (picture may vary from on hand)

2. how will I know if the sweet armor I am going to purchase is genuine?

Sweet armor here in the philippines costs 1500php ($34.7)

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] GoNz0:
a small drill bit would let you drill the head off the offending screw, there should be enough left after removing the cover to grip the remaining stud and undo it as there will be no tension on it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] olekpl:
Im thinking about getting a metal bumper for my S2, thinking about case mate stainless steel, but doesnt it leave a metally smell after touch? especially with sweaty hands :/ ?

Does anyone knows if the 3 bumper reviewed will fit a sgp glas screen protector on it? I understand that the sgp glas is pretty thick and I worry if any of those 3 bumpers will not fit with a sgp glass installed.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tchiort:
I'll give you an answer in summer, as the temperatures are low in Europe currently. But I really enjoyed the "metal feeling" with cold weathers.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ikogsakanding:
I like the IKUBA....
[Galaxy S II Accessories] GoNz0:
it would seem my as quoted by the member on here "genuine" sweet armour has no hole for the microphone on the bottom of the case, and the cutout for the Korean antenna is sharp as hell..

:mad:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tchiort:
Well it would mean mine is not genuine (I honestly don't care if it is or not since I am very happy of this bumper) since mine has a hole matching the GSII mic hole at the bottom and I don't mind - at all - the cutout for the Korean GSII, it is not very pretty but not "sharp" or anything here.

I guess everything is subjective!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] GoNz0:
if yours has a mic hole at the bottom near the usb port and the korean cutouts not sharp then you stand a better chance of it being genuine than mine :)

the sellers issued the paypal refund and he will be getting it back. now to find a something genuine :(

i couldnt understand why the wife couldn't hear me with the bumper on, then spotted no mic hole *sigh*
[Galaxy S II Accessories] GoNz0:
anyone own the draco S2 ?

i want the zen version but mobile fun only stock black and white. cant find it anywhere else for sale in the UK or EU.

also can't find if you can remove the battery cover and fit the 2000mah battery cover with it, i assume it will take the extended cover but need to know if i can take the cover off with the case on ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] vitamina74:
HI

I, like others here on the forum I bought on ebay the sweet armor version using the rubber blacks and without the silver grille on the speaker (I'll try some way to put something like that)!

The official site shows the same features as the figures but I must say that the versions with aluminum parts I dislike more ... but as something strange!

Apart from these small differences, this bumper is terribly scenic as well as sturdy and well made! Great! I've also chosen for its compatibility with the 2000mAh battery ... perfect! Silver because you sang well with the inscriptions "Samsung"!

Question: Are there sites that sell the rear hatch of aluminum in the 2000mAh version? I've found it only for the versions to 1650mAh ...

It's not that then it creates too much interference in the use of the phone?!

PS: I've only seen pictures in the bumper Draco ... I do not like ... in my opinion creates space at the top too! Then ... expensive! ... The way you combine the two parts (above and below) does not convince me! In my opinion not good for the 2000mAh battery.

PPS: this is another link where they speak of the sweet armor:

This case rocks!!! and the Draco Design just looks bad in my opinion
[Galaxy S II Accessories] vitamina74:
I also like the Taurus! Only that I've read of users who have had unwanted broken ... at which point it broke I did not understand!

I would not like it was broken in the top right corner where it is open ... otherwise even the Sweet Armor would be at risk!

[Galaxy S II Accessories] knight900:
Bought the szlf metal bumper for my s2 and also bought a glass screen protector (not sgp glas)

I was worrying the frame could not fit in due to the glass sp. But to my surprised it fits perfectly fine.... simply love the whole phone now...

Cons. ... GPS fix now take a much longer time with the metal bumper. The moment I take it out,I can get a fix in 10 secs. But i can live with that.....
[Galaxy S II Accessories] vitamina74:
BEAUTIFUL! If you buy this, let us know how you are! A view from the photos, I doubt a couple of things: 1) discovery leaves behind the hump and the frame seems very thin. 2) securing the two parts with only two screws puzzles me ... I'm afraid to have problems with "strength"! :confused:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mike9899:
I LIKE MY CLEAVEEE s2 case :3

i love my new full black including back metal cover and black metal cleave case for the s2 ^-^
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Jeremy:
Is it really USD $154?!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nicholaschum:
Nah, mike and I bought it for ~$250HKD which is ~$35USD.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kennethb925:
Do you guys think that the metal bumper is too expensive?

Is it worth to buy such an expensive case for a phone?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] trt44:
Looks bulky that way
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eminemkh:
i agree...

and when i was in hong kong, the bumpers were like so much cheaper compare to those in ebay, and they are the same stuff
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erwinwijaya:
already have that case,even the frame thinner than other case but the strength is very good..why should be thick if with a thin aluminum is strong enough..this case is the best metal case for me because of the size of the phone after using the case is not too big and still comfortably held and stored in a pocket
[Galaxy S II Accessories] landerson07:
I've got the sweet armor metal bumper but have only just discovered that I cannot fit my headphones in? The hole is too small

Has anyone else found this and if so how have they overcome it?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nicholaschum:
Not sure if the hole is way too small, but the metal around the headphone jack does interfere with what brand headphones to use.

