I ordered a cheap TPU material case from amazon for something like $7 shipped and its an amazing deal. It's a smoke colored diamond pattern and i chose it because i wanted something easier to slide out of my pocket than the regular cheap rubber silicone cases that get lint all over them and i didn't want to pay a lot of money. I also didn't want a snap on cheap plastic one that might scratch my phone so this seemed like a good choice.

I have grown fond of the tpu cases, especially the argyle pattern and it works well as regard to no lint and being non-sticky. I usually buy it for all my gadgets..xoom, Ipad, and thunderbolt.

cool, thanks for the reply! im excited to try it. along with a cheap screen protector for a total of under $10 shipped, it seems like a good solution on a budget.

Has anyone had experience with these cases? Can you get them out of your pocket easily without your pocket gripping it and such?

I got mine off eBay for 4 bucks. I didn't want a glossy finish, nor the argyle pattern, so mine is a matte dark gray/black finish. It should feel better in the hand.

yet yours is still tpu material and not silicone/rubber? i didn't like that type, because it always pulled my pocket inside out.

Looks pretty good in person
Fits perfectly
Doesn't add too much bulk
And makes me not scared to put it down somewhere and think it is going to get scratched

nice. thanks for the pictures. looks like ill have to put the screen protector on first, hopefully removing and replacing the case doesn't make the protector start to lift on the edges.

I put the screen protector on and gave it about a day and a half, 2 days before i put the case on (the put the case on carefully)
the case sits just a but on top of the screen protector, so far, it hasnt lifted, but whatever, lifetime zagg warranty
mine arrived in the mail, smoke grey colored argyle diamond pattern just like the pics posted. easy to slip on and off but would never fall off. MUCH better than the rubber silicone material yet still nice and smooth and almost rubber or gel feeling. slips in and out of a pocket easily yet feels a little better in the hand, it sort of grips slightly better than the actual phone surface, so better one handed use. very happy for under $10 shipped!

Recently picked up two different Cruzer Lite Argyle Pattern TPU cases...here's what I think:
This applies to both the Clear Argyle & Smoke Argyle Cases.
Please note, I'm NOT affiliated with the maker of these cases...just LOVE a good TPU Case!
1. It fits perfectly- nice and snug. Cutouts are just right. Easy to put on / take off. No "give" doesn't feel like it'll get loose on ya.
2. The volume buttons covered with two overlays, defining the buttons nicely. A little stiff at first, but seems to be softening a little over a few days.
3. Not overly slick. Easy to put in your pocket / remove. Seems to have enough friction to prevent dropping. Some of these TPU cases are like holding a wet fish, while your hands are covered in baby oil. This one's just fine.
4. Lightweight - doesn't add any real bulk...most TPU cases don't. Having such a slim, lightweight phone is something to show off...this doesn't detract from that.
5. Great packaging - most of these type of TPU cases just come shipped to you in a plastic baggie. This had said plastic baggie, with another layer of protection inside that...plus a cardboard cutout. (it's the little things that impress)
6. I love that the SGSII logo can be seen through the argyle pattern. This and the darker of the two cases allow for this. I like it!
7. The argyle pattern itself is sharp...I feel it adds to the classy image of this phone.
I'll say in summation, that I've had an overall pleasant experience with this TPU case...and the Owner that sent it to me. Seems like decent Customer Service in my interactions. Of course, in all honesty a TPU case doesn't offer as much protection as an OtterBox...but overall it serves it's purpose!

I like this case too. I posted a few pictures in another thread.
I didn't like how the volume rocker cover felt so I ended up using the cardboard mod that other people were using with the other TPU cases. I might consider removing that mod because I'm afraid it might damage the buttons in the long run.
I really like these as well. Looks like the smoke argyles are sold out at amazon and I cant find them on ebay. anyone know where these are in stock right now?
They will be stock in about a week. I will have nine colors total.

I just got a clear one and a blue one from eBay. 4.99 each and free shipping. There were on my phone in 2 days. My volume buttons are easy to click. Somewhat easier than no case. It gives it more of a clicky feel. ( if that's a word?)

