I got the fake leather SGP Skin Guard for my metallic gray Tab.
The skin doesn't fit perfectly on the bottom part of the Tab but it is barely noticeable especially with the metallic gray Tab.
The skin gives a nice touch to the back of the device. I haven't tried to remove it yet, so I do not know if it leaves any residue.
I got the Skin Guard at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058OGTCG
thanks for the pics !
i wanted to get it but having the Book cover case + the black TPU cover, I didnt see the need of it anymore...
Hi guys,
When I look at the forum, it's like advertisements of new products which doesn't tell me a lot. So can you please recommend me:
A case that:
doesn't require me to open some part to access the screen
protects the phone well against drops
is comfortable to hold and touch (my fingers won't get itchy etc.)
And a screen protector that:
protects without distorting the image quality and responsiveness of the screen
doesn't leave bubbles inside (I hate the bubbles) or fingerprints outside
is a little slippery so it won't be a hard job for me to move fingers on the screen
THANKS IN ADVANCE FELLAS!
There is a hybrid case, just search hybrid case sgs2 in amazon,
I'm perfectly happy with that.
Downsides:
- not so slim anymore
- more weight
But my phone feels safe
And I'd suggest the Mumbi-screen protectors,
but you'll still some have fingerprints.
But once applied right (not easy btw )
they fit perfectly
Muta
you can look at the case-mate tough or the otterbox commuter, they both rock.
i bought the case-mate a few days ago, waiting untill it arrives
I also recommend the cases that other posters have, for a screen protector look no further than this.

Ive just recieved a Zenus Air Jacket looks sleek and smart, they do a range of colours, and it comes with a screen protector too, although i tried to fit mine and some dust came out of nowhere and went onto my screen so i had to bin it , hopefully the gorilla glass will protect instead

I have a transparent Casemate Barely There.
It's a bit rigid but I think is the thinnest case on sale.
The transparent one gives to the phone a nice shiny look.

I bought a hardcase, but i had the problem with the echo voice !
i heard my own voice twice !
is the problem fixed now?
In my personal opinion i like otterbox for SGS2, fits well, it has a metal cover for back side and plastic covers for usb port and earphones, i have one.

Personally, I bought a pack screen protector + white case on ebay.
You can search on ebay :
LOT 7en1 Housse Etui Coque Rigide/FILMS Protecteur Pour Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100
sold by citephone
I just tried different case.
I prefer hard cover.
I try
1) Phoenix tough case: i broke upper corner, rubber come out after a bit of time
Vote: 3/10
Price around 15€
2) Samsung Original Mesh Vent case: Too sensitive and since have hole the dust come in and leave and put it many times to clean i broke the upper corner. In any case it offer a very low protection
Vote 5.5/10
Price around 18€
3)Tpu soft cover gel from ebay: it is not so soft but offer a better protection than other but for it's material attire too many dust on the border. It offer a good grip
Price 5€
Vote 6.5/10 (for now)
At end i buy also Case-Mate Tough that have 2 layer protection but it has not arrived.
Arrived
Perfect case optimal protection and grip. 2 thing. Inside silicon collect dust and dont put while phone is on because it press power button to reboot
Incipio NGP case. Martin Fields screen protector.
A lot of people are recommending products that does not stand out. I prefer to make my phone special so it stands out when I take it out. I like sleek , high tech looking things and thats what this setup is about:
I am currently using metal black battery cover:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263780
with real aluminum black phone case: (see akiba slider or SZLF slider)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263780
(SZLF or china made version on ebay for $30, search i9100 metal case)
with ultra optics
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263780
result is a Sleek phone with a premium metal feel to it. The ultra optics cancels out fingerprints while maintaining good optical clarity. (you may need to clean it still every 1 week or so like any protector)
If you are daring, remove the case and just replace the housing for 15$ on ebay every time it gets too scratched.

