Hi guys,
I've just bought a Galaxy S2 and have fitted it into an S-Line silicon case.
The case is great, but I am trying to find a vertical leather pouch that I can fit this combination in to.
Has anybody found a leather pouch that will accommodate this combination of phone and silicon case?
Many thanks
Chris,
I also kinda had a similar thought with you. Since im ising this thin mercury & anymi case and like to combine with leather case. You might wanna consider this
Check out this item I found on eBay:
Cowhide Leather Case for Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 Brown

Of course the only situation is how thick your case right now? Since they are made from leather

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:

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
Hi, i'm searching for a SLIM case, but unlike the Barely There from Case-mate i want it to fully cover the phone.
Is there any around them? my research got no results
i have a ringke slim case on mine right now. fits the oem extended battery, its a pretty nice case and very slim

It does not cover the phone
try the sgp neo hybrid, its the thinnest dual layer case ive seen. i cut out the backing now so i use it as a bumber case.
hey im like you. i love the barely there case but i also had a problem with it offering just partial protection.
i ended up with the sgp ultra hybrid case. and i couldnt be happier. very slim. very well built. the only thing it doesnt cover is the screen. doesnt add much bulk.
i also have the sgp ultra capsule.. its just too shiny looking for me.
Diztronic Matte
I like the Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible *Revision 3* TPU Case.
$9.89 on Amazon, thin and covers phone
Incipio Silicrylic case ftw.

I recommend either one of these. The Ultra Hybrid may look thick, but it's actually thinner than the Cruzer Lite one as much to my surprise.

I like the cruzer lite, it adds a thick enough "lip" over the face of the phone that setting it down doesn't allow your screen to contact the surface you set it on. Plus it's only $9.

I also have this case and I really like it. It's matte, though, so it's not exactly grippy, if you're looking for that.
thinnest and uber cheap case
Hi there,
I'm not quite sure how thin you would like your case to be, but I recently discovered a couple of cases on ebay that may fit your description.
LINK: I'm sorry, I am a relatively new user on XDA and I can't post link just yet. However, you can ebay a seller called "smokydiscount" and keywords: 0.2mm Ultra thin case for galaxy nexus prime. Otherwise, just PM me.
MY OPINION: I really like these cases and they're great for scratch protection. As for drops and bumps, these cases are negligible; your phone will probably be just as damaged as compared to without a case.
PROS:
- Incredibly thin. It's as if your phone doesn't have a case on it
- WILL protect the back from any scratches. You can leave your phone on a rough surface without any concerns
- Very cheap
CONS:
- There is no front lip, meaning if you put your phone face down on a rough surface, beware. However, the case does come with a screen protector which is fairly decent (ALMOST to the same standard as Brando screen protectors)
- For some reason it does make the phone more slippery. The plastic doesn't provide any grip
- The case is very fragile when it is not applied on your phone. I had to get a replacement sent out because the case came to my house cracked, most probably due to the postage and handling.
Despite the cons, this is definitely one of my favourite cases. Check them out.

I just just got the Speck Pixel skin HD, and its pretty great. Thinner profile than my otter box commuter, yet it feels much better. It looks pretty good, but I don't know if it was really worth $30

Leather has a nasty feeling to me, especially when it is cheap leather.
I cannot believe there is not some sort of padded case, or silicone...SOMETHING other than leather. I find it hard to believe all there is is cheap bulky leather cases for the Infinity.
Please link to all non leather cases for those of us that don't like leather cases.

This is one of my favorite case,it was great when i had my Galaxy Tab 10.1
I bought this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004T655OW/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
It's nothing exciting, but it's not leather, and it has a pocket for SD cards and screen wipes.
I use the ballistic sg case. My wife uses the incipio silicryllic case.

Bought the incipio silicrylic after that and love it. It has a soft gel case that's easy to push the buttons but also has a hard shell that protects each of the corners.

Hi guys,
I am looking for a case for a new Galaxy Nexus I bought..
I would like to request answers with advantages and disadvantages for the following cases:
* SGP Ultra Hybrid
* SGP Neo Hybrid
* Diztronic Matte Back Black / Smoke
I must say - I am working in a really rough place - this is why I need a slim and yet really though case
And I currently own a Galaxy S2 with SGP Neo Hybrid case - and I was pretty impressed by its greatness of protecting my phone
But I would like to acquire a case that is a one piece and not two pieces
BTW - please vote on my poll
Thanks in advanced,
Din.
I have the diztronic case and I can say that it does a good job of protecting the phone while still feeling slim in the hand. I can't speak for the SGP as I've never tried one.
I recommend either the ultra hybrid or ultra capsule. They're light , durable, and stylish. Had them both

Diztronic case here also. Great slim case for the price. Nice fit also even with 2000mah extended battery.

you can find the others in their website
I'm using a cruzerlite right now and love it. The colors they provide, the protection you get, and the soft case that doesn't make it that much bulkier. The only thing is that it's been pushing up on my screen protector..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
thank you..looks good..i,m really liking the Mercury tpu cases..waiting for my yelow one to arrive
the diztronic has more lip on it so I would go that route for slightly better protection. the mercury TPU cases are also really nice but they only fit the GSM variants.
I have the Dizitronic case as well. I have some others that I use but that is my primary one. Provides a decent amount of protection and doesn't add much bulk - I like the lip on it as well because I can set the phone down on its face without any concern.
If you want something that is more 'tough' might want to check out the Incipio Silicrylic cases as well. Dual layer so will probably handle a drop better than these TPU style cases. I use that for days when I am being active (running, hiking, etc).

Yup..i know,thats what I have..GSM..the Future :]
i have the Ultra hybrid and while it doesnt provide that much protection you arent going to find a thin case that offers any true protection, If you want a protective case i would go with the Kraken or Otterbox or something of the like. Otherwise the fit and design of the Ultra Hybrid is absolutely perfect if you have a GSM phone it provides good protection for cosmetic damage and has a small lip which provides some level of protection when you place the phone screen side down.
the Ultrahybrid also does not attract lint nor does it stick in your pocket like some other TPU/silicon cases. I personally recommend the ultrahybrid if you are going for a minimalist case.
The Neohybrid is one i would definitely stay away from especially if you use multiple batteries and need to pull the phone out of the case alot. Over time the silicon sleeve will become loose and just wont fit your phone nice and snug as it had before.
hope this helps.
- Cheers
I have neo hybrid and kraken. Kraken is like wearing a suit of armor. Its huge and heavy but a great case. I have the neo on it now and love it. Light, grips well and looks nice.
