I've got 3 cases for this phone at the moment: The Case-Mate Pop Case ($35), the Incipio Feather Feather Ultralight ($21), and the AGF Magnate ($35).

Each had something I really liked.

I loved the stand with the Case-Mate. It had a nice feel to it, but it was a little too heavy and bulky. The rubber sides also made it stick to my pockets a bit.

The Incipio is super thin and sleek, but didn't really protect my phone. It's not an "every day" type case for me.

The Magnate case is light and pretty darn thin. It's got a complete wrap style, so it offers protection if dropped from any angle. It's got a nice feel to it, the only gripe I have is the power button is a little tough to press and takes some getting used to. This case costs $35 in the store, but I got it for $15 shipped from Amazon.com.

I have the same issue with stretching but consider it mainly cosmetic. Thought the kickstand a little gimmicky but I use it often.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pfmahoney:
I bought a black bumper for mine. I didn't want the thickness of a full case, but I wanted some protection against dropping it. So I bought a bumper on Ebay for $3 shipped - the key words to find it would be "black TPU bumper galaxy s2". It fits fine, doesn't add much to the bulk and offers some protection for the glass against dropping it... and it's cheap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thecrazy88:
I have 4 cases all for different occasions. I just like to get stuff for my phone, its a habit.

1) Seidio surface case:

Its a nice case, thin light good protection, not like an otterbox but good enough. Adds very little bulk. I use it for work.

2) Bodyglove case:

This case is basically like a case-mate barely there case. It's barely there! No bulk and light protection. Good for just hanging around the house. I use it on weekends when I'm just bumming around.

3) Case-Mate barely there brushed aluminum black:

Very stylish looking case. Light protection. A little bulkier than the Bodyglove but not much.

4) Aluminum bumper with aluminum battery cover, black:

I found an aluminum bumper case and battery cover on ebay and I have to say it looks slick on my phone. Like suit and tie going out to a 5 star restaurant slick. It looks to give good protection around the edge and front of the phone but it looks so nice I find myself taking extra care not to mess up the case lol. The case and battery cove have crome accents and looks very nice. The bumper is thin but adds a little weight to the phone wich is not necessarily a bad thing.

Well as silly as this my sound I guess I'm a little bit anal about my phone lol.

All of these cases a good depending on what your looking for. I would recommend any of these cases.

Just got the seidio active case and holster on ebay for $35. Slim and light. Has rubber with exo-skeleton that really protects the corners. Highly recommended!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cachookaman:
just got my phone yesterday and my cases from amazon came in today. i got a TPU case and the casemate pop for under $30. i think the pop is gonna be my daily driver since it feels a little more solid with the plastic midsection and doesnt add much bulk. plus having a kickstand is pretty useful.

i'm now using a incipio ngp case and i do find it hard to push the power button sometimes.

i'm thinking of getting a sgp case after reading some of the comments.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Koizuma:
Something you might want to try, is running some hot water over the case on the power button side like twice a day for a couple days, and I found that to soften up the power button a bit without compromising the rest of the case.

Did it with mines few times and my case is still sturdy, with an easier to press power button.

I'm using the Ballistic with the big ass bumpers. Its big, doesn't have a belt clip and is generally a PITA getting out of my pocket but for those times I've dropped my phone its been nice to have.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ssengine1885:
"Acase" it's similar to the otterbox but not as slick on the backside and under $10.00 on Amazon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] monkeyboi77:
ballistic for me

I bought a Ballistic case of Amazon for 18.00 with shipping and works like a charm I have dropped this phone many times on the pavement and it just bounces off. and have two kids the 2year old likes throwing it across the house ( don't know why) but doesn't have a scratch on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] WD333:
BodyGlove

I wish BodyGlove made a case for the SGS II similar to their Mirage case for the Captivate. I still think that was the best case out there. It was not a lint magnet, it was easy to remove, it didn't stretch/sag even after numerous times taking it off and putting it back on and it kept the slim feel of the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] McCooler:
Acase, It has good protection but doesn't make your phone to bulky.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Mll4eveR.:

Incipio NGP Case - SA-229 (Tip of the Day):

For the hard pressing button issue, I simply took a razor blade and trimmed the volume and power button bumpers out completely exposing both.

Recessed, but responsive and easily accessible.