I got the Incipio NGP case as well and it is pretty sweet--has a great feel and is thin, although the back is a little bit too smooth but I still like it.
That is a good idea on the housing. I might try a white housing.
What is your opinion on a screen protector? I don't like how it adds a layer and changes the feel--and besides, the SGS2 has gorilla glass.
I currently have the Diztronic matte clear case on my white GSIII. As it is starting to yellow a bit I have began the hunt for a nice fitting white case. I really like the fit of the Diztronic case because it does not add much bulk, it covers all the edges of the screen (unlike the barely there cases) and it has the cutouts for the volume rocker and power buttons.
Ideally, if I can find a case exactly like this in white I'd be happy but it seems that cases these days are usually a mix of colors and you can't just find a good quality all white TPU case that fit the criteria above.
So I'm turning to you guys to post pics of the white case you have as well as your impressions of it and a link to where the case can be purchased.
Thanks for the help.
I don't have one to show you but I'm getting the PureGear Dualtek Extreme Shock case in white.

Great Case for the Galaxy s3. The case fits perfectly to the phone and is snug. It's very protective of the phone. The best thing is that I can now lay my phone face down and the glass doesn't touch.
Just want to know from you guys experience.
Who makes the best cases/covers/shells for samsung?
And if any of you are using cases/shells/covers, which are you using? Would you recomend?
What are your experiences?
I'm not really a fan of the flipcases
Thanks
If you are on a high budget, you could look at the Impact-absorbing Tech21 cases.
Those are of high build quality.
I recently got a casemate tough case for my sgs4 mini and I am very pleased with it, both handling-wise and in terms of general ruggedness.
Did anyone get a screen protector? I loved the exim ultraprotect on my old nokia, but the s4 mini is my first phone with a capacitive touch screen and I am unsure if a screen protector will hurt its responsiveness.
I got a screen protector applied the moment I unpackaged my phone at the shop. They applied a Screenguard branded clear (non-matte) screen protector and responsiveness hasn't been an issue in the 4 weeks I've had the phone.
This screen protector ($4) is a fingerprint magnet though, but it has perfect cut-outs for the light, proximity sensors and front - facing camera as well as the home button.
Case
I just bought a Belkin case named "Grip Sheer Matte" in a blackish-brownish transparent tone for the black S4m (ha! SAM!).
It was 12€ in an electronics store here in .de but you can probably get it cheaper online (see link).
I like the soft and smooth feel. The case fits quite good and protects the back and all edges. The ports and buttons are accessible and the holes on the back for camera and speaker are in the right places.
Cheers,
CS
I bought the original Samsung Flip Cover with view... I think its the best but it was not cheap.
Just got a Samsung Flip Cover without view (which replaces the back cover). After using a ROCK flip case, a MERCURY Fancy Diary flip case and a simple metallic-red non-flip case, the Samsung Flip Cover seems to do its job best. The cover is heavy enough to hold itself down when the phone is facing up, and folds behind nicely such that it is comfortable to hold.
What's the point of having such a small metal bumper? In case of a drop it won't absorb any energy ...
Its probably to protect the original metal rim against scratches and bumps. Good for maintaining the resale value! (The screen protector will protect the front, and the back cover is replaceable)
damn.. i want those pretty and sturdy cases from otterbox, uag, spigen etc
Does the S-View cover also protect the edges?
After almost 2 months I notice that I already have a couple of bumps right on the edge of the screen. I don't want to buy a thick shell since I bought the Mini exactly because of the sleaziness and the S-view looks quite nice..

No. The S-View cover replaces your back cover of the phone. Thus it only protects the back. The sides are exposed except for the left side of the phone where the cover flips over the phone.

For me the ideal would be a bumper, so that the edges are protected and I'm not carrying around a brick. I'll keep on duckduckgoing and see what I can find..
I've been looking for a decent rubber bumper as well. I've only seen a metal one with a weird branding on the side. Do post here if you manage to find one!

Will a rubber bumper protect against a drop (say, from table height)? Will the S-view cover protect against a drop?
I wouldn't be bothered by scratch or bumps on the plastic housing. Mainly looking for protection against the screen/digitizer/glass breaking from a fall.
I bought this one.
Fits tightly around the S4 mini and does not add any bulk. The phone still looks very slim and small. Material is of good scratch resistance but probably not a real bumper. It's slightly transparent, so the Samsung logo and the silver pattern of the back cover shines through a bit. Really looks good.