What color did you get?
Ordered the clear argyle case, just arrived today. The case fits like a glove, the only thing is that the argyle design is scratched and faded around the corners. Maybe I'm just being finicky. But I can't really argue with the price. Leaps and bounds better than the silicon case I had, oh and it's lighter too.
The way the cases are molded sometimes small defects can be found on the corners. I am glad to hear you like the case.
Other than those minor problems, I love this case. The case seems good enough to give me peace of mind while handling my phone.
I'm pretty much a minimalist when it comes to phone cases.
I already have ghost armor film on the front so I just need a bumper that protects the side bezel, just like iPhone 4's. I'd rather not have back cover since I have a white gs2.
Is there anything like that available?
nothing, how about something like this?http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-TPU-T...405692?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cc0116ebc

I'm pretty sure D30 had release them. They had it where you can have the bumpers only, or with the clear back. I saw them while I was inside the T-Mobile store a couple of weeks ago. Not sure if they have it in all the corporate stores.
I'm surprised there is not many option available for t-mobile version gs2... I just ordered white version of elbarto's link though it's not exactly what I was looking for.will post picss once I receive it. thansk everyone
I take that back, it was for the Galaxy S 4G, not the Galaxy S II 4G
The D30 flex protect is the closest thing to a bumper for our phone.

Clear TPU Case
Have you considered getting a clear TPU case? I also have the white GS2 and I ordered this case right here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00620FT76/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
Honestly, I think it looks ****ty on the black model, but I can vouch for it on the white one. It fits snugly on the phone and has power button and volume rocker cutouts. It's nice because it's totally transparent and you can see the white back. If anything, it just makes the phone look more badass.

Not taking any chances with this device. TPU cases offer minimal protection against drops, sure its cheap but I'd rather dish out the extra bucks for a reliable case. I have dropped my device many times already from carpet (not much to that I know ) to hardwood floors and the case has kept my device looking like new.

If you are minimalist, then you don't need a screen protector for your device. The screen of your device is pretty resistant (Gorilla corning).
For case, I am also looking for one, the thinnest I have seen are the carbon ones. TPU ones are a bit bulky IMO.

I'm still digging my D3O. I've yet to experience big drops (I'm really hoping not though). People complain too much over the buttons saying that they are too hard to press but really they soften over time.

While I didn't purchase one for my GN, I did have one on my previous phone. Nice case, but the silicone on the edges wear out a bit after a while and gets kind of loose. My biggest problem with commuters is the slippery plastic. For me, the feel of a case is right up there in priorities. The Seidio surface case has a nice soft touch covering on it and it protects the edges and provides a nice lip around the screen so it doesn't touch when you set it down on that side.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006JO232E/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
Very happy with the Commuter. I had one for my the Hero before i got this phone too and i couldn't recommend them enough.
I personally like that it has a "slippery" hard cover on the back so its easier to slip in and out of pockets. The front side still has the rubberized feel, if you need to put it somewhere that it won't slip. I do this while driving and just place it face down.
I have to say the version for the GN seems more solid and a tighter fit than what I used on the Hero. Only minor complaint is that the screen protector that comes with it doesn't cover the entire screen. Its still decent, though.
I'm thinking about trying a zagg screen protector, but i've read that people say it won't stay on when applied to phones with a case.
edit: got mine at thecellguru.com....seems to be the best deal going.
I use the OB Commuter on both mine and my fiances Gnexus.
I'm overly careful with my electronics so it's worked great,. She's hard as hell on them since she hates smartphones, would rather have a old flip phone, and just drops it, leaves it on the kitchen counter while she bakes, all sorts of stuff and her's doesn't have a scratch.

I have the otterbox defender for my galaxy 1 and it was a dirt and dust/lint magnet and it always made my screen dirty! but I gotta say it saved my phone many times and that's what it was made for!
Any one using the commuter with a GSM gnex + samsung original extended battery ?
I really like the case but it definitely adds a bit of bulk. Look at the difference between these two phones.
Great case tho. I really like it.

