That's great news!
Do you have a link to the one you purchased? Can you maybe provide some pics showing how it looks and fits?
Thanks!
Yes, pictures please and name brand would help too. Thanks.
I only buy these cases for my phones.

Nice! How does it feel in hand?

feels nice and it has a lot more grip to it.
Does it collect a lot of dust?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Why would it collect dust ? never herd of any cases that collect.
The only problem with these type cases is the clear ones tend to turn yellow in a few months, the colored ones don't
now they have 7 cases, for only 17.99 great deal

Thank you Siberslug!
Just bought myself a case after seeing your thread. Thanks for posting!
My Vibrant gets here tomorrow, I'm even more excited now!
Welcome! The edges are more sturdy than the t-mobile case is, but the center is still flimsy.
It is also not nearly as sticky as the t-mobile case, which is a GOOD thing to me. It still has a grip to it, but it isn't so difficult to stick in my pocket (or pull back out)
I just received mine today...
This is the one I bought:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Gel-Case-...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d2a05dbdb
I was worried that it would be a loose fit but it fits very snugly on to the phone. You have to try very hard to pry it off, which is good!
It's more plastic like than it is a gel like material but it feels very nice in your hands. The feel of it will get smoother after a few days of use once all the oils from my skin get onto it.
I ordered it on 7/19 and received it today on 7/26 and paid $2.98 for everything!
Just buy it in TMO + the screen protector. Pfft. I spent 600 on the phone. another 40 bucks for a case + screen protector. is nothng.

This is how the body glove case fits the captivate, sorry the screen is a little dirty but this is the best fitting case i have seen.

a lot of rave about this case and i must agree. minimalistic cases that don't add a lot of bulk are the way to go!
i'm definitely ordering one when i get mine. thanks for the pics. i can clearly see how high it raises in the front.
have you had any issue with the case scratching the back of your phone? or if it decreases signal/GPS? (see this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764406)
This case fits perfectly. I haven't noticed any difference with gps either, it wasnt working before the case and still isnt working. As for the case scratching the phone, I dont think that will happen because the case isnt hard enough to scratch and I still have the plastic on the back of my phone.

i have this case and it does fit well, i'm not a fan of the back, but alas this is really all we've got right now. i also noticed that i have scratches on the front bezel near the top and bottom of the phone. i think maybe dust or debris get trapped there and just start to rub. i dont think there is a way to fix it though. i had the same issue with cases and the metal bezel on my iphone.
What is this case made from, and how does it feel? Just curious

Its gel/rubber, it feels really good and durable. Adds a nice grip to the phone...

I think most people have found them at AT&T Stores, though they can be found online if you search hard enough.

I picked up a body glove from Best Buy. I waited until they unboxed them and tied it before I went and checked out. Great fit, flexible but thick and offers decent protection. Not what you would get from a hard case, but one of the better gloves I have tried. 24 plus tax.
This is the case I am using until Otterbox releases something I like better. I am not too sure I need an otterbox but I have no issues with this case (body glove)
It fits just fine and offers enough protection for my needs.
I picked up the gel case from samsung's website that says galaxy s on the back, it is pricy at 30 bucks but it fits and looks awesome and has actual raised buttons which is great,i had an all black one but this is a sweet phone and I want it to look sweet, if you spent 200 or more to get a sweet phone spend 30 bucks and get the nicest case made that looks awesome as well, ya know what maybe it was 20 bucks can't remember

Any pics ?
How is the grip/feel? Does it feel rubbery/tacky; or plastic/smooth/slippery? LOL
I wish I could find this thing in the U.S. All I have found is Hong Kong/UK, Paypal only, 2-3 weeks delivery etc...
Try ebay a seller selling for 7.95 or offer. I made £5 offer and they excepted, awaiting delivery, some1 has a pic on a different thread. Looks very nice!!!
I also have one of these, but it leaves the top and bottom exposed, so I also use the HTC HD7 leather pouch and with the hard case it combines perfect, got the leather pouch from o2 but they are cheaper from amazon ;-)
I got these pictures from another site:
http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/995514-samsung-galaxy-s-ii/page__st__90
Here is what the original author had to say about it:
Previous pics online stores of the official case don't give the impression of it looking as expensive as it does in person so hopefully my pics will help change that
The material is plastic/rubberised but it's not as rubbery as other cases, it won't show finger greasy marks like others and appears to be black inside and out so chips/scrapes won't show the undercoat which is good news as my Desire case had white showing on every edge!
I like the drilled look too, I don't think it's to help heat escape but more a design feature and does help grip too.
It also provides a bit of a lip on the front so if the phone is placed face down then the screen is protected from surface contact.