**If you don't want to completely expose the buttons, take that same razor blade and just scour the recessed lines of the cover buttons. This will allow a bit more flexibility when pressing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] E_D_M:
I got a Case-Mate pop when I bought my phone but it felt a little too bulky when I would put the phone in my pocket. My friend has the same phone but for T-Moble and he told me about the TPU Case. It doesn't add much bulk and still protects the phone pretty well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] J-Wall:
Thanks! I had this case and loved it but since the buttons were so stiff I just bought another, but now I can use it again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Agreed I purchased mine the day I bought my Cappy (2 years ago). While I now have the SG 2 for the second time I cannot find a comparable replacement for the Bodyglove! I recently bought the same case for my sons infuse.

PS the one on my Cappy still looks as good as the day I bought it:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] danny1oh:
One of the appeals of this phone is the slim form factor. I used a very thin case from tpu-cases. It seemed to do the protection job and was the thinnest I could find. However, it still was too thick for my liking. So now I'm back to no case. The S II is the most beautiful without a case imho.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shorty920:
I got the Case-Mate Tough case a month ago when I got my sgs2. So far I've really liked it. Its kind of like the casemate pop but slightly less bulky. Its perfect for what I need it for. It has two layers of protection, feels great in the hand, looks nice, fits VERY well n snug, and overall an awesome case that I got for $15 shipped new on Amazon.

Some pros would be

- hard to get on so if u like swapping cases every other day it could be annoying

- the silicon part attracts white powder n lint

- headphone Jack doesn't line up perfectly but it shouldn't hinder anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] oddspec:
blue and black balistic case is what i use 18 bucks on amazon may be bulky but its a lifesaver specially since i bought my phone off contract full price
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] afrojoc:
What case would you guys recommend for protection, not too bulky but also looks stylish?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Xander_25:
Don't know about stylish, but I care a great deal about protection for my device. I spent a lot of cash and can't afford to damage it. I bought the Otterbox Commuter for mine, and I can attest to its durability and protection for the device. I've dropped my cellie at least six (6) times since I've gotten it, one of those including a 4 foot accidental fling across my bedroom while fixing the sheets on my bed, ending in a solid smack on the wall on the opposite side. My phone still works as it should and I have had no problems.

Looks should not be your priority imo, functionality and protection should be, but then that's just me. You can follow this link to see the otterbox case.

---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 AM ----------

And more prone to damage without protection. I dropped mine a couple days after receipt. Good thing it was just a foot or so. I know it's a pretty solid device, but I'd rather not take any chances. Just my two cents.;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] afrojoc:
I appreciate your opinon thank you. Ive considered the otter box case before but i want something flashy too. I have a regular tpu case and it does fine for me i guess. But im just bored of it being straight black. Its just boring..

Take a look at the Rearth Ringke case. Very nice slim form factor, good protection and very stylish. Look here for impressions and feedback: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1376899

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alacrify:
I like mine too - only issue I've had is the bottom corners started to crack after about 3 months - I take the case off a lot to dock the phone and the on/off has taken a toll...but if I left it on all the time it would be perfect :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] afrojoc:
Just recieved this!

http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Hybri...FWBW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1335020532&sr=8-2

The capacative buttons on the body are very accessible even though the screen shot on amazon shows the slightly cover. The volume buttons and the power buttons are very easy to use. There also seems to be the necessary cut out for everything. Hell it even has a kick stand that works really well.

I havent tested how much of an impact it can endure but nor do i plan on testing that intentionally :D Only draw back I could see for some of you is that it does make the phone thicker, maybe a little over twice as thick. But this doesnt bother me as I love the sturdy feel and I feel like my baby is safe ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] datnukkapenut187:
I just saw this on Google images. it really caught my eye, has anyone ever tried it?

*Just looked it up. in order for it to fit the battery cover needs to be removed for the i777.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ACCUSED24:
Just got the i777 greatsheild case. When I first took it out I didn't think it was the good. Once it is on the phone. Feels great!

Power and volume rocker are a little stiff but I don't mind, someone else might.

Looks really nice. Doesn't add much weight to phone and keeps it very slim. The sides have a nice grip texture.

Over all, Im happy with it. :D

If people want to see pictures of it let me know .

