Some pics would be realy realy nice, so everybody could see how it fits and if they could get used to it.
EDIT: Also you can add the SGP Neo Hybrid and SGP Neo Hybrid EX to the list. First one has a loose are around the camera (as seen in another thread) and the other one fits nicely.
I would put some pictures up but I don't own all of them, and a few I've checked out in Retail stores, however If I buy any that fit, i'll make sure I post up photos of the fit.
Then just put the pictures in you own. Some others who have the extended battery and a case could send you their pictures and you could implement them into your post.
When I get my S2, 2000 mAh battery and decided for a case i will do some pictures for you, too.
PS: You could link every name of the cases to their official pages, too.
Here are some:

Case-Mate Barely There: case-mate.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Cases/Case-Mate-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Barely-There-Cases.asp
Hope I can help improving your thread I think your thread can help very many people.
Would love to know about the Otterbox Commuter compatibility.

Hi all!
Yes, as most soft cases the Graphix fits, but you'll see some looseness in the camera section. Also, I did not like the grip of this case at all, it felt slippery imo.
I went for the Neon hybrid instead, very satisfied.
How tight is the fit on the Case Mate Tough case with the 2000mah battery? I like the look of it and just placed an order for it. Is it so tight that there's a risk of damaging the phone?
Zenus Skin Air Jacket
Just got the new battery and put it in my Zenus Skin Air Jacket... dont know what to say... sadly it doesnt fit... but its useable.
The edge of the phone comes out a bit and therefore the access to the volume and powerbutton is limited.
I made some photos but cant post the links due lack of postcount
The Walnutt bumper fits for sure, but hell, it it even fits my Momax 2700mah Expower batts, so that's a moot point.
I am within the M25 and have an otterbox for my S2 if you need to try it then pm me.
what is the sense of using a bumper of a sgp neo hybrid ?
i mean, isnt the purpose of a case to cover the whole phone? both the examples above mentioned appear to just cover the borders of the phone, leaving uncovered the whole back of it.
actually sgp neo hybrid series sounds just like a overpriced bumper.
anyone, can prove the opposite?
actually i am very interested in this because it looks like there is no real hard non/bumper case fitting with the new battery: and the only (crappy) solutions appear to be either bumpers or gum/rubber cases ...

IT fits but the rubber part is under a small amount of pressure, pushing the phone out of the hard plastic casing. it is MINIMAL, if your like me and fiddle with your phone all the time, it is just a case of pushing it with the lightest touch back in.
It won't damage the phone unless your trying the impossible (pushing the phone into the bottom cutout.) and pushing so hard you crack the hard plastic shell in otherwords impossible. the ideal would be to cut the rubber out in the shape of the battery lid compartment. on the rubber part, then assembling with the hard casing. so you remove the tension off the added thickness.
if I have a hybrid neo spg .... and put the battery without the back cover ... only with the case spg ... looks good? or can cause problems? (Sorry for my English)

Cool. Thanks for the detailed description. I hate to mangle new case, but I may have to do that. Wonder if cutting out the battery compartment rubber part may reduce shock resistance of the case.
Can anyone tell me if it will fit in the Samsung Leather Pouch?
If not are there any other 'pouch' style cases that will?
thanks
Hello
Could anubody help me to find a schockproof case resistant to falls for my Galaxy S II? I don't mind if is not cool unless my phone is well protected
What material should it be? and what kind of case do you think that is best?
It HAS to be compatible with the original 2000mah battery!
thanks a lot for your help
The Case Mate Tough case fits, but a bit tight. Someone said that ideally would need to cut out the battery rubber liner (it's a double lined case). YouTube has a bunch of reviews of this case.
take a look at sweet armor, taurus, and akiba slider cases
these cases are made of metal with plastic padding inside.
Not sure about shock proof but it looks very durable.
that or just buy a silicon case. there are new cases made with a matte type of silicon or TPU. they feel really nice in the hand!
Thanks for the help. they really look good. but 60-70 $ for a bumper seems too much for me. I think that I'll go on a casemate tough.
I'm looking to get a case for my WHITE galaxy s2 but I need some advice