After dropping my phone in my room last night, it's been relegated to storage, impacted with carpeted floor, and shot off out the door, phone left on the floor screen down. Imagine that in the high street, even if it offers minimum protection it should atleast stay on the phone.
Yes we all heard about your accident
You got unlucky, that is all.
dunno mate i'm pretty careful and a little OCD about fitment, but it was off my desk, i mean surely a little more sturdy?
Something occured to me in the office, some thin doublesided tape could work wonders.
I think you got unlucky dude
My HTC Magic suffered a facial scare (the girls love scars, afterall!) yet my Desire was fine
do you have the link of ebay? I cant find this case anywhere.
try here, if you are in the uk:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0050N42QU/
The cheap eBay Bumper case I posted about on another board arrived today and it looks quite good until you pick it up and notice how thin and light it is which kind of goes hand in hand with it's massively small £3 price. It does the job fine on a S2 with the stock battery though but with extended battery the lip surrounding the front bezel is less pronounced.
It is not great with the Zenis dock either as it doesn't sit flush whereas the Zenis one does. I was expecting it to fit fine but the bottom is not sitting nicely like the Walnutt bumper does.
So far I think the Walnutt case looks the best and also feels like it's worth some ££ too. I especially like the lip bearing the Walnutt brand name on the back, it kind of completes an otherwise baron backside, something that the SGP NeoHybrid EX bumper lacks although I'm sure the SGP feels every bit as good and expensive as the Walnutt ones.
Considering the Walnutt bumper is thicker than the cheap eBay one I was surprised it was exactly the same thickness when put on the phone, I put it on my dad's S2 with stock battery to compare in the pics below.

Wow 10 pounds for shipping to Spain! What a RIP OFF. I'll write the seller and see what he says. I doubt though that he'll change the price. I've had books and computer parts delivered for less!

Looks kinda nice. Might get one myself, price isn't too high.

sweet! exactly what I was looking for. I have one of these on my g2x. adds no bulk. wont protect the phone if dropped but will protect the back and bezel from being scratched. also the edges are raised so you can place the phone face down.
This may be a better buy: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sprint-Sams...main_0&var=&hash=item64208fc095#ht_3259wt_917
Its the same type of case, just a couple of very minor aesthetic differences. When you consider shipping, you can buy 5 of these eBay ones for the price of 1 of one of the Yetaa.com ones, and have 44 cents left after.
AMERICA.
I've had something similar in the past. ended up cracking after a week of daily removal. never had that problem with the Nillkin. maybe others have had better luck with them.
i bought 2 a black and a red
i think i may have made a mistake ordering black -__-

How does the case feel?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Hard, decent grip. More grip than those shiny hard plastic cases but nowhere near as much grip as rubber (obviously). Overall I say it feels good. Edges are all round so holding wont get uncomfortable during extended usage.
sorry to bump this thread but im wondering if "mobilemate.yetaa" is a trustworthy site to buy from? found a case for my n9 that is usually about 13-20$ and its like $6 on that site. see,s supsicious a bit
from the post above it looks like one of you bought a case from the site?
edit: its the same price as the one in the op "http://mobilemate.yetaa.com/nokia/nillkin-nokia-n9-00-n9-protective-case.html" its around $20 on ebay
I bought the red case from Yetta two weeks ago. its supposed to come in today according to the tracking information. Ill post with an update on what it looks like.
Update. I just got it and its NICE. Took two weeks for it to arrive but im loving it. Ill probably get the black one now too.

so the diztronic cases are amazing. they are really great and fit perfect and are cheap ($10) ETC. but i found that they yellow incredibly fast. first it was the sides then my entire phone....
its everyday use. have it in my jean pocket and take it out. thats it! its crazy. it reminds me of the jordan shoes with the clear soles back in the day where the soles yellow naturally bc the material comes in contact with oxygen, causing yellowing.