I just received the same case and it is better than expected. Took less than a week from Germany to UK and less than 10 GBP Inc postage.
This case is so small and thin that it doesn't alter the feel of the phone apart from the texture. It'sthin enough to fit in my S2 desktop charger/dock and also my windscreen mount with the case on.
I ordered the following in blue/black. It looks somewhat...different! I hope it's not too much when I put it on the phone. It came to six euros which is reasonable. I'll post my impressions when it arrives.

Just though I'd share a pic of this beautiful skin. It has the most precise cuts of any skin I've owned. It's also very high quality. A lot of people have thought it was real wood! @Zephyr!

It's worth every penny. Just don't forget to heat up the edges when applying.
What material is that , any link maybe ? Thanks!
The material is 3M vinyl and I'll add the link to OP.
I regret taking my one off, the bright red one I swapped it with it nice, but the wood is much better
I have that one, and the "Tiger Stripe" also..all "wood like" skins that dbrand offers, BUT..I prefer "Sticker Boy" skins, MANY more "wood like" skins, 15 total, I own eight of the Sticker Boy wood like skins and will add more to my collection soon..
Here is a link to a few of my cases with Sticker Boy skins..and the shipping is 2x faster the dbrand..
Here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60545497
Also see OP in the same thread..I have all my skins on a clear and gray slip on case, the skin will NOT stick well to the grippy, textured back shell, I use slip on (hard) gray and clear cases, apply the skin to the case, and can change phone theme daily..

Do the skins work well on the Sandstone back?
I have seen warnings from some skin vendors advising against use on the sandstone black cover.

I haven't personally had any trouble with mine sticking. But apparently other's have.
Yeah..Seems where alot are having trouble is when the devices is inserted in the pocket, and the skin collects dust, pocket lint and so on..I personally have never tried any skin placed on the factory back SandStone shell (the textured), I did install a skin onto the factory shell, but it seemed to me, not to be something longterm without a clear case over it, would peel off very easily, but I have not tested extensively the stickability of any skin, longterm on the SandStone textured shell..

I could see how that would be a problem over time. I have a gold aluminum bumper case on the way and once that gets here it'll cover the edges of the device and skin. Hopefully that'll help keep it on.

Yeh..great idea..I have a gold, and a black billet aluminum as you mentioned..One could also use a clear/transparent case, I have a few different models and works well, and protects, holds in place the skin..

I've had D-Brand Skin directly on the factory sandstone since December. Have slipped on and off various cases over the skin. For the last month, I've been using it without any case and carry it around in my front pocket and the edges are fine. No lift or dust. I suspect that it will last until I ever decide to peel it off. In fact I did have the small part around the camera lens covered with the skin as well and when I decided to remove it, it was quite difficult to get under the edge to remove that piece.
Thanks for the heads up, very intriguing indeed. Now I feel like picking up a carbon fiber white back with carbon fiber red logo for my silk white OPO. The prices are pretty reasonable too!

As far as the price/quality ratio goes dbrand is as good as it gets.

For the most part, your statement is true, but as an owner of many dbrand (8 or more) skins, and particularly the "wood like" skins, dbrand offers two options for the 1+1, and as an owner of (6 or more) StickerBoy skins, which offer 15 "wood like" skins, many more options and the quality/fit is just as good (or better) than dbrand, ALSO..shipping here in the U.S. is MUCH faster with StickerBoy..I also have a few Slick Wraps, but with my past Moto devices, particularly the 2014 Moto X, Second Edition, Slick Wrap skins where 99% of the time, to large overall, overlapping the frame of the device..
My point of view and opinion is, Sticker Boy has my overall vote, because I own many of each manufacturer..and can give an honest viewpoint..

I've got the carbon fibre one, with the camera and logo. What happened to my OPO is that the sandstone back started to wear off over time, so before I stuck my carbon skin on (also from Dbrand) I really wiped it and rubbed it so that it would come off as much as possible. After applying it, I heated the edges and did everything as shown on the official video and have fallen in love with it. It looks and feels fantastic! I've had it for over two months, no issues at all. It's literally become part of the phone, it doesn't feel cheap or feel like it's ever going to come off on its own.
Looks much better in real life, compared to the pictures.