That thread was of no help whatsoever. I did search it already, maybe you would like to take a look at both threads.
go for the mesh!
I am going to get the original Samsung mesh case from a Korean ebay seller called shimshop at just 10 bucks shipped.
My experience with many previous phone is when I just get the phone I want to get all the different case and protection for it, but after a year most likely I will remove them all and just use the phone naked as I don't care anymore.
Your phone will not worth much after a year or two anyway, and any case WILL add bulk to the phone.
So I now will get a cheap and slim case for basic scratch protection for at most a year only then forget about any protection.
I'm looking for a shock absorbing thin case, what do you recommend?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I wanted a as slim as possible case and I wanted it to protect all the way around the perimeter of the phone. Here are the choices (in order from first to last), help me decide.
Rearth Ringke Slim - At $28 it's a bit expensive and it doesn't cover the sides. Also looks to be less grippy since it's hard smooth plastic.
BoxWave Blackout - I'm worried it's thicker than a case like the Rearth, but with that said it protects all around and is really cheap at $12. I think the material is more rubber like which sounds more appealing to a gloss hard case. Not many reviews anywhere for this case.
elago G4elago G4 - I'm not sure about this case in general.
Thanks for your input.
Personally I like the Leather style flip cases, The one that doubles up as a wallet.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-WAL..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3374db7913
I would never pay more than £10 (delivered) for a case.
in terms of slimness i've basically narrowed it down to two giants.
1. sgp ultra thin
2. casemate barely there.
not sure which ones better but from what i can tell they're pretty much the same, both at a hefty 25 bucks.
anyways, i'm in the same boat as you. XD
not sure which case to get.

I have the rearth and it is very slim, the only down side it is a beeeoootch to take off (i have a dock/charger for the phone) and if you take it on and off a lot it cracks and the part closet to the usb port cover, nothing earth shattering it actually makes it much easier to take the case off - that and the sgp ultra clear and it is almost like having nothing on the phone at all.
I have used diztronic cases for the last year (for my SII and now my N7000). They are very similar to the boxweave case you posted.
http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Fle...0386413&sr=8-3&keywords=diztronic+galaxy+note
As you know TPU protects like a silicon case but doesn't stick in your pocket or collect lint and dust due to it not being "sticky" feeling. I recently sold my SII for over $300 after 8 months of daily use because my SII was in perfect condition as a result of being in a diztronic tpu case. No, I never dropped the phone on cement or anything but I dropped my SII on the carpet from 5+ feet and the phone was unchanged when I picked it up. Didn't pop out of case or battery, etc. Because the tpu cases have a 1/8 or so "lip" on the front they also allow the phone to be placed face down on flat surfaces. IMHO and experience, a good tpu case is all you need to fully protect your phone unless you work in construction or somehow expect to drop it on cement.
So, my vote goes to the boxweave or diztronic cases. BTW I got 2 diztronics for $14 from amazon, the black matte and smoke matte. Great deal!
^I'm actually thinking of getting a real cheap TPU case like that I can mod. My ideal case is a TPU Bumper, maybe the Boxwave Black out without the back part but have the vol and power buttons cut out. I guess it's just not feasible so far... ?
Anyway, Thanks for the input so far guys, keep it coming.
bumper TPU from Amazon

first post here,
I have one of these.
search amazon for bumper cases.
I'm not allowed to post urls.
I like it, I have it on right now. What I have is different from what's
in the pictures. No cutouts for the buttons and the other cutouts are not
as big. The covers of the buttons are pretty sensitive, unlike the covers
for the Boxwave type which I got from Hongkong for 2 bucks.
Check amazon out, they have a lot of cases.
I also have the elago Breathe case, I love them I have two.
I ended up taking my chances on this. I guess it's going to be as close as I get. Thanks everyone, I'll let you know how it is when I get it.

Hi all, I'm in a similar dilemma.
I've got a choice between these two:
https://www.gearzap.com/media/catalog/product/3/4/34484-2.jpg
and
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HYBRID-SI...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item416682f7b6
I know I should pick the Zenus, but would the inside bit that holds my phone scratch the outer bezel? And since the hybrid one has a silicon case THEN a hard outer shell I figured it would be good too. Any ideas?
Thanks!
I use a an SGP Ultra thin. Comfortable case. Considering the size of the phone the case is great. Merges with the Phone. +1 anytime.
I ordered this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160732471512?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649. It has a stand that works in both axis.
good
Nice
Order the Rock Elegant Leather Flip Case for my stylish Sony Xperia Z3 Compact two weeks ago. Get it today and find it really nice. Would like to
recommend to all of you.
The case features a stylish leather cover that offers grip and comfort. A soft microfiber interior lining keeps the display scratch free when the flip cover is
closed. Available color options include black and white.

Got the same one for a while now. And got a rock case for my z ultra too.
They're cheap and very good quality. Can recommend it!

Yes! This is a very nice case. I have one of these too. Quality is good and it fits nicely. I can recommend this case if someone wants a flip case.
Can you post picture how it look in real life please, thanks. And does it have gap for magnetic charging?