I usually just use the iPhone-esque headphones with a thin plug, but yes, it gets annoying if the headphones don't fit (Sennheiser-esque, some Beats headphone plugs as well).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] insane6730:
Looks awesome ...

Cases free postage in hong kong only?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] saywhatt:
If only there were rubber versions :P
[Galaxy S II Accessories] anfozy:
Yeh the cases look nice but they are really bulky, makes the gs2 go from ferrari to m1 abrams

Plus the audio jack will get annoying but u can buy a slim 3.5 audio extender on ebay that will solve your problem
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Trolblivion:
Ordered one of these. At least i think similar ones along with some armorsuit carbon fiber skin :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] valentinosael:
Hello guys what is your opinion for this Alu Case Cover has anyone try it ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] suitengu:
Think it's just an IKUBA.

For information the Cleave bumper is available for only 10$ with port at aliexpress. It's show how mobilfun 50£ and flutterscape 150$ (who are sited in the first post) are some crappy stealer.

I'm looking for something like these for my Samsung Galaxy S II SPH-D710. Anyone know where I can find one? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] .Heisenberg.:
I bought the Sweet Armor Bumper on ebay few years ago, I took the green below and gray above (also because it cost less ehehe), I paid about 10 euro. The bumper is very nice and elegant, and certainly does not pass in observed ;) in over fairly well protects the smartphone.

The only flaws are: the lack of grip when it is in my hand and the fact that when it is on the table and vibrates the phone makes an infernal noise! :p

I would still recommend buying it. Asthe I was very satisfied!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epsis:
Is there any software that springs to mind if i were to say i'm looking to use a defunct Desire as a home server?

I was using my Desire as a daily handset for a good eighteen months, which has since been replaced by an HD7 (i got fed up of dodgy dual touch and laggy scrolling, and didn't pay anything for the enormous WP7 device). Because i'm using the HD7 full time, and i love it to bits, my little Desire has been sat in a cupboard nothing doing.

I have a first gen iPod Touch, and i used that as a SOCKS server, as well as an SFTP file server and an IRC idler, but there's only so much you can do with a dead iOS 3.x platform running on ancient hardware. I'm looking to do a similar kind of thing with my HTC Desire.

Basically, the kinds of things i'm hoping to use it for include:

File Server

IRC Idler (Hoping to use IRSSI, does Android have a port?)

SOCKS Proxy Server (To overcome network filters)

Webserver

I know such software exists on android, i'm just struggling to find decent examples so i thought i'd ask the hive mind that is called XDA-Devs. Also, if anybody's got any scripts or solutions they use for a similar kind of thing that they feel like sharing that'd be badass.

I did try getting Ubuntu going locally on my Desire, but the information available's kind of aging and i've been having a bit of trouble getting it to play nicely with CM7, and other roms.

About the Desire in question:

It's been bricked, flashed, rooted, and returned to stock more times than i care to remember, and i'm pretty comfortable with putting all sorts of things on it.

It'll be connected to a WiFi access point at home 24/7.

It won't have a SIM card in it.

It's got an 8GB MicroSD inside.

I've S-OFF'd it (big thanks to Unrevoked <3) and i'm currently using the CM7 partition, but if there's anything more suitable i can change it easily enough. It's an SLCD if that makes any difference, and it'll most likely be constantly connected to a plug because the battery is pretty much borked anyway.

So yeah, basically what i'm asking is what software would you recommend for this kind of job? Are there any cool things i'm missing out on?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
Is this possible?
[HTC Amaze 4G] HuskyHamburger:
First of all, someone already asked this question in the General section. Second, it is not possible to port WP7 because it's close-sourced, you can download a WP7 launcher though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
apologies. i didnt see the post in the general section.
[HTC Amaze 4G] spiz516:
Launcher 7 is the best one and it's pretty close. If you want to get it as close to WP7, purchase the full version. I did and it's fun to have.

Hi everyone. Just want a bit of help really. I want a good Final Fantasy type RPG to sink my teeth into, and was wondering which you all think is the best. Every time I look on the Market I just keep getting MMO's, lol. It can be either 2D or 3D.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
hey, i visit these forums everyday but i just forgot i had an account xD by the way, i know some titles.