Yeah that's a great case , excellent feel fits well but the exposed bezel at top & bottom worried me a tad.
I picked up a cruzerlite on amazon to hold me over until the real cases come out. Downfall is the cruzerlite doesnt play well with my screen protector

Never had to, usually at&t has plenty. They actually blamed it on Hurricane Sandy, said interrupted deliveries.
I got a cheap one for 7 off ebay & ordered the Samsung White Note 2 case from mobilecityonline.com for $19.99. I'm going to not go case crazy like I did on the SGS3.
i don't normally get a case since i usually hate most that ive had, but i actually love the samsung tpu case. it is super thin, good coverage, rubber sides, plastic back that resembles what the phone looks like underneath, and lip that goes over the screen. you can get it 50% off on samsungs website with the coupon code, so $15. totally worth it.

Is it rubber skin thin? I mean, I dont want to bulk this device up at all but I want a really thin case.

its thin enough that you may mistake it for there being no case on there at all, just like the samsung tpu cases for the GS3. heres a thread with lots of pix and review for it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970161

This is why I always wait a bit to purchase my electronics. It makes everything easier to have a bit of patience.
Why does everyone dislike the flip cover case? It seems like decent protection and not bulky at all?

I can't speak for everyone but I know a disadvantage is that it blocks the notification light, making it useless to have.

Seriously, I might give it a go. As long as you can leave the flip cover folded over the back of the device for the times you want to be able to see the led notification then I should be fine. But I dont plan on getting a screen protector and for throwing it in my pockets or laptop bag the flip cover might do its job in protecting the big screen.
so im very particular about my case. What im looking for is a case that matches my siler HTC one as well as possible, so probably white and black. I prefer a minimalistic, modern look. I prefer it to feel good in the hand. and lastly to offer decent protection but not be huge and bulky. Here are the cases im deciding between at the moment. but im open to suggestions

Speck candyshell

I've personally always liked the Speck Candyshell. Durable as hell. Had my One X covered in a Candyshell and it got ejected during a car crash. The case had deep gashes but the phone was untouched.

How much bulk did it add? And how does it feel in the hand? Because it looks like the white is a shiny plastic.

It adds probably 2mm to the thickness. It doesn't feel slippery or anything, they do a pretty good job of making the case fairly grippy.

Avoid clear-ish thermoplastic cases. Just an fyi they will discolor after a few months of use. They are cheap and not bulky, but don't maintain their clear appearance
I have a Cruzerlite Bugdroid, clear case. I discolored in about 2 months, looks nicotine stained, lol. I would recommend the Otterbox Commuter, which I also have.
I have the Cimo S-Line clear case for my HTC One (M7). I've had it for about 4 months and it has not discoloured. I like that it doesn't detract from the sleek look of the phone, yet it does keep it from getting scratched and has enough "bounce" to protect it in a drop and keep the screen raised just enough to prevent contact with the ground. Link to the product on Newegg as well as link to another post I made with pics of my actual case/phone.

Here's my Bear Motion case... not at all the protection of the two you posted but I like a minimalist case that just keeps the phone from the everyday scratches that I can still easily fit in my slacks without bulking up too much. It's got a sweet felt/cork like coating on it. It's very nice in the hands.

That looks exactly the same as my imak case. Bought it from eBay under 10 dollars.

Second this. Got the blue on Amazon for $7 and can fit a Qi receiver underneath for wireless charging.

Yea if you are somewhat accident prone, then I'd definatly get a heavier duty case. I vote for the UAG case. That's the one I'd go for if I were to get a more rugged one. I'd like the white one, but have heard about camera flash issues with it...

I almost got the blue one! Thought it might be too flashy for me at work and settled on the black which I love. However I'd still like to see pics of your blue one if you got em
More information on this Qi charging system. I've seen a few, but none that are small enough to fit beneath this case...

I usually take pictures with my phone but will try to get one later. It's pretty subdued though.
This is the qi receiver I bought.

Yeah I have the Bear Motion case as well , I have the blue. And it's perfect if you need a case for grip but not protection. The case looks very well built and is extremely slim. The finish is very smooth but also has some grip to it. For $6 on Amazon I couldn't get a better deal.
