[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArcticWolf91:
Hey everyone so I just received this case and I wanted to give you guys a rundown on what I think about it.

So the case in question is this one. As you can see from the pictures it is a hard 1-piece case that snaps on to the phone, as well as a holster with a soft fabric lining that will not scratch the screen, and a kickstand.

The case itself is very nice. It has a good solid fit with the phone, no moving or sliding off here. It is made of a rubberized material that feels good in the hand, and the texture on the back provides a good grip. There are cutouts for the power and volume buttons so they are easy to press. As with most cases of this style, the top and bottom of the phone are exposed, BUT the case goes around the corners and extends off the top/bottom ever so slightly, that the case should absorb the main blunt of the impact, should the phone land on that position. The case comes up about 1mm off the screen so that the screen will not touch the surface if you place it face down. All in all I like the way it looks and feels, and I feel it provides adequate protection to the phone.

The holster is made of the same material as the case. Once again, the finish feels good in the hand. It has 3 "arms" that secure the phone in place when it is in the holster. It snaps into place and it feels secure and sturdy. The phone can be put into the holster with either the screen facing in or out. There is a soft fabric material on the inner side of the holster that protects the screen from scratching when the phone is mounted with the screen facing in. The clip on the holster is the star here, because it doubles as a kickstand. It rotates 180 degrees which allows you to position it any way you want. You simply open the clip and pull out a metal prop to keep the clip in its open position, and you've got yourself a kickstand. Another useful feature is that you can mount the clip onto the vents in your car to use it to hold the phone while using GPS navigation. This is really handy for those of use who live in a state where it's illegal to mount a GPS device on the windshield. Once again the holster is superb and incredibly useful.

Overall I'd definitely recommend this case to anyone who wants something sleek that doesn't add a lot of bulk, but that still wants good protection against drops. The holster with the kickstand makes it great for watching movies and videos. And the fact that you can mount it on your car vents for GPS navigation make this an awesome product. I definitely recommend!

WARNING:There is a similar case for this phone on eBay, but it is NOT the same! DO NOT BUY IT! I bought both and the eBay one is garbage! It doesn't even fit properly, adds a lot more bulk, and you can't mount the phone on the holster with the screen facing out (essentially making the kickstand feature useless!!).

Here is how to tell the difference: The ebay ones have only TWO "arms" to secure the phone:

And they have a SMALL cutout by the speaker, instead of a big one like the Boxwave one:

Don't buy the ebay ones they are garbage (unless you find a boxwave case on ebay). Don't make the same mistake I did. :D