Symphony of Eternity (JRPG)

Eve of the Genesis (JRPG)

Zenonia 1,2,3 (Action-JRPG much like 2d zeldas)

Eternal Legacy (JRPG, its the gameloft version of FF13, i think its quite boring)

these are also endless possibilities with emulators. even if you don't have an xplay, JRPGs are playable on touchscreen :P

i'd also like to expand the topic a little bit. I'm searching for western rpgs, as close as elder scrolls as possible. On android, there are some open world games like GTA3 or GOF2, but they are not rpgs, also there's no fantasy medieval setting. Earth and legend is kinda sucky and boring. Dungeon hunter 2 is a bad diablo/torchlight clone.

Then, there are emulators. On the psx theres diablo which is awesome and addictive, but its far from being a WRPG. There is also a jap-only version of ultima underworld but its, ya know... jap-only. On the snes there is ultima 6, might and magic 3, and eye of the beholder. The former has a strange system (can't really figure out what to do), the latter two are candidates even if they have parties and the action window is small. Haven't tried them yet. Exact same for Mazes of fate on the GBA. On the n64 there's gauntlet legends which is like diablo if i'm not mistaken. Then there's of course zelda OOT, MM and a bunch of horrible games like quest 64. The zelda titles are of course awesome but they're not what i'm looking for.

Someone has managed to get daggerfall running on andosbox. I tried and it went slow and laggy as in his video. However he pm'd me saying it can be made to run at full speed.

In the end, i'd really like suggestions, on android games and emulators alike. I hope i haven't gone off topic, just wanted to help bluescorpion and to not get clumsy with a redundant topic.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BlueScorpion91:
Thanks for the help man, I'll try them out. And I totally forgot about my emulators, lol. I'm gonna DL FFV and Secret of Mana.

I wish you could get the original Fallout on Android.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] MinionOfEckerd:
I've had a hell of a fun time playing Eve of Genesis. There are so many hidden items to obtain, extra bosses after the "final" boss and a lot of customization with the characters and skills.

Zenonia 3 was also a lot of fun. Very hack and slash but good for a playthrough. This game also has extra content after beating the game the first time. There is a "Hard" mode and a "Hell" mode as well.

SNES RPGs are plentiful. Don't think I need to go into the mainstream ones but if you haven't played Treasure Hunter G, find a translated ROM immediately and play it. Only released in Japan but it's an amazing game.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
No problem man :) fallout is completely mouse driven, right? dunno if that could work for me. I also thought about GemRB for baldur's gate ecc., is it worth it? does it work on the gamepad? I think many of those games need mouse anyway.

as for JRPGs, if you take emulators into account there's a whole lot even of non-mainstream ones. On the SNES try Star Ocean, Terranigma and Illusion of Gaia, on the PSX try Persona, Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve (the first one), Chrono Cross and Wild Arms. Of course if you don't know them already.

Huh, onlive has the witcher. Can it be played on the xplay? I can't try as i'm not in uk/us. Maybe there's a way around that :P
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] noojster:
You can always emulate classic PsOne RPGs like FF7 8 9 on FPSE if you're feeling

android RPGs are bad..

On my case I'm still playing Spectral Souls and its a good one for me.. Id also want to try out Generation of Chaos but buying a second pricey RPG game is too much for me right now. But hyperdevbox games speaks for itself, their games are good compared to other games which looks like it was made from RPGmaker. :D

Ive tried Eternal Legacy since it has nice graphics but I quit playing after a few hours since I find less action and effort of Gameloft here to actually even clone Final Fantasy. I hate that you can only select commands for the main character and just select a command profile for the other party members.. *sigh*

that's my main thoughts on the turn-based RPGs.

If Im going to play a slash-and-destroy-your-way RPG I'd definitely pick Dungeon Hunter over cartoony Zenonia series but both are good games you should get.

But right now, aside from hyperdevbox RPGs, I'd say PSOne RPGS are still best.

For me, there's not a single mobile game that has the character or charm of even the worst console/PC game.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nucklez:
Truthfully, I would have to agree with you on that. I'm not feeling the love for many of the mobile games. Maybe I'm just old, I dunno. Although I do like plenty of newer PC RPGs. **cough Skyrim** But that is a different animal all together. The Zenonia series deserves a good score though, it's a good action RPG. Also, Pocket Legends seems good enough to be a totally free MMO. Neither of those are really like Final Fantasy though. Run all the PSOne Final Fantasy games though PSXPeria and/or FPSE and you'll be in heaven. I'm playing through Final Fantasy Tactics right now. I'm also after the dozens of PSOne RPGs that I never got too, such as Xenogears, Grandia and Chrono Cross. Google something like Top PSX RPGs and you'll find tons of top 10 type lists with lots of RPGs.

You won't find a single mobile phone game at sixty dollars either. I'm afraid good story telling, scripting and so on has its price and it will never get cheaper, it's not like graphical power which has catch-up economies and gets cheaper to use with time.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
I agree with logs, your comparing 2 diffrent genres, mobile games are cheap to make and cheap to buy, console games have massive budgets and hundreds maybe thousands of people involved in the development, where as mobile games would be lucky to have a team of 10 programmers.