Perfect case for me! Trident Aegis

I am a landscaper, and I really was looking for the case that would give me the best protection while working, and just in life. I got the Trident Aegis first, it seemed, like the best balance of bulk to protection. Then a few days latter, I got the Otterbox commuter. Owning them both, I can say that the Otterbox, can't hold a candle to the Aegis. Totally awesome, the silicon is twice as thick, and so is the abs plastic, it covers all the cracks and seams of the phone, the buttons are awesome, the Aegis even has a dust screen that covers the the speaker phone. Almost all the features I rambles off are absent from the Otterbox. I'm about to buy a second Aegis.

Does anyone know of a case, where I can attach a phone strap b/c the i777 doesn't have one obviously.

I have tried so many cases it is insane.

I like a lot of them but decided to keep this case. http://www.amazon.com/CIMO-S-Line-S..._15?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1336138805&sr=1-15

I just received it and it really feels nice but is not too heavy. Really nice case. I also like the SGP hybrid as well but I am really surprised by this case. Also they are all on sell right now.

Check out CIMO cases for realz!

Very cool brah I know you will like it. I got a black one for myself and a white one for my wife. Btw, how do you charge your phone?

I only ask because it is too rigid to remove each time for docking. I personally sold my Samsung dock and purchased this dock http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NJ6EPI/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00 because I can charge with the case on. Its not a one handed dock but it looks pretty sweet and charging is easy now. I was using SPG hybrid and it was a ****ing nightmare to take off there case and dock it.

fun fact...if you use SlideIT or any like app when you type in dock, **** is the default word. So without changing everything each word my post would have read...

I only ask because it is too rigid to remove each time for dicking. I personally sold my Samsung **** and purchased this **** because I can charge with the case on.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JmPTaz09:
Lol about the **** part. I just use standard charging (no dock) so I should be good. I pretty much plan to leave the case on almost all the time, so I'm glad to hear it's somewhat difficult to remove. I should get it this week, looking forward to it and will post back with my impressions. I got the black one.

Seidio Surface case with holster

I ordered the Seidio Surface case with holster. In my opinion Seidio makes the best holsters available. The Surface case is very compact and is grippy without picking up obnoxious amounts of lint. I'm very happy with it. Cheers!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Eternalty:
Right now I'm sporting the Seidio Active case and I'm liking it a lot. Very lightweight and protective. Doesn't collect lint and easily comes out of ur pocket. You can find one on amazon for 20 bucks maybe cheaper. If that doesn't work out I would also recommend Pop! series by Case-mate

I have been using the Samsung Galaxy S II (AT&T) NGP Semi-Rigid Soft Shell Case. I really like it. It has good protection while not adding too much bulk to the phone. It has a really nice feel to it also. It doesn't stick to your pocket or anything like that. It does the job for me.

+1 for case mate pop it: nice stand and protection. Another cheap and protective alternative is a TPU case for the i9100 that can be easily altered for the i777 by making an additional mix hole near the ear phone jack. Only cost a little over a buck. Its lifts up the screen and camera lens.

As I've posted in another thread, I use the case mate pop! Case, black/grey. It's survived many drops from my 1yr old throwing it from shopping carts and me dropping it on concrete, tile and asphalt. The case does flare out a small amount on the volume rocker and power button area but that's due to the case design. It does not have rigid support across those areas .

No serious damage to the case, just a couple dings, a good few minor scraps and a ton of surface scratches. My phone is flawless! The screen has some minor scratches... but that's only on the screen protector!

My phone looks brand new, slips in and out of my pocket with ease and is very easy to hold! And looks pretty cool too...

My favorite case thus far is the Body Glove I bought at walmart. I have spent $100's on different cases for mine, and pretty much all have been too bulky feeling for my taste. Plus, I absolutely hate rubber feeling cases. I like hardshell cases. The BodyGlove is lightweight, slim and smooth feeling. The only bad thing about it, is it is open at the top and bottom. But, it has protected my phone through countless drops

I ordered a balistic for mine as well. After a week of everyone complaining about echos and me thinking it was a flashed kernel or rom...I finally took the case off and immediately got rid of the problem. I cut the bottom out between the two corners thinking that would free up the mic and solve the problem, it did not though. I dont see any difference between my balistic and others, yet I get the echo every time I put it on??

My last 3 phones I have gotten a clip hanger case and loved them. I guess I'll end up ordering one for the s2 as well. Not as protective but slim and has the hanger built right into the case instead of those cheap stick ons in the old days. $30.00 but what are you going to do, LOL besides I hate slipping them into my pocket or wearing a holster and this one just pops onto my belt loop.
